"Fifth Master, someone is looking for you."
Someone is looking for me? Li Junxian asked someone to be brought here in confusion, but he was busy looking for Xiao Rui in his heart.
"Fifth Master!"
It's you?
It turned out to be a secret guard. Li Junxian smiled and said whatever he wanted, "Let's go, follow me."
Xiao Rui was meditating and adjusting his breath, looking inside his body. He was riddled with wounds. It was extremely difficult to return to his peak. If I can't open the space ring, I am really an ordinary person.
Li Junxian came in with the secret guard. He was anxious and told the story of meeting Li Chengqian first, "It's too dangerous, sir. Let's find another place to live."
Xiao Rui waved his hand and pressed the button, then said to the secret guard: "What did the above say?"
The secret guard took out the secret letter and handed it over respectfully, "Sir, this is the secret letter from above. It says that you have full authority to handle it. But it seems, it seems that he is not willing to let the young master be a turtle slave here. The above did not say it clearly, it was just a guess by the subordinates. .”
Xiao Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I just wanted to go out and hide for a while. Why is it so difficult? If I had known that I had gone southwest, I would not have come to Luoyang. It's bound to be bad if you meet the emperor and his son.
It's better now, my cheap emperor father-in-law, isn't it obvious to you? Let me, a useless person, be responsible for the whole journey of the prince? Should I follow your son on a hike to the Tang Dynasty?
"That's all, let's think of a way to get people out of Jinxiu Tower." Xiao Rui sighed.
The secret guard bowed and said: "Sir, how about we go to the backstage of Jinxiu Tower, warn them to be more sensible, and send the young master out as a gift?"
Li Junxian scolded: "Nonsense! Do you want everyone in the world to know that the young master has been a turtle slave?"
The secret guard broke out in cold sweat.
Xiao Rui chuckled and said: "The boss behind the scenes may not want to know at all. If word spreads, everyone in Jinxiu Tower will die."
Forehead……
Hearing this, the secret guard's legs and feet became weak, and he thought that it was over. We are the ones who know the best. So, we will definitely die in the future?
Xiao Rui saw the other person's expression, waved his hand to comfort him and said: "Don't worry, you are the guards who are secretly protecting you. How can anyone beat the cook when they have enough to eat? Now it's my education, and if anything happens, it's mine. As long as I don't get caught If you keep silent, you will be fine."
"Ahem, thank you, Lord Marquis!" The secret guard knelt down.
Li Junxian held back: "Have you forgotten the rules? How many lives do you have to pay for the young master's life?"
The secret guard quickly stood up and apologized.
Xiao Rui looked at Li Junxian and said with a faint smile: "Fifth brother, it seems that this matter has to fall on you."
"Ah? Me? I'm afraid of being recognized by him. Besides, I'm your bodyguard. If I'm exposed, someone with intentions will definitely be able to find you." Li Junxian didn't want to wade into this muddy water at all.
Xiao Rui laughed loudly, "I mean, I asked you to spend a lot of money to redeem the person. Now everyone in Jinxiu Tower knows that your fifth master is a big financial backer."
puff……
Forget about mentioning the name of this big benefactor. It was the Xiao family's money that was spent. The real money was like running water. I felt sad just looking at it. And the name that comes with it is not good. On the surface, I am called a big benefactor, but behind my back, everyone calls me a lustful bearded man... One mistake will lead to eternal hatred, and a lifetime of fame will be ruined in just one glance!
Li Junxian probed: "Isn't it too harsh? If we are not relatives or friends, I will redeem a little turtle slave? If you are recognized again..."
He looked at the secret guard, who panicked and said, "No, no, this is not possible. The subordinates are not related to each other. They come to redeem someone rashly. The young master will know right away that someone is secretly helping him."
This is how to do?
All three of them became worried.
Xiao Rui thought for a moment, "How about using a trick to lure the snake out of its hole?"
The three of them got together and Xiao Rui devised a plan. Li Junxian came forward to book the upper room facing the street. When you open the window, you can see the street. If you are brave enough, you can jump out of the window and escape. At the same time, put some gold and silver in the house as bait.
With the means of escape and the money involved, anyone who wants to escape will generally not be able to bear the temptation.
As for whether you can escape by jumping out of the window? There is no need to worry about whether he will be caught by Jinxiu Tower. The secret guards will secretly divert the pursuers to ensure that Li Chengqian can leave the city smoothly.
After setting up the scene, Xiao Rui was invited to the camp outside the city. Li Junxian instructed an courtesan beside him: "Beauty, we are moving to a new house facing the street tonight. Let your servant clean it carefully."
"Fifth Master, mother has ordered people to clean it out. The sheets, bedding, and everything have been replaced with new ones, making sure they are spotless."
"What's the matter? I can't control your boy? That boy is so mean-spirited, can't I fix it for you?" Li Junxian had already pinched the oiran's vitals, and the other party was so weak that he quickly begged for mercy and promised to make arrangements.
In this way, Li Junxian said that he was waiting here for "sleep" news in "fear" to see if the prince would take the bait.
At the street corner downstairs, the secret guard had arranged for a vacant carriage to be rented, waiting for Li Chengqian to escape.
In the new room, Li Chengqian was wiping the table while cursing, "Damn ticket holder, this room has been cleaned by the stewards and the young master. Your words will make the young master have to clean it again alone..."
Pfft... It turns out that he was ordered to clean this room before. This turtle slave is very thorough in his experience and will never be adulterated.
The windows facing the street were wide open, and the shouts and cries of vendors on the street could be clearly heard.
"Cooking cakes... delicious and hot cooking cakes..."
"Pineapple...big and sweet pineapple..."
…
Ahem, pineapple? That's a tribute from the south. Are they sold in Luoyang? Li Chengqian walked to the window and looked out disdainfully.
Looking at the bustling and lively streets, so close yet as if they were separated by a huge chasm, Li Chengqian felt a little sad. It was the taste of freedom. When can he get out of this miserable place? If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier, I would have stayed in Xiaojiazhuang to study with peace of mind.
"Hiss...it's so high. You can't look around any more. Your legs will break if you fall." As he spoke, he closed the window. The secret guard selling pineapples downstairs was dumbfounded. What about jumping out of the window as promised? I was ready to fall to pick someone up, why did I close the window?
Pfft... If Li Junxian heard his inner monologue, I wonder if he would be pissed to death? Are you the Crown Prince, His Majesty’s eldest son? Haven't you inherited any of His Majesty's bloody courage? It’s only one floor high. Are you afraid of this?
Looking back, Li Chengqian was cleaning the house one after another, and finally saw the soft gold and silver package on the bedside.
Open it and see, hey, "So much gold and silver? No wonder that guy threatened to hire an oiran for a month..."
"No, he hasn't moved here yet. Why did he put the gold and silver here? And asked me to clean it by name? Could it be that he was deliberately testing me?"
"Bah! Damn lecherous bearded man, did I provoke you? Did you deliberately dig a hole to frame me? You were just waiting for me to steal the money and then be caught by you, right?"
"Bah! You've misjudged the wrong person. I'm the prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can I be so interested in your little money?"
He put away the package in disgust, turned around and started cleaning seriously, peeking at the door from time to time to see if anyone was secretly watching, waiting to catch him. It's a pity that the other party didn't reveal the secret.
Ignore him, as long as I don't take his gold and silver, he has nothing to fear.
I...I framed you? This is the travel expenses prepared for you, let you take the money to jump off the building... Li Junxian almost cried afterward. Why can't you send this young man away yet? Do you, the majestic prince, like to stay here and be a turtle slave?
Or are you too timid? Convinced by Jinxiulou’s education? Don't you even dare to run away?
