Chapter 249: Inquiring for Information]
Chen Fenghe didn't waste any time talking to him. He went up and knocked the man unconscious in no time.
Then, she took out a set of military clothes similar to the one worn by the warrior from the space and put them on. Then she jumped out of the window and climbed over the wall in a few steps and jumped into the sixth courtyard.
Qu Wenmin was entertaining his soldiers and generals. There were layers of courtyards from the inside to the outside. The innermost seventh courtyard was where the second prince and the left and right deputy generals were entertained. The sixth courtyard was for the lieutenant generals, the fifth for the thousand-man commanders, the fourth for the centurions, and so on.
Therefore, Chen Fenghe guessed that if Qu Wenmin really had that kind of thoughts about Qin Mengyue, then Qin Mengyue should be in the innermost seventh courtyard at this moment.
She could have used space to teleport directly to the seventh level, but she thought that Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu should be protecting her in the dark at this moment. If she didn't leave this room for a long time, she was afraid that Xiao Yunshuo would lose his patience and break in. If he couldn't find her by then, it would be difficult to explain, so she decided to disguise herself.
Fortunately, everyone was drinking and chatting happily, so the defense was not so strict. Chen Fenghe reached the sixth courtyard without any danger.
There was a bustling crowd between the sixth and seventh courtyards, and there was no clear boundary between them.
Chen Fenghe was wearing the clothes of a centurion, so she hid in the dark first, went back into the space and got a set of servant's clothes to change into, then she tried her best to pretend to be calm and blend into the crowd and entered the seventh courtyard.
All of the people here were Qu Wenmin's trusted subordinates and servants, so Chen Fenghe didn't dare to show off. After all, even if everyone was drunk, strangers were still strangers.
Servants usually like to talk about their master's affairs, so Chen Fenghe quickly found out the information he wanted.
"I heard that our general brought a woman back from Wanhua Tower. I wonder what kind of beautiful person she is that could attract the attention of the general who has always been so self-disciplined and cautious."
"You don't know this, do you? I just heard Admiral Li and Admiral Wang, drunk, whispering about this woman who was our general's childhood sweetheart. Back then, before the general became successful, her family promised her to someone else. Now that she's in trouble, and she happened to meet the general, wouldn't their childhood friendship have stirred their hearts and made them fall head over heels?"
"So there is such a reason? It's a pity that our mistress is very powerful. She might not be able to tolerate this woman, right?"
"No matter how powerful she is, our mistress has not given birth to a child for the general in all these years, and the general has never taken a concubine, which is already enough respect for the lady. This time, I'm afraid even the mistress will find it difficult to stop it."
Chen Fenghe approached and said with a smile, "I wonder where this woman is now? If she is taken into the general's residence as his second wife in the future, we should naturally be more attentive and flattering to her."
The servants who were questioned had also secretly drunk quite a bit of wine, and their visions were blurry. They didn't quite realize that Chen Fenghe was a stranger, and thought she was a new servant. They sneered and scolded, "With your ability, you still want to flatter the general's favored second wife? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What a scoundrel! Even if I tell you where she is, can you flatter her? It's a joke! Look, our future second wife is in that building, go! I want to see how you can rise to prominence by stepping on the heads of all of us!"
The group of people who said this laughed sarcastically.
Chen Fenghe didn't take it seriously. She smiled awkwardly and quietly retreated behind the rockery.
