The commander-in-chief of the imperial guards of Daliang Palace, Meng Zhi.

The Meng family has been a prominent family since the founding of Daliang. They followed Daliang Taizu to conquer the country and were loyal supporters of successive emperors of Daliang. The heirs of the Meng family in every generation would hold high positions and were very famous in the Daliang military.

Meng Zhi is the current head of the Meng family. He is also the second-ranked master on the Langya Master List, the second best in the world.

The opponent was Meng Zhi, so it was no surprise that he could easily resolve his palm attack.

When Zhou Chen confronted Meng Zhi, Meng Zhi was looking at Zhou Chen with sharp eyes. He was also surprised by the palm strike just now. He was the first to attack, but the opponent counterattacked and blocked his palm strike easily.

But when he saw the ferocious and devil-like Rakshasa mask on Zhou Chen's face, he was even more frightened.

"Rakshasa, you are the deputy leader of Jiangzuo League, Rakshasa."

Zhou Chen lowered his voice and said solemnly: "I'm sorry for disturbing Commander Meng."

Meng Zhi had a strange expression on his face, and suddenly asked, "Did he ask you to come find me?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

Seeing that the lights were on in Meng Zhi's mansion below, Zhou Chen had no desire to fight with Meng Zhi again. He left a word, moved his legs, mobilized his internal strength, and used light skills to quickly disappear from Meng Zhi's sight.

Meng Zhi did not pursue him. Since the other party was the deputy leader of Jiangzuo League, he was not an enemy. But he was very confused. How could Rakshasa suddenly appear here?

"Who on earth is this Luosha? His martial arts skills have reached this level. No wonder Xiaoshu dared to come to Jinling City alone. But even with Luosha's protection, Jinling City is still a dangerous place. No, I must find a chance to ask him."

Chapter 825 Miaoyinfang, Gong Yu's True Heart

Zhou Chen was also very surprised to run into Meng Zhi unexpectedly. He was distracted just now and did not notice that he passed by Meng's Mansion.

Meng Zhi is different from others. He is the second best master on the Langya Master List. It is normal for him to be discovered when he passed through his mansion without any disguise.

Under normal circumstances, he would be interested in exchanging a few moves with Meng Zhi, but the situation and environment just now were not very good, so he separated from him and left quickly.

Meng Zhi also stood on Mei Changsu's side, and he was not worried at all that Meng Zhi would sell him out.

It was almost midnight when Zhou Chen finally arrived at his destination, a street in Jinling City's famous 'red-light district'. Miaoyinfang was one of the most high-end brothels in Jinling City, so it was naturally very easy to find it.

Although it was almost midnight, Miaoyinfang was still quite lively.

Compared with modern society, there are really few forms of entertainment in this era. Brothels are one of the most popular forms of entertainment, followed by hunting, picnicking, etc., which are basically for rich people and have nothing to do with ordinary people.

There are also casinos, but casinos cannot be opened openly outside like brothels. They are opened secretly, but the traffic and popularity are obviously not comparable to those of brothels.

Zhou Chen took off his mask and threw away the robe he was wearing outside, revealing the gorgeous clothes underneath. He walked out of the dark alley, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door of Miaoyinfang with a relaxed look on his face.

"Sir, you are here, please come in!"

When the servant at the door saw Zhou Chen, he immediately came up to him with laughter, bowed and saluted with a very respectful attitude, which really made people feel superior.

Zhou Chen did not put on airs. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the servant.

The servant took the silver very swiftly, grinned exaggeratedly, and complimented loudly: "Thank you for the reward, thank you for the reward, please come in."

Although most of the people who came to Miaoyinfang were dignitaries, ninety-nine out of ten people would not pay more attention to these little servants, and even fewer people would give tips.

It’s not that the customers are reluctant or stingy. How many people who can come to Miaoyinfang are poor?

But they didn’t take these servants seriously at all. Wouldn’t it be better to use the money to reward the girls?

Zhou Chen was just acting out of habit, and with the flattery of the servant, he walked into Miaoyinfang.

As soon as he entered, he saw the bustling lobby. There were many guests sitting in the lobby on the first floor. He just took a quick glance and lost interest.

Soon, a woman in her thirties, with a little makeup on, came up to her with a smile on her face.

"Sir, you are here, are there any girls you know?"

Zhou Chen glanced at the woman who should be the madam. She didn't know whether this woman was a spy of the Jiangzuo League.

"I am familiar with Miss Gong Yu from your Miaoyinfang. Could you arrange for me to meet her?"

The madam's expression froze. She didn't expect that this rather unfamiliar young man would actually go looking for Miss Gong Yu right away.

But she soon smiled and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, sir. Miss Gong Yu is not feeling well today. She can't see guests or play. Sir, you should find someone else. We have many girls who are good at music in Miaoyinfang, such as..."

Zhou Chen didn't wait for her to continue, and said again: "Go and tell Miss Gong Yu that my last name is Chen and I'm from Feiyu Courtyard. She will meet me."

"This..." The madam looked embarrassed.

Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a cold tone: "What? Can't you even pass on a message?"

The madam was startled. This seemingly kind young man had a cold face, which was really scary. So she immediately replied, "Young master, please sit down first. I will pass on the message."

The madam called someone over and asked Zhou Chen to sit down, then she went upstairs quickly. After a while, she arrived at Gong Yu's residence and knocked gently on the door.

"girl."

"Come in."

The madam pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Gong Yu wiping his guqin.

Gong Yu saw the madam come in and asked, "Auntie Hong, is there anything wrong?"

"Girl, there is a young man outside. He looks unfamiliar to me and it should be his first time here. He said he knows you and wants to meet you."

Gong Yu looked surprised, she had many acquaintances, but it was strange to say that this young man who came for the first time was her acquaintance.

"Did he say anything else?"

"He said his last name was Chen and he was from Feiyu Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu stood up suddenly and even knocked over the guqin in front of her. This guqin was her favorite one, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she asked questions to Aunt Hong nervously.

"He, he really said that?"

Aunt Hong was very surprised, as she had never seen Gong Yu so panicked before.

"Yes, that's what he said."

Gong Yu suddenly became even more panicked and didn't know where to put his hands.

"Quick, take me to see him."

Aunt Hong was shocked: "Girl, this is not good."

What she meant was that Gong Yu shouldn't go downstairs to meet people, but Gong Yu misunderstood her meaning.

Gong Yu immediately looked down at her clothes, then quickly took the bronze mirror next to her and looked at herself. She seemed very dissatisfied with her outfit.

"Yes, I'm in such a bad state, Aunt Hong, go and bring him over."

"Bring him to you, young lady?" Aunt Hong was even more puzzled. Who was that young man and why did he make Gong Yu so nervous?

"Yes, Aunt Hong, please go over quickly. Don't keep him waiting for too long. I'll clean up the room first."

Aunt Hong was pushed out of the house by Gong Yu with a confused look on her face. She began to wonder who the young man downstairs was that made Gong Yu lose his composure like this. At the same time, she was thinking whether she should tell Mr. Thirteen first. After all, all of them were under Mr. Thirteen's management.

But thinking that Mr. Thirteen had gone out not long ago and had not come back yet, there was no way to tell him, so he could only follow Gong Yu's instructions and go downstairs to bring Zhou Chen.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Gong Yu invites you."

Zhou Chen followed Aunt Hong upstairs. When passing by a half-open private room, he happened to see the situation inside and a smile appeared on his face.

He was an acquaintance. He had seen him many times when he was a child. He was the prince in the past and the Prince Ji today.

To be honest, if we were to say who is the smartest, most transparent and most comfortable person in the entire drama of Nirvana in Fire, Prince Ji would definitely be one of them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Prince Ji is definitely the object of admiration of countless people in modern society. He has truly achieved the level of Prince Xiaoyao and is a role model for countless princes.

He is very wise and knows when to advance and retreat. In front of the suspicious Emperor Liang, he can not only protect himself, but also help many people in need to the best of his ability.

He clearly knew that he was being used, but he was still willing to be used.

If it weren't for Prince Ji's cooperation, many of Mei Changsu's plans would probably be difficult to implement.

The most important thing is that he deceived almost everyone, and in the end, only Mei Changsu noticed it.

Considering Prince Ji's personality and hobbies, it was only natural for him to appear in Miaoyinfang.

Born in the royal family, if Prince Ji had no intention of becoming emperor, his life would actually be the most comfortable.

Although there was music coming from upstairs, it was obviously much quieter than downstairs. As Zhou Chen followed behind Aunt Hong, the places they passed by became increasingly quiet, until they arrived at a door, where Aunt Hong stopped.

"Miss Gong Yu is inside, Master Chen, I'll take her there, please."

After saying that, she twisted her body and walked away slowly.

Zhou Chen stood in front of the door and knocked gently.

Gong Yu was still looking at herself in the mirror in the room. When she heard the knock on the door, she was surprised but also quite panicked.

She hadn't seen Zhou Chen for three years and missed him all the time. Now that she could really see Zhou Chen, she felt very uneasy.

But she still took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the door, and gently opened it.

The next moment, she saw the person she had been thinking about.

Seeing Gong Yu staring at him blankly without saying anything, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said softly, "Are you not going to let me in, or are you going to talk to me at the door?"

Gong Yu reacted, her face slightly flushed, and she immediately said, "Sir, please come in."

He led Zhou Chen into the room, then pointed to the recliner next to him and said, "Sir, please sit down."

Zhou Chen looked surprised: "You also prepared a recliner here?"

Gong Yu whispered, "I thought that you would come to Jinling sooner or later, so I prepared it, so that if you come to my place, you can use it."

In fact, she also likes to lie on this recliner, because it was invented by Zhou Chen. Lying on it, she feels closer to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and sat down on the recliner. He leaned back and felt very comfortable.

Gong Yu poured tea for Zhou Chen and asked softly, "Young Master, when did you arrive in Jinling? Have you met the Sect Master?"

"I just entered the city a few hours ago and have already met Xiao Shu. It's not easy for him to stay there, so I came to find you."

After hearing this, Gong Yu felt as happy as if her heart was filled with honey.

"Sir, my place is very convenient. You can stay as long as you want."

"That's good. I was afraid you would dislike me."

"Gong Yu will never dislike you, sir."

Hearing Gong Yu's muttering, Zhou Chen looked at her seriously, suddenly smiled, took the teacup handed to him by Gong Yu, took a sip and placed it on the table next to him.

"Gong Yu, for our plan, we asked you to continue staying in this romantic place. We are sorry for inconvenience you."

Gong Yu shook his head and said, "No, I didn't feel wronged. I grew up in such an environment. For revenge, I don't feel wronged at all."

"How can I not feel wronged? For a girl, reputation is really important."

This is not more than a thousand years later. In this era, both men and women cherish their reputation, especially women. If their reputation is ruined, their whole life will be ruined.

Women who go to brothels to make a living are basically desperate or forced. Most of them no longer dare to think about the future. Their best way out is to meet a good man who can redeem them and take them back to be concubines. But even this is often the only luxury that most women in brothels can hope for.

Therefore, even if a woman in a brothel sells her art but not her body, she will still be looked down upon if she goes outside.

As the top performer of Miaoyinfang, Gong Yu has been in Jinling City for so many years that her reputation has spread far and wide. Even though many people admire her, she can never get rid of her identity as a prostitute, unless she changes her name and goes to an unfamiliar place.

However, Gong Yu was very open-minded: "As long as you don't dislike me or look down on me, I really don't care."

Seeing Gong Yu like this, Zhou Chen felt pity in his heart. Before coming to Jinling City, he had already made a decision that if Gong Yu was willing to accept him, he would not let Gong Yu down.

So he stood up and stood in front of Gong Yu. People of this era were generally not tall, and Zhou Chen's height of nearly 1.8 meters was already outstanding.

Gong Yu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he has a very good figure, but he is only about 1.65 meters tall. However, when standing next to Zhou Chen, he and he are a very good match.

Gong Yu was startled by Zhou Chen's sudden approach, but she did not retreat and still stood where she was.

"Gong Yu, I understand your feelings. You are a very good girl. If you say that I don't like you at all, you are lying to yourself. But do you know why I have never responded to you?"

Gong Yu was so happy when she heard Zhou Chen confess in person that he liked her. But the next sentence made her worried again.

Zhou Chen gave the answer before Gong Yu asked.

"You have been a member of the Jiangzuo League for seven years."

"Well, it was the young master who recruited me in the beginning."

"Yeah, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You must have been scared when you saw my scary Rakshasa mask."

Gong Yu smiled and said, "I was indeed very scared at that time, but compared to that scary mask, you are actually the best and kindest person in the world."

She didn't say this as a compliment, she meant it sincerely.
