Chapter 70: Find the Shadow Puppeteer

The women of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and etiquette, singing, dancing and drinking since childhood, and their comprehensive quality cannot be underestimated, which is also the basis for them to sell themselves and entertain others.

From the perspective of the owner of the Qinglou, it is not easy to cultivate qualified famous prostitutes, often with large investments, raised in luxurious single rooms like rich ladies, and some Oiran level are even qualified to live in single-family courtyards.

However, the redemption of a famous prostitute is not as exaggerated as a romance novel, often tens of thousands of taels and so on.

This is because the purchasing power of silver taels in the Great Qian Dynasty is not low, and a hundred taels of silver is 100,000 yuan, which is enough to redeem ordinary famous prostitutes, and the Oiran level is also a few hundred taels to a thousand taels.

This news is indeed somewhat unusual.

Even Fang Hong couldn't help but sigh when he heard it: "That's really a high roller, according to me, one hundred taels is enough." ”

Qin'er is not a famous horn, so why bother spending an extra two hundred taels?

Gao Feng said: "That's true, big families buy a little girl to be a maid, the price is usually three or four taels, five or six taels, and the price of individual beauty embryos is more than ten taels, it depends on whether people are willing to accept it."

Even those maids who are a little older and have a skill are twenty or thirty taels, and those with outstanding appearance may reach fifty or sixty taels, but they are all at the level of being concubines, and they will not increase further.

In addition, the women in Qinglou all advertise that they do not sell their bodies, which is the basis of their worth.

But as you get older, if you can't redeem yourself in time, you may be reduced to relying on selling your body to make money.

By that time, the value was constantly decreasing.

It seems that the high roller is either true love or really rich, and he doesn't care about spending more money at all. ”

"What is not true love or wealth, didn't you hear Miss Xiang'er clearly, now Miss Qin'er lives alone in a courtyard inside, and is offered as an aunt!"

Li Yu sneered and disagreed.

With such a rich family, why don't you just take her out to live?

That can only mean that the other party does not have a house!

Li Yu felt more and more that the conditions really matched.

The people in the Demon Sect are in a precarious situation, even if they are masters at the level of the Great Dharma Protector, they don't have any property, so they can only rent a place here to live temporarily, which makes them miserable.

chatted with Xiang'er and the others for a long time, and Li Yu waved them away in the reluctance of the other party.

Because the two general flags and Yu Liang and others came back, bringing news that everything was ready.

Yu Liang said: "Some of the guests outside have dispersed, but there are still many who are ready to stay overnight, fortunately, Qin'er's place is secluded in the back, and it is still a single courtyard, so there should be no problem." ”

Li Yu stood up and asked, "How is the fighting strength on our side?" ”

The two general flags arched their hands and said: "We each have two banners under our jurisdiction, and we can make up four strangers, plus two of us, a total of ten."

Then there are the three Inhumans who were transferred from the vicinity, and they were all Inhumans who controlled one or two strange treasures.

In addition, there are other colleagues in Pingkangfang, and if necessary, they can recruit reinforcements that are multiplier than ours, and even soldiers and horses from the patrol department. ”

Fang Hong said: "The specific number of enemies is difficult to estimate, but it should be enough, and there is no need to even ask for help." ”

Li Yu nodded.

Nowadays, treacherous power is not very common, even considering that some reckless aliens will be recruited to act as protectors, the number is limited, at best, it is at the level of three or five.

At the beginning, the shadow puppet man attacked the convoy alone and wanted to rob the fox bride, which seemed to be heroic, but in fact it was helpless.

Perhaps, there are no Inhuman subordinates under his command, the Great Dharma Protector, and he is completely a light pole.

Judging from the past data, this is also very likely, after all, the treacherous trend is only beginning to recover.

As for those ordinary people?

Ordinary people simply can't be the opponent of the Demon Suppression Division.

Regardless of numbers, armor, weapons, or the level of training and combat awareness, they are far from being opponents.

After the last attack, the Demon Sect showed signs of turning from darkness to light, which attracted great attention from the Governor's Mansion, and even began to equip the Demon Suppression Division with ordnance that would not normally be distributed.

Not to mention other things, with that set of straight armor alone, it is definitely not something that ordinary demon cultists from civilian backgrounds can compete with.

And this time, the Demon Suppression Division has two soldiers in each rank, and they are armored combat units!

The others wore the common mandarin duck jackets in the army, which had limited protection, but it was better than those civilians who were completely unarmoured.

"Without further ado, let's do it."

Li Yu thought for a moment and ordered action.

The two general banners were originally veterans, and they immediately arranged for someone to control the bustard mother, as well as the suspicious characters who were targeted before.

Sure enough, there are no strangers among them, and the problem is solved neatly at once.

But when they kicked open the door and rushed in to arrest Miss Qin'er, they were surprised to find that there was no one inside.

"My lord, there's no one inside."

"What, no one? No way! ”

This was simply a question of their stalking work, and the two people under the general flag immediately cried out.

"We've been staring at the front hall and backyard, even if we've climbed over the wall or through the window!"

"Find out if you're hiding, or leave through the secret passages."

Someone else said.

While they were puzzled, Li Yu thought of some of the details he had asked before.

Since she was ransomed, this girl has stopped taking customers, and often locks herself in her room from outsiders.

Even the two maids who were originally serving each other could only go in when they were delivering food or pouring night incense.

"It can't be that there's a treacherous realm hidden in the room, right?"

He's really been scared of this thing lately, it's obviously a very rare thing, why is he always bumped into by himself?

So while others were not paying attention, he secretly took a sip of the wine in the bottle, and stood at the door and looked inside from the outside.

What turned out to be revealed to him was not the original courtyard, but a crumbling ruin, as if it had been burned by fire.

Its walls were blackened by smoke and fire, and all doors and windows were burned, but the pillars were still steady, and the beams and roof were not burned, and the overall structure remained intact.

Gray and black mist swirled around like the smoke of a fire.

The room was filled with fog and black smoke, as if someone had burned something here not long ago.

But judging by the reactions of others, there is no perception at all.

This fog and black smoke did not come out of the original world, but from the mysterious realm of another time and space.

His gaze followed the source of the smoke from which it had drifted out, but within the curtain, in the corner of the bed, revealed the source of the smoke like a campfire that had just been extinguished.

Suddenly, his gaze seemed to penetrate the bed board and cast it on the bottom of the bed.

"Inhuman (Wang Qicai) (Ghosted)"

γ€ŽToken (Shadow Puppet)

That Gu Heart Demon Sect Great Protector Shadow Puppet is called Wang Qicai!

I've really found him, so I'm hiding here!
