Xuanwu swallowed three copper coins, feeling extremely uncomfortable physically, but more importantly, extremely uncomfortable mentally.
I simply couldn't bear the thought of three cold, hard things lingering in my stomach.
He hurriedly ran to eat leeks and croton seeds, and as soon as his stomach started to react, he rushed into the outhouse.
He would squat for an hour at a time, his face turning completely red from holding it in.
Several henchmen waited outside, anxiously wringing their hands, asking every now and then, "Sir, are you done? Have you pulled out the coins?"
"I'm having a bowel movement right now, why don't you help me?"
Xuanwu roared, "Or you can come in and see for yourself how many copper coins I pulled out in total?"
The subordinate, hesitant to go in and looking conflicted, pinched his nose and said, "Sir, it's not that we're rushing you, it's just that..."
The conversation ended abruptly there, and there was no further sound.
Xuanwu squatted in the outhouse, sweating profusely, his legs numb. He was already in a bad mood, and his subordinates' half-spoken words only made him feel worse.
"Hey, are you mute? What do you mean by 'really'? Are you trying to trick me by leaving half your words unsaid? Wait till I get out of here and I'll make you pay."
"Lord Xuanwu."
The sounds outside the outhouse suddenly became very unfamiliar.
Xuanwu immediately became alert: "Who are you? You're not one of my men. You were sent by Lin Bufan?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm one of Master An's men."
"An Shigeng's men?"
"Oh right, Uncle An asked me to ask you if you're happy spending his money."
"Happy my ass! It's his pile of copper coins that's got me stuck in the outhouse now."
"It's a misunderstanding. It's because Lord Xuanwu overestimated himself and dared to deal with Lin Bufan with such a small number of people."
"You dare laugh at me? Wait, what did you do to my men outside?"
“Killed them, just a few ants. What we’re about to talk about is very important and private, and we can’t let too many people hear it.”
Meanwhile, at Zuiyue Tower.
Ding Xiu recently extorted some money from his junior brother and made some money at the gambling den, so he came here to have some fun.
"Call over the best girl you have here."
"The best girl?"
The madam sized up Ding Xiu, looking down on him because of his poor and shabby appearance.
"Drunken Moon Pavilion is a big place. Our girls are divided into several classes. You probably can't afford the high-end ones. Here are two options for you: ninety-eight or one hundred and ninety-eight. Which one do you want?"
Ninety-eight taels of silver for one service?
Ding Xiu stroked his chin thoughtfully, then touched his waist pouch. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Give me a ninety-eight one first. I need to see what a ninety-eight looks like before... um... I'll decide."
"Alright, go to your room and wait." The madam went down to call the girl.
Ding Xiu sat in the room waiting for the girl.
A short while later, a graceful and charming young woman entered the room.
The girl's behavior was unrestrained, and every smile and frown was alluring, making people unable to resist and wishing they could pounce on her immediately.
Dante Xiu held back, his lips trembling slightly, and exclaimed excitedly, "Ninety-eight is like this? Then one hundred and ninety-eight must take off, right, madam?"
Shout loudly to the madam and change the service.
"I want to change players, give me one that costs 198."
"One hundred and ninety-eight? Okay."
The madam left the room to call another girl.
Ding Xiu put his hand on the shoulder of the 98-inch tall girl and said apologetically, "Little sister, I'm really sorry. It's not that you're not good enough, it's just that I... I have high standards for myself."
The girl gave Ding Xiu a resentful look, then turned and left in a huff.
Ding Xiu was overjoyed and hurriedly took off his clothes, waiting naked for the girl of size 198 to arrive.
A moment later, the door creaked open...
Ding Xiu was overjoyed: So fast?
He hurried over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a large, fat woman stood in front of him, her towering figure like a mountain, blotting out the sky.
"this……"
Ding Xiu tilted his head back, his lips twitching a few times.
"How come 198... looks like this? Did you divide it by weight?"
The fat woman looked down at Ding Xiu, then looked up again, slapped Ding Xiu, and said angrily, "What are you thinking? I'm not from Zuiyuelou, I'm from Master An."
"Who is Master An?"
"An Shigeng".
"What does Master An want with me?"
Ding Xiu was completely bewildered and instinctively asked and answered questions.
The fat woman said, "Master An wants you to cooperate with the Embroidered Uniform Guard Xuanwu to kill a Grandmaster."
"What? Kill a Grandmaster? I'm only a Grandmaster!"
Ding Xiu was stunned for a long time. Remembering that An Shigeng was a well-known money god in the capital and had no shortage of money, he slowly stretched out his hand: "This task is extremely challenging for me. You... will have to pay more."
"Why add any money? I'm already here, so I'll just give you a discount and make up the difference."
Having said that, he opened his arms and embraced Ding Xiu...
Meanwhile, Lin Bufan and Xiaolongnu finally arrived at the Divine Marquis's Mansion.
I glanced up at the signboard to make sure I was in the right place, then swaggered inside.
Zhui Ming, lounging on the courtyard wall with a blade of grass in his mouth, was admiring the scenery when he caught sight of Lin Bufan and was startled.
The image of Lin Bufan's cruelty and bloodthirstiness in Fuzhou immediately flashed into my mind and lingered there.
Terrifying, horrible!
"The Great Demon Lin, the Great Demon Lin, the Great Demon Lin is here!"
Zhui Ming shouted and leaped down from the high wall, disappearing in a flash into the Divine Marquis's mansion.
Lin Bufan was speechless. He actually shouted it three times. Is it true that important things need to be said three times? You've really learned the essence of it.
Zhuiming summoned everyone in the Divine Marquis's Mansion.
Iron Hand was the first to fly out, using his iron fist to attack Lin Bufan.
