"What did you say?" Ceng Zuimo looked up at Li Yi, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light. "Eighteen what?"
"Eighteen turns."
Li Yi looked at her and asked doubtfully, "Haven't you heard of it? Let me sing a few lines for you …"
He cleared his throat, and there was an explosive sound.
"Yo … the descendant of the mountain, love the sun!"
"Clang!"
In the kitchen, Xiao Cui, who was washing the dishes, was scared out of her wits by the sudden shout outside. The bowl she had just washed fell to the ground and shattered.
In the courtyard, Ceng Zuimo's face darkened. Before Li Yi sang the next line, she decisively covered his mouth.
"This is a folk song from our hometown. It seems a little wild and not suitable for you to sing." Li Yi gasped. He was almost choked to death by her just now.
"Isn't your hometown in Qing 'an Prefecture?" Ceng Zuimo glanced at him.
"I'm talking about … the hometown in my dream. Oh, that's not important …" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "How about I teach you two songs from my hometown? One is called 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style' and the other is called 'Little Apple'. Listen to it, it's quite nice …"
This time, Li Yi's mouth was covered before he could even make a sound. He was a little regretful. If the middle-aged women in this world also danced in the square, he would definitely build a few more big squares in the capital for free.
Ceng Zuimo looked at him and asked with some anger in her tone, "Didn't you say that Xinyi and Bing Ning are the children of your relatives?"
The two little girls were gone, and Miss Zeng was not even willing to sing. It was time to reflect on herself.
"Yes, the surname Li is one family in the world. Within 500 generations, there must be some relatives."
Li Yi thought this explanation was perfect.
Zeng Zuimo glared at him again. After coming back yesterday, she recovered from the shock and thought about it carefully. Naturally, she could understand why Li Yi had concealed their identities. But yesterday in the Drunken Moon Tower — she was really scared, and naturally had some complaints about him.
Xiao Cui did not even dare to sleep alone last night. She spent the whole night asking her if they would be arrested because she had pinched the princess's face. Would they punish her for being disrespectful?
Of course, there were other reasons for her anger. Xin Yi … Princess Yong Ning's words had disturbed her for many days, but Xin Yi didn't say anything, as if nothing had happened. In fact, she had been suppressing her anger recently.
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry. The princess is not that scary. She will still be the same as before. Just pretend that you don't know anything about this."
Ordinary people had a natural fear of the royal family. If they were to be punished for being disrespectful to the royal family, then even if they had a few hundred heads, it would not be enough to chop them off.
Instead of worrying about this, it was better to worry about whether that damn pervert Qin Yu would secretly play some tricks.
But thinking about it, it was not very likely. He heard that in front of the palace gate yesterday, he was beaten unconscious on the spot. Li Yi guessed that the old emperor had held back. Otherwise, the Qin's Residence would be preparing for a funeral today.
As for the other good-for-nothings, including that Royal Prince Duanyang, they wouldn't be able to do anything for the next ten days to half a month. Now that they had all been dealt with, it was likely that the capital would be much quieter in the near future.
As one of the "Three Heroes of the Capital", he was still very competent and inadvertently did something practical for the common people.
However, this kind of thing was hard to guarantee. Who knew what the bottom line of those bastards was? The security around the small courtyard still needed to be strengthened. The current situation was no longer the Willow Leaf Stockade. Not to mention the subordinates of Miss.Liu, just the number of experts recruited from the brothels was already uncountable. They spread out like a net in the capital. As long as one side made a move, countless people would gather in a short period of time.
These things were all done by Lu Luo. He was familiar with the jianghu and had a high prestige. In addition, he alone accounted for more than 90% of the intelligence of the two brothers. He could be said to be extremely intelligent and rarely made mistakes. All the affairs were arranged in an orderly manner. Many accidents or sudden incidents could also be handled with a strong hand. Miss.Liu had never been convinced by anyone, and he was one of them.
Otherwise, with Miss.Liu managing the many matters of the Hero Ranking with passion, it would not take long for the whole thing to collapse.
"Don't rush to expand the shop. If there are smart people under you, you can train them in the direction of a shopkeeper or a manager. Of course, the foundation must be clean. Don't let Ruoqing run around all day. There is no end to the work …"
"Got it …" Zeng Zuimo waved her hand impatiently, as if she wanted to see him off.
She was a little strange today. Li Yi counted the days and calculated a little, and he didn't find it strange anymore.
He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Zeng Zuimo waved her hand again, stood up, and walked into the house.
Li Yi sighed. When he walked out the door, Fang was already squatting beside him, waiting.
Seeing Li Yi come out, he stood up. "Young master …"
"Don't talk …" Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand, got into the carriage, and said, "Let's go around the city."
At this time, it was still early before dark. Ruyi and the others would probably return in two to four hours. He would go to the brothel and some shops in the capital from time to time.
At the door of a brothel in the city, when Li Yi got out of the carriage, another carriage happened to pass by. The elegant young man in the carriage was holding a thick book in his hand and reading it attentively. The carriage slowly drove through a few streets until there were fewer people on the street, and it stopped in front of a high door.
The servant at the door was about to go forward to ask, but when he saw the sign on the carriage, his face froze. He immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
The young man got out of the carriage, waved his hand, and asked, "Is Prime Minister Qin in the residence?"
"He just returned." The servant quickly said, "Your Highness, please!"
…
…
"Your Highness, have you been reading these days?" After a servant served tea, Prime Minister Qin looked at the king and asked.
The king said with a smile, "In the past two months, I have been lying in bed with nothing to do, but I have read a lot. Now I am used to it, and I can't put it down for a while."
"It's good to read more." Prime Minister Qin nodded and said, "However, even if it's reading, you need to focus on something. Your Highness should learn more about the mind of an emperor and the way of governing a country. I will send someone to send a few books to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Qin." The king cupped his hands and thanked him.
Prime Minister Qin's face showed a thoughtful expression. He paused and said, "I know that Your Highness has a grudge against the Earl of Chang 'an County, Li Yi. However, he is a talented man. If he is willing to assist you, he will definitely be your greatest help in the future."
"It's not a big deal to be young and impetuous. I was also young once. Those who achieve great things never care about trifles. I hope Your Highness can let bygones be bygones. As for the Earl of Chang 'an County, I will fight for it for Your Highness. What do you think?"
This was the second time that Prime Minister Qin had mentioned this to the king of Shu. After a moment of shock, the king's face lit up and he said, "In the past two months, I have been thinking about it and felt a lot of emotions. That's exactly what I wanted to do. Thank you, Prime Minister Qin!"
Prime Minister Qin nodded and a hint of relief appeared on his face.
The king of Shu suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I've heard about what happened yesterday. Brother Qin Yu, he …"
"He didn't sleep last night and just fell asleep." Speaking of this matter, Prime Minister Qin's face showed disappointment and disappointment again.
The king of Shu cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll visit you in two days."
"Your Highness, if you have nothing to do these days, you might as well pay a visit to the families of generals and other officials' mansions. After all, there are some things that even I don't have the right to do."
"I understand."
…
…
"Well, Prime Minister Qin, you don't have to see me out."
At the gate of Qin's Mansion, the king of Shu bowed to Prime Minister Qin again and turned to get on the carriage.
"Fortune or misfortune, Your Highness has really grown up this time …" Prime Minister Qin said softly and turned to step into the mansion.
Inside the carriage, the king of Shu had a faint smile on his face.
After a while, the smile on his face disappeared and a strange light flickered in his eyes. He asked, "Have you found out the details of those two women?"
"Your Highness, I have." A voice came from outside the carriage.
The king of Shu smiled again and unconsciously rubbed his fingers. He picked up a book beside him and read it attentively.
