Chapter 4: A Heroine Who Keeps Her Promise Breaks into the Capital (5)
Luo Xiyuan looked at it, it was either an old man or a young child, and there was not a single beggar in the prime of life, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
An old man with a wrinkled face, smoking a dry cigarette, saw Luo Xiyuan looking at them, and asked, "Is this young master looking for someone?" ”
Before Luo Xiyuan could answer, all the little beggars opened their eyes when they heard the voice, and when they saw that it was a boy in brocade, they all rushed to her feet and shouted, begging the little master to eat.
Luo Xiyuan smiled and took out a small piece of broken silver from his bosom and held it in his hand. The little beggars were red-eyed, and they only looked at the broken silver and nodded up and down.
"I know your rules, spend money to buy news, and never let you get into danger!"
Luo Xiyuan continued: "I want to inquire about someone, the third son of General Li's family, Li Cefeng. ”
All the little beggars looked at each other, as if no one knew about this third son of General Li.
The old beggar who first began to notice the dry tobacco in Luoxi Garden frowned and said, "Where do the children know about the Hou Men General's Mansion, even if they know, it will only be after the incident, and it will take a long time before it reaches their ears. "Seeing that you are a knowledgeable person, I kindly remind you that our people are called Hanako, and they can't mix and eat on the news, you have also seen that they are all old and weak cubs, and those well-informed ones are called Hanako, all of whom are attached to the power of the official family, and they are ...... to collect news and spread news for a certain family."
The old beggar spat out a string of smoke rings, took his pipe and knocked it on the ground, and poured out all the burned tobacco.
Luo Xiyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the beggars at the foot of the imperial city were different, and they were able to rely on high-ranking officials and nobles to make a living as private beggars.
"Grandpa, the third son of General Li's family is my life-saving benefactor. I used to be a little flower in my hometown, and I only recently called Henan to see him, because I am not familiar with the place, so I would like to ask you to help inquire about his residence. ”
Luo Xiyuan squatted down in front of the old beggar, and the broken silver in his hand was placed on the ground in front of him.
The old beggar swept his eyes sharply over the garden of Lotsy, then picked up the broken silver, threw it at the little beggar who was a little older, and then slowly filled himself with a bag of dry tobacco.
"General Li's family lives in Yangzhi Lane in the south of the city, let the little stone take you there. However, the whereabouts of Li Sangongzi are really unknown to the old man. If you have plenty of money, you can go up to Chunxing Tower to sit down, where the running hall is quite well-informed, if you are lucky enough to meet a few dignitaries, then the whereabouts of Li Sangongzi will be nine times out of ten. ”
As soon as the old beggar finished speaking, the little beggar who was called a small stone stood up, walked to Luoxi Garden and bowed down and said, "This young master, Yangzhi Lane is about five miles away from here, are you riding a horse or walking?" ”
"Let's go!"
Luo Xiyuan took his leave with a fist clasped at the old beggar, and walked with the small stone in the direction of the south of the city.
There are not many mansions in Yangzhi Lane, about three or five households, all of which are high-door households, and the door is not magnificent, but the area separated by the courtyard wall is very large. The small stone points to the fact that General Yang's Mansion is located in the middle of Yangzhi Lane.
Luo Xiyuan stood at the entrance of the alley, and at a glance he saw the door of the Li Mansion, there was no family guarding the courtyard, but the officers and soldiers of the court surrounded a row.
"Little stone, do you know what the Li family has done, why are there so many officers and soldiers guarding it?"
Luo Xiyuan asked in a low voice, and then took out a small piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the small stone.
Xiao Shi didn't take the silver, but bowed back and replied: "If you go back to your master, Xiao Shi doesn't know, the news of this piece of the south of the city has been taken down by Ma Da Hammer, and if it weren't for Grandpa Chen's protection, we, the little beggars, would have starved to death......
Luo Xiyuan listened to him screaming one by one, and laughed in his heart, and said: "Don't call me master, I used to be a small flower in Henan, it was Li Sangongzi who saved me and gave me a lot of gold and silver, so I have today." ”
Xiao Shi felt strange that a splendid boy actually said that he was also a little flower when he met someone.
He touched his head and asked suspiciously, "If you don't call you, then what should I call you?" ”
Luo Xiyuan laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Shi's shoulder: "I am Luo Xiyuan, the head of the Qingcheng Nine Shadows Sect, you can call me Luo Xiyuan!" ”
Xiao Shi's eyes were puzzled, where does such a delicate boy seem to be in charge? Qingcheng Nine Shadow Sect, it sounds like a pretty powerful feeling......
Luo Xiyuan looked at him in disbelief, and continued to tease him: "When it gets dark, this head will go over the wall and enter the Li Mansion to investigate, you help me control the wind in the corner, and after the matter is completed, this head can consider accepting you as an apprentice!" ”
Xiao Shi saw that Luo Xiyuan was sure of what he said, and wanted to see how good he was, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
The two hid at the entrance of the alley until dark, and slipped to the corner of the back door of the Li Mansion while people were unprepared.
The back door was unguarded, except for a large lock and a seal.
Luoxi Yuan carried light work along the wall, and climbed to the top of the wall in a few leaps. The courtyard wall is not too high, and there is a small garden at the other end. She glanced back at the stunned little stone, and said, "Go and hide, and if there is any change, learn a few night owls." If the situation is critical, remember not to show up, and you don't need to report to me, you just have to escape, and I will find a way to get out! ”
With that, he turned around and flew to the ground inside the wall.
The small garden was deserted, dark and dark, and when you looked up, the wings not far away were shining with sparkling lights.
Luo Xiyuan leaned over gently, hiding under the banana tree in front of the window.
The lattice window is ajar, and a slender figure is reflected on the window through the light, which looks very long.
"My mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, the emperor has been delaying the order, and my father doesn't know what happened......
The slender figure let out a long sigh, and his voice was as touching as the hollow valley orchid, but there was still a slight resentment in the concern. People can't help but feel pity when they hear it, and they are curious to explore the story behind this sound.
At night, Luoxi Garden soared, jumped to the windowsill, lifted his robe, bent his right foot, and hung his left foot on the windowsill, swaying slightly.
The delicate figure in front of the window suddenly saw a young man, who appeared in front of him casually, not shocked but ashamed, and his face was slightly red.
"Are you...... Who? ”
The delicate figure was a woman, her hands twisting her handkerchief, and she asked softly.
Luo Xiyuan saw that her face was delicate, only slightly pale, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Li Cefeng, and she immediately had a good impression.
"Sister, in Luoxi, Xiahenan, Li Sangongzi is my savior, and I came here to see General Li's wife for Li Sangongzi. I don't know who my sister is? ”
Luo Xiyuan said with a smile.
The woman suddenly smiled, looked around left and right, stretched out her slender fingers and pulled Luo Xiyuan. Luo Xiyuan followed the direction of her strength, turned around and jumped into the window.
"I'm the sister of Li Sangongzi, my name is Huaxiu, how did you know Brother Feng?"
The woman Li Huaxiu said with a smile.
