Since the large army moved slowly, Xiao Feng specially asked his butler Lai Fu to bring some servants to Xinzheng City in advance and let them set up some properties here.
Xiao Feng accompanied Jingwei and the others in a carriage, and followed the large army slowly to Xinzheng City.
By the time Xiao Feng and his companions arrived in Xinzheng City, Lai Fu had already brought people to take care of everything here, and they only needed to move directly into the Xiao Mansion.
After Lai Fu welcomed Xiao Feng and the others into the Xiao Mansion, he first arranged for four young maids to take Jingwei and Xiao Yaner to the backyard to rest, and then took Xiao Feng to the study and reported to him about the acquisition of the property.
"Good, you deserve a reward!"
After listening to Lai Fu's report, Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction, took out a white jade pill bottle and placed it on the desk: "This bottle contains the antidote for the bone-rotting powder, which can prevent it from attacking for half a year. In addition, I will reward you with 100 gold coins, you can go to the warehouse to pick it up yourself!"
"Thank you for the reward, sir."
Upon hearing this, Lai Fu immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Because Lai Fu and the others were newly purchased slaves by Xiao Feng, and not the kind of servants who had been raised at home, their loyalty to Xiao Feng was limited.
If Xiao Feng hadn't deliberately given Lai Fu and the others a chronic poison, they would have absconded with the money long ago. How could they have obediently come to Xinzheng City to buy property?
"Okay, if there's nothing else, just leave first!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Lai Fu bowed to Xiao Feng and left with a respectful look on his face.
…
The golden crow sets in the west, and the bright rabbit rises in the east.
"Da da da…"
As night slowly fell, a luxurious carriage drove out of the Xiao Mansion and headed towards Zilanxuan.
Zilanxuan is the most famous brothel in Xinzheng City, and it is also one of the most important strongholds for the protagonists of the original novel.
This time, Xiao Feng went to Zilanxuan just to see if he could trigger any new tasks, not because he wanted to listen to music in a brothel or play with flowers and jade.
"Please come in, sir~"
"Young Master looks a little unfamiliar, is this your first time visiting our Zi Lan Xuan..."
As soon as Xiao Feng got off the carriage, two beautiful women, dressed gorgeously and coolly, hugged his arms from both sides and half-pulled and half-pushed him into Zi Lan Xuan.
"My surname is Xiao. I just arrived in Xinzheng City today. I heard that you have a lot of fun here. Is that true?"
While dealing with the two beauties' indirect questions, Xiao Feng secretly observed the situation inside Zi Lan Xuan.
Compared to the Zi Lan Xuan in the anime, the Zi Lan Xuan in front of Xiao Feng is not only more luxuriously decorated, but the number of maids has also increased several times.
After all, Zilanxuan is the largest entertainment venue in Xinzheng City. Every night, there are at least eighty, if not hundreds, of dignitaries who come here to seek pleasure.
Even if each guest is equipped with only one maid, the number of maids in Zilanxuan will exceed a hundred.
What's more, many guests need to be accompanied by several maids, so the total number of maids in Zilanxuan is as many as hundreds.
"Of course it's true, Mr. Xiao, we have a lot of fun things in Zi Lan Xuan..."
Two beautiful maids introduced Xiao Feng to the various entertainment activities in Zilanxuan and led him to the private room on the second floor.
The maids who were able to work in Zilanxuan naturally had good eyesight. With just a glance at Xiao Feng, they could tell whether he was really rich or just pretending to be rich.
Not to mention other things, the jade pendant Xiao Feng wears around his waist alone is worth at least a thousand gold coins.
Therefore, the two maids silently labeled Xiao Feng as a rich young man in their hearts, and of course they had to provide the most expensive services.
After Xiao Feng entered the private room and sat down, two maids immediately handed him something similar to a menu, which recorded the various consumption items of Zilanxuan.
A more upscale brothel like Zilanxuan certainly doesn't just offer simple escort services, there are also many other entertainment activities, such as singing and dancing performances, playing the piano and music, reciting poems and composing couplets, etc.
Although the maids in Zilanxuan are very beautiful and can be considered one in a million beauties, they seem a little too pretty compared to a stunning beauty like Jingwei.
Moreover, Xiao Feng had no habit of driving the bus and was too lazy to waste his energy on those ordinary maids.
Xiao Feng glanced at the entertainment items and finally ordered the most expensive performance by the top-notch zither player, as well as a table of delicious food and drinks.
"Da da da…"
Not long after Xiao Feng chose his entertainment, a sound of light footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a group of maids carrying food and drinks and walked into the private room where he was.
Soon, the table in front of Xiao Feng was filled with various exquisitely shaped foods and snacks, as well as a pot of wine.
"Please enjoy your meal, sir~"
After the maids had arranged the food and drinks, they all bowed slightly to Xiao Feng in unison, and then left with the fragrance of the wind.
Seeing this, the maid who was in charge of serving Xiao Feng poured him a glass of wine with a smile and started chatting with him.
After nearly a cup of tea, a long-haired beauty with a graceful figure and pure temperament walked in from the door holding a guqin.
Although this woman's appearance is not as good as Jingwei's, she is not inferior to him. She is the top zither player of Zi Lan Xuan - Nong Yu!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for contacting the plot character 'Nong Yu', triggering a random projection task - Beauty but Fate!"
Just as Xiao Feng's attention was attracted by Nong Yu, the system prompt sounded in his ears again.
"Ding! Mission content: Change the fate of Nong Yu's suicide by taking poison. Mission reward: An extra chance to draw a lottery."
When Xiao Feng heard this, his expression changed slightly, and the plot of "Birdsong in the Empty Mountain" emerged in his mind.
According to the development of the original plot, Nongyu will later join the Liusha organization created by Han Fei and others, and after failing to assassinate Ji Wuye, she chooses to commit suicide by taking poison.
What makes people feel the most sad is that Nanyue was clearly rescued by Baifeng at all costs, even Mo Ya was sacrificed, but it was discovered that she had taken poison in advance.
It is actually very simple to change Nanyue's fate of committing suicide by taking poison. Xiao Feng instantly thought of two ways.
The first way is to kill Ji Wuye. As long as he is dead, Nongyu will not have to carry out the task of assassinating him, and there will be no need for her to commit suicide by taking poison.
The second way is to kill Nong Yu. As long as Xiao Feng kills her before she takes poison, she will naturally not be able to commit suicide.
It is said that in the past life, the police in the United States often used the second method and successfully reduced the suicide rate in the United States.
