"Faced with such enormous temptation, I ultimately decided to accept this mission."
When Yan Wang heard this, his anger flared up instantly.
"Does An Wang Fu lack food for you or clothes for you? No matter how much money, how could it be more important than you!" Yan Wang roared in uncontrollable rage, "Have you ever thought about it? That Li Wang is not someone to be trifled with. What if you can't beat him?"
Looking at Yan Wang's furious appearance, I felt a bit uneasy inside. But I still forced myself to stay calm, walked up, and in a sycophantic way kneaded Yan Wang's shoulders, saying with a grin: "Si Ge, don't be angry! Even if I can't beat him, I can run! My lightness skill is second under heaven, no one dares claim first!"
"Everything has the possibility of a 'what if'. What if the other side has many people? What if among the other side's people there is someone with even more superb lightness skill than yours?" Upon hearing Si Ge's lecture, Qianqian nodded repeatedly, expressing agreement with Si Ge's words, and promised she would absolutely never act so impulsively again.
Seeing Qianqian agree so obediently, Yan Wang, although still harboring some anger in his heart, was too embarrassed to continue flaring up.
So he softened his tone slightly, then said: "Alright, then you continue speaking."
Seeing Yan Wang's attitude had softened, Qianqian let out a breath of relief, and continued narrating her experiences: "After leaving a letter in the courtyard, I set out together with Shiyi and Shi Er."
The three of us advanced toward Nanliang Guo's direction; because the journey was distant, we rode horses for several days, truly exhausted.
With great difficulty we reached Yifeng City, yet discovered that because we lacked Nan Liang household registration, we simply could not enter the city. No choice, we could only wait in Yu Zhou for two or three days.
Coincidentally, right while we were waiting, Si Ge you happened to lead men and capture Yifeng City. I and Shiyi and Shi Er took the opportunity to slip into the city, then rode fast horses with added whip toward Yi Tai Cheng.
At that time Yi Tai Cheng had not yet started checking household registration, so we slipped in very smoothly. Like this, we traveled a roundabout route, and finally arrived at Yi Xin Cheng.
Hearing that the Wang's Fu Di was in Yi Xin Cheng, I stayed in an inn for a day, and by the way inquired about relevant news.
According to rumor, because Li Wang posed too great a threat to the Emperor, the Emperor reluctantly bestowed a Fengdi upon Li Wang, and this Fengdi was Yi Xin Cheng. In Yi Xin Cheng, Li Wang could be said to cover the sky with one hand; everything was decided by him.
Fortunately, when I checked into the inn I used a false identity; the inn Shopkeeper did not check household registration information, merely asked my name, which happened to let me successfully hide myself.
To better integrate into the local environment, I specially changed into a set of Nanliang Guo's unique clothing, then went out to investigate some news. I first came to a Jiu Lou, ordered some wine and dishes, eating while listening to the idle chatter of people around.
By chance, I heard someone mention Li Wang, saying he was quite fond of female beauty, but not all women could enter his eyes; only those with extremely outstanding looks could arouse his interest.
Hearing this, a plan formed in my heart; I thought if I could find an especially beautiful woman, perhaps I could use her to approach Li Wang, thereby obtaining more useful information.
After eating and drinking my fill, I strolled on the Dajie, eyes wandering everywhere, hoping to discover some women meeting the criteria. However, I walked for a long time, yet could not succeed as wished.
Just when I was somewhat disheartened, suddenly my eyes brightened; not far away there was a rouge shop. I thought why not go see how Nan Liang's rouge quality is, and by the way pick a box to take back to Mother, to make her happy too; after all, this time I sneaked out behind her back.
Walking into the rouge shop, I began carefully selecting. Among the many rouges, one box caught my attention; its packaging was exquisite, color vivid, looking like it should be a box of superior rouge.
I had just prepared to take out money to buy this item, hand already in my pocket, when suddenly an extremely bewitching woman drifted to the Shopkeeper like a ghost.
She had a graceful figure, face like peach blossom, her flowing eyes seeming to hold a thousand words. She said coquettishly to the Shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'll buy this thing for triple the price!"
The Shopkeeper showed a difficult expression, clearly not daring to offend this woman, but also feeling somewhat apologetic toward me, so he apologized to me repeatedly.
In my heart I thought, in this Nan Liang place, as the saying goes a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake; I am an outsider, really no need to provoke this woman, and also don't know what her background ultimately is.
So I magnanimously smiled, and said to the Shopkeeper: "No matter, no matter. Since this young lady likes it so much, let her have it."
Seeing this, the Shopkeeper became even more attentive to me, hurriedly saying: "Truly sorry, Guest. You look at other things; if there's something you fancy, I'll give you thirty percent off!" I nodded, and continued picking and choosing in the shop.
Just as I was still selecting, suddenly I heard that woman holding the rouge she just bought, using a voice so coquettish it makes one's bones go soft, say to a man: "Ah Li, look how well this rouge's color suits me!"
That voice simply made goosebumps rise all over one's body; I only felt a wave of discomfort.
Truly unable to endure this vibe, I decided to hurry and buy something passable and leave.
So I turned and asked the Shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you have any other good goods here?" The Shopkeeper was just about to answer, when suddenly a man strode forward, and said to the Shopkeeper: "This young lady's all expenses in your honored shop today, I will pay for!"
Then, with an apologetic expression he said to me: "Truly sorry, my household's little concubine was spoiled by me, somewhat willful and rude; hope you, Adult, have great magnanimity, and don't bother with her."
I did not overly respond to his words; after all, I and he were strangers, and I had no intention of entangling with him. So I casually perfunctorily said: "Oh, it's fine." And no longer paid him attention.
The Shopkeeper seeing this, hurriedly took down a box of lip rouge from the shelf, and enthusiastically recommended it to me.
I looked at that box of lip rouge; color vivid, texture fine, indeed a good quality; I readily paid the money, then turned and left.
However, unexpectedly, that night the inn I stayed at was actually visited by someone. Later I learned that man was actually Li Wang! Even more surprising, he actually took an interest in me because of the daytime matter, and wanted to take me into his Fu.
His guards came on his orders to fetch me; I naturally refused outright. I righteously told them, I am a proper family's young lady; how could I go with them so unclearly? If this spreads, how can I be a person in the future?
