Prostitution

It has been half a month since Xie Wancheng returned to the capital from Lou Yingshan.

Mrs. Wen recovered from the cold and the medicinal materials were almost ready, so Wen Wuyu set a departure date.

In the afternoon before departure, Xie Wancheng entered the city.He hesitated for a few days before deciding to say goodbye to Lian Qi.

After this trip, I don't know if I will come to the capital again, to get acquainted with each other for a while, and to say goodbye can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

Xie Wancheng guessed that he might not be there, and as expected, he saw Lian Qi driving back home at dusk.

He knew who was in the carriage, but he didn't care, and walked forward openly and frankly.

Lian Qi suddenly became vigilant, if Xie Wancheng wanted to use force this time, he would not stand idly by.

Yuan Cheng pushed the door and got out of the car, saw him and stood in front of the car.

"I'm here to find you." Xie Wancheng only looked at Lian Qi.

Yuan Cheng glanced lightly, turned around and went into the mansion without making a sound.

This is tacit consent.

Lian Qi jumped out of the carriage and handed over the reins to the attendant, "What's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it in another place." Xie Wancheng didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, so he walked away.

Lian Qi hesitated for a moment, then followed him away.

"I'm leaving." With few pedestrians around, Xie Wancheng said bluntly with Xu Bu.

"Oh." Lian Qi followed after a step, with a flat tone.

"He is him, and you are you. We met each other once, so we should tell you."

"Ah."

"If I really killed him last time, what would you do?"

Lian Qi looked at him dumbly, with a calm but firm tone, "Then we can only be enemies."

Xie Wancheng smiled silently.At that time, the situation seemed to be a moment of life and death, but in that moment, the situation of death was also unpredictable. Given the disparity in force, his chance of succeeding was not great.

After a while, Xie Wancheng looked sideways at him and started another topic,

"It's a pity I didn't have a good discussion with you."

When we first met, we had fought each other, but we got tired later on, and it became a pure fight of fists and kicks, and we couldn't tell the winner.

Lian Qi cast a glance, his voice remained flat, "Winning or losing is important to you?"

"It's not a question of winning or losing. It's interesting to compete with people who are comparable. There's no fun in winning or losing with one move." Xie Wancheng continued.

Maybe what he wants to say is that if you meet your opponent in chess, if you meet your bosom friend in mountains and rivers, the opponent can still be compared, but the bosom friend is a bit far-fetched.

Lian Qi Lei slapped his unchanging face, and slightly loosened, as if he wanted to laugh.

Xie Wancheng caught a trace of strangeness on his face, "I'm not right?"

"A fight that doesn't distinguish between life and death is a waste of energy. I don't understand what you mean by fun." Lian Qi immediately returned to normal.

Xie Wan let out a deep breath, and sighed deliberately, "You don't understand because you are bound in a world, and you don't know that there are mountains and rivers in the world, and the sunset is lonely."

Lian Qi raised his eyebrows, and his expression was slightly displeased. There was clearly a hint of laughing at him as a vulgar martial artist with no ink on his chest.

Xie Wancheng hurriedly explained, "The description in the book is only an imagination, and it is different from what you see with your own eyes."

Lian Qi was silent for a while, then said calmly, "I don't feel bound, and your so-called fun is not worth giving up your kindness to experience."

Xie Wancheng smiled dryly, "It's understandable that kindness is the most important thing. You should have been with him for many years, so you don't think about yourself. Besides, his martial arts are far superior to you and me, so there's no need for you to protect him every step of the way."

Lian Qi finally showed a smile, an obvious smile, which accepted his kindness.

Xie Wancheng's eyes lit up when he saw it. He really thought that this person couldn't laugh.

"The prince is good at martial arts, but he is soft-hearted. He almost died by your sword last time." After laughing, Lian Qi felt slightly ashamed.

Xie Wancheng's eyes darkened when he heard the words, "I admit, it's not because of Wuyu, I'm afraid I'll die more than once. But you say he's soft-hearted, I don't agree. How many people died in his hands? You should know better than me."

Lian Qi continued, "That's enough. He can kill without mercy, at least he won't be in danger."

Xie Wancheng was stunned. This kind of absolute self-righteousness, which does not distinguish between right and wrong and ignores crimes, is too appalling.He couldn't believe that these words came from Lian Qi's mouth. Could it be that in order to repay his kindness and protect the Lord, even his conscience can be discarded?

"If you soften your heart once, there will be countless times. In the past, it was impossible for you and He Pingzhang to leave the palace alive. Once a person's disposition changes, the variables of fortune and misfortune will not be certain."

Xie Wancheng was speechless for a moment.If that prince had killed Wuyu from the very beginning, then all the things that followed would not have happened.Even if killing people is like a hemp tree against the world, what can the people of the world do to him?He was still lying high above the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

Seeing that he was silent, Lian Qi imitated his words and asked,

"Am I right?"

Xie Wancheng shrugged and chuckled lightly,

"From your standpoint, it's probably right. But is this your real idea? Although I hate him, I don't want you to abandon him. I just hope you can make some plans for yourself."

The corners of Lian Qi's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't answer the question.After waiting for a while, he asked, "You go, will Mr. Wen also go?"

Xie Wancheng hesitated, thought for a while, and replied, "It doesn't make any sense for him to stay in the capital. For your prince's sake, you might as well switch places and think about it. Is there any possibility between them?"

Lian Qi didn't seem to be looking for information for his master, so he asked quickly, "You won't come to the capital again after you go?"

Xie Wancheng was stunned for a moment, but he thought too much, then he showed his white teeth in a smile, and glanced at him flirtatiously,

"That's hard to say. If someone thinks about me, I will still come to see him."

Lian Qi straightened his face and looked straight ahead.

Xie Wancheng laughed straight away, and if he didn't take back his embarrassing words, it would only get worse.

"I'm telling the truth. You are the only friend I have in this capital. Of course, if you want to, if you don't want to see me, why should I come back?"

Seeing that Lian Qi was staring straight ahead, as if he didn't listen, he pushed him with his elbow, "Do you think so?"

Lian Qi came back to his senses, blinked and asked blankly, "What are you thinking?"

Xie Wancheng curled his lips, making fun of it, and walked forward in frustration.

Lian Qi took a big step to keep up, and suddenly an arm stretched out to wrap around his shoulder.

Xie Wan was doubly surprised, her heart throbbed for a while, she turned her head to look at him, but saw Lian Qi lowered his face and said in a low voice,

"If you go here for sightseeing, you don't have to go back to this capital. If you go back to Louying Mountain, you won't be able to stay for a long time."

Lian Qi stopped when he said this, still didn't raise his face, his arms were cuffed tightly, not to mention his unusual appearance, he didn't look like him at all, he seemed to be hiding from someone, Xie Wancheng was not in a happy mood, Looking around, there were a few ordinary people here and there. On the other side of the street, there was a man who was practicing martial arts. He hurried past and turned into another intersection.

And Lian Qi immediately let go of his hand, and took two steps back.

The difference between before and after was too obvious, Xie Wancheng couldn't help noticing it, he asked in a frustrated voice, "Do you know that person?"

Lian Qi didn't answer right away, his brows were filled with thoughts, and after a while, he said, "It stands to reason that he and General Ling should join the army at the border, and I don't know why he is in the capital."

General Ling Xie Wancheng had heard Wen Wuyu mention it, but he had no intention of caring about the court affairs involved in Lianqi's words, and it was inconvenient to ask any more.

After walking for a while, seeing the sun was setting and it was getting late, Xie Wancheng left with a resentful face, "I should go back."

Lian Qi took out a bronze waist card and handed it to him, "If you come to the palace to find me in the future and take this belt card, someone will tell me."

Xie Wancheng raised his eyebrows with joy, holding the waist card that was still warm, and looked at it. There was nothing special about it, but Lian Qi's name was engraved on it, "This is your private property. How can you get in and out of the palace if you give it to me?"

Lian Qi's expression remained motionless, "I'll do another one. Now there are few people in the palace, and they are all familiar faces, so I don't need them."

The corners of Xie Wancheng's mouth froze, he put away his badge, and waved at him in a speechless manner, not even wanting to say that there will be a period of time afterward, and walked away into the afterglow of the setting sun.

Yuan Cheng buried his head in the study as usual.He commutes to and from the palace all day long, and is indifferent to everything except political affairs.Life was dull.In the past, the spirit is gone, just because things have changed and people have changed, the clouds and smoke will pass by and the past will eventually become the past.

Seeing Xie Wancheng this time, he had a vague premonition that Wen Wuyu was going to leave the capital, and he wanted to wait for Lian Qi to return home to ask, but on second thought, he gave up.

But as soon as Lian Qi returned to the palace, he went to the cabinet and knocked on the door to invite him in.

"master."

Yuan Cheng raised his eyes and acquiesced.

Lian Qi stepped into the door, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Wen Xu will leave in two days."

The tip of Yuan Cheng's pen froze, he sighed in disappointment and wrote again, sure enough...

Lian Qi didn't wait for the order, so he mentioned another matter,

"The subordinate just came back on the way and ran into Zhang Xuan."

Yuan Cheng's brows moved slightly, and he continued to write, "Who is Zhang Xuan?"

"General Ling's men returned to Beijing with us."

Yuan Cheng raised his eyes and thought, "Shouldn't he be at the border?"

"Yes." Lian Qi replied, "He was also the one who sneaked into the imperial guards and covered them."

This matter was proposed by Qi Mingxiu, and Lian Qi took it with him, so he remembered this person.

Yuan Cheng put the pen aside when he heard the words, and looked at him seriously, "Say it clearly."

Lian Qi was a little undecided, "I didn't seem to see him that day... outside the palace..."

Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure? There is no him in Shenwu Square?"

Lian Qi lowered his head a little.

The imperial guards outside the gate of the court hall can be seen at a glance, but they are a little far away under the jade steps. Later, when they surrounded the court hall, Lian Qi only glanced at them briefly, but did not recognize them in detail, and he was not fully sure to answer in the affirmative.

Yuan Cheng leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes were cloudy and cloudy, his brows were full of worries, and he listened to him for a while, "How did Tai Ju's group do the investigation?"

"The rhetoric has not changed, but a few said that the injuries were too serious and infected, and they died."

After hearing this, Yuan Cheng became more sad, and ordered, "You show them his portrait to identify, and you must ask the result as soon as possible."

Lian Qi took orders, exited the study and went out of the mansion again.

Yuan Cheng thought for a long time alone, even his fingertips trembled slightly.

Those one hundred people are the elite of Qi Jue's army, and they are good at martial arts other than concealment.And the soldiers who are good at hiding are often ugly, if you don't pay attention to it, it is really hard to remember, and some of them may have the art of disguise.

Of course he hoped that Master Wen's death was purely innocent and implicated, but what Lian Qi said this time had to make him think deeply.If Qi Mingxiu did it secretly, the reason is nothing more than fighting for wind, and the purpose can be imagined.And that reason really chilled him.

The next day.

The sky is clear and clear, which is a good day for traveling.

A spacious double-wheeled carriage was parked in the Wenzhai courtyard, and the medicinal materials should be properly packed.

Only goodbye.

Wen Qu's reluctance was all over his face, his eyes glistened, and his distorted facial features were filled with sorrow, with Wen Wuyu on the left and Mrs. Wen on the right, coquettishly, "Master, old lady, I...I can't bear you ..."

Mrs. Wen was in good spirits, she smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

But Wen Wuyu couldn't hold back his temper anymore, this guy has been moaning for a quarter of an hour, he kept acting coquettishly,

"Okay, how about we go together?"

Wen Qu nuzui, "What if I leave the restaurant..."

Restaurants are important, freedom is also important, Baiyun Guanshan highlands, must suffocate him to death.The 'choice' of whether to go or not has been 'discussed' as early as 800 years ago.

Wen Wuyu was very angry, gritted his teeth while smiling, "Diancui Building is our only source of income, you have a lot of responsibility, you know?"

"I know!" Wen Qu replied innocently and solemnly.

"If you are really so reluctant to let go, don't want Diancui Building, sell it at a low price. It doesn't matter if life is harder."

"This…"

Wen Wuyu took advantage of his hesitation and hurriedly led Mrs. Wen to the carriage.

Wen Qu finally compromised, sniffed, and leaned in front of the carriage, "Then remember to come back and see me."

Xie Wancheng hurriedly jumped into the carriage, "Yes, I will definitely come back to see you." He said and cast a glance at Wu Qu.

Here Wu Qu stepped forward, dragging Wen Qu back.

Xie Wancheng shook the reins, and the horse neighed and flew away.

"I really can't bear it..." Looking at the disappearing carriage, Wen Qu almost broke down in tears.

This is absolutely true.I think he has been talking to Wen Wuyu for five years, the savior needs to feed his parents, and his relationship cannot be false.However, the temptation of money is not small.

Wu Qu smiled, took him by the hand and got into another carriage, and went to Diancui Building to open for business.

Soon, a figure walked slowly along the dusty bamboo forest path.

Rao is in a comfortable and comfortable environment with lush vegetation, birds singing quietly, but the back view can hardly hide the loneliness.

"It's over!"
