Chapter 140 How can people be so worthy(1/2)
A strange gurgling sound rang out.
Because everyone in the yard knows martial arts, they look at the source of the sound while being confused.
The second prince blushed and covered his stomach.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen anyone starving?" The second prince growled in anger.
Mo Li thought about it carefully and found that they spent a whole day in the palace. During this period, everyone ate nothing except some candied fruits that Meng Qi took from Wenyuan Pavilion. He and Meng Qi had no idea that they had high internal skills, and the second prince obviously couldn't hold on.
In fact, the second prince hasn't eaten anything decent for two days and two nights.
Lu Zhang suddenly ordered the city gates to be blocked and the palace was searched. The second prince summoned his subordinates in a hurry, so he had time to bring food. This is forcing the palace to rebel, not marching and fighting. There is no hope for failure in a short period of time. If you fail, you will die. What food should you need?
Although I am hungry, I will pass after I bear it.
In addition, the second prince was nervous and was determined to kill Lu Zhang, but he never thought about sacrificing the Five Insect Temple. After leaving the palace, he successfully entered the Mudanfang. The second prince, who relaxed and watched the fun, suddenly found that he was so hungry.
"you--"
The shopkeeper suddenly realized.
With the ability of Master Meng, those who walked with him could not be hungry at all. They came like this and brought a young man who was completely unaware of martial arts and suspected of being from a powerful man. Could it be that he was the main scheming criminal pursued by the Imperial Guard?
Meng Qi looked at him with a smile, and the shopkeeper immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.
"The guests come in. The guests are not well received by the Palace. I hope Master Meng will forgive me." The shopkeeper bowed his hand and took good care of Meng Qi and Mo Li very thoughtfully.
The old man with the wolf-headed birthmark suppressed his anger and said coldly: "It turns out that you are the former national master who has been rumored recently in Yongzhou. I don't know what internal skills the national master practices can keep his face alive."
With sarcasm, it is almost like saying that Meng Qi is a fraud; an impostor.
But if you impersonate a name, this martial arts is real.
After a meeting, all his subordinates were brought down. The old man considered himself no match, but he didn't even think about it.
The old man turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Fengxingge wants to watch the dishes and drive us out?"
"No, no, everyone comes to the door." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly, "The investigation in the market has been much more relaxed now. It is estimated that in a while, the Mudanfang will return to normal. The underground secret room is where our Fengxing Pavilion entertains distinguished guests and discusses news secretly. There are no extra beds and no one for residents. Why not all of you go to the small building to rest for a while? Don't worry about safety. There are many secret rooms in our Fengxing Pavilion, and the Imperial Guards can't find it out at all."
"Is that true?" Meng Qi was very interested.
The second prince also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. When he was treason, he took people to the secret passage into Wanhe Palace, but he encountered fire and medicine ambushing. The tragic scene was lingering in his mind. He really didn't want to enter the secret passage underground again in a short period of time.
At this time, Mo Li said, "Then lead the way. We are staying in the yard. It will be troublesome if we attract the attention of the Imperial Guards later."
The height of the courtyard wall of a private house is limited. Although you cannot see the inside of the yard outside the wall, you can easily lie on the wall by finding a footrest.
So not only can't fight, but it's even more trouble for everyone to speak louder.
The old man looked at Meng Qi hatefully. His subordinates were all lying on the ground, and he couldn't even leave. He could not see each other's identities, so he had to endure it.
The shopkeeper smiled and bowed, "Old Wolf is waiting for a while, I'll send Master Meng in first?"
The Fengxing Pavilion manager turned his back to Meng Qi and Mo Li, looking at the old man with a bitter look on his face, as if he "can't afford to provoke such evil stars when opening the door to do business", and blocked the old man's sarcastic words back.
The most powerful master is not only Fengxingge, but no one can afford to offend anyone.
The old man could only bear this tone and took the opportunity to investigate his subordinates' injuries to turn around. The shopkeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly led Meng Qi to the small building.
Meng Qi just used internal force to seal the qi holes of these people. Even if they were left alone, they could recover after a stick of incense as the qi and blood flowed in the human body.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and his expression gradually improved.
The second prince covered his stomach and followed Meng Qi honestly. He didn't dare to leave alone.
Mo Li looked at the old man thoughtfully for a while and finally entered the small building.
Fengxing Pavilion is open in Mudanfang, and of course it is not a seller of news on the surface. In fact, this is a bookstore called Fengyuezhai.
You can tell by the name that it is not selling serious books.
Stories, embroidered picture books, and spring palace pictures.
The most serious books in Fengyuezhai are probably piano scores and tea scores, which also cater to the needs of Mudanfang.
Business is very good on weekdays. If you have money to come to Mudanfang for free, of course you are not stingy with buying the latest love book. Love words. Read the popular love words recently. After all, not everyone has ink in their stomachs. When you are having fun, you can't just say one beautiful word, right? You can talk to friends with wine and meat, and you have to make love with the women in the brothel in Jiaofang. You should not know as much as possible.
This leads to Feng Yuezhai's books, some of which can only be sold for a few books a month, and the other needs to be printed before printing.
In the yard behind the shop, the small building is the place to print books.
The popular and popular books are printed quickly and well, and the unwelcome books and new ones are arranged in wood carved movable type. People in Fengxing Pavilion disguise themselves as work and printing books in bookstores, have household registration, are innocent, and will not be suspicious when entering and leaving the shop on weekdays.
Mo Li and Meng Qi first came to the door because they saw that the shopkeeper and the clerk in this shop were good at martial arts. In addition, Meng Qi said that there was a secret passage built underground in the shop and it was also very solid.
After a closer look, the patterns on the Fengyuezhai plaque look like Fengxing Pavilion written in large seal script.
Mudanfang, Fengxing Pavilion... There are suspicions!
Meng Qi went in and stopped the client. Mo Li naturally went around the backyard and the small building. While checking the situation, the people in Fengxing Pavilion slept unconsciously.
There are many picture books in the small building that are spread out to wait for ink to dry.
Meng Qi knew what the bookstore sold in the brothel near Chu Pavilion was selling, so he didn't care. Mo Li saw it just now when he came in, so he didn't care.
After all, in the eyes of the dragon vein, there is nothing good about people who are red and distorted.
But the second prince is different.
He looked at the books as he passed by, and was shocked.
The rules in the palace were strict, and the prince of Qi Dynasty lived a cowardly life. Except for the two big fist-sized activity dolls and a boring spring and palace albums sent by the Yeting Palace before getting married, the second prince Lu Min had never seen such a explicit thing.
It turns out that this kind of picture can draw characters outdoors!
It turns out that the person’s faces in the picture album can be fully drawn? Can he also draw expressions?
It turns out that such things are OK not to do in bed... Wait for this picture, it seems like a swing?
The second prince's face suddenly turned red, and he almost left the pile of books with his hands and feet, looking dazed.
"I seem to remember that he said before that his wife betrayed him?" Meng Qi was very surprised and even said to Mo Li with a message, "How come someone who has become a kinky boy is like a stinky boy?"
Mo Li shook his head, but he didn't understand.
The shopkeeper observed them secretly, and was very surprised at Lu Min's reaction. Whose powerful children hadn't read these picture books? No matter how strict the tutor was, they would inevitably go through some secretly. Although this person was young, he didn't look like a young boy who had never tasted it.
Strangely, I have never seen the fabric I wear, and there are still marks pressed from armor on the clothes. It is easy to think that it is related to the palace. Maybe it is the prince who has rebelled and forced the palace with one hand. However, when the prince saw a few pages of spring and palace albums, he was frightened and couldn't even walk smoothly?
This is a fake prince!
The shopkeeper complained in his heart, and soon he began to look at Mo Li with strange eyes.
——The more I walked, the more I could see that the people in the building were all asleep, making people unconscious. This skill was deeper than the fact that Meng Qi knocked down all the enemies in just one encounter.
So the person who has a faint smell of herbs is Master Meng?
Fortunately, it is Fengxing Pavilion here. The shopkeeper is the chief manager of the number one intelligence organization in the world, and there is nothing to be missing. The shopkeeper soon thought of a piece of news that it is said that Mr. Jinfeng offended a doctor dressed up expert in Yongzhou.
He is not a person who disguises himself as a doctor, because many people from the world have indeed met this doctor who wears a hat and cannot see clearly on the road. He has cured his illness from the other party. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a miracle doctor.
What's more coincidental is that rumors about the doctor almost emerged with the rumors about the national master of the previous dynasty.
The shopkeeper had a judgment in his heart. When he took the person to the second floor, unscrewed the hidden mechanism on the wall, and exposed a very elegantly arranged room, he greeted with a smile: "Master Meng, Doctor, please see if you are satisfied with this place."
As he said that, he demonstrated the entrance mechanism again, proving that the outside can be opened, and the inside can also be opened.
"Well, it's indeed Fengxing Pavilion." Meng Qi nodded casually.
A pun was to recognize the house and tell the shopkeeper that he did not admit his mistake.
The house is not big, but it is divided into three rooms.
The outer screen is short and the bed should be complete, and there is also a chessboard on the table.
The compartment is for changing clothes, and the last one is equipped with a step-drawing bed, and there is a small couch near the wall.
The step-drawing bed is very exquisite and is a skill of the southerners. Although the area is not large, the bed board and the pedal are carved patterns, and the curtains are hung with green cloud gauze, which smokes the Nanhe fragrance that helps sleep.
The second prince yawned involuntarily.
Even though he was sleepy, he felt like a mirror in his heart, and this bed would definitely not be his part.
With indescribable grievances, the second prince turned his eyes to the small couch that was so narrow that he could only lie on his side, thinking about such a way to not roll down from above.
"Stay in a hurry and get the money." Meng Qi reminded.
The second prince took out the silver notes after realizing it and asked with struggle: "Isn't this the money for renting a house?"
"If the Imperial Guards don't leave, where can we rent a yard?"
"Then...how much?"
The second prince took out a few thin silver notes, and finally took out a five-liang silver notes in pain and handed them to the shopkeeper.
Fengxing Pavilion Chief Manager: "..."
I must have guessed wrongly, how could a prince be like this stingy?
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face and respectfully took the silver note, as if it was not five taels but five hundred taels, which made the second prince feel much better.
"What do you call a distinguished guest?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.
"You can do it." The second prince Lu Min waved his hand and said calmly, "I can't do the job of making up names, and I don't want to spend this time."
To be continued...
