Hold On, General

Brothel…

Xiao Cao didn’t have a long time to calm down. After he returned to the room, he circled the room like a sleeping beast. When he almost fainted, he walked a few steps silently. He sat at the table and drank tea. When he took the fourth sip, he suddenly thought that if the following people went out, wouldn’t he have a lot less fun to see?

Thinking about it, he hurriedly got up and ran down.

Genius Long and the others were about to go shopping, but who knew that when they raised their eyes, they saw him coming down again, and they couldn’t help but ask, “It’s over so soon?”

Xiao Cao’s face was still a little wooden. He glanced at General Gu and didn’t speak. Instead, he picked up the kitchen knife on the table, ran down and give the runner some money, and ordered: “Go find an ironsmith and melt this knife and recast it.”

The runner nodded and said, “Master, what do you want to cast?”

Xiao Cao said woodenly., “Feel free, as long as it’s not a kitchen knife, everything is fine.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Cao then walked back, looked at them, and was a little annoyed when he was silent for a while: “Why are you looking at me like this?”

General Gu continued to be paralyzed. Muzi had always been able to not speak without speaking, and Genius Long stared at him strangely, but Yun Xian made a concluding speech: “It turns out that you have reached the level of a stupid fan, a human being, you will never understand how sacred and inviolable the status of idols in the minds of stupid fans is.”

“…” Xiao Cao began to wonder if the blow he had just received was so severe that he suddenly couldn’t understand people.

After Yun Xian finished speaking, he ignored him no longer, but walked out slowly: “Let’s go, brother.”

Genius Long hummed and glanced at Xiao Cao: “What’s your name?”

Xiao Cao didn’t answer the rhetorical question: “How about you?”

“Now you are following us, you have no choice.”

“Well,” Xiao Cao didn’t mind either, he handed over his hand quite chicly, and smiled, “My surname is Xiao(蕭)…”

{Here Xiao is surname Xiao(蕭). When Yun Xian gave him the name prefix Xiao(小). }

Before he finished speaking, Genius Long and Yun Xian suddenly spoke together: “…Cao?”

“……”

General Gu suddenly remembered a person, a person who was also speechless by these two people because of his name. Xiao Cao took a breath slowly, and said patiently: “Chong(崇), a single name is Chong.”

The two of them couldn’t help being startled, and then they suddenly realized: “… It turns out its not grass, it’s a bug(蟲).”

Xiao Chong asked in surprise: “…there is no other meaning in your words?”

The two blinked innocent eyes: “What can it mean?”

“…God knows.” Xiao Chong was very helpless, but he didn’t ask Genius Long’s name. He came here to find out the purpose of Yun Xian’s visit to Shenghua. He didn’t expect to meet General Gu, but seeing how these people were safe and sound… He looked at Yun Xian quite incredulously: “Have you taken refuge in Shenghua?”

Yun Xian smiled: “Strictly speaking, it’s taking refuge in one person.”

Xiao Chong couldn’t help but squint at Genius Long. He knew that there was a new military commander in Shenghua’s army this time. Now it seems that since it can be said that Yun Xian surrendered, the military commander is probably this person. He remembered General Gu’s attitude towards this person and looked at the extraordinary guard on the side. His heart was shocked. This person…Could it be the emperor?

Genius Long ignored his gaze and pulled Yun Xian out. At this moment, the lights were on and the noise was very loud. Yun Xian looked around: “Brother, where are we going?”

Genius Long hooked his neck and said with a smile: “Xiao Yun Xian, you have to know that ancient times also have ancient benefits because there is a legalized institution that men in the world dream of.”

Yun Xian blinked: “… brothel-courtyard?”

“There is no one who knows me better than Xiao Yun Xian.”

Yun Xian wanted to reply, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a certain general who suddenly walked to their side, hurriedly broke Genius Long’s arm, expressionless: “Don’t put your arms around me, it’s hot.”

“……”

General Gu lowered his head and asked, “Are you going to Qing-Lou?”

Genius Long nodded. General Gu couldn’t help frowning: “Don’t go, how can you go to that kind of place in your identity?”

“What does this have to do with identity,” Genius Long said indifferently, “The brothel-courtyard was originally built for men. What’s the matter with me going to see it?”

General Gu didn’t answer but took his hand: “I just heard that gentleman in the lobby say that he is going to continue talking in the teahouse tonight. It’s better to listen.”After he finished speaking, he took him and left, without the slightest intention of discussing it. Genius Long stared at him for a while, but he didn’t break away for a long time. He hurriedly asked for help. Yun Xian couldn’t count on it. He looked at his guard, “Muzi, help me get rid of him.”

Muzi stepped forward silently, but did not move, and said in a low voice: “Young master, the grand master has instructed that I cannot interfere in your affairs with the general.”

Genius Long couldn’t believe it: “Then I asked you to beat him last time, why did you listen to it?”

Muzi said in a muffled voice: “The last time you gave the order. Young master, you let go of the general’s arm without physical contact.”

“…” Genius Long said, “In other words, as long as we have contact, you won’t intervene?”

“Yes.”

Genius Long was almost crying without tears. What kind of big brother did he spread out?！ He looked at the other person: “Xiao Cao…”

Xiao Chong shook his fan and followed with a smile, and couldn’t help nodding secretly. Even the emperor was not afraid, and he was worthy of being a general.

“…” Genius Long looked into his eyes and suddenly became desperate for the world. He was about to be dragged into the teahouse when he caught a glimpse of the rest of his eyes and hastily hugged the pillar outside the building with one hand, “I want to go, I will kill myself if you don’t let me go! I will kill myself!”

General Gu stopped to look at him, and said with a patient temper: “Don’t make trouble, you can’t go to that kind of place.”

Genius Long was particularly sad and angry: “Why? What am I anyway, how can you, a general, treat me like this? Even if you tricked me out to help you fight, you won’t let me play now. You are simply too vicious, too cold, and too ruthless!”

“……”

“I let you follow and let you sleep with me. What else do you want?”

“……”

Genius Long knew that he had to do both soft and firm, so he put aside his temper and blinked with tears: “I just go to the brothel to see beautiful women and listen to their singing. I don’t do anything, really.”

General Gu hesitated when he saw him at first glance.

“I haven’t been there, I want to go and have a look,” Genius Long blinked. After waiting to see him still silent, his shoulders collapsed, and he squatted on the ground pitifully. “If you say you like me, you are lying to me. I know, I know, you actually didn’t take me seriously. I’m nothing when I leave the house. Now, who I sleep with and go outside to play with depends on other people’s faces…You all bully and don’t want to see me. My heart is broken. I’m not alive anymore…”

“…” General Gu wanted to speak several times but was forced back by his words, and finally took a deep breath and said slowly, “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Genius Long’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

General Gu nodded bitterly.

Genius Long immediately got up and walked forward. Xiao Chong twitched the corner of his mouth: “This…”

Yun Xian patted him on the shoulder: “It’s okay, just get used to it.” Follow up.

The group of people quickly came to the largest brothel-courtyard in the city, asked for a wing, and put on fruit and fruit snacks. The madam warmly welcome them and called countless beauties. General Gu took the lead and said, “Can anyone play the zither?”

He was so powerful that he looked like a master. The madam smiled like a flower: “Yes, yes, yes, there are many, come and see ……”

General Gu interrupted her: “Only one is left.”

The old madam was startled slightly, and secretly said that these people don’t even want to accompany the wine? But she didn’t dare to offend, so she responded and took the rest out. As soon as they left, the remaining people looked at the woman holding the zither in the room. This person was very beautiful and didn’t feel timid at all when stared at by so many people. She stepped forward with a smile: “This Daye…”

General Gu stretched out his hand and pointed: “Step back, go there and play.”

The smile on the woman’s face stiffened, then recovered, and the obedient past began to play.

Neither Yun Xian nor Genius Long understood the rhythm, but stared at the classical beauty with interest, while Xiao Chong listened intently, occasionally taking a sip of wine, very comfortable, while General Gu looked at her without blinking, his aura became colder and colder.

The smile at the corner of the beauty’s mouth began to become reluctant, and she became more and more trembling under someone’s power, and she didn’t dare to take a breath.

Several people present quickly noticed the problem and looked at someone vigilantly, for fear that he would do something, but at this moment this person suddenly opened his mouth, pointed at Yun Xian and said to Xiao Wang Ye: “She’s not as pretty as him, so what’s there to see?”

Yun Xian and Genius Long were almost choked to death by the fruit. Xiao Chong choked on the wine abruptly. The beauty’s hand shook and instantly bounced five tones, and the scene was almost frozen.

Genius Long twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the pitiful appearance of the beauty, took up the wine glass and stepped forward: “This girl doesn’t mind it. He has this kind of temper, which makes the girl very upset when you are frightened. Let’s do that. I’ll punish myself for a drink.”

“Don’t drink…” Before General Gu could stop him, Genius Long drank it abruptly, then rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

The scene condensed again.

The beauty was shocked.

“…” Yun Xian silently stopped turning his head, it was embarrassing.

Xiao Chong looked at the extra corpse on the floor in a daze, and secretly said that this is still a man?

General Gu stepped forward and hugged him in his arms, and looked back at them: “He had been in poor health since he was a child and drinking hurt his body, so naturally he could not drink much.”

Yun Xian couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows: “How do you know?”

“Wei Xiaoan said.”

Yun Xian knew it, and it seemed that this person had done a lot of homework secretly for his brother.

After this trouble, they had to go back. The autumn night was a little cold. Genius Long slowly opened his eyes when the wind blew, his face palsy, and he asked vaguely: “Go…where are you going?”

“Go back to the inn.”

“Oh…” Genius Long responded lazily, “After a day of driving, I want to take a bath. Boil hot water.

“When I came out, I ordered Xiao Er to prepare.”

“I asked you to boil hot water.”

“…” General Gu suddenly remembered that there was nothing to say to the drunkard.

“Do you hear me?”

“Hmm.”

“Well, that’s a good boy,” Genius Long climbed up to him and said with a smile, “Come on, give me a kiss.” Having said that, he whined at his neck, and General Gu immediately froze.

Yun Xian laughed out loud, and slowly rubbed over to look at him: “Hey, have you ever heard a word?”

“What?”

“Chaotic sex after drinking.”

“……”

While talking, they returned to the inn. Yun Xian smiled and ordered Xiao Er to bring hot water to the room, go upstairs with them, stand in front of his room door and said, “Don’t forget to bathe my brother. Oh, by the way, consider what I said at dinner.”

“……”

Yun Xian stopped paying attention to him and smiled as he closed the door. Xiao Chong looked at someone with a torn expression: “General, have you really thought about it?

General Gu was surprised: “What?”

Xiao Chong struggled for a long time and then said slowly, “It’s okay, you’re still the same general anyway,” he slowly walked towards the room and looked at him before closing the door, “It’s okay for people to be flirtatious once in a while, really, I can understand that, go do what you want.”

The door closed with a creak.

“……”

Pronunciations are the same but writing is different. That is why Chinese ppl ask “how to write your surname in the word” when they have doubts.
