In the sixth year of Xianqing (661 AD), the eighth day of the first month of spring, five o'clock in the afternoon.

The eastern capital of Luoyang Fushan Fang, close to Luoyang South City, is a famous gold cave, comparable to Chang'an Pingkangfang. Wu Kang was dressed in black, strolling leisurely through the streets, returning to Luoyang from Xuzhou, bringing back a depressed face, and the Spring Festival was not good. Xiaoqing was worried, and let her husband relax as a prostitute, and she could be called a good daughter-in-law of the Tang Dynasty.

Entering the door of Fushanfang, it was filled with fat powder, and the nasal cavity was very uncomfortable. Zhao Sheng followed suit, and his mouth gushed endlessly: "Luoyang Fushan Fang is equivalent to Chang'an Pingkang Fang." The prostitutes of the Qinglou are divided into three levels according to the object of pick-up. Inferior prostitutes, regardless of status, will serve as long as they have money. ”

The children in front were playing, the two walked against the wall, and Zhao Sheng smiled cheaply: "The medium pick-up targets are rich businessmen and tycoons, as well as small and medium-sized officials. The high-class pick-up objects are high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as celebrities and scholars. The top of the best, the top brand of each green building, the scholars call it known. ”

Signaling Zhao Sheng to shut up, Wu Kang tried hard to recall, and quickly understood it. The Qinglou Song House in the Tang Dynasty often held wine parties, invited some idle officials, and invited literati and scholars. At the scene of the cocktail party, there were silk and bamboo orchestras, light songs and dances, and accompanied wine girls. There are show hosts, mostly served by famous prostitutes, who are called all known.

The host of later generations can rely on relationships, and the host of the Tang Dynasty can only rely on ability. Personal qualities: able to speak and sing, good at poetry and literacy, knowledgeable from the past and the present; Hosting skills: good looks, good manners, good at maneuvering. Control the rhythm, create the atmosphere, and do everything in it. Let the participants come with excitement and return with fun.

Waving his hand slightly, Zhao Sheng continued: "Yan Binlou's Duzhi, his stage name is Brother Narcissus, and he is famous in the Eastern Capital. He has the style of a general, deals with all kinds of embarrassment, and can quickly cut through the mess. He has been brilliant since he was a child, and he became a top brand at the age of fifteen. Elegant and interesting conversation, noble and elegant temperament, can play music and sing, can recite poetry and paint. ”

Wu Kang smiled lightly, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, and it cannot be underestimated. Passing by the Gaomen compound, there is a woman sticking peach charms and standing on a high beard stool. Due to the uneven force, the stool suddenly shook, the lady screamed, and her delicate body fell back.

must be a hero to save the beauty, Wu Kang's eyes are fast, he strides and stretches out his arms, and the warm fragrance and warm jade are in his arms. looked at the panicked face, and was dumbfounded for a while, and the pretty face looked like a fairy. After a moment of amazement, he put her on the ground and said, "Except for my wife, you are the most beautiful little lady I have ever met." ”

Pick up the peach charm on the ground, brush the corn paste, and stick it on the left door. Shouldn't thank her, her hand twitched Zhao Sheng's head, stared at her and scolded with a smile: "Look at your breath, your eyeballs have fallen." It's not too early, go to Yanbin Building, don't let the distinguished guests wait for a long time. ”

Zhao Sheng looked away, wiped his saliva with his sleeve, and only followed with a promise. Seeing that the big guy was very calm, he couldn't help but secretly slander himself: If it is fair, the little lady in front of him is several times more beautiful than his wife. It is estimated that in his eyes, even if the fairy descends to earth, it is not as good as the lady.

I didn't take a few steps, but I listened to the whispering behind me, which was as beautiful as a hundred spirits. Zhao Sheng's bones were crispy, and he wanted to continue talking, but seeing that the big guy turned a deaf ear, he could only follow. Grinning and grimacing, lady, please let us stay, can't you hear it?

The beauty looked at her back and pursed her cherry mouth, looking very angry. For the first time since her debut, the old lady has been ignored, and that person is so annoying. The little maid beside her was also full of anger, and said angrily: "Lady, let's not be angry, this kind of person has seen a lot, and he wants to capture and indulge, carving insects and small skills." ”

The two came to the corner of the alley, Zhao Sheng turned his head and peeked, hehe smirked: "Big guy, look, the little lady just now is staring at us." is really handsome and pretty, in terms of posture and figure, and does not lose to the narcissus lady. The subordinates stole that it was also the top card of a certain building. ”

Wu Kang's footsteps did not stop, and he said impatiently: "The street is endless, look at your troubles, have you ever seen Brother Narcissus?" Whether she is beautiful or ugly, whether she is the top brand or not, it has nothing to do with us. Little brother Zhao Sheng, you just have to die, they love talents, not rough men. ”

Zhao Sheng smiled embarrassedly: "It's ridiculous, an ordinary talent, not in the eyes of the law." It is said that there is a talented man, and when he visits by a relation, Narcissus looks through the window and turns around and leaves. The maidservant informed him that the lady was not a guest, and Lang Jun asked for his own convenience. The talented man obeyed the rules, left ten taels of gold, and left dejectedly. ”

Oh my mother, Wu Kang laughed out loud, ten taels of gold and 100 yuan of money, a talented man is really a tyrant. It is estimated that Brother Narcissus is the richest man in Luoyang City, and the money comes too quickly. After thinking about it, I was relieved, brain-dead fans, unreasonable. In order to reward the female anchor, she did not hesitate to rob and steal, and her brain was flooded.

I didn't say anything all the way, and when I came to the banquet building, I was shocked by the picture. Countless well-dressed beasts surrounded the young maid and handed out the psalms in their hands. There was a fat scholar, almost pleading: "Yesterday, the thoughts were springing, and the two clumsy works of the couple bothered the little lotus lady and handed them to the little brother narcissus." ”

The hall was full of similar prayers, and the maidservant was overwhelmed, and her face was red in a hurry: "Don't be embarrassed, my lady said, before the Shangyuan Festival, I won't see all the guests." The slave begs you to go back and polish the poems, and wait until the twentieth day of the first month, and then come to Yanbin to deliver it. ”

The fans turned a deaf ear and were still entangled bitterly, and the maid wanted to cry. This group of rabbit cubs is so idle that it hurts. Wu Kang scoffed and asked Zhao Sheng to open the room and continue to enjoy the farce. I once heard Qian Shun say that many famous brands like to explore flowers with poetry.

is even more popular actresses, who have culture and connotation, and regard money as dung. If you want to get close to Fangze, you must first be literate and be able to write a few good poems. Take your work, ask the top brands to taste, and if you get into the eyes, it is possible to continue. If you don't see it right, then I'm sorry, you can't get through the door.

It seems that in my life, I am destined to be a famous prostitute, and people will not sell their art. Those who sell themselves and do not sell themselves are even less interested. A dignified general, if you want to solve your needs, you don't have to spend money at all. But it's a pity that I can only keep my daughter-in-law, and people must keep their promises.

Zhao Sheng arranged it, and the doctor received them attentively, took them into the box, and explained various rules: when the groom is patronized, the prostitution fee should be doubled, and the old customers will be half price. Drink alcohol first when you enter the door, at least three drinks. The more you drink, the more sincere your heart is, and the more likely you are to get the appreciation of the ladies.

It's okay to drink, I'm good at this. Wu Kang crossed the threshold, did not take the small wine glass, picked up two catties of wine jar, raised his head and blew on the altar. Two catties of wine in the stomach, the gas does not grow, and the face does not change color. Pat your chest, laugh weirdly, and have two more altars.

The doctor and maid are confused, looking like a monster, he is a wine vat. Zhao Sheng ordered a banquet, the doctor lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and said with a flattering face: "So that Lang Jun knows the rules of Yan Binlou, and the banquet is three hundred yuan." Lang Jun is a fresh face, and according to the rules, it must be doubled, and he will benefit six hundred words. ”

This is a big bully in the store, Wu Kang scoffed, and he was too lazy to bother with his tongue. Open the waist pocket, take out a piece of gold leaf, and put it on the central table. Pulling out the iron horizontal knife, the blade flashed in an instant. The maid screamed, and the doctor broke out in a cold sweat.

Wu Kang put away the horizontal knife, picked up the small horn of the gold leaf, and put it in the doctor's hand. The doctor's hands trembled, his tongue was knotted, and he said with a smile: "Yan Binlou stipulates that those who destroy artifacts must be compensated according to the price. Lang Jun slashed Hu Table and paid 500 copper coins..."

A crisp slap sounded, Zhao Sheng suddenly went violently, grabbed the back of his neck, and slapped him twice. Pressed him on the Hu table, scolded and said, "Keep your dog's eyes open and see if there are any knife marks." The big guy's knife technique can shave your head, do you want to try it? ”

The doctor was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and the maid screamed louder. The movement attracted onlookers, and the steps in the corridor were messy. The beautiful woman entered the door, followed by a big man with a big man in her hand, all of them fierce and vicious.

The woman was an old bustard, greased and powdered, and was about thirty years old. Seeing that his own people were beaten, he jumped like thunder, and pointed at Zhao Sheng and scolded: "Where did you come from, dare to spread wild here, beat me to death with a stick, and throw it in the backyard to feed the dogs..."

The monstrous murderous aura flashed, the scolding stopped abruptly, the thugs did not move, and the woman's forehead sweated. She has read countless people, and the murderous aura just now has never been seen in her life. At this moment, I am very sure that if I act rashly, everyone will die.

Looking at the tall man, his heart is pounding, what a fighter. He is six feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and is of medium appearance. The left side of his face has a hideous scar, and his right ear has no earlobe, and he is covered in killing. Three points are not like people, seven points are more like ghosts, and when they meet them on the night road, they can be scared to death.

The woman responded quickly, dismissed all the thugs, and sent the doctor's maidservants. The other party is quiet, and Wu Kang is too lazy to pursue it. Pull out the left stool, sit with a golden knife, stretch out your feet to pull the stool, and tap your fingers on the table.

The woman came one by one, bypassed the stool on the side of the table, and sat on Wu Kang's lap. Rou Yi locked her neck and said in a snort: "Lang Jun is so good-looking, let's visit it for the first time, slave Yan Binlou, Peng Shen is shining." The subordinates are ignorant, snub Shaolangjun, and the slaves apologize. ”

Nuan Yu was full of arms, full of charm, and Wu Kang smiled. Picked up half of the gold leaf and put it in front of her eyes: "I want to entertain friends, and I will not treat you badly." I want the best banquet, the best band, and the best lady. ”

The woman hesitated slightly, and Zhao Sheng reprimanded sharply: "If my big guy can come, it is a big face, don't be embarrassed." Ask Brother Narcissus to serve, if she doesn't come, I will demolish your restaurant. No matter who is backstage, or how many officials there are, Nai Weng does what he says. ”

The old bustard changed color, returned to normal in an instant, stroked Wu Kang's chest, and said pitifully: "The slave is timid, please calm your anger." The narcissus occasionally felt the wind and cold, and the slave was very worried, and would sweep Lang Jun Yaxing. If you insist on seeing it, please leave Mobao and the slave will pass it on your behalf. ”

Zhao Sheng went berserk again, pulled out the ring-headed horizontal knife, and put it on the woman's shoulder. The woman was finally frightened, and her body quickly stiffened, revealing her true fear. Wu Kang laughed dumbly, the bully in the film and television is also this routine.

The gold leaf in his hand, put on the bun, took away the horizontal blade, and said lukewarmly: "I am a soldier, I can't write poetry, and I don't see narcissus." Entertain distinguished guests today, don't want to pick quarrels and provoke troubles, don't be afraid of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, go and arrange it quickly. ”

As if he had been pardoned, the old bustard said goodbye in a loud voice, gently closed the door, and his pretty face changed color. Rushing back to the backyard in a rage, he summoned his heart and abdomen, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Quickly go and inform the owner, someone is making trouble here, and his status may be very high, please deal with it personally." ”

The tribe immediately moved and rode on his horse to report the news. The old bustard flashed ruthlessly, where did the Tian Shenu come from, if you don't leave two arms, the old lady will have your surname. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to stabilize him and instructed the doctor and slave to prepare a high-end banquet.

In the box on the second floor, Wu Kang listened to the report, full of disdain. Tai Sui's head is groundbreaking, and he has to pay the price, if he provokes Mao Nainong, he doesn't mind demolishing the restaurant. After thinking about it for a moment, he instructed Zhao Sheng: "Ignore her, go downstairs and wait, and welcome the guests up." ”

Zhao Sheng was a little entangled, and whispered his opinion: "I'll go and inform Qian Shun, bring more helpers over, if we really fight, we will suffer... The subordinates know that they are wrong, so they go down and guard, and if there is an accident, you shout at me. ”

Waiting for Zhao Sheng to go out, Wu Kang rolled his eyes, if it really started, I would kill them all. This rabbit cub is too short-tempered and ruthless. Because of a few quarrels, demolishing other people's stores is simply a bully. Go back and inform Mei Niang, look for a tigress, and discipline him well.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, the old bustard smiled, and the wine and food were seated one after another. The band began to play, and two handsome ladies waited on the left and right. The woman exchanged a few words of greeting, said goodbye and turned around, but was stopped by Wu Kang.

Tapping on the table, he said lightly: "The two ladies beside me, when they entered the door just now, there was disgust in their eyes. It seems that my face is not pleasing to them. I don't like to force it, you and they take it away, and don't arrange it again. ”

The second prostitute lost color, the old bustard changed color, glared at them fiercely, turned his face and smiled: "Lang Jun, don't be angry, these two cheap maids, I will discipline them." Two cheap hooves, don't hurry up and get out, go to the back hall to receive the punishment. ”

After the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, the roots of the ears were finally quiet, and Wu Kang squinted his eyes and listened to the pleasant music. About two quarters of an hour, the box door opened, Zhao Sheng shouted to stop the band, and cautiously reported: "The guest is outside the door, I bring him in?" ”

Wu Kang waved his hand and got up to the door. The old man with crane hair and childish face, looking like a fairy wind and bones, wearing a cyan robe, is the old god stick Li Chunfeng. Hurriedly put on a smiling face, and said with a pleasant face: "The old gentleman is coming, and the younger generation has missed the distance, and I hope that the gentleman will forgive the sin." ”

Li Chunfeng supported him, and said with a lot of trouble: "The Taishi Order of the Five Grades, the general is tired to welcome him, and the old man is deeply guilty. But then again, the old man is invited to a banquet, and he can have a banquet at home, so why come to Yanbin Building? ”

After a few words of greeting each other, the two entered the door together, and Wu Kang sent the band away and sat opposite him. instructed Zhao Sheng to guard the door, sit at the table with three glasses of wine, and the two of them chatted while eating. After about half an hour, I wanted to get down to business, and the door opened again.

Zhao Sheng was frightened, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and reported cautiously: "In the alley just now, the lady who almost fell, the big guy has an impression." She is from Yan Binlou, and she heard that we are drinking, so she came to serve her. ”

It feels a little interesting, such a beautiful lady, and she is also a geisha in this building. Looking up at Lao Li, Lao Li smiled and said nothing, and Wu Kang signaled to Zhao Sheng. The lady saluted, or the robe, and her pretty face was not powdered, like a clear water hibiscus.

Lao Li was quite amazed, quickly retracted his gaze, and invited Wu Kang to drink together. After three glasses of wine, he began to sigh. opened the pocket on his waist, handed over a small cloth bag, and said to himself: "The old man failed to realize the change on the day, and he felt ashamed." ”

Wu Kang opened the cloth bag, it was jet-black powder, stretched out his nose to smell it carefully, and quickly smiled. Get up and leave the table, put the powder on the ground, and ignite the fire. The powder burns quickly, bright fire, thick black smoke.

The lady covered her mouth in fright, covered her chest with her little hands, and looked at the blackened floor. Wu Kang returned to his seat and gave a thumbs up: "Your "Yi Si Zhan" divides the wind into eight levels. It is the earliest meteorological monograph in the history of the world, and it is absolutely famous in history. And the invention of gunpowder is an epoch-making change, and you are a great man. ”

Lao Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What you ignited just now is the purest gunpowder, and there are only so many." My brothers and I have worked hard for several years, but there is still no progress. It has been tested countless times, and there are many problems with small power, and it is impossible for the military. ”

This basin of cold water is a waste of feelings. Lao Li gushed endlessly, looking heartbroken, and told about all kinds of shortcomings. For example, the ignition does not work, and the moisture is clumped, and it will not even explode. The gunpowder full of bamboo tubes, tested thirty times, and exploded the bamboo tubes twice, the success rate is too touching.

Wu Kang frowned sadly, gunpowder can't be used in the military, and it still needs to be used. Feeling the warmth in her hands, she subconsciously turned her head, and the lady held the wine jug and carefully poured the wine. That cowardly appearance and well-behaved expression, I feel pity.

When I think about it, I feel that it doesn't matter. Gunpowder is the icing on the cake, whether there is or not, the battle still has to be fought. Looking at Tang industry, even if there are explosives, it is not very useful. You can't make artillery, you can't make muskets, history doesn't allow it. In the era of cold weapons, it was always the sword and spear that killed people on the battlefield.

invited Lao Li to drink together, and said with a big grin: "Sir, don't be depressed, it won't be smooth sailing if you engage in invention and creation." You are my Chao Half-Immortal, and the rest of the Dao Masters are all equipped with unique skills. As long as you devote yourself to research, I believe that one day, gunpowder will equip the army. ”

Li Chunfeng frowned bitterly: "The change is reasonable, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable, the old man is close to the sixtieth year, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day." Don't talk about this today, I changed my military background, and I actually read "Yi Si Zhan", which is impressive. Since you are interested, how about discussing one or two? ”

Art is not pressing, you can't ask for it, the general who leads the army must understand astronomy and geography. The topic gradually spread, and Wu Kang humbly asked for advice, and he felt deeply for a while. Out of the corner of her eye, she found that the lady pursed her lips lightly and gently pulled out small fish bones.

Xiaoqing also loves to eat fish, the cautious look, the movements of the hands, the two are the same. Wu Kang couldn't help but smile, opened the pocket on his waist, and took out a special knife. Bring the fish plate to the front, open the bow left and right with both hands, and skillfully pick out the fish bones.

looked at Li Chunfeng and spoke very modestly: "Wind level division, I have some superficial opinions, please Mr. for guidance." Zero-level wind, smoke straight up; First-class wind, smoke slightly off; Two-level wind, the sound of leaves; Three-level points, flag fluttering; Level 4 wind, dusty; Category 5 wind, waves; Level 6 wind, big trees shake. ”

After finishing the first half, the stabbing action did not stop, and listened to the comments of the gods. The great god pondered for a long time, and said with a long hair in his hand: "The words are concise and to the point, the division is accurate, and it is in line with the facts. There should be the following, and the changes will be said, and let's discuss it together. ”

Wu Kang was encouraged, put the processed fish in front of the lady, and recited the second half: "Seven-level wind, it is difficult to walk; Eight-level wind, broken branches; Nine-level wind, chimney collapse; Ten winds, tree roots. Eleven or twelve, the land will not be seen, and it will rise above the ocean. ”

Lao Li was dumbfounded, and his expression was quite weird. Wu Kang's heart was happy, he was shocked by me, and he didn't bow down yet. Soon I realized that something was wrong, and my eyes drooped significantly, as if I didn't look at me. followed the eyes to find, but also dumbfounded, derived from a deep embarrassment.

The lady was crying, looking at herself blankly, as if she was moved. His eyes continued to move down, and when he saw the plate of roasted fish, he scratched his head and explained: "My wife loves fish, and I am afraid that the fish bones will hurt my throat, so I will pick out the fish bones for her." Just now, out of habit, if there is any offense, please also ask the lady Haihan. ”

After a brief silence, she quickly shook her head and moved her chopsticks to pick up the fish. After eating seven or eight bites, tears glistened in the corners of my eyes, and I was touched. The girl of the Tang Dynasty was easily moved. If in the previous life, as long as there was no money, you took out your heart, and she would take it to feed the dog.

Wu Kang pretended, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped his tears. If you pretend to be a few people, you can't cry when you eat fish, and the fish will become salty. Hearing Lao Li's dry cough, he quickly stopped his movements. This is not kind, a sixty-year-old man, eating dog food in public, is a great crime.

Li Chunfeng rolled his eyes and decisively changed the topic: "The division of change is more detailed than that of the old man, and it is also very reasonable." It's just that the old man doesn't understand, why does the biggest two-level wind only rise in the ocean? Can you describe the power of the eleventh and second winds? ”

Who knows, advanced astronomy, I know seven or six. The plan was perfunctory, and he suddenly heard the quarrel outside, and his voice was unusually arrogant. Zhao Sheng pulled out a horizontal knife and roared in his voice: "I don't care who you are, if you dare to break in, your head will fall to the ground." ”

The other party was even more arrogant, several horizontal knives were unsheathed, and the sound was extremely harsh. Lao Li couldn't help frowning, Wu Kang sneered, and ordered outside the door: "The toad yawns, what a big breath." Zhao Sheng let it in, I want to see, who is so arrogant? ”

The door slammed open, and the burly old man walked in, his yellow face murderous. The two looked at each other and were stunned at the same time. After about half a minute, Wu Kang got up and saluted: "General Youtunwei, it seems that he has no right to let my family die." May I ask General Zheng, am I right? ”
