Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

"Sister Huaying, what happened outside?"

When Huaying returned to the room where Mi Lian lived, Mi Lian quickly stood up and asked Huaying.

At this time, Huaying looked solemn. She glanced at her brother Ji Bu who was also in the room, and said to Mi Lian: "Lianyi, let Ji Bu take you away from here.".

Her words startled Mi Lian and Ji Bu. Ji Bu turned around and looked at his sister, and asked anxiously: "What happened, sister?"

Huaying quickly told the two of them what had happened before. She said: "The princess Weiyang of the empire suspected Lianyi's identity and asked Lianyi and the sisters in Zuimeng Tower to see her together."

"Ji Bu, take Lianyi away from here now and go directly to the farmhouse. There is a secret passage in Zuimeng Tower that has been prepared for a long time. I will delay time for you."

When Ji Bu heard that Mi Lian, whom he loved, was in danger of life, he said very quickly: "Miss, leave with me quickly. I'm afraid that Dongjun has already There is a "660" danger."

Who knows that Mi Lian shook her head vigorously, and said to Huaying with a firm face: "Sister Huaying, I can't leave here."

"If I leave here, it means I am absconding for fear of crime. Sister Huaying and the sisters in Zuimenglou will probably not end up well."

"Yan... Princess Weiyang should not be sure of my identity, so she came to Zuimenglou to investigate in person."

"If she really has decisive evidence, she should have sent someone to arrest me long ago."

"Although I knew her in the past, I haven't seen her for so many years, and I have changed a lot. She may not be able to recognize me."

"I am going to take a gamble, betting that she can't recognize me."

Lianyi said this, without giving Huaying and Ji Bu a chance to refute, and walked out of the room directly.

Although Huaying and Ji Bu were anxious, they had no other options. They could only pray in their hearts that Princess Weiyang had not really discovered Lianyi's identity.

At this time, Ji Bu was also a little embarrassed. After hearing that Mi Lian was in danger, the first thing he thought of was to run away with the object of his admiration, but he forgot about his sister's safety.

Now Mi Lian's words made him react. If he really ran away, his sister would probably die.

"Now we can only take it one step at a time."

Huaying sighed softly.

...

There was a commotion in Zuimeng Tower, and the guests who were driven away were still shouting at first.

But after knowing that it was Princess Weiyang of the Empire who brought Luowang to investigate Zuimeng Tower, their expressions changed drastically, and they dared not say a word and left in a hurry.

The girls in Zuimeng Tower, who were all in the hall of the building under the order of Ying Yan, were all standing in the hall of the building.

The girls in Zuimenglou were all trembling with fear, and few dared to look at the noble and beautiful Princess Weiyang. They were all wondering why the princess came here and what Zuimenglou had done wrong.

YingYan looked down at the women in the women's brothel.

She didn't despise them much, because one of her mothers, Zi Nu, also opened Zi Lan Xuan and helped many helpless women.

However, Princess Weiyang didn't say anything to comfort them. She just looked at everyone present with cold eyes, and her eyes finally fell on Mi Lian who was standing in the first row.

Mi Lian's heart jumped. She felt complicated at this moment, and she felt as if she was in another world.

She was very familiar with Ying Yan. When she lived in Xianyang in the past, she often went to the Chang'an Junfu at that time and played with Ying Yan, her sister.

When Mi Lian left Xianyang, Ying Yan was only eight years old. In Mi Lian's impression, Ying Yan was still a lively and cheerful little girl who always liked to play.

But eight years have passed, and the little girl who used to love making trouble has grown up to be so beautiful, steady and elegant, cold and proud, and indescribably expensive.

But she can only live in this women's brothel. Although she does not need to accompany guests like ordinary women, she also needs to sell her smiles to survive.

The difference in fate between the two did not make Mi Lian jealous, but it also made her feel the changes in the world and the different life trajectories of each person.

Just when Mi Lian was thinking about it, Ying Yan suddenly said: "You, raise your head."

Hearing Ying Yan's words, Mi Lian felt awe in her heart. She could only hope that Ying Yan was too young at that time and could not remember her appearance. At the same time, she hoped that the heavy makeup she put on now would make the other party unable to recognize her.

Mi Lian did not dare to disobey Ying Yan's words. She raised her beautiful face, her heart beating violently, and smiled at Ying Yan a little nervously.

"What's your name?"

Ying Yan walked to Mi Lian's side, she looked at Mi Lian thoughtfully, and asked with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

"My name is Lian Yi."

Mi Lian tried to pretend that she was just an ordinary woman, and said in a slightly trembling tone.

Her behavior was in line with the fear of ordinary people when they saw the princess.

"Lian Yi? Nice name. I know you. In this East County, Lian Yi of Zuimeng Tower is a great zither player and is highly respected by many people."

"But somehow, I feel like you look like someone I know."

Ying Yan's words made Mi Lian's heart beat faster. She said anxiously, "It is my honor that my humble name can be known by Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

"But I am just a woman in the brothel. I dare not marry Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the Princess must have made a mistake."

Ying Yan said in an unchanged tone, "Women with your temperament are rare. Not only do you not have a trace of worldly air, but even among the many noble women I know, there are few who are as noble as you."

Mi Lian secretly groaned in her heart when she heard this. Temperament is the most difficult thing to change. She has been learning various etiquette under the strict teaching of Changping Jun since she was a child.

So manyHow can you change a habit that has been formed over the years?

She bit her teeth gently and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Compared with you, I am just an ordinary person."

"I don't know what temperament is. I was raised by Sister Huaying in this Zuimeng Tower and I don't have the ability to know any noble children."

Huaying on the side also hurriedly said, "Your Highness Weiyang, Lianyi is just a peasant girl. I just raised her like this in order to sell her for a good price."

"It's mainly men. They all like such women."

Mi Lian hid in Zuimeng Tower. Naturally, her past career resume had been falsified by the peasant family. Even if Luowang checked, it could only find out that Mi Lian was an ordinary peasant girl.

Ying Yan did not comment. She raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Oh? According to what I heard, Lian Yi of Zuimenglou only sells her art but not her body."

Huaying said quickly, "How can she sell her art but not her body? I just value Lian Yi and don't want to sell her easily."

"If there is really a big shot who wants to beg for money, how dare we refuse in a small place like Zuimenglou."

Ying Yan suddenly laughed and said, "Really? In that case, my father will come to Dongjun tomorrow."

"My father likes beautiful women. As a daughter, I have been worrying about what gifts to give him."

"Lian Yi, you are very good. When my father arrives, you and Hua Ying over there will serve my father. If you don't want to..."

Ying Yan's eyes flashed coldly, and he said cruelly, "Then all of you here will not live until tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of Luowang killers drew their sharp blades from their waists.

The brutal murderous aura instantly swept through the Zuimeng Building. The girls in the Zuimeng Building had never seen such a scene before. They screamed and cried loudly.

Mi Lian was even more stunned. She never thought that Ying Yan would find a woman for his father to play with. This is what a daughter should do! .
