Chapter 497: Brothel?

After some thinking, Qin Feng decided to tell Lie Ying about his encounter with the fortune teller during the day.

Upon hearing this, Lie Ying raised an eyebrow, “Can we trust this person of unknown origin?”

“It’s hard to say whether we can trust him, but he shouldn’t be our enemy.”

“Although he has changed his appearance, his temperament and behaviour was very similar to someone I first met in the Imperial City. I suspect they may be the same person. He was the one who warned me to beware of evil people who set traps.”

“Moreover, my wife is certain that he is a high-ranking Literature Saint of the Dao Lineage, with a realm above mine, and his divination skills are probably superior to mine,” Qin Feng said seriously.

In fact, Qin Feng still had many doubts about the middle-aged fortune teller. For example, why did he continue to help him, and what was his true identity?

However, regarding the changes in the Western Region, these doubts do not need to be resolved immediately.

“If Military Advisor Qin believes in this person, then I have no problem. I’m just curious, what kind of place is the Peony Pavilion and where exactly is it?” Lie Ying asked curiously.

Qin Feng looked around. His two wives were out of the room, patrolling and training near the tavern.

He leaned closer to Lie Ying and whispered, “I asked the shopkeeper during the day. The Peony Pavilion is the most famous brothel in Qiongyu City.”

“A brothel?!” Lie Ying’s face showed a strange expression. “What kind of information can we get from such a place?”

Qin Feng disagreed and explained, “It’s a place of fireworks, where all kinds of people mingle. Regardless of your identity, you can enter it.”

“Compared to taverns and teahouses, brothels are the place where the most information is gathered. It’s also clear that something unusual is happening in the western regions and Qiongyu City.”

“The enemy is lurking in the dark, while we are in the light. If we don’t take the initiative, we’ll be too passive.”

“I think, regardless of whether there is anything we want to know in the Peony Pavilion, we should take a look.”

Lie Ying thought for a while, rubbing his chin, and then nodded in agreement, “Military Advisor Qin is right, then I will wait for your good news.”

“Hmm?” Qin Feng was confused for a moment, and asked in surprise, “General Lie, what do you mean? Aren’t you going?”

Lie Ying waved his hand, “I, Lie, have been on the battlefield for nearly thirty years, and I have never been to such a place of extravagance. If the soldiers found out, where would I put my old face?”

Qin Feng said earnestly, “This is all to reveal the truth of this place, the soldiers of the Military War Duke’s Army will understand you.”

“Whether they understand or not doesn’t matter, my main concern is that they will spread the news of me going to the brothel with my wife. When that time comes...”

Perhaps thinking of this scene, the tall and sturdy Lie Ying trembled all over.

“So, using this method, can I write some ancient poems to strengthen the soldiers going to war?”

After careful consideration, if the brave and disciplined Divine Marquis Army or Military War Duke Army could enhance the strength of each soldier through literary treasures, the benefits they can obtain will definitely be far beyond imagination.

“Given the absolute disparity in strength, the number of troops doesn’t matter.”

“But if my idea succeeds, it could change the situation!”

Thinking of this, Qin Feng looked excited and eager to try.

“It’s just that the demons and ghost trouble mentioned in Qiongyu City’s letter has not appeared and those mysterious ghost-faced people have left no trace.”

“The Duke’s army is all stationed outside the city. Even if I want to try, there is no way.”

After pondering for a while, Qin Feng decided to use the Star Observation Technique first to see if he could foresee anything useful.

He directed his consciousness to the sky and drew on the aura of the Destiny Star.

With the experience from the last time, Qin Feng now performed the Star Observation Technique effortlessly.

Again, sparse images appeared, flashing through his mind one after the other.

But they were all useless information.

Crowds of people coming and going in the market.

People from the Demon Slaying Department bustling about.

In the midst of the ordinary scenes, a small, simple temple flashed by.

At that moment, in a dark corner hidden within Qiongyu City, Ghost Buddha sensed something and stood up.

“Right under my nose, how dare you openly perform Star Observation Technique so openly?”

“I want to see who the fool is.”

Ghost Buddha lifted the grass hat to reveal three Buddha heads, each with mocking eyes.

Six arms suddenly clasped together, and a black swastika appeared behind him, emitting a black aura that soared into the sky!
