The whip of the coachman not only quickened the pace of the horses, but also separated the crowd on the road.

The vehicle took advantage of this gap and quickly slid through the narrow passage of the market.

A guard in the car, dressed in a dark suit, opened the curtain, glanced out the window, turned around and said, "Lord Wang, Peixian has arrived." ”

"Hmm," Liu Yikang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, replied in a low voice, still not moving.

"Drunk and sleepy in the city that never sleeps, neon everywhere, a good style in the wine glass, the most disdainful is the lovesick ......"

Outside the car window, there was a beautiful song like a yellow warbler.

Liu Yikang suddenly sobered up and glanced sideways out of the car window.

The vehicle happened to pass downstairs in the theater, and the windows and doors of the upper floor were open, and the seats were full of friends.

I saw a beautiful woman with sorrowful eyes dancing her skirt sleeves and singing affectionately. On its appearance, it can be described by the word 'Allure'.

In the intervening moment, the eyes of this beautiful woman met him by chance, but it was only a brief glimpse, and then wandered away faintly.

Liu Yikang was both delighted and disappointed, he opened the curtain, strode outside the car door, stood on tiptoe, raised his head and looked upstairs from another angle.

The vehicle that had been moving took him to another window view, but it happened to be directly opposite the girl.

Liu Yikang happily waved his hands at the girl, revealing a dumb smirk.

The girl upstairs glanced at him lightly, then walked away.

"Parking! Stop it! Liu Yikang anxiously shouted to the coachman.

The guards who followed hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”

The car stopped smoothly at the gate of the theater, Liu Yikang jumped out of the car, waved to the guards and said, "Yinghan, go, listen to the play with your master!" ”

Ying Han was stunned for a while, and hurriedly followed: "Lord Wang, King Yidu is still waiting for you in the mansion, why did you come here to listen to the play?!" ”

Liu Yikang couldn't hear Ying Han's persuasion at all, so he came to the second floor of the theater in two or three steps, groped for an empty seat and sat down, and only put all his heart on the girl on the stage.

Ying Han couldn't, so he had to carefully guard Liu Yikang's back, he didn't have the heart to listen to the play.

"Xiao Er, this is your top card? What's her name? Liu Yikang took advantage of the gap between the second little one of the shop and the tea and snacks, and asked him with great interest.

The shopkeeper immediately said in a proud tone: "That's not it! The one on the stage is called Tatelinlang, our shopkeeper spent a lot of money to invite to sit in the formation, in terms of singing voice, posture, appearance, this radius of a hundred miles, no one can compare to her! What's more, she has a three-point appearance of a painted face, and in this regard, other theaters can't compare at all! ”

"Paint your face?" Liu Yikang was a little puzzled, because in his impression, the painted face was still the woman with dark spots on her face and vulgar manners. When he heard that Xiao Er compared the girl to a painted face, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "How can the vulgar state of the painted face be compared to the girl who painted the face?" Don't say it, even if you want to be a howl for your family, it's not such a comparison! ”

It's the first time I've heard someone say that the painting is vulgar, and there is a look of disdain in the surprise, only when this open-mouthed son makes up anything against his will in order to please Lily Linlang. So, he stopped talking, put down the teapot in disgust, and walked away.

Everything was ready in the Yidu Palace, and the maiden and mother-in-law knelt on the ground, just waiting for Liu Yikang to arrive.

In the hall, Liu Che'er kept pacing back and forth outside the door, and after waiting for a long time to see Liu Yikang's figure, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, "The fourth brother should have arrived, nothing will happen, right?" He looked at Xiao Minglang and said.

Xiao Minglang replied: "There are our people in this radius of 100 miles, I have long heard that they have arrived outside the city gate, if something happens, they should have received the news at this time, and the prince is worried." ”

Huayan stepped forward and said, "If the prince is really not at ease, I will let Limu go and have a look?" ”

Liu Che'er shook his head and sighed lightly: "No need, I'm just worried that the fourth brother is playful and attracted by something strange and forgot to go home." ”

"The prince and the king of Pengcheng have had a deep brotherly relationship since childhood, how could the king of Pengcheng forget the prince? Don't worry, prince. Yutai Mingyue also persuaded from this.

"Report! King Pengcheng has arrived in Pei County! A guard walked briskly outside the door, leaned over and bowed.

"Fourth brother is here? Where is he? Liu Che'er stood up and asked impatiently.

The guard replied: "According to the coachman, the prince is listening to the play in a theater next to the west gate. ”

"Listening to a play?" Liu Che'er asked in surprise, suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, it's his style!" ”

"Now that the fourth prince has arrived in Pei County, the prince should also rest assured." Xiao Minglang said.

"Oh?" Hua Yan took a slight step forward and asked the guard, "The coachman has come back by himself?" Is there anyone with the prince? ”

The guard replied: "It was the prince who asked the coachman to come back to tell him, and the prince has been accompanied by a personal guard." ”

"The prince only brought one person to Pei County?" Yutai Mingyue asked in surprise.

"Yes!" The guard replied, and stepped down.

"Prepare the car and go to the theater!" Liu Che'er hurriedly instructed the housekeeper.

Huayan raised his hand to stop it, turned to Liu Che'er and said: "The prince is the elder brother, how can there be any reason for the elder brother to invite the younger brother." Just let me go with Minglang. ”

Liu Che'er listened to Huayan's words the most, but he was afraid that Liu Yikang would be reckless and collide with Huayan, so he changed his mouth and said: "Let's let the general go for the king." ”

Huayan saw through Liu Che'er's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely invite your guests to the house." When the general goes, it will inevitably cause a lot of noise, and it is always inconvenient. ”

Xiao Minglang stepped forward and said, "Yan'er's safety, everything has me." ”

Seeing that Huayan and Xiao Minglang became more and more tacit, Liu Che'er was extremely disappointed, his eyes gradually dimmed, and he nodded absentmindedly, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

Huayan personally arranged a convoy and entourage to go to the theater to greet Liu Yikang.

In history, Liu Yikang has always been a figure that makes the painting incomprehensible. He has a deep relationship with Liu Che'er since he was a child, and he has never had a battle for the throne with Liu Che'er for a while.

Looking at the world, the princes have their own basis, he has soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are concubines in the palace to do internal response, and his reputation is not under Liu Che'er, as long as he makes some efforts, the throne may not be out of reach, but he is willing to sacrifice himself to support Liu Che'er. It can be seen that the brotherhood is deep.

However, according to historical records, after Liu Che'er seized the throne, Liu Yikang, who had been assisting him, took advantage of Liu Che'er's old illness to relapse and was sick in bed.

A brotherhood in which life and death intersect and blood is thicker than water comes to an end. Alack! What a pity!

What Huayan doesn't understand is that since Liu Yikang gave up the battle for the throne, what made him betray his former good brother and seek power and usurp the throne?

Silver? Power?

He is already under one man, above ten thousand, what else can he not get?

Before his thoughts could be answered, the carriage had already arrived outside the theater.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Huayan took out a silk scarf from his cuffs to cover his face, and then got out of the car and went upstairs at the same time as Xiao Minglang.

It has been several days since they came to Pei County, and they have never noticed this theater, but this is the most prosperous place in the county.

It is not difficult to find Liu Yikang's figure from many people, and the one with the loudest cheers is the one with the loudest cheers.

Huayan and Xiao Minglang glanced at each other, walked quickly through the crowd, and came to Liu Yikang's side.

Xiao Minglang first leaned over and arched his hand: "Xiao Minglang has seen the fourth master!" ”

Hua Yan was silent, and followed behind and bowed gently.

Liu Yikang suddenly looked back and said perfunctorily: "Why are you here?" Wait, I'll talk about it after watching this play! He turned his head to the stage and shouted, "Good! Good! ”

Xiao Minglang wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but was stopped by Huayan.

She took Xiao Minglang's arm and sat aside.

Tate, who was singing on the stage, found Xiao Minglang's arrival in a blink of an eye, and forgot to sing for a while. But after being reminded by Zhong Laosan next to her, she quickly reacted, cheered up, and sang in the best form and best voice.

But look at the eyebrows and eyes, the smile is like a flower, the wine is not intoxicating, and people are drunk!

Liu Yikang was also dumbfounded, unable to speak.

How could Hua Yan and Xiao Minglang have the heart to watch the play, they could only wait patiently. Both of them missed the demeanor on stage for a while.

After the song, Tateshi Linlang reluctantly wanted to retreat, she used her spare eyes to look left and right, but she never saw Xiao Minglang's gaze, raised her head and looked for it, only to find that the woman in red she had seen before was beside him again.

"His eyes are always on her, who is she?!" Thinking bitterly in her heart, Tatelinlang stepped back from the stage with a low ground.

Her mind was all attracted by Xiao Minglang, and she turned a deaf ear to the voice of Amway in the audience.

"Girl! Wait! ”

A call rang out from the crowd.

Tatelinlang stopped embroidering and hid her face to review.

Liu Yikang stepped forward quickly, a little shy, "The girl's song is amazing, I want to invite the girl to sing in the house, I don't know what the girl wants?" ”

Tateshi Linlang only thought it was, it turned out to be the stupid man who would only stare at herself and smirk, she didn't think about it, and refused: "Please forgive the little girl for not being able to agree to the child's request, the little girl will not go anywhere else except the theater." ”

Liu Yikang was not discouraged, and further blocked in front of Tatelinlang, looked at her sincerely and said: "As long as the girl agrees, any conditions can be met!" ”

Tately Linlang has always been arrogant, although she usually likes to be greedy for a little money, but when it comes to touching her bottom line, she will definitely not step on it.

She looked a little disdainful, raised her head and said, "The stars in the sky, Gongzi can also get them?" If the son obtains it, the little girl will agree to the child's request. ”

"......" Liu Yikang froze in place, his shining eyes gradually dimmed.

"What's so hard about girls wanting stars?" Xiao Minglang walked out of the crowd and said with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Minglang appear, Tately Linlang changed her indifferent look, and asked with a smile, "Does Childe have a way?" ”

Xiao Minglang thought about it, picked up a teacup from the table casually, opened it, and said to Tate, "Girl, take a look at this cup." ”

Tately Linlang suppressed the excitement of meeting Xiao Minglang, shy and curious, stepped forward a small step, she looked at the tea in the cup and wondered: "What is the difference between this tea?" ”

Xiao Minglang smiled and pointed to the shadow on the water and said, "The stars are in the girl's eyes, why should the girl look elsewhere?" The girl was naturally beautiful, her eyes shone brightly, and even the real stars were inferior to the girl's eyes. ”

In order to attract Xiao Minglang's attention more, she deliberately made a mistake: "But this star was found by you, not him, you can't count it!" ”

Liu Yikang raised his head and asked Xiao Minglang with his eyes, "Hurry up and help this king!" ”

Xiao Minglang had no choice but to reply: "I am friends with this son, I invite or he invites, it's the same." Then, in my own name, I invited the girl to come into the house and sing, and I hope that the girl will not refuse. ”

When she heard that she had the opportunity to contact Xiao Minglang again, her heart was already happy. She pretended to be cold, nodded lightly and said, "Okay, for the sake of Gongzi who once saved me, I'll go on this trip." But my stepfather must go with me. ”

"So you've known each other for a long time?! No problem! What do you need from the girl, just mention it! Liu Yikang said happily.

Zhong Laosan happily squeezed out of the crowd, stood behind Tatelinlang with a smile, and greeted Liu Yikang and the others. At first, he thought that he was recognized for selling fake medicines, and once hid under the stage, not daring to speak out.

With everyone's eyes, under the personal escort of Liu Yikang, Tately Linlang slowly walked downstairs, followed by the team sent by Liu Che'er to greet her, as if she was treated as a noble concubine.

Before getting into the car, Tate's eyes accidentally fell on the woman in red, but she saw her following the entourage alone.

"It turns out she's just a girl." Tateshiro thought to herself, and a superior smile gradually appeared on her face.
