His voice was loud and clear. The moment the name 'Pillar of the State General' was announced, it immediately produced a miraculous effect. The clamoring crowd immediately quietened down. "Shua!" Everyone turned their heads to look in one direction. Becoming the center of attention, Shi Xiaotian was momentarily stunned. He never expected Yue Qianchou to make such a move.
At the entrance of the 'Thousand Flower Brothel', the military officer holding the saber by his waist looked over in shock. Yue Qianchou, who was dressed as a house servant, was naturally unable to attract his attention. Seeing Shi Xiaotian in his luxurious robes, he was a little shocked. As the third young master of the Pillar of the State General's residence, although Shi Xiaotian rarely appeared in public, he had still seen him on a few occasions.
As a soldier, the Pillar of the State General who had been fighting at the western borders for many years was undoubtedly the idol of the entire Hua Xia Empire. He also had a very high prestige among the citizens of the empire. Especially last year, when the General's 2,000,000 soldiers split into six groups and defeated the six countries, forcing the six countries to sign an armistice, it pushed the reputation of the Pillar of the State General to the peak. In their hearts, the Pillar of the State General was the guardian of the Hua Xia Empire.
"Out of the way!" The military officer shouted excitedly. The citizens also had a look of surprise on their faces as they squeezed to the side, afraid to block Shi Xiaotian's path. The military officer waved his hand, and the soldiers guarding the 'Thousand Flower Brothel' immediately split into two groups, rushing into the path that the citizens had vacated. They lined up neatly on both sides of the path. The military officer strode towards Shi Xiaotian and waved his hand to open his cloak. Holding the saber in his hand, he knelt down on one knee and said in a clear voice, "This general is the city guard patrol commander Yuan Fei. Greetings, Third Young Master."
"Greetings, Third Young Master!" The two rows of guards and the guards of the 'Thousand Flower Brothel' all knelt down in unison. It was unknown which citizen knelt down first, but the citizens of the entire street all knelt down with difficulty. Because it was simply too crowded, they all shouted, "This humble citizen greets Third Young Master … This humble citizen greets Third Young Master …" Their shouts rang out one after another, and it was clear that they were all heartfelt respect.
Shi Xiaotian was a little embarrassed. Coming to a brothel in the name of the National Pillar General's residence was not something to be proud of. Yue Qianchou was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the Pillar of the State General to have such high prestige among the soldiers and citizens. He couldn't help but feel regret for his actions earlier. To have caused the citizens to love the Pillar of the State General in such a manner …. His conscience really couldn't be justified. After all, he was a soldier in his previous life. To be able to command such respect from the citizens, it was impossible to do so without experiencing a thousand miles of bloodshed. Yue Qianchou was truly ashamed to have tarnished the reputation of a general like this.
The nobles and the rich who had entered the Ten Thousand Flower House were also shocked by the continuous shouts outside. Third Young Master? Which family's Third Young Master had come to cause such a big commotion? They sent their servants to the door to inquire. All the soldiers and civilians on the street knelt down. Only the two young men dressed as a master and a servant stood out, making the servants speechless.
At this moment, Shi Xiaotian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yue Qianchou with a little complaint. The latter smiled awkwardly. Shi Xiaotian circulated his True Yuan and said loudly, "My fellow citizens, please get up! I, Shi Xiaotian, am not worthy of such a big greeting. "His voice surged through the entire street, drowning out everyone's greetings.
The soldiers and commoners were shocked. What a loud voice! As expected of the son of the National Pillar General. Like father, like son! Everyone thanked him and said, "Thank you, Third Young Master!" They got up with difficulty.
"Commander Yuan, please get up." Shi Xiaotian reached out to help Yuan Fei up. When the latter heard the former's loud voice and saw him coming to help him up, his competitive spirit was secretly aroused. He wanted to see if he had real skills or was just using his voice to scare people. Who knew that he didn't even have the strength to resist and was lifted up just like that. Yuan Fei couldn't help but be shocked. What great strength! His gaze swept past the sword hanging on Shi Xiaotian's waist. No wonder he was brought up in such a manner!
Seeing their commander stand up, the soldiers also stood up. Yuan Fei waved his hand and said, "Third Young Master, please!"
"You're welcome!" Shi Xiaotian cupped his hands and walked forward under Yuan Fei's lead. Yue Qianchou followed behind dejectedly. Stepping into the Myriad Flower House, Yuan Fei stayed outside to continue guarding while the pimp led the master and servant in.
The lanterns were lit and the Myriad Flower House was filled with guests. Alluring women were walking around with plates of fruits, wine and all kinds of delicacies. Hearing that the Third Young Master of the National Pillar General's Residence had arrived, the nobles who were already seated gathered downstairs to greet him. In terms of status and rank, there was no need to greet him. Many of the nobles had a higher rank than the National Pillar General. However, he was the one who held the strongest military power in the empire. He was someone who could make the entire Hua Xia Empire tremble with a stomp of his foot. He was much stronger than those nobles who only had titles in name only.
Shi Xiaotian gracefully greeted the crowd. One moment it was that little prince, the next moment it was this little prince. Shi Xiaotian handled the situation with ease. Yue Qianchou nodded to himself. As expected of someone from the upper class. Today, he had finally witnessed the power of the National Pillar General's Residence. He had a new plan in mind.
They were in an enclosure, with a big performance stage in the middle. There were two levels of seats for spectators. The upper level was an open single room, while the lower level was a circle of single-table banquets. This should be the place where the Courtesan Belle would sing and dance tonight to celebrate peace and prosperity. Shi Xiaotian arrived late. The single room upstairs had already been occupied. However, there was no need to worry. Naturally, there were people who knew their place and left one for him.
The two of them were in a single room on the second floor, one sitting and one standing. The one standing behind Shi Xiaotian was, of course, Yue Qianchou. A servant couldn't possibly sit with his master in public, could he? Wanhua Lou had arranged for some prostitutes to come over. However, Yue Qianchou felt that they were too unattractive. He found an excuse that the Third Young Master didn't want to be disturbed and chased them out. He was used to seeing beauties in the Cultivation World. Naturally, he wasn't interested in the so-called beauties here. If it wasn't for the fact that he still wanted to see the courtesan that everyone was fighting for, he might have turned around and left.
Soon, the performance on the central stage began. For a moment, the sound of zither, flute, and drums rang out. More than a dozen graceful women danced gracefully, causing the crowd to cheer. Yue Qianchou originally thought that they were going to do a striptease or something. Who knew that after wandering around for a long time, there wasn't anything interesting at all. One group after another went down, and another group changed into different styles. They didn't have the awareness of a brothel at all. He really didn't understand why those princes and nobles were cheering. Yue Qianchou wished that he could throw a grenade down and let those women who were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws quickly get off the stage. He wanted that courtesan to come up and take a look as soon as possible. If she didn't look good, then they should leave as soon as possible to avoid wasting time. This brothel was too boring!
The music played by those musicians didn't have any passion at all. When it fell into his ears, it was like a lullaby. It made him sleepy and yawn repeatedly. After an unknown amount of time, just as he was in a semi-conscious state, the commotion around him woke him up. The lonely and light sound of the zither entered his ears, and it was quite refreshing. When he looked again, the surrounding princes and nobles were all leaning against the railings to watch.
"The courtesan is coming out!" Shi Xiaotian said softly. He also walked to the railings to watch. Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up. He had been waiting for the stars and the moon. Finally, it was here. He also followed.
In the depths of the lanterns, a figure dressed in a light gauze and thin red palace dress leisurely walked over. A long white jade hairpin was inserted into her jet-black hair bun. The two ends of the hairpin were pulled up by a red veil that covered her face. Her pretty face was faintly discernible. It was hard to see clearly, but it was exceptionally alluring. Her white and tender lily-white hands were hugging a plain zither. One side of her ample chest was lightly pressed against it, making the other side even more abruptly perky. The red veil covered her perky buttocks, trying to cover her slender jade legs. However, the boundless spring scenery was always inadvertently revealed when her jade legs strode forward.
The beauty dressed in red lightly walked onto the stage. She put down the jade zither on the table that had already been set up by someone. She nodded slightly to the surrounding people and then sat down peacefully. The red veil on both sides of her buttocks was quietly pulled open, revealing her white and tender thighs.
"Good!" Someone clapped and shouted. Immediately, it caused a loud commotion. Everyone agreed one after another. Yue Qianchou finally became spirited. He clapped with all his might. Damn it! He finally saw someone who was pleasing to the eye. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, just based on her figure alone, it was already top-notch! The single room for the two of them was in a good position. The courtesan happened to be facing the two of them, so they could slowly admire her.
Ten jade-like fingers pressed down on the strings of the zither, gently evoking a quiet and exquisite sound. The surroundings immediately quietened down. Yue Qianchou nodded. At first, he sounded a little sad, but it was still a little interesting. At least he was able to continue listening. The sound of the zither reverberated faintly. The face under the red veil suddenly sang softly, "I am a fox that has cultivated for a thousand years. A thousand years of cultivation, a thousand years of loneliness …"
"Uh …" The smile on Yue Qianchou's face instantly froze. Then, it started to twitch …
