"How did you go with the thing you were asked to do?" A woman with her face covered by a veil asked standing by the window.
The window was still open at this time, and the cold wind poured in from the outside, gently lifting the veil on her face, making her face looming.
In front of him was a woman with a delicate face and a bare-breasted green dress. She lowered her head and said, "Back to the palace master, I already have some clues. If he comes here tonight, he will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the sacred object."
"That's best." The veiled woman said, "Don't be too hasty, lest you reveal your identity, do you understand?"
"clear."
As soon as he finished speaking, the veiled woman who was standing by the window disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if she had never appeared.
…
Li Qi, who came to the second floor, took out a tael and handed it to Qing Luo: "I don't know if this is enough to chat with you about cigarettes?"
"Master Li, this is Siyan."
"Yes, yes, Siyan. She is the most beautiful one here, right?" Li Qi confirmed again.
"Back to Mr. Li, it's absolutely true. But..."
Qing Luo held a tael of silver in her hand and showed an ambiguous smile.
Who is Li Qi?
When he saw this expression, he still didn't know what it meant?
Without saying anything, he took out another two taels from his arms: "Are these enough? I brought so much here today. If it's not enough, there's nothing I can do."
"Master Li, don't you want to spend the night?"
"I'm not spending the night, I just want to see the beauties." Li Qi said.
Although ancient brothels were very good, Li Qi also knew that some things should never be messed with.
Besides, he is not a messy person.
In this era, people are not afraid of anything except getting sick. If they get sick, there is no cure, so Li Qi is still very careful.
He didn't want to die because of his indiscretions...
When he arrived at Qiuzi Yajian, Li Qi saw a woman closing the window as soon as she entered.
"Siyan, Mr. Li is here today because of his reputation. You will have to treat him well later." Qingluo walked up to Siyan and winked.
Siyan frowned when he heard this: "Didn't I agree that tonight..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qing Luo came over and whispered: "This is the first time Mr. Li has come here. He is very generous because he just wants to see you. I will send him away when he comes later. You go first."
Stay with him."
"But……"
"Just think of it as helping my sister." Qing Luo said, putting a tael of silver into Si Yan's hand.
Siyan was a little embarrassed, but still reluctantly agreed: "Okay."
Seeing this, Qing Luo hurried over and pulled Li Qi to sit at the round table nearby: "Master Li, you sit down first. I'll have someone bring you a jug of good wine later."
After saying that, she went out.
Li Qi looked at the so-called "top card" in front of him and carefully looked at it. He had to say that this woman named Siyan was indeed quite pretty, and could score at least eighty-five points.
"Master Li, Siyan is very polite."
"Polite, polite." Li Qi looked away from her and said, "Do you have any private room service here?"
"Elite room service?" Siyan was a little confused.
"I mean, is there any entertainment? Like playing the flute or something like that."
"It turns out that the young master likes music. Siyan can sing some southern songs. How about I play a song for the young master to relieve his fatigue?"
Li Qi's eyes lit up: "Okay! Start your performance."
Si Yan bowed, then sat in front of a guzheng inside the screen and began to play and sing.
Soon a beautiful melody came from the house.
To be honest, Li Qi was quite surprised by this melody, it was a bit melodious and gentle.
Especially when Siyan started singing, Li Qi was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t this damn pop song covered in classical Chinese?
Is the music of this era already so cutting-edge?
It’s unscientific!
Or is this woman also a time traveler?
After the song ended, just when Li Qi was about to ask Siyan about the origin of the song, there was a burst of noise at the door.
"Why don't you let me go in to see Siyan? You didn't arrange a tryst with another man, right?"
An angry voice sounded.
"Mr. Lin, please listen to my explanation. Siyan is feeling a little unwell. Please sit in the hall for a while. I..."
"Discomfort? What's wrong with her?"
…
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the situation, and at this moment, a trace of anxiety flashed across Si Yan's face.
She rolled her eyes and pulled Li Qi behind the screen: "Mr. Li, the person coming outside is Mr. Lin. If he catches you having a tryst with me here, I'm afraid he will cause you trouble."
Li Qi was startled, what...what is going on?
Don’t brothels provide personal protection services?
Bad review!
"But, I was the one who came first." Li Qi said.
Siyan said helplessly: "Master Lin is a notoriously jealous husband in Jincheng. He has made an appointment with me tonight. But Mother Qing insisted that you want to meet me..."
Hearing this, Li Qi understood that they wanted to take advantage of the time difference to make two money, but they didn't expect that they would come in advance.
"Master Li, can you help me?" Siyan said anxiously. In desperation, he took off the golden fork on his head and put it into Li Qi's hand: "This is my reward for Master Li."
When Li Qi took the golden fork and was still a little dazed, Si Yan dragged him to the ground and forced him under the bed.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw something similar to a sachet being thrown in by Si Yan.
Before he picked it up, he smelled a scent, and then he felt that his vision was blurred and he felt sleepy.
I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, Li Qi felt like someone was calling him. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Qingluo, the brothel's old madam: "Master Li, have you drunk too much?"
"I..." He felt a terrible headache and shook it twice before he got better: "When did I drink?"
"Oh, Mr. Li, you are serious. We don't charge for drinks here."
Li Qi was a little confused about the situation and asked: "What time is it now?"
"It's already time to be ugly."
It’s been so long since I left?
Looking around, Li Qi found that he was in the lobby at this time. When he wandered out of the Yanyu Building, he took out a golden fork from his arms.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and he shivered, his mind cleared a lot, and then he remembered what happened before.
There's something wrong with that sachet!
That Siyan has a problem too!
But...what does this have to do with me?
Who would have thought that the first time I visited a brothel, I would actually make money?
This golden fork should fetch a lot of money, right?
Thinking of Li Qi, he grinned. No matter what Siyan was up to, this trip was not in vain.
In the streets and alleys not far away, two figures stood in the darkness, staring at Li Qi's back and talking.
"Are you sure he doesn't know anything?"
"Palace Master, don't worry, he has fallen under my spell and knows absolutely nothing."
"Just in case, you can confirm it after retrieving the sacred object later."
