Chapter 24 The Trap

The fifth brother looked at the darkness unwillingly, searching for a moment, and finally followed Wang Sheng into the inn disappointed.

The three young men from the inn came out, cleaned the doors of the inn, poured water, and then closed the doors and windows. The light of the candlelight in the inn dimmed, and the sound inside could be heard in a shady way.

The little beggar leaned against the wall, held the leftover plate given by the waiter, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Silence all night. Since Li Mei left, Wang Sheng's pressure seemed to have been reduced a lot. Without the helplessness of responding to the challenge at any time and the frequent tossing and troubleshooting, he felt that the evening had become even more difficult.

Sitting alone in the hall, holding a teapot and drinking tea.

The singing prostitute didn't go back either. She sat not far away with her companion, quietly dazed.

On the table in front of them, there was a plate of thick steamed buns and two plates of side dishes. They all knew that sitting next to them could give them a life they could never imagine, but how to impress him, let him take them away and become a prostitute.

The singing girl tried several times, and each time she was quickly dismissed, just like sending a beggar. These are the solutions that the man also took to harass him every time.

They were afraid that if they did not do well, they would stimulate him again, so the man shook his sleeves and left.

Looking at it from afar, they also feel that it is a blessing, because they actually met such people.

The fifth brother lay on the bed, holding his head and looking at the drooping cloth on the mosquito net. The half-old bed tent reminded him of Li Mei when he was with him. Li Mei always complained about him, and his clothes were always old. If he looked at him, his eyes would have no aesthetic power.

Wherever he went, if possible, Li Mei would always find different clothes and let him change them. Because of this, he was as tired as a dog, and she was so happy that she danced with joy. It turned out that when she thought about it, she felt that she did not tease him as a fool at that time.

There was another person who didn’t sleep all night, and that was Lou Zhaojun.

Lou Zhaojun is also recalling Li Mei.

She remembered that Li Mei once said to her: "Zhaojun?! Haha  ̄Do you know whether Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties? Yes! Zhaojun goes out of the frontier! Do you know?"

"Listen to me. Wang Zhaojun is a very talented woman with beautiful appearance and figure. How can she say she is beautiful? The appearance of falling geese! Do you know the appearance of falling geese?"

"Ah! You don't know the appearance of Luoyan? Alas. It's okay, I'll tell you. This Wang Zhaojun lived in the same era as now. He had a war between the north and the south, and the country's borders were not peaceful. The emperor picked a woman with an ugly appearance from the list of concubines, and prepared to marry the king of the belligerent country to ensure peaceful life between the two countries."

Lou Zhaojun, who was sitting aside and silently, despised: "Nonsense! How could there be ugly among the king's choice of concubines! They were all carefully cultivated daughters from various families and sent to the palace."

"Hey! Look at you, how do you understand it so much? Ugly and Jun, isn't this a comparison? Isn't there something ugly in comparison? And you are not stupid. How can the marriage between the king and the king really give you an ugly past! It's so provocative! I'm stupid!"

"I don't want to listen. You have to keep talking. How late is the lady? Go to bed!"

"Hey, I'll say you Lou Zhaojun, look at how well Huan'er is, and you haven't spoken. Let me talk about the experience of a girl with the same name as you, will you not have any sympathy for you?!"

“…”

Lou Zhaojun still couldn't help but say: "The story of an ugly woman. Is the lady trying to kill me?"

"You are so meaningless. Let me say it again. Ugly and Jun are the results that will only be achieved after comparing the comparison. Really, without comparison, there will be no harm! Do you understand!"

"Miss. I want to listen. Sister Zhaojun, let's listen to the lady." Huan'er advised him.

Li Mei proudly turned around and walked to the bed, "Huan'er, serve me to bed. I'll lie on the bed and tell you the story of Wang Zhaojun."

"At that time, there were many women in the harem of the king, and it was not common. The king attracted the honor, and the painter drew his appearance and according to the drawing. Many palace maids bribed the painter, but Wang Zhaojun refused. In this way, she was never favored by the lord. The king sent an envoy to the court to marry the beauty as the queen. The king looked at the picture and chose Wang Zhaojun. Before he went, the king summoned him and saw with his own eyes that beauty was the best in the harem, and his mind was very good at responding to the conversation. He was elegant and generous. The king regretted it, but the matter was already decided and there was no way to replace him, so he had to let Wang Zhaojun marry the lord."

"Wang Zhaojun bid farewell to his hometown and traveled north. Along the way, the horses neighed and roared, making her even more sad."

"Miss, has she fallen in love with her king? She married her and was the queen! What a great thing, what can I be sad about?"

"Huan'er, don't interrupt. Miss said that Wang Zhaojun looks like a fallen geese."

"Yes. She was in a state of peace. She sat on her mount, plucked the strings, and played the song of parting. The wild geese flying south heard the pleasant sound of the piano and saw the beautiful woman on the horse's back, forgot to wield her wings and fell to the ground. From then on, Wang Zhaojun got the synonym for "falling geese".

"That's how the story is told?" Huan'er couldn't wait to ask.

"What else can I do? The language and customs between the country are different. If you want to integrate into a new big family, you can't solve it by beauty. You have your own definition of beauty. What is the real fact? What is the person she thinks? Even if Wang Zhaojun falls in love with her king, don't you think about why she met the king before leaving? Also, who has asked Wang Zhaojun's wishes and asked if she is willing to leave her hometown and go to a strange place alone to live with a stranger?"

After Li Mei finished speaking, she turned around and faced it inside and muttered, "Can women not make decisions for themselves? Will women always leave their lives to fate? If he ruins his face, will she still have a chance to marry far away? Even if she can still marry far away, will the ugly and handsome king still talk to her? If the conversation cannot be very good, and happily proceed, can her appearance make the king reluctant to leave her?"

Lou Zhaojun thought, muttering: "If the conversation cannot be very good, and if it is carried out happily, can her appearance make the king reluctant to leave her?"

Huan'er in the death row cage snored loudly, and did not notice that someone had quietly opened the wooden door, unbuttoned the rope on her body, and placed a blue package beside her.

"It's time to go! Come on!" The flames in the kitchen rose and the raging fire spread around.

The chef on duty who was lying in the kitchen immediately ran out of the kitchen and headed straight to the water tank. The water tank was full. Everyone woke up from their dreams, stood up, ran to the yard to watch. Everyone in the inn worked their best to extinguish the fire. Because the fire was not big, there was not much damage. Except for the chef on duty being punished by the boss and replaced, there was no difference.

Wang Sheng stood outside the wooden cage, looking at Huan'er's trembling look, speechless for a moment.

Lou Zhaojun stood beside him, standing calmly, not talking or looking at people.

The fifth brother stood behind the guards, looked, and quietly turned around and walked out of the room. Wang Sheng's personal guard followed him, followed the fifth brother around the inn for two rounds, returned to his room, and closed the door tightly.

The guards who followed secretly also quietly hid aside.
