wake up from dream

"Master, we have to get out of here quickly." Shumei ran into the house and packed the things.

"What's wrong? Shumei?"

"There is an outsider intrusion, Mei has already rushed over, master, we have to leave here quickly." Shumei packed up her bag and ran to the door with Ziqing.

"Who is it?" Ziqing got on the horse.Shumei followed Ziqing on the same horse.

"Your Majesty's man. Drive..." With a swipe of the whip, the belly horse immediately galloped up.

"I found them so quickly..." Rong Ruo hasn't shown up since we parted last month. I didn't expect Kangxi's people to show up first...

"Shu Mei, where are we going?" Zi Qing didn't know anything about this place, except that she followed Shu Mei to the edge of the desert, she didn't dare to go anywhere else.

"Let's go to Jimao Mountain Villa."

"Go to Lumao Villa? Is it safer there than here?" The poisonous ghost said that no one would come here, but now that Kangxi has found him, can Lumao Villa escape Kangxi's eyes and ears?

"Master, don't worry, there is a secret room in Jimao Villa." Shumei said.

"The secret room..."

"Miss Ziqing..." Suddenly a guard appeared behind him.

"Wang Ji?" Zi Qing heard Wang Ji's voice, turned her head and saw that there was only Wang Ji and a horse behind her, so she told Shumei to stop.

"Master, he belongs to the Tartar Emperor..." Shumei dared not stop her horse easily when she saw Wang Ji's bodyguard uniform.

"It's okay, he's my friend."

"Woo..." After hesitating for a while, Shumei still stopped her horse.

"Miss Ziqing." Wang Ji got off his horse and ran to Ziqing immediately.

"Wang Ji, why did you come here?" Ziqing asked, while Shumei pulled the horse aside to graze.

"Miss Ziqing... Please go back to the palace!" Wang Ji said.

"What did you say?"

"Please return the girl to the palace."

"Wang Ji, I thought you would help me leave..." Ziqing wanted to laugh, it turned out that Wang Ji didn't consider herself a friend at all, he was just Kangxi's bodyguard.

"Miss Ziqing, you won't get any benefits from going against the emperor." Wang Ji persuaded.

"Wang Ji, I thought we were friends. You once helped Rong Ruo and me. I thought you..."

"Wang Ji doesn't dare to talk to girls. Wang Ji is just a small bodyguard. Please come with me." Wang Ji made a gesture of invitation.

"Master, let Shumei handle it!" Shumei punched Wang Ji's face, and Wang Ji quickly avoided it.

"Girl, Wang Ji doesn't want to fight with the girl, please stop the girl, otherwise..." Wang Ji just defended without attacking.

"Otherwise what?" Shumei pulled out a soft sword from her waist and stabbed at Wang Ji, who blocked it with his hand.

"Shu Mei, Wang Ji, stop hitting..." Zi Qing didn't know martial arts, so she could only worry on the sidelines.

"Master." Chi suddenly appeared, grabbed Zi Qing's waist, and jumped on the horse.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"Returning to the master, when the subordinates saw outsiders in the small hut, they guessed that something might have happened to the master, so they rushed here."

"Is Shumei okay? Wang Ji's martial arts are very good..." Zi Qing is very conflicted now, and she doesn't know who to be careful of. Although Wang Ji is from Kangxi, he has helped her after all. What's the matter with him, and Shumei, although her martial arts skills are not bad, is inferior to Wang Ji...

"Master, don't worry, Shumei is very clever, and nothing will happen."

"Then Wang Ji..." Ziqing wanted to ask Wang Ji about it, but remembered that her current identity was already in opposition to Kangxi, and she was worried about Kangxi's people...

"Master and him are friends, our people will not kill, master can rest assured." Chi said.

"That's fine, thank you."

"This is what the subordinates should do." Chi didn't ask for credit, with a look of flattery.

"I not only want to thank you for saving me, but also thank you for not killing Wang Ji."

"The master is overthinking, the subordinate just happened to hear that he is the master's friend."

"Should we still go to Mao Mao Villa now?"

"I can't go, the Emperor Tartar's people already know our route, they may go to the Mao Mao Villa to ambush us." Chi said.

"Then where are we going?"

"Go there, although people and snakes are mixed there, but the Tartar Emperor will not go there to find people for the time being." Chi said.

"Ring? Isn't his place a brothel?"

"Yes, master, this subordinate hopes that master will endure it for a while, and wait until this subordinate finds a safer place..." Zi thought that Ziqing was unwilling to go to the brothel, but at this moment he could only make such an arrangement temporarily, so he was in the process of persuading her.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Ziqing was rather curious about this ancient brothel, and although she could be said to be on the run now, she did not view it with pessimism.

"Master, don't worry, Chi will find a place soon." Chi assured.

"It's okay, don't worry, if it's the safest place, I don't mind living there." Ziqing is not one of those women who followed "The Ring" in ancient times. She can quickly adapt to this unexpected situation, and she doesn't care What kind of place is there? Anyway, the clearer clears himself.

"Yes, Master. We'll be there in half an hour's journey." Chi speeded up.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. If it's safe, let's go buy another horse. Two people will ride one, and the horse will get tired soon." Zijing and Chi are sitting on the same horse, a little uncomfortable, after all He is a man, and he has a husband...

"Yes, master." Chi replied.

The two arrived at a small tea booth, sat down and rested for a while, then picked out a more docile horse for Ziqing, and the two continued on their way.

"Qi, why did you become a killer in the villa?" Zi Qing was curious about the identities of these people.

"Return to master, Chi was an orphan since childhood, it was the old master who saved Chi..."

"Old master?"

"The old master is the father of the previous master."

"Oh, what about the others? What about Lo?"

"Master, I'm not very clear about other people's affairs. The rules of the village are that you should not ask questions, especially about other people's affairs."

"Then you don't know anything about it?" Zi Qing didn't believe it. After all, if he had been in the villa since he was a child, he would have learned something.

"Qi knows something, if the master wants to know, he must have nothing to hide."

"What is Luo's status in the villa? I only know that he is the young master, but it should be..."

"It's true that Luo is the young master, because Luo is the grandson of Chen Yunxun."

"Chen Yunxun? Is he Chen Xue's grandfather?"

"Exactly." Chi nodded.

"Then what is his identity?" Ziqing was a little surprised when he saw Chen calling Chen Huixun by his name, why didn't he have a respectful title?

"Chen Yunxun is clearly the owner of the Zhumao Villa, but secretly he is the chief manager of the Zhumao Villa, and Luo is the deputy manager."

"It's actually like this? Does everyone in Jimao Villa know about it?"

"Part of it is known, some servants are not qualified to know." Chi said.

"Then Luo has great power? And what about Chen Xue? What is Chen Xue's identity?" Since Luo's identity is the deputy manager, is Chen Xue really just a killer?

"Chen Xue is not favored by Chen Yunxun, so Chen Yunxun only assigns her assassination or assassination missions. In the villa, she is just the granddaughter of the owner."

"Then your position is higher than that of Chen Yunxun?"

"We each manage our own affairs, and strictly speaking, we have the same rights."

"The same? That means they are the same size!" Ziqing said excitedly, only when she turned around did she realize that she is the biggest now, and she doesn't have to be afraid of that weird old man anymore.

Arriving in front of a very elegantly decorated small building, just as Zi Qing got off her horse, she saw a bustard coming towards her.

"Master, please come in." The bustard seemed no stranger to Zi Qing, and Zi Qing looked at Chi in doubt.

"Master, just now, my subordinates have already sent a signal to the bustard."

"Signal? What signal?"

"Eagle Head Signal."

"This eagle head?" Zi Qing raised the bracelet on her wrist.

"Yes."

Entering the building, because it was daytime, the building was very quiet, the old bustard saluted Ziqing.Then I started to introduce the situation in the building to Ziqing: roughly, this Qingxianglou is managed by Qingxianglou. Qingxianglou is the most famous brothel in the capital. There are three kinds of profits in the building, one is the performance of Qingxianglou , and then there is the accompanying wine service, just to accompany some customers in the lobby, chant poems, or other things, of course, these depend on the preferences of the customers, the last one is "butcher"...

"Master, there is a yard in the backyard of Qingxianglou that is the cleanest, please take a walk." After introducing the general situation of Qingxianglou, the old bustard pointed to a road leading to the backyard.

"Well, okay, I don't know how to call this 'mother'?" Ziqing asked.

"Master, just call my subordinate Jing." The bustard looked to be over 30 years old, with well-maintained skin, but Zi Qing was a little surprised to say such an elegant name.

"Jing should show Master your true face." Chi looked at Jing and said.

"Master, this is the real Jing." Jing took the mask on the bottom, and there was an extremely beautiful face hidden under the mask. The age shown on the mask was more than 30 years old, but Jing's real face was only 20 years old. Zuo Gu .

"You? So beautiful!" Zi Qing couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you, master, for the compliment. This is just a piece of skin." Hearing Zi Qing's compliment, she was calm and generous, as if she didn't care about her beautiful face.

"Qi, you wouldn't be the same..." Zi Qing saw Jing's face and asked Qi.

"Back to Master, Chi has no disguise."

"Yeah." Zi Qing nodded.Xiang Jing asked, "Why does Jing have to disguise herself?"

"This face is the source of disaster, Jing can't keep it..." Although Jing is very calm, there are still some fluctuations in her eyes, everyone has a past, or things that can't get over...

"I see, I'm sorry, it seems to remind you of something unhappy." Ziqing said embarrassedly seeing Jing's expression.

"My subordinates dare not."

"Master will live in Qingxiang Tower first, and let Jing make some face for the master later, it will be safer..." Chi said.

"okay, I get it."

After Jing left, Ziqing said to Qi: "Qi, please help me pass a message to Rong Ruo, tell him that I am safe, and let him not worry."

"Yes, Master."
