Chapter 97 Sang Wen and Guo Baokun (asking for monthly ticket)

Tianshangjian is a famous music house in Kyoto.

Among them, the most famous is Miss Sang Wen, the top girl in Tianshangjian.

She was a singer with real talent. With her beautiful voice, she roamed around the royal residences in Kyoto. She was a noble person who would sell her art but not her body.

She went out of town today to perform at a manor on the eastern outskirts of the city.

That was the suburban manor of Zhang Daohe, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. But when Sang Wen arrived there, he found that Lord Zhang had already left because of some business in the city.

Afterwards, Sang Wen only received fifty taels of silver as a visiting fee and is now on his way back home.

Safety is guaranteed near Kyoto City.

Even when he went out of the city to sing, Sang Wen only brought two guards with him.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only three of them. There are also porters, maids, grooms, musicians, etc., a total of nearly twenty people.

After all, singing a song is not just about standing there and being done with it; you also need a stage and musical accompaniment.

Some high-level performances also require dancers to accompany the music.

The group was not walking fast. As they were walking, Sang Wen suddenly shouted, "Stop."

"What's wrong?" A guard immediately came up and asked.

“There is singing.”

"Singing?" The guard looked confused, he heard nothing.

Sang Wen waved his hand and said, "Let everyone stop!"

Soon the carriage stopped and Sang Wen listened carefully.

She had very sensitive ears and was born with strong hearing. She vaguely heard a series of strange tones behind the woods on the left.

As she listened, she subconsciously walked towards that direction.

But after only a few steps, the sound disappeared.

"Mr. Sang, there is no one in the woods over there, so how could there be singing?" A guard came over and advised.

Sang Wen ignored it and listened again, but heard nothing.

Finally, she shook her head helplessly and returned to the sedan chair.

"lets go."

So the group continued on their way.

at the same time.

Qin Feng was looking very happy beside the pond deep in the woods.

After a period of improvement, he finally created the Lion Roar Technique.

Lion's Roar Skill【Minor Achievement】（Proficiency: 21/30）

This technique is the same as the Lion's Roar Technique in his memory, both of which are extremely lethal martial arts.

It can attack over a wide range, but its power is relatively weak, and the specific power is related to the distance.

If someone is within three meters and is caught off guard, even a ninth-rank warrior may be injured.

It can also perform single-target attacks, just like an air cannon, which is very powerful. When used at full power, the power of its roar is comparable to a blow from a lower ninth rank.

But the attack distance is limited, and there will be no damage beyond five meters.

Also, this Lion Roar Skill has a shortcoming, which is that the pre-swing is a bit high compared to other martial arts.

After all, other martial arts release true energy directly, but the Lion Roar Kung Fu requires the true energy to be gathered in the throat first, and then the mouth must be opened to make a sound to be powerful.

This bit of pre-swing makes no difference when dealing with ordinary warriors.

But when facing a master, others will be able to react.

Therefore, Qin Feng's definition of this martial art is that it can strike the enemy unexpectedly.

Of course, in addition to its killing capabilities, it also has a very powerful function, which is that it speaks very loudly.

It's like there's a big speaker in your mouth. When you speak into the pond, there's an echo and it has its own reverberation.

This feeling was like being in a KTV, and it immediately brought back memories of his college days.

He couldn't help but sing a few lines of songs here, which can be regarded as an alternative way of venting.

But he stopped after a few lines, which felt a bit silly.

"This Lion's Roar skill is only useful when you speak loudly."

Shaking his head, Qin Feng walked towards the east city gate.

Of course, he would not go into the city now. Instead, he planned to have a meal, and then find a place to practice for half a day in the afternoon, and then go into the city after dark.

When walking out of the woods and onto the official road, Qin Feng saw a group of rather special people who looked like actors.

On the side of the carriage in the middle, three large characters were engraved: Tianshangjian.

Qin Feng had heard this name from Fan Ruoruo. A few days ago, Fan Ruoruo came to him and in addition to explaining various news in Kyoto to him, she also told him about the famous places in Kyoto.

Tianchangjian is one of them, and it seems to be a music hall?
Are these people musicians?
There was a pretty woman in the window of the carriage, who was lifting the curtain and looking outside.

Qin Feng happened to look into his eyes.

But he didn't look at it for long. After a quick glance, he continued walking forward.

The woman who lifted the curtain was Sang Wen.

She looked at Qin Feng, who was dressed in a blue shirt and looked unrestrained, and wondered in her mind, is this the person who was singing just now?

The other person came out of the woods, which was the direction where she had heard the singing before. And why would this man dressed like a young man go into the woods?

But she couldn't confirm this matter. While she was thinking about this, she looked ahead and saw that Qin Feng had already gone far away.

Soon, Qin Feng stopped at the door of a restaurant outside the city gate.

"Sir, please go to the second floor. There are seats available." The waiter immediately led Qin Feng upstairs.

Now it’s almost dinner time and the first floor is full, with only seats available on the second floor.

Qin Feng was lucky, there was a seat near the window, so he sat down directly.

"Half a pound of braised beef, a pot of shochu, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold dishes, and three of our signature dishes."

Qin Feng directly ordered an exclusive set meal for Master Jin Yong.

Now he has a big appetite and can eat so much.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter hurried downstairs to talk to the kitchen.

At this time, Qin Feng looked outside through the window and just saw Tian Shangjian and his group passing by the restaurant.

Qin Feng took a quick glance and ignored it, as his attention was soon attracted by the scene in the distance.

They are people from the Thirteen City Gate Department, who are specifically in charge of the city gates.

They had just received a notice from the Ministry of Rites that the Dongyi City delegation was about to arrive at the East Gate, so they were sealing the gate in advance.

The people from the City Gate Department rode their horses and shouted as they ran out of the city.

"The Dongyi City delegation is about to arrive, the East City Gate is closed for one hour!"

"The Dongyi City delegation is about to arrive, the East City Gate is closed for one hour!"

Although it was more than 200 meters away, Qin Feng could still hear it clearly. It was nothing more than blocking the city gate.

The delegation from Dongyi City is about to arrive, and it seems that the delegation from Northern Qi is not far away either.

Because the city gates were sealed, everyone who was originally planning to enter the city was pushed back a distance.

In addition, it was already an hour and it was also dinner time, so a lot of people immediately poured into the restaurant outside the city gate and the second floor was also full.

"Sir, your braised beef, liquor, peanuts and cold dishes are ready. Please enjoy your meal. The signature dishes will be here soon."

At this time, the waiter brought the dishes to Qin Feng's table.

He picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in a little chili, put it in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

The taste of the beef itself is not outstanding, but it is also quite satisfactory. However, the chili is the soul of the dish. Together with the beef, the taste is fully layered, which is good enough to be considered excellent. A bite of beef, a sip of soju, and a peanut are really enjoyable.

No wonder those heroes love to eat this, it turns out it’s really delicious!
However, after eating only a few bites, the movement at the stairs attracted Qin Feng's attention.

"It's Sangwen!"

"Who?"

"Sang Wensang, from Tianshang!"

"The one who sings the song!"

Hearing the shouts of the diners on the first floor, the diners on the second floor also looked at them in awe.

And from the stairs leading to the second floor, there was the sound of footsteps.

She was a young lady wearing a dark green gown, with long flowing hair and a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes, searching for a suitable seat on the second floor.

She was accompanied by a maid who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. As soon as the two of them appeared, they attracted the attention of the diners.

"Is this Miss Sangwen?"

"She's so beautiful, so it should be. I heard that she sings for the princes and nobles. It's really rare to see her."

There were no seats left on the second floor at this time, but there was one person sitting at each table.

Sang Wen looked around and saw a familiar figure by the window. His eyes lit up and he walked over immediately.

"My daughter Sang Wen greets you, sir. I see you are alone. Can you sit at the same table with me?" Sang Wen said with a slight bow.

Qin Feng looked up at her, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Sharing a table for meals is a very normal thing in Qin Feng's opinion.

And he also remembered that this person was the woman he had seen on the carriage with the three words "Tian Shang Jian" engraved on it.

Sangwen?

Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Qin Feng knew that this was a singer, and she sang specifically for princes and nobles, and she looked quite beautiful.

"May I know your name, sir?" Sang Wen asked as he sat down.

Although the diners around were still talking at this time, since everyone had already sat down, no one came over to talk to them.

"My surname is Qin."

As Qin Feng spoke, his hands kept moving, picking up food and putting it into his mouth.

"May I ask, Master Qin, do you know anything about music?"

When Sang Wen asked the question, the maid had already gone to order food.

"I don't know much about this." Qin Feng said calmly.

Isn't it him? Who is singing that song?

Sang Wen felt a little disappointed, but she did not act rudely and continued talking to Qin Feng.

As a great singer, Sang Wen was able to move among princes and nobles, and he also created a persona of being noble and selling his art but not his body.

This cannot be achieved simply by singing well.

Sang Wen is a good talker and good at observing details. Chatting with Qin Feng at this time makes people feel very cordial.

After eating for a while, there was a bustle outside.

Qin Feng turned his head and saw someone coming out of Kyoto City, walking on the official road not far from the restaurant.

"They are from the Ministry of Rites. The leader is the Minister of Rites, Mr. Guo Youzhi, and next to him is his son Guo Baokun. The one next to him is the Vice Minister of Rites, Mr. Li Haiyun."

Noticing that Qin Feng seemed interested in these people, Sang Wen explained.

"What are they doing?" Qin Feng asked.

Sang Wen explained: "Although Dongyi City is not big and cannot be considered a country, it is ruled by Grandmaster Si Gu Jian. Therefore, the delegation represents the Grandmaster's reputation, which is equivalent to a country."

"Qing State naturally needs the Minister of Rites to personally come out of the city to welcome them, so as not to lose etiquette."

"Should we also welcome the Northern Qi delegation in this way?" Qin Feng asked again.

At the same time, he thought to himself: Sang Wen knows a lot.

"Yes."

Sang Wen said: "After Lord Guo welcomes the Dongyi City delegation into Kyoto, he will head to the North Gate to prepare to welcome the Northern Qi delegation."

"He's quite busy." Qin Feng laughed.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites team outside stopped moving forward. The distance was almost enough.

Going out of the city to greet someone is a courtesy, and the farther out of the city you go, the more courteous it is.

Dongyi City cannot compare to Northern Qi after all, but the distance is enough now.

"Guo Baokun is also known as a talented scholar."

"Him?" Sang Wen's words made Qin Feng sneer and almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

"Master Qin knows him?" Sang Wen asked.

Looking at Qin Feng's appearance, she knew he was not an ordinary boy, he must be rich or noble!

Such people are potential customers of their Tianchangjian, so naturally they want to make friends with them.

And now, judging from Qin Feng's performance, his identity seems to be very unusual, even Guo Baokun dares to laugh at him.

"I don't know him, but calling him a genius is a bit too much. I think the title of smart guy is very suitable for him."

Think about Guo Youzhi’s evaluation of his son: There is absolutely no possibility of this!
Qin Feng felt that the title of Great Congming was very suitable for him!
"Great intelligence? This person is as smart as a big river? Mr. Qin, this title is clear and concise, it's a really good title!" Sang Wen exclaimed.

Praising others is often the best way to get closer to them.

When I talked to Qin Feng before, I couldn’t find an opportunity to praise him, but now I finally found it.

"Can it be explained this way?" Qin Feng was slightly stunned. He shook his head and said nothing more.

At this time, Qin Feng saw Guo Baokun walking towards his restaurant and went straight to the second floor.

Guo Baokun followed his father out just to see the world.

It is the same if you see it downstairs or on the second floor of the restaurant, where the view is even wider.

So, Guo Baokun came to the second floor.

This guy is not alone, there is a follower named He Zongwei following him.

This guy got closer to Guo Baokun by flattering him, and now he is always with Guo Baokun, acting as his lackey.

Speaking of which, He Zongwei does have some abilities, but most of them are used to gain personal connections.

As soon as Guo Baokun went up to the second floor, his eyes were attracted by the table of Qin Feng and Sang Wen.

On the one hand, this table has the best view, and on the other hand, Sang Wen and Qin Feng are a pair that really attracts attention.

"Are you Sang Wen?" Guo Baokun seemed to have seen Sang Wen before and recognized her.

"Mr. Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your daughter Sang Wen has met you, Mr. Guo."

Guo Baokun's father is the Minister of Rites, who is in charge of places like Tianshangjian. Sang Wen naturally did not dare to be negligent and quickly stood up and saluted.

"you are?"

Sang Wen had stood up, so Qin Feng, who was sitting next to him, became more conspicuous. Guo Baokun immediately asked out of curiosity.

He Zongwei was a man with good eyesight. He saw that Qin Feng was not an ordinary person, so he bowed and asked, "May I ask who you are, sir?"

"Me? I'm just a passerby, you guys just chat, don't bother with me." Qin Feng shrugged.
