Chapter 475: Mingyue Tower Oiran Competition
When they saw the three words "Zhenxi Army", Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi's faces changed.
"What does it have to do with the Zhenxi Army?"
Jiang Ningwan frowned. "This guy stuffed this note into my hand so quickly. He must have prepared it long ago. But how could he trust me?"
As she spoke, she looked down at the red string bracelet around her waist.
Suddenly, his eyebrows jumped, "It's this!"
"The red string that Zhang Kui tied for me!"
The two looked at each other and immediately decided to go find Zhang Kui.
But when the two hurried to Zhang Kui's residence, he was nowhere to be found.
I walked around the street where Zhang Kui often appeared, but didn't see him.
Jiang Ningwan had a bad feeling in her heart, "Could something have happened to him?"
"We were targeted as soon as we left the government office. They should also know that we had contact with Zhang Kui."
But they didn't know what was written on the note, so they had to find Zhang Kui to find out.
But Zhang Kui just disappeared like that.
Jiang Ningwan had to gather people and try his best to track down Zhang Kui's whereabouts.
But at this time Xiao Fuxue also brought news.
"General, we've found the medicinal herbs you asked us to look for."
"In the past few days, among all the major clinics and pharmacies in Jincheng, the Xu family has used the most burn medicine."
"They bought a large amount of medicinal herbs from five different pharmacies. We estimated that the herbs were enough for at least five people."
"We also checked out the Xu family. They're in business, and they have over a dozen businesses in Jincheng alone."
"It's considered a big business in Jincheng."
"Especially the eldest daughter of their family. I heard she is very proficient in business."
"The Xu family used to be very humble, with countless debts and almost losing all their wealth. It was after this eldest daughter took charge of the Xu family's business that she managed to boost it back up."
"He is a powerful figure known to many people in Jincheng."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan asked, "What's the name of this eldest daughter of the Xu family?"
"Xu Qingqing."
Jiang Ningwan wrote down the name.
Then he looked at Qin Shuangchi, "It seems that the people on the first pleasure boat that night were from the Xu family. They are the target of Tianfengmen."
Jiang Ningwan then instructed Xiao Fuxue: "Find out who Qi Jishan and Qi Mo are."
Xiao Fuxue nodded in agreement.
Now that Zhang Kui cannot be found, it is very likely that he has met with an accident. I can only look up the two names on the note myself.
For a long time after that, Zhang Kui did not appear again.
The Oiran Contest at Mingyue Tower is about to begin.
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi arrived at Mingyue Tower early and brought enough banknotes.
She disguised herself as a man and was not discovered.
After dressing up as a man, she exuded a fierce aura, and the girls looked at her and didn't even dare to approach her.
But it also allows them to have peace of mind.
Once everyone in the building gathered, the Oiran competition began.
The booklets were distributed to everyone one by one, and Jiang Ningwan flipped through them carefully.
Not far away, upstairs, Qin Beihuang had just walked out of the room when he saw the two figures in the corner downstairs and was slightly startled.
How could Jiang Ningwan appear here!
At this time, Yan Qinglan walked out of the room and took his arm affectionately, "What are you looking at?"
"There are a lot of people here today." Qin Beihuang said in a cold tone, staring at Jiang Ningwan intently.
Yan Qinglan smiled and said, "Of course there are a lot of people at the Oiran Contest."
She looked at Qin Beihuang with a smile, but saw that his eyes were a little strange, something she had never seen before.
Following Qin Beihuang's gaze, there were two men sitting in the corner. They were elegant, dignified, and had picturesque features.
At this time, Jiang Ningwan also felt as if someone was staring at her. She raised her head and glanced upstairs.
But because there were so many gauze curtains, she did not see Qin Beihuang.
It was because she raised her eyes that Yan Qinglan's heart trembled. Those bright black eyes and clear and handsome face were captivating.
No wonder Qin Beihuang was staring at him.
But why was he staring at a man!
Although she had no reason to be jealous of a man, she still felt jealous when she saw the man's handsome face.
"Let's go. We have to go to the restaurant for an appointment."
Yan Qinglan hurriedly pulled Qin Beihuang away.
But after leaving Mingyue Tower, Qin Beihuang was always uneasy. She was always distracted when talking to him and her mind was never on her.
In the lively Mingyue Tower, after the singing and dancing, the voting for the top courtesan began. After Jiang Ningwan observed and understood the rules, he took out one thousand taels of silver notes and voted all for Xingyu.
There is no doubt that Xingyu was elected as the top courtesan.
Among the many guests who voted for Xingyu, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi were the most handsome, so they were chosen.
Soon, Xingyu came to them.
She said shyly, "My two lords, I'm really sorry, but Xingyu can only serve one lord per night, so..."
Xing Yu looked them both over, feeling somewhat intimidated by Jiang Ningwan's murderous aura, so she said, "If you're willing, could you please let last month's top courtesan, Narcissus, serve you for a night?"
Jiang Ningwan turned around and glanced at Qin Shuangchi.
Very tacit understanding.
If I just leave like this, it will easily arouse suspicion.
Jiang Ningwan had no choice but to agree, "Okay!"
Then Miss Narcissus came and led Jiang Ning to the pavilion on the right.
Xingyu led Qin Shuangchi to the pavilion on the left.
They quickly entered the room, and after the wine and food were served, only Jiang Ningwan and Shuixian were left in the room.
"Young Master, do you like listening to music or dancing? Narcissus can do both." Narcissus gently poured her a glass of wine.
Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "Let's listen to some music."
"What do you like to hear, sir?"
"It's all right."
Narcissus handed her a glass of wine and wanted to feed her. Jiang Ningwan subconsciously dodged backwards and took the glass.
Just as I was about to drink it, I smelled this.
It turns out that Qianqiu is drunk!
Seeing Narcissus stand up to play the piano, Jiang Ningwan slowly put down his wine glass without drinking a sip.
Drinking Qianqiuzui at this time can easily lead to mistakes.
Narcissus finished playing the song quickly. Jiang Ningwan was very happy and cheered for it, asking for another song.
I plan to just get through the night like this.
I can buy Qianqiuzui when it gets light, and then find out where it comes from.
But after playing a few songs, Narcissus was unhappy.
He stood up and walked over to Jiang Ningwan and sat down, leaning on her shoulder affectionately, "Young Master, why are you listening to music all the time and not drinking?"
As she spoke, she picked up the wine glass and was about to feed Jiang Ningwan.
Jiang Ningwan had no choice but to take a sip and exclaimed, "This wine is good!"
Narcissus continued to feed her, "This wine is the signature of our Mingyue Tower. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to."
"Sir, can you have another drink?"
Jiang Ningwan didn't dare drink anymore. She knew the power of Qianqiuzui, so she pushed it away and said, "I can't hold my alcohol well. If I drink any more, I'll get drunk."
Narcissus put down her wine glass and reached for Jiang Ningwan's waist in an ambiguous manner. "Since you don't like to drink, Narcissus will take care of you to rest?"
Jiang Ningwan's hair stood on end and she held her hand. "No hurry! This is my first time at Mingyue Tower, and I want to see the skills of the courtesan!"
Narcissus chuckled softly, and her restless hand gently tickled Jiang Ningwan's earlobe, breathing softly like orchids, she said, "My lord, you don't know that the skills of an Oiran are all in bed..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Narcissus's hand suddenly fell on her chest.
In just a moment, the expressions of both of them changed.
"You are a woman!"
