Chapter 480: Secret Meeting
I have to say that if the identity of the prince of the Prime Minister wants to make money, it is really too easy.
In just a few days, eight million taels of research funds have been raised for the fourth sister, and if the girl saves some money, there should be no funding problems for at least the next two years.
When I walked out of the pawnshop called Chang'an, it was already dark outside.
However, as the headquarters of the Cheonan Chamber of Commerce, the streets outside are still full of traffic, and all kinds of inscription lights are like neon lights in the previous life, showing the desire of the night vividly.
"Third son, there is no reason for Xiao Lao'er to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to send you back today."
Inside the carriage, Wang Yuqian cautiously asked, "Do you want to follow Xiao Lao'er back home tonight?" ”
Sitting by the window lattice of the carriage, Xu Yuan was blowing the cold wind, and his dark eyes reflected the prosperity of Di'an.
As far as the eye can see, there are casinos, green buildings, and wine shops, and all kinds of people are indulging in them.
When the inquiry came into his ears, Xu Yuan did not look back, still looking at the scenery on the street, and replied casually:
"I don't have a place I want to go tonight."
Wang Yuqian obviously became a little nervous when he heard this, and said quickly in a low voice:
"With today's inquiry from His Royal Highness the Prince, if he dares to offend the prince again, the little second child will definitely be severely punished."
Xu Yuan glanced at the other party when he heard this, with a deep groan in his eyes.
This is not the first time he has gone to Wang Yuqian's little old man's house, after all, he is now the illegitimate son of the other party on the surface, and he has been there two or three times in the past few months.
But the other party's house is quite messy.
The big room, the second room, the third room, and a group of concubines perform palace fighting dramas in the courtyard of the deep house every day.
I remember the first time I went to this little old man's house, Wang Yuqian held a banquet for him, and everything went smoothly, until after the meal, when the big house with a bit of meanness suddenly said that Xu Yuan knelt down to give tea to the elders.
This is a very normal process for illegitimate children to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but it almost scared Wang Yuqian, who was sitting on the main seat, out of anger.
However, because he couldn't reveal his identity in the slightest, Wang Yuqian could only say some prevarication words at the dinner to reveal the matter, and then kowtow to his losers in private to apologize.
Xu Yuan didn't take it to heart, because he knew that this was the norm faced by illegitimate children in this era.
However, Yu Qian seems to have been worried that he will keep this in mind.
After all
His temper is too famous in Di'an City.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly felt that he might as well spend it outside tonight.
Although experiencing house fighting is a new experience, after all, this thing is someone's family affair, and it's always bad for an outsider to use this identity to make someone's house a chicken.
The carriage engraved with the purple and gold lines representing the three major members slowly drove past an elegantly decorated and atmospheric Qing building when Xu Yuan hesitated.
Xu Yuan subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced up, the plaque on it, and then his eyes suddenly froze.
The plaque is engraved with three big characters of the pen walking dragon and snake, Yacui Palace.
And at the entrance of the hall under this plaque, he saw one of his acquaintances again.
"Stop."
The hesitant mind immediately made a decision, Xu Yuan hooked the corners of his lips, looked at the back, and said with a smile:
"Tonight, my son suddenly wants to spend the night in this Yacui Palace."
Qinglou is not a green building, let alone a fence.
Although the three are easily confused by the world, they are quite different.
Goolan is meat, Qinglou is mixed meat and vegetarian, and Qinglou is vegan, and the people in the museum are all good families who sell their art and do not sell their bodies.
And the customer groups they face are also different.
The Great Yan World is different from Xu Yuan's previous life, although it is still a completely patriarchal society among mortals, but due to the existence of cultivators, the status of women in the superstructure is not low.
And places like Qinglou also came into being for this.
After all, if a group of young sect disciples want to go out to find a pastime, the male disciples can't just take those senior sisters and junior sisters to the place of fireworks in Goolang, right?
At the moment of stepping into the entrance hall, as the lobby with carved beams and paintings was introduced, a faint jasmine incense also entered the nasal cavity, fragrant but not greasy, with a slight refreshing effect.
His gaze swept around the hall, and the corners of Xu Yuan's lips hooked slightly.
The guests walking in this Yacui Palace basically have cultivation, and many of them are not low.
Although Yacui Palace is not the largest Qing building in Di'an City, it is the highest consumption in Di'an City.
And the reason for this is that several of the most famous prostitutes in the Great Yan Dynasty are from Yacui Palace.
These famous prostitutes are not selling their bodies in the real sense, cultivating as well, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and being good at dancing with long sleeves.
In order to seek a one-sided relationship, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen have spent a lot of money on this, and even worshiped her as a goddess.
This is probably the root of human inferiority, and what you can't get is the best.
I remember that he had an unforgettable in-depth exchange with a famous prostitute, made trouble in this Yacui Palace, and was beaten by Hua Hong's old man.
Now, Xu Yuan understands why Hua Hong was so angry at the beginning.
The value of these prostitutes is very high, and they are not just a cash cow for the Cheonan Chamber of Commerce.
Each of them is carefully selected, no matter how bad they look, or they are all one in a million, and they have been brainwashed into the dead soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion since childhood.
The cultivation of some of them was not even weaker than that of those sect Tianjiao.
In the near future, they may be issued as wives to some important people as concubines for surveillance, or they may directly become high-ranking guests in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Thinking about these things in his heart, Xu Yuan finally used his spiritual vision to find the person he was looking for in the lobby.
Yes, it's Li Yunqing again.
Li Yunqing was sitting lazily on a soft couch behind a screen in the corner of the lobby of Yacui Palace at the moment, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Looks like he's waiting for someone.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan's narrow Danfeng eyes couldn't help but show a touch of surprise.
There is an area specially set up by Yacui Palace for guests to wait, but it is impossible to wait in line with the identity of Li Yunqing's three princes, in other words.
Is he here to wait for someone?
It's a small detail.
This kid could have entered the private room and waited for the visitors while enjoying the services of a famous prostitute, but he chose to wait in this lobby.
There are two possibilities.
The identity of the person who came was very noble, so noble that even Li Yunqing could not be the first to sit at the table.
And the second is that Li Yunqing has a request for that visitor.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of thought, and he slowly walked towards the place where the other party was.
"Brother Wang?"
When Xu Yuan walked ten steps away from Li Yunqing, he opened his eyes, looked at the object personally recruited by his brother with a little surprise, and said with a smile: "You are also here tonight?" ”
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said softly:
"I came here today to buy some items from the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, and I will take a break here after the fact."
Li Yunqing sat up slightly straight, smiling without smiling:
"That's a coincidence, this king is also here tonight to meet a guest from afar."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately heard that Li Yunqing was telling him to get out of here, don't disturb him tonight's business.
So, is he leaving?
Of course not.
finally caught the other party, and he was ready to play some autumn breeze here with the other party.
Smiling and sitting opposite Li Yunqing, Xu Yuan asked softly:
"That night, I talked with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he mentioned that Your Highness, it seems that you are going to envoy to Dongying Island?"
When Li Yunqing saw the other party sitting down, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a touch of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
His words should be clear, and this man does not look like a stupid person.
After a moment of silence, Li Yunqing smacked his tongue in his heart and slowly sat up straight:
"It seems that Brother Huang really values Brother Wang, and this kind of thing has actually been talked about with you."
Saying,
Li Yunqing slowly stood up and turned around to leave:
"If this king has something to do tonight, he won't disturb the prince's Yaxing."
"Smack."
His wrist was grabbed by the bastard son of the squire.
“.” Li Yunqing.
The familiar touch of the palm of his hand came to his heart, and the corners of Li Yunqing's eyes jumped uncontrollably for a moment, and he turned his eyes back a little stiffly
And then
He gave him a smiling look.
Damn it.
Grass.
The hanged man really didn't die!
There are not many guests in Yacui Palace, and there are few people who make loud noises here under their own identity, and they are basically some whispered conversations.
At this moment, these small voices in the antique and elegant lobby suddenly quickly fell silent.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xu Yuan immediately realized that this should be the person waiting for Li Yunqing to arrive.
Xu Yuan and Li Yunqing looked back at the door hall made of vermilion willow wood almost at the same time.
Li Yunqing scolded his mother in his heart, and there was a touch of pain in his eyes.
And Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange color.
The visitors and the surrounding guests seem a little out of place, whether it is their appearance or clothing.
The long golden hair like a waterfall falls down her waist, the tall nose, and the slender and dense golden eyelashes above the blue eyes make the woman look like an elf coming out of a painting.
It was not wearing the silk brocade dress of Da Yan, but a delicate and complicated tunic skirt with concave curves, revealing large areas of white skin on her collarbones and arms, and a Western sword pinned to her waist.
And behind the elf-like blonde woman, there was a huge tin can in the shape of a human.
With each step, there is a dull sound of metal grinding.
“.”
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan thought of the internal reference he had seen in the study.
He always knew that the group of sea visitors who invaded Dongying had sent envoys to Beijing, but he didn't know that the envoy sent was a woman, and he didn't expect that Li Yunqing, the hanged man, would meet with him in such a high-profile manner.
At this point in his thoughts, Xu Yuan suddenly realized a piece of information.
Li Yunqing seems to be really going to set off to Dongying Island on behalf of the Great Yan Imperial Court to interfere in the invasion war launched by visitors from the sea.
