Ming Empire

Chapter 29 Qin Huai Eight Beauty
Cao Yue was also free for a few days after he arrived in Beijing to face the saint and handed over all affairs to the emperor.

It has been over a month since time travel to Daming.For more than a month, Cao Yue spent most of his time in tension and anxiety. Even when he escorted Daishan and returned to Songshan with Chuanguo Yuxi, he did not completely let go of his thoughts.After seeing Emperor Chongzhen, he handed in the Chuanguo Yuxi, and after receiving the reward, all his thoughts were almost lost.In the next time, he is also preparing to take over as the commander-in-chief of Datong.

Emperor Chongzhen also asked Cao Yue to rest for a period of time, and then talk to him after the rest.Emperor Chongzhen felt that Cao Yue could be of great use. Cao Yue was young and was not influenced by those stubborn ministers in the court. He could be trained as a general he trusted, and he might be useful at critical moments.

Cao Yue's father, Cao Wenzhao, was very appreciated by Emperor Chongzhen back then. Cao Wenzhao also gave Emperor Chongzhen many surprises. Unfortunately, due to an accident, Cao Wenzhao died in the rebellion, which made Chongzhen feel that he had lost a good general.Because of Cao Wenzhao, Chongzhen gave high hopes to Cao Yue, who was outstanding and just at the age of the crown, and wanted to cultivate it well.

Cao Yue understood that Emperor Chongzhen looked at him differently.At a young age, he became the commander-in-chief and was able to lead an army alone. Cao Yue was full of hope for his life after time travel, and he also encouraged himself repeatedly to change history through hard work. Occupy China.

If Emperor Chongzhen really looked at him differently, Cao Yue was going to ask for something from Chongzhen, including policy treatment.When he became the commander-in-chief, he had an army under his command. Cao Yue wanted to make the army under his command into an elite army that could defeat Jiannu's elite soldiers.

If Emperor Chongzhen could agree to some of his conditions and give him support, Cao Yue believed that his wish would come true.

Cao Yue knows how powerful the Ming army is now. Most of the Ming army is a mob. If there is no systematic training, the combat effectiveness will be scum, and the threat of civil uprising and slavery will definitely not be eliminated.Today's Ming Dynasty has been fragmented, and it can be described as lingering remnants. Compared with the early Southern Song Dynasty, it is similar. If some necessary changes are not made, the collapse of Daming is inevitable.

Cao Yue's camp was still set up outside the city. The thousands of soldiers and horses he brought could not enter the city.

Cao Yue can enter the city, but he can't bring too many followers.He was going to take a good rest for two days, make up for the lack of sleep during this period, and then go to the city to take a good stroll after recovering his energy.Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was definitely a world of flowers and flowers. Since it was rare to come here once, we had to have fun.

But the plan is always better than change. The next morning after he was drunk, when Cao Yue was still sleeping soundly in the camp, he was woken up by the people around him, saying that someone had come to visit him.Cao Yue was a little annoyed when someone disturbed his sleep, but finally got up to receive him.

The person who came to visit turned out to be the dandy Chang Yanling I met at the celebration banquet yesterday, and there were two other young people who came with Chang Yanling.

Unexpectedly, it was Chang Yanling who came to visit, Cao Yue was quite surprised.

"I'm really sorry for disturbing General Cao's rest." Chang Yanling also expressed embarrassment after meeting and greeting, and immediately explained why he came, "My brothers all admire General Cao's bravery and want to make friends with General Cao." This friend. Guessing that General Cao should be free today, he took the liberty of visiting, and wanted to invite General Cao to the city for a few drinks, listen to music, and have a good time. I don’t know what General Cao wants?"

It turned out that he had brought himself to drink. Yesterday, he drank too much and almost made a mistake. Today, he was still a little groggy. Cao Yue resisted drinking, but he was too embarrassed to refuse after hearing Chang Yanling's sincerity, so he agreed. .This guy looks like a dandy, he must be a rich man, but he came to visit as soon as he met yesterday, he should be regarded as a man of love, and it is good to make a few friends with wine and meat, not to mention that Chang Yanling is a descendant of a famous family. "Thank you, Brother Chang, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient!"

Seeing that Cao Yue did not refuse, Chang Yanling was very happy, and immediately introduced several of his companions to Cao Yue.Chang Yanling is currently serving as the Qianhu of Jinyiwei, and the two who came with him are also Jinyiwei, Zhang Shize and Guo Peimin, deputy Qianhu.

Chang Yanling, Zhang Shize, and Guo Peimin are all hereditary relatives. Chang Yanling is the descendant of Chang Yuchun, the founding marshal of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shize is the descendant of the British Duke Zhang Fu, and Guo Peimin is the descendant of Guo Ying, the founding general and Marquis of Wu Ding. .After some conversation, Cao Yue also came to the conclusion that the few in front of him were well-known gangsters in Beijing, the kind of gangsters that ordinary people can't provoke, but they are more bold and righteous.

Cao Yue likes to make friends with such people. He also knows the energy of these people in Beijing. Maybe these people can help him a lot. It may be of great benefit to make friends with them. The one who was woken up just now Soon it will be gone.

There was not much difference in age between the several people, they were all in their early twenties, after some words, the restraint at the beginning quickly disappeared, and they began to speak casually.Chang Yanling also suggested to go out as soon as possible. He reserved a table at the famous Tianxiang Tower, and now it's just lunch time. A few people can drink together, listen to music and dance, and have a good time.

Cao Yue did not refuse, followed Chang Yanling, Zhang Shize, and Guo Peimin out of the barracks, and rode straight towards Beijing.

Tianxiang Tower is not far from the Forbidden City, near the bustling Gulou Street.

Tianxiang Building has a great reputation and high consumption, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

On the way, Chang Yanling quietly told Cao Yue that there are many beauties here. During this time, Cao Yue led troops to fight in Songshan, so he must have never had good food, let alone be accompanied by beauties. Cao Yue enjoyed it.

Only then did Cao Yue realize that the place Chang Yanling took him to was the brothel courtyard.But already on the road, Cao Yue couldn't repent, so he could only bite the bullet and follow Chang Yanling and others.He also knew that it was normal for children of noble families to visit brothels in ancient times, and they didn't necessarily go there to find women. There were many arty people, and many of them just wanted to listen to music and dance, and have fun.

Chang Yanling and the others are regular customers of Tianxianglou. Just when they came here on horseback, the owner of the shop personally came out to greet them, welcomed them upstairs, and arranged the best private room for them.In fact, Cao Yue didn't know that Chang Yanling was the boss here, and the area around the Drum Tower was in charge of Jinyiwei under his name. Although the backstage of Tianxianglou was strong, he didn't dare to easily offend Chang Yanling, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and he must be regarded as a Guests of honor.

The four of them entered the private room, and soon the juniors brought up gourmet snacks.

Just as Cao Yue was drinking hot tea and tasting some snacks, a gust of fragrant wind came in, and a group of beautiful young women walked in, led by a very delicately dressed middle-aged woman.

After the blessing ceremony, the group of young women stood on one side, and the coquettish middle-aged woman in the lead walked up to Chang Yanling with a coquettish smile, leaned on Chang Yanling, giggled and said : "Master Chang, you haven't come for several days, and the sisters miss you very much. Today you finally came, and the sisters are very happy. You can't neglect them, and let them take good care of you."

As he said, he picked up his wine glass and prepared to respect Chang Yanling.

"Sister Li is concerned about the money in my brother's pockets." Chang Yanling pinched the buttocks of the alluring woman with a lewd smile, drank the wine in the woman's hand, and then pointed to the side. Cao Yue, who was a little embarrassed, said: "Do you know that this is General Cao who just returned from Liaodong and took over the slaves' lair. Long live Lord personally hosted a banquet for him and personally issued an imperial edict to reward him. Today, you should take good care of Cao. General, if you don’t take good care of him, I will be annoyed, sir, and I might even tear down your Tianxiang Tower.”

If you want to say where the most well-informed place is, it is not comparable to the brothel yard located in the street. People from all walks of life will come here, and all kinds of news come from different people's mouths, and spread to other places through other people's mouths.Any news, through this channel, quickly spread throughout Beijing. The news that Cao Yue led his army to break through Shengjing had already spread throughout Beijing, and the women in Tianxianglou, of course, knew about it a long time ago.

A hero like Cao Yue is naturally the object of admiration for the women. I didn't expect that this great hero is sitting in front of them today, and he is also a handsome, tall and strong guy.Immediately, many women's eyes lit up, and some people flocked to Cao Yue's side without waiting to be greeted, talking about admiration, hoping to get Cao Yue's favor and let them accompany him.

After more than ten years of red education, Cao Yue, who is usually very pure in thinking, was at a loss when faced with this situation, his handsome face turned red, and he almost wanted to get up and run away.Seeing Cao Yue's embarrassment, Chang Yanling and others burst out laughing.They also immediately came to the conclusion that Cao Yue was a fledgling with no experience in romantic affairs.

They also asked Cao Yue to choose one or several women to wait on. If they liked him, they would let them sleep tonight.Cao Yue, who had never thought about recruiting prostitutes, finally politely rejected the proposal of Chang Yanling and others, saying that he would go back to the camp to sleep, but he did not refuse to let the women serve and drink.

Chang Yanling thought that Cao Yue looked down on these women, so he didn't force it, and finally said mysteriously: "Brother Yue, to be honest, the women here are really not that good. If there is a chance, when will my brother take you there?" For fun in Nanjing, Qinhuai Bayan is the best among women, if you see them, other women will look down on you."

"Nanjing, Qinhuai Bayan?" Cao Yue, who knew a little about the situation, suddenly became interested, "Could it be that Brother Chang has been to Nanjing and seen the charm of Qinhuai Bayan?"

"I've been there once, and I've seen a few of them. They really deserve their reputation. Their looks and talents are really amazing, alas!" Stay in Nanjing for a long time, otherwise it is possible to kiss Fangze."
