Rebirth of the Great Power

In fact, it is no wonder that Tian Yuan mistook this place as a place for wealthy people. In fact, this place is indeed a gold-selling cave for rich people.The brightly lit alleys, cars like flowing water and horses like dragons, but not like the hustle and bustle of the street market, full of fragrant clothes and shadows, endless luxury and decadence.Here is the gentle hometown of so many men, and the fragrant bone grave of so many women.

Speaking of which, traveling to ancient times to visit brothels is almost a standard feature of various time-travel novels.Although Wang Zheng has never dabbled in online literature, he can't bear it. He has two students who like to surf the Internet and read all kinds of weird stories in their spare time, and they have occasionally heard them complain like this.

I never thought that I would catch up with such a fashion after being reborn.Mu Yuan suddenly thought of it.

Walking into Baitiwuxiang, the stronger the fragrance of rouge, the more luxurious the feeling.Mu Yuan had never set foot in a similar place, and despite his calm face, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.Tian Yuan was young, he had seen little in the world, and he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, so the word anxiety was written on his face.Fortunately, there are cars and people passing by on this wide street, but there are no scantily clad beauties out to solicit customers, only well-dressed welcomes standing in front of various buildings, with professional smiles on their faces and thoughtful etiquette, The posture is neither humble nor overbearing, and all of them are handsome. Even if they are the housekeepers of a rich family, their image is justified.Indeed, it does not look like the brothel Chuguan in the stereotype, and Mu Yuan also feels that he has less knowledge.

Yan Yu led the two of them to the busiest building in the alley, and from a distance, they could see the three big characters "Baiyulou" with lights on the plaque in front of the building.

This building is not necessarily more luxurious or special than other surrounding buildings, and it is even relatively simple, but it is full of people. Most of the visitors in this alley go to this building.Mu Yuan couldn't help but be a little curious about what this "big event" is like once a month.

In front of the Baiyu Building, there are two doormen standing next to the steward who welcomes guests, holding a large wooden plate in each hand. Every guest who enters the door consciously puts a silver ingot of about ten taels or other property of equivalent value on it. , which is different from other buildings.Although Mu Yuan didn't understand what it meant, he still signaled Tian Yuan to put three ingots of silver.

Yan Yu was about to stop him: "Teacher, the students brought you here, students come and give it."

Mu Yuan pushed lightly: "It's pointless to fight on this matter." Then he asked, "But are the rules here different from other places?"

Yan Yu also changed the subject: "It's not true, it's just different today, it's just this time in a month."

"But because of that 'big event'."

"good."

The three of them entered the building while talking.The huge hall was already full of people, and there were not many empty seats left. The little boy who ushered in the guests managed to find them a small table in the corner.

Compared with the simplicity and simplicity of the exterior, the decoration here has the momentum of the first floor of Baitiwuxiang.The hall on the first floor is quite large, there is room for dozens of small tables, and a carved ladder in the middle winds its way up to the second floor.The floor on the first floor is quite high, and there is a big stage extending from the ladder on the second floor. The stage is only half a person high from the ground, and there is no obstruction around. You can clearly see the scene on the stage when you sit on the first floor , is quite ingeniously designed.

At the moment there are only a few musicians on the stage, playing soothing music, not many people are listening carefully, most of those who are sitting or standing are talking with fellow comers or acquaintances they met only after entering the building .

The atmosphere in the lobby is very warm, which sets off the coldness of the musicians on the stage, and the three vertically hanging chessboards are particularly conspicuous.

Before Mu Yuan could ask, Yan Yu had already said, "Teacher, can you see the three chessboards on the stage?"

"En." Mu Yuan responded.

"The teacher must have guessed that tonight's 'big event' must be related to this chessboard. As for the chess masters in the capital, apart from the chess office in the Imperial Academy of the Imperial City, and the chess buildings in Ninghuafang, It's the Baiyulou that gathers the most once a month."

Tian Yuan couldn't help asking: "Then is this a brothel or a chess building? Everyone spends so much money not to see the girl, but to see the master? This master only comes once a month? Why? Can the chess building invite you, but this flower building can invite you?"

Yan Yu pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Tianyuan has got the point. Of course everyone spent so much money to see the girl and the master. It's not that the master only comes once a month, but Except for today, if you want to meet this master on weekdays, and even want to ask for a round, you will spend no less than a hundred gold."

Tian Yuan swallowed his saliva, and repeated with some difficulty: "Hundred...gold...!" He said in a low voice, "How much silver would that be!"

Obviously his voice was not low enough, so Yan Yu smiled: "It's only a thousand taels. There are many rich people in Beijing, and there are many people who spend a lot of money to win a smile, or spend a lot of money to find a master, let alone a hundred gold .Not to mention that beauties have special features, not to mention that masters have never been defeated."

"Undefeated? So powerful?" Tian Yuan couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that he hasn't met a real master?"

"Brother Tianyuan's words are wrong." Yan Yu said, "You must know that I am good at playing chess, and I am even better at playing chess. Beijing is especially a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. The so-called Wenwu is the first and Wuwu is the second, and this chess forest also pays attention to it. A famous chess master who can stand in Beijing for three years without losing a single game is by no means an easy person."

"Even the chess masters in the Imperial Academy are not opponents?"

"There were no less than ten chess players who were waiting for the edict to come and challenge them, and they all fell here."

"It's so powerful, isn't it No.1?!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Yan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Cheng Shiyuan, who is generally recognized as the most skilled chess player in the waiting room, and Chief Liu, have never fought against each other."

"But why?"

Yan Yu smiled and explained: "Chairman Liu is old, he is about to die, and his physical strength has declined in all aspects. In recent years, except for today's special moves, he has rarely fought against people with all his strength, and he will not come here. Wuxiang. As for Cheng Daizhao, he is young and vigorous, and also a romantic talent, but for some reason he has never made a move here. Some people say that probably Cheng Daizhao's confidante, Miss Hong Ling, is one of the top names in this Baiyulou. He has always been on good terms with Miss Luyi, so naturally there is no need to risk a fight to get close to the beauty. No matter whether he wins or loses, it will not benefit Cheng Daizhao's current reputation. However, many people are curious about what Cheng Daizhao will do if he makes a move. What will happen to the winner or loser? There are even some people who secretly placed bets, but there is still no conclusion yet.

"Besides the imperial edict office, there are also a few masters who are idle and wild cranes in Beijing. It's just that they are not as old as Chief Liu and their chess skills are not as good as before; There is no benefit in winning or losing a battle."

"So that's the case. Then, why do these people here spend so much money to gather here today?"

"Brother Tianyuan, you really don't know how hungry you are when you're full." Yan Yu smiled, "Brother, with a teacher like a first-class master of Yizhong who guides you day and night, naturally you don't know how valuable it is to fight against a master. .How many people want to lose a thousand dollars, and tonight only need a mere ten taels of silver. It is extremely cost-effective to see both masters and beauties. If you accidentally win a son and a half son, you will become famous all over the world in one battle."

Tian Yuan suddenly realized: "So Junior Brother Yu brought Teacher here, is that the intention?"

Yan Yu pursed his lips and smiled, as a tacit consent.

Tianyuan Yile, he naturally never worried about the teacher's chess strength.Now that the teacher has just arrived in the capital and is unknown, this is a good way to open up the situation, and he immediately puts the resentment that Yan Yu brought them to Liuxiang, Huajie, to the back of his mind.

After thinking about it, I felt a little puzzled: "No, there are so many people in this building, if everyone came here with such a purpose, wouldn't the masters have to fight one by one?"

"Of course not." Yan Yu explained, "The entry fee of ten taels of silver is just to win a chance. If you want to win a battle with a master, the first thing is to have luck. If you don't have luck, you can afford the money. There is still a chance.”

"How do you say that?"

Yan Yu stopped talking: "It's about to start, Senior Brother Tian Yuan, why don't you take a look first?"

Sure enough, there were no empty seats on the field, and there were still many people standing around the stage.At this moment, the musicians on the stage have withdrawn, except for the three big chessboards, there is only one guqin and one drum left on the stage.

The noisy voices around him all quieted down, everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, and someone's face showed anticipation and excitement.

Soon, more than a dozen brightly dressed young girls filed out and danced gracefully on the stage.

After dancing to a song, the whole hall won applause, and the girls scattered on the stage, faintly surrounding the piano and drums.

The field held its breath again, and after a few breaths, two stunning women stepped out, and everyone felt their eyes light up a bit.If the dozen or so girls before were as beautiful as spring flowers, these two were roses in full bloom, and Mu Yuan couldn't help but think of the description in "The Book of Songs" that "be as bright as spring flowers, as bright as autumn moons".

It really is a beauty with a special color!

The two girls blessed everyone on the stage, and the woman in the water-green dress went straight to the piano. After she sat down, her slender catkins flicked on the strings, and a series of moving melodies flowed out. out.The woman in scarlet clothes stood still in Taichung, and when the first note was released, her figure danced along with it.

The sound of the piano was low and gentle at the beginning, but gradually became high-spirited, and the dancing posture also changed from soft to strong with the music.For a moment, the music urged the dancing posture, and the dancing posture and the music complemented each other.

In fact, Mu Yuan doesn't know the piano or dance, but he just thinks the song sounds good, and the dance is also good.

When the dance is in full swing, the dancer does not know when he has danced to the drum, and three drumsticks appear in his hands inexplicably.

Even this one dance is worth the fare.

Yan Yu suddenly pushed Tian Yuan, who was already fascinated, and said urgently in a low voice: "Brother Tian Yuan, remember later, go grab that drumstick."
