Dragon Sea Empire

When a group of brightly dressed young gentlemen came to Danyan Book Apartment, Erniang Lin couldn't help stamping her feet and sighed: "This group of young masters is here again, here comes the trouble, firstly those distant visitors who don't know whether they are businessmen or nobles, and then Here comes this group of Tai students who praise the Donglin Party every day, and then this group of lawless young masters and uncles, it's over, something must happen today, "

She grabbed the leader of the turtle slave and said: "Send someone to the yamen to talk to the leader of Yue Ban, and say that there will be trouble here tonight, and tell the people below to serve carefully..."

At that time, many prostitutes in the old courtyard were able to hold banquets, and the most famous one was the Gu family building next door. Every few days, dignitaries and dignitaries would host banquets in the small building there. The cooking skills are excellent, even the fine porcelain dishes and silver-clad tooth chopsticks make Chen Zhongji, who has been overseas all the year round, feel very warm. Yin Feng doesn't care about his appetite, and he often eats and lives with those Chinese soldiers Yes, but today he came to Qinhuai River for the first time to eat, but he was also attracted by the delicate dishes here.

Zeng Shan has lived in the capital for a long time, and he tasted Jiangnan flavor for the first time, and he was full of praise: "I saw the elegant environment here, but I didn't expect the dishes to be so well cooked. Look at this half of steamed crucian carp, it is so fresh... ...The dishes of our Leshan Restaurant in Taiwan can’t compare with this place at all.”

Chen Zhongji said with a sigh: "The wind in the south of the Yangtze River can really make people addicted to it, and just this delicious food can make people want to leave."

Xu Hongji sneered and said, "The warm wind blows the tourists drunk, and now this Jiangnan is a place where high officials and dignitaries sell gold..."

Yin Feng chuckled at him: "This is a rich and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. You can't get tired of fine food and delicious food. This is the best place in the whole country. It's human nature to eat well and dress well. Every year we help the inland The silver earned by the merchants is no less than one million taels, probably a lot of silver came here, "

……

In the side room on the second floor, Erniang Lin, the bustard, was listening to Guinu's report.

"There are unidentified people wandering around in the east, west, north, and south of our yard, and they seem to be bringing guys with them. The Yue Bantou of the government office said: Today, the eunuch guarding the eunuch, Eunuch Li, has a big banquet for distinguished guests, and all the brothers from the six doors have been transferred to help. Now, there is no one to help us watch the scene... Also, the maid serving the dishes overheard the conversation of those weird people in the East Wing; they seem to come from... Taiwan, yes, it is Taiwan, the leader, others call him For my lord, or something..."

"My lord,...my lord, don't care what kind of lord, he is a high-ranking official after all, it should be right, where is this Taiwan?" Lin Erniang walked around in confusion: "These people outside are secretly guarding the yard. Are all the people brought by this foreigner? Who would have so many bodyguards to take them on the road?"

The little maid, Xiaocui, knocked on the door and came in, and said to the old bustard cautiously and timidly: "Auntie, the guests in the east wing want to listen to the music; the young master Song in the west wing wants to invite Miss Ma to accompany him for a drink; the group of supervisors also want to listen to the music first. "

Erniang Lin waved Xiaocui away, and said to the foreman in a low voice: "You go and do it, everything is arranged properly, get through tonight, if the world is peaceful, I will reward you with five taels of silver tomorrow, that's right, Let the new pipa player accompany Miss Mei to the east chamber; tell Miss Ma that she must take good care of the young masters in the west chamber... Forget it, I'll go and talk about it myself."

……

The top Huadan in our hospital, 17-year-old Mei Xinlan is from Shexian County, Anhui Province. When she was five years old, her father went out to do business and died of illness in Northwest Shaanxi. Her mother died soon after. After her parents died, her family property was taken away by cruel uncles. Even she herself was sold to Nanjing Qinhuai River Old Courtyard by cruel relatives. She was only ten years old that year.

After seven years of prostitution by the old bustard, and seven years of hard work, Mei Xinlan is not only beautiful and gentle, but also knowledgeable and reasonable, and proficient in various musical instruments, especially the guqin.

Four years ago, a young lady who was good at playing the pipa became her personal servant girl and also taught her how to play the pipa. This maid was four years older than her and was sold here by her own brother, named Tang Xiaowan .

Both of them were betrayed by their relatives, so they fell in love with each other and became close friends in the boudoir. At that time, the infield of the brothel mainly consisted of aunts and elder sisters, who were maids and helpers in the brothel. Husbands and wives are called "Niang Yi", and young unmarried maids are called "Big Sister". They are mainly responsible for chores in the brothel, such as sweeping the floor and cleaning the table, serving food and water, making beds and making quilts, and dressing up the girls; , they brought tea and handed towels to them; the girls were out, and they followed with their musical instruments. However, Mei Xinlan and Tang Xiaowan had no distinction between master and servant at all, and they had become real sisters.

At this moment, the two of them are outside the east wing, peeking in through the window.

Tang Xiaowan covered her mouth, trembling all over, her eyes were full of astonishment and relief, Mei Xinlan raised her face and asked curiously: "Sister Wan, the hero you are talking about is this big tall guy, that is him, he uses his body as a You block the arrow,"

"That's right, it was him who rescued me from the prison..."

Mei Xinlan sighed: "I didn't expect that the hero you mentioned would come here, Miss Wan, what are you going to do next?"

Tang Xiaowan's original name was Tang Wan, and her brother was the first Gezai opera troupe leader to sing in the Chinese district of Balian, Manila; that is, the troupe that assassinated Yin Feng in the singing hall at the Taiwan pier on the eve of the counterattack against Luzon. Tang Jie's family and Because of this, the entire theater troupe was locked up by Lin Xiao, and Yin Feng rescued them after defeating the Spaniards. Tang Wan was originally arranged to recuperate at Yin Feng's house, but was taken away by his brother, and Tang Wan was resold in Quanzhou to After getting into the hands of human traffickers, Tang Wan appeared here after passing countless human traffickers' hands.

……

Zeng Shan and Xu Hongji left the East Wing to consciously get acquainted with those scholars and nobles.

Yin Feng and Chen Zhongji were chatting while listening to Mei Xinlan's guqin playing. They were not too interested in the elegant sound of the qin. Basically, Mei Xinlan was playing the qin to the cow. Feng likes painting; Chen Zhongji's greatest interest is commanding operations on the battlefield. Although he is not a fierce general like Yan Siqi, he is developing into a smart general.

Mei Xinlan took a look at Xiao Wan, and saw that she was focused on the tall man in the middle seat, she couldn't help sighing, and thought regretfully in her heart: the other party is the leader of a sea merchant, a sea tycoon, and he is commanding tens of thousands of people , has saved tens of thousands of lives (this is what Logan said, in fact Yin Feng rescued more than 3000 refugees from Manila), and I don't remember an inconspicuous woman, but this hero seems to be very concerned about his own life. I don't care about beauty at all, this is too...

Suddenly, the door of the east wing was knocked open, and a young man in bright clothes stumbled in.

"You little lady, you don't know anything. The man is happy. What kind of crap are you playing? It's so sad that it makes me feel sick when I drink. Come on, don't play any more. Let me go with you, let's go drink." ,"

Chen Zhongji reached into his arms at the first moment, grabbed the handle of the flintlock gun at his waist, Yin Feng reached out to stop him, and looked coldly at the unexpected visitor who suddenly barged in. This guy's eyes rolled around, obviously only Five points drunk, but pretending to be very drunk.

"Master Song, let go," Mei Xinlan was grabbed by the left wrist by someone, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Both Yin Feng and Chen Zhongji were suspicious in their hearts: This person seemed to be provoking on purpose, but why did he provoke him?

The old bustard in the side room stomped her feet and scolded: "Come here for whatever you are afraid of, this Mr. Song family is making trouble again," she hurried out.

Generally speaking, many girls in this kind of high-end brothel are entertainers but not themselves, and they have no white men, either officials and gentlemen or wealthy families, and generally seldom cause unreasonable troubles.

Yin Feng saw that the son surnamed Song was still pestering Mei Xinlan, stood up, just took a step, but saw the son shouted: "Come on! Do it!"

Suddenly, several men dressed as servants broke into the door and rushed towards Yin Feng.

Over the years, Yin Feng has not needed to deal with his enemies himself for a long time. However, he has a good physical foundation and has been training with soldiers of the Chinese Army all year round. At the age of nearly 30, he still maintains the physical condition of his [-]-year-old , Judo Kungfu has not been forgotten.

The first man who rushed forward empty-handed was kicked and turned around by Yin Feng like lightning, and he was thrown from the top of his head by Yin Feng, and fell directly from the window onto the corridor.

The second guy who rushed in was holding a stick, which was pitch-black and of unknown texture. Yin Feng kicked him head-on and knocked him to the ground. At the same time, the third guy who rushed in was knocked over by Chen Zhongji with a heavy chair. land.

Yin Feng grabbed another chair, pressed against the group of people at the door, and shouted loudly: "Ji Zai, grab this kid." Based on the principle of catching the thief first, Chen Zhongji rushed towards the Song Gongzi.

Suddenly, a man wearing a tunic rushed in from the window, brandishing a knife to guard the young master, Chen Zhongji pulled out the flintlock pistol in his arms without thinking...

Yin Feng took a step back and said in a deep voice, "Ji Zai, don't move your gun."

That Mr. Song shouted loudly: "Zhang Jun, this guy is holding the pistol."

Chen Zhongji was taken aback, took a step back, and immediately recognized Mr. Song, and thought to himself, "Not good."

Just half an hour ago, Chen Zhongji went out to clean his hands. Because of the dark sky, he accidentally bumped into the half-drunk Mr. Song in the toilet. His flintlock pistol was knocked to the ground. He quickly picked it up and put it in his arms At that time, he didn't pay attention to this stumbling young master.

In this era, flintlock pistols were only produced in Taiwan. The Zhonghua United Company produced a kind of carved flintlock pistol inlaid with gold, which was specially used to bribe those coastal officers and generals. It had both self-defense and decorative functions, but it was deliberately produced The barrel of the gun is made so small that this pistol can basically only injure people within ten steps, and if it doesn't happen to hit a vital point, it will definitely not kill people. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only some Ming army officers on the southern coast have this kind of fancy impractical pistols, not more than thirty in total,
