Oriole Line

Where is the owner at the moment?He and Wen Tao still had to rely on an old|bustard to bring them into Liangzhou City, but Pu Chen came in a few days ago when Khalil was still in Liangzhou. How did he do it?Tang Yu was full of doubts, but seeing Wen Tao's calm and composed appearance, he seemed to have returned to the General's Mansion in Jiankang. At that time, the Patriarch and Wen Tao always hit it off and never talked much, only he seemed to be out of his mind.

30, 30.

What Qiao Erniang said was indeed true. The city defenses of Liangzhou City have been loosened a lot in the past two days.When they arrived outside Liangzhou City, Qiao Erniang took care of them secretly, and then led them into the city through the corner gate in the middle of the night.

Liangzhou is located in the northwest, and its folk customs are tough.In the early years, this Liangzhou city had the largest market that communicated with the Western Regions, where good horses and furs from the Western Regions were traded for grain and cloth from the Jing Dynasty, so many locals in Liangzhou could speak Jie language.If you come here on weekdays, you will be surrounded by Hu merchants from the Western Regions, wine shops that open all night, and good horses.At this time, the gates of the entire Liangzhou city were closed, and every household had nailed their doors with wooden boards. The streets in the middle of the night were deserted, and only one or two barking dogs could be heard occasionally.

Wen Tao had never been to Liangzhou City before, but when he saw that the doors of every house were closed, he still felt something strange, and asked, "Is this Liangzhou City always like this?"

Qiao Erniang frowned and said: "Before this place was brightly lit every night, I don't know what happened. Do the two young masters have a place to stay?"

Wen Tao said: "I originally planned to find an inn in Liangzhou City, but now the doors and windows here are closed, and we have nowhere to go. I wonder if Qiao Erniang can provide some convenience?"

Qiao Erniang said with a smile: "There is a place, but I don't know if the two young masters are willing to go."

"We don't pick, as long as there is a place." Tang Yu interjected.

"Then follow me." Qiao Erniang saw that they were spending a lot of money, so she was happy to take them with her.

A group of people followed Qiao Erniang around the city and arrived at the back door of a courtyard.Qiao Erniang knocked on the door and called out a few times, the two young women inside hurriedly opened the door, seeing Qiao Erniang as if seeing a savior, they called out: "Erniang, you are back." He led several people into the yard.

Wen Tao carefully observed the surrounding furnishings, and saw that it was a rather gorgeous courtyard, with pavilions and pavilions quite in the style of the southern land. When he walked to the front hall, he wrote two large characters "Chu Pavilion".Wen Tao thought, that's right, it is indeed a brothel, judging by its furnishings and scale, it should be one of the best in Liangzhou City.

"Erniang, Erniang!" As soon as they walked to the front hall, a beautiful woman came up, grabbed Erniang Qiao's arm and said, "Fortunately, Erniang is back, otherwise, I don't know what to do up!"

This woman was dressed gorgeously, a red silk dress sprinkled with gold and pomegranate, which set off her slender waist, and a pair of deer-like eyes were already tearing up with anxiety.She didn't notice that besides the two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, Qiao Erniang had brought back two young sons just now, but she suddenly realized it at this moment, and suddenly said in amazement: "Who are these two young masters? How did they come here?" place?"

Qiao Erniang waved her hand and said, "It's just a passing merchant. Yaoniang, don't worry, tell me what's going on in detail? Why are every household in Liangzhou City nailed with wooden boards?"

Yaoniang...Wen Tao recalled, and remembered the conversation between Qiao Erniang and the innkeeper in Zhuxi Town. This Yaoniang should be the number one card in Qiao Erniang's brothel.

Yao Niang said: "After Liangzhou City surrendered Beiyan, their Da Shanyu led troops to come to sit in person and seal the gates of the Sifang City. At that time, people were panic-stricken, and every household locked their doors tightly. Not long ago, Da Shanyu left, and now It was their Huben King who was in the city, and thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but this Huben King loves beauty, and a few days ago, he issued a notice that all women in Liangzhou City who are thirteen but not thirty, No matter whether you are married or not, you must sacrifice to him. If you don’t sacrifice, you will be arrested after three days. If you don’t obey, you will be butchered! I heard that King Huben is nine feet tall, as strong as a bear, and his whole body is covered with hair. It is simply a wild beast! Right now, every household in Liangzhou City is even more frightened, many of them have offered to offer their own daughters, and those who don’t want to offer their daughters are nailed down tightly.”

"It's unreasonable!" Tang Yu said indignantly while listening, "It's so cruel and willful to coerce a woman, it's just a beast!"

Yaoniang glanced at Tang Yu gratefully, and then worried again: "The daughter of another family may be able to hide it, but who doesn't know that Erniang's Chu Pavilion is one of the best romantic places in Liangzhou City, and I can't hide it anyway. Ah, woo woo woo..." Yaoniang began to sob as she spoke.

When Qiao Erniang heard this, she also anxiously said: "What should I do? If I really hand you over to that King Huben, who knows what he will do to you!"

When Yaoniang heard it, she knelt down sadly and said: "Erniang, I have always treated Erniang as my own parents. I am not from Liangzhou. I left my hometown when I was a child, and was bought by Erniang. I trained me carefully and opened the door to receive guests. After a few days of good life, I encountered this unexpected disaster. Although I am not Erniang's biological child, I beg Erniang not to hand me over!"

Although Qiao Erniang also sympathized with Yaoniang in her heart, but thinking of Yaoniang's fame, it is impossible for King Huben to find out. If he does not hand over Yaoniang, her brothel will be slaughtered by Beiyan's people .She was in a dilemma, and after thinking about it, she still refused to give Yaoniang an answer.Seeing Qiao Erniang's attitude, Na Yaoniang understood a little, and cried even more heartbroken.

At this moment, a voice suddenly heard: "I will go for you." Everyone was shocked, and it was Wen Tao who spoke.

"Hey, are you okay!" Tang Yu was shocked.

"King Huben's behavior is barbaric, how can I let the girl go to take risks. Why don't I pretend to be a girl and go there for you." Wen Tao said calmly.

"But, the young master is a man, how can he get there?" Na Yaoniang hesitated.

On the other hand, Erniang Qiao looked at Wen Tao carefully, and said with a palm: "It's easy to handle! This son is already handsome, but if he puts on women's clothes and gouache, he must be a delicate woman. But, son, go It will definitely be exposed sooner or later, this is going to die!"

Wen Tao smiled and said, "Er Niang, don't worry, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, so there is no problem in protecting myself. If I can get close to King Huben and kill him, it will not be a waste of my martial arts skills."

Qiao Erniang was startled: "My lord... you have thought it through."

There was a trace of determination in Wen Tao's eyes: "I will never regret it."

Yao Niang knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Young Master, for saving me."

Tang Yu on the side sighed: "So, I can only pretend to be your maid. However, since Yaoniang is the number one card in the Chu Pavilion, many people must recognize her. If you pretend to be her, how good it is to be exposed by others ?”

Qiao Erniang said: "It's not difficult. Yaoniang is the top card. Although she is famous outside, she has not seen many people. It is very difficult to see her if she is not a powerful person. When the time comes, the young master should wear a veiled hat. It's fine. It's just..." Qiao Erniang hesitated to speak.

"Just what?" Wen Tao asked.

"Can the young master dance?" Qiao Erniang asked carefully.

"Dancing... dancing?" Wen Tao was rarely shocked.

"Yao Niang is the best at dancing. If you go in pretending to be Yao Niang, you will definitely be asked to dance. If you don't know how to dance, won't you expose yourself?" Qiao Erniang said.

"I can learn." Wen Tao looked very calm.

One day later, Qiao Erniang, who had taught Wen Tao for five full hours, was out of breath, and complained to Tang Yu: "I have never taught someone who can't dance like this!"

Tang Yu followed Qiao Erniang's gaze and saw that Wen Tao was wearing a woman's gown, which was beautiful when he was still, but when he moved, he was either on the same hands or feet, or was extremely stiff. How could he have the demeanor of a brothel?

Yaoniang, who had just been relieved, was also very anxious when she saw this. She volunteered to teach Wen Tao a piece she thought was the simplest and absolutely impossible to make mistakes. As a result, an hour later, Yaoniang shook her head like a rattle, and said in frustration: "This young man is really like a wooden man, he can't jump at all, what should we do?"

Wen Tao curled his lips with an innocent face, as if he was not talking about him.At the same time, he also reviewed the movements Yaoniang taught just now, and it was as stiff as a dummy.

Seeing this, Tang Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, but the current situation is critical, and he didn't have the heart to make fun of Wen Tao. He was thinking hard about countermeasures, and suddenly he had an idea: "Hey, do you have a dance called sword dance, which is similar to dance The kind of sword?"

"Yes, this young master can dance with a sword?" Qiao Erniang's eyes lit up.

"Sword dancing is natural." Wen Tao said, taking his own sword and fighting with it.For a moment, the sword light overflowed, and the clouds and water flowed freely, as if the person who behaved stiffly just now was not him at all.

Qiao Erniang was delighted to see it: "Young Master, you should have said it earlier, if you knew that you have this ability, why would we bother!"

"However, I heard that women's sword dance is a dance after all, so it's different from sword dance." Wen Tao said.

"It's not difficult, my lord, try it with this wooden sword, slow down the movement a little, and make it softer." Qiao Erniang said.

Wen Tao nodded, took the wooden sword, and started dancing again.This time, not only Qiao Erniang and Yaoniang, but even Tang Yu were stunned.Sword dance sword dance, the most important thing is heroic spirit. The maiko dancers that Qiao Erniang trained in the past are always more than soft, but not heroic.Wen Tao, on the other hand, made the heroic spirit of the sword dance up to [-]%. Coupled with his beautiful and arrogant face, he is really a stunner in the world.

Qiao Erniang sighed and said: "Young master's sword dance is better than our Yaoniang's soft dance, so it's safe to go in now."

Wen Tao finally felt relieved, and said to Erniang Qiao: "I will pretend to be Yaoniang, and my friend will pretend to be my maid, and ask Erniang to give us a maid. I
