Chapter 55: The Red Sleeves in Chunmanlou (2)
Now the air is still hot today. Although it will be a little cooler at night, it is also very stuffy when wearing clothes and quilt. Although Li Mengzhou felt a little uncomfortable, he did not dare to act proactively and listened carefully to the voices in the room.
"Wanyi, don't blame me, this is impossible. You have been to Chunmanlou for a long time. You know what I do with you. What is not up to you? But you must have a degree. I can't support you for nothing. Now the wealthy and powerful masters in Muyang City want to see you. I'm afraid they will be willing to spend a lot of money."
"A woman, you always have to go through these things, not to mention that you are the courtesan of Chunmanlou now, and your status is there. I will definitely take care of you more. As long as you are willing, even if you only accept customers two or three times in the next month, I will not say anything, but the premise is that you have to be obedient and don't make it difficult for me to do it, otherwise I will have to do it."
"Don't use those tricks to threaten me. In this spring building, whoever I want to die will not be able to survive. If I want to live, you will not die anyway. I advise you not to waste your time. Now that the Grand Priest Award has begun, you can't help you. As long as you cooperate properly, the next thing will naturally be discussed."
Li Mengzhou, who heard these words clearly in the quilt, naturally understood what the situation is now. As long as he fell into the brothel, even a courtesan, he would have no choice but to do anything. He could still be relatively free at the beginning, but sooner or later he would become an ordinary brothel woman.
The iron courtesan, the flowing water.
The courtesan is just a name, and anyone can be a courtesan. The girl in the brothel cannot be a courtesan all her life. She will always be replaced by new people, while the old people must face the problem of picking up customers.
From the madam's words, Li Mengzhou could also guess that Lin Wanyi must be the Hongxiu girl, but according to what Li Mengzhou knows, the time for Hongxiu girl to come to Chunmanlou is not long. She is a courtesan, so she has to have three years to be free, just performing talents and not picking up customers.
So Miss Hongxiu is still a newcomer. Perhaps it is because Miss Hongxiu's fame is too loud in Muyang City, or perhaps someone revealed something to the madam and promised a price that she could not refuse at all, which made her think about it early.
Of course, people like the madam are extremely smart. The price promised by others is fixed. If you use the Grand Prize to attract all wealthy and powerful people, then you will compete with each other and the price may rise again, which is absolutely impossible for the madam to refuse.
There was only the voice of the madam in the room, and Lin Wanyi never spoke.
They must have said what can be said but not what they can be said many times, and Lin Wanyi was just resisting silently.
The madam said something harshly, then comforted her for a few more words, and then ordered the maids in the brothel to look at Lin Wanyi, and there were also servants guarding outside the door, while she hurried to deal with the arrival of the distinguished guests.
The room became very quiet.
Li Mengzhou, who was lying in the quilt, didn't know what was going on in the room now, and he still didn't move. After a moment, he heard some movement, and footsteps gradually approached the bed, which made him nervous for a moment, as if he was about to be caught in a bad thing.
The footsteps stopped in front of the bed.
Then the curtain was slowly opened.
......
In the Immortal Mansion Inn in Muyang City.
Xiao Zhinan held a sword in his arms and stood quietly in the yard, his eyes closed slightly, but the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth was floating faintly, and the sword energy came out of her sea of energy and surrounded her.
She is raising a sword in a visual state.
At this moment, Chen Zi pushed open the gate and walked in.
He looked at Xiao Zhinan, who closed his eyes and raised his sword, and said softly: "My junior brothers will be able to reach Muyang City around the 1st of tomorrow. Although there are only seven people, they all crossed the threshold of the four realms. It should play a key role in encircling and suppressing the mountain outsider."
Tianhu Taoist Mansion is a four-level sect. If you trace it back a long time, it still has some connection with the Beiyan Taoist Palace. There was a Taoist Palace cultivator who once came to Jiang Kingdom and founded the Tianhu Taoist Mansion. However, the Taoist Palace strongman had already left the Taoist Palace. Therefore, although Tianhu Taoist Mansion practiced the magical powers of the Taoist Palace, it was only of the same origin as the Taoist Palace, but it was not the same sect.
Moreover, the real understanding of the Taoist Palace has not been spread. The magical powers of the Tianhu Taoist Palace cannot be compared with the Beiyan Taoist Palace. As a result, the Tianhu Taoist Palace appeared in Jiang Kingdom for the first time in the first time, it also opened high and ended low, and could not cross the threshold of the five realms.
Chen Zidu was ordered by his master to lead seven junior brothers and sisters who had just seen the fourth realm and entered the world to practice. In addition to targeting people from outside the mountain, he also wanted to gain more knowledge.
Xiao Zhinan slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "It would be fine if the outsiders of the mountain did not move tonight, otherwise, your junior brothers and sisters would not have the chance to appear."
Chen Zidu frowned and asked, "What did Miss Xiao discover?"
Xiao Zhinan said: "In the place near East Street, there are a large number of practitioners gathering, but I have never observed a large number of practitioners there. It is very likely that people outside the mountain hide in the dark."
Chen Zidu said with a serious expression: "If he was really the outsider, he had been hiding so deeply for the past few days and suddenly exposed it at this moment. Does it mean that he is going to start acting on a certain target? If so, we can't wait any longer."
He was always wary of the stranger from the mountain outsider who was incomprehensible in his whereabouts. When he encountered him head-on, he was in a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak. The mountain outsider could clearly plunder his Qihai Lingyuan, but he chose to ignore it, as if there was something important to leave.
If there is really something that can make people outside the mountain feel that it is more important than plundering the Qi Hai Lingyuan, it will definitely be a very serious matter, and it will definitely be more beneficial to people outside the mountain.
"East Street?" Chen Zidu suddenly frowned and said in surprise: "Has Mr. Qi gone to Chunmanlou on East Street?"
They naturally heard about what happened to the Yang family, but they were not sure about the specific situation. However, before Li Mengzhou and Du Changgeng went to Chunmanlou, they asked the government officials to notify Xiao Zhinan and Chen Zidu.
If the mountain outsider appeared on East Street, could it be that he went specifically for Li Mengzhou?
When Chen Zidu said this, Xiao Zhinan replied lightly: "When the mountain outsider faces the Qihai Lingyuan of the Fourth Realm cultivator, how could he stand to plunder the Qihai Lingyuan, so how could he look down on Li Mengzhou?"
Chen Zi thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case. Although Li Mengzhou was Mr. Seven from the Palace Sword Academy, he had not crossed the threshold of the fourth realm. Except for the low-level mountain outsiders, although the mountain outsiders who have already entered the threshold of the fourth realm will not turn a blind eye, he has no interest in the practitioners of the third realm, and it is even more unreasonable to target them specifically.
But Chen Zi still felt something was wrong.
Because there are no powerful practitioners on the East Street except Li Mengzhou. People outside the mountain appeared there and even exposed their whereabouts. What was their intention?
......
In a room in Chunman Building, Li Mengzhou looked at Lin Wanyi with a wry smile. The maid who was originally guarding Lin Wanyi in the room was also knocked unconscious by Li Mengzhou at the first time. She was lying on the ground and was sleeping soundly.
The servant guarding outside the door didn't notice any movement in the room.
The moment Lin Wanyi lifted the curtain tent, Li Mengzhou knew that he could not escape, so he jumped out of the quilt. With a blink of an eye, he knocked out the maid who was so wide-eyed that she was about to exclaim out.
At this time, Li Mengzhou and Lin Wanyi were sitting on the bed, while the other stood in front of the bed, staring at each other.
The room was very quiet and weird.
"Miss Lin, do you still remember me?" Li Mengzhou, who was quite embarrassed, took the initiative to reach out and say hello.
Lin Wanyi nodded silently.
Of course she remembers Li Mengzhou.
Because the other party is a practitioner.
Li Mengzhou slowly got off the bed, coughed twice, and said, "I did not intend to hide here, but just came in after just climbing through the window and hearing the movements outside the door, he subconsciously entered the bed..."
"Climb the window?" Lin Wanyi blinked her eyes, and she realized at this moment, "Why did Mr. Li come in after rumoring about it?"
Li Mengzhou pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is Miss Lin the Flower Courtesan Hongxiu?"
Lin Wanyi lightly pointed her forehead and said, "I am Hongxiu, the name in Chunman Tower."
Li Mengzhou asked again: "Does that girl recognize Du Changgeng?"
Lin Wanyi was stunned for a moment, and her thoughts seemed to have suddenly floated elsewhere. After a long period of silence, she nodded and said, "I recognize it."
Li Mengzhou immediately smiled and said, "That will be much easier."
This is a waste of time.
He just wanted to sneak into Lin Wanyi's room by climbing through the window to sneak into Chunman Tower. Unexpectedly, Lin Wanyi was Hongxiu, which saved him a lot of time.
Lin Wanyi looked at Li Mengzhou in confusion and said, "What is Mr. Li talking about?"
Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "Du Changgeng should be in Chunman Tower now. He wants to take you out, and I happened to meet him, so I helped him. However, because there was only one gold coupon for the Courtesan Awards, we both couldn't come in, so I came to search the window. Now that I have seen you, I will just take you away."
Lin Wanyi's eyes shone with a hint of brightness, but soon became silent again and said, "Although the young master is a cultivator, Chunmanlou has a considerable background in Muyang City, and it is not easy to provoke. If the young master takes me away, he may cause trouble for the young master."
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, as if she had something else to say, but after hesitating for a while, she didn't speak again.
Li Mengzhou groped his chin and asked, "What is the background of Chunmanlou? Could it be that the order of Muyang City's mansion stands behind him?"
Although court officials cannot engage in business in person, they are OK in the name of their families. Jiang State does not control it strictly. As long as court officials do not do any bad business and harm the people, no one will pay attention to it.
