Li Xuandu said: "That is to say, now Zui Chunfeng's forces only have one chief steward and Feng Louchun, the chief steward. How long will it take to deal with them?"

Qin Louyue said: "Because today is the day of the flower girl election, the chief steward Feng Louchun's manpower is concentrated in Jinfengyuan where the flower girl selection is held, but let's ignore it for now. My manpower is maintaining order in the city. On the contrary, there are not many people in the 'Qionglou'. Only the chief steward Cui Louyin's manpower is responsible for defense."

Bai Mei Niang said: "Cui Louyin is Zui Chunfeng's loyal and direct descendant, so Zui Chunfeng will let him be responsible for his own defense. His manpower is mainly concentrated above the seventh floor of the entire 'Qionglou'. Now we are on the third floor, which is guarded by Qin Louyue and my manpower."

Li Xuandu asked: "Chou Nuer goes to help Bai Mei Niang, Hu Liang goes to help Qin Louyue, how long will it take you?"

Bai Mei Niang thought for a while and replied: "One hour."

Hu Liang clapped his hands and smiled: "One hour Chen, not too much, not too little, it should be enough. When we ambushed the Right Commander of the Qingluan Guard who returned from the palace to the Commander's Mansion of the Qingluan Guard at Chengtian Gate, we only prepared for two hours. This kind of thing depends on the word "fast", so fast that it can't be covered by lightning, otherwise it will change. "

Li Xuandu recalled the past and said, "Back then, twenty masters of the Xiantian Realm were able to ambush the Right Commander of the Qingluan Guard who was in the Guizhen Realm. Now we have three Guizhen Realm masters and two Xiantian Realm masters who can barely serve as Guizhen Realm masters. It shouldn't be difficult to kill a Guizhen Realm master."

Hu Liang reached out to hold the "Grand Master" hanging on his waist and said, "Let's talk about these later. Let's do the business first. Old Li, you wait for us here. In the words of Old Shen and Old Brother Song, this is called central dispatch."

Li Xuan didn't refuse, and nodded, "Okay."

From beginning to end, the emotions of the two did not fluctuate too much. There was no excitement or tension, only calmness. After all, nothing can compare to the past. After participating in the Imperial Capital Incident, which was directly intervened by the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Man Realm, the current incident in the Tianle Sect was nothing.

These palaces were built on the mountain, and the corridors connected between them were like the Qin-Shu plank roads. Holes were dug in the mountain walls to support wood beams, and wooden boards were laid on top to form plank roads, and railings were set on the plank roads.

After the four people left, Li Xuan did not wait in this long-abandoned palace as he had said, but came out of the palace door, stood on the railing of the corridor outside, and then reached out to climb the bottom beam of the upper corridor. With the strength of only one arm, he swung his body out of the corridor, and then used the power of inertia to flip up and quietly jumped to the upper floor.

Before Chounu'er left Tianle Sect, this towering "Qionglou" actually only had three floors, so she, as the chief steward at the time, could only be on the third floor. However, after she left, Zui Chunfeng gradually built it to nine floors. The hall where he was located was on the ninth floor, while Bai Mei Niang and others were on the seventh or eighth floor.

At this time, Li Xuandu came to the fourth floor, where most of the middle-level disciples of Tianle Sect were, such as the deacon who died in his hands. It was just because today was the day to select the most beautiful woman, whether it was the deacon or the ordinary disciples in Tianle Sect, they were all busy in the "Tianle Peach Blossom Land", and this place became empty and there were not many people.

Li Xuandu walked slowly in the corridor, his footsteps were crisp and clear, not like he was in the key hinterland of someone else's house, but like he was strolling in his own garden.

Li Xuandu whispered to himself: "In the mountains, there are green mountains and in the buildings, the music and dance will never stop. The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and they think Zhongzhou is Jiangzhou. 'Drunk in the spring breeze', drunk in the spring breeze, I wonder if you are also drunk in this decadent wind?"

Jinfeng Garden, originally named Chunfeng Garden, was renamed Jinfeng Garden to avoid his name after Zui Chunfeng became the leader of Tianle Sect.

Jinfeng Garden is the largest courtyard in "Tianle Taoyuan", covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres. It is to Tianle Taoyuan like the imperial city is to the imperial capital, so the annual selection of the courtesan is held here.

According to the rules, such a grand event should have been personally attended by the leader of Tianle Sect as the local host, but Zui Chunfeng was in a bad mood because of the arrival of Qingluan Guard, so he asked Feng Louchun to host it on his behalf, which made Feng Louchun very flustered. After all, welcoming guests from all directions is not an easy thing. For those real nobles, it is easy to say that they can come as much as they want, and everything is of the highest standard, and there is nothing wrong with it. But those who are only half-baked are extremely troublesome. This kind of people are qualified to participate in the selection of the oiran, but they are not big money holders. Instead, they hope to get to know some real nobles through this matter. Their purpose is not pure, and they have a lot of small calculations, such as whether the position is in the front or the back, and whether the maidservant who serves them is ugly or pretty. The most afraid of meeting those who can't recognize their own position, always want to compare with those who are higher than themselves, and look down on those who are not much different from themselves. They are not this, nor that, and are the most difficult to serve.

This is a great test of Feng Louchun's ability to treat people. No matter what, these people are either rich or noble. If "Tianle Taoyuan" wants to make a lot of money, it has to deal with these people.

In the center of Jinfeng Garden, there is a two-story pavilion modeled after the theater in the capital city. The first floor is ordinary seats, the second floor is private seats, and then there is a huge stage where girls perform and many guests comment on them.

What is elegance?

The few powerful people who stand at the top of the world advocate elegance, because they want to use this to distinguish themselves from ordinary people, so "elegance" is always in the hands of a few people, and what most people like is "vulgarity".

Take some literati and celebrities for example. Most people in the world like peonies, which are vulgar. I prefer chrysanthemums, so that I can show my unvulgarity. Otherwise, how can I be a "refined scholar"?

This is also the case with visiting brothels. Most people come to such a place of fireworks and see such a beautiful girl. What would they want to do? It must be the matter of undressing and raining. Of course, the powerful people cannot do this. They must pay attention to the mood and status. Everything is about "elegance". Before doing business, they should have tea, play a few games of chess, and it is best to sing poems and lyrics. Finally, they should drink until they are three or four points drunk, and perform the Yuansheng ceremony with a little drunkenness. Only then is it "elegant". If you are impatient to take off your clothes and do it as soon as you enter the door, it is "vulgar" and inferior.

The same is true for the selection of courtesans at this time. If women are asked to pose on the stage, that is something that only women in ordinary brothels can do, which is vulgar. These red-card girls have to do things that ordinary women cannot do, that is, talking about the piano, playing chess, painting, reciting poems, composing lyrics, singing, dancing, and playing music. Just talking about the last two, there are ancient dances of the Six Dynasties, Hu dances, and even women who can play the sword dance. Not to mention the musical instruments, there are qin, se, pipa, flute, flute, xiao, sheng, yu, drum, and even women who can play chimes. In this world where women are virtuous without talent, there are very few women who can do these things after all, which is "elegant".

Today's courtesan selection must be a place of elegance.

Once a famous scholar laughed and said that the brothel is a dirty place, but it can give birth to elegance, just like the white lotus out of the mud without being stained.

At this time, as the hot candidates for this selection of the most popular courtesans, four red-card girls have appeared one after another, namely, Jade Butterfly Girl of Liuli Pavilion, Snowflake Flying Girl of Huichun Garden, Water Fairy Girl of Rumeng Garden, and Qing Jinzhi Girl of Taohong Building. Of course, there are other women who serve as supporting roles. The gathering of thousands of beauties is truly a beautiful sight on earth.

On the "Qionglou", three people looked at this place from afar.

In the top floor of the ninth floor hall, Zui Chunfeng held a glass of fine wine in his right hand, overlooking Jinfeng Garden, and then drank the wine in the glass.

On the next floor, Lu Yanbing stood by the railing. As a woman, she naturally didn't like this place. Hearing the faint sound of stringed instruments, she stretched out her hand expressionlessly and held a leaf that floated from nowhere. After a short silence, she jumped out of the corridor, head upside down, and her body fell straight down.

At this time, on the corridor on the fourth floor, Li Xuandu stood with his hands behind his back, just in time to meet Lu Yanbing who was falling, and their sights passed by each other.

In the short time that the two men met, Lu Yanbing opened his mouth silently and said four words.

Li Xuan recognized the four words by the shape of his mouth.

"Go ahead and kill."
