Chapter Fifty-Six: Listening to the Tide Pavilion
Yunchuan City at night, it is still brightly lit, the traffic is busy, people come and go, Pei Zonghao and the guard Lao He came to the south city at this time, listening to the tide of the attic.
A seven-storey building rises from the ground in front of you, the whole building is made of red tile ancient wood, the main building is connected with two auxiliary buildings on the left and right sides, from high to low, they are five floors and three floors, the ancient wood of the whole conjoined building is carved with exquisite patterns, birds, beasts, plants and trees, mountains and rivers, there are more dragons into the sea, colorful phoenixes return to nests, unicorns and other patterns.
There are several red lanterns hanging on each floor of each building, and under the reflection of the lights, the whole conjoined building is reflected in the red light, which is extraordinary, making this unique ancient building of Yunchuan City always appear unique and brilliant. In the Dayu Empire, Longcheng Proud Building, Yunchuan Tingchao Pavilion, known as the empire's two major gold caves.
"The two of you are objectively invited, I don't know if you are going to the appointment, or?" The hao slave wearing silk at the door stepped forward and asked Pei Zonghao and the others in a respectful and non-embarrassing tone.
"Go to the appointment. After Hao Nu introduced Pei Zonghao and the two into the door, Pei Zonghao replied.
"Then I don't know whose appointment Childe is going to? Childe can directly report the name of the master's family, and the little one will lead the way for Childe. Haonu said to Pei Zonghao politely.
"No, I'll find it myself. Pei Zonghao didn't know what floor Qin Qiong was on at all.
Hao Nu's eyes quickly glanced at Pei Zonghao, still maintaining a humble tone, and said: "Childe, I heard that the main building of Chao Pavilion has a total of seven floors, dozens of private rooms on each floor, and several banquet halls. In addition to the main building, there are four auxiliary buildings, and each building is a number of banquet halls, and there are countless private rooms. ”
Haonu glanced at Pei Zonghao again, and continued: "I don't think Gongzi is a frequent visitor, if you want to find it yourself, it is estimated that you may not be able to find it in two hours." ”
"Do you hear that Chao Pavilion is also divided into front yards and backyards?" Hearing what the little guy said, Pei Zonghao couldn't help but think of the proud building in the capital.
"Childe said and laughed, we heard that there are only five buildings in the Chao Pavilion, there is no front yard and backyard, but the Xiangfeng Pavilion on the first floor on the left is indeed a place of wind and moon, and the next time Childe comes, where can I go to accompany the girls to drink and chant poetry. ”
Hearing Haonu's reply, Pei Zonghao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that these leather and meat business businesses are "elegant and prosperous" in the entire Dayu.
"Okay, I remember, the house I went to the appointment was set for the seventh floor private room, and I would just go up by myself. Pei Zonghao thought in his mind, according to Qin Qiong's character, he would definitely sit in the best private room.
"Childe, the private room on the seventh floor is the most expensive of our Tingchao Pavilion, and the guests on the seventh floor can be booked, one by one is not rich or expensive, in our Yunchuan and even Dayu are people with heads and faces, if the main house you go to the appointment is in the private room on the seventh floor, then please also say the name of the master, otherwise the small one can not let the son enter. Hao Nu couldn't help but look at Pei Zonghao several times, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a master who could consume on the seventh floor.
Listen to the seventh floor of the tide pavilion, a total of seven private rooms, it is better to say that it is a private room than to say that it is a banquet hall, but the private rooms are decorated with the best materials, tables, chairs and benches, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pen, ink and paper, inkstone, bed and couch board, everything. Even the girl who waits closely, each private room is equipped with twenty people, which is already the place with the highest gold index in Tingchaolou, and ordinary people really can't afford it.
"Why? I don't know the name of the master's family, so I can't go up? No, I'll open a private room by myself, go up and recite poems against it, can't I appreciate myself alone?" Seeing the undetectable disdain in the eyes of the slaves, Pei Zonghao really had a trace of unconvincing fire in his heart.
"Hehe, Childe, we have to spend on the seventh floor of the Chao Pavilion, but it has to be calculated according to time, one hundred taels of gold per hour, if it exceeds one hour, even if it only stays one more breath, it will be charged according to finding two hours. ”
"I don't look at the child's dress, and he doesn't look like a child of a wealthy family that has been inherited for more than a hundred years. On the seventh floor, the son still doesn't try, it's really a justifiable gold cave. ”
I have to say that this Tingchaolou is a place where the entire Dayu can dominate the wind and moon with the proud building, and even the hao slave who leads the way is so cultivated, Pei Zonghao is so unreasonable, the hao slave is still humble and does not turn his face.
"Then I'll go up and see the head office. Listening to what Hao Nu said, Pei Zonghao was also a little weak for a while, one hundred taels of gold an hour, which is equivalent to the expenses of a large family in the capital for a year.
"Well, no. Haonu directly refused.
"Then how can I go up?" asked Pei Zonghao.
"Either report the name of the master's family, or you yourself take out two hundred taels of gold to spend at this time. The slave did not back down in the slightest.
Pei Zonghao hesitated again and again, if he broke through at this time, he would definitely startle the snake. If Qin Qiong's name is reported, if Qin Qiong uses his real name to hold a banquet in Tingchao Pavilion, then the hao slave in front of him will be able to take him up, but after going up and meeting Qin Qiong, he will definitely have a big fight, at this time, the army must not have arrived at the designated place on time, and it will be too early to start, in case Qin Qiong and the others run away, it will not be worth the loss.
This time made Pei Zonghao in a dilemma.
On the eighth floor of the Tingchao Pavilion, the most luxurious and extravagant private room in the entire Tingchao Pavilion. Here, you can see the mountains at a glance in the west, see the demon beasts infested, and the big demons are rampant. Nanke can overlook the vast ocean, look at the sea breeze and waves, and watch the sea monsters play in the water.
"Hmph, I see that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is so confident, so why bother to pull me and wait for a few families? You just follow the agreement, after ascending the throne, you can pay tribute to my Sea Clan, Demon Clan, and Snow Clan every year. As for the battle between you Daqin and Dayu, we can ignore it. At this time, a young man with fish gills on his face in the private room on the eighth floor said to Qin Qiong.
This young man is dressed in a gold-rimmed brocade robe, with a bull's-eye-sized night pearl on the crown of his head, this person is the second prince of the Sea Clan, Qiu Guang.
Qin Qiong had long expected in her heart that the Sea Clan would make peace with the mud, and since ancient times, the Sea Clan has always played a role in profiting from it. Although he has taken a lot of benefits from the Terrans every time, he has never made much effort every time.
Hearing Qiu Guang's words, Qin Qiong just smiled slightly, and said: "The second prince's words are wrong, although I am ten percent sure that Great Qin will restore the country, but I still need the support of your three clans, and when the time comes, I will have to rely on the Demon Clan and the Sea Clan to support Pei Chengfang in this Yunchuan, so that my Great Qin can win the battle." ”
"Rest assured, as long as you send troops as agreed, after the matter is completed, the benefits promised to you before will not be less. Qin Qiong glanced at the Holy Maiden of the Snow Clan and the representative of the Demon Clan and said.
"The ransom girl said bluntly, Prince Qin should tell your plan and hole cards first, let's listen to it, so that everyone knows each other's hearts. Feng Xueyao, the saintess of the Snow Clan sitting in front of her, spoke slowly at this time, and her voice was like a silver bell in the wind.
The two surnames of the Snow Clan, one is the surname of the royal family, the surname Han, the blood is noble, and he is in charge of the military and political power of the Snow Clan. The second is the surname of the saint's family, Fengxue, the Fengxue family is in charge of the Snow Clan monks, which is the origin of the Snow Clan's immortal cultivation.
The Snow Clan is the race that most resembles the Terrans, except for a pair of pointed ears, snow-white hair, and faint blue pupils in the eye sockets, the rest of the place is exactly the same as the Terrans. Compared with the human race, the Snow Clan has snow-white skin and delicate appearance, and the people who come out of the Snow Clan are handsome men and beautiful women. At this time, the saint of the Snow Clan who was sitting was a role model, her skin was ice and jade, her eyes were like crescent moons, and her whole body was like a boneless under the snow-white gauze robe, and she was weak and pitiful. However, don't be deceived by appearances, but all monks can see that this woman's cultivation has reached the foundation building period.
"Hehe, what's the matter? Holy Maiden is not worried about my Great Qin's heritage, or is she not worried about my Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong smiled, and said to Feng Xueyao in a friendly tone.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's words hit the nail on the head, you are right, the little woman is not very at ease with your Daqin heritage firstly, and secondly, you are not very at ease with the prince himself. Feng Xueyao said the words in her heart unreservedly.
"Huh?"
Hearing Feng Xue Yao's words, the representative of the demon clan, who had been covering his face with a black cloak, let out a question. Qiu Guang, the second prince of the Sea Clan, also looked at Qin Qiong at this time.
"What did the Holy Maiden say about this?" asked Qin Qiong with an unchanged face to Feng Xueyao.
"Although the little girl is a member of the Snow Clan, she has studied the culture of your Terran Race, and there are many things that the Sages of your Terran Race have said, and the little woman thinks it is very reasonable. ”
"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. ”
"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ever heard this sentence?" Feng Xueyao asked Qin Qiong softly.
"Yes. Qin Qiong nodded slightly and replied.
"Then I don't know how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands this?" Feng Xueyao continued to ask.
"What the Holy Maiden means by her words is that she thinks that I, Daqin, have lost the hearts of the people, and I don't deserve to have this world?" Although Qin Qiong was a little annoyed at this time, she was always talking and laughing, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.
"Yes, so the little woman thinks, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should show your hole cards first, everyone listen, and at the same time analyze and analyze, plus the strength of our three clans, whether your Great Qin can successfully restore the country. ”
"What the saint said is a little too much, now the demon clan, the sea clan, and the snow clan are gathered here, with the strength of the three clans, destroying Dayu is simply like a backhand. Qin Qiong paused slightly, glanced at Feng Xueyao meaningfully, and then continued: "The holy woman's words, will his Dayu's strength be raised too high. ”
Feng Xueyao gently glanced at Qiu Guanghe and the representative of the demon clan under the cloak, and said: "Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that now the Sea Clan is fighting against the alien races in the sea, and has been repeatedly frustrated in the battle, the second prince came this time just to get the blood poison of the Qin corpse in your hand, and use this poison to deal with the enemy army." ”
"And after the demon clan experienced the heavy damage of Yunchuan City last time, and then started a war with the Heaven Swallowing Territory led by the Heaven Swallowing Demon King, there is not much spare power to send more demon beasts to fight at this time. ”
Hearing Feng Xue Yao's words, not only Qiu Guang, but even under the black cloak, the face of the demon clan representative changed slightly.
