Chapter 88 Borrowing a Knife

"You...what are you talking about? King Yan went to the Jiucheng Palace in Luoyang with the saint? Why...how could it be at this juncture..." Lady Tian froze when her daughter finished speaking.Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Shen, even fainted on the ground and became unconscious. The servants and mothers around her hurriedly helped them up, among those who were pinching people, the house of Mrs. Tian, ​​the third house of the Qiu family, was in a state of chaos. Mess up.

It's over, her brother can't be saved...

: "How could this be..." Lady Tian slumped on the armchair, staring blankly at her daughter in front of her.

Qiu Li was also very depressed, Li You was obviously to the point of giving her what she wanted.In the past, if she didn't contact him for a day, he would send the servants around him to give gifts and love poems.Why did he just follow his emperor Aye this time, without even saying hello to her.

"Li'er...could it be that Prince Yan saw that you were deliberately teasing him?" Lady Tian suddenly asked worriedly.

Qiu Li was shocked when she heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Absolutely impossible..." Qiu Li asked herself that she was very confident in her charm.Besides, she hasn't let him get it yet. According to Li You's tone, she will never let go of the fat that is about to reach her mouth.

Could it be that the uncle's case is really too serious, and Li You can't intervene?

I'm afraid that unconsciously, I gave him an impression of being ignorant and pampered.

An inexplicable anger rose from Qiu Li's heart.The gentleness and carelessness that I have been doing for so many days have all been in vain.She glared at her mother and aunt angrily, and said sharply: "It must be because my uncle caused too much trouble and made the prince embarrassed. Now it is good, not only is there no hope of saving uncle, I am afraid that even I will also be disappointed in the prince's heart." It’s not that I have nothing to fear. Hmph..."

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became, tears pooled in her eyes.

Lady Tian panicked when she saw this, and quickly persuaded her: "Li'er, don't cry first... The prince has a deep love for you, how could he neglect you just because of one thing? As long as you are humble, go and bow to him first ..."

"Ma'am!?"

Qiu Li's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth opened wide in surprise, and she looked at her mother as if she was looking at a monster.Is she still her own mother?Is she crazy?He actually said the idea of ​​letting himself put down his figure and kneel down for peace.Did she ever think that if she showed weakness and apologized first, even if she became the side concubine of King Yan in the future, she would end up like a dwarf?

Lady Tian also realized that she had said something wrong just now, so she quickly changed her words and tried to make up: "I said something wrong... I said something wrong... Don't be annoyed Li'er! The lady is wrong..."

Tears welled up in Qiu Li's eyes instantly, and she cursed bitterly: "You are crazy!" After speaking, she flung her hands and ran out of the room.

"Li'er...Li'er..." Lady Tian was sweating profusely, trying to catch up with her daughter to coax her.But helplessly, her legs and feet were too slow, and by the time she ran outside, Qiu Li had already disappeared without a trace.

Tian Jinlin's son, Tian Alang, also accompanied his mother to the Qiu Mansion today.At this moment, his face, who had been silent until now, suddenly darkened.He said in a low tone: "Wen Weixing, the ruin of my Tian family is all thanks to you! I will definitely make you regret it forever!"

************************************
In the east of the north gate of Pingkang Square in the middle of the night, there are three winding streets and alleys hidden.These three streets and alleys are distinguished by their orientation and are called Nanqu, Zhongqu and Beiqu respectively.This is the place where Chang'an city sings all year round and enjoys all night long.But compared with the luxury and elegance of Nanqu, the people gathered in Beiqu are mostly down-and-out talented people and people with rich life and money.

Tian Alang is no longer the rich young master who spent a lot of money.Since Aye was arrested and imprisoned, the situation of the Tian family has been deteriorating.Two-thirds of the servants and servants have been dismissed, and even the daily food and clothing expenses have been cut by the empress.If this continues, he probably won't even be able to pay for a drink in the brothel in the future.

Tian Alang poured the low-quality wine in his hand into his own mouth. The wine was really unpalatable, pungent, choking, and bitter.He couldn't hold back for a while, and spit out the whole mouthful of wine.

He wiped the corners of his lips, endured nausea and looked at the empty wine bottle in his hand, and said in a trance, "What kind of horse urine is this...it's so bad..."

Tian Alang's eyes moved to Nanqu, two streets away from the restaurant, where singing and dancing were still in full swing, and the makeup was fragrant.Lanterns of various colors illuminate the sky above Nanqu colorfully.

His eyes gradually blurred, as if as long as he saw the colorful night sky, he could go back to the happy days when he was hugging left and right, and the red was flying and the emerald dancing.

Suddenly, a strong man in black clothes and a bamboo hat sat across from his table.This person lowered his head, covering most of his face, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.

The burly man in black put an unopened jug in front of Tian Alang, and didn't say much, just said softly: "Please."

Tian Alang turned his head and stared at him for a while.He doesn't know this person, but if he comes here to sell drunks, it doesn't matter if he knows him or not, as long as he has alcohol!
He reached out to pick up the wine bottle, pulled out the cork, and a mellow and lingering smell of spirits came to his nostrils.

After drinking a few sips with his neck back, Tian Alang only felt comfortable and full of energy, and even felt a little bit drunk.

He squinted his eyes and said to the strong man in black with a smile: "Brother, good wine! I haven't had this kind of wine for a long time!"

"Come again." The strong man in black put another jug ​​of wine on the table, signaling him to continue drinking.

Tian Alang immediately took two more sips, and the wine flowed down his throat and down his esophagus, making him feel more refreshed.The strength of this wine made him feel ecstatic.He laughed loudly and said, "Good! Good wine!"

At this time, he was already half drunk, Tian Alang barely supported his body, tilted his head and looked at the big man who even invited him to drink two jugs of wine, thinking that this man was so strange, why did he invite him to drink for no reason?

Without waiting for him to ask, the big man in black took the initiative to speak: "You are Tian Jinlin's son, right?"

Tian Alang nodded, "You...you... how do you know?"

The big man in black was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "Do you want to avenge your father?"

Hearing this, Tian Alang's eyes that were originally hazy and drunk widened suddenly. He stared at the big man in black, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...what did you say?"

The big man in black didn't repeat what he said just now, he stood up and threw a bronze medal in front of Tian Alang.Said: "If you want to, take this sign tomorrow at noon and go to Dongshi Yan's Firm."

After saying this, he stood up and left without waiting for Tian Alang's reaction.

Leaving Tian Alang sitting on the stool in a daze, grabbed the sign on the table, saw a big character engraved on it, and murmured: "Yan..."
