It was meal time, and Xie Wule had finished all his dry food, so he had to suppress his inner rejection and go to the nearest city to eat.
Putting away the map, Xie Wule discerned the direction and rode his horse leisurely to hurry.
"Huh? I didn't expect that there is a restaurant here, which is convenient for me."
Xie Wule couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw that a restaurant had been built on the side of the road. Now he no longer had to go into the city.
Arriving in front of the store, Xie Wule got off his horse. The store is not big, but there are quite a few diners, so they must be travelers like me. I picked an unoccupied table in the corner and sat down.
Looking around, a long-lost sense of intimacy arises. There is no silent person! As soon as this thought arose, Xie Wule immediately patted his cheeks lightly with both hands, thinking with shame.
'Xie Wule, Xie Wule, how could you do this? As the saying goes: A gentleman does not act in vain, and his actions must be righteous. '
'If he is a gentleman, then his words and deeds will not be casual. How can he exclude dissidents just because of his personal prejudices? You still have a long way to go! '
Xie Wule kept warning himself along the way, but the prejudice in his heart was still like a big mountain. For a while, he still couldn't change his prejudice.
"Did you hear that the flower-picking thief came out again?"
"You mean the Passionate Swordsman?"
"That's him. I heard that he just acquired Miss Lin from Yuanfeng Tower a few days ago!"
"There has been no news about him for such a long time. When there is news, he is having an affair with a beautiful woman. Gee, I have to say that I am quite envious."
"Tch, don't look at your appearance. Will those beauties like you? Stop dreaming."
"What's wrong? Am I not good-looking? But you are right. Firstly, I am not as rich as others, and secondly, I am not as versatile as others. It is impossible for any beautiful woman to fall in love with me in this life."
"Hahahaha, you still have some self-awareness, don't talk anymore, just eat and eat."
As soon as the man picked up the chopsticks, Xie Wule came to his side and asked, "Brothers, may I ask if the passionate swordsman you just mentioned is named Xu?"
Those two people, look at me. I looked at you and thought for a moment: "It seems so. We have only heard about his romantic deeds, so we don't know very well. Does this brother know him?"
"It's not like we know each other. I heard that his sword moves are extremely sharp. I am also a martial arts practitioner, so I want to ask for advice. Can you two tell me in detail what you know?"
After Xie Wule's battle with Kong Er, he discovered that he could quickly hone himself by competing with others. Along the way, I also competed with many masters, such as Wang Biao, the fast swordsman, Zuo Qiu Shi, the jade swordsman, Huang Jinzhong, Bajiquan, etc. Although I lost more and won less, I also grew up a lot by asking them for advice.
Seeing the awkward expressions of the two of them, Xie Wule also realized that he had been rude just now, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Excuse me, I was rude, and I apologize to you. I will treat you two to this meal. "
The two of them saw Xie Wule looking at each other like this and nodded: "This brother is also polite. It's not impossible for us to tell you what we know. It's just that we both heard from hearsay. We don't know whether some things are true or not. I hope you don't dislike it, brother." "
"That's very good, that's very good." Xie Wule smiled and sat down at the same table with the two of them.
"Ahem."
Looking at the blood on the handkerchief, Song Weiwei frowned slightly. Although he no longer stayed at home, he did not forget Mr. Xie's prescription even when he was outside, and he also took the medicine on time.
Song Weiwei put away the handkerchief. Over the past few days, she herself had felt something strange about her body, and she was getting weaker and weaker for some reason. I was a little worried and said to myself: "How could this happen?"
Looking at the map, Chiyang County is ahead, and we should be close to finding Mr. Xie. Song Weiwei felt happy when she thought of this. It was the only thing that could comfort her now.
It was also thanks to the young master that he was able to compete with others and exchange martial arts skills, so that he could not wander around like a headless fly.
"Drive!" Song Weiwei shouted, and the horse flew very fast.
"Xu~"
Xie Wule got off his horse, handed the reins to the groom beside him, took a deep breath, and walked towards Guiqing City in front of him.
I heard from the two people at the hotel that the Passionate Swordsman should be in this city.
After walking around the world for a while, Xie Wule also knew that if he wanted to inquire about news, he had to go to a restaurant. There are a lot of people in the hotel every day, and they are all from different walks of life. They also like to brag to each other during meals, and the news comes out.
Wandering around, Xie Wule chose a restaurant called Xiangmanyuan, not the other ones because it had good business and many people.
When the waiter saw Xie Wule approaching, he immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Please come in, please."
After ordering the food, the waiter was about to leave when Xie Wule stopped him: "I want to ask you for some news."
Waiter Yi immediately saw a flash of light in his eyes. He knew that his opportunity to make extra money had come. He turned around and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, please tell me, as long as I know. But you know better, sir."
Xie Wule nodded: "I want to ask the passionate swordsman, do you know?"
When the waiter heard this, he thought, "Who doesn't know this?" Who is the Passionate Swordsman? Now rumors are flying all over the city, okay, this is money coming to your door.
"Sir, I really know this. I think you look familiar to me, and you must be an acquaintance who comes here often. I will only charge you one tael of silver."
It's a bit funny. I just came to this city today, how come I have become an acquaintance of yours? Xie Wule complained in his heart, but still nodded in agreement. He also knew that the closer to the imperial city, the higher the price, and he didn't care about a few silver coins.
"This passionate swordsman some time ago..."
"It's not good for you to defraud this brother of his money like this."
The waiter was interrupted just as he opened his mouth. He was a little angry. He followed the voice and saw a person sitting at the table next to Xie Wule. He was picking up vegetables with his back turned to him.
Judging from the way he was dressed, he must be a young man from a rich family. He couldn't afford to offend him, but that didn't stop him from complaining: "Hey, my guest, how can you cut off other people's wealth?"
The man put down his chopsticks, turned around and threw a tael of silver to the waiter, and looked at him sideways: "Is that enough? I just don't want to see this young master being tricked out of money by you using this news that is known to the whole city. "
"That's enough, that's enough." The little second-hand man hurriedly took the money and left.
The man looked at Xie Wule and looked him up and down, "Brother, are you a foreigner?"
"Yes. What did you mean when you said the whole city knew about it just now?"
"Hahaha, no wonder. In fact, the passionate swordsman you are about to inquire about is a big celebrity in Chiyang County. It only took a day or two after he came to Guiqing City, and the news spread."
So, it seems that this is indeed bad news. The waiter is also a greedy man and plans to sell it to me. Xie Wule frowned and then relaxed: "Thank you so much, brother."
The man brought his food to the table with Xie Wule and looked at Xie Wule with interest: "It's okay, why are you looking for this playboy? Is it possible that you were tricked by him?"
"Brother, I'm just joking. I just heard that he is very accomplished in swordsmanship and I want to ask him for advice."
The man glanced at the sword placed on the table: "So that's it. I know a lot about the Passionate Swordsman. I admire him very much and want to meet this celebrity. I happen to have some eyebrows at his traces. Why don't I How about we go looking for him together?"
"Oh, by the way, my surname is Xu. Xu is not old. I wonder what I call my brother?"
"Xu?"
"Xu who is neither fast nor slow."
Xie Wule didn't know whether what this man said was true or false, but he had no connections, so it wasn't impossible for him to be with him. If it was false, it would just be considered a trip. Nodding: "Thank you very much, Brother Xu. My younger brother's surname is Xie, Xie Wule."
After the two had dinner, Xie Wule followed Xu Bulao through the streets.
"Brother Xu, where are we going?"
"Go to the brothel." Xu Bulao said loudly, looking at Xie Wule from the corner of his eye from time to time, trying to observe his reaction.
Xie Wule had never been to a brothel. In his impression, brothels were places where men and women had sex. When he heard what he said, he seemed a little embarrassed: "Going to a brothel?"
Seeing Xie Wule's appearance, Xu Bulao laughed loudly and said, "That's right, go to the brothel. Since the passionate swordsman is a playboy, if you want to find him, you have to go to the brothel. Brother Xie has not been to the brothel yet, right? Today I will take you to have a good time."
Naturally, he knew that Xie Wule had never been there, but seeing his interesting reaction, he wanted to tease him more.
Xie Wule didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded. However, after thinking about it, I felt that what Xu Bulao said was somewhat reasonable, so I followed him silently.
"Jinyu Tower." Xie Wule raised his head and looked at the plaque. The large gilt characters on the mahogany agarwood looked very grand at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they were a bit euphemistic and restrained. They must have been written by a famous master. The name is also pretty good, and it means a good match.
When Xie Wule came back to his senses, Xu Bulao had already strode in and hurriedly followed.
The building is very spacious. There are many men sitting around the hall on the first floor, and there are beautiful women serving them to eat and drink. In the center of the hall, more than ten beautiful women are dancing to the music.
Xie Wule followed Xu Bulao and sat down cross-legged in front of a desk. After a while, several women came to greet them. Xie Wule was a little at a loss and looked at Xu Bulao beside him, who was already ordering drinks and food with ease.
Xu Bulao looked at the dancers in the hall, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Wule's panicked look, and he laughed and spit out the drink from his mouth. The woman beside him hurriedly went up and wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Master, are you okay?" The woman leaned against Xu Bulao, her voice, voice, and eyes full of charm.
Xu Bulao gently held her hand holding the handkerchief and said to the other two women beside him: "Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. The young man next to me came with me, and this is his first time. Come here this time, you go to him and serve him, there will be many benefits!"
After hearing this, the two women came to Xie Wule's side and served him food and drinks.
Xu Bulao took the food the woman fed him into his mouth, signaled the woman beside him to get up, moved towards Xie Wule, and said in his ear: "How about brother Xie?"
Xie Wule was not used to it for a while, so he lowered his head and shook his head with a dark face.
"Hahaha, it's okay. I'll just do it a few more times in the future."
"Brother Xie, what do you think of the woman in the center of the dance floor?"
Xie Wule followed his instructions and looked. The woman was surrounded by many dancers, her face was covered by a veil, and only a pair of eyes as bright as paint were exposed. Even so, she seemed to have a soul-stirring magic power. Once you look at her, the many dancers around her are as invisible as air.
Her dancing posture is graceful, and every movement is neither too much nor too little, just right, and arouses endless reverie, as if this dance was created just for her.
Unlike any other woman here who shows her breasts and waist, her clothes are tight, but they don't cover up her beauty at all.
"Brother Xie?"
Xie Wule was in a trance, and he didn't react until Xu Bulao called him. He couldn't help but blush, lowered his head, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "It's a shame, it's a shame."
Xu Bulao laughed loudly: "It's understandable. That's Ms. Zhuang, the Oiran of Jinyu Tower. Today she will receive someone in person. Many people came here specifically for her! If I were a passionate swordsman, I would definitely come to see him. look."
Xie Wule looked at the people around him and found that their eyes were also focused on Miss Zhuang.
