    Chapter Index

    Feng de-evilly leaned down from the back and laughed coldly and hoarsely in his ear, “If you were truly unperturbed, why did you wait for me to reveal the name of my contact before leaving the torture chamber?”

    Shen Qi slapped the round table in pieces with a palm, popped up and slid forward at the same time, drew his sword and slashed backward with his backhand.

    The light of the blade was snowy and the aura of the blade was biting, but it only cut through the silent air of a room.

    Shen Qi turned his head sideways and stared at the empty room, his expression couldn’t say whether it was fierce or grave.

    The brocade guards standing guard under the corridor heard a loud noise in the house and pushed the door and rushed in, “My lord, what happened?”

    “…… Nothing, you guys clean up the floor.” Shen Qi slowly took the knife back into its sheath and turned to leave the flower hall.

    Walked to the court, the cold wind came to the face, such as ten thousand clusters of fine needles acupuncture skin, the chest of the surge of murderous gas just calmed down a little.

    Feng de-villain is dead, and that heavenly and dangerous secret will be buried with him forever in the darkness of the Imperial Prison where the sun does not shine.

    Having decided to leave it untouched, the heart shouldn’t falter unless ……

    No, it hasn’t come to that yet, Shen Qi said to himself. Don’t forget that Qinghe had placed all his bets on Crown Prince Zhu Helin. Even if he was really planning to lift the entire gambling table, he still had to ask him what he meant beforehand.

    King Yu’s Mansion.

    Early in the morning, thirty-six guards and servants who had just joined the mansion formed a square formation and stood on the martial arts field.

    The guards are all practiced, all feet open, chest and stomach, stand straight. Compared to the servants are much more constricted, each habitual waist lowered to look at the feet, the atmosphere does not dare to gasp.

    Yu Wang in a purple tang color woven gold coiled dragon cloud and sea pattern trailing spread, wrist tied hard leather arm guards, black hair bundled in the head said: “small red ah, you come to our yard also some days it.”

    “It’s only the seventh day, not counting some days.”

    The bawdess choked for a moment, “At that time, we agreed that you sold your body to bury your father, and it was only because of my good intentions that I promised you that I wouldn’t take any customers during the mourning period. But I do this is also a subsistence business, really can not support the bare food does not work, do you see–“

    Xiao Hong interrupted the bawd, her voice brittle and hard, a little lower and colder than an ordinary woman’s, “You’re in a hurry to make money?”

    Bustard choked again, “This, who does not want to make money ah? You don’t make money, what do you eat and drink, let’s say you turn around and visit your father’s grave, offerings–“

    Little Red interrupted the bawd again, “Just for tonight.”

    “-can’t even afford …… what, tonight?”

    “Right. But the guests are picked by me. Tonight I’ll stand on the second-floor outside porch across from the front door and cast this beaded flower at whomever I please.”

    After the bawd was stunned, her heart blossomed with joy: “Good, mom will go to prepare, so that more noble guests can compete for the first prize – I can say this in advance, if you fancy a poor boy who can’t afford to pay for the grooming fee, I won’t agree to it!”

    “Don’t worry, I can watch people.” Dropping a stiff line, Red walked into the room and closed the door very dryly.

    Bawdler puked a mouthful of: “noble a fart! It’s not all for sale …… But it’s good, many officials eat this set, the more noble the more popular. The old lady suffers a little bit of anger on it, the future has silver into the account on the line.”

    The bawdess thumped and rushed downstairs to make preparations. Inside the room, Xiao Hong took off her veiled bucket hat, revealing a heavily made-up and charming face.

    “She walked over to the table and drew an eight-petaled red lotus-like pattern on the paper, comparing it to the pattern she remembered and realizing that the length of the petals was subtly different.

    In the previous pattern, the eight petals were long on the outside and short on the inside, but in the pattern found this morning, the petals are long on the inside and short on the outside, so I don’t know exactly what it means. Is it based on the length of the petals, and conveys a different message?

    “She quickly memorized the new pattern and then burned the page with a candle flame.

    This time, never let the floating sound slip out from under your nose, make sure you follow the trail and find out who is behind the contact.
