First love, he disturbs me and destroys the country

Chapter 15 Exploring the Incense Workshop

For several days in a row, there was no news from the Second Prince. He seemed to have forgotten that there was still a person waiting for him in the brothel. Madam Li didn't care about Liaojiang. Sihua, who was supposed to educate Liaojiang, stayed with a man all day. In and out, the unrestrained Liaojiang, with his cute face and Dafangjiaohan, mingles with everyone in Changzelou, occasionally acting coquettishly and making people laugh even more.

Gu Nian sneaked into the Changze Tower in the middle of the night for several days in a row, he was even more of a jerk than Liao Jiang, and lingered on Liao Jiang's bed without any self-respect.It's not that Liaojiang didn't want to poison him away, but as soon as Gu Nian wrapped the quilt and pressed him down, the familiar aura surrounded him and he was in a trance, but fell asleep after a while, and he didn't even know when Gu Nian left in the morning.

This evening, while walking to digest food, the wooden bone butterfly flew quietly and landed on Liaojiang's hand.Lu Qianqian didn't have much news recently. The last time we met each other when we separated was to inquire about the incense making workshop. I opened the belly of the wooden bone butterfly and saw that it really read "Zishi, Huajie West".

To the west of Huajie is the Changze Building. At that time, Lu Qianqian will come from the Yunlu Building in the east to meet, and then go to the incense making workshop in the suburbs.

In the depths of the night, there is a moon, which bends like a bow, occasionally covered by fog, and the night is dark.

In the room, a piece of rough paper was left with characters of the Dashi nationality, and a half-cup of warm tea pressed the note, splashing a little water.

A person pushed the door softly and came in with a food box in his hand. The room was dark, only the bean candles were lit by the table. The person took a closer look, his expression was gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as deep water.

"Going like this again." He said.

After finishing speaking, he took off his coat by himself, covered himself with a quilt that was still warm from someone, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

It is said that Liao Jiang disguised himself as a woman with a Sihua figure and hid in the Changze Tower in advance, and hid in a corner of the archway in a dark outfit, waiting for Lu Qianqian to arrive.

On the way, I saw Gu Nian get off the carriage outside the street, hurried on with the food box, looked around vigilantly, went around to the high wall of Changze Building, took a few steps to climb in by the soft ladder.

"Like being a thief." Liao Jiang sneered.

At midnight, before Lu Qianqian arrived, Liaojiang had already had a heated chat with a beggar. The beggar praised him while praising Boss Gu, a good man. Liaojiang listened with gusto.

He suddenly saw a person wearing a bamboo hat coming towards the archway, looking around from time to time as if looking for someone, and then looking at his walking posture, he knew it was Lu Qianqian.

The two seemed to have a feeling, Lu Qianqian walked forward, and Liaojiang casually ended the conversation with the beggar, walked away from the archway, and met Lu Qianqian face to face.

The two of them remained silent, and Lu Qianqian led Liao Jiang to the carriage that had been parked for a long time at the corner. The driver was a strong Taoist nun who pulled the reins, and the horse let out a long sigh before striding away.

Since the city of Yao is an imperial city, it is naturally heavily guarded. The walls are high and the guards are strict. Soldiers lined up are patrolling with weapons, and there is no leakage of water.

Lu Qianqian had already completed the proof of leaving the city, and as the owner of the Tianji Taoist Temple outside the city, he must return on the same day according to the regulations of the Qianguo.Two teams of red-clothed soldiers surrounded them, took the government short-term pass from the little Taoist nun who was driving the car, and opened the curtain to see that there were two people sitting inside. If they are different, they are allowed to go together.

After the carriage passed the city gate two miles away, the two people in the carriage took off their clothes and put them in the compartment cabinet, and then dressed up with masks and prepared hidden poison weapons.

The fragrance of water chestnut flowers came downwind from the front, mixed with the smell of blood.

The little nun who was driving the carriage detoured to the incense making workshop, parked the carriage to the west of the woods behind the incense making workshop, and put drugs on the horses to prevent the horses from neighing in fright.

The two quietly sneaked to the incense workshop, and the little Taoist nun left behind the big rock near the carriage to meet the two of them with the incense.

According to Lu Qianqian's eyeliner Yan'er, in order to prevent people from sneaking in, the incense making workshop only left one door at the front, two windows were also opened on the front side, and the back wall was built high, so no one was guarding it.

But there are four teams of guards pretending to be homeless and patrolling around the incense making workshop in turn. The only thing they have to do is to avoid the guards and turn up to Gaoqiang. They take the tile with the number 23 on the left and the number 35 on the bottom and lean in. There are three people below. An underground entrance guarded by elites.

At this time, as soon as the guards outside the incense making workshop left, the two people who were crouching in the weeds next to them stood up and swiftly passed through the undefended decorative fence. at the blade.Lu Qianqian took out the ladder from the package, held the front end with a telescopic rod, and hung it on the cornice.

With a light body, Lu Qianqian quickly climbed up the stairs to the room, while Liaojiang had good footwork, borrowed his strength a few times, and went up quietly without making a sound.

The two put away the ladder, half-kneeled and half-squatted. Lu Qianqian found a place and lifted a tile to reveal a crack. Looking with one eye, he saw three people sitting in the small room, chatting loosely, facing the roof. There was no response to the movement like falling leaves.

They were talking about the summer group arena when they suddenly smelled a faint strange fragrance, and were about to find the source, but their bodies went limp, their eyes closed tightly and they lost consciousness.

After a while, another patrol passed noisily below, and no one noticed two strange bumps on the roof.

The two of them held their breaths and leaned on the tiles. Seeing that no one came in to check the room, they jumped down lightly, and the soles of the soft shoes only bloomed dust in the air.

Lu Qianqian glanced at him, then lifted the cover, revealing a stone step.

The two went down the stairs and entered a closed room where sundries were piled up. It was ordinary, and there seemed to be no passage to enter.But Liao Jiang, who has clear eyes and sharp eyes, has already heard the sound of laughter and slapstick coming from behind the wall on the left.

Yan'er told Lu Qianqian in advance to tap twice on the big vat on the left side of the room entrance as a special signal between the two of them, so that Yan'er would know that it was Lu Qianqian who came.

After knocking twice, there was still no movement, but after a while, a door wide for two people opened on the left, and a delicate girl poked her head out, looked at Liaojiang in surprise, and said, "Sister Qianqian, come in." Well, the medicine has been prescribed."

Yan'er led the two of them in, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was slightly different from the one Lu Qianqian used outside. The few people who were having a good time were stunned, and they were indifferent even if strangers broke in.

Liao Jiang glanced at them, and one of them, like Feng Xianghong's uncle, had a long beard and long temples, curly and tufted, and was fully armed, but his cheeks were flushed from drinking, and his eyes were red and swollen.

Out of the instinct to be vigilant against the leader, Liao Jiang specially gave the man another kind of ecstasy that was more toxic, which could make him unconscious all night.

This is just a checkpoint, Yan'er whispered: "Once Boss Ji bragged and took me in to see it once. I only remember this route, and I don't know anything else. Niao'er usually takes care of them inside, and she should be in the middle of the road at this time." Waiting for you, let me watch over here."

The two walked through the long corridor and broke into a large space, full of tall iron cages and naked|naked women who were breathing weakly.

Every woman is lying on the bed in the cage. The younger ones look almost the same as Liaojiang's disguised oiran, and the older ones are already the age of Madame Li. Various containers, covered with scarlet.

In the huge space, only some girls were walking around to check on the situation of the woman, turning a deaf ear to the two people who suddenly appeared at the entrance, and doing things indifferently.

Lu Qianqian's eyes were reddened by the strong smell of blood, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was full of unbearable insults.

The girl closest to the two looked up at the two, bowed slightly, pointed to the left side of the two, and then stopped moving.

Lu Qianqian led Liao Jiang to the left, and said in a low voice, "She is Yan'er's older sister, she is dumb, she is not allowed to leave here, and I have never seen her before."

"Yan'er only told me that apart from the women whose blood was drawn to make incense, there is one more thing that Niao'er tried her best to not express, but said that if I came in, Niao'er would naturally take me to see it. "

Liao Jiang nodded and just followed her.He didn't express any opinion all the way, neither doubted Yan'er and Niao'er, nor questioned this clueless adventure.

There must be vents in this space, but the surface is so flawless that the vents are completely invisible.But the air vent must be the place with the strongest water chestnut smell on the surface. As long as there is a chance for him to get close to investigate carefully, he can determine the location of the air vent, and even use it as a passage to enter and exit at any time.

The two walked straight along the wall and passed two sharp corners, but after a while they saw Niao'er again.

Niao'er poured the medicine into the woman's mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth clean, exited the iron cage and locked it, put aside a large bunch of jingling key rings, approached the two of them lightly, and touched the wall in front of them Twisting slightly.

A strong smell pushed towards the two of them forcefully, Liao Jiang held his breath ahead of time, Lu Qianqian was rushed back two steps, widened his eyes and watched the wall slowly open, revealing the deep small room.

It was only wide enough for one person to enter, but it was enough. Niao'er went in first, motioned for the two to follow, and twisted the mechanism on the inside to close the door.

You can't see your fingers in the dark, and even Liaojiang, who has always been quick-sighted, can't help walking forward. The width of the corridor is no more than raising one's hand. The suffocation caused by the extremely closed space is uncomfortable.

Encountering this situation, Liao Jiang felt a little flustered, and his calm mood fluctuated a little. Fortunately, after turning a corner, a faint light flowed out.

"It's the Ye Mingzhu, Qianguo forcibly snatched it from a country in the southeast." Lu Qianqian said.

Liao Jiang had never seen this before, he was only curious, but he had no intention of observing them, and his attention was all attracted by the things in the pool.

It's all blood.

Viscous blood.

The large pool is filled with the blood of Dashi women.

Lu Qianqian said: "This is..."

Liao Jiangdao: "Fresh, no other medicinal materials have been added."

Niao'er nodded, took a luminous pearl from the wall, and held it up to shine on the wall. The words "Linghua scroll" and "Immortal" were written all over the place in a frivolous, scribbled manner.

The Pearl of the Night shined on the low table next to the blood pool again. There was a stroke, an inkstone, and a sticker. Liao Jiang took a closer look and found a secret method, that is, bathing in the blood of a Dashi woman can absorb the essence of every inch of skin and maintain a healthy posture. Young, when the essence is transformed into the internal organs, it can also rejuvenate and prolong life.

The fanatical words show the desire for immortality everywhere.

Liao Jiang thought for a while, the blood pool of this level is probably only enjoyed by the old emperor.

The old emperor of Qianguo attacked the Dashi clan in his teens. Now, a few years have passed, and it is already a twilight scene. I am afraid that he feels that the blood of the Dashi clan women is effective, and he is even more convinced. He is more and more addicted to this secret method, just waiting It can save itself from old age.

Niao'er took out another piece of letter paper from the wall, on which it actually recorded: "Linghuajuan, always in the left hand, don't forget."

"Is this written by the eunuch in Paoxuechi?" Lu Qianqian was furious, her tone very impulsive.

Liao Jiangdao: "I guess it's the emperor."

Lu Qianqian scolded the old man, seeing that Liaojiang was stunned and did not speak, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Liao Jiang said: "There is a group of people coming, immediately enter the corridor."

"The door opened and the emperor came in."

Niao'er knocked on his forehead, put the Ye Mingzhu back to its original position without haste, leaned over and turned the switch under the low table, an entrance the size of a person opened at the edge of the pool of blood, revealing the breath of wet grass,

Niao'er pointed at the dark hole, jumped up, and motioned for the two to jump down.

Lu Qianqian hugged himself without hesitation and jumped in. Liao Jiang didn't know whether Niao'er would stay or leave with the two of them, he just looked at her, and when she saw her wave her hand, she showed a shy smile and pointed to the hole to signal him to hurry up. go in.

Liao Jiang also laughed, stroked her dry hair, and jumped off.

The moment the cave door was closed, the emperor came in and seemed to see Niaoer, and asked in a weak voice, "Why are you here?" No one answered, and the emperor said to himself again: "Oh, your tongue was cut off. Lost."

Liao Jiang held his breath, braced his sides hard to prevent himself from slipping out, and listened carefully to the emperor's words.

"More blood needed."

"While drinking and soaking, you will live forever... Cough, everyone in the world says hello to the gods, I want to be a god..."

"The Linghua God..."

Gradually the sound weakened, as if it had entered a state of tortoise breathing.Seeing this, Niao'er left indifferently, and no one asked when he opened the cave door.

No one will care about their existence, they are just parasites in this place, they can crawl anywhere in this place, except for a small amount of food and water, they don't need anything else to keep doing things.Will not leave, and will not reveal the secret.

Lu Qianqian slid out of the hole and landed on the thick dry grass. Seeing a night pearl shining on it, she looked around and saw that there was a stone staircase directly in front of her. The space was narrow, but she turned around after a while. I turned a corner and didn't know what was ahead.The air here is salty and humid, but there is very little bloody smell, and Lu Qianqian's mind is clear.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Liaojiang hadn't come down yet, and didn't know what happened, Lu Qianqian was a little anxious, and called "Lingzi" in a low voice, and then heard the sound of sliding, Lu Qianqian gave way, and Liaojiang slipped lightly on the dry grass .

Liao Jiangdao: "Yiao'er is fine, the owner of the blood pool is the emperor, and he seems to be dying."

As soon as Liao Jiang said this, Lu Qianqian was furious and wanted to leave here urgently, so he said: "It seems that we can go out from here, but I don't know where to go."

Liao Jiang shrank his bones, his body became shorter, and he had to bend down to climb up the steps, and said: "It is probably a relatively hidden place, with woods or something."

Lu Qianqian was puzzled, but she was almost out of breath when she bent over, and she didn't have the energy to ask anything.

I don't want to talk about Jiang Dao: "I used to read the scriptures of tomb robbers, saying that the old craftsman who repaired the tomb would always leave a way for himself to escape. It is curved and long. For safety, there may be more than one fork in the road. In order to ensure that he will not be found when he goes out. , there is always something to cover up."

"This is the fork in the road." Liaojiang Road, avoiding the dull air, walked to the other side.

Lu Qianqian couldn't see, just followed the voice of Liaojiang Buzi, listening to him talking all the way, talking about some scripts he had read before, deducing the origin and development of Dashi women's blood making incense with her, and she was so angry Buzzing.

Changing the topic of chatting about Jiang, she talked about the matter with Gu Nian a few days ago, and she was very happy when she heard it again. She always felt that something good is coming for Lingzi of the Dashi clan, but she expressed doubts: "But if you get back with him, then blood..."

"With or without him, I will not leave blood."

Lu Qianqian didn't dare to ask more questions, and only answered some of Liao Jiang's emotional doubts based on experience.

The moment Lu Qianqian saw the twilight coming in, Lu Qianqian suddenly felt the warmth he had not seen for a long time.

Walking in the dark for a long time, once there is a faint light, it is very dazzling, and I can't wait to follow it immediately.

Finally following Liao Jiang out of the corridor, Lu Qianqian looked back at the dark corridor, feeling a sense of horror all over his body.She thought that Lingzi was not a talkative person, and he never greeted people with a smile, but Lingzi kept talking for a while to attract her attention, otherwise she would not know the fear coming from the darkness and something behind her. The feeling of strangeness will make her dare not be alone in the dark for a long time.

Liao Jiang cleared his hoarse voice, and said, "It really is in the woods."

Lu Qianqian looked, it really was!Not far away was the little Taoist nun who was looking around, her clothes had been changed into bunts, her hair was tied up high, neat and tidy.

Lu Qianqian whistled, and the little nun immediately looked over. Seeing that the two had come out safely, she didn't ask any more questions. She woke up the horse with the antidote, then sat in the driving seat, and waited for the two to get into the car.

The city gate opened at dawn, but Lu Qianqian had to go back before dawn, Liao Jiang didn't care, after all, he slept until the sun was up every day, and no one disturbed him.

From the bottom of the box, Lu Qianqian took out another certificate of signing a contract with the owner of the bank and two sets of clothes. Liaojiang was very good at dressing up, but it took a while for Lu Qianqian to see his ability in this area.

Slightly narrow and shrewd eyes, widened nose, short and thick neck with a heavy feeling of a businessman who has been in the mall for a long time. He always handles the changes in temperament from the details, so that people can look completely different at first glance. another person.

Sure enough, the defenders didn't notice anything, and let the two of them pass.

Liao Jiang sneaked back to Changze Building, and when he opened the door, he saw a person sitting upright on his bed. The food displayed on the table exuded a cold and inhuman fragrance, and a candle had drained beside him. There is no tear left.

"Why are you still here?" Liao Jiang asked.

Gu Nian remained silent.

Unexpectedly, Liao Jiang noticed that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he had to ask: "Then why don't you sleep?"

Gu Nian still didn't answer.

Liao Jiang washed his face and hands before going to light the candle next to him. He wanted to take a closer look at Gu Nian's expression, but he grabbed him, took off his coat, shoes and socks, and hugged him firmly.

The quilt was pushed back, but the person who was supposed to be sleeping sat there for an unknown how long, his body was tainted with the cold air of late spring and summer nights, and merged with the cold air brought by him when he came back.

But Gu Nian was hit by the scalding breath on his neck, Gu Nian still didn't speak, Liao Jiang was about to fall asleep in a daze, and heard a small choked sob: "The last time you didn't see me, you also left a note, and after four years There is no news."

Liao Jiang woke up startled: "I said I would come back the next day."

Gu Nian didn't move for a while, Liao Jiang struggled, but was hugged even tighter, the quilt was baked by Gu Nian's high body temperature, and it became as hot as breathing, Liao Jiang couldn't raise his hand to touch his forehead, so he had to test it out. : "Are you having a fever?"

Gu Nian still didn't answer, but a tear dripped down Liaojiang's neck along his cheek, and the warm temperature made him shiver.

This person, he, cried?
