"What? The Daxing county government issued a notice to arrest me? Said that I was the remnant of Yang Xuangan's traitor? They also offered a reward of 300 guan to arrest me? Brother Ziqi, are you sure you are not joking?" Chen Yingliang asked dumbfounded.

"Brother Yingliang, how could I make such a joke with you? If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. This is the reward notice I asked my servants to bring back. It clearly states that you are the accomplice of Yang Xuangan's traitor." Wei Zi Qi handed a rolled up notice to Chen Yingliang, and said with a serious expression.

Old stubborn Wei Xuan's life is difficult, only one son named Wei Xiaoze, unfortunately died early, leaving only one grandson Wei Ziqi to old stubborn Wei. Although Qi is the only child of the Wei family, he is not as arrogant and defiant as other children of the rich and powerful. After Chen Yingliang came to find him with Wei Xuan's handwritten letter, Wei Ziqi not only took in Chen Yingliang, Chen Laosan and others without hesitation. According to Wei Xuan's request in the letter, he took the initiative to treat Chen Yingliang as a brother, gave Chen Yingliang and others the best treatment in life, and invited famous doctors from the capital to treat Chen Laosan's injuries, and got along very happily with Chen Yingliang.

Chen Yingliang quickly opened the notice, and Zhao Cheng and Yu Le, who could read a few words, also came up to look at it together. What left Chen Yingliang speechless was that the notice with the seal of Daxing County really clearly stated offering a reward They also charged Chen Yingliang as a remnant of a traitor directly, and stated Chen Yingliang's age, family background, old address, and the amount of reward of three hundred guan. In addition, there is a Huaying avatar that is vaguely similar to Chen Yingliang.

"Young Master Wei, isn't this ridiculous?" Zhao Cheng asked Wei Ziqi with his tongue open: "It is said that Chen Jishi is a remnant of a traitor, so what is it for us to report to the soldiers of the national army? Could it be that he is also a traitor of Yang Xuangan?"

"I also think it's absurd. I don't understand why Daxing County wanted to frame Brother Yingliang as a remnant of traitors." Wei Ziqi smiled wryly, and said, "But it doesn't matter. I'll send someone to Daxing County right away, tell them the situation, and call them Immediately take down the notice, and for other matters, wait for grandfather to come back before he will be held accountable."

After saying that, Wei Ziqi turned around and was about to arrange for the envoys, Chen Yingliang hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Ziqi, wait, there's no need."

"No need? Why?" Wei Ziqi was taken aback.

"Because I bet that this notice is made by my enemy Chai Shen!" Chen Yingliang pointed to the notice offering a reward for his capture and said viciously: "The Chai family and his son must have known that I was back, but they couldn't find it. Daxing City It's so big, and no matter how many lackeys there are in his family, it's impossible to search all over the city. Maybe I'm still worried that I'll take the opportunity to escape from Daxing, so he simply accused me of being a remnant of the traitor and asked Daxing County to send out officials The whole city is arresting me, and I can't leave the city."

"That makes sense." Wei Ziqi nodded deliberately, and said, "The county magistrate Han Shimo has already gone to the expedition with his grandfather, and now the county magistrate Wang Feng is in charge of Daxing's affairs, and this Wang Feng has always liked to flatter the dignitaries and high officials. Famous, Mr. Chejun came forward to frame you, Wang Feng must be fully assisting. If this is the case, what are you going to do, brother?"

"Don't do anything, don't worry about anything, just let them arrest you." Chen Yingliang said with a smile, "The bigger the mess, the better. When the truth finally comes out, I'll see how Chai Shen ends up!"

"You, you, virtuous brother, you have a temper of vengeance." Wei Ziqi shook his head, sighed, and then said: "Since you don't want me to negotiate with Daxing County, then do whatever you want Well, you just stay at my house for the past few days and wait until grandfather comes back."

"Stay at home?" Chen Yingliang said with a sad face, "Brother, it's not that I don't listen to you. I finally came back to Daxing. It's too boring to stay here all day. Also, I promised to bring Walking around Daxing with these two brothers who served the national army..."

"There are notices all over the city to arrest you, and the officials of Daxing County are also arresting you all over the city. How do you get out?" Wei Ziqi asked interrupted.

"It's okay." Chen Yingliang picked up the wanted notice again, and said with a smile: "Look, brother Ziqi, this portrait just vaguely resembles me, I put on a little make-up, and no one will recognize me when I walk on the street. Even if there is an official interrogation, as long as I show the official document that the guard left behind to give me, who would dare to take me?"

Wei Ziqi hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of his grandfather, he nodded and said: "You can do whatever you want, but when you go out, you'd better take a few of my servants with you. If the servant comes forward and says that you are a distinguished guest in my family, ordinary people will never dare to embarrass you."

Chen Yingliang was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Wei Ziqi repeatedly, so, while being wanted by the government, Chen Yingliang settled down with Chen Laosan, changed himself into a fancy dress that he had never worn before, and put on a little make-up. Dressed himself up in splendor, like a flowery young man, he couldn't wait to get two accomplices, Zhao Cheng and Yu Le, and picked out four lackeys from the servants of Weifu, and finally went shopping with the accomplices and lackeys in a big way , The servant reported to Wei Ziqi, and Wei Ziqi didn't stop him, but secretly wondered why his always serious grandfather allowed Chen Yingliang to gossip like this, and why he deliberately concealed Chen Yingliang's identity, and helped Chen Yingliang give Lao Chai's family a big surprise

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the residential areas in the city were called squares, which were built in imitation of military camps. Each square was surrounded by walls, and the four gates were guarded by soldiers. Residents in the squares were not allowed to open their doors to the street. There are very few dignitaries and senior officials who have been granted permission to open the door facing the street. As the emperor of Daxingtu, Wei Xuan naturally has this privilege, so Chen Yingliang and others left Chongyifang where the Weifu is located without going through the gate, and swaggered straight to the neighbors. By the way, the metropolis is also the market where Chen Yingliang bought the knife, and the market where Chen Yingliang met Yang Yuer.

It was almost noon, and there were quite a lot of passers-by on the street. As Wei Ziqi said, there were notices and portraits of Chen Yingliang wanted on both sides of the street, and there were indeed government servants guarding the intersection with Chen Yingliang's portrait, looking at the past vigilantly. passerby. However, because Chen Yingliang led the family guards of the Weifu, not only did these officials dare not come up to question Chen Yingliang, but they kept nodding and bowing from a distance, saluting to the family members of Daxingtu Emperor Weixuan. Chen Yingliang was secretly proud, but also quietly Tell everyone to call themselves Mr. Liang, so as not to accidentally call out the name and cause unnecessary trouble.

In fact, if you want to visit Daxing City, the most ideal choice should be the Furong Garden in the southeast corner of Daxing, but I don’t know why, from the moment Chen Yingliang returned to Daxing, Chen Yingliang always wanted to go back to the city. In such a situation, Chen Yingliang insisted on going out. Apart from being lively and active, there was another important reason, that is, Chen Yingliang wanted to come to the city deep in his heart. As for why he missed the city so much, Chen Yingliang himself didn't know the reason.

Returning to the metropolis of Daxingdong City that he had longed for and day and night, and seeing the vaguely familiar bustling scenes in the metropolis again, Chen Yingliang finally understood why he missed the metropolis so much, because Chen Yingliang immediately remembered the love that he had only met once. Yang Yuer, a girl in a green shirt, strongly hopes that a miracle will happen again, so that she can see the pure and pretty Yang Yuer again.

Missing is like fine wine, the longer it is, the more mellow and mellow it becomes. After not seeing each other for more than two months, the identity and mood are completely different. Chen Yingliang, who is not a first-time brother in terms of feelings, suddenly finds that he seems to have returned to the first time. Like when dating, my heart is full of tension, anticipation and sweetness, and my heart is full of Yang Yuer's voice, smile and pretty figure. Such longing made Chen Yingliang couldn't help scolding himself, "Childish! How old are you? Are you still in junior high school and elementary school?"

Blame it on yourself, after leading two foreigners, Zhao Cheng and Yu Le, to stroll around the city for a long time, Chen Yingliang unknowingly walked to the remote street where he met Yang Yuer, and was still meeting Yang Yuer He stopped at the entrance of that alley and refused to leave for a long time, hoping that a miracle would happen in his heart so that he could see Yang Yu'er again and give himself a chance to show off and make friends in front of Yang Yu'er.

Of course, the miracle will not happen for the second time, but the family member of the Wei Mansion, who is not very clear about Chen Yingliang's identity, kindly reminded: "Chen Ji..., oh, that's wrong, Mr. Liang, this is the most remote place in the city, there is nothing to visit. There are a few busy streets, do you want a villain to guide you?"

Feeling a little lost, Chen Yingliang nodded silently, forced a smile, and asked, "Are you hungry? I remember that there is a restaurant nearby called Guangjulou. The restaurant is very famous in Daxing. How about we go eat and drink together?" ?”

The weather was quite hot, and after walking around under the scorching sun for more than an hour, Zhao Cheng, Yu Le and the others were already thirsty and hungry. When they heard Chen Yingliang's suggestion, they naturally applauded. Quite a big Guangjulou, but of course the poor boy Chen Yingliang had never eaten in this Guangjulou before, so he didn't know the specific situation, so he asked Weifu's servant to negotiate, and he himself admired the interior decoration of this well-known restaurant in Daxing .

"Shopkeeper, do you have private rooms here? We want three clean and spacious private rooms, and the private rooms should be connected together."

Shouts came suddenly, Chen Yingliang and the others turned their heads to look, only to see a handsome nobleman coming in surrounded by several servants, he opened his mouth to ask for three private rooms, the shopkeeper behind the counter hurriedly greeted him, and greeted the nobleman. The young master saluted respectfully, and said with a distressed face: "Young master, I'm really sorry, the last private room has just been booked, and the hall on the second floor is still empty. I wonder if the young master can give in?"

"Shopkeeper, it's fine for us to sit in the lobby, but this time I want to entertain the female relatives, at least I need a private room." The nobleman was about twenty-four or five years old, and his speech and behavior were very graceful, and he said very politely: "I don't know if the store owner can ask this guest to be accommodating and give up this private room for the sake of pity and sympathy?"

The owner of the shop looked even more embarrassed, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Yingliang, who was also dressed luxuriously. The nobleman understood, hurriedly took two steps forward, saluted Chen Yingliang, and said respectfully: "Brother, please forgive me. There are female family members who need to be taken care of, so I boldly beg my brother to lower your dignity and give me the private room, in return, my brother will take care of this meal."

Although this nobleman is dressed luxuriously, he behaves politely and speaks respectfully. He is also a rich man, but he is completely different from Chai Shao, who Chen Yingliang hates the most. Chen Yingliang has a good impression of him, and he just opened his mouth to agree. Satisfied, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Young Master, you must first come first, first served, right? The private room that our Young Master booked first, why should I give it to you?"

"Bold!" The nobleman's entourage also jumped out, angrily said: "Do you know who our young master is? How dare you talk to him like that?"

"I don't know." Ding, a family member of Wei's mansion, replied proudly: "I only know that Mr. Liang is a distinguished guest in our mansion, and Mr. Wei, the eldest grandson of the guard, personally told us that we must serve this Mr. Liang well! "

"Are you people from Wei Liushou's mansion?" The face of the noble young master's entourage suddenly changed, and he took a step back timidly—it's still the same sentence, in Daxing City, there are not many dignitaries who dare to offend the stubborn old Wei Xuan, the emperor of Daxingtu. .

"Okay, okay." Chen Yingliang hurriedly stopped the servant of Wei's mansion, and said with a smile: "It's the same wherever you sit, but it's more lively when you sit in the hall. You don't have to have so many taboos, and drinking is more enjoyable. Let the private room be given to this young master. Bar."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yingliang turned to the noble young master and said with a smile: "Brother, please invite your female relatives, let's sit in the hall together and have a good drink later."

Hearing that Chen Yingliang was a distinguished guest in Weixuan's mansion, the stubborn nobleman who could not afford to offend Mr. Wei was already in despair. Of course he was overjoyed to hear what Chen Yingliang said, so he hurriedly bowed his hands to thank Chen Yingliang, and at the same time sent someone out to inform his companions , and then warmly invited Chen Yingliang to go upstairs together, sat down in the spacious hall of Guangju Building, and took the initiative to sit at the same table with Chen Yingliang, chatted happily with Chen Yingliang, and tentatively asked: "Brother, I don't know your surname Gao, who is Wei Liushou? My father and Wei Liushou are ministers in the same palace, which can be regarded as a small friendship, and I don't know how to match you and me."

"My surname is Liang Mingcheng. I'm a junior of Wei Liushou. I'm of the same generation as Young Master Ziqi." Chen Yingliang answered rather vaguely.

"Brother Ziqi is of the same generation, so you and I are also of the same generation." The noble young master was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly said: "In that case, how about we call you brothers? Brother Yu is a few years older than you, so I dare to call you Brother."

"Brother is too polite, younger brother dare not be." Chen Yingliang politely agreed, and then said casually: "Oh, by the way, I haven't asked elder brother Gao's name yet, dare to ask elder brother's name."

"Brother, you don't need to be polite." The noble young master smiled and said, "I don't dare to take my name, Brother Yu's surname is Li Jiancheng."

"Oh, so it's Brother Jiancheng." Chen Yingliang nodded casually, then his eyes widened, and he blurted out in surprise, "Li Jiancheng? You are the eldest son Li Jiancheng of Tang Guogong's mansion?!"

"Brother Yu, have you heard of Brother Yu's name?" Li Jiancheng was somewhat puzzled by Chen Yingliang's violent reaction.

"I've heard of it. Not only have I heard of it, but it's still like thunder." Chen Yingliang, who came back to his senses, told the truth, and said with a wry smile: "The famous Tang Guogong's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, does everyone in the world know? Who doesn't know?"

"My virtuous brother is too much." Li Jiancheng replied very honestly, "If it weren't for his father's reputation, how would the world know about Li Jiancheng? My virtuous brother praises me so much, I am ashamed of my brother Yu."

"It's not ridiculous praise, it's the truth. Under normal circumstances, it won't be long before everyone in the world will know your name and know that you were killed by your own brother Li Shimin." Chen Yingliang muttered in his heart, and said: " Brother, I heard that you have a younger brother named Li Shimin, I don't know where he is? Can you show me some other day?"

"There's no need to wait for another day, he's already here." Li Jiancheng spoke surprisingly, and greeted Chen Yingliang's back with a smile: "Erlang, come and meet this Mr. Liang, he is the one who gave up the private room for us."

"Li Shimin has come?!"

Chen Yingliang's eyes almost popped out of his sockets again, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the stairs. Sure enough, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walking up to the second floor. His appearance and appearance were quite similar to Li Jiancheng. Second Your Majesty! Chen Yingliang was shocked, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, but accidentally saw a red-clothed girl coming up behind Li Shimin, who seemed to be a little older than Li Shimin, with a graceful figure, fair skin and small mouth, quite pretty and charming, with a hand in her hand. He also took a sword and looked a little aggressive, and he didn't know who belonged to Li Shimin.

At this point in the matter, no matter how beautiful the girl in red is, it is difficult to attract Chen Yingliang's attention. Chen Yingliang just hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Shimin, preparing to make the best first impression on the future lord of the world, but he still needs to say hello politely. Before saying anything, Chen Yingliang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets for the third time—behind the girl in red, another girl in light yellow clothes followed up to the second floor. It was Yang Yuer whom Chen Yingliang missed more than once!

"Miss Yang!" In ecstasy, Chen Yingliang, who had been dreaming of Yang Yu'er for a long time, blurted out, and immediately forgot about Li Shimin in front of him.

Hearing Chen Yingliang's voice, Yang Yu'er, who was walking gracefully with her head down slightly, raised her head in surprise, and after taking a closer look at Chen Yingliang who had put on a little make-up, Yang Yu'er's small cherry mouth suddenly opened enough to stuff an egg in, look Looking at Chen Yingliang with an unbelievable expression, it was obvious that he had recognized Chen Yingliang, and it was also obvious that he had never expected to meet Chen Yingliang here.

"Do you know each other?" Everyone present was confused, especially the girl in red who asked Yang Yu'er strangely: "Yu'er, do you know him?"

"I know... I know." Yang Yu'er finally came back to her senses and nodded, hesitated for a while, then pointed to Chen Yingliang and said to the girl in red: "Sister Qian'er, let me introduce you, this is Liang Chengliang Young master, I have met him a few times before."

For some reason, Yang Yuer not only gave Chen Yingliang a pseudonym casually, but also made Chen Yingliang's pseudonym very heavy on purpose. As a result, Chen Yingliang was dumbfounded again. I don't know why Yang Yuer fabricated a pseudonym for herself? And it happens to be exactly the same as the pseudonym I fabricated

The answer was soon revealed, and Yang Yuer pointed to the girl in red again, and introduced to Chen Yingliang with a smile: "Mr. .”

Chen Yingliang suddenly turned his head and focused his eyes on the face of his former fiancée Chai Qian. It happened that Chai Qian also turned to look at Chen Yingliang, and her eyes met. The guy, why does he look more and more like a beating?"

"There's a play to be sung." Yang Yu'er, the only one who knew about it besides Chen Yingliang, sighed inwardly, "The road to Yuanjia is narrow, don't kill anyone today."
