Chapter 243 A rude kidnapping [Thanks to the leader of "Xinghen Yingshang"]
Little Leo, you have high aspirations.
I want to learn to ascend to the sky like a swordsman.
I don't wake up until the sun is high in the sky, and I am happy in my dreams every day! Bang!
…
It is said that the night passed peacefully in Liu's house.
The next morning, Li Chu returned to Deyun Temple. As for Lao Du, he was asked to stay at Liu's house to take care of her. At night, when Mrs. Liu was about to fall asleep, Li Chu came to guard her.
After all, the Liu family's affairs were just a side quest for him, and the main quest of coming to Shenluo City [Rescuing Guo Xiaobao] had not made any substantial progress.
Under the double pressure from Madam Yang of Zuan and Master Yu Qian'an, it was impossible for Li Chu not to take this matter to heart.
Today, he plans to advance the progress of the task.
Destination: [Youlanxuan].
Target person: [Wei Jiangli].
…
The brothel business has always been a place of revelry every night.
The only people who come to the brothel in the morning are usually wives who want to catch their husbands and cleaners.
The nature is similar, just taking away the garbage.
If you come here early in the morning and say you want to find a girl, you'd be lucky not to be kicked out, let alone meet her.
Especially since she is the most precious courtesan in the building.
but.
When Li Chu arrived at Youlan Pavilion and asked to meet Miss Jiangli, the waiters who informed him hesitated.
The two girls downstairs looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
Miss Jiangli had a performance last night and went to bed very late. She is always very irritable when she wakes up. If I wake her up now, I might make her angry.
But now this little Taoist priest came to...
Put yourself in other people's shoes.
If he were driven away, any woman would probably be furious, right?
Seeing them hesitating, Li Chu asked, "Is Miss Jiangli busy? Then I..."
“Eh——”
The young girl hurriedly called him and said, "I will go and ask Miss Jiangli's personal maid. Please wait a moment, young Taoist priest."
"Thank you." Li Chu nodded slightly.
Soon, the little girl came down with a maid who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.
As soon as the maid came down, she said with a smile: "The young lady said that from now on, as long as the guests meet the three conditions of being surnamed Li, being a Taoist priest, and being handsome... no one will be stopped and they will be notified at any time."
After that, she looked at Li Chu again and said, "Master Li, please follow me. The young lady just got up and is still dressing up."
"OK."
Li Chu politely followed her upstairs and came to the outer room of Miss Jiangli's boudoir to wait for a while.
The maidservant lowered her voice and asked, "Master Li, what do you want to do by coming to see my girl?"
Li Chu said in a gentle voice: "I came here to kidnap her."
"Clam?"
The maid's smile froze for a moment, then blossomed again, "Master Xiao Li, you really know how to joke."
As she said that, she walked into the inner room with a smile to see the progress of Miss Jiang Li.
Li Chu frowned.
Why do I vaguely feel that I am being despised?
Soon, the head maid came out and invited him in.
Wei Jiangli's boudoir looks very similar to her own temperament, with the colors mainly light blue and white, giving people a cool and cool feeling as soon as they enter.
She herself was kneeling quietly on the warm couch in front of the screen, with her long hair draped over her side and light makeup. In front of her was a table with teacups and a kettle on it.
After Li Chu entered the room, Miss Jiang Li raised her hand and invited him to sit opposite her.
The morning light is shining, the beauty is just waking up, some hazy mist is lingering outside the window, the atmosphere is quiet and ambiguous.
So Li Chu spoke his first line.
"Please forgive me for disturbing you, Miss Jiangli."
"Don't bother."
Wei Jiangli lifted the hair beside his ear, revealing one side of his earlobe.
"I've been wanting to get up early lately, but I've always been a little lazy. Thanks to Taoist Xiao Li for coming and helping me get off to a good start."
The atmosphere is very harmonious.
Li Chu nodded slightly, and then said the second line,
"I came here this time to ask Miss Jiangli to come with me."
"Okay." Wei Jiangli agreed without hesitation.
"Well..." Li Chu hesitated and explained: "I don't mean the kind of friendly departure, but... kidnapping."
"Kidnapped?"
Miss Jiangli's eyes showed a trace of confusion, shyness, and eagerness, "So Taoist Priest Xiao Li... likes this kind of tune?"
Li Chu felt that her eyes seemed strange.
I guess she must have entered the wrong channel.
So he added: "It was a very vicious and brutal kidnapping."
"oh……"
Wei Jiangli nodded, not quite understanding.
Li Chu continued to ask, "Are you willing to leave with me? I may use some coercive means to deprive you of your personal freedom and temporarily imprison you somewhere. No matter how much you cry, struggle, or beg, I will never let you escape in order to achieve some unknown purpose."
After a while.
Miss Jiangli bit her lower lip gently with her snow-white teeth, grasped her clothes with both hands, her eyes trembled, and she said slowly but firmly: "I do."
…
It was noon.
Wei Jiangli's maid was pacing outside the door, looking a little anxious.
"No matter how handsome this young Taoist priest is, I have only seen him three or two times, so I can't..."
"Although the girl is not at a disadvantage...but the girl is going to strive for the top scholar in the Flower Country this year. If this matter gets out, it will definitely affect her future..."
"And if that Taoist priest is a good person, then it's fine... But if he is a scumbag, then... Then... Then do I have a chance..."
As she thought about it, the maid's face turned red.
She quickly shook her head to get rid of those unrealistic thoughts, and frowned again.
It's already noon, why haven't you come out yet?
It wouldn't take this long for a normal person, right?
Could it be that this little Taoist priest...
Hidden deep?
Strange, why is my face red again?
Seeing that it was getting late, the maid felt that she could not wait any longer, so she knocked on the door, risking being scolded.
"Girl, do you need more tea?"
No one responded.
She carefully put her ear to the door, but still heard no sound.
Only then did she feel something was wrong and pushed the door open regardless of everything.
I saw that the room was already empty.
There was a piece of paper on the table of the warm couch. She walked over and picked it up, and saw that it read:
"Miss Jiangli has been kidnapped by me. If you want to save her, come to Shanyin Lane in the south of the city at midnight tonight."
"A vicious criminal remains."
“Ah, this…”
The head maid trembled and then screamed.
"Oh no! The girl has been kidnapped——"
In a moment.
This letter was placed on the desk of Aunt Wan, the real person in charge of Youlanxuan.
Although Su Wan is already old, she was a very popular courtesan back then. She still pays attention to her skin care, drawing her eyebrows and sideburns, and applying delicate makeup. However, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes can no longer be concealed.
She looked at the kidnapping letter with only one sentence on the table and rubbed her temple.
"Master Yin San, what do you think?"
"How? With your eyes, of course."
Opposite her sat a tall man in black, with a square face and a scar on his right eye. It looked like it ran from his brow to his cheek, and it must have cut his eyeball, but somehow his eyes were still bright.
Su Wan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Jiang Li is our Youlanxuan's top star. Without her, we won't be able to participate in the Flower City Conference this time. How great a loss that would be... You wouldn't know that, right?"
"You don't have to tell me that."
The man called Yin Sanye also frowned. "This so-called kidnapping is full of loopholes. Who else could it be except that little Taoist priest? Shanyin Lane in the south of the city... isn't it near the Deyun Temple?"
"We were previously suppressed by Chaotianque. It was said that it was because the young Taoist priest in Deyun Temple had connections with Chaotianque. When we captured a Xuanyin body, he tracked us down. When he found Youlanxuan before, I wanted to warn the people in the building not to have anything to do with him. It was you who forbade me to have any contact with the girls in the building, and now..."
For some reason, he only knew that Li Chu was investigating the matter of Miss Lanzhi, but he didn't know that he was also looking for Guo Xiaobao at the same time.
"Master Yin San." Su Wan frowned and said, "I invited you here to ask you what to do about this matter. Youlanxuan is not your family's business. We allowed you to join the company because we relied on your power. But now, in the final analysis, it is because your family's affairs have affected the business of the building. No matter what, it is up to you to solve it. It is useless for you to complain about how I manage Youlanxuan."
Although the woman has no spiritual accomplishment, her aura is just as great.
Master Yin glanced at her and turned away angrily.
Of course he would not be afraid of this old woman, but as she said, there were more than one owner behind Youlanxuan, and Su Wan had other things to rely on.
"The situation is tense recently, and I'm already taking a big risk by coming to see you." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my eldest and second brothers, and I'll definitely bring Miss Jiangli back."
For a good girl, this matter is neither big nor small.
For such a large brothel, it is natural that Wei Jiangli is not the only beautiful girl there.
However, the resources they can invest are limited. After spending a lot of effort on training, publicity and promotion in the early stage,
It is equivalent to placing the treasure of Youlanxuan on Wei Jiangli.
As long as she steps onto the stage of the Huadu Conference, the benefits she brings will surely be many times more than what she pays.
But if this person suddenly passed away at this moment, the loss would be immeasurable.
If something goes wrong with Youlanxuan, Yin family will also be very upset.
The industries that their family controlled alone were basically swept away by Chao Tianque. Only some of the industries that were jointly controlled by others could barely survive.
Among them, Youlanxuan, which makes a fortune every day, is naturally the most important.
For a large cultivation family, having no money is a terrible thing.
Especially for the Yin family, which has been heavily in debt in recent years due to the poor management of the family head...
…
Yin Lao San quickly returned to a secret place.
The three brothers in charge of the Yin family now are the eldest brother Yin Ru, the second brother Yin Shi, and he is the third, so everyone calls him Yin Lao San.
In the dark.
Yin Ru sat cross-legged quietly, with a long and narrow face, downturned eyes and a gloomy look.
Yin Shi has a round face, is a bit fat, and looks a bit honest.
Yin Lao San has a square face.
Although the three brothers were born of the same mother, they looked completely different.
No wonder some people say that the face shape of their children depends on the face shape of their neighbors at that time...
certainly.
Later, as the three brothers rose to power and dominated the Yin family, anyone who dared to say such things would have his tongue pulled out by his brothers.
"How about it?"
Seeing the third brother coming back, the second brother Yin Shi asked questions first.
Yin Lao San then told him what happened in Youlanxuan.
"I've been really unlucky lately..."
After listening to him, the eldest brother Yin Ru also sighed.
"Catching the Xuanyin body caused Chao Tianque to attack..."
"Lord Canghai always urges us to form a large formation, but is unwilling to send more people to help..."
"Now even such a small Taoist temple dares to go against us..."
"It's okay, big brother." Yin Shi comforted him, "It's nothing more than a period of adversity before good times. Maybe once we find Lord Yindi, we will be able to return to the top!"
"I hope so." Yin Ru shook his head. "Lord Canghai is always unpredictable. It remains to be seen whether he has any trustworthy information."
"Brother, don't lose heart." Yin Lao San also advised: "We have to take back Yin Di and Zhongxing Family! Don't think too much, our problem now is to solve the problem of that broken Taoist temple first."
"I know." Yin Ru nodded, "I've heard you say before that the Taoist priests in that Taoist temple were investigating us because of the Xuanyin Body, but we didn't take it seriously. Since they dare to be so persistent, we should just destroy it."
Yin Shidao said: "It is not difficult to destroy a small Taoist temple. The difficult part is to do it under the surveillance of Chaotianque and to escape unscathed..."
"Actually... I have an idea." Yin Ru said with a gloomy look.
"I hadn't thought of it before, but when I mentioned Shanyin Lane in the south of the city, I suddenly remembered..."
"Did we discover a ghost country rift here before?"
"That's right." Yin Shi nodded. "It happened when we were kids. A crack appeared there, and some weak ghosts appeared every night. Later, our elders went to see it and found that the crack was too small to be of much use, so they just recorded it."
"If the crack suddenly expands, allowing ghosts to enter and exit..." Yin Ru's eyes flashed with a cold light, "When that happens, hundreds of ghosts will roam at night, and it won't be surprising if they destroy a Taoist temple, right?"
“Big brother…” Yin Shi was somewhat suspicious, frowning and saying, “Isn’t this a bit too big… One hundred ghosts are parading at night, and more than one Taoist temple must have died. If Chaotianque is slow, perhaps the people of the entire southern part of the city will suffer… That’s tens of thousands…”
"Hmph." Yin Ru said fiercely, "Shenluo City's Chaotianque has made things so difficult for us. If something big happens, it will just give them a headache! As long as this matter is done covertly enough, who can blame us?"
As he said this, he turned his head to Yin Lao San.
"Third brother, do you understand?"
"Huh?"
Yin Lao San blinked.
You two are discussing this so animatedly, and now I have to go again?
…
Right now.
Deyun Temple.
A beating heart and trembling hands.
Taoist Priest Du brought four dishes and a soup to Miss Jiangli's room and asked, "Miss Jiangli, I just made these. Take a look and see if they suit your taste. If you don't like them, I can always change them for you."
"Thank you, Taoist Du." Wei Jiangli thanked him softly, and then said, "Didn't I tell you, Taoist Du, you don't have to be so polite to me? I'm just... a hostage kidnapped by Taoist Xiao Li."
"Yes, yes."
Taoist Priest Du licked his lips and said nervously, "Not only did my master tell me to treat you well, but I have also liked you for a long time... I have always been your most loyal supporter."
"Thank you very much."
Miss Jiangli nodded again, but her eyes moved to the food. The meaning was obvious: I want to eat.
Distant and polite.
"Then I'll leave first." Dulanke nodded with a silly smile, walked out, and then turned back.
"By the way, Miss Jiangli..." He rubbed his hands and asked softly with some anticipation.
"Are you going to take a shower later?"
Thanks to the leader, I owe 31+1=32 more chapters. (End of this chapter)
