All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Under the snowy night, Guangyang Fucheng is still prosperous with long lanterns filling the streets, but compared with the literati, poets, young men and beauties dancing and writing in the past, the streets at this time are mostly filled with people wielding swords and swords.
Even though it was already late at night, hearty laughter could still be heard from time to time among the bars of the wine shops on both sides of the shopping street.
Looking at the feasting and feasting on both sides through the one-way fence of the carriage, Xu Yuan felt a touch of fireworks for the first time in a long time.
The ordinary people in the market were making noises, hawking and shouting, and the night-moored flower boats floated gently on the Jinhuai River. The gorgeously dressed museum staff downstairs constantly attracted the attention of men on the street.
The then-prefect of Guangyang was a good official, and the temporary carriage prepared for the two princes was located on the bank of Tianming River.
Standard riverside villa.
Of course, the governor did not arrange it directly in his own name. After all, a courtyard in that area often starts with a few thousand taels of silver, and can even reach more than 10,000 taels of silver after being equipped with array patterns. These are not things that a governor can afford with his salary. Started.
Instead, he donated it in the name of a wealthy businessman in the city.
Although it was not stated explicitly, it was definitely given.
Do you dare to give the place where the two Tianhuang nobles lived to others?
No more brains?
Before leaving, I heard Lou Ji's young old aunt say that the wealthy businessman seemed to be one of the governor's white gloves.
Things worth ten thousand taels of silver were given away at will. Over the years, that Fu Yi must have embezzled a lot of silver taels.
But he is very capable, does practical things well, and is very sensible. There are people standing in the court, so no one checks him.
Xu Yuan curiously asked how much he was greedy for.
Lou Ji casually replied to him with the sentence "100,000 yuan".
The top leader of the provincial capital on the main transportation road has only earned more than a hundred thousand taels after serving as an official here for nearly ten years. He is indeed extremely clean.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan guessed that he should also be able to extort money.
At the very least, with his status, it would be no problem to get a Linjiang villa in this city.
But after thinking about it, he let it go. In recent years, he had not dared to leave Beijing, and it was useless to ask for this property.
While thinking about it, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered that the carriage had passed through the most prosperous Yusu District in Guangyang City and entered Linjiang Road beside the endlessly flowing Tianming River.
There is a lot less traffic, but there are a lot more night patrols holding knives. They come in groups of three, and you can see a group every few streets.
This is the real aristocratic area of Guangyang Fucheng.
The residences of sect disciples, wealthy businessmen, and high-ranking officials are basically all in this circle.
Due to the iconic black dragon on the carriage body, no one with a blind eye came to check Xu Yuan, and all the expensive carriages they encountered on the road pulled aside to avoid him.
Leaning on the soft couch and enjoying the view of the river under the snow, Xu Yuan suddenly asked casually:
"Mr. Wang, how long until we arrive?"
Mr. Wang is the man in black who was kneeling in the snow just now.
Lou Ji seemed to know very well that his temper was unbearable and he would definitely cause trouble for Li Zhaoyuan, so she left him behind to lead the way for him.
After finishing his words, the man in black holding the horse outside spoke respectfully:
"Sir, we'll be there in two blocks."
"Um."
Xu Yuan responded softly, and then asked slightly curiously: "Mr. Wang, just now Lou Ji asked you to kneel in the snow for so long, wouldn't you be dissatisfied with your great master's cultivation?"
The Grand Master is already considered a group of people at the top of the pyramid in this world. Even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they are treated very well. Just like Zhou Chen and Si Ziyu, they are basically regarded as sir.
But the inside of Aunt Lou's Black Scale Guard looks different.
"I don't dare." The man in black replied immediately.
"I just don't dare, so that means I have it?"
"."
The man outside was immediately embarrassed, with a little sweat on his forehead. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the warm voice inside again:
"Forget it, each of you Black Scale Guards is more mysterious than the last one. Well, since you said you were almost here, does that guy Li Yunqing live here too?"
"."
Listening to the completely disrespectful title in the carriage, the man in black tightened his grip on the reins slightly and said:
"The third prince's temporary residence is right next to the second prince. Do you want to go?"
Xu Yuan was leaning on the soft couch, tapping the window lattice with his fingertips, and supporting his chin:
"You call him out. I haven't seen him for a long time and I still miss him a little."
The voice of the man in black was slightly hesitant:
"Is it a notification?"
"Direct sound transmission." Xu Yuan's voice was a little funny: "As a grand master, your soul should be able to cover the entire other courtyard, right?"
"It's possible, but it's already dark now, so I'm using my mind and soul to explore inside without permission."
"That's right, that boy has a daughter, and now that he's been reimbursed by the governor, he's probably calling the butler again."
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief:
"Son, we'd better inform the concierge."
"You seem to be practicing Yin Dao Kung Fu? Just shout and say that Xu Changtian misses him."
"Third Young Master, now the dignitaries of Guangyang Mansion are gathering together. It's late at night, so I'm afraid they'll be disturbed."
"If anyone is dissatisfied, just ask him to come to me. What are you afraid of?"
"." The man in black.
"."
"."
In the turmoil of the snowy night, as the river washed, in the silence, a deep voice suddenly sounded:
"Your Highness, my young master, please come out and talk!"
The sound was deafening under the blessing of the huge source energy, and the ice picks hanging at the feet of the magnificent Qiong Tower shattered into ice crystals and dissipated, spreading along the entrance of the mansion.
In the quiet neighborhood, many lights that had been extinguished lit up again.
Almost at the same time, several powerful spirit souls and Yuan Qi followed the sound, but they quietly turned back after seeing the black dragon carriage parked in front of the courtyard gate.
A few breaths of silence,
"Rumble--"
The heavy courtyard door was opened from the inside, and what came into view was not a concierge, but a beautiful young man with bare arms.
He was barefoot, with long hair untied, and seemed very eager.
It was Li Yunqing.
The black dragon carriage stopped quietly on the quiet street, and the inscription lights hanging on the street reflected the black dragon's eyes vividly.
When he saw the carriage, Li Yunqing's handsome face twitched and he cursed in his heart for bad luck.
This kid is still haunted, right?
"."
in silence,
The man in black opened the car door, and a handsome young man in a brocade robe slowly walked down from it with his hands behind his back. He looked at the shirtless royal third child who played him and said with a smile:
"Junqing, long time no see."
"Brothers?"
"it's me."
"You were assassinated and you're still alive?"
"."
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.
Li Yunqing adjusted his expression. Under the illumination of the light, his eyes instantly showed a sparkle, and then he walked eagerly and walked quickly on the snow with bare feet.
Come closer,
Li Yunqing's eyes were filled with tears, and with excitement on his face, he stepped forward to hug him, with a trembling tone:
"Yunqing... Yunqing thought he would never see you, brother, in this life."
Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly grabbed his arm, stopped his movements with force, and said with a smile:
"This assassination attempt on me also resulted in a narrow escape from death. Brother, I shouldn't have disturbed you tonight, right?"
Brother, your acting is acting, men can accept each other or not.
Li Yunqing continued to want to hug her, with tears in her eyes:
"My brother is not dead. This is the biggest good news that Yun Qing has heard in the past few months. Even if I am disturbed, Yun Qing is not overjoyed. If my brother dies, it will probably be a loss for me. However, it is already dark now, Yun Qing Qing is still naked"
"Since Yun Qingru is so happy, let's go into the house and talk about it. Brother, I'll wait for you to get dressed."
Xu Yuan smiled and nodded, and after that, he walked directly towards the mansion.
Li Yunqing's eyes twitched.
Why is this shameless person thicker than him?
Before his thoughts fell, the figure had already walked into the mansion minding his own business.
Standing shirtless under the inscription lamp, Li Yunqing glanced at the black dragon carriage, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.
Xu Changtian is looking for him?
Looking for fart!
Glancing at another courtyard in the snow a hundred feet away, Li Yunqing felt his teeth itching with hatred.
Why did you come to see the second emperor brother next door and drag him along?
Do you think he has too little trouble?
However, it was a good thing for him that Xu Yuan was not dead.
Li Yunqing sighed in his heart and walked quickly into the courtyard with a smile on his face.
In the inner courtyard of the mansion, light snow was falling, and two figures were sitting on the high attic near the river.
While drinking, Xu Yuan looked at the river scenery on a snowy night amid the lights:
"Li Fuyi from Guangyang Mansion is a wonderful person."
Saying,
Xu Yuan glanced at the beautiful woman wearing tulle clothes and half-revealed curves who was pouring wine for the two of them: "It seems that I have disturbed you tonight."
Li Yunqing was dressed in single clothes and a brocade fur coat, with his legs crossed, leaning on the soft couch behind him, and chuckled:
"Interested? I haven't enjoyed it tonight."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips slightly:
"Haha, I'm kidding, your imperial sister is also in the city."
Li Yunqing raised his glass and sipped the wine:
"She won't come to my place."
Xu Yuan looked at him deeply:
"Oh, you are not strict with your words. If it is leaked, it will damage the relationship between me and your imperial sister."
"This woman was born deaf."
"I didn't say anything about her."
"."Li Yunqing.
Xu Yuan smiled and raised his cup, the copper cups clinked together like friends chatting:
"In recent days, I think Junqing has been living quite a life, playing and singing day and night."
Li Yunqing raised his eyes and glanced at him, then threw some wine-dried fruits into his mouth:
"If we don't play songs day and night, we may not have the chance in the future."
The river breeze blowing in from the window lattice floated his long hair, and Xu Yuan's drinking movements paused:
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Li Yunqing glanced at the courtyard next door very bachelorly:
"My king has been in a bad situation recently. He was almost handed over to the Prime Minister by his father to be buried with you."
Xu Yuan had a strange expression:
"Who did you listen to? I won't touch you."
"As for, very so."
Li Yunqing raised his hand and knocked on his head, his tone was helpless:
"If you think about it, you will know that the second brother is protected by his father, which means that the power of the eldest brother must be reduced. Otherwise, even if the second brother has external help, he will not have much chance in the court. In addition, this matter must be done to Xu. Give me an explanation.
"Third Young Master, now tell me, who is the most appropriate person to hand over in this situation?"
When Xu Yuan heard this, his eyes revealed his thoughts, and then he drank the wine in one gulp and said with a smile:
"Why, don't you call me brother anymore?"
Li Yunqing also smiled and replied:
"I think the Third Young Master's name is more pleasant to me."
After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Yuan suppressed his smile, looked at Li Yunqing and asked:
"You really have no plan?"
"What's the plan?" Li Yunqing pretended to be confused.
Xu Yuan gave him a meaningful look:
"Your status is actually not low. The Royal Chamber of Commerce is under your control, and some of the Shadow Guards are in your hands. After so many years, I don't believe that you haven't placed your own people in it."
Li Yunqing sounded very dissatisfied:
"What do you call my people? They are my eldest brother's people."
Xu Yuan was a little bored, leaning on the soft couch behind him, and pressed the table:
"You almost became a victim this time, but you didn't change your mind at all?"
"."
Li Yunqing glanced at Xu Yuan, casually grabbed the waiter who was pouring wine next to him, reached into the collar of the woman's neck and rubbed the woman's plump body vigorously. After pulling out, he raised his hand and glanced at the table of famous wines and precious appetizers in front of him. And the refreshing and beautiful river view outside the window:
"A person must be content to be happy. No matter how bad I am, I am still playing songs day and night. I am much better than the people in this world. I feel that my life is very free now, and there is no need to fight for that position."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said:
"I'm not kidding you this time."
"My king is not joking with you, Third Young Master."
"." Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly disappointed.
Li Yunqing let go of the meek and beautiful coquettish man next to him, leaned slightly closer, and said in a strange voice:
"Third Young Master, I am very curious as to why you think so highly of me?"
Xu Yuan glanced at him:
"In the picture books, it's usually people like you who don't fight on the surface who fight for the throne, prince or something, haha."
"Pfft hehe hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter, and Li Yunqing even patted the table with laughter.
After laughing enough, he let out a long sigh and glanced at the river view outside the window: "What you said seems to be true, but reality is not a picture book, and I really don't want to fight, and I can't fight."
"Actually, being a puppet can support your current life." Xu Yuan said coldly.
Li Yunqing's eyes twitched:
"No, why do you dare to say anything to me? I don't speak strictly."
Xu Yuan spread his hands and raised a glass to invite him under the moon:
"You are a smart person. Since you don't want to argue, you won't tell anyone. On the contrary, you have to worry about my lack of strictness."
"."
Li Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed. He took the wine pot from the waiter's hand, stood up and filled it for Xu Yuan himself, and coughed lightly:
"Ahem, that, brother."
"Don't worry, I'm not that boring."
Xu Yuan looked slightly amused: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I respect you, but the time is now very tight. If you change your mind in the future, you can't wait until the expiration date."
Clink glasses and drink up.
Li Yunqing asked in a low voice:
"Changtian, are you here to see my second brother?"
"Have you seen this?"
"If you really want to reminisce about the past, why bother making such a big fuss."
"Tsk, you're quite smart."
"."Li Yunqing.
Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing with a cold look:
"As for me, I can be considered a person with status. I have been assassinated. I can't just bear it."
Saying,
Xu Yuanyuan glanced at Li Zhaoyuan's other courtyard and said leisurely:
"Counting the time, it's time for your second brother to come over."
"Oh? It seems like there's something going on over there too."
Li Yunqing stood up immediately after murmuring, put his arms around Gu Ren's plump and soft waist, walked out, and said without looking back:
"Xu Changtian, I'm warning you, don't make any more noise tonight. If you make any more noise, I'll tell the princess that you came to my mansion tonight for a private meeting with the coward."
"."
Xu Yuan smiled dumbly, watched the other party's back disappear, shook his head gently, and murmured in a low voice:
"pity."
