Chapter 169
Chapter 169
Ji Zong didn't know how big waves his actions caused, he only knew that Yueguangyuan's sudden actions played a role in fueling the flames.Ji Zong was drinking hot tea leisurely in the Jiyi Hall, and the inside of Da'ao was a mess.However, she has a lot to do.
"How is the investigation going?" Ji Zong asked Saburo Zuo.
San Langzuo obviously paused, Ji Zong put down the teacup, and lightly brushed his finger across the rim of the cup, "Why? Difficult?"
San Langzuo came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head, "No, Zong Chun's whereabouts have been found out, and her whereabouts in Edo is not a secret."
Ji Zong raised his eyebrows, glanced at San Langzuo's expression, and didn't ask any more questions.
"Keep an eye on her, I will be useful when the time comes."
San Langzuo glanced at Ji Zong, lowered his eyes, "Well, I'll give orders to go down, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
Ji Zong glanced at the back of San Langzuo who quickly disappeared, and thought, there must be something wrong!San Langzuo had something bad to say to her, so he ran away passively, otherwise, he would have to wait until she wanted to go to bed.Ji Zong withdrew his gaze and turned the empty cup in his hand. What she was thinking about now was how to get Yueguangyuan to stand by her side.When we met today, she adjusted the plan.Tianying Institute will definitely come back to find her, because she has no other candidates.Jianbu Quanfang was originally the opposite, but after today, it is not absolute anymore.Although Ji Zong didn't intend to close all the rooms, if there was less resistance, why not do it.The relationship between Yueguangyuan and Jianbuquanfang is not as indestructible as rumored outside.So, where is their point of difference?And what does Moonlight Academy really want?
San Langzuo came out of the tea room, stopped in a place where he avoided people, and patted his chest.Zongchun has been in Edo for the past two years, and he settled in one place, Yoshihara, Yoshihara Takashimaya.As for why he didn't tell Ji Zong just now, it was because Zong Chun was obsessed with Takashimaya's Taifu Qinglu, who was a rising star after Takahashi.He didn't know what was going on between Ji Zong and Axiu, but according to Ji Zong's nostalgic situation, this matter was not good news but bad news.
In his opinion, this can be used, but if he told Ji Zong, the situation might not necessarily be the same. Sometimes, he could also feel Ji Zong's hesitation and melancholy, especially when it comes to human life.
San Langzuo was gearing up in the corner, thinking that this was something he should solve for Ji Zong, but at this time, he felt embarrassed and depressed.At this time, he missed A Yuan very much. If A Yuan was here, she would have solved this matter perfectly.However, he had experienced it himself before he knew how uncomfortable it is to be a villain.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a person called out to San Langzuo.San Langzuo suddenly turned his head, looked at Arima who was not far away from him, and thought to himself, this person is not weak in skill, she walked so close, and he didn't pay attention.
San Langzuo thought about it, and said the matter.Arima thought for a while, and said, "I know Axiu, if you don't worry about this matter, leave it to me."
San Langzuo looked at her in surprise, Arima pressed the corners of his lips, and explained, "Master knew Osode when he came to Edo for the first time. At that time, he lived in the same longhouse as a neighbor's child. He was very sensible." Well, the master may have some sympathy for him. I know what you are worried about. It is just that the master knows that we will use the friendship between the master and the master to hurt the master's heart and her face. However, it is up to the master to agree to help In other words, even if he agrees to help, it is not a big deal. In my opinion, it is nothing more than success or failure. If it is done, if the master is happy, it will be a reward, and if he is not happy, it will be a punishment. The errand is done , How the master judges is the master's business."
San Langzuo never knew that Arima was such a talkative person. He was surprised by Arima's transparency and rationality. After thinking about it, he actually had selfish intentions.To put it bluntly, he just cared about what Ji Zong thought of him, and was afraid that if he did evil, he would be looked down upon by Ji Zong.Arima actually knew it too, but he didn't say anything.
After thinking about it for a long time, Sanlang Zuo opened his eyes, and said to Arima, "I'd better go with you, you know Axiu, so I can talk about it, but I should have done this job."
Arima looked at Sanlang Zuo, didn't say much, just nodded.
Yoshihara・Takashimaya
Zong Chun suffered a loss in Da Ao Li, and he was obviously in a bad mood, but this person is not a bastard, and she can't do things like throwing temper tantrums at people.She thinks that she is an elegant person first, which can be seen from her usual travels and dress.
"My lord." The sliding door was pushed open from the outside, and Qinglu, who used to be Axiu, stood at the door and made a face, and shouted softly.Taifu is a profession, and it is also the top of a profession. Naturally, it has its standards and rules.Qinglu's kungfu in the past few years has completely shed her childishness, her words and deeds, her eyebrows and eyes are very different, like polished jade, not only delicate and round, but also graceful in shape.Qinglu's original appearance was very good, but after being polished, it turned out to be very full, like a strange flower blooming at the cost of life.It has to be said that Takashimaya is a leader in Yoshiwara, and there is a reason.Axiu's temperament was originally cold, but after Takashimaya took over, he did not make him gaudy, but emphasized this point.The effect is really good, people always feel that the best is what they can't get, and the more difficult to conquer, the more they want to conquer.
At this moment, Qinglu turned half of her body, her upper body leaned back slightly, half of her face turned to Zong Chun, her eyebrows were lowered pleasing to the eye, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, as if she was holding back something.The exaggerated clothing, the sleeves and belt that hang down to highlight the graceful lines of his figure, according to his standing posture, make people present a kind of morbid and enchanting beauty, just like those over-built trees in the island garden.
"Qinglu, you're here, come and sit." Zong Chun, who was still stern and gloomy a moment ago, saw Qinglu, his eyes lit up, his whole body lit up, and he took a photo happily Take a picture of the location next to you.Qinglu nodded slightly, as a salute, moved over step by step, raised her toes, lightly lifted the trousers under her feet, flicked her sleeves and retracted them, her eyebrows and eyes were always drooping.Zong Chun enjoyed this kind of posture very much. She felt that this was beauty, and Qinglu carried this cumbersome form of beauty to the extreme.
Qinglu knelt beside Zong Chun, her face was not facing her, and she poured a glass of wine for her sideways.Looking at his cold face, Zong Chun felt ironed all over, and even the wine became sweeter.When she first saw Qinglu, he looked like this. Back then, she just wanted to see a newcomer, but Qinglu ignored him and even made a mockery of him.At that time, Qinglu had a cold face, her eyes were even a little arrogant, and she left with a flick of her sleeves.At that moment, Zong Chun felt her heart was about to jump out, and she was deeply infatuated with Qinglu.Later, she was bought with a lot of money and with great fanfare, so she combed Qinglu.Even just looking at him, I feel happy, wishing to take it home, hide it, and watch it all the time.She was even reluctant to add any strokes to her clear and jade-like skin.It seems that no matter what the tattoo is, it is not worthy of him, it is defiled by him.He is so beautiful now.
The two of them got along so strangely, Zong Chun looked at Qinglu eagerly, Qinglu half sideways supported her in a lukewarm manner.
"Teacher, please change your clothes." A voice came from outside, which reminded Qinglu that it was time to change.Qinglu saluted slightly, looked at Zong Chun stretching out his hand to help him, hesitated a little, and put it on it lightly, Zong Chun felt the numbness spread quickly from the place he touched to his whole body.
Qing showed his room, and followed his "Fantou Xinzao" back to his room to freshen up and change clothes.This Fantou Xinzao is also an acquaintance, the "Fantou Xinzao" of the family when Axiu first fell into trouble.When Osode came to Takashimaya, this person also came.
Taifu's specifications are not ordinary, and his configuration is good, not to mention that he has a big gold master, Zong Chun, who is very particular about basic necessities of life, so he has been groomed more carefully.Simply scrub, put on new clothes, and recomb the hair.If you want to talk about why some people still like to come to Yoshihara even though they have a man at home, it may be because the men in Yoshihara are better at grooming themselves and showing their beautiful side.Most of the men in the family lost this meticulousness.
White shirt on the outside and yellow on the inside, blue clothes on the outside, delicate eye ends painted purple, Qinglu stood on a platform half a meter high, letting his boss tuck his belt for him, and he seemed like a lifeless puppet.Fantou wrapped his waist around his waist and rolled up his belt layer by layer. When he got close to him, he whispered, "Did you really promise those two people?"
Qinglu seemed not to hear, eyes closed, arms outstretched, letting others do what they want.Fantou didn't look angry, and continued to roll up his belt. For the sake of looking good, the belt was much wider than normal belts. It was as wide as a man's forearm, and the length was a full three meters. Rolled up layer by layer, covering the middle of the person. Stretched, a bit like European corsets.It's just that people are wrapped into vases, and island countries are wrapped into buckets. There is only a difference in aesthetics.
"You have to think about it, I think this lord likes you very much, and it is very likely that he will take you out of Yoshihara." Fantou whispered again, let alone outside, the volume can be heard from a little farther away It's not clear what he said.What's more, both of them have a cold face and a lack of expression.
This time, Qinglu responded. He smiled mockingly, closed his eyes and said, "Why, do you think it's a good choice to marry someone as a concubine or concubine? Why don't I know, you The requirements are so low. If so, why are you still staying in Yoshihara?"
Qinglu's words made Fantou stop, and looked at him in surprise. For several years, although the two of them got along day and night, they had never talked so deeply.Fantou was shocked by the resentment, anger and disdain in Qinglu's words.
Qinglu looked at Fantou's aged but still delicate face, and asked coldly, "Why, with your appearance and skills, no rich businessman or warrior would marry you home?"
Severe pain flashed in Fantou's eyes, Qinglu was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly. "That's enough." He fastened his belt, stepped off the stage gently, and walked out with his clothes on instead of looking at Fantou.
Fantou's voice was a little hoarse, and said, "The most stupid thing about people is to talk about feelings when they should use their brains, and use their brains when they should talk about feelings. You underestimate your identity, don't do stupid things."
Qinglu made a signature gesture, and asked frivolously, "What is my identity? It's just a thing. Now people are willing to hold it, and I'm a husband. When I get old one day, maybe I'm not as good as you, and I can't get along with you." A fan, I can only go to Zhanjie!"
Fantou asked himself that after going through the storm, he would never be moved by it again, but every word and every sentence of Qinglu's words pierced his heart, and even breathing became painful.
"No matter how expensive the clothes I wear and how thick they are packed, I can only go barefoot. This is my identity, and I don't even have the right to wear foot bags." Qinglu didn't intend to let it go, and continued to utter bad words, He looked at Fantou's attire. If he never retires for a day, the men in Yoshiwara can't wear foot bags for a day. This seems to be a brand.Summer is fine, but on a winter day like today, with snow all over the sky, but there is a man wearing wooden clogs with bare feet, then he must be in a special industry.
Once, Axiu was so afraid of the cold that she wanted to cover her eyes.But now, he has become Qinglu, and he can survive winter after winter barefoot. Human potential is infinite.
Fantou suppressed the turbulent emotions, and asked in a low voice, "Since you care about that person so much, why didn't you leave when she wanted to take you away? Now, you want to give up your life to help her."
Qinglu finally stood up straight, looked at Fantou, lowered her eyes, raised her eyes after a while, and said coldly, "I also want to see what's so good about this Yoshihara that it makes people linger so much. To be able to leave home and career, regardless of everything Come in." After speaking, he didn't want to stay any longer, turned around and went out the door.
Fantou clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, but he didn't shed a single tear.
Da Ori, Chuanfang was looking at Yueguangyuan in disbelief, there was a bamboo curtain between them, but based on their familiarity with each other, they might be sure that the person behind the curtain was Yueguangyuan.But why can't I understand what he is saying now?
"You mean, let me support Jizong?"
Yueguangyuan twisted the beads and said clearly, "I don't care what you do, I support Jizong."
"Don't you know that the person I pre-ordered is Zongchun from Owari?"
Yueguangyuan heard the words and snorted coldly, "Hmph, that person is not the Owari feudal lord yet, let's deal with his step-friends first. Besides, if that heartless person really makes her a general, he won't even know if he dies." How did you die?"
Mabu Quanfang's face froze, it was true.
"Besides, I don't care who you support and how you support it. If my people and forces want to support Ji Zong, you can figure it out."
Jianbu Jianfang looked at the bamboo curtain, and the figure of Yueguangyuan was vaguely behind the bamboo curtain, "Are you going to break up the team? Ah Hui, you are crazy. The two of us have long been unclear. Now you say that, what do you mean? What's yours and mine!"
"Oh, I don't know when I became one with the adults. I am me, and you are you. We neither live nor die together. If you die, I will live well!"
Jianbu Quanfang felt it was funny and angry, "Ahui, stop making trouble, do you think this is a family wine? You can do whatever you want? Ji Zong is a promising person in Tianying Academy, so you should support her too, won't you?" I'm with Tianying Academy."
Yueguangyuan laughed softly, "He supports his, and I support mine. Besides, Tianyingyuan and I are originally on the same team. Aren't we all men of family propaganda?"
Jianbu Fangfang frowned, "Ahui, you blame me, are you taking revenge on me?"
With a swish, Yueguangyuan got up from the high platform and tore off the curtain, his expression was calm, but the veins in his hand holding the curtain were exposed.
"No, I don't hate you, I don't blame you, I hate myself!"
Jianbu Jianfang also stood up and said, "I don't want Guosong's death either, you have to believe me, I hope she lives well more than anyone else."
"I don't blame her for dying, I only blame, I only blame why she died after committing so many crimes! The seven-year-old child only lost a handful of bones in the end. Why didn't I think that it is right to be alive? Her greatest torture! However, I was so obsessed that I let her live and didn't even go to see her!"
After hearing this, Jianbu Fangfang trembled in her heart. She softened her voice and coaxed Yueguangyuan as usual, "Ahui, Guosong is dead, but we are still alive, and we still have to make plans for the future. Besides, Ji Zong What does it have to do with Guo Song's death?"
Yueguangyuan slammed the curtain on the ground, and breathed evenly, not as violently as before.
"Guopong is dead, I am alive, but we have no future! Your future is yours, and mine is mine. This matter about Ji Zong is my plan for my own future!"
Jianbu Fangfang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you really want to tear yourself apart, don't you? Even if we have no future! You don't care, and I don't care too much! But, in terms of benefits, I occupy a high position, what harm is there to you .You treat us as a relationship of interests, what can Ji Zong promise you, but I can't?!"
Yueguangyuan suddenly laughed, Jianbu Quanfang is not stupid, he knew that Jizong had promised him something, but he smoothed his clothes, walked back to the high platform, and said
"No, you can't give me what she promised me."
Jianbu Quanfang clenched his fists and said, "If you don't tell me, how do you know that I can't give it to you? Besides, Ji Zong is still far away from the position of the general. It's not certain whether she can sit on it alive."
Yueguangyuan suddenly fell into a sedation, unlike the excited Jianbu Quanfang in the same space.
"I can wait."
"You! You!" Jianbu Quanfang trembled with anger, she was bright in front of people, but she always lost her disguise in front of Yueguangyuan. "Okay! Let me see what you want to do!"
With a flick of his sleeves, Chuanfang strode out of the room.
Yueguangyuan looked at the bamboo curtain he had torn off and the empty room, and suddenly smiled.What he is best at is gambling and waiting. He has gambled all his life and waited his whole life. He doesn't mind betting again, just keep betting and waiting.
That night, Tianyingyuan and Jianbu Quanfang respectively handed over olive branches to Jizong, and invited Jizong to settle in the imperial city, promising to help each other.But Ji Zong once again refused the invitation of the two of them.
The author has something to say: Huh, I'm so hung up, I'll close the little black room~
