Mr. Zhao understood the purpose of Mr. Li coming here. Now that he has just been appreciated by His Majesty, no one seems to mention the ridiculous things Mr. Zhao did before. Mr. Li saw that he would not be implicated, so he came to curry favor with Mr. Zhao.
.
Although his father was a minister, he did not hold any official position. When Mr. Zhao came back from a trip to Licheng, he was appointed a fourth-rank official by his majesty.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Mr. Li let go of his pride and went to Zhao's house to invite Mr. Zhao out for a drink.
Of course, Mr. Li is not just for this reason. Mr. Zhao has long wanted to date Mr. Zhao these days, but because of what happened before, he is a little embarrassed to come.
Just when Yue'er's maid came over to convey a few words, he knew it was the right time to come over. So, he took the initiative to come to the door.
Although Mr. Zhao was kept in the dark by him, he still didn't want to go to the Yanyu Tower with him. Before, he only went to the Yanyu Tower to do a show. Now that he doesn't have to do a show, what else is he going to the Yanyu Tower?
"We used to like to go to Yanyu Tower the most. Did Mr. Zhao forget it?" Mr. Li said.
"Of course I haven't forgotten it, I just think the tavern next to it is pretty good," Mr. Zhao said.
"Then I'll listen to you. Let's go to the Chengnan Tavern first." Mr. Li said.
Mr. Li was worried about the suspicion of Mr. Zhao before the meeting, so he agreed to Mr. Zhao's suggestion first. After meeting Mr. Liu and Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhao would naturally compromise.
So Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li got on the carriage. The carriage stopped at Liu's house. Mr. Li got off the carriage. Within a quarter of an hour, Mr. Li followed Mr. Liu and Mr. Qin and came out of Liu's house.
"Brother Zhao, congratulations," Mr. Qin said with a smile.
"We have been having nothing to do. We are just worried that Brother Zhao will be busy when he comes back from Licheng, so we dare not disturb Brother Zhao. In fact, we should pick you up earlier." Mr. Li, who was standing aside, said.
"Brother Li, Brother Qin, you are too polite, why don't you hurry up and get on the carriage and set off. You all know that the business of Nancheng Tavern is very good, and you won't have time to go late." Brother Zhao said.
"Brother Zhao, we finally got together, why didn't we go to Yanyu Tower instead of Nancheng Tavern?" Mr. Qin said.
Mr. Qin was a little surprised. They all met at Yanyu Tower and rarely went to Chengnan Tavern. Since the last time something happened to Mr. Zhao, they were worried about being implicated and made a tacit agreement not to contact Mr. Zhao even if they went to Yanyu Tower.
, there are only three of them.
"It's just a matter of talking to the brothers, where will it be different?" Mr. Zhao said.
"Since it's the same wherever we go, let's go to Yanyu Tower. Maybe I haven't seen Miss Liuyun for a long time." Mr. Qin said.
"Yes, yes, we are all familiar with Yanyu Tower, and we are all used to it. We always feel uncomfortable when we suddenly change places." Liu Gongzi said.
Mr. Zhao didn't think much about it. Seeing that he wanted to go to Yanyu Tower, he didn't say anything and just nodded.
Seeing Mr. Zhao nodding, Mr. Li hurriedly asked the coachman to go to Yanyu Tower.
After entering the gate of Yanyulou, Yanyulou's mother was very excited and greeted her enthusiastically, saying, "Hey, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, the two young masters haven't been here for a while."
"Brother Qin, it seems that in mother's eyes, there are only Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li. Let's go back." Mr. Liu said jokingly.
My mother hurriedly came over and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Liu, I'm not happy enough to see you four coming together. Can't I apologize to you? Come, send two jugs of good wine to Peony Pavilion."
"Mom is really good at talking. Is Miss Liuyun here?" Mr. Qin asked.
"Here, Miss Liuyun is waiting for you. Master, please go to the Peony Pavilion for a drink first. Miss Liuyun will be there soon," said her mother.
The four people were invited to the Peony Pavilion by the maid. After sitting down, Mr. Zhao said: "There is no change in this Peony Pavilion."
"Brother Zhao, how long have you been in Licheng? How can you expect any changes? However, there are a few new people coming to the girls in Yanyu Tower. I don't know.
Are you interested, Brother Zhao?" Mr. Li asked.
"It's better to forget it. We haven't seen each other for a long time and we won't come back today unless we are drunk." Mr. Zhao said.
"Brother Zhao, why are your temperaments so different after you went to Licheng? I finally made it out, and besides being drunk and not coming back today, I have to choose two beautiful girls to accompany me.
." Mr. Liu said.
After saying that, he asked the maid to invite his mother in, and asked her mother to bring in some girls. He wanted to choose carefully.
When mother came in, Liu Yun also came in. Mr. Qin saw Liu Yun and said, "Liu Yun, come and sit quickly."
"Why hasn't Young Master come here for so long?" Liu Yun said.
"There have been a lot of things lately. Didn't I just come over to visit you after I finished my work?" Mr. Qin said.
As soon as Liu Yun sat down, several girls behind his mother stood in a row, letting Mr. Liu choose carefully.
Mr. Liu saw that the girls were all beautiful, so he left two girls at random, and then said to his mother, "Just leave any one of them to accompany Mr. Zhao."
"How can we leave a girl for Mr. Zhao? How about keeping the remaining four girls?" Mom tried.
"No, no, no, mom, forget it for today, I'll just sit down and leave." Mr. Zhao said.
"Master Zhao hasn't been here for a while, how can he just leave?" Mom said.
"Mom, please ignore him and go down first." Mr. Qin said.
"You stay and serve Mr. Zhao well. If you do well, you will be rewarded heavily. Mom, go quickly." Mr. Li said.
Mother left the Peony Pavilion with a smile. When the two girls saw this, they immediately sat down next to Mr. Zhao. First they poured a glass of wine for Mr. Zhao, and then filled it for themselves. After finishing the wine glass, they said: "Sir, Ying'er has a drink for you.
.”
Mr. Zhao took a drink and said to Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, why do you have a good drink today?"
Mr. Li picked up the wine glass and stood up and said: "Brother Zhao is the most promising among us now. I really didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be appreciated by His Majesty. I have offended him many times before. I hope Brother Zhao won't mind."
"Brother Li, what you said is beyond the pale. We are brothers, and I don't want to injure our brothers with the past. Let's not talk about the past. Let's just have a few more drinks today." Mr. Zhao said.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mr. Zhao felt a little hot, which was a little different from the previous drinks. This feeling was exactly the same as the last time Yue'er drugged her. Mr. Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him.
, he wanted to know who put the drug in his wine.
His eyes were blurred, and he only heard Mr. Li saying that he was drunk and asking the girls to help him to rest. He struggled a few times, but he didn't expect that he had no strength to refute, and in the end, the girls took him to the room.
.
When Mr. Qin saw Mr. Zhao being helped out, he said, "Brother Li, there is something wrong with Brother Zhao. It doesn't look like he drank too much."
"Don't worry about today's affairs, the fun is yet to come." Mr. Li said.
"What kind of medicine did you buy in this gourd? Don't make the matter bigger, otherwise we will be implicated." Mr. Qin said.
"What can happen? Don't worry, nothing will happen." Mr. Li said.
"Brother Li, what exactly do you want to do?" Mr. Liu asked.
"What can I do? Didn't Brother Zhao suffer no loss?" Mr. Li said with a smile.
"You should be more careful. Didn't you see that Brother Zhao seemed to be avoiding you on purpose? He has just been appreciated by His Majesty. If Your Majesty knows that he has come to Yanyu Tower again...it turns out that you did it on purpose?" Mr. Liu suddenly realized.
said.
Mr. Liu originally wanted to persuade Mr. Li to restrain himself, but in the middle of his words, he suddenly felt that Mr. Li did this deliberately.
He didn't quite understand why Young Master Li would do this?
"I just can't stand his proud look. He wasn't the first to be impatient when we were at Yanyu Tower, but now he has become a gentleman." Mr. Li said.
"Brother Li, why are you doing this? What if something happens?
No matter what happens, we can't escape the relationship." Liu Gongzi persuaded.
"What trouble could possibly happen? How happy he is right now?" Mr. Li said.
"I want to take Liu Yun out for a supper, so I'll go out first," Mr. Qin said.
"Go on, go on, let's just redeem Liu Yun's life. What else do you want her to do in Yanyu Tower?" Mr. Li said.
Mr. Qin said with a sad face: "You also know the old man's temper. If I redeem Liu Yun's life, he will definitely break my legs. Now, I can only wrong Liu Yun."
"You can redeem yourself for Liu Yun and live outside. It's better than staying in Yanyu Tower, right?" Liu Gongzi persuaded.
"Brother Liu is right, I will think about it carefully," Mr. Qin said.
"Brother Liu, let's not sit here. Why don't we just go over and watch the fun?" Mr. Li said.
"Go on your own, I want to continue drinking here." Mr. Liu said.
Seeing that Mr. Liu was not interested, Mr. Li had no choice but to leave Mr. Liu behind and go to Mr. Zhao's room alone.
Mr. Liu shook his head helplessly. He always felt that Mr. Li shouldn't be like this. Seeing that he didn't listen to his advice, he just let him go.
Seeing that Mr. Liu seemed to be worried, the girl dared to pour a glass of wine and said, "Sir, what are you worried about?"
"I don't have anything to worry about. I just think what Mr. Li is doing is not very authentic." Mr. Liu said.
"Didn't Master persuade me just now? However, Master Li doesn't seem to appreciate it," the girl said.
"You are right, forget it and let him go." Mr. Liu said.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li arrived at the door of Mr. Zhao's room and saw that there was no movement inside. He planned to pierce the window paper and take a peek, but as soon as he lowered his head, he was knocked unconscious.
The man in black opened the door and threw Mr. Li in. Then he carried Mr. Zhao in the room and left the Yanyu Building.
Mr. Liu drank too much in the Peony Pavilion last night and fell asleep on the sofa there. When he woke up, he saw that Mr. Li had not come back yet.
Then he said to the girl serving tea at the side: "Is Mr. Li gone?"
The girl quickly said: "I didn't see Mr. Li leave last night, nor did he come back. I don't know which girl's room Mr. Li went to, and I have been guarding here all night."
"Master Qin hasn't come back either?" Master Liu asked.
"Master Qin sent Miss Liuyun back after having a midnight snack. I guess she's not up yet," the maid said.
"By the way, where is Mr. Zhao? How is he?" Mr. Liu asked worriedly.
"This slave only knows that Mr. Zhao entered the wing but did not come out. I don't know anything else," the slave said.
