Duan Gouqiong glanced at Shao Lecheng and said, "Oh, I forgot. We still have to hurry on our way."
Then Duan Gouqiong quickly dressed, very quickly...
Shao Lecheng: “…”
Afterwards, the three of them had their meal and continued their journey together. However, Shao Lecheng was listless and looked very unwell. Duan Gouqiong was wearing a dress with a very high neckline. She hunched her neck and kept trying to cover herself up, and she looked obviously guilty.
Ni Yueshan raised her lips and smiled. She found that the person was gone early in the morning. Perhaps she and Shao Lecheng had become a real couple!
Shao Lecheng waited for the clouds to clear and the bright moon to appear?
When he arrived at Tufan's place, he could already sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere inside the city while he was still outside it.
Duan Gouqiong stretched his neck out of curiosity, "Why do I seem to hear screams coming from outside?"
Shao Lecheng frowned: "I heard it too. Wait here for me, I'll go and find out!"
Qingfeng, who was driving the carriage, said, "I'll go!"
He picked up the sword beside him and jumped down.
Shao Lecheng and others were waiting. Qingfeng walked into the imperial city calmly and saw many soldiers in the city grabbing women and dragging them in one direction. He felt very strange. The soldiers grabbed women in such a high-profile manner, and no one came out to uphold justice. If someone didn't know, they would think that Tufan was a destroyed country?
Qingfeng walked towards the soldier standing nearby, threw out a silver ingot, and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why are they arresting women?"
The soldier looked at Qingfeng and said, "You're not from Tufan, are you? You don't know this? These women are afraid of death. Our king has a unique taste. He likes virgins. After a night of fun, all women must die! So over time, this news spread. Who wouldn't be afraid of death?"
Qing Feng suddenly realized: "Then, no one tried to dissuade the king?"
"What's there to persuade? You're already a king. If you can't even satisfy the needs of your harem, what's the point of being a king? You're just a foreigner. What are you doing here in Tufan?"
"Of course I came to visit Tufan's relatives!"
As he spoke, he walked out, obviously not wanting to talk any more.
Ni Yueshan and the others were still waiting obediently in the carriage. Qingfeng came over and said, "The city is arresting women. They're sent to the palace as brides for one night and then executed. That's why we hear screams. I believe it will die down soon!"
Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong looked at each other. Is this so ridiculous?
But they still entered the city. Just as Qingfeng had guessed, the woman grabbed it and the city returned to its original state, as if the screams they heard at the beginning were an illusion.
Duan Gouqiong couldn't help but ask the people in the restaurant curiously: "The king captured women and enjoyed them like this, don't you feel resentful?"
Duan Gouqiong lay down in front of the counter, looking at the shopkeeper, who quickly made a gesture to silence her: "Shh, shh, auntie, how dare you say such things! Be careful that others hear it!"
"Didn't I say it quietly? Are you telling me secretly?"
The shopkeeper sighed, "So what if we have grievances? We are the people, the subjects, and we must obey the king! I hope the king will get tired of playing with us soon, and then everything will be fine!"
Duan Gouqiong thought this was ridiculous and that such a tyrant was unforgivable.
She walked towards the restaurant, but as soon as she entered the room, Shao Lecheng rushed towards her and held her in his arms.
Duan Gouqiong looked at Shao Lecheng in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Don't you know the evil habits of King Tufan? If you still keep your innocence, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Duan Gouqiong chuckled: "It's better to keep it, so I can get closer to the king!"
Shao Lecheng looked at Duan Gouqiong in confusion: "Why are you approaching him?"
"Approach the King to find the blueprints!"
"Don't take the risk of doing anything stupid!" Shao Lecheng's face was full of worry. Who did Duan Gouqiong think was Xian Chang or Cang Lie here?
Can she do whatever she wants?
Duan Gouqiong grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Are you stupid? If we don't rely on the king's authority, how are the four of us going to find it? Rely on our hands or feet? Are you familiar with Tufan? I'm afraid you'll search until your beard turns white and you still won't find the map."
Shao Lecheng's expression was very serious: "I won't allow you to take any risks. If we can't find the blueprints, then we can just leave it at that. It's no big deal! We don't have to hand that thing over!"
Duan Gouqiong put a finger on Shao Lecheng's lips and said, "No! How can I bear to see something like this?"
"What do the people of Tufan have to do with you?" Shao Lecheng suddenly found that he didn't quite understand Duan Gouqiong.
Duan Gouqiong said with a headache: "Oh, I'm a little tired. I'll take a rest first. Call me when it's time for dinner!"
She went straight to bed after that.
When it was time for dinner, Duan Gouqiong seemed not to have mentioned her previous idea. When she heard people in the restaurant talking about the one-night bride, she did not interrupt. After eating, she returned to her room.
Shao Lecheng looked at her back with some concern, then he looked at Ni Yueshan and said, "Yueshan, please keep an eye on Gou Qiong for me!"
Ni Yueshan looked at him in confusion: "Why?"
"Gou Qiong is a little abnormal. Anyway, you should sleep with her tonight!"
"What about you?"
Shao Lecheng's face was solemn. "Of course I'm going to inquire about the blueprints. Don't worry, I'm used to operating at night!"
After saying that, he also hurried upstairs. Ni Yueshan felt that both of them seemed a little strange.
When it was time to go to bed, Ni Yueshan took the initiative to go to the next room. Duan Gouqiong was a little surprised when she saw Ni Yueshan: "Sister Yueshan? Why are you here?"
