Chapter 316 Chapter 319
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Young Master Zhong and I won't be separated until we die, it's been like that ever since I was young."

"What a gay friend..." Shen Mu thought to himself when he saw Xu Ziling's determined face.

Qin Shubao nodded and said: "Then divide them into two groups!" Then, he took out a small bronze mirror from his pocket, handed it to the two of them, and said, "This is a way to communicate by reflecting the sunlight, it's like a lamp at night. " Then he told the two how to communicate, and then said: "In three days, we will meet at the east gate of Pengcheng." He ran down the hill.

The two concentrated their attention, watching Qin Shubao gradually go away, and at the same time looking around to observe the enemy's tracks.

Unexpectedly, when Qin Shubao turned into a small dot on the edge of the plain, there was still no other half of him.

Shen Mu laughed and said: "It turns out that beautiful woman is just bluffing!"

Xu Ziling also relaxed, and urged, "Have you heard any good news yet?"

Shen Mu complacently held his mirror to the sun and issued a signal.

Qin Shubao in the distance was stunned for a while before continuing to escape, out of sight.

Shen Mu said: "It will be three hours before it gets dark, if we go to Pengcheng by the waterway, this move will be unexpected by Mrs. Shen."

As they said that, the two met a boat by the river, and they sneaked into the boat using the concealment technique of the longevity formula.

Wind lights were hung on the deck and mast of the big ship, but only half of the more than 20 cabin windows on the upper and lower floors facing them were lit.

Xu Ziling picked one of the dark cabin windows on the second floor and climbed in. When he passed one of the lit windows, a soft female voice came from inside.

The two young minds couldn't help but stop and listen.

The woman's voice suddenly sounded next to their ears and said: "Second brother, you'd better not persuade father, he has always been loyal to the court, uncle Duan has been persuading him for a long time, but won't he refuse to listen to half a word?"

The two were startled, only to realize that the woman with a beautiful voice had moved to the window, how could she dare to move a little bit.

Another young man's voice said distressedly: "Father is most reluctant to let go of the relationship with the Dugu family, but he doesn't know that Dugufeng is so treacherous and cunning, he sees us like a thorn in the eye. Now the world is chaotic, the people are angry, and the Turks are staring at us. There is nothing more to do. But we are sitting in Taiyuan, with sufficient sources of troops. The abundance of food and grass can eat him for ten or eight years. Now Yingyang sent Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi to join the Turks in the north. They raised troops against the Sui Dynasty and captured Loulan and Dingxiang, as long as we break Yanmen again, we in Taiyuan will bear the brunt of it. If father is still indecisive, he will only be tired by that stupid king in the end, and the boat will be overturned and everyone will die."

The two people outside the window were chilling when they heard it. Who are the children of the man and woman inside?The Dugu Clan and the Sui Emperor were directly involved, and he was so terrified that he dared not move.

This man's voice is full of vigor, needless to say he is a top-notch master.

The woman said softly: "Have you discussed it with your elder brother?"

The man said: "I don't know how many times I have said it, but he can't think of a way. Xiuning should know how terrible it is when Dad becomes stubborn."

Na Xiuning said: "If we start with Mrs. Dongming, father will listen to her most. Alas! If mother is not dead, it would be best if she persuades father."

The two outside the window were so startled that they almost dropped their hands and fell into the river.

They finally guessed that it was Li Fan's boat, so they dared not to eavesdrop any longer, and hurriedly climbed up again.

At this time, the conversation in the cabin suddenly stopped, but the two didn't pay attention to it.

The two opened the window and saw that there was no one in the room before climbing in. At this moment, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them glanced around and saw that this was a very large bedroom with gorgeous decoration.In addition to the bed and chairs, there is also a big box, which should be clothes.

The two moved to the box, and suddenly there was a "shush" sound from the window, which seemed to signal them not to make noise.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling immediately lost their minds and looked towards the cabin window in horror.

A black shadow came through the window soundlessly and stood in front of the two of them.

The two of them took a closer look and found that it was a Xuanwu youth who was only a little older than them. He was born with big ears and a mighty appearance. His eyes were like lacquer and he was energetic. The demeanor of perseverance can teach people to break their hearts.

Shen Mu and the two were slightly stunned when they saw the young man.

The young man said in a low voice: "This is Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan. The two brothers are very close to each other. I don't know Gao's last name?"

Unexpectedly, this person was Li Shimin, Shen Mu clasped his fists as a salute, and complimented: "The name Shimin is well chosen, saving the world and helping the people, maybe you will be the emperor in the future."

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said: "Brother, don't praise me, but there is indeed a story about the name, please sit down and talk, please?"

At this time, Li Xiuning's voice came from below: "Second brother! What's the matter?"

Li Shimin returned to the window and said in a voice: "I'll talk to you later!"

Turning around, the two sat down with a sincere and polite attitude.

The two vaguely guessed his intentions, and knowing that they couldn't break through the window guarded by him, they bit the bullet and sat down on the two grand master's chairs next to the wall.Because the body is still wet, it is quite uncomfortable.

Li Shimin smiled calmly, sat down on the chair by the window, and said: "When I was four years old, a good physiognomist came to my family. When he showed me a picture, he said to me, 'When I am twenty, I will be able to help the world and the people. ', my mother loved me the most at that time, so she changed my name to Shimin."

While talking, he took kindling and lit the oil lamp next to him.

Li Shimin wanted to order another batch of weapons from Mrs. Dongming because he led his people to Pengcheng this trip.

Two years ago, his father Li Yuan was transferred to stay behind in Honghua and knew the military affairs of Guanyou Thirteen Counties. In order to cope with Yang Xuangan's army, Li Yuan finally accepted his advice and bought a large number of weapons from Mrs. Dongming. Emperor Sui Yang didn't know about this. If it is leaked out and there is real evidence, it would indeed be an anecdote in the world that the suspicious Sui Yang Emperor conspired against Li Yuan.

The three talked at night with candles for a long time. After a while, someone walked by outside. After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Xu Ziling asked, "Whose room is this?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's my room. The next floor is for the female relatives. You should sleep well for a while, and I will wake you up when I arrive in Pengcheng at dawn. I have to go down and talk to my sister." Go through the window.

The next day, the boat docked outside the Pengcheng River, and the two of them got off the boat and stepped into Pengcheng, feeling quite full of ambition.They were wearing clean and tidy warrior uniforms, and the high-quality long sword given by Li Shimin was hanging on their waists. There was enough silver in their pockets. They had never tried such beauty since they were born.

Xu Ziling is tall and straight, elegant and handsome; Shen Mu is sturdy and mighty, with a heroic attitude.The two walked side by side, attracting envious eyes from time to time.

Shen Mu glanced around, inspecting the facades of restaurants on both sides of Linli Street, and said, "I didn't expect Pengcheng to be so prosperous and lively. The strangest thing is that there don't seem to be people who escaped. Look! Those girls are so pretty, ha!"

Xu Ziling saw that he was showing the smile he thought was the most attractive to a group of girls coming towards him, but the group of girls didn't avoid their eyes at all, and returned a more attractive smile.

It was the first time for the two to receive this kind of favor. After the girls left, they made a strange cry and turned into a large-scale restaurant on the right.

Dressed in clothes, when the two came to the second floor, the waiters greeted them attentively, the elder and the younger invited them to sit down on the table by the window facing the street.At this time, there were more than ten tables on the second floor, most of which were filled with guests.

Shen Mu tipped the buddy casually, and ordered wine and food.Excitedly said: "The noses of those sweet girls just now are very high, and the eyes are big and blue. They must be bearded girls. I heard that they are promiscuous, and they are easy to get started. Ha! Maybe you don't need to visit brothels this time. .”

Xu Ziling worried, "Why do you need two catties of wine? Do you know how to drink? I can only drink a little."

Shen Mu grabbed his shoulders and said, "Sing to wine, what a life! How can you not have fun."

He motioned Xu Ziling with his hand to look at the bustling street outside the window, and sighed: "Look! This world is so beautiful. We should drink some wine to celebrate with the beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day. You and I have never been drunk. How could he be considered a good man."

Xu Ziling stared blankly at the street with him, thinking of Li Jing and Susu, he felt a feeling that couldn't be relieved.He nodded and said, "Okay! One catty is one catty."

Shen Mu suddenly said in a low voice: "There is a handsome boy on the stage on the left, he keeps looking at you, it seems that he must like masculinity."

Xu Ziling looked around in astonishment, and sure enough, he saw three men sitting on a big platform close to the stairs, three or four platforms away, one of them was wearing green clothes and Confucianism clothes, he was very handsome, he was looking at them, and when he saw Xu Ziling looking over, he nodded and smiled .

Thinking of Shen Mu's words, Xu Ziling was taken aback, quickly avoided his gaze, and said in a low voice, "He seems to know us. Could it be another trap for Shen Luoyan? Don't forget that the three days of that woman will end tonight It's time for the bet!"

Shen Mu nodded and said, "I almost forgot. Have you looked at his throat?"

Xu Ziling was stunned and said, "What's so interesting?"

Shen Mu touched the core of his throat, and said with a low smile, "That kid couldn't be more handsome, and he doesn't have something like us, what do you think he is?"

Xu Ziling said in amazement: "Shen Luoyan didn't pretend to be!"

Shen Mu said: "It doesn't look like it, too bad! She's here."

Xu Ziling looked in surprise, and the scholar disguised as a man had arrived in front of them. What was particularly impressive was that apart from her "handsome" pretty face with the pair of smart big eyes embedded, there were two long legs underneath. , giving her an upright air when she pretends to be a man.

When the two looked at her in astonishment, they saw her showing a slight smile, clasped her fists and said in a deep voice, "We are brothers everywhere. The two brothers are very different from each other. I don't know Gao's last name, so that I, Li Zhi, can make friends. "

Shen Mu grinned and said, "My name is Zhang San, and his name is Li Si. If it's true that we are brothers everywhere, there would be no need for people to flee everywhere. Brother Qiao, please go back!"

He suspected that the other party was Shen Luoyan's second trap, so he rejected her immediately.

Xu Ziling took the opportunity to look at the two companions of "Li Zhi", and saw that they were real men with a sturdy figure, their eyes were shining brightly, and they wore long swords on their waists. They looked like bodyguards.

Li Zhi obviously didn't expect that Shen Mu would treat him so unceremoniously, his pretty face turned red and white, his eyes turned cold, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but as if he couldn't take it anymore, he gave Shen Mu a hard look, turned to Xu Ziling and said, "You are Li Zhi. Four? I..."

Xu Ziling abruptly cut her off and said, "Of course I'm Li Si. You don't have any sense of shame for being so openly flirting in public!"

Li Zhi's body trembled, his beautiful eyes shot out a murderous intent, but Yu Rong was surprisingly calm.

Shen Mu thought to himself, "Here we come", and put his hands on the hilt of the sword.

At this time, they believed that the other party was Shen Luoyan's person.

Li Zhi suddenly withdrew the light from his pupils, and said in a low voice, "Remember what you said to me."

After saying that, he walked downstairs, and the two middle-aged men hurriedly paid the bill and followed them. After the three of them left, the food and drinks were delivered, and they had no interest in thinking about her, so they leaned over their desks and began to munch.

The two drank to and fro, and after a while, the spirit of drinking rose, and they entered the world that alcoholics yearn for.

Holding the wine in his hand, Shen Mu said with a smirk, "The first glass was indeed spicy and unpalatable, but in the second glass it turned into fine wine, ha! The wine turns out to be so delicious."

Xu Ziling looked at the remaining half of the spirits, and surrendered: "A little drunk is enough, maybe Shen Luoyan will plot against Shen Luoyan after stepping out of the restaurant. Sigh! I really want to sleep now. Last night, the boy Li Shimin's foot pressed his Go to my place, I'm tired and I can't sleep well."

Shen Mu pressed Xu Ziling's shoulders, and leaned into his ear in a drunken state, "Why don't you just step into the biggest brothel here and find two most popular aunts to sleep with us. This is called today's wine, today's drunk, Come! Call the man, and let him give you all the detailed information about the local brothels."

Xu Ziling nodded happily, and was about to summon the waiter, when one of the two big men at the next table suddenly raised his voice a little and said, "Brother Zhang, if you have never been to Yihong Courtyard or seen the two men there when you came to our Pengcheng Auntie Hong, Baiyun and Qiuyan, don't count as having been to Pengcheng."

Shen Mu secretly thought that it would be such a coincidence again, so he was busy paying attention to eavesdropping.

Another person said: "Brother Chen is talking about Yihong Courtyard, which is one block to the left after falling off the street! How could I have never been there? But it is daytime, and the girls haven't woken up yet, let's talk about it tonight! Ha! Those girls are so beautiful that water drips out."

The one surnamed Chen said with a smile: "It's noon now, and the Yihong Courtyard starts entertaining guests at the end of the day, let's have a drink or two before going shopping!"

The two of Shen Mu stepped out of the restaurant, the autumn wind blew, and the alcoholism increased by two points. Shen Mu dragged Xu Ziling and walked towards the red courtyard for more than ten steps, then said in a low voice: "It seems something is wrong, the relationship between the two The answer came at the right time, as if we were afraid that we might not know how to get to the Yihong Courtyard, and explain it clearly. From my point of view, these two must be Shen Luoyan, and seeing that one plan failed, they made another plan."

Xu Ziling was glancing at the bustling scene of people and vehicles fighting for the road with his drunken eyes, and he was shocked when he heard the words: "You are right. Since Li Zhihui belongs to Shen Luoyan, these two guys may also belong to her. Alas! Where should we go now? It is better to find a place to hide first."

Shen Mu smiled lightly and said, "It's better to lean on the green instead of leaning on the red."

Suddenly, he turned to a passerby and asked respectfully, "May I ask this uncle, besides the Yihong Courtyard, is there any brothel with the largest scale and the most beautiful girls?"

The person who was stopped by him was a middle-aged scholar, who showed contempt when he heard the words, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and went away.

Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Are you asking where to take the imperial examination? To find a brothel, you must choose someone who looks like the second-generation ancestor, and you can tell at a glance that they are too drunk to ask. Look at me!"

Looking around, just in time, a gorgeous carriage stopped behind, and a young master Gui Jie came down, followed by two attendants.The young man was between 23 and [-]. He was handsome, but his face was a little unhealthy pale, as if he was weak, which was very suitable for Xu Ziling's "asking".

Shen Mu pushed Xu Ziling violently, Xu Ziling was so tired that he staggered two steps forward, and arrived in front of Mr. Guijie.

The two attendants immediately put their hands on the handles of their swords, showing a look of guard.

Xu Ziling braced himself, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully, "Young Master, I have something to ask, please don't blame me for being abrupt."

The young master looked him up and down with great interest, and said with a smile: "Brother, please tell me something."

Xu Ziling moved closer in embarrassment, afraid of being heard by others, and said in a low voice: "My two brothers want to know which brothel is the best besides Yihong Courtyard?"

The young master was taken aback, and Xuan showed a "like-minded" smile again, and sighed: "You are asking the right person. My father is the owner of a brothel, which is in the Cuibi Building on Hongyuan Street next door. In terms of scale and Girl, you can't even catch up with the horses in Yihongyuan. But it's still early, you go shopping first, and come when you are here. As long as you say that you are my friend from Xiangyu Mountain, I guarantee that no one will dare to take care of you. Dear brother, please, I There's still work to do."

After Xiangyushan left, the two of them walked along the street arm in arm, as if they had heard the sound of Lun, they just didn't sing loudly.

There are all kinds of shops lined up on both sides of the street, such as butcher shops, pancake shops, mountain goods shops, or cloth shops, noodle shops, fish shops, etc.

Due to the influence of two glasses of wine, the whole world became unreal, but the stone streets shone with a strange light under the high autumn sun.

Roads, houses, pedestrians, carriages and horses seem to be integrated into an inseparable whole, and there is no distinction between one and the other.

Shen Mu and the two were walking on the street, suddenly a figure flashed in front of their eyes, and the fragrant wind wafted over.

Shen Mu took a closer look and found that there was a pretty old woman standing in front of her, and said with a smile on her face, "Did the two young masters go the wrong way? That's the gate of Yihong Courtyard. We just started business , if the two young masters are the first batch of guests, our Hong sisters will definitely take care of them with special care."
