Chapter 57 Listening to Music on the Hook
"My two old friends, see you next time. I will tell you about the changes in the world during the Zhou Dynasty..."

Brush off the fallen snow on the monument, and listen to the young man’s words.

One year of the Xuanlong Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

winter.

Su Chen went down the mountain.

A man riding a fast horse came down the green hill, wearing a black robe, and headed straight for Jinjiang River, fifty miles north of the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Back to the palace.

He had one more thing to do.

In the abandoned house in the bamboo forest, Chu Feng’s determination frightened him.

Just don’t know.

Two years have passed, dynasties have changed, and everything has changed. I wonder if this child is still alive.

"But I feel like I forgot something."

Su Chen was puzzled, but didn't think about it any further.

Because we have arrived at Jinjiang City.

A Jinjiang River runs through the whole city, rushing for thousands of miles. Above the raging waves of the river, there are countless black sails and painted boats. On them, there are pipa, fine wine, luminous cups, and beauties in tulle playing music and dancing in the wind and snow. It is like a fairy palace on earth, a maze of music on earth, and a gold-consuming cave like the Qinhuai River.

"Listening to music in a brothel is not bad."

night.

Under the bright moon and starry sky.

Su Chen's body flew like a stream of light, his feet stepping on the river water, going against the rushing waves, heading towards the largest pleasure boat on the river, which was like a palace.

Although I don't know who it is.

But the only remaining royal blood of Daliang, the descendants of the deposed emperor, are on this pleasure boat.

"Wonderful!"

"How wonderful!"

"This dance is so white, no, this dance is so big!"

Fluffy flowers gradually desire charming eyes.

As he searched, Su Chen stood on the stage, unable to move any further.

In the palace-like pleasure boat, on the high platform, there were young girls in gauze dancing gracefully, with slender figures and plump bodies.

Among them, there was a famous girl, dancing like a startled swan under the moonlight. Even though she was standing in the corner, wearing plain clothes, her beautiful face and superb dancing skills still made the other dancers look dim, like stars next to the bright moon...

For a moment, Su Chen even forgot the purpose of his trip.

"What are you looking at? Go to work."

The manager of the pleasure boat took a look around and was surprised to see a group of servants in black, busy serving tea and water to the nobles. On the contrary, there was a strange man in black who was "watching the flowers and appreciating the moon" here.

"Do you think a young man like you can watch the dance of Miss Qingque and her friends?"

"Get back to work."

The manager cursed angrily and kicked Su Chen, then threw the plate and rag in his hand to Su Chen, who subconsciously took them.

However, my sight is still fixed on "flowers and moonlight".

"come over."

"Wipe my desk."

There was a young master, who waved towards Su Chen.

"calls me?"

Su Chen looked around and trotted over to wipe the table. He had never done this kind of work in the palace.

In Daliang, if anyone dared to ask him to wipe the table, Zhang Gui or Xu Han would probably be on his way to investigating the other party's nine clans.

"wonderful!"

"That's wonderful!"

"Award thirty golden bluebird flowers to me! Hahaha! No matter how many times I see her, she is always so cool and charming. I will definitely give her the first prize..."

From the upstairs box, a young man's wild voice came.

Soon, thirty lifelike hollow golden flowers appeared on the high platform in front of the girl in plain clothes.

"Marquis Jiangling is here too."

"It seems that Qingque has a master."

In the hall, the distinguished guests who were originally eager to make a move suddenly lost their minds and dared not think of laying hands on Qingque anymore.

Thirty golden flowers.

It's just three thousand taels of silver.

Everyone can afford it.

But no one dared to offend Marquis Jiangling.

"With just over thirty golden flowers, you want to win the first prize of Qingque. Everyone knows that Qingque is the most beautiful singer in Jinjiang City. She is sixteen years old and will be married today..."

"Seventy golden flowers are born in our family!"

A shrill voice was heard in the hall. Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction of the voice. Suddenly, they saw a figure in a blue robe.

"Who is so bold?"

"This is Marquis Jiangling! The most valuable person in the entire Jinjiang City! Who is this person? How dare he challenge Marquis Jiangling?"

Beside Su Chen, a real servant in black couldn't help but exclaim.

"how?"

"Is this Marquis of Jiangling famous?"

Su Chen asked.

"You don't even know that the entire Jinjiang City was conferred in his name. You, Lord Longxuan of the Great Zhou, know that he and...wait, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The servant stopped and looked at Su Chen suspiciously.

"Ha ha!"

"It's a nice day, I'll go take a look around..."

Su Chen slipped away.

He remembered his purpose and prepared to continue looking for someone.

In the painted boat.

Marquis Jiangling began bidding against the statue in blue robe.

"One hundred golden flowers..."

"Our family has three hundred golden flowers!"

"Seven hundred!"

"Eunuch Yu, please forgive me when you can. You are the supervisor of Jinjiang sent by the palace, so you should give me some face."

"Besides, you won't be able to use the bluebird you photograph..."

In the box, Marquis Jiangling was already gritting his teeth.

Jinjiang Supervisor!

It turned out to be the supervisor of Jinjiang!

Another great figure!
All the wealthy businessmen and nobles in the pleasure boat stood there shivering, drinking tea non-stop, and now they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"Um?!"

The blue-robed steward, who was originally ready to give in, suddenly had a distorted expression. What was the difference between this and pointing at his nose and calling him a castrated dog without balls?
What's the difference!
"One thousand!"

"We are going to take a picture of this green bird today and present it to our master in the palace. What's wrong? What's wrong?" Yu Zhong in blue robe roared.

On the high platform, the plain-dressed girl named Qingque bit her lip and tugged at the hem of her skirt tightly. The resentment and humiliation in her eyes were almost impossible to conceal.

But, what can she do if she is unwilling?

It would be great if I could practice.

pity.

She is just the lowest singing girl, not allowed to practice, and she is standing here today just to be sold at a good price.

"Two thousand golden flowers!"

"Stinking eunuch!"

"The remnants of Daliang!"

"I'm giving you face, don't I? My father is the Lord Longxuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who single-handedly destroyed the supreme leader of your Daliang! If you compete with me again, I will destroy the red-robed uncle in your palace as well."

Marquis Jiangling roared, opened the window, pointed at the blue-robed Yu Zhong's nose and cursed.

"you?!"

Yu Zhong was extremely angry.

He stood up, with his internal energy surging, and was ready to attack.

The crowd in the hall emptied out and retreated to the corners, fearing that they would be implicated.

This was a dispute between Jinjiang Supervisor and Jiangling Marquis, two great heaven-breaking people, and they dared not get involved.

"So he is also a eunuch, and he is from Daliang. No wonder this robe looks so familiar. By the way, hasn't the system of eunuchs in the Great Zhou Palace been changed?"

"Forget it."

"There's a second-rank guy in the box, and you're only a third-rank guy. You can't beat him, so forget it."

Seeing that he was also a eunuch and a remnant of the Daliang clan, Su Chen immediately felt a sense of closeness and went up to hold down the violent Yu Zhong.

"roll!"

Yu Zhong was furious and wanted to hit the ignorant boy away. However, the pair of hands pressing on his shoulders were like an iron mountain, and he could not move at all.

"You look for……"

Yu Zhong was furious, and was about to attack with all his might. However, when he raised his eyes and saw Su Chen's face, he was suddenly struck by lightning and became stunned.

"how?"

"you know me?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This boy seemed a little familiar.

I think I've seen it in the library?
what do you say that is?

……

……

the other side.

night.

Imperial City.

The Great Zhou Dynasty carried out large-scale construction and rebuilt the Great Zhou Imperial Palace on the ruins of the Daliang Imperial Palace. Countless palaces and pavilions were built, and the original bottomless abyss was also covered by a tall tower with seventeen floors, reaching into the clouds.

The pottery jars were dug out.

"Why is there a little turtle in here?"

A eunuch asked curiously.

The little turtle woke up.

call--

That powerful fellow has gone far away?

It poked its head out, ended its hibernation, and was stunned by the sight of all this strangeness. It ran on its four short legs, crawling faster than lions and tigers, searching everywhere.

No!

Still not here.

Where is the good human brother?

Ah!
Ran?

He ran away!
The little turtle hasn't run away yet!

Pull the little turtle down! The little turtle is still here!
The little turtle was aggrieved and about to cry. It sniffed everywhere, and its black jade body, like a stream of light, soared into the sky and headed towards Jinjiang City.

"Where is the evildoer?"

There was a roar.

There was a powerful warrior from the Great Zhou Dynasty, with eyes glaring, descending from the seventeen-story tower.

The little turtle stared back.

It rises with the wind!

It revealed a huge mouth that could swallow a low-grade demon!

"This……"

"excuse me."

The supreme being was sweating profusely and retreated to the 17th floor of the tower at an extremely fast speed.

The top floor of the tower.

All the first-rank officials who were studying the ten ancient coffins found in the abyss came over.

Youpin smiled and complimented.

"Your Highness Emperor Long, it seems that you have become even stronger. I'm afraid that the evildoer who appeared has been beaten to death by you."

The soul is destroyed?

It is almost as if my soul has been completely destroyed.

Dilong, with a very forced smile, changed the subject.

"What about these ancient coffins? Have you found anything?"

"Found out."

"These ancient coffins have a history of more than 300 years. They may be from the end of the Dayu Dynasty. The materials used to make them are rare in the world. Even the best ones are difficult to damage. They cannot be opened from the outside. But for some reason, they have been leaking water in the past few days..."

There is a report from the first grade.

At this time.

An ancient coffin began to tremble.

hum!
The coffin lid exploded.

An old, white hand, still covered with ice crystals, pressed stiffly on the edge of the coffin, and cold words came out from the coffin.

"When ice melts, won't it continue to seep water?"

"What year is Dayu now?"

"besides……"

"Has the fairy arrived...?"

Hoarse voice.

After more than three hundred years, a great master of Yu awakened.

　Go listen to the music in the brothel and stop cursing.
