Chapter 17
It was Mei Qi who came.
His previous injuries hadn't healed yet, and his wind-cold symptoms were only half healed, and now he was hit on his left shoulder and right wrist again, and suddenly he felt that there was no place in his body that felt comfortable.But when he thought about the reason for coming here, the anger in his heart only became more and more intense.
"The surname is Xi! What did you two brothers and sisters do to sister Meng yesterday?"
Xi Cang looked at him coldly, "Didn't she tell you?"
"Zi Qiao said that she passed out in the yard after you left, and she vomited blood several times last night, and she is still unconscious now!"
After hearing this, Xi Cang just snorted coldly, "If there is a cause, there will be an effect. The suffering she is suffering now is to pay for the mistakes she made in the past."
Mei Qi had come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but he saw that not only did he show no guilt, but his attitude was extremely indifferent, and his cheeks flushed with anger, "I don't care about your cause or effect, my lord, you hurt my sister Meng first. You must seek justice for her!"
"Fair?" Xi Cang's face darkened, and he tightened his sword hand, "Who hurt who? Go back and ask Hua Ruomeng! This time I'm polite not to argue with her. Don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless if you mess around with me!"
"Why does my son need your mercy!"
Mei Qizao suppressed her anger, and as soon as she finished speaking, she attacked Xi Cang with her bare hands.
Xi Cang stabbed his sword hard into the ground, and met him with bare hands.
The two of you come and go, seeing each other's moves, but Mei Qi's kung fu is inferior to Xi Cang, and at this time he is sick again, but after several moves, he is out of breath and unable to continue, and his moves are obviously slow down.
Xi Cang didn't want to make unnecessary entanglements, so he knocked him back with a palm and then stopped, "With your current kung fu, it is impossible to beat me, and I don't want to hurt you, so go back and tell Hua Ruomeng that ten years later, I will win you." I don't have to worry about her in the past, but I also ask her not to bother us in the future!"
Mei Qi clutched her aching chest and was very dissatisfied, but she knew there was nothing she could do about him, and she heard something in his words, so she asked angrily, "What ten years ago? Tell me clearly!"
Xi Cang pulled up the sword on the ground and threw it back to him, "If you want to know, why don't you go back and ask her yourself?"
Mei Qi looked hesitant, and finally could only say bitterly, "Okay! I will go back and ask the ins and outs first, and then I will come to you to settle the score!"
Xi Cang watched him leave in a hurry, then turned back to the house.
In the room, Xi Qing had already woken up and was about to get out of bed with the quilt lifted.
Seeing that he was about to get off the ground with bare feet, Xi Cang hurriedly took a step forward, squatted down and gently held his jade-white and icy soles.
"Master, it's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Xi Qing remained silent, just looked at him lightly.
Xi Cang had no choice but to pick up the footwear on the side and help him put it on, and then helped him put on his boots, and then changed his clothes himself.After putting on the clothes, Xi Cang picked up the wooden comb at the side, and gently and carefully combed his knee-length black silk.
"Master, is this the case with Hua Ruomeng?"
Xi Qing didn't answer.
Xi Cang waited for a while, then asked unwillingly, "Doesn't Master hate her?"
"Hate?" Xi Qing murmured again after a while, "I have already forgotten what it feels like."
"But she once lied to Master like that. Doesn't Master blame her?"
"It's just a poor person, what's the use of blaming her."
Since you don't blame her, why did you go to her again today after ten years?
"Master..." Do you still like her?Xi Cang really wanted to ask this question, but after thinking about it, he gave up and said, "Then what shall we do next?"
Xi Qing stood up slowly, and said calmly, "Next, you will find someone else."
"Who are you looking for?"
"It's not as good as before."
Xi Cang was stunned when he heard the name, Mo Ruchu?Could it be the hero Mo that he saw in that other garden?Could it be that he also has some entanglement with Master?Xi Cang still wanted to ask more questions, but Xi Qing had already taken the sword and went out.
In the courtyard, I saw his clothes fluttering, his hair fluttering, and his snowy and beautiful face appeared cold and cold. The sword in his hand seemed to have turned into a part of his body. .
In the afternoon, after Xi Qing settled down, Xi Cang went out. He came to the street where he met Mo Ruchu last time, found a teahouse and went in to inquire about his situation and whereabouts.
Xi Cang was slender and tall, and although he was dressed in common clothes, he could hardly conceal his vigor and magnificence. As soon as he stepped into the teahouse, he was spotted by a young man in blue who was chatting happily with other young men at the table by the window. A flash of surprise flashed in the young master's eyes, and after talking to his friend at the same table, he got up and walked towards Xi Cang's table.
Xiao Er put the tea and snacks on the table, and Xi Cang took out a pair of silver locks and threw them to him, "You don't need to look for the rest." Xiao Er grinned and thanked him repeatedly, but was stopped when he was about to leave. "Ask someone with you."
Xiaoer hurriedly said, "Master, please, but every little one who knows will know everything."
Xi Cang asked directly, "Have you heard of Mo Ruchu?"
Xiaoer grinned even wider when he heard this, "Look, I'm just kidding, the name of the hero Mo Ruchu Mo is known to everyone, not to mention everyone in the Jianghu, even in Suzhou City." !"
"Why do you say that?"
"The first one is naturally because he has a great reputation in the Jianghu, and his status is second only to the current leader of the Jianghu. The second..." Xiao Er laughed twice before adding, "He is not related to us in Suzhou City." Hua Ruomeng, the number one beauty, seems to have a very close friendship."
"Then do you know his whereabouts?"
Xiao Er scratched his head, "The little one just heard that he has appeared in Suzhou City recently, so I don't know the details."
"Thank you."
With a wave of Xi Cang's hand, Xiao Er retreated knowingly, but there was another young man in blue shirt standing where Xiao Er was standing before.
"It really is Brother Xi!"
Xi Cang looked up, without much expression on his face, "It's you."
The person who came was none other than Mr. Zhou Zhou who met once in the Plum Appreciation Friendship Competition.
Mr. Zhou sat down at the table familiarly, "I never expected to see Brother Xi again, you and I are so destined!"
Xi Cang's expression was indifferent, and his tone was equally indifferent, "What's the matter with you?"
Mr. Zhou had already experienced his weird temperament before, so he didn't care about his attitude, he just asked, "Has Brother Xi met Miss Ruomeng?"
"I have seen."
Young Master Zhou was envious when he heard the words, but saw his brows furrowed tightly, remembering his conversation with Xiao Er just now, and asked again, "Brother Xi is looking for someone?"
"good."
"Is it Mo Ruchu Mo the hero?"
Xi Cang glanced at him, "You know?"
Mr. Zhou said with a sneer, "I'm afraid there is no man in Suzhou who doesn't know his name."
Xi Cang frowned, "Because he knows Hua Ruomeng?"
"It's more than acquaintance. I heard that their relationship is not ordinary."
"Why is it unusual?"
Mr. Zhou looked at him with a pimple-like expression, but seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, he just sighed helplessly and said, "I just heard that the reason why Miss Ruomeng has never married seems to be because of Mo Ruchu, Hero Mo, but this Hero Mo only comes to Suzhou once in a while, poor girl Ruo Meng has been waiting for him for so many years, but she can't wait for his eight-carrying sedan chair."
After hearing this, Xi Cang only sneered.
Seeing his expression, Mr. Zhou recalled that he was inquiring about the whereabouts of that hero Mo, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, "Brother Xi, you are looking for that hero Mo... for Miss Ruomeng?"
Xi Cang said coldly, "No."
"Then why?"
"You don't have to know."
Mr. Zhou was blocked, his face darkened, but he said, "Aren't you looking for him? Don't you want to know his whereabouts?"
Xi Cang's eyes were cold, "Where is he?"
"Then can you tell me why you are looking for him?"
Xi Cang thought for a while and said, "I can only tell you that I have other things to do with him, and it has nothing to do with Hua Ruomeng."
"Is it really irrelevant?"
"really."
Seeing his serious expression, Mr. Zhou believed him very much, and said, "I saw him with a man in Tianxiang Tower the day before yesterday."
"Tianxiang Tower?" Xi Cang asked again, "Where is it?"
Young Master Zhou raised his eyebrows, "You don't even know about Tianxianglou?"
Xi Cang shook his head.
Mr. Zhou was speechless, "Then do you know where Tianxiang Tower is?"
Xi Cang still shook his head.
Young Master Zhou was speechless again, "That's a place to laugh."
Xi Cang frowned, "Where is it?"
"Baihua Lane in Cross Street."
After hearing this, Xi Cang got up and wanted to leave.
Young Master Zhou hurriedly said, "Where is Brother Xi going?"
"Tianxiang Tower."
Mr. Zhou raised his forehead, "The door of Tianxiang Tower is still not open at this time, even if you want to go, you have to wait until it gets dark."
Xi Cang thanked him, and left the teahouse without looking back. Instead of going to Tianxianglou, he went back alone.
After returning, Xi Cang told Xi Qing about meeting Mo Ruchu in Meiying Bieyuan and in the street market, including the news he inquired in the teahouse.
After hearing this, Xi Qing didn't respond, she just said that she found someone first.
After dark, Xi Cang went to bed with the servant Xi Qing early, and then went out again, heading straight to Baihua Lane, Cross Street.
At night, the sky began to snow sporadically again, but the Baihua Lane was brightly lit and people were coming and going.The brothel and Chuguan family walked by each other all the way, only listening to the fluttering music and constant laughter.
Tianxianglou is the largest brothel in Baihua Lane, and Xi Cang saw the three big characters that were illuminated red by the lights from a long distance away.Although the weather was cold, there were still a few women in revealing clothes standing at the door, and when they saw those richly dressed men, they tried their best to pull them in.
As soon as Xi Cang stood still in front of the door, two gorgeous girls came to pull him from left and right.Although he was dressed in common clothes, his appearance and demeanor were not vulgar, and they also stuck to him because of this.
"Master, look at your eyes, but it's your first time back?"
"Young Master, it doesn't matter if it's the first time you come back, how about letting Xiangxiu serve you tonight?"
"Xiangxiu, I fell in love with this young master first!"
"Who cares about you, the young master must have a crush on you!"
It was the first time Xi Cang had come to see this brothel Chuguan, and the thick fragrance of powder from these women made him frown.
"release!"
The two jealous women were taken aback by his cold tone.
Xi Cang took this opportunity to get rid of them, and went into the building to look for them.
