Xu Mingyuan smiled and slapped Li Mu's outstretched hand, shook his head and said, "There have been things at night recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the night outside tonight, why don't you go to this Pingkang Fang now?" ”

"Visiting the Qinglou in broad daylight, isn't that right?" Li Mu's face was embarrassed, but after a while, he changed to an awe-inspiring color, and said with great generosity: "That's it, today I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." ”

Xu Mingyuan smiled and shook his head, this young master of the world's No. 1 Qian Zhuang has such a temperament, if he lets those who want to slap him know, I don't know if he will be shocked by his big teeth.

The four of them walked towards the street, and there were a few respectful send-offs at the door behind them, Xu Mingyuan glanced back, but it was the king of Xiang, Yanhong, and a tall old man wearing purple clothes, white beard, and a rosacea who walked out of the door.

Li Mu followed Xu Mingyuan's gaze and glanced back, lightly bumped Xu Mingyuan with his elbow, hooked Yi's shoulder and walked forward.

Xu Mingyuan nodded, followed the three of them, and walked forward along the snow trail that was trampled by pedestrians on the side of the street.

King Xiang, who had just walked out of Chunfeng Tower, and the tall old man beside him were talking with a smile, looking at the backs of Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they returned to normal again, and continued to talk to the old man beside him.

"Who is that man?" Xu Mingyuan and the others stayed away from Chunfeng Tower, and Xu Mingyuan asked softly.

"If I guessed correctly, it should be Liang Qian, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, who just heard the news that he entered Chang'an to report on his work a few days ago, but I didn't expect to go out to drink with King Xiang today." Li Mu said softly without moving.

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly, and didn't ask again, this Xiangwang's methods are indeed not comparable to Princess Yiyuan. But the dignified King Xiang, when he got together with a Jiedu envoy who held military power, and it was in the case that the eldest prince had just been assassinated, was he not afraid of arousing the suspicion of His Majesty the Emperor?

"King Xiang once lived in the Liang Jiedu Mansion for a while. It's no secret that the two have a deep affection for each other. As if seeing Xu Mingyuan's puzzlement, Li Mu whispered again.

The group of four walked along the wide street of Pingkangfang, Xu Mingyuan didn't have anything to buy, but he bought a few delicate things, and he planned to give them to Qi Yueru without looking at them.

Li Mu saw this. Along the way, there was no shortage of the box of rouge and the jasper hairpin. Yi was also unwilling to be bullied, and brought out Lan Yuechan to fight back, and the two of them walked around all the way, which was interesting.

Mu Yunfan walked beside Xu Mingyuan, asked Xu Mingyuan a few words from time to time, and after getting the answer, he frowned and thought, and only after thinking about it was to ask the next question, but he was very studious.

After walking around, I went back to the Chunfeng Building. The four of them were also separated, Li Mu would send Mu Yunfan back, while Xu Mingyuan would go back with Yi.

Li Mu didn't ask Xu Mingyuan much what he was going to do at night, but just said that when he had time in the future, he would definitely take him to the Yicui Building for a chic walk.

"There is nowhere to smash the silver, life is really lonely......" Li Mu got into the carriage, waved his hand at Xu Mingyuan and Yi, and got into the carriage.

Xu Mingyuan and Yi went straight back to Qi Mansion. Yi stood in the doorway, holding those few things in his hands. His face was red and white, but he couldn't step into the door.

In the end, Xu Mingyuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged him into the house and directly into the living room. Qi Yueru was holding a book, sitting on a chair in the living room, looking at Xu Mingyuan with some surprise. It's also a little easy to twist.

"Yueru, he said he had something for you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile, patted Yi's shoulder again, and walked straight to the backyard.

In the living room, Qi Yueru put down the book in her hand. Looking at Yi with interest, who lowered his head slightly and pinned his hand behind him, he chuckled and asked, "What do you want for me?" ”

"That's it, it's ......" Yi looked up at Qi Yueru, his face showed a little nervousness, gritted his teeth, and directly put the cloth bag in his hand on the coffee table next to Qi Yueru, and walked quickly towards the backyard, saying as he walked: "Xiao Xu said that the deer he brought the day before yesterday hasn't been brought out yet, I'll help him......"

Qi Yueru glanced at Yi's back, her eyes were full of smiles, she reached out and took the cloth bag, untied the slipknot on it, and entered it with a box of rouge and a jasper hairpin.

Qi Yueru picked up the jasper hairpin, looked at the delicate peony engraved on it, and gestured it on her head, looking very like.

After a while, he opened the box of Yurong Fang Rouge, sniffed it lightly, stretched out his finger and hooked it a little, wiped it on his face, and nodded with a smile.

In the backyard kitchen, when he went out, Xu Mingyuan asked Xiao Xia to boil a big pot of boiling water at noon, although this deer is not big, it is not something that Xiao Xia and a little girl can handle.

With Yi's help, a deer was quickly cleaned up, it only snowed yesterday, and the weather was so cold, so there was no need to worry about the meat spoiling.

In the evening, Xu Mingyuan stayed to eat, and personally cooked a pot of braised venison, which attracted praise from the table, and even Qi Yueru had a great appetite and ate half a bowl of rice.

After eating, it was already dark, Xu Mingyuan changed his clothes, took the account book and more than 1,000 taels of silver, and followed Yi to Yuntai Division in a carriage. The silver is a tenth of the account received during this time.

Yi first took Xu Mingyuan to enter the Yuntai Division from the gate last time, and after Xu Mingyuan entered the house, he returned and drove the carriage in.

With the previous two experiences, Xu Mingyuan felt less oppressive about this dim room, and he was not as vigilant as he was for the blind old man.

Chen Qiao asked Xu Mingyuan to put the account book and the silver on the table, and he didn't look at it. Xu Mingyuan was not very surprised by this, after all, even Wuya could deduce the relationship between Zhang Liang, the king of Changping County, Jing Zhaoyin, and King Xiang, and Chen Qiao, the controller of Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, was even clearer when he thought about it.

Chen Qiao asked Xu Mingyuan a few words about debt collection, but he didn't delve into it, just talked about some things that he and Yi didn't do well, and told him what he should pay attention to next time.

He was like a master, pointing out Xu Mingyuan's mistakes one by one, and then asking him to reflect on himself and how to do it the next time he encountered it.

Xu Mingyuan listened carefully, asking a word or two about his doubts from time to time, and after listening, he became clear about a lot of things.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Qiao raised his hand at Xu Mingyuan, signaling that he could go.

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly and walked towards the door.

"I heard that Miss Ru is much better, I thank you for Xiao Xu." Chen Qiao's voice sounded behind him, and Xu Mingyuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Qin Zhaoyu's matter Xu Mingyuan specially told Yi not to tell anyone, it was about Qi Yueru, and Yi would definitely not be ambiguous. But now that Chen Qiao said this, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but be a little alert, I am afraid that his every move is under Chen Qiao's surveillance.

"I didn't expect Old Man Qin to hide under my nose, but you don't have to worry, this old man dares to hide here, just knowing that I won't trouble him." Chen Qiao said unhurriedly.

Xu Mingyuan nodded, was silent for a while, still didn't speak, and walked towards the door.
