Guided by two beautiful maids, Xiang Shaolong passed through a long corridor and stepped into a courtyard. The music and people in the front yard gradually became inaudible.
Even under the lights, you can still see that there are many flowers planted in the courtyard and various bonsais are arranged. It is elegant, quiet and thoughtful.
There is a fish pond and a rockery mountain in the center of the courtyard, with green grass and the chirping of insects and cicadas. It makes people wonder that this is actually a brothel, and it feels like returning home.
The two beautiful maids who led the way were whispering to each other from time to time, talking in low voices and smiling coquettishly. They often turned around and smiled coquettishly, doing their best to tease.
Xiang Shaolong knew that he had the charm to attract women, and with his status as the commander of the cavalry, these women who came out to make fun of him were naturally proud to have a relationship with him.
Since he took up this coveted position, Xiang Shaolong has been busy with both public and private matters, and all the work of contacting the common people has been done by his subordinates. Today, he has personally experienced the "people's sentiments" and felt the social status and glory of the Duqi Commander.
.
No wonder so many people want to be officials.
People like Pu Bu and Liu Chao who depend on him must be very prosperous at ordinary times.
After turning around the rockery mountain, a two-story independent courtyard appeared in front of us. There were more than a dozen imperial guards and imperial guards guarding the entrance. They were all personal followers of Chang Wenjun, Guan Zhongxie and others, and they were familiar with each other.
Although they could only stand outside the door, they were not lonely. They were flirting with a group of pretty maids, and it was so lively. When they saw Xiang Shaolong arriving on his own and stood in awe, they couldn't help but feel excited.
Surprised.
Xiang Shaolong walked into the brightly lit hall with a smile as the maid announced his arrival.
In the spacious hall, there are two seats on the left and right, filled with wine and food.
Guan Zhongxie, Lord Changping, and Lord Changwen each occupied a seat. Seeing his arrival, they stood up and saluted happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The beautiful prostitutes who served the wine all knelt down and kowtowed, full of humility.
Guan Zhong smiled evilly and said: "Master Xiang is late. Although it is excusable, I still punish you with three glasses of wine first so that everyone can be on the same level in terms of drunkenness. Otherwise, if you drink it, you will not be able to fight Master Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong felt more and more that Guan Zhongxie was very eloquent and that his words were meaningful, so he smiled and said: "Master Guan's words are like your sword, which makes Mr. Xiang feel irresistible. How dare you disobey me?"
After sitting down, a beautiful woman came over from Guan Zhongxie's table and poured wine for him.
Xiang Shaolong watched the fine wine being poured into the glass. The crystal clear liquid reminded him of brandy. He was so excited for a moment that he put his hand on the beautiful prostitute who was kneeling beside him and poured the wine for him. He said softly: "What's wrong with this young lady?"
call?"
Lord Changping on the opposite side laughed and said: "This is really a strange news in Xianyang City. It turns out that Shaolong is actually a master among flowers."
Chang Wenjun interjected: "Shaolong is a master, otherwise how could he take Ji Cainnu into his own family? The elder brother said he should be a veteran of the brothel."
The beautiful prostitute cast a flirtatious look at Xiang Shaolong and replied shyly: "My name is Yang Yu, Master Xiang, please don't forget it."
Xiang Shaolong felt his whole body relaxed.
He had been so nervous these past few days that he almost couldn't breathe.
What he needs now is to enjoy Xianyang's nightlife, which is full of sex and pleasure, forget about kindness, and narcotize himself in the drunken and dreamy atmosphere of a brothel, where he doesn't know what the world is like.
Drink up the wine in one gulp.
All the men and women cheered and cheered him up.
Guan Zhongxie, who was sitting under him, turned his head and said, "Wait a moment, please order Sir Xiang before you drink the second glass of wine."
Xiang Shaolong looked at the food and wine on the table in astonishment, and asked curiously: "Isn't it already ordered?"
Everyone burst into laughter immediately.
Chang Wenjun held his stomach and suppressed a smile and said: "I ordered beauties to accompany the wine and sing. There are only two of them, so as not to be unable to get out of bed and go to the hunting ground tomorrow."
Guan Zhongxie said: "The host has left some of the most popular girls behind to wait for the guests, so that we won't have any delicious food to order while we wait for Master Xiang."
This remark caused another burst of laughter.
Lord Changping said: "The people around us, Shaolong, can also be invited to accompany us for drinks. Seeing that you are the first to arrive in this noble realm, I will let you do it."
The two women beside him immediately laughed and scolded him, and the hall became noisy.
Xiang Shaolong was holding the second glass of wine that Yang Yu poured for him with both hands. He laughed dumbly and said: "I didn't force you to give it to me. Don't do anything if you force me. Tonight, I only ordered Miss Guiyan to accompany me with the wine, because I have a headache."
When the bell rings, I will go back."
Yang Yu next to him, the beautiful prostitutes next to the three of them, and the pretty maids kneeling behind them all made coquettish sounds.
Guan Zhongxie sighed: "Unless Mr. Xiang has the heart to kill people with his sword, there is no way that the girl in this building will let you go home and sleep tonight."
Yang Yu poured the third glass of wine for him and said in a soft voice: "Can I let you sleep with Mr. Xiang tonight?"
Xiang Shaolong drank the wine in one gulp and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. My leg injury has not healed yet, and I am really powerless. Please understand me, dear brothers and sisters."
Guan Zhongxie said apologetically: "It's because we are not smart and we should all be punished by drinking wine."
Xiang Shaolong cursed in his heart, you kid clearly wanted to use this to test the severity of my leg injury. Of course, there was no trace on the surface. He raised his glass and drank while the toast was heard.
Yang Yu whispered: "My lord, please don't forget to come to see me again." Then he knelt down, bowed his head and walked back to Guan Zhongxie's seat, his movements were extremely seductive.
Chang Wenjun said: "There is one dish that Shaolong must order, otherwise my two brothers and the governor will be disappointed, and that is Shan Meimei, a girl who no one in Xianyang City has not heard of."
Xiang Shaolong knew that Guan Zhongxie was watching his reaction to the name so that he could judge whether he knew that Shan Meimei was seducing Wu Tingwei. He deliberately did not reveal any flaws and said with a dumb smile: "Then I am in Xianyang.
My ears are elsewhere, why have I never heard of such a beauty?"
The girls who were jealous of Shan Meimei immediately cheered and applauded him, and the situation was chaotic and lively.
Guan Zhongxie exclaimed: "Fortunately, Shan Meimei's ears are not here, otherwise she would never come. Maybe when she hears Mr. Xiang's name in the future, she will hide her ears in revenge. Come and invite Miss Yan and Mr. Xiang back."
Shan Meimei and two beauties are here. I am the host tonight, so naturally I should serve my guests with the best things."
Although these words are a bit domineering, they make people feel comfortable and unable to refuse.
The pretty maid took the order and went.
Guan Zhongxie vigorously clapped his hands three times, and the hall immediately became silent.
Although the female musicians sitting next to the door are a little older, they all still have charm and beauty. No wonder Zui Feng Tower is called the top brothel in Xianyang. If they hadn't been famous here, they might not be qualified to sit here.
The female musician responded and played melodious music.
The side doors on the left and right sides of the hall were opened, and a group of singing and dancing prostitutes ran out singing and dancing. The gauze concealed the infinite spring scenery inside, flying all over the place like a group of butterflies, which was attractive to the eyes and full of sensual entertainment.
Xiang Shaolong took a closer look at them and found that they were all between eighteen and nineteen years old, with good looks and excellent quality.
In this era of war, boys were valued over girls, and poor families often sold their girls. When Xiang Shaolong first met Tao Fang, the latter was looking for beauties everywhere. This is probably how the group of young singers in front of him came.
.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of Tingfang who died of illness. I felt bitter in my heart and wanted to leave immediately.
In a daze, the music stopped, and the singers returned to the side hall after saluting.
The beautiful maids came up to add wine for everyone.
The gatekeeper sang: "Miss Guiyan has arrived"
Xiang Shaolong calmed down his emotions and looked at Gui Yan, who was walking into the hall Yingying. He secretly thought that the name had some meaning. Maybe Gui Yan was from somewhere else and was overcome with homesickness, so he chose this name.
After Gui Yan bowed to everyone one by one, she walked over to Xiang Shaolong's table and sat down. All the girls looked envious.
Before Xiang Shaolong had a chance to speak, Gui Yan had already arrived on his knees, leaning half of his body next to Xiang Shaolong, pouring wine for him, with a smile like a flower and saying: "Your Majesty, please give me a drink first."
Guan Zhongxie and the other three immediately burst into laughter.
Chang Wenjun said: "This is called a two-pronged approach of mixing soup with wine and soup. Shaolong, be careful that you can't get out of Zui Feng Tower tonight because your legs are injured."
Gui Yan was surprised and said: "Is your leg injured, sir?"
Xiang Shaolong smelled the fragrance of clothes coming from her delicate body, secretly thinking that the allure of a woman should not be underestimated, especially when she deliberately tries to please and seduce you. On that day, Zhao Mu forced Zhao Ya to use aphrodisiacs on him.
, the honey trap has worked in ancient and modern times.
Thinking of this, I remembered the way Guan Zhongxie looked at me when he talked about Shan Meimei, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat secretly.
I was really careless. If the drink just now was poisoned, I would have been completely defeated.
Mo Ao is a master of poisoning. Maybe there is a way to delay the poisoning for a few days. Then no one will suspect that the evil master is responsible.
Seeing his expression change slightly, Gui Yan thought his leg was injured, so she took a sip of wine with her lips, then put it to his lips and said, "Wine can relieve pain. Please drink, sir."
Xiang Shaolong felt relieved when he saw that she really took a sip, and took a sip from her hand.
At the same time, my mind was spinning.
It is not easy to bribe the girls from the brothel to deal with the commander of the capital, because it is a serious crime that affects the entire brothel, and will definitely cause a big disturbance. Guan Zhongxie will not reveal this conspiracy to others casually.
.So if you want to find someone to attack, the only possibility is to find Dan Meimei, because she has been addicted to the drug a long time ago, and she is obedient. Thinking of this, she has already started to care.
Chang Wenjun smiled and said: "Gui Yan is so good, Shao Long should reward her with a mouthful."
Gui Yan was so shy that she "squeaked" and fell into Xiang Shaolong's arms. Her left hand tightly wrapped around his waist without any excess fat, and her right hand hugged his thick neck. She raised her pretty face and half-closed her starry eyes.
Breathing nervously.
Pressed by her tall and plump breasts, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but feel moved when he saw her moving expression full of youthful love. He lowered his head and kissed her softly on the lips.
Everyone applauded and cheered.
Gui Yan reluctantly let him go and said slightly angrily: "Your Excellency is so stingy." Then she lowered her voice and said: "Your Excellency is even stronger than a liger."
The doorman then sang: "Miss Shan Meimei has arrived."
The hall suddenly became quiet, and all eyes focused on the main entrance.
Amidst the sound of ringing, a tall and graceful beauty walked in.
When Xiang Shaolong took a look at it, he couldn't help but be moved.
Shan Meimei is in her early twenties, with longing eyes, sweet lips, and a smile on her face. The most touching thing is that she has an innocent, fairy-like temperament that makes men want to protect and cherish her.
.In contrast, all the beautiful prostitutes in the hall immediately became little stars worthy of worshiping Shan Meimei, the bright moon.
The wind music started playing at the right time.
Shanmei turned around gracefully and began to dance.
In the light of the lights, her undergarment, embroidered with flowers and birds with gold threads, fluttered and shone, making her look more like a fairy who should not belong to this world.
The most popular courtesan in Xianyang was taking care of herself in the middle of the hall, making a sultry expression, vomiting softly, and singing along with the music.
Her voice is pure and sweet without any impurities, and is very sexy.
Xiang Shaolong could only roughly understand the lyrics. It was about a young woman who was bathing in love. When she missed her lover, she suddenly received a piece of silk sent by her husband from afar, with pairs of mandarin ducks woven on it.
The decoration of water made her both elated and confused.
In conjunction with her dancing postures, hand movements, closed eyes and expressions, Shan Meimei interprets the sentiments so vividly that even Xiang Shaolong fell in love with her.
Her temperament and appearance were only slightly inferior to those of Ji Yanran and Qin Qing. It was unbelievable that there would be such a beautiful woman in a brothel.
Xiang Shaolong wonders in his heart, a beauty like her who is both beautiful and talented should have been favored by the powerful for a long time, so why does she still show her face here?
Just listen to her singing: "Cut into a quilt of acacia, covered with long lovesickness, bound by an incomprehensible knot."
The singing and music stopped slowly, and everyone's souls returned to their places, cheering loudly.
Shan Meifen bowed to both sides, then walked towards Xiang Shaolong with a light step.
Xiang Shaolong reminded himself that the beauty in front of him was actually a snake and scorpion in the appearance of a fairy. Then he clapped his hands and stood up, smiling and said: "Welcome to Miss Shan."
Shan Meimei smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes drifted to Xiang Shaolong's face, and suddenly lit up, flashing through a complex expression of surprise, appreciation, contradiction and thoughtfulness.
Xiang Shaolong now had no doubt that Shan Meimei was indeed the tool used by Guan Zhongxie and Mo Ao to assassinate him, otherwise her eyes wouldn't be so strange.
Her eyes knew how to speak so well, and when they fell into the eyes of a caring person like Xiang Shaolong, they revealed the emotions in her heart.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong naturally reminded her of Lover Poison, and the reason why she was surprised was that Xiang Shaolong gave people the overall impression that he was better than Poison, and he had a heroic spirit that Poison could not match.
Shan Meimei subconsciously avoided Xiang Shaolong's eyes, lowered her head, came to the other side of Xiang Shaolong, and knelt down.
Xiang Shaolong stole a glance at Guan Zhongxie and saw him staring closely at Shan Meimei. His pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle showed a nervous expression for the first time, indicating that he felt that Shan Meimei had moved Xiang Shaolong's heart.
Xiang Shaolong leaned over and reached out, grabbed her sharp shoulders, and helped her up.
Shan Meimei raised her pretty face, puffed out her cherry lips, and breathed out softly: "Shan Meimei pays homage to Mr. Xiang." Then she lowered her head again, with a gentle expression that made me feel pity for him.
But Xiang Shaolong knew that there was something wrong in her heart, so he was afraid of his clear gaze.
Lord Changping smiled and said, "Has our beautiful lady been moved by the sight of Lord Xiang? She has become so shy and reluctant to speak, which is very attractive."
Chang Wenjun continued: "Master Xiang's leg injury will be cured immediately."
This sentence caused another roar of laughter.
When Xiang Shaolong helped her sit down together, Guan Zhongxie said: "A hero is matched with a beauty, but a beauty alone has not first offered Master Xiang a glass of wine as a meeting gift."
Xiang Shaolong paid attention to Shan Meimei, and when he saw her delicate body trembled slightly when she heard the words, and her beautiful eyes turned, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He knew that Guan Zhongxie was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he forced her to take action immediately.
Mo Ao's move was really clever. If Xiang Shaolong didn't know that Shan Meimei was Du's mistress, he would have been killed and still wouldn't know what happened.
Shan Meimei hesitated for a moment, then she took out Sai Xue Qishuang's jade hands from her wide sleeves and poured wine from the cup for Xiang Shaolong.
Seeing her ponytail with jade hairpins on her head, her black hair and fragrant fragrance, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but hate Guan Zhongxie for having the heart to let such a beautiful girl do such an evil thing.
Shan Meimei's beautiful hands were trembling slightly.
Gui Yan on the other side leaned into Xiang Shaolong's ear and whispered: "Master, you have forgotten the slave family."
Xiang Shaolong was deep in thought when he heard this and reached out, put his arm around Gui Yan's waist and kissed her on the cheek.
At this time, Shan Meimei held up the full glass of wine and said softly: "Meimei will drink half of it first. The rest represents Meimei's respect for you, sir. Please give me your respect."
He raised the cup with one hand and covered it with his wide sleeve with the other hand. With an extremely graceful gesture, he lifted the cup and drank without making any sound.
Xiang Shaolong paid close attention and saw her hand that was not holding the cup making slight movements in her sleeve, and he knew that she was taking the opportunity to put poison into the wine.
His broad sleeves drooped, and he held the cup with both hands instead, bringing it to Xiang Shaolong's lips, but his eyes dropped.
Mr. Changping and others applauded.
Xiang Shaolong looked at the half-cup of wine left in front of him, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Should he reveal the mystery of the poisoned wine on the spot? This may be the best opportunity to deal with Guan Zhongxie.
