Chapter 46 Brothel
Chapter 46 Brothel
Lu Yunyi and the other two quickly returned to the front scout station.
As soon as he entered the military tent, Liu Heiying could no longer suppress his ecstasy. He jumped back and forth excitedly in the tent, dancing with joy.
His usually dark face flushed with excitement, and the long-lost bright smile reappeared on his face.
At this moment, he truly looked like an eighteen-year-old boy, with his emotions clearly visible on his face.
Lu Yunyi was unusually calm. He walked into the military tent, sat quietly at the long table, leisurely poured a bowl of herbal tea, and gently moistened his lips.
Although I had expected such a scene, when it really came,
Lu Yunyi did not feel much joy, as if everything was going on naturally.
He believed that he was the best in Qingzhou in terms of his talent in battle formations.
Now that the army has arrived here, it is only natural for them to make contributions under Lan Yu's command, and it is also natural for them to be promoted by Lan Yu.
When he knew that his father's teacher was Liu Sanwu,
After being in the Eastern Palace together with Lan Yu, the result that they were both members of the rebel party could no longer be avoided.
Unless you give up everything now and move far away.
But he is a mean person. He has been the general flag for many years and feels somewhat frustrated that his talent is not appreciated. He thinks his superiors are blind.
But now, within two months, he has been promoted from general flag to deputy commander.
Now that he has obtained the official position, he is still feeling sad and depressed.
Thinking of this, a hint of self-mockery appeared on Lu Yunyi's lips, and he drank the herbal tea in the cup.
He looked at Liu Heiying and said, "Master Qianzong, please stop jumping. There will be an earthquake."
"Earthquake?" Liu Heiying asked.
"The dragon turns over."
Liu Heiying's eyes were filled with even more doubt, but he soon widened his eyes and ran to the table and sat down:
"Brother Yun'er, I'm a Qianzong now, do you want me to lose some weight?"
Lu Yunyi stepped forward and patted his bulging belly.
"You want to lose weight? Forget it. Your skin is thick and you can take a few more cuts."
It’s not that Liu Heiying doesn’t have muscles, but they are wrapped tightly in fat and cannot be seen.
Hearing this, Liu Heiying's face suddenly fell: "Ah, I still have to charge."
Lu Yunyi poured him a cup of tea and said:
"There are only a thousand scouts in the front army. If it comes to a fight, I will go into battle and kill them, not to mention you."
"Why are there only a thousand people? It would be better if there were three to five thousand people."
Lu Yunyi rolled his eyes helplessly:
"Then can we still call them scouts? We should just call them vanguards."
Upon hearing this, Liu Heiying's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly:
"The vanguard is fine too. They charge into battle and kill people everywhere. The vanguard is much more impressive than the scouts."
"The general of the vanguard army is Marquis Dingyuan. Although we two brothers have some skills, we are still far behind him.
Dingyuan Hou surrendered to the emperor in the 12th year of Zhizheng, and made many military achievements, capturing countless cities.
The Ming Dynasty has military achievements left by others in all directions. Who are we to steal their vanguard troops?"
Liu Heiying blinked his eyes. He knew Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, but he didn't know what merits he had made.
Lu Yunyi held his chin with one hand and continued:
"By the way, the last Marquis of Dingyuan was Ban Chao, the one who recovered fifty states in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty. The current Marquis of Dingyuan in the Ming Dynasty is not much worse than Ban Chao."
"I know this. He often appears in operas." Liu Heiying nodded absentmindedly and spoke excitedly:
"Brother Yun'er, Marquis Dingyuan is the general of the front army, so he can be considered our superior."
"No, he is our superior, but Lord Dingyuan has not arrived yet, so we are under the command of the general.
When Lord Dingyuan arrives, we will be under his overall management."
"What is the relationship between Lord Dingyuan and the general? He won't make things difficult for us, will he?"
Lu Yunyi held his chin with one hand and glanced at him, muttering: "They are all traitors."
"One party?" Liu Heiying let out a long sigh, "It's a good thing our backers are still useful."
"To make a living in the army, you have to rely on your own abilities. You won't get far if you just do things that are worthless."
"Got it, got it." Liu Heiying leaned his head over:
"Brother Yun'er, we just returned to the camp today and have two days off. Why don't we go out for a drink?"
Lu Yunyi immediately raised his head with a serious expression.
Liu Heiying quickly retracted his neck, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "You can't drink in the army, let's go outside to drink."
Lu Yunyi stood up straight and patted his shoulder hard.
Liu Heiying's facial features suddenly squeezed together, preparing for the loud curse that was to follow.
But I didn't expect
"Why didn't you say that earlier? Let's go."
"Ah?" Liu Heiying was startled, and stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement, his eyes narrowed into slits:
"Come on, let me introduce someone to you."
In less than half an hour, the two arrived at the door of Manchunlou, a famous brothel in Gyeongju.
Even though winter has arrived, it still cannot stop the Manchun Building from being bustling with people.
Chen Jingyi stood at the door. He was tall and sturdy, with a beard covering most of his face, making him look less old.
After receiving the letter, he waited at the door early. When he saw the two people coming, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
"Your Excellencies."
Lu Yunyi looked at him in the dim light of the brothel and nodded slightly:
"Chen Jingyi."
Chen Jingyi smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Liu Heiying on the side whispered: "Brother Chen is an honest man and has helped us with many things."
After hearing this, Lu Yunyi understood and his expression became a little warmer.
Liu Heiying heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and waved his hand, calling out to Chen Jingyi:
"Come on, come on, today we will get promoted and make a fortune, let's drink a lot."
Not only Chen Jingyi heard these words, but even the old procuress who hurried out of the door, still with her charm, heard them.
"Oh, it's Master Liu, but you haven't been here for a while, and the girls miss you so much."
Mother Li is the head of Manchunlou. Time seems to have left no trace on her and she is still as graceful as ever.
She is tall and wearing a bright red dress. The pattern on the dress flows slowly across her graceful figure like a stream of water.
Her hair was tied up high, revealing her smooth forehead. A few strands of black hair hung by her ears, swaying gently in the wind.
Her eyes were deep and bright, with a smile on her lips. She walked slowly towards the three people, and every move she made was charming.
Liu Heiying's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he immediately showed his "hehehehe" expression.
He opened his arms to welcome her, and took her into his arms, feeling her carefully.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Sister Li has become even more beautiful."
"Hate it~ Calling me sister, it's so embarrassing. But, Master Liu hasn't been here for a while, I miss you~~"
Mother Li nestled in Liu Heiying's arms, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.
The red lips are slightly opened, the face is like a peach blossom, and the feelings are full of love.
Witnessing this scene, Lu Yunyi's heart was in turmoil. He was shocked and surprised.
When did these two get together?
Lu Yunyi knew that Madam Li was the mistress of the former governor.
However, because of his poor performance in the campaign against Nahachu last year, he was executed by the imperial court.
Mother Li had nowhere to go, so she partnered with someone to open a brothel here.
Liu Heiying patted Mother Li's shoulder and comforted her:
"I have military duties to attend to. How can I come here all the time?"
"That Today"
Liu Heiying showed pride and stiffened his neck. He patted his chest vigorously and stretched out his hand to greet Lu Yunyi:
"My brother and I got promoted and made a fortune today, so we came here to have a small gathering."
He smiled innocently, looked at Mother Li again, and hugged her slender waist tighter:
"I want to see you, too."
Mother Li smiled brightly and her cheeks were rosy, and she was obviously very happy.
He got rid of Liu Heiying and slowly came to Lu Yunyi, with a dignified face, and bowed slowly:
"I guess you are Master Xiao Lu. I only heard your voice but never saw you.
Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed very handsome and his reputation is well-deserved."
Lu Yunyi thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "I always hear Black Hawk mention you, and today I see that your reputation is well-deserved."
"Really?" Her eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth raised to form a perfect arc. After hearing this, Liu Heiying also raised two thumbs behind him, and his two rows of white teeth were particularly obvious in the dark.
Lu Yunyi smiled: "Of course."
Mother Li could no longer suppress the joy in her heart. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she just smiled.
"Then please come quickly, my lords. I will find the most beautiful girl to come."
As she spoke, she twisted her waist, came to the door and shouted into the house:
"Girls, the little Master Lu you've been thinking about day and night is here, come and see him."
Soon, the door was crowded with beautiful women, and some diners even squeezed to the door and looked out through the gap.
It is true that Lord Lu is so famous in Qingzhou City that ordinary officials and merchants all want to meet him.
Faced with such a scene, even Lu Yunyi, who had been stared at by thousands of people, felt a little uneasy.
But he quickly adjusted himself, walked into Manchunlou with his head held high and his chest held high, and his face calm.
"Master Xiao Lu, I am the owner of the cloth shop in the north of the city. I heard that you have made another contribution on the battlefield in the northern border. Congratulations."
"Sir Lu, I am a clerk in the government office. I admire you for having achieved such success at such a young age."
"Mr. Lu, he is so handsome"
There were so many names to call out to him, some were to flatter him, some were to praise him, and some were to express affection to the women.
There was no blind bastard trying to provoke him. It turns out that when you are powerful, there are always good people around you.
Lu Yunyi turned a deaf ear to these people.
Only when he sees a familiar face will he nod slightly and say a few words to the person, which is very surprising.
Soon, they came to a quiet courtyard. The door of the warm room was open and there was an incense burner nearby emitting wisps of green smoke.
Liu Heiying whispered at this time:
"It's the best place. Even if the masters in the city come, they can't enter here."
"Then you." Lu Yunyi looked at Liu Heying with some suspicion.
He chuckled, and decided not to hide anything, patting his chest:
"It's the boss."
But he quickly said, "Don't tell anyone. My father found a friend in Peking and opened this place in his name. What was it called? I forgot."
"Holding on behalf of others?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Liu Heiying nodded repeatedly with excitement on his face.
Lu Yunyi had a strange look on his face and was shocked. He had only seen Liu Heiying apply what he had learned so flexibly.
"I was wondering how a woman like Madam Li could handle all this. What about your girls?"
Liu Heiying's face suddenly showed, and he spoke proudly:
"Those girls really came from poor families, and once they had earned enough money they didn't want to do it anymore, so they used my name to get away.
The money went from one hand to the other, not a cent was spent."
"Hey, you're really a genius. You kept me in the dark."
Liu Heiying lowered his eyes and spoke softly, as if he had something to hide.
"Sir, you are always old-fashioned. My father forbids me to say that."
After Liu Heiying finished speaking, he asked everyone to sit down.
When Lu Yunyi sat down, he frowned and suddenly felt a warm sensation:
"And the Earth Dragon?"
"Of course. I heard that the owner of Manchunlou is very wealthy. He specially invited craftsmen from Peking, and it cost quite a lot." Liu Heiying lied without blushing at all.
But Lu Yunyi looked at the people present.
Mother Li and Liu Heiying were in cahoots with each other. She had just learned the secret and decided to deceive Chen Jingyi.
As Mother Li clapped her hands, the girls walked in gracefully, holding wine and delicacies.
It is winter now, but they are still wearing long gauze skirts, revealing their white calves, and walking barefoot on the ground.
Liu Heiying gently took Mother Li's arm and swept his eyes over the girls present, listening to every word.
"Today, Brother Yuner was promoted three levels to the rank of Commander, and I, Liu, was also promoted to the rank of Captain today.
I came here to have fun, girls, please don't be polite, if you have any special skills, just ask me."
Everyone present suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the two in disbelief.
Especially Chen Jingyi and Li's mother,
They knew that Lord Lu had just been promoted a few days ago, and he was promoted again today!
Or a promotion of three levels?
Liu Heiying was not bad either. He overcame the most difficult hurdle and has been promoted since then.
Mother Li just felt her breathing quicken, like a peony bud about to bloom, her cheeks slightly flushed, like peach blossoms in early spring being kissed by the breeze, her mind was dizzy, and she just leaned gently towards Liu Heiying, leaning on his shoulder,
Her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a warm breath: "General, is this true?"
"General?"
Lu Yunyi's eyes swept over and looked back and forth at the two of them. He didn't expect that Liu Heiying actually had this habit.
Liu Heiying tensed his toes suddenly, quickly dodged the gaze, and gently patted Mother Li's shoulder:
"Of course it's true. How can getting promoted and getting rich be false?"
Lu Yunyi shook his head at him and smiled sinisterly, as if to say, "I know your secret."
He looked at the girls standing in front of him, then pointed at the woman in the white dress in the center:
"You come."
The woman was wearing a pure white long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind. The fabric of the skirt was as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing a hazy beauty, as if one could see a faint figure through the hem of the skirt.
The skirt was tied with a thin belt, which made her waist look even slimmer.
There was a gleam of surprise in her bright eyes. She quickly took a step, jumped to Lu Yunyi's side, and knelt down gently:
"Mr. Lu, this is Bai Ji."
"White Chicken? What a good name."
Lu Yunyi smiled and nodded, then looked at Chen Jingyi who looked reserved.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yunyi did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he looked forward and pointed at a woman in green clothes, and gently waved his hand towards Chen Jingyi.
The woman smiled, her eyes also sparkling with surprise, and she quickly walked to Chen Jingyi's side, calling him "Sir" sweetly.
Chen Jingyi looked nervous, but for some reason, he felt a little relieved.
He came here to ask someone to do him a favor, and Lord Lu was so friendly that he felt a little excited.
Liu Heiying also waved his hand at this moment: "Put down the wine and food, and the rest of you can go out."
The women bit their lips lightly, weeping, and after putting down their food and wine, they left reluctantly.
Liu Heiying looked at Chen Jingyi and said loudly:
"My brother Yun'er has never been interested in women. Today, Brother Chen came and made me break my vow. It's rare."
Lu Yunyi sighed softly. Only then did he understand what that sentence meant.
If you don't take it and I don't take it, how can Commissioner Geng take it?
As a superior, if he didn't keep the woman here, the two of them would definitely do the same as he did.
At this point, Lu Yunyi no longer pretended to be so hypocritical. He picked up the wine bowl that the woman had poured and said cheerfully:
"Come, have a drink."
The night was filled with darkness, time was passing, and after three rounds of drinking, everyone present was a little drunk. The woman's face turned slightly red, and her fair skin was as delicate as a baby's.
The man's face was dark red and his eyes were a little hazy.
Until then, Liu Heiying pointed at Chen Jingyi and chattered:
"Brother Yun'er, he is a miserable man. You must help him. I, Liu Heiying, have a hard heart, but Brother Chen, ah."
The drunkenness in Lu Yunyi's eyes gradually dissipated, and clarity of mind regained its focus:
"Since you are one of us, then tell us what you have to say."
The drunkenness in Chen Jingyi's eyes on the side also disappeared silently. He clenched his hands tightly, trembling slightly, with excitement on his face.
"Sir, this is my son's business."
