Jiang Ni didn't care about the ifs and interrupted his daydream. She snorted and said, "In the end, you still have to hide here like a stray dog."
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "If I'm a stray dog, how much better are you? Wouldn't we be a cheating couple? "
For the first time, Jiang Ni didn't talk back. She remained silent.
Hsu Fengnian sat up with difficulty and looked at the lights outside the window. "Tuoba Bodhisattva will definitely recover faster than me. With Li Mibi who is good at killing and setting up ambushes, we can only delay and go south. We can only wait for Xu Yanbing and Tantai Pingjing to bring people south and force Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi to give up. I believe that in at most half a day, the two of them will give up and secretly return to Northern Mang. This gamble is very risky for both sides. Even if Li Mibi is willing to take Tuoba Bodhisattva and gamble with me, Beimang won't agree. Tuoba Bodhisattva knows the severity of the situation. "
Jiang Ni coldly asked, "When will you be able to walk on the ground?"
Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly and said, "It will probably take another two days. Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi will probably only need one day to follow the tracks to Snow Lotus City. This means that you will probably have to fight again. Of course, this is the worst outcome. If my luck is not so bad, they might already be on their way back to the north."
Hsu Fengnian suddenly looked tired and said helplessly, "But my luck doesn't seem to be very good now."
Jiang Ni frowned and said, "How can you ask people for Snow Lotus with your half-dead appearance?"
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "Don't tell me you think that there is no place for Beiliang to hide our strength in Snow Lotus City?"
Jiang Ni couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Is this inn run by a spy from Beiliang?"
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Do you think it will be so shabby?"
Jiang Ni, who hated being led by the nose by this guy, glared at him.
Hsu Fengnian leaned against the bed and said with a smile, "Can I trouble you to ask the old innkeeper for supper?"
Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, but still went downstairs to ask for a portion of food from the unlucky old man with the slanted eyebrows. Then, she asked for an extra room on the third floor. Since the inn didn't ask for any money from them from the start to the end, she felt at ease and acted extravagantly. Xu Fengnian only saw the old innkeeper enter the room with the food box, but did not see her figure. She let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Innkeeper, don't worry. I won't shortchange you for the accommodation. I don't know if the innkeeper has any connections at the Snow Lotus House. I heard that the Snow Lotus House in Snow Lotus City is a first-class brothel in the southern part of the Western Regions. Whether you can buy Snow Lotus here depends on fate, but whether you can eat the women of the Snow Lotus House depends on whether you have enough money in your pocket. As for me, I have a little bit of money. I want to take advantage of the fact that we are sleeping in separate rooms and take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a trip to Snow Lotus City worth it … "
The aged shopkeeper immediately smiled knowingly, but he soon frowned and said cautiously, "To tell you the truth, the inns and restaurants in the city all have these big and small connections. They just think about how to serve the guests well, and how to come and go in high spirits. Since the Old Man's Pleasure Inn dares to use such a name, of course, we have our own methods. However, Young Master may not know that the girls in the Snow Lotus Tower are very arrogant, just like the concubines in the palace. No matter what status they have, those girls will not go out of the tower to receive guests. However, the girls from the other families are not so particular. This Old Man can make connections with them and let them come here prettily without anyone noticing. I guarantee that Young Master won't know about it. Moreover, Young Master's taste can also be decided in advance. Taking a step back, if Young Master is afraid that they are not to your taste, this Old Man can also sell my old face and let them come here more. Young Master can choose the ones that you like … Young Master, what do you think? "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said with a smile, "Forget about the girls of the other alleys. We are eating the signature of the Snow Lotus House. Whether the girls are beautiful or not is not the most important thing. When we go back, we can brag about it to our brothers. Otherwise, we can eat anywhere. Can the girls of Snow Lotus City really be more beautiful than the courtesans of the Central Plains? Innkeeper, don't you think this makes sense? "How about this? Shopkeeper, I used to have a friend who was a regular customer of the Snow Lotus House. He spent thousands of taels of silver there. You go to the brothel keeper of the Snow Lotus House and tell her that there is a friend of Young Master Xu in Fushui Prefecture who wants to have a drink with the courtesans in the house. Let them pay the price. As long as they dare to bid, I will dare to bid." Innkeeper, as long as you pass the message, no matter whether the deal is successful or not, when we check out and settle the bill, I will add the extra 'carriage fee'. "
When the old innkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed and ran to pull the strings.
Not long after, Hsu Fengnian saw the door open. She stood there with a fake smile. Without waiting for him to explain anything, she slammed the door and left.
Less than an hour later, the door was gently knocked. Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "Come in."
Two women walked into the room and deliberately changed into ordinary clothes. However, when they took off the veil that covered their faces, one of them was a middle-aged woman and the other was in the prime of her youth. Both of them were outstanding women who had their own romantic styles flowing from head to toe.
After seeing Hsu Fengnian's appearance, the young woman's eyes were filled with curiosity and scrutiny. The plump woman, who had been trembling with fear along the way, was so scared that she directly dropped to her knees. She didn't dare to say anything and didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
Hsu Fengnian said softly, "Mrs. Song, please get up. Sit down and talk. Even Lu Qiu 'er, who is known as a heartless and unscrupulous person in Li Yang, secretly respects Mrs. Song. "
The woman's eyes were red. After getting up, she curtsied and sat down.
Hsu Fengnian asked with a smile, "Is this the next Courtesan Yu Qingling of Snow Lotus House?"
The woman, who had already recognized Xu Fengnian, nodded and replied respectfully, "Yu Qingling is an orphan in the Snow Lotus City. She entered the Snow Lotus House since she was a child. She is my confidant. However, for the sake of caution, she was only registered in the third-class room of the Whispering Room four years ago. Last year, she made a small contribution and was promoted to the second-class room this spring. Currently, she is in charge of keeping an eye on the number one local snake, Liu Huaixi. This person is nicknamed General Liu. He was born and raised in Snow Lotus House. He has more than a thousand men under his command and is also very influential in Nanzhao. Among them, several familiar forces are deeply grateful to Liu Huaixi. I suspect that Liu Huaixi was first supported by Zhao Gou of Li Yang. However, three of Zhao Gou's spies died one after another in autumn and winter last year. Whether Liu Huaixi has been instigated by Beimang or Xishu, we need Yu Qingling to find clues. If Yu Qingling can recruit people for Fu Shui House, she will be worthy of her status as a second class room. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Liu Huaixi was able to move between several major forces and constantly grow his strength. First, he stood out from the crowd. After he gained a firm foothold, he became a feudal lord in the southern part of the Western Regions at the age of thirty-five. Such a bold and ruthless person naturally has a lot of charisma. According to the spy report, even the daughter of Nanzhao's Royal Prince Li Yang was willing to be his woman behind the scenes and didn't hesitate to elope for him. "
The woman looked at the woman who was standing there in a daze and didn't know what to do. She smiled gently and said, "It's best if a sheep enters the tiger's mouth and can retreat after success. It wouldn't be strange even if there are no bones left. However, if you help the tiger do evil, you deserve to die. Since Yu Qingling has joined the Whispering Room, she can distinguish between public and private matters. "
Her next sentence fully displayed 'Madam Song's' iron-blooded demeanor as a top spy, "If there is a mistake, this servant will clean up the house myself without the need for the Whispering Room's instructions. This servant will also ask Head Shopkeeper Chu for punishment if I don't know how to use people."
Yu Qingling bit her lips and stood there elegantly, which made her look even more pitiful.
Hsu Fengnian didn't comment. He looked at the beautiful woman who was well-known in Snow Lotus City and said, "Yu Qingling, what kind of person do you think Liu Huaixi is? Tell me the truth."
She still couldn't guess who this young master was. However, since Madam Song, who had the nickname of 'Empress Dowager' in Snow Lotus House, was so serious about this matter and didn't hesitate to humiliate herself to the point of calling herself 'this servant', Yu Qingling believed that this young master must be an important person of the Whispering Room who had come to Snow Lotus City. Although she was nervous, she carefully chose her words and replied, "He is cruel and merciless, but he is affectionate and loyal."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and dismissed it, "Is there any ready-made snow lotus in Snow Lotus City recently?"
