Chapter Twenty-Six: Nine Songs of Copper Stink

The four kingdoms are divided into the east wind country, the south flower country, the west snow country, and the north moon country, with the east as the first, followed by the other three countries. Dongfeng country is not only strong, but also the court is stable, although the first emperor has been sacrificed on the battlefield more than ten years ago, but he also has a son, but this son has been sick since the first emperor died, and has never appeared in the court, but this does not affect the east wind country is still the most powerful existence among the four countries.

Dongfeng has ten cities, Tianxuan City, Jiuge City, Zhixi City, Lancheng, Fengze City, Yancheng, Haicheng, Qingshan City, Baisi City and Wine City.

Among them, Tianxuan City, the first city in the world, is the imperial capital, the national capital, the place where the Son of Heaven is located, and the first of the ten cities, and the most prosperous city among the ten cities. The geographical location is excellent, the imperial city is huge, magnificent and solemn, even the city wall is made of stones that are more hard than diamond rock, incomparably majestic, enter the imperial palace of Tianxuan City, give people a strong sense of oppression, the palace is solemn and magnificent, tall and majestic, resplendent and brilliant, carved beams and paintings, luxury and wealth, self-evident, give people the shock of the soul.

Nine Song City, second only to Tianxuan City, is the second largest city among the ten cities in the Dongfeng Kingdom, not only has a superior geographical location and abundant materials, but also is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When Song Jiyun and his entourage entered the city, they were dazzled by the prosperous and happy scene in the city, and the ordinary people were dressed better than other rich merchants in the city, so you can imagine how rich this city is!

Song Jiyun: "Let's find an inn to settle down in." ”

Momo began to worry about his purse, it is so prosperous here, the price is definitely not cheap, and the silver in this purse does not know how long it can last.

Momo: Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Song Jiyun: "You guys go upstairs first, I'll take him to the ready-to-wear store to buy two suitable clothes." ”

Lin Yue'er: "Okay." ”

Momo: "Wait a minute, I'll go with you!" ”

Red Feather: "I didn't expect them to be quite attentive to this child!" ”

Lin Yue'er: "Let's go up." ”

Hong Yu followed Lin Yue'er upstairs, Song Jiyun, Momo and the child went to the ready-to-wear shop.

Song Jiyun: "Boss, please pick two clothes and shoes that are suitable for this child." ”

Boss: "Okay, wait a minute. ”

Momo: "We don't have much silver taels, so let's save some flowers." "The voice is quiet.

Song Jiyun: "Well, I know. ”

Momo: Alas, I am so concerned about a child who was picked up halfway, I don't know if it's good or bad.

Chuan Xingyi passed by the street, Momo and him looked at each other, and then Chuan Xingyi disappeared.

The boss came out with the child who had just been dressed: "Here it is, look at it, how is this?" ”

Song Jiyun saw that the child in front of him was dressed up okay, not as sloppy as before, and sure enough, people relied on clothes and horses to rely on saddles.

Song Jiyun: "Well, it's really okay, how much does the boss's clothes cost?" ”

The boss smiled: "This dress is made of high-quality Shu brocade, not expensive, fifty taels." ”

Song Jiyun: "Fifty taels?!" ”

I really didn't expect it to be so expensive!

Song Jiyun: "Uh......"

Momo stepped forward: "Boss, we can't afford such an expensive one, just two sets of ordinary ones." ”

Boss: "Understood. ”

The boss took the child to the back, Momo put his hand on Song Jiyun's shoulder and patted it: "It's okay, I've experienced this kind of thing a lot, and it's the first time for you, and you'll know how to speak next time." ”

Song Jiyun was embarrassed: "Hmm." ”

The three of them went back to the inn after buying the clothes, although they rejected the good Shu brocade, but the two sets of clothes they bought in the end were not cheap, such clothes were put in other cities, how could they take a tael of silver, but in this Nine Song City, it was fully doubled, which was really embarrassing.

Mo Mo complained: "Alas, the prices in this Nine Song City are really not ordinarily high, they are twice as high as those in other cities!" ”

Song Jiyun: "Fortunately, we are just passing by here, and we won't stay for long." ”

Lin Yue'er: "I really didn't expect it." ”

Red Feather: "This Nine Song City is indeed a big city, not only expensive but also elegant. ”

Song Jiyun: "Why? ”

Hong Yu smiled, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea: "You are the first time to come to this Nine Song City, naturally I don't know, you only heard about the difference between this Nine Song City and other Nine Cities before, but you don't know that this Nine Song City was not originally full of copper smell." ”

Momo: "Oh? ”

Red Feather continued: "It is said that a few decades ago, this was just an ordinary city like the other eight cities, and there were not many merchants coming and going, until eleven years ago, a man came here, and I heard that this person had only been here for three years, and the whole city changed greatly, and there were no displaced people in the city, and there were no people begging along the streets, and all the people in the city admired and admired him. ”

Lin Yue'er: "What did he do to make this city a top luxury in three years?" ”

Red Feather: "I don't know, I've just heard about it." ”

Momo: "Hearsay. ”

Song Jiyun: "I don't think it's fake, some things don't happen out of thin air, someone must be behind it, and it's the same with this matter." Since there is such a legend, this person must be very difficult. ”

Red Feather smiled: "You're right, this person is indeed extraordinary." ”

Song Jiyun: "Oh? ”

Red Feather: "This man was deposed here. ”

Lin Yue'er: "Degraded? ”

Red Feather: "That's right. ”

Momo: "Eleven years ago, if you were deposed, there was only ......"

Song Jiyun: "Emperor Qingping's younger brother, Marquis Yong'an." ”

Red Feather: "That's right, it's him. ”

Lin Yue'er: "He was actually relegated to this place?" ”

Red Feather: "Fengqing Ping Emperor's edict, Yong'an Hou was demoted here, eternal life is not allowed to go out of the city, if there is a protest order, there is no forgiveness!" ”

Mo Mo: "What kind of crime did this Yong'an Marquis commit, that Emperor Qingping actually made such a will?" ”

Lin Yue'er: "It should be a matter of not sin to death, otherwise it would not be as simple as debasement." ”

Song Jiyun: Marquis Yong'an, Emperor Qingping, compatriot brother?

Lin Yue'er saw that Song Jiyun's mood was a little wrong: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Song Jiyun didn't react, and Lin Yue'er called him again: "Ah Ji? ”

Song Jiyun: "I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry, so I'm distracted." ”

Lin Yue'er: "Then let's go downstairs for dinner." ”

Hong Yu was the last to walk out, she obviously saw that Song Jiyun was wrong, but she didn't know what it was, but she was sure that Song Jiyun must know something.

Momo: What the hell was he thinking? Distracted?

You must know that Song Jiyun has the highest concentration and martial arts here, and there are not many things that can affect him, so what's wrong with him?

Even Hongyu and Momo can find it, Lin Yue'er can't be unaware, but she won't ask Song Jiyun, and when he is willing to say it, she will naturally say it, and then she will naturally know.

Behind the Nine Songs City is Yong'an Hou, although he was degraded, but the title was not deprived, the meaning of which is naturally understood by those who have a heart.

When night fell, Chuan Xingyi came to the woods to wait for ink.

Momo excused himself to go to the toilet and came out: "What's the matter?" ”

Chuan Xing saluted: "Son, someone from the family has come to look for you." ”

Mo Mo snorted coldly: "Hmph! Looking for me? Not to spy on me yet? ”

Yuichi Chuan: "So what should we do next?" ”

Momo: "I've been acting for so many years, and it's not bad these days, I acted according to the original plan." ”

Yuichi Chuan: "Yes! ”

In the most elegant small courtyard in the Nine Song City, there lived an unknown person.

The man in black clothes had a brown sword pinned to his waist: "Master Hou." ”

Yong'an Hou: "Cuizhu, how many times have you said it, don't call me Master Hou." ”

Cuizhu: "Yes, sir. ”

Yong'an Hou: "What's wrong?" ”

Cuizhu: "There are a few outsiders in the city today. ”

Yong'an Hou: "Isn't there a lot of outsiders coming and going in this city every day?" You're going to tell me about that, too? ”

Cuizhu: "These people didn't settle down at the inn until night, so the portrait came out a little late, and the master asked me to show it to you." ”

Yong'an Hou: "Oh? Luo Xingzhu asked you to send it to me? ”

Cuizhu: "Yes." ”

Yong'an Hou: "What kind of medicine is this old guy selling in his gourd?" ”

Cuizhu presented the portrait, and Yong'an Hou opened it: "This girl looks really good, she can be described as beautiful as a fairy." Wait a minute, Luo Xingzhu won't be stuffing me with a woman again, right? ”

Cuizhu: "Cuizhu doesn't know. ”

Yong'an Hou opened one again: "This, it's almost like the one just now, but it looks okay, it's more beautiful than the ordinary one." ”

Cuizhu: "......"

Yong'an Hou opened one again: "This, is it a man?" Your master can't be crazy, right? ”

Cuizhu: "......"

Yong'an Hou: "However, it does look good, and it feels a bit exotic. ”

Cuizhu: "......"

Yong'an Hou was about to open the last one, and when he saw the last portrait, his eyes widened for a moment and he stood up.

Such a reaction startled Cuizhu who was standing next to him: "Sir? What's wrong with you? ”

Yong'an Hou looked at the portrait and muttered: "Like, it's too similar!" ”

Cuizhu looked puzzled: "Sir, what did you say?" ”

Yong'an Hou remembered his elder brother, that is, the first emperor, Emperor Qingping, when he was demoted from Tianxuan City, and he didn't even see him for the last time, and he regretted it in his heart, because soon after that, Emperor Qingping took his son who was only six years old on an expedition to the border, and two years later, Emperor Qingping died on the battlefield, and later, Emperor Qingping's son ascended the throne and was called Emperor Dezheng.

Yong'anhou: It's just, why is he here? Or does it just look alike? Luo Xingzhu let me see this portrait, what is the purpose?

Chuan Xingyi: "By the way, Son, are you not much entangled, do you want your subordinates to go to the city money village tomorrow to get you some more?" ”

Momo: "No need, they already know that there is not much silver left, it's time to figure it out for themselves, otherwise if this continues, I will show a flaw sooner or later." ”

Kawayuichi: "Understood. ”

Mo Mo returned to the room and saw that there was not much space left on the bed, and he couldn't help but sigh bitterly. But there is no way, after all, there is really not much money, and three people are crammed into one bed, which can be regarded as saving money.

Song Jiyun: "You're back?" ”

Momo: "Well, make some space for me." ”

Song Jiyun: "Who made you so slow." ”

Momo: "It's not good to go on like this, we can't leave tomorrow." ”

Song Jiyun: "You want to earn some money on the road in this place, right?" ”

Momo: "That's right. ”

The next day, when several people were having breakfast, they were discussing how to make money.

Lin Yue'er: "Are we going to the street to have a big stone on my chest?" ”

Mo Mo smiled: "That's not necessary, but how to make money, we have to discuss it carefully." ”

Red Feather: "It's easy to make money. ”

Song Jiyun: "Do you have an idea?" ”

Red Feather: "Isn't that the place where the money comes from the Nine Song City the fastest?" ”

Song Jiyun: "This is what you are talking about?" ”

Several people stood outside the Nine Songs Terrace.

Red Feather: "You don't know, this Jiugetai is the largest casino in Jiuge City, how many high-rollers spend thousands of dollars here, without blinking their eyes, if you don't go here, where else can you go?" ”

Song Jiyun: "But, we won't." ”

Red Feather: "This, in fact, is very simple. ”

Lin Yue'er, Song Jiyun, and Momo looked at Red Feather: "......"

Red Feather: "After a while, let's go in, everyone is divided into two groups, don't be in a hurry to bet first, all we have to do is observe." ”

Song Jiyun: "Observation? ”

Red Feather: "That's right, alas, now that I've said it, you don't understand, let's go in, you'll know when you go in." ”

The three of them followed behind Red Feather's ass and entered the Nine Song Stage.

Red Feather: "Jiugetai, the largest casino in Jiuge City, is also the second largest gold cave after the Tianbao Tower in Tianxuan City. There are four floors in total, with three floors above the ground and one floor underground. The underground layer is a place for ordinary people to gamble, although they don't gamble much, but they can't stop their itchy hands, so this layer is the most crowded layer every day, and it is also the most noisy layer.

The ground floor is a place where the owners of small shops who are richer than ordinary people make bets, and these people have a bigger stake than the first floor, but not as good as the second floor, and the second floor is more than the owners of some large shops and some big officials, and their bets are several times higher than those on the first floor. This is the top layer, the third layer, but even some officials can't get to the place where the stakes are the highest, and those who go there to gamble will lose a bet as big as half a city in a moment, so ordinary people dare not go to that layer. If there is, it is not necessarily a gambling money. ”

Song Jiyun: "You mean, gambling on your life?" ”

Red Feather: "That's right, that's right. ”

Lin Yue'er: "This is really the first time I've seen it. ”

Momo: "Indeed. ”

Cuizhu: "Sir, they went to Jiugetai. ”

Yong'an Hou: "Oh? ”

Cuizhu: "I heard that I went to make money. ”

Yong'an Hou: "That's interesting. ”

Cuizhu: "Do you want to ......?"

Yong'an Hou: "No, we'll just wait here." ”

Cuizhu: "Yes." ”

Song Jiyun: "Then which floor do we go to?" ”

Red Feather: "Alas! ”

Lin Yue'er: "What's wrong?" ”

Red Feather: "We can only go to the basement level. ”

The basement floor is a small amount of money, if you gamble for a day, if you are lucky, you can earn a small shop, if you are unlucky, you may lose a good inn.

Red Feather: "You two go over there, Yue'er and I go here, remember what I said, observe first, and then bet." ”

Song Jiyun: "Okay." ”

Seeing Song Jiyun and Mo Mo walking over there without looking back, Hong Yu pulled Lin Yue'er up.

Lin Yue'er: "Sister Red Feather, where are we going?" ”

Red Feather: "Let's go to the upper floor." ”

Red Feather squeezed into one place, and Lin Yue'er followed her.

Wang Erwu: "Pressure the big and the small, buy it and leave!" ”

Red Feather: "I'm pressing!" ”

Everyone looked over, and Lin Yue'er also saw it.

Lin Yue'er: Isn't this Momo's flute? When is Red Feather?

Wang Erwu: "What do you mean by this?" If you don't have money, don't waste everyone's time here! Go away, go away! ”

Red Feather: "Look at it, my flute is worth a lot of money!" ”

Wang Erwu looked at it carefully and recognized the name of this flute: "This is, Chiyue Xiao?" ”

Everyone was shocked: "Akatsuki Xiao?!" ”

Red Feather Toe was arrogant: "That's right! It's Akatsuki Xiao! ”

Wang Erwu: "Are you sure you want to bet on this flute?" ”

Red Feather: "Yes. ”

Wang Erwu: "Don't regret losing it!" ”

Red Feather: "No regrets!" ”

Wang Erwu had bad intentions: "Oh? ”

Red Feather: "Because, I won't lose!" ”

After speaking, he opened the cup in Wang Erwu's hand.

Everyone was happy: "It's big!" It's big! I won! ”

Red Feather smiled smugly: "Look, I won." ”

Wang Erwu: "It's just lucky." ”

Red Feather took the Akatsuki flute back and pinned it to his waist.

On the basement floor, Song Jiyun still has ink and ink.

Song Jiyun: "I think that table is good, let's go over there, right?" ”

Momo: "Okay. ”

Song Jiyun: "Let's press a little less first, do you think the pressure is big and the pressure is small?" ”

Mo Mo thought for a moment: "Big." ”

Song Jiyun: "Okay, press small." ”

Momo: "You! ”

The result was small, Song Jiyun smiled: "It's good that I didn't listen to you." ”

Momo: "Hmph, don't be complacent. ”

An hour has passed, and Song Jiyun and Momo are very lucky, and they have already earned a lot of broken silver.

Mo Mo weighed it: "These should be enough to buy the next inn." ”

Song Jiyun: "Well, let's go find Yue'er and them." ”

Momo: "Hmm. ”

The two of them searched for a long time on this floor, but they didn't see any of them.

Song Jiyun: "It's strange, didn't they go this way just now?" ”

Momo suddenly found that his flute was missing: "Not good! ”

Song Jiyun: "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Mo's face darkened: "This guy stole my flute!" ”

Song Jiyun: "Huh? ”

Momo: "They should be on the second floor above ground." ”

Song Jiyun: "How do you know?" ”

Momo: "You'll know when you go!" ”

As expected, at this time, Red Feather and Lin Yue'er had already gone from the first floor to the second floor above ground.

Song Jiyun: "She's so powerful, she actually let us go to the basement?" ”

Mo Mo walked over with a black face, and Song Jiyun also walked over.

Red Feather was pretending, and suddenly found that someone wanted to take the flute pinned to her waist, she held the man's hand, and her tone was extremely disdainful: "Which shameless guy dares to steal my sister's flute!?" ”

Mo Mo was glaring at her, and Red Feather let go of her hand in embarrassment: "Hehe, why are you here?" ”

Momo took back the flute in his own and put it away.

Song Jiyun: "You are so powerful, why did you deceive us?" ”

Red Feather: "No, no, it's just luck, it's just luck." ”

Li Siliu on the other side was impatient: "Are you still gambling or not?" ”

Red Feather: "Bet, gamble, huh, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Li Siliu: "Then hurry up, don't grind!" ”

Red Feather: "You wait for me over there, I'll finish it right away." ”

Lin Yue'er, Song Jiyun and Mo Mo went to stand where there was no one there.

Song Jiyun: "Is Red Feather so powerful?" ”

Lin Yue'er: "Well, it's amazing, we were still on the ground floor just now, but in an hour, we reached the second floor." ”

Song Jiyun: "Then she still let us go to the basement?" ”

Momo: "She's playing tricks on us!" ”
