Not to mention the small ones, there are more than ten brothels covering an area of 100 acres. Which brothel does not produce an oiran to attract attention every year? There is even an oiran competition every year. Which brothel produces an oiran and wins the first place?
The business of this brothel will not be too bad in the next year.
But people's hearts are fickle. Regardless of whether it was an oiran who was highly sought after at the time, after a few months, the interest of the drinkers waned, the court would become deserted, and the social status would fall to the bottom, let alone secure the position of oiran.
But the most amazing thing about Yu Yan is that not only did she secure the position of courtesan, she also held it for five years.
In the early years, she was recommended as the oiran by Baihualou. At that time, the people in the royal capital spread word of mouth and were shocked by the sudden appearance of the girl. What is enviable is that she is not only beautiful, but also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
They are all excellent. Even the prince Ji Quan was deeply involved and spent a lot of money to get a kiss.
It's a pity that Li Mulin was at the height of his popularity at that time. Prince Li led more than a hundred White Wolf Army to directly surround Baihua Tower. He asked everyone by name to ask Miss Yuyan to accompany him, otherwise the White Wolf Army would kill the entire Baihua Tower.
Not a blade of grass grows.
No one dares to doubt the limit of this playboy's wanton behavior, just like no one knows how many victorious battles Li Mulin has fought at the border.
From that day on, this girl Yuyan became Prince Li's forbidden love.
Except for Li Danqing himself, it is even more difficult for others to meet him, let alone a happy kiss.
It wasn't until Li Danqing was exiled to Yangshan that this beautiful flower that only belonged to Li Danqing once again showed its beauty in front of the dignitaries in Wuyang City.
…
Logically speaking, no matter how beautiful a girl is after four years, she should be nothing more than yesterday's flower. But I don't know if someone is deliberately pushing it behind the scenes. The value of Yu Yan, the girl who left Li Danqing, has increased sharply. Every day, even if she just wants
Listening to one of her songs at a close distance cost thousands of taels of money. As for Yiqin Fangze, there have been a lot of rumors over the past year, but there is probably no one who has actually raised a gun and mounted a horse.
Yang Guan as a man.
In his own opinion, he is a normal man. He is also one of Yuyan's many fanatical suitors. Of course, he still knows his identity. Ichikin Fangze estimates that he will not be able to marry until Yuyan is forty or fifty years old.
People were old and young at that time, otherwise even if they were lined up one by one, his little commander would not get his turn.
But this does not hinder Yang Guan's enthusiasm for Yuyan.
He collected everything about that woman almost pathologically, and even spent a lot of money to find out some of Yu Yan's private situations from Yu Yan's maid.
For example, over the past year, Miss Yuyan has often looked at the bronze mirror and muttered something like this - all encounters in this world are miracles.
Yang Guan didn't know whether the encounter with Li Danqing in front of him was a miracle.
but……
At least the shock it brought to his mind was no different than a miracle.
His feet went weak, and the memories about Li Danqing came to his mind at this moment, and he collapsed on the ground with a bang.
Most of the soldiers beside him were newly recruited soldiers. Fortunately, they had seen the famous Li Shizi. They thought that their commander had suffered internal injuries from the kick just now, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but this time, he fell to the ground.
However, Yang Guan seemed to have lost his soul and could not stand upright no matter how hard he tried to hold him up.
Li Danqing sneered and had no intention of getting into more trouble with these clowns. Compared to their ugliness, Li Danqing was more concerned about the old housekeeper in front of him.
"Uncle Zhou, Danqing came back late." He looked at the other person and said softly.
That sentence, "Uncle Zhou," made the man who was nearly fifty years old unable to hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, and broke the dam at that moment.
"Alas." He responded, and Liu Yanzhen and Jiang Yu hurried forward and helped him up from the ground.
He didn't have the intention to dwell on the pain radiating throughout his body. He just looked at Li Danqing in front of him with flashing eyes, looking up and down, over and over again.
It was as if he wanted to make sure that what he saw before him was not false, nor that he was suffering from longing.
Thousands of words came to his mind. He wanted to ask how he was doing in Yangshan and whether he was used to eating. I heard that Yingshui County was very cold in winter. Did he freeze? The Youyun people were all barbarians. Did he get used to it?
Hurt.
I also want to talk about things in Wuyang City. He originally planned to go to the master's tomb every day, but then he injured his foot and the family didn't have much money. He didn't need to use the items in the house. He wanted the prince to see it when he came back.
He looked the same as when he left. He was frugal and was reluctant to hire anyone, so he could only go there once every three days, but every time he cleaned it clean. Compared with the famous servants next to him,
All the kings, grandsons and nobles must be clean.
He also wanted to say that the crown prince's favorite crabapple in the courtyard was in bloom, but unfortunately it faded again before the crown prince came back. The peach tree in the west courtyard also bore fruit, and the fruit was sweeter than last year. He put it in the ice cellar, but
If it has been frozen for too long, it will lose its flavor.
Zhou Qiushen had thousands of words in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, he spit out just one sentence.
"Your Majesty... lost weight..."
Li Danqing's body trembled obviously. He took the handkerchief from Qingzhu's hand, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood stains from the corners of Zhou Qiushen's mouth, and said softly: "You are strong now."
This was of course a very warm and particularly touching scene. Lu Shude behind him was also inexplicably infected and his eyes were red. Even Shi Ziju, who had never dealt with Li Danqing, became silent for a rare moment.
Word.
It's a pity that some people don't have eyesight after all.
"Asshole! How dare you hurt Commander Yang! You know who we are!"
"Can you bear the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Now kneel down and beg for mercy and we can still keep your whole body!"
The soldiers brought by Yang Guan shouted at this time.
They are not stupid, but they really don't recognize Li Danqing. Ever since he joined the Black Tiger Guard, Yang Guan has been leading them. He is domineering and domineering, and it is almost embedded in their instincts to watch others eat.
They had also learned a lot about Yang Guan's ability to recognize people by their clothes. At this moment, they just thought they had met some reckless martial arts disciple. Even if the other party's cultivation level was higher, he had beaten Yang Guan into this state.
But in Wuyang City, cultivation is not a hard currency.
Naturally, they had enough confidence to angrily scold the guys in front of them who did not look like dignitaries in their clothes.
And such a sensible approach will be appreciated by Yang Guan in the future. Among the items moved from Li's house, there must be one or two rare goods. Even if it is just an inconspicuous hairpin, it is enough to be worth their money.
years or years of salary.
The soldiers were secretly proud of their wit, but they did not feel at all that their commander's face was getting paler.
Li Danqing, who was not in a depressed mood, turned his head here.
Shi Leng glanced at the shouting soldiers and didn't say much. He just said lightly: "Slap your mouth."
The soldiers sneered when they heard this, secretly thinking that this guy was probably going crazy and was about to say something else.
"Zhang Zui..." But at this moment, a faint voice came from the side.
Everyone was stunned and looked there, only to see that the person who made the sound was their leader Yang Guan.
They quickly came to their senses, and a thin soldier hurriedly spoke first: "The commander is still worried. These guys are so violent, and the commander only punishes them slightly. Don't worry, commander, I will go and give that guy a raise."
Learn a lesson."
As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but he just took a step forward...
Snapped!
Hearing a muffled sound, the soldier suddenly felt a burning pain in his cheek, his eyes were filled with stars, and he became dizzy.
The soldier's body froze in place, and he looked behind him in confusion, only to see that Yang Guan, who had just been "beaten" and seriously injured, seemed to have taken a panacea. Not only did he stand up straight, but his face was glowing red.
, couldn’t be better.
But even though his commander was fine, the soldier still felt a little aggrieved by the slap. At this moment, he covered his face, looked at Yang Guan aggrievedly, and said, "Commander, did you hit the wrong person?"
Already..."
"Wrong spank!" Yang Guan said furiously at this moment.
As he said this, he slapped the soldier again. The soldier who was covering one cheek was caught off guard, and the other half of his face was also hit hard. He spun around and fell straight to the ground.
on the ground.
The other soldiers around him also came to their senses at this time and looked at Yang Guan with strange expressions, as if they were trying to gauge whether the commander in front of him had been beaten to the point of having his brain broken just now.
"This is Prince Wuyang! Li Danqing!"
"Didn't you hear what the prince said? Palm mouth!"
Yang Guan didn't care about face at this moment. Although when facing Zhou Qiushen, he was bold and did not take Li Danqing seriously, but in fact he knew that even if the people above really wanted to suppress Li Danqing,
On the surface, Li Danqing is still not someone he can afford to mess with.
He originally thought about making another profit today, and then finding an opportunity to kill Zhou Qiushen without anyone noticing. In this way, Li Danqing returned to Wuyang City, and there was no way to investigate if he wanted to take revenge. But he didn't
What came to mind was that Li Danqing arrived in Wuyang City several days earlier than expected...
The game between big shots is a meticulous matter. A little guy like him takes the lead, but he can lose his life at any time!
The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and after a brief moment of astonishment, they finally confirmed that their commander was not crazy.
Li Danqing's name was also very familiar to them. After coming back to their senses, they did not dare to have any doubts. They quickly gathered all their strength and slapped themselves hard.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The crisp sound of the palm falling on the face echoed in front of the Li Mansion. The door was also filled with pedestrians who were attracted by the sound. They pointed at the house, marveling at Li Danqing's return.
I am also surprised that after all these years, Li Danqing still has not changed the slightest bit of his stubbornness.
A full twenty breaths passed, and the soldiers slapped their faces red, their cheeks were swollen like pig heads, their mouths and noses were bleeding, and they looked really miserable.
"Prince... Do you think you are satisfied with this..." Yang Guan quickly looked at Li Danqing, licking his face, and asked cautiously.
But Li Danqing squinted his eyes and stared at him coldly: "I said... slap your mouth!"
Yang Guan's face turned pale when he said this, and he immediately reacted. A sinister look flashed across his eyes, but he smiled sarcastically the next moment.
"I am stupid, I am stupid, I have made the prince waste more time talking."
After Yang Guan said this, he stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard, again and again.
He used great force every time, and after more than ten strokes, his cheeks became red and swollen, and his whole person looked very funny, without any of the arrogance of imitation porcelain.
He stopped his hand at this moment and ignored the burning pain on his cheeks. Instead, he looked at Li Danqing and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you still satisfied?"
Li Danqing glanced at them and just whispered: "Get out."
After saying this, he lost interest in paying attention to them, and turned to look at Zhou Qiushen, as if Yang Guan and his party were just a bunch of insignificant wild dogs in his eyes.
As the commander of the Black Tiger Guards, Yang Guan is certainly far from being a high-ranking official, but after all, he has military power in his hands. Most people in Wuyang City are polite when meeting him, but at this moment, he was so humiliated by Li Danqing.
His heart was full of dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to show it. He just glanced at Li Danqing angrily, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and then you will turn around and leave."
Such a flash of ferocity, although he thought he had done it secretly enough, could not escape the eyes of Qingzhu next to Li Danqing. She frowned and whispered in Li Danqing's ear: "Young Master, this is
people……"
But before the words came out, Li Danqing stretched out his hand and interrupted what Qingzhu was about to say. He said: "It's okay. We just returned to Wuyang City. The attitude of the court is not yet clear. It is not appropriate to make too many enemies."
…”
Seeing Li Danqing's calm expression, Qingzhu secretly felt that what Li Danqing said made sense, so he nodded and retreated again.
Li Danqing then looked at Zhou Qiushen and said, "Uncle Zhou, you have worked hard these days."
Zhou Qiushen's eyes turned red and he shook his head repeatedly.
"It's not hard work! It's all my responsibility... By the way, the prince must be very tired from the long journey. There are still two pots of Yu Fengchun in the house. This wine is the royal wine paid tribute to the imperial court in southern Xinjiang. In the past, the general would
Every time I come back to the mansion, I drink two jars of it, saying that I am very tired! Your Majesty, please wait for a moment, and I will get it for you."
It could be seen that Zhou Qiushen was in a good mood and did not take the criticism he had just received to heart at all. For this old housekeeper, Li Danqing's return was the greatest blessing in the world.
Naturally, Li Danqing would not disobey him. At that time, he smiled and nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhou."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiushen excitedly turned around and walked into the door behind him, but as soon as he took a step forward, Li Danqing's brows suddenly frowned - Zhou Qiushen's steps were limping, and his right foot was not moving at all.
He exerted all his strength, almost dragging himself on the ground.
"Uncle Zhou...your feet..." Li Danqing asked.
When these words came out, Zhou Qiushen's footsteps stopped, and Yang Guan and others behind him were even more excited as they were about to walk out of the courtyard.
Zhou Qiushen turned his head and hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm getting older, and I accidentally broke my leg one night... It's okay, it's okay..."
Naturally, the leg was not broken, but not long after Li Danqing left, when Yang Guan and others came to collect their belongings for an excuse, Zhou Qiushen argued with him and was interrupted by the other party. But Zhou Qiushen also understood that there was something behind Yang Guan.
The bigger background was that he didn't want Li Danqing, who had just received divine grace and was recalled to Wuyang City, to get into trouble, so he chose to conceal the matter.
But Li Danqing was keenly aware of the strange behavior of Yang Guan and others just now. Qingzhu beside him had a similar mind to Li Danqing, so he naturally understood what Li Danqing meant. The girl's figure flashed, and she came to the door of the house and stopped Yang
Watch the others' path.
Yang Guan, who thought he had escaped and ascended to heaven, felt his heart skip a beat and stopped. At this moment, he turned his face, which was as swollen as a pig's head, and looked at Li Danqing with a smile, and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
meaning?"
"Your Majesty, this is really the result of my own carelessness..." Zhou Qiushen was frightened when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward, fearing that Li Danqing's young and energetic spirit would cause trouble for him.
However, Li Danqing reached out and patted the back of the other party's hand, and whispered softly: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."
Zhou Qiushen was stunned for a moment. Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he still retracted his hand at this moment.
Li Danqing immediately walked up to Yang Guan and his party, squinted his eyes and asked: "As the commander of the Black Tiger Guard, Commander Yang is responsible for maintaining public order in Wuyang City. I think he should know that the injury on my Uncle Zhou's foot is
What's going on?"
Li Danqing's tone was calm, but his face was as cold as ice. Yang Guan couldn't tell what Li Danqing was thinking, but he felt a little guilty instinctively. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The prince is joking, I'm just a commander, where can I
Being able to see everything clearly, the butler's injuries this week..."
"ah!!!"
Before he finished speaking, a heart-rending wail sounded from his mouth.
A green sword light flashed across, and the index finger of his right hand was cut off by the green light at that time. The index finger fell to the ground, and blood rushed out.
The huge pain made Yang Guan's face turn pale. He knelt on the ground holding his hand with a broken finger, wailing incessantly.
Zhou Qiushen was shocked when he saw this, and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Liu Yanzhen walked up to him at this moment and smiled sweetly at him: "Don't worry, uncle, leave this matter to the dean, no problem
of."
Zhou Qiushen's heart was pounding, but when he saw that the group of people brought back by Li Danqing all looked calm, they were probably infected by this emotion, so he suppressed his worries a little.
…
"What did Commander Yang say? You are the commander of the Black Tiger Guard, but you are ordered by the emperor to protect the safety of the people in the imperial city. How could you not know about such a thing? Why don't Commander Yang think about it carefully, or I'm here
Help you recall the memories?" Li Danqing's voice sounded at this time, his voice was still calm, but his eyes were looking at Yang Guan's palm intentionally or unintentionally, and the threat was beyond words.
The people standing outside the mansion were even more silent at this moment.
I thought that after being trained in Yangshan, Li Danqing would have to restrain his stubborn temper, but I didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Wuyang City, he would attack the Imperial City's Imperial Guards with swords.
Before, it was even worse...
Yang Guan trembled when he heard this. He quickly suppressed the wailing in his mouth, sweat dripped from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Just now... didn't Butler Zhou say just now... he fell on his own..."
"ah!!!"
Before that word was spoken, it turned into a wail that was several times more heartbreaking than before.
Another green light flashed through, and this time, what fell from him was the entire palm of his right hand.
Blood rushed out like a pillar, and the huge pain caused Yang Guan to roll on the ground and wail, almost fainting.
However, Li Danqing's expression remained as usual, and he did not seem to be aroused by the bloody scene in front of him. He stretched out one foot and held down Yang Guan, who was rolling on the ground.
"Commander Yang, what's missing next time is your right arm!"
"Think again about how Uncle Zhou's leg was injured!"
Li Danqing asked in a cold voice.
After seeing Li Danqing's ruthless methods, Yang Guan no longer had any luck in his heart. He looked at Li Danqing in front of him. The other person was so calm that he looked like a dead person, which made waves of turbulent emotions rise in his heart.
Fear, and such fear made Yang Guan almost forget the pain of the broken palm.
"Yes...I interrupted."
"I interrupted."
He was breathing heavily and spoke with a trembling voice.
Fear invaded his entire heart at this time, and he only thought about surviving. The so-called dignity and the so-called future were no longer important at this time, and they were not worth mentioning.
"But this was not my original intention. It was all what the commander-in-chief Mang Ku ordered me to do!"
He hurriedly brought out the name of Mangku at this time, hoping to make Li Danqing afraid.
But after saying this, when he looked at Li Danqing, what he saw in the eyes of His Royal Highness was only cold murderous intent.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be doomed. It was difficult for him to accept such a fate. At that time, he continued to speak loudly: "Li Danqing! You can't kill me!"
"The commander-in-chief of Mangku has a good relationship with the prince. His father Mang Huan also serves as the commander of the Shenhu Army and the governor of the Longxiang Mansion. If you kill me, you will offend the Longxiang Mansion and the prince..."
He said this, but today Yang Guan seems destined not to be lucky enough to say a sentence completely.
The words suddenly stopped at this moment, a green light flashed, and a head rolled to the ground, like a ball rolling on the ground, dragging red and white things, and it took a while to slowly stop.
There was an exclamation of surprise all around, the onlookers outside the palace gate turned pale, and the soldiers inside the palace gate were limp.
But Li Danqing didn't care at all about the fact that a court official died in his hands. He just slowly turned his head and looked at the group of soldiers brought by Yang Guan.
Seeing their commander die in front of them, these soldiers were frightened. Facing Li Danqing's gaze, they all knelt on the ground with a plop, shouting words of begging for their lives.
However, Li Danqing waved his hand half-heartedly and asked, "Is your leader called Mang Ku?"
The group of soldiers didn't dare hesitate at all at this time, and they nodded in response, fearing that they would end up with the same fate as Yang Guan if they were too late.
"Then go ahead."
"Within half a day, I want him..."
Li Danqing said this, pointed to the blood stains on the ground, and said again.
"Clean this yard clean for me."
Finally, his eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in the slits of his eyes.
