A dragon boat slowly came from the north. It did not enter the city, but stopped outside the city. In the city, Chen Xi, who was dressed in dark blue military armor, led a group of Cangnan cavalry out of the city to greet them. When this eleventh-level female warrior rode her horse
When they arrived, Lin Zhao and Huang Tingyu had also jumped off the dragon boat. From a distance, many players and the people of Tianji City were watching the fun.
"Chen Xi, see Lin Shuai!" Chen Xi smiled and saluted.
"Your Majesty, you are very polite."
Lin Zhao hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "I came here to select soldiers. I wonder how the palace commander arranged it?"
"No hurry, no rush."
Chen Xi smiled and said: "The new year is approaching, and Lin Shuai finally comes to Tianji City. Why don't we have a drink to warm up first? As for the place to live, does Lin Shuai want to live in my city lord's mansion or in the city?"
Outside the palace?"
"Just do it."
Lin Zhaodao: "Don't be too extravagant. Everyone and I live in the camp. After selecting the sources of troops every day, we will send them to the Snowy Tianchi by dragon boat. We will try to start training this army as quickly as possible to enrich the combat power of the Snowy Legion."
.”
"Um!"
Chen Xi nodded: "Well, it just so happens that the recruit camp is only a few miles away from the camp. I will have a drink with Lin Shuai at noon, and then accompany Lin Shuai to the recruit camp to select soldiers."
"Not urgent."
Lin Zhao thought for a while and said: "We will discuss the selection of troops tomorrow. We are new here today. Let us first feel the customs of Yunzhou."
"oh?"
Chen Xi narrowed her eyes. She didn't know what Lin Zhao's idea was, but she didn't bother to think about it. All she thought about was that Lin Zhao rarely came to Tianji City, and she, the owner of Tianji City, had to entertain him well.
Let’s go to the stall. The wine and meat in the stall are pretty good, and some of the fine wine stored in the city’s cellars can be used to entertain distinguished guests.
So, at noon, a table was set up in the hall, with Chen Xi as the host and a group of local officials from Yunzhou and the generals in charge of the new army camp to entertain Lin Zhao from the snowy Tianchi. Huang Tingyu met two distinguished guests.
, and Lin Zhao and Huang Tingyu just regarded it as a social event. They needed to deal with selecting soldiers in other people's territory and setting up an office to raise food and grass in Tianji City in the future.
Lin Zhao is actually not very good at socializing. When traveling in the world, he can make friends with his charlatanism, but not in this industry. Basically every one of the officials and generals brought by Chen Xi is an old fox.
Sometimes there is something hidden in the words. Lin Zhao tried his best and sometimes couldn't understand the deep meaning. Fortunately, Huang Tingyu was also an old fox. He became one with a group of government officials in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, he changed the cup and changed the cup.
The friendship has become deeper.
Lin Zhao secretly praised himself for his wisdom. He was right to bring Lao Huang here. No one else can do it in the snowy Tianchi. Only Lao Huang can handle this kind of situation. Maybe Tang Guangjun can also do it, but Tang Guangjun is a military strategist with a bad temper.
It stinks so much. In this kind of scene, it is really far inferior to Lao Huang, who is so prosperous.
…
At the end of the year, Yunzhou is still very cold.
Soon after, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and the last snow of the year finally came.
In the city, an extremely luxurious building stands on the most prosperous street of Tianji City. This building hangs a gold-lettered signboard of "Yunxiang Building". It is the most famous brothel in Yunzhou, where countless dignitaries, princes, princes and nobles are here.
Money is spent here like water. It is said that sometimes millions of taels of silver go in and out of Yunxianglou in one day. This is not an exaggeration at all.
At this time, the red tiles of Yunxiang Building were covered with snow, dotted with clusters, and in front of the curtains on the third floor, the snow was fluttering, and the cold wind was blowing away the sadness of leaving. Just inside the window, it was
A stunningly beautiful woman, who looked like a fish and a goose, was wearing a flowing golden red dress. Her beautiful eyes were spotless, as if she could see through all the filth in the world. She frowned, pursed her red lips, and was in a very bad mood.
The woman is none other than Shi Hanyin, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Dashang and the best singer in Yunzhou. According to legend, Shi Hanyin is good at singing and dancing, and is even the best piano player in Yunzhou. In addition, she is born with
She has an unparalleled appearance, so she is not only famous in Yunzhou, but also famous in the world. She is the most respected oiran among the high-ranking officials in Yunzhou.
"I said girl."
Behind him, someone came upstairs. It was a middle-aged woman dressed as a noble lady. She looked at the food on the side and said: "This food has been heated several times, why is it not moving at all? Even if there is
You have to eat something to worry about. If you lose weight due to hunger, your face will not be so pretty, and those young men will definitely be heartbroken."
"Whether they are heartbroken or not, what does Hanyin have to do with it?"
Shi Hanyin's red lips slightly opened and she said: "Hanyin is just a temporary pleasure for them. Mom, please take down these meals. I really have no appetite."
"well!"
Mom shook her head and said: "Is it possible that you are still angry because Mr. Liu caught your hand yesterday and did something frivolous? Girl, don't forget, although you are a singer in name, who are we?
, what kind of place is this Yun Xianglou? After all, it is a house of prostitutes. Sooner or later, your courtesan's body will be sold to others, and it will be sold for a huge price? That Mr. Liu is the son of the minister of household affairs, and his family has a big business.
, and I am willing to spend money on you. Yesterday I spent three hundred thousand taels of silver in one day. What are you doing? It’s just a matter of catching your hand, so what’s the harm? If Mr. Liu is really willing to spend several million taels of silver, you
Maybe she will become the young lady of the Vice Minister's Mansion."
"Mom, that's enough!"
Shi Hanyin frowned, looked towards the north of the city, and said with a frown: "What's going on in the north of the city today? It seems to be quite lively."
"oh."
Mom smiled and said: "I heard that the official family was receiving a distinguished guest from the north. Even the Lord of Yunzhou, Chen Xi, personally went to receive him. The person receiving him seemed to be from some snowy Tianchi... I heard
The guests on the first floor said it seemed to be called White Clothes, but I don’t know whether it was true or not.”
"ah?!"
Shi Hanyin frowned slightly, and after a thousand thoughts in his mind, he finally said softly: "Mom, please go down first and let me stay alone for a while."
"Okay, I'll have the food heated up and delivered to you later. You have to take a bite."
"good."
After her mother left, Shi Hanyin sat alone in front of the window and opened the drawer on the dressing table. There was no rouge and gouache inside, but there was a thick stack of story novels. Shi Hanyin was originally a woman from an official family. Her father suffered an accident.
After being framed, he fell to this point. Fortunately, he was talented and was not forced to pick up guests. However, he lost his freedom after all. Therefore, Shi Hanyin often asked the boy in Yunxiang Building to go to the street to buy some Jianghu scripts.
Legendary novels, looking at the stories of Jianghu, I feel infinite yearning in my heart.
And the top one of the stack of story novels has three words written on the cover: "The Legend of White Clothes".
This is Shi Hanyin's favorite storybook legend. It tells the story of Lin Baiyi, who fought against the demon clan in the snowy Tianchi more than a hundred years ago. It tells the story of how he drew his sword and killed the great demon of the Thirteenth Realm.
, Later, Shi Hanyin heard that Lin Baiyi was reincarnated and appeared in the snowy Tianchi. During that time, Shi Hanyin was actually quite happy. However, he was Lin Baiyi and he was Shi Hanyin. What a difference.
No matter where she is, she feels ashamed everywhere.
How can my teacher, Hanyin, be qualified to be worthy of Lin Baiyi?
She only hoped that she would be lucky enough to see him once, and her wish would be fulfilled once she saw him. However, how could such a person do that thing of listening to music?
…
Afternoon.
Chen Xi said goodbye.
Lin Zhao took Huang Tingyu to take advantage of the wind and snow. Following Huang Tingyu's sword light, the two of them walked against the wind, and finally landed in front of a high-gate courtyard in the south of the city. There was a hanging hanging on the door.
Lin Zhao didn't even think about the big characters "Lu's Trading Company". He raised his hand and pulled out the Liquan. He slashed out with a sword energy, and the plaque was split into two.
"who!?"
The retinues from Lu's Trading Company rushed out one by one with sinister eyes.
Lin Zhao led Huang Tingyu forward slowly and said with a smile: "Merchant from the northern region, please see Lu Yiwei, the head of Lu's merchant family."
"Pooh!"
One of the Four Realm warriors' retinue spat and said: "You don't even urinate to reflect on your own virtue. Who are you? You can see our master whenever you want?!"
"Buzz!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a frost-cold flying sword touched his forehead. The tip of the sword was extremely sharp. It had already pierced the servant's forehead before the collision, causing blood to flow.
"Are you still qualified now?" Lin Zhao said.
"How brave!"
A ninth-level warrior rushed out of the house, frowning and said: "Who dares to make trouble in Lu's Trading Company? You are tired of living, aren't you?"
"Be bold!"
Huang Tingyu stepped forward, pressed the Nine Realm martial artist to the ground with a gentle pressure of his palm, then stepped on one foot and said: "Why are you talking to our mountain master? Do you want to die!?"
The people of Lu's Trading Company saw that something was not good. All the martial artists of the Nine Realms were pushed to the ground. The old sword cultivator's cultivation level was unfathomable. He might be the legendary Ten Realm Sword Immortal!
At this moment, there was a flow of energy in Lu's Trading Company. A middle-aged man wearing a long gown walked out of the house and said with a smile: "I'm Lu Yiwei, I don't know what my Lu's Trading Company has done to offend you two.
, do you want these two people to come to your door so aggressively to investigate?"
Lu Yiwei's realm is not high, only the Galaxy realm.
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "I have to ask your son Lu Shaoyan. Did he fight against a Taoist priest named Xu Mingan in Danxia Mountain? Did he set up a trap with Sun Tingxuan from Yaowang Valley to steal other people's elixir recipes?"
For a moment, Lu Yiwei felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that things couldn't go better today.
He narrowed his eyes and said: "This place is the territory of Yunzhou Tianji City after all. Do you two dare to kill people in the city? Come on, where are my Yunzhou Lu family soldiers?!"
Immediately, a large group of warriors rushed out of the mansion. There were hundreds of them, at least they were all warriors starting from the lower fifth realm. They even formed some kind of formation to connect the Qi of each other.
"What can you say?" Huang Tingyu asked with a smile.
"Lü's phalanx of warriors!"
Lu Yiwei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you dare to break it?! If you don't dare, get out of here. If you dare, you will be responsible for your life and death. Don't say anything about our Yunzhou Lu family..."
"Okay, okay!"
Huang Tingyu interrupted him, slowly drew his sword, and said: "Don't worry, Lord of the mountain, let's see how I, Old Huang, can break it with one sword..."
