Chapter 797: Brothels, nightlife
The Shadow Guard Leader wanted to go out to inquire about the news, of course, Lin Chujiu had no objection. She was not an ignorant little girl, so she naturally knows that it was better for the Shadow Guard Leader to go outside to inquire about the news than to stay here to protect her.
Not to mention that the Shadow Guard Leader proposed it on his initiative. Even if he didn’t say a word, Lin Chujiu would still ask the other party to go outside to inquire about the news.
Although judging from the current situation, the emperor has always been in the upper hand, she doesn’t believe that Xiao Tianyao was not prepared at all.
Xiao Tianyao was not such a stupid person.
Now that the situation outside was unclear, what she has to do was not rush around or take risks, but wait quietly for news. Only by knowing what happened outside can she know what to do next.
After Lin Chujiu was settled, the Shadow Guard Leader left behind two people to protect Lin Chujiu’s safety before leaving: “Wangfei, don’t worry, the martial arts of these two people are not far behind those of low-ranking officials. They will only listen to your orders, whatever you ask them to do, they will do it.”
The Shadow Guard Leader didn’t dare to guarantee the safety of this place, nor guarantee that he can come back alive after going out. What he said was not to reassure Lin Chujiu, but rather to tell Lin Chujiu that the rest of the matter could be handled by her.
She can choose to stand on Xiao Tianyao’s side and hide under the protection of the guards. As for whether she will be found by the emperor’s people, this was something the Shadow Guard Leader cannot control.
In addition to this, Lin Chujiu can also choose to stand on the emperor’s side and help the emperor control the Jinwuwei Army. According to Lin Chujiu’s identity as Princess Xiao, it won’t be difficult to accomplish this.
Of course, if she has the ability, Lin Chujiu can also go far away. No matter what she chooses, the two people who protect her will swear to death to complete the task.
Lin Chujiu has to say that the words of the leader of the hidden guard were very touching, but…in her point of view, this was just nonsense.
She doesn’t have any other choice. She doesn’t have a good relationship with Prime Minister Lin, she can’t take shelter under his wings. What’s more, she offended the emperor to death, and when she becomes useless, she will be miserable.
As everyone knows, she has no power, no backing, and no value. If there was no Xiao Tianyao, she will have no use at all. And after the emperor take back the Jinwuwei Army, she doesn’t how she will die.
As for escaping far away?
Hehe… If she has such ability, then she would rather gather the Jinwuwei Army, lead troops into the palace, capture the emperor alive, rescue Xiao Tianyao, and then arrogantly become Empress Xiao.
However, this was almost impossible. She can’t go out of the capital, let alone contact the Jinwuwei Army.
Lin Chujiu didn’t take the words of the leader of the Shadow Guard Leader to heart. She simply still nodded her head lightly but didn’t say anything.
No matter what her thoughts were, she doesn’t need to tell others, even if this person was the Shadow Guard Leader and Xiao Tianyao’s confidant.
The Shadow Guard Leader left for a whole day without any news. Lin Chujiu stayed in the small courtyard like a bird in a cage. She had no freedom and didn’t know what was going on outside, which was too much.
Of course, what she was worried about was not Xiao Tianyao, but the servants and personal guards of Xiao Wangfu. Before taking down the Jinwuwei Army, the emperor would never touch Xiao Tianyao, but she couldn’t guarantee the servants of Xiao Wangfu’s safety.
In the eyes of the emperor, the servants of Xiao Wangfu were no different from ants, killing them was nothing.
However, it was useless for her to worry now, without the Shadow Guard Leader to send her a message, no matter how big things happen outside, she cannot know.
Fortunately, there was news in the afternoon of the next day, but the news was not very good, at least for Lin Chujiu, it was not good news.
The news from the Shadow Guard Leader to Lin Chujiu was: Xiao Wangfu is closed, the servants in the palace are fine, and please leave the small courtyard quickly!
The emperor sealed Xiao Wangfu this time, it will not just be sealed without inspection like before. This time the emperor will send someone to search Xiao Wangfu and dig three feet under to find Xiao Tianyao’s military token so that he can take over Jinwuwei Army without anyone noticing.
The people sent by the emperor to raid Xiao Wangfu must be good at searching the house. Maybe they can’t find the military token, but it will be possible to find the secret passage.
Once they found out about the secret passage, the courtyard where Lin Chujiu was staying would be unsafe. That was the reason why the Shadow Guard Leader sent a message to ask Lin Chujiu to move quickly.
But, where can she go?
The entire capital was under the control of the emperor and Tiancang Pavilion. Unless Lin Chujiu can fly into the sky or escape from the ground, she will be found by them wherever she goes.
“Leave? There is no room for shelter in the capital.” Lin Chujiu squeezed the note tightly, shook her head, and sighed softly. Then she turned her head to look outside the wall, and a trace of confusion and hesitation flashed in her eyes.
She really doesn’t know where to go to avoid the emperor and the people in Tiancang Pavilion.
“Wait… Tiancang Pavilion?” Lin Chujiu’s eyes lit up suddenly, showing a bright smile: “I know where to hide.”
Lin Chujiu called the two guards and asked them to make arrangements to send her to the Moon Shadow Tower after dark.
That’s right, it was the Moon Shadow Tower, the brothel where Tiancang Pavilion received the client for an assassination mission.
Tiancang Pavilion and Moon Shadow Tower were one family. Lin Chujiu doesn’t believe that people from Tiancang Pavilion would go to investigate the Moon Shadow Tower, nor does she believe that the emperor would think of her hiding in a brothel.
At this time, Lin Chujiu’s whereabouts haven’t been exposed. Although the two guards were not as capable as the Shadow Guard Leader, it was still possible to quietly send Lin Chujiu to the Moon Shadow Tower.
Although the Moon Shadow Tower was the site of Tiancang Pavilion, it was a brothel after all. The people coming and going were very chaotic. The most important thing was that Tiancang Pavilion will not think that Lin Chujiu will hide there. Even if there were people from Tiancang Pavilion, no one would look for Lin Chujiu among the girls in the brothel.
The two guards completed the task very efficiently, successfully concealed from everyone and sent Lin Chujiu to the Moon Shadow Tower, and exchanged her with a famous prostitute known for her beauty.
That prostitute was charming and beautiful, she wears heavy makeup, and she never takes off makeup when she sees people. Lin Chujiu’s heavy makeup was somewhat similar to hers. Adding up the dim lights at night, as long as she doesn’t run in front of people, she will not be exposed.
Lin Chujiu nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the woman who was knocked unconscious by the guards on the ground, and said: “Take her away, and never let her appear in front of others, and you don’t appear around me either.” It was risky, but also safe enough.
After all, neither the emperor nor Tiancang Pavilion would believe that Lin Chujiu would hide in the brothel without protection.
As everyone knows, if a woman hides in a brothel, there was a 100% chance of getting raped!
If Lin Chujiu lost her body, can she still be Princess Xiao?
Maybe, but she has to die!
The guards refused to leave Lin Chujiu alone in the brothel even if they had a thousand guts, but…they didn’t dare to disobey Lin Chujiu’s order. They could only grit their teeth and take the prostitute away, leaving Lin Chujiu alone, and started a nightlife in the brothel… …
