Chapter 345: Bold and Monstrous! Thoughtful Harvest (5000-Word Chapter)

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the fallen leaves are flying.

On the long Yeming River, lanterns were lit one after another on the flower boats, and gorgeous women stood on the prows of the boats, waving their sleeve handkerchiefs to greet them.

Many scholars passed by, stopped and watched, yearning in their eyes, there is a gentle town, a bed in dreams, but after touching their sleeves, they were ashamed, so they could only hang their heads in despair, reluctant to leave.

Beside the river, in a corner restaurant.

The candles were dimly lit, and under the moonlight, there were only sporadic guests drinking poor wine, drunk with a pot of warm peach blossoms, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of fennel beans.

Most of the people who come here to drink are poor people, and most of the dishes that go with the wine are cheap and cheap. Occasionally, they order meat dishes, but most of them are offal, stir-fried with spirits.

"The Yeming River is really lively this night." Zhou Dao said calmly, looking at the brightly lit flower boats in the distance.

"Don't you have it there?" Long Ao poured a glass of wine, looking like a man could understand.

Zhou Dao thought about it for a while, his eyes showed reminiscence, and he couldn't help sighing: "There are also, but it's not like these girls who are so ostentatious with their handkerchiefs in their hands."

"Then what is it like in your place?" Long Ao was curious and couldn't help asking.

Aren't all the girls in the flower shop like this? Speaking of which, his mother was also born in the same way.

"The commander-in-chief probably hasn't heard of the love story between the woman carrying the box and the man wiping sweat." Zhou Dao smiled.

"The woman carrying the box? The man wiping sweat? What do you mean?" Long Ao was stunned, showing a puzzled expression.

"Our girls who work in this business all carry a box." Zhou Dao laughed.

He has not seen such a formation for a long time, and he found that if it is popularized here, it may be able to make the business of those flower boat brothels explode.

"Box? What box? What's it for?"

"It contains things that can make you happy." Zhou Dao had already laughed out loud. He supported the table, squinted his eyes and said, "And each girl has a number. If you like it, next time you come to report the number directly OK."

"Huh? What kind of rule is this?" Long Ao became more and more strange.

In his cognition, every hospitable girl will have a flower name, such as [Ruchun], [Jinbo], [Nairong], [Cripping Water] and so on.

In this way, it not only has a poetic and picturesque flavor, but also adds interest, and can be remembered by people, with a little more concern.

Long Ao had never heard of the number and name registration as Zhou Dao said.

"Hahaha, Commander Long is thirsty for knowledge." Zhou Dao looked at Long Ao's eyes and smiled immediately.

Long Ao waved his hand: "Curiosity, just curiosity."

"Where is the kind you are talking about?"

"Commander, do you like to be clean?" Zhou Dao suddenly asked something irrelevant.

"Huh?" Long Ao was startled, not understanding what he meant.

"What's the meaning?"

"Well... Hahaha, drink and drink." Zhou Dao raised his glass with a smile.

While speaking, Zhou Dao drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Looking at him, Long Ao suddenly seemed to come to his senses, and leaned in front of Zhou Dao, his eyes drifted to the flower boat in the distance.

"Did you move your mind and want to see the scenery inside the boat?"

There was an ambiguous expression on Long Ao's face: "I'm the host, do you want to go for a while?"

"No need, the old ancestor said it well, don't gamble when you are far away, and don't go whoring when you are near. This Lin'an Mansion is your immediate boss. If you want to inherit the position of city secretary in the future, you'd better check it out." Zhou Dao flipped Long Ao .

He didn't expect that the usually majestic general would have such a delicate side, which really appealed to him.

"You're right."

Long Ao nodded. If he wanted to inherit the position of Cheng Si, apart from his strength and qualifications, the Yu Yao Si also had a character assessment.

This [Genius Training Camp] at least one quota has been locked in Pingjiang City. Long Ao has made great contributions and will definitely receive a lot of rewards. At that time, he may be able to break through the realm and step into the Nine Transformations.

In this way, there is great hope for him to inherit the position of City Secretary.

At this time, don't ruin your reputation because of the section.

"There are still seven days, it's really long." Long Ao couldn't help sighing.

[Genius Training Camp] The longest game for assessment is seven days later.

After Jiang Yuan's assassination incident, Long Ao's nerves were a little tense, and he was afraid that something would happen again.

If such an eventuality really happened, then all his previous efforts would have been wasted.

"Don't worry, what trouble can happen in seven days?" Zhou Dao said confidently.

He imagined that there should be no second disciple as stupid as the Imperial Palace.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dao's gaze narrowed slightly.

These days, he has obtained information about the Imperial Palace from various parties, which is a giant comparable to the Demon Master.

Zhou Dao really did not expect that he would provoke such a terrifying existence invisibly.

But he wasn't worried either, the man was killed by Lord Yan and had nothing to do with him.

"What about Qi Hao?" Long Ao asked again.

For this little guy, he felt a lot of pain.

Unlike Jiang Yuan, Qi Hao's state is unknown and uncontrollable.

This is a trouble that can explode at any time.

Before tonight, he had already visited the posthouse in Blade's Edge City. Although Qiu Kuang's life was saved, he suffered almost irreversible injuries.

The right arm is completely useless, and it can't be connected at all. Even if it is connected, it is impossible to use the knife again.

In addition, his lower abdomen was also shocking, and his intestines were ripped out.

You know, he is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, even an adult master can't be so cruel.

Qi Hao on the competition stage today was like a lunatic, an evil ghost.

"Look at him, this kid should learn how to control the demon in his heart!" Zhou Dao whispered.

In his opinion, another personality hidden in Qihao's heart is a demon, only a mad and killing demon.

However, Zhou Dao was happy to see the results, and even hoped that Qi Hao could make it to the end and enter the [Genius Training Camp].

This is the whetstone he left for Jiang Yuan.

"I understand, I will take good care of him." Long Ao nodded.

Apart from looking at Qihao, he also had to guard against the people from Blade's Edge City coming to seek revenge. There was no other way, this kid was too ruthless, even he couldn't see it.

"Master, let's buy a bunch of flowers... let's buy a bunch of flowers..."

At this moment, a miserable pleading sound came from the side.

Zhou Dao looked sideways, and saw a woman in commoner clothes without makeup carrying a bamboo basket, selling pandan orchids in the basket along the table.

She has an ugly face, her hair covers her normal face, and the other half of her face has scars that seem to be burnt.

In addition, her body exudes a faint stench, even the fragrance of flowers is difficult to cover up.

"Where did the ugly woman come from, it's so fucking unlucky, get out."

Leading the table, a big man with a tuft of fur on his chest slammed the table and shouted sharply.

"It's really disgusting. If it's those thin-skinned and tender little girls on the flower boat, it's fine. They're things that dogs don't even look at. Why don't you get out of here?" Next to him, a man as thin as a monkey stroked his mustache and swiped in disgust. glanced.

"Come on, don't delay my business."

At this moment, the shopkeeper hurriedly came to drive away the stinky woman, and at the same time apologized to the carefree man and the skinny monkey man.

Carrying the bamboo basket, the stinking woman followed suit and left the wine shop in a state of embarrassment.

In the night, her figure appeared extremely lonely.

"Those women on the flower boat seem to be glamorous, and I don't know how many men have sought after them, but I'm afraid they will end up the same as this woman in the future." Looking at the back of the ugly woman, a trace of loneliness flashed in Long Ao's eyes.

Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat: "You mean...she used to be..."

"This kind of business is for youth. Once you get old and look bad, you will be abandoned by the ship owner. After working hard all your life, most of your savings have been exploited. There is no way to protect yourself." Long Ao shook his head and said softly.

The women on the flower boat, if they are lucky enough to be next to the rich man and become a concubine to fill in the house, even if they live a comfortable life, but because of their birth, they will be dwarfs everywhere, and even his children will bear a great shame. Can't hold my head up.

Those who are unlucky, old and decrepit, will be abandoned like dogs when no one patronizes them anymore. At that time, they will be like this ugly woman, with injuries all over their bodies, like rotten stinky maggots, Even if he died on the street, no one collected his body.

The so-called earning enough, you will wash your crotch with a golden basin, and find an honest man to marry with your savings. This is just an inspirational speech, a nonsense to coax those ignorant women into the sea.

The honest man didn't dig her ancestral grave, so why should he pick her crotch... no, her plate.

"Let's go!"

Long Ao suddenly lost interest and dropped a few taels of silver.

Zhou Dao remained silent, he knew that the ugly woman might have brought back the sad past of Long Ao.

At the beginning, his mother was a flower boat woman, but after she broke him, she was kicked out of Pingjiang City by Longmen.

After Long Ao's mother gave birth to Long Ao, she took him to wander around. How much strength can a weak woman have? Finally, he became sick from overwork and died with endless regret.

Therefore, for a long time, even if the old man Longmen mediated, Long Ao's knot with Longmen has never been resolved.

Zhou Dao got up and returned to the New Moon Courtyard with Long Ao.

When passing by Weiyang Street, Zhou Dao stopped subconsciously, he suddenly remembered the bun shop in the morning.

At this time, Weiyang Street was still extremely lively, many vendors were surrounded by people, and the hot pot gas rose like white silk.

At the corner of the street, the bun shop was still open, and a white lantern was waiting in front of the door, extremely dim.

It was deserted and deserted, not even half of the customers, which was in stark contrast to the bustling noodle shop next door.

"It's really weird." Zhou Dao muttered.

"What are you looking at?" Long Ao asked Zhoudao, following his gaze.

"Nothing, let's go."

Zhou Dao shook his head, looked away, and walked towards the New Moon Courtyard without stopping.

Back at Xinyue Bieyuan, Jiang Yuan and the others had already fallen asleep.

Zhou Dao bid farewell to Long Ao and returned to his courtyard.

Three people from Pingjiang City entered the final finals, and their treatment was improved accordingly, and each of them was assigned to a small courtyard, which was quiet and quiet, and the environment was extremely elegant.

In Lin'an Mansion, if you want to live in this kind of courtyard, you don't have a net worth of hundreds of thousands of taels, so you have no qualifications at all.

"I really should bring Xiaoyi here to see it." Zhou Dao thought of the flower boat on the Yeming River just now, and the figure of Wang Xiaoyi appeared in his mind.

It has been a while since he left Pingjiang City, and he doesn't know what happened to them.

Wang Xuanzhi, Ma Yinglong, Wang Xiaoyi, Lin Liuli... By the way, there is also Uncle Xu who was playing watch.

"Go back when things here are over." Zhou Dao sighed lightly.

"The night is long, why does the young master sigh alone?"

At this moment, a soft voice came, and it was melodious, like a lark in an empty valley.

Zhou Dao looked up, and outside the gate of the courtyard, a woman in a white dress stood tall, her fair skin was even more delicate under the moonlight, her red lips were lightly parted, revealing a soft light, and her eyes rolled, which made people feel heartbroken. trembling.

There are only a handful of such stunning beauties in Pingjiang City, and even those wealthy daughters pale in comparison.

"Who are you?" Zhou Dao asked.

The woman in white raised her green hands like green onions, pushed the door open and walked in: "Young master is so rude, you don't even invite others to come in and sit down."

"I didn't invite you, didn't you come in anyway?"

"..."

"On the banks of the Yeming River just now, my family saw that the young master's appearance is extraordinary, so I couldn't help but follow me..." the woman in white said shyly.

"Ye Minghe...you are selling..." Zhou Dao's voice came to an abrupt end.

When the woman in white heard the words, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, like a wounded little white rabbit.

"Young master won't despise the slave family!?"

"A bit disgusting!" Zhou Dao nodded.

"..."

"My lord, don't misunderstand me. I have no other delusions. I just want to say a few words to my lord..."

The pear blossoms of the woman in white were raining, her slender fingers landed on Zhou Dao's chest, and she leaned closer like a willow in the wind.

Warm and fragrant nephrite, tangy and intoxicating, the soft touch spreads along the body.

"The girl is really amazing..." Zhou Dao narrowed his eyes and said.

The woman in white giggled and said, "Master, you can joke, what's so great about the slave family? You haven't seen how powerful the slave family is!"

The words are erratic and tactful, revealing a trace of frivolity and provocation.

"Of course the girl is amazing, she can steal the day and change the day in front of me, and pretend to be a fish."

"Bold and monstrous, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"

Zhou Dao yelled violently, turned his face suddenly, his voice was like thunder, and it rang in his ears.

The woman in white suddenly changed color, her figure flickered, and turned into a cloud of smoke, rising away.

"Hehe...Young Master's methods are really powerful. I learned the lesson today, and I will come to ask for my advice in the future."

The voice of the woman in white was mocking and confident.

Now she is just a divine soul, although she can't match the human being in front of her, but if she wants to leave, no one can stop her.

She still has this confidence.

hum...

The white smoke was misty, and flew away from the yard in a blink of an eye, escaping a distance of ten feet.

"Want to leave? Delusion!"

Zhou Dao yelled violently, using the skills of "Xiao Lei Yuan Jing".

His soul trembled violently, like thunder rolling in the sky, and the invisible power flickered like thunder, shaking the world.

The spirit of the woman in white trembled suddenly, revealing an emotion of incomparable fear.

The cultivation of the human being in front of her was far beyond her imagination.

"This is impossible……"

Before the words fell, there seemed to be thunder and lightning in the void, which completely wiped out the spirit of the woman in white in the blink of an eye.

"What a stupid little monster." Zhou Dao's eyes lit up and he walked out of the yard.

He knew that the real body of the woman in white was nearby, but he wanted to see what kind of monster it was, so he came to him on his own initiative.

...

At this moment, by the side of Yeming Lake, the dim wine shop is closed again.

Tables and chairs fell to the ground in a haphazard manner, the pungent bloody smell permeated the surroundings, and corpses fell in pools of blood.

A woman in black bowed down and looked at the big man with heart-protecting hair in front of her. His head had long since disappeared.

"Mistress, Xiaobai has missed."

"Tsk tsk, I underestimated the strength of those two monks. It seems that the commander of the demon master is more powerful than I imagined."

A cold voice sounded in the wine shop.

On the table, the head of the heart-protecting man hung high, was grabbed by a skinny hand, and stuffed into the mouth, the blood between the lips and teeth was like a watermelon.

"It stinks!"

The ugly woman wiped the corners of her mouth and discarded the head casually.
