"Xiang'er, it's you, it's you......"

Hearing that number, Huo Qingqing suddenly shook Lu Xiang'er's arm excitedly. Lu Xiang'er was already stunned and didn't know how to react. Lu Hong didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be selected, and he couldn't help but think of what Lu Xianger said before that he would abstain, and he was also a little dazed.

Feng Wen saw that the middle-aged man on the stage was already repeating it for the second time, so he hurriedly coughed a few times, which woke up Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er saw that the people in the lobby were looking around again, so she had to get up helplessly and wave her hand to the middle-aged man on the stage.

When the middle-aged man saw Lu Xiang'er get up and signaled, a smile immediately appeared: "Okay, then invite this little lady to the stage......"

"Please wait—" Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, a voice from the gate of the teahouse interrupted him. And just when this voice attracted everyone's attention, a group of soldiers in armor with long arms in hand poured into the Qingxin Teahouse.

This sudden incident did not allow anyone to expect it. The people sitting at the door were eager to leave their seats and retreat to the middle of the lobby. can see those blades glowing with cold light, these weak scholars didn't even stand up even after standing together. They could only look at the soldier next to them with pale faces, but they also saw sweat on their foreheads.

Standing in the middle of these soldiers, a general with a sword hanging from his waist, did not wait for the middle-aged man to speak, and then bowed his hand to him: "Dare to ask where the fourth prince is?" ”

"This prince is here, who are you, what's going on?" When the four princes exclaimed in the lobby, they had already walked out of the room. When he saw the general downstairs asking himself, he immediately turned cold and stepped forward to let the general see him.

When the general saw the four princes, he immediately bowed down: "Your Royal Highness, the next official is Fang Zhe, the commander of Guoyi in Jiangling Zhichong Mansion, and there are confidential important matters to report to His Highness." ”

"Oh?" When the fourth prince saw the large number of government soldiers below, his expression gradually became serious, and he nodded and said, "Come up." ”

"Yes." Fang Zhe got up and quickly went upstairs. The soldiers downstairs were scattered everywhere, staring closely at everyone in the lobby. The more tense atmosphere made the Qingxin Teahouse quiet, leaving no trace of the lively atmosphere just now.

Soon, the Four Princes walked out of the room, and Fang Zhe and the guards of the Four Princes followed closely behind. The fourth prince saw that all the people in the room on the second floor had already come out, and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, this prince has to do something next, please don't panic." Otherwise, if you catch the wrong person and let yourself be frightened, this prince will not be responsible. After speaking, the fourth prince nodded to Fang Zhe regardless of the officials of the several government offices who wanted to open their mouths to ask.

Fang Zhe immediately stepped forward and said loudly to the soldiers downstairs: "Remember, except for the people you want to arrest, don't hurt innocent people. ”

"Obey the order—" The soldiers bowed neatly, and several people in an orderly manner shuttled together quickly, either upstairs or upstairs.

It didn't take long for someone to jump up in this atmosphere, as if trying to run out. But before they could run far, the well-trained soldiers took them down, regardless of whether they were killed or wounded. Seeing the splashed blood, some little ladies couldn't help but exclaim, but when they thought of anything, they couldn't help but cover their mouths.

Lu Hong in the crowd stepped forward and blocked in front of Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing, preventing the two of them from seeing the bloodstains in the distance. Although Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing couldn't see it, they heard the screams. Huo Qingqing's little face was a little white with fright, but Lu Xiang'er began to vomit incessantly.

Huo Qingqing saw that Lu Xiang'er's reaction was not as good as herself, so she had some sister-like pride, and hurriedly patted her on the back. In fact, Huo Qingqing didn't know that Lu Xiang'er was not afraid of her, but that her nose was very sensitive, and she couldn't stand it when she smelled the deep smell of blood.

However, Lu Xianger didn't expect that her reaction would fall into the eyes of some people and be put on the hat of 'not to be afraid'. And in some things after that, it also brought some benefits to Lu Xianger, and it also made her very glad for today's gaffe.

At the same time, at the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite the gate of the Qingxin Tea House, a very inconspicuous carriage stopped. At this time, a government soldier was standing outside the carriage, bowing down and whispering something. After the Nafu soldiers left, the curtain of the carriage compartment was opened, revealing Huo Qingsong's grim face.

When Huo Qingsong lowered the curtain, Huo Bao ran up the alley from there and sat on the wheel of the carriage. He looked around before he whispered, "General, the little lady is in the teahouse." ”

"What?" Huo Qingsong suddenly opened the curtain and said in a calm voice: "Why did Qingqing come here?" ”

"General, the little lady is here with the brothers and sisters of the Lu family." Huo Bao heard the anxiety in Huo Qingsong's tone, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't worry, general, the little lady was only a little frightened and didn't suffer any harm." I just saw her take care of the scared little lady who vomited. ”

"Little lady Lu? Scared to vomit? Huo Qingsong was stunned at first. Then, with a smile in his eyes, he lowered the curtain and retreated into the carriage. After a while, Huo Bao heard Huo Qingsong say softly: "Although I don't know why she vomited, she definitely wasn't scared." She's so bold. ”

Huo Bao pricked up his ears and listened to Huo Qingsong's whisper very carefully. But it was because he heard it clearly that Huo Bao's heart was a little weird. He couldn't figure out where the weird feeling came from, but he just felt weird.

Huo Qingsong calmed down for a long time, and then asked in a low voice, "Have all those who inquired about Qingqing been solved?" ”

"Small errands, the general can rest assured. Not only the people who inquired about the little lady, but also the people who followed the Lu family brothers and sisters recently, all let the little ones solve it cleanly, ensuring that they couldn't find out who did it at all. Huo Bao patted his chest with a proud face.

Huo Qingsong shook his head and said, "Don't be careless." Also, we must find out who is behind it as soon as possible, and we must solve this matter before we return to Beijing. Otherwise, if my uncle knows, he will have to talk in my ear endlessly. ”

"Got it, General." Huo Bao nodded, suddenly remembered something, and immediately said happily: "General, is Grandpa Guo sober?" ”

"Well, I'm sober, and I'm getting better every day. You can also rest assured and do things with peace of mind. After Huo Qingsong said this, he closed his eyes. Huo Bao, who already knew Huo Qingsong very well, didn't ask anything, but stared intently at Qingxin Teahouse.

"Your Highness, there is no omission, all of them have been caught." Fang Zhe received the report from his subordinates and immediately reported it to the four princes.

The fourth prince glanced at the more than ten people who were tied up by the soldiers, nodded and said, "Very good, take them all, I will go back with you." ”

"Yes. Your Highness, the lower officials first took people out of the Qingxin Teahouse and waited for His Highness outside. Fang Zhe saluted the four princes, and then took all the government soldiers, as well as the people who were arrested, and quickly opened the teahouse.

Without those government soldiers, the tense and solemn atmosphere in the teahouse was immediately eased. Some of the people who had just stood up in fright, also slowly sat back. But the messy lobby and the residual smell of blood all indicate that this party is probably coming to an end.

The fourth prince, Zhao Chengmin, looked around the teahouse, and there were some people who lost their minds, and smiled slightly. After clearing his throat, he said: "Everyone, although what happened just now was a little sudden, it was all for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to continue to live in peace. So, please don't take what you just happened to heart. Moreover, although this prince came to Gangneung for the first time, he also learned a lot about Gangneung. After the prince returns to the palace, he will definitely tell his father that the people of Jiangling are outstanding and believe that Luming Academy will accompany many pillars of talent for the court......"

The words of the four princes added some luster to the faces of everyone in the teahouse. The impact of what happened just now is slowly dissipating. When the four princes and the officials of the Gangneung Mansion left, the blood stains in the hall were also cleared, as if nothing had happened.

However, this gathering of 'meeting with literature and martial arts' will not be able to continue. Because most of the little ladies who have gathered have no intention of performing anything. They just want to go back to their homes and get a good night's sleep so that they can forget about the unpleasant experience of tonight.

As the owner of Qingxin Tea House and one of the organizers of this party, Liao Wenbo decided to give a pack of soothing tea to all the little ladies present to express his apologies. It has to be said that this move has given his reputation another step up tonight.

Lu Xiang'er saw it very clearly, and when each little lady left the teahouse, she looked at Liao Wenbo standing on the second floor with reluctance, and wanted to get his response. And Liao Wenbo also lived up to expectations, always watching each little lady leave with a smile on his face. Lu Xiang'er looked at the little ladies who left, all of them were ashamed, their eyes were full of spring, and they couldn't help but shudder, and quickly followed a maid to the dressing room prepared by the teahouse.

Because Lu Xiang'er had just vomited and soiled her clothes, a maid came to her side and wanted to take her to change into clean clothes. Although the clothes were a little ill-fitting, such a thoughtful arrangement still made Lu Xianger admire Liao Wenbo's business acumen. As the maids came out of the dressing room, there were not many people in the lobby anymore. Lu Xiang'er hurriedly walked to Lu Hong and Huo Qingqing's side, preparing to leave with the two.

When the three of them turned around and were about to leave, they heard someone behind them say, "Three of you, please stay." This is a special soothing tea made by our teahouse, please take the two little ladies back to taste. ”

"Thank you...... Liao Gongzi? The three of them turned around, thinking that they were the little two in the teahouse, and wanted to say thank you. Unexpectedly, when the three of them turned around, they found that the person standing in front of them was Liao Wenbo.
