After usurping the throne, he died

??The acrobatic troupe is also surrounded by a group of people, but fortunately they are performing on a high platform, so the people in the back row can see clearly.

??Shi He and Mu Xiang stood far away. They were originally two people with extraordinary temperament, but because of the tea mug and sugar painting in their hands, they were a little more smoky.

??But I didn’t see any special acrobatics. It was still a yearly practice of breaking boulders with bare hands, jumping through fire rings, and throwing bowls and so on.

?? But ordinary people still watched it with great interest, and everyone clapped their hands and applauded with great enthusiasm.

??Mu Xiang glanced at Shi He, and found that he was looking at the two bricks that were smashed by the thin man, so he was a little dissatisfied: "I will too."

??Actually, splitting bricks with bare hands is not difficult for those who have practiced martial arts. Although Mu Xiang learned it late and his body is also weak, it does not prevent him from being able to split a brick.

?? Shi He hummed: "But his stone is fake."

"..." Mu Xiang asked, "Do you know martial arts?"

"A little bit." Shi He nodded.

??The two people in the audience have seen through all the mysteries on the stage, but the stage is still going on.

??An old man wrapped in a turban stepped forward and said, "Today we have a finale, do you want to watch it?"

?? The audience chorused: "Think!"

??The old man chuckled: "Speak louder, do you want to!?"

??"think!!"

?? "Okay, I'll prepare it for everyone." The old man said with a smile, "Today is the Gardenia Fragrance Festival, and I will feast your eyes on it. Everyone, please pay attention."

??Someone in the audience shouted impatiently: "Look at it, hurry up!"

"Don't worry, big brother." The old man reassured him, and saw that the people from the acrobatic troupe carried a wooden box the size of a coffin to the stage. After opening it, there was no one inside. The old man turned the wooden box and showed it around. : "Look clearly, is there something in here?"

??"No!"

??Mu Xiang looked at it seriously, half of the sugar painting in his hand had been eaten, and the gardenia looked like it had been destroyed too much.

?? There was no one inside the wooden box, but when it fell down and was lifted up by covering it with a roll of black cloth, there was a thumping sound inside.

??After the door of the wooden box was opened, a beautiful woman appeared inside, wearing fiery red clothes that were a little revealing to Daxiang. The fabric was extremely thin and full of exotic style.

??Half of her upper arms, white waist and even calves were exposed, and Mu Xiang heard the gasping sounds of several men around her.

?? really feast for the eyes.

??Mu Xiang went to see Yan Shihe again, and found that he had been looking at that exotic beauty, feeling even more upset: "Master Guoshi, do you look good?"

"It's okay." Shi He looked away, "Your Highness, stay away from her."

??Mu Xiang felt strangely numb in his heart, and before he had time to speak, he heard the old man on the stage say loudly: "Everyone, this is today's grand finale—to transform into a living person!"

?? "Wrong!" A man in the audience booed, "This should be called a big beauty!"

?? When Mu Xiang heard the reputation, this person turned out to be Chen Ke, Chen Luo's younger brother. Wen Yingruan was no longer by his side, so maybe Wen Yingzhuo had taken him back.

??It seems that Wen Yingzhuo really did not wrong Chen Ke, he is indeed romantic.

?? "This judge is very right!" The old man smiled, "Our lady is indeed a beauty. She came from the Southern Region and is a virgin. She wants to live comfortably in this capital."

??The audience was in an uproar and whispered.

?? "Look, everyone, here is the first couplet of a poem, whoever can write the second couplet and satisfy the girl, everyone can take the girl home."

??Mu Xiang frowned: "Sell someone?"

??Human trafficking is a violation of the king's law in Daxiang. The reason is that the former prince Mu Yu went south to the black market and saw many cruel acts of slave trade. After three months, he succeeded in getting Mu Huaihe's consent to promulgate this new law. law.

??Human traffickers will be imprisoned for a minimum of three years once they are reported. Among them, child trafficking is the most egregious and should be punished by death.

??Of course, there are too many loopholes in this law that can be exploited. For example, if there is no one to report it, it will be fine?For example, if the trafficked person is voluntary and defends him, he cannot be convicted.

??Otherwise, none of the bosses and bustards in the place of Fireworks and Willow Lane will be able to escape.

??Shi He said: "It can't be called."

??Mu Xiang looked at the smiling woman on the stage. This is indeed not considered trafficking in women. On the one hand, the woman seems to be voluntary, and on the other hand, there is no money transaction involved.

??The first couplet of that poem was not difficult. At first, everyone was still hesitant, but soon some men who could not hold back their beauty began to try the second couplet.

?? But no matter how ingeniously right, the woman will shake her head.

??Mu Xiang saw some tricks: "Is she picking someone?"

??Shi He nodded slightly: "Your Highness, stay away from her, this is a Gu girl."

?? "Gu girl?"

??Mu Xiang was slightly taken aback. He had heard that although the number of alien races in the Southern Region was small, all of them, regardless of gender, were very good at using Gu...

??His pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly remembered the memorial that he had approved before. 67 people died in the Nightless City in a few months, all of them died in strange ways. Walking hundreds of miles away from the Nightless City, there are alien races in the southern region, where there is drought all year round. It is extremely difficult to survive, so only such a group takes root from generation to generation.

??Shi He said again: "Those bells are all used to control Gu worms."

??Mu Xiang took a closer look, and found that the woman's forehead, waist, wrists, and ankles were all tied with red strings, and there were countless bells hanging from the red strings, but the strange thing was that she didn't make any abnormal noise when she walked.

??He couldn't help but frowned again: "What does she want to do?"

??And if the foreigners from the Southern Region want to enter Daxiang, they can only pass through the Nightless City. However, so many people have died in the Nightless City. I am afraid that they have already been prepared against the Southern Regions. How can they easily pass through the border?

?? "Follow me and take a look."

?? While they were talking, the beauty from the Southern Region had already been taken away. Mu Xiang took a closer look and found that it was Chen Ke.

"I'll go too." Mu Xiang followed behind Shi He and asked, "What is the next couplet for him?"

??After Shi He answered, Mu Xiang sneered: "It seems that he is really picking someone."

??Even if he doesn't understand poetry, he can still feel that this second couplet is not brilliant, but he was chosen by that beauty from the southern region. He really chose a good family for survival?

??The two walked behind Chen Ke, he hugged the beauty's waist, and walked towards the fireworks and willow alley.

?? Mu Xiang and Shi He stood in front of the famous Willow Tower in the capital, and looked at each other.

?? "Both young masters, come in and play~" The woman's charming voice caught her ears, and she was about to post it.

??Mu Xiang pulled Shi He back a step: "Go in?"

?? Shi He said: "If His Highness wants to find out his identity, he has to enter."

After half a stick of incense, they sat down in the private room on the third floor, and Mu Xiang took the initiative to choose a pleasing one from a row of beauties to stay.

?? The bustard smiled and asked, "Is one girl enough?"

??Mu Xiang: "Enough."

??The old bustard suddenly realized that he couldn't tell if he just wanted to play with the same person!

?? He took the other girls to retreat, and the girl who stayed behind was about to stick to Mu Xiang: "My lord, my slave's name is Lianzhi..."

??Mu Xiang didn't intend to push her away, but he couldn't bear the approach of others, so when Lian Zhi touched his chest, he suddenly slapped the back of his neck and knocked her out.

??Shi He: "...Didn't His Highness want to ask questions?"

??Mu Xiang paused for a second, found a long cloth in the room, tied Lian Zhi's hands behind his back, and then splashed the tea on the table to wake him up.

?? Lianzhi slowly woke up, and the first reaction when she found herself tied up was to shout: "Help..."

?? But the last word was swallowed abruptly, because a dagger was pressed against her neck.

??Mu Xiang stood beside Lian Zhi, holding a dagger in his hand: "I don't intend to hurt you, I just want to ask the girl a few questions."

?? Lianzhi nodded stiffly: "Excuse me, my lords."

??Shi He said: "Do you know Mr. Chen?"

?? "Which Mr. Chen?" Lianzhi blinked, "I can't count the number of Mr. Chen who serves in my family..."

??Mu Xiang: "..."

??Shi He was calm, and his tone was still light: "Young Master Chen of the Chen Mansion."

?? Lianzhi opened her eyes wide: "Young Master, you mean Master Chen Ke?"

?? After she got the exact answer, she showed a dejected attitude: "That is indeed acquaintance, Mr. Chen is a frequent visitor here..."

??Mu Xiang suddenly said: "You are also a regular customer?"

"Exactly." Lian Zhi lowered her brows and looked at me with pity, "Every time Mr. Chen comes, he will order the slave's house, but he never does anything about the bed. Excellent..."

??Mu Xiang interrupted her, and asked bluntly: "Did he order you today?"

?? "Today Mr. Chen brought a girl in from outside. That girl is so beautiful that the slave family can't compare..."

??Mu Xiang: "Where is he now?"

?? "It's in the private room at the end of the corridor, which he has rented all year round..."

??Before he finished speaking, Mu Xiang interrupted him again: "If you play the piano here honestly, don't call anyone. After it's done, I will give it to you..."

?? He spoke halfway before realizing that he had no money on him, so he couldn't help but look sideways at Shi He.

??Shi He took out a little silver and put it on the table, pushed it in front of Lian Zhi, and then took out a bank note: "When we come back, this bank note is also yours."

?? Lianzhi opened her eyes wide and nodded hastily.The amount of this bank note is enough for her to redeem herself and live for a few more years.

??Mu Xiang and Shi He went out, and every time they passed a private room, they could hear Meng Lang's words, even with the woman panting from time to time. The private room at the end of the corridor was only six miles away from them They pretended to be passing by and came to the private room, but found that there was no movement inside.

??Mu Xiang said: "Go to the window and have a look."

??"Can."

?? But Mu Xiang is not good at martial arts, let alone light work, so Shi He held Mu Xiang's forearm and jumped slightly, and arrived in front of the outer window of the elegant room, just stepping on the beam steps under his feet.

?? The scene inside was beyond their expectations. Chen Ke was lying on a chair, his face was flushed, he kept muttering something, his body twitched from time to time, and the foreign woman was wearing thin gloves, trying to open a Dark wooden box.

??Mu Xiang felt dizzy for a moment, and the pattern on the wooden box sucked his consciousness into it like an abyss, with all kinds of familiarity and even some faint fear.

"It hurts..." Mu Xiang murmured.

?? "Who!" The foreign woman immediately turned her head and looked towards the window, but there was nothing there.

?? She came to the window frowning. The outside was empty, facing the wide Jing River. A few birds flew away from the branches as if they were frightened.

??Although she didn't see anyone, she still didn't feel at ease. She glanced at Chen Ke who was immersed in the nightmare, and went out to check the situation as quickly as possible.

??————

"You two sons, this is..."

?? Lian Zhi was at a loss and was thrown onto the bed by Mu Xiang, and the two young masters followed and pulled down the curtain.

??She hasn't had the experience with the two guest officers yet, so she can't help being a little scared. She heard that the sisters in the building who had experienced it lost half their lives...

?? She secretly raised her eyes, but even though the two young masters were wearing masks, they could still tell that they were extraordinary, and they gave a lot of money, so it shouldn't be too much of a loss...

?? She comforted herself, just as she was about to take off her clothes, she was pressed down on the bed by the boy in black: "Can you call?"

?? Lianzhi was a little shy: "What kind of name do you want to hear?"

?? Shi Hedan said: "Like the girl next door."

Lianzhi was taken aback for a moment, she knew the girl next door, and she had a good relationship, but the bed affairs were quite sloppy, and she could say anything sloppy.

?? "I can do it."

??Mu Xiang nodded in satisfaction: "Call it."

"...What?" Lianzhi was stunned, and the local words were startled.

"Didn't you say you could bark?" Mu Xiang frowned, "Hurry up."

?? There was already a commotion outside the room, and the bustard shouted: "This girl can't come in, she can't come in!"

?? It should be the foreign beauty who is talking: "Are these banknotes enough?"

??The old bustard seemed to be trying to stop her, and her voice became hoarse: "Where is the question of money? It is said that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Girl, girl, disturbing people in spring night will be punished!"

?? "Go away!"

??The voice was getting closer and closer to Mu Xiang and the others. Mu Xiang took out a dagger and pressed it against Lianzhi's neck, saying, "Call quickly."

?? Lianzhi was so frightened that she screamed a few times tremblingly, which was not real at all.

??Shi He took out another bank note and waved it in front of Lian Zhi: "It belongs to you too."

?? Lianzhi's eyes lit up, and she uttered a sound in an instant, screaming very happily!

?? "Oh... two, gentlemen..."

?? When the foreign woman opened the door, she heard such words.

?? "Master, someone is here...ah! No, we can't be together..."

??The foreign woman seemed to be startled. She didn't move for a long time. The old bustard hurriedly closed the door and said bitterly to the foreign woman: "Girl, what do you have to tell my servants, don't disturb the masters during the spring festival, okay?"

?? "... Is this the spring festival worth a thousand dollars for you?"

??The old bustard laughed dryly: "Everyone has their own preferences, and it's good to try something new once in a while, don't you think so?"

??The woman from the Southern Region snorted strangely: "Daxiang is more open than I thought."

??Finally, she walked towards the end of the corridor and gave up her pursuit.

??—

?? Lian Zhi continued: "Master, don't be like this... my family..."

??Mu Xiang: "He's gone...don't bark."

??He looked at Shi He under him silently, and didn't sit up for a long time.

?? When the woman pushed the door just now, Mu Xiang subconsciously pushed Shi He down on the couch, leaned over and faced down, not daring to look into Shi He's sight, while Lian Zhi lay alone on the other side, screaming rise up.

??It's so weird, he is leaning on Shi He, and next to him are other people's strange voices...

?? Shi He reminded: "Your Highness, I'm gone.
