After some inquiries, Luo Xue found out that it was Leng Xi who took Leng Ming to Tianxiang Tower to drink.
How could she not be angry? Leng Ming was an indecisive person, and Leng Xi was a scheming person. If the two of them were fooling around together, if Leng Xi did something bad to Leng Ming, he would definitely go astray.
It seems that she has to stop Leng Ming and Leng Xi from interacting privately.
While thinking about this, she returned to Huichun Hall. Seeing her return, Luo Lan hurried over to greet her.
"Xue, why did you come back just now? How was it?"
Luo Xue looked up and saw Luo Lan's concerned expression. She decided not to tell her about Leng Ming, otherwise she would be worried.
Thinking of this, she forced a smile and then shook her head.
"I met a magician on the way and watched him for a while, but then I got delayed. Isn't it busy here?"
"I'm not busy. I just sent a group of patients away. I'm glad you're back. Come in and have dinner."
"good."
Luo Xue responded indifferently, but her mind was a little absent-minded.
…
Xiwangfu
Leng Xi has been very busy these days because Prince Yu's Mansion is holding a conference to elect martial arts masters. This is the most rare opportunity to get close to Leng Yu. If he doesn't make good use of it, Leng Xi will regret it.
Now, a handsome man stood in front of him. He looked at him and said seriously:
"Yang Feng, I have already made it clear to you that you can only win this competition, not lose, and you must serve in Prince Yu's mansion. Otherwise, Xiao Hui will not stay by your side."
When Xiaohui was mentioned, the man's face suddenly turned ashen.
Xiaohui was his childhood playmate. At that time, they played together all day long. He promised her that he would protect her and marry her when he grew up.
However, the good times did not last long. When they were ten years old, the village was hit by a locust plague and the crops in the fields were completely destroyed. The villagers had to pay rent to the court. Not only did they not have enough food to eat, they also had to borrow money to pay to the court.
As a result, most people were forced into a desperate situation and had to rely on their relatives and friends. Yang Feng's parents both died of illness that year, and he became an orphan overnight. Fortunately, he was taken away by a distant relative. Later, he could no longer live in his relative's house, and by chance, he was taken in by a hermit master. From then on, he embarked on the path of martial arts.
More than ten years later, he still hadn't forgotten Xiaohui, so he said goodbye to his master and returned to his hometown to look for Xiaohui.
However, when he returned to his hometown, he found out after much inquiry that in the second year after he left, Xiaohui's family also suffered a sudden change. Her mother died of illness and she was sold by her father. No one knew where she was sold to.
Xiaohui was missing, and this news frightened him. He was afraid that she would be homeless or bullied by others, so he began to perform all over the country while searching for Xiaohui...
Just half a month ago, he accidentally discovered that Xiaohui was working as a prostitute in Zuiyuelou, the largest brothel in the capital, and was the top prostitute.
When he proposed to take Xiaohui away, the madam of Zuiyuelou told him that if he wanted to redeem Xiaohui, he would need at least 30,000 taels of silver.
Thirty thousand taels?
He has been living on traveling and performing for years, and he doesn't even have thirty taels of silver for food, drink, and shelter. Where can he get thirty thousand taels of silver?
From that day on, he went to Zuiyue Tower to see Xiaohui every day. A few days ago, the madam patiently persuaded him not to be delusional, saying that Xiaohui's worth was not something he could just meet.
After a few days, the madam had lost her patience and ordered the thugs in Zuiyue Tower to drive him away.
But he had martial arts skills, and the thugs in Zuiyue Tower were no match for him at all. He beat them to a pulp in no time.
For this reason, the madam reported the case to the authorities, and Shuntian Prefecture sent a large number of officials to surround him.
At the same time, Xiaohui also came out to beg him personally, asking him not to cause trouble and to leave here quickly.
In desperation, he fought off several officers and escaped from Zuiyue Tower.
Before leaving, he told Xiaohui in person that he would save enough money and come back to redeem her.
But he knew in his heart that with the little money he earned, he would never be able to raise enough money to redeem her in this lifetime.
Thinking of this, he felt that he was useless. He had all the kung fu skills but couldn't even protect his own woman.
So, he came to Tianxiang Tower to drink alone. It was at this time that Leng Xi heard about this. He came to Tianxiang Tower and took the opportunity to talk to him.
Under Leng Xi's deliberate guidance, Yang Feng seemed to have found someone to talk to, and began to talk frantically to Leng Xi about himself and Xiaohui.
Seeing that Yang Feng had become the boss, Leng Xi proposed that as long as Yang Feng worked for him, he would be paid 6,000 taels of silver per year, and 30,000 taels of silver after five years, which could be used to redeem Xiaohui.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money. How could Yang Feng not agree?
However, after Yang Feng knew Leng Xi's identity, although he knew that what he asked him to do must be no small matter, and although he had a little hesitation, he finally compromised.
He knew that even if he was given fifty years, he would not be able to earn the thirty thousand taels of silver.
After much deliberation, he decided to agree to Leng Xi, but he also made a request, that is, no one else was allowed to touch Xiaohui during these five years.
Leng Xi immediately reached an agreement with him and promised that during the next five years, although Xiaohui would live in Zuiyue Tower, she would only sell her art and not her body, and he would not allow her to receive customers no matter how much money the customers offered.
Of course, during this period, Yang Feng must work for Leng Xi unconditionally. Five years later, he will redeem Xiaohui and give her freedom.
What Yang Feng didn't know was that the reason why Leng Xi agreed to his request so unscrupulously was because Zuiyue Tower was Leng Xi's property. When he heard about Yang Feng from the servants, he had an idea in his mind.
