Pingkang Lane was relatively close to the Imperial Palace. Behind Li Er was always an old man in a eunuch's uniform. He seemed to be in his sixties and always had his arms around his body. He looked gloomy. This was the consecrator responsible for Li Er's safety. Although he was a eunuch, his martial arts skills were extremely high.
Zhangsun Wuji gave the brothel madame a silver cake worth five taels and inquired about Zhangsun Chong's private room. Lady Yun knew about King Hejian and secretly guessed Li Er's identity. She concluded that this person's identity must be extraordinary.
He brought the three of them to the private room next door. Li Er frowned and said,"Why is there no movement next door? Shouldn't young people quarrel endlessly when they're together?”
"Hehe, with Brother Fu's son here, I'm afraid those kids are having fun right now, right?" Li Xiaogong gloated. Brother Fu Ji, your son brought His Highness the Crown Prince here to flirt, what crime do you deserve?”
Li Er coughed and shook his head." It's fine. Chengqian is not young anymore. It's time for him to get in touch with the affairs of men and women."”
Zhangsun Wuji hated him so much that his teeth hurt. When Zhangsun rushed out, he did not know how he would be dealt with.
As they were chatting, they suddenly frowned and quieted down. They listened carefully to the sound of the zither next door. The melodious tune was novel, and it made people feel like the spring breeze was blowing on their faces. The artistic conception was like a high mountain and flowing water, making people calm down.
Li Huairen looked at Yan Jue, who was sitting there playing the zither, in shock. He had never expected Yan Jue to play the zither so beautifully. Courtesan Belle Li Qingxuan tugged at the sleeve of her right hand with her left hand and put her right index finger to her lips, her eyes filled with surprise.
What was even more surprising was that Yan Ruyu closed her eyes coquettishly and shook her head as she read,"When will the bright moon appear?”
"I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky.”
"I want to ride the wind and return, but I'm afraid of the beautiful palace.”
"It's too cold at the top, dancing and making clear the shadows, how can it be like in the human world?”
"Turning the vermilion pavilion, the low door, shining sleepless.”
"There should be no hatred.”
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs.”
"This matter is difficult to complete since ancient times. I hope that people will live long and spend thousands of miles together.”
How backward were the soundproofing measures in ancient times? Li Er, Prince Hejian Zhangsun Wuji and the others heard it clearly. The three of them looked at each other and felt that it was somewhat unbelievable.
Li Er shook his head and praised." Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this kid to know how to write poetry. However, this zither is also not bad. I wonder which master is playing the music. I really want to see it."”
"Your Majesty, why don't we take a walk next door?" Li Xiaogong said.”
Li Er shook his head and said," Not for now. I haven't heard Zhangsun Chong and Chengqian's voices. Yiai's voice is no longer there either. He must be doing some shady business. If I go, I'll scare them."”
The two of them called Li Er considerate and considerate for the juniors.
At this moment, a loud shout came from next door.""Good, good poem, good song. Brother Yan, this little brother admires you greatly.”
Li Xiaogong's face darkened. F * ck, isn't this Li Huairen's voice?
"Brother Wang, why does this voice sound so similar to Huai Ren's?" Li Er asked with a strange expression.”
Zhangsun Wuji finally found a reason to insult Li Xiaogong. He chuckled and said,"The pot calling the kettle black. King Hejian, your Li Huairen is not a good person either.”
Li Xiaogong was burning with anger. If Li Er hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed over and kicked Li Huairen from Pingkang Lane to Hejian Prince's mansion.
Li Er was surprised." Huairen said it was a good poem and song. Could it be that this song was also played by Marquis Yan?"”
"I think so."
"It should be Marquis Yan. I didn't expect Marquis Yan to know how to play.”
In the room next door.
Courtesan Belle Li Qingxuan bowed and praised,"Young master's lyrics are world-shocking and can be said to be the style of a great master. This little girl playing music in front of young master is really asking for humiliation.”
Yan Jue raised his head and glanced at Li Huairen. With a strange smile, he said,"Bad guy, don't forget to strip naked later.”
Li Huairen was stunned.
Yan Jue had used some unknown method to trick Hua Kui into coming to the inner room. Li Huairen was so surprised that he ran to the door to eavesdrop.
With a pop, a hairpin was nailed to the door frame, revealing a three-inch-long hairpin tip. Li Huairen broke out in cold sweat, and his soul almost left his body.
Then, Yan Jue's voice came from the room."If you eavesdrop on the wall, the next hairpin will poke into your back.”
Li Huairen was so frightened that he shivered. He quickly returned to his seat and sat properly. Damn, he was a young prince after all. How could he be scared by a Marquis?
Inside the house, Li Qingxuan poured some water for Yan Jue and stood to the side to help grind the ink. After Yan Jue finished writing When the Bright Moon Appears, she threw it to him."I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Young Master." Li Qingxuan reached out to take it. Yan Jue looked at her palm carefully and asked,"Who do you want to kill?"
Li Qingxuan shivered and smiled awkwardly.""Young Master, why do you say that? I'm a weak woman. I don't even have the strength to tie up a chicken. How can I kill someone? Moreover, the laws of the Great Tang stated that a life for a life.”
Yan Jue chuckled and said," Your left hand is as tender as tofu, but your right palm is a little rough. There is a layer of calluses on the tip of your right pinky finger. This is the result of holding weapons for a long time. You are proficient in the four arts, so it is impossible for you to be a commoner's child. Instead, you come from a noble family and will not do the menial work of diving into the water and chopping wood. I guess that you are a good swordsman.”
Shocked, Li Qingxuan touched her waist with her right hand. Yan Jue didn't even look at her before he laughed."I advise you not to invite a snub. Your weapon is a soft weapon tied to your waist. I guess there must be a secret hidden in your zither.”
Li Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and placed her hand on her abdomen, dispelling the urge to draw her sword.
Yan Jue continued," You're here to entertain people for only one purpose. You're hiding here and waiting for your target to appear. That's why I asked you who you want to kill. Are you an assassin?"”
Li Qingxuan bit her lip and shook her head.
Yan Jue understood and nodded." Then, it should be that his family is in trouble. He is hiding here and waiting for the enemy to appear. He is here to seek revenge in Chang 'an."”
Li Qingxuan knew she couldn't hide it, so she nodded.""Your guess is correct. As expected of the Marquis of Langya County.”
Yan Jue said in a deep voice," If the person you want to kill has something to do with me, even if you're as beautiful as a fairy, I'll destroy you today. Tell me, who do you want to kill?"”
Li Qingxuan bit her lip and gnashed her teeth."Minister of Civil Affairs, Dou Jing."
"Oh? Dou Jing? It is said that Dou Jing is a free and easy person. She has been in charge of agriculture for a long time in Chang 'an and has devoted herself to studying agriculture. How could she offend you?”
Li Qingxuan smiled bitterly." In the early years of Wude, Dou Jing was the governor of Bingzhou. In Taiyuan, she killed my entire Li family due to a tax dispute. I was lucky enough to escape death. Seven years ago, I was determined to seek revenge and practiced my sword skills. Now, I'm hiding in Chang 'an. I must take her head as a memorial to the Li family's ancestors.”
Hatred flashed in her eyes. Such deep hatred made the Courtesan Belle agitated and her expression twisted.
