Overwhelming mountains and rivers

After the song was over, King Xin couldn't help but praised: "Young lady is good at playing the piano, not much worse than Miss Qianxue in the capital."

"My lord's praise, how Ruyue compares to the seniors in the capital, but she has learned a little bit." Ruyue doesn't know who Qianxue is, but she knows that she has to answer this question.

Seeing her quick response, King Xin couldn't help liking her even more, so he rewarded her with a piece of silver.

……

After drinking for three rounds, both of them were a little drunk. Seeing this, Hou Qing asked the old bustard for two rooms and asked the prince to rest.

Hou Qing was winky, after a while, he naturally knew that King Xin liked Ruyue more, so he mentioned Ruyue to help King Xin rest, and King Xin nodded in satisfaction.After the bustard lured the prince and Ruyue to leave the banquet, he also invited the girl to the room.

King Xin was helped into the room by Ruyue, his swaying body stood up straight in an instant, not even the slightest bit drunk.

The old bustard who sent people here was also shocked when he saw this, and before he could make any movements, he saw King Xin made a gesture, and the old bustard's expression changed, and his whole person instantly became less rouge and vulgar, and more cautious and serious, as if Changed the individual.

"I don't know the lord?" the old bustard cautiously asked.

King Xin didn't answer her, but sat down on the chair by the table, and took out a token from his arms. It was a jet-black token with intricate patterns, and in the middle of the pattern was engraved a red-gold "Thousand Machines" Two words.

Although the forces in the Jianghu during the Dayuan Dynasty were not as good as they were in their heyday, they could faintly compete with the forces of the imperial court, but there are still a few well-known forces in the Jianghu that should not be underestimated.

Among them, there are four most well-known ones: Gu Jianfeng, famous for its swordsmanship and sword casting, Chenyin Pavilion of the killer organization, Miracle Doctor Valley with extraordinary medical skills, and Qianjilou, known for everything.

Gu Jianfeng is said to be hidden from the world all the year round in Sichuan and Shu.

Chenyin Pavilion takes killing as its business, but it is very principled and never kills rashly.

The genius doctor Gu has only the owner of the valley, and his medical skills are unpredictable.

Finally, Qianjilou is a news organization, which rose rapidly in the arena eight years ago.

Qianjilou takes the brothel as its main mode of existence. It is their job to collect news from all parties, and after screening, leave the news that is closest to the truth.They hold the news first-hand, and selectively resell it, but do business not only by money, but by the tokens issued or donated by the organization.

Such an organization that may reveal other people's secrets with one blow at any time, was also feared by many powers in the rivers and lakes or the court at the beginning. Naturally, there were many people who wanted to get rid of this force, but some of those people They disappeared inexplicably, but some suddenly changed their tone and supported Qianjilou.Somewhat unexpectedly, in the first year of its existence, Qianjilou quickly stabilized and became widely known.

Qianji Building has a main building, only the owner of Qianji Building and close people know its location.The bottom is operated in the way of brothels, because outsiders don't know which brothel belongs to Qianjilou, so even if they intend to prevent it, it is impossible to guard against it.Moreover, the brothel is only the main channel for Qianjilou to collect news, there are still many unknown channels, so although Qianjilou is feared by people, it has become the number one news building in the world.

Every brothel affiliated to Qianjilou has a manager, who is called "Lingzong".As long as the holder of the order finds a brothel belonging to Qianjilou, someone from the brothel will check the token and take him to see Lingzong.The holder of the order can trade with Qianjilou, as long as he pays the corresponding chips, he can get the information he needs.

The old bustard saw that Wang Xin's gesture was exactly the gesture agreed by Qianjilou, so she expected that this was a guest, and she would definitely show the token next.

But when I actually saw the token, I was really surprised.

It was because the tokens held by the guests who came to Qianji Building were all red "Qianji" tokens, but there was only one red gold "Qianji" token, which belonged to the owner.

The identity of the owner of Qianji Building is only known to the people close to the owner, and the manager of the branch brothel naturally does not know.

"Pass down the Lingzong here."

The bustard immediately reacted upon hearing this, pulled Ruyue who had been standing by the side since entering the private room, knelt on the ground together, bowed down to King Xin, and said: "This subordinate has seen the landlord, and the villain is about to It is the Lingzong here."

"Oh? You are Ling Zong? Then this Ruyue girl must be the leader here?" The most powerful informant in each branch brothel is called "the leader of the line".

This Kisaragi is incomparable to other girls and young ladies in terms of bearing and coping ability.Even in the wind and dust, it makes people feel bright and unique.Such an existence is naturally the best candidate to collect information.

"It's the servant's house." Ruyue quipped again.

"Well, get up. You two must remember that the landlord of my Qianji Tower is not the Xinwang of Dayuan, but the iron-faced Langzong Chihua who disappeared in the rivers and lakes ten years ago. Do you understand?"

The old bustard and Ruyue looked at each other, and they both instantly understood that the landlord has a special status, and he is also the prince of the court, so it must be inconvenient to reveal his identity.

"But the landlord, this Zong Chihua?"

The old bustard was a little worried, although Zong Chihua disappeared ten years ago, and there were many rumors in the world that the iron man was dead, but the rumors were rumors after all, if Zong Chihua appeared one day, wouldn't it?

"You don't have to worry about these. Zong Chihua was used by this king eight years ago. It is not a lie to say that he is the landlord. Now he is in charge of the main building."

After hearing this, the bustard felt relieved, and couldn't help being full of admiration for the host.

Everyone in the world knows that the king of faith is romantic, and he has never cared about the power of the court, but it turns out that the real king of faith is so unfathomable.

Qianjilou, the No. [-] news building in Jianghu, even Zong Chihua was sent by him... Thinking of this, the old bustard felt a little fear in his heart. Is this King Xin really the King of Xin that the world sees?Such a person, such a landlord, is a bit scary.

The old bustard raised her eyes to look at King Xin, and her eyes were a little more panicked than before.

King Xin saw the fear in her eyes clearly at a glance, and couldn't help but smile, "Why? Do you think this king is double-faced?"

"Subordinates dare not!" The old bustard was startled, and wanted to kneel down again.

"It's okay. I have my own reasons for doing things. You don't have to be so panic, as long as you do things well, I will naturally treat you well."

"Yes. The subordinates will do their best."

The old bustard felt a little relieved when he heard this, thinking about it, no matter what kind of king Xin is, he is not something that his subordinates can comment on. He should do his own thing well and not take responsibility, which is what he should really care about.

"Okay, let's talk about it, the two of you. What's going on with Hou Qing?"

"Back to the landlord, this Hou Qing, according to the information we have received, he is just a dandy. He has often bullied men and women, and he is used to flattering and flattering."

"Well, it's the same from my king's point of view. Apart from this, isn't there anything else?"

"From the current point of view, he does not belong to the spies sent by the powerful forces."

King Xin picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, lightly tapped the rim of the cup with his index finger, and thought: "He is not a spy, if he is used as a spy, but he doesn't know it?"

"What does the host mean?"

"Check, let me check this Hou Zhizhou carefully. In addition, first collect all the news related to him, and I want to see the results as soon as possible."

"Yes."

King Xin put the teacup on the table, raised his hand to straighten his messy hair, propped his head on his hand, and half-closed his eyes, as if he was tired.

"Ling Zong, go down. Miss Ruyue, you stay. I'm afraid you will be wronged to rest in this outside room tonight."

King Xin tapped his temples, thinking of Hou Qing who came with him, he had no choice but to let Ruyue stay. Fortunately, this is a first-class private room, not only luxurious and spacious, but also divided into inner and outer rooms.

"Yes, I understand. I was originally a prostitute, and it is a blessing to be able to serve the prince, so there is no need for grievances. If the prince needs anything, just use the slave as a follower."

"No need, I'm tired, you just go and rest on your own."

"Yes."

…………

The next day.

When King Xin woke up, Ruyue was already waiting by the table, seeing that he was awake, she hurriedly brought over the water basin that had been prepared.

"Don't be busy, the king will come by himself."

"Yes."

Ruyue retreated to the outer room, and King Xin began to dress and wash.

……

When King Xin walked out of the inner room, he saw the old bustard and Ruyue sitting at the table, presumably seeing him wake up just now, Ruyue went to invite Lingzong over.After this series of events, King Xin felt more and more that Ruyue was an alert and capable subordinate, and couldn't help but feel more satisfied.

King Xin pulled up a stool and sat down, "Lingzong, you can train Ruyue, so you don't have to let her pick up guests in the future. I think her looks and temperament can be 'show art without selling herself'?"

Ruyue couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard that, her eyes turned red with excitement, and she knelt on the ground again and again.

"Yes, sir. This subordinate will definitely support Miss Ruyue well. This subordinate originally planned to train her to be his successor."

"Thanks to the landlord and Lingzong for their support, Ruyue is willing to serve as a cow and a horse for Qianji Building to repay the kindness of protection!" Ever since Ruyue entered the Fengyue Gate, she never dared to think that one day she would be able to get rid of this "red lip ten thousand points, Jade Arm Thousand Pillows" fate.Even if he later entered Qianji Building, he just didn't want to live his life in such a muddle.

Now that I meet the landlord and have the support of the landlord, I am naturally grateful.

"how?"

"The information on Zhizhou has been sorted out."

Knowing that he was asking about Hou Zhizhou, the bustard replied immediately.

"Have you found anything?"

"The subordinates didn't find out that he has leaked any big horses, but there is one thing that is a little strange..." The old bust seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"Speak straight."

"Yes. Hou Zhizhou has shown that there is almost nothing wrong with everything. He is just a Zhizhou who flatters his superiors and ignores his subordinates. It's just that he has to go to Lushan Temple every once in a while. Every time he goes, he deliberately avoids According to the observation of my subordinates, he is not a Buddhist believer, so my subordinates find this rather strange."

"Well, what you said is very useful to me. After sorting out the materials, Hou Qing is here, and it is inconvenient for me to take them away directly. You send the things to the Bodhisattva Temple outside the city and show your token. There is my king. The soldiers you bring out, you hand them over to Mo Yi, tell him that it is the words of the king, and let him send people to watch Hou Zhizhou and Lushan Temple separately, he will naturally know what to do."

"Yes." The two took their orders and retreated.
