Xu Qi'an took a sip of wine, put down the glass, looked around at the beauties, and said in a casual tone, "When I accompanied Princess Huaiqing to the banquet that day, I was inspired, so I wrote this poem."
His tone was relaxed and straightforward, as if this was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, but the few courtesans felt their hearts palpitate when they heard it.
"It's him …" Aya, whose guess was confirmed, had a natural feeling at this moment, as if it was supposed to be so.
Daibun had no poems for a long time, and Princess Huaiqing had no good works before, so it was abnormal that she suddenly had one.
It was just that when they heard the news, they couldn't connect it with Xu Qi'an. When they heard what he just said, they thought of his identity as a night watchman and his extraordinary poetic talent, so they boldly tested it, and they didn't expect that they really guessed it.
Now, the Musical House didn't know who this poem came from, and there were countless people outside who were curious. Just this piece of news alone was enough to stir up a lot of gossip.
"Xu …" Floating Incense gazed at him affectionately, her eyes charming. For her, who loved poetry, this was more attractive than any sweet words.
Other Top Courtesans, in addition to being amazed by Xu Qi'an's poetic talent, had another thing that made their hearts beat faster, faintly surpassing the poem itself.
… He could actually enter the imperial city and attend the banquet of the princes and princesses.
This meant that Xu Qi'an was a confidant of some princes and princesses, or he would not have been taken to the banquet. In this way, his value wasn't just limited to his poems.
He was handsome, a night watchman, and had power … Of course, the Top Courtesans were used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The power of the night watchman was nothing, but what if this night watchman had the talent to look down on the scholars, and what if this night watchman was valued by some princes and princesses?
These halos added up would be more attractive than being a concubine of those old men.
"We can't let Floating Incense take advantage of us. We have to snatch him … Now Floating Incense is already the number one Top Courtesan of the Musical House. If she gets another poem, our sisters will never have a chance to stand out …"
Thinking of this, the smiles of the Top Courtesans became more and more sincere. They all wanted to say something but stopped, and their affectionate eyes seduced Xu Qi'an.
The atmosphere in the reception hall instantly heated up.
After the drinking game, under the influence of alcohol, the Top Courtesans played the finger-guessing game, rolling up their sleeves, revealing their white and slender arms and delicate fists.
The main thing was that Xu Qi'an didn't mind, which gave them courage.
…
It was getting dark, and there were more and more customers in the Musical House. Then, he noticed a very strange thing.
Today, many of the courtesans had closed their doors and refused to serve tea.
Someone indignantly went to look for the brothel keeper. The brothel keeper thought to herself, "Are these ladies rebelling? How are they going to earn money if they don't open a shop?"
Then he asked someone to inquire about it. Only after asking did he know that those top courtesans who declined guests all went to Qingchi Courtyard. There were eight of them in total. That was to say, there were nine courtesans in Qingchi Courtyard.
"What's going on?"
"Judging from their voices … they seem to be very happy. Who are they entertaining?"
… They … They … They … They … They … They … They … They … They … Who would be stupid enough to hand over their weakness to the enemy? "
"Maybe they're just playing together."
"Don't guess. Let's just go and ask."
A guest knocked on the gate of the Green Pond Courtyard. The gatekeeper, Little Cyan Yi, opened the gate and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
At the gate of the Green Pond Courtyard, there were more than a dozen guests.
A luxuriously dressed young man looked at the courtyard and asked in a deep voice, "What are the ladies doing inside?"
"They are entertaining guests," Little Cyan Yi said.
The gate of the courtyard suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds, someone said with a strange face, "Who, who is inside … If it's not convenient to disclose, forget it."
Little Cyan Yi thought for a moment. The guest in the courtyard was Prince Xu, not the big shot that the guests thought. He didn't think there was anything to hide, so he said frankly,
"It's not what you think. The guest inside is Prince Xu."
"Prince Xu?"
Everyone looked at each other and searched for a while in their minds, but they couldn't find the right person.
"Is there any noble or high official surnamed Xu in this dynasty?"
The young man who knocked on the door frowned and said, "That Prince Xu?"
"Xu Qi'an, the Xu Qi'an Prince Xu who wrote the incense." Little Cyan Yi said. He was in a good mood after being rewarded with three taels of silver. This was all thanks to Prince Xu, and he was happy to make a name for him.
"It's him?"
At the scene, the eyes of several scholars were shining.
"Let's wait here. Maybe we can wait for a poem to come out."
As soon as these words came out, the people who were originally angry and jealous also suppressed their emotions. Everyone present was a person of status. Even if they were merchants, they still had a heart of elegance.
"How elegant it is to be served by nine top courtesans. None of the previous top scholars had such treatment."
"The top scholars don't dare to be so extravagant and pompous."
…
"Ding ding ding …"
In the crisp sound, a few arrows without arrowheads fell accurately into the pot 30 feet away.
Blindfolded, Xu Qi'an, with his back turned, took off the cloth strips and laughed loudly. He hugged the two top courtesans, Little Ya and Ming Yan, and kissed their faces.
After he was done, Xu Qi'an patted their buttocks and said, "You lost the bet. Drink, drink."
The two top courtesans twisted their waists and said coquettishly that he was annoying while raising their cups and drinking.
"I don't want to play anymore. It's too lonely to be invincible." Xu Qi'an pushed the two courtesans away and said, "Ladies, wait here. I'll go out for a while and come back to fight with you for 300 rounds."
He touched his stomach, indicating that he was going to the toilet.
The group of courtesans shouted from behind, "Sir, go and come back quickly."
After leaving the room and closing the door, the cold wind blew in his face. Xu Qi'an restrained his pompous expression and gently exhaled.
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He lightly jumped onto the wall, tore off a page of the Qi Observation Technique, and ignited it with his Qi.
"Swish ~"
He looked up at the sky, and two beams of Light pierced the night sky in his eyes. Then he restrained himself, and the Light gathered in his pupils.
Xu Qi'an came to the Musical House for another purpose, which was to observe the fate here at a close distance and search for demon aura.
Heng Hui had shown up and killed people twice in the inner city. He didn't believe that there were no demons lurking in the city.
"Heng Hui is obviously a knife of the demon race. They are using him to achieve some purpose. The demon race has painstakingly released the sealed objects, so they will never let Heng Hui do whatever he wants … If it were me, I would definitely keep an eye on Heng Hui … Last time I observed demon aura in the Musical House, it was just an accident. If not, then the Musical House is very likely to be one of the strongholds of the demon race. "
Xu Qi'an's eyes were filled with clear Qi. He slowly glanced at every corner of the Musical House and saw all kinds of fate, but found no abnormality.
Finally, he turned his eyes to the Green Pool Courtyard in front of him and the izakaya where the top courtesans were.
A wisp of turquoise demon aura was curling up like smoke.
"F * ck …" Xu Qi'an almost couldn't help swearing. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
"The demon race is in the house?
And she just drank with me? "
He had the horror of a protagonist in a horror story who stayed overnight in the mountains and was warmly entertained, but woke up the next day and found himself in a barren cemetery.
"Which one is the demon race … Is it one of the top courtesans or a maid? Anyway, it can't be Floating Fragrance. I have slept with her so many times, so she can't be a demon race … And that day when I observed the demon aura, I already saw her. "
Xu Qi'an silently jumped off the wall and tiptoed to the izakaya. The door of the izakaya was not closed tightly, so he looked inside through the crack of the door.
He saw a woman overflowing with turquoise demon aura. She was not one of the top courtesans, but the personal maid of Top Courtesan Ming Yan.
"It's her …" Xu Qi'an instantly thought, "Why didn't I find her when I observed the demon aura last time when I led Song Tingfeng and others to play group sports?
What method did she use to hide the demon aura at that time … What is her purpose of lurking around Ming Yan … Well, Ming Yan may not be innocent, and he may be an accomplice of the demon race … So, she sent someone to invite me as soon as I entered the Musical House. She didn't just want to curry favor with me. "
Xu Qi'an immediately made a decision. He once again jumped over the wall and left the Green Pool Courtyard, heading straight for the small courtyard where Song Tingfeng was.
When he used the Qi-watching Skill to observe just now, he remembered the position of Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.
Jumping over the wall, he ignored the surprised questions of the maids and broke in all the way. At the door of the master bedroom, he heard the sound of Old Song's liquid transmission.
The sound in the room suddenly stopped, and then it was Song Tingfeng's vigilant voice. "Who is it?"
"It's me." Xu Qi'an patted the door. "Come out, it's urgent."
Song Tingfeng cursed, and then there was the rustling sound of dressing. After a while, he opened the door and came out in disheveled clothes.
"Old Song, go back to the yamen immediately and inform Jinluo, who is on duty, to come to the Musical House in person and tell him that there are demons in the Green Pool Courtyard."
Xu Qi'an made a long story short. "Remember, you must let Jinluo come here. I don't know the Qi-watching Skill very well, so I can't figure out their strength. There are nine Top Courtesans in the Green Pool Courtyard, and they are all sheep without the ability to protect themselves. By the way, if the one on duty is surnamed Zhu, you can go to the Celestial Commissioner to find Song Qing. "
He didn't say anything superfluous. He believed that as long as Song Tingfeng told the truth, Jinluo would know what to do with his rich experience.
Song Tingfeng's face became more and more serious, and his dissatisfaction and annoyance just now disappeared. He went back to the room to take his saber and gong, and rushed out of the courtyard while tying the magic weapons.
Xu Qi'an quickly returned to the Green Pool Courtyard, with a frivolous smile on his lips. With a playful expression, he pushed the door open and said with a smile,
"Beauties, I'm back."
He just glanced at the submissive female demon who was pouring wine for his wife out of the corner of his eye, and then immediately moved his eyes away.
Not knowing the strength of the other party, Xu Qi'an didn't dare to take action without authorization. It was not important to let the other party run away, but he didn't want to see the innocent Top Courtesans hurt.
Next, he would eat, drink, and touch whatever he wanted to touch.
Xu Qi'an and the Top Courtesans played drinking games, played drinking games, and threw dice. They had a great time.
Whose buttocks were rounder, whose breasts were softer, whose waists were the thinnest, and who was made of water … were all clear.
But Xu Qi'an was not happy, but a little anxious. He waited for an hour, but Song Tingfeng hadn't returned yet.
At this time, the female demon looked up, glanced at Xu Qi'an, and said softly, "It's late. Ladies, go back early. Will Prince Xu stay with my wife tonight?"
