Chapter 95: Congratulations!
After confirming that Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom were in Hua City, Mengyao and her entourage did not delay, but quickened their pace, wanting to reach Hua City as soon as possible.
The arduous journey was not worth mentioning. When everyone finally arrived at Hua City, they saw that the city had imposed martial law, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets.
This made everyone feel strange. When Mengyao sent out the eloquent people in the team to inquire for information, they returned with bad news.
During this period, people had been disappearing in Hua City.
From the initial disappearance of beggars, soldiers, and officials for no reason, Hua City was filled with fear!
The people living in the city did not know if they would be affected, so they did not dare to go out of their homes, for fear that they would also disappear.
This situation had continued for two or three days.
Even though the emperor of Minghua Kingdom was furious and sent people to search for suspicious individuals in the city, there were no clues. The disappearance incidents continued, and the situation did not improve.
This made the emperor extremely troubled. Every morning at the court, seeing the terrified appearance of the officials below made him even more troubled.
“It’s already this serious… Alright, you’ve worked hard after such a long journey! Let’s find an inn to rest now! We’ll talk about anything tomorrow.”
After hearing the soldier’s report, Mengyao pondered for a moment, then did not dwell on it further. She expressed that finding an inn to rest was the priority.
After traveling for so many days, it was truly exhausting!
Now, they needed hot water and a bed.
After Mengyao spoke, naturally no one objected. After finding an inn to stay in, Mengyao also asked the innkeeper to send food to each room, so that the soldiers would not be hungry.
After finishing everything, Mengyao also returned to her room.
As soon as she entered the room, upon seeing the prepared bathtub and hot water with floating flower petals, Mengyao’s lips curved upwards slightly. Thinking that her husband knew how to care for her and had prepared these in advance, she found it truly thoughtful!
Then, when Mengyao saw the note on the table, after quickly reading it, she put it down.
Afterwards, without paying too much attention, Mengyao directly took off her clothes layer by layer, then walked into the bathtub. Surrounded by fragrant flower petals, she instantly felt her exhaustion swept away.
When Mengyao was completely seated in the bathtub, she raised her hand and picked up the floating flower petals on the water, thinking that Gu Yu, who had gone out to investigate, would be able to find important information!
As for her, she should rest well!
Otherwise, when Yu returned, he would nag again.
…
After writing the note, Gu Yu placed it on the table, thinking that Mengyao should be able to see the note at a glance when she returned.
However, looking at the more obvious bathtub, it was clear that Mengyao’s primary attention would not be on the note… but her secondary attention could be.
Although they had been traveling for several days, Gu Yu was not too exhausted. After all, he was not like Mengyao who had to manage soldiers. He just ate and drank and followed along, which was not a difficult task.
After simply wiping himself down in the room and changing into fine silks and colourful brocade clothes, dressing himself up like a nouveau riche, Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction, then, like Chengfeng Shan, held a folding fan to act cool.
After preparing everything, Gu Yu left the inn and headed towards Hua City’s largest brothel, Hongluan Pavilion, preparing to see what kind of person Xiaohuai Xian was.
Since he was sent to Minghua Kingdom by a mysterious person, he must have considerable ability.
Although there were not many people on the streets, there were still some women who were not afraid of danger, dressed up in bright colors and strolling on the streets, clearly not fearing the disappearances.
However, upon closer thought, they indeed had no reason to fear.
Because the main characters of the disappearances were all men, women had never been involved.
When these women saw Gu Yu, their eyes were almost glued to him, which made Gu Yu feel disgusted and quicken his pace, preparing to get rid of their ravenous gazes.
Originally, Gu Yu’s appearance was already quite good.
Although he had a feminine appearance, it was still a good kind of appearance. Adding to the fact that he had grown taller recently… wearing a luxurious outfit at this time, he looked like a suave young master, no wonder those women couldn’t take their eyes off him.
Although he disliked this very much, it did not stop these women from looking at him. He could only mentally recite that to achieve great things, one should not be particular about trifles, and one must endure, endure, and endure!
The decision to dress so ostentatiously was also made by Gu Yu after some consideration, as he felt it would be very beneficial for investigating information.
After all, people are visual animals.
When they see attractive people or things, they will subconsciously show some preference. This is also the real reason why courtesans are beautiful women, not ugly women.
Just having talent is not enough on its own.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. This only applies to most situations.
Thinking of these, as the women around directly picked flowers and wanted to wrap them in handkerchiefs to give to him, Gu Yu saw this and quickened his pace even more, his speed as if he was being chased by evil spirits.
Fortunately, Hongluan Pavilion was not too far away, which allowed Gu Yu to enter with large strides. Seeing the women being stopped outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn it, the women of Minghua Kingdom are so different from those in Linfeng Kingdom compared to each other!
They are simply too enthusiastic.
Thinking of this, Lin Yue seemed like the women of Minghua Kingdom…
“Oh! Esteemed young master, you look unfamiliar! Are you here for the first time? Don’t worry, I will definitely arrange for a charming girl for you, I guarantee you’ll be as happy as an immortal.”
“No need to be as happy as an immortal. Give me the coldest girl here. I’m tired of ordinary vapid girls. Today, I want to try something new.”
“Alright, alright. Does the young master want to drink in the lobby, or go to a room to be alone with a girl!”
“Let’s see. I’ll stay in the lobby for a while first. If the woman you bring meets my expectations, it won’t be too late to go to a room.”
When Gu Yu stepped into Hongluan Pavilion, he found it much livelier than the streets.
Men with satisfied smiles sat in the lobby, accompanied by beautiful girls, and from time to time they would reach out to touch them and kiss them, truly living as happily as immortals!
Afterwards, when the madam came over with a smile, she quickly asked Gu Yu what kind of girl he wanted, and she would arrange it perfectly for him, making this trip worthwhile.
Having been in this business for so many years, the madam had never seen someone with such an immortal-like appearance as Gu Yu. Even Xiaohuai Xian’s appearance was inferior to this guest.
It’s a pity he’s a man. If he were a woman…
Just as the madam was regretting inwardly that another good seedling was lost, Gu Yu, unaware of her thoughts, then spoke his desires and, like Chengfeng Shan, ‘swish’ opened the folding fan in his hand.
As he waved the fan, his hair was slightly lifted, making Gu Yu’s complexion as white as jade and his lips red and teeth white, a demeanor of a romantic young man, which made the madam unable to help but hold her breath, and she suddenly felt that being a man was not bad.
Now, the girls in the pavilion were in for a treat!
I don’t know who would be chosen by such a man!
“Ah! So handsome!”
“Oh my god, is he a guest? Is he not real? He’s too beautiful.”
“Don’t you dare fight with me today, he’s mine!”
“Go away, don’t look at your old face. When you smile, your powder falls off! Such a high-quality guest should be given to newcomers like me who are young and beautiful. Just looking at him makes my mouth water!”
“Hmph, he looks like a plain chicken. We don’t know what he’s like in bed!”
“Even if it’s only for one second, I’m willing.”
When Gu Yu opened his fan, some women were so surprised when they saw him that they exclaimed, their words very explicit, and much bolder than respectable women outside.
As these words sounded, many people shifted their gaze towards Gu Yu, including quite a few guests who wanted to see what the guy praised by so many women looked like.
They were all here to have fun, why was this guy so popular.
As a result, even the guests were stunned when they saw Gu Yu’s face.
Such a beautiful face, are they sure he’s not a woman disguised as a man???
“Madam, quickly make arrangements. I’ll find a place to sit.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I definitely won’t disappoint you, young master.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Yu did not show any panic at all. He even smiled at the girls who kept beckoning to him, causing a burst of ‘ahhh’ screams, almost deafening Gu Yu’s ears.
He didn’t expect such a strong reaction, so Gu Yu didn’t dare to continue fooling around. Instead, he honestly found a place to sit and let others examine him.
Just a few glances wouldn’t hurt.
Of course, he found those voracious gazes quite disgusting.
However, thinking of the purpose of his visit, Gu Yu endured and suppressed his anger again.
These lechers, they even fantasize about men, it’s truly disgusting!
As Gu Yu thought this, he reached out and picked up the wine pot on the table. After pouring a cup, just as he was about to take a sip, he found that the wine tasted wrong.
Having dealt with many herbs, Gu Yu had developed a ‘dog’s nose’.
Furthermore, the aphrodisiacs in Hongluan Pavilion were relatively low-grade, crudely made drugs, which were easier to detect.
Discovering that the wine had an obvious aphrodisiac effect, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips, thinking that a brothel was indeed a brothel, even using aphrodisiacs everywhere!
Now, even if he was served food, Gu Yu wouldn’t dare to touch it.
He put the wine cup back down, and suddenly a predatory gaze was cast upon him. Gu Yu looked up towards a spot on the second floor and saw a woman with a mischievous smile raising her eyebrows at him.
This woman had a different aura from the other women!
“Esteemed young master, congratulations! Our pavilion’s top courtesan, Xiaohuai Xian, just shyly told me that she is willing to serve you for a night.”
