Chapter 442: Drunk Ribs? Visit
The lights in the hall lit up again, and the guards of the royal palace saw the dead King of Shu.
The group of assassinating singers and dancers were gone.
The fragrance of their bodies seems to remain in the air, telling everyone that they have indeed existed.
The King of Shu died and the assassin fled.
If the assassin is not caught, the guards of the royal palace will be in great trouble.
When the news came into the palace, the eunuch dared not to report it, so he had to wake up the emperor who had already rested and report it: "Your Majesty, the King of Shu was assassinated."
"Who did it?" the emperor was furious.
"It's a group of singing and dancing girls." The eunuch replied.
"Catch people and be questioned severely."
Rushi, who had just been quiet for a few days, had something to do again and arrested people everywhere in the city, which caused panic again.
The emperor who died of his son would be even more unlikely to summon Li Haoyang, who would cause trouble for him.
"The Xuanshi's talent inquiry and expelling ministers was even more incompetent. It was a pity that the seat in front of me was empty in the middle of the night, and I didn't ask the people about ghosts and gods." Li Haoyang said goodbye to Gong Jiuxian.
"His hero Li has something to say to the emperor?" Gong Jiuxian asked.
"There is nothing to say." Li Haoyang smiled, "Why should I be a capable minister, but why should I be a lucky minister?"
Gong Jiuxian smiled, "I have some ideas."
Li Haoyang pondered for a moment, "June Wu?"
"It's true that I can't hide it from Hero Li." Gong Jiuxian admitted.
"Be careful and do your own things." Li Haoyang warned him, left the Four Barbarians' Hall, turned over and rode his horse, and left.
After Li Haoyang left, Gong Jiuxian entered the palace to report to the emperor.
"You are doing this well." The emperor said with satisfaction.
Gong Jiuxian replied respectfully: "It is the duty of a minister to share your worries for Your Majesty."
"You go to Dali Temple to ask about the assassination of the King of Shu." The emperor ordered.
"Yes." Gong Jiuxian led the emperor's oral order to Dali Temple.
When he goes to Dali Temple, he can put pressure on others, sell favors, and make friends with others.
If you win numbers in one fell swoop, why not do it?
What happened in the city did not affect Li Luotang who lived in the villa.
Gu Tingqiu learned from Gong Jiuxian where Li Luotang was going, so he naturally had to go to the village to confirm whether Li Luotang really had to be on the village.
In fact, Gu Tingxian was not very willing to let Li Luotang live in Gong Jiuxian's village, but in his current situation, he had no place to settle Li Luotang, so he could only swallow this depression.
When Li Luotang saw Gu Tingxian, he was happy and pulled him for a walk in the village, "How is it?"
"Everything went smoothly." Gu Ting reported good news but not bad news.
"Is there something wrong, do you need my help?" Li Luotang asked.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you... how are you?" Gu Tingxian said to his lips and changed his words.
Li Luotang blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at him, and asked with a smile: "I'm fine, where are you?"
“I’m fine, too.”
Li Luotang approached him, "Do you miss me?"
"Yes." Gu Ting paused, "Do you... miss me?"
A sly smile flashed in Li Luotang's eyes, "No, I eat well and sleep well, so I don't miss you."
"I don't believe it." Gu Tingxu said.
Li Luotang smiled sweetly, "Yes, I miss you, it's like three autumns after not seeing you for a day."
Gu Tingxian was about to say something, but the crazy woman ran over with flowers, "Brother Tian, I'll give it to you. Is the flowers beautiful?"
"Good-looking." Li Luotang took the flower, too lazy to correct her wrong name, "Thank you, Meimei, go and have fun."
The crazy woman screamed happily, waved her hand and ran away.
"Who is she?" Gu Ting asked in a hurry.
"I met her on the street. Seeing that she was pitiful and knew Brother Tian again, I took her in. In the city, someone wanted to kidnap her, so I moved outside the city."
"Do you want to take her to Xi'an?" Gu Ting asked in a hurry.
Li Luotang told Gu Tingxian some of the things revealed in the crazy woman's crazy words, "If Mrs. Xiang really harmed her, I would send someone to the Tian family, wouldn't it be a sheep that could get into the tiger's mouth?"
"Your scruples are right."
"When the matter in Beijing is settled, we will take her to Xi'an and hand her over to Brother Tian. Let Brother Tian have a headache about the matter of the Tian family."
"It's almost the fifth day of the fifth month, and we are still trapped in Beijing. Brother Tian and his second brother are waiting for us in Xi'an for a long time. When they hear the news, they may come to Beijing."
"That's better. When he comes, I don't have to take people to travel thousands of miles. It's really worry-free and labor-saving."
As the two of them spoke, they walked to the edge of a bamboo forest.
A voice of a person sniffing in the forest, "Ahhh...oh..."
Li Luotang turned around and asked, "Is there a opera troupe in the village?"
Mingcui, who was following not far away, replied, "There are a few in the village, not as many as in the mansion. I can only arrange a simple small opera to sing. Master, but I want to listen?"
"When you have lunch later, let the singing Qingyi and Huadan sing together." Li Luotang smiled, "Is that okay?"
"Listen to you." Gu Ting looked at Li Luotang with pampering eyes.
At noon, Gu Tingqing accompanied Li Luotang to the front hall of the village for dinner.
Mingcui brought in two little actors who sang Qingyi and Huadan and asked them to sing a passage for each of them.
Qingyi sang "Locking the Case·Chunqiu Pavilion", "The wind and rain outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, where is the sad sound broken and lonely? I saw a sedan chair through the curtain, probably because of the newlyweds crossing the Magpie Bridge..."
The Huadan sang "The Matchmaker", "I asked Zhang Sheng to hide under the chessboard, I came step by step, I climbed you step by step, boldly swallowed your anger and stopped being scared, and you can see her after following my little matchmaker..."
Amid their beautiful opera, Li Luotang was eating drunken ribs carefully cooked for her by the chef.
Fry the golden ribs, drain the oil, put them in a bowl, and pour them with drunken juice.
The ribs are fragrant and intoxicating.
The drunk juice is sweet and sour, and the crispy pork with pork ribs is excellent and has endless aftertaste.
After the meal, Li Luotang sent Gu Ting out of the village, "No matter how busy it is, you have to eat on time. I don't want to see you who is as thin as a child next time."
"I understand, I will eat on time for three meals a day." Gu Tingqing replied seriously.
"When doing things, be careful and don't let people plot." Li Luotang knew that Gu Tingqing was steady in his behavior, but he still couldn't help but remind him.
"I will be careful." Gu Tingyi turned over and said, "I'm leaving."
"Remember to come to see me if you have time."
"Okay." Gu Ting slapped his horse and left.
Three miles away from the city, Gu Tingqing met Shen Junyu and Shangguan Shanshan who came up from another road, "Fifth brother, Miss Shangguan."
Shen Junyu looked at Shangguan Shanshan suspiciously, "Miss Shangguan?"
Shangguan Shanshan never expected that her identity would be exposed, "I said he called the wrong person, do you believe it?"
"What do you think?" Shen Junyu asked with a smile.
Shangguan Shanshan smirked, "You definitely don't believe it."
"What do you don't believe in?" Gu Ting asked suddenly.
Shangguan Shanshan glared at him, "I don't know how Yiyi fell in love with you?"
The thin-faced Gu Tingqiu couldn't answer this question, pretending not to hear it, "Fifth brother, I came to Beijing after hearing the news of something happened in Yongning Marquis' Mansion."
