Chapter 69: Why the Riots?

Cai Wenxuan waved his hand modestly, and the coachman of Cai's mansion obeyed the order and drove the carriage to the backyard of Lebin Building.

"Cousin, you have always liked to be quiet, I didn't expect you to go out of the palace to join in this excitement, and bring this cute sprout out." Cai Wenxuan held a folding fan in his hand, and one end of the fan pointed to Meng Meng who was standing on He Xuan's shoulder, and quipped.

"I'm dressed like this now, cousin, you should call me cousin!" He Xuan pointed to a man's outfit and joked.

Then, she looked at Mengmeng, glanced at Ruolan who was standing behind her, and joked: "My cousin knows me, and I didn't join in this excitement." It's not that Ruolan is in a hurry to get out of the palace. As for Meng Meng, I have too little time to spend with it on weekdays, and I feel ashamed. ”

Ruolan's face flushed, her eyes lowered, and she took a sip of cherries. Cai Wenxuan was silent when he heard this.

Meng Meng looks very vigorous, her feathers are neat, and a pair of small eyes are looking left and right at Ruolan and Cai Wenxuan.

Qing'er saw Mengmeng, sneered, and quickly subconsciously covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief. found that he had changed into a man's outfit, and there was no silk handkerchief in his cuffs, so he had to hold back his smile.

Suzaku Street is already very spacious, and there are many shops on both sides of the main road. Because it was a festival, there were many vendors who set up shelves and stood back to back in the middle of the road.

In this way, Suzaku Street is divided into two, and there are two small paths for people to walk. The hawkers' shelves are filled with all sorts of kitsch goods, and the hawkers' cries are even louder.

The streets are full of people, and as far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere. In the bustling crowd, you can see people everywhere carrying lotus lanterns in their hands and chewing on snacks bought on the street in their mouths.

He Xuan didn't like the hustle and bustle, so he went shopping with his cousin Cai Wenxuan, bought some folk gadgets that are not common on weekdays, and hurried to Lebin Building.

Before he walked to the door of the store, He Xuan saw the sign hanging opposite the Yuefu Building that Ruolan had said. She frowned slightly, and said in her heart, this thing is placed here, it is so dazzling.

"A few guest officers, please come in!" The shopkeeper stood at the door of the Lebin Building with a coarse cloth sweat towel on his shoulder, greeted him with enthusiasm on his face, and said loudly to the person in front of him.

He Xuan came back to his senses and looked his eyes up and down at the shopkeeper.

"Well, it's still the old rules." Cai Wenxuan said a few words lightly, opened the folding fan, and fanned it twice at random.

"Yo, it turned out to be Mr. Cai. I didn't see it clearly just now, but the second floor of the private room of Mr. Cai, please! Xiao Er hurriedly led the way to the staircase, waiting for the group to go up, staring at the extraordinary little boy behind Cai Wenxuan.

"Ahh With an exclamation, Cai Wenxuan hurriedly turned around, and immediately reached out to support Ruolan, the little entourage behind him who almost slipped.

Ruolan's cheeks were red, so she stood firm, lowered her head and said, "Thank you... Thank... Son. ”

Cai Wenxuan went down two steps, looked at it fixedly, and scolded the shopkeeper: "How can you do things so carelessly, the oil and water on the stairs are not wiped clean, what should I do if the guest falls?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran up, and when he saw it, he immediately smiled and said: "Master Cai, it was the inappropriate person who ran the hall and spilled the vegetable soup, and the small one will be wiped clean for you." Is this little brother okay? ”

The shopkeeper took off the sweat towel on his shoulder and half-knelt on the stairs to wipe it.

"I... It's okay. Ruolan replied softly, went up a few steps, and made room for the shopkeeper.

"Let's go." He Xuan said lightly, ending this embarrassment.

When going up the stairs, He Xuan glanced at the situation of the Lebin Building. The people sitting on the first floor are ordinary people, and they eat commonplace, and they are all absent. When I got to the second floor, although I couldn't see the situation in the private rooms, I thought that the business was really good after watching a few people running the hall.

"Cousin, what would you like to eat?" The two sat down, and Cai Wenxuan immediately asked.

"There's nothing special you want to eat, today is the Lotus Festival, so let's eat something related to the lotus." He Xuan said casually, his round eyes turned around, observing the furnishings in the room.

Cai Wenxuan thought for a while, tilted his head sideways, and said a few words to the running hall who was waiting on the side, and the running hall nodded and walked out quickly.

"Cousin, are you satisfied?" Cai Wenxuan asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's much better than the last time I came, and the monthly flow handed over to Ruolan is barely enough to spend. Today, I look like I'm about to catch up with Yuefu Building, right? With a smile in his eyes, He Xuan lowered his voice.

"That's my cousin spent too much money, but I take care of Lebin Building for my cousin for free!" Cai Wenxuan said jokingly and closed the fan.

He Xuan was noncommittal, just smiled faintly and motioned to Ruolan to take care of Meng Meng.

After a while, the runner brought a few small dishes on delicate plates, and in the middle was a large portion of glutinous rice chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

Cai Wenxuan brushed aside the lotus leaf and said, "Let these people around us also taste it!" As he spoke, he looked back at Ruolan and motioned for her to also clip a piece of glutinous rice chicken.

"It's nature." He Xuan didn't treat Ruolan and Qing'er as slaves in the first place, but when he heard his cousin say this, he only had displeasure on his face, but he was not seen by the people in the house.

As one exquisite dish after another was served, several people were eating, you said, I said, chatting very happily.

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside, with the sound of men cursing and the voices of many people talking.

"What's going on?" He Xuan didn't really hear it, and asked worriedly.

Cai Wenxuan blinked his eyes and whispered a few words to the subordinate beside him, who immediately went out to find out the news after listening to the order.

"Don't worry, there's still a palace guard ambushing nearby to protect you anyway, isn't it?" Cai Wenxuan smiled, hiding the nervousness on his face.

The Great Zhou Secret Guard is a mysterious force belonging to the royal family. These people were all orphans, and they received very cruel secret training since they were children, and they were directly ordered by the Great Zhou Tianzi. They were responsible for keeping the royal family safe, carrying out secret activities such as assassinations, surveillance, etc.

The family lords of the Great Zhou Dynasty each raised a group of dead soldiers, but in terms of their martial arts and viciousness, they were far inferior to these secret guards.

Every time the prince and princess leave the palace, although they will not be protected by a group of martial arts masters behind them, the secret guards will set up a protective net around them, and once there is anything unusual, they will immediately appear and loyally protect the lord.

I don't know what the situation is outside, He Xuan hasn't seen the secret guard for a long time, and he shuddered in his heart.

Could it be that today, she wants to witness this sword light and blood shadow with her own eyes?
