C169 Entering a Brothel
"Come and take a look..."
"Everything! Don't miss it when you pass by!"
There were endless shouts in the city. The people who came in and out of the city wore similar clothes as those from the Dayong. However, the colors were mainly light blue.
"This is a town at the border of the Cloud Dream City. What's... what's the name of this town?" The old man scratched his head with a difficult look on his face.
"Bian City." Yu Longchen followed the old man's words, "The last city out of Yunmeng Country."
"Let's go in." Mu Ruqing waved her sleeves and looked at the people who passed by. Her eyes were full of curiosity, "Let me think about what kind of exotic land it is."
"Yes." The three of them walked in side by side. They entered the main road through the small path and followed the flow of people into Bian City.
From time to time, there would be people looking at them. They only glanced at them once before continuing to do their own things. They didn't mind. People from all over Bian City came every day. They weren't surprised by it.
However, if they saw their true appearances, they were afraid that they would get involved in other people's business. Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing wore bamboo hats and veils to cover their faces. The thickness of the veils was just right, allowing them to see what was outside clearly. It also covered their faces.
The bamboo hats were exchanged from the farmers with valuable items on them.
During the war between the two countries, corpses were everywhere in Bian City, and not a single person could be seen. Ever since the two countries were repaired, the Bian City had grown from a dilapidated wall to a prosperous city that was more than two times bigger than before.
The Bian City was the trading place between the Dayong and Yun Meng. There were many rich people here. The buildings were exquisite, and each house had its own unique characteristics.
"Let's go. We've arrived at the city gate. " The old man looked at the magnificent city gate at the end of the street and clasped his hands behind his back.
"I'm old now, and my brain is no longer functioning properly." Yu Longchen grabbed the old man's shoulder, not letting him walk out.
"Grandpa, once you leave this place, you will have to come out with a diploma. If we don't have it, we will only be captured by the guards. There are many people who are looking for us now. Does grandfather want to deliver himself to the door?" Mu Ruqing's soft and mellow voice made the old man feel comfortable being scolded.
The old man waved his hand and said with an indifferent expression," Indeed. Then what do you think we should do?"
"Do you know where the biggest brothel in Bian City is?" Yu Longchen was walking in front, ignoring the surprised look on the old man's face. Was he going to take his wife to a brothel?
Mu Ruqing did not ask. She obediently let Yu Longchen pull her. She looked like a little bird that was dependent on others.
The old man did not say much and looked at Mu Ruqing. With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and said, "I don't know. "This old man has been separated from you for many years. Why do you still ask such a question?" Hmph."
"I'm afraid your treasured saber is not old yet." Yu Longchen curled the corner of his mouth and pulled Mu Ruqing's hand to warm her up.
After passing through the streets of Bian City, they arrived at the busiest street in Bian City. The streets were twice as wide as before. Countless shops lined up in front of the doors, and there were small stalls selling all kinds of jewelry and food. The shouts occupied their ears.
Seeing this, Mu Ruqing suddenly remembered how she and Yu Longchen had escaped from Flag Town. She unconsciously clenched her fists.
Before they even arrived, they could smell the heavy smell of cosmetic powder filling the air. It was soul-stirring.
Two beautiful women stood at the door. They were dressed in revealing clothes. They wore a dress embroidered with makeup on their chests and were wearing a chiffon jacket. Their fair skin pierced into Mu Ruqing's eyes.
Mu Ruqing no longer had the mood to look at the name of the brothel. She stared at the back of Yu Longchen's head. No matter how she pretended, she still cared about why Yu Longchen came to such a place.
Yu Longchen felt the burning eyes on his back. He turned around and smiled. He pulled Mu Ruqing and walked in.
This brothel was not like what they had imagined. There were countless girls at the door, but it was cold and quiet. Only the two women were there.
Yu Longchen's eyes flashed with surprise, and Mu Ruqing's face fell. Her smile was ugly.
"Young master, we don't serve young lady here." Actually, one of them stood out and spoke with his head lowered, feeling embarrassed.
Mu Ruqing and the old man were not the only ones who were unhappy. The old man was slightly angry. Why? Can't you see a living person like me?
"I have a word here. I wonder if your Miss Ruorong likes it?" Yu Longchen looked at the person who stood out. Although his expression was gentle, he did not feel any warmth.
The two of them looked at each other and their attitude towards Yu Longchen became even more respectful. "May I know the name of your words?"
"Mu Rong Ling."
"[Allow me to inform the lady. Please wait for a moment, sir.]"
Yu Longchen nodded and entered a woman. The other woman glanced at Mu Ruqing and the old man. Her meaning was unknown, but it made people uncomfortable.
Mu Ruqing moved her hands and thought for a while. She did not say anything and just looked at the woman. The woman did not dare to raise her head.
She clearly did not see Mu Ruqing's eyes, but the woman was afraid of panicking.
After a moment, the woman who went in just now came back. Her waist bent even lower and her attitude was humble, "Young Master, please."
Mu Ruqing's heart started to feel uncomfortable. Could it be that her eyes grew in the sky and saw the two of us? Yu Longchen held Mu Ruqing's hand and pulled Mu Ruqing into the room with the woman. When the old man passed by the two of them, he waved his sleeve. He snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
Because of the veil covering the brothel, the decoration was not visible. It was just the sound of women gasping and men's lewd laughter filling the huge space.
Following the woman, they went around the small path by the side. The people inside were all greedy for pleasure and did not care about the few people who just came in. With a casual glance, he hugged the person in his arms and moved his mouth closer...
Following the woman turning a corner, the light dimmed and one could vaguely see the brass lamp seats on the road.
There was no word along the way.
After the time it took to make another cup of tea, they exited a secret incense door and saw the sunlight.
"This way please." The woman made a gesture and Yu Longchen nodded slightly. He let go of Mu Ruqing's hand without leaving a trace.
Mu Ruqing looked at Yu Longchen's back and glared at him. Rules followed him and his temperament could not be ignored.
As soon as one of her legs crossed the threshold, she could smell the faint orchid fragrance. It refreshed her heart and made her nervous and relaxed.
The woman quietly retreated and closed the door softly.
Yu Longchen took off his bamboo hat and also took off Mu Ruqing's. The old man put his hands in front of his chest and looked at the elegant and unique house with admiration in his eyes.
At that time, there was a girl wearing a light blue muslin embroidered jacket with a simple hairstyle. Her hair was tied into a golden hairpin and there was a red flower bud between her eyebrows. His pair of deep eyes made him look more and more attractive.
When the woman saw Yu Longchen, her eyes could no longer tolerate anything else. Her entire body was filled with a bewitching fox aura. However, this bewitching fox aura made the other women unable to bear any hostility when they looked at her.
"Ruorong greets Mistress." Ruorong's pair of bewitching long and narrow eyes stared at the floor but could not conceal the joy in her heart.
Yu Longchen nodded his head and pulled Mu Ruqing to sit on Ruorong's seat. His cold expression would only show tenderness when he saw Mu Ruqing. When his gaze landed on Ruorong, it became cold and aloof, "Go and find a doctor."
Without saying anything else, Ruorong smiled and said to Mu Ruqing, "This is the madam, right? Ruorong was rude." After that, she turned her head and made an inviting gesture to the old man, "Old man, please sit down first."
The old man felt a little more at ease. Seeing Ruorong's appearance, he could not get angry, so he took the opportunity to sit down.
"Ruorong will be back soon." Ruorong looked at Yu Longchen and bowed before leaving.
