The bustling Jinling City was shrouded in a black cloud, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and the groom whipped the horse a few times with a whip, signaling the horse to run faster, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the inn before the rain, and he would not be able to bear the young master.

"Boom"

A loud thunderclap followed by lightning.

"Phew..."

"Childe, it's here."

The groom hurriedly got out of the car and grabbed the reins of the horse, so that the horse would not lose control because of the thunder.

Xue Mei Erzhu also quickly dismounted, came to the carriage, and opened the curtain for the palace chief.

Gong Changqing slowly got out of the carriage, and there was a gold-lettered signboard hanging at the door of the inn in front of him, which read: The second floor of the world.

Gong Changqing looked at the name and felt a little funny, but he couldn't help it.

"Childe, please, everything has been arranged for his subordinates."

I saw a man in his fifties at the door, who was smiling and talking to the palace chief.

"Subordinate!"

Gong Changqing looked at this old man with some puzzlement, Gong Changqing was far away in the palace pavilion, and he had never known this old man, but he looked a little familiar.

"The subordinate is the steward of this inn, the pavilion master has already instructed his subordinates, if the prince has any other orders, please speak, the subordinates will do their best."

The old man claimed that he was only in charge of affairs, not that he was the boss, and that he regarded himself as a subordinate. Gong Changqing has already understood that the behind-the-scenes boss of the second floor of the world is Gong Xu Pavilion, and he is the young master of Gong Xu Pavilion, so this restaurant is naturally his own.

There was a boom, interrupting Gong Changqing's train of thought. The raindrops fell like stones on the roof tiles, as if they were going to destroy the second floor of the world and the imperial city in this way.

The old man in charge of the inn is called Xu San, a veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, Xu San is a senior member of the palace pavilion, but he is a peripheral person who belongs to the palace pavilion, so in the rivers and lakes, Xu San's name is just a businessman. In the years that the second floor of the world has been under Xu San's care, everything is just orderly, and Xu San has handed over a penny of the monthly profits every year to the palace pavilion.

And the second floor of the world is also the most magnificent restaurant in Jinling City, since there is the second floor of the world, no one in the capital dares to live on the first floor.

The second floor of the world is not only luxurious and atmospheric, but also the dignitaries and nobles of the imperial city like to come here for recreation, and even the envoys of various countries are also admiring the second floor of the world.

Xu San led Gong Changqing and the others into the second floor of the world, and there were really two worlds inside and outside this building. Although the entrance is decorated in a decent manner, the interior of this building is resplendent in gold, comparable to the inner courtyard of the palace.

The second floor of the world is divided into the outer building and the inner building, and there are 999 rooms in one room, which occupies a very wide area and is called the Little Palace.

The outer building was only used for the entertainment of some wealthy nobles and wealthy merchants, and all kinds of singing, dancing and acrobatics were the most famous in the country.

The inner building is dedicated to the royal nobles and foreign envoys, the inner building not only has pavilions and small gardens, but also a small private room, this small private room is not an ordinary small private room, his privacy is very strong, to put it bluntly, it is to provide a secret place for some unseen transactions.

Of course, Gong Changqing lives in the most gorgeous and beautiful private room in the inner building. As soon as Gong Changqing walked into the private room, before he could drink the tea in his hand, he heard a voice outside the door.

"Qi Yu Gongzi, the pavilion master flying pigeon to pass the book."

The one who came in was the groom who drove the carriage for the palace chief, the groom was called Yan Liao, Yan Liao paid great attention to respect and orderliness, and stood at the door respectfully, without the palace chief's instructions, he did not dare to move in.

Gong Changqing sat at the table and tasted tea, and when he heard that the old man had come so quickly, he choked on his face with a sip of tea. This old man is what Gong Changqing can only say to Xue Mei Erzhu secretly, since Gong Fu restored Gong Changqing's identity, Gong Fu is like a different person, and he lets Gong Changqing learn this and that all day long, as if he wants to make up for all the things that Gong Changqing didn't learn seriously in the first twenty years. What are the Four Books and Five Classics, Sun Tzu's Art of War, all forcing him to memorize them well. Although Gong Fu has now become the courtier of Gong Changqing, these twenty years of upbringing have made Gong Changqing unable to bear to disobey Gong Fu, so he can only secretly give him the title of an old man.

Xue Mei Erzhu saw Gong Changqing's face flushed, glanced at each other, and walked over to beat Gong Changqing's back, but was immediately stopped by Gong Changqing.

Gong Changqing understands better than anyone else that it is okay for this snow charm to protect himself, if he wants to beat himself on the back, that is to find guilt for himself, if the two sisters punch themselves in the back, if they don't grasp the severity well, they will be seriously injured if they don't die.

Gong Changqing covered his mouth with one hand and coughed dryly, pointed to the outside with the other, and motioned for Xue Mei Erzhu to bring the letter in.

Xue Mei Erzhu took the letter and respectfully presented it to the palace chief.

"Sure enough, there is a play, this time I have to play"

After Gong Changqing read the letter, he showed a cynical smile, and then handed the letter to the two snow charms, who didn't look at them, and seemed to put the letter in the palm of his hand very casually, and the letter suddenly turned into a cloud of soot and floated in the air. Gong Changqing was not surprised by this, he had already seen the martial arts of the two Xue Mei plants, and the seemingly slender hands of the sisters could easily turn a piece of silver into a puddle of silver powder. Xue Mei Erzhu didn't know the content of the letter, and they didn't want to know, because their only task was to protect the young lord palace Changqing.

Gong Changqing was thinking about the task given to him by Gong Fu.

"Childe, my subordinates have something to see."

Xu San didn't know the rules that he needed to report to see Gong Changqing, and saw that Gong Changqing's door was not closed, and Gong Changqing and others were also in the room; So Xu San didn't wait for Gong Changqing's consent, and actually broke into Gong Changqing's room directly. Before Xu San could step into the door with one foot, he was stopped alive by the two Xue Mei plants, and Xu San was so frightened that he had to stay outside the door to give a salute.

"When you come to Jinling, you don't need so many rules, let him come in and talk." Gong Changqing motioned for the two Xue Mei plants to be released.

Xu San said with a smile: "Qi Yu Gongzi, tonight is the annual Oiran Festival on the second floor of our world, do you see if you are interested in moving with your subordinates to watch and watch, there will be many palace dignitaries and nobles present, and your subordinates can introduce you one by one, for your future..."

Gong Changqing nodded and asked Xu San to prepare.

Oiran Festival is the largest annual festival on the second floor of the world, and over the years it has not only become a festival on the second floor of the world, but also a festival for the rich and wealthy officials of Jinling City, of course, these people are here to see the beautiful women.

The inner building is a quiet and elegant place, and no one can enter. Therefore, the Oiran Festival is arranged in the outer building, and the palace Changqing saw the red hanging color when he passed by the outer building just now, and thought that the second floor of the world was arranged like this every day, which was really like the New Year.

Gong Changqing followed Xu San to the outer building and sat in a private seat on the second floor, at this time, the second and first floors of the outer building were full of people, noisy like a busy city, it was really crowded, and some people who couldn't sit still kept shouting why they didn't start. However, it was still raining outside the building, and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof tiles and the sound of the building being mixed was really audible.

Xu San cut a pot of wine for Gong Changqing, and then smiled and motioned for Gong Changqing to taste. Xue Mei Erzhu suddenly picked up the wine glass, took out a silver needle wrapped in a brocade pat from his arms, carefully tested the cup with the silver needle, and after making sure that there was no poison, he offered it to the palace chief with both hands.

Gong Changqing also felt redundant about this, what danger was there in his own territory, but he had to give face to the two sisters of Xuemei, both of them had to check everything in detail, for fear that Gong Changqing would make a mistake because of his own negligence.

Gong Changqing looked at the people downstairs, with very different faces, guessing the purpose of their coming here, in order to see the beauty of the Oiran, or to listen to the song, in the eyes of Gong Changqing, there is no difference between the wind and the snow and the drunken gold fan. They are all a group of lustful and good people, but he forgot that the existence of Gong Xuge is the source of all this.

Gong Changqing looked around, a group of brightly dressed people, and there were one or two entourages standing behind them, it was not difficult to know that these people had a background.

Gong Changqing's eyes fell to the elegant seat on the second floor, and suddenly found that a private seat on the second floor was actually empty, this seat was different from the other seats, the other seats were full of people, and there were one or two attendants standing next to the seats. And a seat in the east was actually empty, and the strange thing was that there were more than a dozen strong men standing next to the seats, and from the body shape and their eyes, Gong Changqing could see that all of these people were not ordinary entourage. These people have squeezed the private room, which was not very spacious, even more cramped.

The palace chief was full of curiosity about this late guest, guessing that this must be an important minister of the court or a wealthy businessman.

At this time, Xu San, who was very perceptive, saw Gong Changqing's thoughts, so he eagerly stood beside Gong Changqing and introduced the distinguished guests in the private room on the second floor to Gong Changqing one by one.

The first on the left is Liu Jinzhou, the second is Liu Xuan, the son of Prime Minister Liu Fu, the third is Wang Situ Wang Bingran, and the fourth is...

Gong Changqing was not in the mood to remember so much, but asked curiously: "This elegant seat seems to be all high-ranking officials and princes, I don't know how much silver is required for a position." ”

Xu San said with a smile: "These people are rich and powerful lords, not expensive, one thousand taels of silver for one position." Tea gratuities are not included. ”

Although Gong Changqing was not short of money, he was still a little surprised when he heard that a position cost 1,000 taels.

Gong Changqing hurriedly pointed to a private seat in the middle and asked, "Is this seat because the master didn't come, or is no one sitting?" ”

Xu San whispered in the ear of Palace Changqing: "This is the seat of Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, he should wait for the appearance to reappear." ”

When Gong Changqing heard that it was King Pengcheng, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he couldn't find a reason to get close to him, and he didn't expect to send it to the door.

Xu San replied to Gong Changqing, raised his head and saw Xue Mei Erzhu looking at him with murderous intent, and he gasped unconsciously. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to Gong Changqing, otherwise these two cold and murderous beauties would have to take their own lives. Xu San unconsciously dodged the eyes of the two beauties, and stood cautiously beside Gong Changqing, not daring to make the slightest strange move.
