has become a demon

Chapter 37 Clothes, Animals

After Lou Zhen came to Ningxia, Jin Wu gave him a property in the suburbs, a high family and deep courtyard, very grand.The Emperor Daxing had a funeral, and it was even worse to hold a birthday banquet in the yamen. Lou Zhen also retreated repeatedly and was moved here by Jin Wu.

Lanterns with the character of longevity were held in various places in Bieye tonight, and there was a lot of traffic outside the door, which was very lively.When Jinbaozhai's carriage arrived, it was already full of visitors.

When Lu Jiuwan got out of the carriage and walked to the gate, Lou Zhen's house manager came out to greet him, bowed lightly and said, "Oh, Boss Lu is here, sorry for your trouble."

"It's late, I'm late, please forgive me." He smiled and clasped his fists, then shook the manager's hand, and a silver coin was stuffed into the manager's palm.

The manager still had a cold face, holding the silver, he didn't sneer anymore, he just said: "You come with me, there is a place reserved for you."

As soon as he raised his head, he saw the tall and silent man behind Lu Jiuwan holding a heavy box.Lu Jiuwan had been standing still before, so he didn't pay attention to this person, but now that he moved around, this person became a little obvious.

"Who is this……"

"My new martial artist." Lu Jiuwan said with a smile.

"Oh...skills should be quite good..." The master said a few perfunctory words before leading them inside.

There are indeed quite a few people who came to inspect the yard today. There are running water mats in the backyard, side courtyard and open-air area.Some servants moved the table and set it up, and someone took the opportunity to sit down.

Those people are all dressed in fancy clothes, so they are not like ordinary people.

"There are hundreds of people here today, most of them are not on the guest list... and brought congratulatory gifts." The manager still had a cold face, and glanced at him, "Let me tell you, these dubious people are filial We can't look down on those three melons and two jujubes. Don't talk about having a glass of wine with Mr. Lou, even wishing to take a look at Mr. Lou is not worthy. But... we Mr. Lou said that we can't offend the common people. Heart. Then we welcome all these people outside."

"Master Lou is filial, honest and virtuous, and loves the people like a son." Lu Jiuwan flattered.

"Master Lou asked several times whether Jinbaozhai's business is doing well, and whether it has been affected by the war." The manager glanced at Lu Jiuwan who was nodding and bowing behind, and said slowly.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lou to still miss us. Lu was so touched!" Lu Jiuwan said with sincerity, touched and wiped the corners of his wet eyes, "Tonight, I must toast Mrs. Lou with a few glasses of wine. .”

While speaking, he was already under the porch of the front yard.

As he spoke, he picked up the box from Xie Taichu, who had been silent behind him, and handed it to the cashier who was waiting to receive the birthday present. , Jinbaozhai’s business is very stable.”

Lu Jiuwan patted the box lightly.

The box made a muffled sound, probably loaded with heavy objects.

A smile finally appeared on the face of the manager in charge: "Come with me, I have arranged a seat for you at the last table."

"Thank you sir!"

Fifty tables were set up inside and outside the front yard, and the best troupe from Weizhou was invited to perform on stage.

Lu Jiuwan was ushered to the last seat. After he sat down, he watched the troupe sing and wiped his sweat.

"Master uncle has worked hard." Xie Taichu said behind him.

Lu Jiuwan sighed: "It's not easy to make a living, this is normal. It's not bad for you to say 'hard work'."

"Yes."

When the two of them said this, other people were brought in beside the last table, all of them were merchants from Ningxia. After we exchanged pleasantries for a while, a merchant said: "I heard that there is a county king in the capital who was imprisoned in the town of Ningxia. is it?"

"What kind of county king? He's a common man." Another person said coldly, "The former second son of King Su. Isn't King Su dead? He escaped by luck, and the title of county king was taken away. He's just a common man ... are inferior to us."

"If you haven't been expelled from the ancestral temple, you are still the descendants of the Zhao family, and the common people are also nobles. Why are you inferior to us?"

"Five buckets of rice in this world can make people bend their knees." The previous man said, "I heard from the people in Eunuch Jin's mansion that Eunuch Jin is going to give the common people to Lou Zhen as a birthday gift. We are not the little hobby of Mr. Lou. I don't know..."

Lu Jiuwan almost spit out his tea, glanced at Xie Taichu, seeing his expressionless face, he felt even more uneasy.

"Look, the one next to Jin Wu, the chairman in the wheelchair, is he the one?"

Xie Taichu went to see it, facing the table with 20 chairmen, Lou Zhen and Jin Wu were sitting at the table, and Zhao Yuan was sitting at the bottom left of Jin Wu.

Under the gorgeous clothes, he has the dignity and temperament of a county king.

"I heard that the prince of the county had two major hobbies when he was in the capital, one was good at chess and the other was good at wine. So he specially prepared this red wine from Mobei."

Lou Zhen is in his 50s, and his face looks kind and refined, but the corners of his eyes are drooping, giving him a somewhat hypocritical air at first glance.Since Zhao Yuan was pushed over and sat next to Jin Wu, Lou Zhen never took his eyes off him.A pair of eyes scanned him back and forth, making people extremely uncomfortable.

At this time when Lou Zhen spoke, he responded and took the glass on the table, which was full of rose wine.

He took a sip.

The slightly sour and sweet aroma of wine overflows between the lips and teeth.

"Good wine," he said.

Lou Zhen smiled and nodded, and said kindly: "Since it's good wine, let's drink it all."

He looked down at the not-so-small glass, and said for a while, "Thank you, Mr. Lou."

The alcohol content of the wine is not high, but after pouring such a glass, the wine is still brewing.

After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass, and just put down the glass, he heard Lou Zhen say again: "The king of the county is good at drinking. Since the king of the county is good at wine, he will drink a few more glasses."

Zhao Yuan was startled.

"Didn't the king hear what Master Lou said?" Jin Wu asked him.

Someone has already filled his wine glass again, Zhao Yuan smiled: "Of course I heard it."

After speaking, he raised his glass again.

At this time, with the sound of clappers, the curtain opened, and the famous actors on the stage entered the arena, and all of them came here one after another, and a good show was sung.

The tone was sometimes euphemistic and melodious, sometimes desolate and sad, and sometimes impassioned. Countless people walked outside the courtyard and stopped to listen.Seeing the brilliance shining from the deep courtyard, I can't help but imagine what kind of spring is in this room.

There was a lot of drinking and drinking in the yard, and finally became a little unscrupulous.Those young apprentices in the theater troupe came out from both sides in their outfits and sat down with the banquet. They did not know when they had taken off their outer shirts, their snow-white arms were uncovered, and they leaned softly against the senior members. In the arms of the rich gentry, he was drunk and made some drinking orders.

Zhao Yuan drank cup after cup.

If Lou Zhen didn't shout to stop, he couldn't stop.

Jin Wu didn't know when he withdrew to the side to drink tea, but Lou Zhen had already posted it up, carefully watching him drink, his eyes that were kind just now were now a bit contemptuous.

"Didn't the prince of the county be very arrogant back then? I only asked for a hand-in-hand talk, but was rejected." Lou Zhen asked in his ear.

Zhao Yuan's eyes were blurred. Hearing his words, he laughed at himself: "That year was then, and today is today. There is no Le'an County King today, but Master Lou is already an official in the frontier. My status is humble, and I am fortunate to be with Lord Lou. It is an honor to be seated together.”

He drank another glass: "For example, recently, when the adults asked Yuan to drink, Yuan didn't dare not to drink."

Listening to his words, Lou Zhen was already drunk before drinking. He just felt that the former county king who had never been tamed before him was prostrate in front of him, as if he could be slaughtered at will.

He got carried away with complacency, and already had some dirty thoughts.

"Really?" Lou Zhen sneered, "One is wine, and the other is chess. What did I think about Prince Yiquan?"

"My lord wants to talk with me?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Yes."

"Yuanmo dare not follow orders." Zhao Yuan said.

"It's just no chess." Lou Zhen sighed.

"What's so difficult about it?" Jin Wu took a sip of tea from Liao Yixin's hand, and said coolly, "I see that the aqua-coloured Taoist uniform in the prince's inner is very good, so I asked the prince to take it off, and Mr. Lou painted on it. With nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, wouldn’t it become a chessboard?”

When Lou Zhen heard this, he laughed loudly: "I heard that it is popular in the capital to drink wine on the feet of prostitutes, and call it the Golden Lotus Cup. Talking with the county king about undressing has the same effect. Hahaha... Eunuch Jin is really elegant, so good .”

Lou Zhen's words were loud, more like deliberately humiliating Zhao Yuan.

Everyone in the front yard heard this.

Xie Taichu's face was gloomy, and he was about to step forward, but Lu Jiuwan grabbed his wrist and scolded: "What are you doing!"

"The first sage put on his clothes and ruled the world, so there was a country of Chinese etiquette. Clothes are rituals. How is it different from animals without clothes? Zhao Yuan, a family member like Zhao Yuan, respects etiquette very much. This kind of humiliation is like letting him walk naked. among the crowd."

"There are [-] private soldiers in Lou Zhen's mansion, and Jin Wu has [-] private soldiers." Lu Jiuwan frowned and said in a low voice, "Even if you act arrogantly, you won't be able to take Zhao Yuan away! Hold on."

Xie Taichu only felt that he clenched his fists tightly and endured it for a while before suppressing those dark existences.

Just as Lu Jiuwan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Xie Taichu say: "Shaochuan is not here, wait for another opportunity."

"Don't be impulsive! Let me tell you, Jinbaozhai's business will be ruined by you, and Qingxing Pavilion will be devastated..."

This time Xie Taichu didn't answer his words, he stared at Lou Zhen, only feeling the evil energy surge in his body, and he had the urge to kill again.

Lou Zhenyou didn't know that such a crisis would pass him by, and said with a smile: "Take it off, what is the county king doing?"

The drunken blush on Zhao Yuan's face subsided, and his face was a little pale.

"Or should I call someone to undress the prince? That would be ugly." Jin Wu encouraged him coldly.

However, let them down.

Zhao Yuan didn't lose his composure, raised his hand and unfastened the buckle on the bijia, took off the bijia, untied the sash around his waist, and threw it on the ground. There were two priceless emeralds on the black sash It fell, fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and shattered into pieces.

The aqua uniform loosened.

"Come and change my clothes." He said to Jin Wu, as if summoning someone from the county prince's mansion.

Jin Wu's eyes became colder, he raised his finger, and a maid stepped forward to help him, and took off his Taoist uniform for him.He is wearing a white sticker and sitting in a wheelchair.

The wind was icy cold.

The sky suddenly snowed.

The people around looked at him with malicious and mocking eyes.

This reminded him of the night at Tianshou Mountain, and the beginning of the reversal of fate-they thought that removing his clothes was already a humiliation.

But this kind of embarrassment and humiliation happened more than once, more than once.

The so-called clothes.

The so-called etiquette.

Became the most insignificant thing in this disaster.

Nobody cares.

He didn't have time to care.

Someone had already prepared pens and inks, so Lou Zhen started to draw with them.

At this time, Liao Yixin received some news and whispered a few words in Jin Wu's ear.

Jin Wu's expression changed: "What did you say?"

"It's absolutely true. It was the guard eunuch from Zhenbei Pass who escaped..."

Jin Wu had already stood up abruptly, he grabbed the cup of tea by his side, handed it to Zhao Yuan, and said, "Drink it."

This time he had no time to hide his ferocity in any way.

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment, and drank the tea in one gulp.

Jin Wu sneered, and said to Lou Zhen: "My lord, there is an emergency military report on the side wall, our family has to go first."

"Military newspaper? Is it serious?"

"Hey, no matter how serious it is, can it delay the adult's birthday? Everything is at our house, so don't worry." He comforted, and then glanced at Zhao Yuan, "The prince of the county has nowhere to go tonight, and he drank 'wine' again , and please take care of it. You can return it tomorrow."

Lou Zhen became transparent at first, and said with a smile: "I understand, I must entertain the county prince well."

Jin Wu left.

Lou Zhen didn't bother to continue the so-called hands-on conversation, and asked Zhao Yuan to be pushed away after talking too loudly.

The banquet was still going on, Xie Taichu said to Lu Jiuwan, "Uncle Master, let's go back first."

"Ah? What are you going to do?"

"Then there is something wrong with the tea." Xie Taichu said, "Your Highness cannot be allowed to stay here."

Without waiting for Lu Jiuwan's response, Xie Taichu had already quietly hidden among the servants who came in and out to deliver food.

The servants who pushed Zhao Yuan into the Nuan Pavilion of the main courtyard at the back were familiar with the road, walking very slowly along the way, and even Tao Shaochuan was stopped outside the courtyard.

Zhao Yuan felt hot at first, and thought it was because he drank a few glasses of wine, but after he was admitted to the hospital, he felt something was wrong.

The hotness came from the inside out, and it was difficult to fill in the desire. The body had reacted that shouldn't have happened, and he couldn't even maintain his posture, covering his chest and gasping for breath.This desire arose extremely quickly, and by the time it reached the bedside, it had already made his limbs go limp.

"Tea... what's in the tea..." he asked weakly, his eyes dim.

"I'm afraid the common people are drunk." The servant said, "What you drank just now was wine, where is the tea?"

The servant stretched out his arms to hug him, and carried him to the bed. Zhao Yuan sank into the quilt, and even lost his strength.

The whole person's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were confused.

A maid came forward to remove his clothes, but he hardly knew it.After being wiped clean, another gauze was worn.

The red candle is lit.

Soon Lou Zhen entered the room, went to Babu's bed, opened the curtain, and saw the former county king lying on the mandarin duck quilt, flipping around in a daze, his legs rubbing constantly, but he couldn't solve this problem .

Lou Zhen smiled, sat down on his side, and raised his hand to brush away his long hair that was wet with sweat.

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, and spit out two words: "Unfortunate..."

"It won't be uncomfortable soon." Lou Zhen comforted with a smile.

"At the beginning... At the beginning, I feel so uncomfortable..." Zhao Yuan said again.

Lou Zhen's face turned pale immediately: "I heard that the king of the county had a crush on a Taoist priest when he was in the capital. It turned out to be true. I still think about him at this time. Don't worry, the old man can also make the king of the county want to die. I promise to let the king of the county think about it again." Get up and thank Taichu!"

After he said this, he took the tonic medicine prepared by the maid from the table, drank it in one gulp, and it was ready after a while.

He was about to pounce on it and show off his majesty.

A huge gale blew up, and the closed door of the Nuan Pavilion was suddenly torn apart.Even Lou Zhen was pushed and shoved, and fell to the ground in a somersault.

With his head bleeding, he stood up and cursed, "What kind of thief—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Taichu standing at the door, the palm he used just now contained a sense of rage, because of the gas leaking out, the hairband broke, now his hair is loose behind him, he is dressed in black, his face is dark, The hostility leaked out.

Xie Taichu entered slowly, glanced at the beautiful scenery on the couch, his eyeballs moved, and looked up at Lou Zhen.

Before he could say a word, Lou Zhen's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he collapsed on the ground and trembled: "I, I, have nothing to do with me! It's the medicine given by Jin Wu! I haven't touched him yet! He doesn't have a single finger——Ning Shan Daoist, spare your life! Forgive your life!"

There was a faint storm brewing in his eyes, he only took two steps forward, the wind swept away, Lou Zhen seemed to have his throat clamped, and he dared not say a word anymore.

When Tao Shaochuan rushed in from the outside, he saw that Lou Zhen couldn't breathe due to the pressure of the strong wind, and his face was ashen.

"Taoist!" Shaochuan called him.

Xie Taichu has become a demon, how can he listen to what he says.

The strong wind was strong again, and even Tao Shaochuan was forced to move several feet away.

Seeing that Lou Zhen was about to die at the hands of Xie Taichu, Zhao Yuan, who was tortured by lust on the couch, called out in confusion: "Taichu."

The voice was weak, but Xie Taichu had regained his senses in an instant, put away his hostility, raised his hand, and threw Lou Zhen out.

"Take him out of the hospital." Xie Taichu said to Tao Shaochuan without looking back.

Seeing his strength, Tao Shaochuan didn't dare to speak too much, he dragged Lou Zhen out by the collar, and closed the courtyard door thoughtfully.

Xie Taichu turned his head to look at Zhao Yuan.

I don't know how powerful the potion was, and Jin Wu didn't know how much it took.Now Zhao Yuan is hot and pink under the gauze.

As soon as he leaned over, Zhao Yuan grabbed his arm. Although he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't wait to climb his arm up his shoulder, press him down, and hooked his neck.

"At the beginning, help me..."

Xie Taichu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but it caused him to tremble even more.

"Please, help me." He sobbed softly, "Help me..."

Tears slid down her cheeks, fell to her ears, and fell on the brocade quilt again.

"...Kaiji." Xie Taichu hesitated to speak.

But Zhao Yuan didn't give him a chance to refuse, he put his arms around his neck, and already raised his head and kissed his lips.

The world is vast.

The galaxy is vast.

Under the sky, what remained in his heart...

only one person
