NFBE Chapter 150: Sneaking into Dragon City
Chapter 150: Sneaking into Dragon City
Li Qing was looking at the familiar entrance to Dragon City in the distance, thinking about how to avoid the group of fox demons who were checking him, sneak into Dragon City, and buy some clothes.
"Elder, the Second In Command has asked us to come to Dragon City to investigate for a long time, but we still haven't found the person he asked us to find. What do you think we should do? ..."
"shut up!!!"
A fox demon who looked older immediately scolded the one who was speaking.
"Since the Second Boss asked us to come here to look for someone, we just need to follow her orders. No need to ask too many questions, and don't overthink it! Just do what the Second Boss tells us to do!"
“It’s the elder!!!”
After hearing the elder's words, the fox demon's expression changed immediately. He became silent as a cicada and dared not mention the matter again.
At this moment, a cart carrying vegetables passed by Li Qing. The body of the cart was covered with cloth, leaving only some vegetables exposed.
Li Qing looked at the vehicles passing by him and suddenly a plan came to his mind.
Just as I was about to take action, I suddenly saw a car carrying other things, also covered with cloth, coming to the city gate.
Just as the driver was about to enter the car, he was stopped by fox demons. The fox demons lifted the cloth covering the back of the car and checked it carefully. After finding nothing unusual, they let the car into the city.
Li Qing immediately gave up the idea of hiding in the car and sneaking into the city.
"It seems that this won't work. We have to find another way!"
More than 20 minutes later, a woman with messy hair covering her face and wearing tattered patched clothes, but still able to tell from her exposed face that she was good-looking, drove a vehicle carrying fruits and vegetables towards the city gate.
On the car board behind the woman, there was a man with gray hair lying on the floor. He had a pale face, dark circles under his eyes, and looked very ill.
As soon as the woman's car arrived at the city gate, she was stopped by the fox demons.
"Hello, routine check-up!"
The fox demon stopped the car driven by the woman and spoke to her.
"Please hurry up, my husband is seriously injured, I need to take him inside for treatment, there is no time to waste!"
The woman's face was filled with anxiety.
The fox demon nodded and gestured to the other fox demons behind him. They came to the back of the vehicle, lifted the cloth covering the back of the vehicle, and checked it.
Then a group of fox spirits came to the woman and shook their heads to indicate that they found nothing unusual.
After the fox demon understood, he said to the woman again with an apologetic look:
"Excuse me, can you please show us what your husband looks like?"
"I'm afraid my husband's appearance will scare you! But if you want to see it, go ahead!"
The woman moved aside, revealing the man lying behind her.
The man was wearing a patched robe, his body was almost stained red with blood, and there was a horrific sword wound on his face, as if someone had cut his sword in half with a sword. He looked extremely terrifying.
Even the fox demons were frightened when they saw it. They just took a quick glance and hurriedly let the two in, fearing that delaying the treatment of the injuries would result in the death of the woman's husband.
After the woman drove into the city, she stopped at a secluded place, then turned to the man lying behind her and said:
"We're already in!"
Upon hearing this, the man sat up from the car floor, glanced around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had indeed entered Dragon City.
"Huh! I finally tricked those fox demons and got in!"
These two people were none other than Li Qing and his companion. In order to sneak into Longcheng, Li Qing first spent a large sum of money to buy the fruits, vehicles and clothes that an old farmer was driving to Longcheng to sell.
He then painfully cut his face with the dagger that Qin Lan carried with her, and scraped the lime off the wall and rubbed it on his hair and face, only then did he allow Qin Lan to drive into Longcheng.
"Where do we go now?"
Qin Lan asked as she looked at Li Qing who got off the car and wiped the lime off his face with his robe.
"No hurry, I'll clean myself up first and change my clothes, then we'll go to the city to buy some clothes!"
Not long after, Li Qing changed his clothes and wiped most of the lime off his face, except for the lime on his hair which had not been wiped clean yet.
But Li Qing is not in a hurry now. After all, he doesn't know whether he will need it again in a while.
After Qin Lan changed her clothes, the two, led by Li Qing, walked towards the clothing store in Longcheng.
Meanwhile, in Qingyu Tower, Mother Yang had been having a very unhappy life over the past six months, with the business of her brothel getting worse day by day.
First, the previous courtesan Qin Xian'er used her savings of nearly ten years to redeem herself, and then disappeared.
And the new oiran, Long Jiu, whom she wanted to promote, disappeared on the day she became the oiran and her whereabouts are still unknown.
Mother Yang began to suspect that Qin Xian'er had colluded with others and deliberately removed her from Qingyu Tower.
As the two courtesans disappeared, Qingyu Tower's business plummeted. In addition, a new brothel opened in Longcheng, which seemed to replace Qingyu Tower, making the situation even worse.
"Hmph! Damn you guys, you actually colluded with each other to deceive me. You'd better not let me meet you again, otherwise...!"
As Mother Yang spoke, she smashed the cup in her hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces, her eyes full of anger.
"mom!"
At this time, a strong man came to Mother Yang respectfully and knelt down on one knee.
"explain!!!"
"Mom, we found out where Xian'er is!"
"Hmm? Where is that damn bitch hiding?"
When Mother Yang heard the strong man's words, a hint of joy finally appeared on her gloomy face.
"She was hiding in the slums in the south of the city, living with the poor, and she hardly ever went out. It took us a lot of effort to get news about her from other people!"
"Hmph! Very good, go and bring her back to me! That damn bitch, she didn't even say a word, left the silver, stole the indenture from my room while I was away, and ran away!"
"I thought she could have gone somewhere else? Turns out she's still hiding in Dragon City!"
"But mom, what if she doesn't want to come back?"
The sturdy man looked at Mother Yang with a conflicted look on his face and said.
"Don't want to come back? Then teach her a lesson and let her remember it!"
The strong man was overjoyed after hearing what Mother Yang said. He answered yes excitedly and walked quickly downstairs.
"Humph! I didn't tell you to leave, so you can't leave! If you leave without permission, you will be punished!"
Mother Yang's eyes flashed coldly as she stared out the window and spoke in a cold voice.
At this time, Li Qing and his companion came to a clothing store, bought a few sets of clothes, and walked out of the store after paying the bill.
Just then, they met a group of thugs from Qingyu Tower who were walking towards the south of the city in a menacing manner.
Li Qing hid immediately and squatted behind Qin Lan.
After Qin Lan and the others left, he looked at Li Qing in confusion and asked:
"What are you hiding from?"
"I just met someone I know. If they recognize me, I'll be in big trouble!"
"Do you have any acquaintances here?"
Qin Lan was puzzled after hearing what Li Qing said. In this remote city, Li Qing seemed to know it very well.
"Of course, I've been to this city several times!"
Li Qing replied.
"What should we do next? Leave the city or?"
"Of course I have to leave the city. If I hide in this city, if that fox comes back one day and finds me, I will be in big trouble!"
At this time, in a dilapidated residential area in the south of the city, most of the people living here were over 50 years old.
At this moment, everyone was looking solemnly at a group of people heading straight for a somewhat dilapidated house.
"It's over. Miss Xian'er is probably in big trouble this time. Those people seem to have bad intentions!"
