Chapter 173 Danyang Sect

The next day at noon.

Xiao Mo was teaching Jiang Xin how to cook fish porridge in the kitchen.

Catfish has relatively few bones, especially the belly, which is just right for making fish porridge.

After sprinkling with chopped green onions, the fragrance is even more overwhelming.

The other parts of the catfish are fried and stir-fried with a few wild peppers and some shredded ginger. It tastes very delicious.

When Jiang Xin put a mouthful of fish into his mouth, his eyes lit up instantly and he ate a little faster than usual.

"I'm going into town to take a look. You just wait in the yard."

After lunch, Xiao Mo told Jiang Xin that he planned to go to the city today to find out some news about A Zi and exchange the gold for some silver.

But just when Xiao Mo turned around, Jiang Xin reached out and gently pulled the corner of Xiao Mo's clothes: "Can I go with you?"

Looking at Jiang Xin's delicate and graceful appearance, Xiao Mo frowned: "It might not be a good idea for you to go with me. You'll attract too much attention."

Jiang Xin has fair and delicate skin and exquisite facial features. She is obviously a beauty. In this cannibalistic Western Region, it is too easy for her to be targeted.

"It's okay, I have a solution." Jiang Xin hurried into the kitchen.

When Jiang Xin came out, her little face had been painted black by herself, just like the first time they met.

"That's all." Jiang Xin said confidently, "My mother and Sister Zi both told me before that I'm so good-looking, so when I go out I have to paint my face black and pretend to be a boy. Otherwise, I'll be sold easily."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I asked you to take a shower and change clothes, but you refused to do it. Were you afraid that I would see you clean and sell you out?"

Jiang Xin lowered her head, poking her two small fingers at each other, with guilt in her big watery eyes.

Although Jiang Xin didn't answer, looking at her expression, it seemed that she agreed.

Xiao Mo felt that if she had not passively taken a bath in the stream when she went fishing last night, she might have faced herself in a dirty state for several days.

Until she truly believes in herself.

"I don't blame you. It's a good thing to be vigilant. Since you want to go, let's go together."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Mo returned to the room, took out two or three pieces of gold, placed them against his chest, and then took Jiang Xin to Luofeng City.

Luofeng City is about an hour's journey from the abandoned village where Xiao Mo lives.

After Xiao Mo brought Jiang Xin into the city, he planned to go directly to the "Ma Ji Pawnshop" in the west of the city.

The business involved by the boss behind Ma Ji Pawnshop is similar to that of Mr. Fang.

As the saying goes, when colleagues meet, they are jealous of each other.

Even though Boss Ma and Mr. Fang appear to be on good terms with each other on the surface, they secretly wish others dead.

So even if Mr. Fang secretly sent people to look for those "bastards" that night, they would generally not be able to find Boss Ma.

Otherwise, Boss Ma would definitely spread the news that Mr. Fang had a concubine and his private money was stolen, making Mr. Fang lose face.

When he walked into the pawnshop, a waiter looked at Xiao Mo's tattered clothes and stretched out his hand to stop him, but when he saw that Xiao Mo had some gold pieces, he let him go.

Based on the current gold-silver exchange rate in Luofeng City in the Western Regions, the two taels of gold in Xiao Mo's arms can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver.

However, the pawnshop owner also guessed that the gold in the hands of the little beggar Xiao Mo was of unknown origin and he didn't know where it was stolen, so he deliberately lowered the price to fourteen taels of silver.

Finally, after several rounds of negotiation, Xiao Mo closed the deal at seventeen taels of silver.

There was no way, Xiao Mo felt that this was the highest price his dirty gold could get here.

Although if you go to a few more pawnshops, you might be able to get a few more coins.

However, this way, the possibility of exposing yourself will be much greater.

After exchanging the silver, Xiao Mo walked out of the pawnshop with the silver, and then pulled Jiang Xin to the backyard of Fengyue Tower in Luofeng City.

Although Fengyue Tower is a brothel.

But there is one characteristic of brothels, that is, there are people from all walks of life, and men, once they meet women, especially when lying in bed with women, are likely to open up and talk.

The thing about Fengyue Tower's proprietress's business skills is that she will organize the information told by some guests and act as an information dealer.

There are even people who specifically sell information to Fengyue Tower.

As for the guests being “leaked”?

All the news from my Fengyue Tower is just "guesswork" and not guaranteed to be true.

So there is no such thing as a "leak". All the news is just what I heard in Fengyue Tower.

As for whether you will come to sleep with the girls in our brothel in the future?

My Fengyuelou girl's figure and appearance are unique.

If you have the guts, don’t come here again.

Otherwise, when you come, keep your mouth shut and don't tell our girls everything.

If you really want to make a fuss, then go talk to my old boss, the Lord of Luofeng City.

In fact, Xiao Mo didn't have much confidence in whether he could find out any information about "Sister A Zi".

But what I didn’t expect was that Fengyue Tower actually had similar news.

"Little brother, what do you mean by a woman with a long sword, accompanied by three or four children? The woman with the sword has a mole at the corner of her eye, and she's about as tall as me."

After Xiao Mo gave three taels of silver, a woman in cool clothes and heavy makeup smiled at Xiao Mo.

"Yes." Xiao Mo nodded.

"That's quite a coincidence. There was indeed a guest before who said that he saw a woman with several children flying towards Danyang Sect.

Because this woman was indeed beautiful and her sword-controlling skills were impressive, the guest remembered her very clearly and mentioned her to the girl with some excitement afterwards.

"Danyang Sect?" Xiao Mo frowned, "What kind of sect is this?"

As soon as Xiao Mo finished asking, the woman looked at Xiao Mo again.

Xiao Mo's brow twitched, and he gave the other party another tael of silver.

"The Danyang Sect specializes in alchemy. The sect's rank is not high, and the Sect Master is only at the Golden Core Realm. As for their reputation, it's just that, and we don't know much about it.

After all, young man, you know that we are just a small brothel in a small town.

Although we can sell some information with the support of the City Lord, how much can we access? Even if we get a little deeper, even just a little bit, it won't make as much money as you do."

"I understand. Thank you, sister." Xiao Mo bowed.

"Hehehe..." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled. "You, little fellow, are quite polite, just like that scholar, and you're not bad looking either. What do you think? Do you want to marry into my Fengyue Tower and be my little husband?"
