Chapter 935: Rescue (1)

The night was dark. There was only the sound of uniform footsteps and armor rubbing against each other as the patrol team walked past. Song Jingchen carefully avoided the patrols with the five Demon Guards and stopped at the back door of a residence called the Cherishing Flower Pavilion.
After knocking on the courtyard door, it opened a crack from the inside. A woman with heavy makeup stuck her head out and saw six men in black standing outside. Her expression changed. “You…”
Before she could finish, Song Jingchen took out a palm -sized token.
The moment she saw the token, the fear on the woman’s face immediately turned into respect. She quickly turned around and let Song Jingchen and the others in.
Although the three countries had always maintained peace, no one was a fool. They naturally planted spies among the other countries and established their intelligence systems.
On the surface, the Cherishing Flower Pavilion was a brothel, but in the end, all the information in the capital was sent back to Great Xia by the merchants here.
However, because of the recent chaos outside, the Cherishing Flower Pavilion did not have any guests now. Only the girls in the pavilion gathered in the hall to entertain themselves.
Seeing six unfamiliar men enter, the girls were silent for a moment. Just as they were about to welcome them, the woman leading the way waved her hand to dismiss them and brought Song Jingchen and the others to the third floor.
She walked to the door at the back and bowed. “Wait a moment.” With that, she raised her fair hand and knocked on the door. “Aunt, someone is here.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door creaked open and a tall and beautiful woman walked out. The woman didn’t look at anyone else. Her gaze swept up and down Song Jingchen for a moment before her eyes lit up and she pounced on him. “Brother Chen, I knew you would come.”
It was a simple sentence, but it sounded incredibly alluring when she said it. It made one’s bones go soft.
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. He pulled a Demon Guard beside him to block her.
The woman was shocked. It was too late for her to stop. She bumped into the arms of the Demon Guard and hit his mask with her forehead. It was so painful that she gasped.
She was not angry. Instead, she hammered the Demon Guard’s chest twice. “Oh my, you’re hurting me.”
The Demon Guard thought, ‘Who am I? Where am I?”
Song Jingchen held his forehead. “Rong Qj, I’m here for serious business today.”
“You’ve tricked me into coming here for so long. It’s rare for you to look for me.
Why are you so serious?” Rong Qi glared at him and pretended to be angry. “You’re really insensitive.”
At this point, she paused and pursed her lips as if she had thought of something. She chuckled. “I heard that you’re married. Oh my, with your personality, I don’t know how much cold treatment that little girl will receive. Why don’t you let me save her from the fire and water?”
Song Jingchen frowned and said coldly, “My wife is doing fine. You don’t have to worry about her. Also, speak properly.”
Surprise flashed across Rong Qi’s face. She thought that someone like Song Jingchen wouldn’t care about any woman. Indeed, nothing was absolute in this world.
She stopped teasing and cleared her throat. “Alright, I was just joking with you. I understand that you can’t bully a friend’s wife.”
As soon as she opened her mouth, the Demon Guards, who had been teased until their faces turned red, froze.
Rong Qi raised his eyebrows. “You seem to be very disappointed that I’m a man, but if you don’t mind, I can also…”
Song Jingchen’s face darkened. “Rong Qi!”
“Alright, alright. I’ll stop talking.” He raised his hands in surrender.
Very few people knew that the owner of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion was not
only a man, but he was also someone who had been rumored to be in the martial world for a period of time.
Unfortunately, before his reputation could rise, he met Song Jingchen. He was coaxed into losing a bet and became Great Xia’s spy in the Wu Kingdom.
Every time he thought of this, Rong Qi regretted it. He cherished women, who were as beautiful as flowers. Why couldn’t he figure it out and compete with Song Jingchen to see who knew more flowers?
Rong Qi seriously suspected that Song Jingchen was the one who had said that there was a beautiful woman in Chang’an back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have run all the way to Chang’an without seeing her. How could he have met this black-hearted person? He had even been deceived by him for ten years.
Thinking of this, Rong Qi glanced at Song Jingchen resentfully. It was all this kid’s fault for being so deceptive.
He would never admit that it was because he was too gullible when he first entered the martial world.
Song Jingchen ignored his gaze and walked around him into the room.
Rong Qi pursed his lips and waved his hand to signal the woman leading the way to retreat. He winked at the Demon Guard..
