Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

On that day, Qiao Rui encountered the four kings of wine, sex, money and anger on the road. The King of Wine made a very interesting bet with him, and the two of them agreed to come to Luoyang to guess who was the most beautiful woman.

The King of Wealth admired the King of Wine, so he naturally hated this bet. He threatened that no one was allowed to come to Luoyang, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

At this time, Qiao Rui came to the place where he had an appointment with the Wine King, and saw that not only were all the desires for wine, sex, money and power gathered there, but the Wine King also rewarded the top girl Yudie in Hanchun Tower with an orchid, which was a full five hundred taels of silver. Presumably, Yudie was the girl he had chosen as the most beautiful courtesan.

Cai Ling'er was known as the money king who was very calculative, so naturally she attached great importance to money. At this moment, her eyebrows were raised, and she was tightly pinching the soft flesh on the waist of the wine king Zhuo Yifei, cursing under her breath.

"You dare to reward me 500 taels in front of me. If I didn't come, you would be so arrogant!" This also explains why they followed Zhuo Yifei to Luoyang.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts... Let go!" Zhuo Yifei begged for mercy repeatedly, his eyes darting around, and he winked at the King of Color and the King of Anger, signaling them to stop the fight quickly.

Zhuo Hongtao, the King of Lust, and Zhuo Jingwu, the King of Angry, held their wine glasses, ignored Zhuo Yifei's request for help, and turned to look at the top beauty on the flower stand outside the window.

All three of them had the surname Zhuo. They were childhood friends who lived in the same village, went to the same school and shared the same dormitory. They could be considered half brothers. Cai Ling'er had been bullying Zhuo Yifei since they were young, and the two of them had suffered a lot as a result. Of course, they didn't dare to provoke Cai Ling'er at this moment.

Zhuo Yifei saw that his brother was unreliable, looked at Qiao Rui opposite him, rolled his eyes, and said, "Cousin, let go quickly, people are laughing at us!"

Cai Ling'er then realized that Qiao Rui had a smile on his face and was staring at them with great interest.

Cai Ling'er blushed and loosened her grip on Zhuo Yifei, but glared at Qiao Rui again.

"Men deserve to be punished!"

I don’t know whether he was scolding Qiao Rui or Zhuo Yifei.

Zhuo Yifei escaped from the clutches of the devil, winked at Qiao Rui and looked very slutty.

"By the way, where did you get the five hundred taels? Did you hide some private money behind my back?" Cai Ling'er suddenly remembered something and reached out to pinch Zhuo Yifei again.

Zhuo Yifei reacted quickly this time. He grabbed Cai Ling'er's hand and held it in his palm, and hurriedly explained, "Hidden private money? That's impossible. How could I hide it from you? I got this money from the second and fourth brothers."

"You three collected it together? What about the remaining 100 taels?"

The four of them accepted a mission to rob and kill Qiao Rui, and received a deposit of three thousand taels of silver. They kept one thousand taels as a reserve fund for the stronghold, which was kept by Cai Ling'er. The remaining two thousand taels were divided into five hundred taels each among the four men. Cai Ling'er was afraid that they would misuse it, so she only gave two hundred taels to each of the three men, and the remaining three hundred taels was kept by Cai Ling'er. So the three men actually had a total of six hundred taels of silver, and five hundred taels were used up in one go, so Cai Ling'er asked where the remaining one hundred taels went.

"Fifty taels to book the inn, and fifty taels to buy a seat in this restaurant for a few days!" Wine King Zhuo Yifei said truthfully.

"Prodigal son, without me you won't survive more than three days or you'll have to beg for food..." Cai Ling'er's eyebrows twitched, and she tried hard to suppress her anger, looking angry but helpless.

Watching them quarreling, Qiao Rui's heart was moved. Once upon a time, there was such a beautiful and tall woman, who was careless, noisy, and nagging all day long, but was actually thrifty and devoted to living with you. Alas...

Cai Ling'er suddenly saw Qiao Rui still staring at her blankly, and glared at her, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a man being trained?"

Qiao Rui came back to his senses, his expression was a bit complicated, he smiled bitterly and nodded, "Very good!"

Very good? Cai Linger looked down at her chest, then turned to Zhuo Yifei and said, "Cousin, he flirted with your sister!"

"Don't make trouble!"

Zhuo Yifei knew that Qiao Rui didn't mean that. Judging from his expression, he must be a man with a story to tell. So he laughed it off and stopped his cousin from making trouble.

At this time, a waiter came over, handed over a golden hairpin with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is Miss Yudie's return gift to you!"

"Oh my, you got this thing for five hundred taels? It only sells for twenty or so taels in a jewelry store." Cai Ling'er snatched the hairpin and curled her lips, "It's just like the goods we brought back then, just to fool you fools!"

"How can they be the same!" Zhuo Yifei argued, and ignored Cai Ling'er. He turned to Qiao Rui and asked, "Do you have a favorite top pick?"

Qiao Rui looked at the beauties on the flowerbed outside the window, shook his head and said, "Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums each have their own strengths. It's hard to make a decision with just a quick glance!"

"Why, do you still want to get to know each of those girls better?" Zhuo Yifei said with a meaningful smile.

Qiao Rui's eyes were clear, and he didn't respond to Zhuo Yifei's words. He withdrew his gaze from the flower bed and said with a smile: "If we really have to make a decision, it doesn't matter who we choose. Then let's choose Miss Yu Lu. After all, she can be regarded as an ambassador for our Longxing City!"

Yu Lu, the top girl in Yunyu Tower in Longxing City, is petite and exquisite with delicate features. She wears a green gauze dress that flutters in the wind, revealing her fair and delicate skin, which looks crystal clear.

"Her face is like peach blossoms, her eyebrows are like willow leaves, and she has a natural cherry mouth. Her cheeks are red when she is shy without speaking, and her figure is delicate and tender like water. Very good, petite and exquisite, also a top-notch one. Brother Qiao is indeed a master here." Zhuo Yifei clapped his hands and laughed.

The angry king Zhuo Jingwu standing aside also had a smirk on his face, an expression that all men can understand.

"Hey!" Cai Ling'er slapped the table and said angrily, "I'm still here, please pay attention to the impact!"

"Uh..." Zhuo Yifei's expression changed, and he looked very serious. "Since Miss Yu Lu has been chosen, the bet is officially effective. Brother Qiao, why don't you fight for the beauty to be on the flower list?"

"Okay!" Qiao Rui nodded, called the waiter over, took out some loose change, and said, "Send a crabapple flower to Miss Yu Lu from Yunyu Tower for me!"

The clerk took the silver, smacked his lips, and dared not say anything. He turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Zhuo Yifei stopped the waiter and said, "A fourth-grade crabapple for only five taels of silver is too low!"

He looked somewhat dissatisfied, pointed at the people standing around the flower bed below the restaurant, and pursed his lips at Qiao Rui.

"Those who send gifts of fifth and fourth rank can only stand below. Nowadays, just to reserve a seat in the restaurant around the flower terrace, you have to pay five taels of silver a day, and the wine, food and snacks have to be doubled. Therefore, those who sit in this restaurant either don't spend money, or they must be generous. Otherwise, they will be looked down upon!"

"Oh?" Qiao Rui recalled the guy's expression just now. Was it contempt?

He found it a little funny that he, a man who could easily give a reward of five taels of silver, was actually looked down upon by a waiter who only earned three or five taels of silver a month. However, he didn't want to make a fuss with a small waiter.

Although I am humble, it does not prevent me from despising you. People who look down on others are not uncommon, both in ancient and modern times.

"Then, give me the third-grade magnolia?" Qiao Rui shook his head and laughed, and said to Zhuo Yifei.
