Chapter Twenty-Three: Confiding, Encountering a Rogue on the Road

There is a special private room on the innermost side of the second floor of the Joy Pavilion, and there are three reasons why this private room is special. First, the layout and location of this private room; It differs from other private rooms in that it has three windows, which are located in a triangular shape; The window on the left side faces the inner hall, which can be seen at a glance of the guests of the future Joy Pavilion; The window on the right side faces the street, so you can see the pedestrians on the street from here. The window at the top is facing the back garden, and if there is any disturbance outside, there can be only one or two in the private room. Second, there is a secret passage in this private room, which extends in all directions; As for how many exits there are in this secret passage, and where the exits are, only the owner of the Joy Pavilion knows. Third, this private room is exclusive to the owner of the Joy Pavilion, and it will only be opened when he comes, and it is locked on weekdays, and no one else is allowed to use it.

At this time, Zhao Qingcheng was in this private room with a stinky face glaring at Ye Xizhi, who was sitting opposite him and constantly smiling at him.

Today, Zhao Qingcheng originally had an appointment with Ye Xizhi to discuss important matters. Therefore, after leaving the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, he ordered someone to escort Li Weixi back to the Yan Palace, and he rerouted halfway to the place where the two met. After the matter was discussed, Ye Xizhi proposed that Zhao Qingcheng go to Xunhuan Pavilion with him, Zhao Qingcheng knew the purpose of Ye Xizhi's move, so he was naturally reluctant to go. Who knows, Ye Xizhi is soft and hard, and he is stalking and forcing Zhao Qing to comply. In the end, Zhao Qingcheng really couldn't stand Ye Xizhi's combination of soft and hard, so there was the previous scene.

"I've got my word in the first place, and this is the last time." Zhao Qingcheng still had a stinky face.

Ye Xi looked like a villain, "Definitely not an example!" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Qingcheng stopped talking.

Ye Xizhi looked at Zhao Qingcheng, who was extremely reluctant, put away Fang Cai's hippie smile, and said with a straight face: "Qingcheng, if you are so affectionate to you like a dream, aren't you moved?" Ye Xizhi paused slightly, and then said, "Or is there something that happened between the two of you that I don't know about, so that you have become disgusted with her to the point of avoiding her?" ”

Zhao Qingcheng stared at Ye Xizhi for a long time before he said, "Xizhi, can you trust my words?" ”

"With your friendship with me, of course." To say that their friendship is inseparable, and they are inseparable, perhaps it is not as good as ordinary brothers. Zhao Qingcheng's words, how could he doubt it. Ye Xizhi couldn't understand why Zhao Qingcheng suddenly asked this question.

"Then you keep your distance from her! I have also seen her thoughts well over the years, and because of this, I would like to advise you to stop here and not have any further thoughts. Zhao Qingcheng really didn't want to mention it again, but he didn't want Ye Xizhi to always be obsessed with Liu Rumeng, she didn't deserve it!

"Is it ······?" The conversation between the two of them was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Two masters, the girl like a dream has arrived." As she spoke, the little maid gently pushed open the door.

I saw Liu Rumeng, who was slowly approaching the two of them, with spring water in her dreams, and her face was like congealed cream; Wearing a white peony smoke Luo soft yarn, a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, wearing a soft smoke Luo, it is really a bit of a powdery and crispy and delicate taste.

"Nozomi, you're here!" Liu Rumeng smiled at Ye Xizhi, then turned around and faced Zhao Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, you are finally willing to come to see me." The words are full of complaints, but more often than not, grievances.

When Ye Xizhi heard this, he coughed lightly, "You guys talk first, I'll let people prepare some good wine and food, the three of us don't know how long it's been since we've been together like this." He made an excuse to let the two of them talk alone.

After Ye Xizhi left, the two were silent for a while, Liu Rumeng waited for a long time and didn't see Zhao Qingcheng speak, gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stand in front of Zhao Qingcheng, "I haven't seen you for so many years, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

"I don't know what I have to say to you." Liu Rumeng's eyes are not as pure as Li Weixi, and Zhao Qingcheng doesn't like to look at Liu Rumeng. He turned to face the windowsill, preferring to stare at the drunken gold fans downstairs.

Liu Rumeng felt Zhao Qingcheng's coldness, and her voice choked, "Are you still angry with me for what happened back then?" I think my father was sincere in his meritorious service back then, not ······"

Zhao Qingcheng interrupted Liu Rumeng's words, "The king doesn't want to mention the things of the past, you and I know the rights and wrongs." ”

Zhao Qingcheng's words obviously pointed to something else, which really shocked Liu Rumeng's heart, she had heard Ye Xizhi inadvertently mention that Zhao Qingcheng had secretly investigated the matter of the year after returning to Beijing.

"Qing Cheng, I think you have a misunderstanding. I ······"

Zhao Qingcheng's sharp eyes made Liu Rumeng swallow back what he wanted to say.

"In that case, why do you care if I live or die and let Xi's mother do a trick?"

"Looks like you're the one who misunderstood! It is Xizhi who makes Xi's mother take more care of you, not this king. Zhao Qingcheng really didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Rumeng, not to mention that he just placed Liu Rumeng here, and as for Xi's mother's extra care, he was indeed entrusted by Ye Xi.

"What about you?" Liu Rumeng still refuses to give up, "You have been the only one in my heart since I was a child, and my love and longing for you have increased day by day over the years." The bits and pieces of childhood, the past day and night together, haven't you noticed? I don't believe you don't have any affection for me. ”

Zhao Qingcheng has had a quirky personality since he was a child, and he never likes women to get close. Even the palace maids who were arranged to serve him were no exception, so his daily life was taken care of by the nurse Mama Lu. But Zhao Qingcheng has never been displeased or avoided Liu Rumeng, who often appears in front of him, and even sometimes takes care of him, so that Liu Rumeng feels that he is a special existence for Zhao Qingcheng. How did she know that the reason why Zhao Qingcheng treated her like this was because of Ye Xizhi! Zhao Qingcheng didn't want to embarrass his best friend, so he reluctantly got along with him.

Zhao Qingcheng glanced back at Liu Rumeng and responded coldly, "What do you have to do with this king, this king has never had a relationship with you!" ”

To tell the truth, for Zhao Qingcheng, Liu Rumeng is not even a childhood friend. At that time, Zhao Qingcheng lived in the palace, and only Ye Xizhi was the companion of the same age, and the two were very close to each other. One day, Ye Xizhi brought a little girl, and that was Liu Rumeng. At first, Zhao Qingcheng complained a little about this, but after a long time, he acquiesced to Liu Rumeng, who often followed Ye Xizhi.

At the beginning, Zhao Qingcheng really didn't expect that Liu Rumeng would have a deep affection for him and then do all kinds of transgressions.

Liu Ru dreamed that Zhao Qingcheng had already said this, and she wanted to cry, "Today, I put down the reserve of my daughter's family and sincerely confide in you, but you are so indifferent and ruthless." Do you really want to live with that fool for the rest of your life? ”

Zhao Qingcheng didn't want to see Liu Rumeng, and the reason why he patiently talked to her for a long time was just for Ye Xizhi's face. And at this moment, he was already annoyed, "This king's business has nothing to do with you!" He simply turned to face the windowsill and turned his back to Liu Rumeng, and said no more.

Seeing this, Liu Ru suddenly burst into tears, "I'm not even as good as your stupid princess." ”

She thought that Zhao Qingcheng would have some emotions for her more or less, at least she had a good impression. It seems that this is not the case today, and Liu Rumeng realized at this time that everything she had been doing all this time was just wishful thinking on her part.

Liu Rumeng looked at Zhao Qingcheng's back stupidly: thinking about it carefully, Zhao Qingcheng never responded to her emotions from beginning to end. Indeed, Zhao Qingcheng never promised her anything, let alone anything. Even if Zhao Qingcheng didn't have any women around him, he didn't take her to heart, she was the same as all the women in the world. It's just that she doesn't want to admit it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Li didn't hesitate to get rid of Furong and take Chun Tao downstairs, and then walked to the inner hall on the first floor and was bumped into by a man who stumbled and walked secretly. Li didn't hesitate to dodge and was almost knocked down by the man with the tiger's back, but fortunately, Chun Tao supported her in time, even so, Li didn't hesitate to take a few steps back before standing firm.

"Miss ······" Chun Tao was in a hurry, so she slipped away. "Young master, are you alright?" Fortunately, she changed her words in time and did not attract the attention of others.

Li Weixi shook his head, "It's okay." ”

Chun Tao saw that although he said that it was okay, he kept his eyebrows locked, and he thought that it must have hurt somewhere, so he wanted to step forward and reason with the man.

Li Weixi had already seen Chun Tao's thoughts, "Don't be too troublesome, why bother with a drunk." She endured the pain in her shoulder and stopped Chun Tao.

Chun Tao naturally won't go against her own miss's intentions, but this matter is obviously the other party's fault first, she just can't see her own miss hurt, and wants to step forward and say, on a reason, how did it become "eventful"? Chun Tao did not hesitate to cast a puzzled gaze at Li.

Li didn't hesitate to sigh lightly, "Let's go back to the house first." How could she not know that Chun Tao was crying out for her, but the man who was paralyzed on the ground in front of her had his eyebrows upside down, and his eyes were kissed; There is also a deep scar on his face, which is not a good stubble at first glance, not to mention that this person is full of alcohol, and he knows at a glance that he is drunk. They came here in disguise today, which was already inconvenient, and with her current identity, there was really no need to cause more trouble.

The drunk who hit her staggered up from the ground and shouted at the top of his voice, "You······ To the old ······ Stop! This voice was deafening, attracting the sideways eyes of many people, and many prostitutes and girls lifted the curtain and poked their heads out.

Li did not hesitate to hear this, his eyebrows tightened, not only did he not plan to stop, but he accelerated his steps. She knew that if she stayed for a moment, it would be in vain. "Keep walking." Li did not hesitate to say to the slightly hesitant Chun Tao.

The drunkard saw that the two of them didn't seem to take him seriously, and his face couldn't hold back. He roared angrily, lifted his breath and turned over and came to Li Weixi's face, blocking her way.

Li didn't expect that this man was actually a practitioner, and he could perform light skills in a drunken state and jump in front of her accurately, thinking that his martial arts were not weak.

Li didn't hesitate to settle down, and said casually: "I don't know what this brother is doing in the way?" ”

"'What's the point'! You hit ······ Lao Tzu thought······ And just walked away······ It? This ······ Where is the world······ There is such a cheap thing. The drunkard spoke with his tongue wide open and slurred.

Although she knew that this person was drunk, standing and talking face to face like this, the smell of wine lees in his mouth still made Li Weixi a little unbearable, and she subconsciously frowned.

Chun Tao did not hesitate to stop it, so he did not make a sound. At this time, the other party took the initiative to provoke, and she couldn't bear it anymore and forgot all about the warning.

"You're amazing! Obviously, you bumped into my young master, but Zhu Bajie actually hit a rake and said that my young master hit you. "Chun Tao is not to be outdone.

"Who are you scolding, pig!" The man was unsteady on his feet, swaying and slurring his speech, but his mind did not seem to be dull.

"Whoever answers, scolds!" Chun Tao gave him a blank look.

"You!" The man was angry, pointed at Li and said: "If Lao Tzu hit 'him', why didn't 'he' react?" It must have been 'he' who bumped into Lao Tzu, so he was a thief and bowed his head and left. ”

Chun Tao was not convinced, and sneered, "What kind of world is this now!" My young master is generous, and he doesn't care about you when he is hit by you, which has become the reason why your wicked person sued first. ”

Li did not hesitate to know that this came and went, for fear that he would make things bigger. She didn't want to make trouble in Xunhuan Pavilion, and she didn't want to alarm Zhao Qingcheng. Thinking of this, Li did not hesitate to scold Chun Tao in a low voice: "Okay, don't have to fight with him, let's go home." ”

Chun Tao didn't know why, and still argued with reason, "Young master, it's not that I want to fight with him, it's obvious that he borrowed wine to spill." If we don't fight back, he really thinks that we are at a loss and is afraid of him. ”

Li Weixi shook her head, and was about to say something, when a shouting interrupted her.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A big man with a beard and a beard walked over menacingly, and there was a honest man beside him, followed by a man with a white face that was almost sickly.

A group of three people broke into their middle as if no one was around, and stubbornly clubbed between them, and Li and Chun Tao were forced to take a few steps back.

"Big brother, are you okay?" The honest man asked.

The bearded man took over: "Seeing that you went to relieve your hands and didn't come back for a long time, the second brother and I didn't worry about coming out to look for you, so Brother Pei came with us." ”

The white man didn't care about the drunk man as much as the two big men, but after being polite, he turned around and approached Li Buhe, and they looked up and down with interest at the master and servant who were forced to retreat.

Li didn't hesitate to think about how to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and he didn't realize that there was a one, no! It was two eyes that followed her figure······
