Cao Yue was also free for a few days after arriving in Beijing to face the saint and handing over all affairs to the emperor.

It's been more than a month since I crossed over to Daming. For more than a month, Cao Yue spent most of his time in tension and anxiety, even when he took Dai Shan and returned to Songshan with the heirloom jade seal, he didn't completely let go of his thoughts. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen, he handed over the jade seal of the country, and after winning the reward, all his thoughts were almost lost. In the next time, he was also preparing to take over as the chief soldier of Datong.

Emperor Chongzhen also asked Cao Yue Haosheng to rest for a while, and when he was rested, he would talk to him again. Emperor Chongzhen felt that Cao Yue could be of great use, and Cao Yue was young and had not been influenced by those stubborn ministers in the court, so he could train him to become a general he believed in, and maybe it could come in handy at a critical moment.

Cao Yue's father, Cao Wenzhao, was very appreciated by Emperor Chongzhen back then, and Cao Wenzhao also gave Emperor Chongzhen a lot of surprises, but unfortunately because of an accident, Cao Wenzhao died in the chaos, which made Chongzhen feel that he had lost a good general. Because of Cao Wenzhao, Chongzhen had high hopes for Cao Yue, who had performed well and was just getting the crown, and wanted to cultivate it well.

Cao Yue understood that Emperor Chongzhen looked at him differently. At a young age, he became a commander-in-chief and was able to lead an army alone, Cao Yue was full of hope for his life after the crossing, and he also repeatedly encouraged himself to change history through hard work, and he could not let the Manchu Jiannu occupy China under any circumstances.

If Emperor Chongzhen really looked at him differently, Cao Yue was ready to ask for something from Chongzhen, including policy treatment. As the chief military officer, he has an army under his command, and Cao Yue wants to build the army under his command into an elite soldier who can defeat Jiannu's elite soldiers.

If Emperor Chongzhen could agree to some of his conditions and give him support, Cao Yue believed that his wish would come true.

What is the combat power of the Ming army now, Cao Yue knows, most of the Ming army is a rabble, if it is not systematically trained, the combat effectiveness is scum, and the threat of civil rebellion and slave construction will definitely not be eliminated. Today's Ming Dynasty has been fragmented, can be described as a remnant, and compared with the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is almost the same, if some necessary changes are not made, the fall of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable.

Cao Yue's camp tent was still set up outside the city, and the thousands of soldiers and horses he brought could not enter the city, so they could only camp outside the city, which was temporarily under the control of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Cao Yue can enter the city, but he can't bring many followers. He was ready to rest for two days, make up for the lack of sleep during this time, and when he was recuperated, he would go into the city for a good stroll. In the Ming Dynasty, Bei*Beijing was definitely a world of flowers, and since it was rare to come once, it was necessary to have fun.

However, the plan is always better than the change, and the next morning after getting drunk, when Cao Yue was still asleep in the tent, he was woken up by someone around him, saying that someone had come to visit him. Cao Yue was a little annoyed when he was disturbed from sleeping, but finally got up and went to receive him.

The one who came to visit was Chang Yanling, the gentleman he met at the celebration banquet yesterday, and there were two other young people who came with Chang Yanling.

Unexpectedly, it was Chang Yanling who came to visit, and Cao Yue was quite surprised.

"It's really a shame to disturb General Cao's rest," after meeting and greeting him, Chang Yanling also expressed his embarrassment, and immediately explained his intention, "The brothers all admire General Cao's bravery and want to make a friend of General Cao." I guessed that General Cao should have free today, so I took the liberty to visit, and wanted to invite General Cao to go into the city to have a few drinks, enjoy music and music, and have a good time, I don't know what General Cao thinks? ”

It turned out that he drank by himself, he drank too much yesterday and almost made a mistake, and today he was a little groggy, Cao Yue was a little resistant to drinking, but after listening to Chang Yanling's sincerity, he was embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed hard. This guy looks good, he must be a man of wine and meat, but he just met yesterday and came to visit, he should be regarded as a lover of personality, and it is also good to make a few friends with wine and meat, not to mention that Chang Yanling is still a famous family. "Thank you Brother Chang, that little brother is better to be respectful!"

Seeing that Cao Yue did not refuse, Chang Yanling was very happy and immediately introduced several of his companions to Cao Yue. Chang Yanling is now serving as Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the two who came with him are also Jinyiwei, Zhang Shize and Guo Peimin.

Chang Yanling, Zhang Shize, and Guo Peimin are all hereditary relatives, Chang Yanling is the descendant of Chang Yuchun, the founding marshal of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shize is the descendant of the British Duke Zhang Fu, and Guo Peimin is the descendant of Guo Ying, the founding general and Wudinghou. After some talking, Cao Yue also came to the conclusion that these people in front of him were well-known gangsters in Bei*Beijing, the kind of gangsters who ordinary people can't provoke, but they are more bold and righteous.

This kind of person is Cao Yue likes to make friends, and he also knows the energy of these people in the Bei*Beijing, maybe these people can help him a lot, and it may be of great benefit to make friends with him, and the unhappiness of being woken up just now is long gone.

The age difference between several people is not big, they are all in their early twenties, and after some words, the restraints at the beginning are soon gone, and they speak casually. Chang Yanling also proposed, hurry up and go out, he booked a seat in the famous Tianxiang Building, and now it is just lunch time, a few people can drink together, listen to music and dance, and have a good afternoon.

Cao Yue did not refuse, followed Chang Yanling, Zhang Shize, and Guo Peimin out of the barracks, and rode straight to Beijing.

Tianxianglou is not far from the Forbidden City, near the very lively Gulou Street.

Tianxianglou has a great reputation, and the consumption is also very high, not ordinary people go.

When on the road, Chang Yanling whispered to Cao Yue that there are many beauties here, during this time, Cao Yue led the troops to fight in Songshan, and he must not have eaten good food, let alone beauties.

Cao Yue realized that the place where Chang Yanling took him was Qinglou Courtyard. But already on the road, Cao Yue couldn't regret it, so he could only follow Chang Yanling and the others. He also knew that it was normal for the children of noble families to visit the Qinglou Courtyard in ancient times, and it was not necessarily necessary to go there to find a woman, there were many vassal and elegant people, and many people were just to listen to music and dance and find a happy place.

Chang Yanling and the others are frequent customers of Tianxiang Building, and as soon as they rode here, the shopkeeper personally came out to greet them, welcomed them upstairs, and arranged the best private rooms for them. In fact, Cao Yue didn't know that Chang Yanling was the head snake here, and the area around the Drum Tower was in charge of the Jinyi Wei under his name, although the backstage of Tianxianglou was hard, he didn't dare to easily offend Chang Yanling, a thousand Jinyi Wei households, and he would definitely treat him as a distinguished guest.

The four of them entered the private room, and soon the little two brought up the delicious snacks.

Just when Cao Yue had just drunk hot tea and tasted dim sum, a fragrant breeze wafted in, and a group of young women with flowers and branches walked in, led by a middle-aged woman dressed up quite delicately.

After the group of young women blessed the ceremony, they stood on the side, and the bewitching middle-aged woman in the lead smiled flatteringly, walked to Chang Yanling's side, leaned her body on Chang Yanling, and said with a smile: "Chang Gongzi, you haven't been here for a few days, the sisters are very worried about you, today you are finally here, the sisters are happy, you can't snub them, let them live and wait." ”

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and prepared to salute Chang Trillium.

"Sister Li is worried about the silver in my brother's pockets," Chang Yanling pinched the bewitching woman's buttocks with a lewd smile, and drank the wine in the woman's hand dryly, and then pointed to Cao Yue, who was a little embarrassed on the side, and said: "Do you know that this is General Cao who just returned from Liaodong and took the old nest of Jiannu." Long live the Lord personally set up a banquet for him and personally issued an edict to commend him. Today, you will be waiting for General Cao, if you don't wait for him well, I will be annoyed, uncle, and it is not necessary to demolish your Tianxiang Building. ”

If you want to say that the most well-informed place, it is not comparable to the Qinglou Courtyard located in the street, where people of all religions and nine streams will come here, and all kinds of news will come out of different people's mouths and spread to other places through other people's mouths. What news is there, through this channel, it will soon spread throughout the entire Beijing City, and the news that Cao Yue led the army to break through Shengjing has already spread throughout the Beijing City, and the women of Tianxianglou, of course, have long known.

A hero like Cao Yue is naturally the object of admiration of women, I really didn't expect that this big hero would sit in front of them today, and he was also a handsome guy with a handsome appearance and a tall and strong figure. Suddenly, many women's eyes lit up, and some people didn't wait to greet them, they all hugged Cao Yue's side, gossiping about admiration, hoping to win Cao Yue's favor and let them accompany them.

After more than ten years of red education, Cao Yue, who is usually very pure-minded, was at a loss in the face of this scene, and his handsome face became red, and he almost wanted to get up and run away. Seeing Cao Yue's embarrassment, Chang Yanling and the others all laughed. They also immediately came to the conclusion that Cao Yue was a chick and had no experience in the matter of romance.

They also asked Cao Yue to pick one, or a few women to wait, and if they caught their eyes, they would let them sleep tonight. Cao Yue, who had never thought of recruiting prostitutes, finally politely rejected the proposal of Chang Yanling and others, saying that he wanted to go back to the camp to sleep, but he did not refuse to let the woman serve and drink.

Chang Yanling thought that Cao Yue didn't look down on these women, and he didn't force it, and said mysteriously at the end: "Brother Yue, to tell the truth, the women here are really not very good, if you have the opportunity, when will my brother take you to Nanjing to play, Qin Huai Bayan is the best among women, if you see them, other women will not look down on them." ”

"Nanjing, Qin Huai Bayan?" Cao Yue, who knew a little about this situation, suddenly became interested, "Has Brother Chang ever been to Nanjing and seen Qin Huai Bayan's demeanor?" ”

"I've been there once, and I've seen a few of them, it's really worthy of their reputation, their appearance, their talents, it's really amazing, alas!" Chang Yanling said, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I couldn't live in Nanjing for a long time, otherwise I might have a kiss to Fangze." ”
