第37章 镇南侯遇刺

High Yuan is indeed worthy of being a former bodyguard of the Zhennan Marquis. His skills immediately leave Chen Yuan speechless.

With three moves, he quickly overwhelms the opponent, and they lie on the ground in agonizing pain, moaning in distress.

Especially the leading general, with a bruised face, pointed angrily at Gaoyuan and said, "How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am? You must have the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

Gao Yuan burped and cursed, "Pah, what a joke. How dare you cause trouble with such weak skills."

With a frustrated kick, he ruthlessly struck the soldier on the ground, causing the latter to let out another painful scream.

"Kid, if you've got guts, wait for me. Let's go."

The general was not stupid either, knowing that his men were no match for the person in front of him. A wise man doesn't suffer losses, so he left with a harsh remark and walked away gloomily.

The old madam's seductive smile was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a face full of bitterness: "Sir, these are soldiers from the camp, you can't provoke them. It's better for you to leave quickly."

In popular saying, when immortals fight, mortals suffer. Just by looking at these two sides who are opening a business, it's obvious that they are formidable figures.

Especially those few individuals before, dressed in armor and armed, they look like soldiers in a camp.

If such a person is beaten in your own store, can your store still be peaceful?

If they come back later with people for revenge, please, please don't smash your own store.

"Don't worry, little sister. If they come and cause trouble again, I'll take care of them."

High Yuan didn't think much of it. He sat down, hugged the madam, and gently stroked her cleavage, saying, "Come, let's continue drinking."

Not long after, the bustling atmosphere in the Chunxiang Pavilion returned, with playful laughter and debauched smirks filling the entire hall.

Chen Yuan was speechless and was about to go over and advise him when he heard a clear sound of "dong".

Crunchy and pleasant, like a fairy tune brushing against the ear, the noisy and bustling sounds in the building came to a halt.

"It's Liu Rumeng!"

Someone exclaimed, and then a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.

Chen Yuan was taken aback and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the sound with curiosity.

The door of a room in the middle of the second floor opened silently, and a beaded curtain fell down quietly. Vaguely visible behind the beaded curtain was a beautiful figure.

Without seeing or hearing her, just a glance and the men downstairs went crazy.

"Is this Liǔ Rǔmèng?"

"In response to Master, it is Miss Liǔ."

A few young people were sitting not far from Chen Yuan, some of them staring at the figure behind the bead curtain on the second floor.

Needless to say, this is naturally Liu Rumen, the Qingguan person of the Chunxiang Pavilion.

"Brother Chen, look, Miss Liu is coming out," Gao Yuan exclaimed with excitement.

Curious, Chen Yuan asked, "Brother Gao, have you heard of this Miss Liu before?"

"This Miss Liu is an extraordinary woman, proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, to painting. Furthermore, she sells her talents but not her body. She is the top courtesan of Spring Fragrance Pavilion. It is said that many officials and nobles desire to have a personal encounter with her, but somehow, all attempts have come to naught," Gao Yuan explained.

As Gao Yuan spoke, he smacked his lips and said, "Since her debut, no young master has managed to become her intimate guest, and many haven't even had a chance to catch a glimpse of her beauty."

After listening, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sneer.

Any courtesan would not easily show her appearance, it's inevitable.

Mystery and ambiguity are necessary to attract more attention, in other words, it's a kind of hype.

If you easily let people see you, how can you arouse a man's attention?

Liu Rumeng also didn't speak. She just lightly flicked her ten fingers, and a sound of divine music could be heard from afar, slowly approaching.

Chen Yuan is pondering that this girl's musical talent seems pretty good, and she also has a strong appeal to men, like a real-life internet celebrity in Lingnan.

If he were to bring her to his own natural habitat and have her perform a piece, maybe even make her a representative for his restaurant, then his restaurant would surely flourish?

Chen Yuan is now completely focused on the business of his restaurant. It must be said that this guy's mind is all about how to make money.

At first, the sound was light, like a clear spring flowing down the mountain. Gradually, it became more intense, like fine rain in early spring.

Listen carefully, the sound of the qin seems to have a strange magic, the rhythm seems to hover over the head, and it seems to whisper in the ears, making people intoxicated.

Even Chen Yuan and Gao Yuan, who are rough men, couldn't help but be a little infatuated with it.

Liyu Fanglin is beautiful and attractive, like a newly decorated stunning landscape;

Her beauty is so captivating that it seems as if she is teasing from outside the window, with her charming smile;

Her face is like a flower with dewdrops, and her grace shines in the courtyard;

But beauty fades quickly, as fallen petals cover the ground in silence.

A pleasant and melodious female voice came through, crisp and gentle, as if telling the heartaches of a young girl, soft and graceful, expressing its meaning to the fullest.

This is a palace-style poem by Chen Houzhu, also known as the melody of a fallen nation.

It was sung lightly by Liu Rumeng, and Chen Yuan frowned slightly, which was not appropriate for the occasion.

It seems a bit awkward?

There is even a hint of resentment in the tone?

In the noisy crowd of Chunxiang Pavilion, it was extremely quiet at this moment. After Liu Rumeng finished playing, everyone was still immersed in the beautiful realm and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

As for this poem?

Forget it, who can even pay attention to it? Everyone's focus is on the beautiful figure behind the pearl curtain.

Just then, a person rushed in from outside, looking around as if searching for something.

As soon as he saw Chen Yuan's figure, he quickly walked over and leaned down to whisper something by his side. Chen Yuan's face changed slightly.

"Let's go."

Gao Yuan was patting the madam's body with one hand while enjoying the music on the second floor. When he saw Chen Yuan's actions, he immediately froze and hurriedly stood up, saying, "What's wrong, Brother Chen?"

Chen Yuan gave him a look, said nothing, and left Chunxiang Pavilion.

"Brother Chen, what happened exactly?"

Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"Marquis Hou...was attacked," Chen Yuan slowly uttered a few words.

"What?!" Gao Yuan exclaimed, his face changing dramatically.

The Marquis Hou was assassinated?

"Are you kidding me? This is in Lingnan! Who would dare to assassinate the Marquis of Zhen Nan in Lingnan?"

Could it be Yuwen Huaji?

For some unknown reason, Gao Yuan looked at Chen Yuan with a questioning gaze.

Chen Yuan understood what he was thinking when he caught his questioning gaze, and shook his head lightly.

Actually, his initial reaction upon hearing this news was also Yu Wen Huaji.

But then he dismissed the idea, it definitely wasn't Yu Wen Huaji who did it, he is definitely not that stupid.

Only five hundred Lin troops came to Lingnan, and they dare not assassinate Baron Zhen Nan. They don't have the courage yet.

"Let's go and visit Baron Zhen Nan's mansion."
