Text Chapter VII Liuxian Building
Liuxian Building has three floors, covers a large area, full of singing and dancing, laughing, drunken scolding, bustard mother turtle male shouting, people come and go, lively and extraordinary.
An Ruomu sat in a quiet small box, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at the amber liquid in the glass, thoughtful.
"Young Master An, who do you want?" Xiaoxi sat next to him and watched him, holding his hand in one hand.
An Ruomu smiled ruffianly: "You are here, who else can I think of?" ”
Xiaoxi smiled and tapped on his shoulder, "I know who you're thinking about - I've inquired for you." ”
"How?" An Ruomu tensed.
"The white fat man went to Yuxinzhou and was taken by Blackbeard." Xiaoxi poured some wine into his cup, "It is said that this time there were heavy casualties, some were killed, some were burned. ”
"Go find someone or find something?" An Ruomu was even more nervous.
"Go find someone and ask for something." The brook sipped wine, "People and things were found, and they were lost again." ”
"Is there anyone else going?" An Ruomu put down his wine glass.
Xiaoxi looked out of the door and leaned over to An Ruomu's ear: "I heard that I met Princess Bei." ”
An Ruomu nodded slightly, knowing that this was all he could ask, so he fell silent again.
According to Qingzhengtang's convention, Excellence and Rongquan should have sent the news back twice a day, morning and evening, but now, it has been almost two days since they last contacted. During this period, both openly and secretly, An Ruomu has been inquiring through various channels, and it is only today that he finally found out some news.
On that day, someone pretended to be Yao Tianyin, knocked out Zhuo Zhuo, and stole "that thing", everyone didn't say anything, but they knew in their hearts that for hundreds of years, the apparent peace between demons and humans was afraid that it would be difficult to maintain.
"Young Master An, which of the three kings in the southwest and north of Yue Xinzhou do you say is the most powerful?" Xiaoxi felt too lonely and started talking.
An Ruomu didn't think about it and said, "It's all amazing." ”
"The king of the south is the richest, and has the most sons; Although the king of the north has only one daughter, this daughter can top two or three sons. Xiaoxi snapped her fingers, "But a long, long time ago, the King of the West was their boss, and he must have been very remarkable." ”
"The King of the West a long, long time ago was amazing." An Ruomu leaned back in his chair, "At that time, there was only one king in the demon clan, the King of the West. ”
"The old king of the West was too rampant, and was killed by the combination of Xuyang and Dusk Yao's people, and the demon clan was also driven from Shaode Continent to Yuexin Continent. Then the king of the new west took over, and the king of the north was not convinced, and he was the first to stand on his own, right? "The brook is most interested in these market legends.
An Ruomu looked at her and was noncommittal.
"Later, the king of the south played a clever trick and insisted that the demon clan in the south support him as the king, and the king of Xinxi had no choice but to go with him." The brook said that it was rising, and its eyes were shining.
An Ruomu still didn't speak.
Xiaoxi lowered his voice and continued mysteriously: "If you want me to say, the North King is the most powerful, and his ears and eyes are wide. ”
An Ruomu laughed, just as she was showing off the rumors she had heard from nowhere.
"Really, don't believe it." Xiaoxi was unhappy, "There are several guests who have a relationship with the North King." ”
"Oh?" An Ruomu became interested, "Who are they?" ”
Xiaoxi rolled her eyes coquettishly and didn't answer.
An Ruomu understood her thoughts, and took out a small brocade box from his pocket to play with: "Oh, I don't remember who it is, I said that I like the purple pearls produced by Twilight very much." ”
Before the words fell, Xiaoxi screamed happily, snatched the brocade box and opened it, and saw a pair of small dark purple pearl stud earrings inside, and smiled happily.
"What, you said that?" An Ruomu scraped on the face of the stream.
Xiaoxi's displeasure has long been thrown out of the clouds, and he hurriedly put on earrings, shaking his head from side to side, and asking if he looks good.
An Ruomu flattered a few words and returned to the previous topic: "Which guests are related to the North King?" ”
This is a small talk between prostitutes and women when they have nothing to do, not a secret, Xiaoxi has benefited, and naturally does not hide it and tell it, and when it comes, it also provides the characteristics of a certain person and his whereabouts that night.
An Ruomu secretly wrote it down, said a few more words, and left.
It's still early, and the people in the Liuxian Building are buzzing.
An Ruomu found the bustard's mother and said that she wanted to play something else tonight.
When the bustard's mother heard this, she hesitated and said: "Young Master An, you are just embarrassing me, if you want a girl, you can choose, if you want anything else, there is no Xianlou." ”
"I don't embarrass you, really, I just want to try my luck." An Ruomu glanced towards a secluded corner, "If I want to embarrass you, I'll come with Zhuo Zhuo and Yao Tianyin." ”
As soon as the names of these two people came out, the bustard's mother's face turned white.
An Ruomuhu raised his face and said: "Don't think I don't know what is under your Liuxian Tower, if I want to embarrass you, can you still open this place until now?" ”
The bustard's mother laughed wryly, and in desperation, she had to call a turtle male to lead the way.
An Ruomu followed, entered a small door that was extremely hidden, and walked through the long and narrow staircase to a large iron door.
When the iron door was opened, a series of shouts and strong tobacco and alcohol smells mixed with the face.
An Ruomu walked in slowly - he had always known about the existence of the underground casino in Liuxian Tower, but it was the first time he had come here.
The casino was large, with many rooms and a lot of people, and everyone's attention was focused on the chips in front of them, and no one noticed the new strangers.
An Ruomu held the chips in his hand, carefully identified one face after another, and finally found the person who matched the description in front of a table of mahjong.
He had just lit a cannon and had lost a lot and was a little frustrated, while the other two were babbling and complaining except for the winner.
An Ruomu stood not far away, listening to their small talk, and was sure that this was the person Xiaoxi was talking about.
At this time, a person got up and left, An Ruomu hurriedly passed, and said while sitting down: "Three are missing one?" Can I make one? ”
The few people who were still at the table didn't squeak.
An Ruomu didn't look at them, he only stared at the cards, and his mouth was not idle, constantly lamenting that life was hard and business was difficult.
Most of the people who come here are mercenaries, and they are all making a living by licking blood from the knife edge, this kind of topic can resonate very much, or it won't be long before the other two people are already chatting with An Ruomu quite familiarly.
An Ruomu struck while the iron was hot and asked the waiter to bring wine and snacks.
Several people were eating, drinking, and chatting, and before long, all of them were flushed red, and their voices were getting louder and louder.
"A few big brothers, the younger brother has bad luck today and has lost everything." An Ruomu showed the empty drawer.
"I have this, I'll lend you some." The one who won the most was called Liu Shan.
An Ruomu didn't agree or refuse, and looked at the time: "Take a break, I'll invite you to have supper." ”
Liu Shan politely excused himself, and another person named Eagle also followed along to say polite words, only the one who claimed to be the Nine Soldiers cherished words like gold from beginning to end, and only kept looking at An Ruomu.
An Ruomu ignored him, staggered to order a bunch of food, and dragged a few people away from the mahjong table.
During the banquet, Liu Shan and Eagle drank a lot of wine again, and called An Ruomu brothers.
An Ruomu raised his tongue wide, and a glass of wine was raised directly under the nose of the nine soldiers: "Big brother, little brother respects you, I wish you a prosperous day as soon as possible." ”
"Brother, don't you know, Lord Nine Soldiers is a popular man in front of the Northern King, and he has already soared." The eagle squinted his red eyes and giggled.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiubing didn't drink a few sips of wine and was very sober.
"Really? The King of the North is a great man. An Ruomu's eyes widened, and the wine was not respectful, but he drank it all by himself, "Can the eldest brother say a few good words for the younger brother, and let the younger brother also find a position in front of the king of the north?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a moment.
After a while, the nine soldiers sneered.
Liu Shan came back to his senses and laughed together, the louder he laughed, and secretly pulled the eagle.
The eagle also laughed, stood up, and pulled An Ruomu up by the way: "Let's go, go pee." I've drunk too much, man, help me out. ”
The two walked shoulder to shoulder to the toilet and stood side by side in front of the urinal.
"Big brother, how big an official is this Nine Soldiers?" An Ruomu pretended to be like this, and he didn't make a small difference.
The eagle "hissed", his face full of disdain: "My lord? Phew! ”
