Chapter 485: Turning Point
"I heard that Qingqing, the courtesan of Fengjiao Tower, wants to redeem herself."
“Is this true or false?”
"It's true. The madam of Fengjiaolou said it herself. She even paid for her own redemption."
"That must be hundreds of thousands of silver coins. This Qingqing girl is really rich."
Some were surprised, some were regretful.
"That's nothing. I heard that Miss Qingqing redeemed herself because she had a crush on someone, the second son of the Wang family. She wanted to be his concubine."
"The second son of the Wang family? The one who failed the imperial examination several times and is always boasting? How could Miss Qingqing fall for such a man?"
Jicheng is a small county town.
There weren't many major events throughout the year, so the story of the courtesan and the young man became the gossip headlines and was discussed on the streets.
"I'm so pissed off. How can a saint like me not be as good as Qingqing? I made the cold drink myself, but that bastard Lin Doudou refused it."
In the yard.
A woman with fair skin and delicate features angrily slammed the water glass on the table.
At the side, an equally stunning woman was lying leisurely on a rattan chair. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "In Lin Doudou's heart, you are not even as good as a hair of that Qingqing girl."
"Don't mock me, you think you are older than me, don't forget that you are one year older than me, you yellow-faced woman!"
"you!"
The woman on the rattan chair couldn't lie down anymore. She was only eighteen years old, so how could she become a yellow-faced woman?
If we talk about yellow-faced women, the woman sitting in meditation under the locust tree is the yellow-faced woman.
No one would believe that in this small courtyard, there lived the princess of the Shang Dynasty, the saint of the nine-tailed fox clan, and the Taoist's number one female prodigy, Yu Shuangxue.
Two years ago, when the three women were abducted here by a mysterious man, they were terrified and always thought about escaping.
But after a while, the three women no longer planned to escape.
Because here, they gain more.
Take the Fifth Princess of the Shang Dynasty for example. She was shocked by the collection of books in the study in this courtyard. There were not only many ancient books that had been lost, but the contents of many of the books also opened a new door for her.
What kind of great scholar can write such a thorough analysis of the world, the relationship between monarchy and the people, power and wealth?
As a princess of the Shang Dynasty, although the royal family had long since withdrawn from the center of power, she believed that the royal family still had to be responsible for the people. After all, many of the royal family's expenses came from taxes paid by the people.
Now that the court is corrupt, she has been wondering if there is any way to save it. These books have given her a lot of inspiration.
She wouldn't leave until she had finished reading all the books in the collection.
Although the Saint of the Nine-tailed Fox did not read books, the mysterious man taught her many magical powers of the demon clan. Some of these magical powers were not even available in the clan, and several of them were powerful magical powers that were recorded in the clan but have been lost.
Considering her magical powers, she would be willing to be not only a maid but also a concubine.
What’s hateful is that Lin Doudou only has his sister Qingqing in his heart.
They just didn't understand, how could an ordinary courtesan be comparable to the three of them?
"You said Qingqing is getting married soon, what will Lin Doudou do?"
"Killing the bride?"
"He doesn't have the guts to try to steal the bride. I'm afraid he'll be sad for days. He might even be crying alone in his bed."
…
…
Time can wash away many people.
The news of an courtesan marrying a young man as a concubine was a hot topic a year ago, but few people mentioned it a year later.
No one knew that Master Wang only bought a house for the courtesan and named it Canghua Pavilion, but did not bring her back home to live. He explained to Miss Qingqing that this was to save her from being bothered by trivial matters at home.
Three months later, the people of Jiannan Road, where Ji County was located, rebelled and attacked twelve cities overnight. Most of the counties in Jiannan Road fell.
Ji County also could not escape this disaster.
The rebel team was originally composed of workers in some workshops. They were cheated by unscrupulous merchants and could not get their wages, so they killed the merchants and were finally forced to rebel.
Wherever the rebels went, the merchants and wealthy families were looted, and the looted money and food were distributed to the poor people, who then joined the rebels one after another.
In just half a month, the rebel army expanded from a few thousand people to hundreds of thousands of people.
But what surprised the people of Ji County was that the Wang family, the largest merchant in Ji County, was not looted. Even the second son of the Wang family became a general of the rebel army.
No one knew that on the first night when the rebels entered the city, a young man stood guard at the gate of a house to protect the people inside from the rebels.
After three consecutive nights of confirmation that the rebels would not rob civilians, the young man stopped keeping watch and followed his master out of the city to slay demons.
What no one knew was that on the fourth night, the second son of the Wang family led the leader of the rebel army into this yard. An hour later, shrill screams were heard from the yard.
…
…
Wang family!
Big red lanterns are hung high, and people come in and out in an endless stream.
The second son of the Wang family married the sister of the leader of the rebel army. As Ji County had been occupied by the rebel army, naturally there were many people who came to the banquet, even people from other cities came.
The banquet was set up from the Wang family’s gate to the street entrance.
While everyone was smiling and having fun, a young man was sharpening the long sword in his hand under the moonlight.
The blade reflected the cold light of the moon.
Not far away, three women were standing there.
"It looks like there will be a river of blood in Jicheng tonight."
"Once this happens, we can no longer stay in Jicheng. What are you two going to do?"
"Go back to Zhenqing Sect." Yu Shuangxue replied coldly.
"Liang Xin, what about you?"
"Return to the palace. The Shang Dynasty is now in a precarious situation."
"It's boring. You all left. Looks like I'm the only one left to travel the world with Lin Doudou. This secular world is much more interesting than the mountains."
The saint of the nine-tailed fox clan said it in a boring way, but excitement appeared on her pretty face. After the two women left, she would take Lin Doudou back to the clan to get married.
Since Lin Doudou doesn't agree, let's make it a done deal.
Anyway, that's what the two mysterious seniors meant. As long as the two mysterious seniors don't object, Lin Doudou's strength is within her control.
…
…
Somewhere further away.
"Old Stone, isn't this a bit too much?"
"Is it a big deal? We didn't plan this. It all developed naturally to this point. This is God's will."
"That's right . Apart from finding three wives for this guy Lin Ye, we didn't do anything else."
The two men were shirking responsibility in their conversation, but one could hear their excitement from their tone.
After tonight, Lin Ye will travel around the world.
Hehehehe!
