Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting
#259 - It’s too late!
After a moment of absent-mindedness, Tang Wen's heart skipped a beat: Is this woman simply using my name to bluff, or has she discovered my identity?
She must be using my name to bluff, right?
It must be, right?
No.
My silence has been too long.
He suddenly raised his head and looked through the thin gauze-like bed curtain. The woman's rosy lips seemed to outline a smile.
Tang Wen was completely sure that he was mostly exposed and no longer hesitated: "Miss Feng, there's no need to say more. I must see the extraordinary insect beast you mentioned."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll show you!" The tone of a big sister coaxing a younger boyfriend.
Tang Wen: ...No, if you show me, you show me, but what's with this attitude? It's like I want to see something indescribable.
And why don't you even call me senior anymore?
Feng Sanniang twisted her willow waist and pressed a mechanism on the wall. A hidden compartment on the wall popped open, revealing a box made of Zitan(紫檀: a type of precious wood).
"Here, come and see." A slit was opened in the curtain, a silent invitation.
The first courtesan's bed immediately made people's minds wander.
Woman, you're playing with fire!
"Miss Feng, don't joke around. I'm not a gentleman. Besides," Tang Wen mocked, "doesn't Miss Feng have a lover?"
It would have been better not to mention this.
As soon as Feng Sanniang heard this, she immediately became resentful: "Young master, please don't mention that blockhead. Regardless of my reserve, I've invited him to visit me here in public, time and time again. But he's so good, he hasn't come even once. He must be looking down on me from the bottom of his heart. Young master, do you dislike Sanniang?"
Seeing that she was about to reveal her intentions, Tang Wen felt a headache. After hesitating for a while, he sighed: "Sanniang, let's make things clear. I remember you only invited me once. Where did these 'time and time again' come from?"
"Does young master admit his identity?" Feng Sanniang leaned out of the curtain, looked in Tang Wen's direction, and raised her snow-white chin.
Tang Wen revealed his figure but didn't remove the power of concealment covering the room.
"As expected, it's you!" A hint of triumph flashed in Feng Sanniang's eyes.
"Yes, I'm not pretending anymore! I am Feng Sanniang's lover, Tang Wen."
"Bah! I was just testing you. You wish," the woman said, her eyes full of charm and flirtatiousness.
With a whoosh, the bed curtain was pulled open.
Feng Sanniang handed out the purple wooden box in her hand: "Alien beast spider."
Spider?
Tang Wen didn't approach. His mental power took over, opened the box. Inside were white silk threads, circling like clouds.
Under the silk threads was a black spider.
It was the size of a child's fist, its whole body like black jade, looking extraordinary.
"This is my concubine's extraordinary insect beast." Feng Sanniang changed her tone, her voice clear and generous.
Tang Wen looked up and was even more surprised. At some point, this woman had wrapped herself in a cheongsam, bright and moving, but without the air of the brothel, and without the seductive meaning of her gestures.
If she was a demoness just now, now she is a lady of a large family, a royal sister who is in charge of the family.
There were cloth shoes by the bed, but she tiptoed on the snow-white tiptoes on the wooden floor, lit the stove, and warmed a pot of wine.
"Pa da", Tang Wen closed the box and asked: "Spider warning?"
"Have a drink first."
Feng Sanniang picked up a silver pot, poured a glass of wine, and handed it over.
As her body approached, the elegant fragrance from her body was even stronger than the aroma of the wine.
Tang Wen drank it all in one gulp: "Can you tell me now?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?"
"Afraid!" Tang Wen glared at her unhappily: "I should have hardened my heart and dragged you out for torture just now."
"Young master seems to have forgotten that I am a sixth rank, and you are a seventh rank. Even if there are strong reinforcements outside, there are only you and me in this room. If I want to do something to young master, I'm afraid young master may not be able to call for help!" Feng Sanniang blinked her eyes, and a mouthful of strong wine went down, scalding her cheeks red.
Tang Wen twitched the corners of his mouth. The last Huang Shiqi Lang who was so arrogant in front of me, the peak of the sixth rank, is now gone: "Sanniang doesn't need to be too defensive. I am presumptuous tonight, but I didn't know you lived here before I came. I'm here only to inquire about a friend's news."
Feng Sanniang played with the wine glass: "This friend of young master is a woman, right?"
"That's right."
"No wonder."
Tang Wen frowned, feeling impatient in his heart.
"I dare not delay the young master's important affairs. I will send someone to call the steward over to see if there are any women hiding in my Chunfeng Pavilion!" Feng Sanniang said in a strange tone.
Ignoring her small temper.
Tang Wen released the concealment restriction, and Feng Sanniang woke up the extraordinary woman who was sleeping outside the door and ordered her to bring people over.
Tang Wen took the initiative to speak: "The person I'm looking for is related to another fourth-rank force. Miss Feng, please forgive me. After this matter is over, I'll set up a wine party to apologize."
Fourth-rank force?
Seeing that Tang Wen's expression didn't seem fake.
Feng Sanniang frowned. If a fourth rank was involved, then this matter really wouldn't allow her to be willful.
She restrained her little thoughts and said seriously: "What is an apology or not? But I have remembered the matter of young master asking me to drink."
After a pause, she added: "Young master's concealment technique is really too convenient for stealing jade and stealing fragrance. If it weren't for the spider silk being hooked on the bottom of your feet, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark until you left."
"What stealing jade and stealing fragrance, Miss Feng, don't slander my innocence out of thin air. But what about the spider silk you mentioned?"
"This alien spider can sense where the spider silk it spits out is located, for example," Feng Sanniang blinked her eyes and moved her eyes down: "There is some on the bottom of young master's feet."
Tang Wen raised his boots and took a closer look. There was indeed a small piece of white silk thread at the bottom.
After picking it up, the silk thread seemed to have the characteristics of being alive. In the air, it automatically curled up a few times, as if trying to escape his palm.
Feng Sanniang added: "When the spider silk is broken, it often sticks to people. Within three days, the alien spider can sense where the spider silk is. Even if it is far away, it can detect the approximate location."
"I see."
Tang Wen asked further: "Are there many of these alien spiders in the chamber of commerce?"
Feng Sanniang shook her head: "Not many. As far as I know, I only have this one in my hand. I'm worried about how to match it with a partner."
Tang Wen was completely relieved now, but he still secretly warned himself in his heart: Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. There are many strange methods in the world.
The two were talking, and footsteps sounded outside the door. The female extraordinary from the front yard brought the steward of Chunfeng Pavilion.
It was a little unusual to be summoned late at night. Feng Sanniang didn't let the two of them come in, but just let the female extraordinary open the door. She asked questions through the screen.
"What's special about the guests in the front yard recently?" Feng Sanniang said lightly.
The steward was called over in the middle of the night, thinking that something big had happened. When he heard Miss Feng ask this, he was immediately confused. He recalled carefully for a while and said: "The Huang family finally settled the silver they owed."
Feng Sanniang glanced at Tang Wen. Speaking of which, this matter has his credit.
Since the White Tiger attacked the city, the Huang family's arrogance has been reduced a lot.
Recently, the Blackwater Gang, the Chen family, the Juyan Martial Arts Hall, and the chamber of commerce where she is located have shown signs of alliance.
Although the Huang family is unwilling, it is unable to stop it.
So recently, they have begun to show their goodwill, trying to win over all parties.
"Not this, it's just in the last few days."
Feng Sanniang didn't say the specific four days ago.
She had already guessed that the person Tang Wen was looking for might be related to the war on the ship gang's territory four days ago.
The people who welcome and send off in the pleasure field are all human beings. She can guess, and it is not difficult for the steward to guess.
There is no need to let subordinates know too much.
The steward also said: "In the past few days, about seven or eight days ago, a group of bandits came from the south, pulling the girls from our building and asking questions. Finally, they asked if they would like to go with them. They can give a big price."
"These people probably want to build a brothel, which is hard for the women over there," Feng Sanniang judged.
This group of people is also not.
Feng Sanniang reminded again: "There may not be many people."
Miss Feng's speaking style today, why is she hesitating?
A doubt flashed in the housekeeper's mind.
He didn't care, frowned and thought: Could it be that what Miss Feng is looking for is a single runner?
"If you want to talk about strangers who run singles, there are also two or three. These days, they have rented a house here, and they eat and live in the yard. However, the number of people is not large, which is normal. Every once in a while, some new faces will come to have fun. As for the rest, I am sorry for my clumsy eyes. I didn't find anything wrong."
Feng Sanniang glanced at Tang Wen, and then asked: "Which yards do those few single runners live in? Is there anything abnormal? Go and ask."
The latest novel is first published at 69 Shuba!
"Yes", the steward agreed, turned around and went out, Tang Wen and Feng Sanniang drank and chatted.
Tang Wen was a little embarrassed when he broke into someone else's boudoir at night and was discovered.
Feng Sanniang didn't make Tang Wen feel uncomfortable at all.
It seemed that Tang Wen's sneaking in today hadn't happened at all, and the two chatted like friends.
Feng Sanniang told some interesting things that happened in Chunfeng Pavilion.
Tang Wen drank the wine she poured with her plain hands, listened to various stories, and looked at her beautiful profile, and a word suddenly flashed in his heart: emotional value.
This woman is really worthy of being the first oiran.
The yard was a hundred meters away, and the two of them hadn't finished half a pot of wine, the steward rushed back:
"I asked."
Tang Wen put down his glass and listened carefully.
Steward: "Recently, there are a total of four new faces who spend money here. One of them lived for five days and checked out yesterday. There are still three left. According to our people's observation, all three are martial artists, in Chunlei Courtyard, Chunshui Courtyard, and Chunsheng Courtyard respectively.
Chunlei Courtyard, lives a merchant, who came to buy wine. It seems that he also came once last year."
Feng Sanniang didn't dare to be careless: "It can't seem to be, it must be accurate."
"Yes, to be precise, two maids have seen him last year, so it should be confirmed without a doubt."
Tang Wen listened silently. Although he didn't know if it would be useful to investigate like this, there was still hope.
The steward's voice continued to come: "The guests in Chunshui Courtyard, everyone has never seen before, came five days ago, stayed up all night for the first three days, rested early yesterday, and ordered venison and tiger treasure soup and grilled Sanbao today, but still haven't slept."
After speaking, the voice paused.
Seeing that Feng Sanniang didn't answer, he continued: "The last person lived for four days. I just happened to see the two girls in his room come out for supper when I went there just now. According to them, this guest was very serious before night, but changed into a different person as soon as the lights were turned off, never stopping."
"Never changed people?"
"No."
"He has a problem?" The steward asked cautiously.
"Go down!"
"Yes, I'm being nosy."
The room inside and outside became quiet.
Feng Sanniang looked at Tang Wen: "The guest in this Chunsheng Courtyard may have a problem. But it doesn't seem to be the person you're looking for."
"What's the problem? Isn't it just a hypocrite?" Tang Wen really didn't understand.
Feng Sanniang leaned over to pour wine, and under her slender and beautiful neck, there was a piece of snow.
"Why pretend when you come to find happiness? Being serious but singing every night, and not changing people. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Then why not go and see?" Tang Wen didn't have any other ideas. The hummingbird tracked the smell, but it disappeared here.
Before there are new clues, even if he can't find any problems in a few days, he will send people to stare at Chunfeng Pavilion.
Feng Sanniang agreed, turned around, bent down and took out a small bottle from the dressing table.
When she bent down, the cheongsam was tight, and the full moon was like a wheel.
Tang Wen couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then disappeared.
Late at night, the north wind was blowing.
Outside Feng Sanniang's cheongsam, she was wearing a pure white coat, like a runaway young woman, wandering aimlessly alone.
Not long after, she came outside the "Chunsheng" courtyard, took out the small bottle, and said to the empty darkness: "The secret medicine in the bottle turns into gas when it meets the wind, which can relax people's spirits and make them fall asleep until dawn."
After speaking, she added: "Please also ask Mr. Tang to take into account the impact. If it makes too much noise, the business here will not be possible. I am a weak woman without support, and I will have to eat and drink in your mansion."
Tang Wen smiled and said: "Sanniang can go to eat and drink at any time!"
"Then I'll take it seriously." Feng Sanniang smiled.
The secret medicine disappeared in the palm of her hand, and no one replied for a long time.
She snorted, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Chunsheng Courtyard, the lights are bright, and there are voices of conversation from time to time.
The lights were not turned off in the house, and no one was asleep.
Tang Wen didn't have the patience to wait.
The secret medicine was sent in through the crack of the door. The people in the house felt sleepy, went to bed, and fell asleep before they could start any action.
Tang Wen pushed the door open and went straight to the skinny man on the bed.
After looking at it carefully for a while just now, this person's face seemed wrong.
His fingers touched his cheek, and his skin was cold, but faintly warm.
Sure enough, there was a problem, it seemed to be separated by a layer of leather.
This man has a disguise?
The steward didn't say that just now.
Tang Wen tore it hard, and the man woke up. His confused eyes instantly returned to clarity. He didn't shout, but just grabbed Tang Wen's hand, preparing to fight back.
The power of concealment spread, and Tang Wen prepared to control him.
The man in front of him unloaded his strength and said in surprise: "Tang Wen? Are you here to find me? How did you know I was here?"
"You Ruo?" Hearing the voice, Tang Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that you have a fifth-rank master beside you, from the White Tiger Tribe?!" Bai Youruo grabbed his hand again.
"That's right, there are two fifth-rank white tigers outside."
Bai Youruo exhaled, visibly relaxed, his eyes full of frustration and regret:
"We should have waited for you! Should have waited for you! But Uncle Shuo thought the opportunity was very good, and the other party seemed completely defenseless. He asked me to hide well, and they went to test it out. Even if the other party had masters, they could retreat completely. As a result, who could have imagined that there were five fifth-ranks there! How dare Bai Ningbing collude with outsiders to harm the same clan!"
Her voice grew increasingly agitated, finally breaking into sobs.
Tang Wen felt a blockage in his heart, understanding the fate of Bai Shuo and the other man.
"We can't let that woman succeed! She's definitely on her way back to the family. If she returns with the exploration team first, then Uncle Shuo will have died in vain, and the supplies I promised to the Flame Camp won't be delivered!"
Before Tang Wen could say anything, she became despondent again: "It's too late. To completely evade capture, I've been hiding here for four days. That woman must have already left!"
