Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11224

Vision City.

In the evening, the pavilions were as lively as usual, with dignitaries from all walks of life flocking in. But no one knew that the famous florist Hua Xiangyue was unconscious in the small building in the backyard.

When Zi Yan returned, Han Yue, who had been waiting at the door, was overjoyed.

"I've finally waited for you." Han Yue sniffed.

"What's wrong? Is the condition recurring?" Zi Yan frowned.

"No, no, the young lady is still the same." Han Yue hurriedly shook her head. She was a maid in name only, but in fact she and Hua Xiangyue were as close as sisters and depended on each other. Hua Xiangyue was unconscious, and she was the most anxious one.

"go in."

Zi Yan didn't say much.

She came back alone, and in the end she did not bring Zhou Dianya with her.

Because she met someone at the county magistrate Nie Xinran's place.

  Dragon Demon Jiao Feilong!

Jiao Feilong is the number one master martial artist of the Yang Clan Guest Academy in Bozhou. He was once publicly regarded as the best fighter in Bozhou. With him around, Zhou Dianya cannot afford to be careless.

She didn't have that much trust in Zhou Dianya, so only after handing him over to Jiao Feilong did she feel at ease to return here.

Ming Xinshui, the leader of the Qingyi Sect, was still staying in the room. There were two big dark circles under his eyes on his jade-like face.

He couldn't sleep all night just to wait for Zi Yan's return. After all, he was worried about letting someone else look after Hua Xiangyue.

"Is there an antidote?"

When he saw Zi Yan appear, his expression brightened up. He rubbed his forehead with his hand. With the circulation of his internal energy, his mental state became better.

"Don't worry, the antidote is already in hand."

Zi Yan took out the small jade bottle.

Not all poisons have antidotes. Fortunately, there is an antidote for the Lengxiang Pill poison. She had tested it in advance and found that the antidote was real and effective. There was no reason for Zhou Dianya to provide a fake antidote.

"Let Hanyue serve us, we'll come out first." Zi Yan gave the antidote to Hanyue.

Ming Xinshui nodded and followed Zi Yan to the door.

At this time, the madam of the Waterside Pavilion appeared in person with several maids. They brought hot water, towels, and clean clothes.

"Gentlemen, the rooms next door have been cleaned. You can move in and rest at any time." The old madam said respectfully.

"Good work."

Zi Yan was indeed a little tired, she hadn't slept for a whole day and night.

She now knew that there was a hidden sect behind this waterside pavilion, so she calmly accepted the madam's kindness.

Ming Xinshui just wiped his face with a hot towel, ate a bowl of noodles in the small private room next door, and then he stood guard at the door again.

Zi Yan entered the room alone. She put down her bag, took out her dirty clothes first, took a good hot bath, and lay on the bed to sleep until the next day.

When she woke up, she saw a maid waiting at the door, ready to give her orders if she needed anything.

"Don't bother with breakfast, just grab a snack."

Zi Yan opened the door, gave a few instructions casually, then washed up and changed into new clothes. She was wearing a gold-woven embroidered suit. The whole set of clothes consisted of a stand-up collar, pipa sleeves and a horse-faced skirt. It was elegant, fresh and luxurious. The fabrics were all high-quality silk, mainly white and green.

This set of clothes is obviously very valuable, and it was sent by the brothel owner.

Not only that, she also sent someone to deliver a set of headdresses and makeup, which were very exquisite. Zi Yan dressed neatly and came to the front hall. She chose this set of clothes to hide her identity. She would not come into contact with others in the name of the court.

She saw Ming Xinshui walking towards her with an excited look on his face.

"It really works." Ming Xinshui said.

"That's good... How is Hua Xiangyue now?" Zi Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"He has recovered a lot. He drank some rice porridge and is still lying down to recuperate." Ming Xinshui explained.

"Then rest for a while, there's no rush."

Zi Yan originally wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat with Hua Xiangyue, but now it seems that it is not the right time. She still needs to wait for Hua Xiangyue's body to recover a little.

"I have already made an appointment with the person you wanted to meet." Ming Xinshui lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"When will we meet?" Zi Yan asked.

"It's possible now, he's here." Ming Xinshui said.

……

The person Ming Xinshui helped her make an appointment with was the owner behind this "Waterside Pavilion".

The person Zi Yan met was in an independent small building in the backyard.

On the side of the screen, a man with slender fingers, wearing an embroidered green robe, was playing the guzheng. The melodious sound of the piano was like the sound of flowing water in the mountains.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady." The man in green smiled.

His face was as white as jade, and he seemed to have some Western ancestry, with a pair of deep, dark blue eyes.

"My name is Lu Qingfeng, Miss Jiang, please take a seat."

Lu Qingfeng raised his finger and spoke politely.

"Mr. Lu, I hope we can have a frank conversation today." Zi Yan went straight to the point. It was the first time she met Lu Qingfeng, but she didn't want to say too many polite words.

"What does Miss Jiang want to know? I can tell you everything I can." Lu Qingfeng had a good attitude. He knew that Hua Xiangyue was poisoned and was rescued.

And since the woman sitting opposite him was able to get the antidote, she must know a lot about the grievances and hatreds here, so it would be meaningless for him to pretend to be stupid.

"I want to know what kind of hidden sect you are, and what grudges you have with the Baihong Sect?" Zi Yan said.

She has already obtained some information about these matters from Zhou Dianya. Now it depends on whether the information here can match that over there.

"Our sect is called Shuiyue Dongtian. We have always been non-contentious. The dispute with Baihong Sect is not a conflict between sects, but a friction in business." Lu Qingfeng sighed, and then said self-deprecatingly, "We, the hidden sects, have been hiding for more than a thousand years. There are only a few who have blood and temper who can survive. Most of us have become businessmen. Harmony brings wealth."

This was actually consistent with the information she had obtained. The information Zi Yan had obtained was the same. Baihongmen not only opened "Qiu Zhuangxie", they also had other businesses, and they also cultivated a famous woman named Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi and Hua Xiangyue had a conflict over the position of the most beautiful courtesan, so Zhou Dianya planned to poison Hua Xiangyue so that the position of the most beautiful courtesan would be Liu Yiyi's.

"Is the position of the most beautiful courtesan really worth fighting for?" Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.

"It's all a fight for interests, and we are no exception. We are fighting for the position of the Oiran, and we will use any means."

Obviously, Lu Qingfeng was not so righteous.

Although Zhou Dianya used cruel means against Hua Xiangyue, Lu Qingfeng probably used similar means to deal with Liu Yiyi. Neither of them can be called a good person.

"Hua Xiangyue, Liu Yiyi and the others are unaware of this?" Zi Yan asked puzzledly.
