Chapter 272: The Angler and the Fish
The long wind howled, pouring on the wooden windows of the streets and alleys of Tiandu, pulling out a beast-like roar.
The red lanterns still hang on the streets, under the eaves, but tonight the streets are empty, there are few pedestrians, and the bustle and bustle of the entire heavenly capital are torn away by the cold wind, and replaced by a touch of slaughter that wanders in the air.
"Du Gongzi. ”
In the Sanqing Pavilion Cabinet Mansion, Li Changshou personally poured Du Chun a cup of sobering tea.
On the palace banquet, Du Chunke was a busy man, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to reuse the Xijing, the son of the head of the Law Enforcement Division and the elder of the Xiling Pavilion...... The future is a big man in the West who covers the sky with one hand, so people keep pouring him wine.
Those guys spoke better than the other, and Du Chun couldn't shirk it, because the cultivation realm was too low, and he couldn't sober up with starlight, and in the end, he was drunk.
Dewey and Ho Wei were both busy people.
This unsuccessful son has been handed over to Li Changshou to take care of these days, and after the palace banquet, Xiao Ge Lao sent a carriage to send Du Chun to his mansion.
I don't know what was arranged after the end, half an hour later, Li Changshou was able to return home, and when he returned home, he saw this Du Gongzi drunk into a puddle of mud, holding a bare old locust tree at the door, and kept chanting Miss Xu Miss Xu in his mouth...... Du Chun was beaten so badly on Luliu Street, and he was able to recuperate from his injuries so peacefully, just to be able to attend the palace banquet and see Xu Qingyan in the East Chamber again.
And this time he saw it as he wished.
It's just that Miss Xu has never looked at him squarely.
From beginning to end, Xu Qingyan sat quietly at the palace banquet, either bowing his head and drinking in small sips, or echoing the people in the hall to say a few words...... No more rhetoric, and all other than that, she will only cast on one person.
"Fuck you...... Ning Yi. ”
Du Chun scolded vaguely, distanced himself from the old locust tree, and kicked it hard, the old tree did not move, and Du Chun fell heavily on the ground, covered in snow and mud.
Du Chun, who was sitting on the ground, was very decadent, his eyes were scattered, the old locust tree faintly transformed into a human figure, and the vague black-robed young man at the palace banquet, Ning Yi's face gradually blurred, and gradually overlapped with the person who beat him on Green Willow Street......
"You dare to hit me, surnamed Ning, I'll kill you!" Du Chun howled, flew and kicked again, the old tree trembled slightly, and a certain waste boy who had not cultivated was staggered two steps, and he was about to sit on the ground with a buttocks, and was caught by a strong arm.
"Du Gongzi, drink tea. Li Changshou smiled and looked at this interesting scene.
Du Chun said angrily: "Longevity, if you let me go, I will kill this surnamed Ning, and I will avenge the revenge of Luliu Street!"
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows slightly.
The ...... of Willow Street
On that day, he sent someone to investigate, and found that there was no one in the imperial city at all, and the two young men in the image of Tongtianzhu were extremely beautiful, quite like Xu Qingyan in the palace, but the man had an ordinary face. The entire Great Sui's life star is recorded in the Red Breeze River case file, except for the Holy Mountain Tianjiao, where did such a young life star powerhouse come from?
Either that, it's a talisman disguise.
Li Changshou tugged at Du Chun's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Drink the tea and sober up." ”
The word sobering wine used the Xinghui method, which seemed to have some kind of magic, and the drunken Du Chun immediately stopped making a fuss, took the teacup, and drank the sobering tea in one go.
Li Changshou came to the door and explained to his attendants.
"On the day of the investigation of Luliu Street, Xu Qingyan of the East Chamber reported his whereabouts in the palace. Check Ning Yi of the Sword Marquis Mansion again. He didn't speak in a hurry, and said, "Take my waist card to check, be fast." ”
Turning back, Du Chun is no longer making trouble.
Du Gongzi, who had sobered up, looked extremely annoyed, sat in the court, rubbed his forehead, and hissed, "Brother Li, I drank too much...... I didn't make any jokes before, did you?"
Li Changshou smiled in his heart, but on the surface, he poured another cup of stomach-warming tea for Du Chun, pushed it over, and asked, "Du Gongzi never forgets Xu Qingyan, is this a joke?"
Du Chun's eyes were gloomy.
He silently clenched his fists, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can see it...... That Miss Xu didn't recognize me, and she had someone she liked. ”
Li Changshou said lightly: "So?"
Du Chun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "These days, thank you Brother Li for taking care of me, Du has caused you too much trouble, my father is right, I can't be a heroic man like Brother Li, I still honestly travel the mountains and rivers...... When His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday passed, Du left Tiandu. ”
Li Changshou looked calm and did not open his mouth to respond.
Du Chun hurriedly said: "Brother Li is good to Du, Du remembers it in his heart, my father and my mother have a high opinion of you, and the trouble of the Western Realm and the Taoist Sect is ...... Presumably not a hassle. ”
Li Changshou smiled, "What is this called? Personal friendship, don't be linked to those interests...... It's just that Du Gongzi really wants to leave Tiandu and leave the beauties alone?"
Du Chun was stunned.
"What do you mean...... What does it mean to ignore the beauty?" Du Chun held the teacup with ten fingers, and was stunned for a moment.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "I have discussed with Elder He Weige, and it won't be long before I can ask for 'Xu Qingyan' from His Royal Highness." ”
Du Chun was struck by lightning.
"It's just that if Du Gongzi doesn't want it, this matter will naturally be stopped. Li Changshou lightly threw a bait and fell into the star-shrouded fish pond outside the court, the cold wind tore outside the Tiandu City, but he couldn't enter this mansion.
A pool of spring water rippled in the fish pond, and when the ripples gradually faded, Du Chun reacted: "Brother Li, what does this mean, what does this mean?!"
Li Changshou smiled and looked at the small pool, under his own starlight wrapping, the bait condensed but did not disperse, and soon a big fish took the bait, he twisted his fingers, there seemed to be a silver line in the void, as he raised his arm, the big fish that bit the bait was caught, and the water in the fish pond boiled, and the big fish was thrown up and rolled in the air.
Du Chun, who was unaware of the meaning of this move, was very surprised when he saw this scene, clapped his hands, and hurriedly flattered: "Elder Li Dage, don't sell Guanzi." ”
There was a fish pond on the left and right sides of the pavilion, and Li Changshou raised his arm to hook it, but instead of fishing the fish on land, he threw it from the left fish pond to the right.
He took a deep breath, looked at Du Chun, and said slowly: "What Mr. He Wei means is that the Xiling cabinet is revived, and everything is prosperous, His Royal Highness has the country and the society in his heart, if Xiling can have his left arm and right arm all day long, then begging for a woman is just a good-looking caged bird...... Naturally, this is not a problem. ”
Du Chun was in a trance for a moment, and muttered, "My mother is willing to speak to His Royal Highness for me?" What about my father?"
Li Changshou smiled, "This matter, naturally, you can't let Ling Zun know...... Otherwise, what the ending is, Du Gongzi can also imagine it. ”
Du Chun was beaten all over
Shivering, he thought of the way Dewey looked at him after the accident on Green Willow Street that day, he had been afraid of the father of the head of the law enforcement department since he was a child.
He knew very well that his father was a strict enforcer of the precepts, and he would never allow the use of real power to ask His Highness for tricks...... I won't get used to myself.
"You don't have to worry, Mr. Dewey doesn't know about this, and it was Mr. He Wei and I who have been discussing it from beginning to end. Li Changshou was leisurely and took a sip of tea, "But Du Gongzi, you can make decisions about your own life." ”
"I?
Du Chun looked at Li Changshou, a friend whose magical powers have been evident everywhere since he got acquainted, he seemed to hear a joke, shook his head and said: "Brother Li, you also know that I can't do my own business." If you do something wrong, my father will be implicated. ”
Li Changshou smiled and asked, "What if you have power in your own hands?"
Du Chun looked at this little pavilion elder in surprise.
Li Changshou was kind and seductive, and said with a smile: "Today, the prince's newly established Lotus Pavilion Master, Cao Ran, have you seen it?"
Du Chun nodded.
"Real power, false position. Li Changshou said softly: "I also have such a position under my hands...... Taihe Palace. ”
Over there in the fish pond, there seems to be something fluttering.
The courtyard fell into a brief silence.
"Du Gongzi will become the palace master of Taihe Palace in the future. Li Changshou chuckled and threw an olive branch, "Don't worry about the management of Taihe Palace, I'll be in charge of Taihe, you only need to have the identity of the master of Taihe Palace, you don't have to worry about the family background, and you can open your mouth to Your Highness, that canary...... Naturally, it will be able to come. ”
A slight pause.
"Is this considered to be your own decision?"
Li Changshou smiled and stared into Du Chun's eyes.
The fluttering sound on the other side of the pool was getting louder and louder.
Du Chun's voice was very low, and he asked, "Taihe Palace Master, how can you be?"
"Xuanjing's father is dead, and my mother is still in my hands. After the feast, I gave her a copper coin, which was a fragment of a pendant from the woman's body. Li Changshou listened to the fierce struggle in the fish pond and said with a smile: "Tonight, Xuanjing will be outside the Tiandu City, the ancient city of Rakshasa, and deliver the Taihe edict to me...... After that, I need a suitable person to be the master of Taihe Palace. ”
Du Chun stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, muttering, "Me?"
Li Changshou nodded and responded firmly: "You." No one is more suitable than you. ”
He is in a high position in the Taihe Palace...... Do your part for your parents...... personally asked His Highness for Xu Qingyan...... A series of images flickered, trembled, and turned into electricity in Du Chun's mind.
After a brief silence.
Du Chun asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother Li, can you guarantee that Xuanjing will take the bait?"
The silence of the night was broken by the voice.
Li Changshou, who was sitting in a precarious position, did not make the slightest movement, just leaned back slightly, and snapped his fingers at the same time.
"Click".
The fish pond that was constantly struggling, suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air, a giant salamander ten times larger than the previous big fish, because the big fish swallowed the previous big fish, accidentally ate the hook, at this moment the silver light flashed in the mouth, broke the air and went ashore, a strand of silk around the eaves, the empty fishing rod propped up, the giant salamander hung in the air, struggling wildly, but could not move.
"Du Gongzi. Li Changshou smiled: "Look, it's already taken the bait." ”
