The Huang brothers had already taken out 2,100 gold, and the barbarian princess was also worth 1,500 gold. This added up to 3,600 gold. If they were to use this money to buy provisions, they would be able to buy 100,000 dan of provisions during a good harvest year. Even during a disaster year, they would be able to buy around 50,000 dan of provisions.
If they were to build ships, they would be able to build a shipyard, let alone a warship. This year, Jing Province's military salary was only 5,000 gold. Liu Mang didn't dare to make a move. It wasn't that Liu Mang didn't have money, but if he continued to fight with the Huang Brothers, the Huang Brothers wouldn't have any money left. This wasn't because he cared about the Huang Brothers or because he was trying to save money.
If Liu Mang continued on like this, the Huang brothers would not have enough money to bid for the barbarian princess. In the end, Liu Mang's plan would be ruined. Using 1500 gold to buy a barbarian princess, Liu Mang still wanted to live for a few more years. Such a large amount of money would not be able to be concealed. Even if he bought the princess, he would not know where to put it. Therefore, Liu Mang decided to spare the Huang brothers.
"It's getting late. Brother Kuai, didn't we agree to visit your uncle and his son's home? " Liu Mang stood up and stretched. Although there were chairs, most people were still used to kneeling. Liu Mang couldn't stand sitting like this.
"Hm? Brother Wang, don't you want to see who bought the Barbarian Princess? " Kuai Ran, on the other hand, was very interested in watching the show. He was a man after all, so he naturally liked such things. Furthermore, they were here because of the Huang brothers, so they would feel bad if they didn't watch the show.
Seeing that Kuai Ran didn't intend to leave, Liu Mang couldn't just drag him away. He looked at Yanran and smiled. "What's wrong? Brother Kuai, are you interested in the Barbarian Princess? Although she has fallen into a brothel, this barbarian princess has a different taste. If Brother Kuai is willing, I will definitely help Brother Kuai take down this barbarian princess! Liu Mang acted as if he was a brother. Kuai Ran's heart skipped a beat and he was about to say, "Good, good." Kuai Ran was a veteran in the field of women. He had tasted many women and even had a few concubines at home. However, he had never tasted a woman from the barbarian race.
"Ahhh!" Before Kuai Ran could say anything, he felt that the soft flesh around his waist was no longer his. Kuai Ran's face was constantly changing. First, it was green, then it turned red. His expression was constantly changing. First, it was pain. Then, it turned into a smile. However, no matter how one looked at it, it was a forced smile. There were tears on his face.
"Let's go! We have to leave quickly. If we're late, my uncle might fall asleep. Let's hurry! " Kuai Ran smiled bitterly at Liu Mang. Liu Mang saw that Yanran was also smiling at him, as if she wasn't the one who had done that. This woman was truly a terrifying creature.
"Does Mister Zi Rou sleep early?" Liu Mang wasn't familiar with Kuai Liang.
"Yes, my uncle has a habit of sleeping early and waking up early. Once the sky darkens, he will prepare to go to bed. Once he goes to bed, he won't see anyone!" Kuai Ran didn't care about why Liu Mang, Kuai Liang's old friend, didn't know about Kuai Liang's habit. It wasn't important to Kuai Ran. Even if Liu Mang didn't know Kuai Liang, he was prepared to introduce Liu Mang to him.
"Then let's go!" Liu Mang saw that Jia Xu had returned. Jia Xu nodded at Liu Mang, indicating that he had completed the task Liu Mang asked of him. This way, Liu Mang could leave the brothel.
"Young Master, are you not going to stay any longer?" Liu Mang was about to leave. Steward Liu heard the news and ran over.
"No, Steward Liu. Kuai Ran and I still have things to do. We have to visit some elders and can't be late." Liu Mang smiled at Steward Liu.
"Aren't Young Master Wang and Kuai Ran interested in the barbarian princess?" Steward Liu still wanted Liu Mang to stay. Their brothel didn't allow fighting, but they didn't stop people from fighting for money. These young masters had grudges against each other, so the brothel made the most money.
"Haha, forget about the barbarian princess. There's a fierce tiger at home. We have to be careful when seeking pleasure!" Liu Mang laughed.
"May I know where Young Master Wang is from?" After Liu Mang went to the Heavenly Room, Steward Liu sent someone to investigate Liu Mang. However, the Wang Family only had Wuling in Jingzhou. Although they had some influence in Wuling, in front of Steward Liu, they were still considered mediocre. How could a second-rate noble family have so much money? This made Steward Liu hesitate.
"He's just an ordinary student from the Lumen Academy!" Liu Mang avoided Steward Liu's probing. This was equivalent to not saying anything. Although the students of the Lumen Academy were elites in Jingzhou, there were still many of them.
"Steward Liu! Do we need to pay for this box? "Liu Mang thought that Steward Liu was here to collect money.
"No, no! These are all free gifts for Young Master! " Steward Liu declined. If Liu Mang didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask. After all, he was the customer. Steward Liu looked at Liu Mang with a smile. This was because Liu Mang had helped the brothel earn thousands of gold coins. Steward Liu was happy. First, Liu Mang had spent 700 gold coins. Then, Liu Mang and Young Master Huang had raised the price and contributed hundreds of gold coins. Steward Liu felt that it was a pity that such a rich person was leaving. If he was around, he would definitely send the barbarian princess off.
"Hehe, thank you, Steward Liu!" Liu Mang nodded and left with Kuai Ran with the six girls.
This brothel was really considerate. They even specially prepared a carriage for Liu Mang so that Liu Mang could drop off the six women he bought and use it as a means of transportation. Liu Mang also did not refuse. After all, the carriage had to be sent back to the brothel. This Steward Liu did not have any good intentions in giving the carriage. He just wanted to find Liu Mang's place to stay and spy on him.
"Let's go then!" Liu Mang sneered. Anyway, Liu Mang wasn't the King Of Shu anymore. He was Liu Mang from the Lumen Academy! The place they were going to was not where Liu Mang was staying, but Kuai Liang's residence.
"Oh? There's still someone attending the banquet at this time? " Liu Mang and the rest walked out of the brothel. At the same time, another person walked in. He was dressed like a scholar.
"Chen Ju?" Kuai Ran hesitated when he saw the person who had entered the brothel.
"Why? Do you know him? "Liu Mang asked.
"Yes! Brother Wang, don't you know him? "Kuai Ran was confused." He's a scholar from the Lumen Academy! "
"Scholar?!" Liu Mang looked at Chen Ju and said.
"Brother Wang, look at the words above the brothel!" Kuai Ran pointed at the words above the brothel that read: Seeking Fang Elegant Scholar.
"That's what he said!"
Liu Mang looked at the words. He really was a scholar. Liu Mang was about to come up with an excuse when Kuai Ran thought of one for Liu Mang. "I've been drinking so much that I forgot that Brother Wang came back from his study trip! Chen Ju had only joined the Lumen Academy a few years ago. The reason why he was so famous was because he often spent time in brothels, reminiscing about the passing of spring and the passing of autumn. That was why he was known as a scholar in the Jing Province.
"Oh!" Liu Mang nodded and treated it as a joke. "Let's go!"
The three carriages brought Kuai Ran and the rest to the outer city. Kuai Liang's residence wasn't in the inner city of Xiangyang. It was in the outer city, so it took some time for the carriages to get there.
"Alright, all of the other girls are already taken. So, who will be the last barbarian princess? Who will be the one to take our title as the most popular courtesan in the world? Let's start! " In the brothel, Liu Mang's departure did not cause any delay. The bidding for the last courtesan began.
The Huang brothers sneered as they looked at the boiling crowd below from their Sky Room 10. The two brothers were determined to get this barbarian princess. Moreover, not only were they determined to get her, but they also needed someone else to pay for it.
Kuai Ran and Wang Shu, are you ready? Don't be poor when the time comes! Thinking about this, the two brothers started to laugh. Beside them was Chen Ju whom Liu Mang had just seen.
