Chapter 334: Chasing
Fang Yue fled into the big city, endured the pain, and looked for a hiding place.
He knew that he was in a dangerous situation and had to act carefully to avoid being discovered by Zhu Wengui.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to heal his injuries and restore his strength.
Fang Yue shuttled through the prosperous city, his figure was fast and agile, like a wounded cheetah, looking for a safe nest.
He was in pain all over. This was the most serious injury he had suffered since his martial arts mastery.
After all, he was a martial arts master, and he was indeed not an enemy he could fight now.
At this time, Fang Yue's eyes fell on a prosperous place.
This was a brothel, with people coming and going, and a mixture of good and bad people. It was an ideal hiding place.
Fang Yue made up his mind and immediately mixed into the crowd. Taking advantage of the night, he quietly entered the brothel.
The brothel was brightly lit, with a lot of people, and all kinds of people gathered together.
However, Fang Yue seemed to have entered an empty space, like a gust of wind, and soon came to the backyard and hid in an empty room.
Fang Yue had just sat cross-legged in the room, ready to start practicing qigong to heal his wounds, when suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful woman in a light gauze dress walked in.
She had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a pair of autumn-like eyes flashing with soft light.
Her appearance made the originally quiet room suddenly full of life.
Fang Yue was startled, but he was a man of the world after all, and he quickly calmed down.
He secretly practiced qigong, ready to deal with possible changes at any time.
However, the woman did not seem to expect to see other people in this room.
She was stunned for a moment, then gently covered her mouth, obviously startled.
But soon, she regained her composure and walked towards Fang Yue.
"Sir, who are you? Why are you here?" The woman's voice was like the sound of nature, soft and gentle.
Fang Yue looked at the woman and judged that she was not Zhu Wengui's man, so he relaxed his vigilance.
He smiled slightly and said, "I am Fang Yue. I am here to heal my wounds because I was injured. Please forgive me if I disturb you."
The woman listened to Fang Yue's explanation, and a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes, "So you are the injured knight. My name is Qingge, and I am the zither player here.
If you don't mind, I can play a song for you, maybe it can relieve some of your pain."
Fang Yue was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this brothel girl would have such a kind heart.
He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Qingge smiled slightly and turned to get her zither.
The sound of the zither soon sounded in the room. The melody was gentle and smooth, like a clear spring in the mountains, refreshing.
Fang Yue listened to the sound of the zither and felt that his pain seemed to be soothed a little.
"This woman is not simple. She can't be just an ordinary zither player in a brothel!" Fang Yue thought secretly in his heart, and he also developed a strong interest in Qingge.
"Sir, what do you think of this song?" Qingge asked with a smile.
"The girl's piano skills are really superb. This song seems to have magic, which makes people feel relaxed and happy." Fang Yue praised sincerely.
Qingge smiled, "Sir, you are too kind. This is just a pastime in my spare time."
"Miss, you are modest. Your piano sound is not only beautiful, but also seems to contain a special power that can heal people's pain." Fang Yue looked at Qingge with a sharp look.
Qingge heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, "Sir, you are really as sharp as an eagle, but everyone has their own secrets, don't they?"
Fang Yue nodded. He didn't want to explore Qingge's background. Everyone has their own story, and he doesn't need to know too much.
"Miss, you are right. I am just grateful for the help your piano sound has given me in healing." Fang Yue said sincerely.
Qingge smiled and shook her head, "You are too polite, sir. I am also very happy to be able to help you."
The two smiled at each other, and the strangeness between them gradually dissipated.
In the following days, Fang Yue gradually recovered in the sound of Qingge's piano, and his strength slowly returned to its peak state.
That night, Fang Yue was still healing.
But when the lights came on, Fang Yue opened his eyes.
"Miss Qingge, why didn't you come today?"
Fang Yue was a little confused. At this time in the past, Qingge would always come to his room on time and play a song for him to help him heal.
But tonight, she was nowhere to be seen.
He got up and walked out of the room, wanting to find Qingge.
The brothel was still bustling and noisy, with all kinds of people gathered together, but Fang Yue had no intention of appreciating these.
Fang Yue walked through the lobby of the brothel, and heard bursts of laughter and melodious music.
On the stage, a group of dancers were dancing to the music, their skirts fluttering with their movements, like blooming flowers.
The atmosphere in the brothel was warm and cheerful, and lanterns of various colors were hung high, illuminating the entire place like daylight.
The guests sat around the table, tasting wine, watching dances, talking about the world, and enjoying this moment of joy.
Fang Yue's eyes swept through the crowd, trying to find Qingge's figure.
However, he did not find her trace.
The dancers on the stage danced gracefully, like fairies descending to the earth, and every one of their movements was full of rhythm and beauty.
With the climax of the music, their movements became more cheerful and enthusiastic.
Strings and strings, the music is soft and gentle.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yue couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It's true that the merchant woman doesn't know the hatred of the lost country, and still sings the back garden flower across the river.
~~~~~~~
At this time, in a room on the third floor of the brothel.
"Qingge, have you thought about it? Mr. Zhu's status is too noble to be mentioned. If you serve him well, you will be able to escape from the sea of suffering in the future." The old brothel owner said to Qingge earnestly.
Qingge looked embarrassed, "Mother Chen, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to do this."
Hearing this, the old brothel owner's face suddenly darkened, "Qingge, don't be ungrateful. It's your blessing that Mr. Zhu likes you. Don't let me down."
Qingge lowered her head and remained silent.
She knew that she couldn't refuse the old brothel owner's arrangement.
In this brothel, she was just a weak existence and couldn't control her own destiny.
"Whether you agree or not today, you must go to Mr. Zhu tonight."
The madam's tone became tough, and she obviously left Qingge no choice.
Qingge raised her head helplessly, with a firm light in her eyes, "Mother Chen, I understand what you mean. But I hope you can give me some time to let me handle this matter myself."
The madam looked at Qingge suspiciously: "You handle it yourself? How can you handle it?"
Qingge took a deep breath: "I will go and talk to Mr. Zhu and try my best to make him understand my intentions."
The madam frowned, obviously disagreeing with Qingge's idea: "Who do you think you are? Who is Mr. Zhu? Will he listen to you?"
Qingge didn't say anything, just nodded silently, then turned and left the room.
Qingge walked out of the room with mixed feelings in her heart.
She didn't want to be anyone's appendage, and she didn't want to use her body in exchange for so-called glory and wealth.
All she wanted was to be able to freely choose her own life.
However, reality is always so cruel.
As a person who was demoted to the music class for her crime, what choice did she have? Perhaps only complete liberation could completely get rid of this fate.
Qingge sighed and looked up at the starry sky, as if telling her helplessness and confusion.
Qingge had a desperate thought in her heart.
She felt as if she was tightly bound by fate and could not break free.
She returned to her room and took out the dagger that had been hidden for a long time. The dagger was extremely sharp and flashed with cold light, as if it was the sickle in the hand of the god of death. Qingge held the dagger tightly, with a resolute light flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked violently. Qingge was startled and the dagger in her hand almost fell. She hurriedly hid the dagger back to its original place and went to open the door.
Standing outside the door was the Mr. Zhu. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a smug smile on his face, as if he had already won.
"Qingge, you are mine tonight." Mr. Zhu said unscrupulously, reaching out to hug Qingge's waist.
Qingge turned her head away in disgust, trying to break free from Mr. Zhu's entanglement.
But Mr. Zhu held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
"Let me go!" Qingge struggled and said, with a flash of anger and despair in her eyes.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed from behind Mr. Zhu.
The man was agile and pushed Mr. Zhu away, then stood in front of Qingge.
Qingge looked closely and found that the man was Fang Yue.
He didn't know when he had come to the brothel, and now he was standing in front of her, with a firm light in his eyes.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!" Mr. Zhu roared angrily.
"I am Fang Yue, I see injustice and help."
Fang Yue said coldly, "Mr. Zhu, as the son of a powerful man, you are so bullying weak women, it's too much."
Mr. Zhu heard the words, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face. He obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to stand up for the untouchables in his eyes.
But then he showed a ferocious smile on his face: "What a roadside injustice! But do you know who I am? Dare to meddle in my business, are you tired of living?"
Fang Yue looked at him fearlessly: "I don't care who you are, since I'm here, you know what's good for you and get out now."
Mr. Zhu was angered by Fang Yue's courage and sense of justice. He waved his hand and called the followers behind him: "Come on! Kill this ignorant kid!"
The followers rushed forward and tried to subdue Fang Yue.
But Fang Yue was so skilled that he snorted coldly. Before he could make a move, the fierce pressure had already suppressed all the guards of Mr. Zhu and made them unable to move.
Mr. Zhu was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary young man had such terrifying strength.
His face turned pale, and the previous arrogance disappeared instantly.
"You...what do you want to do?" Mr. Zhu asked in a trembling voice, and his body involuntarily stepped back a few steps.
Fang Yue looked at him coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "I don't want to do anything to you, but if you dare to be rude to Miss Qingge again, I will never let you go."
Mr. Zhu was frightened by Fang Yue's eyes, and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I understand. I will never trouble Qingge again."
After that, he left the brothel with his followers in disgrace.
"Mr. Fang, thank you." Qingge walked to Fang Yue and said softly.
Fang Yue turned around, looked at Qingge and smiled slightly: "Miss Qingge, are you okay? If you want to leave, I can take you away from here."
Qingge was stunned for a moment. She looked at Fang Yue with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
Fang Yue's words made her feel surprised and moved.
In this brothel, she never thought that someone would be willing to take her away from this flashy but bound world.
"Mr. Fang, are you really willing to take me away?" Qingge's voice trembled a little, as if to confirm that this was not a dream.
Fang Yue nodded, with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, Miss Qingge. If you want, I can take you away from this place and start a new life."
A trace of tears flashed in Qingge's eyes. She looked at Fang Yue deeply, then lowered her head, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, she raised her head, with a resolute light flashing in her eyes: "Okay, I am willing to go with you."
Fang Yue was delighted when he heard this. He reached out and gently held Qingge's hand: "Then, let's leave now."
The two left the brothel quietly without disturbing anyone.
In the night, their figures gradually disappeared on the bustling streets.
~~~~~~~
Wanhua Town, this is a quiet and peaceful town located in Lingzhou Prefecture in the eastern part of the Wei Dynasty.
This is also the place where Fang Yue and others have agreed.
After several days of running around, Fang Yue and Qingge finally arrived at Wanhua Town.
Although this town is not big, it gives people a sense of tranquility and warmth.
Flowers are blooming on both sides of the street, houses are scattered, and residents are busy or chatting, presenting a harmonious and peaceful scene.
It is very suitable for Qingge to settle down.
Fang Yue rented a quiet courtyard and settled down temporarily.
After settling Qingge, Fang Yue also began to wait for the girl named Wan'er to come.
~~~~~~~
But at this time,
Mr. Zhu came to Wanhua Town with a group of guards.
Their goal is very clear, that is, to find Fang Yue and Qingge to avenge the day.
Mr. Zhu has a sinister face, and he is still upset about the last time Fang Yue humiliated him in the brothel.
This time, he brought a master of the Great Wei Dynasty, vowing to avenge his previous shame.
This master of the Great Wei Dynasty, named Black Shadow, was dressed in black and expressionless, giving people a cold and ruthless feeling.
His strength was unfathomable, and he was a well-known killer in the Great Wei Dynasty.
Zhu Gongzi and his party soon arrived in front of the small courtyard where Fang Yue rented.
Zhu Gongzi saw Qingge basking in the sun in the courtyard at a glance, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, you two bitches, I finally found you!" Zhu Gongzi shouted and rushed into the yard with his guards.
Qingge's face turned pale when she saw Zhu Gongzi and his party.
She knew that this time she was probably doomed.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out of the house and blocked Qingge.
That person was Fang Yue, who looked at Zhu Gongzi and his party coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"You are really haunting." Fang Yue said sarcastically.
When Master Zhu saw Fang Yue, his face changed slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure, because with the black shadow by his side, he had enough confidence to defeat Fang Yue.
"Fang Yue, do you think I can't find you if you hide here? Humph, today is your death day!" Master Zhu said viciously.
Fang Yue looked at him fearlessly: "Master Zhu, you brought so many people here, are you afraid?"
Master Zhu was angered by Fang Yue's words, he waved his hand to let the black shadow come forward: "Black shadow, kill him for me!"
The black shadow didn't speak, but walked towards Fang Yue silently.
His figure was like a ghost, making people feel extremely depressed and scared.
However, Fang Yue was not afraid.
He took a deep breath, then exhaled suddenly, and his figure disappeared instantly.
The next moment, he appeared behind the black shadow and punched the black shadow hard on the back.
Then, a black shadow flew out! (End of this chapter)
