On a new day, the city gates of Lingyang City were still closed. A caravan coming from afar ran into a wall in front of the city gates. The accompanying guards were almost shot dead by city guards with crossbows. In desperation, they could only head north.
Turn back.
The atmosphere in the city has become increasingly weird. Although the two-day closure has not had much impact on this border fortress city in the southern border of Yan, people can't help but guess the reason. The business of teahouses and restaurants is particularly booming because of this.
.
Some people say that Shangguan Wuji was assassinated and that the assassin was still lurking in the city. Therefore, Shangguan Wuya went to war and ordered the entire city to be searched under martial law. Others said that Hei Lao Yao, one of the four major bandits, sent people to sneak into the city to cause chaos. Various rumors spread.
Spreading the word will inevitably make some people panic.
Ordinary civilians were okay, as long as they had food and clothing at home, they didn't care. However, the merchants who were preparing to leave all had sad faces, not knowing when they would be able to return home to celebrate the New Year.
Due to the large number of soldiers patrolling the streets, the market was affected and looked particularly depressed, but some places were still crowded with customers, and business was even better than usual.
Fengyue Street in Lingyang City is definitely one of them, because on this street, which is only a few hundred steps long, there are dozens of brothels and restaurants, attracting a steady stream of idle wealthy people, aristocratic children, merchants and officials.
Come and take care of me.
It was sunset when Qin Yun got off the carriage.
Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the pavilions on both sides of the street. The red light shone on the blue-gray stone slabs, making people feel extra warm on this cold winter night.
The door of each house is open. Servants in green short coats are shouting and soliciting customers at the door. There are many women in skirts upstairs and downstairs holding round fans. They gather in twos and threes and wave their sleeves when they see someone passing by.
The slender hands waved gently, the whispers and smiles were like invisible hands holding back the people who came to have fun.
The sweet smell of powder is lingering in the air.
It was Qin Yun's first time to come to such a place of fireworks. Although he was carrying an important mission, he still felt curious and fresh. He handed the driver a piece of broken silver and looked up at the beautiful carved pavilion in front of him.
Wanhua Tower!
Three large gilt characters were engraved on the black plaque like dragons and phoenixes. On the pavilion hung with painted lanterns and colored balls, several beautiful women pursed their lips and smiled softly. They were casting bold glances at him, their eyes seductive.
pole.
A servant in green clothes standing at the door immediately came up to him. He nodded and bowed in greeting: "Master, this is your first time coming to our Wanhua Building. The food, wine and girls in our Wanhua Building are definitely the best in Lingyang."
The best in town, you won’t regret coming”
The people who can do the work of welcoming and escorting people in front of the brothel are all carefully selected and clever people. Generally speaking, they will not forget the customers they have met once, and their words are sharper than the matchmakers.
Although Qin Yun has no experience in visiting brothels, as an innately strong person, his calmness is beyond comparison with ordinary people. He smiled lightly and said: "Give me a room to have sex first. Then you can serve some food and drinks!"
The young servant in green just nodded when he saw a flash of golden light in front of his eyes, and he instinctively reached out to catch it.
The heavy thing I picked up turned out to be an ingot of gold!
High roller, definitely a big roller!
What all brothels like most are young men who are generous with their money. If they fall in love with a girl, they will casually spend hundreds or thousands of taels of silver without blinking an eye.
The servant in green suddenly smiled so hard that his eyes were not eyes, and his eyebrows were not eyebrows. He led Qin Yun into the Wanhua Building with great diligence and went straight to the upper room on the second floor.
When the girls in the building saw the expression and gesture of the servant in green, how could they not understand in their hearts. Qin Yun's appearance made their eyes shine even more, so they gathered around him one after another, pushing aside the servant who was leading the way.
Today, Qin Yun put on a white brocade robe, with a python belt and jade pendant hanging on his waist, and a goldfish bag. Although he was not that kind of handsome young man with a long and straight body, he had a handsome and strong aura. He was definitely not that kind.
It can be compared to a playboy whose body has been drained by wine and sex.
The girls in the brothel love money as well as beauty, so when they saw Qin Yun, they were like bees smelling honey, and they wanted to press their whole body against Qin Yun's body.
At this moment, Qin Yun was surrounded at the entrance of the stairs and could not move forward or retreat. In front of him were faces with different styles, coquettish words and soft jade fragrance. However, the scent of powdery body made him dizzy, and he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
.He can't sweep away the entire army with one move and knock all these women away.
His hands instinctively pushed it out, but they encountered something extremely elastic, which caused a burst of laughter.
But fortunately, the rescuer came at this time.
"You little bitches, what are you doing around here before the guests have entered the room? It's just a disgrace to our Wanhua Building!" A beautiful middle-aged woman rushed over, her eyebrows raised and she shouted angrily: "You are all here.
Get out of here!"
All the girls surrounding Qin Yun dispersed. They were obviously in awe of the beautiful woman.
Qin Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he would rather face hundreds of enemies than be surrounded by these bold brothel girls. They really can't be beaten or scolded.
The beautiful middle-aged woman came to him, bowed politely and said: "This guest, the girl in the building doesn't follow the rules and makes you laugh. I think this is the first time for the young master to come to our Wanhua Building, why not
How about letting me introduce some girls to you?"
This beautiful woman has a plump body. Her tight-fitting red dress outlines her breasts, revealing a large area of fair and delicate skin. Although there are obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she can still see how beautiful she was when she was young.
He was obviously born in a brothel, but there wasn't much of a kitsch aura between his brows, which made him look very special.
She introduced herself: "My surname is Su, and I am the mother in charge of Wanhua Tower. Everyone calls me Mrs. Su."
Qin Yun nodded: "It turns out to be Mrs. Su, I'm here for Miss Yun today!"
"Miss Yun," the beautiful middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then smiled charmingly and said, "Please take your seat first."
Under the guidance of the other party, Qin Yun came to a luxuriously decorated room.
As soon as we sat down, two beautiful maids brought tea, snacks and hot towels, and the service was extremely attentive.
Madam Su, who was sitting next to her, asked with a smile: "I don't know the surname of the young master yet, why don't I introduce two girls to the young master first. They just joined the cabinet a few days ago, and they are both housekeepers. I guarantee that the young master will
like!"
She smiled lightly and said: "As long as the young master is willing to buy it back and keep it at home, it is fine. They are all carefully trained in our Wanhua Building. They know how to serve people best."
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but Mrs. Su avoided talking to Miss Yun.
"My surname is Qin." Qin Yun drank the fragrant tea, suppressed the fluctuating emotions in his heart, and said with a smile: "Forget it for others, I have heard many people say that Miss Yun from Guilou is excellent at playing the piano and melodies. I came here specifically because of her reputation.
, I hope Mrs. Su will not disappoint me."
"Mrs. Su, shouldn't you be reluctant to part with it? Haha!"
Today he has been waiting for an opportunity in the Shui family's old house. Near evening, he received news from the guards that Shangguan Wuya would most likely go to Wanhua Tower after completing his patrol.
The power of the three companies joining forces is extraordinary, and the sources of information must be very reliable.
After a short period of thinking, Qin Yun decided to go to Wanhua Tower first and wait for Shangguan Wuya to come to his door.
On his way to Wanhua Tower, the three families, together with Xu Jingye, who got the news last night, have already started secret operations. The success or failure of assassinating Shangguan Wuya has a bearing on the overall situation. It can be said that it affects the whole body!
Qin Yun's outspokenness made it impossible for Madam Su to change the topic. She hesitated for a moment and said with a troubled face: "Mr. Qin, it's not that I don't want to introduce you, but that Miss Yun has a special status and I can't do it casually. Besides,
Miss Yun’s recent benefactor is Lord Shangguan Wuya, the commander of the City Guards, and I, a small brothel steward, would not dare to offend him!"
Qin Yun frowned, put the tea cup heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice: "How can this be unreasonable! Shangguan Wuya has to be reasonable? Now that he is not in Wanhua Tower, can't he take over Miss Yun completely? What if?
He just redeemed Miss Yun into his home, and I won't come. Now I can't even listen to her play a few songs?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yun casually took out a piece of white jade and threw it in front of the other party.
Madam Su was horrified, and was struck speechless by the domineering momentum Qin Yun showed in that moment. Her eyes fell on the white jade involuntarily.
This piece of jade is only a square inch in size, but its texture is fine and white, and its surface is faintly glowing with soft light, which is obviously different from ordinary jade.
Lingyu!
Madam Su's eyes were so vicious, she could tell at a glance that this piece of white jade was a very valuable spiritual jade, a treasure that even money could not buy. Not even Shangguan Wuya made such a bold move!
Mr. Qin!
She was desperately trying to guess Qin Yun's origins. There was no Qin surname among the seven Lingyang families, and no young master dared not to take Shangguan Wuya seriously. Without enough strength or background, he would never be so showy!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her tone suddenly weakened: "Master, please wait a moment, I will ask Miss Yun to come over."
Qin Yun nodded grandly.
After Madam Su went out, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then burst out laughing.
Qin Yun was able to hold up the situation without showing timidity. In addition to his own character, his experience of hundreds of reincarnations also played a vital role. A few words and a piece of spiritual jade actually frightened the well-informed Su.
Lady.
He continued to drink tea while thinking about his next move.
After a while, Madam Su came back and brought back a beautiful and charming woman.
When Qin Yun saw the famous girl Yun from Ling Yang for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
