Walking on the quiet Yangzhou Street, Xue Lengxiang asked curiously.
Xia Shang shook his head and said nothing.
Xue Lengxiang didn't believe it. Thinking back to what happened upstairs, she felt that the master was quite emotional and didn't seem to be pretending at all.
"Even if the master is not in love with the princess, the princess is still in love with the master. The apprentice cannot guess the master's thoughts, but a woman's thoughts are unmistakable."
"If you are so smart, why do you need to ask me?"
"It's just that the disciple doesn't understand why the master is doing this? Do you hope that the princess will give up the fight for the world just because of the princess's little friendship with the master? I heard from the master that the princess is from the previous royal family. Since it has been planned for a long time, even if it is again
No matter how much you like Master, you won’t give up the world’s struggle just for the sake of love for one person, right?”
"Did you go through the main door when you went to invite the princess? Was there any notification?"
Xue Lengxiang replied: "According to Master's instructions, go through the gate and announce first, and then the princess will come out."
"In that case, the matter is settled."
"Is it done?" Xue Lengxiang still didn't understand.
Xia Shang was walking on the street, and there was nothing left or right, so he explained all the way: "You go to the palace to invite the princess. Since you are the one who was found through notification, the matter will naturally be known to King Yong. Although Li Yong obeyed the princess's words,
, but after all, he is an ambitious person, and he is also a man. In the past, Li Yong had no power in his hands, so he did not dare to interfere too much. He could only turn a blind eye to what the princess did, and was often criticized by the princess.
He kept shouting and drinking. As a member of the royal family, but with little dignity, Li Yong must have had grudges in his heart for enduring it like this.
Now Li Yong not only has a grandmaster army, but he has also become a strong master, which is no longer what he used to be. The stronger a person is, the more things he wants, and the bolder he will naturally be. I
I don’t believe that a man can tolerate his woman hanging out with other men! When Li Yong heard that it was me who invited the princess to have a private meeting, he would definitely be more suspicious, and there would definitely be someone following him on the road. Now he is acting out that scene at the wine table, but
It is to induce the princess to say that killing Li Zijin has nothing to do with her."
"What's the point of this sentence?"
"When these words reach Li Yong's ears, the other party will not only think that Nangong Chuxin is telling secrets that cannot be revealed in order to win back other men's hearts, but also think that this woman will act in a critical situation.
betray him without caring at all times. Regardless of whether this decision is true or false, Li Yong will know that he and the women around him are not on the same path. What I call the differentiation strategy is not differentiation but the use of the masters around him, including several of the most recent ones.
The relationship between the core people is not stable, and all I did was make the gap between them wider."
Xue Lengxiang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and just sighed: "In terms of wisdom, Master can be regarded as the current master."
Xia Shang waved his hands and didn't want to talk anymore: "We will book the place first and look forward to other news."
…
While Xia Shang was talking with his apprentice, what happened in the restaurant had quietly spread back to Li Yong's ears.
After learning everything that happened in the restaurant, Li Yong didn't have many expressions. He just looked at the outline of the Heavenly Book in front of him and became less focused.
There was no one around, so Li Yong put away the outline of the Book of Heaven, left the room alone, and walked around the palace again, only meeting a few people here and there.
Suddenly, Li Yong felt depressed and grabbed a servant and asked: "Why is it so deserted tonight? Why can't there be many people in the palace?"
The servant replied: "Your Majesty, the people you brought back have all gone out and are all nearby."
"It's so late, why don't you come back?"
"This..." The servant looked very embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the people you brought are not easy to mess with. We don't dare to ask any more questions."
"What about the princess? How long has the princess been out?"
"Have been out for an hour."
"An hour..." Li Yong's mind was spinning. The secret news had been sent back for half an hour. Didn't it mean that Xia Shang had left? Why didn't he come back?
Li Yong shook off his servants and walked outside the palace.
In Yangzhou tonight, there was no one on the streets, and the empty streets looked very strange.
After standing for a while, Li Yong noticed some laughter coming from the street behind him a few yards away.
Li Yong remembered that it was the place where brothels gathered in Yangzhou, so he suddenly became interested and headed in the direction of the brothels.
When we arrived at the street corner, we happened to meet the returning princess and Guangxie.
Nangong Chuxin looked at Li Yong and asked casually: "It's so late, where are you going?"
Li Yong was about to speak, but he felt Nangong Chuxin's smell of alcohol and could not help but frown: "Go to the brothel!"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Chuxin did not have any unnecessary reaction, and passed by Li Yong, leaving only one sentence: "Tomorrow we will start preparing for the collection and payment of Suzhou and Hangzhou, don't lose the big for the small."
After saying these words, Nangong Chuxin took Guangxie and left.
Li Yong was a little surprised by the bland response. He looked back at Nangong Chuxin, but when the other party turned around and looked again, the annoyance in his heart was ignited like a burst of evil fire.
A man strode towards the nearest brothel without stopping.
In the quiet city of Yangzhou, only the brothels are still open for business and have customers.
Once entering the brothel, Geno's atmosphere finally returned.
It is rare for Li Yong to have such leisurely and elegant temperament, and in the past ten years, he has never relaxed for a moment.
Now, he doesn't have to hide anything, and naturally he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. He wants to call all the girls in the flower house and have a good time, but he also wants to see if that cold-faced woman will always be disdainful.
Gu.
It's a pity that Li Yong ran into a wall in the flower house. A wealthy family who didn't know where he came from had booked the flower house in advance. Now there is no free girl who can greet him unless he reveals his identity.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Yong chose to leave silently and went to another flower shop next door.
But the situation seemed to be similar to the previous one. The venue was also booked and no one paid attention to it.
After searching for several restaurants in a row, Li Yong unexpectedly found that all the Yangzhou Flower Houses seemed to be booked tonight.
This situation was obviously not normal, so Li Yong started to inquire about it, and after doing so, he discovered even weirder things.
The people being entertained in the flower house were all his own men.
That is, the group of masters he trained.
Li Yong found his people in a flower house and asked them about the reason. He also found that the people who were entertaining his men tonight were all wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou City.
There are wealthy businessmen from all walks of life, and their goals are simple.
Because these wealthy businessmen have already felt that the future of Yangzhou City will be decided by King Yong. If businessmen like them want to establish a foothold in Yangzhou in the future, they must look at the face of His Highness King Yong.
