Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 215 Spring rain falls in Chang'an, willows along the Ba River are like smoke

The social environments faced by Yun Ce and Yun Linchuan are significantly different.

Therefore, there is no comparison in terms of the urgency of changing society and saving the masses. Yun Linchuan felt that if he did not stand up, the country and the nation would fall into ruin.

Yun Ce believes that if he steps forward, this prosperous country will definitely decline because of his actions.

For a scion of a prominent family, being a manager in a brothel is perfectly fine. If you have nothing to do, don't try to change or promote anything according to your own wishes. That would be not only meaningless but also unnecessary.

During periods of prosperity, it's good for everyone to be more tolerant, more relaxed, and work together to maintain the current momentum of development. To think about making major changes during a period of prosperity is truly absurd.

Of course, how you change your sex life is up to you.

Gouzi has always criticized Yun Ce for his lack of revolutionary will. There's nothing that can be done about it. He's only been in the Great Han World for a little over a year, and he already feels he's done a lot. But in Gouzi's opinion, it's still far from enough.

Yun Ce certainly knew what true revolutionaries were like. They had long since dedicated themselves to the country and had no personal life of their own. When they were extremely exhausted, they might miss their lovers, write down their feelings on a piece of paper, drink a cup of tea, eat a few peanuts, and then throw themselves back into their work.

They know everything, but they'd rather die than change their ways.

Yun Ce knew he couldn't do it; the reason he had achieved what he had was because of the same blood flowing through his veins as Yun Linchuan.

Therefore, after being carefully groomed by the dog, Yun Ce saw his reflection in the water and finally remembered that this was how he was supposed to look and live a life that matched his handsome appearance.

Before it was bathed, the chestnut horse was worth about a hundred taels of gold. Even that price was only given because it was a Thunder Smoke Beast.

After being bathed and thoroughly groomed by the dog with its tentacles, this creature's fur was shimmering, and every muscle beneath it pulsated with powerful rhythm. Coupled with its pair of bright, sparkling eyes, one wouldn't even be qualified to touch it without a fortune.

Yun Ce rode on the back of his cheerful chestnut horse, both he and the horse were in high spirits. Of course, if he were followed by a hundred or so fierce servants, his persona as a noble young master would be firmly established.

Qilipu, as the name suggests, is a rest stop seven miles away from Xiangcheng.

In the north, leaving the protection of a city and establishing a settlement on their own in the wilderness is not something an ordinary person can do, especially in a place only seven miles from a city. The people they serve are definitely not normal people.

Normal people and normal caravans would go directly into Xiangcheng and would never rest seven miles away from the city.

Yun Ce had heard people in the city talk about Qilipu, but although everyone had heard that it was a good place, no one had actually been there, and everyone had a different version of what they heard.

Former officials in Xiangcheng said that Qilipu was a very evil place, and the government had tried to deal with it for many years, but each time it ended in failure.

The caravan manager said that Qilipu was a bloodsucking place. No matter how wealthy or powerful a caravan was, it would leave Qilipu completely empty-handed.

Some locals who delivered goods to Qilipu said that Qilipu was a good place. Every time they went there, the wages they were paid were more than in other places. However, they were not allowed to wander around or look at things indiscriminately.

Yun Ce rode his chestnut horse into Qilipu, wanting to see it for himself.

Qilipu is actually quite nice. It's a place with lush trees and clear water. The main building is a large inn, and the Weimeiju restaurant that Yanfei mentioned is right next to this large inn.

The inn is a wooden structure; to be precise, it is a huge building made of large logs, with a very exotic feel.

Perhaps Yun Ce arrived too early, for there was no one at the entrance of the inn, nor were there any of the timid, shifty-eyed people Yun Ce had imagined.

Yun Ce dismounted beside a clump of bamboo, and a woman with a cloth turban on her head and a bamboo basket slung over her arm walked out of the woods.

Upon seeing Yun Ce, he called out from afar, "Young Master, are you looking for a place to stay?"

Yun Ce smiled and said, "That's right."

The woman continued, “Young master, you don’t really need to stay here. This place is simple and you will be treated poorly. You only need to continue for another seven miles to reach Xiangcheng.”

Yun Ce shook his head and said, "I came from Xiangcheng. It had just experienced war. I managed to escape from Xiangcheng and wanted to rest in this elegant place to calm my flustered mind."

As the woman approached, Yun Ce sighed inwardly the moment he saw her, cupped his hands, and asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

The woman smiled charmingly, and unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, saying to Yun Ce, "Tch, I am the daughter of a good family, not the shopkeeper's daughter that you think I am."

Yun Ce had never seen a bad girl call herself a bad guy before, so he chuckled and said, "I see that you are quite beautiful, so I would like to know your name and see if it matches your appearance."

"Liu Ruyan, my name is Liu Ruyan."

Yun Ce gave a thumbs up and said, "Spring rain falls in Chang'an, willows sway like smoke on the Ba River, truly a good name."

Liu Ruyan bowed and asked, "May I ask your name, young master?" "Liu Chang'an, a man who wanted to stay in Chang'an but couldn't."

"Sigh, obscene!"

"Why is it obscene?"

"Young master, do you think you can insult me ​​just because you think I don't understand poetry? What do you mean by 'Spring rain falls in Chang'an, willows on Ba River are like smoke'? How can spring rain fall in Chang'an, and how can willows on Ba River turn into smoke? It's a shame that you, young master, are so quick-witted that you can come up with such lewd and vulgar words so easily."

Seeing that there was hope, Yun Ce stepped forward and took Liu Ruyan's hand, saying, "If you take pity on me, young lady, you will know tonight how the rain falls in Chang'an and how the willows on the Ba River turn into smoke."

Liu Ruyan shook off Yun Ce's impatient hand and spat out again, "Young master, you're so eager for sex, aren't you afraid of Qilipu..."

Before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, Yun Ce stepped forward and picked her up in his arms. As he walked toward the inn, he said with a smile, "People say that Qilipu is a notorious den of extravagance and a graveyard for heroes. I came here today to see for myself. I never expected that my soul would be out of my body the moment I saw you, young lady. Hurry, hurry, after many days of suffering in Xiangcheng, today is the end."

Liu Ruyan somehow managed to slip away from Yun Ce's embrace with the silky smoothness of a snake. Standing in front of Yun Ce, she raised her hand to stroke his cheek and said, "Young master, you are quite handsome."

Originally, Liu Ruyan thought Yun Ce would continue to be captivated by his beauty, but unexpectedly, Yun Ce raised his hand and slapped Liu Ruyan hard across the face. Before Liu Ruyan could react, he kicked her in the stomach.

Seeing Liu Ruyan lying on the ground convulsing in pain, he grabbed her hair and lifted her up, staring into her eyes and said, "I came to Qilipu to play with others, and you actually tried to play with me? You're just a prostitute, I'll give you a taste of your own medicine, and you've actually started to run a brothel."

No sooner had he finished speaking than three more heavy punches landed on Liu Ruyan's chest and abdomen, causing her to vomit blood. Only then did he drag her by the hair towards the inn.

Upon entering the inn, Yun Ce found many people sitting in the hall. He ignored them, tossed a piece of gold onto the counter, and said to the woman behind the counter, "One superior room. Do not disturb before sunset."

The woman sitting deep behind the counter, whose features were obscured, said, "Young master is being too domineering. Love between a man and a woman is best when both parties are mutually attracted."

Yun Ce pulled Liu Ruyan up, looked into her eyes and asked, "Aren't we mutually in love?"

Liu Ruyan was already sore and weak from Yun Ce's kick and three punches that her internal organs were moving. She couldn't speak, but in her extreme anger, she spat a mouthful of bloody saliva at Yun Ce.

Yun Ce turned his head away and said to the shopkeeper behind the counter, "Look, aren't we mutually in love?"

"This is Qilipu, young master, are you really going to ignore it all?"

Yun Ce suddenly approached the counter, and the woman inside quickly retreated. Yun Ce couldn't see her face clearly, so he shook his head and said, "Judging from your voice, you should be a beauty. But never mind, I can't see your face clearly, so I can't judge your beauty or ugliness. If you're an ugly woman, that would be too disgusting. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I'll eat you first."

After saying that, he dragged Liu Ruyan toward the back of the inn.

A burly, dark-skinned man wearing a fur coat suddenly threw it open, revealing a two-foot-long dagger in his hand. The next moment, the dagger was aimed straight at Yun Ce's back.

Yun Ce dodged to the side, his right hand already gripping the back of the knife. With a snap, the short knife broke, and the burly man's body lurched forward. The right hand that had just broken the short knife struck the burly man's chest heavily, the sound of the sternum breaking was audible. Yun Ce chuckled and continued to pull Liu Ruyan by the hair as he walked inside.

The burly man's body flew backward, smashing a table before sliding to a corner of the wall and falling silent.

The woman behind the counter finally came into the light; she was beautiful.

Even the impatient Yun Ce couldn't help but stop and look at the beautiful woman whose anger had reached its peak with a half-smile.

"who are you?"

"Liu Chang'an!" The beauty's angry appearance was also quite a sight. Yun Ce casually tossed Liu Ruyan aside like trash and looked the beauty up and down with an evil gaze.

After observing for a while, even Yun Ce had to admit that the appearances of the Gui Fang people were truly outstanding. Liu Ruyan was beautiful, but the female shopkeeper in front of him was even more beautiful.

It seems that the advantages of hybridization are very clearly manifested in them.

"Why have you come?" the woman asked, barely suppressing her anger.

"Having heard that a batch of treasures is buried here, someone couldn't resist the urge and came first."

Seeing that the man who had just been punched by Yun Ce had stopped trembling, the female shopkeeper suppressed her anger and bowed to Yun Ce, saying, "There are only some weak women here trying to make a living. We don't have the money you need, young master. But if you insist, I have some savings here."

Yun Ce smiled and shook his head, looking at the female shopkeeper and said, "Gui Fang women have always liked to come to Han lands to borrow seed, what do you think of me?"

　I've landed in Hainan, and will live in seclusion from now on. I'll pay back all my debts and give you back my monthly pass.
