Chapter 7: Tianxiang's Meaning

21days ago Wuxia Novels 8
Tianxiang Tower, East of the city

As the only fireworks site that can compete with the flower boat area of ​​Chengdong Wharf, Tianxianglou's business methods are undoubtedly much more intelligent than other brothels.

First of all, it is based on high consumption and high quality

Compared with the quality of the flower boat area, the girls in Tianxianglou are both talented and beautiful, either able to sing, dance, chess, or good at painting. Everyone can have one or two skills and can cater to the preferences of various guests, especially those who are rich and like art.

Secondly, Tianxianglou also exclusively brews a good wine called Zuirixiang

This wine is sweet and soft and refreshing when it enters the throat, and it contains a fragrance of osmanthus, but the stamina is strong. People who don’t know are often drunk. However, even if they wake up after being drunk, they still feel that there is a fragrance left on their tongue.

There are many people who are not beautiful, but they will also flock to this Zui Rika

When Eagle Knife first arrived in Xiangyang, she heard about the benefits of Tianxianglou. She was just busy all the time and had never been lucky enough to visit the treasure land. Now, because of the promise of Kuai Dao Hu Feng, he fulfilled his old wish.

As soon as I stepped into Tianxiang Tower, Eagle Knife felt that Tianxiang Tower was indeed different from ordinary brothels.

Here, I can't see the girl laughing around like a butterfly, nor can I hear the arrogant and unrestrained noise of the drunkards in the flowers. Whether it is a guest or a girl, I can find a quiet place to enjoy myself and never disturb others.

What flows all over the room is the sound of piano, singing, murmuring; what is touching is the dance, the painting, and the chessboard; what you can smell is the fragrance of wine, the fragrance of flowers, and the fragrance of ink...

This is a brothel?

Eagle Knife simply suspected that he was not entering the brothel, but a poetry and wine gathering gathered by some suave literati and poets.

The Eagle Sword smiled bitterly, and still felt the heavy and untimely nature of the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword on his back

Compared with those guests who were talking and smiling with folding fans, he felt like he was a wine butcher

Because I don’t know what Hu Feng asked for, out of safety, Eagle Knife decided to come with his sword

Now he felt that his decision was wrong, and he wished that the long sword behind him could be reduced into a folding fan in an instant

Eagle Knife stood in the middle of the hall and looked around in a daze, not knowing how to find Hu Feng

Obviously, there is no madam or turtle man to welcome guests in Tianxianglou, otherwise there would be a guest coming, so he should have come to greet him long ago.

While hesitating, I suddenly heard someone whispering behind my ears: Master Ying, my young master has been waiting in the inner room for a long time, so please leave here...

The Eagle Sword turned sideways, but saw a big man named Angzang turning out from behind a screen and coming to him. He was Hu Feng's subordinate.

Thank goodness, I finally don't have to bump into it myself; I have to thank this guy, because he also has a scimitar on his waist, so at least he is not the only butcher here

The cold sweat on the Eagle Knife quickly greeted him as if he had seen his relatives, and followed the man behind him.

His mother's spicy watermelon, so she was so embarrassed to visit the brothel, it was also the first time she had ever experienced in her life.

The big man led the eagle sword into the screen, walked out of a small door, and walked through a corridor above a green pond. At the other end of the corridor was a small building built by the water.

Eagle Blade secretly awesome

The layout of Tianxiang Tower is so strange and complex, giving people a sense of surprise everywhere. I think the owner of Tianxiang Tower must have hills and valleys in his heart, which is very comparable to those of you.

Up the stairs and reach the highest level, what caught my eye was a viewing tower with only fences around it, similar to pavilions.

The moon can be embraced by the top, the clear water can be seen below, and the breeze blows on the face leisurely, which is the place where literati and poets love it very much

Haha... Brother Eagle, you are finally here! Come here quickly, I will leave this most beautiful girl in Tianxianglou for you

Hu Feng held a bronze lord filled with wine in his right hand, leaning on the railing with a smile and greeted the eagle knife.

His left hand was holding a beautiful lady, and his thick fingers were rubbing the woman unscrupulously.

Beside him, his other three subordinates also held a girl and drank and joked. When the eagle sword arrived, they smiled and nodded to greet each other.

Ye Ying, this is the "Drunk Rixiang" in our Tianxiang Tower. Please give me a review. A graceful woman came forward with a tray: My name is Yayun

Eagle knife reached out to take the bronze Jue on the tray into her hand. After a brief look at Yayun, she found that she was quite beautiful and her smile was very charming.

Hu Feng smiled and looked at the Daxia Dragon Bird behind Ying Dao and said: Brother Ying came in with the knife on his back, it must be embarrassing, right? I'm the first time I came to Xiangyang. I don't know that Tianxianglou is such a wonderful place, otherwise I would have declared in advance, "Don't bring weapons."

Eagle Sword smiled bitterly: To be honest, it was my first time to come to Tianxianglou. I thought the brothels in the world were similar, but who knew that this place was so special

Hu Feng laughed, patted the Biluo knife on his waist, and said: Isn't that the same? As soon as he entered the door, he thought he had come to the wrong place and felt that he was like a butcher compared to others, which was really a shame.

How could it be? The two men are so arrogant. Compared with those guests who pretend to be gentle and pretend to behave, you are the real good men! The beauty leaning in Hu Feng's arms climbed on his shoulder and said in a tender voice, with a hint of admiration in her eyes

I don't know whether her words and expressions are sincere or act like a show, but it always makes people happy if they say such words in my ears.

Hu Feng laughed, kissed the beauty's lips, and said: What a sweet little mouth, it's worth kissing you

The beauty acted coquettishly and said: Is it worth kissing? You...if you can come to see me every day, then I will be satisfied!

Hu Feng was very happy and smiled at Yingdao and said: It's really interesting that this trip to Xiangyang is worth it. First, I met a young hero like Brother Ying, and second, I saw the romantic feelings of Tianxianglou.

Eagle Knife sipped a sip of Jue Zhong’s wine, walked to Hu Feng, and smiled and said: I am worth this trip because I know that if I come to Tianxianglou again in the future, at least I have to carry a kitchen knife, so that I can look heroic and a good man!

This is a joke, Hu Feng couldn't help laughing

After this laugh, the only estrangement between Eagle Sword and Hu Feng disappeared in the laughter, and they felt that they were very similar in interests.

Why are you like this? Qin Xin is talking sincerely, but you joke with her... It can be seen that none of your men are good. Yayun quietly said softly in the ear of Eagle Blade

Eagle sword smiled and held Yayun in her arms, saying: Her name is Qinxin?

Yayun nodded, leaned softly on the shoulder of the Eagle Knife, and said softly: Qinxin's piano is very good, when will she ask her to play a song for you?

Eagle knife shook his head and said: Next time! What about you? What will you do? Wait, let me guess... Your name is Yayun, then your singing must be beautiful.

Yayunqi said: How do you know? You can only sing a little tune

Eagle knife smiled and said: You speak so beautifully, it must be even better when you sing.

Yayun smiled and kissed the Eagle's lips, saying: Your mouth is also very sweet, it's worth my kiss.

Hu Feng said dissatisfiedly: If you use my lines, should you kiss me as a reward?

Yayun smiled and said: It’s not impossible to kiss you, but you have too many beards on your face, and I’m afraid I can’t find your mouth.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell down. Eagle Knife laughed so hard that she almost choked a sip of wine into the trachea.

At this point, the atmosphere on the platform became extremely warm

Although men are very happy with their mouths, they are also very happy; women are also flirting with each other with a smile, which is unique

Happiness is gone without knowing the time, and it is already the second update

Seeing that it was too late, Eagle Blade shone a look at Hu Feng.

After this short time of getting along, the two of the Eagle and Hu have already had a good understanding of each other.

Hu Feng immediately said to the girls: Dear girls, please wait for us in the room first, and come to accompany me after I say a few words to Brother Eagle.

The girls were quite interested and knew that they had a secret conversation to talk about. They said goodbye and went downstairs.

Qin Xin hugged Hu Feng's neck and acted coquettishly, and hugged Hu Feng and kissed her face and lips hard before she finished.

Yayun twisted an Eagle Sword with everyone on her back and said quietly: Come after you have finished chatting with him, don’t let me wait too long... She left Yiyi after seeing Eagle Sword nodded with a smile

When the girls dispersed, Hu Feng's four subordinates immediately stopped and guarded the four corners of the tower to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Seeing this, Eagle Sword knew that Hu Feng would have something to discuss.

Brother Eagle, do you know the origin of my Sunset Horse Racecourse? Hu Feng drank the wine in his hand and asked in a low voice

Unexpectedly, Hu Feng would open the remarks with this. Ying Dao was stunned and answered honestly: I don’t know much about the specific situation, but I can always hear some rumors in the martial arts world that I heard that Ling Zu was just a scholar who did not know martial arts?

Hu Feng nodded and said: Yes, my ancestor was indeed a scholar in the past. The reason why he was able to build the Sunset Horse Farm was because he used the power of the Jurchen tribe outside the pass. My grandmother was a member of the Jurchen tribe. In fact, every adult man in my Hu family would stop marrying a wife. If he wanted to marry a wife, his first wife had to marry a Jurchen woman. This is the legacy of his ancestors.

Eagle Knife couldn't help but smile and said: This is strange news, the ancestors must be extremely grateful for the help of the Jurchens, so they set such strange rules to repay their kindness.

Hu Feng shook his head and said: One and the most important thing is that the Jurchens are powerful outside the pass, and non-other tribes can match my Hu family. If they want to gain a foothold in Guandong, they must consolidate it by marrying the Jurchens. But after so many generations, although my Hu family still has the surname Han, the blood of the Han people flows in their body is getting less and less... Brother Eagle, look carefully at my nose and my eyes...

Looking at the Eagle Sword, Guojue Hu Feng's nose is tall and his eagle stands, and his eyes also have a faint dark blue, which is very different from ordinary Han people.

Hu Feng smiled and continued: Now, I am afraid that I can't even be considered a small half of a Han person.

Yingdao smiled and said: Are Han people and Jurchens both humans? In my eyes, there is only a difference between good people and bad people, but there is no Han people. The difference between the race of Jurchens

Hu Feng laughed, happily patted Eagle Knife's shoulder and said: Not bad! Brother Eagle said this very much to my appetite! Come on, let's drink a cup together! As he said that, he picked up the wine pot beside him and Eagle Knife to fill it up, and the two raised their glasses to drink together.

After drinking, Hu Feng suddenly sighed and said: Brother Eagle doesn't know that to my Hu family, the Han people are like fathers, and the Jurchens are like mothers. If the Han people start a war with the Jurchens, it is like a fight between parents. It is a very uncomfortable thing for my Hu family. My ancestor rebelled because of his sympathy for all ethnic groups outside the pass and being bullied by the Jinzhou official army. But throughout his life, he regretted that he could not return to his hometown after his lifetime. He also taught us the descendants that all the descendants of the Hu family must remember that they are a Han person, and must not forget their ancestors and forget their ancestors, and do things that harm the Han people. Especially when the Jurchens and the Han people have conflicts, they must try their best to mediate and avoid the war between the two tribes.

When Eagle Knife heard this, she couldn't help but be fascinated by the weak old man who created the Sunset Horse Racecourse. She admired him very much and blurted out: Although Ling's ancestor was a weak scholar, he had a broad mind and kind deeds, and was a true hero! A real hero!

Hu Feng was extremely happy when he heard this, and suddenly grabbed Eagle's hand and said: Brother Eagle, I heard the rumors in the world and always thought you were just a playboy. I didn't expect that the rumors were wrong, which made me almost miss a good friend! Brother Eagle, you and me are in a similar mood, how about becoming a brother of the opposite sex?

Swedish?

Eagle Sword obviously lacked preparation for Hu Feng's sudden proposal

Hu Feng is a brave and bold man with bloody personality. This kind of personality is also very good for his spleen and stomach. It was good to be sworn with him, but considering his current situation...

Yang Si once specifically advised him to play with Hu Feng for small matters, and if it is a big matter, he should leave the scene.

Now Hu Feng is clearly showing a secret matter. Should he continue to play with him?

Seeing the hesitation of the Eagle Sword, Hu Feng immediately said unhappy: What? Brother Eagle dislikes me? Then please let yourself go, just pretend that I have never seen you tonight.

His mother's death is nothing big!

What's the point of being a human being timid?

If you miss a man with good blood because of this, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

The Eagle Sword put his heart on his back, and held Hu Feng's hand tightly and said: Brother Hu joked that if Brother Hu doesn't dislike me for being high, you and I will become brothers and share the same blessings and share the same difficulties!

Hu Feng laughed and said: This is my good brother! I am 31 years old this year

Eagle Knife hurriedly knelt down and said: I will pay my respects to my elder brother this year’s twenty-four Eagle Knife!

Hu Feng quickly helped the Eagle Sword up, held the Eagle Sword in both hands, and said: Good brother! You and I are all great men with one word, so don’t pay attention to these false rituals. In short, from today on, you and I will be brothers connected by blood. We share blessings and difficulties together! If we violate this oath, heaven will be punished by the earth!

If you violate this oath, heaven will be punished by the earth! Eagle Sword also swears loudly

Then, the two of them laughed together, feeling passionate and relieved.

Brother, since you and I have become brothers, your business is mine. I know that you will come here tonight and there must be something important to discuss. As long as I can do it, it is absolutely unavoidable. Eagle Knife said sincerely

Hu Feng hesitated for a moment and said: Since that's the case, I'll just say to you brothers, why did I come to Xiangyang this time? It's really for a major event about the court!

Eagle Sword was shocked and said: What is the big event about the imperial court?

Hu Feng nodded heavily and said: This time I came to Xiangyang, in name, by my family, to find out the news of the battle between the north and south martial arts worlds, to determine the direction of the sunset horse farm in the future, but in fact, it is not the case at all. My sunset horse farm is far away in Guandong and backed by the Jurchens. No matter how fierce the martial arts world in the Central Plains is, it doesn’t matter much to my Hu family. The reason why I came to Xiangyang was really because of General Xi Zhuanyi Xi, the Marquis of Shenwu who guarded Xiangyang.

The Eagle Sword was shocked again and said: "You are the one who is smart?

Hu Feng sighed and said: It's brother, you are in the world and may not know the affairs of the court, but my Hu family is responsible for the teachings of our ancestors and wants to mediate the relationship between the Han people and the Jurchens, so we are always paying attention to the trends of the court.

He paused and continued: This statement starts with the current situation of the court. Since nine years ago, the emperor ascended the throne as a 16-year-old boy, and the court has always been in control of the emperor's uncle, King Jin. The emperor's name is Supreme, but in fact he is just a puppet King Jin who is at the mercy of others. In order to monopolize the government, he killed and demoted the important officials in the court and replaced them with a team loyal to him. In this way, there are only a few people who can make the King of Jin afraid of it...

The Eagle Knife is extremely smart. He immediately thought of Xi Zhuoyi and said: Xi Zhuoyi is one of the people that made the King of Jin afraid?

Hu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the Marquis of Shenwu came from the military and had outstanding military achievements. He is one of the top generals in this dynasty and enjoys a very high reputation in the army. Many generals who guard the military power in various places are from his disciples, so even though the King of Jin was extremely afraid, he did not dare to harm him easily."

Yingdao said: I heard that Xi Juyi was originally a general guarding the north of the frontier, but later he was transferred to Xiangyang for some reason. Now I think it must be a trick made by King Jin.

Hu Feng sneered: That was when the Lord Shenwu was guarding the northwest, he held 300,000 military power. If he was not transferred to Xiangyang, how could the King of Jin rest in peace? Hehe, the first-rank military general of the dynasty could only be wronged and hang freely in Xiangyang. The King of Jin's move was really cruel.

Yingdao said: If that were the case, it would be not enough. After all, Xi Juyi also had 50,000 soldiers in Xiangyang. Although there were only 50,000 soldiers, it was a headache for the King of Jin to really make a rebellion.

Hu Feng praised: Brothers are extremely smart. You can guess the key points as soon as you guess, but you are wrong. Shenwu Hou serves as the country and the people, and takes the world as your responsibility. Although the King of Jin is a mighty and blessed, the first thing that will be affected is the people and the country. Therefore, with the kindness of Shenwu Hou, the person who really wants to rebel is not Shenwu Hou, but someone else...

When Eagle Knife heard this, his mind flashed and he couldn't help but scream: It's King of Jin! King of Jin is about to rebel! As soon as he spoke, he immediately covered his lips with his hands and looked around. Fortunately, he was the only one on this tower, Hu Feng and his subordinates.

Hu Feng's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice: Brother, don't make a statement! If someone hears this secret, it will be amazing.

Eagle Blade nodded repeatedly and whispered: How did the elder brother learn about this news?

Hu Feng said: I didn't know either, but two months ago, my Hu family learned from the Jurchens that someone entrusted the Jurchens to kill someone outside the pass with 5,000 taels of gold. The man said that in March next year, a group of people would pass through the pass and go to Goryeo. He hoped that the Jurchens would kill all the people from the mission group at that time, and that no one would be left, especially the leader, who would die. The current Jurchens patriarch is my uncle. He was greedy for money and agreed to the man's request for the man to leave. After my uncle thought about it, he rushed to the sunset horse farm to discuss with my father. When my father heard this, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

Eagle knife nodded and said: Of course it is not good. The envoy is a symbol of a country. If you are sniped, you must be retaliated against by the whole country. Your uncle is too confused. How can you agree to such a thing easily? Isn’t this a way out?

Hu Feng smiled embarrassedly and said: Brother is talking about my uncle who is a reckless man. As expected, my father scolded his uncle on the spot. I looked at him and found it funny. Fortunately, he knew he wanted to discuss with my father, otherwise he might become an eternal sinner of the Jurchen tribe.

After a pause, he continued: After my uncle woke up, he wanted to ask the man to return the deposit, but the man was introduced by someone. No matter how much he looked for it, he could not find it. My father felt something was different, so he searched for information from the court and found that the person responsible for this mission to Goryeo was the first-rank military general of the dynasty Shenwuhou! For this reason, my father was puzzled. There was only the custom of civil servants to go on missions. How could he be replaced by a military general this time? And he was a first-rank military general of the dynasty who had outstanding military achievements?

Eagle Knife thought about it and sighed: Of course, it was another trick played by King Jin! It seems that the King Jin was going to rebel.

Hu Feng said in surprise: Brothers are so smart! My father thought about the conclusion that he had come to after several days and nights, but he didn't expect that he could get it right after guessing.

Eagle Sword smiled and said: Because I had preconceived ideas, it was easy to guess, and Ling Zun came to this conclusion without any support. That was amazing.

Hu Feng also smiled and said: Brother, don’t be humble. You are so talented. Brother, I am not as good as you said. All of this is the sign of the rebellion of the King of Jin. Now the emperor has grown up and will never be as obedient as before. King of Jin is used to being arbitrary and domineering and comfortable life, so he naturally doesn’t want to return the power to the emperor. Therefore, he must rebel while he is still in his hands and he is still in power...

Eagle Blade said: In my opinion, the King of Jin is afraid that he has to rebel! He has been riding on the emperor's head for so many years. Although he is full of glory on the surface, he must be very afraid that when the emperor regained power, he will retaliate against the struggle in the palace when the emperor regained power. It has never been your death or I live. If the King of Jin does not want to die, he will only rebel.

Hu Feng clapped his hands and sighed: Brother said it is reasonable, I thought that the King of Jin was really greedy. After so many years of glory, I still refused to give up. I must be the emperor himself to be satisfied. Now, after hearing from my brothers, I realized that there is another hidden secret in it. The matters in the palace are very complicated. Let’s not talk about him for now. Let’s talk about the matter of Shenwuhou that day, my father learned that the person who was sent to the mission to Goryeo was Shenwuhou, and he couldn’t sleep or eat. After thinking for a few days and nights, he finally figured out the truth. It turned out that the King of Jin was using a knife to kill people. He wanted to use the Jurchens to remove the biggest obstacle to his rebellion. According to this, as long as Shenwuhou died, he was afraid that the King of Jin would rebel.

Yingdao said: This inference is absolutely impossible to be wrong, but I can’t understand one thing. From Xiangyang to Jinzhou, they are all in the imperial court. The King of Jin is powerful. As long as the Marquis of Shenwu left Xiangyang, he could do it at any time. Why should he send someone to entrust the Jurchens to kill people in one move?

Hu Fengdao: Brothers don’t know that Shenwu Hou is deeply loved by the people and has old disciples everywhere. No matter where he goes, there must be many people escorting him. It is more difficult to kill him in the Central Plains. When you reach the pass, it will be the world of the Jurchen tribe. At that time, the Jurchen tribe will kill people. On the one hand, it will be blocked by the people in the world, and on the other hand, it will be easier to succeed. Moreover, there are many people outside the pass. Even if Shenwu Hou was killed, it will be unaware of it. Unlike in the Central Plains, if Shenwu Hou died, it will immediately cause an uproar.

Eagle knife frowned and said: No, right, I always think this matter is a bit inappropriate. Please let me think about it carefully.

Hu Fengqi said: What's wrong?

Yingdao said: If the King of Jin wants to rebel, what is the most afraid of Xi Zhuoyi?

Hu Fengdao: Of course, he was afraid that Xi Zhuoyi would raise an army to attack Xi Zhuoyi's prestige in the army. As long as he ascends to the high and calls, even if the King of Jin takes up the throne, he will probably not be able to sit for a few days.

Eagle Knife clapped his palms and said: Yes! So Xi Kuoyi must die. Xi Kuoyi is not dead, so he dare not rebel. But because of this, I think that King Jin easily entrusted Xi Kuoyi's life and death to the Jurchens to deal with it. Not only is it easy to leak news, but it also seems too ridiculous to rebel? If you are not careful, you will be defeated and die. King Jin will never be so careless.

Hu Feng thought for a while and said: Brother, is the plan to entrust the Jurchens to kill people fake? Is it the King of Jin who set up a suspicion array?

Eagle knife shook his head and thought, "I don't know the truth or the false, I guess. There are two possibilities. One of the following two possibilities is the person who commissioned the Jurchen tribe to kill Xi Zhuyi, but the person who wanted to protect Xi Zhuyi. Maybe this person knew the plan of King Jin to kill Xi Zhuyi, so he deliberately leaked it out in this way, and then spread it to the world through your Sunset Horse Farm. I hope someone can stop it.

After hearing this, Hu Feng couldn't help but speak again

Yingdao smiled and said: Brother, why don’t you tell Xi Zhuoyi directly, but run around the bush? Regarding this, I can explain that because I have met Xi Zhuoyi himself and have some understanding of his temper. In fact, Xi Zhuoyi had known for a long time that the King of Jin would take advantage of his mission to Goryeo to deal with him, but this person has a stubborn personality and a full of stupid loyalty. He would not make a big turn... As he said that, he briefly said that when he was stationed in Shenyuan to deal with Meng Caiyi, he went to the military camp to steal the flag.

Hu Feng shook his head and smiled: Brother, you misunderstood. What I want to say is that your guess is likely to be because I asked to meet the Marquis of Shenwu when I arrived in Xiangyang and told him the news that King Jin was going to kill him. Who knows... Oh! Brother said it well, this old man is indeed a little stubborn and can't turn around. Guess what he said to me? He said, thank you, my little brother for helping me for helping me, but I had known about this for a long time, so I asked him if he still went to Goryeo. If you guess how he answered me?

Eagle Sword smiled and said: With his temper, even if he dies, he must go.

Hu Feng smiled bitterly and said: It was him who answered me, "Jun Rushan, as an important minister of the court, how could he resist the order? At most, change the course of walking, and go directly from Jinzhou City to sea without going outside the pass... I was so angry when I met such a pedantic old man!

Eagle Knife couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, but continued: The above is the first possibility, but the second possibility is not so optimistic.
