After a while, the carriage stopped at Xuanfeng Teahouse. The door was bustling with people and business was pretty good.

When she took Xiaoxue out of the carriage, those people were not surprised. There was also a little girl in the crowd pointing at the leopard and said, "Mom! It's a big white cat!" When the woman who was called saw the leopard, she couldn't help but cover her daughter's mouth. It was obviously a noble person who could not be offended. It was better for them, the common people, to stay away from it.

Seeing that the nobleman who got off the carriage had no intention of blaming him, he let go of his daughter's hand. Unexpectedly, his daughter ran to the leopard and stroked its tail.

Tong Wen Yao saw Xiaoxue's shadow swinging its tail back and forth, and it seemed like there was a little girl dancing on the shadow's tail. She couldn't help but look back and saw Xiaoxue teasing a little girl with her tail. At this time, the little girl had already held Xiaoxue's tail and was looking at her with wide eyes.

Seeing her looking at her, the little girl smiled back at her and praised her happily, "Sister, how did you raise the kitten to such a big size? I also have a kitten at home, but no matter how I feed it, it won't grow up."

The woman quickly stepped forward to apologize, saying, "Please calm down, my lord. The child is ignorant. I will take her downstairs right away."

Tong Wenyao said, "Wait." A trace of annoyance flashed across the woman's face, and she begged for mercy. Tong Wenyao frowned and said, "Don't be so. I don't blame you."

Then she lowered her head and looked at the little girl and said, "Your kitten is not small because she wants to stay with you forever. Otherwise, if she grows so big, you won't be able to hold her." The little girl heard that it was indeed the case, and then smiled and said, "Sister, can you hold a big cat?" Tong Wenyao shook her head and said, "No."

The little girl smiled and said, "Then when I grow up, I will be able to hold the big cat too."

After she finished speaking, the woman pulled the little girl away, while the little girl hugged her mother's neck and waved to her.

"Goodbye, sister!"

After this interruption, Tong Wen Yao brought Xiao Xue and Xing Er into the teahouse. The decoration inside was similar to theirs, but it was more exquisite, and with the translucent silk, it looked hazy and mysterious.

Her uncle took her through the lobby and then through two doors before they arrived at the backyard.

There was a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard, now in full bloom, emitting a fragrant aroma. There was a well in the middle of the yard, and next to it was a vat of lotus flowers, now sprouting. Tong Wenyao approached and took a closer look, saying, "This location is a good choice." Across from Xuanfeng was a brothel, frequented by many. Although Xuanfeng was primarily a teahouse, it also had artists playing the qin. Overall, it was quite elegant, attracting many visitors, including businessmen who would discuss business and scholars who would occasionally gather.

As soon as she sat down, her uncle placed a map on the table. This map was a map from Dongsuizhou to Luzhou, and was more detailed.

"Ever since Lao Dou wrote to me, I sent someone to Luzhou to inspect the store. The day before yesterday, Luzhou sent me a letter saying they had already rented the store. I believe that by the time you go there, they will have already renovated it and are ready to open."

Tong Wen Yao nodded. They were going to Luzhou this time, and if possible, they would most likely go to Yue State. Only in their country would giant pythons appear.

The reason she opened the Xuanfeng Teahouse in Luzhou was simply because she spent a lot of time in Luzhou. Moreover, the Yue State was now eyeing the Gan State and trying to take the opportunity to annex Luzhou. Therefore, she could get information in time by establishing a base in Luzhou, so that they would not be in a passive position. Although it was far from the north, it was a matter of great importance. If she had enough money in the future, she would also consider opening Xuanfeng Teahouses all over the country to gather information and sell it.

His uncle said, "I have also inquired about Luzhou during this period. You should have met the governor of Luzhou in the capital."

Tong Wenyao looked at Luzhou marked on the map and asked, "Who is it?"

Her uncle said, "Li Hongwen of the Li family." Hearing this name, Tong Wenyao felt a surge of revulsion! Memories flooded back, all of them reflecting the original owner's dislike for Li Hongwen. In her memory, if her previous pursuit of Pei Guanyu was too persistent, then Li Hongwen's treatment of her was like a vampire leech, impossible to shake off.

Of course, the heroine originally relied on her father's military power and was not polite to Li Hongwen at all. Li Hongwen was not angry and continued to follow her. It was not until the Tong family was ransacked that Li Hongwen faded out of her sight. Unexpectedly, he now ran to this corner with no money to become the prefect.

This is wrong, very wrong. According to Li Hongwen's personality, he would never come here. Unless there is something that can tempt him and give him a big cake to hold him, then he will come to this remote place to be the prefect!

Counting the time, Li Hongwen has been here for more than one or two years, but no one knows what he is plotting.

She looked at her uncle and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Li Hongwen. Be careful and see what he is doing in Luzhou now."

His uncle asked, puzzled, "The people from Luzhou sent back a letter earlier, saying a few things about Li Hongwen. They all said that he was either living a life of luxury at the prefectural government or that he would occasionally go out for a few days every month."

Tong Wenyao caught the moment he left and asked, "What are you going out for? How long will you be gone?"

His uncle said, "The flower boat trip to Luhe usually takes three or four days."

Although it looked fine, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't see what it was. However, after her uncle said that, she put the matter at ease. She would go and have a look when the time came! However, in order to avoid being discovered by Li Hongwen when she went to Luzhou, she had to change her identity when she went to Luzhou.

After thinking about it, she changed herself into a weak scholar, but her words and actions were like those of a romantic scholar.

After resting in Dongsuizhou for two days, Tong Wenyao set off disguised as a man. Now her name is Su Jingwen, a young man from a wealthy family in Dongsuizhou. She heard that there were many good deer in Luzhou, so she took a boat to Luzhou to celebrate her father's birthday.

This time, he was taking Dongzi and the entire escort agency to Luzhou. Xing'er had asked her to stay in Dongsuizhou, and Xiaoxue would stay with her as usual. His uncle would be back in Luzhou in a few days, so they would go ahead.

With the experience of the last boat ride, Tong Wenyao quickly adapted to life on the boat. This time, they rented a small boat, a single-story one that could accommodate more than thirty people. After setting out to sea, they told the boatman they were going to Luzhou. He nodded and said, "I know. I've traveled this route hundreds of times. I could drive there with my eyes closed."

When they got on the boat, they bought a lot of food, so they would not be short of food. At night, the boatman found a deserted island to dock and rest on the island.

Dongzi came over and said, "Boss, I always feel like there's something on this island staring at me."
