C76 Slow Southward to Jiangning
Gu Jingcheng sized her up with an expression like he was sizing her up, "Then since I've helped Miss, what kind of reward do I have?"
Meng Zixian thought for a moment. "Then, I'll follow you this time. If you have a good gift, I think the best will be given to you."
Gu Jingcheng agreed: "Then Miss Meng must prepare a gift that I'm satisfied with."
"Thanks, then I'll take my leave." Meng Zixian got what she wanted and left his palace. After looking around to the left and right of her, she left.
Meng Zixian returned to her own room, her mind full of excitement. "Ling'er, can you come with me?"
Ling'er shook her head. "Young master, you can go by yourself. This servant will guard the palace gate for you."
Meng Zixian looked at her apologetically. "Thank you."
"It's all my responsibility."
Meng Zixian didn't say anything more. She just kept her feelings in mind, and she would remember them.
She dragged Gu Jingcheng with a letter to Yang Chunzi and also sneakily brought in a human skin mask.
Yang Chunzi was very efficient, it quickly reached Meng Zixian. This human skin mask was very lifelike, it would stick to her face and even if she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't be able to recognize it.
In the past two days, Meng Zixian had been recuperating and playing to his heart's content.
Three days later.
Meng Zi changed into the maid's clothes and put on the human skin mask. Ling'er watched her as she left.
Song Que was very careful and had people watching around the palace. When he left the palace, he kept a low profile so no one would notice him. If Meng Zian didn't know about this, perhaps she wouldn't know about it.
Song Que thought that he had done it perfectly, but when he arrived at the first station to rest and saw Meng Zixian standing in front of him, he was stunned for a long time.
"Master Song is really not trusting." Meng Zixian looked at him with a strange expression.
Yang Chunzi had taken care of her face as well. Her facial features were exquisite, and at first glance, it looked very ordinary, but after looking at it for a while, it felt very pretty.
"Since you've come with me, then listen to my commands."
"If you don't listen to me, I will end you immediately." Song Que threatened.
In his opinion, Meng Zixian was just in danger from time to time. Although something might have gone wrong, he didn't want to bring her to Jiangning. Who knew that Meng Zixian would secretly follow her.
"Yes, Lord Song, everything." Before Song Qi could say anything, Meng Zian slipped away.
Song Que looked at her back. He felt helpless and sighed.
He was worried that Meng Zixian might have done something wrong, so he secretly arranged for Meng Zixian to be moved to his side, so that Meng Zixian could pretend to be a man and act like one of his followers.
Dongsheng was in the north and Jiangning was in the south. They had been travelling for a long time and had been proposed by Song Que River. Gu Jingyuan had initially been unwilling to go, but when he heard that there were many beauties in Jiangning, he immediately agreed.
Song Shihe had come this time for a special purpose. This time, he was going to clean up some doors.
There wasn't much fun around the first relay station, but Gu Jingyuan couldn't bear it any longer and insisted on going to the brothel to take a look.
It was said that since there was no special scenery to see, then the brothels on the ground could see whether the land was good or not, and the girls raised were not so beautiful.
When Meng Zixian heard this, she wanted to spray a mouthful of tea onto Gu Jingyuan's face. Being lustful was being lustful, why was she trying to find so many excuses?
However, Gu Jingyuan was the emperor, so naturally, his wish was granted. Song Lianhe was worried about his safety, so he had no choice but to take over the venue and personally accompany him.
On this trip, they did not attract too much attention. However, the soldiers they were leading were all wearing regular clothing and were quietly protecting them not too far away. Each and every one of them were proficient in martial arts.
Meng Zixian followed beside Song Que. Originally, she wasn't allowed to go, but Song Qi couldn't say anything and had to have people follow.
This was a small town called Rong County. The entire city was circular, with the county magistrate's mansion as the center. It spread out over a hundred kilometers, all within the boundaries of Rong County.
The brothels here were very bustling, and because Gu Jingyuan was an honored guest, he dressed up even more diligently. There were beautiful flowers everywhere.
"Come in." The mother of the Misty Flower Tower was a middle-aged woman. Her figure was still there and her charm was still present. When she saw Gu Jingyuan beaming like a flower, she welcomed him in and shouted towards the building, "Ladies, you've come out!"
However, after a while, all sorts of beauties appeared from upstairs. Gu Jingyuan was staring with his eyes wide open as he nodded his head in satisfaction.
"You, come here." Gu Jingyuan ordered two girls. One was dressed in revealing garb, while the other had a gentle and flirtatious aura. The two of them happened to be sisters.
"As for the rest, I'll give them to you." Gu Jingyuan impatiently carried the beauty upstairs.
After he had left, his mother called out, "Come on, these are all honorable guests. The girls must be treated well."
Before Song Que could refuse, he was hugged by a girl. The smell of makeup assaulted the nose, making people sneeze.
Meng Zixian, seeing his defeated look, almost laughed out loud. Who knew that she had a woman on her side who wrapped around him like a water snake? She quickly refused, "No, there's no need!"
Song Que could not bear it any longer and pushed the woman away. "The rest of you, stay here well. Tomorrow, when we leave, we will be treated well. Don't bother us anymore."
His mother was frightened by his cold expression and quickly nodded.
"Where is the place I asked you to arrange for me?"
"Here, please."
Since Gu Jingyuan was in the Misty Flower Tower, it was impossible for them to return to the inn. There were guards everywhere outside and people were secretly planted. They stayed here and waited for tomorrow's departure.
Meng Zijing entered the room, patting the clothes on his body, "What a strong smell. I nearly died from the smoke."
"Don't you like it? Now I will allow you to go. " Song Qi teased, while Meng Zixian smirked, "I'll go listen to the song!"
Song Qishen was just mocking him, but he didn't expect Meng Zixian to be serious and actually go look for a girl.
Meng Zixian casually called a girl. She didn't expect that this girl was actually a mute. Moreover, she only sold her skills and not her body. She was truly proficient in playing the lute.
The big pearl fell onto the jade plate, its voice was sad, causing people to listen to it with melancholy, countless grievances, just as she was about to ask, Song Qi opened the door and angrily pulled her up without saying a word, but no one dared to stop her.
Meng Zixian's wrist ached from being pulled, she shook him off, "What? Weren't you the one who called me here?"
"I told you to be obedient, why didn't you listen? These are the most obedient ones. "
Meng Zixian chuckled and teased, "Look at you, don't you think you're trying to catch a traitor?"
"I found a girl in a brothel, come and catch me." At this point, Meng Zixian began to laugh.
Song Que angrily said: "Bullsh * t!"
