86. Expenses are only second
Inciting Emperor Xu to launch a war?
This is definitely not what Chen Lang wants to do. He shook his head: "War is not a joke."
Xiang Qinglan made a comment: "The so-called great things are not limited to the details. Your Highness thinks about it. If you can take this opportunity to make Xu and Jiang fight, then Xu will definitely have no time to take care of Your Highness and Liang..."
"Forget it." Chen Lang interrupted Qinglan's suggestion, "At the time when Liang and Xu were warriors for years, the people were suffering. The king and the prince of Xu did not hesitate to go to danger to stop the protracted war. Should we abandon our original intention now and let the people fall into the vortex of war again?"
Xiang Qinglan sighed: "Oh, good medicine is good for diseases, and honest words are good for actions. Your Highness is still too young. There is an old saying that one general can achieve success and thousands of bones are dry, let alone the emperors fight each other?"
Chen Lang frowned with sword eyebrows: "What the senior said is definitely correct. But the situation is not clear yet. Moreover, the basic goal of this king at this stage is to hoard enough self-protection. If you can get stable in five years, why not do it?"
Xiang Qinglan's face was cold:
"It won't take long to leave Your Highness and go to Liang Kingdom. So I have to tell Your Highness about something now. I think Your Highness should remember that I deliberately avoided it at the beginning, because the reason is that Your Highness will do great things in the future, and I am unwilling to take the risk of getting involved. So please know that the future is destined to be surging, so be sure to prepare mentally early."
Chen Lang nodded vigorously when he heard this: "I must keep my heart in mind the words of my predecessors. However, I should keep a low profile about the dispute between Xu and Jiang. In fact, everyone understands that Xu will definitely not give up this time, regardless of whether I make any suggestions."
After saying that, Chen Lang turned his head to look at Hong Xiu’s wife and children on the bed. From a certain perspective, Chen Lang’s mentality was somewhat similar to that of Hong Xiu when he refused to confess.
Hong Xiu knew that the probability of King Huaying of Jiang Guoping Nan was very small, but he still held a glimmer of hope. Chen Lang also knew that Emperor Liang would definitely kill him in the future, but he still hoped to avoid war.
Is it contradictory? That's true.
Chen Lang bit his lip and silently recited the list of enemies in his heart to enhance his belief in moving forward bravely.
[Emperor Liang, the true prince, Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Wang, Zhang Yan, Xian Mobai, Mysterious Guest]
There were originally nine people on this list, but later Yin Baichuan and Zhong Ping who followed Chen Lang to the mission to Liang State were excluded. There are now seven people left. Among the seven people, there is a mysterious guest. Chen Lang vaguely felt that this person might be more dangerous than anyone else.
If conditions permit, Chen Lang will use his golden finger to test it one by one, use the elimination method to find the hidden darkness, and know the secret of the prince exchanging secrets.
When Chen Lang lifted his hair, he deliberately exposed a red scar on his left forehead. This scar represents hatred and shame. Although the poison that penetrated from the scar has been eliminated, the hatred that Chen Lang had formed with those people cannot be removed.
"Your Highness." Xiang Qinglan suddenly murmured.
"What are you?" Chen Lang heard Xiang Qinglan's tone a little unnatural.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will take my women and children to Liang Kingdom tomorrow. I'm afraid I will have a long time to go there, and I can only communicate through letters or verbal messages, and I will not see Your Highness." Xiang Qinglan's voice became weaker and weaker.
What did this guy say?
It sounds like there is something unspeakable, so I chose to go around the corner. Chen Lang shrugged and said carelessly: "It requires a fee. No problem, this aspect must be arranged."
Yes ~
Xiang Qinglan agreed while shook his head, but saw his eyes hanging down to the ground, and he spoke for a long time: "Your Highness, look at me, I have to leave immediately. How about taking advantage of the gentle moonlight tonight, how about taking me free and easy?"
"Okay, where do you want to be so casual?" Chen Lang asked casually.
"Isn't the Jiaofangsi next to this? I have been there for many years and have not visited it." Xiang Qinglan answered in an extremely slight voice.
...
Stepping on the moonlight, Chen Lang and Xiang Qinglan came to the bustling intersection. The place was brightly lit and crowded, and pleasant singing sounds came from time to time in my ears, and sometimes there were coquettish calls: "Master, come in and play."
uncle?
It always sounds a little strange. Chen Lang raised his eyebrows and walked towards the depths of the Jiaofangsi with Xiang Qinglan.
Looking around, almost all the buildings on both sides of the road are two-story structures, with exquisite appearance designs. The second floor is either a spacious corridor or an empty window.
Every time the business hours are open, there will always be beautiful women standing in groups in spacious corridors, or sitting in front of the open windows, occasionally lovingly, and occasionally holding a pipa to cover their faces.
All the individual buildings in the Jiaofangsi are independent business units, with red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the red lanterns reflecting various plaques.
——The sky and earth are full of flowers, the moon is full, the fragrance pavilion, the Lichun courtyard, and the Zuihua Building. If you look at it one by one, it will be dazzled.
Compared with all kinds of brothels, the guests who come to play tonight are also of all kinds. However, the combination of Chen Lang and Xiang Qinglan, the old and young, is definitely unique.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Because it is different, the madams greeted them along the way were particularly enthusiastic about them. Some madams even covered their mouths and whispered to others: "This is the first time that grandpa has brought his grandson to teach Fangsi."
"Wrong, he took me." Xiang Qinglan said with a smile.
Bah ~
Chen Lang glanced at the corner of his mouth and always felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiang Qinglan gently pushed a certain madam away, then turned his head and asked Chen Lang: "Where are we going?"
Chen Lang casually said: "You choose, go wherever you want."
Xiang Qinglan seemed to have been waiting for Chen Lang's words for a long time, and he answered impatiently: "Go to the central intersection."
"Okay." Chen Lang nodded.
According to the layout structure of Xu Guojiaofangsi, the central crossroads are set as the most erotic and luxurious place. Xiang Qinglan will set off tomorrow, so he should enjoy it tonight. What's more, Chen Lang himself also wants to watch.
After determining the target, the two of them walked briskly. Not long after, they arrived at the crossroads.
As expected, it was even more prosperous here, with the lights illuminating the night, and even the faint sounds heard were more pleasant than on the road when I came.
"It's so good." Xiang Qinglan's face showed a blurred look.
"Please choose a place and choose the best one." Chen Lang smiled. He practiced it for Xiang Qinglan, so he must not be stingy.
In fact, if you really want to distinguish between high and low, Xu Guojiao Fangsi cannot rank among the top three in this world. Of course, Chen Lang has never heard of this ranking yet, and Chen Lang has no standards in his heart.
Looking around Qinglan, he quickly walked to a courtyard.
"Yingshuitang."
Chen Lang mumbled the three words on the plaque, then walked a few steps to catch up with Xiang Qinglan. Before the two walked into the gate, they were blocked by a strong man. The strong man said coldly: "It's full today."
