Chapter 222

At the beginning of the Lantern Festival, long-term happiness has not yet begun.

Although Xiangyang County is not as magnificent as Chang'an, its nightlife is the same.

Xiangzhou is a big port running through the North-South hub. There are many rich businessmen and travelers, which means a lot of money. As a result, the commercial port of Xiangyang was very active, and the restaurants and inns were often full. The cup is fragrant and the food is not cold. The famous dishes in the north and South can be found here. Among the YingYuan gardens in Yuefang, the place of willows in fireworks lane is the most dazzling.

The beauties in Jiangnan are different from those in the north and Guannei. They have a taste of small and exquisite Jasper. It seems that they all have a breath of smoke and water on the surface of Jianghan river. They are gentle and pleasant, and their soft language gives birth to fragrance. The woman who can earn a living in yingwan of Xiangyang City is certainly not ordinary. In ordinary people's families, there are many good women who are "half hidden" and occasionally receive guests secretly to earn some money. For those men who are tired of their wives and concubines, but also tired of prostitutes, it's a different kind of pleasure seeking stimulation.

There are constantly travelers traveling between the rivers and ports in circulation, and word of mouth about Xiangyang's romantic affairs. As time goes by, Xiangyang, a romantic place, has become famous far and near. It is like a pink pearl, emitting beautiful spring, dotted with the Yangtze River and the Han River.

Pang Fei and Zhao Chong walked side by side on the famous Puhua street in Xiangyang City, looking left and right, quite interested. On both sides of the road are charming prostitutes who are soliciting customers. Along the way, they are afraid to eat hundreds of eyes. It's beautiful and delicious, but they don't feel hungry without food and wine.

Pang Fei couldn't help laughing and said, "this place is really lively. I don't know how many men have ruined their family business here, and their bone marrow has been exhausted."

Since he came, Zhao Chong was relieved. He said with a smile, "is general Pang good at this? Is there a girl you like, let's go in and have fun? "

"It's not interesting." Pang Fei shook his head again and again, "these women who are tasted by thousands of people. It's no fun being charming. It's just like sheep bone soup, which has been boiled for several times, but it doesn't smell delicious. "

Zhao Chong then snickered and said, "is it difficult for general pang to prefer the kind of" half hidden door "

"What is a half hidden door?"

"That is House prostitutes Zhao Chong said, "a lot of good women, some married, some widowed, in order to earn some money, secretly pick up some guests. This is one of Xiangyang's unique beauties. How can the general not know? "

Pang Fei was greedy and said with a happy face: "is it really "A good woman?"

"Then there's a fake!" Zhao Chong affirmed, "I'm a native of Xiangyang. Who is a good family, who has fallen into the dust, is not clear? Don't say, I prefer the half hidden door, hehe! Places like YingYuan are full of hypocrisy. The women there just took you as their husband's heart. They would not know you in the twinkling of an eye when they raised their pants and threw money. They would be guilty when they went out of the door! Half hidden doors are different. Even if you go, people may not be willing to pick you up. Even if I pick you up, I have to see if Le is willing to sleep with you. That depends on your ability. One style, two characters. That's to her taste. If you don't know how to play chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, or if your mouth is as sweet as honey to make the woman happy, you can't be anxious. If the overlord is forced to bow, he will have to do the same! "

"So much fun? Then we must go! " Pang Fei was tickled and said, "do you know where there is a suitable semi shelter? Don't be an old widow with seven or eight children. It's better to be young and beautiful. It's better to be tall and plump and understand some poetry and wine. "

"Ha ha! General Pang is worthy of being a character from Chang'an. I'm tired of playing with everything. It's delicious! " Zhao Chong grinned and said, "don't tell me, I really have the most suitable half hidden door It's a pity that this woman's eyes are higher than the top. Ordinary men can't get into her eyes. I've never smelled it. She thinks I used to be a night lover. Do you think it's annoying Only one year after her wedding, her husband drowned. She was young, less than twenty years old. At the beginning, she was a famous beauty in Xiangyang City. The man who wanted to marry her could line up here and go to baguidu! I'm not bragging. Even if general Pang saw her, he would be astonished! That woman, tut Tut, is charming and versatile. She is famous for her poems and quyi. Unfortunately, she became a widow at a young age. Can't help being lonely? It's half covered. However, there are very few guests who can be accepted by her. Generally speaking, they are either talented and elegant young people or famous officials and dignitaries. General Pang, do you want to see it? "

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Fake, real, fake If you want to be happy together, you have to be realistic! " Pang Fei licked his lips and thought: from leaving Chang'an to now, I'm afraid it's one or two months since I met a woman. It's holding me so much What a rare opportunity today!

They walked through the streets in Xiangyang City for about a cup of tea and stopped in front of a small villa.

"Oh, this family is quite impressive." Pang Fei sighed.

"Of course. How dare a man marry her? " Zhao Chong shook his head and said, "when she got married, Xiangyang was shocked. Because she is the only son of a well-known local rich gentry. She has a lot of money and a great reputation! It's a pity that the only son went out to take a boat and ran into a big storm, so he was gone. ""Stop talking nonsense. What's the woman's name?"

"Xu Liang. We usually call her "flower lady." Zhao Chong said, "in Xiangzhou's local custom discourse," flower lady "refers to one of the most beautiful women in the world."

"Is there such a heresy?" Pang Fei could not help but curled his lips, "if you want to say that beautiful women are like clouds, no matter how many they are, they can't be more than Huangli palace? I've seen a lot. But I want to see how beautiful this lady is

"General Pang, please Zhao Chong pointed to the door, "the door is open, don't believe you push."

"Really?" Pang Fei came forward suspiciously, pushed a door that seemed closed with a little dark force, and the door really creaked and opened.

"That's true!"

"Go in, what are you waiting for?" Zhao Chong said with a smile.

"Don't you come in with me?" Pang Fei asked.

"This kind of thing Of course, you can only go in one at a time! " Zhao Chong Shen smiles and shakes his head, "after a while you go in, she will close the door tightly. When you want to receive a guest again, you will hide the door again. "

"So..." Pang Fei murmured in his heart and said, "what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm standing here waiting for the general to come out!" Zhao Chong said with a smile, "don't worry, I won't go far. Lady Hua never stays up at night. You'll come out later. Let's go to the Inn and buy wine in the morning. It's good to go back to work. "

"Well, just a moment." Pang Fei opened the door and went in. He said: I'm not afraid of it. I'm afraid of a widow's family?

Walking in, I only saw a delicate two-story building with a flower garden in front of it. The rockery and flowing water are quite elegant. Pang Fei couldn't help laughing and said: it's really much more interesting to come to such a place to look for romance than to visit kilns!

Walk along the flower path towards the small building. When you come downstairs, you can see the light on the second floor and a string playing. In the night sky, I heard a clear female voice coming from the top of my head: "the guests are far away. It's too late to meet each other. Please forgive me. "

"Don't be polite, lady Hua. I admire Yan Ming. I'm here to ask for a drink." Pang Fei said it straight to the point.

At this time, the window on the second floor was pushed open, revealing the half figure of a woman.

Pang Fei took a look. Suddenly a little crazy.

"My mother, is there such a charming little widow?" He couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and said in his heart, "bah, I'm really hopeless! Where is the beauty more beautiful than that in the palace Er, maybe I haven't touched a woman for a long time. This lady is really ecstatic! "

The woman on the second floor, with her apricot eyes and peach cheeks, gently lifted her jade fingers like spring onions on her cheeks and smiling, reveals the unique tenderness of Jiangnan women. In the eyes, there is a wave of Wang Qinghong. The well proportioned and plump body was dressed in red, and the chest was hollowed out. Show the towering white breasts. At the moment, she was leaning forward to visit downstairs. The deep cleavage seemed to be rippling gently, which made Pang Fei's heart swing.

"Mr. Lang has a good face and doesn't sound like an official in Xiangyang." The flower lady opened her lips lightly.

"Lady Hua is as smart as a torch, and she knows a lot." Pang Fei said with a smile, "I'm Pang Fei, an official from Chang'an."

"Oh, but a distinguished guest from Chang'an?" Lady Hua was slightly surprised and asked, "what's the matter with Lang Junyuan? Do you want to do business, play or visit relatives or friends? "

"Neither." Pang Fei smiles.

"That's..." Flower Niang son lightly frowned once, slightly slant a head, take some witty and confused of ask a way.

Pang Fei couldn't help it. He was afraid that lady Hua would not let him go upstairs, so he blurted out: "to tell you the truth, I'm here to be an official."

"Be an official?" As expected, lady Hua's face was slightly happy, "dare to ask Mr. Lang, what's his position?" Don't worry about my family's nagging, but I never take care of the street hooligans who don't do their jobs. "

"I don't mind telling you." Pang Fei was generous and said with a smile, "I'm a Wufu. I've just taken the post of Captain Guoyi of Xiangzhou military mansion."

"Xiangzhou Guoyi? So It's not a small official Flower lady obviously also showed a trace of surprise, "see Lang Jun's face is good, but weak crown, unexpectedly do such a high official, really young and promising - Lang Jun please go upstairs!"

After that, Hua Niang's hands were lifted. A bunch of things dropped from the upstairs and landed on the ground, jingling. It turned out to be a bunch of keys.

Pang Fei was very happy. He picked up the key and went to the door of the small building. He saw ruo's big copper lock hanging on the door. He couldn't help laughing and said: if it hadn't moved her, she couldn't have climbed the small building It's a great night. It's more than a hundred times more interesting than visiting the kiln!

……

The next morning, after the bugle in the barracks. The whole army assembled and began early training. Qin mubai personally presided over the training.

After Yuanmen cut the scar and killed people yesterday, the whole camp was cleaned up. No one dared to regard the military order as a joke any more. This can be seen from the speed of the assembly of all the soldiers. Fast, quiet and tidy, we can't see yesterday's messy situation. Everyone's face with some nervous and serious expression, it is quite serious.Seeing this, Qin mubai was secretly satisfied. It seems that Feng scar didn't kill in vain. It's a cut. It really shocked most people and put an end to some unhealthy tendencies.

The whole camp began to practice, nothing more than running, crossing and archery. Qin mubai didn't have to take charge one by one. He made an inspection tour of the school. Naturally, these ordinary soldiers can't be compared with the elite Baiqi soldiers. It's no longer appropriate to describe them in terms of fists, legs and brute force. But at present, they are just a group of ordinary soldiers.

It's time to have breakfast. Qin mubai returned to the Chinese Army account, eating breakfast and asking the people around him, "why hasn't Pang Fei come back yet?"

"I don't know! Maybe I bought some wine and I'm on my way

"Did Zhao Chong come back?"

"Zuoying water army trained early with the whole battalion. I didn't see Zhao Chong when I was training early. "

Qin mubai stopped eating and muttered, "when did Pang Fei do things so slowly? One night is not enough to buy a drink. "

"Maybe we'll be back soon. General, wait. If general Pang comes back, he will be called to the general in his humble position to make a point. "

"Well."

This has been until noon, and there are still no figures of Pang Fei and Zhao Chong.

Qin mubai was so nervous that he knew something bad. He secretly sent several hundred riders out of the camp to Xiangyang City to find out. Half a day later, he reported the news that Pang Fei and Zhao Chong had not been found in the whole city. At this time, they still did not return to the barracks!

"General. What's wrong? " Asked the general.

"Keep quiet and keep the wind tight." Qin mubai said, "it seems that there is something strange. Is it because Du Chengyuan did something to arrest these two people?"

"Will something happen to them?" "If you kill Zhao Chong and kill him, it's very possible to hold on to general Pang again," Bai Qi said anxiously

Qin Mu white eyebrow twist up, in the heart some call regret: careless, really careless! Xiangyang is Du Chengyuan's territory. If a big city, anytime and anywhere may have his minions! If Pang Fei and Zhao Chong really fall into his hands, they may be detained or killed!

It's really a big deal. The devil is a big deal. This bastard is going to attack so soon!

"General, why don't we fight with him, too?" The hundred riding soldiers said angrily, "it's really the opposite. I dare to attack general Pang!"

"If there is no evidence, Du Chengyuan will not admit it. Isn't that why we're making trouble out of nothing? " Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow, waved his hand and said, "what's more, it's not necessarily that Du Chengyuan caught Pang Fei. Why did Du Chengyuan catch Pang Fei? "

Several hundred riders on the scene looked at each other and thought hard for a while. Someone said, "that's true. If I were Du Chengyuan, I would never commit a crime against the wind and take Pang Fei. If it's revenge for Feng daoscar, it should be directed at the general. Catching Pang Fei will only frighten the snake and make us more angry. Put himself at a disadvantage. "

"Well said." Qin Mu Bai nodded sharply in his eyes, "who else is going to catch Pang Fei? Obviously, catching Pang Fei is not just to kill him, or even Zhao Chong will not disappear. "

"Is it to blackmail us?" Some of the hundred riders were surprised and said, "now even Zhao Chong is missing. We can only give up the plot we have just made. It's the other side's profound plan! General, some people think that even if Du Chengyuan didn't do it, it has something to do with him! Otherwise. How can the other party know that we are using a counter measure against Zhao Chong? How could it be so coincidental to know that general Pang and Zhao Chong went out together and chose such a suitable time to start? "

"Well said!" Qin mubai clapped his hands and said, "it can be seen that the other side is not small, and it is likely to be bigger than Du Chengyuan's. From this we infer that In Xiangzhou, Du Chengyuan is not the most powerful role. He has the upper hand. He's just acting on orders and giving information. "

"Who would that be?" The crowd was surprised and said, "is it Is that the one in the Xihe channel, the song Cao master

"It's possible!" Qin mubai took a deep breath, thought for a long time, and said, "now we can basically rule out the possibility that Du Chengyuan directly arrested people, but it is very likely that he informs. In Du Chengyuan's organization - let's call it an organization for a moment - there are other leaders in his organization, namely, the leader of the Song Dynasty. If he caught Pang Fei and arrested Zhao Chong. And for what purpose? "

"General!" One of them was surprised and said, "if it's the water ghost who captured general Pang, they're too bold and reckless! Those who dare to let them take such a risk must be of great benefit! "

"Selling grain?" Qin mubai's heart leaped out these two words, patted his head: Yes! Didn't I ask Zheng Anshun to talk about the 500000 stone grain business with the Zhengchang grain company? If the other side really has such a large amount of grain to sell, how can it hide from our army? If you want us to let go and hold Pang Fei hostage, it's a good strategy!"What now, general?" All the soldiers asked eagerly.

"Take it easy." Qin mubai waved his hand and said. "Now it's all our hypothesis, there's no evidence. Now we have to prepare for the worst, that is, Pang Fei and Zhao Chong have been killed, but this is unlikely. If so, it must be Du Chengyuan's black hand for revenge, which is simple and clear. But if the other side just takes Pang Fei as a hostage to coerce him, it's just the beginning. If it is possible, they will definitely contact me again. Because it's me who really decides, not Pang Fei. "

"General, listen to you. Do you want to explore the tiger's den yourself They were surprised.

"That's right." Qin mubai gently picked the corner of his mouth and said, "it seems that our opponent is more powerful than we thought. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will wither away? You must keep a secret and don't let out the news about the disappearance of Pang Fei and Zhao Chong. Later, I went to Xiangyang City alone. As expected, something will be discovered. "

"It's too dangerous, general!" There was a unanimous opposition. Said, "or let us a few brothers, accompany you to go?"

"No, it's easy to miss things because there are so many people and so many eyes." Qin mubai firmly waved his hand, "if I were the master of song Cao, seeing that I brought so many people, I would either not contact me, or I would secretly get rid of you, and then contact me."

"We are not afraid of Xiao Shuigui! General, take us with you

"Shut up, it's a military order!"

"Yes..."

As it was getting late, Qin mubai put on his plain clothes and prepared to leave the barracks alone and go to Xiangyang.

When I just came to the gate of the barracks, I heard someone arguing there.

"How many times do you want me to wait for you to say that the army has already been banned, and no one is allowed to go in and out at will!"

"Do you want to go away?" A very thick voice yelled, "no, I'm going to swing you away! I have made it clear that I was sent by King Wu to find general Qin! Something urgent! You can't afford the delay! "

"If you dare to break into the barracks, we will dare to shoot indiscriminately!"

"Try it! I'm going to tear you watchdog The voice roared like thunder.

"Yuwen Hongtai, don't stop!" Qin mubai gave a big drink and walked over.

The sergeants were surprised and stood aside to salute: "general, this man doesn't know the password and doesn't have a festival symbol. He has to break into the Barracks at night. If he is stopped by a villain, he has to fight!"

"Eh, you little monkeys dare to sue me?" Yu Wen Hong Tai stares big a pair of copper eyes. You're about to bump into it and do it.

Qin mubai suddenly stretched out a hand to support Yuwen Hongtai's chest, just like a palm holding a raging horse, Yuwen Hongtai couldn't step forward.

The sergeants gaped: "what a magic power!"

Yuwen Hongtai was also stunned. He quickly put away his hot temper and stepped back. He turned his face and giggled: "brother Qin, I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."

"Brothers, continue to patrol the camp. You've done the right thing. You should be so strict with your posts. You have no iron face." Qin mubai nodded to the sergeants and praised them, "although this man is an old friend of mine. No one is allowed to put him in without a password. "

"Yes, general!" All the sergeants saluted happily, formed a small team and went to patrol the camp as before.

Yu wenhongtai grinned and scratched his head: "brother Qin, don't blame me. I really have something urgent, otherwise I won't break into the camp."

Qin mubai winked at him: "talk in another place."

They strode forward and left the barracks. Xu Yuan came to a small forest. Qin mubai said, "come on, what's the matter?"

"Something's wrong!" Yu Wen Hong Tai's eyes glared and said nervously in his voice, "Your Highness, let me inform you Zheng Anshun is missing! "

"What?"

"It's true. I dare not lie to you." Yu Wen Hong Tai Leng road.

"Fool, you are still in a daze!" Qin mubai slapped him, "follow me to Assassin's mansion!"
