Chapter 34: Beauty Manor

"Master, we have arrived at San Gucheng."

Despite being whipped a lot in the past few days, Ruyan remained loyal to her duties. For Ruyan, it was a great fortune to be conquered by Wu Ming.

Even though she knew that her position in Wu Ming's heart could never compare to Jing Wei, she was still grateful. Wu Ming had only three tricks to win people's hearts: hit them with a stick, keep hitting them with a stick, and then give them a sweet date.

The so-called hitting with a stick naturally refers to the use of force to deter; as for hitting with a stick all the time, it can be translated as hitting with a stick all the time. Ruyan suffered a lot while rushing on the road these two days. As for Jingwei, he couldn't let go when there were people around, Wu Mingze had no intention of forcing him. This is why she feels that she will never be as good as Jingwei.

As for the sweet treat, Wu Ming arranged for Tang Chou and Zi Nu to help her research an antidote to solve the drawbacks of illusions. The two poison masters worked together and have already seen results.

After three sets of combined punches, Ruyan just wanted to turn herself into a tireless juicer, hanging on the gun barrel every minute and every second.

Sangucheng is a small town, but it is a very lively one.

Most of the people coming and going are wealthy men from all walks of life, as well as merchants from various countries. Yes, they are from all countries, such as the Northern Mang, the Mongols, the Turks, and Java. This place has everything.

Sangucheng was not originally a city, but due to commercial needs, it developed from a small market into a city, and the people who contributed the most were the merchants.

Sangu City now belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the people stationed there are naturally Tang Dynasty troops. However, the only role of the army in Sangu City is to maintain order.

Normally, a city fee is charged to enter the city, but no one dared to stop Wu Ming's carriage. The guards could recognize this iconic carriage at a glance, not to mention the inner guards driving the carriage, who had already shown their tokens.

The carriage traveled smoothly all the way and finally stopped outside the Beauty Manor in Sangu City.

Such an iconic carriage caught the attention of many people as soon as it entered the city. Wu Ming had no intention of hiding it and he went wherever there was a lot of activity.

He is the one who is parading around in public.

There are advantages to being ostentatious. At least if Xu Weixiong is smart, he will come to the door himself soon.

Is Xu Weixiong smart? Of course she is smart. There are women in the world who are smarter than her, but there are definitely not many.

The carriage stopped, and two women got off first. One was charming and seductive, with a pear on her chest as big as a mountain. The other was cold and extraordinary. Just by looking at her attire, you could tell she was a master. Such attire was definitely the most suitable for fighting.

When seeing the first woman, any man would be tempted to get close to her. When seeing the second woman, most men would wish they had two more legs so they could run faster than others.

There is an iron rule when escaping from the underworld: you can run slowly, but you cannot run the slowest. If you don't overtake one person, you have one more chance of survival.

Don't be the fastest one, because you might attract an expert. Don't be the slowest one, because although you won't offend an expert, you are the last one, so if you don't die, no one will.

So many times, the one who survives is often the one running in the middle.

Of course, there is another way to break the deadlock, that is to have strong strength, so that you don’t have to run, not only don’t have to run, you can also turn around and fight back.

Meiren Manor is a brothel. If it weren’t for being a brothel, it would be unworthy of the name. Besides being a brothel, it is also the largest gambling house in San Gu City.

The people who gamble here are all wealthy businessmen. Because they come from various countries, the money they gamble is not coins, but baskets of pearls.

They don't even recognize the Tang Dynasty's banknotes. Wu Ming just wants to say that this situation occurred because the Tang Dynasty did not fight hard enough. If it had been more ruthless and wiped out these small countries, there wouldn't be as much trouble as it is now.

Most people only dared to observe from a distance. After the two women got off the car, they did not leave. Instead, one was responsible for holding up the curtain, and the other was responsible for placing the stool to assist in getting off the car.

After seeing this scene, they knew that there was someone else in the carriage, someone with a higher status than these two women.

Soon they saw a man in black show up. Wu Ming admitted that he was a vain man. Although she had hands and feet, it felt really good to be served by others.

For example, after a man releases, he cleans himself up, which is always many levels better than the soft little tongue of a beauty. You can't deny that it is a way to feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

Wu Ming stepped off the carriage on a horse stool. He was wearing sturdy official boots, a black warrior uniform with mysterious patterns outlined in silver thread, a fu hat on his head and a cloak with a stand-up collar behind him.

Apart from his tall stature, he seemed quite friendly at first glance. Ruyan sighed inwardly that the master's smile was too deceptive.

Wu Ming really didn't know what she was thinking. If he knew, he would seriously correct her. He was an amiable person. Only by being amiable can girls let down their guard, making it easier to succeed and save more money in system rewards.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Ming discovered that he was not only vain, but also a little hypocritical.

"Let's go and see what makes the beauties in this Beauty Manor so beautiful." Wu Ming looked at the huge Beauty Manor in front of him with curiosity. This place looked more magnificent than the Zi Lan Xuan in Chang'an. Its area was three times that of the Zi Lan Xuan.

However, Chang'an is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. To open a Zi Lan Xuan there, one needs more than just money. Strength, power, and money are all indispensable.

The most important thing is power. Powerful people in this world rarely lack money, and they will never lack powerful partners.

"Tsk tsk! It's worthy of being a combination of a brothel and a gambling house, the real deal." Only after approaching the beauty Zhuang Wuming did he realize that this place simply combined wine, sex and talent to the extreme.

Meiren Manor is very big. Although there are many customers, it does not feel crowded at all. The businessmen with big bellies are hugged by women left and right. Judging from their looks, the women here are all of mature appearance.

They all have thin waists and long legs, and they dress in a way that exposes what should be exposed, as well as what shouldn’t be exposed.

Anyway, as long as you cover three points, it's like you're wearing clothes.

The women who were being hugged were fine, but the ones responsible for shaking the dice at the gambling table were even more so. Beauty could easily arouse people's desires. Often, under the stimulation of beauty, those who were originally prepared to only place one bet would make two or three bets. Those who were anxious would even risk their lives.

The beautiful dealer deals cards online, and we just ask you if you like it.

"Look, it's Tiannvrui!"

Wu Ming, who was secretly amazed, looked up when he heard the sound, and saw seven or eight red silks flying in the sky above the spacious courtyard of Meiren Manor. A woman with red cloth tied around her body was walking barefoot on the red silks that were as thin as gauze, and she was flying out from the roof of the main building of Meiren Manor.

As the woman appeared, pink petals flew all over the sky. As the woman waved her bare white arms, the petals gathered together and finally formed pink lotus flowers.

The lotus flowers seemed to have spirits and automatically gathered under the woman's feet to form a descending staircase. The woman stepped on it barefoot, as if lotus flowers were blooming with every step. This was much more impressive than Wu Ming's horse stool.

What Wu Ming found most interesting was that the last lotus was not far from where he was standing.

What is this, a unique welcome ceremony at Meiren Manor?

…………

Chapter 35: Clichés

"Damn it, why are there safety pants in the Tang Dynasty world?" Looking at Tiannvrui who turned over and fell not far away, Wu Ming asked this soul-searching question.

"I'm Tiannvrui, and I've come here specially to welcome Lord Wu!" Tiannvrui, who had landed on the ground, was completely unaware of Wu Ming's complaints. Instead, she twisted her body seductively, moved closer and saluted Wu Ming.

From the sound of it, it seems that he already knows Wu Ming's identity.

After the ceremony, Tian Nurui stood there pretty much. She was wearing... well, using the word "wearing" would be a bit of an insult to the fabric. Wu Ming preferred to use the word "tied".

Tian Nurui had two pieces of clothing tied on her body. One was a tube top. It was not quite appropriate to call it a tube top. It could only be called a bra, which covered the key parts of her upper body, leaving her shoulders and lower abdomen all exposed.

As for the lower body, it could barely be considered a short skirt. This woman seemed to love red. The whole body was made of red brocade, and there was a layer of white lace lining at the hem of the skirt.

Don’t ask why there is lace in this world. Jingwei wears stockings, and others wear lace all over. Is it illegal?

No matter what, even in later generations, wearing such clothes on the street would be a very shocking existence. Fortunately, this Tang Dynasty was not a serious Tang Dynasty, so Wu Ming could still accept it.

Besides, doesn't it look comfortable to us when we see others dressed like this? The combination of tube top and short skirt highlights the figure of the goddess, and the gully formed by the gathered flesh on the plump upper body that is as white as snow is also eye-catching.

Coupled with the smooth belly, the slender waist, and the voluptuous body behind, Wu Ming finally understood what it meant that there is no harm without comparison. No wonder those fat pig-like vendors, when they saw Tiannvrui appear, they all wanted to crawl over and lick her. At the moment, she was really tempting.

"Know me?" It sounds complicated to describe, but in fact, Wu Ming's observation of Tiannvrui was only a matter of a moment. After all, he has seen the world. We will not compare them with three-dimensional people like Ruyan and Tangchou. Jingniu Zinu is of course no different from Tiannvrui.

Not only did Wu Ming not behave like a pervert in front of Tian Nurui, he also disguised himself as a pure man who couldn't stand the sight of women.

Although he didn't avoid her eyes, his ears turned slightly red, showing his respect for Tian Nurui's outfit.

Who is Tiannvrui? In terms of her official identity, she is a brothel owner just like Zinu. Most women like this have a domineering heart that wants to tease innocent men.

Take Zi Nu for example. In the beginning, she allowed Wu Ming to be so unrestrained, largely because she knew that Wu Ming had practiced the Four Illuminations Divine Art. She thought that Wu Ming could not really do anything to her anyway, so she wanted to take advantage of her savior, a savior she somewhat liked. Of course, Zi Nu felt that she could not be stingy.

"Beauty Manor welcomes guests from all over the world. It is rare in the world to be well-informed. How can Tian Nurui not be interested in a young talent like Lord Wu?" Tian Nurui blinked her eyes, her pupils like cutting water, with a seemingly obscure but actually obvious teasing.

Beside Wu Ming, Jingwei and Ruyan looked at each other. At that moment, both of them saw the mockery in each other's eyes. In their eyes, Tiannvrui's behavior was like a little lamb who was recklessly provoking the big bad wolf.

But this big bad wolf has no moral principles and acts even more like a lamb than the little lamb.

"No, Wu Ming is just lucky. He doesn't deserve such praise from Miss Rui." After being praised by the goddess Rui, not only Wu Ming's ears turned red, but also half of his face was red.

"You are such a strange person, why do you call me Miss Rui?" There is a man hidden in the heart of the celestial maiden Rui, and this man is Tang Lian, a disciple of Baili Dongjun from Xueyue City. One of them calls the other Rui and the other calls the other Lian, which means they have each other in their hearts.

At this time, Tiannv Rui still maintained a smile on the surface, but she was actually unhappy in her heart. To her, the name Rui could only belong to Tang Lian. She would be unhappy if others called her that, even if Wu Ming was referring to Miss Rui.

"The core of the flower is the most delicate and beautiful part of the flower, and it breeds sweet nectar. Miss Rui is just like this in Wu Ming's heart." Wu Ming thought about it seriously, and then spoke seriously. Who could have known that at this moment Wu Ming was actually thinking about whether the nectar of Miss Rui was sweet enough.

He wanted to find an opportunity to taste it.

"Sir Wu is a well-educated man. You can tell so much about a flower." Tian Nurui looked at Wu Ming, as if she wanted to see through Wu Ming's heart. Unfortunately, no matter how she looked, she felt that Wu Ming in front of her was sincere and did not seem like a scheming person.

The compliment just now, which sounded like a veteran in the world of flowers, was just a simple compliment to her.

"I don't claim to be a learned person. My master once said that in the end, what matters in martial arts is knowledge. It's always good to learn more." A hint of admiration appeared on Wu Ming's face, as if he really had a master.

Tiannvrui was naturally interested, as this was not in the intelligence.

To be honest, Wu Ming's appearance was sudden for any force. An eighteen-year-old grandmaster is not just talk.

It is said that there was a sixth prince in Beili at that time, named Xiao Chuhe, who was known as a genius among geniuses and rarely seen in a century. He had just become a grandmaster at the age of seventeen. It is also said that this sixth prince was ambushed and his cultivation was abolished just after he became a grandmaster.

Not to mention those who were useless, Wu Ming is the second such genius, and he is growing very healthily. With such qualifications, it is a sure thing for him to become a land immortal, and he may even be able to impact the celestial being.

Therefore, many people want to know whether Wu Ming is a wild one or he has a master with extraordinary cultivation behind him. Tiannvrui is the liaison person planted by Xueyue City in Sangu City. Her mission is to deliver intelligence to Xueyue City. Wu Ming has a master, so she naturally wants to know who he is.

What made her uncomfortable was that when she blinked her eyes and asked Wu Ming in a seductive way, Wu Ming seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but had something else in mind.

The window paper was so thin that Wu Ming scratched it with his fingernails but was very stubborn and refused to poke it. This feeling of being neither up nor down was the most uncomfortable.

Just as Tian Nurui was planning how to make Wu Ming speak, the sound of weapons clashing came from outside the Beauty Manor, mixed with a few faint roars and wails.

"Jingwei, Ruyan!"

"Yes, sir." After the two men responded, they flew out directly.

When Tiannvrui saw this scene, her pupils shrank slightly. These two women standing beside Wu Ming like shadows were actually masters.

The one holding the sword made her feel extremely threatened.

Chapter 36: Assassination

The profession of killer is very common in this world.

Living in this world, as long as you want to fight, you will have enemies. The greater your power, the more enemies you will have.

Xu Xiao was a murderer with a heavy heart and he was the highest official in the country. There was no room for improvement in his status and he had so many enemies that it was hard to describe. As Xu Xiao's second daughter, it was not surprising that someone wanted to kill Xu Weixiong.

What really surprised Wu Ming was that Xu Weixiong was actually injured, although it was only a minor injury.

But how is this possible? Xu Xiao is not a toothless tiger. Although Xu Weixiong is not Xu Xiao's biological son, he is very favored. If Xu Weixiong enters Chang'an, Beiliang will definitely provide great protection.

In other words, the injury was intentional, to show weakness to the enemy? Then who was this enemy? Wu Ming quickly thought of the imperial court.

With Xu Xiao's power, the only one who needed him to show weakness was the imperial court.
