Brocade Robe Unparalleled

Chapter 101 Strike First to Strike [Thanks to all readers]

Luofu.

Lowe was playing and having fun with his wives and concubines.

A short man rushed in and bowed, reporting, "Young master, there's been progress on the matter you instructed me to investigate!"

After swallowing the grapes his concubine fed him, Luo Wei ordered them to leave before asking, "What's the background of those people?"

The short man said, "I've been following them for the past two days and discovered that the man is the commander of the Jingbian Division in Bozhou. One of the beauties comes from a chieftain family in Sizhou. They own a salt shop in Bozhou. The other beauty is a maid in the Jingbian Division commander's household..."

Luo Wei picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a hint of sourness, "The maids in the house are all so beautiful. This guy is really lucky with women..."

Although he had many wives and concubines, none of them could compare to those two women.

At this moment, the short man added, "By the way, young master, I've been following them these past two days and discovered that the captain has a stunning beauty by his side. However, although she's beautiful, her figure is rather plain. I imagine you probably wouldn't like her..."

Another beauty. Luo Wei had intended to ask her more details, but when he heard that she was of average build, he immediately lost all interest.

He tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, lost in thought.

The chieftain of Sizhou was nothing in Bozhou.

As for the commander of the Jingbian Division, even if he were a centurion or a commander of a thousand households, he would have to keep his head down in Bozhou City.

After a moment's thought, he leaned close to the shorter man's ear and said, "Same as before, you take a few men and keep watch nearby. Find an opportunity to bring those two beauties back..."

The shorter man smiled knowingly: "I understand..."

……

When Lin Xuan and A Luo returned from grocery shopping, they glanced around as they passed the alley entrance.

The two beggars in the east corner, the two peddlers next to the teahouse in the west, and the two customers at the tea stall have been staying here for the past two days.

He gave someone surnamed Luo a chance.

But he didn't cherish it.

Then he would have no choice but to strike first.

Back home, Lin Xuan cooked dinner as usual, then took a large bag of soybeans to A Luo and Tian Qingluan's yard, asking them to pick out the good beans that afternoon, as he needed them to make tofu the next day.

This matter will keep them busy for an entire afternoon.

Outside the alley.

Several figures were waiting patiently.

Their mission was to bring the two beauties back to the Luo residence, but every time they went out, the commander of the Jingbian Division followed them. The commander of the Jingbian Division was at least a seventh-rank officer.

Unless they summon the young master's two personal guards, they have no way to snatch him away in front of a seventh-rank martial artist.

Two guards from the Luo family, disguised as peddlers, were watching the alleyway when suddenly one of them looked towards a certain spot on the street and exclaimed, "Look! Look!"

The other person looked in the direction he was pointing and was taken aback.

What a beautiful woman!
A tall, beautiful woman was walking down the street.

She was wearing a coarse cloth skirt with several patches, suggesting that her family was not well-off.

A small, patched bundle was slung diagonally over her shoulder as she walked slowly down the street, clutching it tightly in one hand. Her eyes timidly scanned her surroundings; she was clearly from out of town…

The two looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

A beautiful woman from out of town, with no connections, and from a poor family...

This is practically a gift from heaven!
Those two women can't escape for now. If we offer this beauty to the young master, we'll surely receive a generous reward.

Just then, the beautiful woman slowly walked towards them.

She stopped next to a peddler and timidly asked, "Brother, I've come to Bozhou to find my cousin, but I'm not familiar with this place and I can't read. I can't find where my cousin lives. Could you help me find out where this is...?"

The woman's voice was melodious and pleasant, making the two guards from the Luo family feel weak in the knees.

She took out a piece of paper with a name and address written on it from her bosom and handed it to the guard.

The guard named Li Zhong glanced at him and said, "So your cousin is Zhang Hu? I know Zhang Hu. He's moved. I'll take you there!"

The woman said gratefully, "Thank you so much, brother..." Li Zhong waved his hand and said, "It was nothing, no need to thank me..."

He winked at his companion and said, "I'll take this girl there first. You watch the stall for me. I'll share half of today's profits with you..."

The other person understood immediately; he meant that half of the young master's reward would be given to him. He decisively patted his chest and said, "Go."

Li Zhong looked at the woman who had asked for directions and said, "Miss, let's go..."

He truly hadn't expected that a beautiful woman would actually come knocking on his door.

This girl looks dull and doesn't know how to read, so it's easy to fool her.

He led her to one of the young master's villas in the city. The woman looked around, a hint of doubt on her face: "Brother, is this my cousin's house?"

Li Zhong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, please wait in the room for a moment, I'll go and call your cousin."

The woman gave him a graceful bow and said, "Thank you, brother..."

Li Zhong waved his hand: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me, it's just a pleasure to help others..."

After taking the woman to the side room, he left and then quickly ran out the gate, heading straight for the Luo residence.

A moment later, inside the Luo residence.

Luo Wei looked Li Zhong up and down, and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Li Zhong nodded hurriedly: "It's absolutely true, how could I dare to lie to you, young master? That young lady is beautiful and has a great figure. She's waiting for you in the other courtyard right now. You should go quickly, young master, or I'm afraid she'll become suspicious..."

Luo Wei closed his folding fan and said, "Go and see. If that woman is really as beautiful as you say, you'll be rewarded handsomely..."

Not long after, inside the secluded courtyard.

Luo Wei stood in front of the window of the side room, poked a hole in the paper window with his finger, and looked inside. He was immediately stunned.

What a beauty!
Her simple clothes couldn't hide her beauty and charm; in fact, this attire only made her seem more pitiful...

He took out a silver note from his sleeve, handed it to Li Zhong, and said approvingly, "Not bad, this is a reward for you!"

Li Zhong accepted the one hundred taels of silver note, his face immediately lighting up with joy. He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, young master!"

Luo Wei walked to the door, pushed it open, and went inside.

Soon after, the woman's startled cry echoed from inside the room.

"You, you're not my cousin!"

"What do you want to do!"

"Let me go! Let me go!"

The woman's cries gradually subsided. Just as Li Zhong approached, Luo Wei's voice came from inside the house.

"Go and stand guard outside the gate."

Li Zhong had originally wanted to listen to the bed, but upon hearing this, he had no choice but to turn around and walk outside.

He was filled with emotion. The young master had slept with more beauties than many people had ever seen. They were all human, so why was there such a big difference?

A moment later, a figure walked out of the courtyard.

Li Zhong immediately bowed: "Young Master!"

He appeared respectful, but inwardly he was thinking, "Young Master is too fast. This beauty is going to him; it's such a waste."

Luo Wei glanced back and said, "That woman has fainted. You stay at the door and wait until she wakes up before going back to let me know."

Li Zhong clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Yes!"

Watching the young master's departing figure, he scratched his head, feeling that the young master had been a bit strange just now, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

He sat down on the stone steps by the door and, following the young master's instructions, waited for the woman to wake up.

At this moment, on the streets of Bozhou.

Lin Xuan emerged from a small alley, bought two fresh bass from a fishmonger on the street, strung them together with a straw rope, and carried them leisurely towards home...
