Vision City.

"These forces may seem incompatible, but as long as they have a common goal, they can unite."

"Because the strength of their individual families is no longer enough."

Mingxin Waterway.

"The Black Lotus Sect must be excluded from this."

Zi Yan did not explain the reason, because the relationship between the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus Sect and Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang was a secret known only to very few people.

"So, what is their common goal?"

Zi Yan tapped the table lightly with her fingers and spoke slowly.

Ming Xinshui smiled slightly. His skin was very fair and when he smiled, there were two dimples on his cheeks, which looked very nice.

His voice is very clear and his timbre is very pure.

"To create chaos, this is their goal, and they can use all means to achieve this."

"Where are you going to start?"

Zi Yan raised her eyes and said.

"We'll go to the Waterside Pavilion in the evening. It's one of the liveliest places in Yuanjing City's night market. If they want to cause trouble, they'll most likely start from there." Ming Xinshui stated his plans.

"Okay, let's follow your plan."

This was Zi Yan's first time in Yuanjing City. It was such a big city with a very complicated population, and it was impossible for her to act on her own.

……

Night falls.

The East Market, one of the two night markets in Yuanjing City, has opened.

Seen from a distance, the place was brightly lit as if it were daytime, and the endless stream of people seemed to be unaffected by the war at all.

Human beings are a race that is good at self-forgetting, but in a sense, this is also a protection for humans themselves.

If a person is always immersed in fear, terror and worry and cannot extricate himself, can he still survive?

"Mr. Jiang, please come this way." Ming Xinshui led the way with a folding fan in his hand. They had already walked into the first street.

There are many snack stalls on both sides of the street, many of which sell local specialties, such as flavored mushroom soup.

Bozhou has a very rich variety of mushrooms, and the locals have loved mushrooms since childhood. Of course, it is inevitable that they will accidentally eat some poisonous mushrooms. However, the locals have a set of traditional remedies to treat them, and actual poisoning to death rarely occurs.

Zi Yan's original surname was Jiang, but she now goes by the alias Jiang Yuanhao. She is the son of a wealthy businessman from another place, and her personality is rich, handsome and generous.

Ming Xinshui didn't need to disguise himself. He already had his own identity in Yuanjing City. He didn't even change his name. He was called Ming Xinshui.

Mingjia City is a famous family of poets, scholars and etiquette. Many celebrities have come from it. However, Ming Xinshui secretly joined the Qingyi Sect, which is a secret known to very few people.

"Is that the brothel over there?"

After following Ming Xinshui for a while, Zi Yan gradually began to smell the fragrance of cosmetics.

The scent of cosmetics became stronger and stronger, and many red lanterns gradually appeared in front of the street. A woman's bell-like laughter could be heard from afar.

"Yes, that's the brothel."

Ming Xinshui nodded and took the lead to step inside.

"Two gentlemen, come and play."

As soon as the two of them stepped inside, a heavily made-up madam came over to pull them away.

Many of those madams are middle-aged women. They are quite pretty, but obviously older.

And at the nearby stair railings, there were more women wearing light gauze clothes, revealing large areas of fair skin. They had giggling smiles on their faces and waved handkerchiefs at the two men.

Zi Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

If he were an ordinary man, how could he escape after encountering such a situation?

It would be strange if you didn't spend all the money you have.

It is said that brothels are a place where money is spent. This place really captures the most primitive instincts of men. "Where is the waterside pavilion?"

Zi Yan asked in a low voice. She tried her best to refuse all the procuresses who came to her along the way and finally got rid of them.

She was annoyed, but she couldn't use force against them.

It was also because her disguise skills were so good that from the outside, she looked like an elegant young man.

"It's just ahead. We're almost there."

After walking along this street, the front suddenly became quiet.

"Just now over there was a rather vulgar brothel, but this place is different, it's an elegant place." Ming Xinshui said with a smile.

"Isn't an elegant place a brothel?" Zi Yan asked doubtfully.

"It's still a brothel, but this one is for prostitutes, not prostitutes." Ming Xinshui explained.

"I understand...it's the same in the capital."

Zi Yan nodded. Not only in the capital of Da Qi, but also in slightly larger cities in Da Qi, brothels are generally divided into two different areas.

"In my opinion, the biggest difference between them is that it's more expensive here."

Mingxin Waterway.

"Things are valuable because they are rare. Their hard work in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is not in vain."

Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.

The styles of the pavilions in front are quite different. Many of them are independent three- or four-story attics. Various stringed instruments and songs are melodious, the styles of the lanterns are more elegant, and the arrangements of flowers, plants and trees are all carefully crafted.

They came to a pavilion.

On the plaque hanging in front of the pavilion, there are four words: Waterside Pavilions and Pavilions.

The font is that beautiful thin gold style, and you can tell at first glance that it was written by a celebrity.

"The food and entertainment in Yuanjing City are better than those in Yilong City. Many wealthy people from Yilong City come here to spend money at this waterside pavilion."

Ming Xinshui unfolded his fan and said.

As they approached the attic, a woman in a green gauze dress came to greet them.

This woman in green gauze is essentially also a brothel owner, but she does not dress as heavily as the women on the first street, but in a simple and appropriate manner.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

The woman in green gauze covered her chin with a round fan and smiled slightly.

This woman in green gauze obviously knows Ming Xinshui.

Zi Yan followed Ming Xinshui into the interior...After walking in, they saw a hall.

The hall is large, but there are not many seats, and the existing seats are of high quality.

There were a few women in veils playing musical instruments in the front, and the people in the hall spoke in a calm and polite tone, without anyone shouting.

"Mr. Ming, is this still the same box as last time?"

The woman in green gauze holds a round fan in her hand and walks gracefully, exuding a sense of charm.

"It's the same one from last time."

Then they came to the box on the second floor.

The box was very quiet and incense was lit.

From the window of the box, you can clearly see the performance location in the hall. The angles here are carefully designed so that the VIPs in the box can enjoy higher-standard services.

"Today is the day when Miss Hua Xiangyue is performing, which is perfect." Ming Xinshui said with a smile while eating fruit.

"Hua Xiang Yue?" It was the first time Zi Yan heard this name.

She even suspected that Ming Xinshui was abusing his power for personal gain, saying that he came to see those forces causing trouble, but maybe his real purpose was to see the girl Hua Xiangyue.

"Hua Xiangyue is a famous lady in the pavilions and pavilions. She is good at music and dancing. You will understand when she appears." Ming Xinshui said. (End of this chapter)
