Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 168 Spy
Under the night, Yuliu Street was brightly lit, and there was laughter everywhere. The front of Huixian Building was full of people, and they all wanted to go in and see the true face of the most beautiful woman in the capital.But today the restaurant is full, so we can't receive any more people.

When everyone heard the news, their faces immediately collapsed.

"It's like this once a month, it's really hard to wait!" The person who spoke was a young man in a blue and white robe, who looked like a scholar.

He looked at the bustling scene in the building, with envy in his eyes: "I have been waiting for five months to listen to the girl's song! Five months—"

Hearing what he said, the person next to him couldn't help but said, "What's five months? I spent 500 taels last time and didn't see the little girl."

500 taels were exported, and everyone burst into laughter.

"What is 500 taels? Last time Prince Yong sent back a piece of coral from the South China Sea and didn't see Miss Mu!"

Hearing this sentence, the people who were still complaining that they spent 500 taels in vain just now shut their mouths. Compared with Prince Yong, his 500 taels are really nothing.

Ling Qingyan listened to their conversation silently, with disdain in his eyes, and then followed the maidservant of Huixian Tower, walked in swaggeringly under the envious eyes of everyone.

In order to meet Mu Xiaoxiao, Ling Youyao spent a lot of money.

Although Huixianlou's performances on the fifth day of every month are free, if you want to meet people, you still need to spend money.

Fortunately, Ling Youyao was prepared in advance, and gave money to Huixianlou's mother in advance, and asked her to reserve a seat for Ling Qingyan closest to Mu Xiaoxiao.

"My lord, this way please." The maid respectfully opened the bead curtain and invited Ling Qingyan in.

Ling Qingyan secretly looked at the environment in the building, but he was not as resistant as when he first came here.

He has always disliked the smell of makeup and powder on women, and he has never set foot in a dusty place. If it wasn't for Ling Youyao today, he probably wouldn't come to such a place in his life.

After being seated, the maid brought tea and cakes, "My lord, Miss Mu will come out later, just call me if you have any orders."

"Well, I see, you go down."

Ling Qingyan took a fruit casually, and observed everyone in the building while nibbling on it.

Those who can enter Huixianlou either have power, or money, or both power and money.With just a cursory glance, he saw several colleagues.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wang, who is usually unsmiling, to like to listen to music." He clicked his tongue, never thinking that he would be seen by others.

Not long after, the building gradually quieted down, and the surrounding lights dimmed, leaving only the light in the center of the lobby.

Ling Qingyan rested his chin in boredom, and when he saw the slim figure opposite him slowly walking out with a pipa in his arms, his eyes froze suddenly.

"Why does this person look familiar?"

His eyes fell on the elegant room behind Mu Xiaoxiao. Although he only had one glance, he still saw the man's face through the half-open door——

It was none other than Cai Qi who had just succeeded the Liang family as Minister of the Household Department.

Seeing Cai Qi here, Ling Qingyan was very surprised.

The Cai family's family education has always been strict, and they will never allow their children and grandchildren to enter and leave the land of fireworks.Although Cai Qi has not done much in recent years, he has never made any mistakes and has been safe and sound.But he appears here now, and the reason behind it is puzzling.

Could it be that he just got promoted and got carried away for a while?

Ling Qingyan secretly guessed.

At this time, Cai Qi didn't even notice that Ling Qingyan had seen him, and he held the wine glass by himself, talking to the people next to him with a smile on his face.

Ling Qingyan's gaze lingered for a moment, then retracted.

Why Cai Qi came here, he didn't want to know, maybe it was just for fun, after all, let him have an old-fashioned father?

There was melodious music in their ears, and everyone was fascinated by it, and they all looked intoxicated.

Mu Xiaoxiao wore a long smoky purple dress tonight, holding a pipa in her hand, her eyebrows slightly raised, her beautiful eyes were clear and light, without any emotion, like an orchid in an empty valley, hanging on a cliff, not afraid of the abyss, not afraid of the abyss, Fear of falling.

——This was Ling Qingyan's feeling when he saw Mu Xiaohour for the first time.

It's hard to imagine that in the world of fireworks, you can still find such a different kind of demeanor.

No wonder some people are willing to pay a lot of money to see her.

The soft and melodious sound of the pipa lingers in the entire Huixian Building, the audience in the building is fascinated by it, and the guests outside the building are also trying their best to prick their ears to steal two parts of the pipa language.

Fu Mingjue, dressed in black, came slowly from the other side of Yuliu Street, his steps were calm and elegant, and there was a faint smile in his cold eyes.

Everyone's attention was on the sound of the pipa, and no one saw that Fu Mingjue was bringing someone over.

Jiang Liu followed Fu Mingjue and said, "My lord, our people have already surrounded the Huixian Building, and this time they must have no escape."

"No hurry." Fu Mingjue stopped suddenly, "There is still a snake that has not come out of the hole, just wait."

Jiang Liu understood, and then asked: "My lord, how did you know he was waiting for someone?"

Fu Mingjue raised his eyes to the Huixian Tower not far away, and said, "Yuan Yuxuan risked his life to enter Beijing early, and was willing to be a mouse in Beijing for so long. Besides waiting for someone to appear, is there a second chance?" Is that possible?"

"After lurking for so long, but he suddenly appeared in Huixian Tower today, you don't need to think about it, you know that the person he was waiting for will come tonight."

Jiang Liu frowned, and said solemnly: "If this is the case, then there are spies from Beidi in the capital?"

"Heh." Fu Mingjue chuckled, "You can indeed say that."

In fact, after learning that Yuan Yuxuan was in the capital, he began to suspect, but there is no evidence, everything is just speculation.

Thinking of the current situation, Jiang Liu couldn't help feeling a little worried: "The Yuanwu Guard incident happened before, and now there are Beidi spies. It seems that the capital is not absolutely safe."

Fu Mingjue said lightly: "There are no absolutes in this world. We can only do our best to get closer to absolute safety."

He paused, and then asked again: "By the way, has the news from Tongzhou reached Yuan Yuxuan's ears?"

Jiang Liu: "Yes, this subordinate has already done what you said. I guess he should already know by now."

Fu Mingjue raised his eyebrows and said, "This king is really curious about Yuan Yuxuan's expression when he finds out."

He tried so hard to plan a game, but in the end it came to nothing. He guessed that anger, surprise, or panic should appear on Yuan Yuxuan's face?

The answer is - all three.

Yuan Yuxuan tightly pinched the newspaper written by Fu Mingjue, her face was terribly gloomy, and she gritted her teeth: "He, how dare he?!"

Na Jia quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, calm down, Fu Mingjue has always been arrogant, since he dared to blatantly deliver the letter to you, he must have spotted us, and we should leave now! "

"The plan is just one step away. If you let me leave now, do you want me to surrender to Fu Mingjue?!"

Yuan Yuxuan tried his best to suppress his anger, thinking of the tragic death of his compatriots, he wished to cut Fu Mingjue into pieces.

"But Your Highness!" Na Jia calmly analyzed, "If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave any later! Now the envoys of Nanjiang and Xizhou are in the capital, if you are caught by Fu Mingjue at this time , the loss is the face of the whole Beidi!"

"Xizhou has had a deep grudge with us for a long time. Seeing you in trouble, I will step on you. Your Highness, let's go!"

Najia almost begged to persuade.

Yuan Yuxuan clutched the ironic letter tightly, and these three simple sentences completely shattered all his pride for 20 years.

"Fu Mingjue is really powerful!"

Na Jia knew that he was unwilling, and tried to persuade him: "Your Highness, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of no firewood. The person you are waiting for will probably not come. If we stay here, we will be captured without a fight."

Why did Yuan Yuxuan not know the truth of what he said, but just admit defeat like this, he really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

But thinking of his father's explanation before leaving, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up.

"Let's go! I will settle this account with Fu Mingjue in the future!"
