85. Umbrellas are useless, want a house

Chen Lang walked rapidly in the night, jogging again and again without any delay. Occasionally, Chen Lang looked back and forth to make sure no one was following him.

He promised Hong Xiu that he would send Hong Xiu's wife and children to Liang State secretly and change his name to protect him. Now Hong Xiu fulfilled his promise and explained the incident and the manipulator behind the scenes. Since he did it, let's look at Chen Lang next.

According to the information provided by Hong Xiu, Chen Lang temporarily settled Hong Xiu's wife and children near Jiaofangsi. Since there were mixed fish and dragons near Jiaofangsi, it was relatively safe and difficult to attract attention.

As the capital of Xu Guo, Huaining City is considered prosperous. If you want to give a ranking of the most prosperous places, then Jiaofangsi will definitely be on the list.

In the past, Chen Lang had heard of the Qinhuai River, the Eight Hutongs and other bustling and erotic places, but he had never visited them in person. He could only hear the name but not see them. Despite this, Chen Lang did not feel any regrets, because Xu's Jiaofangsi was right in front of him, and it must be no less than the legendary romantic scenes.

Looking at the full moon hanging high in the sky, Chen Lang accelerated his pace. Now the desolate sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from his ears, making people unable to help but feel rippling.

To put it simply, Jiaofangsi is an official brothel directly under the central government, which usually only exists in capitals of various countries. Jiaofangsi does not set any standards for customers in name, but its consumption is very high, which invisibly raises the threshold for customers.

Generally speaking, the main customer base of Jiaofangsi is those high-ranking officials, playboys, nouveau riche, etc. In addition to enjoying themselves, they are also one of the purposes of making friends.

Correspondingly, the staff of the Jiaofangsi were mostly captured by women in the war, female families of scouted officials or merchants, and outstanding practitioners carefully selected from folk brothels.

As the cool breeze blew, Chen Lang looked at the brightly lit Jiaofangsi, then turned around and turned into the alley next to him.

The Jiaofangsi in Huaining City is not a building or a building complex within a wall. In fact, it is composed of two crisscrossing alleys. These two alleys are Jiaofangsi from beginning to end. Each independent building has a famous town house courtesan.

The intersection at the intersection of the two alleys is as lively and prosperous as the Lantern Festival night in the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After pursing his lips, Chen Lang suppressed his heart's desire and strolled in the alley next to the Jiaofangsi. Since it was adjacent to Xuguo Jiaofangsi, there were still many pedestrians walking around at this time, and there were lanterns hanging on both sides of the alley so that it would not be too dark.

Chen Lang soon came to an inconspicuous inn. There were too many inns like this near Jiaofangsi. Just as he raised his foot and crossed the threshold of the inn, Chen Lang saw Xiang Qinglan sitting in the lobby drinking tea at first sight.

At the same time, Xiang Qinglan also saw Chen Lang. When Chen Lang approached, Xiang Qinglan asked in a low voice: "It's important. When Ding Xu informed me of coming here, his face was mysterious."

"There are key tasks. I have been thinking about them for a long time. I can only give them the most suitable one." Chen Lang did not sit down. He walked past Xiang Qinglan and called sign language, indicating Xiang Qinglan to follow him.

"I have decided to go out to follow His Highness, so I am naturally willing to work hard. If there is any use, just talk about it directly." Xiang Qinglan said angrily.

Chen Lang turned his head and asked, "You wandered around with a wine pot before, and I believe you often encountered storms. So, would you choose to hold an umbrella to hide when the storm comes?"

Xiang Qinglan didn't understand what Chen Lang sold in the gourd, so he replied without thinking: "If the storm is too heavy, it's almost the same with an umbrella or not."

"Yes!" Chen Lang nodded slightly, "Whenever a storm comes, it is useless to hold an umbrella. If you want to completely resist the wind and rain, you can only find a house."

"Your Highness is preparing to cultivate his own power on a large scale?" Xiang Qinglan understood what Chen Lang meant.

"That's right, the things we will face in the future are comparable to the most violent storm in the world. For us, everything in Xu State can only be considered an umbrella. If you want to have a reliable house, you have to look at Liang State. So, I hope you can go to Liang State to cultivate power, and all the expenses will be provided by Xu State's various industries." Chen Lang lowered his voice.

"This statement makes sense." Nodded to Qinglan, "Now you go to Liangguo to make a layout, the timing will not be wrong. But you still need to think carefully about what means and method to make a layout."

"Well, take root first, and then take a step forward." Chen Lang suddenly changed his mind, "In addition, when you go to Liang Kingdom, you have to bring the women and children you are about to meet."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Lang raised his hand and knocked on the door of the guest room on the right.

"Dongdong~Dongdongdongdong~Dongdongdongdong~Dongdongdong~"

The rhythm change of knocking on the door is the agreed code. The woman hiding in the room gently caresses the child's face, and then opens the door without hesitation.

Chen Lang and Xiang Qinglan flashed in, and the woman looked out timidly, nervous and restless.

——Hong Xiu’s wife and children. His wife is very ordinary, less than 30 years old, and his son is well-behaved. He just turned five this year. Chen Lang gave a brief introduction to each other and used whispers to inform Xiang Qinglan of all the ins and outs of the ins and outs.

"Don't worry, I have been in Liang State for a long time before. I will find a place to keep you safe." Xiang Qinglan smiled at Hong Xiu's wife and children. "Be safe, we can leave tonight."

"No!" The woman threw out a word very firmly.

"Why? The earlier you leave, the safer it is." Chen Lang said in confusion.

"Tomorrow, my husband is asked to be executed by Caishikou, and I want to see him for the last time." The woman looked sad, "Don't persuade him anymore. I have made up my mind. Even if I will follow my husband tomorrow, I will be willing. If you must leave tonight, then leave me."

this……

Chen Lang was covered in black. He had no choice but to find an excuse to solve the problem, leave the room and slowly take out his golden fingers.

[Front, take Hong Xiu’s wife and daughter to leave tonight; on the contrary, Hong Xiu’s execution will be executed tomorrow]

Ding ~

A brilliant light suddenly flashed through his mind, and the copper plate fell quietly in his palm. Chen Lang looked down and saw that the copper plate was bare.

Since the golden finger chose the opposite side, Chen Lang no longer asked for anything. He told Hong Xiu's wife and children a few more words, and then moved stools with Xiang Qinglan to the corner of the room, and began to plan the specific matters of Liang State.

Hong Xiu’s wife took the child to bed, although it would definitely be difficult to fall asleep tonight.

Speaking of Liang State, Xiang Qinglan is not unfamiliar with him. He has many friends in Liang State, and there are one or two of them worthy of entrusting. Therefore, it should not be difficult to gain a solid foundation in Liang State.

"Before the storm comes, I'll ask you for the major matter of building a house." Chen Lang's eyes were sincere.

"Okay, I will definitely live up to your entrustedness." Xiang Qinglan's eyes drifted, "I wonder if your priest has considered it. In this arson assassination case, Xu Guocheng pointed his finger at Jiang Guo."

Chen Lang nodded: "The commander behind the scenes is Jiang Guoping Nan, and Xu Guo's subsequent actions are probably foreseeable."

Xiang Qinglan suddenly looked cold: "If you have a chance, your highness will find a way to incite Xu Huang to attack Jiang Guo. In this way, when Xu Guo fights Jiang Guo, your highness will gain more freedom and more room for development."
