The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 15: You are bold enough to come with me!

It was a chilly early spring night, not bitterly cold but refreshingly cold and Feng Zhiwei was wrapped in the wind and soon she was frozen like a popsicle.

　　She couldn’t look up, she couldn’t see the face of her captor, she could only see the clothes of Tinshui blue shimmer flowing in the wind, clearly the man who was trying to ruin her face with a veil over his face.

　　This man was dressed strangely, in the rich and fashionable dynasty of Tiansheng, where it was fashionable to wear clothes that were wide and open and it was considered beautiful for a man to show a little collarbone but this man was wrapped tightly from top to bottom, with a veil that hung down to his shoulders, not even exposing a part of his neck and his sleeves were longer than the average man and fell down completely over his fingers, regardless of whether it was inconvenient or not for a fight.

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 14: The rouge mole

Feng Zhiwei looked at his eyes that were completely devoid of smiles and also slowly smiled, saying: “Not going anywhere, waiting for the Lord Commander to find the real killer.”

“Exactly, you and I want it together.” Ning Yi smiled more kindly.

Feng Zhiwei smiled, thinking that she was still alive, so why should His Highness come here? She stood against his horse and looked at the black horse with admiration, smiling, “Your Highness, is this the black horse from Great Yue? It’s a rare breed in the world and I heard that Dacheng doesn’t send many of them every year.” Continue reading “The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 14: The rouge mole”

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 13: Ning Yi the Prince of Chu

Blood everywhere, the man lying on the ground unknown, the crowd shouting, the brother once again planted and escaped.

　　It happened so quickly and unexpectedly, Feng Zhiwei, who had always been calm, was also stunned.

　　Standing there, she looked at Feng Hao’s disappeared direction, her heart raged for a moment and then heard a slight” click” in her hand. Continue reading “The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 13: Ning Yi the Prince of Chu”

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 12: The brick incident

Feng Zhiwei stopped, turned around slowly, pointed to her own nose and asked incredulously, “Me? Assault? Rape? You?”

The man smiled fawningly, swept his hair from his temples, nodded his head and showed his torn clothes to Feng Zhiwei: “Well, you also tore my clothes, the evidence is as strong as a mountain.” Continue reading “The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 12: The brick incident”

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 10: Please allow me to occasionally watch

There was silence on all sides, as if she were speaking to the air and Feng Zhiwei was in no hurry, smiling as if she were moving forward.

“Why is it that every time I see you, something good happens.” The eyebrows that fly obliquely are as blue as feathers and the eyes beneath them, deep and dark, are unlit by the sun.

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 9: Let the eggs fly

Feng Zhiwei followed Yin’er and her friends to a small, secluded garden in the backyard.

　　She’s wondering why prostitute and the man don’t go to the rooms. Is this man a wild man wanting to get frisky in the open?

　　After a clump of spring flowers, the two men stopped, then there was the sound of a man’s heavy breathing, a woman’s whispering, the sound of clothes unraveling, the sound of saliva mingling.

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 8: The new turtle worker

“Zhizhi, I hear there’s a new silk flower in the marketplace. Bring me some!”

“Bring me some too, green and orange!”

“Sifangzhai Rock Sugar Glutinous Lotus Root half a pound!”

It was almost noon, when the rouge was about to wake up and the small building of Lanxiang courtyard was filled with the sound of birdsong, the girls were poking around, calling out to the boys downstairs, who were carrying baskets, ready to go out to buy.

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 7: Why should I drink on the lonely bridge?

The warm winter sun sank, one by one and the wind carried the chill of the night with it, lifting up the layers.

　　It was dark, the streets were deserted and the beat of the watchman’s bell sounded bleak.

　　With a creak, the tavern keeper on Tin Shui Street put down the bamboo frame supporting the window and smiled at an even darker corner of the tavern, “Customer… The tavern is closed…” Continue reading “The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 7: Why should I drink on the lonely bridge?”

The Rise of Phoenixes, Volume 1: Memories of the Imperial Capital Chapter 6: Interest on a slap in the face

“What the hell are you doing here boy?!”

As soon as Auntie An finished speaking, another servant woman suddenly screamed, she was shocked by Auntie An’s slap and took a step back, hitting the half-open window and faintly heard a low scream under the window, looking back to find the Feng family’s two boys squatting under the window.
