After some inquiring, Luo Xue found out that it was Leng Xi who took Leng Ming to Tianxiang Tower for a drink.

How could she not be angry?Leng Ming was originally a hesitant person, and Leng Xi was a very scheming person. The two of them were fooling around together. If Leng Xi caused trouble for Leng Ming, he would definitely go astray.

It seemed that she had to stop Leng Ming and Leng Xi from interacting in private.

While thinking about this, she returned to the Huichun Hall. Seeing her coming back, Luo Lan hurriedly greeted her.

"Xue, why did you come back? How are you?"

Luo Xue raised her head and looked at Luo Lan's concerned look. She decided not to tell her about Leng Ming, otherwise she would be worried.

Thinking of this, she gave a forced smile, then shook her head,

"I met a juggler on the way. I watched it for a while and then got delayed. Isn't it busy here?"

"I'm not busy. I just sent away a group of patients. Just come back. Come in and have dinner."

"it is good."

Luo Xue responded lightly, but her heart was a little absent-minded.

……

Xiwang Mansion

Leng Xi has been busy these days, because Prince Yu's palace is going to hold a meeting to elect martial arts masters. This is the rarest opportunity to get close to Leng Yu. If he doesn't take advantage of it, Leng Xi will probably regret it.

Now, a man with handsome features stood in front of him. He looked at him and said seriously:

"Yang Feng, I have promised you in advance that you can only win in this competition, not lose, and you must enter Prince Yu's Mansion to serve. Otherwise, Xiaohui will not guard you alone."

When Xiaohui was mentioned, the man's face suddenly turned livid.

Xiaohui was his childhood playmate. At that time, they played together all day long. He promised her that he would protect her and marry her when he grew up.

However, the good times did not last long. When they were ten years old, there was a locust plague in the village, and there was no grain harvest in the fields. The villagers had to pay land rent to the court. Not only did the villagers have no food to eat, but they also had to borrow money from the court.

As a result, most people were forced to have no choice but to seek refuge with relatives and friends. Yang Feng's parents also died of serious illness that year. He became an orphan overnight. Fortunately, he was later taken away by a distant relative, and then Later, when his relatives could no longer live in his house, he was taken in by an outsider by a strange combination of circumstances. From then on, he embarked on the road of practicing martial arts.

More than ten years later, he never forgot Xiaohui, so he bid farewell to his master and returned to his hometown to look for Xiaohui.

However, when he returned to his hometown, after many inquiries, he found out that in the second year after he left, Xiaohui's family also suffered sudden changes. Her mother died of illness and she was sold by her father. No one knew where she was sold.

Xiaohui was missing. This news made him very scared. He was afraid that she would live a life of being homeless or being bullied by others. So, he began to perform around the country while looking for Xiaohui...

Just half a month ago, he accidentally discovered that Xiaohui was working as a prostitute in Zuiyuelou, the largest brothel in the capital, and she was also the top prostitute.

When he proposed to take Xiaohui away, the Madam of Zuiyue Tower told him that if he wanted to redeem Xiaohui's life, he would need at least 3 taels of silver.

3 million taels?

Over the years, he has been traveling around the world as a performer. He needs food, drink, and shelter. He doesn't even have 30 taels of silver. Where can he get 3 taels of silver?

From that day on, he went to Zuiyue Tower to look for Xiaohui every day. A few days ago, the Madam patiently persuaded him not to have any wishful thinking. Xiaohui's worth was not something he could just see at first sight.

A few days later, the madam became impatient, and she directly called the thugs in Zuiyue Tower to start beating him away.

But no matter how skilled he was, the thugs in Zuiyue Tower were no match for him. He beat them to pieces with just three strikes.

For this reason, the bustard reported to the official, and Shuntian Prefecture sent a large number of officials to surround him.

At the same time, Xiaohui also came out to beg him in person not to let him cause trouble and to let him leave here quickly.

In desperation, he escaped from Zuiyue Tower after fighting off several officials.

Before leaving, he personally told Xiaohui that he would save enough money to come back and redeem her life.

But he knew in his heart that with the little money he earned, he would never be able to raise enough money to redeem her.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was useless, that he could not even protect his own woman despite all his efforts.

So, he came to Tianxiang Tower to drink. It was at this time that Leng Xi heard about this. He came to Tianxiang Tower and took the opportunity to talk to him.

Under Leng Xi's deliberate guidance, Yang Feng seemed to have found someone to talk to, and began to frantically mention things about himself and Xiaohui to Leng Xi.

When Leng Xi saw that Yang Feng was on the road, he proposed that as long as Yang Feng worked for him, he would receive 6000 taels of silver per year and 3 taels of silver in five years, which could be used to redeem Xiaohui's life.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, why wouldn't Yang Feng agree?

But after Yang Feng knew Leng Xi's identity, he knew that what he asked him to do must be no small matter. Although he hesitated a little, he finally compromised.

He knew that even if he was given 50 years, he would not be able to earn the 3 taels of silver.

After much thought, he decided to agree to Leng Xi, but he also made a request, that is, during these five years, no one else is allowed to touch Xiaohui.

Leng Xi immediately reached an agreement with him and promised that within the next five years, although Xiaohui would live in Zuiyue Tower, she would only perform arts and not sell her body, and she would not be allowed to accept guests no matter how much money they paid.

Of course, during this period, Yang Feng would also work for Leng Xi unconditionally. After five years, he would redeem Xiaohui's life and give her her freedom.

What Yang Feng didn't know was that the reason why Leng Xi agreed to him unscrupulously was because the Zuiyue House was Leng Xi's property. When he learned about Yang Feng from his servants, he had an idea in his mind. .

He was worried. He needed to find someone who looked familiar, had good kung fu, and could be used by him. He could sneak into Prince Yu's Mansion by taking advantage of the opportunity given by Prince Yu's Mansion to find martial arts teachers for those children.

This man who fought over a prostitute was exactly what he was looking for.

Hence, the conversation between the two of them today.

Leng Xi looked at Yang Feng with half-squinted sinister and sharp eyes. Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, he guessed that he was hesitant, so he deliberately asked again:

"I don't have much time to spend with you here. You have to understand that Xiaohui is the number one in Zuiyue Tower. It will be easy for her to earn 3 taels of silver in three to five years. Anyway, Zuiyue Lou’s madam is still reluctant to let go of this money-spinner. If you regret it, this business will be abandoned and you can leave!”

Seeing Leng Xi say this and thinking of Xiaohui's pitiful eyes, Yang Feng immediately gritted his teeth and nodded bitterly,

"Okay, since I, Yang Feng, dare to accept your money from Lord Xi, I am certainly sure to win in this competition. However, I have to make it clear in advance that no matter what the reason is, I, Yang Feng, will not commit any crime or commit any crime. Burning, killing and looting..."

"Don't negotiate conditions with me here. You have no conditions to negotiate..."

This……

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, and his head, which had been held high just now, instantly dropped.

He sighed, clenched his fists, and said bitterly:

"For Xiaohui, it doesn't matter if I, Yang Feng, do some evil things. Since I am living under someone else's roof, I have to bow my head. Don't worry, since I bowed my head to you today, I will naturally do what you said. Within five years, I will be used by you as you wish. Sent..."

Seeing that he finally spoke softly, Leng Xi had a smile of success on his lips,

"It's good that you know. I don't want to force you. I won't be so hesitant when you embrace the beauty. However, I can give you some time to think about it. If you regret it now, it may still be too late."
