A young man who is new to the world can't help but blush and his heart beats when faced with a romantic place that he has only heard about. Especially when I took a closer look at the charming women outside the door for the first time. They were wearing linings of different colors, and the fabric was just enough to tighten their chests. Then a light-colored tulle is draped over the body, and hakama pleats are worn on the lower body, which vaguely outlines the girls' concave and convex bodies. This made the two people who were still watching from a distance become more and more excited and excited.
Zhao Kuo said uneasily: "I often hear people say, 'It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty.' And there are so many beauties in this brothel, which has attracted countless literati and heroes from ancient to modern times. We are afraid that something will happen when we go there. …”
"I am very convinced of Brother Zhao's character. Don't Brother Zhao believe me?" Bai Feng said with a smile: "Currently, my understanding of the Shi family is still shallow, and sometimes the rumors from ordinary people and refugees may not be untrustworthy. "
"Then try your luck!" Zhao Kuo swallowed, made a serious look as if he was ready to resist the temptation of the beauty, and approached Xunxiang Pavilion with Bai Feng. Just as the two took the next step, a familiar voice stopped them.
"Hey! Where are you two going?" Looking around, it turned out to be the girl from the Miao family.
Zhao Kuo said helplessly: "I knew you wouldn't just stay here."
"That's not true!" Ajuan retorted: "I came out to watch the lanterns. I walked and ended up here!"
"How was that veteran's spell just now?" Bai Feng crossed his hands on his chest and asked maliciously.
Ajuan didn't think much and replied excitedly: "It's so fun! The piece of paper with the strange words on it actually burned by itself!" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had let something slip. Then he looked at each other with an innocent face and fell to the ground, placing his hands in front of his lower abdomen and intertwining them, trying to win Zhao Kuo's sympathy.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuo smiled disdainfully and said: "Ha! I won't accept your trick. I sneaked out for a long time, and Miss Murong and the others must be very worried. I will take you back right now..." After that, Zhao Kuo Then he pulled Ajuan's arm roughly, trying to force her away.
But Ajuan changed from her usual petite and exquisite self and returned the favor. After shaking off the opponent's hand, she complained with strong dissatisfaction: "Zhao Kuo! Who are you to me? Since I followed you out, I will do anything." I asked you first! Let me tell you now, I only listen to my mother and grandma!"
"But..." Zhao Kuo was speechless for a moment, fearing that such a graceful woman would be furious if he didn't expect it. This is completely different from the ladies he has met. After a moment, he continued: "Ms. Ajuan's mother, please ask me to take good care of you, Ajuan..."
Ajuan stroked her sore arm and asked in a softer tone, "Can't you take care of me if I go in to play?"
"Miss Ajuan, after all, this is not a place that serious people should go. We are only here to find out information about the Shi family." Bai Feng replied.
"I don't care, I just want to go in!" Ajuan looked at Zhao Kuo who was at a loss and said, "I don't want him to care about me!"
After a dispute, Zhao Kuo had no choice but to agree to Ajuan's request and reluctantly entered the romantic place with a young foreign woman. Because Bai Feng was carrying a long sword at his waist, he was stopped in front of the door and asked to search him. After that, Zhao Kuo and Ajuan entered. Taking this opportunity, the young man asked about the head of Shi Er's family.
The person who searched him was a man of similar height and build to him, but with a thin and gaunt face and particularly bloated bags under his eyes. Bai Feng asked him if Shi Er passed by this place on the night of his mysterious death. The man just poked his head with his finger naively, as if he was trying his best to remember, and said: "You... better ask 'Aunt Hong'! Here, that's the beautiful sister standing over there." The man pointed to the door and embraced her. Among the women who are guests, there is a place near the center. Bai Feng thanked him, then turned around to find "Hong Gu"...
"Are you talking about the second boss? He comes to our Xunxiang Pavilion four or five times every month. He can be considered an old acquaintance! He did come here to play that night, and he was actually found dead in front of the pier the next day , It’s really not as good as God! Fortunately, it didn’t affect our business..." The woman called "Hong Gu" seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the young man's question, and said: "Sir, I came here just to ask one question. How boring it is to deal with dead people! Seeing how handsome you are, I'll give you a 30% discount!" After saying that, she and several women around her pulled Bai Feng into the Xunxiang Pavilion. .
After stepping into the door, the smell of rouge and gouache from the girls kept pouring into the boy's nostrils; the noises of sneers, curses, and carnivals poured into the boy's ears; all kinds of graceful figures, plump breasts, and buttocks poured in. into the young man's eyes. Bai Feng, who had been stripped of her "three senses", looked for her two friends in panic.
"Fortunately, they are standing at a table not far from the door." Bai Feng said thankfully. Then, with a slight apology, he broke away from the crowd and ran straight towards Zhao Kuo and Ajuan.
Seeing Bai Feng breathing heavily, Zhao Kuo joked: "Don't worry, Brother Bai, I won't tell Miss Murong!"
"You..." Bai Feng replied: "Brother Zhao, you'd better hurry up and get the news!"
"Cough...cough!" Ajuan on the side was holding a wine glass and suddenly coughed: "This wine...is so choking..."
Zhao Kuo looked like a villain and sarcastically said: "How about it? I said that the wine outside is not as sweet and delicate as the wine at your home, but you insist on drinking it. Let's see if you will listen to me next time!"
"Hmph!" Ajuan ignored the dissuasion and took another sip, but this time he didn't cough, but instead received a harsh shout: "Ah!"
The two people beside him heard the sound and saw Ajuan leaping in front of Zhao Kuo and snuggling her back into his arms. With a shy look on her face, she pointed at a man wearing silk red clothes and a red top hat in front of her. , said: "He...he pinched my butt!"
The man dressed in red has a goatee under his lips, his face is red, and his steps are sloppy, like a drunken man. He looked at Ajuan with a smile and said: "Girl, not only are you dressed differently from others, but your voice is also so nice! Come, play with me!" After that, he walked over and stretched out his hand to Ajuan's face.
Zhao Kuo immediately stood in front of Ajuan and punched the drunken man to the ground. The sound of the fight and the wailing of the man in red quickly attracted the people around him. The man raised his trembling hand, pointed at Zhao Kuo, and said: "That's it...this guy dares to hit me!" The entourage and the big hands of the brothel nearby saw their master and distinguished guests being attacked, and they all rushed out in an instant. Go up and drive Zhao Kuo out of Xunxiang Pavilion. Zhao Kuo, who is tall and powerful, has been protecting Ajuan in front of him, resisting the beatings in turn. Bai Feng on the side saw the crowd and didn't dare to move rashly, so they took advantage of the chaos and walked out together.
Ajuan watched Zhao Kuo vomit out the blood in his mouth, feeling extremely guilty and said, "Master Zhao, I'm sorry. It turns out that 'Xunxiang Pavilion' is that kind of place..."
"It's good that you know." Zhao Kuo touched his cheek and retracted his hand due to the sting.
Seeing this, Ajuan gently touched the swollen area with his fingertips, like a meatball, and said, "Go back and get my medicinal oil to rub it. You will be fine soon."
"Brother Bai, look at my 'hero saving beauty' show, I didn't disappoint you!" Zhao Kuo felt the gentle touch from the woman, as if the pain just now was gone, and said: "Oh, it's a pity that I didn't find out any news. .”
Bai Feng looked in the direction of Xunxiang Pavilion and replied: "No, it can be confirmed now. Master Shi Er was indeed in Xunxiang Pavilion on the night of the incident."
Suddenly, a figure walked past Xunxiang Pavilion. Although he was dressed in men's clothing, he was unusually short and thin. He had a brief conversation with "Aunt Hong" in front of the door, then turned around and looked around warily. Through the lantern on the door, Bai Feng could clearly see his eyes, which were surprisingly similar to Mrs. Xun's eyes that she saw today - eyes with wisdom and a little melancholy.
"Why, Mrs. Xun would come in and out of a place like this!" Bai Feng said in shock.
The two people beside him looked at Xunxiang Pavilion in disbelief, thinking that it was Mrs. Xun. With the information obtained today, the three returned to the Chamber of Commerce.
"I always feel that things are getting more and more interesting..."
