Chapter 23

The audit continued into the evening. After Tu Boshu and Xiao Man left, Li Qi moved around and was about to close the door and go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, something flew in. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a kit.

Li Qi picked it up and found a note inside.

"At the time of Hai, there is a story about the misty rain tower. Like smoke."

Looking at the delicate handwriting on it, Li Qi walked out and looked outside, but couldn't see anyone.

What does this woman want from me?

Li Qi was still a little wary of Ruyan. He knew that this woman was definitely not simple.

From what you used to stun yourself last time, you can tell that this is a brothel girl?

Nine times out of ten, he has another identity.

Li Qi has always adhered to the saying: Curiosity killed the cat.

I have just arrived in this world not long ago, and I haven't even found my feet yet, so I don't want to get into too much trouble.

Thinking about it, Li Qi stuffed the note in his hand back into his bag, shrugged and went back to his room to sleep.

A night without electronic devices is a miserable one.

Li Qi lay on the hard bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Finally, it was too uncomfortable to lie down, so he sat up.

After thinking about it, I took out the brochure again and felt really tormented when I looked at the writing on it.

Damn it, is it possible that this woman knows magic?

Throwing such a note over was as if it had caught my heart.

They say curiosity killed the cat. Do you want to be a dead cat?

That’s it!

In this case, we can only defeat magic with magic!

After getting dressed quickly, Li Qi walked out of the room and went to Zhang Chuang's residence. He knocked on the door and when there was no response, he pushed the door open and went in.

The room was empty, there was nothing, only an oil lamp on the table was still on.

"Where did this guy go?"

Li Qi muttered.

In desperation, he could only close the door and leave. Just after he left, a figure jumped down from the beam, and it was Zhang Chuang.

He crossed his arms and looked at the door doubtfully. After a moment, he took out a short knife from under the table and put it on his waist, opened the window and jumped out.

If you don't sleep on a bed, you sleep on the beams of the room. If you don't go through the door, you jump out of the window.

This may be the self-cultivation of a guard...

There is no curfew in Jincheng, and you can still see many people walking on the streets at night.

The inns and shops are brightly lit, and from time to time there are the sounds of vendors.

Walking on the stone road, Li Qi looked at everything around him and whistled happily.

It seems that the nightlife in Jincheng is quite rich. If I had known, I would have called the groundhog too.

After passing through the gate of Tianyuanfang, Li Qi came to Shangyuanfang and saw the Yanyu Tower decorated with lights and colors in the distance.

Although Cuihonglou has taken away a lot of business recently, as a time-honored brand, Yanyulou is still majestic and heroic.

After arriving at the door, Qing Luo recognized Li Qi at a glance.

"Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you come today?"

Li Qi smiled at her and said, "I have an appointment with Miss Ruyan."

Qing Luo covered her mouth with her fan and smiled: "No wonder Ru Yan said he wouldn't accept guests today. It turned out to be because he was waiting for Mr. Li."

"You should take me up quickly, otherwise she will be in a hurry later." Li Qi smiled and took out a tael of silver and handed it over.

Qing Luo smiled and took it, her whole body wanted to stick it to him.

Arriving at Ruyan's elegant room, Li Qi felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the door, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. A strange fragrance made people feel a little confused.

Qing Luo closed the door, and Li Qi noticed a shadowy figure behind the screen, looming.

"Miss Ruyan." Li Qi called out.

The beautiful shadow slowly walked around the screen. When he saw the owner of the shadow, Li Qi was startled!

"land……"

Before he even called out the other party's name, Li Qi felt dizzy.

Damn, I used this trick again...

I don't know how long it took, but when Li Qi woke up, he found himself lying on a wooden bed, unable to lift up any strength.

"Master Li, are you awake?" came a familiar voice.

Li Qi never expected to see Lu Jinshuang in Ruyan's room!

Isn't this woman the shopkeeper of Cuihong Building? Why is she going to Yanyu Building?

Speaking of which, she still works for herself, so why...

Lu Jinshuang came to the bed, stared at Li Qi, smiled slightly and said, "Master, are you okay?"

"Where is this?" Li Qi asked weakly.

"A place where no one will disturb our chat." Lu Jinshuang said.

"who are you?"

Lu Jinshuang smiled slightly and said, "You can call me Ruyan, or you can call me Lu Jinshuang, you can call me whatever you like."

Li Qi narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Jinshuang in front of him. He never expected that this woman was actually Ruyan?

"What did you bring me here for?" Li Qi asked.

"I have some questions to ask Mr. Li."

"what is the problem?"

"Where did you get the idea of ​​"The Legend of Romance, Snow and Moon" that you wrote?"

Li Qi couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart. Is this why he was brought here to ask about this?

I want to say that I made this up after watching "The Naked Agent". Do you believe it?

Thinking about it, he realized something. This woman had previously worked in the Yanyu Building disguised as Ruyan, and then worked as the shopkeeper in the Cuihong Building under her true identity.

So she has several identities. Generally speaking, according to the plot of the TV series, this woman is most likely doing something shady.

Is it possible that the achievement is the same as in "The Legend of Romance, Snow and Moon" written by me?

Is she a killer?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Qi's heart tightened.

They all told me not to go to any appointment, but I didn’t believe it. Now you’ve met the killer, right?

"Miss Lu, we have no grievances or grudges..."

Before Li Qi could finish speaking, Lu Jinshuang interrupted him: "Answer my question first."

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Li Qi took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, I made those up based on hearsay. You also know that I just want to promote Cuihong Mansion."

"really?"

"Of course it's true! I can swear it!"

"What are you doing in Jincheng?"

"I didn't want to come either. I took a boat south and encountered ice on the canal, so I followed the original owner of Cuihonglou to Jincheng. I originally wanted to make ends meet, but who knew..."

Just as he was speaking, Lu Jinshuang suddenly turned her head to the door: "Who?"

In the blink of an eye, she left the bed and rushed out.

Before Li Qi could react, he heard the sound of fighting coming from outside.

He wanted to turn his head to look at the situation outside, but found that except for the strength to speak, it was extremely difficult for him to turn his head.

At this moment, a figure came out of nowhere. Zhang Chuang took out a bottle of something from his body and placed it next to Li Qi's breath.

He took a breath, and the stench almost choked him to death.

Then he found that he could move and that all his strength had been restored.

"Zhang Wewei, you showed up just in time." Li Qi said happily.

Zhang Chuang made a "hush" gesture to him and pointed to the window over there: "Young Master."

Li Qi understood immediately, nodded and quickly got off the bed, and climbed out of the window in a hurry.
