Ch 72: Little Yinghong
“I want to redeem Master, but the Madam at Tianqing Tower demanded 50,000 taels from me, and I simply cannot afford that much money.” Zhou Qianlin whispered.
“Your Master, is he alright?” Li Hanzhou didn’t know how to ask, so he could only ask indirectly.
After all, what a brothel woman does is common knowledge.
“Um, he should be fine.” Zhou Qianlin spoke without confidence at this moment, then said: “I told Master that I will rescue him as soon as possible, and Master said that he will also uphold his principles and strive to resist…”
“Where is that brothel located?”
“In Divine Capital.”
“How far is Divine Capital from here?” Li Hanzhou asked.
“If you ride a horse, it will take about two days to arrive.” Zhou Qianlin quickly asked: “Is Martial Uncle going to rush over to save Master?”
“The Fourth Prince is currently in Divine Capital. I will write a letter to the Fourth Prince and ask him to help me get Master out first. By the way, what is your Master’s current name?”
“Master’s current name is Xiao Yinghong.” Zhou Qianlin’s face turned red after saying this; it was too shameful.
Li Hanzhou almost choked on his water. His big, burly senior brother actually goes by the name Xiao Yinghong.
Forget it, let’s save him first.
With one step, his figure disappeared directly into the room.
Seeing Li Hanzhou leave so indifferently, Zhou Qianlin was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn’t his Martial Uncle a good-for-nothing wastrel?
Why does his martial arts seem so powerful?
“Junior Brother, why is Martial Uncle so powerful now?” Zhou Qianlin couldn’t help but ask.
“I don’t know either.” Shi Ming shook his head: “Martial Uncle is incredibly strong now. Our Longevity Temple is now known to everyone in the Divine Palace Kingdom…”
Li Hanzhou left the dilapidated small courtyard, then found a place, wrote a letter, and had a messenger falcon deliver it to Divine Capital at the fastest speed. At the same time, Li Hanzhou also hurried towards Divine Capital.
Before leaving, Li Hanzhou returned to the Separate Residence. Inside the Separate Residence were two of the Fourth Prince’s personal guards; they were left to serve Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou directly ordered them to bring people to surround that dilapidated small courtyard and then seize them first.
Great Zhou Divine Capital.
Today, the Great Zhou Emperor held a family banquet, and more than ten princes came.
Yun Qing was praised by Emperor Zhou at the banquet for the matter of praying for rain.
“Father Emperor, this is merely what your son should do. The fact that Wan Shui City finally had rain must be because Heaven pitied the commoners and acknowledged Father Emperor as the Emperor. Your son’s contribution is insignificant.” Yun Qing respectfully said to Emperor Zhou.
Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded.
The faces of the other princes were all very unsightly.
Especially the Sixth Prince and the Second Prince.
“You few, you should learn more from your Fourth Brother.” Emperor Zhou glanced at the other princes.
“Yes, Father Emperor.” Everyone quickly agreed.
“Yun Po.” Emperor Zhou looked at his Second Brother, who was closest to him.
“Father Emperor.” Yun Po quickly stood up.
He was already over forty years old, with a full beard, and a fierce aura, looking particularly rough.
“Your Big Brother died young, and now you are the eldest brother. In the future, if your younger brothers have any problems, I hope you will help them.” Emperor Zhou said indifferently.
“Father Emperor, I remember.” After hearing this, Yun Po felt very unhappy.
What does it mean that he should help them if they have any problems?
Isn’t this just saying that he hopes he will assist the future Crown Prince?
Don’t cause trouble for them?
Doesn’t it mean that the position of Crown Prince is not meant for him?
Which of them does Father Emperor favor, and to whom does he plan to pass the throne?
Could it be the Fourth Brother?
Praising the Fourth Brother so much here today makes it very likely!
A palace banquet finally ended in filial piety.
Everyone’s hypocritical faces were fully displayed at the Imperial Court.
After Yun Qing returned to his mansion, a personal guard came forward and respectfully said: “Your Highness, it’s a letter from the Yunhuang Great Priest.”
“Let me see it.”
Yun Qing quickly took the letter.
If it weren’t for Li Hanzhou this time, how could Father Emperor have praised him?
Yun Qing was in a very good mood.
After he opened the letter and saw the contents, he curiously asked: “Is there a place called Tianqing Tower?”
Several guards around him heard this and quickly said: “Fourth Highness, Tianqing Tower is a place of prostitution. In Divine Capital, there is not only one Tianqing Tower, but four of them. They are located in the four directions of Divine Capital. Business is booming, and the young ladies inside are all very beautiful.”
“It seems that you few have been there quite a bit.” Yun Qing looked at the few men.
Several personal guards quickly shook their heads: “We heard it, we heard it.”
“Help me find someone,” the Fourth Prince said: “I don’t know which Tianqing Tower she’s in. Her name is Xiao Yinghong. If you find her, redeem her.”
“Yes!”
Several people quickly left to find Xiao Yinghong.
Second Prince’s Mansion.
“Crash!”
“Clang!”
The sound of things being violently smashed.
All the servants in the mansion were too scared to breathe.
Even the Second Prince’s Consort and concubines didn’t dare to go inside.
“Why?!”
“Why don’t I have the qualifications to fight for the position of Crown Prince?!”
“Damn it!”
“I’ve made great contributions on the battlefield, yet now I’m supposed to help those useless younger brothers!”
Yun Po was about to go crazy.
“What is the Fourth Brother?!”
“He’s nothing but a fart! How dare he compete with me? When I get the chance, I’ll kill you!”
Yun Po was in a rage when a soldier walked in from outside. Seeing the scene inside, he hesitated for a long time and didn’t dare to go in.
“Get in here!”
Yun Po roared.
“Yes, yes!” The soldier quickly went inside.
“Second Master,” the soldier quickly said: “The Fourth Prince’s side has some unusual activity. They are looking for someone and have gone to Tianqing Tower.”
“Tianqing Tower?” Yun Po frowned: “Who are they looking for at Tianqing Tower?”
“Looking for someone called Xiao Yinghong.” The soldier cautiously said: “The Fourth Prince doesn’t seem to know that Tianqing Tower is Second Master’s industry. They are very anxious to find Xiao Yinghong.”
“Xiao Yinghong?”
Yun Po couldn’t help but ask: “Who is that person?”
“Reporting to Second Master, she used to be a singer. Later, the Madam made her receive guests, but she refused and even tried to hang herself, but she was saved. Recently, the Madam was afraid that she would die again, so she didn’t let her receive guests. But recently, I don’t know what happened; her singing and playing are terrible, and she has been complained about by guests several times. So the Madam, in a fit of anger, locked her up in the basement.” The soldier quickly told Yun Po.
“Oh?”
Yun Po was surprised: “That brat Yun Qing is actually looking for this Xiao Yinghong. Could it be that they have something going on?”
“Hmph, have someone bring Xiao Yinghong to my mansion. I want to see what kind of tricks they are up to.”
“Yes!”
“Perhaps I can pry some secrets out of this Xiao Yinghong about the Fourth Brother.” Yun Po thought.
In the basement of Tianqing Tower.
It was very damp here, with rats running around and even cockroaches.
In the corner sat a woman in red clothes, about twenty years old, with delicate features, beautiful enough to be called breathtaking.
Her figure was graceful, with curves in all the right places.
“Sigh.” The young girl sighed softly, a sigh filled with endless sorrow.
