The cold moon shone on the dark streets, and in the middle of spring in April, there was no ice or snow in the city of Amster, but the temperature difference at night also made people have to curl up in a thick quilt in the middle of the night to resist the cold.

The night breeze blew across his neck, causing a layer of hair to stand up, and Liu Ci couldn't help but pull the collar a little higher.

She and Steward Wicks didn't ride in a carriage or take anyone else, and they walked across most of Amster City to Moy's Tavern.

There was no difference between day and night among the mercenaries, and even though it was the middle of the night, the half-hidden door of the tavern was not only full of light, but also lively conversations. When Liu Ci led Wicks Butler into the door, the lively mercenaries were quiet for a moment, and then they opened their eyes again. The mercenary world is changing quickly, plus Lydia and Arnoldra have left some of the people Liu Ci knows, and now there are really two mercenaries she knows.

Fortunately, Moy's Tavern easily did not change the owner, and the chubby Mrs. Betty was originally dozing off at the counter, and when she saw Liu Ci coming in in the middle of the night, she immediately laughed so much that she couldn't see her teeth. In the eyes of Mrs. Betty, Liu Ci, who was generous, could directly be equated with gold coins.

In the middle of the night, Liu Ci would never bring an old man to Moi's Tavern to get drunk.

"Madame, how have you been?"

Mrs. Betty smiled and nodded, "Here's a bunch of rough guys, let's go in and talk." ”

Under the watchful eye of a group of "rough men", Liu Ci and Wicks Butler were taken to the backyard by Mrs. Betty. As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Betty laughed:

"Miss Ci has been moving a lot lately."

Liu Ci sneered, "The whole city is watching my jokes, and there is indeed a lot of movement." ”

Others don't know the boss behind Four Seasons, and Mrs. Betty is well-informed and must know that the two of them have been talking about "poisoning incidents" back and forth. Liu Ci is now coming to the door, and he is sending gold coins.

The yellow gold coins are more moving than a handsome knight like Claude in Mrs. Betty, and Liu Ci's generosity left a deep impression on Mrs. Betty, and her smile was particularly real in the face of Liu Ci.

"Madam, I won't say anything hypocritical, I'm going to clean up the villain who is conspiring behind me now, I hope Madame can help."

Liu Ci got straight to the point and said it very directly. She held a teacup in her hand, her little finger was slightly sunk, and she was wet with tea, not hiding her purpose at all.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Betty, who only recognized gold coins, had a twinkle in her eyes, "The person behind it...... Miss Ci, Moi's Tavern is not easy to run, but I can't help you. ”

Can't help? Who's behind it?

The gloom in Liu Ci's heart aggravated by two points, and he couldn't help but bring a little gloom to his face: "To deal with the people of Si Xian, it won't be any mercenary mission issued, right?" I heard that part of the mission of Moi Tavern is secretly approached, and Four Seasons Fresh is a new shop......"

Mrs. Betty hurriedly denied it, "Of course not, with our friendship, how could the Moi Tavern issue a mercenary mission to deal with Four Seasons Xian." ”

Friendship, between her and Mrs. Betty, there is only a friendship minted by gold coins.

In business competition, it is true that no one uses mercenaries to participate. The Magic Continent is a realm where magicians and swordsmen are against the sky, and most of the people who engage in business are ordinary people, whether it is the Mercenary Association or the Magic Association, they all have restrictions on their members, if the magicians and swordsmen directly and brutally suppress the merchants by force at will, the circulation of goods in the north and south of the world will not be carried out normally - living in fear all day long, who would dare to do business?

Liu Ci didn't expect that Mrs. Betty, who was open-eyed when she saw money, would refuse to provide information, and suppressed the irritability in her heart, and she changed directions again.

"I'm going to get Stuart out first."

Because Liu Ci's tone was affirmative, obviously making up her mind, Mrs. Betty thought about it for a while and beckoned to Liu Ci.

Liu Ci leaned sideways, and Mrs. Betty whispered a few words in her ear, and Liu Ci's eyebrows rose.

"Really?" Liu Ci sat up straight, looking at Mrs. Betty suspiciously, there is a tendency that you will not pay the bill if you give false information.

Mrs. Betty smiled and nodded, exuding an aura called "gossip".

"Then I believe you once, and then we will negotiate the price when the matter is done!"

Liu Ci put down the teacup, stood up very simply, straightened his waist and pushed the door away.

Mrs. Betty still sat in her chair with a smile on her face, slowly drinking milk tea. She didn't know Liu Ci's identity, and she couldn't find out with the mercenary association, but Liu Ci's pride was engraved in her bones, and Mrs. Betty was not afraid of her defaulting on such a person.

Liu Ci pushed open the door, and the moonlight above his head was just right, and the Wicks housekeeper hurriedly greeted him.

"Miss Ci, but there's a way?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Ci's mouth, and he nodded at the old man as he walked out.

Walking straight to the deserted street in the middle of the night, Wicks was worried and worried, and couldn't help but ask Liu Ci what he could do and how he could help.

The bright moonlight sprinkled the city of Amst, the city at night faded away from the bustle of the day, and the buildings with yellow sand and shoddy earth walls became more subtle, making the city built in the mountains of Amst indescribably mysterious.

Liu Ci's smile was also quite mysterious in Wicks' eyes, and in the face of the old man's inquiry, she slowly shook her head and lowered her voice:

"I once heard a saying that men conquer the world, and women conquer men...... How else can you help? ”

Steward Wix stiffened, if he was bolder, he really wanted to shake Liu Ci's neck and yell, "Miss Ci, do you know what you're talking about?"

……

It was soon dawning, and the streets of Emster City were bustling again.

The shouts of the hawkers, the neighing of the livestock, the staggering mercenaries with the big sword and the hangover unawakened. Walking all over the Spurs Empire, only Emster City is the one in front of you.

Today, several tailor shops in the city are doing good business, and the nobles' daughters and wives are choosing from several old shops in twos and threes.

New skirts from the capital of the Spur Country, new shoe patterns popular in the Xiyi Empire, and fine pearl jewelry sold from the Ruilan Empire. The ladies are broad, the ladies are beautiful, the tailors and the jewelers are busy, which boss doesn't smile and crooked his mouth?

"Mother, let's go to other houses, there are no beautiful clothes here!"

The young lady of the Viscount's family glanced around the window with her chin slightly raised, and listened to her tone, as if there were dozens of dresses, none of which caught her eye.

The Viscountess patted her daughter's hand, and there was a look of approval in her eyes.

The other ladies and ladies who were in high spirits, hearing this, felt a little stiff in their hands when they were choosing clothes, and they also had the idea of leaving.

The shopkeeper who was recommending the new model next to him immediately noticed the unusual atmosphere in the store, and when he looked up at the person who spoke, his heart was really broken.

The prince and uncle, a viscount is nothing, and those who choose clothes in the store even have the daughter of the earl's family! But the viscountess in front of her is different from the noble daughter.

The viscountess looked to be in her thirties, unlike other meticulous noblewomen, her hair was loosely tied up at the ear, and the collar of her skirt was different from the open-breasted court dress, which was high to the neck, revealing only a little fair and delicate skin, which stood out from the crowd of open-chested noblewomen. Although he looks like he is in his thirties, his temperament is both charming and innocent, and his appearance is not very beautiful, but it is a popular temperament for both men and women.

And her daughter, a noble lady who used to look down on the clothes of the tailor's shop, is only sixteen or seventeen years old, her figure is very attractive, but there is no glamour on her face, and her gestures are dignified.

The mother and daughter are not glamorous, but their temperaments have their own merits, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

They are the family of Viscount Gaskin, a well-known "fashionista" in Amster City. Mrs. Gaskin is good at grasping trends, and the same clothes and jewelry, when matched by her, always look better than wearing them on others, so Viscount Gaskin's title is not high, but his wife and daughter are very famous in the upper circles.

The comment of the viscount's daughter is like Liu Ci's era, which was given a bad review by everyone in fashion, how can the store not be in a hurry? I didn't see the other customers in the store, and after listening to the words of the viscount's daughter, the movements of choosing clothes were a few beats slower.

"Miss Eve, pick carefully, we just shipped a lot of new ones from the capital!"

The boss said a lot of things, so he left the mother and daughter behind, smiled so hard that his face was sour, and accompanied them around. After shopping the first floor and the second floor, and the third floor of the shop, Miss Eve's pickiness did not stop.

"This is last year's style...... These shoes, you are embarrassed to say that they are new to Ruilan Country, and someone has been walking around the city wearing them last month! You're too dishonest in business, you're fooling us. ”

The proprietress wiped her cold sweat, and Miss Eve's voice was clear and bright, although it was not as sharp and ugly as those noble ladies, but she was dignified and picky, and the customers in the shop heard it. The boss saw that Miss Eve finished fiddling with the pearl necklace, and before the aristocratic daughter in front of him could speak, his waist bent even lower.

"Miss Eve, we actually kept a set of spring clothes......"

The Viscountess and Miss Eve glanced at each other and sneered secretly, these profiteers really watched people serve food, bullied them for not having a high status, and they didn't even take out good things.

"You are talking nonsense, everyone is going to Mrs. Katrina's dinner tonight, if you don't put out good things, will you still have mold?"

The ladies and ladies of the shop were shooting their knives in this direction, and the proprietor was in a cold sweat, and he wanted to say that the dress was intended for Mrs. Catherina.

Everyone talked about it, and the boss who hid his private affairs was scolded so much that he couldn't raise his head, so he had to ask someone to go to the house to get a skirt.

Everyone waited eagerly, and when the clerk revealed the boss's private secrets, even Miss Eve held her breath.

The simple and elegant cut immediately captured the hearts of everyone present - if they wore such a skirt to the banquet, how many men's eyes would be stranded for them? All the ladies and ladies were moved.

Miss Eve stroked the folds of her white dress and smiled very sincerely, sweeping away her previous pickiness.
