Chapter 11: Angry at the crown
Huai Zui opened the letter, and the dense small characters were enough to write two pages, but in the end, he didn't know what to express.
He patiently read it a few more times, still puzzled.
Thinking of someone's prank, he crumpled the letter and was about to throw it away, when his eyes fell on the cover again, and he hesitated to reopen it and stuff it into his arms.
As soon as I entered the West Market, I saw an attic covered in red and hung colors, and the plaque hanging in the middle was written on the three big characters of "Yuxiang Building".
"Ouch, distinguished guest, isn't this our drunken adult!" The old bustard of Yuxianglou shook the beauty fan and twisted his slender waist and walked over.
Huai Zui glanced at the graceful dancing girl who was spinning at the door, and said to the old bustard: "Fairy Gu, you look good today." ”
The old bustard hid his face and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of the slave family, don't make fun of the slave family, let's keep these words and talk to the girls." With that, she led Huai into a partition room on the second floor.
"Come on, come on, look at this, this is our red plum, how delicate this little face is...... Look at this one again, Sango, this chest, this waist, this leg......"
The women dressed in fancy clothes stood in a row waiting to be selected, and when the drunken gaze swept over them in turn, some were shy and evasive, and some seduced and provoked......
Huai Zui took out a silver ingot and threw it to the old bustard, and said, "Fairy Gu, I won't be polite to you anymore, what about Lianniang?" ”
The silver ingot in the bustard's hand fell to the ground, and she hurriedly bent down to pick it up: "Ah, Zhuan Niang, she just played the song and rested, and she will come in a while." ”
"What time is a moment?"
The bustard tried to change the subject, "My lord, why don't you find a ...... first?"
Huai Zui sensed the clues, slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Fairy Gu, I remember that you have received a monthly payment." How? Do you still earn double shares? ”
"No, my lord, the slave family doesn't want to." The old bustard was frightened, and his face with heavy rouge was deformed by fear, "Yes...... It's that person, the slave family really can't afford to offend. ”
"Where is she?" Huai drunk was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked directly.
Xu was frightened by him, and Hongmei pointed to the partition house with a suspension.
Huai Zui took the silver ingot in the old bustard's hand and stuffed it to Hongmei, glared at the old bustard, and strode towards the next room, completely ignoring the old bustard's trembling voice from behind:
"Your Excellency, you can't afford to mess with him."
As soon as Huai Zui walked to the door, he heard a woman's sobbing sound, and the anger in his heart was unbearable, and he kicked the door open.
Before he could see what was going on in the room, a sword stabbed at him, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, kicked the railing and did a somersault, and landed firmly behind the man.
The man reacted very quickly, his body did not move, he swung his sword with his backhand, and dodged drunkenly.
He had just jumped to his feet, clasped his arms together and slammed into the man's wrist to make him release his sword, but his arms were numb as if they had been hit on a hard object.
"Li Li." There was a sound of applause from inside.
Li Li? Huai Zui moved his arms, as if he was the commander of the Yulin Wei beside the emperor, how could he be here? Could it be that the emperor is also there?
Li Li's sword blade had already reached Huai Zui's neck, and he was afraid that he would see blood if he went any further.
Huai drunk immediately put on a smiling face, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very correct: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the big commander ...... you."
"Shut up and get in."
"Ah, yes, sir."
Huai drunk under Li Li's watchful eye, slowly moved into the room, and almost screamed when he saw the golden crown Xuanfu man sitting there.
Li Li struck him on the knee with the hilt of his sword and ordered: "Bold assassin, report your name quickly." ”
How did I become an Assassin again? Huai drunk scolded in his heart, but there was a humble look on his face. He knelt there and saluted in a proper manner: "The grass people are determined by Cheng, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Xiao Yongqing nodded, raising his hand to signal him to stand up.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"Did Your Highness let you speak?" Li Qi struck Huai Zui in the back with the hilt of his sword again.
You didn't know where he was when I met him! Huai Zui was very dissatisfied with Li Li's attitude, but he could only talk in his heart.
Xiao Yongqing glanced at Huai Zui, with an indifferent look in his eyes, he took a sip of tea and said, "Come out, it's okay outside." ”
A woman in green clothes walked out from behind the barrier with a pipa in her arms, and she was extremely good-looking.
The dark blue hair was half-scattered and curled into a beautiful arc, Qianqian's thin hands were as white and flawless as jade, and her face was delicate as if it had been painted, and any jewel was eclipsed in front of her. This is a kind of dusty beauty, a beauty that makes people dare not think about it at all.
Even so, the first time Huai was drunk still fell on the red silk on her eyes, and she didn't feel much in her heart.
Zhuan Niang found the direction and walked in front of Xiao Yongqing, curtsy and said: "The slave family is a little out of control, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me." ”
"I hope you will think about what this king said."
"The slave family is just a courtesan in Yuxianglou, and it is a great honor to be able to help His Highness. As for the rest, I won't bother His Highness about it. Zhuan Niang always had a smile on her face, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yongqing no longer insisted, he sighed, and said with a slight pause: "Thank you, Zhuanniang." ”
Li Li also hugged his fist and thanked Zhu Niang, and then asked Xiao Yongqing: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what should you do with this assassin?" ”
"You go and report the current situation to your father first, as for this person......" Xiao Yongqing walked up to Huai Zui and glanced at him, "When this king goes back in a while, take it directly to the official mansion." ”
"Your Highness, can you ......" Li Li hesitated a little.
"What? This king's martial arts are not necessarily inferior to yours. Xiao Yongqing patted Li Li's shoulder.
"That's not what Wechen meant."
"Okay, go back quickly, it's your job to protect your father."
"Yes, Weichen retired."
As soon as Li Li's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Huai Zui immediately sat down on the cushion and said angrily: "Bai Chen, you can be an official." ”
"Get out of the way."
Huai drunk reluctantly moved the mat aside, consciously picked up the pot on the table and poured a cup of tea, and said: "But, as a friend, I still want to condemn you, there are beautiful wives in the family, why are you still running to this kind of fireworks place?" ”
Xiao Yongqing didn't answer Huai's drunken question, but said to Zhuan Niang: "Zhuan Niang, you should step back first." ”
Huai drunk and saw Zhu Niang leave, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yongqing looking at himself with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "You ...... Don't think about it, I just feel sorry for such a good woman who can't see it. ”
"Well, that's exactly what the bustard here said." Xiao Yongqing shook the teacup, "She said, there is a silly boy who comes to send things to Zhuan Niang if he has nothing to do, and he doesn't do anything, at most he listens to her play small songs, and he just flips through those two or three songs." ”
Huai Zui scratched his head, and said poorly: "Bai Chen, do you like me, why do you stare at me every day." ”
Xiao Yongqing ignored his sarcasm, and continued to say slowly: "What about these tunes, they are all Ninghua minor keys, do you say they are interesting?" ”
Huai Zui opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.
"Who is she?"
"Loved ones." Huai Zui said without the slightest hesitation.
Xiao Yongqing's expression relaxed: "I can help her redeem herself, how about you help me do something?" ”
