Chapter 446 Killing someone
After leaving the military camp, they headed all the way to Changzhou Prefecture.
The attendant asked on the way, "Sir, do you want to go to Shunyi Tower or Fuman Tower? I will make the arrangements for you later."
"Neither of us are going." An Jingzhong pulled the corner of his mouth, his face full of amusement, "Let's go to Cuiyan Tower."
Cuiyan Tower?
The attendant was at a loss, "Sir, is it inappropriate to go here?"
Going out for a drink is one thing, but drinking prostitutes is another.
Especially since Cuiyan Tower is a well-known den of money-spending. If the young master were to get deeply involved in it and the commander of the wing began to blame him...
OK!
"What's wrong with that?" An Jingzhong didn't care at all, and even said harshly, "All the consequences will be borne by me, what are you afraid of?"
Since Lu Qiyan claims to be impartial, since Xiao Luoan thinks Lu Qiyan is fair and strict, since everyone says Lu Qiyan is a good person...
Then he would specifically choose to do things that Lu Qiyan hated, things that violated military discipline and regulations, and then see what Lu Qiyan would do.
He was torn between his own reputation and the image he had in front of his father. If he was not careful, he would lose both and become a complete joke among others.
Lu Qiyan, ah Lu Qiyan, just wait and see!
The attendant did not know what An Jingzhong was planning, but seeing his resolute attitude, he had no choice but to stop talking and follow silently.
Since the young master had spoken, he would be responsible for everything. He was just a follower, so he could not be held accountable...
The two men had their own thoughts. After entering the Changzhou city, they went straight to Cuiyan Tower.
As the sun was setting, the lights in Cuiyan Tower were lit early and the singing and dancing performance began.
The singing of birds, the fragrance of cosmetics, the aroma of food and the aroma of wine mixed together, fully arousing everyone who entered Cuiyan Tower.
An Jingzhong looked around and nodded slightly, "It's a good place."
No wonder some soldiers would risk violating military discipline to come here.
The steward of Cuiyan Tower, Lady Bai, stepped forward to greet the guest. Seeing that An Jingzhong was well-dressed, she smiled even more broadly, "You look unfamiliar, sir. Is this your first time here?"
"Yes." An Jingzhong said arrogantly, "Prepare a table of the best food and wine, and arrange two of the best girls to accompany you. Money is not a problem."
After saying that, he threw a heavy bag of silver into the other person's arms.
White Snake weighed the food and smiled even more happily, "Dear guest, please come upstairs!"
As he spoke, he led An Jingzhong to a private room upstairs which had an excellent location.
When the window of the private room is opened, one can see the singing and dancing on the stage on the first floor. When the window is closed, it becomes an extremely private room. The room is exquisitely decorated, with silk windows, soft gauze lanterns, incense filling the room, and even the cushions on the couch are made of goose feathers. It is extremely luxurious and exquisite.
An Jingzhong was very satisfied when he saw this. He sat casually on the couch by the window and looked up at the beautiful girls dancing downstairs.
The wine and food arranged by White Snake and the two girls were quickly delivered to the room.
The dishes are rich, delicious, and the wine is strong and mellow. The girls are beautiful and gentle, with graceful figures...
An Jingzhong soon became intoxicated by it, hugging women on both sides and drinking to his heart's content.
Night fell quickly, and covered in starlight, Cui Wendong arrived at Cuiyan Tower.
After politely declining the warm hospitality of White Snake and some beautiful girls soliciting customers, Cui Wendong followed Qingsong quietly upstairs.
Walking to the door of the innermost house, Cui Wendong asked Qingsong, "Is this the one?"
"That's right." Qingsong nodded. "I have already found out that Master An is here. The Third Master will arrive later. It's the right time for you to seize the opportunity."
He reached a consensus with Master An before Cui Wenshuo and completely took away the credit.
Cui Wendong nodded slightly and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." A deep voice came from inside. Cui Wendong straightened his clothes and pushed the door open.
The room was brightly lit, and there were snacks and tea on the table, as if it was a place to entertain guests.
Seeing this, Cui Wendong strode in.
But after looking around, he found that the room was empty, without a single person in sight.
Strange, why is there no one here?
That voice just now...
Before Cui Wendong could figure out what was happening, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the room like a ghost, and chopped at the back of his neck with lightning speed.
What happened...
Cui Wendong closed his eyes helplessly.
The music, singing and dancing continued, with the beauty in his arms, and An Jingzhong's glass of wine never stopped. He drank one cup after another until his head was dizzy and his consciousness was blurred.
I don’t know how long it had been, but An Jingzhong suddenly woke up with a start. Without even opening his eyes, he felt a splitting headache.
Rubbing his temple with his hand, An Jingzhong suddenly realized that he was in the military camp and staggered to his feet.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt top-heavy and fell to the ground with a plop like a sack.
A strong fishy smell hit An Jingzhong in the face, choking him and making him much more sober.
Trying hard to open his eyes, An Jingzhong first saw the dim candlelight, followed by a deep red area beneath his body.
The bright red liquid had dried up a little, but because An Jingzhong pressed his hand on it, it still felt sticky.
An Jingzhong stared at the blood on his hand for a moment and was suddenly shocked. He looked to the side and saw a person slumped on the table. The bowls, plates and cups on the table were in a mess, and many of them fell to the ground, making it a mess.
An Jingzhong staggered forward hastily, trying to wake the other person up and ask what was going on.
As the computer shook it vigorously, the person who was lying on the table fell to the ground, with a long sword sticking out of his chest.
When An Jingzhong saw the pattern on the hilt, his pupils shrank instantly and his mind went blank.
This sword is exactly his!
Did he kill someone?
But why is this so?
What had happened, who was this man, why was he in his room, where had his servants gone?
An Jingzhong felt a more and more splitting headache. His first reaction was to find his attendant and ask him to return to the military camp to find his father and inform him of the situation to avoid himself from suffering any loss.
But after calling several times, An Jingzhong didn't get any response, so he had to stagger to his feet, push the door and walk out.
After taking two steps, he ran into White Snake and her maidservant who had come running over after hearing the noise.
When she saw An Jingzhong in such a miserable state and covered in blood, she screamed in fear. The maid was so scared that she couldn't hold the tray in her hands steadily, and the wine jug and wine glasses all fell to the ground and shattered.
White Snake was surprised, but she calmed down and quickly went to the private room. When she saw the body lying in the private room, she screamed, "Murder, murder!"
"Killed!"
"Killed!"
A sharp and piercing sound rang out in the middle of the night, waking up the guests who were staying in Cuiyan Tower. Many people were frightened by the sound and ran out of their rooms in dishevel to check the situation.
Cui Wenshuo also arrived upon hearing the noise. When he saw that the person killed in the room was not someone else but Cui Wendong, he shouted, "Fifth brother!"
