Chapter 103
In the small reception hall where I have been free for half a day.
"Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother Cangqing." Cen Xiyan greeted the two of them.
She could actually guess why they came.
Sure enough, Ronghua cut to the chase as soon as he opened his mouth, "Little junior sister, I know that since you have decided to go to the appointment, you will definitely go. Senior brother will not dissuade you. However, the other party is too mysterious and has an unclear purpose, so we are really worried about it."
You go alone and let Cang Qing go to the appointment with you, preferably, bring Yang Rui with you."
Cen Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother Cang Qing will go with me, so Yang Rui won't be needed."
"But..." Ronghua still wanted to say something.
"Second Senior Brother, you should believe in the strength of Senior Brother Cang Qing and I. Besides, it is convenient to have fewer people, but it is inconvenient to have more people."
Seeing the serious expression on Cen Xiyan's face, Ronghua knew that she had made up her mind on this matter and could not change it. He sighed secretly in his heart, but she was able to agree to Cang Qing's following, which somewhat reassured him.
"What did that person say in his post?" Ronghua turned to ask another question that concerned him.
Cang Qing also looked at Cen Xiyan, waiting for her answer. Although he was a man of few words, he paid a lot of attention to the issues that should be paid attention to.
Cen Xiyan did not answer Ronghua's question directly, but directly took out the post from his arms and handed it over.
Rong Hua read the content on the post, his face became solemn, and then he handed the post to Cang Qing beside him.
"Young Master, I'm afraid there is some fraud in this..." Ronghua changed the title of Cen Xiyan from "Junior Sister" to "Young Master", hoping to attract Cen Xiyan's attention to his words, "That man spent a lot of money."
The astronomical price of 300,000 silver, I took a picture of Master Gongshu Pan's drawing, but I want to use this picture to lure you to the appointment. This action is really weird! I don't know what he is drawing. Young Master
, you have to be more careful!"
He did not persuade Cen Xiyan not to go to the appointment, because he knew the temperament of this junior sister, and it was difficult to change the things she had decided, so he could only give her a reminder.
Cen Xiyan nodded and said seriously: "I know, Second Senior Brother, don't worry, I will be careful." After a pause, he continued: "It's getting late, Senior Brother Cang Qing and I will leave first."
"Okay." Ronghua nodded helplessly, turned around, and told Cang Qing beside him: "Junior brother Cang Qing, take good care of the young master, and be careful! If... something happens, remember to send out signal fireworks!"
"I know." Cang Qing's words were as concise as ever, but her tone was very serious and solemn.
It's already night now.
Cen Xiyan got on the carriage and Cang Qing drove the car himself to the Juxian Pavilion that he had agreed with that person.
Juxian Pavilion is located in the east of Yuhuang City. It is built on the hillside of a mountain called Xiushan. The location is very remote. In addition to a private school at the foot of the mountain and two or three courtyards where wealthy families do not live regularly, there are many conveniences nearby.
There are no more people.
According to legend, the Juxian Pavilion was built by a prince from the former dynasty of Yanjiang. The prince was very fond of making friends. Whether they were nobles from aristocratic families, literati, or knights, he made many friends and built this gathering place.
After the Xian Pavilion, friends were often entertained here, drinking and talking, and they were very happy and free. The Juxian Pavilion was also very famous at the time, and many people were invited to the Juxian Pavilion to interact with them.
It would be an honor for the Marquis to make friends with him.
Later, I don't know whether the emperor at that time was too suspicious, or whether the prince really had the intention of treason, but he was accused of treason and was executed by the whole family! From then on, the Juxian Pavilion fell into decline.
Nowadays, Juxian Pavilion has passed through several owners. It is just an ordinary village. Normally, no one would pay more attention to Chu Village.
However, starting tonight, I am afraid that Juxian Pavilion will attract the attention of interested people again...
When she arrived at the foot of Xiushan Mountain, Cang Qing did not stop and drove her carriage up the mountain.
All the way to the mountainside, the carriage stopped. Cen Xiyan opened the curtain and looked outside, but it turned out that he was already outside the gate of Juxian Pavilion.
Cen Xiyan got off the carriage and looked at the Juxian Pavilion, which was very famous a long time ago. This village is very big. Standing at the door, you can't see the end to the left and right. Looking up the mountain, you can see shadows among the trees and buildings layer by layer.
, you can imagine what a magnificent and glorious scene it was here back then.
However, at this time, the courtyard walls were old and the paint on the gate was peeling off, making it look a bit depressed and decayed. There were no lights in the villa, and it was obviously less popular. In this autumn night, it gave people a feeling of loneliness, desolation and desolation.
feeling.
Cang Qing turned her head and looked at Cen Xiyan, waiting for her instructions.
Cen Xiyan nodded slightly to Cang Qing, "Call the door."
Cang Qing took two steps forward, raised her hand, and knocked on the rusty old door knocker. The sound of "bang bang bang" was particularly prominent and harsh in this cold night on the lonely mountain. The birds that had rested in the nearby woods
, because of the noise, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and flew away.
Not long after, there were footsteps coming from the door. Soon, the door was opened from the inside. Because the door was too heavy and old, it made a "creeping" sound.
The person who came was none other than the boy who went to deliver the post at the secret treasure conference.
He held a lantern and looked at Cen Xiyan and Cang Qing carefully. Seeing that among the two people, there was no elegant shopkeeper, nor any of the management-looking people sitting in Box 6 today, he couldn't help but said cautiously: "
Who are you two looking for?"
Although the master has sent an invitation to the elegant host, who knows whether it is the elegant host who is here now? The host has said that tonight may not be a peaceful night.
"I accepted the post from the master of Juxian Pavilion and came to attend the appointment." As he spoke, Cen Xiyan handed over the post as proof.
The boy took the post and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the one he had sent out for his master today, and he felt relieved.
"It turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived." The boy bowed and saluted, and then said: "My master has been waiting for a long time. You two, please come inside."
Cenxiyan, Cang Qing entered the gate, and the boy led the way, twisting and turning, towards the depths of Zhuangzi.
Along the way, except for the lantern in the boy's hand, there were no other lights. The surrounding houses and trees were full of shadows. It was pitch dark in the huge house. Apart from the boy, there were no other servants.
Hesitant to be in a ghost land! If it were a timid person, he might not even dare to go inside.
The boy didn't speak a word all the way and led them around a garden. In a small pavilion by a spring, they finally saw the light again.
There are exquisite lanterns lit at each corner of the small pavilion. The pavilion is covered by light gauze on all sides, flying lightly in the night wind, making it misty. There is a person leaning on a low platform in the pavilion, dressed in red, looking lazy and enchanting.
