Coming out of King Dongjiang's residence, Li Da, the second young master who rarely spoke next to the prince, finally spoke: "Brother, are you really going to pick up Miss Xu?"
Li Wen turned sideways, walked side by side with him, and replied gently: "Now that the matter is over, it would be better for me to go there in person."
Li Da looked at his brother with worry in his eyes: "But, isn't this too dangerous?"
Li Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
Li Dadao: "Not long after Miss Xu entered Dongjiang, she was attacked by bandits in the middle of the night. According to reports from behind-the-scenes, these bandits had suspicious origins and seemed to be disguised as the army. This is not something ordinary people can do. It shows that someone is targeting our family.
I am very dissatisfied with our alliance. Brother, I am afraid that if you go, you may encounter accidents on the road."
These words surprised Li Wen: "Erlang, you have thought very thoroughly!"
Being praised by his brother, Li Da showed a shy expression: "I'm also worried about my brother."
Li Wen laughed and said warmly: "That's why I have to go in person because of my brother!"
"Ah?" Li Da was puzzled.
Li Wen explained patiently: "The other party acted so ruthlessly, and it was clear that he was bound to win. Now that I can't succeed in one blow, and the news leaked, I will definitely not attack Miss Xu again. I will go there in person to stimulate the other party, maybe I can attract him
Attack again."
Li Da suddenly realized: "It turns out that the elder brother is luring the snake out of its hole!"
Li Wen nodded with a smile and added: "Of course, apologizing to the Xu family is also a reason. If the murderer doesn't move, we can resolve the misunderstanding with the Xu family. If the murderer can't restrain himself, it would be good to explain to Mr. Xu with facts.
.”
All in all, no matter which choice you make, you will gain something.
Li Da said sheepishly: "I also said that my brother's decision was too impulsive. I didn't expect that there are so many inside stories. It's just my ignorance."
Li Wen smiled at brother An Wei: "You are right, this trip is indeed dangerous. But if you don't do this, you may not be able to find the murderer, which will make it even harder for the Xu family to explain. I have you to worry about, my dear brother.
remember."
Li Da was flattered: "Brother..."
Li Wen smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, today I will follow my brother to inspect the military camp. You must be tired too, so go back and rest."
"Yes." Li Da cupped his hands and respectfully sent him off.
Li Wen turned around and went back to the study, calling for the recorder to prepare for departure.
Li Da watched him go away. He stood there for a while, turned around and went back. How many steps did he walk? He seemed to have an impromptu decision. He told the boy: "Brother has been working hard these days. Let's go ask Yue Lou to buy what he likes to eat."
Treasure duck!"
The young man should be? He smiled and complimented: "Young Master and the Crown Prince are really close brothers."
Li Da smiled and left the Dongjiang Prince's Mansion after listening to the boy's explanation to the guard.
He didn't take a car? He didn't take a sedan either. He just walked at a leisurely pace.
When he saw Wenyuelou, he ordered the boy to go in and buy the eight-treasure duck, saying, "Should I go to the calligraphy and painting shop? You bought the duck and sent it to your elder brother as soon as possible? You don't have to wait for me."
The boy agreed and went into the building.
Li Da stood outside the restaurant, turned around and walked to the other side. He seemed to be strolling casually, looking here and there? He moved forward slowly with the flow of people.
After a while, his figure disappeared from the street and entered an alley.
When he arrived here, Li Da looked around. No one noticed him, so he quickened his pace and walked through the streets and alleys.
Not long after? He arrived outside a mansion.
The mansion occupies a large area? He walked around in a circle, found a side door that was not often accessed, and climbed up a tree next to it.
He waited and waited until it got dark, and the side door suddenly opened.
Li Da suddenly opened his eyes and stared closely.
A low voice came from inside: "Miss, here."
Then, two female figures stepped forward, looked left and right, and walked out quickly.
Li Da jumped down from the tree and followed them until they entered a rather deserted teahouse.
The maid was talking to the shopkeeper, and the young lady, wearing a hood all the time, stood aside and waited.
Soon, the two of them were led in.
Li Da thought for a moment, straightened his clothes, came out of the darkness, and entered the teahouse grandly.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he showed his habitual smile: "Master, would you like some tea?"
Li Da smiled and said: "If you don't want to drink tea, find someone."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, obviously nervous, and said: "But I don't know who the young master is looking for?"
Li Da stretched out his hand and pointed: "The lady who went in just now."
The shopkeeper gave a short laugh and replied: "The young master, wait here for a moment. The younger one will go in and ask."
He walked out of the counter, but Li Da stretched out his hand: "No need to ask, just take me in with you."
The shopkeeper quickly refused: "Sir, this is not good. After all, she is a young lady..."
Li Da smiled, then suddenly lowered his voice and said fiercely: "It's okay if you don't take me in. If you get out of here, I'll report it to the Yamen. Which one do you choose?"
"Sir!" The shopkeeper stared at him angrily.
Li Da smiled again, showing a confident expression, and said softly: "Not bad, you are not stupid, you didn't say that you are doing a serious business."
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. When the other person said this, he obviously knew what was going on in their tavern, so there was no need to bother with it.
"What on earth do you want to do?" He stopped pretending and asked coldly.
Li Da chuckled: "I told you, I'm just looking for someone."
The shopkeeper looked at him coldly. Seeing that his smile remained unchanged, he finally relaxed and asked hesitantly: "Is there really no other purpose?"
Li Da said calmly: "If you stop me again, you might have other motives."
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and finally gave in: "Sir, although your status is extraordinary, the shop is not helpless to fight back. If you really do something wrong, don't blame the shop for keeping you here."
Li Da ignored his harsh words and said leisurely: "Don't worry, it might be a good thing!"
The shopkeeper glanced at him suspiciously, said nothing, and led him to the box.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and a vigilant voice came from inside: "Who?"
The shopkeeper said: "Miss, a young man is looking for you."
There was a sound of clinking porcelain, as if someone inside accidentally bumped into a tea cup. After a moment of silence, the voice came again: "My young lady doesn't see outsiders."
Before the shopkeeper could speak, Li Da had already spoken: "Miss Wei Si, you'd better meet me, otherwise, you will regret it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the door opened.
Li Da looked past the maid and saw Miss Wei Si sitting at the tea table. Her clothes had been taken off, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat opposite her.
Seeing him, the other party couldn't hide his surprise: "Second Young Master?"
Li Da's expression remained unchanged and he stepped in.
After the door closed, he smiled, and what he said was: "Miss Wei Si, I advise you not to do anything. Otherwise, not to mention the position of the Crown Princess, even your Wei family will probably be finished."
