"Didn't I just come here a few days ago?" Hou De grabbed Qingqing's hand and said with a kiss.
"The young man also said that the young man used to come here almost every day. During this time, he only came every once in a while. Did he find a new love?" Qingqing said pretending to be angry.
"My little baby, I really have something to do. My father has been at home recently, so how dare I come out, but tomorrow my father will go on a long journey, and then no one will care about me."
Hou Junji was punished for being greedy for ink, so he was naturally very honest during this time, at least on the surface.
Hou De naturally couldn't be as carefree as before.
"Okay, don't be angry, I have something for you this time." Hu De said in a low voice.
The smile on Qingqing's face disappeared, and she asked in a low voice: "My lord, my family is just a brothel girl. I helped my lord before in order to repay my kindness over the years. The kindness has already been repaid. Such a thing is trivial. Grandpa should find someone else."
Although she knew that Hou De was only greedy for her beauty, but because of Hou De these years, her life was so easy, so before Hou De asked her to send a letter, she did not refuse.
Although she didn't know the content of the letter, nor the identity of the recipient.
But she knew very well in her heart that it was definitely not a good thing to be so sneaky.
Once the incident happened, she didn't know if Hou De would be in trouble, but she was a brothel woman, and her fate would not be so good.
"Baby, as long as you continue to help me deliver the letter, I promise you to help you redeem your body and take you as a concubine." Hou De promised.
"Young master, are you serious?" Miss Qingqing's eyes lit up.
For a beautiful woman like her, it is difficult for the brothel to let them redeem themselves.
Unless the other party is a powerful person, the people behind the brothel will only agree if they don't dare to offend.
But who can open a brothel in Chang'an, who has no background?
And those noble people would not accept a brothel girl.
That's why, those who could redeem their bodies would not do it, and those who wanted to redeem them, the brothel would not agree.
Of course, here we are talking about top names like Qingqing.
As for those ordinary women, as long as they can afford the money, there is no problem in redeeming themselves.
Now hearing that Hou De is willing to redeem her body, Qingqing is not excited.
But soon she calmed down, the Hou family was the Duke's mansion, how could she let a brothel girl in.
Even if Hou De didn't lie to her, would Hou Junji agree?
In the final analysis, Hou Junji of the Duke's Mansion is the one in charge.
No matter how good Hou De promised now, if Hou Junji didn't agree, everything would be useless.
"Thank you, little prince, for your pity, but I'm afraid that the slave family will not be able to enter the Duke's mansion." Qingqing said.
"Don't worry, this matter is done for my father. As long as it is done well, why would my father not agree if he is happy?" Seeing Qingqing's refusal, Hou De said quickly.
After Hou Junji met Li Tai that day, he thought about establishing a secret communication channel.
After all, both Li Tai and his identities are more sensitive, and if what they do is leaked out, both of them will die.
But Chang'an didn't know how many Baiqi spies there were. Hou Jun thought it over and thought, and felt that the brothel staff was very complicated and it was difficult to be discovered, so he left this matter to Hou De.
Of course, Hou Junji is not a fool, he specially asked Hou De to send a message to Qingqing in order to test Qingqing.
The person he sent to fetch the letter brought it back with the note on it intact.
Originally Hou Junji wanted to test a few more times, but time was running out, Li Shimin asked him to lead the troops to Songzhou.
Hou Junji had no choice but to send a letter at this time. He had carefully calculated that Li Shimin was going to take advantage of the fisherman's profit in the grassland battle, so he would let Xue Yantuo and Western Turks fight first.
As for when Datang will enter the field, it depends on how far the two sides are fighting.
Hou Junji felt that if Xi Turkic and Xue Yantuo fought longer, he might have already returned, and he would still have a chance to participate by then.
But the premise of all this is that someone speaks for him in the court.
Naturally, Li Tai couldn't speak for him, but the family behind Li Tai could.
That's why he took the risk and asked Hou De to deliver the letter.
"Young master, are you serious?" Qingqing said in disbelief.
"Of course it's true, don't worry, the letter is just here with you, you just need to follow the code to send the letter to the other party, if there is anything wrong, just destroy the letter." Hou De said.
Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the temptation to redeem herself and become the concubine of the future Duke, and said, "Okay, I just hope that the young Duke will not forget today's promise."
"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know how much I like you. If my father didn't let me, I would have redeemed you a long time ago. Come on, let's be happy first, but I miss me so much." Hou De said wretchedly .
……
The bottom floor of the painting boat is used to store sundries, in addition to that, there is also a small room specially used to punish those disobedient women.
People who paint boats stay away from this place, and few people come here. Usually, only a little old man called Lao Pan stays here.
Legend has it that this old Pan, who used to be a jailer in the Yamen of the Sui Dynasty, was responsible for interrogating prisoners, and he knew all kinds of methods.
Later, somehow, he was exiled on the painting boat, and was responsible for teaching those disobedient women.
Normally, no matter the servants or those girls, they would hide away when they saw him.
Lao Pan was also happy to be at leisure, basically staying alone in the hut on the ground floor and never going out.
However, at this time, there was a servant who sneaked out of the small room on the ground floor.
"Dong dong dong."
"Who is it?" came Lao Pan's lazy voice.
"Old Pan is me, I'll bring you some food."
"come in."
The boy opened the door and walked in.
Because the bottom warehouse has no windows, only one candle was lit in the room, making it very dim.
The boy seemed to be very familiar with it, and directly put the things in his hand on the table.
"Old Pan, Hou De is here again. I eavesdropped next door, but their voices were very low, and I only vaguely heard what they said." The servant was not as casual as before, with a trace of Respectfully.
"Oh?"
A gleam flashed in Lao Pan's eyes, and he no longer had the listless look he had before.
The boy asked, "Do you want me to steal the letter?"
Lao Pan shook his head and said, "In our business, what we must avoid is to startle the enemy before things are clear. As long as they think it's safe, they will show their feet."
"Then what do we need to do now?" the boy asked for instructions.
"You pass this news up, and wait for the orders from above to come down." Lao Pan said.
Lao Pan is actually a member of Baiqi, and the brothel has a complex staff, who can hear a lot of news, so Baiqi naturally has someone in place.
There are so many guests coming and going on the painting boat every day, it is naturally impossible to monitor all of them.
Hou De is a frequent visitor to the painting boat, and he was not in the target of their surveillance.
But last time when Hou De came to see Qingqing, Qingqing's maid was guarding the door, which had never happened before.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
So Hou De became Baiqi's surveillance object.
"Yes." The boy replied and withdrew.
