Card Room

Chapter 160 Chapter 10

When Qu Wanyue came to this world, she was in Princess House. Her identity was one, her parents died, and she lived on dancing. A few years ago, Princess Nine passed by in Kyoto, and Qu Wanyue was just bullied. When the princess saw that she was poor, she bought her as a maid. She usually took care of the princess' daily life and taught the princess some dances.

The princess suddenly went to the street that day, and Qu Wanyue accompanied her. When she went to buy clothes, she happened to meet Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou. The princess was ironic and was returned by Yu Hanjiang.

At that time, Qu Wanyue turned around and bought cookies for the princess. She wasn't on her side. When she returned, she saw Princess Nine with a black face, and said angrily, "I'm going to Jiangzhou!"

Qu Wanyue is unknown. But as a princess maid, she can only keep up with the princess.

On the way, she heard Princess Nine scold Master Yu for being blind and ignorant, so she realized that the Yu team was also in Jiangzhou.

It seems that the location of the incident was in Jiangzhou. Qu Wanyue followed the princess to Jiangzhou with ease, and she did not confirm her speculation until she saw Long Sen at the gate of the palace.

After Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, and Mo Xuemin entered the palace, they told the eight kings that they would visit Yu Hanjiang, the prefecture of Jiangzhou.

The housekeeper who was in charge of the Wangfu House heard that he was a new adult in the prefecture. He immediately respectfully brought the three to the side hall to settle down and poured tea. Then he turned to report to Wangye.

A moment later, a middle-aged man strode into the side hall.

For the first time, the three met the legendary eighth lord—I saw a middle-aged man in his forties who was tall and sturdy, wearing a brocade jade robe, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The three Yu Hanjiang immediately bowed down and saluted, "I've seen the Lord."

Wang Ye smiled and said, "No need to be polite." He looked at Yu Hanjiang with admiration in his eyes. "This is Lord Yu? Your Majesty often mentions you in letters. My king has also heard some stories about you, 19 years old." High school champion, was promoted to the prefecture of Jiangzhou within a few years, Master Yu is really young and promising! "

"The grandfather is too famous." Yu Hanjiang brought Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin to the front and introduced it to the grandfather. "This is Xiaolou from the inside, this master Mo from the prefecture, Wei Chen brought them together to congratulate Wang's birthday. . "

He said that he gave the prepared congratulations to Wang Ye, a famous calligraphy and painting brought from Kyoto. As an official, he was not good at buying too expensive things. When he heard that Wang loved calligraphy and painting, he took a picture of the characters in his family's collection.

Wang Ye asked his followers to accept the present and smiled. "Master Yu is very kind. You have towed off along the road. The King should have hosted a banquet for you. Unfortunately, these days the house is busy and it is difficult for the King to get out. On Sunday, be sure to invite adults to come to the house again. "

The eighth prince did not have any royal shelves, and he was very kind to Yu Hanjiang, and his smile looked very kind.

This smile reminded Yu Hanjiang of the emperor sitting on a dragon chair in Kyoto, who also smiled and couldn't see the mood. Sure enough, everyone who survived the royal struggle was human.

Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice, "Master, your Majesty still has a few words to ask Weichen to tell."

The eighth king agreed and said, "Master Yu, please tell the king to the study. As for Mrs. and Master ..." He turned to look at the maid next to him, saying "Caiyue, you take your wife and master to the garden, Entertain two distinguished guests. "

Caiyue answered, and took Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin and turned away.

Yu Hanjiang followed Wang Wang to the study, took out the sealed letter from his arms, and handed him respectfully with both hands. "This secret letter was passed on to Wang Wei by His Majesty.

"Oh? The secret letter?" The eighth Lord immediately received the letter from Yu Hanjiang. After opening the secret letter, his brow frowned slightly. I didn't know what was mentioned in the secret letter, and the Lord's expression became a little serious.

His eyes quickly swept through the letters before he put away the secret letter and smiled, "Master, it's hard. I haven't been back to Beijing for four years, and it's time to go back to Kyoto to see."

Next, Wang Ye politely asked some emperors about his situation and expressed his care as an uncle. I don't know if I really care about it or I want to show it to Yu Hanjiang. Regarding the government affairs of the court, and some important decisions of the court, he said nothing, saying that he was an idle prince who did not ask political affairs, and it seemed that the rumors were true.

At the same time, Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin are following the girl-in-law to enjoy the flowers at the palace.

The area of ​​the Zhenjiang Royal Mansion is astonishingly large. The entire royal mansion has a quiet environment, with pavilions, greenery, and flower beds. The arrangement of the flower beds is extremely elaborate. Some feng shui layouts are hidden in it, which is obviously specially designed .

Mo Xuemin studied design, and he could n’t help seeing the courtyard. “The planning and design of this courtyard is very reasonable. It should be costly to build and it is almost comparable to the people ’s park in our city. "

Xiao Lou also felt that walking in the yard was full of scenery, making people feel refreshed.

There is a huge lotus pond in the middle of the courtyard. At this time in the early autumn, the pond is full of lotuses. Walking on the cobblestone path beside the pond, you can also smell the fragrance of lotuses. There are stone benches and stone benches on the side of the lotus pond, and the breeze pavement. Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin simply sat down to appreciate the flowers, and the maid brought them a few dishes of washed fruit thoughtfully.

At this moment, a thin woman with a white veil passed by the lotus pond, beside her was Liu Qiao with a sharp ponytail, and Liu Qiao also carried a medicine basket in his hand.

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao looked at each other, and they didn't tell the truth-it seems that this one next to Liu Qiao is Miss Qi Yiwei.

As a king's palace, she is very elegantly dressed in a white dress with a simple silver dark pattern on it. There were no gorgeous beads in her hair, only a wooden clog was inserted.

White gauze covered most of her face, revealing only her eyes and eyebrows.

She glanced in the direction of Xiao Lou. Her eyes were clear and agile, with curved willow leaf eyebrows, she had a clear and beautiful temperament, she was a little beauty, and I wonder why she kept covering her face with a veil.

Liu Qiao followed Miss Four quickly.

Since Miss Four has Liu Qiao over there, don't worry about missing clues, Xiao Lou is very relieved about Liu Qiao.

The palace is too big, you need to find out the terrain first.

Xiao Lou had a plan, and suddenly said, "I want to go to the toilet, and the troubled Caiyue girl shows me the way."

"Okay, Madam, please." The girl immediately took Xiao Lou to the backyard.

The Wangfu ’s toilet was built in a very hidden place. The girl-in-law could n’t follow Xiaolou. He pointed out the road and waited outside. Xiaolou used a stealth cloak around the corner and put on acceleration shoes. The ground turned around.

Zhenjiang Palace is too big. He has limited time and can only figure out the backyard.

The backyard has one courtyard in each of east, west, south, and north directions. The names are all very artistic, and it is the residence of ladies and young ladies. There is a small Buddhist temple in the most secluded corner. Xiao Lou saw a dignified girl knocking on a wooden fish chanting in the Buddhist temple--Qi Yiyao, the young lady who is obviously the palace.

Long Sen once mentioned that the young lady was eager to read Buddhist scriptures. She usually went to the Buddhist temple to read and study Buddhist scriptures. Xiao Lou found that the girl had her eyes closed and the expression on her face was extremely calm, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her.

She had a marriage agreement with Master Lin's, and Lin Dao was arrogant and embarrassed outside. She was mixed in the green house every day. I wonder if she was raised in a deep girlfriend and didn't even hear about it.

Xiao Lou's heart was very confused.

The young lady is only 20 years old. At a young age, she was so strange that she hid in a Buddhist temple every day to read Buddhist scriptures.

Just then, a beautiful woman suddenly came over and said, "Ayao, today is the birthday of your father and king, why are you still reading the scriptures? Go back and change clothes and dress up."

Qi Yiyao knocked the wooden fish's hand a little, and said lightly, "Father Wang's birthday, there are so many guests every year. It's lively enough. It doesn't matter whether I participate or not."

The woman's face changed after hearing it. "What's the name? You are the eldest daughter of the palace, how can you not go to the birthday banquet of your grandfather? Your three younger sisters will attend the banquet tonight, and Master Lin will also Come here, listen to your mother, change your clothes, and don't let your sisters compare. "

She said she grabbed her daughter's wrist and forcibly dragged her away.

Qi Yiyao followed his mother without expression.

Not far away, Miss Si and Liu Qiao passed by the Buddha Hall and witnessed this scene as well.

Liu Qiao wondered, "Isn't the young lady like fun?"

The soft voice of Miss Four came over. "Um, sister, she was not healthy since she was a child, and she was seriously ill. She almost died. The father went to a temple outside Jiangzhou City and asked for an amulet. She raised her to ten She took it home when she was a child. She grew up in a temple when she was a kid. When she returned to the palace, she asked her father to build a Buddhist temple. When she was free, she went to the Buddhist temple to copy the scriptures.

Liu Qiao was curious. "Why did she make a marriage contract with the younger Lin family?"

Miss Four shook her head and said, "Our parents can only obey our lives."

Liu Qiao tried his best to listen to the news. Xiao Lou was worried that his disappearance was found and quickly left the Buddhist temple.

The girl waited for a long time, and when she saw Mrs. Yu came out, she couldn't help worrying, "Why did the lady go so long?"

Xiao Lou smiled slightly and said, "It may be that my stomach is broken in the morning and my body is not very comfortable."

When he followed the girl-in-law back to the lotus pond, Lao Mo, who went to the front yard for investigation, had just returned, and the two exchanged a look.

The clues available before the case were limited. Xiao Lou had only seen Miss Four and Miss Miss, Miss Shuan Monarch in the backyard, and Miss III, a boy who loved martial arts.

Old Mo whispered, "I saw that the Lin family is coming, including that Master Lin."

At this time, Yu Hanjiang and Wang Ye came out of the study, and Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin greeted them.

Lord Wang is very busy today, and there are a lot of VIPs. He volunteered to say, "I have something to leave" and let the followers take them to the side hall to settle down first. The three leave with interest, turn around and sit down in the side hall, waiting for the dinner to begin.

Soon, Shao Qingge also came in and sent several boxes of congratulations.

The Shao family, as Daqi's richest family, is of course the best gift among all guests.

Today Shao Qingge is dressed in a gorgeous silk gown and is very noble. After he entered the side hall, he saw Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, and Mo Xuemin, and immediately came over to perform the acting "Master Yu, it ’s a coincidence that we met again."

Yu Hanjiang had to co-operate with him to play "Shao, it's a coincidence."

Shao Qingge was sitting beside Yu Hanjiang with a smile, covering his face with a fan, pretending to retell the old with Yu, but in fact, he said in a low voice, "I just saw someone at the door."

Yu Hanjiang asked, "Who?"

Shao Qingge said, "Qu Wanyue."

Yu Hanjiang froze, and finally felt relieved. Their team hadn't seen Qu Wanyue for a long time, and now Teacher Qu has also come to the Zhenjiang Palace. All the members are gathered together. The highlight should start soon.

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "What is her identity?"

Shao Qingge rejoiced that "women dressed in men's clothing and turned into a handsome boy. Long Sen saw his wife in a men's clothing, his chin was almost off, and his mouth was big enough to swallow a duck egg."

Yu Hanjiang “…………”

When will President Shao's gloating problems be changed?

Yu Hanjiang asked seriously, "Is he posing as a man, or has he become a man?"

Shao Qingge laughed. "She should be pretending. She is still a woman in this world, so she can dress up as a man. She also came with a woman who also dressed as a man. Know who it is. "

As I was talking, I saw Qu Wanyue, a man, walking side by side with a handsome "boy".

They found an empty seat and sat down, drinking tea by themselves.

Qu Wanyue's gaze at Shang Yu Hanjiang gently nodded at him.

Xiao Lou also found Qu Wanyue, and immediately saw another person sitting next to her. The person looked familiar, as if she had seen it ... Xiao Lou thought carefully, this is not him and Yu Hanjiang Was the princess you saw while shopping in Kyoto?

Xiao Lou smiled softly and said in the ear of Yu Hanjiang, "Nine Princess, shall I come to you?"

It is rumored that Yu Hanjiang initially refused to imperial marriage, and Princess Nine hated it. But Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou have been married for four years. She is a princess. Many young talents want to be pony horses.

His Royal Highness Princess came all the way to Jiangzhou, just to find fault? If this is the case, then the princess is not just headstrong, but a problem in her mind. Xiao Lou felt that things would not be so simple.

Worried about Xiao Lou's thoughts, Yu Hanjiang immediately explained, "I'm really unfamiliar with her, and the total number of words I spoke didn't exceed five sentences. Don't think about it, she came here, it is probably related to the plot."

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Of course I believe in you. Also, I don't think the princess came to Jiangzhou simply to find our faults. The good show will soon be staged, let's watch it change."

Chapter 161 Chapter 11

The eighth lord's birthday party officially began in the evening.

Everyone was invited to the backyard. A lot of round tables were set up in the open space next to the pond. The table was filled with rich food. The guests took their seats in turn. The grandfather took the three ladies in the main seat.

It is rumored that Lord Wang is so beautiful. The three ladies do have their own characteristics. Mrs. Yun is dignified, Mrs. Qing is bright and moving, Mrs. Han is handsome and gentle, and the king surrounded by beautiful women smiles and looks very happy.

Da Qi's folk style is open, so there is no rule that women cannot show up. All three ladies have arrived, but four of them haven't shown up yet. Maybe they are preparing congratulations for the grandfather?

Shao Qingge and the distinguished guests of the Lin family sat at a table.

Master Lin's young master Lin Shaobo sat next to him. Today, this young Lin did not drink alcohol. Compared with the drunk sons who saw the sky the day before yesterday in Tianxiang Lou, the serious Lin Dashao is a talent. He has a marriage contract with the young lady and is about to get married next month. As Wang ’s son-in-law, his father-in-law ’s birthday, of course, he will attend. The congratulations sent by the representative of the Lin family are also quite impressive, carrying several boxes.

Lin Shaobo glanced at Shao Qingge, calmly bowed down to drink tea, pretending not to know.

Shao Qingge also gave him face, not mentioning Tianxianglou.

Staggered, the royal palace tonight is really lively.

After three drinks, I started to perform. The girls in Tianxianglou were invited up. After a soft dance, the boss aunt Qing smiled and said, "The next show is a brand new sword dance specially trained by Tianxianglou, wishing Wang Ye longevity!"

Shao Qingge noticed sharply-Ye Qi also appeared.

Tonight's girl Ye changed her dress, a red, mop-length dress with golden silk threads embroidered on her hair, and a lot of beads on her hair, burning brightly by the candlelight.

As soon as Ming Yan's Tianxiang Lou came out, Shao Qingge almost sprayed rice.

It ’s right to go to the birthday party to wear a festive occasion, but it ’s not necessary to celebrate like this, right? With a hijab on your head, you can marry directly.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang also forcibly laughed-Poor Ye Qi, this black history of dressing as a woman will probably keep everyone in mind.

For the first time, Qu Wanyue saw Ye Qi dressed like this, and was almost caught. She hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves and pretended to drink tea calmly. But the next Princess Nine was very interested and said, "This girl looks very beautiful. Where is Tianxiang Tower?"

Qu Wanyue forcibly kept calm, and whispered, "It is the largest song and dance venue in Jiangzhou. The women here are all acting and not selling themselves, and rely on talent to eat."

Princess Nine thoughtfully, "Is they going to perform sword dance, right? I remember you too, I don't know if these people dance sword dance, do you dance so well?"

Qu Wanyue smiled and said, "The princess has won the prize. I will only have some fur."

The two were chatting, and Ye Qi had already played the music.

He was in charge of accompaniment with pipa today. There were two beautiful women of harmony next to him. The three were sitting in the gazebo. As the melodious music sounded, five women in red dresses held long swords and danced in the open space.

Seeing them drawing swords at the same time, the guards of the royal palace immediately stood in front of Wang Ye.

The eighth lord smiled and waved his hand. "They all stepped back, but they were just sword dances to help."

The guards then retreated, and everyone stared nervously at the sword-swording woman, for fear that the sword tip would accidentally stab.

All five women wore red veils. The sword dance's posture is neat and clean. Each time the sword is swung out, it can be retracted and released like a spirit snake out of the hole. Moreover, they step on the rhythm of music and move very neatly, obviously training for a long time.

The melody played by Ye Qi gradually became irritated from melodious and gentle, like a thousand waves of waves.

The five women's dances are also getting better, and their movements are getting faster and faster. The five swords dance into a beautiful sword flower, which makes the guests dazzled.

Lord Yaba took the lead in applauding, and the guests followed suit.

During the warm applause, the formation instantly spread out. The four women suddenly flew up. The four gathered from the east, south, west, and north directions to the center of the venue. The sword tips of the four swords were accurate. Meet in one place!

The rest of the woman leaped, with her toes like a dragonfly, stepping on the intersection of the four swords. Her body was suspended and she stood on one foot, posing an elegant "white crane spreading her wings" action.

"Okay!" The applause around them grew hotter.

The sword dance with these five people really opened the eyes of the guests.

However, Xiao Lou clenched his fingers nervously, and his heart was a little disturbed.

The five swords reminded him of the assassin in the early hours of the day before yesterday, and also this kind of long sword with no obvious characteristics. The tip of the sword was highly poisonous and cut through Yu Hanjiang's back. The wound made Xiao Lou think of it. I have a lingering fear.

It is normal for a senior official to invite someone to perform a dance on his birthday, but sword dance ... Xiao Lou always feels awkward.

Suddenly, he matched his eyes.

The woman who displayed Bai He's wings spreading in the air suddenly became extremely cold. She stepped on it hard with the help of the elasticity of the four swords, and her whole body shot like a sharp arrow, and flew towards the Lord!

The sharp point of the sword pierced the king's chest!

Mrs. Yun was frightened. "There are assassins! Come on, protect your lord!"

Shouting like this, she hid better than anyone else, and immediately ducked behind a guard.

The other two ladies were also scared to the spot.

The king looked calm. When the woman's sharp sword almost pierced his chest, he suddenly slammed the wine on the table with a palm, took a silver bowl to cover the sharp sword, and swung his right hand. ——

The strength on his arm suddenly gave Zhenfei the woman's sword!

There was an exclamation from the guests.

The woman let go of her weapon and immediately took off the sharp bun on her head and poked at Wang's throat!

The two were fighting in one place. The woman was fierce. Wang Ye could deal with it with ease. I did not expect Wang Ye to be so powerful.

Several nursing homes hurried over to surround the woman. The woman saw the assassination failure, leaving a cold look, and leapt forward, as if flying geese on the roof, and disappeared into the night.

Wang Ye said coldly, "Chasing!"

Several guards immediately flew up to the eaves to chase the assassins, the banquet became a mess, and Ye Qi playing the piano was a bit embarrassed--how could he not have thought that Tianxianglou actually had an assassin, and the assassin in public?

Wang Ye's face was ugly, and he immediately let the boss of Tianxianglou speak.

Aunt Qing was so frightened that her legs were soft and she knelt down in front of him. "The lord ’s life! It's not about the daughter of the people. I didn't know her just now. Really ... our Tianxianglou girl didn't know how to martial arts!"

The other four women performing sword dance also dropped their swords and knelt side by side, shaking trembling.

Ye Qi and the two people playing in the distance had to kneel in the gazebo.

Ye Qi is about to die-who can be more unlucky than him? In this world, they were inexplicably thrown away at the Tianxiang Tower as the head card. As a result, there was an assassin in the team on the day of Wang Yeshou Ban, and they were collectively involved.

In ancient times, assassination of the Lord, this is a felony of beheading!

Assassins are mixed in the singing and dancing team of Tianxianglou. They can't figure out the relationship. If they encounter an unreasonable lord, they just come straight and cut them all. Isn't he very wronged?

Otherwise, see the opportunity to act in a moment and run directly with the teleport card?

Ye Qi was tangled, but at the next moment, he heard Wang Ye calmly say, "Somebody in Jiangzhou City dared to stab King Wang and Master Yu in public. You need to find out and give him an account."

The case was actually transferred to Yu Hanjiang?

Ye Qi was surprised, and soon he was happy, and it was so good to give it to Master Yu, at least he didn't have to suffer from flesh.

Yu Hanjiang immediately stepped forward. "Yes, Lord, Wei Chen must do his best." He glanced across the hall, saying coldly, "Come here, put all the girls in Tianxiang Tower into the jail for trial!"

A group of escorts and servitudes came up from the hula lama and took away all the Tianxianglou staff present.

Xiao Lou did not expect that things would develop this way.

He always thought that the internal relations of Wangfu were mixed. It was likely that some lady or wife had an accident. He did not expect that Wang Ye ’s birthday banquet was actually assassinated in public. ? Tracing Assassin Organizations?

Xiao Lou's intuition was not so simple.

He recalled it carefully. As for the assassin, he only remembered that the other party was a woman, wearing a red suit, should be about one and a seven meters tall, his eyes were cold, and his facial features were difficult to distinguish because of the veil covering his face.

The vast crowd, how do you find this?

Just thinking, suddenly, a scream rang out in the distance. "Ah-it's not good!"

It was the cry of a maid.

Yu Hanjiang immediately looked over there, and Wang Ye also frowned, and Shen asked, "What happened?"

A maid ran over in a panic, her feet dropped and bumped, she was obviously frightened, and her voice was shaken. "Master, Miss ... Miss Miss ..."

When Mrs. Yun heard her daughter, her face suddenly changed. "What happened to Miss?"

The maid was crying and knelt down. "The young lady is hanging herself on the tree in the backyard ..."

Xiao Lou "............"

Miss? The girl he saw in the afternoon, knocking on a wooden fish in a Buddhist temple? !!

Xiao Lou did not expect her to die!

The woman was assassinating the Lord Lord just now, and everyone's attention was attracted to the Lord Lord. The scene of the banquet was chaotic. In the end, Wang Ye was not injured, but the young lady was in a mess.

Hang yourself?

How could she hang herself when she had a royal palace?

Xiao Lou's eyes quickly swept across the hall.

Master Lin, who had a marriage contract with her, was not at the scene, and Miss Two, Miss Three, and Miss Four were not at the scene.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other, and said to each other with their eyes, "It's murder."
