Chapter Twenty-Three: Four O'Clock Song and Dance Workshop
"Is there only one main entrance to the cabaret shop?" Yun Ruowu picked up the bowl of water on the table, pointed to the Four Seasons Song and Dance Workshop opposite the street and asked in a low voice.
The old man of the noodle stall was stunned for a moment, ordinary people come to the song and dance workshop to see the singer go through the main door, is it possible that the fat boy in front of him wants to go in and steal. The old man sneered, shook his head and said, "Didn't the young man come to the Four Seasons Song and Dance Workshop to have fun?" ”
Hearing this, Yun Ruowu suddenly understood that normal people looking for pleasure should all go to the main gate, and he forgot the right path in front of him after going around for most of the day, he put down the bowl in his hand, walked quickly through the crowd on the street, and came to the main gate of the Four Seasons Song and Dance Workshop, swallowed his saliva, and walked in.
"Who is this looking for, little brother?" A guard at the door saw Yun Ruowu probing his brain and looking inside, so he stepped forward to block his vision with his chest and shouted.
Yun Ruowu directly pushed him away and walked straight into the main gate, as soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by all kinds of beauties who were all kinds of powdered and rubbed rouge, he saw so many beauties for the first time, and his eyes looked directly at the people in front of him, a little overwhelmed.
"You... You..."Yun Ruowu was nervous, and he didn't know how to speak, he hurriedly waved his hand and fled quickly from the crowd of beautiful women.
"Little brother, do you want my sister to accompany you?"
"This little brother, I have a good dancing girl here, do you want to come and see.... Alas... Don't go."
"Cut! Must be a poor ghost..."
Yun Ruowu ignored the crowd, and still walked along the wooden corridor near the wall of the hall towards the song and dance workshop, looking around from time to time, looking for the merchants who came to Dragon City with him. But after searching for a long time, there was still no trace, and on the high stage of singing and dancing in the middle of the hall, the four dancing girls were swaying vigorously, teasing the rich businessmen in the hall with all kinds of postures.
He went around in a circle, but still didn't find anything, and suddenly bumped into the guard in the song and dance workshop in front of him, the guard stared at Yun Ruowu with round eyes, and roared roughly, "Little brother, what are you trying to do, I've been paying attention to you for a long time." If you are here to find fun, you can sit down in the hall, we have our own good food and drink, if you are here to find stubble, don't blame me."
Yun Ruowu looked at the strong man who was bumping into him, hurriedly turned his head and left, found a secluded seat in the hall, and sat down.
"Little Er, come to a pot of good wine!" Yun Ruowu took out five taels of silver from his arms and threw them on the table, looking very generous.
Seeing this, the little maid in the hall in the distance hurried over, with a smile on his face, bent down respectfully, put away the silver on the table, and said happily, "This little brother, please wait a moment, the wine you want will arrive soon." ”
The little guy picked up the silver taels and was about to turn away, Yun Ruowu grabbed his left hand, and quietly stuffed him with three taels of silver, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he whispered, "Little brother, I want to ask you something." ”
The little guy hurriedly put the silver in his hand into his sleeve, turned his head to Yun Ruowu, and said with a smile, "Little brother, wait a minute, I'll come when I go." The little servant walked briskly to the counter with a wooden plate, took a pot of wine and a plate of snacks from the counter, and walked back quickly.
The little guy bowed, slowly put the wine glass on the wooden plate on the table, and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what news the little brother wants to inquire?" ”
Yun Ruowu saw that the little guy was orderly, and put down the wine utensils and snacks on the wooden plate very slowly, nodded with satisfaction and asked, "I don't know the little second brother, have you ever seen the merchants from Xixueyuan?" ”
"Shiano Snow Plain?" The little guy put the second glass on the table, frowned slightly, thought thoughtfully, shook his head, and nodded.
"Is that yes or no?" Yun Ruowu was a little anxious, he kept patting his thigh with his right hand, and looked at the little guy with his eyes.
The little guy put down the wine jug on the wooden plate, poured the wine for Yun Ruowu with his right hand, and reminded, "Little brother might as well take a sip of the wine from our song and dance workshop first, this wine is brewed from the thousand-year-old snow of Xixue Peak." ”
"Have you seen it? When? Where? When Yun Ruowu heard the three words of Xi Xuefeng, he immediately tensed his nerves, picked up the wine glass on the table with his right hand, and drank it all, so hot that his tongue trembled.
The little guy put the snacks on the wooden plate on the table again, and when he saw Yun Ruowu's cheeks flushed, he smiled dryly, "It seems that the little brother is really drinking for the first time, and I will tell you when I see your reward for silver." ”
"Speak quickly!" The wine was so spicy that Yun Ruowu's tongue was knotted, he quickly picked up the snack and kept stuffing it into his mouth, seeing that the little guy was smiling crookedly.
The little servant poured him another glass of wine, covered the wine glass with his hand, lowered his head and whispered, "That group of merchants has been to the song and dance workshop, but..."
Yun Ruowu anxiously asked, "But what! ”
"Gone!"
"Gone? Where did it go? ”
The little servant took his hand away, glanced at the wine glass on the table, and motioned for Yun Ruowu to have another drink, "Let's go where they should go." ”
"You're kidding me?" Yun Ruowu looked angry, picked up the wine glass and slammed it on the ground, snorted coldly, his face showed a fierce face, his eyes showed a murderous aura, and he squeezed out seven words viciously in his mouth, "Believe it or not, I killed you!" ”
The group of merchants that Yun Ruowu encountered was the caravan of the Ouyang family, one of the four great families of Dragon City, who mainly sold the treasures of the northern frontier to Dragon City, and brought the rare things in the southern border of Dragon City back to the Xixue Plain and sold them to various tribes in the northern territory.
The little guy pointed to the door, spit out a breath of turbidity, and said nervously, "You go out to chase now, you should still be able to catch up, at this time, you should just come out of Changle and go to the west gate." ”
"What! Are you saying they left Dragon City and were about to return to the Shioyuki? Yun Ruowu jumped up from the bench in shock, and secretly said in his heart, if the caravan returned to the northern frontier, wouldn't the Baiyun Sword sink into the sea. He rushed out of the main entrance of the song and dance workshop, and happened to meet Gong Ming and others.
"Don't run!" When Gong Ming saw the short and fat boy who had just run out of the Four Seasons Song and Dance Workshop, he recognized him as Yun Ruowu at a glance, and shouted urgently.
After Gong Ming said goodbye to Qin Min, he went directly into the Liu family's pawnshop, he took Yun Ruowu's portrait and handed it to the courtier who had collected the jade pendant before, which scared the man into a cold sweat, but Sun Mingli still pretended to be calm.
Seeing this, Gong Ming pretended not to see through it, but turned around and walked out of the pawnshop, and turned a person with a similar body shape to Yun Ruowu behind him into Yun Ruowu, and ordered that person to see Sun Mingli, which directly shocked the other party and fell to the ground, and Gong Ming took the opportunity to coerce and lure.
Sun Mingli had no choice but to admit that he had seen Yun Ruowu, but he hid the matter of being a jade pendant, and just told the other party that the person in the portrait was asking him about the location of the Four Seasons Song and Dance Workshop.
Got where Yun Ruowu was going, Gong Ming immediately rushed to the song and dance workshop with people, but he didn't meet Yun Ruowu in the workshop and around, and when he was going to search the song and dance workshop, he ran into Yun Ruowu and rushed out in a hurry, rushing west.
Yun Ruowu looked even more panicked when he saw the guards of Shangguan Mansion, quickened his pace, and rushed towards the west, followed by Gong Ming and a group of guards who quickly chased after him.
"I'm not familiar with you, why are you chasing me!" Yun Ruowu panted as he ran, and turned around from time to time to complain.
Gong Ming and the others saw that the other party was running faster and faster, so they hurriedly waved their hands and signaled the guards behind them to outflank them by different routes, taking shortcuts from the alleys and streets, while he took more than a dozen guards to chase after them.
