In the evening, Shangguan Xiu only took Cao Lei and Zhan Xiong to the appointment.
The two of them are the kind of people who are tall and have one head and one on their backs, following behind Shangguan Xiu, one carrying a sword at his waist and the other with a saber at his waist, like two door gods.
Located in the eastern part of the city, the Castle Commander's Mansion is larger than the Castle Lord's Mansion and is easy to find.
On the way to the City Governor's Mansion, Shangguan Xiu also took Cao Lei and Zhan Xiong to walk around the city by the way.
Most of the pedestrians on the streets are merchants, both caravans and one-legged traders, and the main streets of the city are still bustling with activity in the evening.
The area around Huyaguan is not peaceful, bandits are a deep-rooted old problem, and traders in the past are often robbed, but now it seems that bandits have not affected the prosperity of foreign trade. As long as it is profitable, there will naturally be bold businessmen who will fight hard.
"Guest officer, come in and have a drink!" When Shangguan Xiu and the three of them passed by the Qinglou, from time to time there were young girls dressed in bewitching clothes and dressed coolly to come out to solicit customers.
Zhenjun is a place where the people are open, and Huyaguan is especially here, and there has never been such an education where men and women are not intimate.
Seeing that the soliciting girl was wearing transparent tulle on the outside, and only a bust that was too small to be small, Cao Lei's eyes were about to fall out.
In Shangjing, he has never seen a woman dressed like this, which cannot be described as not covering her body, she is simply not wearing clothes.
Shangguan Xiu is a native of Zhenjun, so he is not surprised by this kind of thing. He smiled indifferently, pulled back his clothes, and continued to walk forward.
"Why don't you sit upstairs?" the beautiful voice came down from the second floor.
Shangguan Xiu subconsciously raised her eyes to look up, and saw a young and beautiful girl sitting on the windowsill on the second floor, surprisingly, she did not wear heavy makeup, only a little powder, but her beauty was a few points better than other girls, she put one leg on the windowsill, and her skirt was lifted, naturally revealing a fair and slender **.
Cao Lei, who was standing behind Shangguan Xiu, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but immediately attracted Zhan Xiong beside him with a big roll of his eyes.
"May I ask the girl's name?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile.
Although a girl was sitting on the windowsill with one leg exposed, which was very indecent, Shangguan Xiu looked at her as if she had found a lily among thousands of flowers, clean and white as jade.
"Yu Fei. The girl replied with a smirk.
"Nice name. Shangguan Xiu nodded and continued to walk forward.
"Don't you want to come up and sit down?" asked the girl, surprised.
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand without replying. Cao Lei quickly caught up with him and whispered, "Brother Xiu, this girl is very beautiful!"
"You're tempted?"
Cao Lei's old face turned red, and he didn't say anything.
"This girl is not simple. β
"Huh?" Cao Lei looked at him in surprise.
"It's a spiritual cultivator. β
"Huh?" This time, even Zhan Xiong looked at him with a surprised face.
Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.
But all those who cultivate the spirit will naturally exude spiritual pressure from their bodies. Others may not be able to feel it, but Shangguan Xiu's sense of air flow changes is too keen.
He had only stopped and stood for a short moment just now, and he could clearly feel the gusts of air coming from the girl's body, which was the spiritual pressure leaking from the cultivator's body.
"How could a spiritual cultivator fall into the dust, and she is still so beautiful......" Cao Lei muttered with a puzzled face.
"We're just new here, and how deep the water is in Huya Pass, we still have to wade slowly!" A young and beautiful spiritual cultivator is in the Qinglou, it is indeed very strange, but this has nothing to do with himself, Shangguan Xiu doesn't want to meddle in things, and he doesn't want to find out.
To make a long story short, Shangguan Xiu, Cao Lei, and Zhan Xiong came to the City Governor's Mansion. There was a family member waiting at the door for a long time, and after hearing Shangguan Xiu's name and surname, the family immediately invited the three of them in.
Entering the lobby, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, and it was Wang Wei who was sitting in the center, and on the left and right sides, there were ten small tables on each side, and now there were nine people here, and only one table was empty.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu walking in from the outside, Wang Dao, who was chatting and laughing with everyone, laughed and stood up and said, "Brother Shangguan, our big guy is waiting for you, hurry up, please take a seat!"
"Lord Wang!" Shangguan Xiu first arched his hand to Wang Dao, and then looked at everyone present and asked, "......What are these brothers?"
"Haha, Brother Shangguan, they are all the same as you, they are the battalion captains of our Huya Pass! Come on, come on, everyone will also see Brother Shangguan, and they will be a family in the future!"
Under Wang Dao's greeting, everyone got up one after another and saluted Shangguan Xiu.
Shangguan Xiu could feel that these nine battalion captains were all spiritual cultivators, and at least two of them were cultivators of the Spirit Yuan Realm. I can't see that Wang Dao has the money to invite such a spiritual cultivator.
The rank of the city captain is only seven grades, and the moon is only seven stones, which is less than four taels if it is converted into silver taels.
"Okay, okay, Brother Shangguan, please take a seat!" beckoned Shangguan Xiu to sit down, and Cao Lei and Zhan Xiong also knelt down behind Shangguan Xiu. Wang Dao raised his hand and slapped his face.
With two crisp sounds, more than a dozen beautiful young women walked in from the outside, dressed similarly to the women in the Qinglou, with tulle on the outside and a tight and short chest on the inside.
The young ladies all came to everyone's table with a tray of wine and food in their hands, knelt down, and placed the wine and food on the tray on the table one by one.
Wang Dao laughed, hugged the woman who poured wine for him, pecked her cheek, then picked up the wine glass, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Brother Shangguan has come from afar, this official will give you a glass first!"
"Lord Wang, please!" Shangguan Xiu picked up the wine glass, saluted Wang Dao's side, and then raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Haha! It's refreshing enough! Listen to the accent, Brother Shangguan is from our Zhenjun, and he sees it as a pie, and it is also a pie from our Zhenjun people!"
As soon as Shangguan Xiu put down the wine glass, a big man opposite him picked up the glass and said, "Brother Shangguan, I, Li Que, also toast you!"
After the girl on the side poured the wine, he picked up the cup and said, "Brother Li, please!"
"Please!"
The two drank another glass of wine. This time, Shangguan Xiu's cup was not put down, and a big man next to him picked up the cup again and said: "Brother Shangguan, I also toast you with a cup, we will be brothers in the future, but we must take care of each other!"
Cao Lei and Zhan Xiong, who were kneeling behind Shangguan Xiu, frowned secretly, they were in a wheel war, if one person toasted a glass, Brother Xiu would have to drink ten glasses in a row, even if he drank a lot, he couldn't stand this kind of drinking.
Cao Lei moved forward and said, "Brother Xiu, I'll help you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu had already raised his hand to stop his words. He put down his glass, and when the girl had poured it full, he raised his glass and said, "Brother Gao, please!"
"Please!"
Shangguan Xiu drank up the third glass of wine, and without waiting for others to toast again, Shangguan Xiu took the wine jug over, took off the lid of the jug, held the wine jug high and said: "Drink cup by cup, that's too slow, and it's not our Zhenren style, I respect everyone for a pot, do it first!"
With that, he held the flask high and poured a whole jug into his stomach with a clatter.
Everyone present was stunned, couldn't help but look at each other, and finally looked at Wang Dao in unison.
The smile on Wang Dao's face stiffened for half a second, and soon returned to normal, he laughed and said: "Refreshing! Brother Shangguan is really refreshing! This official is not polite, accompany you to drink a pot!"
As he spoke, he also lifted the flask and poured it into the spout. Zhengun's sake is famous for its spiciness, and it is all burned knives, and when you drink it in your stomach, it is really like a knife scraping around on your stomach.
Seeing that Wang Dao drank a pot of wine dry, everyone else present also stiffened their hair and picked up the wine jug and poured it wildly.
Shangguan Xiu's preemptive move really shocked everyone present, and in the next banquet, no one took the initiative to toast him.
Because they all poured a pot of wine, under the influence of alcohol, the emotions of everyone present gradually rose. There is no serious thing to talk about, all the talk is about the wind and snow.
Wang Dao's actions are also getting more and more bold, up and down the girl on the side, and finally pulled down the bust on her body, he rubbed the girl's white breasts with one hand, and smiled at Shangguan Xiu: "Brother Shangguan, these girls are invited by the official from the most famous Cuixiangju in Huya Pass, you can see how it is, it can be called the national color Tianxiang, right?!"
While Wang Dao was talking, the girl next to Shangguan Xiu also leaned over to him from time to time, her soft breasts rubbing against his arms.
Shangguan Xiu smiled at Wang Dao and said, "It's all beautiful." β
"However, Brother Shangguan doesn't seem to like this one very much!" As he spoke, he deliberately looked at the young woman who was kneeling next to Shangguan Xiu, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Shangguan, which one has you taken a fancy to, although you pointed it out, the official arranged for her to spend the night with you!"
"Thank you Lord Wang for your kindness, but I've been tired of running around for the past few days, and I just want to go back and get a good night's sleep tonight. β
"Oh, so that's it!" Wang Wei smiled, but didn't say much. After a while, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Brother Shangguan has just arrived, there must be a lot of things to arrange, and this official also specially prepared some silver taels for Brother Shangguan, Brother Shangguan can just use it!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand. A henchman standing behind him walked up to him with a tray in his hand. Wang Wei pulled off the cloth towel covering the tray, and there was a layer of silver ingots with white flowers inside, at least two or three hundred taels.
Seeing so much silver, the camp captains and girls present all had their eyes lit up, but Shangguan Xiu just glanced at it lightly, and said with a smile: "I appreciate Lord Wang's kindness, but the silver I carry on me is enough, please take back this silver!"
