Oriole Line

With a smile on his face, he thanked Pu Chen, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.When he went to Zuixianlou to pick up Pu Chen just now, Wen Tao clearly said that Puchen was unwell, and Puchen was in a bad state at the time. Although everything returned to normal at the moment, Tang Yu still wanted to know what happened in Zuixianlou. He tentatively said : "Young master, what did King Chu do just now?"

Pu Chen said coldly: "I just want to get Pu's support to help him ascend the throne. My father has always opposed Yi Chu, how can I change my father's will?"

Tang Yu let out an "Oh", You were dissatisfied, looked at Pu Chen and said, "Then the young master was...drunk in Zuixian Tower just now?" Tang Yu wanted to hit himself on the head as soon as he spoke, if he was drunk How can I wake up after an hour.

Pu Chen looked a little unnatural and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the King of Chu used some tricks."

"What method?" Tang Yu grew up in Wuchang and had never seen Jiankang's intrigue. His eyes were bright and full of anticipation.

"It's late today, go back and rest." Pu Chen didn't mean to tell Tang Yu at all.

Tang Yu pulled Wen Tao and walked out, wondering if he could get some details from Wen Tao, but Pu Chen's voice came again: "Wen Tao stay."

Wen Tao sighed, Tang Yu gave him a sympathetic look, and silently exited the room.

"You are quite courageous." There were only two people left in the room, and Pu Chen stared at Wen Tao.

Wen Tao said: "I was thinking of the young master. Under the circumstances at that time, the young master was fascinated. If those women were allowed to serve the young master, the young master might not be able to hold himself back. It's probably going to spread."

"How do you know that I can't hold myself?" Pu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Although I've been poisoned by the fragrance, I'm not the kind of absurd person who doesn't know the importance."

Wen Tao seemed to be choked, thought for a moment and replied: "Even if the young master is still in his arms, if those women really take him to another room, no matter what happens or not, it is up to the young master." damaged reputation."

"So, your solution is to lie that I like the south wind? In this way, my reputation will not be damaged?" Pu Chen looked cold.

"The situation was urgent at that time. I just wanted to find a reason to hold back the king of Chu. I was in a hurry to obey the power. I hope the young master will forgive me." Wen Tao knelt down and said after a pause, "The Nanfeng Pavilion is in that area. The distance is relatively far, and one round trip is enough to drag for half an hour."

Pu Chen snorted softly: "It's thanks to you that you figured it out." He approached Wen Tao and looked at his face, "If Tang Yu didn't come at that time, are you going to hold the King of Chu in person?"

Wen Tao's pupils dilated slightly, recalling the scene at that time, feeling a little guilty for some reason, and said softly, "I dare not."

Pu Chen said: "I think you are very courageous. Not only did you arrange that I love the south wind, but you also plan to use your looks to hold back the King of Chu. I underestimated you before, and I think the King of Chu is quite interested in you."

Wen Tao lowered his head, he had to admit that there was something dangerous and crazy in his character, especially in a desperate situation.When he was dealing with the King of Chu, he was indeed keenly aware of the King Chu's obsession, and made use of this obsession.And many of his behaviors at that time were subconscious. Looking back now, he had to admit that what Pu Chen said was not completely unreasonable. He was indeed holding back the King of Chu with his lust.

"I hope that the young master will forgive me. I really... misbehaved at that time."

"Misconduct is not counted. If you hadn't been so procrastinating, maybe we wouldn't have been able to wait for Tang Yu." Pu Chen said coldly, "But you have to be clear, you are my personal guard now."

Wen Tao raised his head with a hint of puzzlement on his face.

"I know what you mean. That's right, we have an agreement. If you help me catch the man behind my father's death, I will let you go. But before that, you are my bodyguard. I My personal guards are not allowed to have anything to do with others."

"Yes……"

That night, Wen Tao couldn't sleep very well. Even though his floor was laid next to the charcoal brazier, the coolness in the air made it difficult for him to fall asleep.At the moment when he finally fell asleep, he remembered Pu Chen's hand that accidentally fell on his waist when he was intoxicated in the drunken fairy tower. Even through the middle coat, he could still feel the roughness of his palm and fingers , that is the hand that holds the weapon all the year round, with tiny itching and tingling, just like when Pu Chen strangled his neck that night in the execution room, the feeling rushed to his scalp in an instant, and he finally died overnight. Did not sleep well.

When Tang Yu came in the next morning, Wen Tao's dark circles were extremely heavy. Tang Yu once again gave him a sympathetic look, and he was very glad that he didn't have to be Pu Chen's personal bodyguard.

"What's the matter?" Pu Chen glanced at Tang Yu who was staring at Wen Tao.

Tang Yu hurriedly said: "Young master, the person who followed Cai Bo this morning has news!"

"Oh? But did you find out who is behind him?" Pu Chen immediately regained his energy.

Tang Yu shook his head: "The person behind it hasn't been found yet. But Cai Bo went out for a trip early this morning, and he went to Xikou Lane."

"Where is this?" Pu Chen was not familiar with Jiankang.

Wen Tao thought for a while and said: "Before I came to Jiankang, I carefully studied the layout of various places in Jiankang. Xikou Lane is a private house, and there are no aristocratic families living around it."

"That's weird." Pu Chen said, "Uncle Cai has been with my father for half his life, and he has always been loyal. If Uncle Cai betrayed Mrs. Pu and turned against us, he must be either rich or noble. How could he be in Xikou Lane? where?"

"It's odd here!" Tang Yu said quickly, "The one Cai Bo met in Xikou Lane turned out to be an ordinary family. The people who followed him chased all the way to the entrance of the alley. The next door went in. Because it was dark, the brothers who followed couldn’t see clearly.”

"What else did you find?" Pu Chen asked.

Tang Yu hesitated for a moment: "The brother who followed said that he heard a woman's voice in the room, and because of the distance, he couldn't hear it clearly."

Woman... Wen Tao thought quickly in his heart, and asked, "Does Cai Bo have a family?"

Pu Chen said: "Uncle Cai is the housekeeper brought by my mother as a dowry. I heard that he originally had a family, but his wife and children died of illness during the war in the last years of the Jing Dynasty. Later, he came to Pu's with his mother. Never had a wife."

"That's strange." Wen Tao frowned, "If she has no family, then what is the relationship between this woman and Uncle Cai?"

Pu Chen thought for a moment: "In any case, if there is no trick, Uncle Cai will not secretly go out to meet her in the early morning behind his back. Tang Yu, send some people to check this family carefully today."

"Let me go." Wen Tao took the first step, "Uncle Cai has done this in such a secret way, I'm afraid he might not be able to find anything by sending his general bodyguards." He looked directly at Pu Chen and raised his eyebrows.

Pu Chen understood what he meant in an instant. This incident probably has a lot to do with the people behind Uncle Cai. If the details of this family can be found out, the people behind Uncle Cai will be able to surface.Wen Tao is focused on fulfilling this agreement, so he is worried about other people going.His martial arts are higher than Pu Chen's other personal guards, and his strategy is also first-rate. It's good that he can go in person, but Pu Chen is inexplicably depressed. Does this person just want to settle the matter early and return to Guangling Academy as soon as possible?Wouldn't it be nice to be his personal guard? No matter how many people in Wuchang fight for it, they won't be able to grab it.

Pu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Okay, then you can go."

When he walked out of Puchen's room, Tang Yu said with concern: "Do you want to bring a few people with you? You can use the people under me as you like."

Wen Tao shook his head: "It's better to keep this matter secret, as there are too many people, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." After speaking, he took a big stride to the door.

Tang Yu said "Oh", and glanced at him from top to bottom, "Wen Tao, why are you in such good spirits? You have been guarding the night for two days, don't you need to take a break?"

"Hmm... night watch?" Wen Tao was still thinking about Uncle Cai, and dealt with it casually.

"Aren't you the young master's personal guard? You guarded it for two nights in a row, and you were still in Zuixianlou last night. Don't you really need to take a break before going?" Tang Yu said.

"No need." Wen Tao's expression was a little unnatural, "I didn't keep watch all night either."

"Not guarding?" Tang Yu's eyes widened, "Did you stay in the young master's room? There is no other bed in the young master's room?"

Wen Tao's mind is not here, but it is inconvenient to explain that he is currently pretending to be Pu Chen's personal bodyguard to test Cai Bo, so he can only perfunctoryly say: "Just take a nap in the middle of the night, and I am not too tired. I will change clothes first." Let's go." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Leaving Tang Yu standing in place even more confused, taking a nap in the middle of the night?Where do you nap?He tiptoed to the door of Puchen's room, opened half of the curtain and looked inside, there was no place suitable for napping in the huge room, but the young master's bed was very wide, more than enough to sleep two people...

"What are you doing sneakily!" Pu Chen's voice came from inside, stopping the thoughts of Tang Yu who was thinking wildly. Tang Yu stuck out his tongue and ran out.

15, 15.

Wen Tao changed into a coarse cloth blouse, and replaced his saber with an easy-to-hide dagger, and went out quickly.

Xikou Lane is located in the southeast corner of Jiankang. It is a row of one-story houses. The streets are narrow and potholed. The most ordinary civilians in Jiankang walk among them.When Wen Tao came to the entrance of the alley, he saw the bungalow Tang Yu mentioned from a distance, with white walls and gray tiles, hidden among hundreds of houses, it was inconspicuous at all.He walked over and saw that the door of the house was closed, and there was no sign on the door.He didn't dare to scare the snake, so he saw a breakfast shop not far away, so he sat down and ordered a bowl of wontons.It was still early, and there was only Wen Tao in the shop. When he saw the boss bringing wontons, he hummed a ditty boringly, and said, "Boss, the nearby
