"Sir, the chef at this station also has a special dish. Why don't you invite Mr. Marquis to try it later?"
Postmaster Wang Pu recommended with a smile on his face.
"No, go ahead and do your business."
Qian Bojun waved off Wang Pu's flattery.
Zhao Yun looked at the surrounding environment and ordered his men to set up warning posts.
Just when everyone was about to go upstairs, there was a sound at the door.
The person at the front was chubby with smiling eyes, and was followed by two guards.
"Oh my, it's so easy to find Ren Yonghou's family all the way."
It was Wang Sheng, the eunuch in the palace. When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Master Wang, what do you want to see me for?"
It stands to reason that since I have just left Luoyang City, if the officials have any orders, they should tell them in advance.
"There's no rush, no hurry, our house has been very busy all the way, let's have a bowl of tea and talk first."
As Liu Qi and the two sat down, the waiter brought the tea, and the eunuch Wang Sheng took a few sips.
Suddenly he pushed back the two guards behind him. Seeing this, Liu Qi also signaled to Dian Wei.
"Madam, please go upstairs..."
The waiter Zhao Erzi politely led Cai Wenji and the three girls up to the second floor.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a beauty. She deserves to be a benevolent and brave man. Linjiang Pavilion brought the beauty home in one fell swoop..."
Naturally, the eunuch Wang Sheng also saw a graceful figure from behind, with glossy black hair hanging down like silk.
The words just now are quite normal coming from the mouth of a eunuch, after all, he can't do anything.
Liu Qi's face remained calm and he had no intention of answering.
It's just that what happened to the eunuch Wang Sheng who chased him out of Luoyang City for hundreds of miles is still mysterious.
"Sir Renyonghou, our family has brought you good things."
Eunuch Wang Sheng lowered his voice and continued.
"The official family has been in a bad mood recently. A few days ago, I accidentally heard a musician playing the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", and I was immediately delighted. Later, I heard that the talented Cai Wenji's "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" was even more amazing, so I wanted to invite..."
Wang Sheng said with a fiery face, not noticing the sharp flash in Liu Qi's eyes.
"Master Wang, don't the officials know that Cai Wenji is already my young master's wife?"
Liu Qi said in a cold tone that it turned out that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong wanted to invite Wen Ji to play the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters Meet a Friend" in the palace.
This is not a bunch of nonsense, I'm afraid he coveted Wen Ji's beauty and deliberately found such a reason.
If she were invited to the palace, given Wenji's character, she would probably end up dying.
It's so shameless. After all, I am also the nephew of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hongzi. I didn't expect that the old emperor would actually target his wife.
The eunuch Wang Sheng also didn't expect Liu Qi's tone to be so bad, and his expression changed slightly and returned to its original state.
"Marquis Renyong, not only do you invite your wife to play the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", but the official family is also prepared to promote you to the position of the Marquis. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Liu Qi's face was already ashen. This was not trading his wife for an official position. This was something that no man could tolerate.
"I wonder if Lord Wang has brought His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Wang Sheng laughed when he heard this. How could an imperial edict be used for such a thing?
It seems that Liu Qi has just become a little distracted and lost his moral integrity as soon as he was awarded the title of Renyong Hou.
"Ren Yonghou, what we say is the will of the officials. As the saying goes, women are like clothes. Don't let down the support of the officials, otherwise."
The smile on Wang Sheng's face also disappeared, and he said in a conspiratorial tone.
I still have to watch Cai Wenji get promoted and make a fortune, not to mention that with the support of the official family behind her, a little prince dares to resist the decree.
"Master Wang, I don't know what you are talking about?"
Liu Qi's face became calmer instead, wanting to see what the eunuch Wang Sheng wanted to do.
Wang Sheng took another sip of tea and said slowly: "Since Marquis Ren Yong refuses to drink wine as a penalty, then we can't blame our family."
Bang!
The tea bowl in his hand smashed to pieces on the ground.
"Go ahead and take Cai Wenji back. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
At Wang Sheng's signal, several waiters who were still busy cleaning the table suddenly pulled out weapons from under the table.
Wang Pu, who was hunched over in the distance, suddenly straightened up. He wiped his face casually, and the thin layer of dough on it was removed. A pair of short thorns appeared in his hand, shining with sharp light.
Then dozens more people broke in from outside, some were tall or short, some were fat or thin, but all of them had bulging temples and a cold light shining in their eyes.
With quick steps, the people brought by Liu Qi were surrounded in an instant.
"Shadowguard?"
Liu Qi, who was sitting at the table, spoke softly without any fear on his face.
Hey hey hey...
The eunuch Wang Sheng made a series of hey sounds from his mouth.
"I didn't expect Marquis Renyong to have some knowledge. These people are the shadow guards around the official family. They are all highly skilled in martial arts. One is worth ten, and they can kill like a fool."
"We will only follow His Majesty's orders. What we say is true, right? It wouldn't be too late for Ren Yonghou to turn around now. After all, he is a member of the Han clan, and the officials don't want to see a bloody end."
Wang Sheng finally persuaded.
"Lord?"
Counselor Tian Feng and military advisor Guo Jia asked worriedly. Although they were not ashamed of what the officials did, they actually did such an obscene and shameless thing.
He even spared his nephew's wife, which is outrageous, but he is still the emperor after all, and if his swordsmen meet, they may get into trouble.
After all, he had read poetry and books and was still in awe of the emperor.
Liu Qi waved his hand to stop what Tian Feng and Guo Jia were about to say.
At this time, there are only two choices, either to abandon his wife Cai Wenji, or to...
If Liu Qi was still the same Liu Qi who was eating, drinking and having fun all day long, he might have followed it, but now it's him.
If a man abandons his wife, not only will he be laughed at by everyone, but he will also feel uncomfortable with it.
"Master Wang, do you really want to fight with a sword? I have paid you a lot of silver in the past?"
Liu Qi stood up and said slowly.
"Hahaha, it's a lot of money, but the government can give us more, so I'm really sorry."
The eunuch Wang Sheng laughed loudly, with no sign of apology on his face.
"In that case, let's do it."
Upon hearing Liu Qi's words, Wang Sheng suddenly shouted.
"Bring Cai Wenji to our family. Don't hurt your majesty's beauty..."
Suddenly, a sharp dagger appeared in the hand of the bent man upstairs, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
His left hand grabbed Cai Wenji, whose body was as soft as a bone.
"Ah, Boyu, save me..."
Cai Wenji had never seen such a battle before. Her pretty face instantly turned pale, and her weak body was trembling.
"Marquis Renyong, it's better to ask your men to put down their weapons, so as not to hurt your lady."
Wang Sheng said with a smile, confident of victory.
