Just because the voice sounded good, Huang Xiaoshi stopped and turned his head to look at the person who called out to him.
I saw that this man was about fifty years old, wearing a white silk dress with embroidery and green satin with gold thread. He had starry eyes and thick eyebrows, but there was a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.
This is the real master that Huang Xiaoshi shouldn't know now, but he really knows: King Cheng.
Huang Xiaoshi sneered in his heart, what a sincere king, he is really not an ordinary person.
If you say that King Cheng has been waiting for him here, it would be an insult to Huang Xiaoshi's IQ.
Not to mention the thousands of miles from Luoyang to Hangzhou, it is difficult to accurately plan and calculate the itinerary within three days, and there are ten gates in Hangzhou. How did King Cheng know which gate he should take to enter.
Huang Xiaoshi felt more and more that the handlebar guy was from Dongchang.
Because only the handlebar type can directly grasp Huang Xiaoshi's whereabouts and estimate the accurate time he can reach.
In other words, although Huang Xiaoshi has [player vision], he cannot see [people].
This is also a big flaw in [player's field of view]. Of course, the corpse is not a [person], the corpse is an [object].
Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi can only deduce whether the handlebar type is from Dongchang or not through the results afterwards.
Currently, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have not yet merged. Although they both belong to the same spy agency, their operating styles are very different.
The Jinyiwei are organized according to the army, and the people of the Jinyiwei have prescribed attire when walking on the street, so they are very eye-catching.
The structure of the East Factory is a very typical pyramid shape. This structure is similar to that in the palace, that is, one big one drags three small ones, and the three small ones drag three smaller ones.
In terms of efficiency, the layer-by-layer stacking of Dongchang is too redundant, and the efficiency is bound to be low.
But Dongchang's method has two biggest advantages over Jinyiwei.
One is that Dongchang has very strong internal control, and everyone has someone watching over them.
Don't worry about low efficiency. As long as the internal friction is relatively low enough, everyone is working hard in the same direction. No matter how small the effort is, the final resultant force will be great.
The second is that if you want to join Dongchang, the conditions are actually very low. Just find someone who is willing to accept you and treat him as offline.
As for the Jinyiwei, they all eat royal food and have a staff establishment, but it doesn't mean you can get in just by entering.
For this reason, Dongchang's business capabilities have improved year by year, and its structure has become larger and larger. It has surpassed Jinyiwei and become the No. 1 secret service agency of the imperial court.
From this aspect, Dongchang has penetrated into every inch of land in this country. Every pair of eyes on the street may be Dongchang's eyes, and every ear may be Dongchang's ears.
In such an environment full of eyes, it is difficult for a person to remain silent.
Unless, first, he is not on Dongchang’s watch list;
The second is to have strength and know how to hide one's whereabouts. For example, simple disguise (makeup).
Prince Cheng is not the father-in-law of Da Neili, so it is naturally impossible for him to control Dongchang.
However, through years of planning, King Cheng has buried many chess pieces in Dongchang.
After so many years of development, these chess pieces have gradually gained certain authority, at least in control of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Otherwise, how dare Prince Cheng talk about rebellion? He will be screwed.
Therefore, this was not a chance encounter, but King Cheng giving Huang Xiaoshi a warning.
If Huang Xiaoshi was a smart person, he would have been surprised and shocked by the intelligence strength displayed by King Cheng. If Huang Xiaoshi was an honest person, he would have been moved by King Cheng's personal welcome.
It's a pity that Huang Xiaoshi doesn't accept this trick.
After Huang Xiaoshi looked at King Cheng for a while, he pretended to shake his head and replied in Shu accent: "Who are you? I don't recognize you."
"Heh." King Cheng chuckled and said, "It's so necessary to know each other before we meet. I saw that you look a bit like a nephew of mine, so I couldn't help but call you."
"I don't have any relatives in my house. I'm dead. Say goodbye." Huang Xiaoshi said in Shuyin and refused three times in a row, and turned to leave.
Huang Xiaoshi turned around and was about to leave, but his hand was caught by King Cheng. He turned around and was about to have a fit when King Cheng smiled at him and said, "Young Master and I have a close affinity. When I saw that Young Master had just arrived, Feng Feng
Servant, how about I invite you to have a cup of tea?"
He was about to pretend again. Huang Xiaoshi hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
King Cheng gently held Huang Xiaoshi's hand and walked slowly forward, with two people behind him following suit.
Judging from their appearance, the tall and thin one, with weak skin and pale skin, and no fighting ability at first glance, should be a dog-headed military counselor. The other short and stocky guy has two knives on his body. Needless to say, he must be a personal guard.
.
King Cheng and Huang Xiaoshi didn't go far before they entered a teahouse called Piaoxianglou. The layout of this teahouse was pretty good, and at least one glance showed that the food here was very expensive.
What's even more rare is that in this broad daylight, except for the shopkeeper, there is not a single customer in the entire teahouse.
As soon as someone came to the door, the shopkeeper trotted over, nodded and bowed and said: "Dear guest, please come in, please come in."
The shopkeeper invited several people to the table, and the guard carried a bench to sit at the door of the store, while the tall and thin man stood behind King Cheng.
"Brother, please sit down too." Huang Xiaoshi said to the tall and thin man: "You are so tall and you are standing next to me, condescendingly. It puts a lot of pressure on me."
This tall and thin man is King Cheng's first think tank, Bai Jiuchi.
Bai Jiuchi was stunned for a moment after hearing Huang Xiaoshi's words. He lowered his head and glanced at King Cheng, only to see King Cheng lightly nodding his head. Bai Jiuchi then pulled up another bench next to him and sat down firmly.
Huang Xiaoshi looked at Bai Jiuchi's sitting posture, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: He dared to sit down with his whole buttocks, this guy's status is not low.
With a simple request to sit down, Huang Xiaoshi found out Bai Jiuchi's reality, but his knife beetle was still a little young, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was stared at by the old bird next to him.
After seeing the guest sit down, the shopkeeper asked with a nervous look on his face: "I wonder what kind of tea your guest would like to drink? I have a good Longjing tea here, both before dawn and rain."
Longjing tea depends on the picking time. Mingqian tea is picked and made before Qingming Festival, while Yuqian tea is picked and made from Qingming Festival to Guyu.
Mingqian tea has a soft taste and mellow tea aroma; Yuqian tea is fresh, strong and resistant to steeping, with strong flavor and quality.
On the other hand, the production of Mingqian tea is very rare, so it is very precious, at least the price is very expensive.
King Cheng smiled and said, "How about giving me a pot of Mingqian Longjing?"
This was naturally said to Huang Xiaoshi.
Huang Xiaoshi doesn't know what to do before it rains. As long as it's tea, it's fine. It's all water anyway, and it's the same after it passes through the throat.
It's not that Huang Xiaoshi is vulgar, but that he has never had the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of tea knowledge in his two lifetimes.
If we change the topic and ask him about his Coke preference, let's put it this way, Huang Xiaoshi can even tell you the brand of Coke from 1982.
The shopkeeper went to serve tea. There were only four people in Nuo Da's teahouse. There was no better "elegant room" than this one.
"I wonder where the young master comes from." King Cheng asked Huang Xiaoshi.
Huang Xiaoshi said with a countryman's restrained and honest look: "I came from Chengdu."
"Oh, Chengdu?" King Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "Chengdu is far away from Hangzhou. I wonder why the young master came here specially?"
"Hey, you don't know this. I'm here to deliver medicine." As soon as he talked about his professional matters, Huang Xiaoshi felt sleepy immediately. He could see that he was speaking in Shuyin without caring about what others could understand.
I didn’t understand, so I started to educate people about the magic of [Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill].
As a result, Huang Xiaoshi was very happy when he talked about it, and King Cheng kept praising him from the side.
Huang Xiaoshi has also been alone for a long time recently, and no one has spoken to him for a long time. Now that he has let go of his chatter, it is like a torrential river, the Yellow River is overflowing, and it is out of control.
Huang Xiaoshi became more and more excited as he talked, completely unaware that his Shuzhong accent gradually turned into Beijing dialect under the guidance of King Cheng.
…
Another moment, Hangzhou City.
As soon as they entered the city, the scholar and Danqing, who had been looking very serious all the way, immediately relaxed.
"We finally arrived in Hangzhou City." Danqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are so many beautiful scenery along the way, but I didn't even have time to draw them. I hurriedly hurriedly and slowly, and finally I wasn't late."
The scholar's face showed the usual unserious look on his face as he asked, "Speaking of which, when is the date Mr. Lu has made with us?"
Danqing brushed away the wet hair on his forehead with his hands and said, "Look at your bad memory. We have made an appointment to meet at Yichun Courtyard at 8:00 on the 17th."
Yichunyuan?
Even though Weiming was a foolish boy who had never seen the world, he knew that Yichunyuan was not a good place to go when he heard the name.
These two gentlemen are too fierce. Their students are still standing aside. They don't shy away from talking about this kind of thing. Are they not afraid of spoiling the children?
Wei Ming, blushing at the side, was pretending not to hear the conversation between the two old men, but Dan Qing turned to Wei Ming and said, "Wei Ming, Xu Shi, you have to come too."
"Ah?!" When Wei Ming heard this, he realized that he still had my share?
Before Weiming could say the next sentence, Danqing spoke: "Your master said, listen to us when you go out."
"Well, okay..." Weiming agreed with a certain amount of awkwardness, a certain amount of shyness, and a lot of expectation.
A brothel must cost a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Weiming reached out and touched his luggage gently. The hard and bulging items under the luggage gave him a lot of confidence.
As the saying goes, a man's wallet is his courage.
Wei Ming is very brave now.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Wei Ming. These two gentlemen called him, maybe they wanted him to settle the accounts for them.
Just when I thought of this, I was overwhelmed by the overwhelming passion.
Seeing the somewhat discouraged Wei Ming, the scholar burst out laughing. He patted Wei Ming on the shoulder with a senior smile and said, "Brother, this is also one of the fun things about coming to Hangzhou.
In addition, it is said that there is a strange woman in Yichun Courtyard, who is fascinated by everyone who has seen her, and is known as the most famous prostitute in Jiangnan..."
When the scholar said this, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and his saliva almost dripped out.
Danqing looked at him like that, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Old bookworm, I heard that this Xiangerqin player is a master, but if I want to see her, I have to pass the four levels of Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Can you do it?"
"Alas!" When the scholar heard this, his expression dropped. He sighed heavily and said, "Forget it. Although I pride myself on being a talented person, I have spent my whole life on poetry, books, and chess.
Painting these three things is beyond your reach."
After the scholar sighed to himself, he said unconvincedly: "Stupid painter, what about you?"
"Me?" Danqing shook his head and said with a smile: "I can definitely pass in calligraphy and painting, but I'm far behind in playing piano and chess."
"Alas." The scholar sighed in despair, "Miss Xiang'er is not only charming and graceful, but her song "Huanxisha" was even rated as her best song. I wish I could meet her, how sad, how sad..."
Before the scholar finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. He turned to Weiming and asked expectantly: "Brother Weiming, I remember you also learned piano and chess."
Weiming nodded honestly.
The scholar's "You must have learned it" is actually a very humble question. After all, if you study with the Seven Wise Sages, even a lump on the wood can bloom, not to mention that Wei Ming is the kind of person who is diligent and eager to learn.
"Okay!" The scholar shouted, he slapped the folding fan in his hand and said excitedly to Weiming: "The important task of meeting Miss Xiang'er tonight falls on you, little brother."
"Ah, this?" Weiming responded with a guilty conscience. At this time, what he was thinking about was neither Xiang'er, a famous prostitute with excellent sex skills, nor the four tests of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Weiming was most concerned about it now.
The thing is:
How much does that cost!!!
Just when Weiming was thinking about the silver in his suitcase, the scholar picked up the folding fan in his hand and tapped Weiming's shoulder, and then said: "Little brother, it's still early. Let's go shopping separately. See you in the morning."
After saying that, the scholar and Danqing walked away, leaving a confused Wei Ming behind.
Why did I take you to Hangzhou for fun? As soon as they arrived in Hangzhou, the two of them went on their own.
This person is unfamiliar with the place, what fun is there, what fun is there, it is really irritating.
At any rate, Weiming wasn't spoiled when he grew up, so he just walked around by himself, so Weiming walked towards the city. As a result, he just walked a few steps and met an acquaintance in the city.
"Isn't this Brother Jiang?" It was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Weiming was hiding when he saw Jiang Yu. As soon as he saw Jiang Yu, Balabala leaned closer to him.
"Brother Dongfang, what a coincidence, I meet you here." Jiang Yu greeted Wei Ming warmly after seeing him.
After the two exchanged a few useless polite words, Weiming was about to invite him to visit Hangzhou City together. After all, it was always difficult to meet an acquaintance. However, before Weiming could say anything, Jiang Yu said goodbye to him.
Jiang Yu left in a hurry. It was rare that he didn't say a single Buddhist word today, which was strange.
Wei Ming walked towards the city for a while, and with sharp eyes he saw a restaurant. This was not the point. The point was the beautiful woman wearing red clothes and a hat with long flowing hair next to the restaurant.
Wow, isn't this Qin Hongshang who has a "fiery bond" with Weiming?
No matter what, there is a restaurant ahead. How can a woman stop it?
Wei Ming walked straight towards the restaurant, and it turned out that the others were not blind. When Qin Hongshang saw Wei Ming walking towards him, he naturally recognized him.
Thinking of those embarrassing things back then, even the fierce Qin Hongshang blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
In order to prevent himself from being embarrassed, Qin Hongshang took the first step to embarrass others.
"Ah! Wei Ming, cough, Young Master Dongfang of Xiaoyao Valley!" Qin Hongshang's greeting was quite awkward, as if he was deliberately avoiding the "extraordinary" relationship with Wei Ming.
"What a coincidence, Miss Qin." Seeing that he couldn't get through, Weiming had no choice but to walk over with shame.
When I entered Xiaoyao Valley in the early Weiming Dynasty, I saw Qin Hongshang slashing people.
Yes, Qin Hongshang was the woman in red who bumped into Weiming who was going down the mountain for the first time.
Although they experienced a lot of unhappiness, the two finally completed their mission of eradicating evil.
Qin Hongshang is not the kind of person who has a weak heart and a small belly. After the two of them discovered through communication that it was all a misunderstanding, Qin Hongshang immediately put all the unhappy things behind him.
Today, it is a rare joy to meet an acquaintance in a foreign land.
"I didn't expect to meet each other in this Jiangnan water. What a coincidence." Qin Hongshang greeted Weiming enthusiastically.
If you only look at this scene, others will think that this woman is infinitely good.
After all, this Miss Qin has fair skin, black hair reaching her waist, delicate facial features that are slightly different from those of the Central Plains people, and an even more beautiful figure. She can be regarded as a first-rate beauty.
However, Weiming had never seen Qin Hongshang's fierceness.
This Miss Qin is straightforward and has a bad temper. She will pull out a knife if she doesn't even get the right words. Her preconceived image has been deeply ingrained in Wei Ming's heart and cannot be shaken.
"Miss Qin." Weiming stopped beating around the bush. After saying hello, he went straight to the point, "I smell the aroma of wine coming from this building. How about I treat you to a few drinks?"
When Qin Hongshang heard this, her eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles. She thought to herself, this man is really nice. He doesn't hold any grudge against her at all, and he even wants to treat her to a drink.
Of course, this illusion comes entirely from Qin Hongshang's lack of understanding of Wei Ming. The real core of Wei Ming's words is "have a few drinks" rather than "I treat you".
I have been traveling so fast these days, and the wine gourd I carried with me has long been empty. Wei Ming was able to endure the journey, but as soon as I entered the city and smelled the aroma of wine, my whole body felt itchy.
Just when Qin Hongshang was about to agree to Weiming, he heard someone coughing next to him.
"Young Master Dongfang." A man wearing white clothes, a blue coat, and a red scarf wrapped around his head saluted Wei Ming and said, "I'm in Perak Hall, Wang Dongmin."
"I've met Brother Wang." Weiming returned the salute to Wang Dongmin, but after hearing Wang Dongmin's words, something seemed to flash in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Wang Dongmin said to Weiming: "The wine in Jiangnan is not as good as the strong wine in Saibei. We can't get used to it." After saying that, he turned to Qin Hongshang and said: "Right, Protector Qin.
"
"Ah, yes, yes." Qin Hongshang suddenly realized, and she said to Weiming: "Young Master, you are too polite. We have important matters in the gang when we come to Hangzhou this time. Next time, we will invite Young Master Dongfang for a drink."
After saying that, Qin Hongshang turned his head and glanced at the restaurant, then reluctantly left with his two subordinates.
As long as you have wine to drink, it doesn't matter whether it's south of the Yangtze River or north of Saibei, it doesn't matter if you drink it till you're in your stomach.
Seeing Qin Hongshang leaving, Weiming rushed towards the restaurant excitedly. Suddenly, in a flash of lightning, he remembered the thing that he had not caught in a flash.
Perak Hall?
Isn’t it in the Western Region? Why did you end up in Hangzhou?
