Chapter 111 Flower Boat!
"Young hero!"
"Although the scenery here is nice and the girls are pretty, compared to the girls on that motionless boat in the center of Liuhua Lake... hehe... although I've only seen them from afar once, I can guarantee that even one of the maids on that boat is prettier than some of the city's most beautiful courtesans!"
"It's just that getting on the ship is a bit difficult!"
The boatman looked at Xiao Bieli with an expression that every man understands.
Xiao Bieli also became interested and said:
Is it really that beautiful?
"Do we need to verify funds before boarding?"
In my past life, some high-end places really required verification of credentials to get in if you didn't have someone to guide you.
The boatman nodded:
"If you are a well-known figure in the martial arts world, you won't need to spend money; they will even invite you up."
"But if you're not, or not famous enough, then you'll have to pay for a door sticker."
"I heard that four years ago, Xiao Hong, a true disciple of the Lingxu Sword Sect, tried to board the boat with his long face... hehe... but he was thrown into the lake and lost all face."
"We haven't heard from Xiao Hong in the past four years. He must be too ashamed to show his face in Jiangnan Prefecture!"
Xiao Bieli became interested and said:
"In that case, let's go and take a look at the place you mentioned!"
Previously, Feng Si Niang had only told him that the contact point in Jiangnan Prefecture was on Liuhua Lake, and the marked boats were the temporary contact points.
However, no such markings were found on the waterway at this moment.
"Young hero, this is it!"
at last,
After an incense stick had burned, Xiao Bieli finally saw the motionless boat the boatman had mentioned.
It's less like a boat and more like a giant ship-shaped floating structure.
There are docks at both the bow and stern of the ship.
Small boats carrying people headed towards the ship.
"Ok!"
Xiao Bieli nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He discovered the Blood-Clad Tower's communication mark on the third lantern from the left on the large ship.
interesting!
Could it be that the imperial court and the Giant Spirit Gang are trying to annihilate this giant ship?
If this giant ship is entirely owned by the Blood-Clad Pavilion, then the Blood-Clad Pavilion is quite impressive!
Isn't making money on a flower boat more lucrative than being a killer?
He tossed a ten-tael silver ingot to the boatman, and with a light leap, landed on the dock of the large ship.
"Young hero!"
"Do you have a boarding pass?"
A tall, robust middle-aged man came forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Bieli, and said...
The middle-aged man had a big smile on his face and was very polite.
"Didn't you say one was enough?" Xiao Bieli handed a silver note with a face value of one thousand taels to the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man looked like a servant on a large ship, but he was actually a peak fifth-rank expert.
The middle-aged man took the banknote, checked its authenticity, and smiled:
"Please come in, young hero!"
"Young hero, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"
Xiao Bieli nodded:
"That's right, I'm from Yunzhou!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said:
"Yunzhou is indeed a place of outstanding people and abundant resources."
"However, young hero, did you come to this pleasure boat to experience a life of pleasure, or do you have something else to do?"
Xiao Bieli asked in surprise:
"What else can you do here besides find a place for pleasure?"
The middle-aged man laughed:
"As long as you want it, there's nothing my pleasure boat can't do."
After speaking, the middle-aged man took out a small booklet from his pocket, handed it to Xiao Bieli, and said:
"However, young hero, you are still so young. You may wish to experience the gentle embrace of my pleasure boat."
"These are all the beauties of my pleasure boat, and even the most beautiful women on my Jiangnan Prefecture's list of beauties."
"However, the price... well, it'll be a bit more expensive!"
"Although this painting was commissioned from the most famous painter in Jiangnan Prefecture, it can only capture eight-tenths of the spirit of the painting. I guarantee that the real person will be even more beautiful than the painting."
Xiao Bieli nodded. He had heard the boatman mention the Jiangnan Prefecture Beauty List earlier on the boat. It wasn't compiled by the Zhenwu Hall, but rather created by the people of Jiangnan Prefecture themselves. Those who made the list were all famous beauties of Jiangnan Prefecture.
Unfold the booklet, and you'll find it filled with pictures of beauties of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique charm.
Moreover, the prices are clearly marked.
The most expensive one is Chen Jingshu, who ranks second on the list of beauties. She costs five thousand taels of silver for one night. The package also includes a description of Chen Jingshu's background. She was once the only daughter of a fourth-rank master, but she was sent to the pleasure boat after her father died.
"Tsk tsk!"
Xiao Bieli clicked his tongue inwardly.
This price is not much different from the prices of some celebrities that were rumored online in my previous life.
He even suspected that the so-called "Beauty List" was created by the person behind the pleasure boat to inflate prices!
Xiao Bieli returned the booklet to the middle-aged man and asked:
"If I want to buy the life of a fourth-grade Grandmaster, is that possible?"
If the pleasure boat is truly connected to the Blood-Clad Tower, then killing is their primary job.
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Bieli and said in a deep voice:
"Even the weakest fourth-rank Grandmaster costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if it's someone on the Grandmaster Ranking, the price is astronomical!"
Xiao Bieli took out a stack of silver notes from his bosom. There were two notes worth ten thousand taels, and the rest were notes worth one thousand taels and five hundred taels.
The middle-aged man only needed to glance at it to determine that there were at least 50,000 taels of silver notes inside.
This is a big client!
"Distinguished guest, please follow me!" The middle-aged man smiled again.
He led Xiao Bieli toward the interior of the flower boat.
The flower boat has five decks and a large interior space.
Although it wasn't yet the busiest time for the flower boats, there were already quite a few people there.
The first and second floors were the most crowded. Although it wasn't as the boatman had described, where every maid was an absolute beauty, under the dim lighting, there weren't many flaws to be found.
As for those women who accompany customers at drinks, in my previous life, they would have been in the 3,000 yuan for two hours category.
The middle-aged man laughed:
"After you've finished negotiating, young hero, you can come downstairs and relax for a bit."
"The bottom two floors are filled with ordinary women, the third floor is the core of my pleasure boat."
Xiao Bieli nodded.
The two made their way to the fifth floor.
Along the way, Xiao Bieli could clearly sense that dozens of skilled individuals were hidden in the shadows, the weakest of whom were all seventh-rank, and there were even two grandmasters in charge of the pleasure boat.
After arriving on the fifth floor
The middle-aged man stopped in his tracks. A maid bowed to Xiao Bieli and then led him to the end of the corridor.
A creak!
The innermost door opened, revealing one of the two fourth-rank grandmasters from the pleasure boat sitting inside.
An old man with white hair and beard, and bluish-black palms.
Upon seeing Xiao Bieli, the old man stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Bieli, and said:
"I am Ji Ming, the manager of the pleasure boat!"
"I heard you want to buy the life of a fourth-grade Grandmaster?"
