Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 246 Three Wonders of Lingnan
The nine-foot-long sword came out of the body again, whistling like a dragon's roar, and burst out with dazzling silver light. Ji Yu Wu Du could no longer see how many swords Zhu Lang had thrown out. The area within three meters was covered by sword shadows. The cold wind spread in all directions, bringing chill to the sultry evening.

The Five Poisons of Ji Yu had never seen Ping Qingjue's sword. They had only seen Zhu Lang's sword. They could not imagine that a person who did not cultivate Qi could wield such a domineering sword power.

The light only flashed for a moment, and the sounds of breaking, shattering, exploding, sword ringing, and crisp sounds also rang out almost at the same time, and then it was silent again.

The five men froze in place, sweating coldly. The fisherman's harpoon was missing a tip, the little girl's rattle was pierced with a hole, the veil of the veiled woman was cut, all the lychees fell back, emitting black steam, and only the handles were left of the coachman's double whips. The worst-off was the doctor, who had four fingers on one hand cut off and was bleeding.

'Shua...' The sword was sheathed. Zhulang didn't say a word, but his sword spoke for him. His cold eyes didn't even look at the five people around him.

The driver fell to his knees, "Thank you, sir, for not killing me! From now on, we will never show up in the cultivation world again!"

Wuzhan said calmly: "It's up to you whether to show up or not, but we are short of a driver right now, so we have to ask for directions to the eldest master's bedroom."

The driver smiled and said, "If you are relieved, sir, I will continue to drive the carriage and take you there, how about that?"

"That's perfect!"

The coachman jumped onto the carriage, picked up the whip, shouted, and drove away in the open carriage, leaving the four people still in shock.

……

When they arrived outside the palace gate of the eldest son, the driver got off the carriage, bowed and clasped his fists, saying: "I'll leave this carriage to you, sir. I'm leaving now!"

Wuzhan returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiao!"

The driver glanced towards the palace gate, said, "Take care!", and disappeared into the alley.

The guard in front of the palace gate came forward to inquire. Wuzhan explained his purpose. The guard did not neglect him and directly took Wuzhan and Zhulang into the palace. Sure enough, there was a pond full of water lilies. The lotus leaves covered the water surface. The lotus flowers were in full bloom, with a faint fragrance. There was a corridor beside the pond, which led to the harem in twists and turns. A pavilion was built in the pond and connected to the corridor. The lights in the pavilion were very bright under the night sky. A temporary stage was built on the water in front of the pavilion. The singing and dancing had ended. A group of people were sitting in the pavilion admiring the flowers and drinking, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

When Mengya saw Wuzhan coming to pick her up, she shouted, "You're late. You missed a wonderful song and dance. It's a lifelong regret!" Her cheeks were flushed, and she was obviously drunk.

Beside her sat three charming women, one was wearing pink gauze dress, had phoenix eyes and dark eyebrows, pure and beautiful, one was wearing red gauze dress, had almond eyes and rosy cheeks, charming and beautiful, and another was wearing blue gauze dress, had eyes as clear as water, bright and moving. These three women were undoubtedly peerless beauties, equally beautiful as Meng Ya, and they should be the 'Three Beauties of Lingnan' invited by Lu Meng.

When Lu Meng saw Wuzhan, he looked a little suspicious, but he didn't stand up. Instead, he smiled and said, "Princess Mengya said that the envoy's face is 'unparalleled in the world'. Can the envoy take off the mask so that we can see what a unparalleled face looks like?"

Wuzhan said, "You can see the foreign minister's face, but you need the eldest son to follow me back to Xianyang and ask the First Emperor for permission."

Lu Meng said: "Since the special envoy cares so much about this face, I will not force him. Let him sit down and have a few drinks, how about that!" The maid put the stool in front of Wuzhan.

Wuzhan did not sit down. "I am here to pick up Princess Mengya. I appreciate your kindness, Master."

Meng Ya said: "No hurry, no hurry, I haven't had enough of this delicious wine yet, and I haven't introduced such a good sister to you yet?"

At this time, the three women stood up and bowed. The woman in pink gauze said, "My humble maiden Yunchu greets you, sir. These are my sisters, Fengwu and Yuling." The woman in red gauze was Fengwu, and the woman in blue gauze was Yuling.

Wuzhan returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, three ladies. Please take a seat!"

Feng Wu smiled sweetly and said, "We sisters were drinking and writing poems just now. Princess Mengya said that you are well-informed and not only skilled in medicine, but also good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now is a beautiful day. Would you like to sit down and teach me something?"

Wuzhan said: "Princess, you are too kind. I am just enjoying myself in my spare time. I am not worthy of being called a master. How dare I show off my skills in front of the 'Three Wonders of Lingnan'?"

Meng Ya said, "Sir, please don't refuse. I can hear your piano playing every night along the way. Although I don't understand music, it sounds no less melodious than Sister Yunchu's. If you don't show me your skills, I won't be able to see these three sisters again in the future!"

Yunchu said, "How about this, sir, you write a poem about the water lily, and I will compose it into a song, and then the three of us sisters will play it for you, sir?"

Meng Ya clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, as long as you write a poem, we can enjoy the wonderful singing and dancing of the sisters. Don't spoil our fun!"

Wuzhanjian could not refuse any more, "You are so kind, I can only show my ugliness!" He walked to the front of the pond, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the lotus flowers under the moon, thought for a moment, and said leisurely: "The green silk covers the jade bed, the breeze reflects the beauty. The graceful girl reveals her shyness, the most beautiful when the moon is bright. She has roots and will never move, and no one knows her whispers. We meet for the first time tonight, and next year we will only be similar."

After Wuzhan finished writing the poem, the lotus pond was silent for a long time. Lu Meng suddenly laughed and said, "What kind of poem is this, it is neither Fengya Song nor Chuci, it is totally unbecoming. Do you think we have never heard of poetry?" Wuzhan said, "I just wrote it spontaneously. Please forgive me!"

"..., we meet for the first time tonight, and we will only be similar next year." Yunchu murmured softly, and couldn't help shedding a few tears. She picked up the wine pot and said charmingly: "This poem written by you, sir, is unconventional and original. Yunchu has never heard of it before. It is really wonderful, especially the last sentence, which is poetic and soul-stirring. For this good poem, Yunchu would like to offer you a glass." As she spoke, she leisurely poured two glasses of wine, picked up one glass, and presented it to Wuzhan.

Wuzhan looked at the wine in the glass, drank it all without saying anything, and Yunchu followed suit.

Yu Ling chuckled and said, "This poem expresses emotions through objects, has a beautiful artistic conception, is graceful and implicit, and has a novel rhythm. It is truly a good poem. Yu Ling would also like to offer a glass to you, sir." Wu Zhan had no choice but to drink another glass.

Lü Meng was displeased and said, "How can this be considered a good poem? It's a mixed bag of sentences, and the meaning is totally unclear!"

Feng Wu poured a glass of wine and brought it to Lu Meng's lips, saying with a sweet smile: "Young Master, if you drink another glass of wine, you will understand the meaning of this poem!"

Lu Meng drank the wine brought by Feng Wu, feeling happy, and said with a smile: "You all said it's good, so it seems to be really good. If it's good, you must not forget your previous promise and present another song and dance for our princess."

Meng Ya yelled again: "I've already said it, he's full of ink, if he wasn't so scary, he would have charmed all of you."

The three girls smiled at each other. Yunchu picked up the pen brought by the maid and composed music for Wuzhan's poem on the silk. She said to Wuzhan, "Sir, how do you think about composing music like this?"

Wuzhan said: "When I saw the music that the girl composed, I knew that she was an extraordinary zither player. It's a pity that she only used it for this poem!"

Yunchu smiled and said, "Sir, you are too kind. I am afraid my song is not as good as you intended."

The phoenix danced in a flash, the swallows flew across the water three times, and like Chang'e flying to the moon, they gracefully landed on the stage and posed gracefully. Among the lotus flowers in the pond, she was the most beautiful one.

A series of melodious piano sounds spread out, and the lotus leaves swayed gently. Wuzhan knew from the prelude that Yunchu's piano skills were not inferior to Gongsun Yu. He was secretly impressed and listened attentively.

Feng Wu's body began to move. Her body seemed to have lost its bones, soft and graceful. Every inch of her skin seemed to be connected to the strings of the zither and was moved by the sound of the zither. She was graceful and charming. Even Zhu Lang, who was usually indifferent, cast his eyes on her. He could not imagine that the body of a sex could be so alluring.

If you describe Yu Ling's singing as the chirping of swallows or orioles, you are wrong. There is no voice of any living creature in the world that can describe her singing. Her voice is extremely pure, and you cannot tell whether it is the sound of her voice or a musical instrument. It is gentle and ethereal, complementing the sound of the piano and is wonderful.

The three women interpreted the artistic conception of the poem vividly, and Wuzhan even felt a little ashamed, thinking that his own impromptu poem was much inferior.

Beautiful things are always short-lived. Most of the time we spend them in anticipation and aftertaste. When the song ends, the dance stops and exclamations of praise begin.

The three women returned to their original positions, their heads covered with fine beads of sweat, which sparkled and sparkled under the light, making them even more beautiful. Yunchu smiled and said, "Are you satisfied, sir?"

Wuzhan said: "The singing and dancing of the three girls are extraordinary and truly worthy of being called the three greatest in the world. I am honored to have the opportunity to watch them today and have benefited a lot."

Meng Ya leaned on Wuzhan's shoulder and said with a drunken smile: "If I hadn't boasted to you, my three sisters would have left before you even arrived. How could you have seen such a good song and dance!"

When Lu Meng saw Meng Ya like this, he felt disappointed. The two of them were so intimate in public. If there was no one around, he couldn't imagine what they would do.

Wuzhan said: "Princess, please forgive me for your inappropriate behavior after drinking. I will take the princess back to rest. Bye!"

"Who lost his composure after drinking? Leaning on someone's shoulder is also considered losing composure. Don't forget that you are my Yuechang's consort. From now on, you are mine. Even though you are ugly, I won't look at your face."

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised. They knew something about Yuechang's laws, but they had never heard of Yuechang recruiting a prince consort. Even Lu Meng had never thought about this issue. He invited Meng Ya to a banquet just to get closer to her, or even just to hope that if the situation was true, the situation in southern Xinjiang would change greatly. No wonder she would follow him to Panyu.

"The princess spoke out of turn after drinking. This didn't happen!" Wuzhan explained.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, Wuzhan didn't seem like the kind of person who would tell lies.

Yunchu smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to explain. We should also say goodbye. The inn you are staying in is just across from the 'Laiyi Inn'. How about going the same way with you?"

Wuzhan bowed and said, "It is my honor. Please come in, young lady!"
