C180 Ma'am You're Going to the Noodle House?

He took out half of the letter. Unknowingly, Qu Ling had a bad feeling about this.

This extremely bad feeling seemed to have originated from the letter in her hand.

Qu Ling's movements paused.

After a while, he carefully hid the letter in his chest.

In order to avoid affecting her plans for tonight, she had to come back and take note of the reply.

After hiding the letter and seeing that it was still early, Qu Ling planned to bring Xiao Yi and Xiao San out for a stroll.

Actually, the reason she stayed in Yu City was not all about the Soul Borrowing Gu.

Last year, when the South Wind House branch on East Street opened, she wanted to open another branch in the closest city.

He had previously spent a lot of time at the Huai Palace, so he had planned to open the third South Wind House room by the end of the year.

Since staying behind to do one thing, and doing two things too, Qu Ling decided to put the matter of opening a branch house on the agenda.

First was the selection of the location.

Qu Ling was not familiar with the city, before he left the tavern, he went to find the shopkeeper and asked: "What interesting places do you guys have here?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Even compared to the capital, there are a lot of fun places. It all depends on what the Madam wants to play with."

"Play with men, play with women."

"…"

When the waiter who was passing by heard this, he looked at Qu Ling with a horrified expression.

Qu Ling acted as if he did not see it, and said straightforwardly: "Your brothel is the most concentrated place, how do we go?"

This was very straightforward.

Many of those who heard the conversation turned to look at Zhang Xuan.

Xiao Yi and Xiao San lowered their heads, trying hard to reduce the feeling of existence.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses and wiped off his cold sweat. Waving his hand, he sent the waiter away.

After a long while, only then did he manage to find his voice and fearfully lead the way for Qu Ling.

Qu Ling thanked them and led Xiao Yi and Xiao San who had strange expressions on their faces out of the tavern.

"That madam …" A curious waiter walked up to the shopkeeper.

The owner glared at him unhappily, "You have nothing to do, right? Why don't you hurry up and go to work!"

The waiter was so scared that his entire body shivered, and he immediately scuttled away.

Only the manager remained on the spot and was stunned for a long time before heaving a heavy sigh.

Just as he was about to return to the counter, a shadow fell over him.

The shopkeeper raised his head, and when he saw who it was, his expression immediately changed. "Three …" Third Young Master! "

The travel worn Murong Yan said indifferently, and asked: "Where are you now?"

The manager pointed at the door. "Just now."

Pausing, he then added, "He went to Peach Blossom Lane."

Peach Blossom Lane was a famous fireworks place in Wu City.

Just as Murong Yan was about to leave, the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him. "Third Young Master, this lowly one has seen second son … "I've seen Madam Xu."

Just as Xiao Jingyue came out from the palace, he heard the guard at the gate say that there was another letter from Yu Cheng.

When he received the letter from the guard, he realized that it was actually from Xiao Yi.

Xiao Jingyue frowned, he stood at the entrance and opened the letter on the spot.

The letter was not long, and after he roughly read through the contents, Xiao Jingyue's face turned black.

Seeing that, the Xiao Er behind Xiao Jingyue immediately asked: "Did something happen?"

Xiao Jingyue threw the letter to Xiao Er and took the reins from his hands. He mounted his horse and rode away.

Xiao Er who was left behind grabbed the piece of paper in a daze, and randomly swept through it, his face changed slightly.

He hastily instructed the guards to keep the mansion safe, then led his horse to immediately chase after Xiao Jingyue.

At this time, the city gate was not closed yet. The two people, master and servant, rode their horses out of the city one after the other. The city gate guards who recognized them were greatly shocked.

One of the guards asked softly, "The General Xiao has left the city. There are only two hours left before the city gates close, so we … Should we wait for him? "

Another guard slapped him on the forehead and scolded in a bad mood, "What are you waiting for!? Let's not talk about how we can't bear it even if we have to close the city gates, are you sure that the General Xiao will definitely return tonight? "

The guard who had spoken earlier immediately fell silent.

At the same time, Chen Linye, who had successfully removed the parasite from the child, received the news that Xiao Jingyue was returning to his manor, and could not wait and rushed back.

He looked around but did not see Xiao Jingyue's figure. The happiness on Chen Linye's face faded and he gloomily asked the guard: Where is the general?

The guard answered honestly, "The general seems to have something important to do, so he left again."

Chen Linye frowned, "Important matter?"

Thinking about the relationship between General Chen and his family's General, as well as the letter that was sent by an envoy and seemed to be unconfidential, the guard honestly replied, "A messenger from Yu City delivered a letter in the afternoon. It was sent by Great Xiao. After reading the letter, the general's face did not look too good.

A letter from the city? Chen Linye was at a loss for a long time before he remembered that Qu Ling was still in Yu City.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Linye asked again: "Did the general say anything before he left?"

The guard shook his head, "No." Xiao Er ordered us to watch the mansion, and then we will leave together with the general. "

After Chen Linye heard this, he sighed and turned back.

To be able to make Xiao Jingyue this anxious, other than Qu Ling, there were no other thoughts.

However, since it was a letter sent by an envoy, it was not an urgent matter.

It was better for him to go back and look at the unlucky fellow who just got rid of the Gu.

The master and servant who had already left the city did not know about the small matter at the General Mansion entrance and were rushing towards the direction of Yu Cheng on horseback.

Xiao Jingyue raised his head and looked at the sky which was starting to darken, his face gloomy.

On that day, he was finally willing to allow Qu Ling to stay in Yu Cheng. On one hand, it was because he needed to seize this opportunity to investigate the Soul Borrowing Gu, and on the other hand, it was because Yu Cheng had entered the capital. Even if something were to happen to her over at Yu Cheng and with Xiao Yi and Xiao San blocking her, he would still make it in time once he received the news.

He only hoped that this time, it would be as he had expected, he would be able to reach her side.

Qu Ling followed the path the shopkeeper pointed to and went to visit the Peach Blossom Lane, which was known as the "Drunk or Dreaming Land".

Most of the places under the heaven and earth were the same. After entering, the first thing that came in was the smell of rouge and water powder.

The three of them walked from one end of the street to the other, rejecting the invitations of countless girls.

On the riverside where there was nobody, Xiao San's face was ashen, his face filled with disgust as he continued to pat his clothes.

Xiao Yi stood calmly by Qu Ling's side, holding a pen and a small notebook.

Qu Ling turned his head and looked at Peach Blossom Lane, which was covered with red lanterns, and sighed: "I never thought that in this small city, the Land of Joyous Development would be better than the capital."

The entire street was densely packed with brothels, with many "elegant" places that didn't sell anything in the middle. There were even some noodle houses of the same type as South Wind House, which was more than two times better than the bustling but miscellaneous West Street in the capital city.

Xiao Yi was about to write in his small book, but when he heard Qu Ling's words, his hand paused for a moment and said: "It's hard to avoid being strict with the feet of the Son of Heaven."

Qu Ling nodded his head in agreement, then said: "There are a lot of brothels on this street, but there's only one in the brothel. Since we have a competitor, the so-called know yourself and know your enemy well, it's fine if you have matters to attend to tonight. But tomorrow night, we'll go to the noodle house and take a look to see what the quality of the little boy inside is like. "

In addition to the feudal atmosphere of today's society, brothels were not as popular as brothels and had a very small audience. If one wanted to compete with the other restaurants in terms of customers, one must not be reckless in arranging their ideas and the quality of their servants.

Qu Ling thought with great experience.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Yi heard that Qu Ling was going to the noodle house to look for the little boy, she was so scared that her whole body shivered, and the pen in her hand dropped.

Xiao San who was patting his clothes did not care about the disgusting scent anymore, he raised his voice and asked in disbelief: "Madam, you are going to the noodle house?"
