The two of them fled to a side alley. Looking out from here, they saw the outer wall and door of the green green building opened by Xiangyushan's father. There were many courtyards inside, and the scale was indeed larger than that of Yihongyuan.

The sky gradually darkened as the sun set in the west, and the lights of Cuibi Tower turned on, but there was a sad feeling in the eyes of the two people, reflecting their uneasy mood.

They sat on the ground against the wall as usual and stayed there for a long time. Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "That woman is so cruel, she actually wants our lives, and we can be considered her benefactors."

Xu Ziling said: "She doesn't want us to fall into daddy's hands. What should we do this time? We promised Li Shimin that boy would wait for Mrs. Dongming to come, but now daddy's men have attached themselves to us.

If you don't leave now, how long will it take?"

Kou Zhong said: "My life is at stake. Don't blame us, Mr. Li. Let's leave the city immediately, run as far as we can, and then go to Xingyang to find Sister Su Su. After all, her sisters have been kidnapped, so we took her with us."

Let's go back to the south and do business in the salt business of our Shuangyong Gang with peace of mind."

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: "If you leave the city in such a big way, either you will let that stinky woman hold it, or you will automatically sacrifice your sheep body into the tiger's mouth. The best way is to find a place to hide and try to climb out until late at night.

To escape from the city, with our current skills, if there is something like a rope hook, we will be able to braid it."

Kou Zhong praised Xiao: "I feel more and more that you are as smart as me. Come on! We have a lot of silver in our bags. We should quickly find an iron shop to buy a hook while it is still dark. As for stealing a rope, it is not difficult at all."

."

The two of them made a decision, refreshed themselves, and got into the street from the other end. They shrank away for a long distance, and then they realized that except for the tavern, all the shops were closed.

Kou Zhong had an idea and said: "Why don't we go to Xiangyushan for help? This guy seems to have some loyalty. Now that his friend is in trouble, he is bound to do it."

Xu Shaoling wondered: "Is he like that kind of person?"

Kou Zhong put his arm around his shoulders and walked across the street in the direction of Cuibi Lou. He said painfully: "This is called being desperate. We have no choice but to ignore who he is and treat him as a good one. The worst thing is that we are wanted."

If you commit a crime, report it to the official and wait for him to commit suicide.

And who knows if these officials are colluding with bitchy bitches or dads? Now I can’t believe anyone."

Xu Ziling said distressedly: "After I told that bitch about the Qingqiao, I really don't want to go to the brothel. Is there any other way to get out of the city?"

Kou Zhong said: "The other way is to dig a tunnel. I'm sorry for not accompanying you. Don't be so easily influenced by others, okay?"

Don’t forget that the girls we know in Yangzhou all voluntarily sold themselves to make money. Aren’t the so-called officials also selling themselves to be the emperor’s slaves? Girls are at least less likely to be beheaded. Ha! Here we are!”

The two of them walked across the busy street with noisy cars and horses. Under the bright lights, people came and went on the road, which was very lively. However, because they had witnessed the tragic scenes of the war, they always felt a little like facing the end of the world.

When they arrived at the entrance, they waited for a gorgeous carriage to drive through the door, and then followed it in.

Six or seven big men guarding the door came over to greet them. Seeing that they were well-dressed and in high spirits, they did not dare to neglect them. One of them said respectfully: "Welcome to the two gentlemen. I don't know..."

Kou Zhong knew Chong Kuo best, so he casually stuffed a bunch of money into his hand, pretended to be a wealthy young man, and said proudly: "We are old friends of your noble master Xiang Yushan. Is Yushan here?"

All the men were even more awe-struck, and the big man who spoke hurriedly said: "Young masters, please follow me."

Kou Zhong puffed up his chest and said, "Lead the way!"

He Biao bowed again and led the way.

The two of them followed him through the square where at least ten carriages were lined up, and walked towards the main building.

When I walked up the steps in front of the building, I was greeted by a pretty middle-aged woman with beautiful flowers.

He Biao approached her and said a few words in her ear, then bowed and left.

The beautiful woman came between the two of them with a bright smile, turned around and held their arms, and said in a cooing voice: "It turns out that she is a good friend of Master Xiang. I didn't know that the two young masters have different surnames. Wow! I almost forgot to call me Feng Niang. That’s it.”

Kou Zhong enjoyed the beauty she generously gave him. He followed her to the building and said, "My name is Zhang Shi, and his name is Li Min. Ha! Feng Niang, you are so beautiful that you are killing us."

Feng Niang laughed so hard that the flowers trembled and said: "Master Zhang is already an expert in flowering at a young age. Don't coax people casually! Otherwise, don't regret it when I let the slave family pester you for one night."

Then he gave Xu Ziling a flirtatious look and said, "Master Li is much more honest than you."

At this time, Kou Zhong forgot all about the stinky old woman or his father, and said happily: "This guy is just pretending to be an old guest. If you don't believe me, wife-in-law, you can give it a try."

Xu Ziling said in embarrassment: "Don't listen to him, I...hey! I..."

At this time, Feng Niang took the two of them to a group of more than ten groups of chairs in the lobby and sat down. She smiled and said, "Needless to say, how could I, Feng Niang, see the wrong person?"

Two young maids, aged sixteen or seventeen, came over, served tea and towels, and waited attentively.

They glanced around and saw that there were more than ten groups of guests sitting in the hall, making it very noisy.

After Feng Niang ordered someone to notify Xiang Yushan, she said in a charming manner: "With the talents of the two young masters, why doesn't that girl want to come and accompany you?"

Xu Ziling also felt relaxed and was about to speak. Feng Niang apologized, stood up and rushed to greet another group of guests who seemed to be big businessmen.

Kou Zhong said to the two maids: "Sister, there is no need to greet us, our brothers have secret things to say." The two maids left.

Kou Zhong said excitedly: "Have you ever experienced such scenery? Why don't we stay here tonight to have a good night? Who would have thought that we would hide here? Besides, these scenery are all thanks to Li Xiaozi, so we can just get there I'll try my best to board the Dongming tomorrow night, and I'll be doing my best for him."

Xu Ziling murmured: "Hey! I don't know what to do. My heart is confused and panicked. I don't know what to do."

Kou Zhong sighed: "In fact, I am also a little timid, but there has to be a first time, otherwise how can I be regarded as a man who is too husband?"

Later, we will ask Yiqi Mountain to select the two most beautiful girls for us, and make it clear that they will take on the responsibility of guidance. Hey! But if you say this, won't we lose all face?"

When the two of them were in a state of confusion, Xiangyushan came. Somehow, in his "hometown", this boy was extremely high-spirited. He was definitely not as useless as he was when they met him on the street today.

Especially with four big men following behind him, he was even more impressive.

After being separated by ten feet, Xiangyushan laughed and said, "Young Master Zhang and Mr. Li, they turn out to be two dear brothers. How disrespectful!"

Seeing that his attitude was still so sincere and living up to his nickname of "Loyalty Mountain", the two felt relieved and stood up to salute.

After the three of them were seated, Xiang Yushan asked, "You two gentlemen are coming to Pengcheng today. Do you have something to do or are you just visiting the mountains and enjoying the scenic spots?"

Kou Zhong knew that he wanted to find out their details and said with a smile: "It is said that traveling thousands of miles is worth thousands of books. We two brothers are traveling around the world just to expand our knowledge."

Then he leaned closer and whispered: "To be honest, we came to the brothel with the same sentiment of broadening our knowledge. Since this is our first time setting foot in the brothel, Brother Wan Wangxiang will give you more guidance and care. Hee! Brother Xiang understands.

Man, I probably don’t need to say anything more, right?"

Xu Ziling was amazed in his heart, Kou Zhong did have his own tricks, he could even say such embarrassing and humiliating things so naturally.

Xiang Yushan smiled suddenly, nodded and said: "This is no problem, you can take care of it on me."

After pondering for a while, he said seriously: "Brother Zhang and Brother Li, please forgive me for having such a superficial conversation. In the final analysis, what we men in this world pursue is nothing more than money and women. I see that both of these gentlemen are very talented.

Wearing high-quality weapons, we are by no means mediocre people. What are your plans for the future?"

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "We are drunk today. Now we only have plans for tonight. As for tomorrow, we will think about it when we get up, ha..."

Xiang Yushan laughed with him and said: "It turns out that you two have endless treasures in their pockets, so you don't have to worry about tomorrow at all. I'm really envious of you."

Xu Ziling said calmly: "Brother Xiang is definitely much richer than us. We only have plenty of money because we made a deal recently. We will have to start saving money again after we spend all our money later!"

Xiangyushan showed an enigmatic smile and said, "I wonder what kind of business you two are used to doing?"

The two of them were stunned for a while, and Kou Zhong lowered his voice and said proudly: "To be honest, we are in the salt business, hey!

It's the kind that doesn't require excise tax."

Xiangwangshan said happily: "I see, no wonder the two of me and I hit it off at first sight. Maybe there will be more possibilities for cooperation in the future?"

Xu Ziling asked in surprise: "Brother Xiang is also lucky to buy salt?"

Xiang Yushan said calmly: "This is a business that is more profitable than salt. But please forgive me for holding back for now. After you two have enjoyed all the fun in my Cuibi Lou, I will discuss the plan to make a fortune with Brother Zhang and Brother Li."

."

Kou Zhong said happily: "Is there any business that makes more money than Haisha? I must be all ears."

Xiang Yushan said calmly: "I still have something to ask you, and then I can take you two to expand your knowledge."

The two were overjoyed and nodded at the same time asking him to ask questions.

The name of Xiangyu Mountain was only two or three years older than the two of them, but his maturity was like that of a sophisticated adult, and he had already figured out the information he wanted to know about the two of them in an understatement.

Xiang Yushan smiled and said: "Now the world is in chaos, and heroes are rising together. Since the two of you are in the martial arts, you know the rules of the martial arts."

Now since I am eager to make friends with you two, I hope you can tell me the origins of the two sects, so that everyone can be honest with you."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances before saying: "Our martial arts are inherited from our families. Xiaomin and my father both work as escorts in the Huyuan Escort Bureau in Yangzhou, and we are also brothers. Hey! But they are all here.

On a business trip, I met a thief and was killed, so I went out to look for them."

Xiangyushan thought that Kou Zhong was talking nonsense, so he laughed and stood up and said: "You two, please come with me!"

The two of them remembered that they were about to learn the most important lesson in life, and they were overjoyed and let him go.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were surprised and delighted as they followed Xiangyushan out of the main building. Only then did they see that the backyard was originally connected to the houses. A gravel road connected the back door of the main building to another gate, and there were neatly trimmed gardens on both sides.

The roads between the two places were very lively with people coming and going.

Kou Zhong heard bursts of noise coming from inside, as if there were hundreds of people gathered there, and wondered: "Where is that place?"

Xiangyushan said proudly: "That's the biggest casino in Pengcheng."

Xu Ziling was startled and said: "We don't want to gamble!"

Xiang Wangshan smiled and said: "Of course I understand, but in history, prostitution and gambling have never been separated. A place without brothels and casinos can never be prosperous. The reason why our Cuibi Tower can dominate Pengcheng is because

It is the combination of these two businesses that has brought prosperity to the whole Pengcheng. Don't you want to broaden your knowledge? Don't worry, follow me to see more."

The two looked at each other and began to feel that their loyalty was not as simple as it seemed.

Just like in Yangzhou, the largest Naxian Casino is run by the Zhuhua Gang. Without a strong background, who would dare to get involved in such a big business to make money.

When the three of them entered the magnificent casino gate, Xiangyushan said loudly: "These two are my friends, you should greet them well."
