Chapter 132 Becoming a Courtesan
She laughed twice, "You're really joking."
Then he stopped talking.
outside the house.
Xie Yuze heard the voice in his heart and became anxious.
He looked around, then looked down at the man in black lying on the ground. His eyes lit up, and he immediately stripped off the man's clothes, put them on, covered his face, and then kicked the door open.
"bump!"
The door was broken open from the outside, and everyone inside looked out.
As soon as Xie Yuze entered, he saw a man wearing a ghost mask sitting in a chair.
This person didn't seem simple. Looking at the broken wall next to him, alarm bells went off in his mind. He immediately flashed to Xie Xing's side, grabbed her hand, and tried to take her away.
Xie Xing witnessed the men in black committing murder. Suddenly, one of them grabbed his hand, startling him. He immediately pulled out a shard of a vase that he had hidden in his sleeve and slashed it hard at Xie Yuze's hand.
"hiss."
Xie Yuze withdrew his hand in pain.
Upon seeing this, Xie Xing immediately turned and ran.
Jun Lanjin naturally wouldn't let her out of his sight, so when she tried to run away, he decided to chase after her.
Upon seeing this, Xie Yuze immediately stepped in front of Jun Lanjin.
The two immediately began fighting.
While the two were fighting, Yue'er quietly left the room.
Jun Lanjin was injured, and when he realized that the man in black in front of him was not weak, he did not intend to continue to entangle with him. Instead, he fought and retreated, throwing out a smoke bomb, which made Xie Yuze cough repeatedly.
When the surrounding smoke dissipated, the people inside the house also disappeared.
Xie Yuze: "..."
That's bad, we've lost track of them all.
They still didn't know who the man wearing the ghost mask was, or how he could be related to Xie Xing.
Xie Yuze was extremely frustrated.
He thought Xie Xing was a troublemaker who always caused trouble wherever he went.
As he was about to leave in a huff, a man dressed in black, just like him, appeared beside him.
The man in black looked Xie Yuze up and down, then asked, "Have you searched this house?"
Xie Yuze was stunned. He was already prepared to take action, but he did not expect that the man in black would mistake him for one of his own.
He casually replied, "It's been searched."
The man in black continued to probe, "Have you seen what the master wants?"
Xie Yuze replied, "I didn't see it."
The man immediately snorted coldly: "A good-for-nothing who's more likely to ruin things than to accomplish anything."
"If the adults can't find it, we'll all die!"
Who is the adult?
What are they looking for?
Xie Yuze was puzzled, but now was indeed the best time to infiltrate. If these people were remnants of the previous dynasty, wouldn't it be better for him to infiltrate the enemy and wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
Thinking this, Xie Yuze quickly replied, "Yes, I will definitely find what you want, sir."
He didn't ask what the so-called adult actually wanted.
That would expose him so easily.
Upon hearing his agreement, the man in black finally showed a satisfied expression.
He said, "Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go find it!"
As he spoke, the man in black coldly rebuked him.
Xie Yuze, of course, didn't know what they were looking for. His eyes darted around, and he said with a fawning smile, "Brother, there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries up here. If we offend any of them, not only will we not find what the master wants, but we'll also lose our lives. That would be a huge loss."
The man in black glared at Xie Yuze: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Yuze said, "Otherwise, I'll go with you, and we can look after each other."
His words moved the man in black, who looked at Xie Yuze suspiciously: "You want to come with me?"
"Then it is the adults' way of rewarding merit, and you will have to share half with me."
Xie Yuze chuckled, "Brother, since we found it together, how about we split the reward in half?"
His words sounded naive, and the man in black inwardly scoffed at him.
Where did such a naive fool come from?
If he really finds the master's things, the first thing to do is kill him. How can we let him share the master's reward?
The man in black laughed and said, "If you want to follow me, fine, then I'll let you follow me."
Xie Yuze breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that his identity had not been exposed.
……
the other side.
Xie Xing ran around like crazy.
Soon, her figure disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
Even if Jun Lanjin were incredibly fast, it would be difficult to find Xie Xing amidst the sea of people.
His face beneath the mask turned cold.
However, thinking of the bodyguards who followed Xie Xing, Jun Lanjin's expression softened a bit.
He turned around, his robes fluttering, and with a few leaps, he disappeared from the spot.
Xie Xing ran breathlessly and finally hid inside the ship's cabin.
As soon as she went inside, a shrill female voice came from over there, "Chuntao, what are you doing over there?"
"Hurry up, it's almost our turn. We can't afford to offend the big shot."
As the woman spoke, she walked behind Xie Xing and placed her hand on his shoulder.
As soon as Xie Xing turned around, the woman burst into a scream.
"who are you?"
Where is Chuntao?
"I don't know, I just came in," Xie Xing quickly explained. "There's an assassin outside, let's run!"
The woman frowned: "Who are you?"
Xie Xing said, "I came to see the courtesan."
"Where is Chuntao?" the woman asked again.
Xie Xing shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
The woman seemed surprised by this situation and looked anxious. She exclaimed in a frantic voice, "Where is that brat Chun Tao at a time like this?!"
"This is going to kill us all!"
Xie Xing had come in to escape her fate. Seeing the woman's frantic state, she took two steps back and then planned to leave quietly.
However, as soon as she turned the corner, the woman suddenly grabbed her wrist, looked her up and down, and laughed, "Since Chun Tao is missing, you can take her place."
"You're quite the beauty, girl."
The woman gripped Xie Xing's hand so tightly that Xie Xing immediately began to struggle, saying, "Let go of me."
"It's none of my business that Chun Tao is missing, why are you looking for me?"
The woman sneered, "Who do you think wants to find you?"
"Since you've appeared here, it must be fate. You're destined to be the first courtesan in my brothel."
"If you don't come to replace Chuntao, who will?"
Xie Xing was stunned.
This is utterly robber logic.
Before she could refuse again, the woman spoke up, "Judging by your haste, you must have come in to hide your life, right?"
Xie Xing fell silent.
The woman laughed and said, "Any noise that happens on this deck will not affect the cabins. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Xie Xing asked.
The woman said softly, "There are many secrets hidden inside, so outsiders are not allowed to disturb us, lest the tranquility of the cabin be disturbed and business be affected."
"Today's master is a cruel and bloodthirsty man. If he is not satisfied in the slightest, he will order the execution of everyone."
