Chapter 70: The Jade-Faced Child
The Lantern Festival in the capital is extraordinarily lively, and before the time comes, the streets are already full of all kinds of lanterns. Under the lanterns www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, men, women and children wearing masks are wandering in groups of three or five, or in pairs.
Li Yuanche had just escaped from the Lantern Festival banquet in the palace, he came to the Xiangdrunken Pavilion to change his clothes, picked up a mask in his hand and was about to go out, when he was stopped by Ling Wu.
"Lord, my subordinates have something to report." Spirit Dance saluted. "The jade-faced boy appeared in the capital."
"Oh?" Li Yuanche stopped, "Is that the flower thief who appeared in Taiyuan two years ago?" ”
"Yes, that's the man." Ling Wu glanced at his master, "Master, see if you need your subordinates to come forward and take him down." ”
This jade-faced boy is a famous flower thief in the rivers and lakes. However, it is surprising that very few of the women he has been infected with resented him, and most of them have fallen ill with lovesickness against him. Outsiders don't know the reason for this, Lingwu, as the Oiran of the Qinglou, is secretly responsible for the collection of intelligence in the capital in the shadow guard, so she naturally knows the strangeness.
The jade-faced boy has a peerless appearance, is handsome and abnormal, and a pair of peach blossom electric eyes are even more natural and affectionate, and he has a lot of effort in the affairs of men and women in those beds, no wonder those boudoir women who have never seen a man are teased by him a little, and they can't help themselves, and there is a sense of letting the gentleman pick up.
Ling Wu asked if he wanted to take down this person, or because this jade-faced boy had attacked the young lady of the Taiyuan prefect's family in Taiyuan two years ago, and after the young lady was broken by the jade-faced son, he had to shout that he would not marry, and the whole Taiyuan City was full of storms. At that time, the master had the intention of taking down this person. It's just that this person slipped away quickly at the time, so he didn't catch him.
"No, send someone to follow him for the time being." Li Yuanche put on his mask and walked out. Maybe in a few days, I will be able to use this person.
The Zhuangyuan Building on Suzaku Street is the tallest building on the entire street, and standing on this floor, you can see the lights of the entire Suzaku Street. Therefore, every year during the Lantern Festival, all the private rooms in the Zhuangyuan Building were booked in advance by those wealthy businessmen and magnates in the capital.
Li Yuanche had already instructed Zhou Ping to secretly charter a private room on the top floor of the Zhuangyuan Building in advance, and Wang Jiqing was waiting for him in this private room at this time.
The two of them have special identities, and they are afraid that other people will inadvertently find out their identities and cause trouble, so even if they have masks, they don't dare to walk on the street in a grand manner, and they can only look at the lanterns of the Lantern Festival on this champion building.
"Gently, I've kept you waiting." Li Yuanche took off his mask and sat down beside Wang Xiqing. "Today's palace banquet has dragged on for a long time."
"It's okay, it's going to be lively outside." Wang Ji lightly supported her cheeks with her hands, and was tilting her head to probe the lights outside. At this time, she showed a bit of girlish cuteness.
"What are you looking at?" Li Yuanche followed the girl's gaze and frowned slightly. "Why is he here?"
"Who?" Wang Ji glanced back at him. "The deceased? Acquaintance? ”
"It's Yuwenxin." Li Yuanche pointed to a pair of men and women with masks on their faces who had walked to the door of the Zhuangyuan Building on the street and were surrounded by a group of guards. "That man is Yu Wenxin, he was the one who hurt me in Jiangzhou at the beginning."
"Oh, you've been in Beijing for so long, and he didn't even recognize you?" Wang Jiqing was a little strange.
"At that time, I was dressed in black and masked, and after being found by him, he retreated in time, thinking that he should not recognize me." Li Yuanche's voice deepened, "Sooner or later, one day, I will take revenge for this arrow." ”
"If you are not afraid that he will recognize you, why should you care so much about seeing him here. Today is the Lantern Festival, and it is normal for him to come out to play. Wang Ji chuckled, and when she turned back, she didn't find Yu Wenxin and her party, thinking that she should have walked into the Zhuangyuan Building.
"That Yuwenxin, I naturally don't care. He is now fighting with the prince in the court, and it is the time when he needs to pull my Li family. Li Yuanche smiled a little embarrassedly, "What I care about is the woman next to him, I'm afraid that you will lose your interest when you see her." ”
"Oh, Lord of Annam?" Wang Ji smiled understandingly.
"Are you afraid that I will lose interest when I see her, or are you worried that I will be pestered by her after she finds out?" There was a hint of ridicule in the girl's cold voice.
"Gently, isn't that all the same?" Li Yuanche doted on the girl beside him, and secretly waved his hand somewhere behind him.
The two walked to the window together, and talked about the beauty of the street like a pair of ordinary children.
The ash hidden in the dark retreated silently, and quietly found the window of the private room where Yu Wenxin was.
"Third brother, you must help me this time," the somewhat aggrieved voice of the county lord of Annan sounded.
"Annan, your wedding date, my father has already set it for March, and now it is less than two months, why should you be like this." Yu Wenxin looked at this cousin, quite helpless. If it weren't for the fact that the concubine had to take her out by herself, he wouldn't have come to this troubled water.
"Third brother, you also know that I'm about to get married, I just want to sneak a look at him before the wedding." There was a hint of supplication in the voice of the lord of Annan. Since he was taken away from the Yuqing Palace by his father during the day, he already knew that he was about to get married in March.
She was really unwilling, and she wanted to see Li Yuanche again no matter what. If he really has an interest in her, after the raw rice is cooked and matured, with the face of the Tang State Mansion and the Xingwang Mansion, the imperial uncle may not agree to let them be together.
"Third brother, you just need to invite him here tomorrow, I only secretly glanced at him from the side and promised not to appear in front of him. Third brother, please. ”
"Okay," Yuwenxin looked at his cousin for a long time, and finally agreed. "Okay, you can only watch from the sidelines, but you are not allowed to come out."
Yu Wenxin thought that if he wanted to pull the prince off the horse, he had to get the support of his imperial uncle Xingwang, and the imperial uncle had always loved this cousin. At this time, I helped my cousin, and on the day of the future competition, maybe a few words from this cousin can make Xingwangfu favor his side a little more.
Ash listened outside the window for a while, and when he saw that there was no other useful information coming from inside, he quietly left the window.
As the hour passed, there were fewer pedestrians on Suzaku Street. Li Yuanche saw that it was not early, so he quietly followed a few meters behind Wang Xiqing, and sent Wang Xiqing back to the other courtyard all the way.
Seeing the woman's figure disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Li Yuanche beckoned, and the shadow guard gray floated out of the darkness silently.
"What do you hear?" The mellow male voice is extraordinarily deep in the dark night.
"Returning to the master's words, the subordinates heard the ...... outside King Shin's private room" Ash Yi leaned into his master's ear and repeated everything he had heard.
"Go to Chunfeng Building and call Gray San too." Li Yuanche snorted coldly, very good, I already planned to let you go, if you want to die, I can't blame me.
He, Li Yuanche, has never been a good person, and it is impossible for a good person to survive from the swords and swords of the frontier. What's more, this time it was the other party who took the initiative to come up, even if his own methods were ruthless. It's just that this matter needs to be kept lightly.
