At dusk, Lan Yi returned to Wutong Street from the palace, just after the three archways, he saw Gong Yi Tuo riding a horse galloping over, she stood facing him, and waited for Gong Yi Tuo to get off the horse and hurriedly asked: "It's this hour, where is the Hou Ye going?"

Gong Chuan Tuo was wearing a dark robe, a white hosta with his hair curled at will, and his simple outfit was like a walk on the patio of the house, and it was Lan Yi who was curious about his whereabouts.

The matter of King Hui, of course, the public loses to Tuo, because Yuwenyou is not mourning, and the news is not allowed to spread, it is inconvenient for him to enter the palace to comfort the emperor, and the place he is going to today is Wanbaolou, and someone invited him, so he said bluntly to Lan Yi: "Your apprentice Zhu Yuanyu said that he was looking for me to reminisce about the past." ”

If he didn't mention it, Lan Yi would have forgotten about Yin Zhu Yuanyu of Shuntian Mansion, since it was Zhu Yuanyu who invited him, it must not be an idle matter, although Lan Yi was full of happiness that he didn't fall into the house all day long, and it was not easy to stop him, so he advised: "Master Hou must not be greedy for cups, be careful of your body." ”

Gong Yituo nodded in response, and when he got on the horse and wanted to leave, he suddenly found that there was a faint blood mark on Lan Yi's right cheek, because Lan Yi's skin was white, so it was very obvious, and he hurriedly asked, "Your face?"

Lan Yi's heart sank, and his smile was extremely unnatural: "It's almost good for my son's little hand, it's almost good, it's been a long time since Master Hou has looked at me squarely, this injury has been a day." ”

Gong Tuotuo was slightly stunned at first, then understood what she meant, laughed, and patted her on the head: "I've been busy lately, and I'll come back early tonight, I just wanted to ask you about the affairs in the palace." ”

Lan Yi bowed and sent him off, his face expressionless.

Gong Tuo knew that she was unhappy, shook his head helplessly, whipped away, rushed to Wanbaolou, the guy saw him than his father, the door found that he was at the door of the restaurant urgently strangled the reins, the guy ran out to meet her, took the reins he threw over, and greeted him attentively: "Hou Ye has always been good, he has not come to take care of him for a long time, and the shopkeeper is about to get sick." ”

Knowing that he was slapping the horse, he laughed at the classics, walked towards the restaurant, and asked the guy when he was in and out of the door: "Old Zhu Ke is here?"

They were all frequent visitors to Wanbaolou, and the guy understood that the old Zhu in his mouth was Yin Zhu Yuanyu of Shuntian Mansion, and shook his head: "I haven't come." ”

Gong Zhituo was a little surprised, how could there be a reason for the guests to wait, and Zhu Yuanyu has always offered him as an ancestor, but then he thought, who hasn't had an unexpected thing happening, probably Shuntianfu took over the case again, so he didn't go upstairs, picked up a window seat and sat down, the guy brought the tea, he had little taste of tea, so he ordered a pot of light wine, and took a plate of peanuts, first cushioned the bottom, and sat and waited for Zhu Yuanyu.

At this time, before the meal, there were scattered guests in the restaurant, and in the window not far from him, there was a guest sitting with his back to him, the man was drinking alone, silent, and the public lost his eyes, and then thoughtfully.

Suddenly, there was a crunch in the corner, and the drinker couldn't help but look, and found that it was the wind that blew the teacup off the table, and it was nothing serious, so you turned around and continued to eat.

Gong Tuo also poured himself a drink, and ate a pot of wine until there was not a drop left, Zhu Yuanyu still did not show up, Gong Tuo felt that something was wrong, and pulled the guy to ask about the recent situation in the restaurant.

The guy didn't understand what he meant, so he said: "The store has been busy, the business is very good, Lord Lao is worried, and there are ......"

The guy suddenly lowered his voice: "There is a new singer, she is more handsome than Nian Nu'er and sings better than Nian Nu'er, do you want to call her out?"

At the mention of Nian Nu'er, Gong Chuan Tuo was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, I can't be convenient today, another day." ”

He stood up as he spoke, since he couldn't wait for Zhu Yuanyu for a long time, he didn't wait, he was going to go to Shuntianfu to see what was going on, and turned around and told the guy to remember the food money first, because there was no entourage, he never remembered to put some silver money on his body to use.

The guy saw him hurrying and leaving, and said, "This little money, the villain settled it for Hou Ye, but why did Hou Ye leave so early today?"

Gong Yi Tuo patted the guy's shoulder to express his gratitude, and then said angrily: "It's not Lao Zhu's birdman, he invited me to eat and drink, and he actually ...... himself."

The words were swallowed halfway, because he saw Zhu Yuanyu walking in from outside the door, he pointed at Zhu Yuanyu with his hand and scolded: "Old fellow, I thought you wouldn't come, if you are a little late, I will really leave." ”

Zhu Yuanyu was scolded by him inexplicably, but he still gave his hand first, and did not forget to smile shyly: "Listen to the meaning of the Hou Ye, do you know that the next official will come?"

Gong Tuo's eyes glared: "Lao Zhu, you are making fun of Ben Hou." ”

Zhu Yuanyu felt that there was something in it, and hurriedly said: "Xia Guan didn't dare to laugh at Hou Ye, but Xia Guan really didn't know that Hou Ye was here." ”

Gong Tuo was incredulous: "Didn't you send someone to send me a letter, saying that you were eating wine in Wanbaolou at this hour?" ”

Zhu Yuanyu opened his mouth and stammered: "Ah, ah!"

Then he said: "Hou Ye is such a smart person, I don't want to think about it, if I invite Hou Ye to eat wine, why bother to repair the book, just let Du Qiqi deliver a message to Hou Ye." ”

Du Seventeen, Zhu Yuanyu's personal entourage.

The two of them are friends who often come and go, and generally everything is passed on by this Du Seventeen generations.

Gongchuan Tuo suddenly remembered that the letter handed to him by the housekeeper Maosheng was stamped with Zhu Yuanyu's official seal, if not, how could he be gullible, since it was not Zhu Yuanyu's invitation, and since there was Zhu Yuanyu's official seal on the letter, Gongchuan Tuo's heart was suddenly shocked, and he seemed to notice something, and pretended to chat with Zhu Yuanyu: "It's really not you?"

His eyes searched everywhere, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

Zhu Yuanyu pulled a person who came with him behind him: "This is the younger brother, just came from Hebei, the two brothers haven't seen each other for some years, so I took him to Wanbaolou to sit down, I didn't want to meet Hou Ye, but today I really didn't invite Hou Ye to come over to eat and drink, but since I met, I asked Hou Ye to enjoy his face and sit together, my younger brother is in business, I want to come to the capital to mix, and I have to ask Hou Ye to take care of it in the future." ”

Gong Tuo shook his head: "What do you care about or not, your old Zhu's younger brother, Ben Hou should look at it differently, since you didn't invite me today, I won't sit." ”

Zhu Yuanyu only thought he was unhappy, and smiled flatteringly: "Another day, I will charter this Wanbaolou to invite Hou Ye to eat and drink, but I didn't invite Hou Ye today, I really came for my brother." ”

Gong Yituo squeezed him with his fist, and laughed: "You have explained, you don't invite me, I just happened to go home to accompany my son, if you really invited, I can't come." ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanyu's younger brother smiled and greeted him, and then went out and shouted that the man led his horse, flew up, ignored Zhu Yuanyu at the door and looked at him with pity, rode his horse and galloped, but did not go home, but went to the west gate.

He ran to the west gate in one go, and when the gate was closed, he dismounted nearby, threw the reins at will, and strode towards an abandoned house.

It is abandoned, of course, it is ruined and broken, the sky has been dark, the house is dark, and the trees and leaves are lush at this time, and there are barren grasses up to the waist, which is even more mysterious and terrifying, he is not afraid at all, the sword light and sword shadow have seen more, how can he be afraid of demons and monsters, so he walked leisurely to the house that was about to collapse, stood still, Lang Lang smiled and said: "Your Excellency has been with me for so long, it is time to show up, there is no one else here, you want to kill and kill, don't take advantage of it." ”
