Fu Shifeng

Chapter 210 Red sleeves swagger
The night is getting darker, and the lights are still bright on both sides of the Guanhe River. Several tent boats carry guests, swaying through the small market and arriving at Guangji Bridge.

Looking up to the west, there are a series of tall red buildings, with green tiles like scales and colorful lanterns reflecting each other. The melodious silk and bamboo and the sound of people can be heard from inside.

When the canopy boat approached, he saw a woman upstairs waving her red sleeves, singing orioles, and calling incessantly. The people who came and went were fascinated and wanted to go up and have a look.

"Ouch! It's Daxia Zhang!" As soon as the tent boat docked, the waiter came up to greet him: "We haven't seen you for a long time, Daxia Zhang has become more and more handsome! We have a few new girls in Hong Xiu Zhao recently. They are so tender. Like being made of water, he refuses to accept guests casually and only looks forward to heroes like Zhang Daxia."

"Oh? It seems that your Hong Xiu Zhao business is getting bigger and bigger."

The visitor was tall and burly, with a brocade robe and jade belt, and a sword inlaid with agate at his waist. He looked very noble.

Along with Zhang Daxia, there were seven or eight men who landed together. They were all good-looking and strong men. The waiting waiter had a keen eye and saw that they were all heroes in the martial arts. He did not dare to neglect them in the slightest and greeted them. Leading the way.

This Hong Xiuzhao is the leading brothel in Jiangdu City, covering nearly half of the square. In addition to brothels, there are also gambling houses, restaurants, soup pools, fine wines, oiran prostitutes, silk and bamboo singing and dancing. It can be said that this place has everything you need.

The prostitutes here are not only from the Jianghuai area, but also from foreign countries such as Silla, Japan, and Persia. They are extremely well trained. In addition to being good at singing, dancing, and proficient in literature, they are also ecstatic in bed, and their reputation spreads widely.Rich merchants traveling from north to south, and officials who were demoted to official positions all regard this place as the first-class romantic place in Jianghuai.

Likewise, Hong Xiuzhao is also a first-class gold-selling cave, so everything used here is of the highest quality, and rare treasures from all over the world via canals or seas are collected here.If you don’t have the generosity and courage to spend a lot of money, don’t step into the red sleeve trick.

If it were in the past, Zhang Jida would definitely be in high spirits. Even if it was to win over his martial arts colleagues, he would spend a lot of money to invite the oiran lady to come out to entertain guests.

But his mind was not on the sensual entertainment now. He was secretly vigilant along the way and glanced left and right. The faces of the masters behind him were also nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they did not look like they were here to have fun at all.

No waiter with poor eyesight can serve as a waiter in Hongxiu. Seeing that Zhang Jida rarely responded, he guessed that Zhang Jida was absent-minded. After inviting the guests into the upper room, he asked, "I wonder which girl Zhang Daxia wants to invite tonight?" ?”

"Is Miss Jiang Chuchu here?" Zhang Jida asked.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Miss Chu Chu is waiting for guests." The waiter said with a sad face.

Zhang Jida asked again: "What about Miss Qianyu?"

"Miss Qianyu may also be inconvenienced..."

"Who are Cui Shishi, Guanyin Nu, and Dai Fang Niang?"

Sweat broke out on the waiter's forehead, and his original eloquence turned into speechless.Seeing this, the knights behind Zhang Jida stood up and shouted angrily: "Nothing like this, nothing about that. Is this how you Hongxiu Zhao treat your guests?"

"Several guests, please calm down." The waiter quickly explained: "It's not that we are being negligent. It's just that Hongxiu invited an important guest today and called many girls over."

Zhang Jida snorted coldly: "I'm curious. Red Sleeves has seen countless distinguished guests. Even the prime minister who was demoted from the capital has never been so attentive. Which distinguished guest can make you be so humble?"

The waiter said in a low voice: "He is a nobleman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Governor's Mansion sent someone to send a message, saying that he must serve this nobleman well and must not be disrespectful in the slightest."

"Minister of Internal Affairs? Aren't those a group of eunuchs? They also came to visit the brothel?" A knight looked with disdain on his face.

"Oh, maybe the nobles have their own way of playing. How can a villain dare to ask?" The waiter said: "Well, how about I invite a group of girls to come over and show it to some heroes?"

Zhang Jida threw out a silver collar as a reward: "Go ahead and bring some more food and wine."

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be here immediately!"

After the waiter left, Zhang Jida immediately closed the door, and all the knights gathered together and whispered: "The news is correct, it seems that the thief is here in Hongxiu!"

"Hmph! This thief is still as lustful as ever!"

"On the strength of joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs and becoming a court eagle, he became more and more unscrupulous and even took the initiative to come to the border of Jianghuai."

"Now that he is here, we cannot allow him to survive this time."

"Little sister, brother, I will avenge you today!"

All the knights were gnashing their teeth, their faces full of hatred and anger, as if they were about to kill their enemies immediately and cut their enemies into pieces.

"When will we take action?" All the knights looked at Zhang Jida.

"A little later, when Fan Zhongming wastes his energy on women, he will have the opportunity." Zhang Jida looked to the left and right: "Is Mi Xiang ready?"

"It's already ready."

"Everyone, gather your strength, wait for the girl to come, wait for an opportunity to stun them, and then go find the thief." Zhang Jida said solemnly: "Tonight is the day of deep hatred in Jianghuai Wulin!"

……

Cheng Sanwu raised his head, took a deep breath, leaned back, and simply fell down among a piece of warm-smelling soft jade.

Relaxing slowly, he watched the beauty in front of him stand up, and took an embroidered handkerchief from the side to wipe the corners of her mouth. The crimson color spread from her cheeks to her chest. She looked like a gentle lady when she was wearing clothes, but when she took off her silk scarf, she turned into a gorgeous woman. Cheng Sanwu felt strange about the peaches and plums.

According to Afu's arrangement, Cheng Sanwu revealed his identity directly in front of Gao Changshi, and took advantage of the stolen weapons to blackmail him heavily.

While Gao Changshi was raising money worth one million guan, Cheng Sanwu simply enjoyed it with great fanfare, moved directly into the best brothel in Jiangdu City, and called for the most beautiful and expensive oiran lady.

As for expenses?Then let Gao Changshi worry about it, Cheng Sanwu didn't bother to care, otherwise he would be ashamed of his status as Minister of Internal Affairs.

Jiang Chuchu came forward with a wine cup. Cheng Sanwu raised his hand to take it, and pulled her into his arms very domineeringly. He raised and lowered his hands, causing the red-sleeved oiran to exclaim, and the wine spilled down her delicate body.

"Master Zhaoyang, please don't be impatient." Jiang Chuchu scolded, pushed Cheng Sanwu's big hand away, and said, "Let's have a glass of wine."

"I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be an elegant person." Cheng Sanwu didn't refuse. The two of them intertwined their arms and raised their heads to drink. Jiang Chuchu tilted her head and suddenly fainted and fell.

Cheng Sanwu was about to ask a question when a figure jumped down from the beam, it was Afu.She just pointed her finger in the air, causing Jiang Chuchu to fall into unconsciousness.

"Why are you here?" Cheng Sanwu was naked at the moment, with his limbs spread out and open.

"Looking at you like this, are you enjoying it?" Afu looked around. On a large couch that was more than ten feet wide, six beauties were staggering around, showing off the man's heroic achievements. "Of course." Cheng Sanwu stretched out his hand and tried to pull Afu into his arms, but the dominatrix turned away and said with a smile: "You smell like these women, so I won't make trouble with you."

"Are you jealous?" Cheng Sanwu slapped Jiang Chuchu's buttocks with his palm and made a crisp sound: "How can these vulgar fans compare with you?"

"Are you trying to please me?" Afu asked with her hands behind her back, looking a bit like a young girl in love with her.

"No matter how much you talk, it's all false." Cheng Sanwu waved his hand and said, "When Gao Changshi delivers the 100 million yuan of goods, you can take them all."

Afu immediately laughed loudly, her girlish attitude completely gone: "Okay, okay, I guess you still have some conscience! Catch it!"

Cheng Sanwu raised his hand to catch a pill thrown by the other party, leaned in and sniffed the pungent smell, frowned and said, "What is this?"

"The Awakening Pill, held under the tongue, can resist the incense." Afu said: "A group of people have already come to Hong Xiuzhao, and they are probably going to do it after midnight. I found that some of them were using the incense, so I specially gave it to them. You bring this awakening pill."

"Just Mi Xiang, do you think I'm afraid?" Cheng Sanwu smiled contemptuously and tossed the pills up and down.

"You have now cultivated the Three Yang True Qi, and your soul is bright, so you are naturally not afraid of the ordinary fragrance." Afu sat on the embroidered pier, with her legs crossed. Although she was dressed in a smart outfit, she looked even more fit and strong, with slender legs. Hear her smile and say:
"But don't underestimate the methods of martial arts people. Some fans can unknowingly suppress the internal energy. And I'm worried that you will be so angry that you will kill everyone without mercy."

"Ah? Those martial arts people want to kill me, but I'm not allowed to kill them?" Cheng Sanwu was stunned.

"The person they want to kill is Fan Zhongming, and you are not him." Afu stretched lazily: "Someone deliberately released the news just to deal with you, and they also knew the situation of Zhaoyang Jun's replacement. You must know this Not everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows this."

"Is it Fu Shifeng again?" Cheng Sanwu held the pill and pondered for a moment: "Back in Shuofang, they should have been secretly monitoring me. They knew very well that Fan Zhongming died in my hands."

"But this method is not very similar now." Afu said: "It's too rough and too shallow. I plan to take the opportunity to follow the clues, so don't kill those martial arts people."

"It's much harder to survive than to kill someone." Cheng Sanwu complained.

"Don't forget, you are the one who killed Fan Zhongming. After careful calculation, Jianghuai Wulin owes a reward of [-] yuan and a big favor." A Fu put his chin in his hand.

"One hundred thousand yuan..." Cheng Sanwu said with emotion: "Since coming to Yangzhou, I have become more and more unfamiliar with the amount of money. I feel that one hundred thousand yuan and one million yuan are about the same."

Cheng Sanwu has never been a person who is calculating and good at business. This has been the case since the Western Regions. No matter how much money is given to him, it is nothing more than eating, drinking and whoring.Cheng Sanwu was also very aware of this problem, so he simply handed over all his money and property to Afu.

"I understand..." Cheng Sanwu suddenly figured it out: "Are you planning to take this opportunity to win over the Jianghuai Wulin and cultivate your own power?"

"I used to live in Jiangnan for a long time, and I have long been accustomed to this place." Afu said, "I want to arrange an escape route for myself, and I must deal with people from the Jianghuai Wulin."

"Since you said so, I have to be gentler." Cheng Sanwu reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you." Afu stood up and came closer, stretched out her hand to explore the dragon, and said in a charming tone, "I will give you a reward when the time comes."

"Why don't you give it now?"

"They are coming." Afu chuckled, turned into blue smoke and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Sanwu was aroused and became restless. He sensed a murderous intention approaching. He immediately stuffed the pill into his mouth, hugged the oiran's wife, and pretended to be asleep.

Get rid of distractions and empty your mind. With the help of Qi induction, the outlines of the surrounding things emerge in your mind one after another. The subtle Qi movement is not limited to the indoors, but even penetrates the roof tiles of the roof. The surrounding breath flows and the ground trembles, all of which should be reflected truthfully.

In addition, Cheng Sanwu also sensed eight figures surrounding this spacious upper room from all directions, including two people on the roof.

Several sharpened bamboo tubes pierced the window paper, forcing smoke into the room through the bamboo tubes.

It has to be said that in order to deal with "Jun Zhaoyang", this group of martial arts people used very sophisticated incense. The smell was so subtle that it was almost covered by the original incense in the house. If Afu hadn't reminded him, Cheng Sanwu would have been able to burn it for an hour and a half. Not even for a moment.

However, with the help of the Awakening Pill, Cheng Sanwu didn't feel drowsy at all. Instead, he felt that the pill was pungent and sour, and his tongue was numb. He cursed in his heart: "Why don't you come in? I don't want to hold this thing in my mouth anymore." ”

After waiting for a full two moments, the eight people outside seemed to be sure that the incense was filling the room and had not awakened "Jun Zhaoyang", so they quietly used a sharp knife to open the door and quietly entered.

This group of martial arts people were all masked and dressed in black. The leader was Zhang Jida. He was holding a sharp sword and slowly approached.

However, when Zhang Jida came to the bed, opened the gauze curtain, and saw Cheng Sanwu hugging him from left to right, he was suddenly startled. Several knights who followed him were eager for revenge and had enough attitude, but they were also stunned.

"Is this person really Fan Zhongming? Why does he look like this?" Someone couldn't help but whisper.

"I remember he was as fat as a pig. This man was too... majestic."

"Did you enter the wrong door?"

"No! The Kanhe Fish Talisman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is on the table. He is Lord Zhaoyang!"

Zhang Jida originally wanted to signal everyone to be silent, but the man on the couch was breathing slowly and his heartbeat was slow. He was obviously sleepy, which reassured him, so he said, "I feel strange too. Could it be that the news is wrong?"

"But that thief Fan Zhongming did join the Ministry of Internal Affairs and gained a high position by virtue of his martial arts skills."

"Then he looks like this..."

"I understand. It must be that he got a chance encounter or expert advice after joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and overcame the shortcomings of "The Nine Bases of Kanyuan", and became as thin as he is now."

Zhang Jida nodded secretly: "This makes sense."

"Then what should we do now?" Everyone looked at Zhang Jida.

"Kill!" Zhang Jida's eyes showed a fierce look: "The matter has reached this point, how can we turn back and shrink our hands?"

After saying this, Zhang Jida came to the bedside with his sword and stabbed it in the heart!
At the critical moment, Cheng Sanwu suddenly made a move. The energy and blood in his body suddenly changed from slow to rapid. The power of Yanfeng Kung Fu traveled through hundreds of meridians. The thick Gang Qi protected his body and blocked the fatal sword!
The sword edge was three inches away from the heart and it was difficult to penetrate. No matter how slow Zhang Jida reacted, he knew that the situation had changed dramatically. With a flick of his wrist, the sword flower was directly in front of his face and eyes.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, the sword was caught between two fingers, as if it was stuck in a piece of iron stone, unable to move even an inch.
