The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 490
Gaozhou City is not much different from most cities in the south.

The man from the Chu Pavilion led them all the way through the streets and alleys. Although it was the twelfth lunar month, it was still warm like spring. Hibiscus, which is rare in the north, was blooming here, and there were also colorful flowers that climbed walls and vines, even if they were raised in Tianyuan After so many years, she still has many things she can't name.

Compared with the chaos of war outside the city, this place is in order, completely different from the outside world.

"No wonder so many refugees want to come in, this is really a great place." Qin Wan looked at the street scene and said to himself.

They entered the Chu Pavilion through the back door. The yard was small, a small two-story building, and the walls were covered with plants, lush and lush.Huge plantains are planted beside the road, and under the trees are various colorful flowers that can only be found in the south.

The man from the Chu Pavilion untied Qin Wan's hands from the rope, and said apologetically, "Madam, I had to bring you in because there were so many people on the road. Please be considerate."

Qin Wan rubbed his wrist: "It's okay."

"The little one is named Shi Li, you can call me Ali," the man introduced Qin Wan courteously as he led Qin Wan to the VIP room, "This Chu Pavilion is the property of His Majesty Ning Emperor, and it will be handed over to An Yousi Independently operated, it is the most important intelligence liaison place in South Vietnam."

Suddenly hearing Ning Yi's name from Ali with a strong southern accent, Qin Wan felt a little uncomfortable: "As an intelligence officer, you actually explained it so clearly to me."

Ali smiled obsequiously: "You are different from others. All of us in Anyousi only recognize you as the master. At this time, His Majesty Ning's will is also the headline rule of Anyousi. Those who forget it will not be able to see tomorrow sun."

Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, she didn't know when Ning Yi would settle this matter, but she felt warm and painful in her heart, with mixed feelings.

Coming to the deepest VIP room on the second floor, different from the gorgeous decoration outside, the decoration here is elegant and simple, with light tea-green walls, cypress wood floors, and willow wood furniture, making people feel comfortable.There is a small white long plate on the coffee table, on which a small sapling of thin bamboo is planted.Next to it is an incense burner, with a touch of sandalwood.

Ali invites Qin Wan to sit down, and the maid brings refreshments and fruits.

"Ma'am, Lie Sijian said that your trip is to meet the head of the Shitang clan, Shi Zhongxing, the leader of the Hundred Tribes of Nanyue. It just so happens that tonight, the clan leader is going to have a banquet for the leaders of several tribes at the Fragrant Torreya Pavilion in Nancheng. I think this is an excellent opportunity." ’” Ali said.

Qin Wan: "How do I enter this banquet?"

A Li: "A Li has a bold suggestion, please forgive me after hearing it. This banquet, Liu Yan, the oiran of the Chu Pavilion, is going to perform. You can pretend to be a singer and accompany you."

Qin Wan: "Okay, I understand."

Ali: "I understand, you are exhausted from the journey, please rest first, and I will let the maid come to dress you up before nightfall."

Qin Wan nodded.

After Ali left, Qin Wan walked to the window and gently pushed it open. Looking at the street scene and the crowd, he sighed silently.

According to the Leizhou intelligence received by Liexiu, Hou Lu's breakthrough to the north was blocked, and she was determined to occupy the entire Danzhou Island first, and the most important hurdle before attacking Danzhou Island was Qucheng.Hou Lu's army was pressing towards Qucheng, while the Danzhou army was defending with all its strength, and Xun Che was in the forward line of Xuwen's battalion.It will take some time for the troops from Xishu to trek to the southeast, and Tian Chen also sent a message but there is no reply.Thinking of this, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and even breathing became difficult to calm down.

The battle to defend the city will become more difficult day by day.

She must do her best to obtain the military strength of the South Vietnam Hundred Division, and join forces with Tian Chen Jiyan's troops to attack together.

so difficult...

Qin Wan frowned and lowered her head, suddenly felt a gaze on her.

She reflexively looked down from the window, and there was a woman dressed in Shitangbu on the street looking up at her in a daze.

The woman was about 20 years old, with a refreshing and heroic appearance, her hair was tied into a ball, and a bright hibiscus was pinned on it.She looked at Qin Wan with a surprised and inquiring expression.

When Qin Wan met her eyes, the girl immediately averted her eyes and walked away with her head down.

Qin Wan thought about it, she had never been to Lingnan, nor had she met anyone from the South Vietnam Department, so she definitely didn't know this girl,

"Maybe it's the wrong person." Qin Wan didn't care, so she left the window and lay down on the floppy bed to rest with her eyes closed.

At dusk, Ali brought his maid to dress Qin Wan.

Although she is not an oiran, she is wearing the clothes of the top oiran in the Chu Pavilion.

Qin Wan looked at the outfit and frowned slightly. Normally, she would never dress up so cumbersomely, but today she must be bright and eye-catching, so that the chief of the Shitang Department will notice her.

"Madam, don't worry, our people have already arranged all around the Torreya Pavilion to ensure your safety," Ali said.

Qin Wan nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. She sat in front of the mirror and waited quietly for the maids to comb her hair and eyebrows.

As the sun was setting, Qin Wan, who had been dressed up, looked at herself in the mirror, not daring to recognize her.So gorgeous, slightly seductive, and paired with Lingnan-style dresses, it looks very beautiful.

Chu Guan's carriage stopped in front of the door, Liu Yan was in front, and seven or eight girls boarded the carriage behind.

Qin Wan sat alone in another carriage.

The car moved slowly, passing through the north and south of the city, and finally arrived at the Fragrant Torreya Pavilion in Nancheng.

"Madam, Ali's ability is limited, so I can only send you here. Liu Yan will be responsible for taking you into the backstage and sending you to the main banquet. But once you arrive at the banquet, you need to follow your plan..."

"Well, I understand." Qin Wan understood Ali's meaning, they could only arrange for her to meet Shi Zhongxing, and she had to decide how to ask him to send troops.

In fact, I haven't thought about what to say until now.But Xun Che was trapped in Qucheng, she didn't have time to think too much, let alone a chance to plan well.

Qin Wan never cared about his luck.But now she really needs the blessing of luck, so that she can seek the help of Baiyue's various ministries to save Qucheng.

Qin Wan followed Liu Yan into the backstage of the Fragrant Torreya Pavilion. The girls were sitting and getting ready to go on stage, chirping this, making the small room seem crowded and noisy.Qin Wan was depressed, walked out of the room, knelt and sat by the corridor, looked at the flowers and plants in the small courtyard, closed her eyes and thought about what to do for a while.

Should he attract Shi Zhongxing's attention first or directly reveal his identity to get straight to the point.

do not know.

She really doesn't know.

Unable to think of a way, Qin Wan frowned.

At this time Liu Yan came over with a piano in her arms and asked Qin Wan: "Madam, what show will you perform later, Liu Yan can accompany Madam."

Qin Wan looked at the qin that he had never seen before. It was in the shape of a three-stringed plum blossom, and the head of the qin was also a plum blossom, so he asked curiously, "What kind of qin is this?"

"This is called Qinqin. It's a commonly used musical instrument in our south of the Five Ridges. The strings are light and pleasant to the ear." After speaking, Liu Yan sat down generously beside Qin Wan, and began to play with a smile.

The sound of the piano was just as Liu Yan said, easy and pleasant, yet powerful, which made Qin Wan, who was still tense just now, relax a little.

The oiran is indeed an oiran, whether it is skill or the ability to observe words and demeanor, they are all admirable.

The sound of Liu Yanqin was loud and cheerful, and quickly attracted the attention of everyone around. Even the servants of the Fragrant Torreya Pavilion stopped to appreciate it.After all, who wouldn't want to hear Gaozhou Huakuan play a song for free.

At this time, the guests in the front hall were also attracted by the sound of the piano.

All eyes were on Liu Yan, but Qin Wan felt that someone was watching her.

She turned her head to look, and unexpectedly saw the woman outside the window of the Chu Pavilion in the crowd.At this time, she was wearing men's clothes, dressed up like a young man from Nanyue, and looked at Qin Wan with that surprised and probing look.

When Qin Wan was about to stand up and walk towards her, she suddenly averted her gaze, withdrew from the crowd and left.
