C129 (1/2)

The old procuress stopped, and wanted to say something, but the words that came out of her mouth came to her lips. She looked at the few mysterious people, and thought that it would be better not to offend them.

”Guests, please enjoy yourselves. I will go downstairs to entertain the guests.” With that said, the old procuress was about to leave.

”Wait.” A gloomy voice came out, Chu Yunge laid on the ground and pressed her ear against the door frame.

That was a cloaked man in silver robes! It was very possible that he was a high level figure in the Worryfree Hall, or even a person who was a commander or something like that.

”Bring me your best dishes and wine at once.” The man in black stepped forward, took out a silver ingot from his cloak and gave it to the bawd, ”Remember, I'm talking about the time!”

The old procuress took the silver, not knowing if she should take it or not. She had been hanging around outside for so many years, of course she knew that these people were not to be offended, so she could only put the silver back in, ”What are you doing, Sir? I'm very happy that you've come to my Jade Pavilion. How can I take your silver?”

”Please wait here. I'll call the kitchen to prepare it and send it over as soon as possible.”

The man in black didn't say anything. The group of five entered the private room.

Chu Yunge moved her ears to the wall and started to raise all of her hair, but she still could not hear a single thing. Chu Yunge was like a gecko lying on the wall, and after a while, someone came to send him food and wine one after another. As long as the door was closed, she could not hear a single sound.

Weren't these ancient wooden houses supposed to be the least soundproof? Why couldn't she hear any sound at all! Chu Yunge was anxious while leaning against the wall, she had forgotten that they were in the high grade private room of the Jadeite Jade Pavilion, even if it was to protect the customer's ”privacy”, the wall still had to be thick.

Ji Guzi also stuck onto the wall. Shaking his head, he took out two thick pieces of metal from his bosom. There was a thick iron rod connecting the two of them.

Chu Yunge immediately moved her ear closer to the other piece of metal, which was the same as holding a back patch with Ji Guzi's head. As expected, it became clearer, wasn't this the principle of the modern stethoscope? It turned out that someone had invented the stethoscope at this time!

Next door, the cloaked man knelt on the ground, his hands clasped in front of his chest, ”Greetings, Master Hei Yan!”

The silver-gowned person said in a low voice, ”Get up. This is not the hall. Don't do such things. You can catch on to the clues immediately.”

”Yes sir!” The four stood up and returned to their seats.

Under the cape, Hei Yan was slightly unhappy, ”Why did you choose this place, could it be that calling you here is for fun?”

”No, no, the matter of Hei Yan's offerings is not like that. This subordinate wants to find the most secluded place, but Greencloud City is a big city with Feng Lai after all, so it is possible for people to hear about it no matter where they go.” No, no, the matter of Hei Yan's offerings is not like that, this subordinate wants to find the most hidden place, but

The man in black promised solemnly, ”Besides, my subordinates have already inspected this place. Even the walls here are several tens of centimeters thick.”

Chu Yunge's lips curved into a smile. The wall was several tens of centimeters wide, but you had a good plan. They did have a ladder. Feng Yi didn't know what made Chu Yunge smile in such a brilliant manner.

”Alright, how is the situation over here?” In fact, even Hei Yan did not expect that the Palace Mistress would send him here just to capture a princess of the Da Chu Kingdom. What was even more unexpected was that the people sent by the Palace Mistress would send him here together with the power of several branch halls, which had overturned the whole city, but still not managed to capture any Imperial Protector Princess.

”Reporting to Master Hei Yan, we had chased them before this morning, but...” The man in black wanted to say something but hesitated.

Black Robe took off his veil and took a sip of tea. ”But what? I don't have time to listen to you mumbling here.”

”But they ran away, they disguised themselves as beggars and sneaked into the city. Afterwards they were surrounded by our men, and they used poison to harm many of our brothers. They still can't get up from the ground, and a portion of them even had their throats cut off …”

Hei Yan placed the teacup on the table heavily, ”They?” Since when did he manage these trivial matters? He was in control of the situation over at the Chu Clan, and the hall master had transferred them over. Wasn't he just a Imperial Protector Princess?

”Reverend, there are three of them, and they used a disguise technique. They disguised themselves as three old men over half a century old, sneaked in from outside the city gates, and even killed the captain of the guards. Our people seem to be a little strange, but they've been able to get rid of us.” The man in black took a deep breath. Even after using so much energy, he still could not capture the man. He was also blaming them for running away.
