Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 214 Red Sleeves

Don't stay here for long.

Although Jiang Nan was greedy for the remaining half of Mo Luo's power, and had the idea of ​​controlling it for a few days before sucking it, he had to send Mo Luo back to the west immediately.

There are many masters of the Amitabha Sect here, and it is easy to be discovered. If the bald leader who is in the state of concentration is attracted, he will not be able to finish his meal and walk away.

Moreover, Jiangnan was also faintly worried about Xingdian's situation.I don't know if he has escaped from the pursuit of the bald leader.

Jiang Nan cut off Mo Luo's head to ensure that the monk in black would never wake up again.

After disposing of the corpse, he immediately chased in the direction that Xingdian left.

Along the way, I surpassed many Amitabha sect members, and saw many wounded and dead bodies.

Fortunately, with the guidance of these Amitabha sects, Jiangnan will not be lost.

An expert like Xingdian can run faster than Zhaoyeyu lion.

Jiangnan's pursuit lasted for a long time, and he even chased all the way to the outside of Yangzhou City.

Jiangnan discovered that another innate master of the Amitabha Sect who was knocked to the ground by Xingdian before was wandering outside Yangzhou City, but did not enter the city.

I know that Xingdian has probably entered the city.

Yangzhou City is the capital of Yangzhou, the largest city in the south.In terms of prosperity, it is somewhat better than Lin'an City, the capital of Jiangnan Road.

The prosperity of Lin'an City lies in the humanistic atmosphere, and the luxury of money; the prosperity of Yangzhou City lies in the economy and trade, which is the naked atmosphere of money.

In addition to one of the eight great families of martial arts, the Jin family, the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the world-renowned business alliance, the headquarters are also in Yangzhou City.

Although the business alliance is just an alliance formed by a group of businessmen, its influence spreads all over the world.

Especially wealth.

Someone once made a rough statistic, the wealth of any one of the seven permanent members of the Chamber of Commerce alone is greater than the annual treasury income of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

You know, the Great Zhou Dynasty had hundreds of millions of taxpayers in Kyushu.

This is a world where martial arts prevail.

Possessing so much wealth naturally requires a strong enough force to protect it.

Otherwise, it is just making wedding dresses for others.

It is said that in the business alliance, there are as many as seven innate priests who are resident in the headquarters alone, which is better than most of the world's first-class forces.

In addition, the daily guards of the major chambers of commerce have countless hidden forces behind their backs.

In the eyes of Jianghu people, the business alliance is a special existence.It's not the forces of the rivers and lakes, it's better than the forces of the rivers and lakes.

Even holy places of martial arts like Dachan Temple and Chunyang Palace have to give face to the Shangmeng.

In addition to the Merchant Alliance, there are also Jianghu gangs such as the Haisha Gang and the Giant Whale Gang in Yangzhou City, as well as branches of many forces such as the Zhenfu Division.

Martial artists practice martial arts not only to make a name for themselves, but also to live a better life.

To live better, in the final analysis, you still need money.

In addition to "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and ancestral property, the money of people in the world comes more from "deals" with the rich.

The rich seek protection from the warriors, and the warriors receive money from the rich, and so on.

Yangzhou's economy and trade are developed, there are many merchants, and they are very rich. There are also many opportunities to make money for warriors. No force will be willing to let go of this piece of fat.

Therefore, Yangzhou is not only economically prosperous, but also martial arts are flourishing, and there are even more warriors in the city than in the imperial capital.

Jiang Nan speculated that this innate master of the Amitabha Sect must have been afraid of the warriors in Yangzhou city and hesitated to enter the city.

Amitabha Sect is notorious as one of the four major evil sects in the world. Even if warriors seek profit, once they have the opportunity to attack in groups, they will never hesitate to step on their backs.

I just don't know, did the bald head who is the leader enter the city?
Jiang Nan observed quietly for a while, but did not find the figure of the bald leader.

Just as he was about to squeeze into the bustling crowd and walked towards the city, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze.

Jiang Nan didn't need to turn his head to know that this gaze must come from the innate master of the Amitabha Sect, and it was probably noticed by the other party when he was observing the other party.

Jiang Nan had never met this innate master before, so naturally he didn't have to worry about being recognized by the other party.

Naturally, he turned his head and smiled at the master, as if greeting a stranger.

The master pulled the corner of his mouth, and subconsciously gave Jiangnan an ugly smile back.

Jiang Nan turned around as if nothing had happened, and continued to enter the city.

Even though Jiangnan had already seen big cities like Chang'an and Lin'an, after entering Yangzhou city, he couldn't help but feel admiration.

In this world where there is no machinery and all depends on manpower, the manpower required to build such a large city is simply unimaginable.

The poet Wang Jian once had two poems describing the prosperity of the ancient Yangzhou city in his previous life:
"Thousands of lights in the night market illuminate the green clouds, and there are many people with red sleeves in high-rise buildings."

That kind of scene once fascinated Jiangnan.

After seeing Yangzhou in this life, Jiangnan discovered that it is not much better than the ancient Yangzhou in the poem.

"Young master, come up and play!"

There are beautiful women in light clothes standing in a row leaning on the railing, waving red and green silk scarves, and beckoning to Jiangnan downstairs.Soft words are like sugar, and clever smiles are like Yan.

Jiang Nan looked up and found that on the plaque under the railing, there were three big crimson characters engraved on it: "Red Sleeve Trick".

Can't help but be amused: "That's a good name!"

He stepped up, and walked in familiarly with Xu Niang's smiling welcome at the door.

Entering the hall, Jiangnan was having fun again.

Because on the stage, a woman with a beaded gauze covering her face was singing the very song "Everyone Says Jiangnan is Good" that Jiangnan had copied.

At that time, in order to amuse Ye Qingqing, Jiangnan casually recited this masterpiece of Wei Zhuang. The scholar Zhou Jing who was listening was shocked when he heard it, and it spread to the poetry meeting of Jiangnan Academy.

Unexpectedly, it spread to brothels in Yangzhou so quickly.

And, it seems to be extremely popular.

This made the instigator, Jiangnan, inexplicably feel a strange feeling.

After the song was sung, the guests in the audience applauded one after another, and the copper basins were filled with gold, silver and jewelry as rewards.

A guest who heard this piece for the first time asked who the author was.

There are also guests who are not satisfied, shouting "one more song".

The woman with the beaded gauze covering her face lightly touched the guzheng with her slender hand, and a zither sound interrupted the commotion in the audience.

The woman gently opened her lips: "Thank you for your kindness! It's a coincidence that the song just now was said to be composed by a young talent named 'Jiangnan'. A few days ago, it was reported from Lin'an City."

"In addition to this song "Everyone Says Jiangnan is Good", this talented man named 'Jiangnan' also made a song "Dream into Jiangnan Yanshui Road"."

"Linglong is not talented, she is a beginner and she is practicing, I hope everyone will not dislike her."

The woman got up, and she was blessed, and plucked the guzheng again, and sang:
"Dream into Yanshui Road in the south of the Yangtze River,

Travel to the south of the Yangtze River,

Do not meet Liren.

There is nothing to say when I sleep,
I feel melancholy and lost my soul..."

Compared with before, the singing voice is a bit more sad, which makes people feel sorry for each other.

After the song was sung, the guests praised and applauded again, and the crowd was excited.

Jiang Nan smiled.

This woman named Linglong is very good in terms of temperament, piano skills, and voice. It is not surprising that she can have this effect when paired with two classic lyrics that have passed the test of thousands of years.

The commotion around him made Jiangnan slightly uncomfortable.

Just about to move, I went upstairs to find a quiet box to drink.

A red hydrangea suddenly smashed over.

Jiang Nan instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

"Congratulations, young master! I got the chance to go to Miss Linglong's room and listen to the music alone." Xu Niang, who was in charge of the field control, smiled and congratulated.

Jiang Nan was slightly taken aback, only to realize that today's public performance of the woman on stage ended, and she chose the VIP to be received alone.

Such things are not uncommon.

You know, most brothels have only one oiran, but a group of customers.

Everyone wants to choose the oiran, if it can't be resolved properly, the guests will fight, and the demolition of the brothel will be a trivial matter.

In order to cope with such a situation, the brothel industry has long formed its own set of rules.

Either bid, the highest bidder wins, and let the money make the decision.

Or give the right to choose to the oiran, and the oiran will choose by throwing hydrangea.

of course.

The second type is relatively less.

Only those oirans who are so favored that even the boss of the brothel has to be coaxed and held carefully have this kind of treatment.

This is also to take care of the oiran's mood.

After all, oirans are people too.

The decision made by Yinzi may be old, ugly and wretched, the oiran chooses it herself, not to mention that it will make her physically and mentally happy, at least it will not be so annoying.

Jiang Nan never thought that such a good thing would fall on his own head!
Sensing the envious eyes of the surrounding guests, Jiangnan unexpectedly asked:
"Do you want money?"
