The sky was still light when Ye Jiu was taken to the Dance Workshop by Si Rong, under Sikong Mo's arrangements.

This Dance Workshop was well-known in Cloud City. Many wealthy officials would invite the dancing girls from the Workshop to perform at their banquets; naturally, the Guard Office could not omit this arrangement in welcoming General Wei Hu.

"There's a dancing girl in the Workshop who's one of our own. You'll follow her in later, then find a way to get close to General Wei Hu. After you get the key from him, return and hand it to the dancing girl. You can then find a place to hide," Si Rong said.

"Why do I need to come back? Can't you just have someone follow me from a hidden spot, and once I get the key, I can hand it directly to you?" Most importantly, this would offer some protection just in case something unexpected happened!

Ye Jiu had a good plan, but things simply did not go in the direction she hoped.
