Chapter 438: Undercurrent

At this time, the string music on the first floor suddenly sounded and continued, like a breeze on the river pushing the waves on the water, and the eyes of all places turned to the song platform.

Eighteen singers in blue long skirts fluttered from the sky, like a fairy, just the nearby guest screamed and hugged around the song platform, and the guests in the distance were unwilling to be obstructed, and left their seats one after another, scrambling one by one, just to see more of the immortals.

In the blink of an eye, the entire first floor was almost full.

The outermost spectators were forced to squeeze into the private seating area.

A stream of gas emanating from different people quietly condensed in the sky, like a huge ball, constantly expanding, and the air could not be filled, and it could only run to the outermost edge and the bottom in a deformed state......

Looking at the crowds of people around him, coupled with the mountains and tsunamis one after another, the interest of white bait drinking was instantly gone.

With a "pop", a bulging little brother, like a piece of meat squeezed in a hamburger, was forced to fall out, his round ass hit the table, and with a "pull" sound, he knocked a chopstick on the plate crooked......

Under someone's desperate eyes, there was a "dang" sound, along the edge of the table, and fell to the ground.

The little brother was still rubbing his buttocks, which was faintly painful, and when he heard something falling, he turned around suddenly, wanting to look back, good guy, he happened to step on the chopsticks......

Bai Bait just stretched out his five fingers to pick up the chopsticks, stopped there, and grabbed a ball......

"Right...... I'm sorry. "The little brother hunched his back and folded his hands, so sorry.

Too lazy to look at him, the coat and hat on her head flipped over, and she simply left.

What a failure!

Bypassing the crowd, stepping on the stairs, connecting the two floors, because the room on the third floor was already full, in the end Bai Bait had to temporarily rub a room.

Going around and around, I found a more cheerful room, and most importantly, there were a few empty places by the window inside.

Coincidentally, the clothes of the people inside matched her own clothes, she just stood at the door and peeked in, and the people at the door respectfully bowed to her, and she simply followed the people in front of her to go in.

It's not so much rubbing, but rather, entering by mistake?

Well, it doesn't matter, she's just going to find a random place and stay quiet for a while.

Luck is not bad, there are tea and snacks on the table, everything she wants, she pushed open the window at hand, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and knocked up boredly.

There were about sixty or seventy people in the room.

It seems that there is a meeting here, similar to the kind of martial arts gang?

The man in black who was in charge of guarding the door glanced around, saw that the seats were full, and immediately locked the door, and at the same time instructed several people to hold their hands outside.

After the door was locked, the atmosphere in the room was strange, indescribably strange.

Bai Bait thought what would happen next, but it didn't, everyone just gathered around the table as if they were talking about something, and their expressions were a little serious.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is a Hu businessman, from Jingyang. The man's tone was gentle, and he spoke in a familiar Qin Huai accent, as if he was introducing.

"In Xiahubei, fortunately, fortunately!" Merchant Hu stood up from his seat and hugged his fists at the few people in front of him.

"Fortunately, I will be happy to ......" several people also responded.

At this time, a man stood up, and Mao recommended himself: "In Xia Cao, Qin Huai is a businessman. ”

As soon as the name came out, Hu Shang immediately got up and greeted: "I heard that Cao Shang is the richest man in Qinhuai, and I am fortunate to see it today, Hu is honored!" ”

"It's also Cao's honor!" Cao returned the salute, and the two agreed to sit together, and asked, "I don't know what the situation is on Brother Hu's side?" ”

As he spoke, Shang Hu's brows furrowed tightly. "Since the abolition of slavery on a large scale in Lisan two years ago, my Hu Shang line has been in ruins! At first, as soon as the slavery system was withdrawn, it was opposed by many places, Lichang Wenji, Beiyang Fuji, Sun Ji, Lu Ji, Zuoku Wanji, Chen Ji, East Eight Prefectures, Hu Yang Seven Prefectures, successively unveiled, Hu thought that these places were in trouble, the Son of Heaven would take back his fate, and the release of slavery would not affect Jingyang for a while and a half, but it didn't take long for the struggles launched in various places to fail one after another, and the release of slavery soon affected Jingyang, and the serfs under Hu Shang launched a rebellion one by one, strikes, strikes, and even, Fan Mountain, deforestation! As long as Hu does not destroy their deed of sale for a day, they will not give up for a day! In a blink of an eye, it was the season for new tea to enter the market, and the eighteen goods orders agreed in the old year were seriously undersupplied, and Hu Shang had to break the contract! Overnight, Hu Shang declined! In the past harvest season, Hu Shangli could pile up mountains, but now it is a mountain of debts! Hu really didn't expect that Hu Shang, who had been in business for nearly a hundred years, would lose in the hands of Hu once! ”

A heavy fist slammed into the table, with a loud bang.

Cao Wei calmed his head and his eyes were full of sadness, he patted Merchant Hu's back, "Brother Hu is already like this in Jingyang, Cao Mou is making a living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how good can the situation be?" As soon as the slavery system was launched, hundreds of slaves who had been under Cao's hands for decades left one after another, and Cao had no choice but to recruit them back with monthly salaries. In the past, as long as they were given a bite to eat, they would obediently obey their orders, but now they are not allowed to be whipped, no blood can be seen on the construction site, and most of the commercial profits need to be spent every month to support them! Half a year ago, the two brothers who were in a joint venture with Cao were not light or heavy, and mistakenly beat three workers to death, and the relatives immediately went to the government to report the case, and Cao was forced to be involved in prison for half a year because he helped the two brothers escape, and in this half year, Cao Shang was almost abolished! Three months ago, Cao was released from prison, and my brother was in that prison, I don't know how long he will be imprisoned! ”

"It's really annoying!" Merchant Hu was immediately filled with righteous indignation, and fought for Cao Di, "Since that person has cut off our way of life, how can we give him a way to live!" ”

At the same time, another table, the table top was almost filled with knives.

"I wonder where you two came from?" A man looked at the two knights wearing hats and asked.

"Northern Green." "Shame!"

The man's eyes rolled, and he stood up in shock, extremely respectful: "The two of you must be from the Qiuyue Sect and the Hongming Sect!" Zhang Sanrui of the Ancient Tomb Temple was rude...... ...... faux pas"

The two knights nodded in respect.

"I have heard that the Qiuyue Sect and the Hongming Sect have been defending the majesty of the imperial court in the rivers and lakes since they were founded! Protect the world! Now that I am embarking on this road, I have a lot of helplessness! Zhang Sanrui said with emotion.

"Emperor Jing's twenty years of adopted son became a trouble, the whole person Li Sang is real on the outside and void on the inside, Qin Huai once fell, fortunately, the Triumphant Army did not disgrace its mission, and the month-long reign of the Mocang Wind Country fell apart! At the beginning, the four sides of the world were undecided, and the triumphant army fought in all directions to calm the world, and the people shouted to raise troops in the northern desert and unify the desert! To shock me Li Sang's majesty! But the new emperor ordered to stop sending troops! In addition, the country of Mocang and Li Sang was opened widely, and the relationship between the two countries was determined to be allies! Not only that, two years ago, General Wei was passed on to his son-in-law who had a rough life, and it stands to reason that the new emperor should have changed his surname to Congwei before he ascended the throne, but the change of surname and name has dragged on for more than half a year! The final result was that the new emperor retained the surname Mocang from Mocang! Every time I negotiate with a foreign country, it is not the monarch of Lisan who is mentioned, but the monarch of Mocang! Overnight, the name of the country of Li Sang existed in name only! ”

A chivalrous man angrily put down the teacup in his hand and said: "My Qiuyue faction has been hidden in Lisang for decades, and my heart is to Mingjun and help the world to be righteous!" And now it is not Mingjun who is in charge, my Qiuyue faction will be the opposite! ”

"Your Excellency is talking only about appearances," said another knight, "and the change of surname is far from the tip of the iceberg!" In the past two years, the country of Mocangfeng, as the country of my Lisang's great crimes, has not felt repentant at all because of the mistakes of the year, especially after the two countries opened the gates, the Mocangfeng people have not changed, burning, killing, looting, and acting recklessly on the land of my Lisang! The folk people committed murders and fled, and some people even said presumptuously - it is my deserted monarch who is sitting on the throne today! You Li Sang's officials dare to touch my wind and people? In the country of Mocang and the northern desert, there is also such a nursery rhyme - there are two emperors in Mocang, one emperor is in charge of Lisang, one emperor governs Mocang, the two emperors sit side by side, and Mocang is ten thousand years old! ”

The tone is provocative and outrageous!

Zhang Sanrui filmed the case, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change!" Although today's son has the blood of my Li Sang, he has been born and raised in Li Sang for 18 years, and he has also been favored by Emperor Mocang for 18 years. Presumably, it won't be long before he will be the second Mocang Emperor! ”

After that, he looked at the two people in front of him, and clenched his fists to ask: "My ancient tomb temple and all the sects have the same mind, in order to maintain the orthodoxy of Li Sang, the road to overthrow the new emperor will be unswerving!" ”

Bai Bait's eyes jumped suddenly, and she suddenly understood something.

What she strayed into was not an ordinary rally, but an undercurrent of terror!

At this time, the man guarding the gate suddenly entered, with a solemn expression on his face, and after several other colleagues looked at each other, they immediately stabilized the order, and the whole room suddenly became quiet.

"According to our people in the Water Pavilion Getai, the new emperor has appeared in the west eleventh room at this time, and it is named after the Guqin Society!"

"Everything was expected! Let's go as planned! ”

……

Suddenly, there was an undercurrent in the room!

Seeing a crowd of people in front of him, Bai Bait hurriedly got up, his eyes full of shock-

What did the leader say?

Desert is in the Water Pavilion at this time?!

West 11th room, guqin club!

She looked out of the window inadvertentlyβ€”

The original boat has gradually disappeared, and several large ships have appeared at some point and are approaching this song tower! What's even stranger is that such a large ship is unusually quiet and lifeless!

She suddenly realized that, obviously, this undercurrent was more powerful than just in front of her!

In this water pavilion, there must be other forces distributed!

No, the entire Water Pavilion is surrounded!

Without thinking much about it, Bai Bait immediately manipulated the clumsiness on the table, and gradually faded out in this ordinary room with the current......
