The next day, Xiahou Ba and the three of them went to Zhang Fei's mansion, and after seeing the ceremony and going to the banquet, they said that they wanted to go out for a stroll, and Zhang Fei sent his family as a guide to take care of him.

After going out, the three of them parted ways, Xiahou Nan went to the north gate, along the way to see the happy faces of the people in the streets and alleys, everywhere was the sound of selling, and did not see the soldiers patrolling, occasionally only passing by the yacha.

"This Xiangyang Anle is no less than Xuchang!" Xiahou sighed secretly in his heart.

Cao Cao has been operating Xuchang for many years, and it is the imperial capital, so there is today's prosperity, and it is said that Liu Biao is a guard, but the territory is pleased, loves the people, and Jingzhou is rich, and it really deserves its name.

Along the way, there are many teahouses and restaurants, smelling bursts of fragrance, Xiahou Nan's index finger moved, if it wasn't for the full food and drink in Zhang Fei's mansion just now, he would have already turned into the restaurant at this time.

When I came to the north city gate, I saw that there were only the defenders of the city guarding it, and there were only fifty soldiers standing guard at the city gate, and the rest of the troops were not visible, and the people walked calmly and did not interfere with each other.

Xiahou Nan was bored, looked up and saw that the sun was already slanting westward, opened his mouth and yawned, and suddenly asked the entourage: "Are there any prostitutes in Xiangyang City?"

The guide comprehended and said with a low smile: "Xiangyang is the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River, bringing together the world's elegant people, how can there be no brothel in Qinglou?" Not only are Jiangnan women pretty and soft, but also foreigners from South Vietnam are more sought after, I wonder if the son has ever heard of 'Black Pearl'? ”

"Black Pearl?" Xiahou Nanzheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Pearls are most common in white, purple, and gold, but is there also black?" ”

The man smiled and said: "This black pearl is a person from Qinglou, from South Vietnam, body poison and other places, the skin is black and bright, and the aura is moving, it is really ......."

"Needless to say, take me to see Black Pearl!" Xiahou Nan took out a thumb-sized pearl in his hand, "I will reward you with a white pearl." ”

The man took Xiahou Nan through the streets and alleys, and came to a street in the northwest, where he saw a three-story building in the distance that was very eye-catching, hanging colorful lanterns, and decorated with flags that he had never seen before, and it was written: Between the water and clouds.

Entering the building, carved beams and paintings, dazzling, although smelling the aroma of wine, but all the tables and chairs are diners, there is not a single woman, and there is no smell of fat powder.

When he was observing, the shopkeeper had already greeted him, and seeing that Xiahou Nan was dressed extraordinarily, he bowed down and asked, "Does this son want to be sharpened or live in the store?" ”

Xiahou Nan said unhappily: "This is the Qinglou? ”

Xiao Er understood and pointed to the direction of the corridor: "Childe doesn't know, there is a backyard in this workshop, which is specially designed to entertain elegant guests, but only Childe can bring one entourage to enter, and the rest must stay outside." ”

Xiahou Nan was suddenly full of anticipation, waved his hand and said: "Go to the back court, wait here, and all the food and drink will be recorded in the account of this son." ”

The entourage was overjoyed, thanked Xiahou Nan, and found a seat to rest, while Xiahou Nan took his cronies and walked to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Turning the corridor, in the shade of a bamboo forest, I vaguely heard the sound of women laughing, mixed with the sound of the piano and bamboo, and the atmosphere changed.

Xiahou Nan quickened his pace, passed through the bamboo forest, but saw another two-story compound, with a pool robe in the middle, and several women playing the piano and singing and dancing on the water pavilion.

When he arrived at the door, two women greeted him, grabbed Xiahou Nan's arm left and right, took him to the hall, and served him tea.

Xiahou Nan's heart was itching, and he asked at his hand: "I heard that there is a black pearl here, and I called to accompany my son." ”

The woman's smile suddenly stiffened, and she hurried to report the news, and soon the old bustard came and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate that the son came, the black pearl was just bought by Zhang Gongzi this morning, and he has stopped accepting customers." ”

"What?" Xiahou Nan was furious and took the case: "How much money he gives you, this son will pay double!" ”

The old bustard was puzzled: "This ...... The contract documents have long been delivered, and there is nothing the old body can do. ”

Xiahou Nan was on the rise, where was he willing to give up, and shouted: "I call him Zhang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi, and those who dare to rob this son, quickly call him to see me." ”

The old bustard looked Xiahou Nan up and down: "This son is a little eye-catching, and his accent is not from Jingzhou, I don't know how to call it?" ”

Xiahou Nan snorted slightly, and said proudly: "Father Xiahou Xuan!" ”

"Alas, it turned out to be General Zhang's uncle!" The old bustard was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly pulled Xiahou Nan to sit down: "Gongzi and his entourage went to Xiangyang yesterday, but it caused a sensation in the whole city. ”

Xiahou Nan shook off the old bustard's hand: "My son only needs black pearls." ”

"This ...... Xiahou Gongzi," the old bustard was embarrassed: "The contract document has been decided, even if the prince pays double the price, we will not dare to return, the law of Jingzhou is extremely strict, no matter who it is, it will be difficult to escape punishment." ”

Xiahou Nan saw that the hour was not early, he was anxious and angry, threw the tea bowl on the ground, and shouted: "What law stipulates that there is no black pearl to accompany you today, believe it or not, this son called my brother-in-law to come and smash your restaurant?" ”

The old bustard was at a loss, and suddenly a lazy voice came from above his head, and he said impatiently: "Mother Wang, who is making noise here and disturbing my rest?" ”

The old bustard hurriedly apologized: "Zhang Gongzi, it's really wrong......"

"You're the one who robbed me?" When Xiahou Nan heard that this person's surname was Zhang, he pointed upstairs and shouted, "Boy, do you dare to come down and speak?" ”

The man was sleepy-eyed, disheveled, pouted and smiled faintly, walked down the stairs lazily, and squinted at Xiahou Nan: "What advice does this son have?" ”

Xiahou Nan said in a deep voice: "Hand over the black pearl, and this son will give you double the money." ”

The man pouted and smiled: "Lao Tzu has redeemed herself for the black pearl, she has been good, not comparable to money, please find someone else!" ”

Xiahou Nan was furious, took two steps forward and pointed at the man and shouted: "Kid Hugh is going to be rampant, believe it or not, I skinned you alive?" ”

"Want to fight?" The man crossed his waist and tilted his head to look at Xiahou Nan: "Believe it or not, I asked two hundred brothers to hack you to death?" ”

"The two sons are angry!" The old bustard hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him to fight, and whispered a few words in the man's ear.

The disdain at the corner of the man's mouth suddenly turned into surprise, he looked at Xiahou Nan again, hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Xiahou Gongzi, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

"Hmph, do you know you're scared?" Xiahou Nan raised his chin arrogantly, "Don't you hand over the people yet?" ”

Zhang Gongzi nodded hurriedly and said: "This is natural, as long as the son is willing, the original price will be returned, but there are still contract documents upstairs, and the tired son will go upstairs to deliver it." ”

Xiahou Mao looked around proudly, nodded slightly, and said, "Lead the way in front of the head." ”

The two went upstairs to the side room, only to see a banquet on the table, cups and plates, and the smell of wine, but there was no woman in the room.

Xiahou Nan was puzzled, but when he saw Zhang Gongzi closing the door, he suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "Please avenge me!" ”

Xiahou Nan was so shocked that he took two steps back, and said puzzledly: "What do you have grudges against, and what do you have to do with this son?" ”
