After making sure that the two women were completely gone, Han Ye jumped up, took down the baggage hanging on the eaves of the roof at the rear right, took out the candle dragon wine bag, and took a sip of pear blossom wine.
He was very puzzled. The fight just now was already very fierce. Didn't any residents of Lishu Mountain come out to watch the fun?
After looking around, I realized that there were actually several households with oil lamps lit.
It's just that I paid too much attention to the girl in purple shirt just now, and my mind was all on her, so I didn't pay attention to these things.
At this time, there were deer spirits and their husbands opening their windows to watch, there were goat spirits holding their children on the railings and scolding their mothers, and there were even cow spirits running to the street looking for the source of the fighting sounds.
It was probably the fourth watch at this time. Everyone was sleeping soundly, so the reaction to getting up was a little slow. Moreover, the sword fight between Han Ye and the purple-shirted woman was very wide, which made the residents a little confused.
Since the establishment of romantic places like Changle Garden, there have been more fights between male goblins. The goblins' martial arts and magic power are generally much stronger than those of mortals. Even if the noise is louder, the residents of Lishu Mountain will not feel very scared.
Han Ye hid in a dark alley and saw more and more goblins gathering on the street. He felt that they might report to the official. After reporting to the official, the official or even Niu Tingwei and Dog Guard might come in person.
Han Ye decided to wait a moment, not to meet them in his current identity, but to find a quiet and uninhabited place to reveal his true identity to them and ask them about the situation after they had finished their official duties.
But after waiting for half an hour, he changed positions several times, and almost fell asleep behind the eaves of the roof. But before he could see his old subordinates, such as Niu Tingwei or Quan Weiwei, there were only two unfamiliar ones. The monster officials came over to file a case, and then everyone dispersed.
This is all very unusual.
Could it be that because Xue Yan found Niu Tingwei and was already discussing important matters with Sangong and Jiuqing, they would not deal with such small matters as street fights?
It's possible.
Han Ye decided not to wait any longer and went directly to Niu Tingwei.
He originally planned to "surrender" to Niu Tingwei as the flower-picking scholar Ye Han, and then took the opportunity to talk to Niu Tingwei and Xue Yan about the Antian Sect. However, when he arrived at Niu Tingwei's mansion, the two big buffaloes who served as doormen said , Niu Tingwei had left Tingwei's house in a hurry in the evening. He didn't know what case he was going to investigate, and he didn't explain the details to them.
Niu Tingwei is no longer in the house a long time ago?
Then where did Xue Yan go?
Could it be that Xue Yan went to Quan Weiwei's house again when he saw that Niu Tingwei was not there?
Han Ye hurried to the Dog Guard's house, but still learned from the dog spirit guarding the door:
Lieutenant Dog Guard also left home in a hurry at dusk, without telling his family any details!
Although Niu Tingwei and Quanweiwei are mysterious and unpredictable, Xue Yan is even stranger!
Xue Yan's Qinggong is extremely fast. It stands to reason that when she discovered that Niu Tingwei and Quanweiwei were not in the house, if she wanted to come back to Han Ye, she could return to where she was just in half a cup of tea!
But Han Ye had been squatting for so long just now, for half an hour, and he didn't see anyone he knew!
He couldn't help but think:
What the hell is Yan'er doing?
What are the others doing?
This is all so abnormal!
After struggling for a long time, it was time to arrive at the fifth watch.
The summer nights are shorter than the days, and soon the moon gradually sets. The rays of the morning sun cast from the mountains to the east of Bihu, reflecting the morning glow in the sky, making the entire Chiyan City red, and also making the three mountains red. The water of Shili Bihu Lake shines as bright red as fire.
Its daybreak.
If the purple-shirted woman is not the wife Situ Yunmeng, then Situ Yunmeng will come over in an hour or two.
Looking back on this night, Han Ye seemed to have done nothing except pretending to be a naughty scholar and teasing the cold beauty with two swords. He just waited for Situ Yunmeng to come over?
That definitely won’t work!
Han Ye understood that there was a place he had to go, and he must go now.
It’s Changle Garden in Tiangui City!
As a result, Han Ye rushed to Changle Garden without hesitation, carrying his baggage.
As long as you enter Tiangui City, Han Ye can find Changle Garden by himself without asking anyone else.
Because it is so spectacular!
Changle Garden is a thirteen-story high-rise building. From a distance, it does not look like a high-rise building. Instead, it looks like a thirteen-story pagoda.
Huge pagoda.
Each floor is about five feet high, totaling about seventy feet. Such a tall tower is relatively rare not only in the human world, but also in the demon world. Compared with other buildings in Tiangui City, it will naturally stand out from the crowd. No, it should It is said that he stands out from the crowd.
Changle Garden is built against Bihu Lake, covering an area of 240 acres. It is surrounded by ten-foot-high outer walls on three sides. One side faces the water and has a railing, which is the waterfront platform of Changle Garden.
After Han Ye observed the exterior scene from a distance, he gradually approached and came to the south gate.
The southern gate is extremely majestic, almost catching up with the scale of the Huoyun Palace gate. It is the architectural structure of the Five Phoenix Tower.
It should be noted that this "Five Phoenix Tower" is a form of the main entrance of the palace. There are five lofty towers on it, connected by verandas. There is a pavilion on the east and west, shaped like wild goose wings, like five phoenixes, so it is called "Five Phoenix Tower". building".
The entire gate is in the shape of a "concave" shape, consisting of a gate tower, a tower, and a tower. The lower platform ranges up to sixty feet from east to west, twenty-five feet from north to south, and the gate is ten feet deep. On such a platform, A fifteen-foot-high Five Phoenix Tower was built on the foundation. Its majesty is enough to amaze anyone who comes here for the first time.
The so-called que towers refer to the watchtowers on both sides in front of the gate. They are fifteen feet high and have three ques. They advance and retreat in an orderly manner and are staggered in height. The que towers and the gate are connected by corridors and towers, making the entire Wufeng Tower look even more impressive. Grand and glorious!
Arriving at the gate, Han Ye lamented that the scale of Changle Garden was far beyond his imagination, and finally understood why there were so few guards at the gate of Chiyan City.
It turns out that the guards have all come here!
But I saw the guards holding spears and spears, standing upright on the gate tower, tower and tower. They consciously guarded this huge Changle Garden with five steps and one post every ten steps, as if they were possessed.
However, Changleyuan is simply a brothel!
Han Ye didn't expect that visiting a brothel would give him the feeling of entering a palace!
Han Ye opened the breeze bamboo fan and fanned himself, pretending to be admiring the magnificent scenery, and passed in front of the giant elephant guards guarding the door. Seeing that Han Ye looked like a romantic scholar, the giant elephant guards let him go without saying much.
Han Ye felt that what they had to guard against was not "irregular people" like him, but serious people like the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.
Speaking of this gate, there are three gates lined up on the outer wall of Changle Garden. The middle gate is three feet wide and five feet high, and the two gates on the left and right are each two feet wide and three feet high.
Generally speaking, guests who come here for entertainment will enter and exit through the middle door if they have a car.
If you are walking in and out, you can only enter through the left door and exit through the right door.
But often more people go in and fewer people come out.
Before going in, they were in groups of three or five, arriving one after another, and they were very happy. When they came out, they were alone, dejected and distracted.
Han Ye entered from the left door, and after passing through the gatehouse, the grand thirteen-level tower towering into the clouds and covering an area of 100 acres came into view.
It is said to be thirteen levels, but in fact, the three levels below are only surrounded by a circle of large glazed windows; the ten levels above have three rows of small windows in the upper, middle and lower levels.
It can be seen from the appearance that there are actually three floors of guest rooms in each of the ten upper floors. The three lower floors are connected together internally and are probably used for dining and leisure.
On the surface, it looks like a huge inn.
Each of the twelve eaves on each level is decorated with a luminous pearl, and under the eaves are countless rows of lanterns.
Even though it is already morning, Changle Garden can still emit brilliant and brilliant light, which shows how brightly lit it is at night, as if it were daytime!
Han Ye continued to walk forward, passing by a glazed avenue that was ten feet wide and about fifty feet long. The people visiting both sides were fairies, mortals, and gods, all of whom came in an endless stream.
Looking to the left, there are the stables of Changle Garden. The stables are like a Gongyuan examination room with eight hundred stalls crisscrossing them!
There are mortal horses in the stables, as well as birds and beasts that immortals ride on.
Green Luan, Fire Phoenix, Pegasus and Flying Bear, Giant Python and Black Turtle, Crane and Kui Niu.
The male goblins from Li Shu Mountain are taking care of them by feeding them various fodder.
There are probably hundreds of these male fairies working as slaves, but I don't know what makes them willing to do these things.
Looking to the right, it is the swimming pool of Changle Garden.
The swimming pool is thirty acres wide and is surrounded by a clear water bay in Bihu. At this time, there are already hundreds of men of all kinds wandering and playing in it. Some of them look just like ordinary people. , some have tiger heads and leopard tails, bird heads and snake bodies, and it is impossible to tell whether they are immortals or monsters.
There were many beauties accompanying them, including a butterfly succubus who only wore belly pants and fluttered her wings in the air, and a mermaid girl who only wore a dragon gauze veil and swung her tail under the water. As for spider spirits, mysterious ghosts, Snake demons and fox fairies are no problem.
Listening to the play of men and women, Han Ye didn't find it interesting, but rather angry. He believed that if his wife Situ Yunmeng came over and saw this, she would be even angrier than him!
Han Ye understood that the male goblins in Lishu Mountain had indeed not had a partner for more than ten years or even decades. Some were born alone, and there were many who had never even held a girl's hand.
But even if you don’t find a good girl for the time being, you can’t quench your thirst with poison!
At least Han Ye had never visited a brothel in the eight years since he left Situ Yunmeng.
There are many ways to release desire, and visiting a brothel is always the most meaningless one. To hand a man's first time into the hands of a strange woman and to spend money to do it is really not good for yourself and the future woman. Responsible!
In particular, men require women to keep themselves as pure as jade, but they wantonly look for flowers and flowers.
Indulging in sensuality and playing with things will destroy our country and our country sooner or later!
If women are born just for men to play with their bodies, then why do they live? Just for the money?
If men are born just to play with women's bodies, then why do they live? Just for lust?
Admittedly, these cannot be ignored, it is human nature.
But if you put it on the stage grandly, it would be vulgar and low-level.
However, Han Ye was now the flower-picking scholar Ye Han, so he could only pretend not to see it.
He continued to shake his bamboo fan in the breeze, walked through the Liuli Avenue, and entered the thirteen-level tower of Changle Garden.
There is indeed a different world in the tower.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the front hall. Eight large red pillars with five people hugging each other are neatly arranged to support the ceiling of the front hall;
Two rows of golden stairs on the left and right spiral up, connecting the second and third floors.
In the center are five parallel counters, and at each counter stands a luxuriously dressed and beautiful waitress, receiving guests who come to have fun, dine and check in.
I didn't see the shopkeeper where he was.
Han Ye walked over, waving his fan, and began to ask the waitress about the situation in Changle Garden.
"Sir, do you have an appointment with any girl?" the waitress asked with a smile.
Han Ye shook his head: "Xiaosheng heard that among the six realms, Changle Garden is the most famous one. People come here because of its reputation and don't date any girls."
"Please introduce the prices here first."
It is perfectly normal for customers to come to the store to inquire about services and prices.
Just listen to the waitress saying skillfully: "No matter whether you are eating, drinking tea or checking in, we have to arrange for a girl to accompany you. The accompanying girl will charge you silver according to her type, appearance and skills."
"If you need to be accompanied into the room, you will be charged three times the price."
"The cost of taking one's virginity is ten times more, depending on the grade."
As she spoke, the waitress pointed to a jade white board behind her, which had various prices engraved on it and said:
Female ghost - five taels of silver.
Mortal girl - twelve.
Fairies - thirty taels, you can specify any type, including birds, animals, insects and fish.
Fairies, witches - one hundred taels.
On this basis, it is divided into good products, fine products, top products, treasures and top products.
Ordinary ones are good ones, premium ones cost an additional ten taels, top-quality ones cost an additional thirty taels, and rare ones cost an additional eighty taels.
The best products require bidding, with the base price being three hundred taels, and the one with the highest price wins.
On this basis, for each guest officer who is required to have one of these ten specialties, such as playing the piano, playing chess, calligraphy, ink painting, reciting poems, composing poems, singing, dancing, drinking, and making tea, an additional fee will be charged. Twelve.
Of course, the decathlon is one hundred taels.
Han Ye looked at these prices and looked down on Changle Garden from the bottom of his heart.
Selling girls as goods, even if she is a fairy, does everything with her clients for just a few thousand taels of silver. This is really unbearable vulgarity!
But what makes Han Ye even more puzzled is why the girls are willing to abuse him?
Yes, it is true that some girls do this for a living.
But the scale of Changle Garden is too big. Hundreds of girls are working as prostitutes at once, and it is not known which girls are forced into prostitution.
The Antian Sect must have used some inhuman means to force girls into prostitution.
In addition, there are so many guards and male goblins outside the door who are willing to work for Changle Garden. What are they doing for this?
Han Ye thought for a while and then said to the waitress in a difficult manner: "Although your store clearly lists the price, to be honest, it is quite expensive."
The waitress responded with a smile like a puppet: "Sir, you just said that our store is the most famous among the six worlds. You came here because of its reputation, so naturally you have inquired about our store."
"Even if our store is a high-quality product, its appearance is outstanding among all walks of life. The price is definitely not expensive. You get what you pay for, don't you think?"
Han Ye listened, his brows furrowed, and he whispered to the waitress: "Um... Actually, I didn't bring enough money. Is there any other way to give me a discount?"
A trace of disdain flashed across the waitress's face, very briefly, and then she returned to her smile: "Of course, there are discounts, but you need to sign a contract with our store and do something for our store, and you will get a discount after completing it. You can even experience the service of our quality girls for free once.”
I see!
That's why there are so many guards outside volunteering to guard the door, and so many male goblins volunteering to feed the guests' mounts!
The boss behind Changle Garden has such a good idea. The girls they use are all girls from the six realms, and they are controlled to poison the male goblins in Lishu Mountain! It doesn’t cost much, but all the money goes into your own pocket!
What a bastard!
Seeing Han Ye lingering for a long time, asking questions, the waitress in front of the counter became a little suspicious of his purpose, but she still had a smile on her face and asked: "Sir, if you don't bring enough money, you should go back and get it." Come again, don't delay the reception of the guests behind me."
At this time, Han Ye recalled the purple-shirted girl he met last night. Judging from the purple-shirted girl's cold appearance, she must be a good woman.
Why did she come to Lishu Mountain?
Why are you so angry when you see a promiscuous person?
And why should he conceal his identity? Even at the expense of making up an identity for yourself?
Even if Situ Yunmeng hadn't changed her, she shouldn't be an enemy!
Could it be that she dressed like that just to sneak into Changle Garden, investigate clues, rescue ignorant girls, and send away ignorant men?
Probably!
Most likely!
So, she should be in Changle Garden now? !
Judging from her appearance, she is extremely beautiful. She is different from his wife Situ Yunmeng. She must be considered the best, and her talent is probably not bad either.
How about pretending that you are dating her and making a bet with the waitress?
As a result, Han Ye thought in his mind, patted the counter and said: "Ah! I almost forgot! You have a top-notch girl here, called the palace lord (princess) empress! Wearing a swallow-tail skirt and a purple gauze gown, I like playing the harp! Who is that?! Hiss—!"
Han Ye tried his best to talk as much as he could based on the clues, especially when he heard that the purple-shirted girl always called herself "this palace" or "this palace". She was either the princess of the demon world or the master of the immortal sect. He originally expected the waitress in front of the counter. After hearing this, I couldn't help but tell the name of the girl in purple shirt, and then fooled Han Ye.
But it's a pity that the waitress obviously had professional training. Her smile gradually disappeared and she said coldly: "Sir, if you don't tell who it is, we won't arrange a meeting. Please come back."
Han Ye regretted why he didn't ask more about the girl in purple shirt's name last night, which made her very embarrassed now!
Just as the waitress was about to call the tiger spirit and bear spirit at the door to kick him out.
At this moment, a soft and cold female voice came from the side:
"Xia Zhu, he is Mr. Ye, and he is my guest."
"Didn't I give you three thousand taels of silver before? It was his deposit."
This voice is very familiar to Han Ye!
Han Ye turned around and saw a peerless beauty standing on the golden steps. Her eyebrows were like the moon and her blue eyes were like ice. She was still wearing a purple gauze gown and a swallow-tailed skirt. She was holding on to the jade railing with one hand. , pointing one finger at Han Ye, his legs shining in the golden light.
It was the purple-shirted woman who was good at wielding two swords that I met last night!
[Don’t worry, everyone, the plot is absolutely non-toxic. You will suddenly understand it when I reveal the answer. I have picked out all the details, so you can rest assured and wait for me to follow the plot.
Note:
① "Duo Tower" - the towers on both sides of the main tower. In the Wufeng Tower, they are generally located between the gate tower and the tower.
② "Three-out Que" - There are single-out, two-out, and three-out towers. The three-out Que is the highest level. It usually has two sub-ques attached to the extension (or rear) of the mother tower, and the scale is gradually reduced. The three-out Que currently discovered by archeology are all from the Sui and Tang Dynasties and later, and their shapes are basically finalized. 】
