As night fell, Qi Xuansu, led by Song San and Wu Si, came to a brothel in Beicheng.

This is also the most upscale brothel in Beicheng, although it is still a lot worse than the courtyard without cloth clothes, but it is not something that ordinary people can come, and most of the people who can come here are some foreign businessmen, low-level officials, and high-rollers, and their status is not necessarily very high, but there must be no shortage of Taiping money.

As for the Taoist priests, they don't dare to come to this kind of place blatantly, and even if they want to come, they have to disguise themselves.

This is also carefully selected by Song San and Wu Si, in their minds, everything seeks a "stable" word, this academy has the background of the Teaching Workshop Division, it is relatively formal, it is best not to cause any incidents, so that this Taoist master is satisfied.

At night, the red lantern shines on the plaque of "Spring Breeze Building".

Song San introduced Qi Xuansu to him: "Master, the names of the first and second class houses are mostly 'courtyard', 'pavilion', 'pavilion', and 'garden', and the third and fourth class brothels are mostly named after 'room', 'class', 'building', 'shop', and 'lower place'. This Chunfeng Building is the third class. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Don't call me a mage, you can call me Lao Wei, if someone asks, just say that I am a new 100 households from the 7,000th household of the pro-military governor's mansion, and I just came to the imperial capital from the Liangzhou Thousand Households, and I am not familiar with the place, so you two brought me to see the world, remember?" ”

Song San was stunned and hurriedly responded.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, the bustard mother had already greeted them.

Qingluanwei in the Imperial Capital City has a characteristic, although he does the errand of a small soldier, and there are few subordinates, but the grades are very high, such as Song San and Wu Si, who have the official position of trying a hundred households, but they are not a school captain or a wrestler, which should be placed in the local government and county, and they are already the second-in-command of a hundred households in one place, not to mention the command of dozens of people.

With the identity of these two people, it is naturally nothing to be placed in the first- and second-class courtyards, but they can be placed in the third-class courtyards, even if they are distinguished guests, the bustard's mother naturally has to be careful to receive them.

After Song San laughed a few words familiarly, he said: "Find two Qingqi people, bring some wine and melons and fruits, half of rice wine and half of red wine, no liquor, it's still the old rule, keep it in the account." ”

The bustard mother smiled in response. Very few people drink baijiu in brothels, just because baijiu is intoxicating, and if you get drunk, it is considered for nothing.

Under the personal guidance of the bustard's mother, the three of them came to a separate private room, which was not elegant and a little gaudy. In fact, this has nothing to do with the taste of the brothel itself, mainly to cater to the taste of the guests, for example, the guests received by the first and second class houses are all people with heads and faces, and there is no shortage of literati and scholars. And the third- and fourth-class brothels did not receive many readers, and if they did the same, they would be disliked.

Soon, two Qingqi people came to this place under the leadership of the bustard's mother, one holding the pipa in his arms, and the other was responsible for singing, and the text was weak.

After saying a few auspicious words, the bustard mother withdrew.

Qi Xuansu looked up and down at the two Qingsu, not like a man's gaze on a woman, but like a quick servant's gaze at a potential prisoner, this is how Song San and Wu Si looked at Qi Xuansu before.

Zhang Yuelu said that Qi Xuansu is murderous, although Qi Xuansu is always easy to talk and harmless in front of Qi Niang and Zhang Yuelu, but fundamentally speaking, Qi Xuansu is not a good person, let alone a person who pities fragrance and jade. After all, he almost collapsed Li Qingnu when he met Li Qingnu for the first time, threw Yue Liuli into the Lock Demon Tower Cave Heaven, and directly gave Yao Pei a bang, and even went all out when he faced Zhang Yuelu as Wei Wugui. No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the words "cherish the fragrance and pity the jade", and it is almost the same as destroying flowers with spicy hands.

This is also a kind of non-discrimination. As long as it's an opponent, it doesn't matter what kind of man or woman. Some men don't eat the big cake painted by their boss, they know it's fake, but a few sweet words from the woman are taken seriously, and in the end, they are empty, maybe they are white with a colored hat. To put it bluntly, these men did not treat women on an equal footing, or they still uphold the idea that men are stronger than women, so they are careless and careless, how can they not be defeated?

But Qi Xuansu suffered a big loss in the hands of Yue Liuli when he was a teenager, and later met Qi Niang, who was taught by Qi Niang's words and deeds, and then came into contact with Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others, all of whom were extremely capable women, which made Qi Xuansu rarely have this kind of mentality that a man must be humble to a woman as a strong man. If there is equality, why be humble? If it is humble, how can it be equal? If it's an opponent, then why keep your hands? Therefore, even if he is facing Zhang Yuelu, there is no idea that he can't make a move against Zhang Yuelu, or he doesn't fight, since he fights, he will rely on his ability.

Qi Xuansu is destined to have no woman's popularity, and he is destined to be an outlier in the eyes of many people, and even some people will think that his morality is flawed, and he does not have the gentlemanly demeanor that Westerners admire, but it is precisely because of these reasons that he attracted Zhang Yuelu, who is also a stranger.

At this point, Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu's attitude is the same, she thinks that this kind of humility between the strong and the weak is no different from the rich giving beggars, and if you can't win it with your own ability, you just rely on morality to beg? She is no worse than others, others can do it, she can do it, why bother with her?

So the two people with very different identities and backgrounds are surprisingly suitable.

Qi Xuansu's attitude made the two women suddenly nervous, a little overwhelmed. In such places, I am accustomed to seeing people who are anxious, and I am also accustomed to seeing rough people, and even a few people who are fake and serious, real scriptures, and women disguised as men, but I have never seen this kind of person.

If you're not interested in women, why are you running a brothel?

Qi Xuansu also realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, so he retracted his gaze, adjusted slightly, and tried to be gentle: "Two girls, please sit, don't be restrained, don't be nervous." ”

The two Qingqi people looked at each other and sat down timidly.

Qi Xuansu cleared his throat and asked, "What are the names of the two girls?" ”

"Back to the guest officer, little girl Qingmei."

"Little girl Xuemei."

Of course, this is not a real name, but a flower name in this industry, after all, this industry should eat youth rice, in the future, women will be old and decrepit, and they will marry after being good, if they use their real names, it is difficult to say whether they can find honest people, especially the red people who sell their bodies, it is one thing to be a concubine, and it is another thing to be a wife, I am afraid that few men are willing to be living kings.

"How long have you been in the industry?"

"If you go back to the guest officer, the little girl has been in the industry for three years." Qingmei replied generously.

"The little girl has been in the industry for two years." Xuemei's voice was much quieter.

Qi Xuansu joked: "Don't hide it from the two girls, it's the first time I've come to Dijing, Tubaozi has entered the city, and the countrymen have entered Beijing, before I came to Dijing, I heard people say that the more the Son of Heaven is at his feet, the more strict the law is. I asked a little more, do the two girls have any paperwork? ”

Xuemei covered her mouth and chuckled: "This guest officer really likes to tell jokes, only the kind of 'half-closed door' that can't see the light has no documents, and those like us who open the door seriously to do business have documents." And the documents of the Qing people and the red people are not the same, the documents of the red people are more difficult to approve, the red people can sell their arts, they can also sell their bodies, and the Qing people can only sell their arts, if they use the documents of the Qing people to sell their bodies, it will not work. ”

"That's fine." Qi Xuansu nodded, and asked seemingly casually, "By the way, is there a lot of business in this 'half-closed door' you are talking about?" ”

"The guest officer forgives the sin, about these, we don't go out much, so we don't know much." Xuemei is simpler, but Qingmei is much more mature, and she took the initiative to answer before Xuemei.

Qi Xuansu didn't ask any more, and motioned for the two women to be able to perform.

Song San flatteringly poured Qi Xuansu a glass of rice wine.

Qi Xuansu took the rice wine and did not forget to thank him, which flattered Song San.

Qi Xuansu was holding the rice wine, a little absent-minded, and when the song was finished, Qi Xuansu suddenly asked, "Why did you two enter the industry?" ”

Xuemei suddenly showed embarrassment, and Qingmei changed slightly: "Guest officer, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Qi Xuansu glanced at Song San: "What rules?" ”

Song Sangan laughed: "Naturally, it is an unwritten rule. ”

Qi Xuansu smiled: "Okay, since it's a rule, then I won't ask." ”

Then Qi Xuansu instructed again: "The two girls are also tired, take a rest on the side, and find two more red people to come over." ”

Wu Si hurriedly got up.

After a while, two more coolly dressed women walked in, draped in a light veil, revealing white and shiny shoulders, and without even commanding, they took the initiative to snuggle up to Qi Xuansu - those who did this line of work had extremely poisonous eyesight, and they could see at a glance that Qi Xuansu was the person with the highest status.

However, Qi Xuansu gave in and motioned to the two women to find Song San and Wu Si.

Qi Xuansu is not cold and unscrupulous in this regard, but the other extreme, not to mention that his identity is sensitive, it is not good to leave a handle in this regard, even if he does not have this concern, he does not want to touch these women.

Song San and Wu Si had no scruples, one holding the other, because the light in the room was dim, it didn't hurt to go up and down directly, but it would contribute to the ambiguous atmosphere.

However, in Qi Xuansu's opinion, this atmosphere, coupled with the influence of wine, is actually very suitable for sleeping.

Qi Xuansu's gaze became dark, and he began to slowly urge the mana, gradually enveloping the entire room.

This is the dream of Fang Shi's dreaming realm. The biggest difference between supernatural and supernatural powers is that supernatural does not need additional cultivation exercises, and after reaching the realm, it can be mastered naturally, similar to the flesh and blood derivation of martial arts.

It stands to reason that Song San and Wu Si are both innate people and should be alert, but in their opinion, this Daomen mage is either a qi refiner or a martial artist, otherwise it is impossible to have such a strong physique.

After all the people entered a half-asleep state, Qi Xuansu put down the rice wine in his hand and began to repeat the question he had just asked.

This time, whether it was the old Qingmei or the two red people who had just come in, they didn't hide it in the slightest, as if they were talking in a dream, and answered truthfully one by one.
