Sir, this sword is a keepsake

Daliang Capital, Luoyang.It looks at Longmen in the south, Mang Mountain in the north, and Luoshui River runs through it.The post road on the outskirts of the city is the busiest road in the world.At this time, warblers were flying and grass was growing, and there was an endless stream of chariots and horses. No one paid much attention to Shen Fang, the "Taoist".Many people, like Shen Fang, came from afar, but since they were not far from Luoyang City, they looked more or less excited when they were exhausted from the exhaustion of the boats and cars.

Along the road, the green willows are in pieces, and the catkins are like smoke.Someone held a freshly broken willow branch and handed it to a man in a light robe and python boots. The man took the willow branch with his hands folded, and let out a long sigh with melancholy eyes.

Shen Fang knew that this man was leaving Luoyang, and he didn't know when he would return.He rode past them, deliberately slowing down, not wanting to disturb them.

The man nodded his farewell to his friend, and then led the horse away, leaving a blurry figure in the crowd flocking to Luoyang.

Facing the towering and magnificent black city wall and the golden moat, the people flocking to Luoyang have both fear and admiration in their eyes.The military officer patrolling the city wall glanced down coldly from time to time.

In this well-ordered place, there is no soil for wild arrogance to survive, and there are only strict laws and birth classes, which do not allow offense and arrogance.He didn't see the Daliang Imperial Palace, or even entered the city gates. It was just the first time he saw this imperial city, and for the first time in his life, Shen Fang felt so clearly another layer of his identity—a commoner in Daliang.

And he was born in the Jianghu and grew up in the Jianghu: strong is strong, weak is weak, why should he bow his knees and be servile.Let him have a BMW, a fragrant car, ten thousand taels of gold and silver, beauties like jade, and have his own sword and mountains and rivers in his arms.

Shen Yucheng broke Kunlun with a single sword, what a terrible thing for Qi Di, the king of a country.Compared with the natural dangers of Kunlun, the city walls and the palace city are vulnerable, and entering the palace to "face the holy face" is, for Shen Yucheng, an easy way out.If it is easy to deal with it, Shen Fang might not be afraid of such a warrior.

The check was correct, Shen Fang went through the city gate, and found an inn along the central axis road.After asking the shopkeeper and several vendors, he headed north of the city.

As night fell and the lights came on, he stopped outside a small three-story building with white walls and red pillars.There are red lanterns hanging on the verandah, and several courtyards behind the building are shadowy under the lantern lights.It was still early, Shen waited at the street corner, the night darkened, regular customers showed up one after another.

It is a time-honored brand, but the wooden plaque engraved with the three characters of Deyuelou on the top of the gate is brightly painted, but it is newly made.Looks like they just changed their name.

Deyue Tower is the most famous and most prosperous brothel in Luoyang City he asked about.He wiped off the disguise on his face and walked towards the door.As soon as he stepped into the hall, perhaps because of his blunt expression and cramped movements, Shen Fang immediately felt a strange gaze staring at him.From the corner of his eye, he saw that it was a well-built servant.

What, so nervous?

Without waiting to think about it, a woman with exquisite makeup, twisting her waist and twisting a colored fan, came up to meet her.Her age was hidden under the high skirt waist and thick makeup, but the turbulent spring light on her chest was extremely eye-catching. Shen turned his face subconsciously and looked at the crowd.

She smiled, and looked at Shen Fang from head to toe with a pair of shrewd eyes, "Mr. Lang, it seems that he has just arrived in Luoyang, and Xia Niang, my servant, can I show you around?"

Shen Fang knew that this was the madam of the brothel, but when he heard this, he became vigilant, "How do you know that I am new to Luoyang?"

"Oh, don't be so nervous." As she spoke, Xia Niang smiled with her lips curled up, but met Shen Fang's expressionless face with cold eyes.For some reason, he suddenly panicked.At any rate, she has worked hard in this Qin Lou Chu land for dozens of years and made friends with people from all walks of life, but in front of this young man, she really felt the invisible pressure.

She also vaguely guessed that Shen Fang was dissatisfied with her investigation of its origin.

"Lang Jun was born with such a beautiful face, if this son of Luoyang City, how could Xia Niang not remember?"

Shen Fang hummed, his expression relaxed a little. .

"However, don't bother Xia Niang, just lead me to a room. I have always been used to thinking about it by myself, and this kind of place and this kind of thing is no exception." Shen Fang smiled, and Xia Niang looked a little silly. .

"Then, Mr. Lang has a favorite..."

"It's all right."

"liquor……"

"It's all good." After Shen Fang finished speaking, he bent down, leaned in front of Xia Niang, and whispered softly, "Just one request, if there is someone who is about the same age as me tonight, eyes... um... very good-looking, and this size tall man,"

Shen Fang said, moving his hand to the side of his face.

"It looks like it's the first time to come to the brothel, so send someone to tell me."

"Excellent..." Xia Niang only had Shen Fang in her eyes.

"The kind you can't forget once you see it."

"Oh~" Xia Niang woke up like a dream, let out a delicate sigh, cast an ambiguous glance at Shen Fang, took a step forward, and almost whispered to Shen Fang, "Young Lord, I don't know. Naturally, Deyue Tower will not be inferior in this regard."

Shen Fang perfunctorily answered Xia Niang's various questions, followed others into an elegant room, and after a while of silence, the ladies from Deyue Tower arrived.

Shen Fang just drank and didn't speak, letting them play the piano and dance in the house.Seeing that Shen Fang is so good-looking, the ladies don't need to take care of him to make him happy, but they are also happy to be here with him, not to mention that he is generous with rewards.

A smarter one came up to toast with a smile, "This glass of wine, my lady toasts you, I wish the world a peaceful life, and the second wish you a healthy body." There were two more words in the book, but she didn't say anything, and raised her head to drink the wine. drink up.

Shen Fang raised his eyes for the first time, looked straight at these brothel girls, and said with a smile, "Thank you, lady."

The harps never stopped, the night was as bright as day, and after an unknown amount of time, there was a commotion outside.Shen Fang with sharp ears heard the soft voice of the woman outside the door, "Oh, this is the first time in my life that I have seen a man who is prettier than a woman, but not as good-looking as ours—"

"Shhhhhhh, how dare you say that here, if you hear it, would you still want to eat some of your good fruit?" It was the woman's companion who stopped her.

Shen Fang pushed the door open, startling the two people outside.

"Where did that guy go?"

"Go, go over there." The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed Shen Fang to a hall behind.

This hall is obviously not visible to outsiders at will, only people like Shen Fang who have given enough rewards can set foot in it.Layers of gauze tents hang down on the four sides, and the bodies twisting like snakes are like shadows through the gauze.The smell of alcohol and powder in the room is mixed with a few hints of sweet smell.

The drunken men and women are in high spirits, driven by desire, or singing, or laughing, with the help of alcohol, they vent their energy accumulated during the day in this Anle Township regardless.And the movement and screams from the upstairs room made Shen Fang's heart beat faster and his palms sweat even though he was prepared.

He frowned slightly, glanced around, and saw that many people did not stop, but ran towards the back yard.Without thinking, he avoided being surrounded by layers of jade body and lotus root arms, mixed in with those Fengyue disciples, and came to one of the inner courtyards of Deyue Tower.

A table has been set up in the yard, and behind the water-red gauze curtain, there is a person sitting.

"Who is the person behind this?" Shen Fang asked a young master next to him.

The young master squinted at him, "Did you just come to Luoyang?"

"Um,"

"The treasure of Deyuelou."

"The baby you are talking about refers to this person? Is it a man or a woman?"

Brother Gongzi looked surprised, grinned dryly, and raised his hand to pat Shen Fang's shoulder, but saw a shadow flicker, and the person in front of him had disappeared.

Shen Fang bypassed the two rows of people and squeezed to the front, with serious eyes, he carefully identified the figure - not Zhuang Li.

When the dance music started, everyone cheered in unison.Shen Fang heard someone whisper behind him:

"It's better to cover up than to be exposed, and half-covered is worse than to be half-covered. The face of the No. 1 prostitute in Luoyang really can't be looked at in vain."

Listening to the tune carefully, Shen Fang's eyes gradually widened - the familiar melody was clearly the Northern Wilderness tune that Zhuang Li sang on the carriage.

"My family married me on the side of the sky, and entrusted me to the king of Wusun in a foreign country.

I often think of the soil, and my heart hurts, and I would like to return to my hometown for Huang Hu. "

This song seemed to have magical powers, and even the night wind seemed to be mixed with the sound of horseshoes.Those who are sentimental, or those who hurt their feelings when they see something, even let out a few inaudible sighs.But more people complained, saying that the song was too sad, which swept away their interest.

At the end of the song, the beauties behind the red gauze curtain got up gracefully, and left amidst the sound of sighs and appeals.From the beginning to the end, he did not reveal his true face and did not make a sound.

A maid suddenly walked out from behind the screen wall, and walked straight to Shen Fang under the eyes of everyone, stretching out her slender hand.

Shen Fang was still in a daze, not knowing why, seeing people around him cast envious glances at him, and even made a noise.

"Hey, brother, what are you doing there stupidly, Mr. Luofeng has taken a fancy to you! Hey, this silly boy, what kind of luck is it that he just came across such a good thing..."

In the crowd, the one who yelled at Shen Dafang was the young master from before, with envy written all over his face. "Young Master Luofeng", Shen Fang remembered the name.

"This gentleman, please follow me."

Her little hand was still in mid-air, waiting for Shen Fang to hold it.

Shen Fang nodded, and held her hand, "Is this lady sent by Mr. Luofeng?" His heart moved slightly - the touch of that hand was cold, but the temperature was not low tonight, and she was faintly drunk, wearing a It's okay, why do you feel cold?But her demeanor and tone didn't look like she was suffering from a cold.

Shen Fang followed her around behind the screen wall, and the crowd dispersed after a last burst of weird cries.

The maid led him into the house, and directly opposite the door was another door, which seemed to lead to a deeper place in the Moon Tower.Where the couch should have been, there was a thin wall, and Shen Fang could tell at a glance that it was a secret door, separating the two open rooms.

The design of this courtyard is much more complicated than Shen Fangsuo wanted.

The maid paused suddenly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please wait here." Before she finished speaking, she wanted to push the door and leave.

"Wait." Shen Fang hurriedly stopped her, only then did he clearly catch a glimpse of nervousness on her expression.

The maid raised her head abruptly, her lips were tightly closed, and she looked at Shen Fang without saying a word, looking quite wary.

"Why are you so nervous, what about Mr. Luofeng?" Shen Fang said with a smile.

"This, in fact, the Tuo Nu family brought you here, and someone else."

"I know below."

The maid was slightly taken aback, "Is that so..."

Shen Fang lowered his voice and said seriously, "Then, where is that person now?"

"He, he didn't tell the servants, he just said that he would bring you here..."

"Then it's inconvenient to keep more ladies, I just wait here."

The maid was obviously relieved and closed the door, her footsteps were hurried.Shen Fang leaned against the door and listened for a while, then lowered his hand, a white blade slipped out of the cuff, hid it in his palm, and walked cautiously towards the secret door.
