Book 1 - Fragrance in The Sea of Blood
Chapter 1 - White Jade Beauty
White jade beauty belongs to famous noble,
Carved by the hands of the master,
Its lovely form reached perfection,
Yet it cannot surpass the heart that yearns for it
Tonight, going for a walk in the ht to fetch it,
The siant noble reached it,
Certainly not in such a way as toback and forth in futility
This piece of paper was spread on the brightly litfroauze lamp shade made the pale blue paper appear to be some kind of unusual but beautiful pale violet, it alsoappear to beThe letter did not carry any signature on it, but it carried the fragrance of tulips; ethereal yet rich in scent, which was enough to explain rote this short note
The receiver of the note was the young , Jin Banhua Thisby the table, his fair and clear, as well as delicate, very well- as if he was in extrelaring at the short note, as if he was staring at Yan wang's [Ya of hell] summon
Inside the exquisite reception pavilion, there were three other rizzled hair and beard, wearing e incessantly back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back nobody kne many times he had walked across the hall; perhaps the distance he covered was as far as the distance between Beijing and Zhangjiakou
The other was a aze was like a hawk's,by Jin Banhua's side, his hand lightly stroked the judge pen,on the table His build ithered, sliht, he also looked like a statue made of cast steel
These two aze keptfrom theto the door, from the door back to the , back and forth, back and forth, nonstop
And then the last one was a short and s plain and si far away in the corner, closing his eyes as if he was asleep His whole body, fro special to look at, except his pair of ears, which, for sorey fake ears, but it was also unclear what they were made of
The old oalked over to the table, picked up the note, and said with a cold laugh, ”What do you call this? An invitation? An IOU? Judging from the paper alone, it looks to be the most precious of the four treasures of the Capital that was snatched away fro] ”
And then he slapped the table heavily and said in stern voice, ”Chu Liuxiang, oh, Chu Liuxiang! You look down on the Heroes of the Nine Cities too much!”
Looking anxious, Jin Banhua sta the same type of paper, he had taken away I don't knoin the zi hour [between 11puard it by the chou hour [between 1 - 3am]”
The ht?”
Jin Banhua sighed and said, ”LastMarquis Qiu of Juan Jianzi Lane received his letter, saying that he was going to take Hou Ye's [grandpa Hou, or sion Cup, a faeneration The Young Marquis not only locked the cup in secret cha Fan Tian' [double pal over the heaven] Qiao Zihe [his name literally means 'freckled crane'], and 'Mei Hua Jian' [plu Huan, both are uard outside the door It could be said that the security was so tight that not a drop of water can leak out; but when they opened the door after a while … ay! The Nine-Dragon Cup was gone”
The hed coldly and said, ”Wan Lao Biaotou [lit old head of escort coe of Life and Death] a Huan; besides …”
He cast a glance at the bald oldLao Qianbei [lit old senior/venerable old gentleman], hen the robbers under the heavens heard his name would be scared out of their wits If the three of us cannot stop Chu Liuxiang, I am afraid there is no one else in the world”
The bald old[brother Ximen] must not toot your horn on laoxiu's [lit old rotten] behalf; after the Battle of Yuntai [lit cloud terrace], laoxiu is already unfit for anything; the ears hich I rely on to ar who lost his snake hich he played with?”
If so defeat, so much so that his ears were cut off, not only his lips would be sealed and he would not say anything about this matter, if soht desperately But he was s with assurance and composure, as if he was extremely proud of it
The old biaotou [head of escort co Biao Ju [ten thousand victories escort co Jin Biao' [Iron Palm Golden Escort; note: the word 'biao' can mean either 'escort' or 'dart'], Wan Yuandi This hed loudly and said, ”Who in Jianghu does not know that the Tu Ying's [Bald Eagle] hearing ability is h the Battle of Yuntai was a minor defeat and the old man lost his horse, but it turned out for the best[1] After installing this pair of Bai Yi Shen Er [lit divine ears of the white clothes], your hearing ability is even more superior than the past”
The Bald Eagle shook his head and said with a laugh, ”I a to increasethe robbers, the prince [orig Gongzi, youngthe wanderers, I would not re-enter the Jianghu [lit river and lake]”
Jin Banhua suddenly laughed and said, ”Jianghu people say that Ying Lao Qianbei needs only to hear the sound of so, he can immediately tell whether that person was a man or a woman, how old, and what his status is It does notLao Qianbei heard the sound of his breathing, he could forget about escaping for the rest of his life NoLao Qianbei would hunt and arrest him”
The Bald Eagle closed his eyes until only a slit reerated”
