Chapter 56 The Lady of the South China Sea Invites You!
Liangzhou!
Gu Yu mingled with a caravan of merchants from the Western Regions and entered the city.
I thought this trip would be kept quiet and unknown to anyone.
Unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door as soon as I checked into the inn that night.
Gu Yu assumed it was a waiter bringing hot water and went to open the door.
However, a burly man stood outside the door, looking like someone who had been traveling the world for many years.
Gu Yu frowned and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?"
The man smiled and said, "Brother, may we talk inside?"
Gu Yu looked the other person up and down a few times, then finally turned to the side and said, "Come in."
Thank you!
The other party made a polite remark and then went into the guest room.
Gu Yu closed the door and said to the other person, "You must be someone from the government."
"Oh? How did Young Master Gu know that?"
Judging from the way they addressed him, one could tell that the other party had come prepared and knew Gu Yu's background.
"Intuition! If I'm not mistaken, you must be from the Six Doors."
The other party smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Young Master Gu is indeed impressive! My surname is Fang, and I am a constable from the Six Doors. You can call me Chu Wu."
"Your surname is Fang? And Chief Constable Fang is...?"
"It is indeed my father!"
"I see! So you came here to secretly investigate the Prince of Liang?"
Chu Wu nodded: "That's right. Last time, my father asked Young Hero Gu to inquire about the Demonic Sect through Senior Sun. How did it go?"
"Sit down and talk slowly."
The two sat down at a small table together, and Gu Yu relayed Hua Baifeng's account of the situation in detail.
After listening, Chu Wu sighed, "Indeed, this matter is quite complicated, involving too many forces. The Liang King, the Demonic Sect, the Jurchens, and the martial arts world, including some border generals who have also been secretly bribed."
"Since you all know this, why don't you close the net?"
Chu Wu shook his head: "I know, but the Prince of Liang is very cunning, and it will be difficult to find evidence to kill him. If we act without a legitimate reason, the court will be in a very passive position."
Gu Yu laughed and said, "In the end, we still don't have the strength to completely overwhelm them. If we push the Prince of Liang too far and he joins forces with the Jurchens and the Demonic Sect regardless of everything, the imperial court will be in serious trouble."
Chu Wu looked somewhat embarrassed.
But that's exactly the situation.
After hesitating for a moment, Chuwu stood up, took a step back, and then bowed.
"Officer Fang, what are you doing?"
"I humbly request that you, Young Master Gu, do me a favor."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu quickly waved his hand: "Stop! Officer Fang, I am a man of the martial world and have no desire to get involved in court affairs. I have already told you about the Demonic Sect, so please leave."
"But……"
"Officer Fang, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Chu Wu sighed deeply, "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. Farewell!"
The following morning, Gu Yu began to stroll around Liangzhou City.
As a former capital of six dynasties and the capital of Northwest China, it boasts both the prosperity of the Central Plains and the exotic charm of other regions.
Commoners, scholars, merchants, monks, Taoists, people of different ethnicities, people from the martial arts world... all kinds of people gathered in this city.
As the afternoon wore on, Gu Yu was preparing to find a small Hu-style tavern to have a drink.
A horse-drawn carriage slowly pulled up beside him.
A woman dressed in white jumped out of the car, walked up to Gu Yu, and asked, "Excuse me, are you Young Master Gu?"
"Uh? Which Young Master Gu are you looking for?"
The woman smiled: "A romantic swordsman!"
Gu Yu sighed and said, "I thought no one knew I had come to Liangzhou."
"Young Master Gu, if it's convenient, my master would like to invite you in!"
Who is the owner of your house?
"Lady of the South China Sea!"
Gu Yu felt that he had an extraordinary connection with the four princesses of the Demonic Sect.
Leaving aside Hua Baifeng, Lan Xiezi had an intimate relationship with him, and Da Huanxi Nu Bodhisattva was killed by him. Now, the most mysterious Nanhai Niangzi has finally appeared.
The Lady of the South Sea, also known as the "Thousand-Faced Guanyin," possesses unfathomable disguise skills, and it is said that no one has ever seen her true face.
Or rather, those who witnessed her true face all became dead.
Gu Yu was still somewhat curious about this mysterious woman from the South China Sea.
However, he couldn't quite understand why this woman had invited him to do something. Could it be that she wanted to avenge the Great Joyful Bodhisattva?
However, this possibility is very small.
The four princesses of the Demonic Sect had almost no interaction with each other, let alone any friendship.
Besides, Lady Nanhai had already left the Demonic Sect and gone to develop her career in the South China Sea.
What is this woman doing traveling all the way to Liangzhou? Is she attending a martial arts gathering, or is she in cahoots with the King of Liang?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
So, Gu Yu took a carriage to a courtyard in the west of the city.
"Young Master Gu, please!"
The woman in white led Gu Yu to the front hall.
Unexpectedly, a woman who looked like a maid stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, the master has to go out on an urgent matter."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu turned and left without saying a word.
"Wait—" the maid hurriedly caught up, "Master said that to express her apology, she has prepared a surprise for the young hero."
"Oh? What kind of surprise?"
"Please come with me, young master."
Led by the maid, Gu Yu entered a room in the backyard.
Upon entering, I was immediately struck by how bright and beautiful it was.
This room has a strong exotic feel, with Persian carpets on the floor and furniture, wine glasses, ornaments, and musical instruments all in the style of the Western Regions.
Importantly, there are also four stunning beauties from the Western Regions.
What a pleasant surprise!
I never imagined that this woman from the South China Sea was so good at understanding how to dress.
The four women from the Western Regions were all beautiful and charming, and none of them were dressed except for a light veil tied around their chests and a light veil wrapped around their waists, boldly displaying their proud figures.
Moreover, they can speak the Central Plains dialect, which, although it sounds a bit stiff, has its own unique charm.
"This humble servant greets you, young master!"
The four women stepped forward together and greeted each other.
This humble servant, tsk tsk!
What does it matter whether Lady Nanhai is here or not?
Gu Yu smiled and asked, "What are your names?"
"This humble servant is Dilireba!"
"This humble servant is Reba!"
"This humble servant is Nazha!"
"This humble servant is Liya!"
Gu Yu burst into laughter: "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! My beauty, quickly pour the wine!"
"Yes, young master!"
Dili responded and went to pour the wine.
Dilraba picked up a erhu and started playing. Gulnazar and Liya, barefoot, followed the rhythm, swaying their slender waists and rounded hips like water snakes as they danced gracefully.
Dili poured herself a drink, but drank it all herself, then brought it to Gu Yu's lips...
The wine is grape wine.
After being fed by Dilireba, it became even sweeter and more fragrant.
The evil feudal era must be criticized!
"You two, come and pour me some wine too."
So, Nazha and Liya walked over, swaying as they went, and like Dilireba, they first drank the wine into their mouths before bringing it to Gu Yu's lips.
After a while, Dilraba also came over.
She became even wilder, sometimes feeding Gu Yu a sip of wine, sometimes sitting on him and writhing like a snake, and sometimes getting up to sing and dance lightly.
She possessed a unique, subtle fragrance, unlike that of women from the Central Plains, giving her a distinctly exotic charm.
The light gauze tied around her chest had somehow slipped down.
Fine wine and beautiful women from the Western Regions—the wine doesn't intoxicate, but the person does...
