Su Wenzhou recognized the person as the maid who had brought them the white fungus soup earlier.
"Your young lady?"
"General Su, there's no time to explain. My young lady said that if General Su doesn't take action this time, many of Mo Han's Chu soldiers will die at the hands of the Bei Li people, using our Great Chu's weapons."
Seeing that Su Wenzhou was still hesitant, the maid became anxious, "General Su, my young lady said that you are a general who hates evil and is not afraid of power, yet you are so indecisive. You are not even as good as my young lady, a weak woman."
"General, the young lady says this matter may be related to the Su family's treason case."
Hearing this, Su Wenzhou frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go!"
He could tell from the maid's expression that she wasn't faking it, so he decided to take a gamble. Going back to the capital was a gamble, and now was a gamble too.
The key point is that he knows someone is indeed secretly sabotaging the iron ore and weapons deal.
The maid handed the bundle she was carrying to Su Wenzhou, saying, "General, change into this."
Su Wenzhou opened it and was shocked to find a pink women's outfit. His face turned green. "You want me to wear this?"
He, a dignified general of the Great Chu, wants to wear women's clothing?!
"Oh dear, General, hurry! This is the only way to save you. You're a grown man, stop being so hesitant."
The maid was extremely anxious, speaking in a low and hurried voice, her forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.
She was indeed anxious. If the guards woke up, General Su might be fine, but she would lose her life and might even implicate her mistress.
After being rebuked by a young maid, Su Wenzhou felt his face burning.
"General, if you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know? Hurry up, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles." The maid urged again. She really wanted to knock Su Wenzhou unconscious and take him away, but unfortunately, she couldn't beat him.
With a flushed face, Su Wenzhou took the clothes from the maid's hands and began to change.
Before long, the seven-foot-tall man transformed into a slightly taller woman.
The maid took out rouge and lipstick from her bosom, ignoring Su Wenzhou's dark expression, and applied them to his face before nodding in satisfaction. "Let's go!"
Su Wenzhou awkwardly followed the maid and climbed down the ladder from the back window.
He then lowered his head and followed her quickly to the Yuanmeng Tower.
Su Wenzhou, dressed in women's clothing, didn't stand out in the brothel. He was even harassed by a drunk man, but luckily a maidservant intervened and brought him out.
Soon the maid led her to a room.
Pushing open the door, one finds the room filled with the fragrance of incense, and a young woman dressed in white playing the zither.
The girl looked up and saw Su Wenzhou, but her expression showed no surprise. She simply said to her maid, "Shilan, don't let anyone in."
"Yes, Miss."
The young woman rose and bowed gracefully to Su Wenzhou. "This humble woman, Liu Mengru, greets General Su. This situation was truly unavoidable, and I hope the General will forgive me."
Su Wenzhou then understood why he had been made to dress up as a woman.
If he had come to a brothel disguised as a man, he might have been recognized by someone.
If you change into women's clothing, you can swagger in without anyone suspecting you.
No one could have imagined that the dignified General Su would disguise himself as a woman and hide in a brothel.
Su Wenzhou then put aside his awkwardness and bowed to Liu Mengru, saying, "I thank Miss Liu for saving me."
"General Su, there's no need to thank me. I just wanted to use you to achieve my own goals. I'll have to trouble you to dress as a woman for the next few days. Please have a seat, General Su."
Su Wenzhou sat down and got straight to the point, "Miss Liu, how did you learn about the iron mine?"
