It's just out of distrust of oneself that one wants to drag oneself down.

Let them be in the same boat.

At this moment, Jiang Mao couldn't help but take out his personal military command token and fell into deep thought.

How should I choose? Given my current awkward position...

However, just as he was lost in thought, an armored figure walked in from outside; it was Jiang Mao's personal guard.

"what's up?"

Jiang Mao asked.

"Sir, the Ministry of War is sending a message."

As he spoke, the guard handed Jiang Mao an unopened document.

Jiang Mao took the document, opened it, and read it carefully by candlelight.

He first frowned, then suddenly his mind cleared.

After reading the document, Jiang Mao looked at the tiger tally in his hand, seemingly having made up his mind.

"Go back to camp."

After leaving those words, he quickly left the Lou family mansion with his entourage.

-

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lou Xiangfei was discussing important plans with Jiang Mao.

After settling Fu Ruiying in, Chi Junlin left the small building alone and headed to the Lou family mansion under the cover of night.

After concealing himself from the sentries in the mansion, Chi Junlin approached Lou Xiangfei's residence and arrived at the door of her study.

At this moment, it was clear that the Crimson King had not come to do anything good.

She actually had some doubts about certain things and wanted to investigate them.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Chi Junlin quickly used his sword-finger technique to unlock the study door.

He then slipped inside the door and began to observe in the darkness.

Chi Junlin knew that Lou Xiangfei's study must be hiding some secret.

Because Consort Lou often entered the study with her maids, and would stay there for several hours at a time, yet not a single person could be seen in the study.

She knew there must be a secret room inside the study, something that wealthy and powerful families often did.

But after searching around, Chi Junlin couldn't find anything that looked like a mechanism.

But just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

It looks like someone is coming.

Chapter 121 Mystery in the Locked Room

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Chi Junlin did not hesitate for a moment and immediately hid in the shadows of the study.

She remained calm and her breathing was extremely steady.

Relying on his profound internal strength, he even controlled and slowed his heartbeat, almost becoming one with the environment.

At this moment, the person who opened the study door and walked in was none other than Lou Xiangfei, the owner of this place.

Although Chi Junlin knew that Lou Xiangfei was highly skilled in martial arts, it was already late and there were no lights in the room.

Therefore, Lou Xiangfei was completely unaware that someone had entered her study.

Chi Junlin hid behind the curtains, silently observing Lou Xiangfei's actions.

She was still wearing the cloak that Chi Junlin had just handed her; the fabric beneath was thin and sheer, revealing her voluptuous figure in an extremely alluring way.

After pondering for a while in the main seat of the study, Lou Xiangfei seemed to recall her previous experience at the banquet.

Suddenly becoming extremely angry, he slammed his fist on the table.

"Boom" sound.

Chi Junlin remained motionless, observing quietly.

Then Lou Xiangfei slammed her cloak onto the table.

As if she wanted to vent something, she walked up to the bookshelf.

Chi Junlin's eyes sharpened, and he thought to himself, "They've arrived."

Sure enough, Lou Xiangfei turned the hidden compartment on the bookcase several times.

Then, a hidden door, large enough for one person to pass through, slowly opened in the stone wall next to the bookshelf.

Lou Xiangfei walked in through the hidden door with a dark expression.

Not long after Lou Xiangfei went inside, the door slowly closed again.

Chi Junlin then walked from the corner to the hidden door.

The hidden door was extremely well concealed, nestled in a corner of the wall, and could hardly be seen without careful observation.

Chi Junlin recalled the direction Lou Xiangfei had touched the bookshelf, reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he discovered the rotating mechanism in the hidden compartment.

She carefully recalled the angle at which Lou Xiangfei's fingers had turned, confirming that she had completely memorized the method for opening the hidden door.

However, the door remained closed.

Because Lou Xiangfei was inside the door at that moment, opening it would mean running right into her.

So Chi Junlin returned to the shadows, intending to go in and check the situation inside after Lou Xiangfei left.

Although he didn't know what Lou Xiangfei had put in the secret room of the study, Chi Junlin knew there must be many key items.

For example, secrets related to the Lou family, and some martial arts manuals.

But whatever it is, it's extremely useful to Red King right now.

Because Chi Junlin's understanding of the Lou family was not deep enough, she couldn't figure out what other hidden tricks Lou Xiangfei was up to.

Furthermore, Chi Junlin only knew that Lou Xiangfei was highly skilled in martial arts, but he did not know which style of martial arts she practiced.

It wouldn't be safe to fight her directly.

Therefore, it would be best to take advantage of this investigation to find out the details of Lou Xiangfei's martial arts techniques.

But just as Chi Junlin was thinking about these things, she suddenly felt as if she heard some strange noises coming from the secret room.

The voice was similar to a woman's, high-pitched and thin, giving the impression of a cat meowing.

Chi Junlin doubted that he had misheard, so he couldn't help but walk forward and lean against the wall to carefully listen to the sound behind it.

Then I realized that I hadn't misheard.

Chi Junlin had also had intimate relations with many women, and he had heard this sound from them far too often.

The moment it entered my ears, it felt incredibly familiar.

That was a woman's voice, uttered with unbridled joy and pleasure, when she was deeply moved.

And accompanied by a dull, crisp sound of something soft striking flesh.

The sound lingered behind the wall for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, prompting Chi Junlin to ponder what was happening inside.

Did Consort Lou keep a male lover in a secret chamber, and occasionally go in to vent her desires when she felt like it?

Just as I was thinking about these things, the sounds inside suddenly stopped.

So Chi Junlin immediately slipped into a dark corner.

Sure enough, after a short while, the hidden door opened again.

Lou Xiangfei, with a rosy complexion and steaming hot, walked out of the door.

Although Chi Junlin was in the shadows, he could clearly see that Lou Xiangfei's red lips were crystal clear and her eyes were bright and sparkling.

After venting her frustrations, she felt much better.

Chi Junlin could even smell the mature fragrance emanating from Lou Xiangfei's body.

Like the intoxicating crabapple blossoms of September.

Lou Xiangfei was completely unaware of Chi Junlin's presence at this time.

Instead, he went to the desk and put the cloak back on.

Then he closed the hidden door and walked out of the study.

After Lou Xiangfei had completely left, Chi Junlin emerged from the darkness once more.

She went to the bookshelf where she had been before and turned the mechanism according to her memory.

Then the hidden door opened again.

Chi Junlin carefully examined the hidden door's design. After confirming that there were no special mechanisms, he slipped inside and entered the secret room.

Upon entering the secret chamber, Chi Junlin immediately smelled an extremely peculiar fragrance.

It's like Lou Xiangfei often frequented this place, and then unconsciously left her body fragrance throughout the secret room.

Chi Junlin was extremely careful in his movements, moving quietly to avoid touching anything and leaving any traces that would alert Lou Xiangfei to the presence of an outsider.

However, after entering the depths of the secret chamber, Chi Junlin's expression gradually became strange.

Because in the darkness, she discovered that the secret room contained many special props.

It is not a weapon or instrument of torture.

Rather, they were strange and erotic techniques used during intimate moments in the bedroom.

The objects inside are all-encompassing, including whips, hooks, horns, balls, bells, candles, ropes, and countless other items.

This was quite an eye-opener for Chi Junlin.

And some of them even had a faint glow on them.

It's clear that someone used it not long ago.

Chi Junlin suddenly understood where the strange fragrance in the room came from...

When Chi Junlin reached the deepest part of the secret chamber, he was shocked to discover that there was another person in the chamber!

A maid, almost naked, was now bound and sitting on a strangely shaped chair, seemingly half-awake, panting heavily.

Chi Junlin immediately recognized the woman as a beautiful maid who often accompanied Lou Xiangfei and was greatly favored by her.

I never imagined that the master and servant would have this kind of relationship.

However, Chi Junlin was not alarmed at this moment.

Although the woman was also in the secret room, her face was covered by a black blindfold.

He looked dazed and confused; he had just fainted.

Therefore, it is unlikely that they would discover the arrival of the Crimson King at this time.

Chi Junlin tiptoed around the chair and over the wet patch of ground without making a sound.

Then, she went to the storage table at the back, which seemed to contain important items.

Chi Junlin quietly rummaged through the items and actually found what he wanted.

She picked up something, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

I thought to myself.

It turns out that Lou Xiangfei's son had such a bizarre background...

Chapter 122 Lingering Fragrance on Fingertips, Ripples in the Heart

When Chi Junlin emerged from the secret chamber, he remained cautious.

After confirming with her superior senses that there was no one else in the study, she opened the door to the secret room and came out.

This exploration in the secret room revealed many hidden secrets to her.

So when he left the study, Chi Junlin still had a smile on his face.

But to her surprise, she ran into someone shortly after coming out of the study.
