Countless literati spoke harshly to each other, but the young beggar remained unmoved and his shamelessness was staggering.
It seems that the people around are just flies.
"Hey, why don't you leave? Get out of here."
Suddenly, a thin middle-aged man walked out from the crowd. This middle-aged man had a pale face and a slightly frivolous step. He walked towards the young beggar, pretending to hit him, but the middle-aged man just showed his attitude of hitting, and the young beggar... All nine beggars behind him stood up.
These nine beggars were burly and tall, with chins and beards, and eyes that were so fierce that they scared the middle-aged man to the point where he stepped back and hid in the crowd, never daring to move forward again.
The young beggar looked at the middle-aged man with disdain and ignored him no more.
"Here, get the candles ready."
The young beggar waved his hand, and the nine beggars who were fierce just now immediately put on flattering smiles and said loudly: "Elder, don't worry, you will be fine soon." As he spoke, the nine beggars quickly came out of his arms. He took out a big red candle as thick as an arm, then took out the fire stick, lit it, and placed it firmly on the ground.
Not only that, these big red candles formed a red heart, which was very conspicuous in the night, especially when there were so many people outside Huaibi Tower, and the effect was enhanced by the heckling of these literati.
"Li Xiaotong, you are mine and you will be mine forever."
The young man was very courageous. He raised his head and shouted at Huaibi Tower.
Immediately, the young man waved his hand, and the beggar next to him came out with a Kongming lantern. On the Kongming lantern, he wrote small poems in vigorous and powerful fonts. As the Kongming lantern was lit, the young beggar lifted the Kongming lantern into the sky. However, When the Kongming Lantern was rising slowly, there was a rope tied underneath, which controlled the Kongming Lantern to float on the second floor of Huaibi Tower without rising or falling.
As the young beggar spoke, the literati and poets around him began to boo or sneer.
"Oh, I remembered, Li Xiaotong is the name of the Madam of Huaibi Tower."
"What, how is this possible?"
"This guy is really awesome. I heard that Li Xiaotong, the madam of Huaibi Tower, is only twenty-four or five years old, which is a good age. Although Li Xiaotong's appearance is not outstanding, his figure and knowledge are first-class. Countless people want him. He pursued Li Xiaotong but was rejected all the time. This beggar actually wants to capture Li Xiaotong. He who doesn’t know is fearless."
"Well, after hearing what you said, I began to sympathize with him. He must have died before he left the battlefield."
"It makes sense, it makes sense, the beggar is dead."
…
The literati and poets looked at the beggar with a half-smile, pointing, with a joking expression on their faces.
The young beggar raised his head and looked up at Huaibi Tower, with expectation in his eyes and deep affection on his face.
Although the young beggar's face was dirty, his dark eyes were so deep that it was intoxicating, and his thin and angular cheeks had a trace of vicissitudes.
This beggar is a man with a past.
On the second floor of Huaibi Tower, a slender figure appeared.
This woman put on light makeup, a touch of vermilion, and wore a black printed dress. She has a graceful figure, a height of 1.75 meters, and a delicate appearance. Her eyes are like those of a young beggar, they are shining and deep. Intoxicated, but in terms of appearance alone, compared to the geishas in Huaibi Tower, the woman outshone everyone.
This woman is Li Xiaotong, the old madam of Huaibi Tower.
Through the window, she looked at a sparkling red heart below Huaibi Tower, and then at an uncertain Kongming Lantern floating outside the window, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.
Immediately, a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
"The mirror is broken and cannot be repaired."
Li Xiaotong murmured softly, his eyes gradually became firm, and he shouted softly: "Here comes someone."
"Miss, do you have any orders to drive Wang Xiaoyang away?" Behind Li Xiaotong, a middle-aged man in his forties came up. His name was Li Lie, and he was Li Xiaotong's guard. The guard said directly After learning the name of the young beggar downstairs, he obviously knew the relationship between Li Xiaotong and Wang Xiaoyang.
The young beggar downstairs is named Wang Xiaoyang.
Li Xiaotong sighed quietly, waved his hands and said: "Kick him away, out of sight, out of mind."
"yes."
Li Lie bowed in agreement, turned around and walked downstairs. He arched his back slightly, but there was a trace of anger in his eyes. The man downstairs betrayed the young lady, causing her to seek death and survival. The young lady finally recovered, and now But the man came back, he was so shameless. Just when Li Lie wanted to deal with Wang Xiaoyang, a long sigh came from behind him: "Wait a minute."
"Miss, you don't want to see Wang Xiaoyang, do you?"
Li Lie stopped, but he was secretly worried, fearing that Li Xiaotong would be soft-hearted.
Li Xiaotong looked at the expectant young man below with a faint look, and said calmly: "Uncle Li, he and I have been completely cut off, and we have no relationship. You take people out to drive him away, and remember not to hurt him."
"yes."
Li Lie sighed, turned and left.
…
Outside Guangzhou, in Li Zhen's army camp.
During this period, Li Zhen stayed and did not send troops. After patrolling the camp with his hands behind his back, Li Zhen went directly to the place where his family rested and entered the camp. However, Li Zhen found that the maids he had brought with him were preparing Kongming lanterns.
Li Zhen was curious about how to make a Kongming Lantern.
"General, why are you here?"
Zhi Lan saw Li Zhen coming and said happily in her heart. Zhi Lan, Liu Die, Huang Qi, Gu Lina, Alice, Gu Yili and others were all making Kongming lanterns and were extremely happy. Everyone saw Li Zhen coming and they were even more excited. They were so excited that they all picked up their Kongming Lanterns and asked Li Zhen to comment.
This situation gave Li Zhen a headache.
Li Zhen inquired about it and asked: "What kind of day is it today? Why are there so many sky lanterns?"
Liu Die said with a smile: "Sir, today is the third day of July, and in a few days it will be the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Chinese Valentine's Day. We are making Kongming lanterns to put them out during the Chinese Valentine's Day."
"Put off the Kongming Lanterns."
After Li Zhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
At this moment, Li Zhen thought of an excellent idea.
Originally, Li Zhen had no interest in the Kongming Lantern. After all, he had seen this before. However, after hearing what Liu Die said about setting off the Kongming Lantern, Li Zhen got the answer to the question he had been thinking about for a long time. Immediately, Li Zhen turned around and left. , quickly disappeared from the sight of the girls. Zhilan, Gu Lina and the other girls looked at Li Zhen's leaving figure, looking at each other with incomprehensible expressions in their eyes.
What's happening here.
However, a few people could not stop it.
Li Zhen left the camp where his family members lived, returned to the Chinese army's tent, and immediately ordered the soldiers to invite Liu Taiping. Not long after, Liu Taiping hurried to the tent, bowed slightly and saluted Li Zhen, and asked: "Sir , I came to see the old man in a hurry, what's the matter?"
"Sir, I have thought of a plan to destroy Guangzhou."
Li Zhen said excitedly, with an excited look on his face.
"What, your lord has thought of a plan to destroy Guangzhou." Liu Taiping looked surprised when he heard this, and an excited look appeared on his old face. The conquest of Guangzhou not only trapped Li Zhen, but also gave Liu Taiping a headache.
, now Li Zhen thought of a plan and finally had the opportunity to destroy Guangzhou.
