Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Faced with Fang Yiai's sudden attack, the madam's expression changed slightly.

She waved her handkerchief and said, "Master Fang, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but the master has told me not to let these three fortune trees be thrown away."

"Besides, Master Fang, Master Yang, and Master Chai are all noble princes-in-law. How can these three girls who came from brothels enter your noble mansion?"

"If the three lords like girls from the Western Regions, I can tell my master and see if I can find a Western Region royal family to hire her with a large salary!"

Although there was no shortage of foreigners in Chang'an, most of them were traveling merchants who came to trade goods, and most of them were men who had not taken a bath for more than a month.

Beautiful women from the Western Regions like these would not take the initiative to visit the Tang Dynasty, and they would not be able to travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to come here.

Therefore, it was not easy for officials and noble families in the Tang Dynasty to even see such beautiful foreign women, let alone own them.

Only the royal families of the Western Regions paid tribute to the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin every year and would carefully select some beauties to send to the Tang Dynasty.

And his master is a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, so he can hire such a beautiful Western woman. These three playboys in front of him are not able to do so.

Upon hearing the information that the madam intentionally revealed, Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu and Yang Yuzhi's faces froze and then became serious.

Yang Yuzhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madam, who is your master?"

"He actually has such great means that he can even be on good terms with the royal family of the Western Region?"

Even though those countries in the Western Regions surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and became one of its diplomatic allies, they were not too afraid of the Tang Dynasty's military force.

Because these states were too far away from the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains' royal army had been unable to reach them for thousands of years.

The reason why these states submitted to the Tang Dynasty was simply to exchange advanced books and tools from the Tang Dynasty.

The madam quickly turned around and looked at Yang Yuzhi, and apologized to him.

"Master Yang, my master's identity is sensitive and it is not convenient to say it out loud. Please forgive me."

Yang Yuzhi showed an unhappy expression on his face, but did not continue to ask.

Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, who were standing aside, looked at each other and had strange expressions on their faces at the same time.

Fang Yiai asked curiously, "Madam, was the Rouge House in Luoyang opened by your master?"

Among the most famous brothels in the Tang Dynasty, one is the Yanzhi Tower and Qunfang Tower in Chang'an, and the other is the Yanzhi Tower in Luoyang.

Gunali and Laxiti, who were both from the Western Regions, used to be prostitutes in the Yanzhi Tower in Luoyang. They were eventually redeemed by the King of Wei for a large sum of money.

Since there are women from the Western Regions in both Baihualou and Yanzhilou, this means that the two brothels were opened by the same person.

The madam covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Master Fang is truly a great man of the time. He figured it out in one go. I really admire him!"

"You are right, Yanzhi Tower and Baihua Tower were both opened by my master!"

It was not illegal to talk about a brothel opening a branch, so the madam readily told the truth.

As long as Fang Yiai, this second-generation rich man, doesn't continue to cause trouble and disrupt their already sluggish business at Baihualou, they'll be thankful.

Just when the madam thought the matter was over, Fang Yiai suddenly chuckled and said.

"Since Yanzhilou was also founded by your master, you should know that two Western dancers from Yanzhilou were redeemed by someone for 500 strings of cash a few years ago."

"This time, I will redeem the three Western Region dancers at once. It should be okay to give you 600 strings of cash, right?"

At that time, the redemption of Gunali and Lasiti was arranged by Wei Su'an, the leader of the spies under the King of Wei.

Fang Yiai had recently been living with Gunali, and when they were chatting privately about each other's past, Gunali told him this secret.

what?

Are you willing to pay a mere 600 strings of cash to redeem the three beautiful girls from the Western Regions?

To send away beggars?

When the madam heard the price Fang Yiai called out, her face was full of disbelief.

When the madam saw Fang Yiai still acting so arrogantly, she started cursing in her heart.

"This damn Fang Yiai, he's already drunk before he's even had two glasses of wine?"

"It's simply a pipe dream to redeem a girl from the Western Regions with only 200 strings of cash!"

You should know that if you hire a girl from the Western Regions to dance for one hour, it will cost a full 1 string of coins, not including food, drinks, etc.!

These four girls from the Western Regions play the piano or dance for three hours every day, which can bring three strings of cash to Baihua Tower!

Each of them could earn 180 guan in two months. How could they possibly redeem Fang Yiai for 200 guan?

This small amount of money is not enough to redeem these girls from the Western Regions, let alone other ordinary prostitutes in Baihua Tower, as the masters behind them might not agree.

Fang Yiai saw that the madam was stunned and said impatiently.

"Madam, whether it's okay or not, you better give me a definite answer!"

"Don't make Master Yang wait so long just for a word from you!"

Although Fang Yiai had 1 strings of cash given by Li Tai, he embezzled 5 strings of cash for his own use, leaving only 5 strings to bribe the people in the Weiwei Temple.

He tried every means to curry favor with Yang Yuzhi, just wanting him to leave for Luoyang this month.

Now that Yang Yuzhi has made it clear that the weapons will not be escorted to Luoyang this year, there is no need for Fang Yiai to spend a lot of money to please Yang Yuzhi, a villain who is delaying important matters.

Yang Yuzhi, who was sitting on the side drinking leisurely, turned pale when he heard that Fang Yiai was only willing to pay 600 strings of cash as ransom.

Although he is not good at doing serious work, he is a master at having fun.

The price offered by Fang Yiai clearly showed that he did not want to spend a large sum of money to redeem the three Western women. He just wanted to put on an act for himself.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Yang Yuzhi's heart was filled with disgust towards Fang Yiai.

"Humph!"

"So you're making a fool of me!"

When Yang Yuzhi looked at the hypocritical Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, a nameless anger rose in his heart.

No wonder these two people would hang out with the King of Wei. They are a bunch of stingy and sinister villains, simply a nest of snakes and rats.

If he had seen through the false faces of Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu earlier, he would not have agreed to let them come today!

The madam firmly rejected Fang Yiai's unreasonable behavior.

"Master Fang, please don't embarrass me!"

"Let's forget about redeeming the four girls from the Western Regions. I will send you a jar of fine wine later, as my apology to you."

Fang Yiai pretended to be angry, and just when he was about to scold the madam for being ungrateful, Yang Yuzhi, who was full of anger, spoke.

"never mind!"

"My dog gave birth to a litter of puppies today. I have to go back and take care of them. I'll take my leave now."

After Yang Yuzhi finished speaking, he did not say hello to Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, but walked out of the Zixia Palace private room quickly with a gloomy face.
