Chapter 178

As the end of the year, business in Anjing West City has become more and more prosperous, and people who buy New Year’s goods can be seen everywhere in the neighborhoods.

After returning to Anjing from the Jingji camp, King Li Ao immediately went to the Luoyang Palace, "What kind of books do you think you read every day! I'm a rare return, let's go! Accompany me to the West City."

Regardless of whether Li Xuansheng agreed or not, he directly pulled Li Xuansheng away from the palace. Gu Bei, who became Li Xuansheng's maid, begged to go together, but in desperation, Li Xuansheng asked him to change it to men's clothing and go together.

The group arrived at Xishi, and Li Ao rushed straight to his destination, Wangbei Tower in Xishi.

On the way to Wangbei Tower, Li Ao whispered to Li Xuansheng, "I haven't seen each other for two years, but the butterflies beside you are one after another? Hey, when will I have the luck of your love blossoms?"

Li Xuansheng smiled bitterly and said, "If you think this is a love luck, what if you give it to you?"

"No! I'm not blind. This girl is a trainee, right?"

"How did you see it?"

Li Ao laughed and said, "If I don't have any vision, how can I be a good imperial captain!"

Before we knew it, the group came to Wangbei Tower. This Wangbei Tower was an industry under the name of Gurban, the shopkeeper of the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce in the Western Regions. The gilt plaque of Wangbei Tower was hung on the second floor of the main entrance. The Feibai on the plaque was written by Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. Wangbei Tower was twenty feet east and west and thirty feet north and south, and the inside was Hui.

The entire Wangbei Tower is completely in the style of the Han and Tang dynasties. It has five floors in total, with one to three floors extremely ordinary decoration, just like the common Central Plains pavilions. The characters who stay on these three floors naturally conform to their identities.

At the fourth floor, the Han style of the Central Plains was completely replaced by the Western Region style, with patterns and jade and murals forming a unique exotic style. The wooden floor is covered with exquisite carpets, and the air is filled with refreshing fragrance of flowers.

There are independent private rooms on the second floor of the Wangbei Building, with a total of 160 rooms on the second and third floors, while the fourth and fifth floors are half less than the second and third floors.

To ensure the privacy of the guest officer, all rooms are separated separately, and a foot wide space is left. The staff equipped with different sizes will also be different.

There is also an unwritten rule in Wangbei Tower that those who hold weapons are not allowed to enter, and violators will be given special care. Of course, there have been guests who have entered with weapons in the establishment of Wangbei Tower, provided that they have Gurban's Moon Round Order.

When he entered Wangbei Building, Li Ao took out his warrant, and the shopkeeper on the first floor immediately arranged for the waiter to receive him.

Li Xuansheng looked around and now that except for the shopkeeper wearing navy blue clothes, the rest of the waiters were uniformly dressed in white, with moon wheel embroidered patterns on the cuffs and collars.

Walking up the fourth floor and entering the private room, Li Xuansheng met a familiar guy, "Zhou Baiwan?"

Zhou Baiwan stood up and greeted him, "The Caomin has met His Highness, Prince of Qi!"

After the two of you took the seat, Zhou Baiwan took the seat before he took it, and Gu Bei took the seat himself and sat next to Li Xuansheng.

Zhou Baiwan glanced at the graceful maid and chuckled, "I think you are Gu Bei as the King of Yunnan's letter, right?"

Gu Bei said in surprise, "How do you know my name?"

Zhou Baiwan slapped his palms, and the waiter in the private room brought the wooden box, "This is what the King of Yunnan dragged me to you!"

Opening the wooden box and putting two short swords in it, Gu Bei said happily, "This is the Red Cloud Double Daggers from Dali! The God of War really loves me! Thank you, don't be too naughty!"

Zhou Baiwan was suddenly embarrassed, but it made Li Xuansheng and Li Ao laugh.

Li Xuansheng asked Zhou Baiwan, "What wind has blown you to Anjing? And when did you get so close to Brother Qi?"

Zhou Baiwan had no choice but to explain that he had just returned from Nanzhao and went to take a look at the industry in Fuling. You must know that it was what Xiao Chenping promised him. As for King Li Ao of Qi, it would be even simpler. When Li Ao was studying at Wolong Academy, the two of them had already met, and they could be said to be classmates. Li Xuansheng had never asked about it before, so he naturally did not talk about this matter.

Zhou Baiwan also told Li Xuansheng about Fuling. As a trading town between Nanzhao and the Han and Tang dynasties, Fuling gradually showed its geographical advantages. There were three people from Shangguan and Nangong, Tuyan, who were in charge of the overall situation, and Zhou Dai, the chief consul, will sooner or later rise and become an important town in the southwest of the Han and Tang dynasties.

However, the whereabouts of one of them made Li Xuansheng happy for him. Luo Yi was promoted by Sun Xun to the imperial camp in the capital because of his bravery and fighting. Just in time, the King of Jin selected the royal guards of the royal guards, and Luo Yi became the captain of the Jin royal guards.

This royal palace commander is higher than that of the Imperial Army commander. He is divided into the fifth rank with Li Xuansheng, the Ranger General.

Since Luo Yi has such conditions to embark on the career of officialdom, why did Tu Yan and others not seize this opportunity?

In Zhou Baiwan's words, that is, they were having sex with Li Xuansheng, so how could they defect to others at will? Furthermore, they were too comfortable in Fuling and didn't want to come to Anjing to show others the yard.

After hearing this, Li Ao couldn't help but become interested in these people. To be honest, he envied Li Xuansheng. He was obviously younger than him but could participate in this Nanzhao conquest.

As a martial royal family, in addition to meritorious and military positions, having their own team is the greatest honor. Especially in the future, becoming the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five is a guarantee.

Li Xuansheng and Zhou Baiwan were talking and laughing, but did not notice the change in Li Ao's eyes at all, and naturally they were not clear about what he was thinking.

The three of them talked till the hour of Xu and heard a noisy sound from outside the door, "What sound?"

The waiter replied, "This is the Xu Shi dance unique to Wangbei Tower! If you are interested, the younger one can take you to watch."

Li Ao whispered, "What do you think?"

"no problem!"

Zhou Baiwan, who is the payer, took out a golden bead from his purse and put it on the table, took out another golden bead and handed it to the waiter in charge.

Walking out of the room, the waiter came to the room where he watched Xu Shi dance. This room was actually a corridor opposite the private room.

Li Ao looked at the first floor and said, "I really don't know which dancer will appear tonight?"

Li Xuansheng was not interested in dancing. Four dancers wearing plain white gold long skirts, emerald crowns, and ribbons around their arms appeared on the stage.

When the piano was played, four dancers were seen with their legs crossed, their left hand on their hips, their right hand held up, their ribbons were flowing all over their body, and their skirts were spinning in an arc shape.

The beautiful figure is like willow catkins, the jade bi is light and relaxed, and the dance clothes are light and like blooming snow lotus. The charming and charming dancer's smile on his eyes attracted the audience to cheer.

Zhou Baiwan couldn't help but exclaim, "Hold up your sleeves with a drum, and the snow flutters and turns to dance!"

After the dance, Li Ao's guards came to report something, and Li Ao left first. Zhou Baiwan also had to find the poster Gurban, and Li Xuansheng had to be led down the stairs by the waiter.

After leaving Wangbei Tower, the guards left by Li Ao were driving the carriage for a long time. Before Li Xuansheng got on the carriage, the dancer who had just danced suddenly bumped into him. He only heard the dancer say to Li Xuansheng, "Save me!"

Li Xuansheng noticed that the veil was covered with blood. At this time, five strong men from the Western Regions brown and round faces walked out of the North Tower, pointing to the dancer beside Li Xuansheng, and said in Kucha, "The bold thief, dares to assassinate my master!"

One of the men quickly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to grab the dancer. Gu Bei threw out the wooden box and smashed it at the man.

"Click!"

Gu Bei cracked the brown man's hand bone with one blow, and the man held his right wrist with his left hand screamed.

When the others saw their people being injured, they rushed forward together. Several cold lights flashed by, and the four brown men who came up to steal the people were all cut off.

Li Xuansheng picked up the dancer and walked into the carriage. The waiter who sent Li Xuansheng out of the building hurried to find Zhou Baiwan. After Zhou Baiwan knew about it, he said to the old man in the Hu clan's clothing in front of him, "Gurban, which drama are you acting?"

Gurban said in the unstandard Central Plains Mandarin, "Nephew Zhou, you know that Wangbei Tower has always been a choice for refuge from the powerful people of the Hu clan!

I think this is a misunderstanding! It is a total misunderstanding! Haha!"

Zhou Baiwan pulled Gurban's beard and smiled wickedly, "Old man, I warn you, it's better not to have any thoughts! Otherwise, the young master of the Xiao family will not let you go! You know the consequences!"

Gurban patted Zhou Baiwan's shoulders and smiled, "That's natural! You people in the Central Plains often say that harmony makes money!"
