Chapter 14 Capital

[The mission has been activated (One Sword Knows the Frost: Progress 3%)]

【Character No. 3 has been activated】

The terrace is far better than Yichun Garden, and the lights are like a city that never sleeps.

The capital, the holy city.

Night has fallen quietly. All kinds of beautiful lanterns are hung high on the tall buildings on both sides of the street. In an instant, the lights are bright. The hawkers’ cries are endless. The bustling pedestrians walk in the center of the street. In the dark night that obscures the starlight, the city is as beautiful as a painting.

In this city, all you see are the best of the best: nobles with prominent family backgrounds, wealthy men who spend lavishly, and beauties who are enough to conquer a kingdom or a city. This is the capital city that countless people dream of.

When talking about the capital, we have to mention Qianjin Pavilion, where a beautiful woman's smile would cost a fortune. It is said that someone once spent a huge amount of money just to win a beautiful woman's smile, but beauty fades quickly and how many people can remain deeply devoted to her?

Inside Qianjin Pavilion, the woman in gauze was graceful and charming. The air was filled with a mixture of scents that were not unpleasant. The woman's charming laughter made everyone blush and willingly offer various jewels.

The music played, the beauties started dancing, the pearl hairpins on their heads twirled slowly, their eyes seemed to be unable to speak, and their skirts fluttered in the air, making everyone intoxicated.

On the second-floor stand, young men in gorgeous clothes were drinking wine while cuddling their beauties. They gathered together and told each other interesting stories they had heard recently. Some people were sitting alone at a table enjoying the service of beauties. But there was only one person who was not surrounded by beauties. He just sat there quietly, drinking wine and watching the dance, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him.

The young man was wearing a light blue robe, the hem of which shimmered in the candlelight. The pearl tassel on his left ear swayed slightly with his movements, and his lake blue eyes were slightly raised, like a very precious blue-eyed Persian cat.

Since the establishment of Beiyou Kingdom, the originally chaotic world has ushered in a long period of peace, the people have settled down and worked in peace, Beiyou Kingdom has become more and more prosperous and powerful, and formed a tribute system with various neighboring small countries. Merchants from different countries have flocked to the capital. Among them, there are people with blond hair and blue eyes in the nomadic tribes in the north. Therefore, the people of Beiyou are no longer surprised to see these blue-eyed people.

However, this young man does not have the high cheekbones and small eyes of the Hu people. Instead, his overall face is more like that of a Beiyou citizen. His eyes add a bit of exotic charm, which reminds people of the equally blue-eyed Concubine Hu in the palace. With such a beauty, it is no wonder that she has remained popular for so long.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the graceful figures on the dance floor, not knowing that he was also a scene in the eyes of others.

The dance ended, and the red silk slowly fell at the woman's feet. With a cheer, people around threw their money on the red silk. The madam standing by watched the scene with a fan in her hand, and the smile on her face became more and more brilliant.

The young men on the second floor were also throwing silver coins. They didn't care about this little bit of money. Two or three of them gathered together and looked at the young man in light blue clothes vaguely. Compared with the pair of blue eyes, they cared more about the pearl tassel earrings. Just looking at the quality, it was at least a thousand taels of silver. No one knew when such a person appeared in the Holy Tomb City.

Before they could avert their gaze, they saw the young man throw an object from his hand and it landed right on the collar of the leading dancer. The dancer, who had been hit by money many times before, still had a faint smile on her face, but when she skillfully put the object at the collar into her hand, there was a hint of shock in her eyes. It was a bright pearl, and perhaps she might not be able to afford it even if she danced in this Qianjin Pavilion for several months.

The appearance of this pearl also attracted the attention of many people present. They turned their eyes to the original owner of the pearl and saw that the young man had already stood up and left the stands.

Yun Wuque threw the pearl down and stood up to leave the stands. It was worthy of being the Qianjin Pavilion that countless talented men flocked to. The wine alone was enough to make people intoxicated. Yun Wuque was so greedy for wine that he forgot that he could not drink as well as Shen Yuqing.

"Young man, are you okay?" The woman in a pink dress looked at Yun Wuque worriedly. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her slightly made-up face was chilling.

Haitang had been eyeing Yun Wuque for a long time. She had been in Qianjin Pavilion for many years and could tell who was the rich man at a glance. However, this young man did not seem to like her being around him. In order to avoid disturbing the distinguished guest, Haitang had not approached him.

After Haitang saw Yun Wuque throwing the pearl downstairs, although she was a little jealous, she knew that the pearl would eventually fall into the hands of the brothel owner.

It was not until she noticed that Yun Wuque's steps were a little unsteady after leaving the stands that Haitang knew her chance had come.

Yun Wuque's eyes were blurred, and he said coquettishly, "Headache."

Haitang's breathing stopped for a moment. She carefully supported Yun Wuque and looked at the boy's clean face. She did not press herself against him as she did in the past. Instead, she was afraid that he would get her rouge on him.

"Young Master, let me help you go to your room to rest for a while." Haitang said softly.

Yun Wuque was not actually too drunk, he just drank too much and would be fine after taking a break. After realizing that the woman beside him had no ill intentions, he condoned the behavior of the two-legged beast like a cat.

Haitang brought Yun Wuque to a high-end guest room. This kind of room is usually prepared for dignitaries, and the facilities in the room are even more exquisite. After walking to the bed and seeing the bed, Yun Wuque was like seeing a cat covered in cat mint, and he threw himself on the soft bedding.

Looking at Yun Wuque rolling on the bed, Haitang's face showed a knotty expression, but before she could make any move, she saw Yun Wuque took out a pink pearl from his waist.

"I want to rest. Don't let anyone disturb me." Yun Wuque said while yawning, with a thin layer of mist floating in his blue eyes.

"I understand."

Haitang knew the fate of greedy people, so after taking the pearl, she obediently left the room.

After Haitang left the room, Yun Wuque's originally blurry eyes suddenly became clear. He looked around the room and buried his body in the quilt again.

Being drunk made his thinking a little slow. After feeling that there was no danger around him, Yun Wuque gave up resisting the sleepiness.

In his sleep, the sound outside the house made Yun Wuque frown unconsciously. He buried himself in the quilt and fell into sleep again.
