In addition, there are some foreshadowings and twists in today's chapter, and some new characters have to be arranged to appear, so I wasted some time, so there is only so much. Please vote! Let me preview first, and a legendary character will appear tomorrow!)

A group of bells laughed like silver bells, and rushed into the living room like a group of butterflies. It turned out that the hall, which was filled with the aroma of wine and meat, various meat jokes and the smell of men's sweat, suddenly changed the atmosphere.

There were dozens of people gathered in the hall, and officers from the three tribes of the eight towns and the fifth ranks were basically arrived.

Zheng Cong-yi was the top leader as the recruitment envoy, and Yu Jun and Li Jing were on the left and right seats. The other generals were sorted by grades. Everyone was eating and drinking happily just now, and suddenly such a group of young and beautiful women flocked to him, and his momentum became even more enthusiastic.

As soon as these women came in, they walked directly to the generals and sat down with a familiar condom. Li Jing was sitting there, in amazement, a beautiful woman with a fresh and refined skin with a gentle smile, also came to Li Jing.

A fragrance penetrated into Li Jing's nose, which had just been damaged by the stinky smell of sweat and dirty smell, and suddenly felt much more comfortable. Li Jing couldn't help but close his eyes and took a deep breath. The aroma of ambergris was mixed with a scent of cold plum. Originally, the two fragrances were mixed, which was a big loss, but for some reason, the two flavors on this woman's body are now very well mixed and not in conflict.

Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded. Li Jing opened his eyes and saw that he had just closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance. He had unknowingly smelled the two towering lotus houses of the beauty, which attracted the laughter of a group of generals. Li Jing couldn't help but chuckled. When he looked up, he saw that the beauty looked slightly red, and her eyes seemed to be angry but not angry, which made him feel a different feeling. Compared to other women, this woman who was obviously a little awkward, had a more unique flavor.

"Brother Zhenguo is so young and vigorous, and he is so strong that he has just left home for half a year and has reached such a hungry state." Tuoba Sigong was obviously bigger than Li Jing, but he called Li Jing the brother. Because he had changed his previous job to Zheng Cong-chi, Tuoba Sigong always felt that he was not authentic to Li Jing, so he took the initiative to avoid him when he was in Hedong. This time he came to Chang'an together, and along the way, he was quite shocked by the Zhen** under Li Jing's subordinates. Especially as he heard that even the emperor liked Li Jing very much, he began to take the initiative to lean on him, lower his identity and call Li Jing the brother. His intention was just to resolve the somewhat rigid relationship between the two.

Li Jing's attitude made him a little confused. Li Jing neither obviously refused this, nor did he get closer to the relationship between the two, which made him feel a little uneasy.

At first, Li Jing was a little embarrassed. After all, the people here are all officials above the fifth rank, either from the commander of a town or the general of a army. Besides, Li Jing was not too good at the foot of the capital here. But when he looked up, he found that not only Helianduo, Tuoba Sigong and other Hu vassal commanders were hugging each other, laughing repeatedly, and looking at the lewd pig brother.

Even Cui Anqian, Zheng Cong-seok and Yu Yan, who are the role models of Chinese civil servants, are the same. Even Cui Anqian actually hugged four, Zheng Cong-seok and Yu Yan, and even Yu Yan, hugged three.

Seeing their intoxicated appearance, Li Jing was very surprised.

As if he saw Li Jing's strange expression, the beauty beside him whispered: "Why is the Grand Marshal surprised?"

"Shouldn't I be surprised?" Li Jing asked back.

The woman smiled sweetly.

"The Tang people prefer literature and flirt with each other." Visiting prostitutes is a kind of trend! From emperors, generals and ministers to scholars, they are not rejecting prostitutes but envious. Didn't you hear that Bai Juyi came out of the Secretariat to guard Hangzhou for five years and said: "The two places have traveled all over the country, and the five years of wind and moon are about to be lost."

"This should be just an exception!" Li Jing said. He had indeed seen this aspect of the Tang Dynasty openly before, but he did not expect it to be open to this level.

Murong Xue looked at Li Jing strangely. Li Jing in front of her did not look like a hero in the battlefield. Instead, she looked like a young man from a foreign country who had just entered the capital. She was relieved of her nervous mood at this time, and even let go of her tasks for the time being. She chuckled and said, "This is not an exception. Yuan Zhen, who is as famous as Bai Juyi, once served as the prime minister. There is a book that says "Zhen has been offering entertainment and entertainment, and has no borderline style, and has heard of the corruption in the times." Yuan, Bai had a deep friendship, and sometimes he exchanged prostitutes and played with each other. For example, when Bai Juyi was the governor of Hangzhou, he asked Yuan Zhen to invite Hangzhou singer Shang Ling to Yuezhou, and it took more than a month to return it. The officials of this dynasty are so prosperous that the court has no ban."

Li Jing became interested in this matter for a moment. In order to resolve the little embarrassment just now, he took the initiative to chat with this obviously special woman. Murong Xue explained to Li Jing, and he realized that there was no regulation prohibiting officials from staying in prostitution in the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, some officials even institutionalized prostitution visits. For example, after the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty released the results, there was an activity called "Tanhua", that is, two handsome young people were selected among the Jinshi in the same subject, so that they could ride horses and travel around the songs.

In famous gardens near the river or in Chang'an, you can pick famous flowers. These two people are the two streets of the flower troupe, also known as Tanhualang. This is what is called "the spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so anxious that you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day". There are usually prostitutes at the Tanhua banquet to entertain you. A Jinshi from this dynasty made the "Tanhualang" on the list. The prostitutes who are close to him "sent to the silk hand with Liaoling" and wrote a seven-character poem "Transfer to Liaoling's small characters, and the Tanhua banquet is released in the spring bush. The dark eyebrows are slightly green, and the sandalwood mouths are gone."

The prosperity of prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty even affected many areas of social life. An interesting phenomenon appeared in many murals and statues of the Tang Dynasty: the solemn and dignified Bodhisattva fairies, each with beautiful appearance, plump body, red lips and teeth, eyebrows and eyes, and even appeared in a semi-naked posture. According to the "Jingluo Temple Pagoda Record", the Shi Brahma girl in the murals of Baoying Temple in the Tang Dynasty was a portrait of a prostitute from a noble family. Some dance and music Bodhisattvas in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are actually the images of Kabuki.

In view of this prosperous atmosphere, the literati who lived in the Tang Dynasty consciously or unconsciously aroused the subconscious of seeking popularity, making the literati constantly recognized by the society, and even regarded as a romantic event, blindly imitated by some people who follow the trend.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the officials and gentry became more and more luxurious, so visiting prostitutes became more and more popular.

There are not only private prostitutes, but also official prostitutes, and even military prostitutes. There are several types of prostitutes, such as those who specialize in selling meat, which is relatively low-key, but only peddlers who are patronized by peddlers, and some are prostitutes who sell art. They all have skills, such as singing, dancing, musical instruments, and even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Such prostitutes are very advanced, and are usually invited to come when gathering between officials and scholars.

These prostitutes are equivalent to the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and they rely on their public relations category, but on various skills.

The family of Xu Fu's noble family all kept private prostitutes and family prostitutes. Even in the emperor's court, there were a large number of court-singing and dancing prostitutes.

All the people who came today are high-level geishas, ​​not prostitutes literally understood by Li Jing. According to Murong, there are 100,000 prostitutes in Chang'an City, of which more than 30,000 people gathered in the palace. Then the most famous one in Chang'an is Pingkangfang, which has about 50,000 prostitutes of various kinds. In addition, there are also some low-level prostitutes in other fields. Together, Chang'an, a metropolis with more than one million people, has 100,000 prostitutes.

Li Jing was speechless when he heard this. Looking at the beautiful man in front of him, Li Jing asked with a smile: "The girl is also a geisha?"

Murong Xue nodded.

"Then what skills are you good at?"

"You can do everything, such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, fencing, riding, shooting, polo, and chess!" Murong Xue said directly. She did not lie, she did know these things, and was very proficient. As a female assassin of the Lijing Sect, these are all necessary. In addition to this, she can even refine poisons, dispenses medicine, heal wounds, make traps, create weapons, etc.

Li Jing looked at the beauty in front of him who was obviously a few years younger than her in surprise. He directly grabbed her hands, and her hands were as white as green onions and had long fingers. However, as soon as he held these hands, Li Jing believed him and her words, because her hands did have calluses that only martial arts practitioners had.

"Awesome!" Li Jing couldn't help but praise. Murong Xue was a little subconsciously unnatural when she was held by Li Jing. If an assassin was held by others, it would be like life and death being controlled by others. However, she could not show it, so she had to suppress her annoyance and let Li Jing hold it. However, Li Jing's hands were so hot, and the place where she was held felt hot. The more she thought of it, the more itchy her hands became.

However, in Li Jing's eyes, her appearance was a sign of shyness and youth, and she couldn't help laughing.

"What, is this the first time I've come out?"

"Yes." Murong Xue replied. In addition to training and killing, this was indeed the first time she participated in a banquet, and it was this kind of banquet. The first time she was so close to a man, and his hands were caught in his hands, feeling the heat of his hands all the time.

"Can you still be a virgin?" Li Jing was a little surprised. Later generations said that virgins could only be found in kindergartens. But now seeing a girl who might be a virgin, Li Jing couldn't help but be surprised. This was not because he was a virgin or something, but he was surprised by the green lotus that was not stained with mud, although perhaps this was just a way of operating in this industry.

Murong Xue felt that she could no longer calm down. She found that her heartbeat had actually started to accelerate and her face began to heat up. A wave of confusion and panic climbed up to her heart for the first time. She could break into the bandit's village alone and take the thief's head. Why do she feel this way now?

Seeing her nodding softly, Li Jing felt very interesting.

With the addition of the group of senior socialites brought by Chen Duo, the banquet was unknowingly late in the joy.

Zheng Cong-sei and others all got up, and the banquet was over.

Li Jing also got up and prepared to reward the beauty who made him relax for the night, but when he took out his body, he found that he didn't bring any money. Just when he was embarrassed, Chen Duo appeared and greeted him: "Looking at the fact that the Grand Marshal kept laughing, it seems that he is still very satisfied with Miss Murong?"

Li Jing nodded, and Chen Duo immediately beat the snake and went on the stick, "Since that's the case, it's also a blessing for Miss Murong. It's better to just take the post and send Miss Murong to the Grand Marshal to make a bed and warm the quilt."

Li Jing was a little surprised and wanted to refuse, but he looked down and saw Murong Xue's black eyes with a hint of expectation. After pondering for a while, he couldn't help but nod. It was because of the previous conversation that Li Jing knew that giving gifts to a female prostitute was too common in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, to be honest, this woman really made Li Jing feel a little stunning. What's even more rare is that the two of them could say so much when they sat together.

"Master, it's getting late. Since Miss Murong has been accepted, why don't I rest in this manor for a night tonight? Just let Miss Murong serve the Master." Chen Duo suggested with a smile.

Looking at Murong Xue, Li Jing thought about it and said that it was also true. It was not convenient to bring a woman back in the military camp. Besides, he had drunk a lot of wine tonight, and at this time, he was too lazy to go back. Anyway, he brought a lot of guards tonight.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Chen."
