Suddenly, they heard sounds of gong and then a voice from the boat king. “Now I will announce that the result of the selected beauty queen and concubines has come out...”
It was silent around.
Most people didn’t know what happened in the two pleasure boats where Yang Ning and the heir of Duke of Huainan were, and they just felt surprised at why the result hadn’t been revealed. Hearing that they would announce it, all people held their breaths.
“The four concubines selected today are Zhuo Xian’er, Luo Ning, Dong Qiaoqiao and Wu Yin’er.” The voice was loud and spread far away. “The beauty queen is...”
Before that man spoke it out, countless voices around appeared in unison. “Shen Jiaonu!”
Many wealthy men including Jiang Suiyun from the East Sea had sent gifts, so even if Shen Jiaonu didn’t want to be the beauty queen, she couldn’t refuse.
“There are one beauty queen and four concubines. Thanks to all the be
Xian’er was beautiful, and her voice was sweet.What she said meant to invite Yang Ning, while he still smiled faintly. “It’s still early now.”Xian’er walked to the window and opened it a little to look out. Then she closed the window and looked back with a smile. “I will help you bathe and dress up, Marquis.”Zhuo Xian’er’s every word and action wasn’t affected, but it showed an alluring posture.Obviously, she had been educated in postures and manners for many years, which showed the imprinting.At this time, he heard the sounds. A small door aside was opened, and two maids carried a big wooden bucket which was as tall as half a person. They put it in the room and glanced at Yang Ning. Then they covered their mouths and chuckled before going out.“What are they doing?” Yang Ning was stunned and then understood something.Soon, the two maids came in again with kettles and buckets and poured
Yang Ning was in a daze and felt that he had become an angel with wings, flying in the clouds. He tried hard to open his eyes and instantly found the redwood-colored floor.Soon he found that his hands and legs were tied up and his waist tightened. He was hung in the air.It was so embarrassing.He was dazed and raised his head to look around, to find that he was still in Zhuo Xian’er’s pleasure boat, and it was abnormally quiet around. The light of the red candles still flickered, and a rope was hung on the top of the cabin. He was in the air with the height of a person. When he struggled slightly, the rope swayed and he floated in the midair.He was shocked and thought that Dou Lianzhong and the others took revenge on him as the first reaction.Suddenly, he heard that a woman laughed in a sweet voice and said seductively, “Marquis, I came to see you as we appointed.”Yang Ning trembled and looked
Chi Danmei laughed. “Can you find anybody else in the world whose disciple can defeat Bai within three moves except Beigong Liancheng?”Yang Ning stared at Chi Danmei without a blink and expressed seriously, “Miss Chi, before we continue to talk, I will ask you several questions.”“What do you want to ask?”“Please tell me frankly. How do I look like?” Yang Ning asked solemnly.Chi Danmei obviously had never expected that Yang Ning would ask such a question abruptly. She was a clever woman, so she knew that he must have asked it for a reason. She smiled charmingly and replied, “If I say that you are the most handsome man I have seen, you won’t believe it, but at least, you won’t make people feel disgusted.”Yang Ning knew that Chi Danmei told the truth, yet he was still in a fret. Then he asked, “Do you think that I am smart?”“You must be not stupid. Otherwise, when you found that you were captured
There was aroma from the red candles, and the scenery was beautiful, while there was a beauty like jade next to Yang Ning. It was a good scene and the best time to make out, but unfortunately, he didn’t have an interest.Chi Danmei was as beautiful as flowers, and her figure was S-shaped with a curve. Especially she was lying on her side and facing him.This charming woman had a faint smile, with mist in her hazy and fascinating eyes. Her eyelashes were long and dense, warping like two fans. A slender finger with red balsam liquid was on her ruddy and moist lips, which added more allure to her.“Why are you frowning?” Chi Danmei moved closer to him, and her plump breasts squeezed on his shoulder. He was aroused and sighed. “Chi Danmei, it appears that you really want to know where Beigong Liancheng is. To be frank, I am not afraid of torture or whipping, but I fear a honey-trap most. Especially when such a beauty like you do it, I don’t
Chi Danmei smiled charmingly and asked in a tempting voice, “Aren’t you afraid?”Yang Ning intentionally lowered his waist, and they were closer to each other. He retorted with provocation, “I hurt you again. What can you do?” He thought, “Unfortunately, this woman has evil intentions. If we really make out here, it will be a pleasure to sleep with her.”Before he thought much, he felt that his body was tense, and then he felt an air billow erupting from Chi Danmei’s soft body. He knew that something bad would happen, so he planned to react, but he was thrown away under the air billow. Their bodies clinging to each other were separated in an instant. He was bounced by the air billow and floating in the air, while he saw that she lifted a beautiful leg.When she raised her leg, the red dress slipped, and most of the leg like jade was revealed. It was fair-skinned and dazzling, like frost and snow. It was slender and plump, and the skin wa
Duan Canghai was astonished and asked with a frown, “Marquis, you suddenly asked... Did the assassin’s arrival have something to do with His Lordship Beigong?”“His Lordship?” Yang Ning was also stunned. Duan Canghai called Beigong Liancheng His Lordship, and it was unusual. Yang Ning asked in a hurry, “You know Beigong Liancheng as expected. Who on earth is he? I have heard that he has something to do with my family. What’s the matter?”Chi Danmei had said that Beigong Liancheng was from the Qi family, and Yang Ning still didn’t understand what it meant.Duan Canghai looked around and then reminded in a low voice, “Marquis, you shouldn’t call His Lordship’s name. He is your grandpa’s brother.”“My grandpa’s...brother?” Yang Ning was shocked.Duan Canghai explained, “The old marquis had three brothers. You have seen the third elder lord, while the fourth elder lord became a Buddhist monk for the old marquis that
The alley was very long, slightly wider than the previous one. Walking more than ten steps forward, they heard the voice clearer. They could faintly see a black shadow lying on the ground, unable to figure out what was going on.Seeing the black shadow, the guard immediately stood in front of Yang Ning. Preparing to attack, he said in a low voice, “Who are you?”As the black shadow suddenly moved, Yang Ning vaguely saw him turn around. In the darkness, he could only see two green eyes like those of a wild beast.But judging from its figure, it was a person.Before the guard could say something, the black shadow pounced at him at an incredible speed with a strange voice. Yang Ning was shocked to clench his blade and shout, “Be careful.”The guards of the Mansion of the Marquis of Honor were all strictly selected, valiant and loyal. Seeing the black shadow pounce over, the guard stepped forward and shouted, “My Lo
Yang Ning frowned. He had heard the Mansion of the Divine Marquis several times. As he knew, the Mansion of the Divine Marquis was a very special government office, mainly dealing with ganghood affairs on behalf of the court. This kind of government office was different from others, unique and mysterious.He didn’t expect to meet its persons tonight.However, with such a strange thing happening in the capital, Capital Bureau would report it to the Mansion of the Divine Marquis. Then it would send people to investigate this matter.“Since you’re from the Mansion of the Divine Marquis, you’re experts at investigating cases.” Yang Ning put away his blade and said indifferently, “I’ve long heard that there are quite some experts in the Mansion of the Divine Marquis. Today’s meeting is a great disappointment.”The man sneered, “Don’t trick. You can’t escape tonight.”“Tell me how you determined that I killed him.” Ya
