Chapter 1656: Chapter 1193: Don’t move, crackdown on pornography!
This is the largest brothel in Changan City, known as Jinwu Tower.
Even those not familiar with Changan understand its immense backing. The presence of women from various worlds is the best proof.
Either it suggests they have a powerful private armed force, or it suggests a background tied to the military of the Great Tang.
At the same time, Jinwu Tower is also recognized by the young talents of Changan City as a place of romance and pleasure.
In the traditional impression, brothels are filled with women in heavy makeup and gaudy attire, a place where one indulges in joy.
In general, this is not wrong, but in reality, the higher-end the brothel, the higher its standards and pursuits.
Jinwu Tower is the most famous brothel in the Great Tang, as well as the most top-tier one.
The women there are not only beautiful and charming but also proficient in all manners of arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Thus, many of the noble sons and literary men love to go there to socialize and compose poetry.
Of course, the high cost at Jinwu Tower turns away the majority of people.
This even earns the agreement of its regular patrons. They’d rather spend a large sum just to keep Jinwu Tower exclusive from the common rabble.
They would say, ’What class are you to enter the same brothel as me?’
And Li Changhe’s visit here was because Old Lead spotted a rather strange fate line within.
Their fate lines were entangled, extending towards distant horizons.
This allowed Li Chu, who was also in disguise and wearing the uniform of an Inspector, to breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, he really couldn’t justify himself to the followers of ’The Arrow of Green Flame’.
Otherwise, when the followers asked, ’Champion, where did you and the General go?’
Should he say the General took me whoring?
Inside Li Changhe, Yun Ting, who noticed the change in Li Chu, let out a chuckle: "What’s there to fear? If he really did go out on those kinds of adventures, there’s no need for the Chaos Evil God to take action – his wife would hang him out to dry. He’s scared of his wife; you, being a man from the Great Tang, should have heard this news. Let me clarify, oh – it’s true!"
If one were to rank the statuses within the lineage of the Fifth Evil God, it’s not Li Chu the Champion who holds the highest position, but the Holy Spirit Yun Ting.
As a Symbiotic Body of the Chaos Evil God, her strength and status are both high.
All churches that believe in Li Changhe, despite different doctrines, show the same respect for Yun Ting.
Though addressed differently as ’Holy Spirit’, ’Angel’, ’Holy Maiden’, and so on, all titles carry equal reverence.
So, Li Chu didn’t know whether to respond to Yun Ting’s words for a moment.
He certainly had heard the rumors about ’General Li Ba’s fear of his wife,’ but he did not dare to discuss such topics in the presence of Divinity.
"Do you have to say this in front of me?" Li Changhe criticized Yun Ting but did not object to anything.
He then asked Li Chu: "You’re also a resident of Changan of the Great Tang, have you been here before? Do you know the people here?"
Li Chu shook his head: "Replying to the... responding to your Excellency, I’ve heard some rumors in school but have never actually been here."
Li Chu is a quintessential promising youth of the Great Tang.
Though not even belonging to a modest family, he only has an elder sister who he relies on.
His sister worked hard and, as a graduate of the Great Tang Medical College, became a military medic in the Expeditionary Army.
He himself was also very promising, having excellent scholarly prowess and worked hard to get admitted to the Great Tang Military Academy.
Once he graduates, he can become an Auxiliary Army officer for a certain battle group.
After obtaining enough military merits, he will have more hope than other Auxiliary Army officers to become an armored warrior.
Being able to become an armored warrior is a mark of distinction.
In the Great Tang, armored warriors hold high status. They enjoy many privileges.
They can even obtain a sizable piece of land in the armored warriors’ home world.
In a sense, they become part of the nobility.
But Li Chu had never been here; however, he could use this opportunity to recognize some faces for Li Changhe and the others.
After that, a group of five people entered the Jinwu Tower, and were promptly greeted by well-dressed attendants.
Though they were startled, they still managed to put on a smile and ask, "My lords, would you like to listen to music? Or watch a dance? Perhaps try our Jinwu Tower chef’s cooking? Our new courtesan is from the Cloud World; the physique of their humans is special..."
Looking down on others was something they dared not do at Jinwu Tower.
The attendants, experienced and knowledgeable, also recognized the inspector’s uniform worn by Li Changhe and the others.
They couldn’t afford to provoke the inspectors; if they reported any chaos here, an army would be dispatched for a ’cleanup’, and they would have no place to voice their grievances.
They had no choice but to try their best to please them.
"No need, I am here on a case," Li Changhe glanced at the attendant,
"The lord must be joking..." the attendant was on the verge of tears.
But Li Changhe didn’t pay him any more attention and continued to move forward with the group.
This made the attendant and the customers start to fear; if there really was something chaos-related here, none of them would end well.
Not to mention the fate of Jinwu Tower, even their backers behind the scenes might run into trouble.
As Li Changhe moved on, many scholars and poets who saw them immediately fell silent, and quite a few people who were engaged in their business shook all over, losing their ability to perform.
Li Changhe’s goal, however, was on the second floor.
Inside the elegant chambers on the second floor, several wealthy disciples were chatting away.
Beside them, a beautiful woman was smiling as she listened to their conversations.
She was the courtesan the attendant had mentioned, currently entertaining a few distinguished guests.
One effeminate-looking man laughed, "Wuhua Lady, the stories you tell are indeed interesting. Inspired by them, my efficiency in dealing with mundane matters has greatly improved."
The other men and women all echoed his sentiment.
This effeminate man’s background was significant; his father had gone through the Third Different Race War, slaughtering chaos traitors. After the war, he even became a commander of a combat group, and there was a trend for him to climb even higher up the ranks.
At the same time, he was on intimate terms with the second prince of the Tang Empire, a target for many families to form a relation with.
"If I could be of help to Young Master Helan, it would be wonderful," said the Wuhua Lady with a smile. "How did the young master handle that situation?"
"That lad wanted to marry my cousin? Although he doesn’t have much of a background, he is also an officer of the Auxiliary Army, and my cousin is inclined towards him. The family elders have always found it difficult to resolve. Fortunately, following your hint, the family sent him to the combat group, making a vow that if he really becomes an armored warrior, our Helan family would not mind a grand wedding procession," the effeminate man said with a laugh. "Many families are praising us for not worrying over trifles, for our profound understanding, hahaha..."
Everyone could sense the chill in his tone. His family’s power was not small, and that ’lad’ likely had no chance to achieve military exploits and become an armored warrior. An officer with no background, even if he died on the battlefield, would not catch the attention of any high position holders.
And the Wuhua Lady too just smiled faintly, probably not realizing that the combat group he was talking about was about to head to a certain battlefield. And that lad he mentioned would get involved in an opportunity orchestrated by him on that battlefield, eventually becoming the finale of the battlefield. In the end, he would return to this world filled with resentment!
At this moment, however, a voice interrupted everyone’s laughter.
"Nobody move, this is a raid!"
(Here it comes, it’s happening.)
