"Then why did you show up at Luo Xing Residence later?" Haotian opened his mouth and asked.
"To be honest, Luoxingju is actually the property of our demon girl clan." Xin Jiao paused and said, "The women in our clan are either abandoned babies picked up from all over the country, or they are poor women in brothels. These people are big
Most of them have no ability to work. Although the reputation of brothels is dirty, the money comes in very quickly. Master, we have to maintain all the expenses of the clan and provide disaster relief secretly. Our daily expenses are actually very large, so opening a brothel is actually a good idea.
There is nothing we can do about it. The boss of Luo Xing Ju, Mrs. Huarui, is actually the core disciple of our witch clan. At that time, I was just sitting in Luo Xing Ju, but I didn’t expect to be so praised by those literati. My lord, although
We were running a brothel, but we, the witches, were definitely not as dirty as other brothels. There were six major brothels in the world at that time, including Luoxingju in Tiandu Shengjing, Jiangnanzhai in Jiangzhou City, and Mingtangwudu in Linzhou.
It’s our property, but have you ever heard of any cases of girls being forced into prostitution in these three brothels?”
Xue Qingcheng nodded and said: "I also know something about it when I travel around the world. These three brothels have a good reputation in the local area. Although the sour scholars talk a lot about them, the literati are quite fond of them.
Moreover, they secretly distribute food to provide disaster relief from time to time, and ordinary people do not hate and despise them as much as ordinary brothels."
Haotian asked in confusion: "Why are you still providing disaster relief in secret?"
Xin Jiao smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, if you heard that the brothel was actually releasing food for disaster relief, would you go and get it?"
When Haotian heard this, he suddenly became speechless. But he then said with relief: "This has all passed. In fact, since brothels exist, there is a reason for their existence. As long as they do not traffic people secretly, do not force girls into prostitution, and abide by the law,
That's not a bad thing. Jiao, if you want to be the madam of one of your three major brothels, you might as well marry me into the river."
Xin Jiao's eyes were red and his nose was a little sour as he said: "Master, there is not a single clean spot on my body, and even when I was in Luo Xing Residence, I was not spotless. Besides, I am already over sixty years old.
Well, my identity was revealed again that night. If I follow you, my lord, it will damage your reputation."
"Didn't I already say that as long as your heart is clean, I don't care about anything. Besides, those are things in the past. Didn't you meet me at that time? Hey, I suddenly remembered
Well, you were the one who saved me that time at the river crossing. I didn’t expect my charm to be so great. Just after meeting me once in Luo Xingju, you fell in love with me wholeheartedly." Haotian said with a smile.
Xin Jiao's face turned red: "Who is so determined? At that time, I just thought you were a pretty good person, so I saved your life."
Haotian said nonchalantly: "Of course I am a good person, otherwise why would you follow me? Don't worry, since I am your husband, I will help you with big things. Look, Liu
Aren't Yan and Yancai also from your Luo Xing residence? Since Du Shuai and the military advisor both have such courage, am I, the lord, still not as good as them?"
Xin Jiao said nonchalantly: "My lord, actually Yancai and Liu Yan are both members of our witch clan."
"Ah?" Haotian couldn't help but laugh, but the laughter affected the wounds on his chest and abdomen, and there was a sharp pain. He quickly stopped smiling, and then Haotian said: "Isn't it okay? Uh, this matter is still a matter of course for the time being.
If you don't tell them, let's wait for Yancai and Liu Yan to tell them personally. Oh, by the way, since your tribe's settlement is in the Drunken Swamp, then Dugu was able to successfully pass through the Drunken Swamp that time because of your contribution.
Bar."
Xin Jiao nodded and said honestly: "That time I just asked our tribe to help lead the way, but even without our help, Du Shuai will definitely be able to pass through the Drowning Swamp. Before my tribe goes out,
Du Shuai actually has enough calculations."
After a moment of silence, Haotian said to Xue Qingcheng and Xin Jiao: "I originally thought that I would be able to return to Hetao in two months, but now it seems that I don't know when. After returning this time,
We can no longer put off what needs to be done. I have already told my husband and Uncle Chu that as soon as I return to Hetao, I will get married to you guys. You have been with me for so long. If you don’t even have a title,
I feel very sorry for you."
Xue Qingcheng's face suddenly felt excited, but looking at the smile on Haotian's face, she realized that she should have been more quiet in this matter, so she quickly stopped her smile. And Xin Jiao's
His head hung down.
Haotian couldn't help but said: "Jiao, don't say anything more about this matter, just let me make the decision. Just wait, I will give each of you a title when we return to Hetao. Lianchen, please let Mr.
Come over here with the military advisor, I have something to ask them."
Luo Xiang and Xuanji didn't know what happened to Haotian. As soon as they opened the curtain and got into the carriage, they saw Xin Jiao and Xue Qingcheng sitting next to Haotian. Although Haotian's face was still pale without a trace of blood.
, but there is a bit more sparkle in his eyes. It is obvious that Xin Jiao's daily luck healing these days is still very effective.
"This subordinate has met my lord, Mistress Qingcheng." The two said in unison.
Haotian was waving his hand for the two of them to sit down. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said, "There is also Xin Jiao."
Xin Jiao's face turned red, while Luo Xiang and Xuanji were both stunned. However, their psychological qualities were not particularly strong, so they said respectfully: "I have seen Mistress Xin Jiao."
When Haotian said this, he obviously recognized Xin Jiao's status. Xin Jiao did not object, which only meant that Xin Jiao had confessed her experience to Haotian. Luo Xiang couldn't help but feel a little strange. He said to Xin Jiao
After so long, Xin Jiao didn't agree. What method did Haotian use to get Xin Jiao to agree in such a short time.
Haotian was far more concerned about the battle situation than anything else. He said straight to the point: "Now we are withdrawing our troops, but I always feel that Cassimbas will not be so simple. Let me first talk about the current specific situation and your views on the battle situation."
"Except for Uncle Weiyuan Wangtang, the 70,000 soldiers stationed in Danzhou led by Zhang Keliang, the patriarch of the Zhang family, there is no regular soldier in the Huai River area. The most elite Yellow Turban Army in Huai River has been stationed in the Holy Capital of Tiandu to prevent the four great names of Bliss
will attack Tiandu Shengjing. The 70,000 Qinchuan and Huai River naval divisions led by Li Fengcheng have returned to defend Huai River to prevent the Holy Sect of Paradise from taking advantage of the navy to transport troops on a large scale. However, in this way, He Shuai defended
The Dahe defense line is much weaker. The most critical thing is His Majesty. His Majesty leads more than 200,000 troops from the three major armies of Qinglong, Imperial Guard and the North. They are resisting Cassimbas’ 300,000 Northeast troops in Xuzhou.
Allied forces. Although Tie Shuai relied on the geographical advantage to cause a lot of trouble to Cassimbas, after all, Cassimbas had the advantage in strength, and the individual combat capabilities of the Northeastern coalition were also stronger than the empire's 200,000 troops. Therefore,
The situation at Your Majesty's place is not optimistic." Xuanji said honestly.
The Huai River originates from the Hanzhou area at the southern foot of the Yinfeng Mountains on Qinchuan Road. It flows from west to east through Tiandu Shengjing. After reaching Yangzhou Road, it suddenly turns due south, and then merges into the Dajiang River in the Shouzhou area of Huai River Road. Datang
In the imperial era, in order to connect the big rivers with the big rivers, Ter built two large canals between the Huai River and the big rivers, relying on the original river channels, namely Jishui in the east and Luoshui in the west. The Qingfeng Empire made its capital Tian
After Dushengjing was established, the Huai River was turned into the moat of Tiandushengjing. Therefore, Qingfeng Shui Master still has a lot of room for development in this area.
After being attacked by Cassimbas, the number of combatants in the Guards Corps dropped to less than 70,000, while the number of combatants in the Azure Dragon Corps was reduced to 50,000. Although the two legions are also veteran legions of the empire, after losing so much strength, regardless of
Both combat effectiveness and morale have been greatly reduced. Coupled with a northern legion that has almost never been on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the heroic emperor's 200,000-strong army is really worrying.
Haotian asked curiously: "Isn't there a Suzaku Legion in Tiandu Shengjing? Plus the Imperial Guards and the private soldiers of the nobles, there must be an army of 140,000 to 50,000 people. The army of Zhu Zhao and the others is only 300,000.
With the intact defenses of Tiandu Shengjing, even if they fight for a year, they probably won't be able to capture it. Besides, isn't Zhu Zhao fighting with the Qinchuan Li family's 200,000-strong army? King Weiyuan left his Huai
Why does Shui go to Tiandu Shengjing?"
"My lord, I don't know. Originally, Zhu Zhao's 300,000-strong army fought against the Qinchuan army in Fanshan County, but after Cassimbas mobilized across the board, Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng had already led an army of 200,000 to march westward, preparing to
He and Zhu Zhao surrounded the 200,000-strong army of the Li family. In desperation, Li Tieming had already moved towards the Holy Capital of Heaven two days ago. However, the 200,000-strong army of Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng kept biting the Li family, so
, Zhu Zhao's 300,000 troops were freed. Zhu Zhao and others were all famous generals. Although Tiandu Shengjing had complete defenses, the morale of the defenders in the city was low. No one could guarantee that they could definitely stop Zhu Zhao.
Zhao Zhao's attack. As for King Weiyuan, if the Holy Capital of Tiandu falls, then Huai River will certainly not be spared. And although he has given up the defense of Huai River now, Danzhou, the capital of Huai River, is still in the hands of Zhang Keliang, and
The Holy Sect of Paradise has now withdrawn all its military forces. Although there are no troops stationed in Pingzhou and Binzhou, the Holy Sect of Paradise cannot spare any mobile troops." Luo Xiang nodded approvingly and said: "King Weiyuan is quite good.
Those who have strategic vision can at least draw their elite troops out of their own territory and give up the safety of their families to take care of the overall situation. It is not something ordinary people can do."
