The infinite glow of the setting sun spreads from the sky to the bottom of the lake. The Yanliu Pavilion shrouded in golden light is more beautiful than the sky.
Surrounded by silk music, Tingting's dancing postures are lingering, and the colorful scenes on the husband's stage are mesmerizing.
It is better to say that it is a platform for watching husbands than as a boat for seducing souls. It is docked on the wooden bank of the lake and has attracted countless young masters and young masters to forget to return.
"Brother Fan, this way."
At the bustling bridge, a handsome young man walked up from the crowd, looked at Fan Xian and waved.
Fan Xian stepped forward to greet him and introduced each other as brothers and sisters. Chen Mu learned that this person was the crown prince Li Hongcheng, the only son of Prince Xiaoyao Li Zhi.
Li Hongcheng was the middleman and came to invite Fan Xian on behalf of the second prince. Fan Xian knew this already, so he hesitated without leaving any trace and led everyone to the VIP room.
The second prince is a very dissolute and powerful man, but he knows what is right and what is right. Seeing Chen Mu coming in with a large group of people, he was slightly shocked and asked everyone to sit wherever they wanted.
The second prince's attention was entirely on Fan Xian, and his words were full of temptations. Soon, Xianju's top performer came on stage half-armed with a pipa, and everyone in the audience shouted, interrupting everyone's private conversation.
"As expected of being the number one among Zuixianju, she is quite pretty."
Fan Xian was the happiest person to see Si Lili appear. He was excited but also a little worried: In this increasingly unknown world, would those beauties still belong to him?
He had set a goal for himself, not only to marry Princess Chen and Sisi, but also to capture all the youth in the world. Among them, the one who cannot be let go is Teng Zijin’s widow.
Seeing Fan Xian's entranced look, the second prince had disappointment in his eyes: If the other party was the target of this trip, he couldn't be fooled by the color.
Then, he comforted himself: after living in the mortal world for many years, the dream interpreter may also be tempted.
"Master Xiao Fan, are you interested?"
"It's an ownerless flower that's famous in the capital, so there's no harm in admiring it."
"Haha, it's easy. Just answer three questions from Miss Lili and you can kiss her."
Fan Xian smiled and did not answer. In his impression, the plot did not seem to develop like this.
In the corner, Fan Xiaomei also vividly told Li Luo the story of Si Lili, which was somewhat different from what Chen Mu had heard before.
Si Lili did not get married because her fiancé Chen Mu went to war on the eve of the wedding. After three years of fighting, there was no news. When she was heartbroken, she heard bad news from her fiancé's comrades. She did not believe that her fiancé was martyred, and dreamed of him being rescued by a caravan. I searched here from the North just to find each other.
"I hope Zuixianju made it up on purpose, otherwise she would be too pitiful."
Fan Xiaomei sighed sympathetically, but Li Luo did not answer.
When the song ended, most of the young masters dressed as literati were still pretending to close their eyes and meditate. The master of ceremonies was unambiguous, and his almost pleading voice could be heard throughout the boat.
"The slave family's questions are still the same as the previous three. Is anyone willing to answer them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked out of the crowd.
"My Excellency, Chen Mu, thank you Miss Lili for your affection. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. No matter what your request, I will definitely make it up to you. I am here just to take you home."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the house yelled at him for being hypocritical. In the box, the second prince glanced at Fan Xian's expression inadvertently, but he didn't see anything, which made him even more suspicious.
Si Lili didn't believe it immediately. After saying his thanks, he asked the other party to answer his questions.
"My fiancé has three best comrades in arms, what are their names?"
"Are you referring to Chen Hao, Lin Kun and Liang Bo?"
Everyone was yelling nonsense again, but suddenly the sound stopped suddenly, and they all had a bad feeling, because Miss Si Lili actually smiled.
Chen Mu cast his eyes when he heard this. These were the names of his three roommates. But in addition to themselves, Wang Nian and his group also probably know who the other party will be?
Fan Xian thought to himself that it was not possible for him to answer such a question: Does this Secretary Lili really have a fiancé?
The second prince's side was the calmest, because this person was arranged by them. Just taking a peek at Fan Xian's reaction, he still wasn't sure.
"Second question, my fiancé has a personal maid. I heard that the maid is as beautiful as a fairy in a dream. Do you know?"
After the words fell, everyone looked at "Chen Mu" nervously, praying that he would not answer.
As if influenced by the will of all living beings, the visitor actually stopped where he was and became anxious. At this time, another voice came from the crowd.
"The maid you are talking about cannot be Jiang Nan, right?"
At this moment, many people's expressions suddenly changed. Chen Mu, the second prince Yifang, Fan Xian, and many people in the hall all focused their attention on a handsome young man in the corner. So much so that the equally handsome companion beside him was simply ignored.
"The third question is, who do you regard me as yours?"
"Miss Li Li"
Fan Xian stood up suddenly, knowing that if he didn't take the initiative, he would have no chance: "You are a living person, with an independent personality and a noble soul that is not inferior to anyone else. Your excellence determines that you cannot be anyone's vassal. In order to find an answer that satisfies you, I know that many people have used resources that are difficult for ordinary people to understand to inquire about your life experience. I don’t want a beautiful girl like you to be deceived. I don’t know if the so-called Chen Mu is worth your efforts. , but I can tell you, it’s up to you to decide who your Chen Mu is.”
"Yes, your question has never changed. Someone who is interested has already found the answer."
Although they thought Fan Xian's words were ridiculous, all the men in the room agreed: If they don't stop her, Miss Si Lili will be the first to get in.
Si Lili looked at the box upstairs. Everyone thought she was looking at Fan Xian, but the second prince's look gave her the next step.
"Young master, what you said makes sense. I wonder if you can go to the slave's residence to talk about it?"
Fan Xian finally let go of his tense heart. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the ending was still right.
"Master Xiao Fan, congratulations, you moved the beauty's heart with just a few words."
"Since you've come to Zuixianju, of course you have to have a good time. Everyone, enjoy yourself."
"Brother, do you really want to go?"
"I have questions that need to be answered. You and Brother Teng and the others will wait for a moment. I'll be right back."
Fan Xian couldn't hide his excitement and said goodbye. Chen Mu and Chen Mu couldn't stay any longer. They hugged the gift and exited the box, but Fan Xiaomei was left enthusiastically by Li Hongcheng.
"What do you think?"
Li Luo asked immediately after leaving the box. The person who asked the question and the person who answered the first two questions must be an acquaintance of Chen Mu.
"No matter how a person's appearance changes, his true nature cannot be concealed. I looked at Si Lili and the impostor for a long time and couldn't figure out who they were, but the person in the corner seemed familiar to me."
"Okay, let's go find him."
"Fire!"
Before the two of them had finished going down the stairs, there was a sudden noise in the hall. After a loud shout, people rushed out of all the boxes, causing chaos in the whole place.
"Split up. You go and take Miss Fan with you. I'll go find someone. Meet me at the parking place."
The change happened so suddenly, and both of them vaguely felt that something was wrong. After hearing Chen Mu's suggestion, Li Luo said "take care" and returned upstairs.
"Get out of the way, get out of my way, young master."
"Who dares to squeeze in? Believe it or not, I will destroy your whole family?"
…
For a time, the entire hall was in extreme chaos, with shouts and curses mixed in. The unlucky ones fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Seeing the situation in the hall, Chen Mu's heart sank and he hurriedly hid in the corner. When he estimated that the distance was about the same, he suddenly noticed a murderous intention approaching.
"Ah! Someone is dead!"
Someone shouted in the hall, making the scene even more chaotic. Chen Mu was impatient and used force to crowd out the crowd.
"How dare Xiao Xiao dare to commit an assassination?"
Still separated by several human walls, a cold shout came from the corner. Chen Mu had already seen a man dressed as a scholar holding a fan sword and attacking two thin scholars.
Faced with the obstruction, the killer did not hesitate at all and immediately attacked with more violent moves. With just one move, the opponent was knocked away, and his body was cut through the wooden board and fell into the river.
After a successful blow, the scholar took advantage of the situation to pursue him, clanging his sword and striking directly at the scholar's fatal point.
"I am Princess Chen, do you dare?"
The scholar's words shocked the killer, but this could not stop his murderous intention. What saved the scholar was a sudden big hand.
"Who do you belong to?"
At the critical moment, it was Chen Mu who grabbed the murderer's neck with one hand. He had reason to believe that the other party was Wang Nian's man.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, who are you?"
"Where did this idiot come from? Let's watch him get beaten."
Seeing that the murderer was restrained, Princess Chen picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed it down hard. There was a crashing sound, and porcelain shards were inserted all over the murderer's face.
Chen Mu was about to scold him when he suddenly noticed that the murderer's face turned dark. When he looked at it, he found that his life was gone and he could not even analyze his memory.
"I know he has a poison bag hidden in his mouth."
Chen Mu let go of the murderer and looked at Princess Chen. She had a pure appearance and a thin figure, but her eyes were full of familiarity.
"Jiangnan?"
Chen Mu asked tentatively. Upon hearing this, Princess Chen's face changed drastically and she exclaimed, "Are you the boss?"
"Stop talking and get out of here first."
"Boss, it's really you! Do you know that it's hard for people to find you?"
It's been a long time indeed, almost ten years. In great excitement, Jiang Nan rushed directly into Chen Mu's arms and hugged him tightly, just like a child who returned home after being separated from his parents and suffered a lot.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time. Come with me."
Chen Mu forcibly pulled the girl away and pushed her way into the crowd.
"Ah! Lin'er, boss, help me save Lin'er, she is my best friend."
Chen Mu remembered who Lin'er was, so he took advantage of the chaos and punched through the wooden board, just in time to see a woman who had fallen into the water climb onto the boat. Jiang Nan was shocked and hurriedly pulled him up.
The fire was coming from the stern, but the chaos was largely human-driven. Fan Xian was very depressed. Others would only be disturbed when they were on the doorstep, but he didn't even enter the door. When he saw the fire coming, he ran back without caring about Si Lili.
"Madam, where is my little sister?"
Meeting Li Luo near the exit of the living room, Fan Xian asked anxiously. He suspected that this was all a ploy by Northern Qi to spy on Si Lili.
"She is safe. She is back on the carriage. Prince Cheng is with her."
Hearing this, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries. He looked at Li Luo again and had other thoughts.
"The fire has come over. Madam-in-law hasn't left yet. Are you waiting for Brother Teng?"
"Yes, he hasn't gone out yet."
"This little fire won't hurt Brother Teng. Madam-in-law, it's better to go out with me, so as not to worry Brother Teng."
"It doesn't matter, the fire is still far away."
"Sure enough, there is probably no other woman in the entire Qing Kingdom who can compare to Madam-in-law's calmness."
Li Luoqing frowned slightly, and there seemed to be something wrong with the other party's tone. He looked back and heard the other party say: "I remember that Brother Teng's original wife should have been a weak peasant girl. Mrs. Sister-in-law is so accomplished, can't she also travel through time?" Is that right?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Don't be afraid to tell Mrs. Sister-in-law. In fact, you and I come from the same world. I understand the feeling of loneliness. Maybe we can make friends. Someone can say something that others don't understand."
"No wonder Mr. Xiao Fan is favored by Miss Si Lili. His words always make people confused and curious. Unfortunately, I just want to be an ordinary woman who takes care of my husband and raises children. I believe there will be better girls who are willing to listen to you. I My husband may have gone out, and I have to go find him."
After saying that, Li Luo quickly left the hall without giving Fan Xian a chance to continue his entanglement.
Fan Xian looked at the other person's back and was filled with doubts: Is she a time traveler?
