When Di Xin carried Xizi back to her bedroom, outside the General's Mansion, Yanque Pass seemed quiet due to the curfew, but some places became very lively.
Due to their special nature, Jiaofangsi and Goulan Land do not need to abide by the curfew regulations. When thousands of lights are extinguished, the lights can still be dimmed for a night.
Of course, if the guests are still drinking and having fun after the curfew, unless they are confident of evading the patrolling soldiers, they will have to wait until the curfew ends at dawn before they can leave.
Of course, this is only under normal circumstances. Since it is a feudal society, there are naturally some privileged people.
This is the case for Tongzhi Luran, the capital commander. Even when he is not on duty, he can still walk openly on the streets after the curfew, and does not need to dodge even if he encounters patrolling soldiers.
But tonight he disguised his identity, not only covering his face with a cloak, but also deliberately avoiding all patrolling soldiers.
After making sure that no one had discovered him, he came to the Goulan area in the west of the city.
Under the tacit understanding, patrolling soldiers almost never patrol this street, so those men who cannot restrain their physical impulses to avoid the patrolling soldiers no longer hide their presence here.
Unlike the "elegance" of Jiaofangsi, which can only be entered by high-ranking officials and nobles, most of the people served by Goulan Place are ordinary people, so it is more direct and tacky.
"Master, do you want to play?"
"Damn it, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Hehehe..."
…
As long as you get closer, you can feel the charming aura from the romantic sounds and the fabric that can barely cover your body.
Under the cloak, Lu Ran frowned slightly. He usually went to the Jiaofang Department and rarely came to the Goulan Place, so he felt a little uncomfortable.
And the cheap and strong scent of fragrant powder from those prostitutes who solicited customers made him feel repulsed even more.
Perhaps sensing that Lu Ran was out of place, a woman wearing a green gauze with her bellyband and thighs exposed swayed closer.
"Uncle, is this your first time here? How about letting me serve you tonight?"
As she said that, she naturally leaned towards Lu Ran, and gently raised her hand with one hand, pretending to lift the cap of the cloak unintentionally, wanting to see the true appearance of this old man.
Snap.
Lu Ran grabbed the woman's hand that was trying to lift the hat.
"pain……"
Just as the woman was about to act coquettishly, the pain from her wrist made her pale, but she couldn't even scream out the pain, and naturally couldn't say anything else.
After a little punishment for the daring prostitute, Lu Ran let go of his hand in disgust and walked into the door.
The other sisters naturally saw the tragic situation of the woman in green gauze. They were exposed to all kinds of religions all day long and knew how to assess the situation. For a time, no one with an open eye came to disturb Lu Ran anymore.
However, they did not take this matter to heart. Even if they came to Goulan without looking for a woman, there was no point in coming. However, there were all kinds of guests here, so Lu Ran's dress and behavior were strange, but
It's not uncommon either.
The woman who had already been alert told the "mommy" what happened at the door, but as the madam here, she could only bite the bullet and welcome Lu Ran who entered the door.
Thinking in his mind about the identity of the man who wrapped himself tightly in front of him, the madam had a warm smile on his face: "Master, you are here."
After a familiar greeting, the madam asked with a smile: "Master, I wonder if you have a girl you like tonight. We have Zhenzhen and Yanyan here..."
She was interrupted by a piece of silver thrown into her arms.
Then, a hoarse voice sounded from the cloaked man's hat: "Prepare a more remote room for me, prepare some drinks, and don't let other people disturb you later."
"Okay, sir, please come upstairs."
After appraising the weight of the money in her arms, the smile on the Madam's face became a little more sincere, but she still did not give up and continued to sell when she went upstairs: "Sir, it's a long night, do you really not need a few girls to serve you?"
"The girls here are very considerate and considerate. They have everything and can definitely serve you well. How about..."
Smelling the scent of fragrant powder that was unique to the old bustard, Lu Ran resisted even more, and it was not easy for outsiders to be present tonight, so he warned again in a hoarse voice.
"I told you, I don't need anyone."
Another ingot of silver was thrown into the old bustard's arms.
The rich man is the uncle.
After sealing his mouth with two ingots of silver, the madam stopped talking and led Lu Ran to a more remote room. After personally bringing some drinks and food, he thoughtfully hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door.
"I guess I either have mysophobia or I'm waiting for a secret meeting with someone. What a mess in this world!"
After muttering something that no one could hear, the well-informed Madam swayed her body and fanned herself to welcome the next guest; "Hey, you are here..."
In the room, after the madam left, Lu Ran carefully checked the entire room and confirmed that no one else was hiding here, and that there was no one in the two rooms on the left and right, and then he opened the window facing the back street a crack.
After half a stick of incense, the window was suddenly opened from the outside, and a figure slipped in quietly.
Lu Ran was not surprised at all. After confirming the identity of the person in front of him, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I have seen the divine envoy in Mingyue Tower."
"Get up."
If there are soldiers guarding the city again, they may be able to recognize that the speaker is the middle-aged wealthy businessman who entered Yanque Pass a few months ago.
And this wealthy businessman was Tian Zi No. 5 of Mingyue Tower, who was ordered to assassinate King Yu's innate grand master.
Xuanhuang, Heaven and Earth, are the four main halls of Mingyue Tower. They are responsible for different responsibilities, and will cross-cooperate when necessary.
Among them, Huangzi has the largest number of people and is the thug supported by Mingyue Tower; Xuanhuang belongs to the intelligence department, and the secret agents lurking in the rivers and lakes and the court are Xuanzi and Dizi respectively; Tianzi has the smallest number of people and is the most special. Those who can join Tianzi either
He is a strong person in the second realm, or he has special skills.
Tianzi members will usually be stationed in various locations, and will only be dispatched for special tasks, and the Dixuanhuangzi members in various places need to fully cooperate.
Lu Ran knew that Mingyue Tower had placed one of the secret agents in Yanque Pass, numbered one or two. Even Di Xin had not noticed anything unusual about him despite many contacts over the past few months.
After Lu Ran got up, Tianzi No. 5 continued to ask: "Sending a message late at night, what is the urgent matter to report?"
"That's right."
Although he knew there was no eavesdropping, Lu Ran still lowered his voice subconsciously: "God's envoy, King Yu returned from outside the customs today, but..."
Half an hour later, Lu Ran told all the things he saw in the general's mansion today in detail.
The middle-aged wealthy businessman narrowed his eyes slightly: "Prince Yu is not dead, but his foundation was destroyed and he became a useless person?"
