More than ten days later, the capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty was Shoucheng, and the study of the King of Qi.

Although King Qi is only about thirty years old, he has been in a high position for a long time, and there is no shadow of a young man in his gestures.

At this moment, the king of Qi was sitting on the couch, his face was solemn, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.

"Brother Wang, there is no other way? I have failed him once, do I want to abandon him again? It was Jiang Baihua, the Marquis of Danqu, who spoke, and his pretty face like jade was a little angry.

King Qi said: "His identity is exposed, and he acts on his own, this person can't stay!" ”

Jiang Baihua hurriedly said: "Brother Wang?!" If so, who else will serve me in the future? ”

King Qi got up a few times and said, "You and I have to think about the overall situation and weigh the pros and cons!" Don't be emotional, and do bad things because of one person! If Nanban learns the news, he will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble! The border of Shu has only been stable for less than three years, do you want to start another war? The Northern Zhou Iron Cavalry has pacified the Xiqiang rebels, and the 200,000 troops are waiting outside the Jade Sword Pass! Do you think Mu Ziyu and Qin Zhanxiong can block the attacks of the Northern Zhou and the Southern Barbarians? ”

Jiang Baihua wanted to speak and stopped, but he had nothing to refute.

King Qi said: "Brother Wei has begun to erase him, but I don't know whether it will be successful or not. ”

"What?" Jiang Baihua exclaimed.

King Qi said: "Don't blame your brother for hiding it from you, with your friendship with him, if you let you know, I'm afraid that you will run to save people first." ”

Jiang Baihua said: "Xu Yihang was born and died for me, he is a rare talent, how can Brother Wang be so ruthless!" ”

King Qi said: "As an emperor, how can you be bound by lust?!" All right! Stand down! For my brother, I still have important things to discuss with Zhao Shilang! ”

Jiang Baihua wanted to say something more, but seeing that the King of Qi no longer paid attention to him, he could only turn around and leave angrily, and just pushed the door out but saw that Zhao Mao and Zhao Shilang stood outside the door.

Jiang Baihua glanced at Zhao Mao and said secretly: "Bastard! It must be you, the royal brother who is the courtier! ”

Although Zhao Mao was glanced at by Jiang Baihua, he was not rude, and bowed and saluted: "The subordinates have seen the Hou Ye." ”

Jiang Baihua didn't answer, and left angrily.

Zhao Shilang stepped into King Qi's study in small steps, and King Qi lowered his head to read the book, and asked without raising his head: "Is there any news?" ”

Zhao Shilang cautiously replied: "The matter is defeated, that Flying Sword Gate Huo Ying did not get rid of Xu Yihang. ”

Hearing this, the King of Qi slowly raised his head and said: "This matter can not be delayed any longer, Xu Yihang must be eliminated as soon as possible, and he cannot be caught by the Northern Zhou. ”

Zhao Mao replied: "Do you want to withdraw Xing Zongliang and Yu Siren's men and horses, and let Xu Yihang deal with the Iron Horse Gang alone, or recall them, urge them to take action against the Cao Gang, and continue to borrow the hands of outsiders to get rid of them." ”

King Qi pondered for a moment and said, "It's too obvious to withdraw Xing Zongliang and Yu Siren, forcing them to do something to the Cao Gang?" At that time, the Donghai Gang will definitely be involved, and the war between the two gangs will be unfavorable to the people's livelihood, and the Cao Gang will have to slow down. ”

Zhao Mao said: "In this case, does the king have a clever plan? ”

King Qi asked, "The Flying Sword Gate has been destroyed?" ”

Zhao Mao said: "A big fire turned into scorched earth, more than 100 people died, Huo Ying and more than ten disciples did not see anyone alive or dead. ”

King Qi said: "If Huo Ying is alive, he will definitely seek revenge on Xu Yihang, and you continue to send people to keep an eye on it." Lonely is a little tired, you can step aside. ”

。。。

The hinterland of the Central Plains, the important town of Daliang, the Four Seas Restaurant.

This Sihai Restaurant can be said to be the most dazzling building in Daliang City, the building is seven floors high, the construction is magnificent, the decoration is luxurious, and it covers an extremely wide area, there are three courtyards in the front, middle and back, the front is the restaurant, the middle is the garden, and the back is the residence of the restaurant and so on.

Sixty-eight tables can be placed in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, which surrounds the huge singing platform in the center of the lobby like a starry moon; From the second floor, the large cloister is supported by columns until the dome, and the guests in the upstairs private room do not delay in enjoying the graceful dance on the singing platform in the lobby while drinking and having fun; The fifth and sixth floors are guest rooms, and the idlers on the seventh floor stop and only entertain distinguished guests.

Sihai Restaurant is different from ordinary wine shops, the world knows that Sihailou is the industry of Tongbao Qianzhuang, mainly entertaining wealthy businessmen and gentry and Jianghu people, as long as the Jianghu guests from Tiannan and Haibei come to the Central Plains, they will come to this Sihailou for a trip, in addition to getting acquainted with all the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but also to see the face of the Sihailou Oiran Liying, and there are more scholars who live in Sihailou for many years, and a lot of silver is sprinkled, just for Bojia people to smile.

Walking the rivers and lakes, if you have never been to Sihailou, you will definitely be laughed at.

It was nearly evening, the four sea buildings were already hung with colorful lights, the lights were bright, and the lobby on the first floor was even more bustling and noisy, and at a glance there were all martial arts people dressed in rivers and lakes.

Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong picked a table by the window in the corner and sat down.

Xu Yihang has never liked this chaotic environment, and he didn't want to come to this Sihailou, but he couldn't resist Zhou Zhong to come, and he was sipping tea in a cup with his face pulled at the moment.

Zhou Zhong was very interested, and said: "I heard the old man Gongsun brag about this Sihai Tower before, and today I can see with my own eyes that it really deserves its reputation, and it is not in vain for you and me to have a lot of hard work." Look, these maids are all beautiful, and the Oiran who has not yet appeared is still from the warbler? ”

Xu Yihang glanced at Zhou Zhong and sneered: "Greedy for money and lustful!" Why did I spare your life back then? ”

Zhou Zhong said proudly: "Naturally, it is because of Lao Zhou's majestic appearance and heroic spirit, which is a rare talent!" ”

Xu Yihang glanced at Zhou Zhong again, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he only drank tea by himself.

Zhou Zhong said: "Alas, how many eyes have you taken in the past two years? Lao Zhou, I'm worried about you, if you continue like this, sooner or later, your mouth will be crooked, you say that you are a good young man, what a pity then. ”

Xu Yihang replied without raising his head: "Get out." ”

While the two were talking, they saw two ribbons falling from the upper floor to the stage in the lobby, and the four maids on the stage caught a ribbon in pairs and stood in the center of the platform with their arms.

"Away from the warbler~".

Seeing this, all the Jianghu guests got up and shouted.

With the shouts of the crowd, a woman floated down from the air with a ribbon on her bare feet and landed lightly on the stage.

Xu Yihang looked up, and when the ribbon was folded to reveal the woman's figure, he saw the woman's appearance clearly, although it was a black gauze to cover her face, but the phoenix eyes were sultry, and her black hair was only tied in a bun with double bamboo chopsticks, and the black and shiny hair on her temples were scattered at will.

Xu Yihang said to himself: "Scratching your head and making a gesture, it's nothing more than that." ”

At this time, the restaurant began to give the table wine and food, the rules of the four sea buildings, a table of ten taels of silver, what kind of wine and food to serve is all decided by the restaurant, if you want to add food and wine, each dish and each pot of wine must pay another ten taels of silver, even this kind of tricking customers can not stop the heroes of the rivers and lakes yearning for this place.

Xu Yihang picked up the small wine jug and added a glass to himself, and went to pour wine for Zhou Zhong, but saw Zhou Zhong staring at the song platform with bright eyes.

Xu Yihang said disdainfully: "Majestic? Heroic dry clouds? Just one woman makes Zhou Daxia so gaffe? ”

Zhou Zhong muttered: "The three thousand taels of silver tickets in the yellow chaos are finally useful. ”

Xu Yihang looked at Zhou Zhong with wide eyes and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhou Zhong stared at Getai and said intently: "Pomeranians smiled. ”

Xu Yihang slapped the wine glass in his hand on the table and said, "It's really a dog that can't change eating." ”

Although the sound of Xu Yihang smashing the cup was crisp, it should be inaudible in this noisy lobby, but the warbler who was far away on the stage followed the sound, and the phoenix eyes glared at Xu Yihang.

Zhou Zhong thought that the beautiful woman on the stage looked at him, and his heart suddenly burst into joy, no matter how cold and provocative his eyes were.

Zhou Zhong turned his head to Xu Yihang and said, "See?" Lao Zhou, my heroism? ”

Xu Yihang said: "I didn't see it." ”

Zhou Zhong replied: "Among the hundreds of people in this lobby, why did Miss Liying only flatter me? ”

Xu Yihang was too lazy to continue arguing with Zhou Zhong, and said secretly: "This woman is really not simple, I just patted the wine glass, and she heard it clearly." ”

Liying only danced on the stage and then Shi Shiran left, leaving only a few maids to play the piano and sing songs.

Xu Yihang said: "This is what you are waiting for?" ”

Zhou Zhong said: "Alas, you are really lonely, this is just the opening scene, when the wine is too drunk, the girl will show up again, and then it will be the main event." ”

Xu Yihang was puzzled: "Aren't you still singing a song and dancing?" ”

Zhou Zhong said: "The restaurant will auction an object every day, or a piece of porcelain, or a sharp sword, or a secret weapon, the highest price will get, whoever wins this object, who can go to the seventh floor and cook wine with the girl from the Ying, but it's a pity, you can only get along with the girl from the Ying for half an hour." ”

Xu Yihang asked: "Cooking wine? ”

Zhou Zhong replied: "Miss Liying is not only good at singing and dancing, but also quite knowledgeable, far from being comparable to ordinary women, what are you asking you to do on the seventh floor?" There are some indiscriminate things in my head, and I am still young and handsome. ”

Xu Yihang looked at Zhou Zhong with a puzzled expression, is this still the Wuling bully Han Xiang who bullies men and women, is greedy for money and lustful?

Xu Yihang looked around at the crowd of Jianghu guests in this lobby, almost all of them looked arrogant and lascivious, drunk and dreaming of death, how could there be a little chivalrous demeanor.

Xu Yihang glanced at Zhou Zhong beside him, who was also a virtuous person.

Xu Yihang sighed and said, "Old Zhou, I have been troubled by one thing in the past few days. ”

Zhou Zhong replied absentmindedly: "Brother Xu has something to say, what is polite between you and me." ”

Xu Yihang said: "When I fought with that Huo Ying, Huo Ying once mentioned the word Zhenyuan, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Zhou Zhong replied casually: "Zhenyuan? What's that? ”

Xu Yihang: "... ”

Unconsciously, the wine and food on the table were already leftovers, and the guests in the restaurant had already been a little drunk, at this time a short and fat man in gorgeous clothes on the stage struck a gong and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, tonight's auction is a calligraphy and painting, from the hands of the girl from the Ying, the reserve price is one hundred taels, and the minimum price increase is ten taels each time. ”

As soon as the short and fat man's voice fell, everyone immediately shouted with joy, the ink treasure of the girl from the Ying Ying is the first time in this Sihailou, the talents of the rivers and lakes, the rich businessman's eyes are shining one by one, how can he give such an opportunity to show to others? Everyone was already counting the silver tickets, but they hated that there was too little money on them.
