The bloated convoy arrived in Youzhou City at Shenshi.
Above the city walls with ice and snow, the armored soldiers holding swords stared at the pedestrians under the city with cold eyes.
"Brother Fifteenth, this city wall is not high."
Zhou Lu'er was a little disappointed.
Outside the pass, he always heard people telling the story of the great city of the Tang Empire. In his imagination, the walls of these big cities of the Tang Empire should not be brought to the sky like the Tianshan Mountains in the distance?
Now the walls of Youzhou City are far inferior to the hills where the sky burial platform is located.
"Brother Fifteen, I think I can climb up even if I carry a dead person."
He thought about it in his heart and said to Gu Liubai beside him.
"Do you really think you're a monkey?"
A few soldiers waiting for rotation on the side of the city wall accidentally heard Zhou Lu'er's words and immediately sneered.
This kid is as thin as a monkey, but he is very good at bragging.
"Don't go through the city gate well, why climb?" Gu Liubai was not in a mood to talk to Zhou Lu'er.
In the city in front of me, I wonder if the restaurant that Liang Fengning often went to was still there.
When Guo Beixi passed by, the money shop that saved money still recognized the old bill in his bag.
When Liang Fengning left Youzhou City, the governor of Youzhou was Ouyang Zhucheng.
A year later, Ouyang Zhucheng was assassinated and the one who succeeded Ouyang Zhucheng was Pei Huaizhong, a son of the Pei family.
Three years later, Pei Huaizhong was transferred to Beiting.
Hua Cangming's father Hua Hua Huaxian became the governor of Youzhou, and has been until today.
More than half of the old soldiers in Shanyin Guards were transferred from Chang'an. Not only did they receive the true qi method given by the emperor, but they also had some powerful private goods on them. The entire Shanyin Guard even had more than twenty Xuan armors.
When Pei Huaizhong left Youzhou, Shanyin Guards had already declined, and several of the capable people were divided up by the top leaders of the border troops in the north.
Although Shanyin Guards are still the elite of Youzhou military, their strength is no longer comparable to those of the past.
During the four years, Shanyin Wei changed drastically and two military governors were replaced. It was related to Liang Fengning. Gu Liubai thought about it and checked it.
The heartless Zhou Lu'er's eyes broke away from the city wall, but he thought the cave in the city gate was a bit interesting.
The city gate hole is much deeper than the city gate holes that are closed. After inspection, the carriages entered the city gate one by one, and it seemed like they were swallowed by the monster's big mouth.
The monster's big mouth seemed to have not been full.
Hua Cangming was now greeting a general from the city gate guard at the edge of the cave.
The generals of the city gate guard looked at Ming Yang and others in the center of the convoy and said with some concern: "General Hua, I have to record the number of criminals. If the number of people in the city does not match, it will be very troublesome."
Now Gu Liubai and Yinshan are all rushing around and all the people who have to stand the inspection. There will be no problem with entering the city to check, but those people in the Headless Bodhisattva Temple do not have the identity that can pass the inspection, and they pass the inspection as the arrested criminal.
But those people are neither bound nor have any signs of punishment. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell what is going on at a glance.
"Don't worry, you can register the number of criminals truthfully. After half a month, you will naturally be sent to the cell. There will be no problem."
Hua Cangming made a promise.
He reassured the city guards, but he felt a little upset. He didn't know how Gu Liubai got some people from Youzhou City to charge the numbers.
As long as the city guard generals are not in trouble in the future, he is naturally willing to turn a blind eye to this situation, not to mention that the number of children from aristocratic families in this convoy makes him feel a little numb.
Even when Gu Liubai passed by the city gate to ask about the locations of some shops, the city gate guards immediately gave him two cowhide maps.
The map of this city defense force has countless practical markers than the map of ordinary caravans.
For example, some houses will indicate that they should not be approached, or when they go there, they will easily be rewarded.
Some shops are marked with very poor wine, some alleys are marked with very comfortable girls, and even places where you drink wine are marked with the price of acquaintances, and how much money you usually need to prepare for overnight stays.
Gu Liubai glanced at these two maps and praised Hua Cangming sincerely: "It seems that you Youzhou Army is very good at living."
Hua Cangming was such an honest man, and he even replied seriously: "Yes, the military pay is not too much, so you have to save some money."
"Brother Ningxi, if you are not familiar with Youzhou City, do you want us to take you around the city tonight?" Yan Changshou felt that his chance to show his performance was here and said sincerely: "We know some fun places."
"I have some urgent matters to do, just give me a carriage." Gu Liubai politely declined.
"You use their carriage." Hua Cangming was really doing things. He directly asked the city guard to give a carriage for Shangguan's guards.
This Youzhou City is not as good as the wilderness outside, and there are still many rules. Just ignoring curfew at night will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
This kind of carriage has special marks, and he said hello, so Gu Liubai could walk sideways even at night.
After asking the location of the inn where everyone would stay tonight, Gu Liubai asked He Huoluo to drive and head towards a place shown on the map.
"What are you doing in a hurry?"
Pei Yunqi looked at the carriage where Gu Liubai was leaving directly. She couldn't help but cursed several times in her heart.
"Li Xizhi, I've changed my mind." She suddenly said to Li Xizhi.
Li Xizhi was stunned, "What?"
"Don't make him qualified for the cover-up ceremony." Pei Yun grinded his teeth in hatred, "He is doing the fifteenth day, and I am doing the first day of the junior high school."
"Then I will help the lady ask about this matter tonight, so you can recover from your injuries."
Li Xizhi suddenly felt happy.
He didn't think he could help Gu Liubai get the qualification to cover the curtain Dharma Assembly in this identity.
"I made it early, and I made him envious, jealous and hateful."
...
"Great grandma, I'm back in Youzhou City now. Can you do your fifteenth brother a favor?" Zhou Lu'er was already arching into the carriage of Old Woman Zou again at this time.
Mrs. Zou took out a pottery pot from beside her and handed it to Zhou Lu'er. She asked with a smile: "What kind of help does he want me to help him?"
Zhou Lu'er took a piece of candied fruit and ate it, stuffed another piece into the mouth of Old Woman Zou. He smiled and said, "Brother Fifteen said he wanted to check the background of all pawn shops in Youzhou City. He said that if you ask, it would be related to checking those bandits."
"Are you going to investigate those bald bandits? I'll arrange someone to help him investigate later."
The more Mrs. Zou looked at Zhou Lu'er, the more she felt that she wanted to live in this world for more years.
This great-grandson is so popular.
Too sensible and kind.
After finally returning from outside the pass, I suddenly arrived at such a bustling city. I didn’t pester her to go to a lively place to play, and didn’t bother me to eat anything delicious. I actually wanted to help Gu Liubai do such a serious business as soon as possible.
She reached out to touch Zhou Lu'er's head and asked, "Good grandson, what are your fifteenth brother in a hurry to do?"
Zhou Lu'er said with a smile, "Has he left something for him, he was in a hurry to see what it was for."
"Fanhuafang, Wuyou Cave".
This is Gu Liubai's first destination after entering Youzhou City.
On the two maps given to him by the general of the city gate guard, the marked words made people feel the meaning of gritting teeth: "Ecstasy, bone-eroding cave, expensive! I can't afford to go!"
Gu Liubai has two square brands in his hand that are the same style but have different materials.
This brand is half the size of a palm. One side is as smooth as a mirror, with no characters or patterns, and the other side is a double-petaled flower engraved in the middle.
One of the square brands is sterling silver, while the other square brands are translucent glass, with bright yellow on the upper part and emerald green on the lower part.
The square brand of sterling silver is one of the relics of Guo Beixi.
And that translucent glass brand was one of the relics his mother left to him this time.
Guo Beixi did not tell him what this square brand was or what its use was, but in the letter he left to him, he asked him to take this glass brand to Fanhuafang and Wuyou Cave, and asked him to give the brand to the people in Wuyou Cave to take a look.
Before sunset, the carriage driven by He Huoluo entered the flower shop.
This Fanhuafang is similar to Pingkangfang in Chang'an.
The difference is that most of the singing girls in the Sanqu land of Pingkangfang in Chang'an are official prostitutes with registered residence in the Jiaofang. These prostitutes are managed by fake mothers or masters, and their movements are restricted. In addition to being invited by guests to travel, these singing girls are only allowed to go out three times a month. Even if they go out, they still have to pay a deposit of a small amount.
But most of the flower shops in Youzhou are private prostitutes, and the ways in which seem to be more complicated than Pingkang shops in Chang'an.
It was early this time, and the streets in Fanhuafang were walking without any obstacles. Wuyou Cave was located in the center of Fanhuafang and was the most expensive brothel in Fanhuafang. This brothel seemed to have few customers on weekdays, but its methods were completely different from ordinary brothels.
As soon as He Huoluo's carriage drove into the Fanhuafang, a pimp mother inside Wuyou Cave had already learned the news.
No matter who is sitting in the carriage of Shangguan Xunwei, no matter where he goes to enter the Fanhuafang, what should be prepared naturally must be prepared.
When the carriage appeared on the street in front of Wuyou Cave, the madam appeared in full dress.
The madam was only about twenty years old. Her facial features were not particularly delicate, but her skin color was like white jade. When she smiled lightly, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, which was particularly charming.
Seeing the boy walking out of the carriage, she was stunned, but the smile on her face became brighter.
"Worry-free Cave?"
Looking at the sign upstairs and making sure there was nothing wrong with this place. Before the woman could speak, Gu Liubai took out the square sign from his sleeve and handed it to the woman quietly.
The woman with a white jade-like skin bowed and chuckled, "I don't know what you mean, little gentleman."
"oh?"
Gu Liubai calmly put away his glass sign from his sleeve, "Where is this one?"
The woman immediately restrained her smile, bowed seriously again, and said, "It turns out that the boss is here."
Chapter completed!
