Ah Li didn't receive a reply from the system administrator, but Cui Cui, who was standing next to her, hurriedly pulled up her veil to cover her face and whispered a reminder, "People are here, stand still quickly."
Ahri also pulled up her veil to cover her face. The next second, a new memory appeared in her mind.
In her memory, she was kidnapped on the street and woke up here.
There are quite a few women here, some of whom came voluntarily, and some of whom were bought.
Ahri looked down at her outfit; she could have done it voluntarily.
On the other side, Hongqing strongly resisted everything in front of him; he loathed, hated, and felt nauseous.
But he couldn't control himself; he could only watch as he followed his fourteenth brother to this place filled with the scent of rouge.
Fourteenth Brother then said to Hongqing, "Seventh Brother, you said last time you were going to bring someone back, but I didn't see you do anything about it. Did you not find anyone?"
Hongqing gave him a cold look, picked up his wine glass, and said uncontrollably, "There's no one here. I just said it on a whim, but you took it seriously."
Fourteen chuckled twice, not paying any attention to Hongqing's attitude, and raised his hand to pat it.
The next second, a group of dancers filed out and appeared on the stage in the middle.
Among the dancers, Ahri also twirled and swayed her waist and raised her hands.
Her every movement was light yet powerful, like a red flower blooming in the desert.
Hongqing involuntarily put down his wine glass, his gaze fixed on Ah Li's figure.
It's her!
At that time, he had just learned her name. He was thinking that there were many people and eyes at the palace gate, and if he suddenly took her away, it would definitely cause a lot of gossip.
Therefore, he planned to wait until the person left the palace before taking him back.
However, after taking five steps forward, he lost control of himself.
He wanted to turn back, he wanted to wait for Ah Li at the palace gate, but he couldn't, this body was beyond his control.
This situation has continued to this day.
He thought that, like in his previous life, he would meet her again after she became a wife, and see her being inseparable and loving with someone else.
Now, she's here.
This place was where high-ranking officials and dignitaries came to enjoy song and dance performances and hold gatherings.
Hongqing looked at Fourteen and said, "Have someone investigate whether these recent people came in voluntarily?"
Fourteen looked at Hongqing with some surprise, "Seventh Brother, you're acting a bit strange today."
They generally don't care about these kinds of things unless the victim comes crying to them.
Hongqing put down his wine glass and stood up because someone was heading towards Ah Li.
At this moment, the dancers all stopped and stood in line one by one.
Many people came over, picking out large white radishes like they were choosing vegetables at a market, each eager to get their hands on one.
Just then, a person stood in front of Ah Li. The person was about to reach out and pull off the veil from Ah Li's face when Hong Qing suddenly appeared in front of Ah Li, blocking the person's hand. With half of his face in shadow, he asked, "What do you want with your hand?"
Ah Li looked up at Hong Qing, still thinking that this person couldn't control himself.
"Seventh...Seventh Master, I just wanted to see what this person looked like."
Knowing Hongqing's identity, the man took two steps back, and the others became much more respectful, standing to the side.
Hongqing still had the urge to draw his sword and kill the man, but his sleeve was grabbed by Ali, who whispered, "Brother Hongqing."
Hongqing stiffened. He had heard that title many times in his past life. Later, after the person learned his identity, he never called him that again.
Ah Li blinked her misty eyes. As if she had finally found someone she knew, she took two steps closer to Hong Qing and said in a tearful voice, "I was brought here after being knocked unconscious. I want to leave this place."
Hongqing said, "Okay, I'll take you away."
However, upon noticing Ahri's clothes, he turned to look at Fourteen.
Fourteen was startled instantly. Who was this woman in front of him?
However, now was not the time for curiosity. He quickly had someone find a black cloak and sent it to Hongqing.
Hongqing helped Ahli put on the cloak, then took two steps to the side and said, "I'll take you out first."
"Um."
Ahri pulled her cloak tighter and followed behind Hongqing.
Cui Cui was a little excited. This music troupe had kidnapped the wrong person this time. They were going to be in trouble, really in bad luck.
After leaving the music hall, Ah Li stayed close to Hong Qing.
Hongqing belatedly realized that he seemed to have regained control of his body.
"you."
Ahri and Hongqing spoke at the same time, their eyes meeting.
"You go first."
The two spoke in unison again.
Hongqing smiled and looked at Ah Li.
Ah Li quickly looked away and whispered, "Are you Brother Hongqing?"
"Yes, it's the real deal."
Hongqing wanted to hold Ahli's hand and let her touch his face.
But he held back.
He thought it was a blessing from heaven that he met her before Lin Wenqing in this life. But now it seems that's not the case; she also remembers what happened back then.
Ah Li smiled and said, "Then can you take me to find Lin Wenqing?"
Hongqing looked like he knew this would happen.
Fortunately, when he first woke up, he sent a wife to Lin Wenqing, and now their child should be able to run around in the ground by now.
But can Ahri know about this?
Of course not.
So Hongqing said in a serious tone, "Okay, I'll take you to change your clothes first, and then I'll take you to find Lin Wenqing."
"Thank you."
Ah Li looked at Hong Qing with great pleasure, but in her heart she was thinking to herself: Does this person really not have any ulterior motives?
At this moment, Hongqing wanted to raise his hand to cover Ahli's eyes, because her eyes would bewitch him and make him do things he had wanted to do for a long, long time.
Ah Li seemed oblivious, and whispered, "I wonder if Wen Qing remembers what happened between us too."
Hongqing said it was unlikely, because he had someone check on Lin Wenqing before, and Lin Wenqing showed no unusual behavior.
However, just in case, he would have to be careful. If there was any sign of trouble, he would... or he would kill Lin Wenqing, or force her to stay by his side.
Hongqing looked towards Ali, and he wondered if it was because she was going to see Lin Wenqing, as she seemed very happy.
That familiar aches and pains have returned.
Hongqing looked away, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Afterwards, Hongqing took Ali to an inn and settled her in. He then said, "I'll make some arrangements first, and I'll take you to find Lin Wenqing tomorrow."
"Alright, thank you very much, Brother Hongqing."
"It's alright, don't be so polite with me."
Hongqing also said, "I'll bring you some clothes later. You can rest here for a bit."
"good."
Ah Li responded and closed the door.
Seeing that Ah Li had closed the door, Hong Qing turned and left. If he was unhappy, he would make others unhappy too.
The music hall was a perfect place to vent one's anger.
