Chapter 546: Passing through Yingxi Town
Gu Qinghong is the only son of the Gu family, and if he is allowed to go to the army for training, he will not be sent to the battlefield. What's more, now the big week. Country. Rich and strong, Southern Chu and Great Zhou are allies, and the two sides have always had friendly exchanges.
As for Beiliang, although they have the ambition to invade the Great Zhou, they are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and if they want to invade the Great Zhou, their strength is not allowed.
Therefore, the crown prince didn't think about letting Gu Qinghong go to the battlefield, but let him train in the East Camp near Kyoto.
Here, Yun Zheng returned to the cabin with the rusty token, saw the token in his hand and looked through it, frowned slightly, and muttered: "The rust looks like this, it's really troublesome to clean up." ”
Immediately, he put the token in a vessel, went to prepare some potion, and after submerging the token in the potion, he sat down and drank tea leisurely.
In the evening, the boat docked at a place called Yingxi. In a small town in Yingxi, the people are also well-informed, and they didn't feel new when they saw the prince and his party get off the boat.
After all, the merchant ships coming from north to south will always make a stop, so the best business in this place is teahouses and brothels.
The teahouse here is not like other teahouses where you can drink tea and listen to books, but you can hear the most famous Jiao'er singing and the singing of two oiran girls.
Whether it is listening to dramas or songs, the people here are very keen on their idols, and they can even fight each other for the idols they admire.
"Master, master, I have worked hard all the way, my subordinates have prepared a good guest room, please move with my master." As soon as he stepped on the shore, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman walked forward with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Gu Yunxin frowned slightly, she didn't like such a businessman who forcibly solicited customers, they were not familiar with this Yingxi Town, what if it was a black shop?
Even if the people around him are all strong in martial arts and will not put everyone in danger, if their whereabouts are exposed, if they want to make an unannounced visit, they have to be mentioned on the bright side.
Originally, the purpose of the unannounced visit was to be able to quietly visit more information, and if it was a big fanfare, then they would not have to hide their identities.
"Okay, lead the way." The prince said lightly.
Hongxuan saw Gu Yunxin's doubts, and then said softly: "Master, don't worry, this Boss Yan of Shuiyunlou is all the master's person." ”
They are all the master's people, and when they say this, it is as if the prince still has a habit of breaking sleeves. Isn't it good to say that this boss is a close confidant of the master? I have to say that it is the master's person. Since King Rui became the crown prince, Gu Yunxin didn't know what was going on, for himself, Zhao Yi could only be his own, not someone else's.
"Come, let Dad hug and let Mom rest." The prince hugged Xun'er from Gu Yunxin's arms.
Xun'er is even happier now, maybe standing tall, looking far, the little hand has been pointing ahead, oh oh ah, I don't know if I saw something new.
When I came to Shuiyun Building, I saw a big platform on the east side of the hall on the first floor, and the guests were already sitting below, and everyone's hands were either holding flowers, or holding name cards, and shouting loudly.
"Madame, don't panic, this Lan is the pillar of our Shuiyun Building, and there are many people who come to listen to her singing every day." Yan Chao said lightly.
"Lan is so? Is it so famous? Then if they are so noisy, will it affect my wife's rest? Xiangzhi pouted.
What Lan is green and red, but it's just a singer, do you need to be so sought after? If the master of her family is willing to speak, how can there be anything to do with these people. Sure enough, they are people from small places, and they have never seen much of the world. Xiangzhi secretly slandered in her heart.
At this moment, Nalan was also there, and in the midst of everyone's thousands of calls, he stepped out.
The woman was dressed in white, with a few white jade hairpins on her head, and a few pearl flowers in her hair, looking as beautiful as a fairy.
At the moment when the woman walked out, the audience cheered like crazy. Such a scene is really a little more lively than the champion parade on the street.
Lan Ru slowly spoke, "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to Qingtian, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it ......tonight" As the woman sang, the audience also shook their heads and listened with relish.
Gu Yunxin rested after entering the room, and the prince followed Yan Chao to another place, Gu Yunxin knew that this should be the intelligence station of the Netherworld Pavilion in Yingxi, since he had his own serious things to do, then Gu Yunxin naturally wanted to help cover up one or two.
"Master, have you seen it? That Lan Ru is scratching her head, let's live in another place. Xiangzhi pouted.
"If you don't like Nalan like this, just ignore her, why do you want to live in another place?" Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"Look at her foxy look, what can you do if you seduce our master?" Xiangzhi said hurriedly.
"Seducer? What kind of beauty has our master never seen, not to mention, our master is overwhelmed by the country and the city, and he is afraid that she will not succeed? Laneige raised an eyebrow.
"Master, don't worry, but what if such a woman pesters our master?" Xiangzhi said worriedly.
"It's okay, if he likes it, let him take it back." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"What? Take it back? Master, when have you been so generous, with other women, if she wants to harm you in the future, it will be impossible to prevent it. Xiangzhi said hurriedly.
The Xiao family killed Emperor Mu's concubine, several of them also knew about it, and looking at the battle in the harem, they really didn't want Gu Yunxin to get involved.
"Don't worry, she won't seduce Ye." Hongxuan shook her head helplessly.
Seeing Hong Xuan's firm answer, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, could it be that Lan Rushi, who was singing on the stage, was also a person from the Netherworld Pavilion?
If she was also a member of the Netherworld, then why didn't the prince have any expression when he looked at her just now?
That's it, that's it, so be it. Lan Ru is a person, she doesn't need to think about it so much, she believes that the prince has his own judgment and will not do something to make her sad.
In a room at the corner of the third floor, the crown prince sat on a chair, and Yan Chao knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Subordinates see the lord." ”
"Get up, Mo Feng has already told you, more than ten years ago, an official ship sank in the Lu Canal, but, on the way here, the anchor of the deity was stuck in a wreck, after checking, the ship that should have sunk in the Lu Canal appeared in the upper reaches of the Yingxi River, so, the deity suspects that someone built an identical one, and after transferring the goods on the ship, it created a mystery." The prince's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Don't worry, your subordinates have already sent someone to investigate, and there should be news soon." Yan Chao said respectfully.
"Okay, have someone prepare some light meals, bring them to the room, and the others will serve whatever they like." After speaking, the prince walked away.
Although this room is hidden, you can't stay too long, otherwise it will be more difficult to explain if someone can't find him.
After the prince walked out of the secret room, he came to the hall on the first floor, listened to Lan Ru sing, and after a while, the shopkeeper gave a pot of fine Biluochun.
"This master, look at the eyes, it's the first time to come to our Shuiyun Tower to listen to music." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Yes, my son took his family and his brothers to the south to do business, passing through Yingxi Town, so it is better to rest and rest, after all, the food that can be eaten by boat is limited." The prince said lightly.
"That's not it, this fish, shrimp and crab is everything, it is fresh to eat, but you can eat it every day, and you don't care if you are full. If you want to talk about this delicious meal, our Shuiyunlou is second to none, and there is also Lan Ru is girl. The shopkeeper said flatteringly.
"Oh? Is it? Then when it's time to eat, prepare your signature dish for us. The prince said lightly.
"Okay!" The shopkeeper smiled and poured the prince full of tea, and then went to greet the guests at the other tables.
The first floor of this Shuiyun Building is to drink tea and listen to music, the second floor is to eat, of course, you can also listen to music, and the third to fifth floors are accommodation, which can naturally attract a lot of guests.
Sitting at the next table was a fat-looking man with big ears who was looking at the prince with slanted eyes, "Hey, little white face, are you here to pursue Lan Ruyi?" Tell you, Lan Ru is the woman that Uncle Ben has a crush on, don't think that if you have a good-looking face, you can rob him. ”
Hearing this, the prince frowned slightly, there is something wrong with this guy, right? He just found a seat to drink a cup of tea, why did he become a rival in love with him to grab a woman?
Fortunately, the lady didn't hear this, otherwise, she would inevitably have to show her face. Ling Xiao, who was following the prince, quit, this Lan Ru was originally a person from the Netherworld Pavilion, to put it bluntly, she was the master's woman, but not the kind of daughter-in-law, but this guy was too bold to dare to talk to his grandfather like this.
"This fat-headed and big-eared son, my grandfather's appearance, do you still need to rob a woman with you? As long as my grandfather is willing, this woman will only chase after me to marry my grandfather, where is it like Your Excellency, chasing with a blank eye, it has to ruin the reputation of other girls. Ling Xiao sneered.
"What do you say? You stinky person, you dare to talk to Uncle Ben like this, do you know who Uncle Ben is? The fat man said angrily.
"I don't know, but I know that even if you are powerful, you can't bully others." Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and said.
"You ......" The fat man gritted his teeth and looked at Ling Xiao, but he didn't know what to say to refute for a long time.
"What am I? Do you think what I said makes sense, so ah, Ma Yu'er apologizes to my grandfather, otherwise, you will lose the face of your family. Ling Xiao said triumphantly.
"Ling Xiao, don't waste your tongue, you will go back and rest for a while, and when the next meal is ready, notify everyone to eat together." After speaking, the prince got up and went back to the guest room.
But where can that fat man let the prince leave, now that so many people are watching, he has already fallen behind, if he is making people leave with such a swagger, then will he still have the face to be in this Yingxi in the future?
"Come on, tie up this little white face and his subordinates to my uncle......"
