In Pingkangfang, go back to Sanqu Street in the east.
In the dead of night, the lights are dim.
The market, which had been noisy all day, gradually quieted down, and the vendors began to pack up and prepare to go home.
Xue An and the fair-faced and beardless father-in-law were still waiting in front of the alley, each waiting for their master to return.
Suddenly, gray-black mist like light smoke billowed on the nearby streets, and a whirlpool-like gate of time and space immediately emerged.
If multiple streams of water meet, the chaos of the void opens up a hole several feet square, and a mirage-like shadow emerges.
Inside there are the blooming flowers of the Baihua Building in the past.
After a while, a raging fire broke out and burned everything inside.
The moment when prosperity and hustle and bustle returned to deathly silence, the entire void was like a dream shattered, quickly disappearing without a trace, replaced by the figures of Li Chuan and Yang Ju.
"ah!"
Neither Xue An nor his father-in-law could see clearly when they saw a ray of light flowing and covering Yang Ju's figure.
After a while, she reappeared.
It turned out that she noticed that her hair was burning all over her body and she had turned into a dirty, bald stray cat, so she quickly used her remaining magic to cover it up.
Li Fan couldn't help but be speechless when he saw her using her strange power for this matter.
But this is her own business, and only she knows whether it is worth it.
"Little Marquis, what's wrong with your hand?"
Xue An immediately noticed Li Fan's arms tucked into his pockets and couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"I'm a little injured, but it doesn't matter. I know it well."
"Li Fan, don't go back tonight. If you enter and exit the square gate, you may be noticed by the gatekeeper and cause unnecessary trouble!"
Yang Yan suddenly called out and suggested to him.
"Not going back?" Li Fan knew that this was because he killed Wu Xuan, but at the moment he didn't know where to go.
"I won't hide it from you now. In fact, I have a property in Pingkangfang. I don't have much time to rest on weekdays, but I occasionally go there. When I'm not living in the palace, I always go there to spend the night. .
It's not far away, just on the opposite street, about a hundred paces away. "
"Is this happening?"
Li Fan said in surprise.
Opposite is a large open space with a huge garden and a series of mansions.
"Which one are you talking about on the opposite street?"
"Which one?" Yang Yan was a little dazed, "It's on the street across the street.
It’s not easy for me to get in and out of the palace at night. I have to have a place to go, right? "
After hearing this, Li Fan smiled bitterly.
This doesn’t seem to be as simple as just “a place to go”!
Sure enough, Li Fan and Xue An followed Yang Ju's carriage on horseback. They circled around and found that the place Yang Ju mentioned was opposite Donghui Sanqu, occupying a quarter of Pingkangfang. .
This is a piece of land that is twice the size of the Marquis Mansion. There is a magnificent super mansion in it. It is not that Li Ao has never been to Pingkangfang in the past, but because he always comes in and out of the romantic Yauze place in the northeast corner, he still I really haven't paid much attention to where this place is.
This Pingkangfang has been a place where dignitaries and dignitaries have gathered since ancient times, especially the west half of the square. A hundred years ago, many dynasty princes and princes had their residences here. Later, there were also clansmen and nobles, so the brothel Only then could Chu Pavilion be established nearby.
But these are just vague impressions. Li Ao really hasn't paid much attention to who lives here and what kind of identity and status they have.
He only knew that it was so big here, so big...
The carriage took Li Fan and Xue An all the way to the west. They walked most of the West Street and took more than 150 steps before they arrived at the building.
All the way here before, it seemed to be an empty school field or garden area.
After walking another seventy or eighty steps, we found the side entrance of the mansion.
With Li Fan's experience, he was not able to recognize the shape and specifications of this mansion at a glance, nor did he see the door guarding the outside. Only when the carriage approached, someone came out, opened the side door, and greeted them. Got in.
"Lu Banban, please settle them down and I'll come as soon as I can!"
Yang Ju jumped out and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Li Fan knew that she was going to take care of her injuries, so she couldn't help but look at the father-in-law.
Eunuch Lu asked respectfully: "Mr. Li, do you need to take a shower and change clothes first?"
"That's fine."
Although he was unfamiliar with the place, Li Ao would not be polite to the Cat Immortal, so he agreed immediately.
"Please follow me to the inner hall and wait for a moment. Arrangements will be made for you soon."
Li Fan and the other two followed them inside. Although it was difficult to see the whole picture of the mansion at night, they vaguely felt that it was extravagant and luxurious. It was like a palace. There were various flowers and plants in the courtyard, exquisite rockeries, cloisters and pavilions. The terrace is magnificent and luxurious, far beyond what the Marquis Mansion can match.
To be honest, Li Fan traveled through time and felt that he had become a real powerful person and he was well-informed.
But it was not until today that I opened my eyes and realized what a real luxury house is.
He had been curious a long time ago about what kind of person this great cat immortal could be.
But because of the tacit understanding between the two parties, they have never formally inquired.
Now because of Wu Xuan's incident, some things have to be revealed openly, and it seems that they will be revealed soon.
Li Fang suppressed his curiosity and was led by Eunuch Lu to a bathhouse next to the flower hall. He saw several young and beautiful maids waiting there holding several brocade clothes.
Eunuch Lu said: "These are maids specially trained by His Highness for easy control. If the young master has any abnormality in his arms, there is no need to avoid them, just let them serve and change clothes."
Li Fan nodded, walked in naturally, spread his hands, and asked the maids to change his clothes.
During this period, the maids saw his arms, and they did not show any signs of surprise. They just silently helped him into the tub and waited for him to take a bath.
Not long after, Li Fan came out refreshed and found Yang Yan already waiting in the nearby side hall.
She has returned to her previous lustrous appearance, as white as snow, and has become gentle, demure, dignified and generous again.
Seeing Li Fan coming in under the guidance of the maid, she jumped onto the coffee table and ordered: "You all go down, Lu Banban, and you will personally guard the outside. I have something to discuss with him in secret."
Eunuch Lu waved his hand and led the maid down.
Xue An followed him out wisely, but did not go far, and followed Eunuch Lu to guard outside.
"Okay, now we can talk about how to deal with the aftermath.
At present, the Wu family has not known about this matter so quickly, and they will not connect Wu Xuan's death with our visit to the Baihualou Strange Territory for a while. However, as long as Wu Xuan fails to return after the due date, sooner or later, it will lead to investigation, and even the town. The magicians may be involved. "
Yang Jie went straight to the point.
"In your opinion, what should be done?"
"What should we do?" Li Fan said, "That guy dared to take the initiative to attack us. Of course he had to strike first and wipe out his entire Duke Zheng's mansion!
Of course, this is also to protect ourselves and prevent them from learning about this and taking revenge on us. "
