The entire capital was busy with the deaths of Qiao Yuchen and Chen Siyuan, unaware that the dead, in the eyes of others, had already arrived in Huzhou.
Chen Siyuan and her men disguised themselves as a group of merchants and headed to Fuzhou first.
They discovered that things were different from what they had heard in the capital.
After searching for several days without finding any useful clues, they decided to come to Huzhou.
Things were different when we got to Huzhou.
Fuzhou and Huzhou are not too far apart.
Fuzhou is a mountain range that stretches as far as the eye can see, while Huzhou is a paradise on earth.
Every place is extremely prosperous.
Once you come to this place, no one wants to leave.
Chen Siyuan stayed here for three days, and those three days had a great impact on her.
Far from the capital and the greed of those in power, this place is a paradise for merchants.
If you have the ability, it's not difficult to gain a foothold in this place.
You can also find all sorts of strange and unusual goods here.
Having lived two lifetimes, Chen Siyuan had never seen so many strange things.
I looked at it, and looked at it, and couldn't put it down.
Chen Siyuan had observed carefully that Huzhou is located by the sea, and many things are transported here by sea.
Naturally, the price is also very attractive.
With money, there's nothing you can't buy.
In this place of extravagance and decadence, the art gallery also does very good business.
The street is lined with art galleries, and every evening you can see all sorts of beautiful women on the street.
People who lack self-control will quickly become distracted by this place.
Once you're in, you can't leave until you've squandered all your money.
Despite the beautiful location, Chen Siyuan was in a very bad mood.
So much time has passed, and all we know is that Qiao Yuchen was suppressing bandits in Fuzhou, but was killed by them instead.
She found this place again based on what Qiao Yuchen had said before he left. So much time has passed, but there is still no trace of Qiao Yuchen. She is very worried.
Another day passed without results. Under the cover of night, she walked alone on the street, without letting Chunlan, Chunping, and the others follow her.
As evening approached, apart from the art gallery street, the surrounding streets began to quiet down.
Chen Siyuan walked alone on the street, watching the few pedestrians on the street, and the night watchman struck the clapper, which sounded desolate.
Chen Siyuan arrived at a tavern.
She wanted to drink, to drown her sorrows, even if it was just to get temporarily confused.
Once inside, she was very generous, ordering two jars of wine and slowly drinking them while watching people walk by at the door.
After drinking for an unknown amount of time, the shopkeeper came up to her and said, "Madam, our shop is closed."
Chen Siyuan and her group formed a merchant caravan. She dressed as a lady to avoid trouble. Actually, it would have been better if she had dressed as a man. Unfortunately, looking at Chen Siyuan's appearance, she wouldn't have looked like a man even if she had dressed up as one.
Chen Siyuan looked up at the shopkeeper, took out some loose silver, got up, and left with the unfinished drink.
The wine here isn't top-notch; it's rather bland. At this moment, Chen Siyuan just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being drunk.
The more she drank, the clearer her mind became, which made her very distressed.
The shopkeeper watched Chen Siyuan leave, and seeing her dressed as a lady, assumed she was a poor person who had been kicked out of her husband's house and had nowhere to stay.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan stepped out the door, braving the wind.
Chen Siyuan's mind cleared up a bit again.
Looking around, there were even fewer people on the street. As she looked around, she suddenly felt very pitiful.
She has a family, but she can't find her way home.
She carried a jar of wine and wandered aimlessly, gradually passing a cluster of low-rise houses and heading towards the bustling city not far away.
When Chen Siyuan arrived at the street near the art gallery and saw the woman still standing at the entrance soliciting customers, she suddenly smiled.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that Qiao Yuchen would come to a place like this to drown his sorrows?
He chuckled to himself, turned and left, but then he heard the sound of water nearby.
Chen Siyuan then discovered that there was a river not far from this street.
She smiled as she smelled the scent in the air.
The people of Huzhou really know how to enjoy life; they managed to bring the sea breeze here, which is truly remarkable.
Not only that, but red lanterns are also hung along both sides of the river, which look like a red fire dragon in the night.
Chen Siyuan followed the lantern.
I randomly found a place to sit down.
Facing the seawater that had been brought in, they drank heartily from the wine jar.
The wine was running low, and Chen Siyuan felt she hadn't had enough. She was staggering to her feet, preparing to buy more wine, when a wine jar was presented to her.
Chen Siyuan turned her head and saw Lü Ziming, whom she had met once before.
What is he doing here?
Considering this person's business background, it's not surprising that he came to this place.
What he was worried about was that, in the eyes of the people of the capital, he was already a dead man, and since this person had appeared in the capital, would he know that he was 'dead'?
If this gets back to the capital, who knows what might happen?
Chen Siyuan looked at the other person warily.
Lu Ziming sat down calmly to the side, saying, "You can run into acquaintances when you go out for drinks."
The last bit of relief Chen Siyuan felt vanished.
I had been trying to convince myself that this person probably didn't know me, but this statement clearly shattered my last hope.
"You should pretend you don't know me," Chen Siyuan said, taking a sip from the wine jar while still wondering whether she should silence him.
At this critical moment, the fact that she is still alive cannot be known to the people of the capital.
