The Star-Zhaing Tower is eight stories high. No one remembers when it was built. It was already there when the capital of Emperor Daqian was established, but it was not famous before.
It wasn't until a thousand years ago that the world changed and Jin Shenqiang disappeared one after another, and this building began to appear in people's eyes.
The Oiran of the Star-Zhaing Tower is a symbol of strength. As long as you marry one of them, the worst one can become a grandmaster, and ten of them can become grand masters.
Every generation of Star-Zhainglou oiran is born, which attracts the attention of countless Jianghu people. Every Jianghu person wants to marry a Star-Zhaixinglou oiran, but how can it be so easy to get one?
Everyone who marries an oiran has their own shining points, not relying on any background power. The magic technique of wedding dress is treasured by countless big powers, but most people can only practice it to the third-rate level. As for the level, a small number of people can reach the second-rate level, and only the people in the Star Reaching Tower have reached the first-rate level.
"The Star-Zhaing Tower is so tall!" Wu Yating and her daughter have seen many tall buildings, and many city walls are taller than these buildings, but they are city walls, not buildings!
The Star Building was brightly lit, and bursts of noise could be heard from time to time, making it look very lively.
"Well, it's indeed quite high!" As one of the famous buildings in the imperial capital, the first floor of the Zhaixing Building is about three meters high, and the eighth floor is 24 meters. Plus the top small floor, it is about 26 meters high. !
Zhao Qingluan said: "Not only is this Star Building high, but the food inside is also first-rate. What they are best at is the delicacies from Shiwanda Mountain. Most of the food is transported from Shiwanda Mountain and is very delicious! "
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up as she listened. For her, food is an indispensable thing. This is also related to her cultivation method. The more she eats, the better she eats, and the higher her cultivation level will be!
However, she had to listen to Li Xiang's words when she came out tonight. Qian Duoduo didn't say that she wanted to eat. Anyway, the building was right here and she would have time to come over to eat later. She was not in a hurry.
upstairs
The servant next to the fourth young master of the Li family leaned over and said: "Sir, the prime minister is taking the eighth princess and others to the bottom of the Star-Zhaing Tower!"
The fourth son of the Li family stood up and walked to the window. Looking down, he could see a group of people protected by a large group of plainclothes.
The window above had just opened. Li Xiang raised his head and glanced at the fourth son of the Li family. Even in the dark night, with the help of candlelight, Li Xiang could recognize that it was his fourth brother, the fourth brother who made him the scapegoat. .
Li Xiang smiled and nodded. Seeing Li Xiang's smile, Mr. Li Si upstairs was frightened.
He had seen various information about Li Xiang at home and knew exactly what kind of person Li Xiang was. There were butchers both outside and inside the pass, fighting against each other and massacring local wealthy families.
It's as if I just hate the wealthy family. Anyone who doesn't conform to his wishes will be killed by him.
When he saw Li Xiangxiao, he felt like he might die!
He dared to send a message to Li Xiang: "Eighth brother, I have offended you many times in the past, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you. Today, I will be your host and invite you to get together on the fourth floor!"
Li Xiang smiled: "Fourth brother, didn't you see that I brought my family with me? Just apologize. Not everything can be solved by saying sorry.
I didn't suffer much hardship outside the customs. I just survived the cold winter outside the customs wearing a linen garment. I hadn't started practicing cultivation at that time.
I hope, fourth brother, you can also feel it when the time comes!"
After Li Xiang finished speaking, his smiling face disappeared. The good mood of the night was ruined by this man.
The three women around could sense the change in Li Xiang's mood. Zhao Qingluan looked up and saw Mr. Li by the window above, and he had the answer in his heart.
That person was one of the culprits who sent Li Xiang away from the customs.
"Husband, let's go shopping in front!" Zhao Qingluan did not interfere. This is Li Xiang's matter, and Li Xiang must solve it himself: "The front is the most famous and happy place in Daqian. The famous flower buildings in the entire imperial capital are all here. On the street!"
"On the street between the flower buildings on both sides, you can see all kinds of rare treasures being put up for sale, but most of them are fake, and only a few are genuine. You want to find the genuine one among the fakes. , we have to see if your eyes are working well."
Zhao Qingluan said with a proud look on his face: "I used to buy a treasure with only one tael of silver. If I value it, I can sell it for at least ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Ten thousand taels of silver!" Qian Duoduo couldn't believe it: "Really? This is ten thousand times more!"
"Of course it's true!" Zhao Qingluan vowed: "Wait a minute, you just follow me, I will take you to search for treasures, maybe there are some missing treasures that have not been discovered by those people today!"
"Let's go, let's go!" Qian Duoduo said hurriedly. Li Xiang gave her one thousand taels of silver every month, and she gave all the money to her father. His father did some small business outside, and he could give her about two taels of silver a month. About a thousand taels.
Her father wanted to expand, but because there was no money, expansion was slow. She took out all her own treasury, but it was still not enough.
She didn't want to ask Li Xiang for money. She spent more than 100,000 taels of silver on food and drink every month. How could she have the nerve to ask Li Xiang for money, and she didn't want to borrow it from Sister Yating.
In the northwest, we can only wait for the money to be distributed at the beginning of every month. If we can earn some money here, we can go back and ask my father to expand the chamber of commerce, and there will be endless money in the future!
She is also a person with dreams, earns a lot of money, and then buys all kinds of genius treasures to eat!
Qian Duoduo hurriedly pulled Zhao Qingluan forward, while Li Xiang held Wu Yating's hand and walked behind. Zhao Qingluan glanced back and saw Wu Yating holding Li Xiang's hand, and his face turned dark.
She is nominally Li Xiang's wife, but unfortunately Li Xiang and Wu Yating spend much more time together than she does.
She suppressed the jealousy in her heart. It was still a long time. She had plenty of time and opportunities, so she couldn't mess up her position.
When Snow Palace's power reaches the northwest, it will be her time to show off her talents!
Give Li Xiang another son and a half daughters, suppress Wu Yating, hum, let Li Xiang also hold her hand.
Qian Duoduo didn't notice this. She took Zhao Qingluan's hand and walked forward, with Li Xiang and Wu Yating following behind.
Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong, each with ten Xiliang personal guards, secretly followed more than fifty Jimo Sect disciples, forming a huge protective circle.
When Li Xiang reached this level, he no longer had to worry about being assassinated. As long as someone attacked him, he would be able to sense it, so he looked back at the top of the Star Building.
Upstairs in the Star Reaching Tower, Hu Qingqing looked at the retreating figure of Li Xiang and his entourage. The tall figure and the ordinary figure slowly overlapped.
"Miss, is this Mr. Li? It's so scary!" The maid next to Hu Qingqing gasped for air. Just now, she thought she was dead. That feeling was so frightening, uncomfortable, and scary!
Hu Qingqing nodded, the jade light on her chest was shining continuously, which meant that the jade pendant was helping her block the terrifying gaze.
"What did you just see?" Because of the jade pendant, she didn't feel anything, and Li Xiang didn't see her either.
The maid patted her chest: "Dead people, so many dead people, no, those were the people he killed, and now they have turned into evil spirits and gathered on him. I don't know how he suppressed those evil spirits, and also turned those evil spirits into...
What he uses!"
Hu Qingqing's double crossbows shone brightly: "This is the warrior. The mighty power of the heavens belongs to himself. Those creatures killed by him are all his defeated generals. How can a group of defeated generals turn the world upside down?
This is a sharp weapon for warriors to deal with immortals and those heretics who like to play with ghosts. As long as those evil spirits are present, attacks from immortals will be swallowed up by the evil spirits. Those ghosts will not dare to approach a soldier who has been fighting for many years, let alone such an unknown person.
The general who killed so many lives!
It seems that Li Xiang has really grown up!"
Listening to the lady's sigh, the maid also came to her senses and couldn't help joking: "Miss, do you want to choose Prime Minister Li? You are not in the palace now, and no one can control you. As for the eighth princess,
, just relying on the power of the Snow Palace behind us, our West Factory will not be short of them!"
If the Snow Palace represents the rights of the maids in the palace, then the two factories represent the rights of the eunuchs in the palace, and are in charge of various positions in the palace.
There are only a few highest positions among palace maids, and most of them rely on their own masters, which cannot compare with the power in the hands of eunuchs!
Hu Qingqing smiled and shook her head: "We'll talk about it later, but Li Xiang successfully aroused my interest."
"It's almost time to go downstairs, let's go down!"
On the other side, Li Xiang and his entourage had arrived at the commercial street. Zhao Qingluan accompanied Qian Duoduo to buy some small items. This time, Li Xiang came out and brought Qian Duoduo a thousand taels of silver.
Most of the things on the street cost dozens of pennies, and the most expensive ones are just a few taels of silver.
This thousand taels of silver is very much, enough for her!
Zhao Qingluan is also helping Qian Duoduo seriously. She believes that one of the reasons why Wu Yating has such extraordinary status is the relationship between Qian Duoduo and Wu Yating. Qian Duoduo follows Wu Yating most of the time.
Those who didn’t know better thought Qian Duoduo was Wu Yating’s maid.
As she grew older, Qian Duoduo's appearance also began to open up. Compared with Zhao Qingluan, the two of them were comparable in appearance. In comparison, Wu Yating was the most ordinary person among the three.
But Li Xiang liked Wu Yating, which puzzled Zhao Qingluan. Don't all men like beautiful women?
Some of the vendors on the street couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the two women, they were so beautiful!
Even in the imperial capital, a place full of beauties, this was the first time they saw such a beautiful woman.
However, when they saw the tall Xiliang man following them with a long knife on his waist and more than two meters tall, they just said that these two people were people they could watch from a distance but not get close to.
At the same time, I shouted in my heart, come to my side!
Beauty, just see it!
Some people upstairs drinking flower wine and looking at the beautiful night scene were stunned when they saw the two women below. However, there are not many fools in the imperial capital, especially at this time.
The two women are very beautiful, and they are surrounded by a group of guards. It is difficult for ordinary people to get close. Those guards only need to feel the majestic power of them and their breathtaking and terrifying aura.
These are people from the army. There are many people from the army in the imperial capital. But these are not the forbidden army. They can only come from outside. They must be the family members of generals from somewhere coming to the imperial capital.
Currently, Daqian is in chaos, and the local military is ruthless. No one is willing to offend such people.
Everyone can just watch from a distance.
If you don't act rashly and offend others, you will cause trouble for your own family!
It took more than an hour to walk from the street to the middle of the street. There were a lot of items hung on the bodies of the Xiliang guards, all of which Wu Yating, Zhao Qingluan, and Qian Duoduo felt were valuable.
"Everyone is tired from shopping, let's go to the restaurant to have something to eat!"
Li Xiang wiped the sweat from his head. Originally, it was only Qian Duoduo and Zhao Qingluan who bought it, but somehow Wu Yating also joined in.
Then Li Xiang followed behind. He would rather fight with the leader of the Demon Sect than go shopping like this!
Just as the three of them stopped, a restaurant appeared in front of them. Li Xiang went upstairs without saying a word because he wanted to rest.
The guards were not much better. They had a large number of items in their hands and they had to protect the three mistresses at the same time.
Li Xiangben wanted to throw these things into the Qiankun bag, but the three of them were unwilling. They planned to go to their own store to re-identify these things before putting them away.
It’s better to hold it now!
I just entered the store. It was very lively and there were people everywhere. The waiter trotted over and said to Mr. Li at the front: "Master, do you want to go to the second floor or the first floor? There are not many people on the second floor." , and the Ice Yuan Stone to cool down!”
"Go to the second floor. Don't you have private rooms?" Li Xiang asked.
"Sir, you're a little late. Most of the private rooms are already occupied, and some of the remaining ones have been reserved. However, there are not many people in the lobby!" the waiter said with a smile.
Li Xiang nodded: "Then go to the second floor, prepare five tables of meals, and serve all the best things you have here!"
"Okay!" The waiter's eyes lit up: "Master, come up with me!"
Li Xiang followed him up to the second floor. The heat on the second floor was gone immediately. There were yuan stone lamps and cooling ice yuan stones on the second floor, which made people feel refreshed and cool.
People came up from behind, and the waiter saw the long queue behind him and the women who he didn't dare to take a second look at.
As a waiter in a shop, he knew his position very well. He didn't dare to look at such a woman too much. The aura of the man in front of him could only be possessed by a general, and he didn't know whether it was from the north or the south.
Cheng Jushu and his party protected Li Xiang and the three women in the middle, and also adjusted the position of the table. The waiter had no objection to this.
They can earn ten taels of silver for one table of top-notch food, and fifty taels of silver for five tables, which is as much as their restaurant’s normal day’s income!
