Li Rong looked into Pei Wenxuan's eyes and listened to him asking both jokingly and earnestly. After a long time, she smiled lightly: "Lord Pei asked a strange question, how could I have not been sincere? A good-looking man, Ben Gong Ke has been sincere."
"Does Your Highness know what is sincerity?"
Pei Wenxuan then asked, Li Rong tapped the palm of his hand with a small fan, and only said, "What kind of sincerity does Lord Pei think it is?"
"Wei Chen thinks that the so-called sincerity is to put that person in his heart, trust him, love him, ask for nothing in return, and not be afraid of the future. Wholehearted and flawless. There is only one person in my life. His Highness said that he had a sincere heart, Then I don't know who your Highness gave it to?"
Hearing this, Li Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and she lowered her head, seeming to be amused.
Pei Wenxuan frowned: "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong raised her head and covered half of her face with a golden fan, her eyes full of teasing, "I didn't expect that at your age, you still have such a teenage dream."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan's face froze, then he put away his smile, turned around calmly, put his hand behind his head, and said lightly: "It's just that Your Highness has never thought about this before."
"Yes," Li Rong said with a smile, "Bengong doesn't have the leisure and elegance of Pei Xiang, I can't think of this. As expected of a person who has kept a relationship for a lifetime," Li Rong nodded, "Bengong admires such a pure heart. "
Hearing her mockery, Pei Wenxuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but felt that no matter whether it was an explanation or a refutation, it was a bit down on others, so he held it back for a long time, swallowed all the words, turned around, and said nothing. Talk again, pretend to fall asleep.
Seeing that he left his back to herself, Li Rong tapped the small fan and slowly restrained her smile.
Pei Wenxuan's relationship with her is very different. She has to be decisive about her relationship. It is always how much others give her. She can only give others less but not more. Between the two sides, there is only you and me. She is stingy about her feelings and has high requirements. She is afraid of giving, but she wants a wholehearted return.
Pei Wenxuan, on the other hand, is much more generous. As long as he is sure that he likes it, he can give everything to the other party. He can like Qin Zhenzhen for a lifetime. Even if the other party marries another person as his wife and the other party does not respond, he will Being able to keep this relationship silently and give wholeheartedly, even nearly twenty-seven years after Qin Zhenzhen's death, he can still protect that person like a jade to sacrifice the soul of the dead.
She made a decision with Pei Wenxuan back then. First, she herself could not tolerate any impurities in her relationship, and she gave her wrong intentions. Second, she also vaguely felt that Pei Wenxuan might not have no intention of her at all, but Pei Wenxuan, who promised to like Qin Zhenzhen first, could not tolerate her liking others.
They have their own stubbornness, but now that I think about it, this deep-rooted stubbornness has long been doomed. Even without Qin Zhenzhen, the two of them would never be together.
Her sincerity is too small, even if she holds everything she has to Pei Wenxuan, it will always be an unjust feeling for Pei Wenxuan, even if Pei Wenxuan accepts it, it is difficult for her to balance herself.
She and Su Rongqing are different. Su Rongqing and she are more similar people. They were born in the family of Zhong Ding, and their sincerity is rare in the world. Before them, they had power, family, life and death, and they were able to support them in the middle. A little sincerity, that's all. Li Rong doesn't need to give her how much, but if she can give her everything she has, that's enough.
So even though she knew that Su Rongqing might kill her, and knew that Su Rongqing might have calculated hatred for her, she never resented, because Su Rongqing gave her all the sincerity she could give to her alone.
And even if Pei Wenxuan didn't do anything to her in the last life, he never really betrayed her, but in matters of love, she always felt that Pei Wenxuan was inferior.
The carriage swayed, Li Rong closed her eyes and squinted for a while, and after a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a secret guard lifted the curtain and jumped onto the carriage, whispering, "Your Highness, the post is here."
With that said, the dark guard handed over the post and the documents detailing the identities of the two men, and at the same time he put on his clothes, explaining: "It was from the prince's side, saying that it was a wealthy businessman and a couple from Yangzhou who sold silk. , there shouldn't be many people who know it."
"Okay." Li Rong flipped through the invitation. After confirming her name, she nodded and said, "Let's go down."
"His Royal Highness," the dark guard said after hesitating for a moment, "Tuobayan's relationship network is extremely complicated. I am afraid that his house is not very safe. His Highness really wants to take risks..."
"It doesn't matter." Li Rong said calmly, "I brought a signal flare. If something happens, you can just surround the mansion."
Seeing that Li Rong was determined, the dark guard went down. Pei Wenxuan was still asleep next to him, and Li Rong banged on him with a fan and forced him to go out: "I'll change, you go out."
Pei Wenxuan opened his eyes in a daze. He seemed to have fallen asleep just now, but he was suddenly woken up, not quite awake. Seeing his appearance, Li Rong couldn't help but smile.
When he was young, he liked to stay in bed, and when he first got married, it was difficult to wake him up every morning and ask him to go to court.
Li Rong shook the small fan gently and said gently, "Why, after so many years, Mr. Pei's temperament of staying in bed hasn't changed?"
Hearing Li Rong's question, Pei Wenxuan woke up a bit. He rolled over and sat up, shook his head, and then rolled up the curtains conveniently, "You can call me instead."
Then jump out of the carriage.
Li Rong changed her clothes, got out of the carriage, and saw a merchant's carriage prepared by the attendant.
This carriage was not more luxurious and spacious than Li Rong's carriage, and many regulations were also based on the identity of a businessman. After Li Rong got into the carriage, after waiting for a while, she saw Pei Wenxuan come up.
The two sat in the carriage, and Li Rong held the document that wrote the life of the couple and Pei Wenxuan matched it for a while, and then Pei Wenxuan said, "When we arrive at the other courtyard, what should we do?"
"Tuobayan's secret room is built in the backyard. After entering, you should approach Tuobayan first and try to get him to lead us into the backyard. I borrowed Gong's name to go around the secret room, and after I got the ledger, we will leave."
"How can I ask him to lead us into the backyard?" Pei Wenxuan frowned, and Li Rong gave him a white look, "I think to myself."
The two were talking, and the carriage arrived at Tuoba Yan's other courtyard.
This yard is built on the outskirts of Huajing, backed by mountains and rivers, and has a huge scale.
When the two got off the carriage, they saw people coming and going around. Although it was late at night, it was extremely prosperous. Just at the door, the sound of silk bamboo and wind music was accustomed to ringing.
Li Rong followed Pei Wenxuan, the two took the post, led the servant pretending to be the secret guard, and walked forward. After the doorman checked the post, they were led into the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the other courtyard, I saw a lot of people around, with accents and clothing from different countries passing through. There were Persian dancers coming and going around, and even many women from Daxia were wearing Persian dancer clothes to accompany people on the promenade.
In such a sensual place, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan walked upright and upright, and they seemed to be a little out of place.
Among this group of businessmen, Pei Wenxuan looked too upright and handsome, and with a beautiful and moving Li Rong behind him, he attracted a lot of attention.
Pei Wenxuan sensed something was wrong, and was about to do something when he felt Li Rong stretch out her hand and pull her over. She leaned on him and said, "You're walking so fast, others can't keep up."
Pei Wenxuan's body froze slightly, but he reacted immediately. He smiled softly and seemed to dote on: "Madam is right, it's my husband's fault."
The two of them laughed together, and immediately merged with the surroundings. Although Pei Wenxuan was out of tune with this environment, Li Rong was charming and charming, and Pei Wenxuan's slightly gentle expression cooperated, just like a gentle businessman who brought his wife here, not so attractive. After all, except for businessmen, few of the noble families would marry such a disgraceful woman.
The attendant led the two of them into the room, and as soon as they entered, they heard someone laughing. Li Rong looked up and saw a man with thick eyebrows and a beard sitting above him, hugging a dancer who was very close to the others. Laughing and talking, the two of them were led by their attendants and said to Tuoba Yan, "Master, this is Master Wang and his wife from Yangzhou Wang's Silk and Satin Village."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong saluted Tuoba Yan and said respectfully, "Liu Ye."
Tuoba Yan's family ranked sixth, because the name was a foreign surname, it was inconvenient for Da Xia to address him, so he was called Liu Ye. Tuoba Yan looked the two up and down, her eyes stayed on Li Rong for a while, and then she smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I didn't expect you and your younger brother and sister to be so young, I thought you were a bad old man, come, sit down ."
Saying that, Tuoba Yan pointed to the next position, and people were full of wine and said, "Come, have a drink."
The Rong people were good at wine, but Pei Wenxuan didn't refuse, and immediately drank a cup. Seeing Pei Wenxuan's boldness, Tuoba Yan brightened his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Wang, looking at Wen Ya, is actually a man. Come, brother, drink with you. Have a drink."
Pei Wenxuan won Tuoba Yan's favor, and he immediately chatted with Tuoba Yan. The two chatted while drinking. This person, Pei Wenxuan, can kill his popularity when he ignores people. He always thinks that he is an uninteresting person, but if he wants to get close to someone deliberately, he has a lot of knowledge, but there is nothing he can't answer.
The two hit it off at first sight. Pei Wenxuan kept drinking, Li Rong poured wine for the two, and after a few searches, Tuobayan and Pei Wen declared that they were brothers. Seeing that the timing was about right, Li Rong gave Pei Wenxuan a wink. Pei Wenxuan received Li Rong's gaze, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to chat with Tuoba Yandao with a smile, but as he talked, the topic came to flowers and plants. superior.
"Little brother likes flowers and plants, especially peonies. In the past, I bought a few Wei Zi plants with a lot of money and kept them in the courtyard. When they are in full bloom, the country is beautiful and fragrant. I wonder what my brother likes?"
Among merchants, rare treasures are often talked about. Antiques, paintings, flowers, plants and rare birds, merchants who have some money should collect some, not to mention giants like Tuoba Yan? Listening to Pei Wenxuan's jacquard, Tuoba Yan laughed loudly: "My little brother has never seen a good peony, what is Wei Zi? Come on," Tuoba Yan stood up, "Let my brother take you to the courtyard to have a look, let me Look, what is the real blooming season that moves the capital."
"What's your brother's treasure?" Pei Wenxuan laughed. "Although my younger brother is not as rich as his elder brother, he has seen countless flowers and plants. If my elder brother said it so well, I am afraid that he was not deceived by others, right?"
"I don't know!" Tuoba Yan was a little dissatisfied when he heard Pei Wenxuan's words. He grabbed Pei Wenxuan and said, "Come, come with me and see if I lied to you."
"Brother, slow down," Pei Wenxuan was pulled by Tuoba Yan, and turned to look at Li Rong, "Madam, follow up, brother, don't worry, just slow down."
Pei Wenxuan followed Tuoba Yan while walking, Li Rong got up with a smile, and said to the maid next to him, "Master Liu is really in a hurry."
The maid smiled and said softly, "Master is used to doing this."
Saying that, Li Rong led the people to the backyard with Pei Wenxuan and Tuoba Yan.
Li Rong entered the courtyard and quickly glanced at the courtyard. The courtyard was exactly what she remembered, and there was not much change. Back then, she checked Tuobayan, but she turned over the courtyard inch by inch, and she was very familiar with it. . Seeing that there seemed to be some people in the courtyard, she couldn't help but ask, "Are there still people in the backyard?"
"There are a lot of drunk people at the banquet," the maid smiled. "If the master is a friend, he will be led to the backyard to rest."
Li Rong nodded her head, thinking about the route, she slowed down her pace, and after a while, she looked embarrassed, and the maid next to her saw her complexion changed, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is Madam a hindrance?"
"I want to come out, but I don't know where..."
Seeing Li Rong asking, the maid hurriedly said, "Madam, please come with me."
Li Rong nodded, turned her head to instruct others, and said with the attendant behind her: "Anxiang can just follow me, and the rest of you can follow the master."
The other three took orders, and left a waitress, Anxiang, to follow Li Rong. The two followed the maid to the East Division. Li Rong calculated the distance from the rockery while walking, and reached the most suitable position. Rong gave Anxiang a wink, Anxiang raised her left and right knives, and knocked out the two maids walking in front.
Li Rong and Anxiang dragged the maids to a dark place, quickly changed into their clothes, and then went straight to the rockery.
After walking to the rockery, Li Rong entered the cave and groped away according to her memory. Then she stepped on an empty space. Li Rong squatted down, pressed a button next to it, and then said with Anxiang, "Sword."
Anxiang handed the sword to Li Rong, Li Rong inserted the sword into the ground and pried it open, then pulled open an iron plate, under the iron plate was a staircase, Anxiang pulled the kendo: "My subordinates go down first."
Saying that, Anxiang dexterously jumped down, and then heard a few muffled noises from below, Anxiang said: "Your Highness, it's alright."
Li Rong responded and walked down.
Below is a dungeon. The guards have been knocked unconscious to the ground. Li Rong ignored the people who were imprisoned inside, and went straight to the side door. There was a rotating button on the side door. The button was in Persian. Xiang Yang raised his chin and said, "Go and bring me the token on the guard."
Anxiang responded and went to get the token from the guard.
The door here needs a secret language, and the secret language is the Persian language of the names of the guards every day. Li Rong got the names of the guards, and after translating them into Persian, she twisted it to the Persian beside it, and then the door opened wide.
After the door opened, it was a very small room with bookshelves on all sides and booklets on the top.
Tuoba Yan placed these accounts regularly. Li Rong, according to what she knew about Tuoba Yan in her memory, quickly found the Yang family's accounts. She took out the accounts and searched for a while, and was sure it was After the Yang family accounts, he put them in his sleeve and said, "Let's go."
Anxiang responded, Li Rong closed the door, and then turned back to the rockery. Not long after the two walked out of the rockery, they heard a voice from behind: "The two maids are in front, grab them!"
Hearing this, Li Rong knew that the two maids should have been exposed, and she instructed Anxiang: "Let's go separately."
Then she rushed in the direction of the guest room, Anxiang stayed behind, stopped those people a little, and rushed to the other direction.
Li Rong rushed to the promenade and ran all the way, anxiously wanting to rush to the front yard and then get out and leave. The sound of chasing soldiers from the rear gradually sounded, her heart beat faster, and when she heard those people chasing from behind, she hurriedly turned around. She was running forward in the corridor, and the door of the guest room next to her suddenly opened, and someone pulled her in and closed the door.
The man covered her mouth and put his arm around her waist, Li Rong leaned against him, and he leaned against the door.
Li Rong could clearly sense the person's temperature, and the familiar fragrance of the person lingered on the tip of her nose. She froze and didn't dare to move. Outside was the sound of chasing soldiers shouting and running by. The person lowered his head and attached to her ear, whispering softly. Said: "It's me, Your Highness."
