Chapter 156: In Liuyi Lane(2/3)
Wang Xian thought about it for a while, even if he went anywhere, he would not be in danger.
He walked south and walked not long after he saw a large yard. Outside the yard were all soldiers standing next to the people who took a detour and didn't dare to look here.
Wang Xian pondered for a moment and walked back to Xiangmanlou.
The madam was overjoyed when she saw Wang Xian coming back again, and hurried over to entertain her, but only heard Wang Xian say, "Help me find a set of servant's clothes."
The madam was surprised and saw the broken silver in Wang Xian's hand. She hurried over and instructed the servants to prepare a set of clothes and then gave it to Wang Xian.
Wang Xian looked at the clothes and said, "There is no rouge smell, is it new? Go and get an old one and it's best to wear it on someone else's body."
The old madam was surprised that the young master was too inexplicable, but the money in his hand was really true, so she quickly ordered the servant to take off a servant and report it.
Wang Xian took over the clothes and there was some pungent smell of rouge and wine. He was about to vomit when he smelled it. However, Wang Xian still resisted changing into the clothes and then gave the madam some broken silver and walked out directly.
At this time, he lowered his head and walked directly to the yard over there to the guards at the door immediately stopped him and shouted loudly: "Stop here and don't let anyone in!"
Wang Xian immediately said voluntarily: "All the soldiers are servants from Xiangmanlou, who are here to find our master."
The guards also smelled the pungent smell of rouge and wine and immediately said with some disgust: "It's true that you are in the brothel, why are you looking for your master?"
Wang Xian was stunned and didn't expect that the guard would even investigate. He couldn't speak immediately and had to stammer.
"What the hell is it!" the guards frowned and immediately shouted loudly.
"It's the master's mother who is sick, so I'll come to find the master." Wang Xian said quickly: "The old lady is very sick and lying on the bed to see the master for the last time, so she sent me over to call him master."
The guards were all surprised and then said, "Okay, you can wait here for me to report."
Wang Xian nodded and bowed to stand at this door.
"Now Lord Tong has firmly controlled the situation in Jiangnan, but there is only one Jinling City still there, and Your Majesty can't wait. I urgently ordered Lord Tong to break the city quickly and Lord Tong has also begun to step up preparations for this Jinling battle in less than a few days."
Wang Xian was standing down, but he didn't expect that he suddenly heard a voice. He was slightly stunned and then looked up and saw two people slowly walking out while behind them were a large number of personal troops.
He quickly lowered his head because the person on the left was the Yangzhou garrison Liu Zhongwu. If he saw him here, he would definitely be dead.
"General Liu is about to fight, and the storage of food, grass and military funds in Yangzhou can be said to be an extremely important place. You must not make any mistakes." The old man next to Liu Zhongwu said slowly: "Since ancient times, we have been raising soldiers. If we don't have these things, our army will only be defeated without fighting!"
Liu Zhongwu smiled and said, "Mr. Li just rest assured that Yangzhou is now full of soldiers guarding day and night, where will there be any mistakes."
"It's good, it's good." Lord Li muttered a few times and walked over.
Liu Zhongwu also walked over but suddenly saw Wang Xian standing there and said in confusion: "Who is this? Why is it here?"
The guards at the door were all bowing their heads, and then he heard this and hurriedly said, "Sir, he is the servant from Xiangmanlou, and he would be looking for their master?"
"Their master?" Liu Zhongwu was stunned and then said, "Is it that Zhou Da?"
"That's right." The guard nodded and said, "He said Zhou Da's mother was seriously ill, so his family urgently asked him to go back and the servant ran over to find their master."
Liu Zhongwu said "Yeah" to Wang Xian, "Zhou Da must come out later. You can wait for him here."
Wang Xian lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but heard the guards beside him shouting: "You servant, don't thank you soon!"
"Thank you, sir." Wang Xian said in a tight voice.
Liu Zhongwu nodded with a smile and suddenly seemed to appear. He turned his head suddenly and walked slowly towards Wang Xian and said to him: "Are you really that servant from Xiangmanlou?"
Wang Xian's heart was beating wildly, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
"The villain is the servant of Xiangmanlou." Wang Xian quickly answered.
"Why is your voice like this?" Liu Zhongwu frowned and said, "Raise your head."
Wang Xian took a breath and cursed himself in his heart that he was too reckless. He heard that Zhou Da and the others were here, so he wanted to come to find him, but he didn't expect to meet this Liu Zhongwu. He was so self-defeating and was very likely to die here.
His heart was beating wildly, his whole body tense up nervously, sweat flowed down his forehead and directly to his face.
Liu Zhongwu was immediately confused and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a loud noise. He was slightly stunned and saw a few people fighting each other and cursing each other. A group of people watching the fun began to surround him.
"General Liu, you are now guarding Yangzhou City and are considered as the parent official of Yangzhou." Lord Li pointed to the crowd fighting each other and frowned: "I thought the people in Yangzhou were gentle and you managed well, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in broad daylight, which really disappointed me."
Liu Zhongwu immediately felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't say anything and walked towards the other side, and the personal soldiers hurriedly followed.
Wang Xian breathed a long sigh of relief at this time. If it weren't for his gritting teeth, he would have been exhausted and lying on the ground. His back was wet and the autumn wind suddenly felt extremely cold.
"Who is this nonsense?" A voice slowly came out, and then a middle-aged man in his thirties came out. He saw the servant dressed as Wang Xian and immediately frowned: "Where are you from? Why are you talking nonsense here!"
Wang Xian raised his head and looked carefully at the middle-aged man's strong face, although his face was different from a few years ago, he could still recognize him at a glance that he was the boss of the Zhou brothers - Zhou Da.
"The master is a servant from Xiangmanlou." Wang Xian looked at Zhou Da and said, "The old lady is sick and you can go back and have a look."
Before Zhou Da recognized Wang Xian, he couldn't help but say in anger: "You bastard dare to talk nonsense again!"
"Young master, you're not talking nonsense." Wang Xian stared at Zhou Da and frowned.
Zhou Da was about to think about Huo suddenly felt a move in his heart and looked at Wang Xian carefully. Then he seemed to understand something and said to Wang Xian: "The old lady is really sick?"
Wang Xianshu sighed and said, "The old lady is indeed seriously ill in bed."
Zhou Da nodded and said to the soldiers at the door: "I'm sorry to tell you the generals and say that my mother is seriously ill and cannot accompany you to the generals for the rest of her life."
As he said that, he took out some broken silver and distributed it to several guards.
The guards quickly responded and then heard Zhou Da say, "Go back with me!"
Wang Xian said that, so he followed Zhou Da and headed north together.
Until he walked into Xiangmanlou, Zhou Da still said nothing but said that the madams were all very surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhou Da came to meet him and talked, but saw Zhou Da walking upstairs directly. Then he saw a servant walking upstairs and everyone was a little surprised when he talked.
It was not until Zhou Da locked the door of the room on the third floor and said, "Brother Wang, why are you here in Yangzhou?"
Wang Xian sat down and breathed a long sigh, "I was so scared that I almost lost my life."
Zhou Da also sat down and said incredibly: "I just saw that it was you and I felt extremely shocked, but I didn't expect you to come to Yangzhou!"
"Yes, it's so dangerous to get into Yangzhou." Wang Xian sighed and covered his chest. Liu Zhongwu almost scared him to death. It can be said that he almost entered the underworld. It's just that God blessed himself.
"Brother Wang, haven't you died in Jiangning Mansion?" Zhou Da shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that he would appear in Yangzhou."
Wang Xian was stunned and said, "Didn't I live well? Who said I'm dead?"
"The Grand Secretary and the Classic Lecturer of Jiangning Prefecture Wang Xian held Jinling for several days because the Jiangning City was broken, but the bandits were unyielding and died of fire." Zhou Da slowly repeated it and looked at Wang Xian and said, "This is the news from the court. Is this Wang Xian not Wang Brother, you?"
Wang Xian was slightly surprised and then burst into laughter.
At that time, I just didn't want Jinling to become a surrender city, so I used this strategy to make outsiders think that the prefect of Jiangning had committed suicide by committing suicide by throwing himself into trouble. However, I didn't expect that the court took this matter seriously and announced to the people of the world that Wang Xian became a model of loyalty and officials.
When Zhou Da saw Wang Xianxiao, he pondered: "Brother Wang can I resolve my confusion?"
Wang Xian smiled slightly and said, "This is a bit long, but since you want to listen to me, I will say the story about Jiangnan again."
"Well, that's the case." Zhou Da nodded at this time and said, "In the past, I felt very sorry when I heard you die in the sea of fire. After all, you have kindness to us brothers but we have not been able to repay you. I didn't expect that I could see you standing here alive now."
Although I have lived in Yangzhou for a long time and know all the places in Yangzhou, Hong Ya has never been to Liuyi Lane a few times.
This is a fireworks place and is the most popular place for those talented men who pursue the storm or art-like businessmen, but it is also a place that many good women despise.
She was originally staying in the teahouse as Wang Xian said, but after sitting for a while, she almost drank the bitter tea and still couldn't sit still when she didn't see Wang Xian coming back.
Not long after, Wang Xian still didn't come out, she stood up and walked out of the teahouse toward Liuyi Lane.
There were not many people here, but the smell of rouge was too strong, Hong Ya kept covering her nose and looking around.
"What are you looking at!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the upstairs and said, "You servant, you want to come to the brothel?"
Hong Ya was dressed up as a servant and did not attract attention to it in order to follow Wang Xian. However, she did not expect that when she heard this, she immediately frowned and looked up at the top.
There were several prostitutes standing there, all of whom were dressed in disheveled clothes and looked lewd, and Hong Ya immediately lowered her head and muttered slightly: "It's really an inhumane!"
"Hey, my brother, their Hongcai Pavilion will not let you come in, our Wenxiang Tower." Suddenly another voice came from Hongya, and then he looked up and saw a few women fiddling with their bodies in an attic on the other side. One of them said with a charming look: "The girls in our Wenxiang Tower are not ugly than the ugly monsters in their Hongcai Pavilion. Our girls are all as beautiful as immortals. If you come up, you will be sure to let you be ecstatic and die to enjoy the joy of clouds and rain. After you taste it, you will know how unforgettable it feels."
Hong Ya's face turned slightly red and she felt a little overwhelmed by hearing these almost obscene words. But before she could speak, she heard someone in the attic over there echoed: "Hmph, you Wen Xianglou is just this kind of virtue. It seems that there has been no business for a long time. Even such a servant wants you to think of a man crazy? It seems that these things in Wen Xianglou are really pitiful and can't even find a man."
Someone said there, "What are you saying about the dead Baby! Our Wenxiang Tower is ten times better than your Hongcai Pavilion. Look at how many guests you only enter a day, you have so many Baby. You don't have any guests every day. You can only stand up this floor and watch the man dare to say that we are Wenxiang Tower!"
"Hahaha, it's a joke, you slut, dare to say such big talk. Which of the girls in our Hongcai Pavilion is not as beautiful as you? Which one does not need you to be talented? You slut is in your thirties and dare to come out to pick up customers. When you see you, you will only vomit wrinkles on your face and can be made into foot cloths. You look like this and you have the face to say that others are the ugly girl who cooks in Cuihong Courtyard, A Guang is hundreds of times more beautiful than you. I really doubt whether there are any girls in Wenxiang Tower. Let you slut stand upstairs and shout, it's really shameful!"
This was very vicious and the person on the other side suddenly said angrily: "You actually compare me with A Guang!"
"What? Others say Ah Guang is the ugliest, but I think you are the ugliest." The prostitute from Hongcai Pavilion said: "I'm so old that I still paint so much pink to show off this street, I can smell your scent!"
The man from Wenxianglou cursed: "Your slutty dares to scold me like this, I was still in your mother's belly when I was doing this. Little bastard. You started seducing men at the age of ten. You are not white at the age of seventeen. Every day, you scratched messy things on your face like shit. You are also proud of yourself. If you always change your name to Hongcai Pavilion in the future, forget it!"
Hong Ya was originally a little blushing and listening to the two scoldings, but she laughed out loud as she felt that she was indecent, so she covered her mouth and kept laughing.
The two sides became more and more quarreled at this time and finally someone was angry. He threw an embroidered shoe from here and hit a woman on the face there. So both sides had a big quarrel. Not long after, they ran down.
Hong Ya was slightly stunned and saw these prostitutes running to the street and started to beat them up. You grabbed my head and I grabbed her face. So many prostitutes immediately fought each other, and their mouths were full of cursing and saying all the vicious words to make some of the clients around them run out to watch the fun.
"Stop!" Suddenly a voice appeared and said, "Stop!"
Everyone looked at the side and then saw a large number of soldiers coming over. The person who took the lead looked as if it was as blue as he was next to him, an old man shook his head and muttering something.
Those prostitutes were really beating and didn't notice what happened and still scolded him.
"It's really a bad habit!" The old man couldn't stand it at this time and shook his head and looked at the person next to him, "General Liu, don't you care?"
Hong Ya was also watching the fun in the crowd outside. At this moment, she suddenly saw the person coming by Liu Zhongwu. She quickly lowered her head and hid in the crowd.
Liu Zhongwu was so angry that he said to the people beside him: "Pull them apart!"
The soldiers walked over after hearing this, but they didn't expect that these prostitutes were fighting together and they could not do anything at all.
