The city wall of Dongdu is only less than a foot shorter than that of Daxing, but its magnificence from a distance is not inferior to that of Daxing.
Standing in front of the moat, Bai Yi looked up at the tall city wall and sighed: "It's my first time in Dongdu, and it's even more lively than Daxing."
Li Taiping glanced back at the bustling Waiguo City and couldn't help but nodded: "Wang Zhong is awesome. Everyone is laughing, how can this city not be lively?"
Going into the city to conduct an interrogation is much less complicated than Daxing City. As long as the person is wearing a bright light, there won't be too many inquiries. Even if the two of them are martial artists at first glance, they won't pay too much attention to them.
The streets in the city are not as wide as those in Daxing City. Pedestrians are crowded with each other, but they are more lively.
"Son, please buy a flower for my sister. White clothes with red flowers are so beautiful..."
"Sir, please buy a candy man for your sister. It will be very sweet..."
The green shirt and the white shirt looked like they had plenty of money, and the kids who were just eating on the street immediately crowded around them.
Li Taiping smiled, took out a dozen copper coins from his arms, and squatted down. After a while, the copper coins disappeared, but there were many things in his arms that he didn't need at all.
"Look at how happy they are laughing. Even a penny would cost them a whole day to laugh. Sometimes happiness is just that simple."
Dugu Qingqing also smiled: "These are all bought for me."
Li Taiping nodded, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard someone shouting.
"Get out of here, get out of here. You little bastards, you cheat on food and drink every day, and you actually cheated the fairy."
A richly dressed young man led a group of thugs, dispersed the children, and appeared in front of Dugu Qingqing.
"The fairy is frightened. It's because Xiaosheng came too late. The fairy is from out of town at first glance. It's easy to be deceived if you are not familiar with the place. It's better for Xiaosheng to be the flower protector and protect the fairy..."
The handsome man's words stopped as Li Taiping stood up.
"Isn't this the third young master of the Wang family? Why don't you pick the flowers now and protect them instead?"
Wang Danren had just focused all his attention on Dugu Qingqing and did not notice Li Taiping. When he saw him at this time, his calves couldn't help but twist and he couldn't run even if he wanted to.
"You, you, aren't you dead?"
Li Taiping took a step forward and said with a smile: "Touch it and see if it's warm."
Since he was not a dead person, Wang Shanren was not so afraid. It was broad daylight and it was on the street. He didn't believe that Li Taiping dared to grab Wang Shanren and beat him.
Wang Danren gritted his teeth, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the fairy, and he also wanted to get close to the fairy. He couldn't help but puff up his chest and said: "Da Lang hasn't been to Dongdu for a long time. There are so many people scavenging on the streets now. Why don't you accompany me as a brother?"
Saves you a lot of trouble.”
Li Taiping turned around and glanced at Dugu Qingqing. When he saw that Dugu Qingqing was not looking at Wang Shanren, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you for your kindness. Third Young Master, go and get busy."
Wang Shanren turned his head and looked at Li Taiping who was walking in vain. His mind turned and he hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother Taiping, wait for me..."
Wang Shanren is considered the biggest dandy in the eastern capital city, and no one can match his shamelessness.
He stalked and flattered me, even picked up nice things to say, even belittling himself, just to increase his sense of presence again and again.
Wang Shanren accompanied Li Taiping and the others to the gate of the palace. The woman in white never smiled once, didn't even say a word, and never looked at him.
Wang Danren went through this shameless journey to the end, just for one thing. But now he knows that even if Li Taiping is not dead, he is probably a useless person. Since he is a useless person, there is nothing to be afraid of.
A cripple should not be surrounded by beauties, let alone fairies. If they are, it is a sin, and if they are guilty, they must be punished. As for punishing people, Wang Shanren has many ways.
Wang Danren has never lacked sexual courage, and he is still the kind of person who is extremely sexually courageous. Just seeing that he still dares to pursue Cuihua's idea now, we can know that this man is willing to give up his life for the sake of women.
Wang Shanren walked around twice in front of the palace gate before turning around. He still had money in his hand, so he wouldn't be afraid of not being able to get things done if he had money.
In the palace, Chen Buwen's eyes were red. He took Li Taiping's hand, looked at Jian Xilai and said, "Qiu, we don't have the ability to retaliate now. The matter of Zhujian Mountain must be taken care of by Taiping."
Jian Xilai looked at Li Taiping without saying a word until he saw Li Taiping with goosebumps all over the floor, then he said, "Why are you still carrying the sword case?"
"Habits, habits are hard to change."
Jian Xilai frowned and said, "Really..."
Before he finished speaking, the sword was drawn out.
A flash of cold light suddenly makes people unable to open their eyes.
This sword showed no mercy or even mercy. Li Taiping would die if he couldn't avoid it.
"when!"
He slashed his throat with a sword, but was blocked by a long sword. He saw a cold face in white clothes, standing in front of Li Taiping.
"If you want to kill him, you have to get through me first."
Jian Xilai sheathed his sword and said without any emotion: "You can't guard him forever, so next time you draw your sword, he will die without showing his hand."
Li Taiping jumped out, pointed at Jian Xilai's nose and shouted: "You are still not a human being, your brothers have become ordinary people, and you are still adding insult to injury."
Jian Xilai didn't bother to look at Li Taiping, but said coldly: "From the day I met you, you have been hiding and tucking me away. I don't like it very much."
"Since you are an ordinary person, you still have to carry a sword case. You never do anything thankless. Your habits can only be used to fool others, but it will not work with me."
Li Taiping was speechless. Even ten cows couldn't pull back what the wooden man was sure about. He must be more careful in the future, otherwise he would die without knowing how.
Chen Buwen looked at Jian Xilai, took Li Taiping's hand again, and checked it over and over again.
"Taiping cannot fool me. I have really lost all my martial arts skills. I'm afraid I will never be able to practice again in this life..."
As he said that, Chen Buwen's eyes turned red again.
Fortunately, Cuihua came at the right time, and she saluted and said: "Princess, my benefactor, the prince has arrived at Quxi Tower..."
Li Taiping looked at Cuihua, but Cuihua was too shy to raise her head.
Some things don't need to be said clearly, but Li Taiping said with a smile: "Now that your destiny has changed, you must grasp it well and don't let it slip through your fingers."
Cuihua saluted again and hesitated: "My benefactor, I..."
Li Taiping supported Cuihua and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite. From now on, you have to straighten your back and show the magnanimity of a maid in the palace."
Cuihua nodded in agreement, but she would not forget her kindness in her heart. From death to life, to wealth and wealth, all of this was given by her benefactor. Without her benefactor, she would have drowned in the ditch.
At Quxi Tower, Dugu Qingqing saw the King Fu whom Li Taiping called Prince Fu, a very charming and dignified middle-aged man. But he did not see Roshan.
Dugu Qingqing turned to look at Li Taiping, only to see Li Taiping speechless and stunned on the spot.
Prince Fu stood up and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, you don't know me anymore."
"Your Majesty, this is you."
"It's just back to the way it used to be. No need to worry. But after losing weight, my waist has become much straighter."
With that said, King Fu stepped forward and took Li Taiping to his seat: "Everything in the world is unpredictable and fate is unpredictable, but so what, a man must stand up straight and live."
Li Taiping smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can eat and drink."
"That's good, that's good. Come on, take a seat quickly and don't even stand."
After everyone took their seats, King Fu took a look at Dugu Qingqing.
"My dear niece, I have heard about her for a long time, but when I saw her today, I realized that the rumors were true. It is true that she is a dragon and a phoenix among people."
Although King Fu has lost weight, he is still bold and forthright, and he has become a family member with just a few words. However, the table full of dishes has shrunk a lot like King Fu's body.
Prince Fu smiled bitterly and said, "The common people are having a hard time, and so is my prince. I only have wine and vegetables, and I hope that Taiping and Xian's niece won't take the blame."
Li Taiping and Dugu Qingqing smiled at each other and praised King Fu for his thrifty life.
The moon climbed to the willow branches and reached the zenith of the sky, and the banquet at Quxi Tower ended with joy and laughter.
Not long after everyone left, Li Taiping returned to Quxi Tower. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw King Fu looking at him with a smile.
Small talk is what should be done at the wine table. Now we should get straight to the point and get to the point.
King Fu and Li Taiping chatted for a long time without reservation. From Nangong Jingzhi’s strong support, to the wholehearted support of the Wang family, to the loyalty expressed by the vassals from all over the country, King Fu showed all the power he could bring to the table.
In front of Li Taiping.
After saying so much, King Fu did not ask Li Taiping what he thought, but instead talked about a long-standing past event.
More than 20 years ago, Li Guotai became famous and rose steadily. He was so famous that he made countless women sleepless in their boudoirs.
Li Guotai's talent, appearance, and person attracted the attention of countless young girls, and his suitors even lined up from Daxing City to Dongdu. There were so many beauties, but Li Guotai could not see any of them, until that woman appeared.
There was a daughter in the Zhou family who had just grown up and was raised in a boudoir without anyone knowing her. But during a chance visit, Li Guotai took that woman into his heart...
A talented man and a beautiful woman should be a good match. On Li Guotai's wedding, the Holy Emperor personally came to congratulate him. One look at the beautiful woman, Emperor Hongdao, who was in his prime, became interested.
The one who can't get it is the one who loves the most. It wasn't until the Li Guotai case happened that Emperor Hongdao knew that there was a secret, but still chose not to hear it. Only then did the blood-splattered case shock the world.
Speaking of this, King Fu looked at Li Taiping who was full of astonishment and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't Wen Yuan tell you?"
Seeing Li Taiping shaking his head, King Fu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Wen Yuan didn't say anything about my friendship with your father."
"He blames me for not rescuing your father back then."
"Son, don't blame your uncle for being ruthless. If I speak out at that time, I'm afraid your father will have no chance to survive, and I will also be given a three-foot white silk ribbon."
"Only by colluding with the feudal lord can we have the confidence to rebel. Do you think I can take the lead? As long as I open my mouth, I'm afraid there won't even be a trial, and Cathay will have to move its head."
Li Taiping remained silent. He knew that what King Fu said was true and there was no reason to blame him.
But I heard King Fu speak again: "My uncle didn't say this to make you stand on my uncle's side. He just wanted to tell you about the dusty past in Daxing City that no one dares to mention."
"The past is like smoke and clouds dispersed by the wind, but Wen Yuan can't forget it, and neither can I, the prince."
With that said, King Fu stood up, opened the window, looked at the bright moon above his head and said: "I am going to fight, not only for myself, but also for the millions of people, and also so that Cathay Pacific can one day be redressed..."
