Lindu Swallow Lane, known as the Golden Grotto, green buildings, gambling houses, tea shops, money houses and even underground commercial houses are crowded in this piece of streets and alleys.

Coming and going, there are not only the sons and daughters of famous families, but also the pawns of peddlers, splashing skins and gangsters, which is exactly the place where fish and dragons are mixed as Ye Chong said.

At this time, Ye Chong and Lu Shan were in the middle of this alley.

"It's not very lively to watch!" Lu Shan frowned while looking around, "That person didn't tell us just now, right?"

Ye Chong also felt a little surprised, because the surrounding environment was much more deserted than he imagined, but this was indeed the famous Swallow Lane, but those Qinglou gambling houses, the doors were full of birds, and there was no bustle and prosperity.

"We shouldn't be looking for the wrong place, but as for why it's so deserted, maybe it's for some other reason. Ye Chong thought for a while and said.

From the time he entered the city today, he felt strange, the vague words of the guards kept echoing in his mind, he took a deep breath, and decided that no matter whether he could find out the news of Liu San'er and Lu Yuanba today, he had to find out what the soldiers of the city defenders said before meant, and inquire about what happened to the country.

In his heart, he may not have the kind of family and country feelings that ordinary people have, after all, he came here with the soul of another world, but for him, every one of his qiē is singing in the court, and his acquaintance with friends, family and even his sweetheart is all there.

At this time, Lu Shan blinked his eyes and said, "There are so few people, I think it will be difficult for us to find out the news of the third uncle today, since we have come here, it is better to ...... Just go to the Qinglou and have a look? Really, just take a look, listen to music or something, and definitely don't do anything else!"

On the way here, Ye Chong had already explained to him in detail what kind of place the Qinglou was.

Lu Shan was very surprised at first, but when he came here, he still couldn't resist his curiosity, no matter what, it was the place he often imagined in the sword mound, and even regarded the Qinglou as the most beautiful place in the world in his heart.

This is all to blame for the group of torture hall people including Feng Qiu'er, who boasted in the sword shrine without red ears and red ears, leaving too many unrealistic fantasies for those children who had never seen the world.

Of course, Qinglou is indeed not only a flesh job, playing lyrics and singing songs, but also popular in this kind of place. There were also many literati and writers in the world, who regarded this place as a place of merry and leisure, and it was not uncommon to sell sour and rotten literary talents.

Ye Chong also didn't know much about this, but he had occasionally heard people mention it in the Divine General Academy in the past.

However, he did not refuse Lu Shan's suggestion.

"Okay, let's go to the Qinglou and sit down!" he sighed, as soon as he came, to satisfy the curiosity of the brother beside him. Second, it is that other places are too deserted, so deserted that there is no shadow of the Golden Grottoes in the entire Swallow Lane, and the Qinglou, no matter how deserted, there is still a group of warblers and bustards. This group of people has been dealing with the three sects and nine streams all day long, and they may be able to get a lot of information from their mouths.

In this way, Ye Chong and Lu Shan walked into the Yixiang Building, which was closest to them.

"Two sons, please!" the ** at the door immediately greeted enthusiastically.

Ye Chong casually took out a silver ingot and threw it over, "Reward you!"

The **'s eyes suddenly glowed, and he held the silver in his hand and checked it, it was five taels, and then immediately put it in his pocket, and said with a flattering smile at Ye Chong and Lu Shan: "Two sons, it's really time to come today, those princes and nobles just don't have time, our red-card girls in Yixianglou are still idle, do you want me to invite you?"

In his opinion, Ye Chong and Lu Shan were mediocre, and they should not be aristocratic sons, but as soon as they entered the door, they were rewarded with five taels of silver, and they must not be short of money. These rich but powerless young people don't dare to compete with Wang Gongzi on weekdays, but they also want to play the most popular people.

Ye Chong didn't answer him directly, but said lightly: "Why are the nobles of the palace not available, I have always heard that Swallow Lane is a gold cave, and the whole Lin Capital is the most lively here, but along the way, the rumors seem to be a bit exaggerated." ”

The ** immediately shook his head, "Childe, no wonder we look at your faces, you must not be from Lindu, and besides, you have just entered the city, right?"

"Hey!" Lu Shan, who was originally looking around, turned his head to look at the **, and said, "How do you know that we are foreigners, and we have just entered the city?"

"Childe, don't you know, the old owner of the Liu's Sword Village, the most famous kendo family in our Lindu, passed away yesterday, and as soon as his son comes back, he will immediately mourn, and the princes and nobles have gone to mourn the owner of the Liu Village, so naturally they don't have time to come to us. ”

"Liu's Sword Village?" Ye Chong remembered the funeral procession he saw when he glanced at the inn in a hurry, and then he suddenly understood, and he smiled and said: "Liu's Sword Village has a good relationship with the princes and nobles?

"It seems that Childe really doesn't know about this Liu Clan's Sword Village. Little tell you, Liu Lao Zhuang, that is our King Qi's sister-in-law, this time King Qi has personally inscribed the elegiac couplet, other princes and nobles, even if they have grievances with the Liu family, at this time, they have to follow the flow to express it. Speaking of this, ** could lower his voice and said: "Moreover, it is said that the old owner of Liu Zhuang was assassinated, and the king of Qi was furious, and he also asked people to track down the assassin, of course...... It's all rumor, and as for how much is true and how much is false, it's not clear what the small ones are. ”

In the past, I heard a lot of news, but there were not many opportunities to talk to others, at this time, Ye Chong asked casually, and he said everything he knew.

However, these things are worthless to Ye Chong.

He stretched out his hand and patted **'s shoulder, walked to the lobby and said, "In this way, the city gate is heavily guarded, and it is also because of the matter of the old owner Liu." ”

"It's not clear about this little one. ** shook his head, and then put on a smiling face, and said, "Two sons, are you going to eat and drink in this hall, or are you going to the box on the second floor?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that Ye Chong and them would not understand the rules, he added: "Let's here, if you order a popular person, even if you just eat wine and listen to music, you have to go to the box." ”

Before Ye Chong could speak, Lu Shan hurriedly said: "Of course I'm going to the box, the brothers are here to listen to the music today!"

"Okay!" the ** immediately led them to the stairs.

Ye Chong shook his head a little helplessly, and secretly calculated that the silver he had accumulated in Chaoge should be enough, so he followed.

Along the way, many gorgeously dressed women stood in the corridor, flattering at them and tasseling, sending a lot of autumn waves, and drooling in Lushan.

When he arrived at a private room and sat down, Ye Chong casually ordered some wine and food, and then retreated.

After a while, the old bustard of Yixianglou came to them.

"Two sons, do you want to invite those girls to accompany you? Our Yixianglou is the most famous in Swallow Lane, the girls are all beautiful and moving, lyrics and songs, etc., are also at your fingertips, as long as it is the Great Zhou Dynasty, what you want to hear, you can sing something. ”

"I'm tired, I don't know if there is a girl here who defends the country?" Ye Chong had already thought of a countermeasure, and said immediately.

"Defending the country?" The old bustard was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect someone to pick a girl in this way, but then the face that didn't know how much foundation had been smeared was like picking up gold, pointing at Ye Chong and saying: "Son, you really have a vision, our Yixianglou's top card, Concubine Lan is a woman who defends the country, and she is also from Song City, however, Concubine Lan only sings songs, but does not accept guests, if the two sons decide, I will go and call you." ”

"It's okay, we're here to listen to the music today. Ye Chong waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry to invite Miss Lan Fei'er to come over." ”

As soon as the old bustard went out, Lu Shan looked at Ye Chong puzzled and asked, "Why do you have to find a girl who defends the country?"

"Do you still know that you are afraid that the silver will not be enough?" Ye Chong smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if the silver is not enough, leaving you to be a cook for them, with the good dishes you cook, it will be enough to pay it off." ”

"Hey, don't say it, I think it's really a good errand to be a cook in the Qinglou!" Lu Shan immediately raised his head, "Then you can hear the girls singing without spending money every day!"

Ye Chong smiled, he didn't pay attention to this guy anymore, as for why he wanted to pick the woman who defended the country, it was naturally to facilitate him to inquire about the situation of the definite country.

He guessed that something must have happened to Weiguo, and although Concubine Lan was in Lindu, she should care more about her hometown than others, which was human nature. And since she is the top brand, the friends she makes on weekdays must be high-ranking officials and nobles, so it is naturally easier to find out the news from her.

Soon, the food and drinks were served.

Lu Shan grew so big, he had never drunk wine, and after trying to pour a sip, he was immediately shocked, holding the wine jar as if drinking water, and drank a few big sips.

By the time Concubine Lan came, this kid's face was already rosy.

Then, a woman in a pale pink dress, with a graceful body and a beautiful face, walked into the door of their box in a gust of fragrant wind.

Lu Shan's small squinted eyes unabashedly showed a stunning gaze at this moment, as if looking at this beauty was more intoxicating than drinking.

Ye Chong's eyes also flashed with a touch of amazement, the woman had a bewitching body, a curvy figure, and a pair of watery eyes, as if she was born with a fox, seducting people's souls.

"The little girl, Concubine Lan, has seen two sons. ”

The woman did not care at all about their expressions at the moment, and after a slight salute at the door, she turned and took a guqin from one of the attendants, and then closed the door of the box, and walked towards them with a light gait.
