Chapter 72 Three People Want to Be the Best (Thanks to the Book Friend Wujiecao001 for the Reward)
Xu Bai saw the embarrassed expressions of Liu Xu and Wu Hua, and guessed that this person was not ordinary, otherwise they would not be so cautious.
Sheng County is small, and Chunyu Pavilion is a place of entertainment, but there is a character that Qingyun Academy and Jingang Temple are afraid of. It seems that not only is he not ordinary, but he is also bigger than these two.
"If you want to go to Chunyu Pavilion to investigate, you have to be careful of one person. She is the Ninth Princess of the Great Chu Kingdom." Liu Xu explained: "In the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom, the Ninth Princess is the least favored one, so she does not participate in the royal family struggle, but focuses on doing business."
"The business is very extensive, not just Chunyu Pavilion. This so-called Chunyu Pavilion is just one of the businesses of the Ninth Princess." Wu Hua added: "We must investigate. His Majesty once said that if the Ninth Princess violates the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom, she will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, but we cannot investigate it openly."
Xu Bai heard this, touched his chin, and fell into deep thought.
Frustrated princess, open a brothel?
It's just one of the industries. It seems that the scope involved is very broad.
Something.
In Xu Bai's mind, there is no such thing as disappointment or not. The princess is the princess.
A member of the royal family is the face of the emperor.
What's more, it involves a lot of business. If this is done under the nose of the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom, then there is something to say.
Collecting money?
Very likely.
"Maybe this matter has nothing to do with the Ninth Princess, but there must be something wrong with Chunyu Pavilion, especially Sheng County." Wuhua clasped his hands together and added.
This statement is very likely.
Who is the Ninth Princess?
The royal family of the great motherland needs to be connected with the so-called Jisheng Sect?
That's too cheap and too bold.
The Ninth Princess dare not do anything to anger the emperor. Even if you are the emperor's daughter, the emperor will kill you.
How can there be any feelings in the emperor's family?
So Wuhua thought that this matter might be a problem with Chunyu Pavilion in Sheng County.
"Since we can't investigate it openly, we can just spy on it secretly." Xu Bai said.
As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Xu and Wu Hua turned their eyes and looked at Xu Bai, with doubt in their eyes.
Spy, how to spy?
Could it be that they disguised themselves, put on night clothes, and sneaked into Chunyu Pavilion when the moon was dark and the wind was high?
Not to mention whether there was a possibility of being discovered, if they were really discovered, it would be very easy to alert the enemy.
Thinking of this, Liu Xu asked the doubts in his heart.
Xu Bai made a look of disappointment: "That is Chunyu Pavilion, a place that men yearn for. Why should we wear night clothes? We can be a guest and go in to play while finding useful clues."
As the saying goes, those who are involved are confused, and those who are on the sidelines are clear. Liu Xu is a woman, and Wu Hua is a monk. Naturally, the two did not think of this method.
Xu Bai is a normal man, but he sees it very clearly.
"The place of fireworks, I am a woman... this..." Liu Xu was in trouble, with a star-like eyes, with a hint of awkwardness.
Although the children of the rivers and lakes are not obsessed with details, this matter is a bit beyond the scope in the customs of the Great Chu State.
There are also cases where scholars visit places of entertainment, and they call it romantic but not vulgar, but she is a woman.
"Why don't you dress yourself up as a man? This is an emergency, and we must act in a special way." Xu Bai provoked him: "No way? You are not that kind of pedantic scholar, right?"
After this provocation, Liu Xu immediately glared at Xu Bai.
"Dress up, I've dressed up as a man before."
Liu Xu managed it, but Wu Hua looked embarrassed, as if letting him visit places of entertainment was a death sentence.
"Doesn't the Vajra Temple advocate entering the world of mortals? Don't you dare to enter this world of mortals?" Xu Bai said.
Wu Hua sighed: "Donor, you don't know, my master once said that the most difficult thing in this world of mortals is the love between men and women, so I always keep a sufficient distance, and I dare not touch it unless I am 100% sure."
Of course, he lied in this sentence.
He is afraid of love between men and women, and there are more other reasons.
Ever since he entered the Vajra Temple when he was a child, his master has been passing on a truth to him.
The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger, and the so-called love will eat the monk.
As we all know, when an idea is conveyed from childhood, it will take root in people's hearts and it is difficult to pull it out of their hearts.
Wuhua is in this state of mind at the moment.
"If you are afraid, don't go." Xu Bai said concisely.
"Donor, the provocation method has no effect on me. Since you insist that I am afraid, I will go there." Wuhua said expressionlessly.
——《The provocation method has no effect》.
Xu Bai clapped his hands, making a snap, and said: "Then everyone go and disguise yourself."
"What about you?" Liu Xu glanced at Xu Bai.
"I can't." Xu Bai said very straightforwardly: "After you finish, I will see who does it well, and then help me."
Liu Xu: "..."
Although they didn't know why they were provoked by Xu Bai inexplicably, Liu Xu and Wuhua still went to prepare.
Liu Xu left the house and prepared to go to her room. Before she left, Xu Bai gestured to her, which almost made her twist her leg.
At that time, Xu Bai gestured on his chest and added.
"When a woman disguises herself as a man, she must pay attention to details."
This reminded her of what happened that night.
"She acted as if she knew everything, but she was a novice in disguise."
Liu Xu said something disrespectful and left with gritted teeth.
Wuhua was very simple. He took out a wig from his clothes, put it on his head, and added some beard to himself, making him look several years older.
Finally, he turned the monk's robe over and put it on again.
After the monk's robe was turned over, it turned blue-black and the style changed.
"Fortunately, when I left, my master once said that I must be careful about the tricks in the world, and disguise is the first lesson." Wuhua said slowly.
Xu Bai gently rubbed the handle of the ghost-head knife with his fingers and said: "I am more and more interested in your Vajra Temple now."
This teaching method is very good and very suitable for survival in the world.
"If there is a fate, I will invite you to the Vajra Temple to talk about Buddhist scriptures all night." Wuhua bowed.
"Wasn't those days painful enough?" Xu Bai meant something.
Wuhua was choked by these words. Thinking back to the days when he explained Buddhist scriptures to Xu Bai, it was really painful.
As the saying goes, those who play the lute to a cow are tormented.
"Donor, even if it gets worse, as long as you devote yourself to Buddhism, you can still make great achievements." Wuhua felt that he still had to comfort him.
He couldn't discourage a person's enthusiasm, especially a person who devoted himself to Buddhism.
"We'll see later." Xu Bai waved his hand and said.
Just as the two were chatting, Liu Xu, who was dressed in disguise, pushed the door open.
Xu Bai heard the voice, turned his head, and found that the person standing at the door had changed his temperament.
