Chapter 53: The Teahouse
"Young Master Tao must take care of this trip. The crown prince Wang Chengchen looked at Tao Duyu, who came to say goodbye, and said, seemingly concerned and advised, but his tone was extremely indifferent.
Tao Duyu's ability and martial arts didn't need him to worry in the slightest, but he didn't expect that as soon as she heard that Wei Xiwan was serving in the court, her attitude would change so quickly, from the beginning of the resolute refusal to investigate the case, to now she invited herself to go to the city to find out.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, I will not return empty-handed. Tao Duyu arched his hand.
Needless to say, he immediately turned around and walked out of the palace, turned over neatly and got on his horse, his long hair fluttered away at a gallop, and gradually disappeared into the huge palace.
Behind her are a group of subordinates who follow her, most of them are her subordinates, but there are also those arranged by Wang Chengchen, called personal protection, which is actually fair and honest surveillance.
This trip to the city of Lucheng to thoroughly investigate the peerless matter, Tao Duyu has already made a calculation.
If it is found out that Wei Xiwan has nothing to do with the peerless world, then she can let go and report the case back to the prince one by one, and even if necessary, she will destroy the peerless with her own hands.
Since she is a talent, then she will recruit for the imperial court, if she does not obey, then she will completely eradicate this gang that may threaten her status in the future.
In this way, she can have a place in the court, and she can take care of each other with Wei Xiwan.
If the peerless lord is indeed Wei Xiwan, then with her Tao Duyu and Wei Xiwan joining forces, this matter can definitely be concealed.
The breeze blew, and on the edge of the cliff where Wei Xi used to practice martial arts and swords, a woman was dancing with a sword here.
The body style and body shape are actually very different from Wei Xiwan, and from a distance, even Tang Feng, who has been with Wei Xiwan for so long, is a little difficult to distinguish.
Wei Xi made a cup of tea on the side, and looked at the Gongyi Kelan who was practicing the sword in front of him very pleasantly, his eyes were full of smiles, and his expression was full of relief.
She really didn't expect that Gong Yi Kelan's talent could be compared to her, and she also personally taught this smart and beautiful woman martial arts swordsmanship.
Even, she prepared the same clothes as herself.
Zhu's lips curled slightly, Wei Xiwan's clear eyes flowed, and the arrival of Gong Yi Kelan could be described as a favorable time and place for her.
"Your Excellency. Tang Feng walked up to Wei Xiwan's side, bent down and spoke softly.
Since the people of the rivers and lakes called Wei Xiwan the lord, the peerless people have all changed their words, and they are no longer called "boss".
"What's the matter?" Wei Xi glanced sideways at Tang Feng, but saw that his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"After receiving the news, the imperial court sent someone to the city to thoroughly investigate our peerlessness. Tang Feng was a little worried, Wei Xiwan was also an official of the imperial court, and if his identity was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wei Xiwan's face was not surprised at all when he heard this, and he was not nervous at all, but the smile on his face pointed to Gong Yi Kelan who was practicing swords, and slowly spoke:
"Look at Lan'er, who is it like?"
"Like ...... Your Excellency. As soon as Tang Feng blurted out, he instantly understood Wei Xiwan's intentions.
He originally thought that the public loss of Kelan was just a little similar to Wei Xiwan, but he didn't expect that it was more of Wei Xiwan's deliberate behavior.
From words and deeds to clothing and clothing, to martial arts and swordsmanship, as well as the arrogance of Gongyi Kelan, it is enough to make it difficult for anyone who has seen Wei Xiwan with his face covered to distinguish the true from the fake.
"Who is the person sent by the imperial court?" Wei Xiwan no longer looked at Tang Feng, turned his head and continued to look at Gongyi Kelan not far away, raising his hand to send tea to his lips.
"The young master of the Sword Village of the Sect. Tang Feng replied, and the worry that had just disappeared appeared on his face again.
Young Master Tao is famous in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to do things for the imperial court this time, and he checked that they were peerless.
"Tao ......" Wei Xi just handed the teacup to his mouth for a moment, "What's the name Tao?"
"No, the people in the rivers and lakes only call Tao Shaozhu, and very few people know his real name. ”
"Got it, go down. Wei Xiwan lowered his eyes, and his eyebrows changed to a faint sadness.
The young master Tao of Lizong Jianzhuang, Wang Chengchen can also take it for his own use, which is indeed a good means. It's just that this is not a good thing for her peerless, and I don't know if she can hide it from this young master Tao.
"Young master, the city has arrived. ”
Tao Duyu looked at the city gate not far away, his heart trembled slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly collected the thoughts in his eyes, and ordered: "Enter the city!"
The Imperial City of Xiyue Kingdom.
The bustling street was full of people, and a man in plain clothes but with clear eyebrows was walking down the street and looking around, so curious that the piano he was carrying along the way could not feel how heavy it was at this moment.
Du Lichen originally followed Han Yuqin's guidance all the way to find Dong Wuye's master, but not long ago, Han Yuqin suddenly became silent, and lost his call between Dong Wuye.
He had no choice but to walk in the general direction, and as he walked, he walked to the Imperial City of Xiyue Kingdom.
The unprecedented prosperity made Du Lichen feel novel, he grew up on the sacred mountain of Beiyu since he was a child, and he had never been to such a crowded place, and he had never seen these new things.
The summer sun was like fire, but after a while, Du Lichen, who was walking on the street, felt a dry mouth, and happened to see an elegant teahouse in front of him, so he walked in without hesitation.
"Look at the guy who just walked in below, it's the one who looks dumbfounded, look at the clothes he wears, can he afford to drink this tea?"
At a table on the second floor of the teahouse, a young man pointed at Du Lichen who had just walked in with a mocking face, and said to the people next to him that every part of his body revealed his identity as a rich man.
This is the most famous teahouse in the imperial city, called "Wiss Qin", there is no hundred taels of silver, and you can't drink a pot of tea in this teahouse. Both the tea set and the tea leaves are comparable to the tea in front of the Imperial Palace, so everyone in the Imperial City knows about this teahouse.
But Du Lichen has just arrived, how can he know. Du Lichen saw that there were few people in this teahouse, and he lived on the mountain for a long time and liked to be clean.
But I didn't think about why there are few people in this teahouse on this lively street, not because the tea is not delicious, but because there are not many people who can afford it.
Another man in the private seat on the second floor looked at Du Lichen with interest, this man drank two pots of tea in one go, and drank this tea that was comparable to gold as white water, this was the first time he had seen it.
Gai Jun pursed his lips and continued to look at Du Lichen, he was sure that this man couldn't afford to pay for these two pots of tea, and it seemed that it was almost time for him to be a hero...... It's time to save people.
"Xiao Er, how much is it?" After a pause, feeling that the heat on his body had disappeared a lot, Du Lichen was ready to check out and leave.
"Guest, you have a total of seven hundred taels of silver. The teahouse guy said with a smile.
He saw that this person was dressed ordinarily in the morning, but he didn't dare to be too lazy, and he had seen a lot of incognito bigwigs, in case he accidentally offended, it would be troublesome.
"You...... What are you talking about?" Du Lichen, who had just taken out two taels of silver, was stunned and asked again in disbelief.
Seeing the astonishment on Du Lichen's face, the guy knew that he didn't know that this was the "Wizen" teahouse, and he couldn't afford to pay the money at all, so his face immediately became ugly: "I said, you have a total of seven hundred taels of silver." ”
"I ...... I don't have that much money. Du Lichen said with some nervousness, he looked around, it seemed that this teahouse was so shabby from him.
"No money......? Ouch!" The guy was halfway through his speech when he was hit by a teacup thrown downstairs, and the expensive jade teacup fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
Du Lichen looked up and saw a handsome boy dressed in a green shirt, sitting casually in the elegant seat upstairs, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, picking up the teapot with one hand, and picking up another teacup with the other hand to continue throwing the guy.
"Hey...... Gai Gongzi, you are ......" The guy put on a smiling face, covered his smashed head, and raised his head to look at Gai Jun.
"I paid for him. Gai Jun waved his hand and spoke proudly.
"Mr. Gai is really a good person. The guy said flatteringly, and reminded Du Lichen, who was still stunned on the side, "Don't hurry up and thank Master Gai." ”
"Oh, thank you Gongzi Gai!" Du Lichen bent down and saluted seriously.
"How are you going to thank you?" Gai Jun smiled and looked down at Du Lichen, this person's stunned appearance made him can't help but want to tease.
"This ......" Du Lichen didn't know how to answer for a while, he didn't have anything of value on his body, except for this cold jade qin, but this is a priceless treasure, he will never hand it over.
"Come up first and pour me a cup of tea. Gai Jun put down the delicate teapot in his hand and seemed to be very patient waiting for Du Lichen to come upstairs.
As soon as Du Lichen went upstairs and walked up to Gai Jun, he saw Gai Jun say with a playful face: "Be my little brother!"
