Yonghefang, Peiyu Pavilion.

In the afternoon, Pei Yue, dressed in casual clothes, came here escorted by fourteen soldiers.

Among the dozens of brothels in the square, Peiyu Pavilion has never been the most famous. Not only is it not as good as Qiujiang Pavilion, which has the exclusive Furong Banquet, but it is also not as good as Yuanzhang Pavilion and Jinsu Yuan, which are the favorite places for literati. Among the nine brothels,

, Duan Yuzhu accounted for the word "dance", and he was the best in this skill, but compared with the chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, he seemed to lack a bit of literary spirit, and his appearance was not outstanding among the nine oirans.

But when Pei Yue stepped into Peiyu Pavilion, he quickly discovered the difference here.

The third entrance building is open and grand, without water pavilions and pavilions, and the decorations on the corridors are also very simple.

This place doesn't look like a brothel, but more like a military commander's residence.

When he met Duan Qingqing, the madam of Peiyu Pavilion, who was about thirty years old, Pei Yue became even more interesting.

His appearance could be called ordinary in a place like a brothel, but his eyebrows were full of heroism, and there was no trace of the flattering smile of a brothel madam.

"Duan Qingqing, the head of Peiyu Pavilion, please send your regards, Lord Pei."

"No need."

"Your Majesty, Yu Zhu is already waiting for you at Yashe. Please move over, Sir."

"Lead the way."

"yes."

The exchange between the two was quite interesting, very similar to the style of marchers. Deng Zai and others who followed behind looked surprised. Although they were curious, no one looked around, let alone whispered to each other. Thirty-six soldiers

They are all from Green Willow Village

The family had children, and those who had been with Pei Yue for the shortest period of time were only a year and a half. They had excellent food, clothing, housing and transportation, and generous salaries. However, the training was extremely hard and the rules were strict. Especially Deng Zai led by example, and no one dared to make mistakes.

Duan Qingqing, who was leading the way, felt that there was silence behind him, and the footsteps of more than ten people were as neat as one person. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He quickly glanced at Pei Yue from the corner of his eyes, and his understanding of this young powerful man deepened.

a bit.

After passing through the atrium and arriving at the second entrance to the building, Duan Qingqing stopped and bowed: "Sire, in front of you is the elegant apartment."

Pei Yue looked at her with interest and asked: "Master Duan, do you usually behave like this?"

Duan Qingqing understood the implication of his words, and suddenly put on a very charming smile, and said crisply: "The Lord is joking, if you are normal, you will naturally do as the Romans do. It's not that I want to show off, I'll leave the details to Yu Zhu.

explain."

Pei Yue understood that Duan Qingqing had to pretend to be a brothel madam, but she didn't have to hide it in front of him. Coupled with Yu Zhu's bold warning during the Lotus Banquet, he had a vague idea in his mind.

He smiled and nodded at Duan Qingqing, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Let Chief Duan find you a place to drink tea and rest."

"yes!"

Duan Qingqing turned sideways and stretched out her hand: "Everyone, please follow me."

When Pei Yue walked into the elegant apartment next to the main building, Duan Yuzhu was already waiting respectfully inside the door.

To be fair, the appearance of this dancing courtesan is not stunning. In addition, Pei Yue has seen the faces of Gu Zhen and Ye Qi, and has had a close relationship with Lin Shuyue, who is both beautiful and talented, so his horizons are naturally much higher.

but

At this moment, looking at the slender and graceful Duan Yuzhu, especially the majestic and heroic look on her face that seems to be carved out of the same mold as Duan Qingqing, I can't help but sigh that Lingzhou's name is well-deserved, and it is indeed a place of outstanding people and places.

"Sir, I thought it would take some time for you to come." Compared with Duan Qingqing, Duan Yuzhu's tone was a little less respectful, but more intimate.

"Why?" Pei Yue asked with a smile.

"Sister Lin is so stunning. If Yu Zhu and the Duke were allowed to live together in a different place, I'm afraid they would have ignored the worldly affairs." Duan Yuzhu winked at him and said humorously.

There is a window on the east wall of the elegant house, and green bamboo can be seen swaying outside the window.

There was a low couch under the window. After Duan Yuzhu asked Pei Yue to sit down, he personally helped him make tea. There was no maid to serve him here.

Pei Yue took the initiative to take the tea cup, and then asked straight to the point: "Are you from Xifu?"

Just now he had several guesses in his mind. At first he thought that Peiyu Pavilion was the outpost of Taishitai Pavilion in Lingzhou, but later he thought about it and felt that Silent Cloud might not be so kind to him.

Duan Yuzhu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Peiyu Pavilion has nothing to do with the court. It is the Marquis's own property."

Mr. Hou?

Pei Yue was slightly startled, then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gu's hand was stretched too long."

If he remembered correctly, Gu Liang started from the southern frontier army, and was finally transferred from the position of commander of Nanjing Zhennan Camp to the commander of Beijing Army Nan Camp. At the beginning of last year, he rushed to Chengjing and took charge of Chengjing Camp Control. From the beginning to the end, he He has never served in the Western Army, which is slightly inferior to Lu Min, the Marquis of Cheng'an.

Duan Yuzhu obviously knew the relationship between Pei Yue and the Gu family, so after hearing Pei Yue's teasing, he just smiled and continued: "Master Hou has never thought about this before, but five years ago, the third young master came to the Western Army to practice , the Marquis sent someone to buy this Peiyu Pavilion. In fact, we are just collecting information here. The focus is to pay attention to the situation of the Third Young Master and report it to the Marquis in time. "

The third young man of the Gu family is named Gu Mang, who is two years older than Gu Fan. According to the custom in Daliang, he should be twenty-one years old this year.

The four sons of the Gu family, the eldest son and the second son, are all married, and their families are all at the southern border. Gu Mang and Gu Fan are not married yet. The former is now the commander of the Western Army, commanding 2,500 elite cavalry. .

Pei Yue chatted a little about Gu Mang's current situation, and then said with emotion: "I thought about many possibilities when you warned me at the Furong Banquet, but I never thought that you were Uncle Gu's people."

Duan Yuzhu said respectfully: "A month ago, the Marquis sent someone to send a secret order, saying that the Lord was coming to Lingzhou to do something, and ordered Peiyu Pavilion to do his best to help. After the Lord entered the city, he lived in seclusion in the imperial envoy's office, and Yu Zhu couldn't do it rashly. Come to the door. Later, Sister Lin came forward and others agreed, insisting that the Lord come to the Furong Banquet. Yu Zhu guessed that something was fishy, ​​so he could only act recklessly at that time, and asked the Lord not to be offended. "

Pei Yue said gently: "What kind of words are these? Although I am young, I can't tell the difference between good and evil."

He admired Duan Yuzhu's character very much, and at the same time he could tell from her concise and powerful words that this was indeed Gu Liang's style, which was neat and without any sloppiness.

Duan Yuzhu said with a slight joy: "Actually, that was just me disturbing myself for no reason. With Your Majesty's abilities, I can cope with what happened at the Lotus Banquet. No matter whether it is poetry, martial arts, or officialdom, Your Majesty is very familiar with it, even Sister Qingqing." I am sincerely convinced by you."

Pei Yue waved his hand and said: "They are all from my own family. If you continue to flatter me like this, I almost don't know who my last name is. Yu Zhu, could you please tell me the specific situation of Lingzhou, although I have collected it myself. Some information was obtained, but in the end it was one-sided.”

Duan Yuzhu's face gradually became serious and he said softly: "Lingzhou is very complicated."
