She was still wearing the same green robe. In the past ten days, she hadn't changed her clothes. She raised her head and looked at the pavilion in front of her. The pavilion was divided into seven floors, and the entrance to each floor was different. The people who received her were naturally different. She was at the most remote door. It was currently night time and the loft was extremely lively. There were various types of women dressed in flowery clothes at the entrance. They wore thin clothes that covered their bodies as they huhu huhu, giggling and speaking softly to the man who passed by the door. As soon as Xia Zihou stood there, he immediately attracted the attention of countless women. Those beautiful women with their clothes half-draped floated gracefully in front of her.
"Yo, young master, are you new? This Feng Chen Pavilion was the number one pavilion in Peace Peace Imperial City. Young Master, please come in.”
"Young Master, let Hua Rong serve Young Master.”
" Young Master…" Those women had pink faces and fragrant flowers. The overly pungent smell made Xia Zihou's expression turn even colder. He frowned and resisted the urge to slap the people in front of him. He flung his sleeves and walked in. A woman in red was busy among those men. From time to time, she would be taken advantage of and would smile warmly. When she turned around and saw Xia Zihou, her smile faded slightly. She said something to the servant girl beside her. The maid nodded.
"Yo, is this the new girl? Playing cross-dressing? Interesting, truly interesting. Aunt Hua, this young master will take care of this young lady.”Xia Zihou's face darkened, and he raised his hand, intending to cripple the pig hand that he had extended over. Who did he think he was? How dare he tease her like this? The truth was usually only known by a few people. Along the way, only this person dressed in greasy sausages could see through her identity as a woman. As her expression turned vicious, the old brothel keeper dressed in red quickly floated over and pressed Xia Zihou's hand down. She gently slapped the customer's face, and the customer teased," What's wrong? Auntie Hua couldn't bear to part with it? Haha, how much do you want?"
"Aiyo, Young Master Wang, don't joke about me being alone. This was a proper young master, Aunt Hua, my guest. Young Master Wang, are you drunk? Hua Rong, please serve Master Wang well.”
"Sigh. He was here. Wang gongzi, can Hua Rong serve you today?”The pretty girl who had been standing at the door smiled sweetly and bowed to Xia Zihou, then turned around to help the obviously drunk Young Master Wang. With a beauty in his arms, Young Master Wang rummaged through his clothes and took out a few notes worth fifty taels of silver. He handed them to Hua Rong and glanced at Xia Zihou provocatively. Looking at Hua Rong's wretched smile, he nodded repeatedly.”After the fat and potbellied Young Master Wang left, Aunt Hua heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she saw Xia Zihou's furious expression, she felt a chill down her spine. Xia Zihou glanced at him. "Hua Yi, you better give me a reasonable explanation.”
Watching Xia Zihou walk up the stairs, she wiped her sweat and smiled sweetly like a flower in the crowd.
Hua Yi was dressed in a red robe, her red lips and pink makeup made her look elegant and graceful. He half-knelt on the ground, his expression no longer as easy-going and humorous as it was in the hall. Because he couldn't be funny in front of the person in front of him. If it wasn't for the fact that he had made a mistake in an assassination mission, he wouldn't have disguised himself as a woman and been transferred here to be a mother. Although everyone thought that the master behind the Feng Chen Pavilion was a certain lord in the Imperial City, in reality, even that lord didn't know that Hua Yi was directly under Xia Zihou's command. He was merely using his identity to have a hidden backer in the Imperial City.
"I want that person dead."
"Master, Young Master Wang is the son of Xi Feng's Minister of War, Wang Ran, and the Assistant Minister of War. " This…" Hua Yi's slight hesitation was no longer a question of hesitation in her eyes. It was a question of loyalty.
"Hua Yi, after not seeing you for a few years, have you forgotten the taste of punishment? Or have your wings hardened?" Xia Zihou was lying on the soft couch, looking at the Golden Phoenix Carp in the water tank with an indifferent expression.
"This subordinate does not dare. This subordinate will definitely make him wish he was dead." Hua Yi lowered his head and agreed. He had been living in such an environment for a long time and had gradually developed a habit of worrying too much. His master had taught him that if he did not make a decision, he would be disturbed instead. If he did not want to be controlled by others, he had to be controlled by others.
"Hua Yi, find out the location of the Fiery Phoenix Lotus in two days.”Xia Zihou was a layman, so she didn't know much about the Firephoenix Lotus. However, the person in front of her definitely knew. Hua Yi was one of her few trusted subordinates. She got up and walked to the window. Outside the window, it was brightly lit. From here, one could even see West Phoenix Imperial City from afar. The red walls and green tiles stretched for ten miles. It was a noble and luxurious place, with a slight mature imperial aura that filled the entire Peace Peace City.
"Master, the Fiery Phoenix Lotus originally belonged to the Xi Feng royal family. Two hundred years ago, when the ancestor of Xi Feng passed away, it was moved into the ancestral tomb.”
"Are you telling me that you can't find it?”
"Master, this subordinate is not talented. This map is only in the hands of the West Phoenix Crown Prince Han Che. This subordinate has been to the Crown Prince's residence before.”He was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up. The Crown Prince's residence was indeed heavily guarded. Many heroes had died in the Crown Prince's residence for the Fiery Phoenix Lotus. He really wanted to enter the Crown Prince's residence but was powerless.
"Forget it, you don't have to interfere in this matter. Tomorrow, I want to see the defense map of the Crown Prince's residence.”She waved her hand, gesturing for the person on the ground to get up. He was originally a man of integrity, but in five years, he had been tempered into a man who could endure. He was also pondering in his heart that once the situation was settled, he would be taken out of Feng Chen Pavilion and return him a proper position.
"Yes, I am. Master, if you still don't come to summon this subordinate, this subordinate will think that you've been forgotten. How is Young Master Jing?" Hua Yi and Xia Jing were once chess friends. The reason why she followed Xia Zihou was because of the promise and bet she made to Xia Jing. Now, she was deeply convinced not only by her profound knowledge, but also her decisiveness and ruthlessness.
"To me, everyone around me is important. You, Mo Ru, and Cai Hen are all important.”Xia Zihou rubbed his forehead, looking a little tired. He wondered how Jing 'er was doing. Within two months, she had to obtain the Fiery Phoenix Lotus. Now, ten days had already passed. They had rushed over through wind and rain, not because something had happened to him.
The next day, in the dead of the night, a figure streaked across the night sky toward the crown prince's residence. Xia Zihou was dressed in a black suit, his long hair tied up high, and his face was covered by a black cloth, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.
She glanced at the three large gilded horizontal boards hanging on the Crown Prince's Residence. There was a row of lanterns hanging at the door, which was even more impressive than her residence in the Prince Regent's Residence. There were nearly ten people standing at the door. From their appearances, they were all the same height and figure. The red lanterns easily cast shadows in the night. Xia Zihou withdrew his gaze and recalled the map he had memorized in his mind. He climbed over a gap in the wall.
Not long after she climbed over the wall, another black figure also entered the Crown Prince's residence.
Following the route in her memory, Xia Zihou was almost discovered many times. She silently landed on the beam of the Crown Prince's study, then followed the beam and landed on the ground. Where was the map of the mausoleum? Under the light of the lanterns outside, she carefully searched the corner of the study room, leaving nothing behind. Then, she heard a slight sound, and Xia Zihou quickly hid behind the screen. The man had his face covered just like her, and his handsome eyebrows were slanted into his temples, giving him a sense of familiarity. She tried her best to hide her aura, but she was still discovered. The man suddenly attacked her, and Xia Zihou hurriedly pulled out the silver whip at his waist to block it. He grabbed it, and the whip was instantly straightened.
"Hand over what you took."
"Oh? You?" Xia Zihou's tone was calm and carried a hint of mockery, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest. She was all too familiar with this feeling. She had only felt it when she was fighting against Su Qing, and now there was another one.
"With just me." The two of them started fighting silently in the study of the Crown Prince's residence. At this moment, a person was sitting on the beam of the room. He held a white jade medal in his hand. His dark eyes watched with interest as the two of them fought to the death below. He did not show any mercy at all. However, the two people below had yet to discover him. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't you know what it means to benefit from the fish?”
"Hmph, profit? I'd like to see how you'll benefit from it.”The man in black was holding a sword that was pointed at the person on the beam. The person was dressed in blue, with a brocade jade ribbon and a precious crown. He was obviously handsome and elegant, but he had a 30% unrestrained and 70% elegant and noble aura. Xia Zihou was stunned. He guessed that this person was probably the head of the Crown Prince Residence, Han Che.
"Farewell." The man in black disappeared into the night with a flash from the window. Facing such a tight security, it was completely useless. Before the guards could see clearly, they saw that the figure had already disappeared into the distance. The speed was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. Xia Zihou weighed his chances of escaping and glanced at the man smiling at him.
"Since you came to the residence as a guest, why are you in a hurry to leave? The night is long, how about drinking and chatting?”He kept the badge in his hand back into his blue brocade belt. He didn't know where he had found a mechanism, but Xia Zihou felt that something was wrong. The whip in his hand wrapped around the big pillar of the study, and the whip brought her out of the place where she had been standing just now. The ground caved in, and through the light, he could only see darkness inside. He could sense that the hole must be extremely deep.
Those people had heard the commotion in the study room and swarmed over. The moment Xia Zihou stepped out of the door, she saw the guards waving their swords and blocking her way at the door. Glancing at the people behind her, she gritted her teeth and charged into the crowd with her silver whip.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184:24PM
