Li Ke sighed. At this moment, he felt that the reason why he had been unable to defeat Da Xingguo and Wanyan Kang was mainly because of Xu Ye and his three pig teammates.
He patiently explained the pros and cons to Xu Ye.
Xu Yefang was shocked: "Oh, Lord Marquis, what should we do?"
Xu Ye broke out in a cold sweat.
If he really marries Wanyanhui, his good days will be over.
With Wan Yanhui's temperament, how could he be allowed to gamble money and go out and have sex with prostitutes?
After a disagreement, he started to use his fists and kicks. He had no strength to restrain a chicken. How could he be the opponent of Wan Yanhui who was good at riding and shooting?
Li Ke let out a sigh of relief.
After all the effort he put into it, Xu Ye finally came to the end.
"For the current plan, we can only change the situation..." Li Ke called Xu Ye and slowly told him his clever plan.
Xu Ye is indeed not very smart, but he doesn't have a lot of brains.
After listening to Li Ke's words, he was full of hesitation: "Master Hou, is this... inappropriate? Can it be done?"
There are some things Xu Ye dare not say.
King Zhao is the emperor's younger brother. He is the only one among the royal princes who has military power, and his power is as high as the sky.
No matter how powerful Xu Zhiguo was, he would not dare to openly be an enemy of King Zhao.
This is completely different from following Li Ke and having fun, making trouble and fighting with Wan Yankang.
If there is a real plan to harm the young prince of Prince Zhao's house, once it is revealed, the Xu family will be left with nothing to lose.
snort.
Li Ke's face turned cold: "In that case, let's never mention this matter again. However, young master, if the imperial concubine calls me into the palace again and talks about the marriage between Nanyang County Prince and the Xu family, how should I respond? I should support it.
Or are you against it?"
Li Ke picked up the tea cup with a cold look.
Xu Ye's face turned even paler, and the corners of his mouth were trembling.
Knowing that Li Ke was threatening him, he had no choice but to do anything.
The Xu family's current power is mostly due to Concubine Li's support. If you offend Li Ke and Concubine Li behind him, everything owned by the Xu family may be wiped out.
Specifically regarding the marriage between the Prince of Nanyang and the Xu family, if Li Ke intentionally made things worse and Concubine Li intentionally facilitated it, his father Xu would definitely not disobey the order when he was in charge of the country.
When the time comes, Xu Ye will be the biggest unlucky guy.
Li Ke sneered and stared coldly at Xu Ye's expression.
He is not in a hurry, he believes that Xu Ye will make the right choice.
Although they are said to be allies, in fact, in Li Ke's eyes, Xu Ye and these younger brothers are not much different from domestic slaves.
Sure enough, Xu Ye quickly bowed his head.
"The Marquis has his destiny, and I dare not disobey him. But, it's just from King Zhao's side..."
Li Ke laughed, and his face immediately became enthusiastic: "Young Master, you are worrying too much! We have had more than one fight with Daxingguo and Wanyan Kang? Has anything ever happened?"
"If something happens, I will be responsible for everything! If I can't bear it, there are still concubines. What are you afraid of?"
"Besides, I am only thinking about you!"
For me?
If you really think I'm a stupid pig, you won't be much smarter. Aren't you just a monkey from Kaicheng?
Xu Ye cursed in his mind, but he was submissive and did not dare to refute.
But he secretly made up his mind to report it to his father immediately after returning. Otherwise, if something happened, Li Ke might not be able to save him.
…
Afternoon.
In the southeast corner of the city, Lingyun Pavilion.
The bright sunshine shone on this magnificent building. Wan Yankang looked up and was amazed.
I didn't expect that there would be such a tall building made entirely of wood in Zhongdu.
Is the current level of construction technology as high as this?
By visual inspection, it should be at least twenty meters.
It has three floors outside and three floors inside, with green beams and black tiles, cornices and corridors on all sides, making it simple and solemn.
Wanyan Kang was quickly attracted by the huge door couplet.
First couplet: Raise a glass to the moon, think of the iron cavalry and fight against each other, Taizu's ambition, the heroes chanting, Ling Yun's song, which has been passed down through the ages to this world;
Second line: Leaning on the railing, you can see the beautiful flowers in Taihang, the majestic waves of Yan River, the wind and clouds in Lugou, the distant sunshine of firewood and mulberry trees, and the beautiful Cuisi Pavilion in all directions.
"My young prince, Zhongdu was originally the hometown of the Zhou Kingdom. This pavilion was built before the founding emperor of the Zhou Kingdom ascended the throne. It was originally a meeting place for the emperor and heroes from all over the world, and it is quite famous in the world."
Liang Zireng was beside him and explained: "The emperor of Zhou was originally a general of the previous dynasty, with great talents and great strategies, and he made friends with heroes from all over the world. At that time, the world was in chaos, so it was convenient for the heroes to have a banquet here, to gather high to gather righteousness, and to raise troops to compete with the world... The world was settled!"
"This is all a matter of the past dynasty. Today, this pavilion is already a gathering place for the nobles of Zhongdu."
Liang Ziweng was still waiting to elaborate on the allusion in the couplet and the current situation of Lingyun Pavilion, but Wanyan Kang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to talk anymore.
He had no interest in listening to these historical stories of the Golden Zhou Dynasty, they were too boring.
At the same time, he also explained that Hammer is a high-end club that is both elegant and vulgar.
Is it another form of Xiaoxiang Pavilion?
For a simple gathering, no matter the food or service, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary restaurants.
If the purpose of the gathering is not simple, it would be more simple, just throw a lot of money around.
There is a lot to say here.
So even though the girls from Lingyung Pavilion are unknown, if you pick any one of them, they will be the oiran-level existence of Fengyue Field in Zhongdu.
It is said that there are also male prostitutes, whose appearance is also the most beautiful in the world.
All in all, as long as you can’t think of it, there is no service scope that Lingyunge cannot cover.
The lack of visitors at the door does not mean that Lingyun Pavilion's business is not good.
The people who come and go are either rich or noble, and those who spend tens of millions of dollars are loaded with money.
In addition to the extremely high consumption, there is also an identity threshold. You must have a special gold-painted sticker from Lingyung Pavilion to enter, which is equivalent to a membership card.
Only then did Wan Yankang realize that he was ignorant. Compared with the Lingyun Pavilion, he was really a younger brother.
"Old Grandmaster is so familiar, so he must be a frequent visitor here." Wan Yankang chuckled and walked up the steps of Lingyun Pavilion.
Liang Ziweng's old face turned red: "My subordinate... I just came here with the prince a few times."
This is not true.
This old gentleman is a lecherous man, and there are probably not many brothels in Zhongdu City that he has not been to. But although he has been to Lingyun Pavilion, he came as a guard for King Zhao. As for the fairies singing and dancing inside, he couldn't even think about it.
Not only could he not afford the money, but as a guest of Prince Zhao's residence, he was not allowed to attend the banquet and was not allowed to enter.
Wanyan Kang laughed: "If the old master is interested...I will arrange it."
Liang Zireng's face turned redder and he bowed: "How dare I, my subordinates!"
"I'm serious, don't be polite to me." Wan Yankang turned to look at Liang Ziwen and patted him on the shoulder.
Liang Zirong suppressed the urge to move in his heart, lowered his head and said: "I don't dare!"
Wanyan smiled generously: "That's good, the days are long, so there's no need to rush."
Liang Ziweng was overjoyed. He still endured it and acted reserved and dignified.
After spending these days together, he knew that the young prince kept his word and would not make empty promises.
Wan Yankang shrugged. He liked Liang Ziwen who had outstanding shortcomings. Such a person is easy to control.
Wan Yankang and Liang Zirong stepped on the soft red carpet and entered Lingyun Pavilion. The foyer was antique with carved beams and paintings, but it was empty.
After facing the screen, two guys in blue shirts and small hats came out.
With light makeup on her face and bright red lips, she is clearly a woman dressed as a man, and her figure is as graceful as any other.
Wan Yankan took out the gold tracing sticker.
A man in green clothes checked the authenticity and led him upstairs, while the other led Liang Ziwen to settle downstairs, where he had his own place to arrange the servants of various nobles.
Before leaving, Liang Ziwen handed over a bamboo whistle with both hands and said, "My young prince, if anything happens, just blow the whistle and I will arrive by myself."
Wanyan smiled generously and nodded in greeting.
The guy swung his waist and swung his hips, walking in front of him with a lot of charm.
Wanyan Kang didn't squint his eyes and walked slowly, carrying the air of a young prince.
When I received the invitation from Daxingguo, I thought it would be another boring cocktail party, but it turned out to be so wonderful that it was really a waste of money.
On the second floor surrounded by corridors, it is difficult to count the quiet private rooms.
It was rare to hear no noise at all while walking in the corridor, let alone the overwhelming sound he imagined.
Wanyan Kang went directly to Room 13 East.
When he opened the door and was introduced, the female waiter bowed and saluted, then disappeared.
Wan Yankang looked around and saw that this was actually a huge suite with three entrances, both inside and outside, and was carpeted throughout.
The outermost part is the tea room, with all the utensils and furnishings available.
There are also game pots, flower drums, etc., arranged in the four corners.
There was a polygonal leather ball the size of a watermelon hanging from the cantilever on the roof. Wanyan Kang glanced at it and knew that this thing was called Cuju, which was similar to football in later generations.
Inside is the dining room, with three small mahogany tables, furnished on the opposite side and on the front.
On the table are placed ivory chopsticks, gold spoons, silver bowls, and colorful pottery cups.
The innermost part is actually the bedroom.
There is nothing else but a wooden couch with a red curtain and a green tent, with jade pillows and brocade quilts spread out in pairs.
Wanyan Kang spun around twice, smashing and smashing his mouth.
The only drawback is that there is no bathroom or water bed.
I can only score eighty points.
Jingle bell bell!
A clear ringing sound suddenly came from the tea room outside. Wanyan Kang, who had been pretending to be a calm and experienced driver, was startled when he heard it.
Could it be that the host of this treat has not arrived yet and the show is about to begin?
He put his hands behind his back and walked out without changing his face or heartbeat.
After a while, the door was pushed open.
It seems that they really value the privacy of their guests.
Five or six female waiters in Tsing Yi with vaguely similar faces, graceful postures, lined up, and made tea in the tea room with light movements.
Food was also served in the dining room.
There are only four items per person. There is also a bottle of wine.
A plate of freshly steamed pork balls, topped with minced garlic and sticky bean paste.
A plate of green fish soup with spinach and spinach salad, the presentation is just right.
A plate of white translucent sashimi sliced into shreds, with a pinch of mixed seasonings such as minced green onion and black bean, and is called kiri.
There is also a cup of sunflower soup.
The intact sunflower leaves looked like pig ears, with green leaf stems floating in the white soup. Wanyan Kang was a little disgusted by the sight of them.
He instantly lost his appetite.
From the beginning to the end, the female waiters who provided excellent service never looked at Yan Kang. No matter what his identity was, Wan Yan Kang was a kind of person in their eyes, a guest.
Their movements were skillful and uniform. They arranged everything in an instant and then retreated quietly.
Wanyan Kang looked at it in disbelief. In these days, it was really surprising that the waiters could be trained to such an extent. The owner behind Lingyun Pavilion was by no means an ordinary person.
At that moment, the door opened again and two young men came in side by side.
