Qin Changsheng returned to the woodshed and waited for the sound of the flute in the dark.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door.

Three sounds were their secret code, and the person coming was Di Feisheng.

Qin Changsheng rushed out the door and said, "Come in, Ah Fei."

"I thought you weren't here." Di Feisheng said in a sarcastic tone as soon as he entered the door.

"Underestimating me?" Qin Changsheng raised an eyebrow. Seeing Di Feisheng nod as a matter of course, he spread his hands nonchalantly. "Alright, tell me about the topography of Xiangshan, where the guards are concentrated, their patrol routes, etc."

"This place is isolated from the outside world. There's no way up the mountain except for the drawbridge, which is usually closed. Fragrant Hill is divided into the Huansha Pavilion, the Qinhong Palace, and the residences for your female relatives. The rest are the residences for the guards and maids. The Huansha Pavilion is where you bathe in the spring. The Qinhong Palace is where Yulouchun usually holds meetings."

"But he is usually not in Qinhong Palace. Instead, he lives on the top of Xiangshan Mountain, on the top of Kanyunfeng. That is his bedroom." Di Feisheng said with a stern face.

Like a child pretending to be an adult, even though he already looks like a child.

Qin Changsheng shook his head in amusement and added, "There's an ancient temple about two or three kilometers from Xiangshan. The people here usually ring the bells to keep them awake. Other temples ring the bells twice a day, at dawn and dusk, when the temples are practicing asceticism and chanting, and once at noon and midnight."

"So what's your plan?" Di Feisheng asked.

"No plan." Qin Changsheng spread his hands. "Tomorrow you deal with the guards down there. I'll find a way to go to the top of Yunfeng Peak and deal with Yu Louchun."

"Just you?" Di Feisheng's tone was full of doubt.

"Of course it's me." Qin Changsheng smiled cunningly, "You have to know that men are always afraid of lust..."

She spoke vaguely, as if with some deep meaning, and smiled like a fox, which made Di Feisheng look dazed.

…………

The next day, Qin Changsheng, who was still in solitary confinement, received food from a kind-hearted girl, Qianqian, early in the morning.

She was wearing a tattered gray robe, her whole body was dirty, and her dress was soaked with mud and water, like a dirty kitten.

"I secretly left it for you this morning."

She pulled out four exquisite pastries wrapped in rice paper from her bosom and couldn't help but complain, "This damn place is such a jerk. They only give people pastries so early in the morning. How can they possibly be full? And they're so small!"

Qin Changsheng didn't refuse her face. He took the food from her hand and ate it one by one without appearing vulgar. "Of course, it's for the ladies to maintain their figure. If they are really full, they will all be fat and plump. Who will come to his women's house anymore?"

Qianqian folded her arms and said in dissatisfaction, "I don't know what the government is doing. They haven't even closed down such a lewd place!"

"This can't be blamed on the government. After all, the owner of this women's house, Yu Louchun, is rich and powerful. Someone with such wealth naturally has their own ways to protect their wealth."

"Besides, the affairs of the martial arts world are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. They should be managed by Baichuan Academy." Qin Changsheng explained to her in a calm tone.

Qianqian curled her lips and said, "Then Baichuanyuan won't do either. This damn place looks like it's been around for a long time, yet it hasn't done anything like what they do."

Qin Changsheng asked with interest: "How did you know?"

This Xiangshan is a place that is not even marked on the map. The target group of the female residence is also clearly positioned. In addition, the terrain is remote, which makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Otherwise, this place would have been exposed long ago. How could it have existed for so long?

Qianqian casually said, "As for the golden pine tree at the gate, it's a rare Podocarpus that's one in ten thousand, and it takes a hundred years to cultivate. It's a treasure not even in the imperial palace, but it's found here. Its quality wasn't cultivated overnight, and it must have been cultivated over at least three generations."

Qin Changsheng raised an eyebrow. Is this what it means to specialize in a certain field? This guy also knows a lot about this.
