Stop water and do nothing

The moon is rising, under the night, Jincheng is bustling, and the lights are dim...

Ah Bian drove the carriage through the bustling city full of lights and feasting.Both sides of the street are covered with night buildings of Goulan Opera House and the like, all kinds of lanterns are shining brightly, the sea of ​​people flows through, bustling, bustling, Ah Bian yelled, and moved forward very slowly.

"Ah Bian, hurry up, I'm going to be late!"

Inside the carriage, Shang Qianshui's voice came.

"Young master, there are too many people on this street, the carriage cannot go fast."

"Just stop by the side of the road, I can walk over by myself." As he said, Shang Qianshui rolled up a gorgeous robe and was about to step off the carriage.

"Young master, this is not good..." Ah Bian persuaded, "I will try my best to hurry up, please get back in the car and wait later."

…………

This fragrant and bustling night market is called Zongqing Township. It is three to five miles away from the Nineteen Waterfalls of Penshan Mountain. It is built around the mountain and bordered by the river.If you look at it during the day, this place is just an empty and lonely city with closed doors and closed houses. However, when night falls and the lights first come on, Zongqing Township suddenly changes into a completely different scene...

Looking around, the fireworks are in full bloom in the dark night sky, shining bright and blurred.People in Chinese clothes and brocade clothes laugh among the blooming flowers, playing music on silk pipes and expressing their feelings.Along the road, there are waterside pavilions and terraces, staggered cornices, and countless lights and shadows gathered, which are gorgeous and charming.On the shimmering moon pool, there are several amazingly gorgeous and huge stages, where graceful and raucous beauties dance lightly, with silky waves and water sleeves, and feather gauze and neon dresses.

Shang Qianshui looked at the stage that was singing in the distance, with an anxious expression, "It's not good, it's too late!"

He had just stepped out of the carriage, but unexpectedly his shoulder was held down by a big hand, and Gao Zhiqi grabbed him back from behind!

"If it's too late, it's too late, and it's better not to be in time."

"No, I accepted the contract, and I will lose money if I am absent!"

"If you lose money, you lose money. It's better to lose money."

"Stop giving up!"

"what?"

"Let go of me!"

"Don't let it go."

Shang Qianshui was so anxious that he wanted to jump out of the car and run away, but he couldn't break free from Gao Zhiqi's hand, so the two started fighting again, causing the carriage to sway, which seemed particularly violent from the outside, causing trouble Many passers-by looked suspiciously or enviously...

Ah Bian buried his head as if he could neither see nor hear, raised his horsewhip in his hand, and turned the car into a side alley, hoping to send his young master to Maixiao Lou as soon as possible.

"Then where is Maixiaolou?"

In the carriage, Gao Zhiqi grabbed Shang Qianshui and asked.

"The name is 'Rose Tower'!"

"No matter what building it is, when you say you want to work, do you mean that place?"

"Yes……"

Gao Zhiqi felt a little pain in his head, and it got worse and worse.He thought that if Shang Qianshui agreed to him, he could fight with him immediately, and he could go back to Yueliang City to announce the good news after he settled it, but he suddenly moved out an inexplicable shopping hall for him!

Providence? !

He Gao Zhiqi asked himself Yushu Linfeng, how did he get involved with Shang Qianshui, who had endless troubles? !

Looking at Gao Zhiqi's increasingly gloomy face, Shang Qianshui held the ball and said in a low voice, "Zhiqi, I promise you, I will be with you tomorrow morning..."

"No," Gao Zhiqi raised his hand to interrupt him, "I want to solve tonight's problem for you first!"

"What's the problem?" Shang Qianshui blinked.

Question... Gao Zhiqi took a deep breath, and his eyes that were deeply locked swept Shang Qianshui from the top of his head to his feet...

Gold hairpins and pearls, colorful clothes with flowers, snow-smooth lips, beautiful wind...

Seeing Shang Qianshui dressed up like this, Gao Zhiqi had an indescribable feeling.It's not ugly, but it just doesn't look good.If he really had to make a choice, he would prefer to see Shang Qianshui's lively appearance in light blue clothes and long braided hair.

Especially, when the breeze blows over the hair hanging on both sides of his cheeks, and he smiles, a faint blush appears on his fair skin...

"Stop giving up?"

Feeling that the way Gao Zhiqi looked at him became a little strange, Shang Qianshui carefully called him while holding the ball.

This sound immediately interrupted Gao Zhiqi's imaginings, he came back to his senses in astonishment, coughed a few times, and turned his eyes away from Shang Qianshui's face, "Uh, where did we just talk?"

"You said you wanted to solve my problem..." Shang Qianshui whispered.

"Problem..." Gao Zhiqi slapped his thigh, "Yes, solve the problem!"

"Stop giving up?" Shang Qianshui shrank slightly in shock from his momentum.

"Qianshui," Gao Zhiqi suddenly reached out and grabbed Shang Qianshui's shoulder, facing him face to face, "Answer me!"

"Hmm..." Shang Qianshui nodded in bewilderment, holding the ball tightly with both hands.

Even though he has seen Gao Zhiqi like this several times, Shang Qianshui is still at a loss when facing his approaching aura.

Gao Zhiqi grabbed him vigorously, only to feel the coldness that was no longer unfamiliar gradually pouring into his palm, "Qianshui, are you really the young master of Shangshui Palace, Shang Qianshui?"

"..." Shang Qianshui didn't want to answer anymore, but the man's gaze was so serious and intense that he had no choice but to answer, "Yes..."

"Qian Shui..." Gao Zhiqi's grip on Shang Qianshui's shoulders intensified against the increasingly strong cold air, ignoring the other party's struggling intentions, and said in a steady voice, "Tonight, no matter whether we No matter how to stop you, you have to go to dance in that shopping mall, right?"

"Yes...it's the Qiangwei Tower..." Shang Qianshui's body and shoulders were shaken vigorously by his hands, and the light and shadow of the beads falling on the hairpin reflected on the lightly decorated face, swaying.

"Why?" Gao Zhiqi asked in a deep voice.

"The livelihood of the family..."

Gao Zhiqi looked up and turned his eyes, "Are you really Shang Qianshui, the young master of Shangshui Palace?"

"Yes..." Shang Qianshui was annoyed.

"Can you give me another reason?!" Gao Zhiqi was even more annoyed.

"What reason?" Shang Qianshui asked.

"One, why do you have to go to that kind of place to dance!"

"I……"

"Tell me, a reason other than the money, livelihood, fish farming, and water gates!"

"me……"

Feeling the slender body and shoulders trembling slightly in his hand, Gao Zhiqi sighed and softened his voice, "Qianshui, please tell me."

"Stop giving up, I..."

Heart throbbing, a pair of rouge lips, opened and closed, closed and opened again, almost want to say, but still unable to say.

Involuntarily, Gao Zhiqi gently pinched his clean jaw with his fingers, "Qian Shui..."

Suddenly, Shang Qianshui raised his head, and his pupils were as bright as water, and stars flashed, "Zhi Qi, I want to dance!"

"what?!"

As if he didn't hear clearly, Gao Zhiqi was stunned on the spot...

"Young master, we have arrived!"

At this time, Ah Bian's shout came from outside the carriage.

While Gao Zhiqi was still in a daze, Shang Qianshui broke free from the restraints of his hands, hugged the ball and jumped out of the carriage, completely ignoring him, rolled up his clothes and ran into the Qiangwei Building!

"Young master? Young master!" Ah wanted Ben to tell him where to pick him up on the return journey, but unexpectedly, his young master ran away as soon as he got off the carriage, and he couldn't turn back no matter how much he shouted.

Sitting in the carriage, Gao Zhiqi narrowed his eyes deeply as he watched Shang Qianshui's figure gradually disappearing into the blurred lights...

Qiangwei Building, also known as Maixiao Building, is located at the highest position in Zongqing Township, and it is also the most magnificent and magnificent singing and dancing building here.The whole high-rise building stands on the side of the mountain, facing the side of the Moon Lake, with golden tiles and red pillars, full of flowers, colorful decorations in the middle, high-hanging lights, and thousands of colors reflecting the jade of Yaotai, both inside and outside are magnificent.

The vast storeys are built along the hillside, and the base climbs up step by step. The towers are soaring, and the golden dome seems to have stretched straight into the clouds, giving people the illusion of "picking stars with hands".

Looking down, on the shimmering moon pool, there is a huge stage carved with water and jade. The stage is round, with a bend of jade white and a bend of water. The meaning of enlightenment.And when the color of the water gradually flows and the jade white is full, it means a full moon.In this way, the moon pool is the starry night sky, and the stage is illuminated by the water and blue as the moon, just like a scene of heaven on earth.The dancer's colorful clothes and yarns flutter and dance in the moonlight, as graceful as a fairy, and the artistic conception is endlessly romantic.

The decoration is luxurious and elegant, and the girls who are hospitable are all beautiful in appearance, not only pleasant in temperament, but also good at singing and dancing...

For a place like this, it must not be cheap...

Gao Zhiqi walked to Qiangwei Tower, and stopped for three quarters in front of the resplendent and resplendent gate.

Don't get me wrong, he was able to build a hundred sluice gates at the Nineteen Waterfalls in Penshan, and he didn't worry about paying the bills.On the contrary, he thinks that the Qiangwei Building should be a place that pays great attention to taste and style, and there are all distinguished guests who go in and out. Therefore, vulgar styles such as scattering money and ordering others will probably cause people to laugh, which is not good fiddling with...

Gao Zhiqi is thinking of a way, a way to get Shang Qianshui out of this place and bring him back...

It is a simple and brutal way to go in and grab people directly.

But a business place like this kind of singing and dancing house must have a lot of masters, and they will not let people play wild at will.Besides, he himself did not agree with this approach.

Another way... Go in and ask where Shang Qianshui is, and then find him out and drag him away?

It seemed okay to think about it, but Shang Qianshui said that he was working here, and he couldn't miss the show if he accepted the appointment.Then even if he finds the person, the steward here probably won't let him go casually... Well, no way.

Is there any way that can be safe and effective without losing elegance?

Gao Zhiqi propped his chin, paced back and forth in front of the gate of Qiangwei Building...

After walking for a long time, it will naturally attract others' attention.At this time, a young girl in the building saw him, so she came over and asked, "What's the matter with this young master?"

Gao Zhiqi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a beautiful girl standing beside him, smiling salutely at him.

"I heard the fairy song on the moon from afar, I hope I will be lucky enough to step into the sky and appreciate it carefully." As he said, Gao Zhiqi returned the girl's salute without losing his grace.

The girl turned her head, turned her eyes carefully around his face, and smiled with red lips, "The little girl's name is Nineteen Xiao, can you attract the sky and the moon for the young master?"

"Nineteen smiles?" Is there such a name?

The girl named Nineteen Smiles smiled at Gao Zhiqi, then turned around and picked up a small lantern, "Qiangwei Building has ten floors, each floor has a different view, and there are countless wing rooms, so the passages in the building are inevitable. It's complicated and changeable, please follow carefully, young master."

Gao Zhi saluted modestly, "Thank you for reminding me, miss."

"I didn't dare to ask the son's name." Nineteen Xiao walked in front, the lantern in his hand was shining brightly.

"I'm Gao Zhiqi." Gao Zhiqi followed Nineteen Xiao slowly, and found a beautiful rose tattooed on her left shoulder, which was faintly visible under the light gauze robe...

"... Gao Zhiqi?!"

Gao Zhiqi was thinking silently, when he suddenly heard Nineteen Xiao recite his name over and over in a solemn voice, he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Girl?"

Nineteen Xiao hurriedly unfolded a tracing paper fan to cover half of his face, then turned around and bowed to Gao Zhiqi to apologize, "Nineteen is impolite, please forgive me, Mr. Gao."

Gao Zhiqi paused for a moment, and said, "No problem, please get up, Miss."

Nineteen Smiles slowly raised his head, his eyes turned once again between Gao Zhiqi's brows, and continued to lead the way with a smile, "Yuetan is right here, Mr. Gao please."

"It's work."

Gao Zhiqi followed her with his hands behind his back, from the bustling golden hall, through elegant pavilions and pavilions.Along the way, there are secluded forests of flowers and trees, peacocks and nightingales, blue stones and flowing water, and groups of koi.Many young talents and beauties played in it, played the piano, sang songs, chatted and laughed, and had a feast of wine and feast together.

However, this is nothing unusual. What attracted Gao Zhiqi's attention was the long corridors built in mid-air to connect the floors...

The Qiangwei Tower stands on the mountain and extends straight up the hillside. Each floor has an independent foundation, so it is not like towers stacked on top of each other, but a bit like steps, layer after layer, separated in the mountains .As Nineteen Xiao said, there are ten floors.The towering and vast buildings, the ever-changing scenery, both inside and outside, are amazing and spectacular.

Because of this, there is no overlap and connection between the floors, and they are only connected by those elevated corridors in mid-air.What attracted Gao Zhiqi's attention was that the ground of those long corridors would turn!

"We call these 'Dengyun bridges', you don't need to use your legs and feet, you just need to step on it, and you can take you across another layer of sky clouds." Seeing Gao Zhiqi looking up at those long corridors, Nineteen smiled Carefully explained to him.

The place to watch Moon Lake happened to be on the second floor, so Nineteen Smiles led him to the entrance of one of the corridors, "Master Gao, would you like to try it yourself?"

"Does the girl know the inner mystery of this 'Dengyun Bridge'?" Standing on the floor that can move forward automatically, Gao Zhiqi found it interesting, so he asked again.

"It's a waterwheel."

"Water wheel?"

Nineteen Xiao raised the lantern lightly forward, and Gao Zhiqi looked in the direction she pointed, only to find several huge waterwheels built on both sides of each floor.There is a turbulent river on the mountain, and the scattered highlands make the water more violent. The waterfall hits the waterwheel and turns over, driving the shaft wheels connected to the structure to operate, thus allowing the square plates paved at the bottom of the promenade to rotate continuously.

This technology is quite similar to the irrigation device, but it is used more ingeniously and exquisitely!

Looking at the huge waterwheels that are slowly turning under the momentum of the water, Gao Zhiqi had some thoughts in his mind...

But at the same time, I noticed that these large waterwheels are somewhat similar to those built on the green lake of Shangshui Palace...

This place called 'Rose Tower' may hide some secrets.Gao Zhiqi touched the copper water ladle on his waist, followed Nineteen Xiao calmly, and continued walking through the majestic and elegant buildings.

"Master Gao, we have arrived." After walking through a corridor with nine curves and eighteen bends, Nineteen Smiles turned his head and smiled at Gao Zhi, "The Yun'an Pavilion here is the best place to watch Xianyue Terrace .”

Gao Zhiqi heard the words and looked around, and there was a sound of cheers coming from the front, and he saw people gathered on the vast terrace shaped like a sickle, applauding warmly towards the Moon Lake Xiantai, which seemed to be surrounded by his arms...

Over the fairy moon platform, fireworks have already been in full bloom. Dozens of dancers who look like celestial beings are dancing on the moon. Their sleeves are rolled up like clouds and their skirts are blooming like flowers. The gorgeous performance has attracted countless praises. voice.

Gao Zhiqi stood at a place with few people on the terrace, looked down, then turned around and took out a piece of silver, "Miss Xie cited..."

...? !

Gao Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, and found that Nineteen Xiao was no longer by his side.When did she leave, even Gao Zhiqi didn't notice...

Inexplicably, the rose flower tattooed on her shoulder flashed through her mind.Gao Zhiqi frowned lightly, but when he came back to his senses, he saw a middle-aged man dressed like a manager standing in front of him.

"Young Master, come here to admire the moon and watch the immortals?" asked the steward.

"Yes." Gao Zhiqi handed him the ingot of silver.

The manager received the silver ingot, and returned the gift with a smile, "If you are looking for a fairy, you can tell me."

"Oh?" Gao Zhiqiying raised his eyebrows.
