Chapter 163

"You are so unreasonable. This lantern was clearly the one we took a fancy to first, and you want to fight for it. Could it be that you want to imitate that bandit's behavior?"

Not far from Li Ke, there was a quarrel. Li Ke turned his head and looked, and it turned out that Chang Sun Chong and Chang Sun Huan were not far away from him, and they seemed to be arguing with the girl next to him. .

"Brother Sanhuang, this is the elder cousins ​​Sun Chong and Sun Huan of my uncle's family, and the elder cousin Sun Jiaqing of my uncle's family." Li Ke saw them, and Chang Le who was beside Li Ke naturally also saw them. Ke didn't know them, so he leaned into Li Ke's ear and whispered to Li Ke.

Changsun Chong is the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, and he often follows Changsun Wuji. Li Ke has seen him before. I also know it, but it's the first time for the eldest grandson Jiaqing Li Ke to see him.

Li Ke asked: "The members of the eldest grandson's family are here, do you want to avoid them?"

Chang Le nodded and said: "If they know that I'm here, they will definitely tell Uncle, and Uncle will know after knowing about Mother. It's too troublesome for me to stay away for now."

Chang Le has already left the palace, not because she is afraid of being seen by the brothers of the eldest grandson's family, but Li Ke brought her out of the palace this time. If she is found out, Li Ke may be implicated, and Li Ke will be reprimanded.

Li Ke pointed to the carriageway behind him: "Then you can take shelter in the carriage."

"Alright." Chang Le replied.

After finishing speaking, Princess Changle hid in the carriage behind them before the eldest grandson's family noticed her.

Li Ke saw that Chang Le had already hid in the carriage, so he lost his scruples. He looked at the eldest grandson brother in front of him, and greeted him: "Brother eldest grandson, Mr. Li came here to hang out. I didn't expect Xian Kunzhong to be here too. .”

Li Ke stepped forward, only calling Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan brothers, but deliberately turned a blind eye to Changsun Jiaqing behind them.

Li Ke called them eldest grandson brothers in his mouth, and called himself Li, naturally he didn't want to reveal his identity, and elder grandson Huan and Li Ke had some old grievances, and he didn't want to be inferior in front of him.Since Li Ke himself does not regard himself as a prince, why should he bow down by himself.

So Changsun Huan paused for a moment, then cupped his hands to Li Ke and said, "So it's Mr. Li, Mr. Li is really in a good mood, he's busy with important work, so he can still be here at leisure."

Changsun Chong, who was beside Changsun Huan, saw Li Ke, and also cupped his hands: "I have met Mr. Li."

Li Ke smiled, and said to Changsun Huan: "I'm just an idler, why is the important thing, but Brother Changsun, I just heard you arguing here, but I don't know why?"

Li Ke's voice fell, and the eldest grandson brothers hadn't spoken yet, but the young girl who was arguing with them stepped forward first, her eyes were shining brightly, and she said to Li Ke: "Since this young master is also asking, he probably won't just stand by and watch. Please be a mediator and help me judge, okay?"

Li Ke was a little surprised when he heard the words of the approaching girl. This girl was so courageous. Not only was she not timid when meeting strangers, but she even took the initiative to step forward.

Moreover, this young girl is really smart. Just now when Li Ke spoke, although it sounded very polite to the eldest grandson brother, the meaning of the words was quite alienated after careful inspection. The young girl must have guessed that Li Ke and the eldest grandson brother although They are acquainted with each other, but there is a gap between them, which is beneficial to her, so Li Ke is asked to be the intermediary.

This girl looked about ten years old, and she was extremely beautiful. Although she was still young, she could tell that she was a rare beauty, and in terms of appearance, she was even higher than Princess Changle.

Li Ke was also interested in the matter of the eldest grandson brother, so he asked: "There is quite a commotion, but I don't know what it is?"

After hearing Li Ke's words, the young girl could see that Li Ke was intervening intentionally, so she pointed to a lantern in front of her and replied, "This peony lantern was our first choice, and we have already made an agreement with the owner of the shop." Yes, but this young master wants to compete with us, regardless of who comes first, so I ask young master to help us to speak a word of justice."

Listening to the girl's words, Li Ke suddenly understood that the key to their dispute was actually the peony lantern in front of him.

The girl took a fancy to the peony lantern, and the eldest grandson brother also took a fancy to the peony lantern. Both parties wanted it, so a dispute arose.

The girl must take whatever she likes. Seeing that the girl seems to be very stubborn, and she loves the lantern very much, so Li Ke lowered his head and asked the girl, "Do you know the rules for taking lanterns here? It’s not all about money.”

This girl is brightly dressed, and she is not a girl from an ordinary family. Of course, there is no shortage of money, but how does a girl like him shoot an arrow with a bow and hit the ribbon on the lantern?
The girl looked behind her, and said to Li Ke: "Don't worry, my lord, although the little girl can't draw a bow, she has her own servant to do it for her."

After listening to her, Li Ke looked behind the girl. Sure enough, there were two people standing behind her. One was a girl who was eleven or twelve years older than her. Similar, it seems to be his sister.

The other was tall and strong, with eyes as firm as a mountain, and a deep scar on his neck, which was obviously wounded by a sword. This man felt a chill just looking at it, like a veteran of many battles from the government army.

Naturally, it would not be an ordinary wealthy family who could make such a person a slave. Judging by the appearance of this girl, she must be the daughter of a powerful family in Beijing.

Li Ke turned around and asked the eldest grandson brother, "But I don't know what elder brother grandson means?"

Since Li Ke asked this question, it seems that he meant to be the wrong person, and in Li Ke's capacity, it's okay to be the wrong person.

This lantern was originally intended by the eldest Sun Jiaqing to take it back and send it to the brothel. It doesn't hurt to ask for it, but if Li Ke opens his mouth, he will give up this lantern. I'm as scared as Li Ke.

And just now when Li Ke met them for the first time, he only saw Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan in his eyes, but turned a blind eye to himself who was standing with the brothers of Changsun. Changsun Jiaqing already had secret resentment in his heart.

Changsun Jiaqing said: "It doesn't matter what happened first, as long as whoever can hit the lantern, the lantern will belong to him. What do you think?"

Changsun Jiaqing is the eldest son of Changsun Shunde, he has dealt with soldiers in the army since he was a child, although his martial arts skills are not very high, he is also proficient in bow and horse, and he is still somewhat sure of hitting the ribbon on the lantern three feet away.

According to the meaning of Changsun Shunde, it is to compete with the girl's servant.

But Li Ke said: "But if both of you hit the lantern, whose lantern is it?"

As soon as Li Ke's voice fell, the eldest grandson Jiaqing and the girl's faces also showed tangled expressions. What Li Ke said was also true. If both of them were shot, it would be difficult for one person to make half of the lantern.

The girl asked: "Then what does Mr. Yi mean?"

Li Ke thought for a while, plucked the bowstring in his hand, and said to the two: "How about this, let me shoot this arrow, you decide whether to win or lose, each guess whether I hit or not, and whoever guesses right will win this lantern." Whose and how?"
