More than a hundred people gathered at the ferry, waiting for a large raft to cross the Han River into the city. As soon as the large raft full of people left the ferry, another raft came from the opposite bank.
There were all kinds of people waiting, including farmers, business travelers, city dwellers, and people from all walks of life living in this area. Long Ying and Fa Ming were mixed among them. Not to mention that the two people had "evil eyes" and looked gloomy.
The two of them stood out from the crowd and attracted attention.
They naturally pricked up their ears and listened to the bored chatter and exchange of news. The most popular topic was that all the inns in the city were fully booked. It turned out that Fangzhou City suddenly closed its gates two days ago, and no one was allowed to enter without special permission.
Those who entered the city and had no business dealings or relations with the residents were ordered to leave the city. Some people also said that they heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the city. Because of this, all the deportees and those who wanted to go to Fangzhou crowded into Xiangyang.
.
They knew very well that it was Li Xian who had received the good news from the capital city, and knew that the East Palace was lifted, and Wu Sansi led a delegation to Fangzhou. To ensure safety, they took this extraordinary measure.
After waiting for another stick of incense, it was their turn to board the raft, cross the Han River, which was more than three hundred feet wide, and enter the city through Linhan Gate, known as "Xiaobei".
As the river breeze blows, the dragon eagle looks around, admiring the unique features of this fortified city. As for the high city and the deep pool, which are as solid as gold, there is nothing better than Chang'an and Luoyang in the world. Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, with Long and Shu on the right, and Wei on the left.
There are two passes in Han, with the dangers of Zhongnan and Taihua in the front, and the Weishui River and the Gorge of the Yellow River in the back. Luoyang is bordered by Yique to the south, Mang Mountain to the north, Hulao to the east, and Han Valley to the west. They all rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers.
Make the most of the city's defense power.
The most advantageous feature of Xiangyang and Fancheng is not only the moat that is more than 300 feet wide, but also the special situation of the two cities being dependent on each other across the river. The dense rivers make it difficult for the attackers to besiege the city. Anyone who can get this fortress can win.
It can attack and defend freely. If Dajiang Lian wants to get the Pegasus Ranch, its final destination will still be Xiangfan. From this perspective, Dajiang Lian must have arrangements and operations in Xiangfan.
There are rivers all around outside the city, and there are also rivers inside the city, some of which are tributaries of the Han River, and most of them are artificial rivers, which benefit from water transportation. When there are roads, bridges are built to make them accessible. The water flows in the ditches and the lotus flowers are fragrant. In this midsummer
During the season, the riverbanks are lined with beautiful trees, pears are white and peach red, and flowers are blooming, making it splendid and charming.
Crossing the river and entering the city, the two of them did not exchange a word.
The whole city is connected by main roads connecting the four gates in the southeast and northwest. The streets and alleys outside the main road are well-organized and well-organized. There are many shops on both sides of the main street, but everything related to hotels and inns has high hanging signs.
With the "Full House" sign, not only was there no way to get in, but there was also a long line of people outside the door. The streets were crowded with people, which was intimidating.
Long Ying sighed: "Before arriving in Xiangyang, if someone had told Mr. Kang that there was such a scene in the city, I wouldn't have believed it until I died. I'm afraid we will have to sleep on the street all night."
Then he asked in surprise: "Are there any enemies? Why does Fang Yanhuang keep showing a fierce look in his eyes?"
Fa Ming said angrily: "Should Fang's eyes be kind? Sometimes Fang really doesn't understand how the poisonous young master used to conquer the world, conquering all over the world? Now he is just like a young boy who has just debuted."
Then he snorted coldly: "Do you think Mr. Kang still has time to sleep tonight? Here's an idea!"
The two people use the technique of bunching sounds into lines to send their words only into each other's ears. If someone eavesdrops but can't hear anything, they know that they are not ordinary people.
As he did, Long Ying noticed that there were five people, who looked like they were members of a local gang. They walked out of a rice shop, cut into the flow of people on the sidewalk, and greeted them, pretending not to notice them.
The two sides quickly approached.
Two of them quickly accelerated and bumped shoulder to shoulder, while the other three fell back two or three steps to provide support.
"Bang! Bang!"
The man who bumped into Fa Ming stumbled back due to the shoulder collision, and hit his three accomplices behind him. The three people naturally reached out to help him, but little did they know that the subsequent strength came from the man who was knocked down, and all four of them became violent.
Rolling gourd.
The man who bumped into Long Ying acted as if he couldn't hit anyone and used the wrong force, and fell straight to the ground behind Long Ying. It turned out that Long Ying swayed to the right, avoided his shoulder collision, and then moved his shoulder to bump into him, which was equal to Long Ying's.
Join him and give him a hard push.
Passers-by screamed and fled in all directions.
Fa Ming moved forward with lightning, clenched his hand on one of the men's chest, and lifted him up from the ground like a chicken, causing his feet to leave the ground a few inches, and his eyes shot out a cold light, looking straight into that person's eyes.
His eyes showed a confused look as if he was in a nightmare, and his face was distorted, as if he was in great pain.
Fa Ming suddenly let go again, and the man collapsed on the street like a pile of mud. Fa Ming strode out, suddenly kicked up another man who was struggling to get up, and kicked him flying into the street, shocking the people passing by.
The driver on a mule cart hurriedly reined in the mule to stop it.
Pedestrians on the opposite street stopped one after another to watch the excitement here.
Fa Ming said to the two men who dared not even climb up: "If you hadn't lost your temper in recent years, I would dig out your courage and see why you dare to mess with me. Hum!"
Long Ying came to him and left the chaotic scene side by side with him, saying: "Brother Fang is really angry, but remember that small impatience will mess up big plans. Alas! No wonder I said I don't have time to sleep tonight!
"
Fa Ming laughed hoarsely and said: "Mr. Kang, do you think we are here to do good deeds? The method Fang used to treat that man just now is a unique method of our Yin Gui sect. It can make people's qi and blood flow backwards, causing unbearable pain for an hour.
If the inner skin is touched, it will feel as uncomfortable as a needle prick. Fang can guarantee that anyone with a little knowledge will know who is coming."
Long Ying sighed: "Now Kang can't figure out anymore, are you the Monk King or the King of Hell? Your grandma's!"
Fa Ming stared at him accusingly, changed to a normal conversation, and said: "How about finding a place to have a big meal?"
Long Ying glared at him angrily, thinking that he would have to queue up even to find a food stall, let alone a vegetarian restaurant.
Fa Ming led him into a side alley, then spread out his footwork, turned left and right, and walked for at least a cup of tea. He suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Fang will never treat you badly, Mr. Kang! Look!"
Not only is this a good place to eat, but there are beauties to feed you, a pervert like you."
Long Ying looked up, and the golden painted sign with "Beauty Courtyard" written on it came into view.
Fa Ming and Long Ying stepped into the courtyard. Just as the two big men guarding the door were about to stop them, they suddenly looked horrified and stepped away to both sides. If anyone looked in from the outside, they would think that they were welcoming the two of them. Long Ying
But he knew that Fa Ming used the aura of the devil to force the two of them away.
Fa Ming glanced at the two of them with his divine eyes, and said coldly: "No one has ever dared to teach me to be rejected. Anyone with such boldness will be sent to the underworld by me."
While talking, Long Ying and Long Ying kept walking and swaggered towards the main hall. The two gatekeepers were usually popular figures in the market, but at this moment, they were silenced by Fa Ming's fierce flames. They could only watch the two of them climb the stone steps.
Enter the main gate of Beauty Courtyard. Even if Beauty Courtyard is not the largest brothel in Xiangyang, it is at least one of the best. The welcoming lobby is spacious and gorgeously decorated. Although it is far less elegant and scholarly than Fanghua Pavilion, it is magnificent. The furniture used
, expensive and elegant. The five groups of tables, chairs, and tables used to greet guests are all made of rosewood, and the floor is paved with marble. Under the illumination of more than a dozen octagonal palace lanterns hanging on the beams, it has a dreamlike atmosphere.
At this time, five sets of tables and chairs were filled with guests, and more than a dozen pretty maids, no more than eighteen years old, served the guests like butterflies in flowers, serving tea and water. It was a bustling scene.
Fa Ming glanced at the audience with a fierce look and snorted coldly. He did not raise his voice, but everyone in the hall felt their eardrums hurting and felt frightened.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were turned towards the two of them. Everyone was surprised.
Long Ying secretly sighed. This was his second visit to the brothel, but he didn't expect that it would be under such circumstances. Fa Ming was now the veritable "Emperor of Hell", and Fang Jianli thought that he was the "Emperor of Hell"
, his words and deeds always have an indescribable taste of evil and cruelty, which is chilling to see.
A beautiful middle-aged woman, who was chatting and laughing with one of the guests at the table, glanced at the two of them, let out a sweet smile, and said: "Oh! It turns out that there are distinguished guests here. Please forgive me for being so negligent."
He couldn't help but wink at the two of them, and even greeted them gracefully.
When she passed behind a pretty maid, she pretended to be delicate and weak and grabbed the pretty maid's shoulder before continuing to walk towards Long Ying and Fa Ming. Long Ying secretly praised her for her skill, knowing that they were not good people at a glance, so
Teach the pretty maid to sneak away to find people who are qualified to deal with them and come to support them.
The flower lady said as she walked: "Masters, let's have tea and chat!"
The lobby was lively again, but the conversation was obviously restrained, which showed that they were still worried about the two of them.
The two pretty maids came forward and gave them hot towels to wipe their faces. Fa Ming unceremoniously pinched the pretty maid's buttocks. The pretty maid had never encountered such a rude and rude guest. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
But he dared to be angry but dared not speak.
The flower girl walked up to the two of them as if nothing had happened, and said with a charming smile: "Two gentlemen, what are your surnames? So that the daughters of the slave family can have a name."
Faming's greedy eyes looked at her feet from the beginning, then back to her face, and said with a lewd smile: "My name is Zhang San, and his name is Li Si."
Anyone else would have been displeased with the two names he used to express his excuses, but this woman's eyes wandered away and she smiled without changing her expression: "It turns out they are Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li."
He frowned and said apologetically: "How about coming with me? It's so crowded here that there's no room left!"
Longying was afraid that Faming would cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Hua Niang, please lead the way."
Hua Niang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and led the two of them toward the backyard.
Looking at her swaying back, what he was thinking about was Fa Ming walking side by side with him. It can be imagined that until he ascended the throne of the Monk King, this guy had been living a Buddhist life with strict rules and precepts. Under long-term depression,
One of the ways to vent one's sullenness is to get rid of the status of the revered monk king and completely become another person, taking on the role of Fang Jianli, the "Emperor of Hell". Otherwise, one would not be able to handle it so easily and transform from a virtuous eminent monk into a lustful and lustful person.
A domineering person.
Behind the main hall is a circular lotus pond, with flowers and trees planted on both sides. Two gravel paths pass around the pond. On the other side of the lotus pond, they merge into one and extend forward. Brightly lit houses stand on both sides.
The sounds of men and women laughing mixed with the sound of strings, strings and bamboos are heard. It is indeed a gentle place that can make people forget the sun.
After the two of them followed the flower girl around the lotus pond, two pretty maids carrying red lanterns came up to them and reported to the flower girl: "Your Majesty, the Bitaoyuan has been cleaned and ready to greet the two gentlemen."
Hua Niang was obviously surprised and startled, but she couldn't ask the two maids why they made this arrangement. She also knew that it must be an order from the superiors, and said: "Lead the way for the two uncles."
The two women responded tenderly, turned around and carried the lantern and went deeper.
When the two people came to the two sides, the flower girl stretched out her left and right hands, held their arms, and said sweetly: "Bitao Garden is the largest and most luxurious flower hall in our Beauty Courtyard. It is not usually reserved for reservations. It is only used to greet special guests, so
You two gentlemen, please don’t blame me for not greeting you well!"
Fa Ming obeyed the rules very well this time and did not take advantage of the flower lady. He said calmly: "I am not a difficult person to get along with. Madam will prepare a table of exquisite food and wine for me and find the most popular girl.
I will definitely be rewarded heavily."
The flower girl let out a coquettish "Hey!" and said coquettishly: "It takes a little patience to ask someone's most popular daughter to accompany the uncle. The uncle must be a master in the romance field, and of course he is also a sensible person!"
Fa Ming said calmly: "It doesn't matter. As long as I have my wife with you, I can wait as long as I want."
Long Ying increasingly realized that the Dharma was not simple. Every seemingly arbitrary move had a hidden mystery behind it. It can be said that since he stepped into Xiangyang City, it has affected the entire complicated situation.
The first step is to attract attention, deliberately swaggering into the city, provoking people from local gangs to test, and then Fa Ming shows off his tricks, causing a sensation in the whole city. You don't need to guess, the gang that was alerted will immediately have two generals.
The news of the unknown and powerful evil man entering the city was sent to the government and the Baidao Group that protected Li Xian. At the same time, all informants were mobilized to search for the two men.
The second step is to forcefully break into a brothel, and it is the largest one. As we all know, any brothel must be closely colluded with local gangs and the government, and the boss must be a well-off and respectable figure in the local area, who has enough to deal with to cause trouble.
The strength of the evil guests was the reason why Hua Niang was surprised just now, because she thought she would deal with them immediately, but she didn't expect to invite them to the most luxurious flower hall. Needless to say, the environment of this hall is isolated and independent, making it convenient for siege.
Hua Niang's superiors had received the news and knew that the two of them were not easy to mess with, so they used a delaying strategy and sent people to report the relevant people and mobilize experts.
Hua Niang's wild laughter reached Long Ying's ears, and he gasped: "Come with me as long as you want! The two uncles are as strong as cattle. Of course my daughter's family likes strong men!"
Long Ying also thought that if Dajiang Lian wanted to take root in Xiangyang, the best way would be to run a brothel, just like Song Yan's ambition in Yangzhou, which would not only be convenient for collecting intelligence, but also easy to establish good relations with local powerful people and the government. Fa Ming had Cheng Ji for him
Being in charge of the brothel business in Shendu, I know this truth. So this time I broke into the brothel not randomly, but deliberately.
At this time, I walked out of the bamboo forest and saw an artificial river flowing across it. The maid carrying a lantern boarded the wooden arch bridge. An independent house was located on the other side of the bridge. Octagonal palace lanterns were hung in front of the door. The hall was lit with lights and was surrounded by trees. Sure enough,
It is a world of its own, profound and elegant.
At this time, Fa Ming looked more like a pervert than Long Ying who was a pervert. "Hehe" he said with a lewd smile: "Being strong is one thing, but it also requires cooperation in kung fu. I promise that I will not disappoint the flower girl. Haha!
"
Hua Niang nudged Long Ying with her towering chest and said with a smile: "Uncle Li doesn't like to talk? Or is he not interested in the beauty of the slave family?"
Fa Ming laughed hoarsely and said: "He can't wait to swallow Lady Flower in one gulp, just because he knows Lady Flower is mine tonight, so he doesn't want to waste his energy. Haha!"
Long Ying laughed heartily and said: "Brother Zhang is really good at joking, but just because we are brothers, when you are unable to do anything, remember to shout for help, and the younger brother will definitely come to help. Ha!"
The flower girl had obviously been instructed to deliberately please the two of them so that they would not be wary. Not only did she not feel dissatisfied, she also winked at each of them and smiled so happily and charmingly. During the conversation and laughter, the five people climbed up the steps one after another.
, step into the palace as gorgeous as the palace.
Garden.
Bitaoyuan is a rectangular hall, facing south, with windows on three sides, which is transparent and refreshing. Two sets of couches are placed at the north end, and a coffee table is set next to it. There are several chairs on both sides, and a round table is placed near the door. It is decorated with nanmu, woody smell, and
Decorated with calligraphy and painting, the gorgeousness also hides the meaning of simplicity.
The most distinctive feature is the two vertical wooden pillars supporting the beams at the north end. They are decorated with two bronze dragons attached to the pillars competing for pearls. The shape is vivid and lifelike, making the hall lively.
There were already two beautiful maids in the hall, making tea and wine and preparing snacks and cakes for the guests. They didn't look like Han women. In terms of figure and appearance, they were both above the pretty maids holding lamps. Their brows and eyes were full of charm, and they often used
He secretly glanced at the two of them, and was found to have lowered his head pretending to be shy. His face was red and extremely attractive, but when it fell into Long Ying's eyes, he was sure that it was trained by someone from Dajiang Lianjing to seduce men's souls.
Secret weapon.
The more I know about Dajiang Lian, the more I realize that the people who preside over Dajiang Lian are not simple people. The brothel in front of me is far beyond the scope of the knowledge of Kuan Yu, the Turkic state master. Only those who have a deep understanding of Chinese culture can have such a layout.
The lantern-carrying maid hung up the lantern and came over to invite the two of them to take a seat at the north end. Just as Long Ying was about to take a step, the flower girl let out a "嘤咛" sound.
As he groped her delicate body randomly, Long Ying knew that he was using his unique aphrodisiac technique to arouse her desire.
