Although several people fought side by side in the secret realm, they had not been together for long, and their relationship was inevitably a bit unfamiliar. However, when they talked about the oiran, they naturally became familiar with each other.
Soon the group of people set off to Hongxiuzhao. Gao Ying and Pei You had originally prepared a sedan to express their solemnity, but Zu An was used to riding in cars and subways in his previous life, and he was really not used to the small space and the constant bumps.
's sedan chair.
So he suggested riding a horse. Both Gao Ying and Pei You were practitioners, so they naturally had no objections.
Originally, people in the inner city had a lot of rules when it came to riding horses, but since they were all descendants of major aristocratic families, and Zu An was a new member of the capital, no one would give them any trouble.
Several people galloped on their horses, and Pei You said with a smile: "I wonder who will have the opportunity to ride Nan Xun's rouge horse today. The feeling of riding it will definitely be much better than what it is now."
Hearing his vulgar words, Zu An raised his eyebrows. This guy looked like an autistic and gloomy boy, but when he talked about these things, he suddenly turned into a social nerd. Well, it turns out that beautiful women can change men.
The most primitive motivation.
Zu An smiled and said: "The Red Sleeve Move will definitely be crowded with people today. Will there be no seats left later?"
Gao Ying said: "This time the oiran Nan Xun was selected as the guest of the curtain, the men in the capital naturally flocked to it, and even some people from the counties and counties around the capital came here because of it, but most people could only join in the fun, and Hongxiu Zhao did it for
To avoid confusion, we specially sent out 100 name cards. Only those who receive the name cards can enter the Red Sleeve Move tonight."
"Only 100?" Zu An was surprised. This number seemed like a lot, but how many rich and powerful people there are in the capital? And there are often hundreds or even thousands of people in a family, plus the neighboring states
The points from the county are simply not enough.
"Then tonight the Red Sleeves will be full of high-ranking officials from the imperial court?" Zu An thought of similar things in his previous life. Generally, most of the 100 famous posters have been allocated internally, and only a handful will flow into the market.
"That's not true," Gao Ying smiled. "After all, it is a place of romance. The court officials are also afraid of the Yushitai's impeachment. Everyone cherishes their face. Generally, the big guys will not come. Only those of the younger generation like us can."
I will go join in the fun, maybe in a few days it will be inconvenient for my uncle to go."
You must know that a few months ago, Zu An was not even a civilian, just a death row prisoner. As a result, he rose up like a rocket and now became a viscount, a popular man in the East Palace. The key is that his existence has made all forces unable to ignore it.
.
In a few days, he might have been promoted a few more ranks, and it would be inappropriate for him to come to such a place by then.
Zu Anxin thought that it was like this. It was really disappointing that those high-ranking officials in the imperial court were in high positions but could not even play as oiran. However, after thinking about it, they had already achieved those positions. They could just raise any woman they wanted.
, there is no need to come to such a place.
"Thanks to Brother Gao Lu Ziguang, I got a famous post. I wanted to come before, but unfortunately I couldn't get it after searching for a long time." Pei You pointed out Gao Ying's contribution at the right time, which was very useful to him.
"It was by chance that I found someone to transfer it to. After all, this courtesan became famous around the time we entered the secret realm, and we didn't have the chance to find such a famous post at that time." Gao Ying reciprocated the favor, explaining that it was not because Pei You didn't have enough energy.
, but when someone posted the name post, they were fighting in the secret realm and had no time to get it.
Zu An thought that it was no wonder that he had never heard of this oiran's reputation before. It turned out that it only appeared after we entered the secret realm.
He thought of something and suddenly laughed: "On weekdays, you all choose the courtesan of the brothel, but today it seems like the courtean is prostituted by us."
It's like being in a club in the past life, and asking for a new batch if you see anyone you don't like. Now everyone has switched roles with the oiran named Nan Xun, and it's them who are choosing these guests.
Gao Ying and Pei You couldn't help but laugh: "That sounds like it, but you will understand when you meet the oiran later, she is worth it."
At this time, Pei You continued: "Brother Zu, we are all friends of life and death. I will tell you some things directly. Originally, in order to thank you for your life-saving grace, we should have sent the oiran to you, but today
This oiran is a bit special, and we can’t figure it out based on our family backgrounds. We can only rely on our own abilities. If you can’t win the favor of Miss Nanxun by then, we will replace you with another oiran. There are a total of 24 oirans in Hongxiu Zhao.
The two outstanding courtesans are jokingly called 'Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night', I guarantee your satisfaction when the time comes."
Zu Anxin thought that Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were friends of life and death. Who was friends with you?
He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you two. I don't have any advantages, I just make girls like me easily. I think the oiran will definitely choose me when the time comes."
Pei You: "..."
He looked the other person up and down. If the other person hadn't saved his life, he would probably have just said something so ordinary but so confident given his usual temperament.
You must know that this girl Nanxun is different from the previous oirans. Information is exchanged in the circles in the capital, and no one is confident of getting her favor.
Gao Yingcheng, who was a little more mature, laughed and smoothed things over: "A fairy like Miss Chu has chosen Brother Zu. Brother Zu's charm is evident. Maybe Miss Nanxun will really choose you today."
A few people were chatting and laughing, and unknowingly they had arrived at Hong Xiuzhao.
Although he had been mentally prepared before, Zu An was still a little stunned when he saw the brightly lit pavilions and pavilions in front of him. The scene in front of him reminded him of the building complex in "Spirited Away" and seemed to see Chongqing.
Night view of Hongya Cave.
It was several times more luxurious than the Immortal Residence he had seen in Mingyue City before!
The Jiaofangsi I went to before had a restrained and low-key temperament, and was far inferior to the red sleeve moves.
One red sleeve move is almost equivalent to the entire Fireworks Alley of Mingyue City put together. No wonder no one has found out the background of the boss behind it. It can be so popular in the capital, how can it be an ordinary background?
At this time, there was already a buzz of people outside Hong Xiuzhao. Everyone was rubbing shoulders with each other, making Zu An feel like he was back on the Spring Festival travel train in his previous life.
Many people yelled Miss Nan Xun's name crazily and even fainted from holding their breath. Many more people knew that there was no hope of entering, so they held banners outside to declare their support and love for Miss Nan Xun, fantasizing about Nan Xun.
The girl can see the literary talent on the banner and look for them to enter.
Zu An looked at it for a few times and saw that many people had written various love poems on it. Unfortunately, he was used to reading Tang poetry and Song lyrics in his previous life, so the quality of these was really poor and would only make people feel embarrassed and sour.
"Give way, give way!" Gao Ying and Pei You were both sixth-grade masters. They didn't need to hurt anyone. They just needed to release their energy a little to squeeze through the crowd in front, and the three of them came to the door.
Zu An noticed that there were many nursing homes at the Red Sleeve Gate to maintain law and order, and there were also many police officers guarding there.
It's so awesome that a brothel can have people from the government office maintain law and order.
While he was sighing, a joking voice suddenly came from beside him: "Hey, isn't this Xiaoyou? Why do you come to a place like this with the Liu family?"
Zu An turned around and saw a young man, surrounded by a group of people, looking at the three of them jokingly. The young man looked a bit handsome, but his eyes were dark and his face was pale. At first glance, he looked like he had been drained by alcohol and sex.
body.
Judging from his age, he is about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, but there is nothing stable about him. On the contrary, he is full of frivolity.
"I want you to take care of my affairs?" Pei You sneered, and at the same time quietly explained to Zu An, "This person is Pei Xingyan from the third room of my uncle's house."
Zu An immediately realized that the other party was the grandson of Linhai Gong Pei Zheng, and although Linhai Gong Pei Zheng and Pei You's grandfather Pei Ming were brothers, their relationship was not good.
In particular, Pei You and his father were very close to the Bi family and tended to favor the prince. Pei Zheng was even more unhappy with them.
"A textbook villain." Seeing the look on his face looking for trouble, Zu An was filled with emotion. He suddenly remembered that Da Manman's father was Pei Zheng's fifth son, and the guy in front of him was her cousin.
For Da Manman's sake, he wouldn't embarrass this guy.
Who knew that the other party didn't even look at him, but looked directly at Gao Ying, as if he had just recognized him: "Isn't this the nephew from the Liu family? I heard that you have always been upright and steady, why do you come to such fireworks?
Land. Shouldn’t it be Liu Xian, that prodigal son, who should be here? Why didn’t he come today?”
As he spoke, he looked around as if looking for Liu Xian.
Gao Ying's face suddenly darkened. The other person mentioned that he was a nephew of the Liu family, as if he was mocking him for not being a true direct descendant of the Liu family, which made him very unhappy. In the end, he even mentioned Liu Xian on purpose.
He suppressed his anger: "Liu Xian has died in a secret realm to protect the crown prince and concubine. The court has published an obituary on this matter. What do you mean by saying he didn't come?"
"Oh, it turns out he's dead. I'm sorry, I really haven't paid attention to this aspect recently," Pei Xingyan said embarrassed on the surface, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face, "By the way, you just
How did he die?"
Gao Ying said coldly: "In order to protect the crown prince and princess, I stayed behind to cover their departure and then sacrificed my life!"
"Liu Xian sacrificed his life to protect others? And he took the initiative to stay? Hahaha," Pei Xingyan seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed with his companions around him, "If someone like Liu Xian dies on a woman's belly one day, I will
It’s not surprising at all that a playboy like him would take the initiative to sacrifice himself to stay and break up his family?”
Gao Ying's face became increasingly cold: "This is an announcement from the imperial court. Do you doubt the emperor's judgment?"
He is also not good at making mistakes and directly digs holes in the language.
Pei Xingyan was naturally aware of the trap and said with a smile: "The emperor is wise and powerful, so he will not make mistakes in his judgment. However, the emperor is more concerned about big things. A small person like Liu Xian may not be able to catch his eye. In fact, Liu Xian is well known in the capital.
I’m not the only one who is showing off. If you don’t believe it, ask them, do they believe Liu Xian will stay and sacrifice himself?”
His companions all laughed:
"How is that possible? Liu Xian is notoriously greedy for life and afraid of death."
"In addition to playing with women, what else can he do? In my opinion, his cultivation was so poor that he lost his life in the secret realm. As for how he died, they were the only ones who came out alive. Whatever they say is fine.
ah."
"That's not the case. In my opinion, Liu Xian's cultivation is probably too poor and he couldn't outrun others when he ran, so he was forced to stay behind and break up the rear."
"Hahaha, what Mr. Pei said is absolutely true. This is probably the truth."
…
Zu An on the side secretly sighed, Da Manman's cousin really deserves a beating, and it made me want to beat him up a little bit.
"Bastard!" Gao Ying couldn't help it and punched him directly.
Pei Xingyan had already been prepared and blocked it with a wave of his hand.
After a fight, Gao Ying remained motionless, but Pei Xingyan took several steps back, but his companions immediately gathered around him: "What are you doing, you don't want people to tell the truth, right?"
Pei You and Zu An also stood beside Gao Ying calmly, obviously not letting him suffer.
There was an abnormal blush on Pei Xingyan's face. It was obvious that he had suffered a small loss in the fight just now. He glared at Pei You and said angrily: "Little Youzi, you actually help an outsider to beat your relatives?"
Many people around him were confused and looked at Pei You with disdain.
In this world of clan society, accusations like Pei Xingyan's are quite serious.
Seeing that Pei You's face turned blue and white, he didn't know how to refute. It was obviously not about the brothel, and he turned back to the autistic boy he usually was.
Seeing this, Zu An helped him resolve the situation and said: "Pei You will help his comrades who live and die together, but will not help a villain who just hides behind and insults the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country."
What does clan affection mean compared to the feelings of family and country?
As expected, the eyes of the onlookers suddenly softened when they looked at Pei You.
Pei You glanced at Zu An with the same gratitude.
"Who are you?" Pei Xingyan glanced at him sideways, with an expression like a toad's.
Pei You was grateful to Zu An, so he naturally reciprocated the favor and boasted for him: "This is the great hero of this trip to the secret realm, the cuckold lord conferred by the emperor himself, the bastard among the princes, and Mr. Zu Anzu, the general of Yulin Lang!"
When he heard the words "cuckold lord", Zu An's eyebrows jumped. Unfortunately, the other party did have good intentions, so he couldn't get angry at all.
"Tch!" Pei Xingyan snorted disdainfully, "The more you two go back, the more you go back. Although your status in the family is not high, you are still a member of a famous family. But now you are so flattering to a poor family. It is really embarrassing for us people in the capital.
s face."
Pei You and Gao Ying's expressions changed. Before they could get angry, they heard Zu An's cold voice next to them: "This Mr. Xingyan, did you eat shit when you went out today?"
Pei Xingyan was stunned at first, thinking he heard wrongly, but when he saw the expressions of the people around him, he realized that he had heard right. He couldn't help but got furious: "What did you say!"
The anger value from Pei Xingyan is +588+588+588...
"How can you spit out feces when you haven't eaten it?" Zu An asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you are the legendary feces maker?"
In my previous life, I spent many years in forums arguing with a group of troll netizens, so I naturally know how to easily break people's defenses.
The surrounding people who were watching the excitement burst into laughter. They may not know any high-end jokes, but they accepted the poop-related jokes one by one very quickly.
Pei Xingyan almost lost his breath and fainted: "I'm going to tear your stinky mouth apart!"
The anger value from Pei Xingyan is +723+723+723...
After saying that, they slapped each other. Pei You and Gao Ying were about to stop them, but they heard a scream and the other party flew back.
Zu An's expression turned cold: "I kill eighth-level ferocious beasts like chickens, and you are worthy of me? For the sake of an old friend, I'll spare your life, so get out."
This guy is really useless, and when he is so angry, his soul only fluctuates a little bit.
Gao Ying and Pei You were shocked. They were so close that they didn't see clearly how Zu An took action. It seemed that his cultivation had improved a lot in a short period of time.
Of course, when they saw Pei Xingyan's miserable state, they felt secretly happy. Brother Zu was so powerful that he vented his anger on our behalf.
The companions next to Pei Xingyan were about to help, but they suddenly shuddered when they heard his words, and then they remembered the rumors about him.
"The Sky-Measuring Biyue Jiao is only at level 7, this guy really knows how to brag." They all complained in their hearts, but they also knew that they were definitely no match for the opponent, so they gave up their plans to take action and became more reasonable: "How unreasonable,
In this most virtuous place in the capital, the strong bullies the weak. Is there any justice or royal law?"
If they knew that the other party killed not only eighth-grade ferocious beasts, but even ninth-grade peak masters, they might not dare to say these words.
However, the onlookers secretly cursed: "Don't show off!"
These children from wealthy families usually like to bully others, but now they have the nerve to criticize others?
However, they are watching the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, none of these officials are good, so it's best to beat them to death.
The commotion here finally attracted the attention of the police officers who were maintaining law and order not far away. A group of police officers holding sabers came over and asked, "Who is making a noise here?"
Pei Xingyan was holding the blood that had just been spat out of his mouth and was about to complain, but unfortunately the breath in his body was so intense that he couldn't speak at all.
Fortunately, he still had a group of friends who complained to the police about Zu An.
In a place like the capital, there are also experts among the policemen. Although the ones present may not be as good as Zu An, if Zu An dares to attack the policemen, it will be a big trap, and the court will never let him go.
At this time, Gao Ying and Pei You also stepped forward to identify themselves and talked about what had just happened. Of course, they described how aggressive the other party was.
The leading policeman was having a headache. They couldn't afford to offend any of these wealthy children, but they had already experienced this kind of thing. They directly shied away and said: "Tonight we are only responsible for maintaining security at the entrance and exit of the Red Sleeve Recruitment. For other matters, you can go to the Yamen."
Submit the paper and the Yamen will handle it."
Pei Xingyan and others: "..."
Gao Ying and Pei You smiled, and then said to Zu An: "Brother Zu, please!"
Pei Xingyan wanted to stop them, but he didn't dare to think that they had just flown out inexplicably.
Zu An and his party came to the entrance, and Gao Ying handed the name card to them for inspection. One name card can bring two companions.
The gatekeeper opened it and looked at it, his brows suddenly furrowed: "The name doesn't match, you can't enter, next one!"
Zu An was stunned, he never expected that there would be such a disturbance.
Gao Ying said in a deep voice: "What's the point? The famous invitations you sent out are not allowed in?"
At this time, the former head catcher said: "I received a notice from my superiors. In view of the fact that the name cards sent out were resold in various ways to drive up the price, and finally fell into the hands of people with ulterior motives. For the safety of the venue and the stability of order in the capital, the name cards must be issued."
Only if the name on the sticker is the same as the person actually coming can be released."
"My relatives gave it to me because they couldn't come. Isn't it okay?" Gao Ying was anxious. He had never heard of anyone asking for a name check in all these years.
Originally, given the status of their respective families, it was not too difficult to obtain this name card, but since they were in the secret realm before, it was naturally impossible to issue it to the two of them.
"No, it must be consistent with the invitation list sent out at the beginning." The head catcher knew their identities and was worried about offending them and added, "This is an order from the top, and we also act according to the rules."
"Who gave the order to go up to the peak?" Pei You's face didn't look good either. The two of them happily invited Zu An to play here, but when something like this happened, where did they put their face?
"No comment!" the catcher replied, "Please don't block the people behind you, next one!"
"Haha...ahem...haha," Pei Xingyan finally stood firm with the help of his companions, coughing and laughing at the same time, "I laughed to death. I came here to show off, but I can't even get through the door..."
Zu An glanced at him indifferently. He didn't dare to say the sarcastic words behind him, so he had to rely on the policeman on the side to support him: "Ahem. If you don't have a name card, just get out of the way. We do."

Today the two chapters are combined together. I wanted to say something, but the recent updates have not been great. I really don’t have the guts to say anything. I can only try my best to save up and resume normal updates first before talking about anything else.
In addition, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, but there are still as many white legs on the street, which is really amazing.
This chapter has been completed!
