Chapter 50: Stay in the State of Chu
Bai Yu was stunned, and still said with a smile: "Girl, if you want to spend the Spring Festival together, the hall will bid, and if you have the highest price, you can spend the Spring Festival with you."
Shui Wuxian saw that Shui Ling'er was full of interest, and said lightly: "Shui Ling'er, don't go to the bidding." Situ Jing asked him to take care of her, how could he let her mess with flowers and sticky grass outside.
Shui Ling'er pleaded, "Brother, I want to go and bid and don't cause trouble."
Bai Yu only realized after listening to their conversation that they were brother and sister, and he could see that this woman named Shui Ling'er was going to participate in the bidding, purely for fun, after all, with such a beautiful brother, it was natural that he was not interested in him.
But it's also a good thing to be able to help him raise the price, he said, "Childe, it's better for you to accompany her to open her eyes."
Shui Ling'er nodded in agreement and said, "Brother, what Bai Yu said is reasonable, I want to go and join in the fun, not bidding."
Shui Wuxian looked at her and swore solemnly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay."
Shui Ling'er stood up happily and said to Bai Yu, "Help us get a good position."
"Yes."
In the imperial city of Chu State, Xiao Sizi ran into the imperial study, he put the letter in his hand on the table, knelt in front of the table, his head was on the ground and did not get up, he said in a panic: "Your Majesty, there are guests from other places in the Narcissus Mansion who want to send this letter to General Jing Wang Jing of Liang State." Collaborating with the enemy and sentencing the country is a great crime, and it will be beheaded all over the house.
Dongfang Yu picked up the envelope, and the three words Situ Jing dancing on the envelope were obviously Situ Jing's handwriting, could it be that he was in Chu State? Turning it over, the wax oil pattern on the seal was a pattern only found by the royal family of the Liang State, and there was also a word "Jing" in the middle, which made him more sure that Situ Jing was in the Chu State.
Mo Wei The guards who followed Xiaohu had lost contact, and they should have been discovered by Situ Jing.
Dongfang Yu opened the drawer and took out a dagger to cut the seal of the wax oil, he took out the letter and looked at it, the handwriting was ugly, but it could be seen that it was a simple sentence "Shui Ling'er is fine".
Dongfang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "You said that this letter was going to be sent to King Jing's Mansion in Liang Kingdom?"
"Exactly."
That is, it is not Situ Jing who is in the Chu State, but her!
He stood up ecstatically, went straight to the door, and said, "Let's go out of the palace." She came to the state of Chu, and she came to him.
"Yes."
Dongfang Yu slumped out of the imperial study, and Concubine Chen happened to come over, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine stewed chicken soup to replenish your body."
Dongfang Yu completely ignored her and walked directly past her.
Xiao Sizi, who was following behind Dongfang Yu, saw Concubine Chen, smiled and said, "Concubine Chen, the emperor has something to do, so he has to leave the palace first." After a simple salute, he bowed his head and walked past Concubine Chen.
For a moment, Concubine Chen's fists clenched, and she muttered to herself, "What's the matter, he simply went out of the palace to see his lover." Fang Dongfang Yu walked past her, and she saw that his face was full of happy smiles, and he was smiling at others, not at her.
Narcissus Lou, Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuxian were brought to the best position in front of the stage in the hall to sit, and the little maid brought tea and pastries.
Half an hour passed, and Shui Ling'er said to Shui Wuxian beside her boringly, "Brother, when will it start?" She saw that the surroundings were already full of people, why didn't she start.
"You're not allowed to bid." Shui Wuxian didn't know about his sister's strange behavior.
Shui Ling'er said perfunctorily, "Got it." As long as she shouts a few prices from it, she has a good time, and if she doesn't follow to the end, Shui Wuxian won't blame her.
On the second floor, Bai Yu led the people behind him to the top of Shui Ling'er's position, because there were many noisy people, Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuxian didn't notice that someone was looking at them.
Bai Yu respectfully said to the person behind him: "Your Majesty, those two on the first floor are the brothers and sisters who sent a letter to General Liang Guojing." He turned his head to look at Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuji.
Dongfang Yu had already seen Shui Ling'er on the first floor, and he looked at it with mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that he was going to arrest her to come to Chu State, but he didn't expect her to come to him by herself.
Bai Yu on the side saw the affection in Dongfang Yu's eyes, and said, "It turned out to be someone the emperor knew, and the hospitality was not good, and the ministers were derelict in their duties."
Dongfang Yu saw the beautiful man beside Shui Ling'er, and he wondered, "Are they brother and sister?" For the first time, he knew that Shui Ling'er had an older brother.
"Yes."
Dongfang Yu said, "Help me arrange the position next to Shui Ling'er."
"Yes."
After a while, a handsome man walked onto the stage and began to explain the bidding process and rules in detail.
Shui Ling'er didn't want to listen, she just hoped to start quickly, she wanted to shout.
The person who was originally sitting next to her stood up and left, and not long after, a man came over, Shui Ling'er turned her head curiously, and the person who came was Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu sat down beside her and said, "Long time no see, Shui Ling'er."
When Shui Ling'er saw her acquaintance, she said happily, "Long time no see, Brother Yu."
Shui Wuxian on the side said, "Shui Ling'er, do you know someone?"
"Yes, brother, he is Dongfang Yu."
Shui Wuxian frowned, thinking that the emperor of Chu was Dongfang Yu, but when he saw him sitting here alone, was it a deception, or was it for his sister? He saw that Shui Ling'er's eyes were the same as Situ Jing's eyes, and he didn't understand how Shui Ling'er could have several men fascinated by such a stupid woman.
Shui Ling'er turned to Dongfang Yu and said, "Brother Yu, he is my brother, and there is no trace of water."
Dongfang Yu looked at Shui Wuxian and said to Shui Ling'er, "How come I have never heard of you having a brother."
Shui Ling'er said without thinking, "I only recognized it a while ago."
Dongfang Yu nodded understandingly, and said, "Why don't you come to me first when you come to Chu Kingdom, I can take you around to play."
Shui Ling'er said helplessly, "Brother Yu, I also thought about looking for you, but the Emperor of Chu is chasing us, so I can't find you."
Dongfang Yu was stunned, and wondered, "Chase and kill?" He had no impression of making an order to hunt down Shui Ling'er.
Shui Wuxian chuckled and said, "In the water, Wuxian is the leader of the Black Plum Gang."
Dongfang Yu's face turned gloomy, and he said, "It's really fate."
Shui Wuxian sneered and said, "If the inn on the border hadn't escaped the emperor's pursuit, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to meet here."
After the two sneered at each other, they each looked at the stage.
The bidding has begun, and the shouts are everywhere, and Shui Ling'er also shouts excitedly, "Five thousand taels of silver."
Shui Wuxian frowned and said, "Shui Ling'er, didn't I say that you are not allowed to bid?"
Shui Ling'er chuckled and said, "It's just fun to shout, not to the end."
Dongfang Yu chuckled and said, "If Shui Ling'er needs someone to accompany her, I can accompany you." Even if it is night, he can accompany her at night.
Shui Wuxian said coldly, "She is already a married woman and doesn't need to be accompanied."
Dongfang Yu sneered and was silent, thinking that Situ Jing's absence was just to give him the best opportunity.
After the bidding ended, Shui Ling'er sat unsatisfied, and Shui Wuxian said, "Shui Ling'er, it's not too early, we're leaving."
Dongfang Yu chuckled and said, "Let me do my landlord's friendship and entertain you."
Shui Ling'er said happily, "Okay." With Dongfang Yu, who is in Chu, you can clearly know what is fun and what is delicious.
Shui Wuxian looked at Dongfang Yu coldly and said, "Okay." If you can use this to talk about it, you don't have to worry about being hunted down and killed.
In the box on the second floor of the Xiang Tea House, the round table was full of wine and food, Shui Ling'er sat in the middle in front of the table, and Shui Wuji and Dongfang Yu sat on both sides.
Dongfang Yu said with a smile on his face, "Shui Ling'er, the delicacies here are world-famous delicacies."
"Hmm." Shui Ling'er was busy eating, and she nodded in response.
Shui Wuxian said lightly, "I came to the Chu State to deal with the interference of the people of the Black Plum Gang in the affairs of the imperial family."
Dongfang Yu chuckled and said, "A while ago, I was taken care of by many people from the Black Plum Gang, and I almost lost my life."
Shui Ling'er wondered, "What are you talking about, why don't I understand."
Shui Wuxian stared at Dongfang Yu for a moment and said, "He is the emperor of the Chu State."
Dongfang Yu's face turned gloomy, he knew that Shui Ling'er would know sooner or later, but he was not mentally prepared for what Shui Ling'er would think of him, after all, he was the emperor of Chu who had ordered to kill them.
Shui Ling'er looked at Dongfang Yu in surprise, and then said happily: "Brother Yu, great, congratulations on becoming the emperor, it is worth it for you to come back to Chu State." She once heard Situ Jing say that Dongfang Yu returned to Chu to compete for the throne, and there was more than luck.
Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes." After ascending the throne, no less than hundreds of people congratulated him and congratulated him, but none of Shui Ling'er's simple congratulations moved him.
Shui Wuxian had long been accustomed to Shui Ling'er's unexpected behavior, and he said, "Shui Ling'er, you concentrate on eating, I'll talk to him." Then he said to Dongfang Yu solemnly: "I will hand over the people, and then the Black Plum Gang and the royal family will be cleared." After all, it was the Black Plum Gang that was at fault first, and if he wanted other compensation, he was willing to pay money to settle it.
Dongfang Yu looked at Shui Ling'er for a moment, then looked at Shui Wuxian and said, "Okay." Shui Wuxian is her brother, there is no need for him to be embarrassed, if he is someone else, there will be no mercy.
Shui Wuxian saw that it was because of Shui Ling'er that he didn't ask for other conditions, and he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, after the matter is dealt with, Shui Ling'er and I will stay for a few days and then return to Liang Kingdom."
Dongfang Yu chuckled and said, "Stay in Chu State for a few more days, let me entertain you well." Shui Ling'er finally came to him, and he wouldn't let her go easily.
Shui Wuxian could guess Dongfang Yu's thoughts, and said, "Situ Jing is still waiting for Shui Ling'er in Liang Kingdom, so when the time comes, we will leave."
Dongfang Yu said disappreliantly, "I understand." He'll find a way to keep her.
At night, in the courtyard of the mansion of the head shop of the Black Plum Gang, Shui Wuxian stood in the courtyard and said to Xiao Leng, "You bring the letter back to Daliang and hand it over to King Jing in person." He handed the letter to Xiao Leng.
Xiao Leng took the letter and said, "Yes."
"If we don't return to Daliang in a few months, let King Jing come to Chu to find us."
"Yes."
Shui Wuxian guessed that Shui Ling'er must have been sent to Dongfang Yu before, otherwise how would he know that Shui Ling'er was in Narcissus Tower.
