Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Rushing as fast as possible.
Murong Fu and Yue Lingshan finally stepped into the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
"Have you all heard? Sword God Ximen Chuixue is about to have a decisive battle with South Sea Sword Immortal Ye Gucheng at the Forbidden City."
"Hiss? Have they gone mad? Would the emperor, that brat, agree to this? What sword god or sword immortal? They're not even good enough for the imperial guards to chop down."
"Don't rush, let me finish. This matter was personally approved by Emperor Ming, who also authorized Lu Xiaofeng to sell spectator tickets."
"Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows? Where is he?"
"Why are you looking for Lu Xiaofeng?"
"Of course, we'll buy tickets to watch the game!"
"..."
Walking down the street, countless martial arts practitioners whispered among themselves, all saying: Seven days later, on the night of the full moon, the two top sword masters of Mingzhou will soon begin their duel.
Yue Lingshan frowned, looking somewhat worried, and said, "Husband, things may not be peaceful in the capital recently."
"It's alright, this is the capital, no one will dare to cause trouble."
It was as if his words were law.
Murong Fu had barely finished speaking.
A man wielding a knife and a young man wielding a sword started fighting after a disagreement.
The passersby seemed to have taken it all in stride, watching with amused expressions.
But before they could determine a winner, several figures suddenly appeared.
"You two have quite the nerve to cause trouble in the capital. Go ahead and take your time in the imperial prison." The newcomer sneered sharply, then waved his hand. "Take them down!"
"yes!"
These people acted swiftly and decisively, striking at vital points, and subdued the two Innate Realm martial artists within three moves.
Soon, order was restored to the streets.
Yue Lingshan's beautiful eyes flashed with apprehension, and she whispered, "Husband, those were people from the Eastern Depot. We must not provoke them."
Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "I keep to myself and don't interfere with them, so why would I provoke them?"
Yixianlou.
Having nothing to do today, I'm listening to music at the brothel.
Many wealthy young men and chivalrous heroes particularly enjoy the atmosphere here.
Murong Fu and Yue Lingshan stepped into this place.
A woman in pink, her long black hair flowing freely, her clothes fluttering, revealing her fair arms and long, white legs, her snow-white neck rosy, a slight smile on her alluring face, her dance enchanting, as if dancing in the hearts of men.
Murong Fu raised an eyebrow. Isn't this... Dongfang Bai?
The women's clothes look quite nice, even more attractive than when she's naked?
"Oh, Brother Murong, what a coincidence."
Suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng's voice rang in my ears.
Murong Fu smiled at Lu Xiaofeng, nodded and bowed, saying, "So it's Brother Lu, what a coincidence."
Lu Xiaofeng touched his four eyebrows and smiled meaningfully. Many men visit brothels, but it is rare to see one with his wife.
"Please come in, sir, and make yourself at home."
A scantily clad maid came forward and greeted them with a smile, ushering them inside.
Yue Lingshan had already realized that this restaurant was not respectable; after all, a respectable restaurant wouldn't have so many dissolute waitresses.
"Husband, shall we go somewhere else?"
"Hehe, since we're here, let's make the best of it. Shan'er, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Murong Fu patted Yue Lingshan's hand and smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan could only obediently nod. Although the place looked a bit improper, the atmosphere was indeed quite nice.
After the woman in pink finished her dance, her alluring eyes captivated countless men.
A still-attractive young woman stepped forward gracefully and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, how was your dance? This woman is named Dongfang Bubai, the most beautiful courtesan of Yixian Tower, and still a virgin. The starting bid is 10,000 taels of silver."
"What a formidable Dongfang Bubai! He lives up to his reputation. I'll offer 100,000 taels!"
"How dare you use such a name, just like that one from the Sun Moon Cult! I'll offer you two hundred thousand taels just for that name!"
"Alright! Prince Gong's heir offers 200,000 taels. Is there anyone offering more?"
"I... Bah! This young master will offer 100,000 taels of gold!"
"This young master is offering 100,000 taels of gold! What a generous offer!"
"..."
Many young people bid fiercely.
Beside the young master who offered 100,000 taels of gold, an old servant wiped away a bead of sweat. This master was really hard to serve; he had almost been exposed.
Murong Fu watched the master and servant pair with great interest. The young emperor was listening to music in disguise, and the head of the Eastern Depot was serving him in disguise. How interesting.
Yue Lingshan was dumbfounded. Although she had never been to a brothel, she had heard of them. However, spending 100,000 taels of gold to visit a brothel was something she had never heard of or seen before.
Murong Fu turned to Shan'er and asked, "Shan'er, did you like the dance you just saw? It's a pity we arrived too late and didn't get to see the whole thing. How about we have her dance again?"
"ah?"
Yue Lingshan was stunned for a moment, and didn't quite react.
Immediately afterwards, she saw Murong Fu raise his hand and bid: "Two hundred thousand taels of gold."
"Very well! This young master has offered two hundred thousand taels of gold! Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
The madam was beaming from ear to ear; she'd really struck it rich today!
The young emperor turned his head and stared at Murong Fu with a death stare.
Murong Fu responded with a smile: "If you don't have any money, brother, I can lend you some."
"Do you think I'm short of money? I'll offer five hundred thousand taels of gold!"
The young emperor was furious and said loudly.
The old servant's lips twitched violently, and he smiled bitterly to himself. The national treasury and the imperial treasury were already running out of money, and the emperor was still fighting over a courtesan. This... sigh, the only thing to do is to arrest a few more corrupt officials to make up for the expenses.
Murong Fu said calmly, as if in a provocation, "Five hundred and ten thousand taels of gold."
"One million taels!"
The young emperor panicked, clenching his fists. He vowed not to let the man know who this person was, or he would have his entire family executed tonight!
The people around were completely dumbfounded. Could it be that serious?
