Chapter 159 Xie Shian takes you to a brothel?
The little girl was dressed as a teenager today, wearing a royal blue round-necked robe with a floral pattern and a crotch. A jade hairpin tied her black hair into a fluffy bun, revealing her small face with white eyes, clear lips and red lips, just like a bright and shimmering young bamboo in the mountains after a recent rain.
It is incompatible with the cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol of brothels.
A hint of coldness flashed across Xie Guanlan's narrow eyes.
He told Xie Shian not to take her out for fun, but he actually brought her directly to a brothel!
Wen Xingluo lowered his head and did not notice Xie Guanlan's gaze. He just acted as a waiter and served the wine to the table.
She was about to leave when someone next to her said, "Go pour wine for the commander."
Wen Xingluo: “…”
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and pour wine for Xie Guanlan.
The eldest son of the Song family said solemnly, "If you don't accept the imperial edict, you'll be held accountable by the emperor. But if you accept it, we'll lose our military strength. If the emperor finds an excuse to attack Shu, we'll be attacked from both sides. What will we do then?"
Xie Guanlan lowered his eyes.
The girl's breasts sticking out from her sleeves were delicate and fair, her nails were painted with light red nail polish, and she poured the wine very carefully.
She lowered her head deeply for fear that he would discover her identity.
He said calmly, "All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. Since this is the king's order, how can I disobey it?"
Wen Xingluo glanced at him secretly.
He is going to send troops to Yelang?
Everyone was filled with worry and stood up to salute, "Commander, please reconsider!"
The eldest son of the Song family's eyes were red with tears. "Over the years, the imperial court has taken so much tax from our Shu County! Shu County's tax rate is one-tenth, which is lower than that of other counties. The army is already short of food and fodder, but the imperial court still wants to take another 70% of taxes from us! To put it bluntly, if the commander hadn't paid for it out of his own pocket, half of the soldiers would have been retired! Those small countries on the border have long been so rampant that they crossed Jiange and flattened Qingcheng Mountain! Now the commander is going to lead the army himself, what if something happens..."
Xie Guanlan drank half a glass of wine.
The private room was quiet.
Xiangjun's fingertips flew across the strings, and the sound of the pipa became faster and faster.
"The imperial court's order is a death warrant, but it also presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Xie Guanlan curled his lips. "In the past, the imperial court attempted to use the border states to control the southwest, and therefore forbade us to send troops on our own. Now that we have a legitimate reason to lead an expedition, why not go? Once we have eliminated the border states—"
It means that Shu County will no longer have any worries.
Annexing other countries also means expanding territory and increasing population.
He will have more cards in his hand.
The eldest son of the Song family probed, "Could it be that the commander-in-chief has been thinking about this since the beginning of the tea-horse trade?"
If the tea-horse trade proceeds smoothly, it will naturally be beneficial to Shu County without any harm.
But if the court discovered their intentions...
Then we will point our swords at the borders and annex all the countries!
The young heirs looked at each other and saw respect on each other's faces.
Unconditional concessions would only allow the imperial court to become more aggressive. Only by fighting their way out with blood and swords could they win a chance to breathe and prevent the imperial court from plundering resources from their homeland.
They have long been fed up with the court's extortion and extortion!
Xie Guanlan's ambition, bloodiness, and civil and military skills are exactly the reasons why they follow him!
The eldest son of the Song family was the first to speak: "I am willing to follow the commander-in-chief and personally conquer the various countries!"
"Me too!"
“…”
Unlike their excited crowd, Wen Xingluo frowned slightly and stared at Xie Guanlan in a daze.
Xie Guanlan looked ahead and saw from the distant hibiscus bronze mirror that the girl was wringing her hands tightly, her round almond eyes full of worry.
The little girl was worried about him.
Xie Guanlan tightly grasped the amulet worn around his waist, and a tenderness that was difficult for others to detect flashed in his narrow eyes as he looked into the bronze mirror.
Just lead the army in person.
He has been longing for this opportunity for many years. His blood is boiling and he wishes he could mount his horse and fight the enemy on the battlefield right away. How could anything happen to him?
For the sake of Zhenbei Palace, for his brothers, and for her, nothing will happen to him.
At that moment, someone suddenly nudged the little girl and said, "Hurry up and give the commander some more wine. Do you have any sense?"
Wen Xingluo quickly lowered his head and poured wine for Xie Guanlan.
Seeing her hesitating, the man couldn't help but say in disdain, "The commander forbids young ladies from serving him, so I called you in. You should hold up the wine cup and offer it to the commander. Haven't you ever served anyone before?!"
Wen Xingluo was embarrassed.
She had no choice but to pick up the wine cup and present it to Xie Guanlan.
Xie Guanlan stretched out his hand and placed it on the edge of the wine cup, just touching Wen Xingluo's fingertips.
He said nonchalantly, "The young man in Hua Man Lou, do you also want to put on nail polish?"
Wen Xingluo was startled and quickly hid his hands in his sleeves, lowered his head and uttered an indistinct "hmm".
Xie Guanlan chuckled, "I have a younger sister at home who also likes to wear this light-colored nail polish. I heard that her nail polish is a color she mixes herself, and it's not available anywhere else. How come your nail polish is exactly the same as hers?"
Wen Xingluo's heart was beating like a drum.
Xie Guanlan is very attentive and observant. Could he have already discovered her?
She smiled awkwardly, then suddenly turned around and wanted to run away.
Xie Guanlan grabbed her belt and pulled her into his arms.
In a hurry, the girl's jade hairpin fell off and fell on Xie Guanlan's robe. Her fluffy and thick black hair fluttered in the wind, revealing a panicked little face.
Xie Guanlan pinched her chin, and raised his thin lips in a cold smile, "Xie Shian took you to visit a brothel?"
The whole room was silent, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
I’ve seen men taking their sisters shopping, but I’ve never seen men taking their sisters to brothels.
Judging from the commander's expression, Xie Si is finished.
At this moment, a loud and arrogant voice suddenly came from outside, "Who is so blind as to dare to snatch someone from me?!"
It was Xie Shian's voice.
The second young master of the Song family followed up with a loud and arrogant cry: "Hurry up and send Miss Xiangjun over to us, and also give us two jars of good wine as an apology, otherwise you will be in big trouble!"
With a loud "bang", Xie Shian kicked the door open and rushed in.
A group of second-generation rich people stepped into the threshold and lined up in a menacing manner.
Xie Shian walked out from among them, lifted his brocade robe and stepped onto the embroidered cushion. He rubbed his nose with a domineering and dandy look, "You bastard! Do you recognize my identity?"
The atmosphere in the private room was stagnant.
Xiangjun lowered her eyes and smiled, still playing the pipa slowly and leisurely.
Wen Xingluo called out awkwardly, "Fourth brother!"
Xie Shian was stunned for a moment, then he looked straight at the person in the private room.
When Xie Shian saw clearly the young man in red clothes sitting in the middle, he was stunned.
The group of good brothers around him were also stunned.
After a while, Xie Shian coughed lightly, stood up straight, and said with an awkward smile: "Big... Big Brother?"
The drunken Song family's second young master shuddered, and when he saw his eldest brother was there, his eyes suddenly cleared up, "Brother..."
The originally arrogant and domineering second-generation rich kids, when they found out that their eldest brothers were there, immediately became like mice seeing a cat, with respectful calls of "big brother" coming one after another. They raised their heads and chests out as if standing at attention, and instantly became obedient and well-behaved.
Xie Shian: "Haha, haha, what a coincidence! This is really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other..."
