The three of them walked non-stop in the silent city at night, heading in the southwest direction.
Ji Yuan didn’t mention going to a place like the City God’s Temple, so Zhang Rui knew that he would definitely go and see the situation in person.
This kind of thing is not planned through the ghosts and gods of other people’s underworld. Firstly, it is easy to have jurisdictional disputes. Secondly, it is also troublesome. It is better to be simple and crude.
Among the three of them, Ji Yuan was curious and holding his own speculation, Wang Li was frowning, and Zhang Rui was the most relaxed. Mr. Ji gave her an order, which was equivalent to helping her temporarily consolidate her willpower and not have to do what she did before. Worried.
One of the peculiar things about Chengsufu City is that more than half of the south city wall is not actually built as a city wall, but directly borders Sushui. As a big river, Sushui is tens of feet wide at this place. Chengsufu’s This construction method makes the southwest section of the city a natural large dock.
This large wharf is not only the water transportation hub of Chengsufu City, but also one of the most prosperous places in Chengsufu. It is also a good place for romance. Of course, it is far smaller than the scale outside Chunhui Mansion. Comparison
The Big Show Boat mentioned by Zhang Rui is also here. It is a famous kiln boat in Chengsu Prefecture. The red show inside is even more famous in Youzhou. Even some rich young men and masters in Gyeonggi Prefecture are famous. Come.
Compared with the silence in other places in the city, there are still pedestrians beside Sushui Pier in the city at this moment. It goes without saying what purpose they have when walking outside at this time and coming to this place. Some of them sneak from home. Ran out.
The big show boat is a way of saying. In fact, in addition to the big building boat, there is a larger brothel next to it, called the big show building. The real big show boat is parked in a concave river behind the building. On the shore, the buildings on both sides belong to the Daxiu Building, which is equivalent to forming a small harbor to surround the Daxiu Ship. You can only go to the Daxiu Ship after entering the brothel and walking from the back of the building.
Before Ji Yuan and the others got close, the sound of warblers and swallows mixed with laughter, teasing and screaming had already reached Ji Yuan’s ears. After a while, the complex smell of rouge and gouache appeared. It also enters the nose.
Nothing to be embarrassed about, Ji Yuan led Wang Li directly to the brothel. Although Zhang Rui also followed, he had obviously cast a spell so that no one else could see her except Ji Yuan and Wang Li.
“Mr. Zhang, are you here so late today?”
“Official Zhao, let’s go!” “Come on, come on, this man is coming in…”
Some women outside the brothel were pulling customers. Some of the people passing by during this time went in directly. It was so late and there was no need to avoid anything. Even if some pretended to be passing by, they were pulled away when they were greeted. He half-pushed and entered the building.
“Ouch~~~ Mr. Wang, you are here again~~ Please come in quickly! Oh, who is this official? What a charming demeanor!”
The three of them got closer, and Wang Li was immediately recognized by the girl outside. Someone immediately came over and took his hand and led him inside.
“Uh, ha…Mr. Ji, I…I don’t come here often…”
Beauty girls are also very discerning. They have a rough standard in mind for who can be pulled too affectionately and who should not be touched casually.
For example, Wang Li was pulled in so affectionately and even rubbed his body against him, but Ji Yuan and the others did not dare, even though many girls were looking at Ji Yuan, and some even felt excited.
But Ji Yuan just stood there, no one dared to pull him casually.
“Humph, you don’t come here often? Who would believe it? Look at Mr. Ji, this man doesn’t tell the truth!”
Wang Li’s face turned red and he didn’t dare to look at Ji Yuan’s expression. This was the fairy from dream stories. He didn’t know what he would think of him.
Ji Yuan had never been in this kind of situation in his previous life. In his previous life, Ji Yuan would have blushed at this moment. But at this moment, there was no special emotion on his face and his mood was relatively calm. Of course, There was still a trace of nervousness in my heart, but I was neither excited nor looked down upon.
If there were people in the previous life who were just trying to make quick money, then in this life the girls in brothels were basically either sold to brothels since childhood or were reduced to a lowly status in a major disaster. This social environment puts pressure on this industry. Those who can crush people to death, except for a few lucky ones, will almost never turn over in their lifetime.
“Master Wang, why don’t you come in? This official, would you like to come in and have a rest? It’s windy and cold outside!”
These girls all noticed that Wang Li looked embarrassed and was looking at Ji Yuan’s face.
Ji Yuan nodded immediately.
“Mr. Wang, let’s go in.”
The women on the side were overjoyed, and immediately many people rushed to grab Ji Yuan’s hands.
“Buzz…”
The ivy sword behind Ji Yuan rang out for an instant, and a suppressed sword intent filled the half-foot distance around Ji Yuan.
Whether it was Wang Li or some of the brothel girls nearby, they all felt a ringing in their ears and felt extremely flustered. Many people even subconsciously took a few steps away.
“They are just poor people who can’t help themselves.”
Ji Yuan murmured in a low voice, and the terrifying feeling that made his heart palpitate suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Rui stepped back more than ten feet in shock, looking at Ji Yuan’s position from a distance and not daring to get close. She felt it far more clearly than ordinary people.
At that moment, I saw endless snow-bright silver light filling my perception like a hallucination. It was an indescribable sharpness, just like a mortal feeling in the cold and wet wind. A sharp, knife-like sensation.
At this moment, Zhang Rui suddenly thought that in the original version of “White Deer”, there was a fairy sword hanging around the “old god”.
‘That is to say…’
The goddess in white subconsciously looked at all directions around and above Ji Yuan. If she couldn’t see it, it didn’t mean she wasn’t there. It was normal for her to be low-minded and unable to see the immortal weapon.
While Zhang Rui was stunned, Ji Yuan and Wang Li had already entered the big show building. However, compared with the hugging and tugging of other guests when they entered, the two girls around them only dared to He led the people in from a distance, said a few words in embarrassment, and did not dare to touch their bodies at all.
Shaking his head, Zhang Rui gritted his teeth and followed in.
In the Daxiu Building, the busy madam was arranging several guests to go upstairs. When he turned around, he saw Ji Yuan and Wang Li coming in. His eyes only lingered on Wang Li for a moment, and then he looked directly at Ji Yuan. I felt that the person who came here might have an extraordinary status.
“Hey, Mr. Wang, you are here to take care of our business again. Unfortunately, Miss Hongxiu still has guests today… This is…”
The madam greeted her with a full smile, fanning her round fan, and glanced at the girls next to her for a few times. These girls were so weak-sighted that they couldn’t tell who should be treated warmly.
“This official, are you a good friend of Mr. Wang?”
The madam stood beside Ji Yuan with a smile and pretended to look at him casually. Although he did not have many expensive accessories and his clothes looked simple, he still felt that he had extraordinary bearing.
Especially the seemingly ordinary black jade hairpin, if you look closely, it is more transparent than glass under the light of the lamp, and it can attract people and make them unable to take their eyes away.
‘Extremely rare, extremely precious! Big fish! ’
After hearing what the Madam said, Wang Li subconsciously showed a sense of fear.
“Hey, mom, please don’t talk nonsense. How can Mr. Wang be qualified to be Mr. Wang’s friend… Mr. Wang is… uh, he is Wang’s elder, yes, he is the senior!”
Although this Wang Li is just a storyteller, he is a person who has really seen the big world. Some young men who seem to be of high status are actually not in Wang Li’s eyes. Occasionally, they will inadvertently reveal this after drinking too much. an attitude.
Seeing Wang Li’s cautious reaction at this moment, the Madam smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. She fanned twice to spread the scent of gouache towards Ji Yuan, and bowed to give a blessing.
“Hehehehe… Mr. Wang is joking. Sir, why don’t you go to the big show boat~ The girl in the show building is not worthy of you!”
The smell of excessive powder made Ji Yuan feel slightly uncomfortable. The ivy sword behind him did not have a sharp edge or reveal its sword intention, but in the scabbard spirit text, the “hidden” hidden in the edge of the sword has faded away. If anyone in the know saw it, they would probably sweat it.
Ji Yuan resisted the urge to use the wind to blow away all the odor of makeup and powder that was so strong that it choked his nose, and calmly asked the madam.
“I wonder if that Hongxiu girl has any free time?”
“Uh…this…sir, Miss Hongxiu is playing the piano for Liu Daguan, who is the uncle of the prefect of Chengsu Prefecture. This gentleman, after all, he has official status, but we still…”
“Chi…”
Listening to the madam’s endless explanation, Wang Li couldn’t hold it back for a moment and laughed out loud. The prefect’s uncle, how can he compare with Mr. Ji?
As soon as the laughter came out, Ji Yuan turned to look at him with an indifferent expression. His face turned pale with fright and he did not dare to react any more.
The madam’s eyes lit up and her heart trembled slightly. Good guy, even the prefect doesn’t take it seriously. Is it more incredible than I imagined!
“Uh hehe hehe… How about this, you two go to the big show boat to rest and watch tea first?”
The madam smiled and kept thinking about this solution. This guest must definitely stay.
“Okay.”
Ji Yuan smiled for the first time in this brothel, and took the lead to walk towards the back of the building. A vague evil spirit floated from the back of the brothel, and Ji Yuan’s sense of smell was not covered by the smell of powder at all.
As soon as Wang Li wanted to follow him, he found himself being grabbed by the madam, who leaned close to him and whispered in his ear.
“Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, what is the background of that gentleman? Please contact Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.com and I promise not to tell anyone. Please give me an accurate letter. If the background is big enough, Miss Hongxiu will…”
Wang Li’s eyes lit up, he looked at Ji Yuan, who was almost ten steps away, and leaned close to the madam’s ear.
“It’s so big that telling you about it will scare you to death. Not to mention the prefect’s brother-in-law, even the prefect himself is not enough! He… I can’t talk about it anymore…”
“Oh oh oh…I understand…!”
The old madam swallowed and nodded, looking surprised and understanding. She understood that the identity of this gentleman was not simple. When she looked back, she found that he had already walked away, so she hurriedly turned her buttocks to pursue Ji Yuan.
Beside Ji Yuan, Zhang Rui took a careful step closer and asked in a low voice.
“Mr. Ji, shall I help you drive that foxy child out?”
Ji Yuan shook his head.
“Your little Taoism is not enough. That fox demon is not simple. It is not just a fox that only knows how to confuse people. It may be a fox demon that has transformed into a shape, and it is even much more powerful than that! People here Still too much…”
