Jianghu Is Not Solitude

The setting sun looked like it was left with blood. The cage above Yangzhou City made the ancient city look more and more ancient.

A breeze blew over, bringing with it a slight chill, and it also caused Yangzhou City to begin to recover.

People slowly walked into the streets, more and more of them. The teahouses, the wine houses, the brothels, the casinos, they had all contracted the biggest activity in the city, as well as the theatres.

Fang Zhenyuan and co. did not like to listen to the drama. Although there were many beautiful people in the show, in the end, they were not as amorous as the fireworks girl.

At this moment, the cheerful building was full of people. Some came to eat, some came to watch the dance, and of course, most were clients.

There was a very large table in the hall, and many of the guests sat around it. Of course, the prices were also different, because even though the table was round, the people on the stage were not, so the front was naturally more expensive, followed by the side, and the back was the bottom.

At this time, on the stage stood a group of flirtatious kabuki, all of them were graceful, their bodies were graceful, as they moved about, they were extremely charming, and from time to time they would whistle, and countless silver coins were thrown up like rain onto the stage, covering it in a dark red carpet.

Fang Zhenyuan also threw 10 taels of silver over, but he felt that it was not worth it because even though these girls were beautiful, their reputations were not as great as Yan Jiuniang's. He wanted to give more of the bounty to Yan Jiuniang!

Chun Zhi had already noticed Fang Zhenyuan and his men long ago, but she was too lazy to greet them. The reward that Fang Zhenyuan offered was too small! However, looking at the bag of silver Du Conglong gave her in the afternoon, she still ordered the waiter to call out to her diligently, so as to not slow down Fang Zhenyuan and the others.

He had already drunk several cups of wine and eaten most of the dishes, but since he had not seen Jiu Niang's face, Fang Zhenyuan could not sit still. He had just raised his eyebrows when Du Conglong suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Madam, come out!"

He shouted three times in a row with a loud voice, and the last shout caused all the cups and plates on the table to fall to the ground, scaring all the customers present. Seeing that if he did not appear soon enough, something bad would happen, Chun Zhi's face would have been covered in a smile. If you say it out loud, I will definitely make him suffer! "

Du Conglong glared at Chunzhi coldly, and said with a sneer, "Madam, I've been here for a few afternoons. I presume you know what we're here for? We've been sitting here for a long time, why are you still hanging us up? Are you looking down on us? Or are you afraid that we don't have enough money? "

When Spring Branch heard this, his face froze for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "What are you trying to say, sir? We, who run a brothel, have always treated our customers as our lords. How could we dare to look down on others? "

"Then tell us, what is the purpose of leaving us here to see these mediocre and vulgar powder?" Du Conglong asked.

When Chun Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but suppress the smile on his face. He said with a cold face, "Honored guest, you shouldn't say such things! Which one of us, the young lady of the Pleasant House, was not chosen by the Grand Selection? If we were to randomly pick one of them, we might even be considered one of the top figures in the world, let alone Yangzhou City. How could the words' mediocre, mediocre, mediocre, and ordinary 'be compatible with her? "

"Bastard!" From your tone, could it be that this grandpa is still unable to tell who's prettier? " Du Conglong said coldly.

"Humph!" Seeing your appearance, how could you know the word 'beautiful' and 'ugly'? " Chunzhi sneered.

When Du Conglong heard this, his expression changed greatly from anger. He stood up and grabbed onto Spring Branch's neck and shouted: "I've traveled far and wide and met so many people, yet no one dares speak to me like this. Who the hell do you think you are? You actually dare to mock me? Do you believe that I won't be able to break your neck with just a little bit of effort? "

Although Spring Branch was grabbed by the neck, his expression did not change. He coldly laughed and said, "Dear guest, who have I never seen in my brothels? I've never seen anyone dare to talk to me by the throat! "If you really have the guts, try twisting it. I, too, would like to taste what it feels like to have your neck broken by someone else!"

As she said this, dozens of men holding steel sabers jumped out from upstairs. Although all of them were dressed like waiters, they had very fierce expressions on their faces, especially those who had jumped down from upstairs. Fang Zhenyuan could tell that all of these people had peerless skills!

In this way, the atmosphere in the hall became clearly tense. All the guests who were having fun held their breaths and looked in their direction, but there wasn't much fear on their faces. On the contrary, they were filled with anticipation, because everyone had the mindset of watching a show, and they often hoped that it would be as lively as possible!

"Let her go! "You bastard!" Afraid that the situation would blow up, Fang Zhenyuan could only step forward and yell for her to stop.

Du Conglong pushed aside the spring branch, glared with a pair of ice-cold eyes, and said: "If you're sensible, immediately get Yan Jiuniang to come out and toast the three of us. If not, I'll turn your Happy House upside down!"

"So arrogant?" "Don't tell me you really think that this happy house is a place for people to behave as they will? "Listen up, if this scoundrel dares to cause trouble, cut him into pieces and feed him to the dogs. If something happens, I, the madam, will carry it all by myself!"

"Yes sir!" The thugs responded in unison, causing the beams of the room to tremble!

When Chang Ao saw this, he stretched out his hand to pull Fang Zhenyuan away before smiling, "Boss, ever since you spent 900 taels of silver to hire this thug as your bodyguard, I have not seen him fight a match. I wonder if he has any real skills, I think today is a good opportunity, why not let him show it?"

When Fang Zhenyuan heard that, he looked at Chang Ao and saw that he was calm. He immediately smiled and sat down, saying: "That is reasonable! Slave Dragon, you only care about Lulu's abilities. If you are outstanding, I am willing to add your compensation. If you lose face for me, then prepare to change! "

"Alright!" As Du Xianglong finished speaking, he shook his neck, and his fists clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. He smiled and said, "Brothers, I'm sorry! My boss wants to watch my performance, so I can only use you guys to practice! "

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to react, he suddenly took a big stride forward and pulled a shop assistant over his head. Then, he gently pushed the waiter upstairs, and that person was thrown up to the second floor!

This was a clean and beautiful move. Everyone could not help but be dumbfounded when they saw this. However, it angered the rest of the thugs. They shouted one after another and waved their sabers around to surround them!

Du Conglong was in no hurry, dodging at times, throwing out punches at times, and he was even more adept at using the thirteen guards' skills. In just a moment, all of the tens of fighters present were beaten black and blue by him, and many of them were intentionally thrown onto the second floor. He thought to himself, This should at least alarm Niang to come out and take a look.

"Go!" Hurry up! You bunch of trash! " Chun Zhi was both angry and shocked. He desperately kicked those thugs who were lying on the ground, hoping that they would stand up again. However, perhaps they were afraid, or perhaps they were truly heavily injured.

When Du Conglong saw this, he could not help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha! You dare to scare people with these useless things? What a joke! "

When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Fang Zhenyuan with a complacent smile, "Boss, I didn't lose face for you did I?"

Suddenly, four women flew out from the third floor. They wore blue, pink, blue, and green cheongsam dresses, and looked like four fairies as they leisurely slid down from four different directions. Their graceful and elegant movements, in addition to their devastatingly beautiful appearance, caused one to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air; they were most likely fairies that had entered the mortal world!

Among them, there were some customers who had understood the truth and could not help but be ecstatic. They clapped their hands and shouted, "Yan Jiuniang is coming out!"

She was originally not a fairy, but she was even more beautiful than a fairy. Her appearance was like a sheet of ice, so cold that no one dared to breathe, and also like a cup of wine that suddenly appeared in the middle of winter. It was so warm that it made one's heart fill with joy, but at the same time, one could not tell what she was feeling!

However, the only flaw was the green cloth covering her face. It was better to say that this green cloth increased her mysteriousness than to say that this green cloth increased everyone's expectations.

Du Conglong was already dumbstruck and could not help but think to himself: "So there really is such a beauty in this world. How can a man reject such a beauty?" If I can share a request with her, so what if I die? "

Fang Zhenyuan stood up unconsciously and walked towards the stage uncontrollably, muttering to himself: "What a great Yan Jiuniang, truly unparalleled in the world!"

"Sir guest, you are drunk!" Yan Jiuniang softly said.

Fang Zhenyuan smiled indifferently, he stroked his beard and said: "No, I'm not drunk! I'm very sober! "

"If you aren't drunk, then why are you causing trouble here?" If you weren't drunk, why are you closing in on me like this? " Yan Jiuniang asked.

Fang Zhenyuan was slightly stunned and stopped in his tracks. He felt a stinging sensation on his face and smiled, "If I was drunk, it would be because of you, Jiu Niang. It's a pity that you're wearing a veil, so I can't see your true face. What a pity!"

"Isn't it easy to see Nona? As long as I can take out 9000 silver! " Chun Zhi let out a cold laugh as he slowly walked in front of Fang Zhenyuan, "Dear guest, do you have nine thousand taels?"

Fang Zhenyuan was mesmerized by her actions, but was suddenly cut off by her actions. He couldn't help but get annoyed and tried to move his body to the side to avoid the Spring Branch, but he was blocked once again. He asked, "Do you have 9000 taels of silver?"

"Isn't it just nine thousand gold?" What is it? Not only do I have to see her true appearance, I also have to request for a drink with her. Fang Zhenyuan said angrily.

Before he could even respond, a tea cup flew over to him from the side. It was as fast as lightning and hit his mouth with a 'bang', almost knocking out his teeth. When the cup shattered, the hot tea spilled out and scalded his mouth, causing him to scream out in pain, "What kind of scoundrel dares to sneak an attack on me?"

Just as he finished speaking, a young man suddenly appeared in front of him. It was unknown where he came from, how he came here, but it was as if he had come from the ground. His face was filled with disdain, and his voice was so cold that it caused one's heart to tremble. "It's a pity that you've ruined my cup of tea!"

Fang Zhenyuan was finally able to confirm who the person who tried to ambush him was, and he finally had a target to vent his anger on. He glared coldly at the person and shouted: "You scoundrel, you dare to say such rude words, you're simply courting death!"

As soon as the word "die" came out of his mouth, Du Conglong, who was at the side, jumped over with a loud shout. With a "hu" sound, he threw a punch at the young gentleman, but he was only lucky enough to land one, and was unable to move any further!

The young man's sword was already at his throat. He had become smarter and calmer!

The young man yawned, then laughed, "I should have killed you with one strike, but killing you would have dirtied my sword. It's not worth it!"

When Du Conglong heard this, he couldn't help but burn with anger. But there was nothing he could do. After all, it was too easy to kill him!

"Kid, who exactly are you? Can you state your name? " Fang Zhenyuan asked solemnly.

"How can a dog like you be qualified to know my name?" The young gongzi asked with a disdainful expression.

"Could it be that you are the prodigal swordsman called 'Soul Snatching Sword', Gu Yiyang?" Chang Ao tried asking.

The young man laughed loudly and said, "So there are people who know me here. It seems that these years of travelling have not been in vain!"

"He is Gu Yiyang?" Fang Zhenyuan looked at Chang Ao in shock, "Why are you so young?" Didn't the martial arts world say that he was in his forties? "

Chang Ao smiled bitterly and said, "There aren't many people in the martial arts world who know his age, because many who have seen him are already dead! People only instinctively felt that in order to practice such a high level of swordsmanship, one would have to be at least forty years old, which was why they thought that Gu Yiyang was a swordsman in his forties! "

"Then how can you recognize him at once?" Fang Zhenyuan asked.

"I only recognized him through his sword!" Chang Ao gave a wry smile, "Have you never seen or heard of the Spirit Plunder before?"

Fang Zhenyuan subconsciously looked over and saw that the sword sheath was indeed quite unique. There were actually nine birds carved on it. If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to find!

There were countless treasured swords and scabbards in the world, but only Gu Yiyang's scabbard had nine birds carved into it. This was because the nine birds were actually referring to Yan Jiuniang!

However, no one would have thought of this. Everyone only thought that Gu Yiyang was the love of the swallow, and that was all!

Fang Zhenyuan only felt a burst of bitterness in his mouth, but it was still a bit numb. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Since you're Gu Yiyang, so what?"

"I don't want to do anything either. I just want you to get out of here!" Gu Yiyang calmly replied.
