Chapter Seventy-Eight: Zhao Ziqian found Yi Xiangxiang
At the beginning of the child, Yi Xiangxiang met Tan Pengtao in Meihuanyuan.
Tan Pengtao was wearing an indigo robe, and his delicate face was a little elegant. Although he is locked up in the Huanxi Pavilion these days, he is not embarrassed, and even at this time he is still holding a bamboo folding fan in his hand.
Suddenly being set up by a woman out of the Joy Pavilion, and then jumping to another strange place, Tan Pengtao was originally a little scared, until he saw that the person in front of him was just a little girl, and he relaxed.
"Girl, let me go, I really don't know anything about the Mo family." Tan Pengtao saw that the people around him were looking at the little girl in front of him, so he opened his mouth and said to her.
Although he didn't know what this place was, these people had been asking him about the Mo family recently, because he didn't wait for the little girl to ask, so he said he didn't know.
Yi Xiangxiang was not in a hurry to ask Tan Pengtao, but instructed Linghua to serve snacks and tea: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't know, sit down and eat some snacks." Linghua, make a basin of water for Tan Gongzi to clean his hands. ”
After Linghua put down the pastry, she went to fetch a basin of water for Tan Pengtao and brought it to him.
Linghua? Could it be the flower girl of Mei Huan Yuan? Tan Pengtao has been in Kyoto for many years, and he knows that there is a Linghua girl in Meihuan Yuan who plays chess with the four highnesses today, and His Royal Highness praises her superb chess skills and intelligence.
But how could Linghua girl do all this work of serving tea and pouring water? Tan Pengtao was a little afraid to confirm his guess.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at Tan Pengtao's suspicious expression, and then grabbed a piece of red bean cake and ate it with relish. Her actions made the dragon girl and others next to her sigh in their hearts, sure enough, it was the young lady who wanted to eat it herself!
Seeing that Tan Pengtao finished washing his hands, Yi Xiangxiang immediately said: "Sit down, sit down!" ”
"You...... I ......" Tan Pengtao didn't know what Yi Xiangxiang meant, so he just sat down and didn't use snacks and tea.
Yi Xiangxiang ate by herself, which made Tan Pengtao a little nervous. He pinched the fan in his hand, and looked at Yi Xiangxiang on it waiting for her question.
And it wasn't until Yi Xiangxiang finished eating a piece of pastry slowly and used half a cup of tea that she spoke.
"I know don't ask...... Oh, it should be Mo Zhaoxi, I know he told you to keep it a secret from the others. It's okay, I won't force you, let's just sit and drink tea, and then wait for the time to go together to collect Mo Zhaoxi's body. He followed me, and I can't let him go wild with a corpse. Yi Xiangxiang smiled coldly, and there was no trace of warmth in her words.
Tan Pengtao was even more nervous, these people had arrested him for almost three months, and they didn't torture him or persecute him, so it can be seen that they are not bad people. That's why, a while ago, he would be excited and say that it was the prince's mansion. But after discovering that he had lost his words, he kept silent and said no more, because he was still afraid that these people were enemies. But he didn't expect to see the surviving son of the Mo family later, and only then did he determine that this group of people was friends and not enemies. It's just that after Mo Gongzi saw him, he asked him not to reveal the Mo family's affairs back then to anyone, although he felt strange, but he also agreed.
Tan Pengtao, the son of the Mo family, knew about the survival of Mo Zhaoxi, and heard that he was kidnapped by the thieves of Qishanzhai back then, and then escaped and was rescued by the Zhizhou family in Tongzhou, but since then Mo Zhaoxi has lost his trace. Tan Pengtao didn't have the ability to look for it, but he always felt that Mo Gongzi would go back to Kyoto so that he could wait in Kyoto all the time.
"What Zombie Wilderness...... What are you talking nonsense? Tan Pengtao was affected by Yi Xiangxiang's words, and this tension naturally showed on his face.
Yi Xiangxiang took a sip of tea and said, "Do you think I don't know that Mo Zhaoxi went to the Prince's Mansion?" If you tell Mo Zhaoxi who his enemy is, everyone can guess that he is going to take revenge! But he is single-handed, his arms can't twist his thighs, isn't he looking for death? Eh, speaking of which, we may not be able to receive the whole corpse, and if the assassin royal is captured alive, the five horses will be lightly divided. ”
She didn't mean to scare Tan Pengtao, but told him the seriousness of the matter. Even ordinary people knew that offending the royal family was a capital offense, let alone assassination. Tan Pengtao also knew that if the son of the Mo family was really taken down, there would definitely be no hope of survival.
Tan Pengtao said to Yi Xiangxiang while hearing the psychological hints he said: "Mo Gongzi is now strong in martial arts, he will be fine!" ”
Yi Xiangxiang smiled, and then shook her head helplessly and said, "What martial arts do you know as a scholar?" Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the evil tiger is still afraid of wolves! Even if there are no guards with high martial arts skills who can take people down, then all the soldiers of the prince's mansion will be on it, and the wheel battle can exhaust Mo Zhaoxi to death! ”
And which prince's mansion didn't secretly cultivate secret guards? If you take out a few martial arts skills at random, you can surround Mo Wen to death.
"But Master Mo won't let me tell you! I have answered him, and a gentleman should keep his word. Tan Pengtao was still hesitating.
"Smack!" A teacup smashed in front of him, so frightened that he even dropped his fan.
"You pedantic fool! There is only Mo Zhaoxi left in the Mo family, if he dies, you Tan Pengtao are worthy of the grace of Scholar Mo to support you? "Yi Xiangxiang hates people like Tan Pengtao the most, dead brains, a tendon!
But if it weren't for him, he wouldn't stay in Kyoto, Mo Zhaoxi might not know the truth in his life, Yi Xiangxiang couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this. In the early days of the fall of the Mo family, there were still people who were unhappy, but now a few years later, no one wants to seek any justice for the Mo family. Even the literati who criticized Qishanzhai back then had long forgotten that there was a Mo family, right? Tan Pengtao is a rare person.
Tan Pengtao's face was flushed and he was at a loss: "Shouldn't I tell him?" I...... This...... So what to do? I've already told him......"
He and Mo Zhaoxi's father, Mo Shaohui, are old friends, and the two often talk about wine. So when he saw Mo Zhaoxi, he couldn't wait to pour everything on him, and now he has already said everything he knows.
Yi Xiangxiang pressed her temples and asked, "Tell me which prince it is first!" ”
"Second prince, it's the second prince! The tragedy of the Mo family was indirectly caused by the second prince's faction, and in order to promote Zuo Miao, they coerced the Mo University Scholar to resign and retire! Tan Pengtao hurriedly answered Yi Xiangxiang's question.
Sure enough, as Yi Xiangxiang guessed before, this matter really started because of the position of the first assistant!
Yi Xiangxiang pondered when she heard this, and when she looked up again, she said to the dragon girl: "You take the fox fairy and the yaksha to the vicinity of the Second Prince's Mansion to keep an eye on it first, and after seeing Mo Wen, you will tie me back!" Tell him that I will consider the matter of revenge, we have endured Qishanzhai for five years, and it is not a moment and a half! ”
In fact, Yi Xiangxiang was even more worried that Mo Wen had rushed into the Second Prince's Mansion to assassinate him desperately, and only hoped that everything had not reached the point of no return. The second prince is a difficult bone to gnaw, and it can't be torn off by biting it like this! Mo asked if he didn't want to die, but she couldn't let him really die.
The dragon girl didn't agree with Yi Xiangxiang's words, she said: "Miss, I don't worry about no one around you, I'll let the fox fairy stay and take care of you." ”
Although Mei Huan Yuan is also Yi Xiangxiang's territory, there are only some thugs here, and if something big happens, Yi Xiangxiang can't be protected at all.
"It's okay, no one is staring at Mei Huanyuan now. And knowing that I came to Kyoto, don't ask for fear that if I stop it, it will only be a quick solution. I'm worried that he's already sneaking in at this time, so you have to be careful and bring him out for me! Yi Xiangxiang insisted on her decision.
Tan Pengtao, who was next to him, heard the words Mei Huanyuan, and only then did he realize that the person who had just served him tea and water was really a famous Linghua girl! What is the origin of the person in front of you? It seems that he is still the master of Mo Gongzi? What are the many subordinates of this little girl at a young age, which noble daughter is it? Tan Pengtao secretly guessed.
"But now......" The dragon girl had to say something, Linghua came over and said: "Lord Protector, don't worry, today's Mei Huan Yuan has the son of a family in Kyoto to rely on, and the four princes have also praised Mei Huan Yuan, so no one will be easily embarrassed." Although it is the busiest time for Mei Huan Yuan, no one will easily come up above the fourth floor. ”
Now it is after the beginning of the child, and it is naturally the time when Meihuanyuan has the most guests. However, the girls on the third and fourth floors are all showers, and the chess community on the fourth floor is not open to the public at night, so there will be no guests coming up.
Yi Xiangxiang saw that the dragon girl was still hesitating, so she said: "Hurry up, you guys arrive a moment early, don't ask, you will have a moment of vitality!" ”
The dragon girl couldn't influence Yi Xiangxiang's decision at the moment, so she left Meihuanyuan with the fox fairy and Yasha. Because they were afraid that there would be too many people, the target would be too big, so they decided not to take the other people who were at the helm of the Huanxi Pavilion as assistants. After all, not all of them are good, and if you take them with you, you may become a burden when you escape.
And after a cup of tea, Yi Xiangxiang regretted her decision very much, or she should have hidden it herself, because Zhao Ziqian appeared in Meihuanyuan.
Zhao Ziqian jumped in from the window, easily lit Linghua's acupoint, and then threw Tan Pengtao, who was sitting on the chair, to the ground, and then sat down and stared at Yi Xiangxiang next to him.
Yi Xiangxiang was really stunned, she just got down from the top and sat on the circle chair next to Tan Pengtao, wanting to get close to Tan Pengtao and prepare to listen to him tell the story of the Mo family, but Tan Pengtao was thrown away by Zhao Ziqian.
"You, you, you ......" Yi Xiangxiang admitted, stuttering is humiliating.
What she wanted to ask was, "Why are you here?" It's just that because he was too shocked, it became "you, you, you ......" For Zhao Ziqian's sudden appearance, Yi Xiangxiang was really surprised!
"Do you know that you made the main hall easy to find for a while? I didn't expect you to visit the flower house here! What kind of system does it become for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room! Zhao Ziqian looked at Yi Xiangxiang coldly.
He has been searching for news of Yi Xiangxiang these days, for fear that something will happen to this person! But I didn't expect her to sit so close to the same man in the room with a lonely man and a widow in Mei Huan Yuan!
Linghua: Huh? Am I not human? She can only slander in her heart.
What the? What the heck? Visiting the flower house? Yi Xiangxiang is also full of black lines in her head.
Wrong! It's easy to find for a while?? How did he find it? Oh! It turned out that he was staring at Huanxi Pavilion not looking for trouble, but looking for himself!
Yi Xiangxiang pointed at Zhao Ziqian in surprise when she thought of this: "You actually know my identity!" How do you know? ”
She did a good job of secrecy, and she didn't even know anything about Huanxi Pavilion in front of Zhao Ziqian, how did this guy know about it? Yi Xiangxiang was puzzled!
Zhao Ziqian snorted coldly: "What about the blood jade? ”
Blood jade?
Oh! Blood Jade!
"So you're the one who broke into my Colorful Valley that day! Damn it! So you already knew my identity? But keep pretending not to know? Zhao Ziqian! You're too good at it, aren't you? Yi Xiangxiang now feels that there are thousands of alpacas galloping in her heart.
Tan Pengtao, who was groaning on the ground, wanted to get up and ask why someone threw him, but when he heard the little girl shouting the words "Zhao Ziqian", he didn't dare to move in an instant.
He has been an official, and he has been in Kyoto for so many years, the name Zhao Ziqian is like thunder! Zhao Ziqian, the current Seven Princes of the Li Dynasty, is the master of the jade-faced Shura! Where did he dare to ask why he threw him!
Yi Xiangxiang didn't care about this, she was very angry when she thought that all the plays she was acting in were seen through, and she only heard her angrily say to Zhao Ziqian: "You liar, get out of the old lady!" ”
Linghua has been in Kyoto for a while, and most of the dignitaries and dignitaries she has come into contact with have even been invited to the banquet of the nobles of the family, she has seen Zhao Ziqian, and knows that he is the current Royal Highness of the Seventh Prince. After she heard her young lady's words, she was really afraid that the young lady would be pinched to death by the Seventh Prince.
Miss, take it easy, it's a jade-faced Shura in front of you! Linghua sighed secretly.
"I didn't expect your brother to save me so coincidentally, when I arrived at Yifu, I saw you hiding your identity, and even your brother didn't know that you were the master of Huanxi Pavilion, so naturally I helped you hide it together." Zhao Ziqian explained nonsense, he didn't say that it was not because of Yi Luochuan's relationship at all, but because of his own little bad taste.
Yi Xiangxiang sighed and said, "My brother knows now, no, do you mean to blame me?" ”
"Blame me! I compensate! Say, how much gold. Zhao Ziqian said angrily.
For him, anything that can be solved with money is not a thing.
"Am I such a money-grubbing person? Is this something that a few taels of gold can solve? Yi Xiangxiang white-eyed Zhao Ziqian.
Although she did ask Zhao Ziqian for a lot of gold, it was good to have two silver goods! The concept is different! But she thought about it again, this matter is already like this, and now there seems to be nothing to struggle with, since the other party is willing to compensate her for the pure heart that has been deceived, she is still very willing to accept it, so she only heard her say again: "I want a shop on East Street, I want a big one!" ”
Higashi-dori Street in Kyoto is the busiest area, and the shops there can't even be bought with money!
Zhao Ziqian agreed: "Okay, you go with me first." ”
"Neurotic, why should I go with you!" Although Yi Xiangxiang was about to arrive at the shop, she was still a little angry.
Zhao Ziqian replied patiently: "There are people coming and going downstairs, you are not safe here!" ”
In fact, what he wants to say is that there is everything in the land of fireworks, and you can't guarantee that you won't be harassed by the disciples downstairs here! God knows, when he came over, he saw that Yi Xiangxiang didn't have any guards by his side, and he was really angry.
There are many flower houses in Kyoto, and there are even more guests in Meihuanyuan. And most of them have a bit of family background and background, and they can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest when they are drunk! In case he ran upstairs, it would be difficult for Zhao Ziqian to think about the consequences.
In fact, he was also too worried, after all, there were thugs and guards in the building, as long as he didn't meet any martial arts masters, Yi Xiangxiang wouldn't be treated in Meihuan Yuan.
Kang Rui secretly investigated the twenty-four ghosts, but found no trace of them. However, it was revealed that the dragon girl was working at the helm in Kyoto, so they had been sending people to monitor the Kyoto rudder of the Joy Pavilion. Later, the secret guard found out that the dragon girl had brought a person from Huanxi Pavilion to Meihuan Garden, so he reported it to Kang Rui, and Zhao Ziqian also received the news.
Rushing to the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Zhao Ziqian personally entered Mei Huanyuan to confirm, but he didn't expect the crooked beating to be on the contrary! It really made him meet Yi Xiangxiang. And because of the time distance, when Kang Rui reported the news to the Seven Princes' Mansion before, Long Nu and the others had already stopped Mo and asked, so this caused Zhao Ziqian to see that Yi Xiangxiang had no followers by his side.
Of course, he didn't know that Mei Huan Yuan under the name of this Wuda firm was also Yi Xiangxiang's territory, he only thought that Yi Xiangxiang had bought Linghua's chess pavilion with a lot of money.
Yi Xiangxiang lowered her head and pondered, she thought that the person in front of her already knew her identity in Huanxi Pavilion, so she must not let him know that this martial arts was also herself, in that case, it might cause the Yi family to be suspicious. After all, although she saved Zhao Ziqian, he is a royal person, and he likes to doubt others the most. The Yi family has established a Jianghu sect and a big business name to do business, which will definitely make him suspicious.
"I'm going to wait here for the dragon maidens to come back, and I've sent them on a mission." Yi Xiangxiang wanted to use this reason to stay in Mei Huan Yuan, anyway, she was the master of Huanxi Pavilion, and the other party already knew about it, so she didn't have to deliberately hide that she was waiting for news.
Zhao Ziqian frowned, and then pointed to Linghua and said, "You let this person tell them, go back and let them pick you up in my mansion, and I will let the glimpse let them in!" ”
Anyway, Zhao Ziqian felt that Yi Xiangxiang was unsafe without a follower, so he made this decision very strongly.
Yi Xiangxiang originally wanted to refuse, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Seven Princes' Mansion. But after thinking about it, if the Dragon Maiden and the Second Prince's Mansion fought each other, there must be a place to hide after that! The rudder of Huanxi Pavilion and Mei Huan Yuan are likely to be searched, and this Seven Princes' Mansion is a good place to stay.
"You first untie this Linghua girl's acupoint, I spent money to do business with Wuda, not a feud, if you hurt someone, I won't be able to explain." Yi Xiangxiang said.
Linghua is smart and clever, and naturally knows that Miss is going to break off the relationship with Mei Huanyuan, but she is not at ease to let Miss follow Zhao Ziqian, and the first sentence after unlocking the acupoint is: "Pavilion Master, my master asked me to entertain the Pavilion Master well, and the Dragon Girl Protector also asked me to take care of you when she left, if you follow His Royal Highness the Seventh, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain." ”
"The Prince's Mansion will entertain you better than you in this land of fireworks!" Zhao Ziqian said coldly.
Yi Xiangxiang noticed Zhao Ziqian's anger, and only guessed that he thought that Linghua meant that the prince's mansion was not as good as Mei Huanyuan, so he was annoyed, so he hurriedly appeased: "Okay, good, the prince's mansion is good!" Don't worry, Linghua girl, I'll explain it to your master. After the dragon girls come back, you can ask them to go to the Seven Princes' Mansion to find me. Remember, let them ...... All came to me. ”
If you want to hide, you should take it with you. The dragon girl and they can't go back to Huanxi Pavilion for the time being, and they can't stay in Meihuanyuan, so she will take people to hide in the Seven Princes' Mansion together. However, she is now very worried about whether the dragon girl and the others can get out of the way! And...... If Zhao Ziqian knew what they had done, he probably wouldn't have handed them over, right?
Whatever! If he hands me over, I'll bite him for being an accomplice! Yi Xiangxiang thought evilly.
"Let's go!" Zhao Ziqian said that he was going to hold Yi Xiangxiang's waist, and he wanted to take Yi Xiangxiang with light skills.
"Wait!" Yi Xiangxiang stopped.
Zhao Ziqian realized that he hadn't paid attention to the general defense of men and women in his actions, and was about to say sorry, when he saw Yi Xiangxiang pointing to the person on the ground and said, "Take that person with you, I still have to listen to his story!" ”
So, after that, Zhao Ziqian held Yi Xiangxiang in one hand and Tan Pengtao in the other, and left Meihuan Garden.
