The evening of February 19th.

A few hours later, Lan Qiao had been in Beijing for two days, and Li Jingshu's whereabouts still had no clue.

The Goddess Tower, Duke Wei's Mansion, and Liu Jing's residence in the capital. If Li Jingshu was really captured by the Erqi Society, she would most likely be imprisoned in these three places.

Assuming that Liu Yueyao's statement is true, the Goddess Tower is still under Hua Yuxi's control. As Hua Yuxi is a formidable enemy who has repeatedly given herself the taste of failure, Lan Qiao does not dare to go there rashly.

He tried to sneak into the Duke of Wei's mansion at night, but the guards in the mansion were heavily guarded, so he had to return without success.

This morning, he followed the secret message at the root of the city wall to find Lan Feng, who had gone to Beijing to investigate Liu Jing first. He went straight to the old city in the east of the city, but there was no sign of Lan Feng.

"Where did this kid go?" Lan Qiao was puzzled and had to return to Tiancha Villa. The craftsman who came to replace the plaque happened to come to the door. Later, someone came to measure the dimensions for decorating the facade. He was busy all afternoon.

.

At dusk, the clerk sent a piece of paper, which was written in turquoise ink: "Brother Xun, the slave family is waiting at Lihui Bridge, Yue Yaoyao."

Walking from Tiancha Villa to Lihui Bridge, it was the time when the lanterns were first lit up. We strolled to the top of the Blue Bridge and leaned on the railing to look at the endless flowing Qinhuai River and the waning moon reflected in the water.

The moon waxes and wanes. Isn't this also true for the joys and sorrows of the human world? Although the moon is close in the water, it is just a dream after all, making people mistakenly think that the bright moon in the sky thousands of miles away is just within reach. The moon is far away, yours

Does the name also have this meaning?

A small boat cut through the moonlight, and Liu Yueyuan, who had returned to women's clothing, was sitting on the boat, smiling and saying hello to him.

Her carefully carved face looked like jade in the moonlight, and her long hair flowed down like a waterfall, pouring down along her weak and boneless shoulders, outlining the soft curves of her back, all the way to her waist.

A phoenix hairpin was inserted diagonally into her temples, and her long snow-white skirt closely fit her exquisite and graceful figure. The hem of the skirt formed a complete circle around her delicate body, and was decorated with various fresh green vines.

Some of the petals are in full bloom, some are in bud, and some are stained with dew. You can smell the intoxicating fragrance of the flowers from a long distance away.

"Brother Xun, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Her voice was sweet and soft, the kind of voice that makes men feel relieved but women feel a little artificial after hearing it. Many passers-by across the bridge turned their eyes to this person.

The beauties on the boat cast their envy towards Blue Bridge.

Not wanting to attract attention, Lan Qiao jumped off the Lihui Bridge with a flick of his sleeves and landed firmly on the bow of the boat. The boat moved forward slowly and swam along the Qinhuai River.

"I had already gone out, but I felt that my brother might not like that hairpin, so I ran back and changed it for another one." Liu Yueyao said with a sweet smile, "I'm really ashamed. It's obviously my brother's appointment with the Nu family.

But you are late, you should punish yourself with a drink first."

There was a small square table in front of her, with a wine jar, two wine cups, and three plates of exquisite side dishes placed on it.

The fashion was early spring, but her dress only had half sleeves, revealing half of her slender arms as if she was not afraid of the cold spring. A red rope was tied around her jade-like wrist, and a silver bell as big as a soybean accompanied her to add to her beauty.

The movement of the wine made a soft sound.

Lan Qiao couldn't help but sigh: "Young lady is truly worthy of being the chief courtesan of the Goddess House. Her every move is heart-breaking to watch."

"The slave family admits that pleasing people is indeed a lesson we must learn. But the slave family does not treat everyone like this. After all, it takes a lot of effort. The slave family only wants to please people who want to please." After that, she squeezed Lan Qiao.

eyes, holding the wine cup in both hands and drinking it all in one gulp.

Putting down the wine cup, Liu Yueyao licked the wine stains on her lips, with a hint of blush on her face, making her look even more charming and charming: "My brother is born handsome and majestic. Even without that shameful business, the slave family can't help but want to surrender to my brother."

Give me a hug."

Seeing Lan Qiao's embarrassed look, she changed the topic again, covered her mouth and laughed: "Of course, I can only think about it in my heart, and don't dare to really ruin my brother's gentlemanly style."

Seeing Liu Yueyao's unrestrained behavior, Lan Qiao felt that it was more difficult to fight with a sword. He sat upright and got to the point and said, "The girl asked me to negotiate a business, and I agreed."

Liu Yueyao's excitement was beyond words. She leaned forward suddenly with her upper body almost lying on the table and said, "Brother agrees to help me kill An Xiaohan?"

Because they were above the river, there was no chance that outsiders would hear their conversation. Lan Qiao was forced to frown by the fragrance of flowers and powder on her body. He pointed to the old man rowing silently at the stern of the boat and whispered: "Girl, be careful."

Voice."

"Brother, don't worry." Liu Yueyao playfully pointed to his ear and said, "This old boatman is deaf and will not get in the way."

At this time, Liu Yueyuan leaned over, her big eyes less than a foot away from Lan Qiao. Lan Qiao felt her amazing charm and hurriedly reached for the wine jar, trying to force her to sit back down by pouring the wine.

Liu Yueyao chuckled, grabbed Lan Qiao's hand, rubbed her delicate palm on the back of his generous hand and said, "Can you let me pour wine for my brother? My brother's face is so red, there is nothing to be ashamed of."

?Is it possible that my brother hasn’t touched a girl’s hand yet?”

When she said this, Lan Qiao felt his cheeks burning even more. He threw her hand away and turned his eyes towards the river bank.

While Liu Yueyao was pouring wine for Lan Qiao, she joked: "My brother doesn't dare to look at the slave family. Is it because the slave family is not beautiful enough? Also, the engagement between my brother and Miss Feng family is known to the whole world, and he naturally looks down on such lowly people as the slave family."

people."

"How can people be distinguished between high and low?" Lan Qiao took a sip from the wine cup and exclaimed: "No one is born to please others. The girl must also have her own difficulties."

He savored the taste of the liquor and said in a daze: "This is..."

"This is the Qingling wine that is worth gold in the capital." Liu Yueyao smiled and turned the wine jar at an angle, and saw a small note hanging on a gold thread at the mouth of the wine jar, and it was Feng Yeling.

The small characters in Juanxiu read: "I wish you all the best."

Lan Qiao looked at the circled word "Ling" at the signature. The cute look of Feng Yeling saying this came to mind. He was touched in his heart and almost wet his eyes.

"Brother, please don't thank the Nu family. The Nu family can still borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha." Liu Yueyao said, filling a cup for herself, raising her hands in front of her and saying, "I hope that when my brother is in a foreign land, he can always think of the taste of home."

.”

Seeing that she was speaking sincerely, Lan Qiao clinked the wine cup with her and drank it all greedily.

"Qingling wine with fennel beans is the most fashionable way to eat in the capital." Liu Yueyao refilled Lanqiao's glass of wine, then picked up an fennel bean from the dish with chopsticks and brought it to him and said, "You drink too much wine."
