C172 172th Chapter

Jiegeng thought about it carefully. This action was too impulsive.

"Then... Then why did you come out?" Jiegeng's eyes dodged and lowered her head.

"I brought you here. I have to ensure your safety, right?"

When Hsing Zheng said this, Jiegeng felt even guiltier.

"I did not think so much. I just wanted to know if they were discussing something. I..." Jiegeng felt that her explanation at this moment was too pale.

"Sorry."

Hsing Zheng smiled. "That's enough. I was just teasing you."

Jiegeng raised her head in confusion. "But..."

"Since you have already shown your face, even if you apologize to me for a day, it will not help."

"Although you said so, I have to have a sincere attitude. I am not someone who will cause trouble."

"However, there's a problem now." Hsing Zheng frowned.

"What trouble?"

"Since he has taken the initiative, he must be more flamboyant. Otherwise, it will really arouse the suspicion of the people next door. But, how should he be flamboyant? " Hsing Zheng scratched his head and turned to look at Jiegeng.

Jiegeng's eyes lit up and her face immediately brightened up, "Are you really playing big?"

Hsing Zheng nodded. "Do you have any good ideas?"

Jiegeng rubbed her hands together and said proudly, "Isn't it simple?"

Hsing Zheng looked at Jiegeng and saw her unusually excited appearance. He could not help but ask, "What kind of evil intentions do you have? Could it be that you are using me as a cover to play some things that you do not dare to do?"

"Is there?" Jiegeng firmly denied. "This kind of thing that one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, how can you blame it on me?"

Hsing Zheng was secretly happy when he saw Jiegeng's lively and flamboyant appearance.

"Alright, consider me in the wrong." These words were said with a hint of pampering.

"Then tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Jiegeng laid in front of the window and pointed at Hua Kui and said, "Are you stupid? You don't even know how to use such an opportunity?"

"I don't have that much money."

While the two of them were talking, the price of the Courtesan Belle on the stage had already risen to one thousand taels.

"Did you hear that? Can you pay for me?" Hsing Zheng smiled evilly.

Jiegeng turned her head and said, "Your beauty!"

"It's already one thousand taels now. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The mother downstairs was shouting.

"1500 taels!" Jiegeng suppressed her voice and shouted out a number.

"Are you crazy?" Hsing Zheng pulled Jiegeng, "I told you, I didn't bring that much silver."

"Aiya, I know you are petty." Jiegeng shook his hand off. "Don't worry, I won't let you ruin your fortune."

"Two thousand taels!" Qi Han's voice came from next door.

"He really is a rascal!" Jiegeng said disdainfully.

"2,500 taels!" Jiegeng continued to argue with him.

The mother downstairs was so happy that she went crazy. This price... However, since she opened the shop for so many years, the highest bid she had ever made. Even the entire capital would find it hard to find a higher price than this, let alone her. "Anyone else wants to bid?"

The crowd went silent for a long time. The people downstairs all looked at the two rooms upstairs. They were curious about who was inside the room and why he was so generous.

"Three thousand taels!" Just as his mother was about to slap the board, Qi Han's voice was heard again.

Jiegeng clicked her tongue a few times and stopped.

Finally, due to Jiegeng's disturbance, Qi Han bid three thousand taels of silver for tonight's Courtesan Belle.

"Why aren't you competing anymore?" Hsing Zheng asked curiously.

"Hey, this kind of thing, as long as you are satisfied, it will be fine. I don't have that much money. Besides, if I really bid for the Courtesan Belle, wouldn't that be letting you off too easily?"

"How can you guarantee that the person next door won't let go?" Hsing Zheng wanted to know where her courage came from.

"I can't guarantee it!" Jiegeng replied to Hsing Zheng innocently.

"Huh?"

"I also bid randomly. At most, I really won." Jiegeng waved her hand. "I think the money I saved should be enough to pay for it!" Jiegeng felt happy when she talked about this. When she first came to the capital, she was almost locked up in the military prison because she did not have enough money. And now, thanks to the title of princess, her little treasury was also filled.

"I originally wanted to tell Ministry Wai that you, for the sake of a beauty, have wasted your money. You don't know the limits. Who would have thought that Qi Han would compete with me for the Courtesan Belle?"

Initially, he thought that Jiegeng had seen through something, but how could he know that it was just a little girl's playful nature? Now, Hsing Zheng could only accompany Jiegeng and smile bitterly.

Jiegeng's side was happy and happy, but it could be said that it had made Qi Han suffer.

Originally, they were only here to accompany Ministry Wai. But... How did he know that he had bumped into Jiegeng and was being followed here? Just this alone was enough for him to eat a pot of water at Duan Shuang's place. If he let Jiegeng hit the mark again, he would buy Hua Kui. He reckoned that he could not stay in the capital any longer.

Therefore, when Qi Han gave the banknotes to his mother, his heart was bleeding. It was not easy for him to save the money!

"Alright, you've caused enough trouble. It's getting late. Don't stay in this firework place anymore. Hurry up and leave." Hsing Zheng held Jiegeng's wrist and wanted to pull her out of the brothel.

"Wait." Jiegeng pulled Hsing Zheng back instead, "This matter is not even finished, how can we leave?"

"What else do you want? This Ministry Wai has already gone to have fun. Could it be that you still want to go?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!?" Jiegeng's face turned red.

"I am referring to that Courtesan Belle. Didn't you hear how miserable Qianniang was?"

"What? You still want to save that Courtesan Belle?"

"Of course! If you don't want to, you can leave first. I'll go myself!" It was rare for her to be so crazy this time. Jiegeng did not want to waste this opportunity.

Hsing Zheng went forward and knocked Jiegeng's head. "Are you kidding me? This kind of fun thing naturally has to be done by me!"

The two of them hit it off and immediately started to move separately.

When Jiegeng quietly walked out of the room and was about to put the cigarette inside, Qi Han suddenly shouted towards the outside.

"Come in!"

Jiegeng was stunned for a moment and immediately pushed the door open and went in.

Once Jiegeng went in, Qi Han hurriedly went to the door and solidly closed the door.

"My little grandaunt, this prince has only left the capital for a few days and you are already playing so big! Aren't you going to torture me to death?"

Jiegeng immediately put the cigarette behind her back and pretended to be stupid as she said, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Qi Han's eyes were sharp. He immediately noticed what Jiegeng was trying to hide. "You even planned to use the cigarette on me! How did I offend you?"

Since Qi Han had seen through her, Jiegeng did not plan to hide anymore. She slammed the thing in her hand onto the table.

"You did not offend me, but I want the girl inside." Jiegeng raised her head and signaled the person inside with her eyes.

"It's easy to talk to the person inside. Tell me first. Why did you follow me? You even followed me to this kind of venue! Also, what is your relationship with that Prince Hsing? There have been a lot of rumors about you these two days in the capital!"

Jiegeng suddenly stood up and suddenly stood close to Qi Han, staring straight at him.

Qi Han was so scared that he immediately took a few steps back and tried to keep a distance from Jiegeng. "You... What do you want to do!?"

Jiegeng immediately laughed when she saw Qi Han's embarrassing look.

"Your cowardly look is different from what I heard!"

Qi Han gritted his teeth. I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of the king behind you!

"You are like a woman on the street corner, gossiping so much? Tell me, you are a great man, and you do not do proper business. It's fine for you to mingle in this kind of place in the future, but you even brought along the officials of the Imperial Court to mingle around. If the Empress finds out, how will she teach you a lesson? "

Hearing Jiegeng's words, Qi Han speculated that she probably did not know what was going on and that it was probably just a fluke.

"Hahaha!" Qi Han laughed. "You still have the nerve to mention the Empress? If the Empress knew that you actually broke into a brothel, you should consider your fate, right? After all, you have been taught by the Empress recently."

When Qi Han mentioned this matter, Jiegeng then realized that something bad had happened.

Immediately, Jiegeng turned around and went to get the cigarette on the table.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Qi Han faced Jiegeng. He couldn't hit her, couldn't scold her, and couldn't tease her.

"We don't need to go to a high secret meeting with each other. Is it a deal?" Qi Han compromised.

"Deal." Jiegeng raised her eyebrows.

"What do you want the girl inside? You are also a girl, you can't..."

"I will tell you the truth, I want to save her. What if you don't leave? I'll make you take the blame for me. "

"I spent three thousand taels of silver!" Qi Han complained, "You can't possibly let me have nothing, right?"

Jiegeng immediately picked up the cigarette and shook it. "You have seen Ho Lingloong's fate, right? If you make me anxious, I don't know what your outcome will be..."

"Fine, fine, count it as my bad luck!" Qi Han surrendered with both hands. "I will leave her here for you. I will treat it as a good deed." Qi Han smiled and left the room immediately.

Jiegeng threw the incense to the side. If she had done this earlier, she would not have wasted so much effort!

When Qi Han went downstairs, he happened to bump into his mother.

"Young Master Qi, why did you come down just like that? This isn't the time..."

"Yes." Qi Han smiled awkwardly.

Thinking that Jiegeng was still in the room, Qi Han added another sentence to his mother.

"She is also tired tonight. Don't disturb her. Let her have a good rest."

After that, Qi Han gave his mother another piece of treasure.

"Ai!" With the ingot in her hand, his mother grinned from ear to ear. "Of course, of course!"

Jiegeng entered the room and found that the woman was still unconscious. She reached out and shook her.

After the woman woke up in a daze, she saw Jiegeng and immediately became frightened.

"Please let me go, Young Master!"

Jiegeng was stunned for a moment. She looked at the men's clothing on her body and then reacted.

"Don't worry, I am here to save you!"

Jiegeng's sweet voice instantly exposed her identity.

"You are... a woman?" The nervous mood of this woman just now had clearly relaxed a lot.

"Do you have strength now?" Jiegeng nodded her head and continued to ask.

The girl lifted her arm with difficulty, as if she had used up all the strength in her body.

Jiegeng immediately took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and took out a pill from it and stuffed it into the female's mouth.

After a while, the female could already support herself up.

When they came together, the female immediately knelt down, "I beg young miss to save me. I was sold in, I did not do it on my own accord!"

"Get up quickly, I know." Jiegeng immediately helped her up.

"Someone come, it's water!" At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

The thick smoke immediately entered the house from outside.

Hsing Zheng pushed open the door. When he entered, he brought in a lot of thick smoke.

"I told you to set the fire. You don't really need to make it so serious!" Jiegeng saw the situation outside and immediately became worried. "What if someone really burns to death?"

"Alright, don't worry." Hsing Zheng used his hand to sweep away the smell of the smoke. "I only made smoke. It wasn't really on fire!"

"Are we going to take advantage of the chaos to get out?" The woman immediately asked.

"If we go through the door, we'll definitely be discovered." Jiegeng shook her head and then pushed open the window in the room facing the river, "Get out from here."

"This is the third floor. If we go down from here, even if we don't die, we will still be crippled!" The woman panicked. "Besides, there are a lot of thugs down here. Let's go down. We will definitely be caught by them." This woman had been locked up here for quite some time, so she naturally understood.

Hsing Zheng walked to the window and snapped his fingers. A man immediately appeared.

The man picked up the woman and jumped out of the window without saying anything.

"What do you think? Do you need my help?" Hsing Zheng teased.

"No need. I have Qi!"

Hsing Zheng smiled. He carried Jiegeng on his shoulder and immediately jumped down.

When Jiegeng landed, she immediately started to curse, "You hooligan! Did I allow you to touch me?"

"What else can you do now? Why don't I carry you up again?" After saying that, Hsing Zheng walked forward and stretched out his hand towards Jiegeng.

"Forget it, forget it!" Jiegeng's hands kept hitting randomly, "This time I'll let you off first. You're not allowed to act recklessly again!"

The woman was in a daze for a long time before she realized that the surrounding thugs had all fainted and fell to the ground.

"Alright, you are free now." Jiegeng said to the woman.

After that, Jiegeng gave the woman some silver taels. "Find a good business for yourself. Don't let those b * stard relatives of yours lie to you anymore!"

The woman cried bitterly and kowtowed a few times to Jiegeng and Hsing Zheng before leaving.

After the woman left, Jiegeng felt something surging in her heart. Her chest felt warm.

"Hsing Zheng, do you know? What do I want to do the most right now?" Jiegeng looked up at Hsing Zheng and pretended to be suspicious.

"Hmm..."

"Hmph, from the looks of it, you won't be able to guess it."

"Let's drink to our heart's content!"

Jiegeng was dumbfounded. "How can you?"

"You little girl, I have already experienced this kind of feeling for a long time."

Jiegeng raised her eyes, "It seems that you are not too bad. Then let's go and have a good drink?" Jiegeng laughed and even stretched out her fist and raised it in front of Hsing Zheng.

"I am willing to accompany you!" Hsing Zheng also responded to Jiegeng with his fist.

Tonight, the spring breeze was stirred up. The two culprits, on the other hand, had found a perfect spot by the river and started drinking and having fun.
