When Zhou Rui left the military port, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Before leaving, Zhou Rui had already determined the names of the three warships with several captains of the coastal defense fleet.

The all-steel battleship, named Zhenhae, was to serve as the flagship of the coastal defense fleet.

The two armored cruisers were named Pinghai and Anhai, respectively.

Song Limin, the former captain of the Shuguang, will serve as the captain of the Zhenhai, and Song Limin was also appointed by Zhou Rui as the deputy commander of the coastal defense fleet, and Zhou Rui is also the commander of the coastal defense fleet.

Wang Hongchun, the former captain of the Dongfeng, will serve as the captain of the Pinghai.

Wang Xuewen, the former captain of the Nanfeng, will serve as the captain of the Anhai.

Most of the officers and men of the original seven old ships of the coastal defense fleet will be transferred to the Zhenhai, Pinghai, and Anhai, and the coastal defense fleet will recruit a group of new recruits as soon as possible to make up for the current shortfall in the coastal defense fleet.

At the time of Zhou Rui's departure, 1,000 boxes of German Mauser 98K rifles had been stacked in a material warehouse connected by the four connecting pipes of the guard battalion, and ten rifles and ten matching bayonets were placed in each box.

In addition, 40,000 boxes of 7.92×57 mm rifle cartridges were stacked in this warehouse.

"Young Master, are you going home now?" Li Donghu asked.

For example, the personal bodyguards who are inseparable from Zhou Rui's side are Li Donghu and Li Dongbao left.

However, Li Donghu and Li Dongbao selected sixteen veterans with good marksmanship and skills from the first and fourth companies of the guard battalion, and followed Zhou Rui every day.

In the process of replenishing the 1st and 4th companies of the guard battalion, the officers and men were all veterans drawn from other units of the garrison brigade.

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment, "Let's go to Wanhualou and have a look!" ”

Wanhualou is located in the south of the city, which can be regarded as the largest fireworks place in Ganyang City, but Wanhualou is very different from ordinary green buildings.

Wanhualou is a four-storey building, with a ballroom on the ground floor and an area of more than 3,000 square meters, a restaurant and casino on the second floor, and guest rooms on the third and fourth floors.

In Wanhualou, there are a large number of young and beautiful dancers and singers, dancers can dance with guests in the dance hall, and singers will sing for the dancing guests and dancers with the cooperation of the band.

Of course, as long as the guests can afford to pay, they can take the dancing girl or the singer to the guest room to rest.

Zhou Rui sat in the car, and when he saw the sixteen soldiers of the guard battalion outside the car, running with the car, he said to Li Dongbao, who was driving: "Leopard, drive slowly!"

Remember to remind me tomorrow, go to Liujia Auto Dealership and buy a few more cars! ”

After getting out of the car, Zhou Rui only took Li Donghu and Li Dongbao to the gate of Wanhualou.

"Young Master Zhou, you haven't been here for a few days." A steward who greeted guests at the gate of Wanhualou saw Zhou Rui hurriedly greet him with a smile.

Zhou Rui directly threw three silver coins to the steward, and then asked, "Is Miss Menglu on stage?" ”

"Young Master Xie Zhou! Back to Young Master Zhou, Miss Menglu hasn't taken the stage yet, but it should be Miss Menglu soon. ”

"Oh, that's good."

"Young Master Zhou, please, the little one will arrange a private seat for you."

Zhou Rui walked into the crowded dance hall, and the scene in front of him made Zhou Rui feel like a world away.

If you count the previous life, it has been more than ten years since Zhou Rui last came to Wanhualou.

"Young Master Zhou, please come here."

"Oh? Good. ”

The steward of Wanhualou led Zhou Rui to a private seat near the singing stage, which can be regarded as one of the best positions in the dance hall, and the semi-arc couch can seat at least a dozen people.

After Zhou Rui sat down, he asked the steward, "What's your name?" ”

The manager was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile: "Young Master Zhou is really a noble person who forgets things, the little surname is Kong!" ”

"Steward Kong, bring us a few bottles of ice wine from the Golden Lion Empire, and ask for the Golden Noble Brand, the older the better."

"Young Master Zhou, are you sure? We have 10 years of Gold Noble Ice Wine at Wanhualou for 1500 silver coins per bottle. ”

"Then come four bottles, don't worry, I'm here with money today."

As he spoke, Zhou Rui took out a stack of golden tickets from his pocket and threw them on the table in front of him.

These golden tickets were exchanged by Zhou Rui during the day today, when he sent Li Donghu to take people to Liujia Qianzhuang.

Liujia Qianzhuang covers 28 cities under the jurisdiction of Fengwu Town, and is the most powerful money village in Fengwu Town, and the gold and silver tickets issued by Liujia Qianzhuang are almost equal to gold and silver coins on the territory of Fengwu Town.

For the convenience of use, Zhou Rui exchanged all the remaining 10,000 silver bricks from the lottery system for 1,000 gold coins in Liujia Qianzhuang, a total of 500.

With his experience, the steward of Wanhualou could see at a glance that this stack of golden tickets was definitely a genuine Liujia Qianzhuang golden ticket, so he immediately shouted loudly: "No. 3 elegant seat, four bottles of 10-year-old Golden Noble brand ice wine!" ”

For a while, many people in the dance hall, including the guests and dancing girls who were dancing on the dance floor, were all focused on Zhou Rui.

After all, the Golden Noble brand ice wine produced by the Golden Lion Empire, known as the nobility of the wine, is quite expensive in every bottle, and the 10-year-old Golden Noble brand ice wine is the most expensive of all the wines in Wanhualou.

I asked for four bottles of 10-year-old Gold Noble brand ice wine at once, what a tyrant!

"Young Master Zhou, do you need to find a few beautiful dancing girls to accompany you?"

"No need, I just came over today to listen to Miss Monroe sing."

"Young Master Zhou, don't worry, when Miss Menglu finishes singing, I will immediately invite Miss Menglu to come over and accompany Young Master Zhou for a few drinks."

"By the way, is Boss Wan here?"

"The boss went out to run errands, does Young Master Zhou have something to do with our boss?"

"If Boss Wan comes back before I leave, I'll invite her over, I have something to discuss with her."

On the stage, four young and beautiful singers sang two more songs together, and a graceful figure finally stepped onto the stage.

Seeing Liu Menglu again, Zhou Rui couldn't help but be a little excited.

This woman she once missed, she will never let go again in this life.

Just when Zhou Rui was indulging in Liu Menglu's singing, a middle-aged woman with still charm walked over, "Young Master Zhou, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

If it's a matter of redeeming Menglu, then there's no need to talk about it, Menglu is the pillar of Wanhualou, no matter how much money Young Master Zhou pays, it's impossible for me to let Menglu leave. ”

Zhou Rui smiled, "Boss Wan, there is nothing that can't be talked about with money, how about 200,000 silver coins?" ”

The boss of Wanhualou, whose name is Wan Ruyi, the reason why she was able to open Wanhualou in Ganyang City is because she has Shen Zhi, the commander of the third division of the Fengwu Army, behind her.

Hearing Zhou Rui offer 200,000 silver coins, Wan Ruyi couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Zhou, your hand is too big, 200,000 silver coins are enough to buy a beauty of the fox clan." ”

The orcs who came to this world through the nodes of different time and space, although they are all intelligent races, most of them retain some symbols of beasts.

For example, the six beast tribes that have established six beast countries in this world, namely the lion people, the bear people, the tiger people, the wolf people, the leopard people, and the cow people.

Their torsos and limbs are very similar to those of humans, but their heads still retain their attribution form, that is, they still have heads like wild beasts.

However, there are also some orcs, whose attribution form is not the entire head, such as the fox people, cat people and rabbit people in the orcs, except for the ears of the ancients, there is no difference from normal humans.

And the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people have a very low status in the six beast countries because of their appearance, and they are only a little stronger than the humans living in these six beast countries.

Therefore, many girls of the fox clan, cat clan, and rabbit clan will be sold to human countries for various reasons and become the private collections of the powerful, among which the fox girl is the most sought-after.

In the eyes of the lion, bear, tiger, wolf, leopard, and cow tribes, the women of the fox, cat, and rabbit tribes are all ugly, just like human women.

However, the girls of the fox, cat, and rabbit tribes, in the eyes of human beings, are all charming beauties.

"Young Master Zhou, it's really not a matter of money, I'm to Menglu, it's like my daughter, I ......"

"300,000 silver coins! Boss Wan, how's it going? ”

"Young Master Zhou, really! It's true! It's not about the money, I ......"

"400,000 silver coins! I can pay now with the golden ticket of the Liu family money bank. ”

"Well, I'll tell you the truth! I had an agreement with Monlu that if someone wanted to redeem her, they had to get her consent.

After Menglu finished singing these two songs, I went to ask her what her opinion was.

Young Master Zhou, I now know that in the entire Ganyang City, there is no more tyrant than you! ”
