Alluring City

"This is a post station, and there are so many people living here, so I won't make you feel too uncomfortable." Gu Xiaowu said lightly.

If they don't understand what she is going to do after hearing this, they are really fools.

"Gu...Miss Gu, what...what are you going to do?" The maid who had never said anything looked at Gu Xiaowu with some fear, not understanding what she did wrong to be punished like this.

"It will be free soon, so you don't have to be afraid, it won't hurt." Gu Xiaowu didn't intend to explain too much, took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from his bosom, opened the bottle stopper, and poured out two pills. Black pills.

The pills are not big, at most the size of the fingernail of a little finger, and it also exudes a burst of fragrance.

"Miss Gu, what did the slave girl do wrong? Please tell the slave girl, can I change my past? Please let the slave girl go!" The maid fell to the ground tremblingly, tears streaming down her face.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that you listened to something you shouldn't have listened to." After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaowu stuffed a pill into the mouth of the maid.

The maid lost her anger before she even had time to struggle, everything was just as Gu Xiaowu said, it really didn't hurt at all.

The remaining maid didn't even beg for mercy, she stretched out her hand to Gu Xiaowu and put it in her mouth.

After confirming that both of them had lost their vitality, Gu Xiaowu was relieved.

Sighing softly, Gu Xiaowu turned around and walked out.

"Your Highness..." Luochen hurried in.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Chen slightly paused the hand holding the pen, and raised his eyes to look at Luochen.

It's rare to see Luochen like this, could something have happened?

Luo Chen frowned, walked to his master's side, and whispered something in his ear.

The voice was so small that no one could hear it except him and Dugu Chen.

With a snap, a drop of thick ink was rendered on the almost completed landscape painting.

Although what he heard just now ruined one of his paintings, he didn't feel distressed, on the contrary, he was a little happy.

As for the reason, he didn't want to go into it.

"Gu knows, be careful about the aftermath." Dugu Chen suppressed the joy in his heart, and deliberately said in a calm voice.

He is happy and doesn't want to be discovered.

Watching Luochen leave, Duguchen put away the paintings on the table.

Although it had been destroyed, he didn't want to throw it away, and kept it as a souvenir.

After this night, it seemed that something had been changed, but no one noticed it, or no one paid attention to it.

The closer you get to Nanban, the warmer the weather will be.

It seemed that after that night, the speed of the journey kept accelerating.

It took them more than a month to travel from Jiangning City to Nanman's capital.

Take off the thick fox fur and put on a thin spring shirt.

Dugu Chen led the large team into Nanman's palace, while Gu Xiaowu and Yan Feng stayed outside the palace.

Although it is not difficult for Dugu Chen to get Gu Xiaowu into Nanman's palace, but Gu Xiaowu doesn't want to get into Nanman's palace.

After all, the palace is no better than outside the palace. What she wants to do is not convenient in the palace.

At the time of parting, Dugu Xun secretly stuffed a note into Gu Xiaowu's hand while he was not prepared.

Gu Xiaowu understood, held the note in his hands, and went into an inn with Yanfeng.

Duguxun didn't write too much, but told her to wait patiently.

Gu Xiaowu burned the note and let Yanfeng go out by himself, while he changed into dark men's clothing, and when night fell, he set off for the brothel he had passed by.

The reason why she went to such a place was not that she liked the Fengyue place better, but she was actually just going to inquire about the news.

Asked for an Accord, found a flower girl, Gu Xiaowu just sat on the couch, tapping the low table next to him with his right index finger.

"Young master, do you want to listen to the music?" The flower lady asked meaningfully, she had never seen such a strange guest after staying here for several years.

"Don't be so troublesome, just sit down!" Gu Xiaowu pointed to the other end of the couch, motioning for the flower girl to sit down.

"What's your name?" Gu Xiaowu asked in a low voice, she didn't want to talk to someone who didn't even know his name.

"My family's name is Peony." The flower girl named Mudan replied softly.

I don't know if the voices of all the flower girls are so alluring, even Gu Xiaowu finds Peony's voice very alluring, with a touch of sexy and delicate, but it doesn't make people feel artificial.

"Peony? It's a good name." It's weird, it's downright tacky.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your compliment." Mudan smiled softly, really without showing her teeth, her brows and eyes were full of shyness.

Gu Xiaowu poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "I won't listen to the music tonight, but I just want to ask you some questions. As long as you answer my questions properly, these are yours."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaowu took out a stack of bank notes with a large denomination and put them on the low table.

Mudan showed a clear smile, nodded and said: "My lord, please ask, I must know everything without saying nothing."

It is not so easy to make money without losing your virginity.

"Have people from Yan Kingdom arrived?" I haven't contacted Ah Zhi for a long time, and I don't know if she has arrived in Nanman.

"Back to your son, the people from Yan Kingdom arrived the day before yesterday." Mudan said meekly.

Yuecheng is closer to Nanman's capital than Jiangning City, and most of the girls in Yan are good at riding and shooting, so it's not surprising to arrive a day or two earlier.

"Have you ever met this person?" Gu Xiaowu took out Gu Xizhi's portrait. Although she knew the possibility was very small, she still couldn't help asking.

Peony held the portrait in her hand and looked at it confidently.

After a while, Peony finally put down the portrait in her hand.

"Master Hui, the person in this portrait, the slave family, had a relationship with him once."

"What's his name? Where did you meet?" Trying to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Gu Xiaowu asked calmly.

"The slave family does not know the name of this young master, and it was just a coincidence that they met this young master. A few days ago, the slave family went out to a temple fair with their personal servant girl, and the slave family met this young master at the Moon Lao Temple outside the city." Although she just passed by, she had a deep impression on him.

He is obviously such a person with a sense of presence, but it will give people a feeling that he may disappear at any time.

Moon Temple?Gu Xiaowu lowered his eyes, but couldn't figure out why that person went to Yuelao Temple.

"Do you know where the people of Yan Kingdom live?" Gu Xiaowu asked again, although she had heard that they would live in the palace, but she forgot to ask which palace they lived in.

If she rushed into the palace to find Ah Zhi, she might be arrested as an assassin.

Although her skill is not likely to fall into the hands of those people, but if she tries to startle the snake, it may be difficult to get in again in the future.

"I don't know." She was just a little flower girl, how could she know such a thing?

"The third princess of Nanman? What's her name, what kind of person is she?" I remember Ah Zhi once said that she had a feud with the third princess of Nanman. Although she said that on purpose, she still took it to heart.

Hearing this, Mudan already understood that the young man in front of him was not from the Southern Man.

"The third princess' name is Feng Xiyu. It is rumored that the third princess is unruly and willful, and she is an extremely difficult woman, but the slave family has never seen the third princess, so the slave family does not know if she is as rumored."

Phoenix language?Gu Xiaowu frowned slightly, was it a coincidence?The name of the son of Tianchen's No. [-] grain merchant and the name of Nanman's third princess are so similar!

"Is there a prince named Feng Xiyan in Nanban?" Gu Xiaowu asked suddenly.

"Feng Xiyan?" Mudan showed a rather surprised look, and the horror in her eyes disappeared in a flash.

"Well, the sunset of the setting sun, the color of the color." Gu Xiaowu nodded, seeing Peony's panic in his eyes.

Hearing Gu Xiaowu's words, Mudan seemed relieved.

"Returning to your son, there was indeed a prince named Xiyan in Nanban, but it was not the Xiyan that you said. The prince's name was Xi, the words of the words." Speaking of this, Mudan seemed quite For the look of scruples.

"Zeng? How do you say that?" Gu Xiaowu grasped the inaccuracy in Mudan's words.

Are there different words with the same pronunciation?Is it a coincidence or...

"The prince died 14 years ago. At that time, the emperor had to rest for three days, and he also ordered that the whole country should not eat meat or drink alcohol for seven days. At that time, my family was only four years old, because my family members died that year. That's why the slave family remembers it so clearly." Mudan said lightly.

Gu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but admire that Mudan is really a smart person.

Before she could ask her why she remembered it so clearly, she actually took the initiative to talk about the reason why she remembered it.

Feng Xiyan... died 14 years ago?

"How old was that prince when he died?" Gu Xiaowu asked suddenly, he had an answer ready to come out, but he was not so sure.

Mudan looked at Gu Xiaowu in surprise, lowered her head and said, "Young master, this servant's memory is not very clear, I only vaguely remember that he was about ** years old. Later, the servant's family heard from the older generation that the emperor had already planned to set up Prince Xiyan is now the crown prince, but unfortunately that prince has passed away unfortunately, the emperor has been sad for a long time because of this!"

** years old?The ages are almost the same. It would be great if I could find this portrait of Feng Xiyan. Although she is only ** years old, it can almost confirm her doubts in her heart.

Gu Xiaowu pushed the bank note in front of Mudan, and said coldly: "These are all yours, but it's better to control your own mouth. If it spreads today, my son is I don't mind getting some more blood on my hands."

After finishing speaking, he retracted the hand that was pressing on the bank note, got up and walked out.

The oppressive feeling on her body finally disappeared, but Mudan was already sweating profusely.
