Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fish Takes the Bait
At night, Yinghualou is very lively.
It is rumored that tonight, the head of Yinghualou, Ji Yao, will have a new show debut, so many old guests of Yinghualou came to cheer, and there are also many guests who came from afar because of the longevity of the owner of Fengxiao Sword Village to come to see its style.
Yinghualou is built near the river, Liu Qin has long expected that tonight will be unprecedented, so he ordered people to set up a high platform on the river early, moved the stage to the river, and rented a big boat to moor directly opposite the stage, used to welcome guests to watch the show, plus the capacity of Yinghualou itself, the capacity of Yinghualou tonight is twice as many as usual.
"Liu Qin still has a lot of ideas." In the guest room with the best view on the top floor of Yinghua Building, Lu Qianmo leaned against the window with an apple in his hand and took in the grand scene downstairs.
Murong Ze waved the folding fan in his hand and said unceremoniously: "Then don't look at who it is." ”
Tsk~ Look at your tsundere. Lu Qianmo closed the window that only opened one opening, sat back in his seat, bit the apple in his hand, and said nothing.
"Hey~ What do you mean?" Murong Ze put away the folding fan, stretched out his hand to snatch the apple from Lu Qianmo's hand, and said dissatisfied.
"Nothing. I was wondering if Yuwen Tuo would show up tonight. ”
Eh~ Murong Ze was a little embarrassed, looked at half of the apple in his hand in embarrassment, and then returned it to the other party. I was thinking about it, but it seems that I was thinking too much.
Lu Qianmo took the apple, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, thinking that she was still a little more tender than her sister.
Downstairs, Zhang You and Yu Yang came together, and the two couldn't help but admire when they saw such a grand occasion in Yinghualou tonight.
Liu Qin saw the two of them come over to say hello, "How is it?" Were you stunned by this scene? ”
The two nodded stunnedly, "A little." ”
Liu Qin wanted to laugh when he saw the two of them like this, "Don't be happy." I have reserved a private room on the second floor for you, and the others have already arrived, so you should go up quickly, and I will be busy greeting the guests. ”
"Alas, wait." Shi Qian blocked Liu Qin's way and whispered in his ear, "Didn't the Lord say that he would pick up the wind and wash the dust for others tonight?" Is there any news on who this person is? ”
Hearing this, Liu Qin glanced at Shi Qian, blocked the corners of his mouth with the fan in his hand, and motioned for Shi Qian to approach.
Seeing this, Shi Qian really thought that Liu Qin had inside information, and immediately listened to it.
"The Lord is on the top floor at the moment, why don't you go up and ask?" The old lady herself has always been curious, if only she knew.
Shi Qian's head shook when he heard this, and his eyes widened, as if he had heard something very terrifying. If you want him to ask the Lord, will you not send a sheep into the mouth of the tiger? Forget it.
Although the two of them spoke quietly, Zhang You on the side heard it clearly, and when he saw Shi Qian's ghost-like appearance, he couldn't help but smile.
Shi Qian was very unhappy when he saw Zhang You laughing at himself, "What are you laughing at, or you go." ”
"I'm not interested in that." Zhang You restrained his smile and said a serious way. "I'm going upstairs, whatever you want."
"Wait, I'll go too." Lend me the guts, and I will not dare to go to the Lord for this.
At the end of the day, a sound of a zither came from the stage on the river, indicating that tonight's show had officially begun. The dancers danced to the music, the guests drank strongly, some talked and laughed, some people talked and laughed, some people drank alone. This is the label of the land of wind and moon in this era.
"Life is only a hundred years in the world, some people waste time, and some people want to sell their art and laughter, or even sell their bodies."
"This is their own fate, and the reincarnation of the He family is not artificially controllable. You have done your best to give them the best. ”
Lu Qianmo drank alcohol, shook the wine glass in his hand, and smiled helplessly. "I understand what you said, but I just felt it. In any era I know, whether it is prosperous or troubled, there will be people who struggle for survival, otherwise there is no such thing as a variety of life. However, some of these situations are due to institutional reasons, and some are due to personal and family reasons. After all, all we can do is a small force, and the one who is in power is the one who can make the biggest change. It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that the current people in power only care about their own scenery, and only care about their ambitions to dominate the world. Let the whole world rekindle the war for his own selfish desires, just to make his life a page that cannot be ignored in the annals of history. Murong Ze said indignantly.
"Murong..."
"Lord." Liu Qin's voice came from outside the door to interrupt Lu Qianmo's words.
"What?"
"There was a prince who asked to see the lord, and his subordinates had already refused, but the son was very insistent, and said that if the lord knew his surname Yu, he would definitely see him." Liu Qin cautiously reported, and had already scolded that Yu Gongzi eight hundred times in his heart, is there anyone surnamed Yu in this world? .
Inside the house, Murong Ze and Lu Qianmo glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "It's here." ”
"Lord?" Seeing that there was no sound coming from the house, Liu Qin dared to call again.
"Go and bring him up."
"Yes."
Hearing Liu Qin's footsteps leaving, Lu Qianmo pointed to the next door and whispered, "Then I'll withdraw first." He then pushed the wall into another room.
Murong Ze quickly cleaned up the house, lest Yuwen Tuo see that there were others here before. Then open all the windows and look like you're enjoying a performance on the river.
Soon, Liu Qin led Yuwen Tuo back. "Lord, Yu Gongzi has arrived."
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and it was indeed Yuwen Tuo and his henchman Jander.
"Jander, just wait outside." Yuwen Tuo commanded.
"Yes."
Then Liu Qin closed the door very interestingly and left on his own.
"The Great Prince, please be seated." Murong Ze still sat in his place and did not get up to greet him. "Murong didn't expect that it was the eldest prince who wanted to see this prince."
Yuwen Tuo automatically ignored Murong Ze's disrespect and sat down beside Murong Ze. "Then who does Murong Gongzi think is coming?"
"My son is also very curious, so I want to see him." Murong Ze poured Yuwen Tuo a glass of wine, "Please." ”
"Thank you."
"If this son remembers correctly, it seems that he has not had a relationship with the eldest prince before."
In the face of Murong Ze's alienation, Yuwen Tuo was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "Today, the prince came here to get acquainted with Murong Gongzi."
"This boy doesn't dare to be a boy." Murong Ze waved the folding fan in his hand, drank a glass of wine, and continued: "Moyan Pavilion opens the door to do business, if the eldest prince wants to do business with the Moyan Pavilion, we can follow the rules, if the Moyan Pavilion and the eldest prince have a fate, it is a good thing, if there is no fate with the eldest prince, don't force it." ”
Yuwen Tuo was very annoyed when he heard this, but his reason told him that this was not the time to turn his face. Looked around the room, and found that there were traces of the existence of a second person before, but the information was wrong? "I didn't expect such a beautiful day to be drunk here by Murong Gongzi?"
When Murong Ze heard this, he waved his hand and pointed to the big boat on the river and said, "Aren't there many people like that?" ”
Yuwen Tuopi didn't smile and said, "Murong Gongzi is really funny. ”
Murong looked helpless and drank a drink, "Actually, this son was just released by someone, so I was the only one who drank alone in this cup." ”
Hearing this, Yuwen Tuo's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh?" I don't know who dared to be so bold not to go to Murong Gongzi's appointment? ”
"Since I am a person from Moyan Pavilion, otherwise how can this son stop here." Murong Ze said casually.
"Is it the Lu Pavilion Master?"
Murong Ze saw Yuwen Tuo's thoughts in his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, although you guessed it right, this son said yes, and if he said no, he didn't. "The eldest prince really knows how to guess." After a pause, he continued: "Presumably, in the eyes of outsiders, this Moyan Pavilion is the only one who has done this, and this son will not care about it. It's a pity that outsiders don't know that there is another person, and this son will forgive him for a thing or two. ”
Eh~ So the person you were waiting for was not Lu Qianmo, but she really didn't come to the Northern Desert? "I wonder who this person is?"
Murong Zefeng's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the wine glass turning in his hand, and his tone was indifferent, "Well, there is no need for this prince to know about it. ”
Hearing this, Yuwen Tuo really had a black face, but Murong Ze directly ignored his emotions and continued to drink by himself.
Murong Ze, you dare not take this prince in your eyes like this today, he will repay this humiliation in the future. Yuwen Tuo raised his head and drank the wine in front of the table, trying to control his emotions.
Murong Ze took in the changes in Yuwen Tuo's expression, and his black eyes carried an imperceptible mockery. This Yuwen Tuo couldn't even deal with Yuwen Han, and he didn't even know that Yuwen Han had a life-saving grace for Qianmo, and he even dared to imagine Moyan Pavilion, and he underestimated Moyan Pavilion. Even if Moyan Pavilion really participates in the battle of various forces one day, the object of support will definitely not be you. Gee~
"This prince will not beat around the bush. I don't know if the Lord of the Lu Pavilion can be in Shifang City at this time? This prince has a big gift to give her. Seeing that Murong Ze didn't sell his face, Yuwen Tuo went straight to the point.
It's finally here. "I don't know if the eldest prince has ever understood, Qianmo has no interest in gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade."
"It's nature. This prince's great gift, the Lord of the Lu Pavilion will definitely like it. ”
"Oh? Why is the eldest prince so sure? ”
Yuwen Tuo smiled and said, "Peach Blossom Valley." ”
"Peach Blossom..." Murong Ze seemed to be very surprised. "The eldest prince is saying that this ceremony is related to Peach Blossom Valley?"
Yuwen Tuo was very satisfied with Murong Ze's surprised appearance, "Exactly." ”
Murong Ze restrained his expression and asked seriously, "Then what do you want?" ”
Yuwen Tuo smiled even more, "Well, this prince wants to talk to the Lord Lu Pavilion in person." ”
Murong Ze looked annoyed and said, "It's a pity that Qianmo is far away in the Western Tang Dynasty. However, I immediately repaired a book, and she would come to Shifang City immediately about the Peach Blossom Valley. ”
The smile on Yuwen Tuo's face froze, "Is the Lord of the Lu Pavilion really not in Shifang City at the moment?" ”
Murong Ze looked serious and said, "The eldest prince means that this prince is lying?" ”
How does this prince know that you are not lying! If there is definite news, will this prince still look for you? Why don't you just find Lu Qianmo! It's a pity that these words Yu Wentuo can only put in his heart, "Then there is Lao Murong Gongzi." ”
"The eldest prince doesn't have to be polite. If there is really news in the hands of the eldest prince, this prince will be grateful to you. ”
At this time, there were bursts of high-pitched cheers outside the window, and the two people in the room heard the voice, only to see a wide red silk flying from eight directions, and a beautiful woman in a big red dress slowly fell from the sky in the center of the stage, and the affectionate and melodious flute sound penetrated the hearts of everyone present.
"The main event of the night begins."
"The location of this room is really excellent, so that this prince can enjoy Miss Ji Yao's performance from the best perspective."
Murong Ze smiled when he heard this.
