Zhou Hanbei took Li Xinlan back to the room and cleaned up each other. Naturally, one person slept on the bed and the other slept on the floor.
Zhou Hanbei watched for a while, calmed down, sat down and started practicing. Li Xinlan just looked at Zhou Hanbei quietly, looking at his resolute face, thinking about everything that happened before, with a faint smile
appear on the face.
Early the next morning, Zhou Hanbei woke up first and looked at Li Xinlan who was still sleeping soundly. He did not disturb her, but quietly thought about today's itinerary. He had no idea where to go.
"Well..." A lazy voice came from Li Xinlan's mouth, she stretched a long way, opened her eyes, and saw Zhou Hanbei not far away looking at her with a smile, she couldn't help but blush, and pulled
The quilt covers his face.
"Haha, why are you still shy?" Zhou Hanbei joked. "Did you sleep well? Okay, get up and clean up quickly." He sat on the edge of the bed and patted the quilt and called.
"Well, I slept well." Li Xinlan said with her eyes exposed. After sitting on the bed for a while, "Brother Hanbei, please pull me up." She stretched out her hands and waited for Zhou Hanbei to pull me up.
Zhou Hanbei shook his head and pulled Li Xinlan up. The two smiled at each other and went to wash up. After cleaning up, they went downstairs to have something to eat and then went out.
On a certain street in the capital of Han Dynasty, Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan were walking aimlessly. At least the security was very good. Just kidding, who dares to mess around under the feet of the emperor in Wangcheng? Of course, it is hard to say what they are doing behind the scenes.
At this moment, Zhou Hanbei felt as if someone was staring at him. He turned his head and looked back. He looked around and found nothing unusual.
"What's wrong, Brother Defianbei?" Li Xinlan asked.
Zhou Hanbei turned back, shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's go." After saying that, he took Li Xinlan and walked forward.
Around the corner, a figure emerged, "Why is he here? Was the reaction just now because of him?" The figure murmured, touching his chest, and gradually disappeared.
With that said, the two came to a teahouse, which was bustling with people. Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan found a quite quiet place to sit down, and served a pot of good tea and some snacks and fruits. They looked around.
When we got up, there were thirty or forty tables in the entire hall, surrounding a stand in the middle. There must also be a lot of private seats upstairs, specially set up for dignitaries.
At this time, the seats were almost full. If the two of them hadn't arrived early and by chance, they might not even have a seat.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"That's right, how long has this been going on?"
"Old man Qi, come out quickly"
There was chattering and shouting everywhere, as if they were waiting for someone to come.
At this time, a group of guards escorted a man in Tsing Yi with walnuts in his hands, who walked in. The man looked to be in his twenties and was suave. The so-called stranger is like jade, and the young man is unparalleled. This is how he should be described.
man.
"Isn't Mr. Qi here yet?" Young Master asked the people around him.
"We should be here in a moment. Young Master, please go upstairs first. There are many people here." said the guard on the side.
The young master nodded and was surrounded by people walking towards the private room upstairs.
There were noisy sounds all around, but it was not affected by the arrival of the young master. Everyone was used to it.
"Hahaha, everyone has been waiting for a long time. I'm late, old man." A smiling old man, holding a cattail leaf fan in hand and a mustache, walked up to the middle stand with fists clasped, and kept apologizing to everyone.
"Old man Qi, you are late."
"Hey, he did it on purpose."
"This old man is after money. He's waiting for a big client."
"That's right, I came out when I saw Mr. Liu coming."
People around him were joking about the old man and kept joking.
Old Man Qi's face turned red, he blew his beard and glared, "Go, go, go, you are talking nonsense every day."
"Start quickly and stop inking."
A group of people cheered.
Old Man Qi sat down, cleared his throat, and slapped his hand on the table in front of him. When he saw that everyone was quiet, he said, "I'll receive the reply. By the way, that day..."
It turns out that the old man is a storyteller. He has been telling stories in the capital of Han Dynasty for a long time and has accumulated a lot of popularity. Many people like his storytelling style, which is very vivid.
Speaking of the wonderful parts, there were constant waves of applause, and even Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan listened with gusto. Although some parts were fictitious, it did not hinder his brilliance and the audience's love for him.
"If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the explanation next time." Old Man Qi took a photo of Su Xingwo and ended the story telling.
"My dear readers, I am quite satisfied today." Old Man Qi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Can't you just talk a little longer."
"Damn, I always stop at the exciting point."
"I won't come here in the future, and I won't talk about it at critical times."
"Come on, every time you said that, you didn't end up in a hurry."
Everyone was still cursing and cursing.
"Mr. Qi, my young master has received a reward, please go upstairs and tell us about it." The previous guard of Mr. Liu called from upstairs.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment and let me clean up." The old man replied with a smile.
After a while, the old man came upstairs and said, "Qi Dongqiang, a common man, has met the third prince." Old man Qi cupped his fists and bowed.
"Mr. Qi has come to see you. No need to be polite, please get up quickly." The third prince helped him helplessly. "This is a reward for you." After saying that, he opened the red cloth on the plate, and there was a golden piece, which was a hundred taels of gold.
There is also an elixir in the box next to it. "It took me a long time to find this seven-star grass. I would like to ask Mr. Qi to accept it."
A glint flashed in Qi Dongqiang's eyes, and he disappeared. No one noticed anything unusual. "Oh, how can I keep this? It's too precious. Please take it back, Your Highness." Qi Dongqiang waved his hand quickly.
The third prince ignored him and continued with the walnuts in his hand, "I wonder how you have considered the matter that you told Mr. Qi before about entering my residence?"
"Oh, old man, I am just a mortal. Thank you for your favor, Your Highness." Qi Dongqiang said with an embarrassed look, "I'm used to being lazy, and I'm afraid that I'll break the rules of the house and get no reward for my merits. Your Highness, the old man is here to give me some advice."
You apologized."
Bowed again, raised his head and smiled, picked up a gold ingot and went downstairs without touching anything else. Although he wanted that elixir very much, he always felt that the third prince seemed to know something, and this
People are scheming and profit comes first.
"Your Highness, we have invited him many times but he has refused. He is really very capable as you said. I think he is just an ordinary person." said the guard at his side.
"You are not an ordinary person who can withstand this temptation. The more he refuses, the more I think he is the one." The third prince played with the walnuts in his hand.
"But I think he is not willing to accept the solicitation." The guard said again.
"Try a few more times, and if it still doesn't work, huh..." The third prince made a gesture of wiping his neck, "If he is not of use to me, then there is no need for him to live in this world." The third prince no longer looked polite to others.
, said with cold eyes.
Downstairs, Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan were still discussing the story they had just told. They argued endlessly. After drinking tea, they were about to get up and leave. Big cities were different, everywhere was bustling.
When he walked to the door, he saw the three princes and a group of people coming down from upstairs. Zhou Hanbei took one look and pulled Li Xinlan out. However, he accidentally bumped into someone who came in. He nodded and said sorry and went out.
.
Then the third prince, who came downstairs, stretched out his hand and said, "Take out the things." The third prince held the man's wrist behind his back, and handed over the things that Zhou Hanbei had stolen with his other hand.
"Sir, I won't dare to do it next time, please spare me." The thief knelt down and begged for mercy. However, the third prince did not look at him, and a guard beside him dragged him away.
"Your Highness, this is..." the guard said.
"Haha, it's interesting. Weird things happen every year, but not so much this year. Our seventh brother has grown up." The third prince turned over the jade pendant in his hand, "Go and call that person back." After that, he found a nearby one.
Sit down.
It turned out that what the third prince was holding was the jade pendant given to him by Liu Ziyou when Zhou Hanbei left Shushan. Unexpectedly, senior brother Liu was actually the seventh prince of the Han Dynasty.
After a while, Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan were invited back again, with questions on their faces. He was unfamiliar with this place. How could anyone come to him? He looked at the third prince. There was no interaction between the two, and he couldn't understand at all.
.
Looking at Zhou Hanbei's confused face, the third prince extended his hand and said, "Brother, please sit down." Zhou Hanbei and Li Xinlan looked at each other and sat down.
"What do you call this brother, Liu Zijian?" the third prince said.
"Brother Liu, just call me Zhou Hanbei." Zhou Hanbei said politely.
"Bold, this is my third prince..."
Zhou Hanbei exclaimed, "It turns out to be His Highness. I don't know, so don't be surprised."
"Hey, it doesn't matter, please step back and don't scare the guests." The third prince waved his hand for the guards to step back.
"I wonder what your Highness wants from me?" Zhou Hanbei asked.
The third prince put the jade pendant on the table and gently pushed it in front of Zhou Hanbei, "You just dropped this, I happened to pick it up." He looked at Zhou Hanbei, touched his body, picked up the jade pendant, and said again, "I don't know, son."
It's okay, Yuko, I didn't cause you any trouble."
"Hey, look at me, you don't know yet. Ziyou is my seventh brother." Liu Zijian said looking at Zhou Hanbei's confused expression.
"Oh, it turns out he's senior brother Ziyou's brother. Senior brother didn't cause us any trouble, but he always took care of us." Zhou Hanbei was shocked, it turned out that senior brother Ziyou had such a big background.
The third prince nodded, "Speaking of which, the seventh brother has been cultivating in Shushan since he was a child. He rarely comes back a few times a year, unlike us brothers and sisters. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make many friends. It's better now. I see him taking such an important step.
I gave you the jade pendant, I guess you are his very important friend." Liu Zijian said with a smile on his face.
"Senior brother has always been very kind to us. He knew that I was going out for training and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he gave me this jade pendant, saying that it might be useful." Zhou Hanbei responded.
"In that case, I would like to thank Your Highness for returning the jade pendant. If nothing happens, we will leave first." Zhou Hanbei clasped his fists and pulled Li Xinlan away.
The third prince nodded, made a gesture of invitation, bowed his head and said nothing... This chapter has been completed!
