After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

There are only a few places in the entire Dragon City suitable for intelligence gathering, and the most advantageous of them is the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Consort Ge's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in astonishment, "Your Highness, you know who Guan Xing is?"

"Hehe, it can't be said. Jingsi, come with me to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion."

Chen Futu immediately summoned An Jingsi, leaving only Consort Ge at the royal court.

When they were young, the two of them drove a horse-drawn carriage all the way to Baihua Pavilion.

Since the case was solved, Baihuage was still a government property, so it was not affected by the case and was not forced to close down. In fact, a "Celebratory Grand Sale" was held to ward off bad luck, and there were even more customers than usual.

The two had just entered when they bumped into the energetic Boss Hua. Chen Futu squinted at her and said, "Boss Hua, business is so good."

"Hey, look at what you're saying. It's all thanks to the young master's good fortune, otherwise our establishment would have closed down long ago."

"Prepare a private room for me, and bring me a few jugs of fine wine."

"Alright, Young Master Qin, please come with me~"

The shop owner, Ms. Hua, accompanied him with a cheerful smile, her almond-shaped eyes radiating charm and allure.

Chen Futu brazenly sized up her good figure, and as he entered the private room, he suddenly slapped her plump buttocks.

With a snap, Boss Hua froze, then mechanically turned his head and said awkwardly, "Oh dear, Young Master Qin, what are you doing? You're so annoying."

"Boss Hua, you're not married yet, are you?" Chen Futu asked deliberately.

The shopkeeper said awkwardly, "I'm too old. Who would want a withered flower like me?"

"Is that so? I think you're quite nice. How about I keep you company tonight?"

"Ahem, young master, you are of noble birth; how could I possibly presume to presume upon such an honor?"

The shopkeeper's smile was a little fake, but very professional.

Chen Futu raised an eyebrow and followed her into the private room, no longer teasing her.

Boss Hua arranged for someone to deliver fine wine and food, exchanged a few words with Chen Futu, and then hurried off to get busy.

After she left, Chen Futu's bright smile instantly turned cold, and then he beckoned An Jingsi over.

"Brother, what are your orders?" An Jingsi stood there like a wooden stake.

Chen Futu pointed to the busy shopkeeper downstairs, "Did you notice anything?"

An Jingsi shook her head and said, "No, she's just an ordinary woman."

"If someone at the peak of the Innate Realm deliberately conceals their aura in front of you, are you sure you can sense it?"

“Brother, an ordinary innate master certainly couldn’t hide from me, but if this person has cultivated a special breathing technique and a method to conceal their aura, then it is possible. Do you suspect that Boss Hua is a stargazer?”

An Jingsi finally realized what was happening.

Chen Futu shook his head and said, "It's just a suspicion; there's no evidence yet."

“What’s so difficult about that? I’ll kill her right now. If she’s really strong, she’ll instinctively fight back.”

"What if she were an ordinary person?"

"Uh……"

An Jingsi scratched his head.

If you don't have the intention to kill when dealing with a peak-level Innate Realm opponent, they will definitely sense it and continue to hide. If you don't hold back, it would be bad to kill an ordinary person.

"Never mind, I'll test her a bit more later."

For the rest of the time, Chen Futu sat on the second floor, leisurely watching Boss Hua.

Boss Hua's behavior was flawless from beginning to end. When she smiled, she looked like a vixen, just like an ordinary shopkeeper.

Could there really be such an extraordinary person in this world? Under An Jingsi's watchful eye, not a single breath would be leaked out.

After Boss Hua finished her work, Chen Futu asked An Jingsi to call her up.

The shop owner, Mr. Hua, fawned over her cup, his still-charming face radiating alluring charm.

"Young Master Qin, you wouldn't really have feelings for me, would you?"

"Of course, I've seen it all, and I'm quite knowledgeable. A woman like Boss Hua is particularly charming, and I'm very interested in her." Chen Futu deliberately lifted Boss Hua's chin.

She smiled obsequiously the whole time, a completely different reaction from when her bottom was patted earlier, as if she had been mentally prepared.

The more she did this, the more Chen Futu took advantage of the situation, suddenly grabbing her waist and pulling her soft, warm body into his arms.

"Oh dear, Young Master Qin, please don't be in such a hurry. I have other things to do later~"

Boss Hua bit her lip and rolled her eyes coquettishly, looking delicate and charming. If someone were to be glanced at like that by her, they would probably melt.

Chen Futu said jokingly, "The more I look at the flower shop owner, the happier I become. I don't want to wait any longer. Why don't we get things done now? Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. From now on, you can walk sideways in the Northern Frontier."

After saying that, Chen Futu hugged her slender waist tightly and wanted to kiss her sexy and plump red lips.

At such close range, Chen Futu could feel Boss Hua's heartbeat quicken suddenly, and her eyes showed panic.

Just as they were about to kiss, Boss Hua suddenly turned her head away, resting her chin on Chen Futu's neck, and said coquettishly, "Young master, you're so annoying. How can you do that kind of thing in broad daylight? It's so embarrassing."

"If it doesn't work during the day, then how about at night?"

"Very well, how about I invite you for a boat trip tonight?"

The shop owner, Mr. Hua, extended the invitation with a smile.

There is a lake formed by a tributary of the Xuan River within Dragon City, and it is located near the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, so the business of boating is naturally an industry of the Commerce Department.

"Then tonight, I will have another in-depth discussion with Boss Hua."

Chen Futu touched the shopkeeper's smooth cheek, then tossed her a gold ingot and grasped her small hand tightly. She was somewhat bewildered and asked, "Is there anything else, sir?"

"I heard that the yamen caught a few thieves last night, and they're supposed to be executed at Caishikou at noon today. Shall we go and take a look?"

"Your Highness, who would take a young lady to watch an execution? Aren't you afraid of spoiling the fun?"

"What's the big deal? Our Northern Frontier is full of martial spirit and has a strong martial culture. Boss Hua has handed over the affairs to others. You and I will go and take a look."

Chen Futu wasn't asking; he was demanding.

The shopkeeper looked troubled, but finally said helplessly, "Since you are interested, I will accompany you. Please wait a moment while I change my clothes."

After saying that, the boss turned and left.

An Jingsi leaned closer and whispered, "Brother, this woman is indeed a bit strange."

"What's weird?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but she gave me the feeling of being insincere and somewhat deliberate."

An Jingsi sensed all of this entirely through the instincts of a strong person, but unfortunately, Boss Hua hid it very well.

Chen Futu toyed with his wine cup and sneered, "Whether she's being hypocritical or not, when the people from Red Moon Pavilion are killed later, you keep a close eye on her and see if she reveals any flaws."

If Boss Hua is a stargazer, then even if she were heartless, she wouldn't have been indifferent to the murder of the people at Red Moon Pavilion.

Hehe, I'm getting more and more excited!
