Chapter 4 The next sign-in point, 'Liuyun Pavilion' in 'Zuixianju'

Poisonous scholar, Jia Xu?
When Li Chengze heard the voice of the system, his heart instantly filled with joy.

The reward for this sign-in was actually becoming the number one strategist during the Three Kingdoms period.

No, it should be said that he is the number one poisonous scholar.

This person has a sharp vision, is unexpected, and to the point, regardless of the consequences. He has a long-term vision and is well-planned.

If he doesn't make a move, it's fine, but once he does, he can definitely kill his opponent!

Moreover, Jia Xu's strategies went straight to the heart of the people, and he didn't care about any moral or empty reputation at all. He just used strategies purely according to the situation, which was quite like "I am fine as long as I am safe, so why should I care about the flood?"

This kind of talent is exactly what I need.

Isn’t Emperor Qing a sinister and cunning person?

Then let Jia Xu deal with him and see who can outwit the other.

Just then, a thin old man wearing a square scarf, holding a white feather fan and wearing a long robe, walked slowly in from the door of the bookstore.

The old man walked up to Li Chengze and immediately bowed and said, "My Lord."

Li Chengze knew that this old man was Jia Xu, who was known as the poisonous scholar.

From the looks of it, it's pretty ordinary. If you throw it into a crowd, no one would even take a second look at it.

Of course, don’t judge a person by his appearance. The more ordinary they look, the smarter they may be.

Li Chengze nodded to Jia Xu, then he stepped aside and stood with Xiang Yu.

At this time, Li Chengze asked the system: "System, are the rewards for signing in all characters?"

[That's not the case. The rewards the host gets after signing in will be based on demand. ]

[The characters are only part of it, and other items will also be involved. Please be patient. 】

Li Chengze suddenly realized that the rewards were not just characters, but also other items. He was looking forward to it.

Soon, the steward who had just left walked up to Li Chengze with a few brand new books in his arms.

"Second Prince, these books are all new works from the past few days, and they are all of good quality."

Li Chengze looked at the books in the steward's arms, then nodded and said, "I want all of these."

"Wenhe, pay."

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded in agreement, and immediately took out silver from his sleeve to buy the books.

Then, Li Chengze waved to Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao and Jia Xu and said, "Let's go."

Now that the sign-in reward has been completed, there is no need to stay here.

As for the books here, I have even less interest in them.

In his previous life, he was a librarian, dealing with all kinds of books every day, and the thing he had the most was books.

Soon, Li Chengze took the three of them and walked on the bustling streets.

It is the beginning of summer now and we have just finished breakfast. The weather is not too hot and there are more and more pedestrians on the street.

Li Chengze's outfit today was inconspicuous, an ordinary brocade robe and an ordinary man's hairstyle.

But he was a prince after all, born with noble looks and extraordinary handsomeness. Even if he was wearing coarse linen clothes, it could not conceal his aristocratic aura.

So, when Li Chengze walked on the street, many people cast curious glances at him.

Especially the young girls, when they saw him, they all looked infatuated with him.

Li Chengze ignored the gazes of passers-by and said to Jia Xu beside him: "Wenhe, this capital is quite lively."

He had seen this kind of ancient building in movies and TV dramas before, but after experiencing it in person, the feeling was indeed different.

More real.

Jia Xu gently waved the feather fan in his hand and nodded, "My lord, you are right." "After all, the capital is the center of Qing Kingdom. Products and elites from all regions gather here. It is hard not to be lively."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "That's true."

After a while.

When Li Chengze was walking on the street, the system in his mind sounded again.

[The next sign-in location is at the 'Liuyun Pavilion' in 'Zuixianju'. Please be ready in time. ]

Zuixianju?
After hearing the system's voice, Li Chengze immediately began to ponder.

He knows 'Zuixianju'.

Isn’t this the brothel where the supporting female character Si Lili lived in the original novel?
Si Lili was a descendant of the royal family of Nanqing, and her original name was Li Lisi.

Because of the political chaos in the court, the usurpation of power and the killing of family members one after another, she fled to Northern Qi with her brother.

Later, he was adopted by the Northern Qi royal family and sent to Nanqing as a spy to secretly transmit intelligence.

Finally, his identity was exposed and he was taken hostage and transported back to Northern Qi to be exchanged.

At this time, her identity should not have been exposed yet, and she continued to hide in "Zuixianju" and work as an oiran.

Li Chengze pondered for a moment, then asked Jia Xu beside him, "Wenhe, do you know where the 'Liuyun Pavilion' is?"

Jia Xu gently waved the white feather fan in his hand and nodded, "My lord, that 'Liuyun Pavilion' is exactly where the top singer in 'Zuixianju', the famous courtesan in Kyoto, lives."

"Could it be that the Lord also has such a refined taste and wants to see the elegance of this courtesan?"

Li Chengze nodded and said, "I've heard that the courtesan in Zuixianju loves poetry and songs, and her writing is quite good."

"We have nothing to do now, so let's go there for a walk."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Okay, since you want to go, I will lead the way."

"It just so happens that Zuixianju is not far from here, just across the street in front."

Afterwards, Li Chengze took Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, followed Jia Xu, and walked forward quickly.

After they walked down a street, they saw a broad river with many cruise ships parked on it.

Some young talents and young couples in love would take a cruise ship and slowly sail on the river.

On the upper left side of the river, there is a three-story building with gorgeous exterior decorations and lights. Above the gate, there is a plaque with three large characters "Zuixianju" inscribed on it.

At the door, there were many women with heavy makeup standing, smiling and pulling customers.

At this time, Jia Xu bowed to Li Chengze and said, "My lord, this is the Zuixianju."

Li Chengze looked up at the building and nodded thoughtfully.

Just looking at the decoration outside, it feels unusual and looks very much like some entertainment clubs in the previous life.

I just don’t know what’s going on inside.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

As soon as Li Chengze finished speaking, the four of them walked towards the main entrance of the building.

However, as soon as they reached the front door, the women who were soliciting customers immediately rushed over.

At this time, Jia Xu swung the white feather fan in his hand, stopped the women, and shouted:

"Come on, go on, go to the side and solicit customers."

"Do you think my young master will be interested in you?"

When those women saw Li Chengze, they found that he was indeed handsome and noble, not like an ordinary man, so they left reluctantly.

Li Chengze smiled without saying a word, followed Jia Xu and walked into the gate of Zuixianju.
