The entire brothel was decorated with lanterns and colored banners as if it was a joyous occasion. Yan Ran explained that this was a joyous occasion for the brothel. This was because the Feast of Fragrance was a feast for the appreciation of beauties. Every day, the brothel would bring out all the beauties hidden in the brothel. Some of them were charming and some of them were budding. It could be said that a hundred flowers bloomed together. Yan Ran and the other women could also be considered as part of this feast. However, because they were bought by Liu Mang, they did not participate in it.
"Let's go! Brother Kuai! "Liu Mang smiled and said to Kuai Ran.
"This way, Brother Wang!" The three of them walked together. Only Kuai Ran and Yan Ran were still following closely behind.
When Liu Mang and the others moved, there were naturally people paying attention to them. One of them was the Huang Brothers. The Huang Brothers' servant didn't leave. This time, he saw Liu Mang and the others leave the private room and walk towards the Fragrance Banquet.
Another person who noticed Liu Mang and the others was the manager of the brothel. When he saw Liu Mang and the others come out, he was naturally happy. With such a big financial backer coming to the Fragrance Banquet, his brothel would be able to make a big profit.
Since Liu Mang was rich, he naturally enjoyed the best in this brothel. Liu Mang and his two companions were led to the top floor. This place was like a small box. From here, one could see the entire brothel. There were only 22 boxes in the entire brothel. The rest were either half covered by a screen or directly in the hall. Some did not even have a table and only had a chair. However, these people were still very happy to see this brothel.
Liu Mang and the others were able to get a private room because of Kuai Ran. After all, no matter how poor Kuai Ran was, he was still Kuai Yue's son. The Kuai Family was very rich, but Kuai Yue didn't want his son to become a silkpants. The Eldest Young Master of the Si Clan should naturally be seated in the private room. If he did not show his face here, he could still be concealed. Liu Mang was satisfied with this arrangement. It was not appropriate for him to show his face now. After all, he could be easily discovered by people with ulterior motives.
The hall where Liu Mang came in was also cleared. The girls on the first floor seemed to have become reserved all of a sudden. Instead of revealing their jade-like bodies, they were now serving tea and water in a refined manner. The entire hall on the first floor was made into a large open-air stage. The decoration on the stage was very bright. The entire brothel was decorated with lights.
Liu Mang sat down in the private room led by Steward Liu. Naturally, there were maids who served tea and fruits to Liu Mang and the others. Very soon, the night gradually turned misty. When the sky turned dark, the Fragrance Banquet officially began.
"Since ancient times, there have been beauties in the north. Today, our brothel will introduce the first flower in the Hundred Flowers Painting. Luo Xiang, the daughter of the Eastern Capital of Luoyang." An old woman on the stage was very eloquent. She explained the origin of the girl in one sentence. How could there not be beauties in the north? The old woman was obviously trying to give everyone a preconceived idea. The girl who came out was a beauty.
This could be considered a marketing method. However, the old woman was right about one thing. The girl who came out was really a beauty. She walked slowly with a seductive look. She had charmed a lot of people.
"Luo Xiang, Luo Xiang!" As soon as this woman came out, there was immediately a commotion below. There were quite a lot of people in the brothel today. The entire first floor was basically full. There were all kinds of people inside. There were scholars with feathered fans and silk headscarves. There were also strong and sturdy martial artists. It could be said that there were all kinds of people in the brothel. These people were the regular customers of the brothel. It could be said that they were the most popular people in the brothel.
"Who is this Luo Xiang? Why is there such a big reaction?" Liu Mang was a little interested in Luo Xiang. She was just an actress. Why were there so many people cheering?
"This Luo Xiang is the one who was valued at five hundred gold at the last Fragrance Banquet!" Kuai Ran explained to Liu Mang. After all, he was a man. His eyes were filled with lust when he looked at Luo Xiang.
This woman's eyes were filled with charm, and she was indeed mesmerizing. Moreover, this woman seemed to know what men liked! She did not expose too much like other women, nor did she wrap herself up tightly like those noble ladies. She used a layer of highly permeable silk cloth to surround herself. This kind of half-exposed, half-hidden was the best way to arouse a man's desire. One had to know that humans were curious. As the saying went, curiosity killed the cat. Looking at her flickering appearance, the group of werewolves below stared at her with wide eyes and swallowed saliva in their mouths.
Kuai Ran was a man who wanted to look, but he forgot that there was a girl beside him! Yanran saw that her sweetheart's eyes were about to land on Luo Xiang. Naturally, she was jealous. She stretched out her hand and pinched Kuai Ran's soft flesh. Kuai Ran's pained expression made Liu Mang's heart turn cold.
"Five hundred gold!" This was not a small price. Just to sleep with him for one night, 500 gold. Even if he was made of gold, he would not be worth that much! This person was naturally extravagant. Liu Mang bought six girls for seven hundred gold. One night on Luo Xiang's side was worth five hundred gold.
"This girl is no longer a bud. How can she still appear at the Fragrance Banquet?" Liu Mang remembered that Steward Liu told Liu Mang that the Fragrance Banquet was filled with budding girls. However, Kuai Ran said that this girl was from the previous Fragrance Banquet. Her virginity should have been bought. How could she still appear here?
Kuai Ran didn't say anything this time. He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would suffer the Nine Yin White Bone Claw again. Yan Ran said, "Luo Xiang was the winner of the previous Fragrance Banquet. Although her virginity has been taken, her fame is still there. Many people still want to see her. Naturally, she will appear at this Fragrance Banquet!"
"Oh!" Liu Mang understood. Some people liked budding girls, while others liked those who had been developed. Mister Cao was one of them! Liu Mang shook his head. When he thought of this, he thought of Lao Cao. This was an illness that needed to be treated.
"Brother Kuai, why don't I buy Miss Luoxiang again?" Liu Mang asked Kuai Ran with a smile that did not look like a smile.
"Okay!" Kuai Ran subconsciously agreed. However, as soon as he said that, he felt a strong killing intent.
"Ahhh!" Liu Mang's ears were filled with a painful but unbearable sound. This caused Liu Mang's heart to burst with joy. When Liu Mang saw Kuai Ran being tortured by Yanran, he felt very comfortable. Even in his own backyard, he didn't feel so miserable!
Next up was Luo Xiang. As expected of someone who came from an optimistic background. She was the one who dominated the previous batch. She was proficient in the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She wasn't any worse than some of the young ladies who had studied since young. If it wasn't for the charm in her eyes, she might have really mesmerized people.
"Miss Luoxiang, everyone likes it!" Old He went to the front of the stage again and shouted to the wolves below.
"Yes, yes!" Of course, they liked it. This was a feast for the eyes. Luo Xiang's electric eyes had charmed a lot of people. There were even some nerds who were shaking their heads and appreciating the music played by Luo Xiang.
"Since you like it, then present the flowers in your hands!" The old turtle shouted to those animals.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh!" The wolves below howled, and one fresh flower after another was thrown onto the stage.
"Thank you, Sirs. I have nothing to repay you with but a kiss!" The girl called Luo Xiang continued to release electric sparks towards the horny students below. This made the wolves even more excited.
"What are those flowers?" Liu Mang asked Kuai Ran as he looked at the flowers that were thrown to the ground.
"These flowers are bought with money. One thousand per flower! Whoever gives more flowers will be worth more! "Kuai Ran said to Liu Mang.
"One thousand per flower!" Liu Mang really admired the owner of this brothel. He really knew how to make money. A thousand coins was equivalent to 0.1 gold. Liu Mang looked at the hundreds of flowers on the table, which was equivalent to dozens of gold. This could be considered as a way to make money. This was also the first person in the Fragrance Feast.
"Sky Box 6, send out a thousand fresh flowers!" There really was a nouveau riche. The moment he opened his mouth, he offered over a thousand flowers. That was a total of a hundred gold. Liu Mang was a prodigal, but he had eaten and enjoyed those few hundred gold. This hundred gold, on the other hand, was basically wasted.
"If the flowers are given out as a reward, it will be counted as money!" Kuai Ran continued to explain, "These 1,000 or so flowers are equivalent to 100 gold. However, this 100 gold is also part of your expenses. If you buy a girl for a banquet, it will be deducted from your 100 gold."
"Oh, so that's how it is." If the flowers were given directly, it would be difficult to spend them. However, this was also a way to make money. Minimum expenses? Liu Mang suspected that the minimum expenses in the modern world were created at this time.
"This Han woman is really wanton!" While everyone below was intoxicated by Luo Xiang, only one man was drinking wine and expressing disdain towards the beauty on the stage. Although this man was dressed like a Han, his body revealed a feeling of incompatibility with the Han atmosphere. Moreover, this man was very black and his stature was taller than ordinary Han people. At first glance, one could tell that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Such a strange person might attract people's attention during normal times, but in this situation, he didn't attract any attention.
"Thank you, sir!" This Luo Xiang's words were really sweet and charming, revealing a kind of mature feeling.
More than a thousand flowers were worth a hundred gold. In addition to the original few hundred flowers, Luo Yang's current value was close to two hundred gold. It was even more than the six girls that Liu Mang bought. Moreover, this was a girl that had been exploited. It had to be said that there were a lot of rich people in Jing Province.
However, this Luo Xiang was just like that. After all, there were only a few people who liked a girl that had been exploited. Most people liked girls that were still budding and waiting to be exploited. Although Luo Xiang was disappointed, she still retreated and waited for a rich man to take her back so that she could serve him.
"Good, since the beauty from the north has appeared, then it should be time for a beauty from the south! If the beauties in the north are the clouds in the sky, then the girls in the south are the clear streams of water, gentle and gentle! Next is the beauty of our southern Yangzhou, Liwen! "The old turtle continued to speak.
The north and south corresponded to each other. Luo Xiang came from the north and had the beauty of the north. On the other hand, this girl from the south had the gentleness of water.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Wen!" This girl from the south was really made of water. At first glance, it seemed like she wanted to hug and protect him. Her whole face had the gentleness of a little sister.
This kind of girl was the most difficult to resist for those who had the desire to protect her. There was also another kind of person who wanted to knead this kind of soft girl.
Therefore, before the competition started, some people had already started throwing flowers! She didn't have the charm of the previous Luo Xiang. She only had this kind of gentleness, but the number of flowers she received wasn't less than Luo Xiang's. In fact, it was even more. There were more than a thousand flowers on the field. On the side, there were also the gifts from the rich people. There were more than two thousand four hundred flowers, which was 250 gold.
After all, this girl was a budding flower, unlike the previous girl who had already bloomed.
Most of the girls below were from the north. This was because the north, especially the Zhili region, was a place where people ate people because of the annual war. The common people couldn't survive there, so naturally, they would leave their hometown and wander around begging. Most of them fell to the ground and fell on the road, never to get up again. Some people, in order to survive, would naturally sell their children. Therefore, there were more northern girls than southern girls. After all, in a place like Jing Zhou, where everyone could eat their fill, how could they sell their children? Liu Mang saw that most of the southern girls were from Yangzhou.
Liu Mang's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. Yangzhou was under his rule, and the people of Yangzhou could be regarded as his people. Now that his people were being auctioned off, how could Liu Mang not be angry?
"Young Master, don't be impatient!" Just as Liu Mang was about to lose his temper, Jia Xu grabbed Liu Mang's wrist and calmed Liu Mang down. "Young Master, this is Jing Zhou. Although these girls are from Yangzhou, they are not from Yangzhou."
Jia Xu and Liu Mang were confused, making Kuai Ran unable to understand.
"Moreover, Young Master, these girls were taken in by the brothel. Isn't that a way to survive?" Jia Xu said to Liu Mang.
"A way to survive?" When Liu Mang heard these two words, he suddenly sneered. That's right, isn't this a way to survive? If people were not forced to that extent, who would sell their children? In the end, they just want to survive. In Yangzhou, Liu Mang had seen too many broken families and dead people. Starting from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, it was like this all the way. This woman was sold to the brothel. Although it was a shameful business, it was better than starving to death on the road and being eaten by wild dogs.
"Come, let's drink!" Liu Mang was depressed. He raised his glass and toasted Jia Xu and Kuai Ran, "The heavens are unfair, the nobles are unfair, the world is not peaceful, the people are suffering. Come, come, come, let's drink!"
When Kuai Ran and Jia Xu saw Liu Mang's depression, they raised their glass and toasted Liu Mang.
Liu Mang's mood improved a bit after drinking a few cups. Soon, the girls from the North and the South all finished their business. Most of them were around three to four hundred gold. It was rare to find a girl with five hundred gold. It could be said that Luo Xiang was not bad.
"Next is the main dish of the Fragrance Banquet. It's a dish from the Five Streams, a barbarian princess from the Five Streams!" Old He's words really raised the atmosphere of the brothel to a climax.
The Fragrance Banquet was a banquet with the Five Streams as its theme. The beauties from the north and south were only side dishes. This was the main dish.
"The Five Streams Barbarians?" Liu Mang found it interesting. The Five Streams Barbarians had always been at the intersection of Shu Chuan and Jingzhou. Generally speaking, when the Five Streams Barbarians encircled them in Shu Chuan, they would run to Jingzhou. When the Jingzhou encircled them, they would run to Shu Chuan. Therefore, Jingzhou and Shu Chuan could not find a way to subdue the Five Streams Barbarians. Moreover, the Five Streams Barbarians were mountainous and had a lot of miasma. Therefore, the Five Streams Barbarians had always been a headache for Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. Liu Biao had sent Huang Zu to Changsha Wuling for the Five Streams Barbarians. Although the Five Streams Barbarians were few in number, their fighting power was not small. Therefore, Liu Biao had a headache. He had sent General Huang Zu to suppress the Five Streams Barbarians.
However, the Five Streams Barbarian Princess had been captured. Was this real or fake?
"Let me go! Let me go!" Soon, a woman was brought up. This woman was different from the women of the north and south. Although this woman had black hair and black eyes like the Han people, her skin was darker than the average woman. It should be said that her skin was bronze in color. In fact, skin color was not a feature. No matter what, a woman's face was still important. This woman had a stunning face, which was unforgettable. She was really a barbarian girl. As for whether it was the barbarian princess or the owner of the brothel who came up with this gimmick, it remained to be considered.
This time, the barbarian woman wasn't like the previous ones who walked up the stage by herself. This time, she was tied up and brought to the stage. She was brought to the stage in a very special way. She was placed on a very large dish, as if she was a main dish.
"Sister!" Seeing the woman on the stage, the man below obviously could not sit still. Fortunately, the man was calm and suppressed the idea of going up to the stage directly. Now that there were so many people in the brothel, he would only ruin things if he rushed in. The people in the heavenly private rooms were all from the starving families of Jing Province. Most of the guards in their hands were people who came from the battlefield, so their fighting strength was still very strong. Once there was an unforeseen event, they might join forces. Even an ordinary elite troop would find it difficult to contend against them, let alone the few of them. He needed to make his move after Ah Mei was bid for. In this way, he only needed to deal with one person. The possibility of success was higher when the target was still small.
When the woman was brought up, it was obvious that she was still resisting. There was also a master in this brothel. He dressed this barbarian girl up. Not only did he remove the barbarian's filth that Han people did not like, but he also showed the barbarian girl's arrogance that Han women did not have.
What did men like? Conquest! It had been like this since ancient times. Whether it was fighting for hegemony or in all walks of life, men wanted to conquer. This was the nature of men, just like how women loved to be beautiful. Some people said that men conquered the world, women conquered men. And this barbarian girl in front of him was such a person who could arouse people's desire to conquer. He wanted to press her arrogant head down and serve his brothers. Even Liu Mang had a desire to conquer this little pepper when he saw her. Moreover, she was a barbarian girl! No one had tasted her because in everyone's mind, barbarian girls were dirty and unbearable. But this woman in front of him had cut off that kind of thought. She was very beautiful, even more beautiful than the Han women. How could he not be excited?
"It's really a barbarian princess!" Just when Liu Mang was paying attention to the beauty of this barbarian girl, the old fox Jia Xu suddenly opened his mouth.
"Ah ah?!" Liu Mang was puzzled when he heard Jia Xu's words. Wasn't this a gimmick that the owner of this brothel came up with? If she was really a barbarian princess, wasn't he afraid that this Wuxi barbarian would go crazy and kill them?
"My lord, look at the mark on this barbarian girl's neck. Is there a flame mark?" Jia Xu pointed at the barbarian girl below and said.
"Yes!" Because Liu Mang practiced martial arts, his eyesight was quite good. Although he was on the top floor, he was still able to see the skin on the barbarian girl's neck. There was indeed a flame symbol on it.
"Fire is very important in the eyes of these barbarians! We think that water is the source of all things, but they think that fire is the source of all things and is a sacred object. Therefore, they maintain a very sacred idea of fire and don't dare to blaspheme it. Those who can engrave a flame mark on their body are either the priests of this barbarian tribe or the barbarian tribe's princess! " Jia Xu was an old fox. After so many years, he had seen everything. Therefore, he could tell at a glance that this woman was really a barbarian princess. Not only from her skin color, but also from the flame mark. Only people who lived in the caves of the Wuxi region all year round would have such skin color.
"The owner of this brothel is crazy! Isn't he afraid that the Wuxi barbarians will take revenge?! " Liu Mang was really stunned. Who was the owner of this brothel? He dared to auction the princess of the Wuxi region. One must know that the Wuxi barbarians were not to be trifled with. Wasn't he afraid that the entire Wuxi region would rebel if he auctioned their princess? When that time came, the flames of war would spread all over Jingzhou. In front of him was a fierce battle with Liu Biao in Jiang Xia. If there was a fire behind him, then Liu Biao would be in big trouble.
"This optimistic owner is really not afraid!" Kuai Ran said to Liu Mang. "This place is surnamed Liu!"
"Liu?!" Liu Mang finally remembered that the manager of this brothel was called Manager Liu. He was used to the Huang brothers and the eldest son of the Kuai family. The Huang family was one of the few big families in Jingzhou. The Kuai family was also Liu Biao's right-hand man. It could be said that most of the government decrees in Jingzhou were in Kuai Yue's hands. Liu Mang didn't understand why this brothel didn't want to do business. Now he understood that this person's background was big enough. After all, their surname was Liu!
In Jingzhou, only the Liu family was surnamed Liu and was not afraid of the Kuai and Huang families.
"Liu Jingzhou?!" Liu Mang asked. This Liu could only be the Governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao. After all, he was the master of Jingzhou.
"Yes and no!" Kuai Ran said. Liu Mang guessed correctly. This brothel was indeed related to Liu Biao. However, Liu Biao didn't personally ask about it. At his age, Liu Biao didn't care about these businesses.
Liu Mang wanted to ask further, but Kuai Ran stopped. He only said that he would know when the time came. Liu Mang didn't ask any more questions.
Kuai Ran was right, this optimistic Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of the Five Streams Barbarians taking revenge. This was because the Barbarian Princess was already a thing of the past. The Five Streams Barbarians revered the virtues of fire the most. Their fire seeds were usually kept by the elders of the tribe, so they were very respectful when using fire.
This Barbarian Princess was the daughter of the Barbarian King of the Five Creeks. She was born from the Barbarian King and a Han woman. This daughter was very beautiful, but she wasn't the type of woman that the Barbarians wanted. For the Barbarians, a woman with a big butt would be able to give birth easily, and she would also be strong enough to work. Such a woman was a true beauty among the Barbarians. Naturally, the Barbarian King's daughter wasn't favored by the Barbarian King. But after all, she was still the Barbarian Princess.
Therefore, they basically agreed to the request of this fish. This fish had been lively and active since he was young. Moreover, he was intelligent and very mischievous. Generally speaking, the entire barbarian race loved and hated him. There were countless people who had been teased by him.
But this time, she really went overboard. She destroyed the fire that was kept by the elders of the tribe and extinguished it. In such a tribe that worshipped fire, the extinguishment of the fire was very serious. If the barbarian princess had admitted her mistake, it would have been fine. She would have been locked up in the barbarian tribe for a few years. However, no one knew where this barbarian princess learned how to make fire. She disdained the use of fire and made the fire with disdain. Her disdain for fire had thoroughly angered the elders. Therefore, she was kicked out by the barbarian tribe.
No one knew where the owner of the brothel got the news, or maybe it was the idea of the Huang family in Changsha. The barbarian princess was tied up and sent to the brothel to Xiangyang.
This led to the Barbarian Princess who was tied to the table.
"Let me go, let me go! I'll kill you! " Although the Barbarian Princess was bold and unrestrained, she was still a girl after all. She couldn't bear being watched in public for so many years. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
Seeing the Barbarian Princess's fierceness, someone below said, "Old He, this Barbarian Princess is beautiful and tasty. But how can we enjoy her? We can't tie her up all the time. What if we let go of the rope and she kills us with a knife? "
This man said what everyone present was thinking. Although men had the desire to conquer, their lives were more important than their lives. Therefore, many people were still concerned about the safety of the Barbarian Race. Everyone in the Barbarian Race was a soldier. If they let go of the rope, they would really kill people.
"Sir, don't worry about this. We will give you a docile Barbarian Princess!" The Old He laughed and said to the questioning voices below.
"Words are no proof. Show me the evidence!"
Hearing the noise below, the Old He didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and clapped his hands.
Soon, a servant went down and took out a small porcelain bottle from the backstage and handed it to the Old He.
The Old He took the porcelain bottle and pulled it out. Then, he said to the people below, "I believe everyone must know that Drunken Immortal is dead! “
"Drunken Immortal is dead?!" When the people below heard this, the Old He couldn't stay calm. "This is Drunken Immortal is dead?!" Drunken Immortal is dead, also known as Drunken Immortal Desires to Die. This was a aphrodisiac that could be used by both men and women. It could make people completely forget about their desires and unable to extricate themselves from it. After eating it, it would be difficult to control oneself. Moreover, the smell of this thing was very light. If one didn't distinguish it carefully, they wouldn't be able to smell it.
"Who knows if this is real or fake!" This Drunken Immortal Desires to Die was really difficult to obtain. The main reason was that its formula was very complicated and difficult to make. In the black market, a small bottle of this thing could be sold for hundreds of gold coins. Therefore, there were a lot of textiles in this place.
"Hehe, you don't understand this. This Drunken Immortal Desires to Die really came from this brothel!" Someone who knew the goods said to the person who questioned him. If there was a place where Drunken Immortal Desires to Die was the most orthodox and authentic place, it would be this brothel.
"Everyone, please take a look!" The Old He didn't refute. Instead, he used a small spoon to carefully take out a little bit of the Drunken Immortal Desires to Die. Then, he mixed it with the clear water that the servant beside him brought and mixed it into the clear water.
Then, he directly fed the mixed juice to the barbarian princess.
"I don't want to drink, I don't want to drink!" The barbarian princess wanted to resist, but this was not up to her. After the spoon went into her mouth, her face suddenly turned red and her eyes became blurred.
"Ah!" After a moment, a moan came from the mouth of the barbarian princess. Immediately, many people present felt numb.
"Three thousand flowers!" It hadn't started yet, but a local tyrant had appeared in the Heaven private room and directly gave more than three thousand flowers!
