Shengjing Noble

Chapter 557 Unprepared

"Mermaid or not, how can they be as pretty as the girls in Hua Man Lou? When I make a lot of money, I'll take you to see them!"

"Really? That's great! I heard that a new girl has recently come to Hua Man Lou. She's good at singing and dancing, and she's also very pretty!"

"I've heard of it, too. Her singing voice is the legendary mermaid song. Let's go and have a look later. The city is holding a Lantern Festival right now, and it's very lively now!"

……

Hearing this, Su Lanyin put down the teacup in her hand, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

Could the woman they were talking about be Song Huaizhi?

No, she has to go to Huamanlou to check. If it is the case, it will be easier to find the third brother.

Thinking of this, she threw down a few copper coins and rode towards Haicheng.

……

a few days ago.

Fu Wuyang carried Shen Ruchu to the bedside and gently placed her on the bed.

"Ayang... do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment..."

Shen Ruchu's eyes were full of affection. She raised her hands to hook them around Fu Wuyang's neck, but he held her hands back.

"As soon as you start, turn around."

Fu Wuyang's voice is deep and hoarse, making it hard to resist.

Shen Ruchu cooperated obediently. As soon as he turned over, he felt a dull pain in the back of his neck. Then his eyes went dark and he fell on the bed.

Fu Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, left the room, and snapped his fingers at the empty yard.

A dark shadow fell and An Ling knelt on one knee.

"Master, please give me your instructions."

Fu Wuyang said coldly: "Search for Su Lanyin's whereabouts. If necessary, issue a nationwide wanted warrant."

"Yes!"

The black shadow flashed by and disappeared into the night.

Fu Wuyang walked outside, and Xiao Han followed immediately.

"Ready your horse."

"Where are you going, my lord?"

"Go south."

Xiao Han immediately knelt in front, raised his head and sincerely stopped him, "Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to go to the Northern Territory within three days. You must not be so foolish for a woman at this time!"

Fu Wuyang froze in place, with reluctance and anger in his eyes. He clenched his fists, hesitating between making a choice.

Seeing him hesitate, Xiao Han quickly continued, "Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people at the border are still in dire straits! They are also waiting for you!"

Hearing this, Fu Wuyang closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes. There were red bloodshot in his eyes, revealing endless fatigue and helplessness.

"Send someone to find her, prepare the horses, and go to the military camp." After saying this, he strode out.

"Yes!"

Xiao Han was overjoyed and quickly got up and followed!

……

Haicheng.

The setting sun did not take away the prosperity of Haicheng. On the contrary, Haicheng under the night was brightly lit and dazzling, and the streets were busy with cars and people.

Various vendors were calling out to customers, and countless tourists came in an endless stream.

Su Lanyin was dressed in dark green men's clothes. Although she had disguised herself, it was hard to hide her handsomeness. Whenever she walked through the market, she would always attract the attention of the girls.

She came to a snack stand and bought some food, and asked, "Boss, where is Hua Man Lou?"

While helping her pack her food, the boss said, "Hua Man Lou is not far ahead. Just walk down this street and turn left."

"Thank you."

Su Lanyin paid the money, then took the food and ate while walking.

Haicheng is originally a port, and 80% of the people gathered here are tourists.

It is very lively on weekdays, not to mention that today is the Lantern Festival.

She saw some brightly dressed little girls wearing masks and giggling while strolling on the street, and she couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

Why doesn't Shengjing have such an open-minded folk custom? Otherwise, she would definitely take Cuizhu and several other maids out to play every night.

After finding her third brother, she will definitely write to her family and ask them to come over to see the fun.

She was walking when she was suddenly bumped into by someone.

Su Lanyin took a few steps back and managed to stand steady, the woman still lying in her arms.

Fortunately, she was wearing a bra, otherwise she would have been exposed as a woman disguised as a man.

"Are you okay, miss?"

Su Lanyin pushed the woman away, then took two steps back without leaving a trace.

The woman stood up, looked at her with tenderness in her eyes, lowered her head shyly, and looked pretentious.

"Please don't blame me, sir. I didn't mean to do that... Did I scare you? Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground."

Su Lanyin was a little embarrassed and waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. I just hope you didn't fall."

"My name is Luo Lian, you can just call me Xiao Lian. I don't think you are from Haicheng from your accent."

"Yes, I came here... to have fun."

"I see. Do you have a guide? To apologize, how about letting me be your guide?" Luo Lian introduced enthusiastically.

"No need, I... I have a friend here, and I came here to find him." Su Lanyin declined with a smile.

"Oh, so... So are you going to look for your friends now?"

"I... that's it."

"Where is she? How about I lead the way for you, sir?"

"In Huamanlou."

"I know Hua Man Lou, but it's a little slow to get there from here. There's a lot of traffic ahead. Otherwise, you can follow me. I know a small path that leads there."

"Really? That would be great."

Su Lanyin was worried that someone ahead was guessing riddles, blocking the road.

If I could take a shortcut, I could quickly go to Huamanlou and see if the singer those people were talking about was Song Huaizhi.

"Sir, come with me. By the way, I don't know what your name is?"

"Just call me Lu Lan."

"Mr. Lu's name is really nice."

"Miss Xiaolian, you are too polite."

"Oh, right, just go through the alley in front and you'll get there."

Su Lanyin took a look and found that it was indeed the alley on the left. If she went this way, she should be able to reach Huamanlou.

She followed Luo Lian into the alley without any precautions.

Unlike the market outside, this alley is deep and dark. Standing at the entrance and looking inside, it looks like an abyss that is about to swallow people.

Su Lanyin was a little hesitant, but when she saw Luo Lian had already walked in, she followed.

"Don't be afraid, sir. This alley is a little dark, but it will be a different scene once you cross it."

"Well, thank you Miss Xiaolian."

"Don't be polite to me. I was just joking with my sisters and they pushed me out. If it weren't for you, I would have been embarrassed."

Luo Lian smiled, but Su Lanyin felt something was wrong.

She said she was joking with her sisters...but there were clearly no other women seen just now.

Moreover, she led the way if she said so. If it was a normal situation, she should at least tell her companions, right?

Is it...

Su Lanyin instantly became alert and stood still without moving forward.

Luo Lian realized that there were no footsteps behind her, and turned to look at him with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

"Why don't you leave, sir?"
