Li Yi stared in astonishment at the man in blue who was kneeling on the ground with a pious expression.
The man in blue could be considered as a small executive within the Holy Church, but he actually behaved like a fanatic. He didn't even let the higher-ups off. This brainwashing job was very successful.
"I, I understand …"
Not long after, the young man slowly retreated from the room. He stood at the door and spoke respectfully. When he turned around, he threw the sign back to Li Yi. He glared fiercely at him again, then flicked his sleeves and left.
Li Yi held the sign in his hand and looked at it as he walked downstairs.
That fellow just now seemed to have taken out a similar sign. On the way here, he had heard from the man in blue that besides the Empress, the Holy Church also had the Left and Right Protectors, eight purple-robed envoys, and more blue-robed envoys. There were even more yellow-robed envoys, and then there were 100,000 followers …
However, all the believers had only seen the Right Emissary. As for the mysterious Left Emissary, whose position was second only to the Empress, he had never seen him before.
Based on the situation just now, his sign seemed to be worth a bit more than the sign of the young man surnamed Fang …
"Azure Dragon Envoy …" Li Yi thought for a moment. The Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right. If he was the Azure Dragon Envoy, then wouldn't the man surnamed Fang be the White …
Oh, so shameful. That man surnamed Fang was really shameless!
"We pay our respects to the Left Protector!"
Seeing the sign in Li Yi's hand, the dozen or so people around him all knelt down on the ground.
The diners downstairs looked at this scene in astonishment. Their chopsticks fell to the ground.
At the door, the young man surnamed Fang stopped in his tracks. He clenched his teeth and punched the wall. Then, he strode out of the inn.
In the hall, a steward said to a servant loudly, "Be careful on the road. Remember to buy live fish, fresh ones …"
The handsome servant nodded slightly. He raised his head and glanced at the steward, then slowly walked out of the inn.
…
…
"Big Brother Liu's words are too biased. Who said that women enjoy leisure? Men fight at the borders while women weave at home …"
After noon, a loud and clear voice came from a wide plaza next to the Ru Family Inn.
The Ru Family Inn and this brothel had both been moved here a few months ago. The so-called brothel was nothing more than a place to sing operas and listen to books. The stories were old-fashioned, and the plots were boring. Usually, when people were free, they rarely went to the brothel to watch operas and listen to music.
However, this brothel subverted their understanding of brothels.
There were novel stories, interesting scripts, and exquisite performances. Most importantly, the price was low. You could watch it for an hour with just one copper coin. Every few days, they would set up a stage outside to perform for the passersby to watch for free. Therefore, although the brothel had only been here for a short period of time, it had accumulated enough popularity.
At this moment, the woman on the stage was singing a new play, "Hua Mulan". It was a story about a heroine who joined the army on behalf of her father. It was said that the current Princess Royal was also a heroine who was not inferior to any man. She fought bravely against the people of the Qi Kingdom and helped the Jing Kingdom regain its dignity. The people of Shu Land had long heard of this story.
"Do you think that Hua Mulan, a woman, can lead an army to war?"
"Who says she can't? Can't women fight? Doesn't your wife beat you up all day? "
"…"
"What I mean is, as a woman, won't she be discovered in a place where men eat and sleep?"
"Idiot, if you want to sleep with her every night, what would you say?"
…
The passersby chatted as they watched the show. From time to time, people from the inn would come out and join the crowd.
As for those who were self-conscious and did not want to be crowded with ordinary people, they could watch the show through a stage on the second floor of the Ru Family Inn for just one silver coin. The view was clearer and the view was better. If they added another silver coin, they could enjoy the super super super super super super VIP seats in the front row. They would also be provided with free sunflower seeds, mineral water, and melon seeds at no extra cost …
Every free performance at the brothel would last from noon to night. Yong County did not have a curfew, so everyone could watch the show.
Gradually, a few people in yellow walked out of the inn. They stood outside the crowd and watched with interest.
A man carried a pole and walked over from afar. He shouted, "Herbal tea! Herbal tea! Two copper coins for your fill …"
Every time there was a benefit performance at the brothel, there would be hawkers who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sell tea and fruits. Their business was much better than usual.
It was already early April. From April onwards, summer would begin in Shu Prefecture. Immediately, someone walked out from the crowd and said, "Give me a cup of tea."
"Alright!" The man laughed and immediately scooped up a cup of tea for the man.
The man picked it up and drank it in one gulp. He smiled and said, "Delicious. Give me another cup. I've never had such a taste before …"
"Hehe, a family recipe …" The man laughed and scooped up another cup.
At the edge of the crowd, a few people in yellow turned back and looked. They licked their lips and looked at the stage again.
…
…
The youth with the surname Fang walked in front with a gloomy expression. Two people in blue and several people in yellow followed behind him.
A man in blue stepped forward and said, "Guardian, everyone is ready. We are only waiting for your order."
"There's no need to wait for me. Once it's midnight, we will act immediately." The youth with the surname Fang said and suddenly stopped.
He tilted his head and glanced at them before continuing to walk forward.
The people behind him parted ways. The youth with the surname Fang changed his direction and walked towards a deserted alley.
Yong County was desolate and not very prosperous. The further the youth with the surname Fang walked, the more remote it became. After about 15 minutes, he reached a dead end.
The youth with the surname Fang walked into the alley. Then, he turned around and crossed his arms. He said coldly, "Aren't you tired after following me for so long?"
As his voice fell, a figure slowly walked out from behind.
The moment he saw the figure, the youth with the surname Fang was startled. He blurted out, "It's you?"
Then, a cold smile appeared on his face. He said, "I knew there was something wrong with you. I just didn't expect that you would have such guts. You actually dared to follow me alone."
The youth with the surname Fang looked at the servant and clapped his hands. A few figures surrounded him from behind. They were the people in blue and yellow.
The youth with the surname Fang looked at him and said coldly, "You are in cahoots with that imposter, right?"
The handsome manservant didn't answer. His expression was still calm as he slowly walked over.
This undisguised disregard caused the expression of the youth with the surname Fang to completely darken.
"Take him down!" He waved his hand and said coldly, "Take him alive. I want to see what that imposter is plotting!"
The people in blue and yellow sped up and walked towards the handsome servant.
Three breaths later.
The youth with the surname Fang knelt on the ground. A long sword was pressed against his neck. His face was pale and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? What do you want?"
