Chapter 6271: Huang Jiulang
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation“Being a hypocrite and pretending to be virtuous, the first of its kind!” Tang Erhu sneered disdainfully.
The beautiful woman was not annoyed by this; instead, she responded with poise, “A song doesn’t match the person, and a scene doesn’t entice anyone. How could there be a plaque?”
“Interesting!” Jian Wushuang smiled lightly and nodded. This wasn’t his first time visiting a brothel, but it was his first encounter with such an intriguing madam.
He recalled his previous visit to the Great Xia, where he and Bai Junwang had visited brothels together, which were far more lively and less bound by such rigid rules.
Cultivators seemed less reserved than these mortals, who were extraordinarily conventional.
One Ear, preoccupied with tonight’s major event, couldn’t be bothered to discuss with this beautiful woman and stepped forward directly. “Alright, take my master to the riverside in the backyard. Money is no issue!”
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman knew it was a recommendation from a regular customer. Without further ado, she quoted the price.
Entering the riverside in the backyard cost thirty taels of silver per person.
For the five of them, it was a total of one hundred and fifty taels.
Upon hearing the price, Jian Wushuang thought they were quite reserved.
The asking price was simply too steep.
He also admired Huang Jiulang’s capabilities, not just because of the Huang family’s one hundred thousand good fields, but also the many brothels and inns, which were mostly Huang Jiulang’s businesses.
In the vast Shunshui Town, apart from the poor commoners, the profitable industries were all owned by the Huang family.
No wonder Shunshui Town was so firmly controlled by the Huang family.
After paying the silver, the beautiful woman led them to the riverside in the backyard.
Here, there was already music and dancing, with young girls of excellent appearance dancing gracefully, their enchanting sounds stirring the heart.
Jian Wushuang and his companions found a place to sit but did not see Huang Jiulang in the backyard.
According to the intelligence, Huang Jiulang would come tonight and always sat in the foremost position.
This position was reserved for Huang Jiulang.
Perhaps because it was still early, Jian Wushuang didn’t mind and joined in, patiently waiting for the fish to bite.
After about a quarter of an hour, a commotion was heard outside.
Jian Wushuang turned his head and looked in the direction of the noise, seeing a middle-aged man in a yellow mandarin jacket striding in.
Several people behind him were scanning the surroundings.
This was within Jian Wushuang’s expectations, but two of them made him frown.
Wu Xing and Hei Niu.
These two were from Qingshui Mountain and were here too.
It was evident that after that day, they came straight to Shunshui Town.
The courtyard was not large, making it impossible for him to avoid their gaze.
So he stood up and greeted them.
“Brother Wu, what a coincidence!”
Wu Xing was also surprised to see him here. After glancing at Huang Jiulang, he quickly walked towards Jian Wushuang.
“What a coincidence indeed! I didn’t expect to meet you here, Second in Command!” Wu Xing greeted politely before turning to introduce Jian Wushuang to Huang Jiulang. “Master Huang, this is Jian Wushuang, the Second in Command of the small dock I mentioned to you!”
Huang Jiulang, as rumored, appeared modest but was deeply shrewd.
“I’ve heard that a great figure emerged from Shajia Town. I never expected to meet you on my territory. It’s a great honor!” Huang Jiulang’s words were courteous.
However, both he and Wu Xing were puzzled about why Jian Wushuang was in Shunshui Town.
Jian Wushuang was also curious about why Wu Xing was in Shunshui Town.
But it wasn’t hard to guess.
It was likely because his ambition was too great, leading to a collaboration between Qingshui Mountain and Shunshui Town.
Fortunately, he was ruthless enough to plan to eliminate Huang Jiulang in advance.
Otherwise, once he was free, the other party would have assembled a team of thousands.
At that time, without money or food, he couldn’t compete with these people.
He was also worried about today’s plan.
It would undoubtedly arouse the other party’s suspicion.
Why would a small dock’s Second in Command come to Shunshui Town now?
Moreover, to visit a brothel frequented by Huang Jiulang and coincidentally meet here.
No one would believe it was just a coincidence.
Everyone knew Shajia Town was bustling, and Jian Wushuang, a key figure, wouldn’t have the leisure to come here for entertainment, especially since Shajia Town was more than a hundred miles away.
Even if he rode here, the journey would exhaust his enthusiasm for play.
Both sides had their suspicions.
But none guessed too far.
They all stopped at the surface.
Actually, this collaboration between Qingshui Mountain and Master Huang was to take down Jian Wushuang.
They were simultaneously preparing to send people to attack Sha Family Town. As long as they took down Sha Family Town, Jian Wushuang would be cornered. No matter how great Jian Wushuang’s schemes were, without Sha Family Town, they would be mere words on paper.
A single move to defeat the enemy came from Wu Xing.
Even Jian Wushuang thought this person had some skill and was by no means an ordinary person.
However, seeing Jian Wushuang here at this moment made Wu Xing’s mind race. He was also afraid that Jian Wushuang might collaborate with Old Master Huang to deal with Qingshui Mountain.
After a brief greeting, Huang Jiulang did not invite Jian Wushuang to the same table. Instead, he took Wu Xing and Hei Niu to the main seat.
He had learned from Wu Xing that Jian Wushuang’s swordsmanship was exceptional and that he carried a sword. Getting too close made him uneasy.
As soon as Huang Jiulang sat down, he signaled to his subordinate to go back and call more people.
Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang also gave One Ear a look, signaling to act quickly.
They couldn’t delay.
Otherwise, they would lose the chance to act.
He didn’t know much about the martial artists of this world and was unaware of the opponent’s strength.
If they failed, it would be difficult for him to escape today.
Although on the surface it had nothing to do with him, a ruthless person like Huang Jiulang would never let a tiger return to the mountain.
If he got surrounded, even though he was confident in breaking through, the subsequent plan would fail.
At this moment, both sides acted simultaneously.
However, Jian Wushuang’s side was quicker.
The two brothers, Wolf and Coyote, had already sneaked into the Cui Xiang Pavilion and were now waiting for an opportunity.
To make the other side act faster, Jian Wushuang personally created this opportunity for them.
He raised his eyes and signaled to Tang Erhu.
Unfortunately, this blockhead was not as perceptive as One Ear. If he had this ability, he wouldn’t have ended up as a miscellaneous captain.
Jian Wushuang felt a bit helpless and had to attract attention himself.
He took a gulp of strong liquor, staggered to his feet, and rushed towards a dancing young woman.
“Beauty, aren’t you cold wearing so little?” Jian Wushuang teased the brothel woman with extreme disdain.
If word of this got out, he wouldn’t be able to live it down.
But he had no choice but to do this now.
Not only did he use words, but he also used his hands.
With this commotion, he intended to cause the other side to panic and attract the attention of Huang Jiulang and others, making it easier for the Wolf brothers to act.
Unexpectedly, when he grabbed the girl in the thin veil, she did not resist. Instead, she fell into his arms, her cheeks blushing shyly.
“Why is this different from what I expected?”
Jian Wushuang felt a bit panicked inside. He had thought the girl would resist or at least scream.
