The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 117 Chu Jing Activities

The next morning, before dawn, Su Lun and Wang Shen left Yang's house early. They each had a different mission. Wang Shen's mission was to find out more about the Chu State, while Su Lun needed to find two suitable places to stay.

After asking around, Su Lun finally rented two yards from a dental clinic. As the saying goes, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows", they must be fully prepared just in case.

When all matters were settled, the sun had risen high and it was almost noon. According to the plan, Gu Bei and the others should have arrived. So Su Lun hurried to the city gate and found Gu Bei and the others according to the code agreed upon before.

The team led by Gu Bei did not choose to stay at Yang's house with Su Lun, but settled in a better inn in the city. At this time, Su Lun and Gu Bei were sitting in the room, carefully exchanging the information they had collected on the road.

The two found that the intelligence they obtained was basically the same. The State of Chu was currently facing a serious disaster, and the situation was quite grim. At the same time, the news that Master Chen Xuan was about to come to the State of Chu for peace talks had spread like wildfire, and almost everyone knew that the Dashun Dynasty was willing to sell grain to the State of Chu to alleviate the disaster.

"Lord Yang is taking the official road and will arrive in Chu in about five days. I asked Qi Heng to pass the message to Licheng before. He should be moving with the main force now. We have to find out what's going on in the capital these days. Lord Yang mentioned before that there is a general in Chu who is ruthless, brave and good at fighting. He has always been ambitious to invade Dashun. We need to be careful of the general's secret sabotage. In addition, we must also pay attention to those who want to make money from the national disaster. We have blocked their way to wealth this time." Su Lun said seriously. His eyes revealed deep worry and vigilance.

Gu Bei frowned slightly, and nodded solemnly to show his agreement: "You are right. We have made some arrangements along the way. If the talks fail, at least we have to protect Mr. Yang and return to Beijing safely..."

There was a hint of helplessness and determination in his voice, and he had obviously prepared for the worst.

The two looked at each other, with determination flashing in their eyes.

"By the way, how is Guoguo, the girl you brought with you before?" Gu Bei changed the subject and asked about Guoguo.

"His name is Su Xi now, and he lives with us."

"Are you really planning to keep him with you forever? Isn't that a bit risky?" Gu Bei said with some disapproval.

"I haven't thought of a better way yet. I promised Su Xi that I would not abandon him. If it really comes to that, we'll talk about it. Maybe it will go smoothly this time."

"I hope it's as you wish. I hope I'm just overthinking it." Gu Bei frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry.

"Everything will work out when the time comes." Su Lun tried to remain calm and comfort himself, but he was also filled with anxiety in his heart.

"Brother Gu, this is Chu Capital after all. We need to be more careful when we meet in the future. The information we get now is still too limited. It would be great if there was a way to find out the news from the Chu court." Su Lun sighed with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

After hearing this, Gu Bei couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Brother Su, just be content! It's not easy for us to find out all this. We have almost grasped the disaster situation in Chu. Our most important task now is to arrange our personnel. Once the peace talks begin, we must spread the news throughout the streets and alleys of Chu."

"Of course. In the next few days, I will travel all over Chujing under the pretext of renting a shop, taking the opportunity to observe and familiarize myself with the terrain and layout here, and will also try to find out more about the situation here. If there is an emergency, Brother Gu can have someone send the news to Yang's house." After Su Lun finished speaking, he handed Gu Bei a note with the address of Yang's house on it.

"Understood, Brother Su, be careful."

When Su Lun returned to Yang's house, Wang Shen had already returned.

"Brother Su, I got some news today. The mysterious Prince Qin seems to have returned to the capital. It is said that he supports peace talks."

"Hmm? Is this news reliable?" Su Lun asked with a frown.

"I learned about it from those playboys in Taoranju. They also said they were going to Huayue Tower to play in the evening. I think we can go and see if we can run into them."

"Huayue Tower?" Su Lun couldn't help but feel puzzled. "This name sounds a bit... Could it be a brothel?"

Wang Shen smiled and said, "Haha, that's right. Huayue Tower is the largest and most famous brothel in the capital of Chu. Those playboys usually like to eat, drink and have fun there. Since we can't enter the court now, Huayue Tower may be our best chance."

Su Lun understood Wang Shen's plan and nodded in agreement. Although this kind of place was not what he liked, in order to obtain more information, sometimes he had to take some special measures.

But before Su Lun traveled through time, he was just an ordinary high school student. Although many girls confessed their love to him, he had never really been in love. After traveling through time, he only met a few girls. When he heard that he was going to a place like a brothel, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He hesitated for a moment and said a little stutteringly: "Why don't you go with Jiajun tonight, and I'll stay at home with Xiaoxi..."

Wang Shen laughed to himself and said jokingly, "Brother Su, are you shy?"

Su Lun tried to keep himself calm and said, "How is that possible? It's just that my elder brother is very strict with me. If he knew that I went to that kind of place of fireworks, I'm afraid he wouldn't look at me in a good face. So, brother Wang, this important task is handed over to you! I'll go see Xiaoxi first..."

After Su Lun finished speaking, he left impatiently without giving Wang Shen a chance to respond. Looking at his hurriedly leaving back, Wang Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As night fell and the lights came on, many shops on the street had closed, but Huayue Tower was still brightly lit and bustling. At this time, bursts of laughter and joy could be heard from inside Huayue Tower, making it very lively.

Wang Shen and Chen Jiajun changed into gorgeous clothes. They were graceful and elegant, just like two young men from wealthy families. They walked together and came to the gate of Huayue Tower.

The madam had sharp eyes and spotted the two young men with extraordinary bearing at a glance. She stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically: "Hey, two young men, is this your first time in our Huayue Tower? Please come in quickly. Our girls are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. We guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

Wang Shen smiled slightly, took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and put it into the madam's hand. He gently opened his folding fan, revealing a romantic and suave look: "Mom, we have heard of the reputation of Huayue Tower for a long time, and we came here specially to visit today. Please find a good seat for us, let us listen to the music first and appreciate the elegance of the girls."

The madam smiled happily and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, gentlemen, please follow me." As she spoke, she led Wang Shen and Chen Jiajun into Huayue Tower.
