Chapter 158: An Awkward Encounter

It was just that she didn't know how much of his sanity he had retained beneath this seemingly normal exterior, or if it was simply an illusion of normalcy."Here comes the Qin artisan, quick, look at...This reasonable guess was just like what ordinary people would think. Qin Luoyan felt that this kind of answer should be able to lower Ming Qi's guard. 。"Oh... it does sound like that." 。But... Luo girl, aren't you also interested in King Wu Xuan Why do you usually never say a word, but once it comes to King Wu Xuan, you speak so much. 。 。Qin Luoyan was startled and quickly turned back, saying with disinterest, "Young Master Ming is truly difficult to get along with. If you speak too much, you have an opinion; if you speak too little, you also have an opinion. Then I won't say anything." 。Though it didn't show on her face, Qin Luoyan was shocked inside. These people who had been in high positions for a long time were indeed cunning and shrewd. Why were they all so intelligent After all, how could ordinary people cultivate such power She even hoped more and more to distance herself from these people and live a quiet life. 。The carriage fell silent again, and the horse-drawn vehicle was not in the least delayed by this matter. 。But on the road ahead, several groups of scouts followed up, but they were all sent away by Ming Qi's people. 。Looking at these people coming one after another, Qin Luoyan's heart was actually a little empty, for fear that those people would find any trace of her. 。But luckily, Mingqi was more capable than she expected, and managed to solve them all one by one. 。She was once again thankful for her rational decision to take the ride-share. 。That evening, as dusk settled, the carriage finally reached the southernmost border city of Nan Yue, closest to Bei Ming. Just beyond this city lay the territory of Bei Ming. 。As a border city, it's inevitable that there are all sorts of people here. After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Those who commit crimes inevitably hide in these remote areas. So although it's close to the border, the place is actually quite popular, with plenty of people on the streets even in the evening. 。The travelers found the largest inn in town and requested a private courtyard for their rest tonight. 。Days of sleeping rough and eating whatever they could find had left the whole group exhausted. However, despite this, not a single one of Ming Qi's men showed any sign of weariness, each diligently doing their assigned tasks. 。"Find the waiter and have him bring me a few buckets of hot water. I want to take a good wash." 。"What Mingqi can't stand the most is the faint smell of body odor that comes from not taking a shower for so many days." 。"It was the master " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。That man received the order and turned to leave. 。Ming Qi called him back again, pointing at Qin Luo Yan and saying, "Have someone bring her a bucket of hot water as well." 。“

The man glanced back at Qin Luoyan, who was disheveled and embarrassed, nodded in response, and then left.

Qin Luoyan's room was right next to Mingqi's. She entered the house, closed the door, and finally let out a slow breath of relief. She raised her sleeve and sniffed it, almost fainting from the smell. 。This garment is still the one Ming wore when he treated his wounds that day. He got quite a bit of blood on it while treating his wounds, and over these past few days, with nowhere to bathe or change, the clothes have fermented for a few days now. The smell is truly intoxicating. 。On the small table by the window, there was a tiny copper mirror. She picked it up and looked at her reflection. When she saw the dark, inky face staring back at her, the corner of her mouth twitched. 。His face, which had been scratched and bloodied during the battle, bore the marks of several days on the road. The bloodstains were faded but seemed to have left a layer of grime, making his appearance truly wretched. 。Now, she somewhat admired Ming Qi. It was clear he wasn't an ordinary wealthy man, yet he endured all the hardships with patience, especially putting up with her flamboyant face. 。The young waiter soon brought in the hot water. He was accompanied by a subordinate of the masked man. When he came in, he also brought a set of women's clothing. Looking at the style, it should be what the maids in the inn wore, but it was very clean. 。After Qin Luoyan bid farewell, she finally sent the two of them out. 。Closing the door behind her, she immediately took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. 。The warm water immediately enveloped her body, she let out a comfortable sigh, and the weariness from days of travel seemed to be released in this moment. 。She just sat there quietly with her eyes closed for a few minutes before she started to scrub herself. After washing, she found that the water in the tub had become murky and dirty. She blushed uncharacteristically; never in all her life had she been so filthy. 。She got up and put on her clothes, thinking that the shop assistant would be embarrassed to see such dirty bath water, so she was going to pour it out herself. 。She carried the water to the courtyard, seeking a corner with a drain to empty it. As she turned around, she saw Mingqi's men bringing in a captivating and alluring woman into the small courtyard. 。Although it was springtime, there was still a chill in the air. The woman, wanting to show off her figure, wore only a sheer robe. Underneath, one could faintly see her undergarments. She had on heavy makeup, and between her brows and eyes there was a captivating allure. 。Such a woman, anyone could see that she came from a brothel. 。 Ming Qi's men hadn't expected to be caught by Qin Luo Yan in the courtyard. There was a fleeting awkwardness on their faces, but when they saw clearly Qin Luo Yan's face, it was undisguised amazement. 。He glanced at the woman beside him, then at Qin LuoYan, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He simply led the woman towards Ming Qi's room. 。"Master, the person has arrived." 。“That person knocked on the door and said respectfully, ” 。Soon, a lazy voice came from inside, "Let her in." 。“

The man pushed open the door and let the woman in, then quickly closed the door again. Through the brief moment when the door opened and closed, Qin Luoyan vaguely saw a steaming hot bath inside. ” 。It's a lie to say she wasn't embarrassed. She was just taking a bath when she saw Ming Qi recruiting prostitutes, uh... how could she not be embarrassed But thankfully, she wasn't a naive young girl anymore. Deep down, she was a worldly modern woman, so the embarrassment passed after a moment. 。I'm increasingly looking down on these men. It seems that men are all the same, regardless of the era. In modern times, those men always flirt when they're on business trips, but I didn't expect that ancient men would be no different. They never forget to relieve their physical needs even when they're away from home. 。Qin Luoyan stood in the courtyard with a basin in her hand, looking at the two rooms close together. Her scalp immediately tingled. This inn was made of wooden houses, so she would definitely be able to hear those blushing and heart-pounding sounds from the next room when she returned to her own! She hesitated for a while, feeling that it was better not to go back. 。So she put down the wooden basin and found a stone bench in the yard to sit on. 。But she clearly underestimated her own imagination. Although she couldn't hear or see, she knew exactly what was happening in that room, and she couldn't just pretend nothing was going on. 。If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please copy and paste the following URL to share it with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
