As Gu Qingsheng finished speaking, a loud noise came from the middle of the venue.
The sound of the hammer falling was so loud that the wind stopped for a while, and everyone paused for breath.
The sound of the stone slab hitting the ground was followed by a violent vibration from under his feet.
Bai Lu held Gu Qingsheng's arm to prevent her from being shocked, but she closed her eyes tightly.
There was a sound of gravel falling to the ground, and Bai Lu's hand on Gu Qingsheng's arm was gently patted, and Gu Qingsheng's somewhat amused voice came.
"It's over."
Only then did she dare to open one eye slightly, and when she saw that there was indeed no movement, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The stones on Zheng Xueyi's body had already cracked into countless pieces, and then all of them fell off her body.
Patting off the gravel on her body, Zheng Xueyi, dressed in red, spun very neatly, like a flying swallow in the sky, with light movements and a carefree expression.
"Dear fellow villagers, please support us, please support us."
She looks very dashing and has a hearty laugh. Perhaps because she grew up in a village, Zheng Xueyi's skin is not the snow-white type, but rather a healthy wheat color.
Her eyes were shining as brightly as in her previous life, and she walked around holding the broken bowl.
When it came to Gu Qingsheng, half of the copper coins were already in the bowl.
Taking the purse from Bai Lu, Gu Qingsheng threw one or two silver ingots into the bowl.
The silver ingot fell into the bowl, and the copper coins that fell into it sank. Zheng Xueyi was obviously a little stunned. She raised her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her who was covered tightly by the cloak.
"this……"
This was the first time she had seen someone so generous.
"Did you throw it wrong, girl? This is ten taels, not ten coins."
He took out the silver ingot from the bowl and handed it to Gu Qingsheng, but unexpectedly Gu Qingsheng pushed it back.
Gu Qingsheng's smile deepened under the cloak. He reached out and took off his cloak, revealing a fair and beautiful face.
"You didn't throw it wrong. This is for the girl."
"The young lady's skills have really opened my eyes. Besides, it's my first time meeting an old friend, and I miss him. Ten taels of silver is your reward for opening my eyes. As for the rest..."
She took out another silver note from her cloak and dropped it into Zheng Xueyi's bowl. Everyone around her took a deep breath, wondering where this generous girl came from.
"One hundred taels, can I go to the restaurant with you?"
The one hundred taels of silver in the bowl was still brand new. In front of this noble lady, Zheng Xueyi could only secretly smack her lips in amazement.
She turned around and looked at the man who had just swung the hammer. The two looked at each other for a while. Zheng Xueyi was still a little hesitant. Gu Qingsheng then said
"I'll wait for you in the private room on the second floor of the Hoenn Restaurant."
…
"Miss."
Bai Lu poured a glass of water for Gu Qingsheng and said worriedly
"Will that girl really come?"
"It will come."
Gu Qingsheng said.
She took a sip of tea and waited in no hurry, but Bai Lu was the one who was uneasy.
"How come I didn't know that the young lady knew such a remarkable woman? This girl looks like someone from the underworld. Is it really okay for us to establish a relationship with her..."
Gu Qingsheng naturally understood Bai Lu's worries.
The two grew up together. In Bai Lu's eyes, she was the type who never left the house. How could she possibly know Zheng Xueyi, who had been working hard outside since childhood?
But sometimes fate is so wonderful.
In her previous life, this woman never begged Chu Zhiyao for mercy until her death. She was cruel and fierce-willed, and treated herself the same way.
And on this long road, she needs it.
Such a person.
"There are some things I can't put into words, but this girl feels very familiar."
Gu Qingsheng smiled
"Who can say for sure what happened in the past life?"
"The young lady is becoming more and more weird."
Bai Lu muttered.
Then there was a slow knock on the door. The knock was very hesitant, and it took a long time before the second knock.
It seems to be coming.
"Come in."
After shouting outside the door, Zheng Xueyi hesitated and pushed the door open to come in.
She changed into a pure white dress, wore a long sword at her waist, and all her hair was tied up high. She felt cool from outside.
His brows were slightly furrowed and his face was serious. His cold aura was not inferior to that of some handsome men.
This appearance made Gu Qingsheng nostalgic even more. In her previous life, she had been dressed like this. She had caused a great chaos in the general's mansion, and her white clothes had been completely stained red with blood in the end.
At that time, Gu Qingsheng was already mentally dejected. He felt no fear as he watched those servants who usually treated him harshly being beheaded one by one.
On the contrary, some.
happy.
In her previous life, Zheng Xueyi was a free swallow.
In this life, can this swallow fly to my side?
Gu Qingsheng felt a little emotional and expectant about this.
"Miss Zheng, please sit down."
After looking around vigilantly and making sure there was no danger, Zheng Xueyi sat down opposite Gu Qingsheng and relaxed her brows slightly.
Without waiting for Gu Qingsheng to speak, she pushed the 100 taels of silver in her hand to Gu Qingsheng, clasped her hands together and said
"My name is Zheng Xueyi, a street performer."
"We went back and discussed it carefully. We really can't accept this banknote. We shouldn't accept gifts without merit. Or, is there anything the young lady would like to ask of us?"
Gu Qingsheng had expected this move, because she was wearing thin clothes in the room.
"Don't hesitate, Miss Zheng."
When Gu Qingsheng smiled, Zheng Xueyi was stunned. For some reason, a sudden surge of heat from her heart reached her face, and she suddenly blushed.
She quickly lowered her head, her eyes somewhat evasive.
It was probably because he had been shuttling between opera troupes and martial arts arenas for many years, and he had never seen anyone like Gu Qingsheng around him.
It feels like a white peony in the wind, so fragile that it can be blown down at any moment.
Because of Gu Qingsheng's smile, Zheng Xueyi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and her brain seemed to be buzzing.
"I asked you to come and talk to me this time because I really have something to discuss with you."
Not noticing Zheng Xueyi's changes, Gu Qingsheng continued
"My name is Qingsheng, my surname is Gu, and I came from the capital of Jinchu. I saw Miss Zheng on the street and noticed that she was very skilled in martial arts, so I have a small request. Remuneration is not a problem."
Zheng Xueyi waved her hand with an indifferent attitude.
In fact, she also guessed that Gu Qingsheng was from the capital, otherwise it would be rare to see such a noble person in such a place.
"Miss Gu, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what you want. We in the martial arts world are straightforward when it comes to matters."
"But the girl's name sounds familiar to me. Gu should be the national surname, right? Gu Qingsheng... Gu Qingsheng..."
As she was thinking, a clue suddenly popped up in her mind, and her tone suddenly became louder.
"Gu Qingsheng?!"
