...

"Ah...ah..."

The hot silver paste poured over the old Baotou's head, instantly burning his scalp and cheeks into blood and blood, and heart-wrenching shouts echoed throughout the dark room.

In a moment, the sad shouts slowly subsided, leaving only a strange pungent and burnt smell, and the sound of the skin slowly cracking...

"Mr. Military Advisor, the prisoner is dead..."

"Um……"

Standing at the door, facing the black room with his back to him, Xu Wenjing heard Zuo Shuo's words, took up a silk handkerchief and wiped his chin, and then said, "No need to delay, come with me to the ghost market. If the transaction is completed, perhaps the situation will be better than what the military governor expected..."

Zuo Shuo asked in confusion: "Mr. Military Advisor, my subordinates don't understand your intention. What is the connection between this ghost market and our delivery to Wei Ran to the military governor to be king?"

Xu Wenjing said, "Do you think I volunteered to come to God to take a break? In fact, I made the most meticulous layout for the Han King to win the capital as soon as possible. This is not clear to you for a while. Go back to the restaurant to settle the princess, and wait until night falls before leaving, and leave..."

After saying that, Xu Wenjing threw down the silk handkerchief and left the dark room with Zuo Shuo. However, the body of the old Baotou local snake was still sitting straight on the backrest chair, with white smoke still emitting from her head...

In the most expensive room in the restaurant, Wei Ying, who had been bathed for an hour, was refreshed and calm, half of her hand pillow was lying on her side on the spacious couch, wrapped her proud body tightly with a quilt. Under the service of two new maids, she was waiting for Xu Wenjing to bring her replaceable clothes.

Wei Ying was born in the royal family and was born with beauty. After washing away the filth of her body for several months, she was radiant. Her black and shiny hair hung like a waterfall and fragrant shoulders. Her flawless jade arms could clearly see the blue-purple capillaries. Her exposed jade feet trembled gently, and her lazy posture did not lose the delicate temperament of a beautiful woman.

In the incense burner in the room, the intoxicating fragrance of the peaceful god floated and rose, and the fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, making Wei Ying feel completely relaxed.

Wei Ying had beautiful eyes and a small jaw, enjoying the delicate massage of the maids comfortably. At this moment, she seemed to have wiped out all the fatigue and fear she had experienced in recent days.

Just at this moment, Xu Wenjing's soft call sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, Princess, I brought what you want..."

Wei Ying opened her eyes slightly and said to a maid next to her: "Go..."

The maid took the order and left. After opening the door, she saw Xu Wenjing asking someone to carry a box and wait outside the room for a long time.

Wei Ying said lazily outside the door through the gauze screen in front of the couch: "Xu Aiqing, why did it take so long to come back?"

Xu Wenjing bowed and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Princess, is a humble and ignorant person. He doesn't know that His Highness is a favorite, so he has visited all the silk shops in the city. He bought everything he likes, and now he can choose..."

Wei Ying showed a charming smile on her lips: "Xu Aiqing is really intent, I don't know how to thank you..."

Xu Wenjing said: "It is an honor to be able to serve Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness must not say such words..."

Wei Ying pondered for a moment, lowered her eyes and said, "Then it's a blessing for Xu Aiqing. I'm going to change my clothes now. Please wait for a while..."

"It should be done, I'm going to give up..."

Even if Xu Wenjing wanted to see Wei Ying's jade figure again, she would not be so stupid as to rush into the room in front of her subordinates. After bowing her hands, she stepped out of Wei Ying's door.

Half an hour later, Wei Ying came to the boarding hall packaged by Xu Wenjing with a brand new white and blue silk dress, supported by two maids.

Looking at Wei Ying, who was in a seductive posture, Xu Wenjing looked dull and couldn't take her eyes off her face. Her Adam's apple couldn't stop scrolling up and down.

Wei Ying frowned slightly, avoiding the eyes that Xu Wenjing cast, suppressed her beating heartstrings and said to him: "Xu Aiqing, you..."

Xu Wenjing hurriedly came back to her senses and bowed and said, "Oh, Your Highness, Princess, I am so humble and rude. I apologize to you. Please give me a seat..."

Wei Ying nodded slightly and came to the chairperson and sat down on the ground.

Xu Wenjing lowered her head and said to Wei Ying: "Your Highness, please allow Bei Zhi to cook dinner for you in person..."

Wei Yingqi said: "Xu Aiqing still knows how to cook delicious food?"

Xu Wenjing smiled and said, "I have been with the army for many years. If you want to eat exquisite food, you have to do it yourself. If Your Highness does not dislike you, I am willing to serve you..."

"Then I'll be happy with Xu Aiqing..."

Wei Ying did not refuse and waited for Xu Wenjing to cook the food with a straight attitude.

Xu Wenjing came to a low table ten steps away from Wei Ying, knelt and lit a small stove under a bronze plate. Then, poured oil on the plate and waited for the temperature to heat it up, and carefully placed the sliced ​​meat neatly. With a "wave" sound, a wisp of white smoke rose into the air.

Wei Ying silently watched Xu Wenjing's cooking process. At first, she felt that it was not very good, but soon bursts of fragrance came to her nose, making her unable to help but move her index finger...

"Your Highness, please use it slowly..."

Soon a plate of meat was fried. Xu Wenjing nodded at a maid next to Wei Ying. After obtaining permission, she personally sent it to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying looked at the piece of meat on the plate and couldn't help but pick up one piece. She raised her hand slightly, covered her cheeks with her wide sleeves, and then put the meat into her mouth.

The meat in his mouth melted instantly and the aroma was overflowing. Wei Ying couldn't help but eat it in one stutter, and she suddenly burst into tears.

After putting down the chopsticks, Wei Ying couldn't help asking: "Xu Aiqing, why is this meat so tender? Why has this palace never eaten it in the palace?"

Xu Wenjing said: "Your Highness, this is beef. After cutting it into thin slices, soak it in soft and tender with seasonings, and then fry or roast it. It will naturally melt in your mouth. I hope the princess will like it..." After that, she continued to fry the remaining meat.

Wei Ying nodded, picked up the chopsticks again and picked up a piece, put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly...

Soon, the total of seven dishes of beef was wiped out by Wei Ying. After eating some detoxified fruits and tea, she finally put down her chopsticks at me, handed the towels taken by the maid and wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Xu Wenjing and said:

"Xu Aiqing, thank you for your hospitality. I appreciate you very much. If I can restore my reputation, I will definitely recommend you to the court as an official in front of my father and the emperor.

However, Xu Aiqing, please be sure to contact the restoration of my reputation. I believe you will have a way to help me overcome the current difficulties..."

Xu Wenjing bowed and said, "Please rest assured by Your Highness Princess. This is a matter of humble position. Husband will do his best to help His Highness overcome the current difficulties."

Wei Ying sighed slightly, looked at Xu Wenjing carefully, and murmured: "I am trying to please him in front of Li Suwen and disdained him. Why is the local officials who only meet once willing to pay so much for me?"

"Your Highness Princess? What did you say just now?" Xu Wenjing asked.

Wei Ying shook her head slightly: "It's nothing. I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room to rest first..."

Xu Wenjing said understandingly: "It should be that Your Highness the Princess has been frightened for days. It is time to take a good rest. Please rest assured that this place is absolutely safe and guaranteed that no one will disturb you..."

Wei Ying stood up and nodded, walked towards the room with the help of a maid, and before walking out of the food hall, he looked back at Xu Wenjing with a slightly profound meaning.

After Wei Ying left, Xu Wenjing got up to leave the case, called Zuo Shuo to his side and asked, "Okay, the time is almost over, let's get up immediately."

...

As night fell, the city of Shendu was silent.

But there are some exceptions, such as the brothels are still brightly lit and crowded.

Xu Wenjing took Zuo Shuo, changed into a suit and dressed in a merchant dress, and came to a flower building called "Qingyuefang" in the west corner of the city...

Zuo Shuo looked at the female girl who was standing on the windowsill on the second floor to attract guests and whispered to Xu Wenjing: "Military advisor, what I learned from Baoshetou place, the entrance to the ghost market should be here, but I don't know how to get in?"

Xu Wenjing tightly cloaked on her body: "Go in first, let's talk about it. The gate of the ghost market should be within this Qingyuefang..."

The two of them strode into the gate of Qingyuefang, ignored the singer who was about to greet him, and found a conspicuous position in the hall to sit down.

After a while, a friend brewed tea and came to Xu Wenjing and asked, "Callant? You all come from other places, are you? You are so handsome. The girls in Qingyuefang can sing and dance. Do you want to choose a few?"

Xu Wenjing took out a golden seed from her arms and threw it into the clerk's hand and said, "Call your madam and say that a distinguished guest has arrived..."

The guy got the gold and couldn't stop laughing. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment, the younger one will go to our shopkeeper."

Shortly after the guy left, a madam about forty years old, with red flowers on her head and white frost on her face, came to Xu Wenjing with a smile, and said to him with a professional smile, "Oh~ Is the guest new here? Are you looking for me, the old lady, to help choose the right girl?"

Xu Wenjing smiled slightly, hooked her hand and asked the madam to sit down, then came to her and whispered: "Madam, I came here this time to ask you to take me to a place. I wonder how to get there at the gate of this ghost market?"

After saying that, Xu Wenjing showed off an iron coin that he took off from Lao Baotou.

When the madam saw the iron coin, her pupils shrank slightly and she said vigilantly: "Keep, why can't I understand anything you are saying? What a ghost market, I haven't heard of it..."

How could the madam's subtle and nervous movement be hidden from Xu Wenjing's eyes? He smiled and said, "Old Baotou introduced me. I want to have some business talks with the master. Don't hide it anymore..."

Seeing this, the madam was silent for a while, took the iron coin, stood up and shouted to the couple: "All greet some guests..."

Then he said to Xu Wenjing and the others: "Come with me..."

Afterwards, Xu Wenjing and Zuo Shuo followed the madam away from the noisy crowd and came to a corner of the kitchen. After greeting a chef, they took them to the chicken coop in the backyard.

"This is the entrance to the ghost market..." The madam lit a torch and said to Xu Wenjing, "I believe that the rules of the ghost market have been told to you, so I will not be burdened. I can only take you to the entrance. As for whether you can see the master and whether you can come out alive, it has nothing to do with me."

Xu Wenjing nodded, and with Zuo Shuo, he followed the madam into the chicken coop, but found that there was a bottomless secret passage inside.

After the two of them followed the steps to the bottom of the secret passage, what came into view was a moving lake...
Chapter completed!
