Taiping Inn

Lu Yanbing has a strong rebellious mentality. Because of her senior brother Li Xuandu, she hates preaching. Because of her master, she hates being mysterious and confusing. She calls both of them "not speaking human language". Unfortunately, her master and senior brother are like two mountains pressing on her head. She can only listen submissively and dare not resist.

However, she does not hate the weirdness and harsh words of her second senior brother, so she would ridicule the two Confucian masters in the watchtower at this time.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the big figures of Qingwei Sect all have quirks. The old sect leader Li Xuandu is not polite to people, and his words are always veiled. Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu likes to be a teacher and likes to preach. Mr. Haishi Zhang Haishi has a weird temper, always speaks weirdly, and often mocks and exposes shortcomings. Mr. Wu Lu Yanbing sways with the wind, speaks without telling the truth. Mr. Liu Li Taiyi is arrogant and arrogant, and does not take others seriously.

After counting them, only Situ Xuance and Li Yuanying were relatively normal.

With such a sect, it is no wonder that they are called the weirdos of the East China Sea.

However, for a half-Confucian disciple like Zhang Baizhou, preaching is nothing, but it is strange for the elders not to preach or teach.

At this time, a manager of the brothel came over, and after looking at the two invitations in Lu Yanbing's hand, he led Lu Yanbing and Zhang Baizhou to their seats. The manager did not recognize Lu Yanbing, and was secretly shocked. In this business, he had seen people with their own women, but this woman brought a little white face to see other women for the first time. It was a bit like the style of women in the Mingkong Empress era.

The order of the positions is naturally very particular. Today, Master Hengbo is sitting in the main seat on the platform. The closer to her, the more expensive the position is, and the person must have a good status. It has been determined long ago. Lu Yanbing's post says "Jia Zi". "Jia" is the first row, "Yi" is the second row, and so on, which just makes up the ten heavenly stems. "Zi" is the first position from the right to the left in the first row. It can be considered an excellent position. As for how to distinguish the size of the position, it is simple. Each position is placed with a low table and a cushion, where you can sit cross-legged. On the low table are placed light-flavored wine and some fresh fruits grown in the fire room. The so-called "fire room" is to build a furnace and burn fire to increase the temperature, and grow out-of-season fruits. The price is extremely expensive. A cucumber costs two taels of silver, and only the rich can afford it.

As for the several princes that the manager of the academy had mentioned, they naturally could not show up in public. There were two-story watchtowers built around the platform, hidden behind the heavy lights. People sitting on the platform could not see the people in the watchtowers, but they could overlook the platform from the watchtowers.

However, even though Manchunyuan occupies a large area, the platform itself is already very wide, and there are various independent courtyards around it. There is not much space to build such a small watchtower, so at most, there are only four watchtowers, separated in four directions, and corridors are built between the watchtowers, leaving only one entrance and exit to the platform, making this open-air platform look like an extremely open patio.

At this time, other guests also came in one after another, and there were many acquaintances who greeted each other.

At this time, a man slowly walked over and stopped not far from Lu Yanbing, saying, "Commander Lu, long time no see."

Lu Yanbing looked up and saw an acquaintance, the commander of the Qingluan Guard Command Office, Ding Ce, who used to work with her. He was known as the "Great Thunder Hand" in the martial arts world. His cultivation was far superior to Lu Yanbing, but he did not have Lu Yanbing's backing, so when the two worked together, Lu Yanbing was more powerful.

Lu Yanbing smiled slightly, "How can you, a busy man, have the leisure to listen to music?"

Ding Ce laughed, "How can I miss the master's music? No matter how busy I am, I have to listen to it."

Lu Yanbing said, "I will take care of both public and private matters without delaying each other."

"Don't make fun of me, Governor Lu. I am not as good as Governor Lu. Everyone knows that Governor Lu has the protection of the Great Sword Immortal, the care of Mr. Qingping, and the help of Mr. Hai Shi. He is free, while I am in a cage and cannot be free." Ding Ce shook his head and said, "Today is just a break from the busy schedule. People are like bowstrings. If they are kept tight, they will break. They must be relaxed."

Lu Yanbing did not comment.

Ding Ce turned his gaze to Zhang Baizhou, who was sitting next to Lu Yanbing, and asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Baizhou lowered his head and did not look at Ding Ce.

Lu Yanbing said, "My junior brother."

"Junior brother?" Ding Ce said playfully, "I see."

Lu Yanbing remained calm, "Since you are here to listen to the music, and Miss Master is about to arrive, let's not reminisce about the past."

Ding Ce nodded and said, "Then we will talk about it another day."

After that, he turned and walked to his seat.

After Ding Ce left, Zhang Baizhou breathed a sigh of relief. The look Ding Ce gave him just now was as if it was real, and it made him tense up. After all, he was a genuine great master of the Heavenly Man Realm, and he was not someone Zhang Baizhou could match now.

After Ding Ce left, Lu Yanbing's face was a little gloomy, and it was obvious that Ding Ce had disturbed his good mood.

Not long after, other guests arrived one after another, most of them were young men, including Yang Tianfeng and others. It can be said that there are both young talents with a lot of talent and the devil who does evil things. The former loves talent and the latter loves sex, but they have an intersection here.

After the guests arrived one after another, the host finally arrived.

The master girl in green came slowly from the sky, like a fairy from heaven descending to the earth.

It is obvious that this young lady has some cultivation skills, and unlike the disciples of the female sect, she is not afraid to show them in front of others, which shows that the young lady's cultivation skills are fair and square, and will not be suspected by others.

Lu Yanbing said softly: "The skills of the Confucian sect, it seems that these Confucianists really treat her as their own and teach her everything."

Zhang Baizhou was a little disapproving, and felt that these Confucianists were full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and what Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue, and what to keep the heavenly principles and eliminate human desires, but privately they were full of thieves and prostitutes. He had heard of similar legends before. A Neo-Confucian master once boasted that "there are prostitutes in my eyes, but no prostitutes in my heart". His friend took advantage of his drunkenness to invite a famous prostitute to take off her clothes and share the bed with him to test whether he really had the ability of Liuxia Hui. The prostitute did not resist at all, and happily went to him, took off all her underwear, and even took off all her clothes, and locked the door casually. Although the Neo-Confucian scholar was not fooled and was blameless, the whole thing was full of "absurdity". The famous scholars and prostitutes were not as elegant as those in the storybooks.

Zhang Baizhou did not oppose the affairs between men and women, but he hated these people who did absurd things and wanted to build a memorial archway. It was like a rat shit spoiling the whole pot of porridge. A good Neo-Confucian scholar was dragged into such a vulgar and absurd story by these people. If the Neo-Confucian scholar recognized the wrong person when he was drunk, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?

However, Zhang Baizhou thought so. After all, he was a young man and did not have such profound concentration. He could not help but look at the first courtesan in the imperial capital.

After the teacher girl landed gracefully, she bowed to the surroundings.

She was dignified and elegant, with outstanding demeanor, hair like clouds, peach blossoms on her face, slender and thin, and a light waist. She was really a stunning beauty.

Shi Hengbo sat cross-legged on a table that had been prepared long ago, and without saying much, he began to play the piano.

At this moment, Zhang Baizhou suddenly felt a gaze always on him. He followed that gaze and found that the person who was looking at him was the one who had just talked to Lu Yanbing.

At this time, everyone actually sat in a semicircle around Shi Hengbo. They were in the same row but not in a straight line. Some people could see Shi Hengbo's front, and some could see her profile. Ding Ce was also in the first row, just opposite Zhang Baizhou, and the two could see each other.

When their eyes met, Ding Ce smiled, raised the wine glass in his hand, and then slowly drank the wine in the glass.

In Zhang Baizhou's eyes, he felt that this person's smile and eyes were very gloomy, as if he was looking at a prey.

Zhang Baizhou couldn't help but whisper to Lu Yanbing beside him: "Sister Lu, who was the person who just spoke to you?"

Lu Yanbing said casually: "He is Ding Ce, the governor of Qingluan Guard, and the loyal lackey of the Queen Mother."

Zhang Baizhou was stunned for a moment, and asked word by word after a moment: "Ding Ce?"

"Yes, Ding Ce, who is known as the 'Big Thunder Hand' in the Jianghu." Lu Yanbing's eyes were still on Shi Hengbo, and she didn't look at Zhang Baizhou.

In an instant, Zhang Baizhou's eyes were red, and his fists on his knees were clenched tightly, so that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

Lu Yanbing also noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Baizhou, and turned to look at him, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Baizhou half lowered his head, and his whole body trembled slightly, as if he squeezed out a word from his teeth, "Back then, the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office sent troops to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion for ten days, starving everyone in the mansion to death. Was it him who did it?"

Lu Yanbing immediately understood what Zhang Baizhou meant, stretched out his hand to set up a soundproof ban, and lowered his voice, "So what if he did it? Do you still want revenge? He is a master of the Heavenly Man Wuliang Realm. Not to mention you, even I am not his opponent! If you seek revenge on him now, he can crush you to death with one hand."

Zhang Baizhou gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Lu Yanbing sighed and said softly, "I know your pain, but you have to know where this place is. So many dignitaries from the imperial capital are here today. What will happen if your identity is exposed? Remember what I said, it is never too late for us gentlemen to take revenge."

Zhang Baizhou slowly turned his head to look at Lu Yanbing. After a long while, he nodded with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "I... listen to Sister Lu."

Lu Yanbing had a little smile on her face, "This is my good brother. Don't worry, he can't run away. We just wait for our senior brother to enter the capital."

However, Zhang Baizhou's abnormality also fell into Ding Ce's eyes. He was an old man in the Qingluan Guard. He didn't know how many major cases he had handled. Naturally, he noticed something wrong. His eyes became more gloomy and he frowned slightly.
