After the transformation, I became the white moonlight of good and evil
Chapter 173 Lord Zhou Mu
Suxin is the most prosperous town in Suzhou and the central hub of the state. The governor has lived here for more than ten years.
At that time, the governor entered the official career as a top three scholar, and in a few years he rose rapidly to become the governor of Suzhou. Under his rule, the state has become the richest state in the Shang Dynasty, attracting countless people to yearn for it.
Under the night sky, in the most prosperous district in the city, a theater was brightly lit.
The literati and elegant guests sitting inside sat leisurely and elegantly at the pear wood tables, listening to the male and female actors in the theater singing loudly on the stage with graceful steps and fluttering sleeves.
The unique opera tune was chanted out from the female role.
"What can I do about my beauty that only stays in the capital? What can I do about my shallow fate and longing for you?"
"Listen to this Beijing tourist singing~~"
In such a large garden, one can only listen to the melodious tunes accompanying the opera, which are so captivating and appealing.
In a private room in the theater.
The middle-aged man in blue was dressed like a scholar. Although he had an ordinary appearance, his eyes were unforgettable once you looked into them. You would be captivated by his temperament.
Listening to the opera music outside the curtain, a middle-aged scholar with a beard on his lip rested his forehead on the table with his eyes closed, concentrating as if he was lost in memories.
Just when he was looking puzzled, a steady sound of footsteps was heard outside the curtain of the private room, followed by the respectful voice of the young man.
"Sir Rong, I have something important to report."
Rong Ting slowly opened his eyes, blinked to dispel the memories in his eyes, raised his hand to take the teacup and filled it, and said softly: "Come in."
"Yes, my lord."
As the gauze curtain was lifted, a handsome and elegant young man walked in. He approached with quick steps and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped.
"Sit down and talk."
He raised his hand and placed the tea in front of the heroic young man, then turned his gaze to the stage where the opera was being performed.
The young man had followed the master for many years and knew his character, so he was not polite. He raised his hand and drank the tea in one gulp, just like a cow chewing a piece of dandelion, full of martial arts habits.
"Sir, I have received news that a fairy has appeared in the fishing village north of Lianjiang City."
Although Rong Ting was listening to the opera, he also paid attention to what the young man said. Hearing this, he said casually, "Isn't it the news released by the Red Eyebrows again?"
The young man had a strange look on his face and shook his head slowly.
"According to our insider, this time it wasn't done by those rats. Instead, it was definitely passed down from the grassroots level."
As he said this, he wanted to drink another sip of water, but when he saw that there was no water in the cup, he poured himself another one.
"Oh? That's interesting."
Rong Ting became interested and finally moved his eyes away from the stage to look at the tall young man.
The young man couldn't help but grin when he saw that he had aroused the adult's interest.
"Sir, the intelligence uploaded this time is backed by official letters and official seals at each checkpoint, so it's pretty reliable. But the news is a bit weird..."
"Weird? What do you mean?"
The young man reached into his arms and spoke slowly.
"This fairyland is an ice coffin found on a fishing net by villagers. Inside the coffin is a woman. She is very beautiful and looks like a disaster for the country. She is naked, with only bright red stamens covering her body."
The middle-aged man's bright eyes twinkled, and he smiled and said, "This is rare, but it is far from the weird rumors in the past."
"I haven't finished yet."
At this time, he finally took out a scroll from his arms and placed it on the table. His heroic face became even more awkward.
"It's this woman, this woman..."
Hey~
He stamped his feet, not knowing what to say, and could only unroll the drawing paper and spread it on the table.
"My Lord, please read it yourself."
Rong Ting's curiosity was aroused, and he slowly stood up so that he could see the whole picture better. As the paper was spread out, a woman's face was revealed.
The face was very familiar to him and he couldn't help but smile after seeing it.
"You kid, why did you move my wife's portrait here? I never noticed you being so out of line normally."
Upon seeing this, the young man hurriedly came to the governor's side and pointed at the portrait.
"Sir, you have wronged me. This portrait was sent to me from Lianjiang City. I was puzzled when I received it, but I saw that all the officials who handled it signed and stamped it, so it cannot be forged."
Rong Ting's smile slowly faded, and he frowned as he looked at the several names and official seals at the bottom of the scroll, then he looked at the woman in the painting, and heard the young man continue.
"I have checked many places to make sure that no outsider has touched this scroll. Although this woman looks similar to your wife, she is different upon closer inspection."
At this point he pursed his lips and spoke carefully: "The news said that this painting failed to depict the appearance of this fairy, which is really a pity in life."
Rong Ting looked at these words with an inexplicable expression. His hands behind his back trembled slightly, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
"This is quite strange."
He took a deep breath, raised his head, rolled up the scroll and whispered, "Where is this person now?"
The young man straightened his body and said respectfully, "Since I got the news, I have boarded a boat at the ferry crossing of Lianjiang City and am on the way to Suxin along the river. According to the letter, it should take half a month. Even if the water route is unobstructed, it will still take more than a month to reach us."
More than a month?
Rong Ting came back to his senses from his memories and thought carefully.
Then he slowly and softly expressed his thoughts, which made the handsome young man stunned and his eyes filled with admiration.
"Okay, go ahead and do it. Be careful not to show your true colors."
The young man clasped his fists in agreement, then turned around and strode away.
The middle-aged man slowly sat back at the table, looking at the person in the painting inch by inch. His fingertips slid across the slightly blurry cheek, and his memory became clearer.
He raised his hand to pour himself some tea, but found that the pot was empty. The young man drank it all. He couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.
Seeing this, he lost interest in listening any further, stood up, put away the scroll, and quickly walked out of the private room. The guards hiding around him followed him silently, watching the governor get on the carriage led by his attendants and drive towards the mansion.
At this time, in a courtyard in the city, the courtyard was simple without much decoration, with rough bluestone paving the ground and only three or two houses scattered around. It did not look like the residence of a high-ranking official who ruled over an entire continent at all.
In the house on the far left, a woman in a pink dress is combing her long black hair in front of a bronze mirror. Her every move exudes seductive charm.
In the dim mirror, I saw the image of a beautiful woman, whose fox eyes made her look even more charming.
Blinking her seductive eyes, the woman slightly opened her lips and took a piece of rouge to dye her lips red. Looking at her appearance, she couldn't help but flash a little pride.
If Concubine Yu were here, she would suddenly discover that this woman looked 30% similar to herself.
She has some of Yu Fei's features, which makes her extremely beautiful.
