On the sixth day of March in the second year of Fengtian, Qizhou City, Shandong
A group of horse dealers slowly and leisurely into Qizhou City, relative to the merchants in Qizhou City, the number of this group of people is not much, can only be regarded as medium, after entering Qizhou City, go straight to a more prosperous street in the outer city, according to the guidance of the city guard, into a tavern that specializes in providing food and lodging for traders from all over the world, of course, there are many brothels and inns not far away.

Speaking of the inn in Qizhou City, it is all thanks to the credit of the merchants, Shangguan Yin Feng set up a high-end place to provide food and accommodation for the merchants when he set up a merchant in Nanyang, the inn, its scale is much better than the flat building of the tavern, and the inn of the two- or three-story building is a novel building in this era.
It's just that the Qinglou is still a brothel here, for the fashion of entering the Qinglou in Nanyang, the brothel here is completely to provide a place for the pastime of merchants, as long as you have money and silver, you can have a Spring Festival with the woman you fancie.
"What are you eating?" The tavern's second child stepped forward and wiped the table in front of him clean.
"Boss, what do you want to eat?" A young man said respectfully to a handsome but bearded man.
"Feel free to..."
"A few masters heard that the accent was from Hebei, right?" Xiao Er poured the tea: "Now that there are wars everywhere in Hebei, business is not good..."
The young man from before smiled bitterly, and then shook his head: "No way, we came here from Youbeiping to sell horses, and it was also because of the war that the horse business was easy to do..."
Soon Xiao Er served the food, the young man and the bearded man sat together and ate, a stout man also sat at a table with them, and the rest of the seven or eight people gathered around not far away to eat, if you look carefully, the young man is Huanglong, and the stout man is Zhang Xiong, the handsome bearded man is Shangguan Yin Feng, because Shangguan Yin Feng's appearance is famous in Huaxia, and now in Cheng Gongwu's lair, Cheng Gongwu and many of his subordinates have seen Shangguan Yin Feng, if not disguised, There is a good chance that it will be recognized.
The previous letter sent by Jinyiwei desperately was no one else, it was Liang Xi's secret letter to Shangguan Yin Feng, the content on it was as if Shangguan Yin Feng would appear in Qizhou City, Liang Xi said in the letter that Liang Gong was willing to surrender to Shangguan Yin Feng, but in order to see Shangguan Yin Feng's sincerity, he wanted Shangguan Yin Feng to meet with him in Qizhou City and discuss things in detail, and all the generals expressed their opposition at that time. Li Yanqing didn't dare to do anything to Shangguan Yin Feng, but now the situation is different, once Shangguan Yin Feng is discovered, it is impossible to evacuate safely like Anyang.
And this time he came to Qizhou, Shangguan Yin Feng dressed up as the head of the merchant who sold horses, claiming to be from Youbeiping, and sold the horses bought from Wuhuan to the princes and merchants around the country to earn the difference in the middle, because Cheng Gongwu's Qi is still circulating silver and copper coins, so these things are no problem for Shangguan Yin Feng, this time they came to Qizhou, in order to be realistic, they selected a hundred military horses and pulled them here to sell them, covering up their identity.
"Boss Yin, when are we going to meet the merchant?" Huang Long asked respectfully, and outside Shangguan Yin Feng assumed the name Yin Song, and also told his subordinates that they all called him 'Boss Yin', and the merchant in Huang Long's mouth was referring to Liang Gong.
Since they have just entered the city now, if they are reckless and go to find Lianggong, it is very likely to be discovered, although they are dressed as traders, but they are not familiar with the situation, even if they pretend, they have to pretend to be good, Shangguan Yin Feng shook gently, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "Don't worry, today you go to find out the location first, and let's go again tomorrow night, let people contact the merchant who bought the horse, sell the horse first, make a show, don't be discovered by the spies under Cheng Gongwu." ā
"No," Huang Long promised.
After Shangguan Yin Feng ate and drank enough, he asked all his men to disperse to buy supplies, after all, they were traders, and they had to be full of appearances, and now he was very sure that he would be monitored after entering the city, and Shangguan Yin Feng's bold guess was true, every foreign trader who entered Qizhou City was closely monitored by the spies in the city, and if something was wrong, he would be 'greeted' by the Qi army.
After the order, Shangguan Yin Feng took Zhang Xiong and a brocade guard dressed up as a purchaser, wandering around the streets of Qizhou, and had to admire Cheng Gongwu's governance ability. The capital 'but the governance of only one, most of the bustling streets are modeled after the streets of Nanyang to build, double-storey three-storey four-storey buildings can be seen everywhere, the main roads are paved with bluestone slabs, there are countless merchants on the street, there are loess streets, but also close to the edge of the city, after all, Qizhou City is also the nest of Cheng Gongwu, the city width is indeed very large, it is in this bustling street to take a look, it took nearly half an hour, compared with an hour in Nanyang, it is indeed very big.
"Boss, in front of it is the palace of Qi State, there are more soldiers over there, it's better not to pass..."
Hearing that he was about to arrive at the palace of Qi State, Shangguan Yin Feng also stopped, then turned around and walked towards the street on the right, turned his head to see that the sun was about to set, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Xiong and the two behind him: "Let's go, follow the boss and I will go to the Qinglou here to see, how does it compare with Nanyang..."
Drunken Moon Building, the famous green building in Qizhou City, is also the largest one, purely imitated Nanyang's Drunken Moon Xuan and built, the building is four floors, covers an area of nearly five acres, even the name is a word difference, the boss is a green building woman in Nanyang Drunken Moon Xuan, was favored by a wealthy businessman in Qizhou, redeemed Drunken Moon Xuan, came to Qizhou as a concubine, and built the first four-storey green building in the north under the funding of the rich businessman, named Drunken Moon Building, all the brothels in Qizhou City and the green building can not be compared with it, people who come here for recreation are either rich or expensive, Many beautiful women who can't live can come here to be *** in order to be like the boss here, and they are taken away as concubines by rich people.
"Drunken Moon Building..."Shangguan Yin Feng looked at the plaque above his head, looked back at Zhang Xiong with some surprise and said, "Could it be that Drunken Moon Xuan is so famous..."
Shangguan Yin Feng also said casually, and a young man who was dressed gorgeously and was about to go in turned his head to look at Shangguan Yin Feng and said, "This guy is not here for the first time, right, so clear about the background of this Drunken Moon Tower?" ā
"What does brother's words mean?" Shangguan Yin Feng asked curiously: "I am a horse dealer from Youbeiping, Hebei Province, the first time I came to Qizhou, I just heard of Zuiyue Xuan in Nanyang. ā
The man raised his head and smiled: "I see, a few people came from afar, but they know that the boss of this Drunken Moon Mansion was a ** in Nanyang Drunken Moon Xuan?" ā
"From Nanyang?" Shangguan Yin Feng deliberately pretended to be surprised, however, he was really surprised in his heart.
