Goolan Courtyard, it's really so magnificent!

The colorful lanterns are hung high, each eaves are hung with a long red, the previous street is still deserted, and there is a sea of people in front of the Goolan Courtyard!

"Hey, the girl in the capital is pretty too!" Bai Rong "played the dragon and the phoenix" in the crowd.

Since the outbreak of the plague, I have never seen such a spectacular spectacle.

"If Yuwen Changqing sees this scene, he will definitely doubt his governance ability, and the corner of the Goolan Courtyard in the capital is too much better than Luoyang City." Yan Yunting couldn't help but sigh.

Wujie frowned: "Don't you think it's strange? King Qi is terminally ill and dying, and the whole city is still celebrating like this, which is really a bit ...... Odd. ”

"There must be a reason for being weird, so let's go in and take a look?" Bai Rong rushed in first.

"Don't you want a ticket for such a place?" Yan Yunting also squeezed towards the door with Wujie.

At this time, I heard others say: "This is the order of the palace, Goolan Courtyard will be reopened for three days, saying that it is to get rid of the boredom brought by the plague to everyone, and to make the prince chong chong happy!" ”

Yan Yunting muttered: "I've heard that I've been happy to get married, I've been happy at the birthday banquet, and it's the first time I've seen the opening of the hook bar to wash, these people in the capital are really good at playing......"

Entering the Goolan Courtyard, in addition to the boiling vocals, there are all kinds of vocal music, singing big operas, pulling big dramas, playing acrobatics, performing on stage, and applauding off the stage......

"Girl, they don't like those tricks, you see I'll change one for you!"

Bai Rong didn't know what method he used, but he asked the women to get together, and he stood in the women's pile, first spread out his hands to show that there was nothing, and then gently rubbed his fists, slowly, slowly, there was an extra golden hairpin in his hand.

"Wow...... That's amazing! How did you come up with it? ”

"I guess I stole it from somewhere, right?"

"How can this be stolen? Today's golden hairpin sends a beautiful woman, who wants it? Who wants? ”

"I want it! I'm going to! ”

Women flocked to Bai Rong, a young and delicate body, a thin waist of willows, and a burst of turbulent waves, Bai Rong was so happy that he couldn't extricate himself!

"Wine pond meat forest, sin and sin ......" Wujie shook his head again and again.

When Yan Yunting dragged Bai Rong out of the pile of women, he was bare-chested, untidy, and had a few lipstick marks on his face:

"Brother Bai, don't overdo it, we are here for a purpose."

Bai Rong sorted out his clothes and said with a smile: "It's just fun, the little girl in the capital is really easy to deceive, hehe......"

"Where's my golden hairpin! Where's the golden hairpin on my head! Who stole my golden hairpin! A fat woman in the crowd clutched her hair in a bun on her head and shouted.

"Hurry up, hurry up, this girl is a heavyweight!" Bai Rong pulled Wujie and Yan Yunting and hurriedly ran upstairs.

On the second floor of Goolan is a circular corridor, wide enough to run a horse-drawn carriage, and behind the corridor are embedded independent houses, dedicated to the pastime of the rich and famous.

The trio leaned against the fence and performed from a high point of view over the theaters on the first floor. Tick the tick, maybe that's the tick.

Yan Yunting said with a smile: "If you want to say that you are really romantic, it is none other than Brother Bai." ”

Wujie snorted coldly: "Stealing women's things to coax women, if this is romantic, then there will be no nasty people in the world." ”

Bai Rong shook his head as a scholar: "No, no, no, this trick is called 'borrowing flowers to offer Buddha', and in popular terms, there are only two words - white prostitution!" ”

"Okay, okay, this Goolan Courtyard will be open for free for three days, and when our business is done, it's not too late for you to come to prostitute again, now we have to go to Lu Kun." Yan Yunting said.

Bai Rong changed his laughter, and his expression became serious: "I'm afraid that this hook bar won't be opened tomorrow morning." ”

Yan Yunting frowned slightly: "What did you find?" ”

Bai Rong pointed to the various artists performing in the theater downstairs and said, "Didn't I tell you before? The killers of the Black Dragon Society can be blind, dramatist, juggling team...... I also remember Brother Yan, you once said that a killer who can disguise himself can't hide the murderous aura in his eyes, so take a closer look? ”

The musicians who play the violin are vigorous and powerful, the pace of singing is steady, and the jugglers are really swordsman...... Their eyes seem to be calm but they are secretly murderous, all of them are hunters who are good at disguise, waiting for something, waiting for an opportunity to move.

"It's not just these artists, but there are also killers lurking in this group of people watching the excitement." Bai Rong said.

Yan Yunting really admired this thief, "How did you find them?" ”

Bai Rong smiled: "I squeezed into the crowd, not just to touch the woman's buttocks, I touched many people's bodies, and found that out of every ten people, at least two of them had knives in their arms." ”

Yan Yunting was surprised: "There are at least a thousand people down here, isn't there two or three hundred killers lurking?" ”

"There shouldn't be so many, but there must be about a hundred," Bai Rong said again: "There is such a grand gathering, it is still held in the name of the palace, and there is not a team of soldiers patrolling, obviously someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to kill people tonight." ”

Yan Yunting said in a deep voice: "Those who are qualified to mobilize the army, except for the prince, I can no longer think of anyone else. ”

Wujie said: "And it just so happens that the prince is holding a banquet in this hook fence. ”

Bai Rong sneered: "No, all conspiracies have surfaced, the prince wants to kill people here, kill some people who will threaten his succession to the throne." ”

Yan Yunting took a deep breath: "It turns out that in such a grand and prosperous hook column, there is actually a Hongmen banquet. ”

Wujie said: "He shouldn't have come to kill Lu Kun." ”

"Maybe he asked Lu Kun to help him kill someone," Yan Yunting looked at Bai Rong: "Do you know where Lu Kun and the prince are?" ”

Bai Rong pointed to the top of his head and said: "There are three floors in Goolan Courtyard, the first floor is juggling and singing that is not in the stream, the second floor is a grace house specially opened for rich and famous people, and the third floor is a high-end place that only princes and nobles are qualified to enter, so the prince and Lu Kun must be on the third floor." ”

"Let's go up and have a look."

The three of them planned to go upstairs, but as soon as they stepped on the stairs, two black-clothed swordsmen jumped down and stopped them:

"The prince has a banquet on the third floor, and idle people are not allowed to enter."

There are two black-clothed swordsmen in the stairwell, and there are two black-clothed swordsmen guarding the staircase, and there may be more black-clothed swordsmen upstairs.

"At least they all have Xuan Realm force, the number is unknown, don't break in." Yan Yunting whispered, and retreated to the second floor again with Wujie and Bai Rong.

"We've got to find a way to get up." Wujie said.

Bai Rong proposed: "Since the stairs can't be passed, why don't you go up to the house and remove the tiles and go down from the roof?" ”

Yan Yunting shook his head and said: "Even the guards are Xuan Realm forces, and I am afraid that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is on this floor, and it is very risky to sneak in." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Just when the three of them were at a loss, suddenly a familiar voice stopped them from behind:

"Yan Daxia, Bai Daxia, Master of the Unringed?"

The voice was heard, Li Qun, the third son of King Qi.

Li Qun ran upstairs with two servants excitedly, "Oh, today at the gate of the city, I thought it would be difficult to meet the three benefactors, but I didn't expect to meet you here!" ”

"What are you doing here?" Yan Yunting asked.

Li Qun said: "On the third day of the opening of the Gooban, the prince set up a banquet and called me to come to watch the opera and listen to the music, and by the way, I picked up the wind and washed the dust. ”

Yan Yunting, Bai Rong, and Wujie, the three of them each glanced at each other, and they probably understood who this "Hongmen Banquet" was against.

"Your Royal Highness, did you only bring two servants?" Yan Yunting asked.

Li Qun pointed to the door and said, "There is another one who is tethering a horse, a total of three people." ”

Yan Yunting raised his eyebrows: "You didn't bring a few bodyguards?" ”

Li Qun said bitterly: "It's not that a few of you haven't walked all the way with me, in addition to my wife and children and a few servants, where are there bodyguards?" ”

"But this kind of place where dragons and snakes are mixed must bring a few bodyguards to defend yourself," Bai Rong hooked Li Qun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Why don't we be your bodyguards?" ”

Li Qun was naturally happy, but then regretted: "It's a pity that I am shy in my pocket and can't afford to pay the three bodyguards." ”

Bai Rong waved his hand and said: "Hey, we can be regarded as friends and confidants along the way, don't be so polite, we don't want your remuneration, just your three servants...... Clothes! ”

"My servant's clothes?" Li Qun was confused.

"Yes, our outfit is too temperamental, and those princes and nobles upstairs must not be used to it."

"That'...... Xiao Yi, Ah Cai, you go find Li Qi and change your clothes to the three of you. ”

"By the way, find three more hats to come back."

The two servants must have retreated, and after a while they took another servant upstairs.

The servants were all very thin, but fortunately they were loosely dressed, and they could barely be put on.

Yan Yunting and the three of them changed into the servants' clothes, each tore three curtains and covered their faces, and finally put on their hats, lowered the brim of their hats, and after a simple change of clothes, no one could see their identities.

"Let's go, Your Highness, let's go to the feast."

……

Led by Li Qun, the black-clothed swordsman did not stop him, but respectfully led the four to the door of the theater:

"Third son, His Royal Highness the Prince will hold a banquet inside, but if the bodyguards want to enter the venue, they must unload their swords, this is the rule."

Yan Yunting and the three of them didn't have any weapons, only a short knife on Bai Rong's waist, and after unloading it, the four of them walked into the theater.

The theater is not big, due north is a stage, there are 34 seats under the stage, the decoration is chic and elegant, the sound of the piano is endless, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, the stage has not yet started at the moment, only a few musicians are playing behind the scenes. Flute stroke.

There is a round table in the center of the theater, the table is full of jade plates, delicacies, elixir wine, six people have sat around the round table, and the chief dart head Lu Kun Yanran is one of them.

"Oops! Third brother, you're finally here, but I'll wait for my brother! A middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a jade belt around his waist and a mustache on his lips, when he saw Li Qun entering the arena, his face was almost rotten with a smile, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, took Li Qun's hand and beckoned him to take a seat.

This person should be the prince Li Xun.

Yan Yunting and the three of them were guarding behind Li Qun, and the other six people who were seated except for Lu Kun were all standing behind three or five bodyguards, and it seemed that everyone was afraid of this banquet.

"Third brother, it's been seven or eight years since we last met, right? Do you still recognize me? ”

"Where is the second brother? We grew up and studied together since childhood, how could I not recognize you? ”

"Third brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time? If it weren't for this plague, it would be really hard for our brothers to get together and drink! ”

"That's right, that's right, our four brothers went their separate ways after being separated, it's rare to get together, and we must not get drunk today!"

"Come, come, drink!"

……

After some conversation at the wine table, the identities of the few people sitting down were roughly clear-

The person who organized this drinking party was the prince Li Xun; The man sitting on Li Xun's right hand and slightly bloated body is the second son Li Huo; The young man sitting on Li Huo's right hand is Li Xuan, the fourth son;

In addition to the four princes and Lu Kun, the other two are Xu Shida, the commander of the forbidden army in the capital, and Liu Yanliang, the curtain of the Qi Palace.

There were seven people at this table, each with a smile on their faces, looking harmonious and harmonious, but in fact, they knew better than anyone else that these were just politeness and flattery.

"Big brother, how is my father's illness? I just arrived in the capital this afternoon, and I haven't had time to visit his old man's house yet. Li Qun asked suddenly.

Li Xun replied casually: "Third brother, don't worry, my father has been taken care of by me, and his condition has gradually improved, and it won't be long before he can get out of bed." ”

"Can I go into the palace tomorrow?" Li Qun said longingly.

"Hey! Third brother, you don't know, my father is suffering from a stubborn disease, there is a risk of infection, I am very cautious every time I go in, although you are strong, but you still have a child at home, don't bring the virus back, so, when your father is sick, you can go in and see him again. ”

"But—"

"By the way, how can you not listen to the music when you come to this Goolan Courtyard? Tonight, let's not talk about the affairs of the family and the country, only about the wind and snow! ”
