Chapter 313 The Astute Businessman
He looked the so-called Lord Feng up and down, pondering how he should answer.
Those guards were not kind to them.
Just as the kick was about to land on them, Changsun Boyu suddenly spoke up.
"We are indeed from the mission!"
Fang Yuerong was still figuring out how to defend herself.
Why did Changsun Boyu immediately admit it and even ask, "Is that so?"
"Yes! May I ask what brings you gentlemen here? Our masters are waiting for us to return."
"Oh, yes, yes, sirs, our young lady is still waiting for us to return."
Lord Feng sat there, his brows always furrowed, as if he were pondering something very important.
"Oh? Who is your young lady?"
"Yes... General Yan, the deputy general of the Crown Prince of the Wu Dynasty, was sent as an envoy to Xiao Rong and was adopted as his sworn sister."
"I've heard of Wu Chengji before. Her deputy generals aren't those generals under Situ? I've never heard of General Yan before!"
It turns out that Lord Feng knew their information well, so the two of them had to make up a story from then on.
"Our young lady has also heard that His Highness Prince Hui is unparalleled in wisdom and courage."
“If Your Highness Prince Hui has any needs, then Situ, who is stationed at the border, will certainly be an aid to Your Highness Prince Hui.”
Fang Yuerong is a businesswoman; she can tell at a glance what they want, so she naturally has to offer the toughest bargaining chips in negotiations.
Hearing them utter the words "King Hui," I knew that these two men were no ordinary people.
Their lady even told them this secret.
"How do you know we are King Hui's men?"
"Miss told us before we came that Xiao Rong is now Prince Hui's Xiao Rong."
Flattery is absolutely the right thing to do now, but you have to save your own life first.
Changsun Boyou also cast an admiring glance at Fang Yuerong, thinking, "She's a businessman after all; her mind works so fast."
"Untie these two young masters and take them to change into clean clothes."
"By the way, I would like to meet your young lady. I would like to ask you to introduce me."
"Of course, after all, the adults have treated us so well."
Wu Ziyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, as she wasn't well-informed here.
We still have to rely on Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan, but they've gone out again and haven't returned yet.
Fortunately, Qi Zexuan and his men were still at the post station, and they had become somewhat familiar with each other over the journey.
They had no choice but to send their men to inform Qi Zeyun that the two of them had been arrested.
Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan went to a brothel.
After all, the place is a mixed bag, so finding a famous business card is the fastest way.
As soon as the two of them entered the building, someone came to greet them, looked around, and realized they hadn't brought any extra people with them.
He led them into a room where the madam was Qi Zexuan's prostitute.
As soon as he entered, Qi Zexuan sat down and revealed an expression that Chu Yu had never seen before.
Ruthless and vicious, he exudes the aura of someone in a superior position.
"Your Highness Zexuan, what has happened?"
"I don't know where this petty thief came from, daring to steal from us."
"I must see them today and then send someone to retrieve our lost name cards!"
"What kind of ignorant thief is this, so blind!"
"Cut off one hand from each person you catch. If they can't hand over anything, you should know what to do, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness Zexuan."
After giving them some instructions, they came out from inside the door.
When they came out, they would look around to see if anyone was watching them.
As Chu Yu walked out of the brothel, she asked Qi Zexuan, "So you have this side to you after all?"
"He is a prince after all, so I can only act coquettishly towards you."
Qi Zeyun quickly finished her business and returned to the post station. Wu Ziyan told her what had happened.
After listening, Qi Zeyun said, "It seems to be Feng Yi, but she seems like a nice person, so she probably won't do anything to them."
"But does she still acknowledge you?"
After a moment of silence, Qi Zeyun felt that Feng Yi should remain neutral.
If she appears with her true identity, she might still be somewhat useful.
Her current staunch ally is Wu Ziyan, so she'll definitely have to consider their side first.
"How long have they been detained?"
"I overheard people whispering by the roadside, so it must have been about an hour ago. It's probably been more than two hours since they took him away."
"They're both so smart, they should be able to figure out how to get away."
Qi Zeyun meant to wait a while; if they didn't return, then she would have to take matters into her own hands.
Meanwhile, another group of thieves stole the gold and silver, and of course, they spent the thieves' money on a lavish lifestyle, leaving it for the night.
They happened to arrive at a brothel and were preparing to hire the best courtesans when the madam took notice of them.
First, they sent in the best paparazzi to ask them where they made their money.
A few drinks were enough to subdue them completely; they answered any question asked.
They thought they were going to be given another glass of fine wine, but instead, a cold silver hairpin was pressed against their throats.
"Oh my, ladies, what kind of game are you playing with me?"
"This hairpin may not be sharp, but it can still cause bleeding if it pokes someone. Quickly remove it from your sister's neck."
"You have no idea who you're stealing from! You should know that some money you might steal but not live to spend!"
"We only stole from a caravan last night!"
"Where did you throw all those printed documents inside?"
"None of us sisters can read or write, and since those things were useless, we just piled them up in the alley behind. I don't know if the sanitation workers swept them away!"
"Which alley? And the exact time!"
"It's the alley behind their post station."
They just thought about it; actually, very few people sweep that alley.
I usually only go to clean every two or three days, but coincidentally, it's time to clean today!
Fortunately, the people sent out to search for the documents and name cards were found on the way back.
The petty thieves returned all the money they had extorted.
The madam strictly followed Qi Zexuan's teachings.
They chopped off one of each of their hands to teach them a lesson!
The name card was sent back first. When Wu Ziyan saw that a stranger had come, he thought it was Feng Yi who had sent a message.
It turned out to be people sent by the brothel, but seeing that the items proving their identities were undamaged was a good thing.
Qi Zeyun was also slightly moved; his younger brother's strength was truly on par with his own.
The people she sent hadn't found it yet, but he had.
"Qi Zeyun, no one has written to us yet."
"It seems I have no choice but to go to Feng Yi's residence!"
Actually, she wasn't sure if Feng Yi was still neutral; she could only gamble.
Feng Yi's residence
The two of them changed their clothes, wearing Xiao Rong's side of the clothing, which had a unique charm.
The lecherous subordinate stared at Fang Yuerong with wide eyes.
Although the men of Xiao Rong were not bad-looking, the men of Wu Chao had a unique charm.
A wicked thought arose in my mind.
