Chapter 177 Huichunlou (1/2)
At night, the Paradise Street in Xinjiang City.
This is the busiest street in Xinjiang City. Every night, other areas have turned off the lights and gone to sleep, but this place is still brightly lit.
Because here are gathered the best brothels and restaurants in the entire Xinjiang City, [Huichunlou] and [Baiyue Restaurant] are both on this street.
So, at night, the rich people in the entire city will come here to consume.
In the past two years, this place has become more lively, because there is another group of people coming here to consume.
They are naturally the knights and knight attendants of all levels of the Silver Wolf Ten Thousand People Group stationed nearby.
"Oh, Knight Chen, you can come to our Huichunlou today, which really makes our Huichunlou glorious."
"Please come in, I will arrange the best girl for you."
As she said, the charming and plump old procuress twisted her slender waist and hugged the sturdy arm of a yellow-faced middle-aged man.
But unexpectedly, the knight Chen said: "What's so fun about young girls? Only old women like you can cool down."
"I heard that you were the top player here when you were young. I want to see if your skills have improved now."
After saying that, this person carried the madam in front of him, ignoring the madam's flirting and scolding, and ignoring the eyes of the people around him.
He ran to a room on the third floor of [Huichunlou] with a smile on his face, and then closed the door.
As soon as the door was closed, everyone started gossiping.
"Oh, I didn't expect our Lord Chen to like this. No wonder he returned two beautiful girls I sent him last time."
"I didn't expect that Lord Chen, who is so serious in the camp, is actually like this in private. I feel a little unreal."
"Does that old woman really reduce heat? I feel a little irritable recently. Should I try an older one today?"
"I would rather try the old procuress that Lord Chen used."
The last person who spoke was also a topic killer.
When he finished speaking, everyone around him suddenly became quiet, and then looked at him strangely.
This tall and thin man wearing a dark green headscarf, after feeling the unusual gazes of others, couldn't help but ask the people around him in confusion: "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"
The person being asked shook his head and quickly left the man at a certain distance.
Of course, there were also people who stared at the man as if they were looking at a fellow traveler, and then took the opportunity to come forward and talk.
Li Yan had already sneaked into the Huichun Building and witnessed the scene just now.
Speaking of which, he also knew the Knight Chen.
Knight Chen, whose name was Chen Canzhou, was the Knight of the Silver Wolf Camp and the superior of Li Yan's superior.
Li Yan had been in the Silver Wolf Camp for more than ten days and had only seen him twice, once at a regiment-level meeting and once at a regiment-level meeting.
A thousand people formed a regiment, and only knights and attendants could attend the regiment-level meeting, while the entire regiment could attend the regiment-level meeting.
As some people said, this person was serious in the Silver Wolf Camp, and because of his earth-based innate skills, his face was always earthy yellow.
To others, he felt like a hard clod of earth.
Li Yan had not expected that in such an occasion, this person would be so open, and he picked up the old procuress in public and went to do his business.
It is true that you cannot judge a person by appearance. Everyone has a face in front of and behind others.
【Huichunlou】has three floors. The whole building is circular, with an empty space in the middle.
Therefore, even on the first floor, you can see the scene on the third floor. Similarly, the third floor can also see the excitement on the first floor.
The first floor is the hall. Half of the hall is filled with tables, chairs and benches, and the other half is a stage.
Of course, it is easy to imagine that such a place cannot possibly perform a serious drama.
The stage is full of women in cool clothes, performing a drama adapted from a play called "A Woman Joins the Army" in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The play "A Woman Joins the Army" in the Great Zhou Kingdom tells the story of a woman who joins the army in place of her father, overcomes all difficulties, and finally becomes a warrior in the Condensed Evil Realm, creating a first-class family in the royal city.
This drama is really adapted from a true story.
Unfortunately, the prototype family of this drama only lasted for more than 300 years. Because of the lack of successors, no new warriors in the Condensed Evil Realm appeared, and thus was exterminated by hostile forces.
The play performed here is a gender-reversed version of "A Woman Joins the Army", named "A Man Joins the Army".
The content of the story is not much different from "A Woman Joins the Army", except that the original men have become women, and the original women have become men.
The man is usually played by someone who comes to "Huichunlou" to play, and the woman is naturally someone in "Huichunlou".
Then, the audience under the stage can see a man on the stage, diving into a group of women dressed in cool clothes and full of rouge fragrance, taking advantage of the so-called performance.
Many times, the man on the stage can't hold on for long, and will take one or two women on the stage to the second floor to get a room.
Then, the next man will continue to go on stage, and more women will replace the previous woman.
The people under the stage are naturally watching with relish, and when they feel like it, they will also take the women around them to the second floor to get a room.
There are also new guests who are eager to watch and want to be the male protagonist.
This is basically not possible because to be a leading actor you have to queue up to sign up. Not only is the registration fee high, but the queue time is also long.
Basically, the waiting time will not be less than three days.
This income alone can account for 20% of the entire income of [Huichun Tower]. After all, it is almost the same as buying without capital.
The first floor is where business is discussed, and the second floor is naturally where business is done.
There are hundreds of single rooms in total, which is enough to satisfy these people.
After all, most people come here just to vent and won't stay overnight, so the room turnover rate is still relatively high.
Therefore, the entire second floor of [Huichun Building] can receive at least more than 500 people a night.
This is because rich people generally have higher cultivation levels and persist long enough.
If it were all ordinary people, the duration would be shorter on average, and the number of people that could be accommodated would increase a lot.
As for the third floor, it is a VIP box, where very rich people or people with a lot of power use it to treat guests.
There are only twenty private rooms in total on the entire third floor, and the twenty rooms are divided into four types of rooms: heaven, earth, black and yellow.
There is only one room in the sky-shaped shape, three in the ground-shaped, six in the xuan-shaped, and ten in the yellow-shaped.
Obviously, this cannot improve the quality of service much, but it can greatly increase the price.
There is only one sky-shaped private room, and people book it every day, even though its price is ridiculously high.
But even so, there are still people who want to book but can't.
The money is enough, but the identity is not enough.
Li Yan was sitting in the hall on the first floor, holding a very young woman in his right hand.
This woman was of average appearance and relatively thin. When she was hugged by Li Yan, she was still a little resistant and scared.
And he didn’t know how to feed Li Yan or interact with him. At first glance, he looked like a newbie in the industry.
The corner of Li Yan's eyes was always facing the sky-shaped door, and the rest of his eyes were on "The Story of a Man in the Army" which was on the stage and was about to collapse again.
At the same time, he asked the woman in his arms: "Xiaohong, are you new to this industry?"
The woman named Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded a little lonely.
As if remembering the teachings of some people, a trace of fear flashed across Xiaohong's face, and she quickly shook her head and whispered: "Master, I will serve you well, don't replace me."
Then she followed the example of other women and began to feed Li Yan fruits that she had peeled.
Li Yan ate the fruit and asked again: "How did you start this business?"
Warm reminder: If you find that clicking the next page will force you to jump to other websites, please use the "Chapter Error" or "Contact Us" at the bottom to inform us. We will handle it as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!
Xiaohong's feeding hand paused for a moment, then resumed immediately.
"My family is poor and there are many people. I could still survive originally, but with the recent skyrocketing food prices, I can no longer survive."
Xiaohong's voice was calm.
"Did your parents sell you here?"
Li Yan continued to ask.
"No, I came here myself. I am the eldest of the family. I cannot let my younger brothers and sisters starve to death in front of me."
When saying this, Xiaohong's mood was obviously more excited than before.
"I remember that the Moon Temple distributed free food, didn't you get it?"
Li Yan asked suspiciously after hearing Xiao Hong's words.
During the day today, he went for a walk around the Moon Temple in the New Advent City, and then he found a bunch of people in patched clothes queuing up to receive food.
Although there is not much food, if you save some food, you can still survive without starving to death.
Moreover, Li Yan also inquired that the Moon Goddess Hall distributed food not only today, but every day.
In this regard, Li Yan thinks that the Moon God Sect has done a good job.
Hearing Li Yan's question, Xiaohong smiled bitterly: "The food from the Moon Goddess Temple will only be distributed to the believers of the Moon God Sect, and they must be loyal believers who insist on going to the Moon Goddess Temple every month for three years to make offerings and pray. "
"The money our family usually earns is barely enough to live on as a family. How can we have enough money to go to the Moon Temple and dedicate it to the Moon God?"
When Xiao Hong said this, Li Yan understood the purpose of the Moon Temple's food distribution.
As you can tell from the name, the newly surrendered religious city is a newly surrendered religious city. In fact, it is a city that was snatched from Da Zhou more than ten years ago.
More than ten years are obviously not enough for the people of the entire city to change their minds from the bottom of their hearts and regard themselves as citizens of the Dayue Kingdom.
Even if they all believe in the Luna Cult on the surface, how many of them are sincere, and how can we make them sincere?
As a result, the Moon Temple in the New Advent City began to distribute food and set up collection levels.
Being able to make offerings to the Moon God without interruption for three years is enough to prove that he is a loyal believer of the Moon God.
Others who are not eligible to receive food will have two options after seeing that others are able to receive it if they become eligible.
Become a loyal believer of the Moon God from today and continue to make offerings to the Moon God every month.
Still be a false believer in the moon god.
But no matter how people choose, the purpose of the Luna Cult has been achieved.
Those who transform from false believers to true believers will naturally be sincerely and happily accepted by the Moon God Sect.
Those who continue to be stubborn will become increasingly unable to hide themselves when there are more and more true believers around them.
In the end, it is not about being rejected by the true believers around you, thus not getting the chance to reproduce, and dying alone.
It is to repent and join the embrace of the moon god.
Basically, in more than ten years, the new religious city will be the same as other religious cities in Dayue Kingdom.
This is the power of a religion that is attached to the state.
Suddenly, Li Yan saw from the corner of his eye that the sky-shaped door on the third floor was opened, and three people entered.
"The goal is finally here."
Li Yan was overjoyed. Just at this moment, the male protagonist on the stage hugged two women and rushed to the second floor amidst the cheers of everyone in the audience.
"The uncle can't stand it anymore. Let's go up and play with the uncle."
As he spoke, Li Yan stood up from the stool, still holding Xiao Hong in his right hand.
Xiaohong, who had been mentally prepared for this, although her face was inevitably red and uneasy, still said softly: "Then let Xiaohong serve the uncle. I hope the uncle can take pity on Xiaohong."
After saying this, maybe she let go, but Xiaohong took the initiative to keep herself closer to Li Yan.
Following the stairs to the second floor, Li Yan chose a house and walked in with Xiao Hong.
Afterwards, Li Yan took advantage of Xiao Hong not paying attention and used the incense to stun her.
But you can't knock her unconscious, otherwise with Xiaohong's stature, she might not be able to hold on no matter how little force Li Yan uses.
After stunning Xiao Hong and putting Xiao Hong on the bed, Li Yan began to implement his plan.
The room he chose was just below the No. 10 Yellow Room next to the Tianzi Room.
He jumped slightly and his whole body was attached to the ceiling of the room.
Then, he took out the special potion prepared by other clones from the [Transfer Space].
After this agent was applied to the ceiling, the ceiling instantly began to corrode silently.
If you use true energy, the true energy fluctuations will affect the spiritual energy particles in the space, which can be easily sensed by innate warriors.
If brute force was used, the noise would be huge, and Li Yan would not dare to use it.
When the medicine corroded a big hole in the ceiling, Li Yan passed through the big hole and entered the yellow room No. 10.
The first thing I did after coming in was to block the entrance to the cave.
Because there is no one in Yellow Room No. 10, it should be dark. If the hole is not blocked, there will be light appearing in Yellow Room No. 10.
Although this light is relatively weak, some people will notice it if it is not kept intact.
Li Yan is still very cautious in doing things.
Then, Li Yan took out something like an earpiece from the [Transfer Space].
Coming to the wall connected to Tianzi Room No. 1, Li Yan first put his ear against the wall and listened.
Nothing was heard.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, the sound insulation effect here is very good."
After saying this in his mind, Li Yan put the receiver-like thing on the wall.
After some operations, a faint sound came from the receiver.
Li Yan quickly listened.
"What? The price of evening primrose has increased by another 30%. Why don't you go grab it?"
This was a male voice with a deep voice. Li Yan didn't need to look, just listening, he could hear the deep anger in his tone.
"Robbery is not in line with the teachings of our Moon God Cult. We don't rob, we only do transactions."
"Brother Ji, I don't like Brother Yun's attitude. If you don't want to trade, let's just talk about Fengyue today."
The voice was slow and slow, with a hint of singing behind the intonation of each sentence.
Li Yan knew as soon as he heard the voice that this person must be Yan Manzhong, because the tone of voice of the divine waiters he had seen for several months had the feeling of singing like this.
It is said that the speaking habit was formed because the attendants of the Moon God sang the "Moon Goddess" in praise of the Moon God every day.
After listening to the content again, I was 100% sure that this person was Yan Manzhong, Li Yan's target.
That is, the Brother Ji he mentioned made Li Yan a little confused.
You know, the surname Ji is the surname of the Zhou Dynasty, and ordinary people cannot use this surname.
In Otsuki, this is even a taboo surname.
"Could it be that Brother Ji and Brother Yun are not from Dayue?"
Li Yan guessed.
As the conversations between the three people gradually increased, Li Yan found that he seemed to have broken a deal that could not be seen in the light.
