Volume 1 Chapter 289: Serving the King Like a Tiger
It was still broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly. The girls of Tianxiang Tower were exhausted after working the whole night. Many of them were now catching up on sleep in their rooms. Some of the girls who were out doing business were also listless, after all, the real way to make money was to wait until night.
Even if there were guests coming to Tianxiang Tower during the day, they were only a minority.
The four gorgeous girls who were greeting guests at the door were also in poor spirits and kept dozing off. But not long after, all four of them had shining eyes and stared in the same direction, and some of them even drooled.
The focus of the four people's attention was on Xiang Yun and Jiang Yue who were walking in a hurry. Two men, one was wearing a dragon robe, noble and extraordinary, with a fair and handsome face, like a graceful young man and a dream lover; the other was wearing a general's armor, tall and muscular, with delicate features and clear contours, and he looked straight ahead, and at first glance he was full of heroic spirit.
If they were lucky enough to serve such a man, they would be willing to do so even if they had to pay him.
And looking at the direction the two were heading, it was their Tianxiang Tower!
All of a sudden, the four girls perked up their spirits. They ran over from a distance, smiling and posing coquettishly. Two of them supported Xiang Yun, and two supported Jiang Yue, and said with a sweet smile, "Please come in, gentlemen!"
Another girl asked, "I wonder if you are here to drink or have fun, in the hall or in the side room?"
Xiang Yun let the two of them support him, and then said with a smile: "We came to Tianxiang Tower to have fun, but let's drink first. In the hall, bring me all the good wine and food, and fill up the entire table!"
Jiang Yue, who was standing by, secretly groaned in his heart, then shook off the hands of the two girls who were supporting him, glared at them fiercely, and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to touch this general again, you will bear the consequences!"
Xiang Yun was unhappy when he heard this, and waved his hand to comfort the two girls, "Don't be afraid, ladies. This guy is just trying to scare people. I'm here today, no one can hurt you!"
Then Xiang Yun said to Jiang Yue in a cold voice: "You are so rebellious. I brought you here to drink and have fun, but you dare to show your displeasure. Who are you showing it to?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was reckless."
Xiang Yun didn't care. He continued to hold Jiang Yue's hand, then walked into Tianxiang Tower and said casually, "Why are you kneeling down when we are talking so peacefully? Come on, come on, drink with me!"
The two of them walked into Tianxiang Tower. The sharp-eyed Tianxiang Tower madam saw Xiang Yun at this moment and was immediately frightened. She hurriedly came up to him with a smile and knelt down to say to Xiang Yun: "Tianxiang Tower shopkeeper Chen Bahua greets His Majesty the Emperor and greets the Marquis Zhongwu!"
Jiang Yue, who was forcibly pulled by Xiang Yun to sit next to the table and chair, asked in surprise: "How come you know us two?"
Chen Bahua smiled awkwardly and was about to explain, but Xiang Yun said, "It was just a one-time encounter. Come on, come on, I'm disappointed when I see you. Go, call all the girls in Tianxiang Tower to come to me and serve them well!"
"Hey!" Chen Bahua agreed and quickly retreated.
Now Jiang Yue was even more confused. He really couldn't imagine how the emperor could have any connection with the mama-san of Tianxiang Tower. But looking at the way the two of them looked, it seemed that they had an unusual relationship.
Xiang Yun on the side smiled knowingly. How could he say that the entire Tianxiang Tower now belonged to the imperial court? The owner of Tianxiang Tower was him, Xiang Yun!
And ever since he showed his strength last time and acquired Tianxianglou, anyone who is not a fool can guess it.
Soon all the delicious wine and food were served. Xiang Yun didn't wait for anyone to serve him, but picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass. He didn't care about the burning throat and drank the whole glass in one gulp, as if he was drinking water.
Xiang Yun's behavior made Jiang Yue even more confused. Seeing Xiang Yun pouring himself a glass of wine and preparing to drink the second glass, Jiang Yue thought about it and took a pot of wine to fill a glass, and drank it with Xiang Yun.
"Cough cough cough~!" Jiang Yue didn't have the ability like Xiang Yun to treat strong liquor as water. After he drank it, he felt a fire burning his throat, which was unbearable. It even made his face red.
In fact, Jiang Yue's alcohol tolerance was not high. When he was a rickshaw driver, he was poor and could not drink much alcohol on weekdays. Alcohol was a luxury for him at that time.
Later, he was appreciated by Xiang Yun and became a high-ranking official. Good wine became something he could easily obtain. However, from being the commander of the imperial guards to the current Marquis of Zhongwu, he was always cautious and trembling with fear. He carefully considered every word and action, fearing that he would make mistakes and lose his official position.
So even though there was wine, he drank it very rarely. He would never drink except during festivals or at banquets. Over the years, his alcohol tolerance had never improved. Although he could drink, it was never much.
What's even more ridiculous is that the same thing happened to Xiang Yun. He drank little in his previous life, and after coming to this world, he drank only a few times. Like Jiang Yue, he could drink, but not much.
But Xiang Yun felt upset today. He just wanted to drink and get drunk so that he could forget all his worries.
Xiang Yun drank three cups in a row. Seeing Jiang Yue's miserable look, he laughed and mocked him mercilessly: "Hey, you are still the loyal and martial marquis. You can't even drink this little bit of wine. Any woman here can drink more than you!"
As he said that, Xiang Yun filled another glass for himself and drank it all in one gulp; he did not use the Golden Dragon Energy to dispel the smell of alcohol, but completely relied on his current physical fitness to withstand it. He came here to get drunk, and if he couldn't get drunk, there would be no point.
Jiang Yue heard Xiang Yun's words and felt an unknown desire to win and fight. He said with a sob in his voice that had not yet recovered: "Your Majesty, I am not a very good drinker, but I can definitely compare to the women in Tianxiang Tower!"
"Hahaha~" Xiang Yun laughed happily again upon hearing that, and continued to tease, "Hey~ You're so serious and you still say the word 'woman'!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue quickly poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all. His expression suddenly changed, but he forced himself to hold it back. Then he said unconvincedly, "I still know how to talk. Women are women, and they can never compare to men!"
Xiang Yun was a little drunk when he said this. He was even happier. He picked up the whole wine pot and stood up and said, "I don't drink from a cup. Come on, I'll drink the whole pot!"
Jiang Yue was slightly intoxicated, and seeing that Xiang Yun really wanted to drink, he simply gave it a go, picked up his own wine pot and clinked it with Xiang Yun's, then said proudly: "Drink the whole pot!"
"Gulp gurgle~" The two of them drank a pot each without saying a word. Wow, the table full of delicious dishes was not touched at all, and the two of them did not look like they wanted to eat the dishes.
Soon a pot of wine was finished, and Xiang Yun seemed fine, but Jiang Yue, on the other hand, was stunned on the spot, his cheeks flushed and his face slightly tipsy. Just as he was about to speak, he burped.
When Xiang Yun saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter; at this moment, suddenly a lot of laughter and joyful voices were heard. Xiang Yun looked over and saw many beautiful girls in gorgeous clothes emerging from the upstairs. They came downstairs together, and came towards this side with excitement on their faces.
There were young ones who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, there were middle-aged women who still had charm, and there were also mature and intellectual ones, with tenderness and seductiveness in every glance. There were simply all kinds of them, and they all flirted with Xiang Yun and tried to flirt with him.
Are you kidding? This is the current emperor. If I could be favored by him and brought into the palace to be his concubine, it would be like a chicken turning into a phoenix, and I would be able to rise to great heights.
If an emperor's offspring is left in Tianxiang Tower, there is a high possibility that she will become a prince or even a queen mother in the future!
They weren't very good looking, but they had beautiful thoughts. Xiang Yun just smiled slightly when he saw them, and then said loudly: "What are you looking at? Come up and serve us!"
As soon as the emperor spoke, the girls became even more excited and hurriedly gathered around. Three or four of them hugged Xiang Yun and kept rubbing against him. The rest of the girls, seeing that they could not squeeze in, flew towards Jiang Yue and fell into his arms.
"Hey~ Don't do this, girl. There should be no physical contact between men and women. Let me go!" Jiang Yue's mind was in a daze. He only knew that the beauty was in his arms. He knew in his heart that he was letting down Zhen Yueling at home, so he struggled hurriedly.
But these girls thought that Jiang Yue was a man who was reluctant to accept, so they stuck to him like dog-skin plasters and wouldn't leave. After being pushed away by Jiang Yue, they stuck to him again. Soon, Jiang Yue's face was kissed dozens of times, leaving a face full of red lip marks.
Jiang Yue was about to get angry when he heard Xiang Yun say loudly, "How can you be so ungrateful? I invited them here and didn't ask you to pay. What are you afraid of? Can they eat you up? Or do you feel you've been taken advantage of?"
Then Xiang Yun smiled to himself and said, "You want to suffer a loss, but I won't let you. You are so beautiful!"
Jiang Yue was so angry after hearing these sarcastic words that he dared not lose his temper. He had no choice but to let these girls come towards him.
Not long after, Xiang Yun and Jiang Yue were sitting on a grand chair respectively. Some were massaging their heads, some were pounding their shoulders, and many were massaging their thighs, calves, and even the soles of their feet.
Then he opened his mouth and had a glass of wine, and then he opened his mouth again and took a bite of grape to moisten his mouth.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Yun said with a smile: "Jiang Yue, do you feel good? Are you comfortable?"
Just kidding, people who work in military camps all year round will inevitably suffer from back pain. After this massage, all the muscles in the body are relaxed, which is so comfortable.
Jiang Yue answered without thinking: "Comfortable~!"
"Hey, hahaha!" Xiang Yun clapped his hands excitedly upon hearing that, and then said to himself: "This is what life is, this is what enjoyment is!"
"That's right, enjoy it!" Jiang Yue also shouted, but as soon as he opened his mouth, another glass of wine was stuffed into his mouth.
As the girls poured him alcohol like crazy, Jiang Yue's mind became increasingly blurred, his eyes narrowed into slits. At this moment, the smile on Xiang Yun's face suddenly froze, and then slowly turned into a calm look.
The girls around were still massaging and preparing to feed them wine, so Xiang Yun said coldly, "That's enough, leave!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and a clever girl immediately said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to your room to rest? Let me serve you!"
Xiang Yun smiled slightly when he heard this, and the next moment he shouted coldly: "Get lost!"
At the same time, a huge pressure spread out, causing the girls around to scream in panic, and they all looked at Xiang Yun with horror on their faces.
