"It's two secret letters from Buerchijin Batu and Wo Kuotai to them." Duan Ling replied, handing the letter to Lord Changliu, saying, "Take it and present it to the minister."
But Changliu-jun didn't pick it up, and replied, "Whoever gets it will hand it over to him."
"Yeah." Wu Du tacitly took the two exam papers away. Changliu-jun said again: "What should we do now? We have to find a way, right? If the Prime Minister finds out, we have to finish the game together!"
Wu Du and Duan Ling both thought very dangerous, Duan Ling's face was as usual, he frowned in thought, and remained silent.
At this time, Zheng Yan took a few steps upstairs, brought a gust of wind, sat beside the three of them, and put an oiled paper bag on the table. Lang Junxia walked up slowly.
"The gift list is all here." Zheng Yan said.
When Lang Junxia came again, Duan Ling couldn't help being surprised, but Wu Du frowned and said, "What did you tell him to do?"
"He stole it for me," Zheng Yan replied, "in the East Palace."
"Where's the scabbard?" Lang Junxia asked.
When the cold wind blew, Duan Ling was covered in cold sweat and chills.
Wu Du motioned for Lang Junxia to take it, Lang Junxia moved his gaze to the scabbard on the table, reached out to touch it, but did not take his seat, he pressed the mechanism on the scabbard, and with a "click", the hidden compartment was opened.
The dark cell is empty.
Lang Junxia: "..."
The four of them stared at Lang Junxia at the same time, and Changliu-jun seemed to feel something. The eyes exposed from the mask were full of doubts. First, they swept to Wu Du and then stared at Duan Ling.
"Yo." Zheng Yan murmured, "What kind of mystery is this playing?"
Lang Junxia smiled slightly and put the scabbard back.
"Where are people locked up?" Zheng Yan asked Duan Ling.
"I... can't remember." Duan Ling said, "It won't be outside the city anyway. I heard laughter. Looking out from the black cloth, it was brightly lit. It was... it was..."
Suddenly, Duan Ling had a flash of light, remembering Mu Qing's original arrangement this evening, and asked, "Could it be Qunfang Pavilion?"
Several people just looked at Duan Ling, waiting for him to make a decision. After all, he was the only one who was caught.
"Let's go to Qunfang Pavilion and have a look." Duan Ling said, "Everyone is divided into two groups, all the way to Qunfang Pavilion, all the way to the wharf to deliver things, and follow Amugu along the way. You... Wuluohoumu, you and Zheng Yan go to the wharf Follow me, Wu Du and Lord Changliu will find someone, is this okay?"
Lang Junxia smiled slightly, turned and left without saying anything.
"I'll leave it to you." Zheng Yan replied, then turned over the railing and disappeared into the night.
After Lang Junxia left, Duan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Wu Du, but Wu Du waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to panic, but Chang Liujun was absent-minded. The three came to the back alley of Qunfang Pavilion, and Duan Ling turned his head to identify the voices in the building, and it felt like this was the place.
"It's here." Duan Ling said, "This is the most likely place."
There are many servant girls in the Qunfang Pavilion, and they are not easy to be discovered as long as they hide on the bed.
Wu Du said: "Find someone from side to side and act separately, Lord Changliu, you are on the first floor and we are on the second floor."
When Amugu and Hardanbat | Er stayed in Jiangzhou, they must have often entered the Qunfang Pavilion, otherwise, what would they do with their envoys staying in the Han capital? Wrestling in the yard every day
The more Duan Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was correct. After making an appointment with Changliu-Jun about the way of reporting, Wu Du took Duan Ling's waist with one hand and went up to the second floor a few times.
"Don't go out?!" Duan Ling asked in a low voice.
Wu Du said: "Don't bother, find someone quickly, go back to sleep, aren't you tired from taking the test all day?"
Duan Ling had no choice but to give up, Wu Du ran away in a few steps, Duan Ling was still clinging to the eaves of the window, carefully moving it sideways so as not to make a sound, Wu Du had to come back and say, "No one will notice the sound, it's not Eavesdropping outside the cabinet."
On a lazy spring night, with the occasional sound of tiles, the tenants only thought it was a cat. Wu Du first opened a window and looked in. A girl was playing the piano and a literati was listening to a song.
Qunfang Pavilion was originally the largest brothel in Xichuan. After Chen moved the capital, he also followed him to Jiangzhou. After some renovations, it became more luxurious. Now there are more than 20 private rooms on the second floor. Duan Ling also pushed open a door. Seeing that it was a fat-headed official, he hugged a little servant and kissed him.
Duan Ling couldn't help laughing, Wu Du waved his hand hurriedly, motioning not to look, he opened a window and motioned Duan Ling to open another one.
Every window is like a world, and life is full of all kinds of expressions. Duan Ling approached one of the windows, his face flushed immediately, and he saw a slender, fair-muscled man hugging a boy, lifting the boy's legs, and the two were having sex while facing the mirror. It was clearly reflected everywhere, the jade pestle pounded the flower juice, and the white liquid splashed everywhere. The young man was clearly enjoying himself very much, his chest and even his neck were flushed, and he couldn't stop gasping for breath.
Duan Ling almost called out, and hurriedly bowed to hide under the eaves of the window. Wu Du thought Duan Ling had found something, so he came over to take a look, his face flushed immediately, he hurriedly closed the window, grabbed Duan Ling's hand and left.
Duan Ling's mind was full of that image. He stumbled under his feet and almost slipped off the tile. Wu Du grabbed Duan Ling's waist.
"Be careful." Wu Du hurriedly said.
"That..." Duan Ling calmed down and felt that the thing in his trousers was pressing against him, so he moved away a little, his heart beating wildly.
"This way."
"Oh yes." Wu Du opened another window and motioned for Duan Ling to wait outside.
There was a person lying on the bed, and Duan Ling knew it was Muqing at a glance. How could anyone sleep in Qunfang Pavilion at this point? He followed Wu Du into the room, lifted the quilt, and at first sight, it was indeed Hardan Bart | Er and Mu Qing lying side by side.
Muqing slept soundly and was unharmed. I don't know if Amugu was afraid of Wu Du's revenge, or because of his good nature, he didn't torture Muqing.
"Save it?" Duan Ling said in his heart, for the sake of not moving Muqing, but he didn't want to embarrass Hardanbat|er.
"There is no antidote if you want to save it." Wu Du said, "It's all left to Zheng Yan."
Duan Ling whistled towards the outside, meaning that he had found it and asked Changliu-Jun to pick him up. Immediately afterwards, Lord Changliu turned up a few steps. Seeing that Muqing was motionless, he was almost scared to death. Among the people who were busy pinching Muqing, they brought tea and poured it into Muqing's lips.
"Come and see, what's going on?" said Changliujun.
Duan Ling said, "It's okay, I just passed out."
After a while, Mu Qing really woke up, let out a breath, and said, "Hey? Lord Changliu?"
Everyone: "… "
"Wang Shan? Wu Du?" Mu Qing looked around and said, "Where is this? Qunfang Pavilion? Why did you come so early?"
Duan Ling was completely convinced, a group of people worried about him for half the night, and Mu Qing was still dreaming. Lord Changliu asked Wu Du to carefully check whether Muqing was poisoned, and finally he couldn't help but pick him up and take him away.
"I can go by myself!" Mu Qing struggled, "Go to the bar next door? Wait a minute! I'm still… "
Wu Du and Duan Ling supported their foreheads, and Lord Changliu said angrily, "You scared me to death! What kind of wine are you drinking! Let's go! Go home and stand together!"
"Go through the door! What are you jumping out of the window for?"
Duan Ling couldn't help laughing, so he still covered the quilt for Hardanbat|Er, and left the room with Wu Du. Whether Hardanbat|Er is dead or alive depends on Amugu's ability.
"How did you do in the test?" At this moment, when Wu Du arrived, Fang You had the time to talk to Duan Ling.
"It's okay." Duan Ling said with a smile, "From now on, I will be lighter."
Ten years of cold windows have ended today. If there is a palace examination next, it should be an official. If there is no palace examination, I will have to find another way out.
Wu Du asked, "What do you want me to promise you?"
The two walked out of the room, the lights were bright and bright, the Qunfang Pavilion Yingying Yanyan, the music everywhere. Duan Ling's face was slightly red, thinking of his thoughts in the morning, and suddenly thinking of the scene he saw when he opened the window, and immediately blushed to the base of his neck.
"No... nothing, go home." Duan Ling was about to turn around, but Wu Du stopped him.
"Let's go." Wu Du smiled, "Drink."
"This..." Duan Ling licked his lower lip. Wu Du hadn't had a drink yet, but his face turned slightly red. He turned his head to look at a few rooms next to him, and said, "There should be room."
Duan Ling's heart was pounding, and Wu Du motioned for him to wait here, and went downstairs to find the prostitute to book a private room on the second floor. Duan Ling thought that this is not good! Could it be that... How did Wu Du know what was on his mind
"There's no room on the second floor!" Wu Du asked the prostitute, raised his head and shouted upstairs, "Come down."
Duan Ling blushed and walked down quickly. The girls who went upstairs all looked at him, and some people stretched out their hands to pull him. Duan Ling hurriedly raised his hand to block, and fled in extreme embarrassment. A Gui Gong came, led Duan Ling and Wu Du into the room, and asked, "One for each of the two masters? Or what?"
"Listen to Qu'er." Wu Du said, "Pull the screen and just listen to the pipa playing outside. There is no need to arrange the rest. I will have some snacks to eat. I haven't had dinner yet."
Duan Ling thought of the Qionghua Courtyard in Shangjing, and it seemed to be the same. Duke Gui swept the couch for the two of them, moved over the screen, served wine and food, and didn't call the girl over to accompany the wine. Duan Ling only felt that he felt much more at ease.
Wu Du sniffed the jug and said to Duke Gui: "Change the jug to a clean one."
"One tael of silver and a pot." Duke Turtle replied, "Master, only cash is accepted for wine exchange."
Wu Du looked at Duke Gui and said nothing.
Duan Ling pulled Wu Du's sleeve, only to find it funny. Deterred by Wu Du's murderous eyes, Duke Gui picked up the jug and left. He couldn't help but murmured in his heart and went to change the wine.
"Shame on you." Wu Du scoffed.
Duan Ling: "..."
The two sat opposite each other, and the sound of the pipa gradually subsided outside. Duan Ling probed outside the screen to see how beautiful it was. Seeing Duan Ling Junxiu, the pipa girl smiled, winked at him, and put away her pipa.
Wu Du: "..."
Duan Ling said, "This is the first time I came to Qunfang Pavilion to sit in the hall, and it was quite interesting."
Wu Du said, "Come here, don't probe your head."
Duan Ling had to go back to Wu Du and sit side by side with him. After a while, the wine was changed, and some common stir-fries and snacks were served. Duan Ling only ate a little cold rice at noon and was not full for a day. Wu Du said, "Let's eat," and Duan Ling started to eat.
Wu Du did not move his chopsticks and waited for him to eat. Duan Ling thought that Zheng Yan and Lang Junxia didn't know what to do anymore. They were blowing wind by the riverside in the dark, and there was a poisoned Yuan Ren lying on the second floor.
"Why don't you eat?" Duan Ling saw Wu Du's chopsticks, so he picked up the cup and said, "Come on, I'll give you a toast."
Wu Du could not laugh or cry. Seeing that Duan Ling was busy eating and was too hungry, he and Wu Du each raised a glass, drank the warm wine, and started eating again. After a while, he was thirsty, so he opened the lid of the jug and drank from the mouth of the jug.
"Are you going to see Zheng Yan and the others?" Duan Lingjiu finally said when he was full.
"It's their business." Wu Du said, "Drinking?"
"Don't drink anymore." Duan Ling let out a long breath and said, "If you drink again, you will be drunk."
"I'll carry you back when I'm drunk." Wu Du said, "It's okay. On your birthday, I wanted to take you out for a drink. After all, if you're an adult, and you take the test, you'll naturally come out to play."
Duan Ling got a little drunk and leaned into Wu Du's arms.
Wu Du was a little uneasy, he turned sideways and raised his arms, and finally hugged Duan Ling.
"Hey." Duan Ling said to Wu Du, "Wu Du, let's go upstairs."
"Upstairs?" Wu Du thought for a moment, and immediately understood what Duan Ling meant, his face flushed, and he said, "Upstairs, upstairs... there is no seat, or, go home?"
Duan Ling took Wu Du's arm and leaned his face on his shoulder. After a while, he looked up at him with drunken eyes and opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
The figures outside shook, and the lights shone through the screen, casting colorful lights on the two of them, and the pipa sounded.
"Weicheng is wandering in the rain
"Master, please."
"I actually moved here." Cai Yan's voice said, "Where's the shepherd's boy?"
"Should have come earlier." The man's voice replied, "Master, please sit first."
Cai Yan and a scholar turned around the screen, Duan Ling was drunk, Wu Duyi was defenseless, the four of them looked at each other, Cai Yan was surprised: "Wu Qing?"
Wu Du's smile faded, and he even forgot to stand up to greet him. Cai Yan sat on the other low couch with a smile, and said to himself, "Muqing asked me to come over tonight, saying that there is a very good friend who wants me to meet, but I didn't expect..."
Having said this, Cai Yanfang regained his senses and looked at Duan Ling.
"...It's you." Cai Yan's face instantly turned pale, and he muttered.
"It's me." Duan Ling was half sober, sat cross-legged, raised the jug, poured a glass of wine, and said, "Your Highness, I'll give you a toast."
Cai Yan and Duan Ling sat quietly opposite each other, the pipa sound of "ding ding dong dong" came from outside the screen, and the pipa mother sang softly:
"I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and there is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west..."
