"Today, in this Drunken Moon Tower, we are holding a banquet for you. The banquet is a little shabby. I hope you don't mind."
In the first room of Drunken Moon Tower, a luxuriously dressed young man raised his glass to the handsome young man opposite him.
"Although I live far away in Chuzhou, I know that this Drunken Moon Tower is not shabby. Besides, we are all on the same side. Xi Xin, you are welcome." The young man waved his hand and took a sip of wine. He turned to the person next to him and asked, "When we were in Chuzhou, I heard that Brother Qin was unwell. How are you now?"
"I am fine." Qin Yu cupped his hands and said.
Recently, he had just recovered. According to the doctor's advice, he should focus on recuperation and should not be too active. However, Duanyang's identity was special. Among his peers, someone of similar status had to come out to greet him. Chen Lijun and Cui Chengyu were busy, so he was the only one left.
The young man smiled and said, "With your identity, you should take more guards with you when you go out in the future."
Qin Yu nodded. He was used to being domineering in the capital and no one dared to stop him. Who would have thought that he would encounter what happened last time? After this incident, he had greatly increased the number of guards to avoid encountering strong people in Jianghu like last time.
At this moment, there were about ten young people at the banquet. Among them, Little Duke Qin and Duanyang were the leaders. Duanyang was the son of King Hui. His mother was the legitimate daughter of the Cui family and the younger sister of Concubine Cui. Therefore, he had a close relationship with the Cui family and the King of Shu.
The young man looked at Qin Yu and asked, "Have you seen Brother King of Shu these days?"
"His Highness has closed the door of his mansion since he came out of the palace." Qin Yu shook his head and said.
"Although I'm not in the capital, I've heard about what happened to the King of Shu. Who exactly is the county magistrate of Chang 'an? How could he be so free and unfettered when he offended his superior? What's going on?" Speaking of this matter, Royal Prince Duanyang's face showed a hint of sternness.
He only had a general idea of this matter, but he did not know the details.
The people at the banquet looked at each other. Speaking of which, half of the people present had the most direct impression of who that County Magistrate Li was.
Every time he thought about the matter of the academy's enrollment, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Then, then he's a complete lunatic," one of them said through gritted teeth.
It was more suitable to describe County Uncle Li as a madman than to describe Young Duke Qin.
Putting aside the fact that he had beaten up a prince in public, he was the only person in the history of the country who could force His Majesty and all the officials to submit even though he was recruiting students for the Academy. He had neglected his duties for personal reasons and openly targeted the King of Shu's faction.
Even though they'd managed to get a spot in the end, the price they'd paid was huge. Of course, this involved deeper matters, and it wasn't something they could participate in.
No one present dared to provoke that person.
After all, who would dare to provoke a lunatic who had intermittent hysteria, who could act up at any time, and who would not be severely punished even if he beat up a prince?
It was said that even the Princess Royal, who was always with him, had contracted intermittent hysteria …
Of course, these speculations were not suitable to be voiced out now.
Qin Yu lowered his head and drank his wine. When he heard the name "Li Yi" to Royal Prince Duanyang, there was no expression on his face, but a trace of haze appeared in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, someone came in from outside. A young man dressed as a servant walked over quickly and said a few words in Qin Yu's ear. Qin Yu suddenly turned around and looked at him. After a moment, he stood up from his seat with an extremely gloomy expression.
"Young Duke Qin … What's wrong?"
Everyone was surprised and also stood up one after another.
…
…
"Why hasn't she come yet?"
The dishes on the table were almost served, but because Eldest Miss Zeng hadn't arrived yet, Li Yi and the two little Lolis hadn't moved their chopsticks. She took a sip of tea and looked outside in confusion.
"Yes, when will Elder Sister Zeng come? I'm starving …" The proud Lolita covered her stomach to protest.
"If you keep eating like this, you're going to get fat." Li Yi kindly reminded her.
She was the emperor's most beloved princess and had lived a luxurious life since she was a child. Now that she was out of the palace, she couldn't control her mouth and wanted to taste anything delicious …
"How is that possible? I practice martial arts with Imperial Sister every day …" The proud Lolita looked indifferent. Then, she seemed to remember something and looked at Li Yi angrily and asked, "What's wrong? If I get fat, you won't want me anymore? I'm telling you …"
"Stop, stop, stop …" Li Yi had a headache and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't say such things in front of your Imperial Father and Imperial Mother."
The unconvinced proud Lolita wanted to say something more, but the door was suddenly pushed open. Zeng Zuimo walked in with a flustered expression and said, "Quick, let's go!"
The proud Lolita and Yong Ning were the first to be pulled up by her and quickly walked out of the door. Li Yi also stood up curiously.
The proud Lolita shouted as she walked out of the door, "Hey, don't go. We haven't eaten a bite yet … there's still a beggar's chicken not served!"
The grey-robed elder standing at the door stopped the woman who was holding the two princesses. From the room on the side, a figure walked out.
Then two, three, and more than ten people walked out.
Zeng Zuimo's face was pale as she protected the two little girls behind her. Xiao Cui stood beside her. When she saw the man walking in front of the crowd, there was no trace of blood on her pretty face.
"It's over." She thought in her heart.
"They are …"
Royal Prince Duanyang looked at the woman in front of him and a trace of amazement flashed through his eyes. However, if it was only because he liked this woman, Qin Yu shouldn't have such a big reaction.
After all, it was well-known that his hobbies were different from others.
Qin Yu covered his chest with one hand. It seemed that he felt pain again, but more shame. A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Two ladies, what a coincidence."
Zeng Zuimo pushed the two little girls behind her, and her heart completely sank.
Young Duke Qin. She didn't expect that there would be a day when she would see him again, and on such an occasion.
That day, she and Xiao Cui disguised themselves as men and hurriedly escaped from the scene. After finding Wan Ruoqing, they changed into women's clothes. Later, she learned that Young Duke Qin was beaten in the street. The matter was very big, and the whole city was searching for the perpetrator. At that time, she was actually also nervous. It was not until later, when the matter gradually subsided that she and Xiao Cui were relieved.
However, she never thought that she would be recognized like this today. Thinking of the other party's power and background, her body trembled and she couldn't help but take a step back.
After that, she felt a hand patting her shoulder.
Li Yi walked out of the room, and when the mocking smile on Qin Yu's face froze, he spoke with a smile.
"Yes, it's really a coincidence … Young Duke Qin."
Crash!
At the same time that Li Yi took a step forward, several people on the opposite side couldn't help but take a step back.
Li Yi, County Uncle Li, who had long been famous in the capital, was likely to go crazy and kill people on the spot — who didn't know him? Who wasn't afraid!
"Who is he?" Royal Prince Duanyang looked around, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face as he asked.
"He is Li Yi …"
Someone said with a complicated expression, "County Uncle of Chang 'an — Li Yi."
