"General Yan, there's no need to knock. Lord Chu went out early this morning."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid the sash in her storage ring.
Murong Xun was also feeling guilty, so he didn't notice Yan Jiu's (Xia Yixin) strange behavior. He awkwardly asked with a laugh, "General Yan, did you sleep well last night?"
"...It's alright." Xia Yixin replied, then noticed Murong Xun's expression was a little stiff. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, hehe, it's nothing..." Murong Xun continued to laugh awkwardly.
"???" Xia Yixin felt that Murong Xun was a bit strange.
In fact, Murong Xun felt guilty.
Murong Shao got drunk last night, and only when he woke up this morning did he realize how foolish Madam Murong had done.
She went so far as to arrange for several women from the Murong family to be secretly hidden in the guest room bed. When Murong Shao found out in the morning, he was terrified. What was even more frightening was that Madam Murong told him that the two young ladies from the Murong family had been packed up and sent back to her bedroom by someone unknown in the middle of the night.
None of the Murong family's guards could identify who it was.
Murong Shao knew that the only ones who could do this were Chu Mubai's subordinates. He was very uneasy. He ran to find Chu Mubai in the morning but couldn't find him. Later, he saw Yan Jiu (Xia Yixin) wandering around. He hesitated for a moment before coming over to test the waters.
This was something that Murong Xun found difficult to talk about.
However, it's unclear whether the other party genuinely didn't know or was pretending not to. In any case, it's good that General Yan wasn't angry. Hopefully, he'll need to apologize to Chu Mubai.
Xia Yixin was unaware of Murong Xun's thoughts.
She waited in the manor until the sun was high in the sky, but Chu Mubai did not return. She guessed that he could not leave Rongcheng today. Ignoring the Murong family ladies who kept running in front of her, pretending to drop handkerchiefs and fall down, she ran to the Xiong Hu Army stationed outside the city to check on the situation.
Little did she know that this trip would lead to something terrible, as she learned something that angered her.
"You said they went to a brothel last night!?" Xia Yixin's face darkened.
Last night, while the Xiong Hu Division was stationed outside the city, two squad leaders couldn't resist the temptation and sneaked into the city to visit brothels.
This is a matter of military discipline.
Xia Yixin left the military camp with a dark face. The soldier who brought the news secretly swallowed his saliva, praying that the two captains wouldn't get beaten too badly.
The Xiong Hu Division is Xia Yixin's life's work. Although they have won the battle, we absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing to happen and damage the morale of the entire team, otherwise it would be a devastating disaster.
It was afternoon, and the largest brothel in Chengdu was still half-closed, with only some courtesans who had just woken up and guests who had stayed there the night before being intimate.
When Xia Yixin barged in with a dark expression, she terrified the madam.
The madam recognized "him" at a glance, and exclaimed with surprise and delight, "General Yan? What brings you here...?"
"I'm here to find someone." Xia Yixin took out two gold ingots from her bosom and quickly went up to the second floor under the madam's gleaming eyes.
Qionglou is a three-story building, mainly red and pink, clearly a place of entertainment, with a faint scent of rouge in the air.
The courtesans who came out upon hearing the sound were dressed in revealing yet elegant clothes. Some of them let out a soft cry upon seeing "him," looking incredibly shy.
"Hey, wait a minute, General Yan, there are still some guests..." When the madam realized what was happening, she found that "he" had already pushed open several doors. She was so frightened that she quickly chased after him to stop him, but she was no match for Xia Yixin. Xia Yixin's cold gaze alone was enough to scare her away.
In fact, Xia Yixin didn't really intend to search for them one by one. She deliberately made a big fuss to alert them.
Sure enough, as soon as she pushed open the two doors, two disheveled men rushed out of a room on the third floor.
With a light leap, she landed on the third floor, blocking their path, her face as cold as ice.
"Wang Er, Li San, it seems you two had a good time last night, hmm?"
Wang Er and Li San were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud. "General Yan, please spare us! We were just confused for a moment..."
Without saying a word, Xia Yixin drew her sword, Shang Xie.
The black blade, radiating murderous intent, caused the courtesans inside the building to gasp in alarm.
The two captains were trembling with fear, their faces pale. They knew they would be subject to military law upon their return.
escape!
Terrified, the two instinctively tried to escape. One jumped down three stories, while the other leaped up and ran away.
Their actions undoubtedly angered Xia Yixin even more. Her martial arts skills were already among the top five in her class. She first easily lifted Wang Er, who was trying to escape, up, immobilized him, and threw him to the ground. Then she kicked Li San, who had escaped to the second floor, flying away.
Peng!
Li San screamed and flew backward for more than ten meters, just managing to smash open the door of a locked side room.
Xia Yixin picked up Li San with a sullen face and was about to leave when she inadvertently glanced into the room and immediately stopped.
Chu Mubai was actually inside the house, and there was a woman with an elegant appearance sitting opposite him, looking at the two intruders in horror.
Although the man and woman in the room were sitting properly facing each other, the atmosphere was incredibly ambiguous.
What a shrewd Chu Mubai.
So it turns out they came to the brothel early this morning.
Although she knew rationally that Chu Mubai was not that kind of person, he never looked up at her from beginning to end, instead slowly sipping his tea.
A surge of anger welled up inside her.
bass!
With a cold smile, she turned around without a word, picked up Wang San and Li Er, threw them to the terrified madam, and left the brothel with a sullen face.
After the person left, the elegant woman, who had been frightened, looked at Chu Mubai with concern, "Master, was that General Yan just now...?"
"This is none of your business. Find some time to leave Rongcheng and live your own life." Chu Mubai put down his teacup, his voice cold and deep.
