Later that night, Bazar Batu slowly opened his eyes. He heard two people talking. He peeped from behind his eyelashes, and he believed he saw Mu Dishi sat at the table with a man, but somehow he didn't recognize the voice of the two. He knew he might still be affect by the poison. Hearing the name Yongzheng mentioned by the other party, he realized that the two people sitting in front of him were strangers and he did not know them. He knew he had to flee here, but he didn't know what to do. He fumbled slowly and found that there was no Kuo Lok, he was the only one on the bed.
Yongzheng and Xue Horan were sitting at the table for dinner. Yongzheng noticed that Xue Horan had been staring at him. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Xue Horan said, "Tell me what the flower house is, and how do you know the potion?"
Yongzheng said, "It's nothing, it's better if you don't know."
Bazar Batu knew this was his chance to leave here. He quickly got up and sat on the edge of the bed. He said loudly, "He doesn't want you to know about flower house, because he dare not tell you."
Xue Horan turned around and looked at Bazar Batu. He said, "Are you awake now?"
Bazar Batu said, "I know exactly what a flower house is."
Xue Horan asked, "This gongzi, what is a flower house?"
Bazar Batu said, "A flower house is a place where men go to entertain themselves."
Xue Horan who asked innocently, "Like an opera?"
Bazar Batu shook his head in disbelief. He chuckles and said, "You are even duller than Lok gege…" He looked at the innocent teenager who looked about sixteen years old. "In a sense, you are a lot like Mu Dishi."
Xue Horan said, "Everyone says so. I am not him." He looked at Bazar Batu shyly. "This gongzi can kindly tell me why men go to the flower house to entertain themselves?"
Bazar Batu said with a smiled, "The flower house is a place for men of all different age to go drink and chat with women. If the negotiation is reached, the woman can take the man back to her room and entertain him further." He chuckled. "Unlike playing Go or music, I mean being in bed...naked..."
Yongzheng looked at Bazar Batu, "Stop talking…he doesn't need to know."
Bazar Batu said, "Oh…I already told him. If you don't want others to know, then you shouldn't do it."
Xue Horan asked, "Yongzheng, have you been to such a place before?"
Yongzheng said, "Yes."
Bazar Batu said, "I bet with his handsome face, a lot of flowers are attracted to him." He smiled.
Yongzheng looked at Bazar Batu and said, "There are indeed, but I went there to seek different thrills."
Bazar Batu said, "What kind of thrills?"
Yongzheng grinned, "The kind of thrills when people are in ecstasy without knowing that there is danger hidden in the dark." He looked at Bazar Batu. "That is not as thrilling as when you turn the person over. He looks into your eyes and knows that your face is the last thing he will see before he died. Do you know what?"
Bazar Batu, "What?"
Yongzheng said, "My experience for many years is that people who talk a lot tend to scream louder when they are stabbed."
Xue Horan, "Yongzheng…"
Bazar Batu shouted, "I'm not afraid, do you know who is looking for me?"
Yongzheng said, "I am sure no one is looking for you. If someone is looking for you, how can you be a wet dog in the river?"
Xue Horan said, "Gongzi, you are free to go, no one is holding you."
Bazar Batu stared at Xue Horan, walked around him twice, looking at Xue Horan from head to toe. He sighed, "I want to know?"
Xue Horan asked, "What?"
Bazar Batu asked, "What is your relationship with this villain?"
Xue Horan, "What do you mean?"
Bazar Batu asked, "I don't know how a naive person like you would fall into his trap?"
Xue Horan blushed but he said, "He is not evil, Yongzheng is a very considerate person."
Bazar Batu, "What do you see in this villain?"
Yongzheng grabbed the back of Bazar Batu by the collar and threw him out of the room. He closed his eyes and sighed, "So annoying..."
Xue Horan asked, "Are you really angry, or are you afraid that he will reveal more secrets of the flower house?"
Yongzheng, "There is nothing to hide. I have been to those flower house many times, eliminating my enemy." He sat down at the table and began to eat.
Xue Horan stood behind Yongzheng and said with a smile, "Yongzheng, I should be the one that is mad. Why do you seem to be madder than me?"
Yongzheng asked, "You are not mad?"
Xue Horan shook his head and leaned to hug Yongzheng. He leaned his head on Yongzheng's right shoulder and said, "My mother used to tell me not to reopen old wounds." He kissed Yongzheng on the cheek. "We live for the future, not the past. To me, your past has nothing to do with me. What matters to me is our past, our present, and our future ."
Bazar Batu crashed into the room, hitting the bed. Bazar Batu spat out blood. Four daggers flew over and pointed directly at Bazar Batu. Yongzheng kicked the stool at the four daggers. The stool blocked the four dagger from hitting Bazar Batu.
Wu Jinghua shouted, "You are completely surrounded by Seventy-Two Islands. Surrender and crawl out on your knees."
Xue Horan looked at Bazar Batu and asked, "Are you enemy of Seventy-Two Islands?"
Bazar Batu asked, "Who is Seventy-Two Islands?"
Yongzheng, "With you bad mouth, who knows who you have offended."
Bazar Batu slowly got up, "I haven't offended anyone... You are my first victim after returning to Central Plains."
Yongzheng, "Then what does Wu Jinghua want with you?"
Bazar Batu, "That is the woman who hurt Wenqian jiejie and Ciaxia." He looked around the room and looked at Yongzheng again. "What sectors is she from?"
Yongzheng, "Seventy-Two Islands, she is the seventh leader?"
Bazar Batu smiled and said, "There are moles in the six sectors. I think I know who killed Dandan."
Xue Horan asked, "Dandan…Yan Zhanjin's shimei is dead?"
Bazar Batu, "Where have you been?"
Yongzheng, Xue Horan, Bazar Batu walked out of the bedroom door and walked into the open main dining area. There are only members of the Seventy-Two Islands in the inn.
Wu Jingua smiled when she saw Yongzheng, "Aiyo, I didn't expect to see Number One here." She took a step forward. "Leader one, please send that person to us, otherwise."
Yongzheng, "What if I don't?"
Wu Jinghua, "If leader one refuses, then Jinghua will have to snatch him away, but the sword has no eyes. I fear if we fight, a sword might accidentally stabbed him." She rolled her eyes and looked at Xue Horan.
Yongzheng said, "No matter how many swords pierce in his direction, as long as I'm still standing, no sword can penetrate him."
Wu Jinghua said irritably, "Very good. I want to see how you alone can help those two escape from here." She waved her hand and members of Seventy-Two Islands rushed into the inn.
Two members rushed at Yongzheng, and Yongzheng hurriedly struck them and snatched the sword from their hands. He handed the swords to Xue Horan and said, "Be Careful."
Xue Horan handed one sword to Bazar Batu and said, "We aimed towards the door."
Bazar Batu, "This is crazy, we aimed at the back door." He grabbed Xue Horan's hand and they ran to the back door.
Xue Horan shouted, "Yongzheng the old temple."
Wu Jinghua shouted at her subordinates, "Capture the Mongol man."
Many members of Seventy-Two Islands rushed towards Yongzheng and Yongzheng began to fight with them, but Wu Jinghua slowly retreated to the door and began to chase Xue Horan and Bazar Batu.
Hand in hand, Bazar Batu and Xue Horan ran from the inn to the outskirt of the town. Xue Horan led the way towards the old abandoned temple. A group of Seventy-Two Islands members chased Xue Horan and Bazar Batu.
Xue Horan said, "There should be a temple in front, we can hide there."
Bazar Batu said, "We have to outrun them first."
Xue Horan suddenly released Bazar Batu's hand and waved his sword to block the fast incoming metal fan. This caused him to slide backwards, and the individual sprinted forward and hit him in the chest, slammed him to the ground forty yards away.
Then a three-section staff hit Bazar Batu's back hard, causing Bazar Batu to fall to the ground. Bazar Batu quickly rolled himself forward avoiding from being hit by three daggers, he sliding himself towards Xue Horan. Immediately afterwards, two daggers shot directly at Bazar Batu and Xue Horan.
The flying daggers were cut in half, just before the daggers hit Bazar Batu and Xue Horan's faces. Bazar Batu and Xue Horan saw the shiny long dao sword in front of them. They followed the dao sword and saw a man in black coldly looking down at them.
Xue Horan saw his old acquaintance and said in surprise, "It's you…"
Gu Yingjie smiled at Xue Horan, "Long time no see, how have you been?"
