Chapter 36: The Charming Liu
The sun is three poles, and noon has arrived.
The progress of the banquet was too cumbersome, much slower than Xu Ping'an imagined, and there were many guests, and people followed from time to time, so the meal has not yet started.
The two brothers were so hungry that they almost fell asleep here.
A loud shout from the courtiers, the banquet began, and food was available.
In fact, it took a process, and Xu Ping'an, the two alternatives, basically no one ate them, and they didn't even touch the chopsticks.
These wealthy businessmen are concerned about whether they can get closer to King Yong, while these scholars are selling Danqing and being scholars and high-ranking people, hoping to attract the attention of King Yong and get an official and a half-job.
Of course, there is no shortage of people who practice martial arts.
Finally, Xu Ping'an's clothes were not obvious, and the two of them who had eaten and drank all the time finally attracted the attention of others.
"Who is that, it seems to be the young man who recently punished rape and evil in Yangzhou City, right?"
"That's right, it's him, Xu Ping'an!"
"What is he doing here, is it possible that the road to the rivers and lakes is not easy to walk, and he also came to the Yongwang Mansion to ask for an official and a half-job?"
"Who knows, but what he has done these days should be able to win the favor of King Yong. β
......
In an instant, there were three or two reckless people holding wine glasses to greet Xu Ping'an, and he responded one by one.
I just feel a little absent-minded, and I say from my heart that this Yongwang Mansion is like sitting on pins and needles.
He also caused a small wave here, and the word Xu Ping'an is still very popular in Yangzhou City.
Soon, in the hall where King Yong was.
"Report, Yangzhou City Xu Ping'an is in the hospital. A soldier knelt down and said.
"Xu Ping'an, that Xu Ping'an?" King Yong was trying on Li Jin in front of the bronze mirror, and asked casually.
"It's which young man who suppressed Liukou a few days ago and beat the second son of Liu Mansion. β
King Yong frowned, and said unhappily: "Isn't it just a reckless man, why do you report everything to me, what are you doing to eat!"
There are too many people who come to flatter, including all kinds of chivalrous people who come to surrender, in fact, most of them are people who have no name, and people who are really capable will not be so vassal.
"Thisβ" Before the soldier could speak, he was forcibly interrupted by King Yong.
"What is this, get out of here, let that reckless get out too, and don't pretend to be. King Yong waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
The family was about to leave, when the voice from upstairs came again.
"Wait!"
With the voice, a woman in a gorgeous dress descended from the second floor, her steps were small, her posture was dignified, and every step looked graceful and beautiful.
This woman is only in her early twenties, but she looks calm and measured with a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, especially when she speaks.
Seeing this woman, even King Yong Li Ting restrained his jokes, stopped his hand movements and walked up quickly, took her hand and smiled and said, "Madam, what do you command?"
"Lord Wang, have you heard of Xu Ping'an?"
Li Ting shook his head.
"Then have you ever heard of Liu Mansion Liu Yuan?"
Li Ting nodded.
"This person beat Liu Yuan's own brother, and even it seems that Tian Baichuan is also involved in him, but now he has appeared here intact, doesn't the prince think he is not simple?"
Li Ting said: "What does the lady think?"
"Please come in, but see if you really have it, and if so, it's good to stay and be a staff member. β
"This ...... He's just a little reckless, and I went to invite him with a prince, and it seems that the king didn't see him come to ask for a gift. β
Li Ting frowned and said, in the final analysis, he is a prince, and there is a literati atmosphere in his bones, and he doesn't look down on the recklessness of fighting and killing.
The woman wrinkled her eyebrows and glanced at Li Ting, looking like she hated iron but not steel: "Hey, don't you understand our situation, as a prince, what is wrong with Corporal Lixian?"
"Madam, I'm not afraid of ......"
"Shut up! I don't want to be looked at in this Yangzhou City, what is an idle prince, the strength has no real power, you see that the old guy who stabbed the history of the mansion doesn't buy your account, today is the future!"
The princess was very strong, and directly scolded King Yong in front of the maids, and these people all buried their heads in their chests and did not dare to speak.
"That'...... Then it depends on Madame's wishes. "Yongwang Li Ting has a bit of a flattering meaning.
If it is really mediocre, let his royal ancestors know, and it is estimated that the coffin board will not be able to cover it.
.........
"Xu Ping'an is there, King Yong is invited!" the royal retainers roared.
The people in the entire courtyard quickly quieted down, and looked at the handsome young man who was eating and drinking with an extremely envious expression, not as good as the weak crown, it was really lucky.
Xu Ping'an frowned, stopped eating in his hands, and said secretly: "What did King Yong ask me to do, wasn't it arranged by the Assassin Mansion?"
Then he shook his head, went up the mountain and said, "Here." β
Immediately, Li Ji also followed him over, but he was stopped at the door, and only Xu Ping'an followed his retainer into the hall.
After he left, the crowd was full of discussions.
"What a handsome boy, taking the line of Yongwang is soaring in Yangzhou City. β
"Hmph, isn't it just to level a few rogues, I can too!"
"Come on, people dare to beat Liu Er's third brother's own brother, do you dare?!"
β......β
In the crowd, Qin Linglong's beautiful eyes looked at the seven-foot back, and murmured: "Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an..."
Then he smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to meet you here, but people are like them, all of them are handsome." β
.........
Inside the hall.
"Xu Ping'an, a grass citizen, has seen His Royal Highness King Yong. β
Standing in the middle of the hall, he bowed his hand slightly, did not kneel or bow, and said without being humble or arrogant.
He remained calm and calm, but he was slightly surprised to see a woman in the hall.
Considering that Xu Ping'an was reckless and potentially dangerous, several soldiers followed in, keeping an eye on his actions at all times, making the atmosphere in the hall a little tense.
An old man seemed to be the head of the palace, and he asked in a sharp voice, "Why don't you kneel and bow when you see the prince?"
"The boy kneels to his parents, and my Xu Ping'an's knees only kneel to the elders. Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man set his eyes on the woman, and the meaning was obvious, this dismount could not intimidate the Jianghu man.
Li Ting was playing with objects sent by someone on the side, and did not speak from beginning to end.
However, the woman next to him walked towards Xu Ping'an step by step, with a graceful posture, one step at a time, the round fragrant buttocks drew a graceful arc, and the gorgeous long-sleeved palace skirt rolled like a flowing cloud, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was a fairy girl coming slowly.
"The concubine is the wife of King Yong, Liu, this is polite. β
"Courteous?"
Xu Ping'an was a little stunned, a princess doesn't need to do this. Most importantly, why didn't the king speak, but a woman came to receive him?
Could it be that the Yongwang felt that he was not worthy to talk to him?
This also doesn't make sense, if that's the case, King Yong will definitely not show up, and it is impossible to invite himself in his own name.
