Drunk and full, feasting and talking, the night was dark, Ding Xiao said goodbye to Jiang Xun and others. Before leaving, he also brought a pair of duck skeletons, wrapped in lotus leaves, and carried them in his hands.

Just a little drunk, Ding Xiao walked towards Yichun Fang, and suddenly sneezed without warning. He rubbed his nose and wondered in his heart, could it be that he was infected with the cold? Didn't catch a cold? But I didn't think much about it, I walked to the door of Yichun Fang, the six bartenders at the door saw Ding Xiao, and they all bowed to each other, Ding Xiaoxu helped the six people, smiled habitually, and asked, "Are you here?" ”

A bartender was smart and clever, and immediately got up to take over the conversation and said, "Everyone is in the Red House in the backyard, and Ding Jun will go." ”

"Hmm." Ding Xiao walked through the lobby and front yard on the first floor of the wine shop, and walked straight to the backyard.

The backyard does not enter outsiders, few people come, it is the residence of Chang Jun'e, the owner of Yichun Fang, the area is not large, but there are many stones and waters, flowers and trees. There is a small pond in the center of the courtyard, and there is a strange stone more than one zhang high in the pond, which is exquisitely colorful, colorful and dazzling, and in the night, under the illumination of pink candles and red lights, it is even more beautiful. In the courtyard, a circle of pine and soft willow is planted, supplemented by osmanthus, red maple, kumquat, wax plum and autumn chrysanthemum everywhere. Ding Xiao meandered along the corridor, shuttled through the courtyard, and went up to a two-story red-lacquered wooden building.

The Red House is not big, and there is only one room on the second floor.

In the room on the second floor, the lampshade is red gauze, and on the couch, there is a woman who is lying in a fake sleep, the woman has thin cheeks, her hair is loose, and she pulls a falling ponytail at will. The delicate and fair-skinned hand supports the jade forehead, the willow-like curved eyebrows are slender, the eyes are slightly closed, the eyelashes are thick and slender, and the delicate upward is slightly raised. On the bridge of the nose, the hump is slightly raised, and the round and petite nose tip is embellished with water droplets. That mouth is not the kind of cherry mouth that usually beauties have, but the corners of the mouth naturally smile and rise, and the red lips are plump and slightly upturned, which makes people always want to kiss it. Under the slender jade neck, the rose red jacket, under the inner lining of the heart clothes, a piece of crisp chest is like clotted white jade, half covered and half hidden. A bundle of plain waists, not a grip. A pair of long, moist and well-proportioned legs are exposed, and even the beautiful lotus feet are silently enchanting, sending out a seductive invitation.

The woman seemed to hear the footsteps, and opened her big fox-like eyes, which were covered with water and mist, and fluttering with charm. She knew that the person who went upstairs was Ding Xiao. The relationship between the two is extraordinary, even if her breasts are half-exposed and her jade body is horizontal, she doesn't care at all.

"Jun'e." Ding Xiao called softly.

Chang Jun'e, the seventh-ranked master in Luoyang City, the owner of Yichun Fang, Fengtai Pavilion, and Orchid Wine Shop, and the princess and high-roller who had to call "everyone" when they saw it, was defenseless in front of his sweetheart.

Chang Jun'e pointed to the lotus leaf package in Ding Xiao's hand and said, "What is it?" ”

Ding Xiao was like a big boy showing off the toy in his hand, raised the lotus leaf package in his hand, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this thing is a duck bone sent by Bo Pei, and it is said that it is the best to make soup." But I forgot about it, and brought it up directly, which made people cook. So saying, he turned and went downstairs.

Chang Jun'e propped herself up, sat lazily on the couch, and said, "Let's put it on the table, I'll cook it myself later." He stretched his waist slightly, and asked again: "So, Jun went to see Jiang Bopei in person today?" ”

Ding Xiao put the duck skeleton on the table in front of the couch, sat down next to Chang Jun'e, and replied, "We just broke up, and this is here." ”

Chang Jun'e poked out her face and sniffed at Ding Xiao, complaining: "I smell of alcohol...... How is the gentleman? ”

"He is a downright person, with a righteous heart and no informality. Hearing its past, it is also wise and brave. And ......"

Chang Jun'e leaned on Ding Xiao's shoulder and asked, "What?" ”

"But after all, he is young, and he is easy to be brave in blood and blood."

Ding Xiaokou was wrong, saying that it was "after all", but his expression was tight. Chang Jun'e didn't know what he was thinking, so she poked her finger lightly on Ding Xiao's face, and said with a smile: "In this way, it is somewhat similar to Jun, and it is not in vain that Yi'er is devoted to him, but it is also a good destination." ”

Ding Xiao raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, how could he escape Chang Jun'e's eyes, and asked, "How?" If you give Yi'er to him, what is the difficulty? ”

Ding Xiao put his arm around Chang Jun'e's waist and said, "This person has a servant, his name is Jing Wei, he is a reckless warrior, he treats Bo Pei like a father, and Bo Pei treats him like a brother. Jing Wei has a sister, I look at Bo Pei's meaning, and I intend to include it. This sent Yi'er away, I'm afraid it's not beautiful. ”

Chang Jun'e poked Ding Xiao's face lightly again, and said with slight disgust: "Hmph! It is also common for a husband to have three wives and four concubines, and when the time comes, why is it not beautiful? ”

Ding Xiaogang was about to say, "Yes." Suddenly, there was a desire to survive, and he reacted and said: "A man's dedication is a beautiful thing." There is no urgency in this matter for the time being, and there is no urgency. As he spoke, he looked at Chang Jun'e affectionately, "I'm here, but I have an urgent matter, so I have to do it at this time." ”

"Huh?" Chang Jun'e raised her head and asked pretending to be puzzled, "But what is there to do?" ”

Ding Xiao hugged Chang Jun'e firmly and pressed her down on the couch. whispered in her ear: "Bi Cai Gexi, not seen for a day, like March!" Would you like to relieve my lovesickness? ”

Chang Jun'e was pressed under Ding Xiao, her eyes were like silk, and she also leaned on Ding Xiao's ear, her lips gently rubbed Ding Xiao's earlobe, squeamish as silk, she breathed Ruolan, and said softly: "How are you treated?" ”

Ding Xiao can make perfect, one hand behind his back through the outer clothes to gently untie Chang Jun'e's heart, and at the same time free hand loosened her bun, and said affectionately: "What does Jun'e think? ”

Chang Jun'e forced a smile, pushed Ding Xiao away, tied her heart clothes, and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate today, the slave family has a menstrual affair. As he spoke, he got up and left the couch and picked up the duck skeleton on the case, "I'll stay here tonight, and I'll go to make soup to replenish my qi and blood." ”

Ding Xiao looked at the back of Chang Jun'e going downstairs and leaving, holding her chin with her hand, looking loveless, and said weakly: "Whatever you want, whatever you ......"

The next morning, as soon as Ding Xiao woke up, he saw that Chang Jun'e had already gotten up and dressed up.

Chang Jun'e brought over a pot of hot soup and two water cups, and handed Ding Xiaoyi a famous thorn. Ding Xiao took the famous thorn and took a look, it turned out that it was invited by Jin Cao Peng and Deng Wen, and invited him to the house for a banquet at noon.

"Early in the morning, Deng Caolu sent someone to the house to send a famous assassin for nothing, and knowing that you were not there, he hurriedly sent it here."

Ding Xiao was still lying on the couch, shook his name, and asked Chang Jun'e: "Jun'e, Deng Caopeng invited me to come over, go?" Or not? ”

Chang Jun'e made two cups of hot soup, handed Ding Xiao a cup, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" "Hot soup is hot water.

Ding Xiao just woke up, his mouth was a little bitter, he raised his head and drank a sip of hot soup, leaned firmly on the embroidered pillow, and said, "A little Jin Cao Peng, I shouldn't have go." However, at this time, it coincided with the dispute with Jin Cao, and this time may be able to explore its reality. ”

Chang Jun'e actually didn't really want Ding Xiao to go, but it was good to come and see him at this time, and the turmoil in Qingping Lane might be able to ease up a little. It's just that I'm still worried in my heart, I drank two sips of hot soup, and said: "Jun Yan is very true, but the girls of Fengtai Pavilion found out the day before yesterday, that Deng Cao Peng may have a relationship with King Chen, you must be careful when you go, don't be a Hongmen banquet." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ding Xiaohao became angry and said, "What about King Chen?" Don't say it's a Hongmen banquet, even if it's thousands of troops, I'll go! ”

Chang Jun'e made another cup of hot soup and said with a smile: "Say big things again!" ”

"Jun'e," Ding Xiao put away his smile and said solemnly: "This Qingping Alley is extraordinary, and you can't make a mistake." I intend to stop renting the unrented house and transfer some brothers over. If I am not there these days, take care of my life. ”

Chang Jun'e put down the water cup, fell into Ding Xiao's arms, and said: "But it should be like this, the slave family is nearby, and it must be taken care of by a good student." Moreover, your little brother, the slave family will also take care of it! As he spoke, she tactfully tapped a touch on Ding Xiao's cheek.

Ding Xiao cupped Chang Jun'e's cheek, kissed her deeply on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Jun'e knows me!" ”

Chang Jun'e brushed Ding Xiao's hand away, stroked the bun that had just been tied in the morning, and feigned: "Oops, I messed up the bun again!" ”

After breakfast, Ding Xiao went out with his name, led the horse all the way to wander slowly, entered the city from Kaiyang Gate, and arrived at Yongheli at noon. This Yongheli, Guangbu Li and Luoyang luxury land, inhabited by all the ministers and dignitaries, think that he is more than 300 stone gold Cao Peng, can live here, I don't know where the huge wealth comes from.

When he arrived at Deng's house, Deng Wen went out to greet him, and Ding Xiao handed back the famous thorn. The two held hands, talked and laughed and feasted, not like-for-tat opponents, but more like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

When he came to the hall, he took off his sword and sat down again, and exchanged a few words of greeting, Deng Wen said: "With Deng's face, I don't dare to invite Brother Meng Chen to come to the cold house." It's just that a noble man wants to see Brother Meng Chen, so Deng has the courage to ask. ”

Ding Xiaoxin said: "It's really here!" Combined with what Chang Jun'e said, he had guessed that the person who instructed Deng Wen behind the scenes was Chen Wang Liu Chong, and he was silent at the moment, and asked knowingly: "But who is it?" ”

As soon as Ding Xiao's words fell, a person walked out behind the curtain and sat down on the top, it was Chen Wang Liu Chong. Ding Xiao sneered in his heart, pretended to be surprised, and said, "It's His Royal Highness coming." "The mouth is honorific, but it does not mean to salute each other.

Liu Pet didn't mind, just put on a bold posture and said with a smile: "Haha, Ding Mengchen actually recognizes this king!" However, it is not uncommon to say that Meng Chen is a hero of Luoyang, who is in charge of Qingfeng's eyes and ears, has died countless deaths, and is also common with everyone else, and it is common to know the appearance of this king. ”

Dancing girl Chang Jun'e became one of the Eight Tigers of Luoyang as a weak woman, not only because of her skills and financial resources, but also because she used the intelligence network formed by many restaurants and restaurants, and she knew almost everything and everything in Luoyang, from the ministers and nobles to the peddlers and pawns. Liu Pet knew the relationship between Ding Xiao and Chang Jun'e, so he said this.

Ding Xiao just smiled, didn't look at Liu Chong, and said: "His Royal Highness King Chen has won the award, and we are just reckless in the rivers and lakes, and we can't get into the eyes of nobles." ”

"Well," Liu Pet didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Since you know that the rivers and lakes are reckless, and you can't get into the hall of elegance, you need to know the current affairs." ”

Ding Xiao heard Liu Chong's threat, didn't care, and said: "Xiao also advises His Highness, stop irrelevant thoughts, and be okay with each other." ”

Liu Pet's fingers clasped a few cases rhythmically, making a "knock" sound, which seemed to be coercing Ding Xiao, seeing that Ding Xiao was unmoved, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and then said: "I heard that Meng Chen also met a friend in that Qingping Lane, who is the son of Jiang Mengxin, the former assassin of Yuzhou?" ”

"Hehe," Ding Xiao smiled coldly and said, "What does His Highness want?" ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, this king just said it casually." Liu Chong did suddenly remember Jiang Xun, who had lived in Qingping Lane for a few days, and casually mentioned that he didn't plan to take any action against these tenants, "Meng Chen knows that if he resolutely refuses to leave Qingping Lane, he will offend the dignitaries of the court?" ”

"Geometry?"

"Guo Changshi, Captain Sili, Da Honglu, Zhi Jinwu, ...... of the Northern Army"

"And Your Highness!"

Seeing Ding Xiao interrupting his speech, Liu Chong shouted angrily: "So, dare to disobey this king? Liu Chong flicked the sleeves of his robe, stood up and walked to the center of the hall, and continued with his hands: "You are in charge of Qingfeng, covering up the dead, cultivating ears and eyes, colluding with the ministers and the power of Gyeonggi, controlling the market transportation, and selling salt and iron privately. Can you put the Han family law in your eyes? ”

"Hahaha......" Ding Xiao laughed heartily, and then said: "Your Highness is well charged!" ”

"Ding Xiao!" Liu Petji pointed at Ding Xiao and roared: "You think you are powerful, how can you compare to Guo Jie?" Seeing that Ding Xiao just smiled and didn't speak, thinking that he was frightened by his momentum, he changed his slightly soothing tone and continued: "Now that the princess of Wannian has returned to the capital, the Son of Heaven seems to have the intention of establishing a prince. Standing tall and young, what does Meng Chen think? If you choose a good lord, you can be the Zhu family, or even enter the court. If you don't move in the center, or even throw it wrongly, I'm afraid you'll follow in the footsteps of Guo Jie! ”

The Zhu family and Guo Xie are all former Han heroes. One is the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the other is the period of Emperor Xiaowu. The Zhu family has a good heart, although it helped Ji Bu's trip, but he had to die well. Guo Xie was ruthless, although he was protected by Wei Qing and Gongsun Hong, he was finally punished by Emperor Wu.

Liu Chong is forcing Ding Xiao to express his position with the matter of Lichu, if he stands with himself, then the matter of Qingping Lane is naturally not a matter, and after the matter is completed, not only can it die well, but even the marquis is not a difficult thing. If you stand on the wrong team, you will inevitably end up with a bad death, and you don't even have to wait for yourself to gain power. And Liu Pet also left some cleverness, and did not say that he was on the side of the prince Liu Bian and the prince Liu Xie, or that he did not indicate that he wanted to stand on either side of the Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He.

At this point, Ding Xiao was no longer polite, and the anger that he had just endured finally broke out, and after opening a few cases, the red paint cases flew out more than a foot away, crashed into the wall and shattered, only scared Deng Wen on the opposite side and hurriedly hid behind the pillar.

Ding Xiao got up angrily and accused Liu Chong: "The matter of establishing a reserve is the great plan of the country." It's not your turn to beak the vassal king who enjoys the shadow of the ancestors! As he spoke, he picked up the giant sword on the sword screen behind him, habitually held it in his arms, and was about to go out.

Suddenly, the armor was sonorous, the boots rumbled, and dozens of armor soldiers poured out of nowhere outside the hall, armed with swords and swords, and rushed over to surround the hall. There were more than a dozen crossbowmen in the back, holding crossbows, aimed at Ding Xiao.
