【Chapter 155, Beacon in Troubled Times-05】

When Ye Qi came to this world, the gatekeeper told him, "The role you want to play is the top card of Jiangzhou Tianxianglou, a singer who sells her skills but not her body. She is good at guzheng, pipa, flute and other instruments, and has a beautiful singing voice. , there are countless young masters from rich families spending a lot of money on you, please play a good role and wait for the case to happen."

Ye Qi looked at her gauze dress in women's clothing, and almost dropped the pipa in her arms.

Is Ace of Hearts sick? ! Although he is a student of the Conservatory of Music, he likes to sing, but there were men who could sing in ancient times, why should he be asked to dress up as a woman, and go to the brothel to act as a diva without selling himself? !

If it wasn't for the failure to pass the level and be eliminated, Ye Qi wanted to just give up the mission at that time...

For the past two days in Jiangzhou, he has been under the control of "Aunt Qing", the owner of Tianxianglou, and he couldn't get out of Tianxianglou. Aunt Qing told him that there is a performance tonight, and he needs to play a few songs and sing a few songs in person. , to thank the benefactor.

Ye Qi could only grit his teeth and practice the tune in the room.

Fortunately, he already has a foundation in music, plus the body memory that was forcibly instilled by the gatekeepers when he entered the secret room. After two days of practice, he has perfected folk music such as pipa, guzheng, and flute, and the songs to be sung are also ready.

He hadn't seen a single teammate in the past two days, so he thought the case would happen in the brothel.

Just about to perform tonight, I saw Team Yu, Lao Mo, and Mr. Shao sitting in the audience, and there was a person dressed in women's clothing next to Team Yu, the light was too dark to see clearly. Ye Qi looked down the stage and met Shao Qingge's eyes. Boss Shao sipped his tea shamelessly. Ye Qi blushed in embarrassment. He wished he could smash the pipa on the spot and quit!

At this moment, Aunt Qing leaned into his ear and said, "Xiaoye, you can start now."

Ye Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and play the pipa.

The crisp and melodious melody of the pipa sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate, and the entire Tianxiang Tower fell silent in an instant. Needless to say, Ye Qi really had a knack for playing a melodious and long tune, which quickly brought the emotions of the guests into it.

The first melody was very soft and beautiful, and everyone was intoxicated by it. Suddenly, the melody took a sharp turn, like thousands of troops crossing the border, and the ground was full of gunpowder and war. The passionate melody made people's spirits tense. He plucked the strings quickly, almost breaking the strings of the pipa.

The second half of the piece has been tense. Until the end, the clanking voice stopped abruptly, and the melody was soul-stirring, as if leading the audience through a thrilling battle.

Tianxianglou was quiet for a moment, followed by deafening applause: "Good!"

Aunt Qing arranged for people to walk among the guests with plates, and many young masters from rich families took out large pieces of silver and threw them in. The plate could hardly hold it. It can be seen that Ye Qi's performance will definitely make Tianxianglou The boss earns a lot of money.

Pipa, Guzheng and a few songs played and sung, Tianxianglou continued to applaud.

After the performance, Ye Qi got up and saluted towards the auditorium.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Well played! It is worthy of being the top card of Tianxianglou, as expected, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times." Walking out was a young man from a rich family, dressed in a dark red gown, with long hair. With a ribbon of the same color tied on his waist, he looks quite handsome, but unfortunately he smells of alcohol, and Ye Qi can smell the alcohol on him from a long distance away.

Someone nearby whispered: "Isn't this Young Master Lin?" "The Lin Shaobo who is engaged to the eldest lady of the Wangfu?" "Yes, I heard that he often goes to brothels and has an affair with famous prostitutes. I didn't expect today Changed his taste, he actually came to Tianxiang Tower to listen to the music..." "He is really courageous, he will get married next month, and he drinks flower wine every day..."

Yu Hanjiang listened to the discussions around him, and looked at Xiao Lou: "It's the fiancé of the eldest lady of the palace."

Xiao Lou stared at Young Master Lin's direction thoughtfully: "It seems that he is indeed as romantic as the rumors."

Lao Mo lowered his voice: "People say that Young Master Lin's engagement to Miss Wangfu was ordered by his parents. He doesn't like old-fashioned young ladies at all, and he hangs around the flowers all day to express his dissatisfaction with this marriage. There are also people who gossip Said that he had several lovers outside."

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "No matter how much you don't like it, after all, your fiancée is the prince's daughter. Does he not give face to the eldest lady, even the prince? It's unreasonable to spend time like this."

Old Mo said: "Although he is the eldest son in the Lin family, he is also a concubine. His mother is a concubine and has passed away long ago. The marriage was arranged by his father. Before the engagement, he had never met the eldest lady of the Wangfu. Maybe Is it because you are not happy in your heart that you vent in this way?"

Shao Qingge said with great interest: "About the Lin family, I also heard some gossip in Qingcheng. Our Shao family has business cooperation with the Lin family. The Lin family is the richest salt merchant in the Qi Dynasty. This young master Lin Shaobo does not have any real power in his hands, it is said that he is just a showman. The second young master and the third young master are stronger than him, the second young master works in the capital's official department, and the third young master is the heir to the Lin family's property."

Xiao Loudao: "In this way, he and the young lady of the Wangfu are actually well-matched? Both of them are the eldest, but neither was born to a regular wife, and they have no status in the family."

Mo Xuemin said: "The problem is that this young master Lin has not restrained his debauchery style since he got engaged, and the palace doesn't seem to care much about him."

Xiao Lou also had some doubts in his heart, logically speaking, where is the prince's daughter?

I'm afraid it's a concubine born to a concubine, she is also a noble royal relative, a bunch of wealthy businessmen and ministers will rush to the door to ask for marriage, the prince should not be short of money, how could he fall in love with such a son-in-law? Does he, as the future father-in-law, completely care about spending time, drinking, and ruining his reputation?

Either the prince doesn't care about the eldest daughter, or the Lin family has reached an agreement with the palace.

Xiao Lou was frowning and thinking, at this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd.

It turned out that Lin Shaobo took out an ingot of silver directly from his purse, and stuffed it into Ye Qi's hand with a smile: "Miss Ye is beautiful and talented, it's a pity to stay in Tianxiang Tower, why don't you give me a silver coin tonight?" Redeem for you, you follow me and become my concubine in the future, I will never treat you badly, how about it?"

Ye Qi: "..."

With Nima! Believe it or not, I smashed my pipa to death?

Ye Qi resisted the urge to swear, quickly took a step back, and said, "My lord, you are joking, folk girls do not sell themselves as artisans."

Lin Shaobo took out two ingots of silver from his purse and handed them to the boss, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qing, I rarely come to your Tianxiang Tower, I didn't know that your girls are so special. I want to help Miss Ye redeem her body, I wonder if Aunt Qing will give me this face?"

The boss took the money and said: "The rule of our Tianxiang Building is to perform art and not sell yourself, but you can be our lady Ye's distinguished guest and let her play a few songs for you alone."

"Alright, then please." Lin Shaobo was about to take a step forward to pull Yeqi's hand, but at this moment, a fan suddenly blocked his way. Lin Shaobo raised his head suspiciously, and met a pair of beautiful Peach Blossom Eyes.

The man was tall, with extraordinary handsome features, and a slight smile on his face, but when he looked at him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a shocking sharpness flashed in his eyes.

Lin Shaobo was stunned: "Who is this young master?"

Shao Qingge said with a smile: "Miss Ye is my friend, let me have the chance to be alone with her tonight."

After finishing speaking, he took out an ingot of gold directly from the purse.

One ingot of gold is equivalent to ten ingots of silver, and it is clear at a glance who is richer.

The boss's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled at Shao Qingge and said, "What's the name of this young master?"

Shao Qingge said in a low voice: "My surname is Shao, I have something to say to Miss Ye, please ask Aunt Qing to arrange it."

Aunt Qing took Shao Qingge and Ye Qi upstairs, and there was a burst of gossip around her. She never expected to come to Tianxiang Tower to watch the fun, and actually saw two rich young masters vying for the top spot——and Young Master Lin even fought What a game to lose!

Lin Shaobo was surrounded by spectators, his face was not very good-looking, so he simply pretended to be drunk, turned around and ran away.

Ye Qi followed Shao Qingge to the box on the second floor with a complicated expression. The boss left after saying "Treat Mr. Shao well".

Ye Qi closed the door, breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down on the stool, threw the pipa to the side, picked up a cup of tea and drank it—his throat was a little dry, and he needed to moisten his throat before he could speak.

Shao Qingge joked with a smile: "Miss Ye, won't you pour me a cup of tea?"

Ye Qi almost spit out his tea: "Are you still in the mood to joke? I want to play the role of a diva, and I've been in this crappy place like Tianxiang Tower for two days, and I can't get out at all. I'm going crazy!"

At this moment, Aunt Qing suddenly passed by the door, and Ye Qi stood up like an electric shock, picked up the teapot, poured tea for Shao Qingge with a smile on his face, and said in a soft voice that made one's bones crumble, "Young Master Shao, please drink Tea, please forgive me if the girl doesn't take good care of her."

Shao Qingge couldn't laugh or cry - this little guy is also a good showman!

After the boss left, Ye Qi put away his smile, sat down helplessly, and said in a soft voice, "I just saw Captain Yu and Lao Mo are also in the audience, what's going on?"

Shao Qingge said: "There is also Professor Xiao, didn't you see it?"

Ye Qi was stunned, and subconsciously said: "No, there are only you three men."

Shao Qingge suppressed a smile and said, "The beauty sitting next to Lord Yu is dressed up by Professor Xiao. He is just like you, in the setting of this world, he is also dressed as a woman."

Ye Qi finally couldn't hold back this time, and spouted out a mouthful of tea, almost spraying Shao Qingge all over his face.

Fortunately, Shao Qingge was quick-witted and dodged quickly.

Ye Qi coughed a few times, and said in disbelief, "Professor Xiao also wants to dress up as a woman?" He couldn't imagine it.

Shao Qingge said: "Besides, she is pretending to be Yu Hanjiang's wife."

Ye Qi: "..."

This is even more unimaginable, okay?

Shao Qingge looked at him with a smile: "Do you feel better?"

Ye Qi thought about it carefully, and said angrily: "Is it worse for me? He pretends to be Yu Dui's wife, at least Yu Dui will cover him, and I was directly thrown into the brothel! I was so stunned, I really wanted to throw my hands away. Dry!"

Seeing his angrily expression of almost wanting to chop the gatekeeper a hundred times, Shao Qingge couldn't help laughing.

Ye Qi's expression was too vivid. She was obviously dressed as a lady. She was wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt and a beautiful face and cute, but she was angry and was like a culprit.

Shao Qingge held back his laughter and comforted him in a low voice: "Okay, it's just role-playing, you'll be wronged for a few days. Team Yu means that since you are arranged in Tianxiang Tower, the case may be related to Tianxiang Tower, so you can rest assured Look for clues, and we will secretly protect you."

After hearing this, Ye Qi calmed down: "Well, I understand."

Shao Qingge said: "I am the young master of a wealthy businessman in Qingcheng. If I come to a brothel to drink flowers and wine, meeting you will not attract suspicion. That's why they asked me to come and find you alone. I

I will give the boss enough money to hire you, and I will come to you every night in the future, so you don't have to deal with other guests. "

Ye Qi's face flushed suddenly: "This...why does it sound a bit strange?"

Shao Qingge said solemnly: "It's not surprising, the setting is like this. The rules of your Tianxiang Building, the top girl who pays the most money can chat alone with her. If I don't hire you, you can't face those strangers The man plays the piano and sings, right?"

Ye Qi's hairs stood on end, and he immediately said, "Okay, then I might as well chat with you!" He took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, and then asked curiously, "What are the identities of the others?"

Shao Qingge said: "Yu Hanjiang is the new magistrate of Jiangzhou, Xiao Lou is his wife, Lao Mo is the master, and Long Sen is the nursing home of the Wangfu. We haven't found Teacher Qu and Liu Qiao yet. Team Yu asked me to ask you, Qu The teacher is good at dancing, is he also in Tianxiang Tower?"

Ye Qi immediately shook his head: "She's not here. When I first found out that I became a singer, I also wondered if Teacher Qu might be a dancer. I went to the dance practice place to look for her several times, but I didn't see her, and I went to the boss As usual, there is no girl surnamed Qu in the entire Tianxiang Tower."

Shao Qingge frowned, and said: "It seems that we have to continue looking for her. Yu Hanjiang is the magistrate, and it is not suitable to meet you directly. I will be in charge of spreading the word in the future. We speculate that the case should happen in the palace."

Ye Qi was stunned, and suddenly said: "Wangfu? On the 15th day, the prince's birthday, we rehearsed a program to perform in the Wangfu."

Shao Qingge smiled: "That's right, all of us went to the palace for different reasons, the fifteenth day should be a critical date, you should prepare in advance."

Ye Qi nodded seriously: "Understood."

Shao Qingge continued: "Also, be careful here alone, can teleportation cards be used?"

Ye Qi said: "Yes, all the instrument control cards are banned, and the eavesdropping cards can't be used either. I only have teleportation cards in my card bag. I pretended to be able to do light work, so it's okay to escape after an accident."

Only then did Shao Qingge feel relieved. He thought for a while, and said: "Well, the card [Wealthy and Willful] I drew can copy cards, and all attack and control cards in this world are banned. If your teleportation card is used as a light skill, it will It’s very convenient, I’ll make a copy and hand it over to Team Yu for arrangement.”

Ye Qi said in pain: "Copying a card will cost you 5 million gold coins..."

Shao Qingge rubbed his forehead helplessly: "I can't help it, the cards I draw are just such prodigals."

Ye Qi was depressed: "You gave the boss an ingot of gold to meet me just now, didn't you?"

Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, this time I came to Jiangzhou, I brought several boxes of gold, enough to spend."

Ye Qi: "..."

Wherever the father of the gold master goes, he is the father of the gold master.

The author has something to say: I have something to do at home in the past two days, and I have to go out tomorrow. The update at noon will be in the afternoon, and I will review it during dinner time.

The next chapter begins with the plot, good night everyone!
