When the sky gradually darkened, and the last bit of sunlight fell, a servant came up to invite him. Only then did An Su move her stiff body down from the tower, and returned to her room, where there were already dishes on the table. After the pearl was eaten, he picked up the ones that An Su liked, and brought them into An Su's bowl.
Just then, a servant came over to wash An Su's hands before starting to eat.
In truth, An Su was not picky with food, and in the past, people did not even have to try food. It was just that there were too many people who wanted her to die, and her life could not be lost before she finished avenging herself. Naturally, there wasn't much to be paid attention to when marching and battling in the past. It was always on one's own, and there weren't many people around.
After many years of natural disasters and wars, not only the people were suffering, but also the soldiers at the border were suffering. At first, it was fine, but later on, sometimes the food was insufficient and he could only go hungry. Only when he had won a great battle would he be able to enjoy the celebratory feast.
He still remembered one time before the battle, when Xiao Ye ran out to poke at some game and said that it was to give her a tooth pendant.
She caught two bamboo rats and roasted them before eating them, and they ended up in her stomach.
Xiao Ye had been hit by her Ten Military Staff.
The image of a man holding a Bamboo Mouse in his mind was filled with smoke, fire, and black ash. He even thought of the smile on his face when he took off his shirt and looked at her with his back.
But now, what she wanted to eat the most was his flesh and blood.
She wished she could chew every bone of his body!
”Miss, please use some soup. This servant has stewed the ginseng chicken soup for four hours today, it's so tender. Your body has just recovered, it's best to use it to nourish yourself.”
The clear voice was like the cry of an oriole, pulling An Su back from her thoughts. Looking at the fine porcelain bowl in front of her, she lifted her head. ”What is your name?”
The maidservant smiled at her and respectfully replied, ”Miss, I am called Liusu, the name given to me by the matriarch of the Matriarch. I am Liusu.”
An Su muttered to herself, and did not speak any further. After the meal, he took her things away and wrote a note on a woman's ring and rested on the lamp.
The night was getting darker and darker.
The Hou Mansion was also silent. It was unknown when the person on the bed who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them. The door was pushed open and Pearl carefully walked in, lantern in hand and coat in hand.
”Miss, there's news.” Pearl came to the front of the bed and whispered in An Su's ears.
Not long after, Pearl tucked the person on the bed into a corner of her bed and then rubbed her hands together as she exhaled before leaving. The entire room once again fell into a dark silence, Dark guard who was guarding outside the courtyard glanced at Pearl who was walking down the hall and retracted her gaze.
Naturally, he did not see that, after that moment, another figure walked out from Pearl's room, avoiding the Dark guard's surveillance. He walked out of the courtyard from the side door, and quickly disappeared from the Hou Residence.
The wind blew, the branches swayed, and everything seemed as if it had never happened.
In the darkness of the night, the only sound that could be heard in Capital was the sound of the gendarme beating on the table, as well as the sound of the guards patrolling back and forth.
In a secluded alley, there was a carriage parked. On the carriage sat an old coachman. The people in the carriage lifted the carriage's curtain and gazed into the night sky, their expressions faintly anxious.
When he saw a figure rushing over in the darkness, that person jumped down from the carriage in a hurry, ”I thought you wouldn't be coming. Get on the carriage. North gate is right in front of us, we need to get out of the city first.”
The man quickly got on the carriage and was about to order people to drive the carriage when he heard the sound of horses' hooves. Another carriage came and stopped in the middle of the road, blocking the path of the blue carriage.
”Two gongzis, you're still leaving the city after the curfew hour, don't tell me you're trying to escape? I wonder if the two of you have reported this to the elders of the family? ” A cold and indifferent voice resounded in the night sky.
It was very cold.
It also caused the hearts of the two people in the carriage to drop to the bottom.
An Su's faint voice once again sounded. ”Are you sure you want to discuss this issue with me here?”
An Su lightly knocked on the carriage, and the driver immediately followed.
After the two carriages left, the surroundings quickly became lively. Through the curtains of the carriage, the four story tall buildings could be vaguely seen. The lanterns hanging from the eaves illuminated the entire street as if it was day.
On the plaque hung the words Flowing Sunflower Pavilion.
This was the place that Wang Xie and the others often came to, and was in a busy city. At this time, it was the only place that was still bustling with noise and excitement, a woman dressed in a revealing dress, and a guest dressed in bright clothes.
This was also the biggest brothel in the entire Capital.
Wang Xuanlang and Xie Wentao's carriage stopped, and the two alighted from the carriage. Their gazes were fixated on the similarly unremarkable carriage behind them, and the grey curtain was lifted with a jade-like hand.
A woman dressed in a long snow-white dress stepped down, her long black hair recklessly fluttering down to her waist, but a snow-white veil appeared on her face, covering most of her face. One could only see a bright and clean forehead, and a pair of serene Phoenix eyes s.
She slowly walked over. Her figure was slender like bamboo, and in the darkness of the night, she seemed ethereal and ethereal. It was as if the fairy from the moon palace, who seemed to have shed all her emotions and desires, untainted even the slightest bit of the mundane world, had fallen into these three thousand mortal worlds.
The brothel owner found it hard to hide her astonishment when she greeted the two. It wasn't strange for a man to visit a brothel these days, but it was really strange for a beautiful woman to visit a brothel.
Until the door creaked shut.
Wang Xuanlang and Xie Wentao turned around, ”You also came here many times, why are you wearing a veil today? ”I thought you wouldn't care about that given your character.” Ashe said that, she locked his gaze with Xie Wentao on that part of the woman's face.
It was as if he was suspecting the identity of the woman.
He could not help but suspect that her voice sounded similar, but the feeling the girl in front of him gave him was too different from that arrogant scum Ji Huashang. It could be said that she was two different people. Ji Huashang was a vulgar and unsophisticated person, but the girl in front of him was indifferent like snow, her temperament was otherworldly.
