The Eight Great Alley was a famous place for fireworks in the capital.
Here, there was the most intoxicating wine in the world, as well as the most intimate and understanding woman. And this last item was the reason why the Eight Great Alleys were so famous in the capital.
The Lantern Festival was the most important event of the year for women in brothels.
Whoever had the most fans around their lofts would naturally be the Courtesan Belle of the year. There were naturally many benefits to obtaining the title of Courtesan Belle. Not only could they choose to receive guests according to their preferences, but it was also a very prestigious thing if there was a Courtesan Belle to add to the fun when officials and wealthy families entertained guests.
Miss Shi Shi was undoubtedly the most sought-after top courtesan.
It was not that her face and figure were outstanding. When she reached the level of the top courtesans of the eight alleys, they were all about the same. They were all graceful and charming, but this Miss Shi Shi could bravely become the top courtesan and then compete for the top courtesan. Her brilliance was in one word: cold.
This coldness was bone-deep.
She smiled when she saw you, but it wasn't the kind of smile that was seductive. It was shallow, like the new moon in the sky.
When you recite a good poem, she also says it's good, but it's not the kind of good that deliberately acts good. It's faint, like a touch of frosting on tea.
It was a thousand miles away, but it was right in front of him.
She was so cold that all the young masters in the capital were mesmerized and unable to extricate themselves.
Many children of the rich and powerful racked their brains but failed to get close to her. From the beginning, they tried to make her smile by reciting poems to the end, and later on, they exhausted all means to drug and force her. Unfortunately, when they thought of Miss Shishi's other signature-sword dance, they could only dismiss this idea.
Just as the scholars and young masters outside the pavilion were still watching the eight musicians playing on the stage, the pavilion was filled with another spring scenery.
After Qin 'er tactfully left, only Li Qing and Ah Lan were left in the boudoir.
"The willow waist can't stand the spring breeze, and the white lion embroidered ball shakes half a step.”Li Qing saw that everyone had dispersed and he strode forward to hug Alan's slender but powerful waist.
However, the next moment, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Li Qing held a pocket-sized Remington revolver with gold inlaid on it, while Alan held a short blade behind Li Qing's back. If it wasn't for the movements behind the two of them, this scene would have been extremely charming.
"Who exactly are you?" The two of them said in unison.
Li Qing thought about it. "I am who I am. I am a duckweed, and the four seas are my home. I might be in the capital this month, but next month, I will go to the northeast or Jiangnan. Sooner or later, my footprints will travel to every corner of the world!”
"Ha! You have a clever mouth.”
Li Qing looked at Ah Lan, who was frowning and smiling, and could not help but say,"You're so beautiful!"
"Slippery tongue, lecher!"
Li Qing laughed after hearing this." A graceful lady is a good match for a gentleman. How can this be called lust?”
"I don't care. You are what I say you are.”Alan said proudly.
Li Qing looked at Ah Lan's face and almost lost himself in it. He forgot the purpose of this trip, so Li Qing took a deep breath and said,"Lan, you haven't told me that you have a different identity every time you appear. By the way, which is your real name, Lan or Shishi?”
After being asked by Li Qing, Alan's eyes were a little confused. She said indifferently,"Lan, you already knew this. Perhaps you are duckweed, but I am a kite. It seems that I am free, but in reality, I have a pair of hands that firmly control me!”
Li Qing looked at Ah Lan, who was already in tears, and knew in his heart that what she said was true. How could Li Qing endure it? He let go of Ah Lan and said,"Who is controlling you? Lan, tell me!”
"It's useless!"
"If you don't try, how will you know?”
"He's my foster father. Do you think I'll let you kill him?”Alan said excitedly,
Li Qing was a little dizzy. "But why did he make you an assassin, and now he wants you to go to a brothel?”
"I can't tell you that!"
Li Qing, who had originally planned to ask more questions, saw the fear in Alan's eyes and knew that things were not that simple. Perhaps it was a specialized assassination organization, or perhaps…Sighing, Li Qing sat down and said,"Alright then! Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you anymore.”
"Thank you. You're a good person, although you're a little dark!”Alan looked at Li Qing, who was in a daze, and gently wiped his eyes with a silk handkerchief as he laughed.
Li Qing was stunned. His originally sad mood returned to normal. He thought to himself,'This is definitely the most heart-wrenching good person card in history. The good person card is already heart-wrenching enough, and in the end, I still have to add eight more knives!'
Hence, Li Qing stood up and slowly approached Ah Lan. He smiled evilly and said,""These three tests were set by you personally. Now that I've broken through three tests in a row, according to the rules you set, I'm now your guest!”
Looking at Li Qing's evil smile, Ah Lan actually didn't have her usual dislike for men. In fact, she even had a little anticipation in her heart.
This change surprised Alan. Could this be the love that Big Sister was talking about?
However, when she thought of how her foster father forbade her and her sisters from having feelings for men, and how he had cruelly killed her eldest sister who had eaten the forbidden fruit in front of them, Ah Lan felt a chill run down her spine. She could not help but shout,"No, you can't!"
However, when she opened her eyes, she realized that Li Qing had only one hand pressed against the wall, surrounding her and looking at her silently.
Li Qing looked at the blushing Ah Lan and smiled.""Don't want what?"
"It's nothing. It's just that it's getting late. You should go and find your wife!”Alan patted his chest and said.
Li Qing knew that there were many secrets in Alan's heart. It was impossible to expect her to tell them all at once, so he said,"You don't keep your word. When Xu goes out, the people outside will definitely know that you're mine tonight. If I go out so soon, they'll laugh at me!”
"Why?" Alan asked in confusion.
Li Qing smiled evilly and whispered a few words into Alan's ear.
Alan's face instantly turned red. Her hands turned into small fists and kept hitting Li Qing's chest. She buried her head deep and whispered,"You're a big pervert!”
Li Qing looked at Ah Lan's actions and smiled without saying a word. He hugged her tightly in his arms.
When he let go, the slightly dazed Alan sighed softly,""Then let's sit for a while longer, or play a game of chess?”
Li Qing shook his head and said,"Lan, why don't you give me a sword dance?"”
......
After the dance, Li Qing looked at the beauty in his arms and felt extremely melancholic.
When Li Qing was escorted to the front desk by Ah Lan, the crowd below the pavilion did not disperse. Instead, more and more people gathered. The veterans of the pleasure scene could see that although Miss Shi Shi had been alone with the black-faced man for nearly two hours, there was still a hint of tenderness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She still looked like a…virgin.
Hence, they all looked at Li Qing in confusion.
Li Qing looked at the crowd and smiled without saying a word. He turned around and left. The people who were left behind stood on the spot and laughed loudly.
As for Li Qing, he had only taken a few steps when his personal guards followed.
Li Qing smiled faintly, still reminiscing about the sword dance just now.
At this moment, Alan, who was sitting quietly in the boudoir, stroked the gold-inlaid Remington revolver that Li Qing had given her before he left. Although Li Qing had already left, his figure was all she could see in front of her.
