Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 301: An empty street with one person
By the fourth day, an anecdote was already circulating in the streets.
That was an alchemist with a strange personality coming from the Privy Council. He spends a lot of time every day among the brothel and incense workshops. At the same time, the number of women patronizing is amazing, and he needs to order dozens of them at a time. In order to entertain this distinguished guest, the normal business of some brothels was affected, so that when the door was opened, other guests could not find free girls.
This is simply a crude act rejected by everyone!
It is understandable that high-ranking officials and high-profile businessmen are a bit different from ordinary people's hobbies. They at least keep their doors closed to entertain themselves, how can they be so blatant like this person. The key is that although his girl ordered a lot, she seldom shows any mercy to someone. There are often as many people when they enter the wing, and how many people when they come out, as if there has never been a woman who could get his love. The practice is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
There are even rumors in the streets and alleys that the benefactor wants to boycott this person collectively.
The brothel is another attitude.
Most well-informed old bustards already know about Xia Fan's style, and if they don't want to offend the Privy Council, sending one or two girls away is an acceptable price. As a result, when Xia Fan arrived at the door of the brothel, the store had already summoned the girl to the room in advance to wait.
Since you can't avoid it, it's better to let him finish it earlier, so as not to delay the rest of the business. This is also the consensus of most stores.
Some old bustards even prepare a few newcomers with strong resistance and disobedience, or old girls who don't care about them, and send them directly to Xia Fan in order to avoid being poached. The generous redemption fee is directly waived, in order to be able to give personal affection to the Privy Council.
Xia Fan is naturally happy to see it happen.
Anyway, he will not be the one who will return the favor at that time.
"Today's presentation...it's not right. Let's talk about the recruitment of talents. If you are interested in going to Jinxia City, you can come to me to talk in detail."
"Thank you for your kindness." The girls also got up and saluted, and then filed out.
"It's over?" Fang Xiandao poked his head out of the back room.
"Well, the next step is to sign a tripartite agreement."
"Three parties...what?" Fang Xiandao frowned slightly, but soon he was relieved, "Forget it, tomorrow is Grand Ceremony Day, we will be back to Jinxia soon."
"Indeed." Xia Fan walked to the window and pushed open the sash. A cold wind suddenly poured into the room. Although it was a bit cool, it also dissipated the strong powdery smell in the room.
At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the red lanterns on the street are lit up one by one, looking like two rows of neat gratings from a distance. The direction of the imperial palace is even brighter. The flaming torch on the front of the city outlines the outline of the palace and illuminates the nearby stone streets. As far as the night scene is concerned, in the era of no electricity, the bright image of Shangyuan City is indeed It is worthy of the name of Qiguo Dadu.
For the residents of the city, the crown prince’s enthronement is undoubtedly a life-long event worth remembering, but they would not expect that this is just the beginning of another earth-shattering change, and the new emperor is just a footnote to the drastic change.
Of course, what kind of shock and change will Gyeonggi bring to Gyeonggi after the news is released is not a question Xia Fan needs to worry about. During the period of coming to Shangyuan, he not only obtained a lot of information, secret records of spells, and drawings of magical instruments from the Privy Council, but also poached more than a dozen enlightenment teachers who were well-educated and could be employed immediately with a little training. It has been quite rewarding. When the ceremony is over, he will make a request for returning home for the New Year, which is completely reasonable.
In fact, even if he left without saying goodbye, the Privy Council would not be able to respond in time-the news of the unity of the six countries will definitely hit the ruling and the opposition. With the visit and reception of the Seven Star Alchemists, it is not easy for them to stabilize in Gyeonggi. Have time to pay attention to Yancheng, Shenzhou, thousands of miles away.
As Fang Xiandao said, the day of the return journey is coming.
"But today's night is really a bit deserted." Fang Xiandao said with emotion, "It's obviously the time for welcoming guests in the brothel, but you can't see a few people on the street—could it be that everyone knows that you are coming, so avoid This brothel?"
"It sounds like I'm like a disaster star." Xia Fan sneered, "Why didn't I see them avoiding yesterday? There are even people who want to come to find fault."
"It wasn't you who beat that guy too hard to make everyone scared."
"That wouldn't mean that there weren't even a single guest..." Xia Fan's voice suddenly lowered, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
This street is not only a brothel, but a wine shop and a small inn can be seen farther away. But at a distance of two to three hundred meters, even a moving figure cannot be seen, as if the city is still under a curfew. And Xia Fan remembers that when he first arrived in this brothel, there were still many pedestrians on the street, and the lanterns were not lit-in other words, if there is news to make regular visitors reach an agreement, because of his relationship, he decided to find another pleasure. So, it's impossible for the residents on the street not to know this. Then why do they hang out the lantern deliberately?
"When is it now?"
"Qu Shisi has just passed." Fang Xiandao thought for a while and replied.
"Other places may not be surprising, but at this point in time, Shangyuan City shouldn't any street be deserted so far?" Xia Fan questioned.
"It's a bit weird." Fang Xiandao also reacted. He took out a jade the size of a fingernail, as if he wanted to figure it out. At this time, there were also rapid footsteps outside the door.
A servant walked into the room out of breath, with a look of horror in his eyes. He saw the two of them and immediately handed over a note, "Master Xia, someone asked me to give this to you! Please spare my life!"
Xia Fan and Fang Xiandao looked at each other, took the note and opened it.
Only a few sentences above.
"Leave the attic immediately."
"Go out by the south side door, don't enter the main street, act now!"
"This person in front of you, just let him go to the wood shed and wait."
What's the situation?
Xia Fan stared at the servant and asked, "Who is it that asked you to deliver the letter?"
"My lord, my lord, I don't know. He is wearing an alchemist robe and has a hood on his head. I, I can't see what he looks like."
"Alchemist robe?" Fang Xiandao said in surprise, "Do you have any such relationship in the Privy Council of Gyeonggi?"
This is undoubtedly a warning message ~ IndoMTL.com~ plus the abnormal anomaly outside the street, the timing of its appearance is indeed intriguing. But in the same way, it may also lead the two to a preset trap.
A green sword flashed in Xia Fan's mind.
"Can you run divination and account for it?"
"Of course not!" Fang Xiandao said it was an insult. "Fortunetelling requires concentration and dedication to get a reliable result. I didn't ask for a bath and incense to have a talented person."
"Then do as stated on the note first." Xia Fan said decisively, "If it is a trap, you'd better prepare for the combat alchemy you are best at."
Then he looked at his servant, "Can I go directly to the South Wall here?"
"Yes, yes. Go downstairs and cross the courtyard, then walk the stone bridge on the left to cross the garden, then turn left, and go straight to the south end." The latter said tremblingly.
"Okay, you can go to the wood shed to stay, there is nothing to do with you here." Xia Fan winked at Fang Xian, and walked downstairs first.
