Chapter 352: Joy Hills (Part II)
Cao Yi Chen Ao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered who this person was.
Feng Hu also thought about it and reminded: "Alliance leader, this person is the current head of the Cao family!"
Chen Ao nodded, a little apprehensive in his heart. Cao Yi's name was heard for the first time in the mouth of Shaolin abbot Jingxiang. It was this Cao Yi who designed the so-called martial arts conference. Later, on the way to Beijing, he collected information about the four major families, and once again had a certain understanding of the name Cao Yi.
Chen Ao made trouble in Shaolin and destroyed Nangong Jun's conspiracy, so he wanted to stay away from the four major families, and it was best not to get along with each other. Unexpectedly, I met Kou Zhun today, and now I have to deal with Cao Yi again?
Liu Sanbian didn't notice Chen Ao's strange appearance, and still said: "If Brother Chen wants to go, I can be a guide." At the beginning of this year, a few friends invited me to come with me. Although he is not very familiar, he can also help Brother Chen a little. ”
Feng Hu looked at Chen Ao with burning eyes and asked, "Alliance leader, do you want to go?"
Chen Ao looked at Feng Hu, Qin Lang and Liang Xiaoya. Several people were a little worried on their faces, everyone understood that in order to rescue Zhao Ling, they must take risks, and at the same time they felt that if they went deep into the tiger's den, if they were not careful, not only would they not be able to save people, but they would even be wiped out.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Ao to make a decision. Chen Ao remembered that Zhao Ling was trapped in the imperial city, and his life and death were uncertain, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Go! Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, we will break through!"
Liu San changed his eyes when he saw the solemn expressions of several people, and couldn't help but be startled: "Longtan Tiger's Den?
Chen Ao didn't want to tell him about his grievances with the four families, so as not to make Liu San suspicious, so he said, "It's nothing. Brother Liu, why don't we go to Joy Hills Villa today?"
Liu San became overjoyed: "Okay, good!"
Liang Xiaoya hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, I'll go with you!"
"What are you going to do!" Chen Ao's face sank.
Liang Xiaoya bit her lip and said, "Today you were arrested by the people of Kou Mansion, I don't know how worried I am." I'm not going to let you go on an adventure alone, even if you want to die, we have to die together!"
She said it categorically, and Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking about Xuanning's fall from the cliff and disappearing, Chen Ao felt heartache. Liang Xiaoya's words made him not know how to refuse.
Liu Sanbian was a little embarrassed, and said, "Miss Liang is going too...... This one...... Something is wrong......"
Liang Xiaoya's eyes widened and shouted, "What's wrong!"
Liu Sanbian was startled, took two steps back, and actually stammered: "This, this, this...... This Joy Hill is a place for men to have fun...... Woman...... Of course it's not appropriate for a woman to go......"
Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What did you say, isn't Joy Mountain Villa Cao Yi's residence?"
It turned out that they heard Liu Sanbian say that many dignitaries and nobles often go in and out of Xile Villa, and the owner of this mountain villa is Xile Hou Cao Yi, so they have a preconceived idea that Xile Villa is Cao Yi's mansion. That's why they feel that going to Joy Hills is a very dangerous thing to do.
Chen Ao asked, "Brother Liu, tell me clearly, what kind of place is this Joy Villa?"
Liu San relented, simply sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said while moistening his throat: "Actually, I can't complain that you misunderstood, not only you, but many people don't know what kind of place this place is when they hear about Joy Villa!
He took a sip of tea and continued: "Our officials and businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty all like vassal elegance and a romantic name. Therefore, there are many people who linger in Qinglou. This Joy Villa was originally a green building!"
Chen Ao and Feng Hu and the others were stunned. When he was in Liangcheng, he already knew that the so-called Qinglou was not a place for prostitutes to do the skin and meat business as later generations thought. A stylish green building is not only a place for singing and dancing entertainment, but also a place for social gatherings, a place for literary and artistic exchanges, and possibly a place for psychological counseling services. Many people go to Qinglou not for physical pleasure. They all have many concubines in their families, and they have to vent outside if they can't do it. They go to the Qinglou precisely because they can relax physically and mentally and eliminate stress.
Therefore, Chen Ao heard that Joy Villa was started by a green building, but he didn't think much about it. It is a little surprising that the Cao family, which is only one of the four major families, would open such a Fengyue place.
Liu Sanbian continued: "Of course, if this Joy Villa was just a green building, it wouldn't make so many people forget to return. Today's Joy Hill Villa is really a place to eat, drink and have fun. Anything you can think of, it's available there. I heard that even today's officials are full of praise for Xile Villa, so they have named the owner of Cao Zhuang a Xile Hou!"
Chen Ao couldn't laugh or cry. He vaguely remembered that the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty was introduced in the history books, and he was a little cowardly by nature, afraid of the Khitan like a tiger. It's just that I didn't expect this emperor to be so ridiculous, just because Cao Yi opened an entertainment center, he was named Hou.
But in this way, Chen Ao was also relieved. Since this Joy Hill is a place of entertainment, it is much safer. As long as you are cautious, you should not be targeted by Cao Yi. When the time comes, it may not be difficult to make one or two imperial relatives and ask them to help inquire about Zhao Ling's news.
Thinking of this, Chen Ao slapped the table and said, "Since this is the case, then let's prepare and go to Joy Villa tonight to see and learn!"
Feng Hu and Qin Lang agreed. In fact, you don't need to prepare anything, but when you go to visit the Qinglou, you always have to prepare all the money before you can deal with dignitaries.
Liang Xiaoya knew that Joy Villa was that kind of place, and it was not good to insist on going there anymore. When I was in Liangcheng, I dared to break into the Hongxiang Building, but I was ignorant. Now it's the first time I've met love, but I'm a little shy.
She pulled Chen Ao's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Chen, be careful yourself......"
Chen Ao was moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not going to the battlefield, what danger can I have?"
He turned his head to Qin Lang and said, "Qin Lang, you stay here to protect Xiaoya." If you get confused again, hum ......"
Qin Lang had a bitter face and hurriedly agreed.
Chen Ao settled Liang Xiaoya, and then took Liu Sanbian Feng Hu out of the house. In his mind, today is just to explore the way, to get familiar with the situation, and he doesn't need to bring too many people.
The three of them rode horses and walked slowly towards the western city. Along the way, Liu Sanbian kept introducing Chen Ao to various tricks in Xile Villa. That's really eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, you name it. But Chen Ao didn't have the heart to listen to this, so he agreed casually, and he had already thought about what to do when he arrived at Joy Villa.
