In the blink of an eye, it is already the third day of July, and the weather is even hotter.
In a flash, Li Zhen has been in Guangzhou for more than half a month.
In the past half month, Li Zhen did not rush to attack Guangzhou. Instead, he made contact with the counties near Guangzhou and isolated the city of Guangzhou. Li Zhen was the governor of Guangzhou appointed by Xianfeng, with the purpose of annihilating the foreigners in Guangzhou. With this banner, Li Zhen deceived the magistrates of other counties without any difficulty and easily gained support.
Food, weapons, clothing, nothing is lacking.
During this period, Bai Gui frequently sent out scouts to find out where Li Zhen was and to fight Li Zhen. However, every time Bai Gui sent out scouts, they were jointly killed by soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion and the Cavalry Company. There is no return, so every time Bai Gui inquires about the situation, he returns in vain, like a blind man groping for an elephant.
Li Zhen's little life was a happy one, but Bai Gui was a little uneasy.
The situation seemed to be unfavorable to him.
At the same time, Bao Ling, Burlong and others also frequently urged Bai Gui to attack and must deal with Li Zhen's army. Under the continuous pressure, Bai Gui almost lost weight, became angry, and had abnormal symptoms in his body. Constipated, Bai Gui could not find Li Zhen. He was disappointed and gradually gave up the encirclement and suppression campaign.
Anyway, Bai Gui stayed in Guangzhou and was not afraid of Li Zhen.
Bai Gui fought passively and opened the city gate, allowing the people to come in and out, and allowing the merchants to come in and out. On the surface, there was no defense. However, this was just a superficial phenomenon. Bai Gui was cautiously on guard, waiting for Li Zhen to appear, hoping to take down the city in one fell swoop. Li Zhen.
It’s the third day of July, and the Chinese Valentine’s Day is getting closer and closer.
The Qixi Festival is a very lively day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet.
Although it is not yet the seventh day of July, businessmen in Guangzhou have already begun preparations.
In the bustling market, bright lanterns were hung up, and various small items for lovers appeared on the stalls. Businessmen traveling around were looking for stalls, hoping to make a small fortune during this period. The entire city of Guangzhou has ushered in an opportunity with unlimited business opportunities.
The governor's Yamen was extremely lively.
Bai Gui had a rare moment of relaxation and was immersed in joy as he watched the concubines in the 21st room in his backyard busy making Kongming lanterns.
During the Chinese Valentine's Day, I can finally take a break.
After nightfall, Guangzhou fell silent.
This kind of silence is only for most ordinary people.
After dark, red lanterns were hung up in the Guangzhou Fireworks Land. Literati and poets were dressed in white shirts, shaking their feather fans, shaking their heads and murmuring words. A gust of breeze blew, and their clothes were fluttering, as if they were banished immortals. , this is the best way for sluts to seduce brothel girls.
Especially as the Chinese Valentine's Day is approaching, girls are looking forward to the appearance of the prince in their dreams, and countless literati and poets have seized the opportunity.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sluts showed off their abilities, hooked up with some of the top girls in the brothel, and had a wanton affair, proving that they were capable both internally and externally.
Three hundred and sixty lines, every line is number one, and the same is true in the land of fireworks.
Shanghai has Yicui Tower, which is famous far and wide, but Shanghai is far behind Guangzhou, especially the size of this fireworks place, which is also in the sky and underground, not on the same level. Guangzhou's fireworks place is a specially formed area The area was bustling with entertainment, and countless men were hanging around.
Huaibi Tower is one of the most outstanding places for romance.
However, there is something unique about this brothel.
Huaibi Tower is different from other brothels in other places. It is a place where literati and elegant people flock to, because all the women in Huaibi Tower are women who are prostitutes rather than prostitutes. They all have special skills, either good at playing the piano or good at playing the piano. Play the flute, or be good at playing the flute, or be good at singing and dancing...
In short, the women there are all elegant.
It is this reason that has prompted countless literati to hang out in it, ranging from sixty-year-old men to sixteen- or seventeen-year-old youths. Of course, one thing is that the women in Huaibilou have elegant bones, and there is another thing that makes men The reason why they stayed there is that Huaibi Tower does not restrict men from seducing women based on their abilities. As long as the women in Huaibi Tower fall in love with each other, what should happen naturally will happen.
However, if the woman from Huaibi Tower doesn't take a fancy to you, no one will take a serious look at you even if you are extremely powerful, let alone your huge wealth. This will make countless people miss you.
Because of the special nature of Huaibi House, it is far superior to other brothels that deal in the flesh and blood business. It can be said to stand out from the crowd. There was once a businessman from Guangzhou who was having fun in Huaibi House and wanted to deal with Huaibi House, but the old bustard of Huaibi House came forward. Later, the merchants in Guangzhou unanimously dealt with the merchant, and in a few days they drove the merchant out of Guangzhou and no longer dared to be arrogant.
This is just a word from the old bustard of Huaibi Tower, and there is no other action. Because of the businessman's affairs, everyone knows the power that Huaibi Tower has, and no one dares to deal with Huaibi Tower anymore.
After nightfall, the sound of singing, piano, flute sounded in Huaibi Tower...
There are warblers and swallows, and the gates are like a city.
Countless literati and flirts dressed up like Pan An entered and spent a lot of money to win the beauty's smile. If they could have sex with the beauty, they would have bragging rights.
"Li Xiaotong, I'm here."
Outside Huaibi Tower, a hoarse shout suddenly came.
The voice was hoarse but filled with magnetism, and it was blocked at the entrance of Huaibi Tower. It immediately attracted the attention of countless people. The speaker was a young beggar in ragged clothes.
This young beggar is about twenty-four or five years old. His black hair is spread loosely on his back and tied with a red rope. His cheeks are dark and it seems that he hasn’t washed his face in more than a year. The pants are tied around his waist. There were nine small bags hanging on his belt, and he was wearing a pair of straw sandals, revealing his big black feet.
The young man's clothes below the waist are already in strips and are in tattered condition.
The young man put his hands on his hips and looked up at Huaibi Tower. Behind him stood nine beggars in ragged clothes, who seemed to be the young beggar's younger brothers.
The young man looked up at Huaibi Tower without the slightest fear, but with a sense of confidence in his eyes.
Deep in that confidence, there was a hint of apprehension.
Even though the literati and poets coming and going stared at him, the young beggar remained unchanged and looked as usual. He looked up at the second floor of Huaibi Tower and shouted again: "Li Xiaotong, I'm here."
The sound was very loud and attracted the attention of countless literati and poets.
"I said, who is this stinky beggar in rags? He is so thick-skinned. Huaibi Tower is an elegant place and not a beggar with no taste like this."
"Yes, this beggar is so disgusting. It's like a mouse droppings ruining a pot of soup."
…
Around Huaibi Tower, one by one the literati and poets stopped and muttered something to criticize the young beggars. For these literati, poetry and songs were the best proof of talent. The beggar in front of them came to the land of fireworks. The wanton yelling is simply unbearable.
