The cautious Eunuch Ma was still slightly worried, but the carefree Eunuch Song was already shouting, "Let's drink, let's drink! Brother Qian, later, you have to try the Ripe Flower Wine from our hometown. I've missed that taste for half my life! "
The six jars of wine that were renowned throughout the court were quickly brought up. The young waiter who had been rewarded even took the initiative to bring two more jars of first-rate Green Ant Wine from the restaurant. In any case, he was being generous and did not feel any pain.
Compared to the carefree Head Seal Eunuch Liu and the carefree Head Seal Eunuch Song, Commander Qian of the Imperial Army, who had been through the battlefields of the jianghu, was more calculative. In the end, he had the safety of the three elders of the Directorate of Credentials on his shoulders. On a smaller scale, if any of the old eunuchs qualified to wear the official robes made a mistake, then his officialdom in Great Peace City would come to an end. On a larger scale, if a storm that could not be suppressed appeared, he, the Qian family, and even the benefactor behind him would not be able to bear the consequences. Therefore, this seemingly impromptu drinking session, this commander, who had a golden saber bestowed by the imperial family, had been observing his surroundings the entire time. For example, after they reached the third floor, although there were screens on all four sides of each private room, there was still enough space between the screens. The two tables near the stairs were not out of the ordinary. They looked like regular drinkers, and there were even young beauties who smelled of prostitution accompanying them. They were clearly prostitutes from the brothel next door. However, to their left and right, as well as across from them, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers. To the left of Head Seal Eunuch Liu, there was a table separated by a Shu embroidered screen. There were four people sitting there, all of whom had powerful auras. One of them was a young woman with outstanding looks, especially the middle-aged man across from her who had one hand on the hilt of his saber even as he raised his cup and drank. His aura was vigorous. Even though he had only glanced over at the time, this bladesman, whose back was facing him at the time, had instantly reacted subtly. Although he did not turn around or draw his saber, the hand under the table clearly changed from caressing the hilt of his saber to tightly clenching his fist. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Commander Qian simply gave up on sizing up the other two men.
On the other side of the jade screen to Eunuch Liu's right, there were six men and three women at the table. There was a great disparity in age and weapons of all kinds. They were either generously placed on the table or hung on a wooden rack, as if they were a group of Jianghu allies. Most of them were there to accumulate reputation and experience for the younger disciples of their sects. This was not uncommon in the Jianghu of the Central Plains. Their conversation was mostly about interesting Jianghu stories. At this moment, they were talking about the deeds of the leader of the Purple Dress Alliance in Mount Hui. They were talking about the rumor that had spread like wildfire. On a snowy night at the end of winter last year, Xuanyuan Qingfeng had comprehended immortality by watching the snow on the cliff of Great Snow Plateau. Commander Qian felt relieved.
What truly troubled him was the table opposite Eunuch Liu. This was also the real reason why Commander Qian chose to sit opposite Eunuch Liu. Separated by two screens and twenty steps away, a middle-aged couple sat at the table. The man had the aura of a battlefield that Commander Qian could not be more familiar with. However, he only saw a woman with a gloomy side profile. Her looks were average, but her aura was extremely cold and fierce. She gave off a wild aura that was completely different from the ordinary experts of the Jianghu sects. The latter usually fought to learn from each other, only for the sake of reputation, but she fought to the death, only for the sake of killing.
Halfway through the wine, another two groups of people came up at the same time. The first group to arrive was really coincidental. It was the Jianghu young heroes and women who flew past the small crossing of Dragon Steed River. However, for some reason, their expressions were complicated. There was respect and excitement, as if they had seen ghosts in the day. What was strange was that these young people had all changed their clothes. Did they need to bathe and change clothes just to drink? Commander Qian, who had Master Realm cultivation, measured their strength. Although he felt that it was a little weird, he didn't think too much about it. Although he knew that it would be difficult for him to reach First Grade Vajra Realm, he didn't dare to say that he was invincible among Second Grade Masters, especially those Jianghu Martial Masters who didn't fight on the battlefield. However, as long as it was a fight, he was confident that he would be the only one who would survive. It must be known that even the world's number one bladesmanship master, Gu Jiantang, had admired the bladesmanship of a mere Commandant of the Palace Guards. If he had not been promoted to Deputy Commander by the court, perhaps he would have followed Gu Jiantang to the Liao and returned to the battlefield at the border.
As for the second group of people, there were three men and two women. The young man in the lead had the air of a young hero from the pugilistic world who wanted the entire world to know about him. He wasn't worthy of Commander Qian's attention. But the next four people made him tremble in fear. The blind woman beside the 'young hero' held a zither, and behind her was a middle-aged man with a sword case on his back. His sword energy was extremely heavy, but this was under the premise that he was deliberately suppressing it! Behind him, a man and woman who looked like husband and wife walked side by side. The young woman was very eye-catching, with a voluptuous and enchanting figure. She was wearing colorful tie-dyed clothes, with a string of small and exquisite silver bells hanging on her hands and feet. The bells rang before she showed up, and there was a snow-white curved short knife in a slanted scabbard hanging on her waist. Commander Qian, who had extremely high standards, could tell at a glance that this was the attire of the Miao people from the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southwest. She was holding the arm of the short man beside her, with an undisguised look of pride in her eyes, as if her man was the top hero in the world. Under her contrast, the originally inconspicuous middle-aged man stood out like a crane among chickens. He was wearing a linen short-sleeved shirt, a green headscarf wrapped around his head, and a white cloth wrapped around his calves.
Before one wave calmed down, another wave came. Commander Qian's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
In less than half a glass of wine, another young woman, who was surrounded by a myriad of stars, came to the second floor. She was followed by four people who looked like retainers.
Commander Qian's face turned green after he retracted his gaze. What status did this woman have to hire four top experts who were at least at the second grade master level?
Just like that, a small restaurant suddenly became a place where experts were as common as dogs on the street.
Even Commander Qian, who was used to seeing big waves, started to sweat.
Eunuch Liu asked calmly, "Is there trouble?"
Commander Qian smiled bitterly, "Not necessarily, but as long as there is a conflict, it will definitely be a huge problem. Maybe even one or two thousand cavalry won't be able to solve it. "
Eunuch Liu waved his hand and smiled, "As long as this is Beiliang, it's enough."
At that moment, Commander Qian finally had a whole new level of respect for this head eunuch of the Directorate of Ribbon Sealing.
Outside the restaurant where all kinds of fish and dragons gathered, a young man with a sword and a horse suddenly stopped on the street.
When he stopped, the procuress at the entrance of the brothel saw his appearance clearly. Her eyes immediately lit up, and the two gorgeously dressed girls beside her wished they could pounce on the handsome guy who was still rolling up his sleeves and swallow him whole on the spot.
The young man who was in a daze didn't seem to hear what the procuress was saying. He allowed her to pull his arm and drag him towards the brothel.
He only remembered many years ago when he, Li Hanlin, Yan Chiji, and Kong Zhenrong drank wine together. At that time, it was always Li Hanlin who paid for it. He stole the money from his stingy father in Beiliang. Every time, it was like he was going to the execution ground the next day after having fun. At that time, Yan Chiji, who had been given the nickname "Eating Chicken Yan", couldn't let go of himself. No matter how many girls were around him, it always seemed like he was being taken advantage of. And Kong Wuchi, that big idiot, every time he went to the brothel, it was to save the poor. As soon as he entered the door, he would say, "Whichever girl in the brothel hasn't had a customer for the longest time, I'll order her!" So every time Kong Wuchi was there, the most beautiful girl and the ugliest girl in the brothel would appear at the same time.
The young man finally came back to his senses and asked with a smile, "His Royal Highness is drinking wine with girls. Can I not pay?"
The procuress whose chest was trembling was overjoyed and replied, "This young man really likes to joke. Even if the prince came, he would have to pay!"
The young man who had been dragged a few steps stopped. He still held the horse with one hand and said with a bitter face, "Then I won't enter the brothel."
The old brothel woman glared at him, "Young man, you're not being honest. You dare to walk on the street with this kind of sword. Do you think you don't have money? I can promise you that even if I don't have a single copper coin on me, it's fine. I'll owe you! "
Just as the young noblemen seemed to be in a dilemma, an ordinary-looking man suddenly appeared beside them. Trying his best to conceal the excitement in his voice, he lowered his voice and said, "Second-class room, Earth number 16, I have something to report."
The young man nodded and silently broke free from the arms of the three brothel girls. He smiled apologetically at them and then led the horse forward.
The young man turned to look at the elite spy from the Whisk Room, whose eyes were burning. "Is there an emergency?"
The latter said in a low voice, "I just discovered that someone tried to assassinate three eunuchs from the Directorate of Credentials. If I hadn't discovered the prince's whereabouts and acted on my own initiative, I would have already used the Green Horse Relay's secret military seal and moved the garrison into the city."
Speaking of this, this spy, who had a high position in the Whisk Room in Beiliang, lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, prince!"
The young man joked, "No wonder you're from the Whisk Room. You're the same as Chu Lushan. Why are you asking for forgiveness? It's more like you're asking for credit."
The spy from the Whisk Room, who was in charge of the intelligence of Beian Town, was obviously at a loss. After a moment of distraction, he hurriedly reported the situation to the young man who was leading the horse in detail.
The young man was the young King, Hsu Fengnian. After listening, he nodded. "You don't have to intervene in this matter. This King will handle it himself."
Just as the spy was about to accept the order and turn to leave, Hsu Fengnian said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
The spy from the Whisk Room was stunned. He wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he didn't say anything. He grinned and then left silently.
Hsu Fengnian led the horse slowly to the brothel.
