After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 21

The city of lights is like daylight.

Xie Tangru sadly pushed aside a lotus lantern with tassels hanging down, he really couldn't understand how such a big man as King Cheng came out with him.

I can only find another chance to get rid of him.

...There seems to be an acquaintance ahead.

Xie Tangru paused, and raised his hand to gesture to Shang Qingyao. Shang Qingyao followed his gaze and saw that there was an empty space in the middle of the bustling street. With his chin down, he looked down at the young man kneeling on the ground.

The young man's clothes were simple, and he didn't have any valuable accessories on his body. The fingers of his right hand curled up abnormally, twisting into a strange arc, as if they had been broken by someone.

Xie Tang suddenly realized.

This is what Shang Qingyao mentioned before, the down-and-out son who was forcibly robbed by Xue Ciyi, the governor of Yuzhou.

Xie Tangru also lamented at the time that she is really a tiger father without a dog girl. The governor of Yuzhou, this precious daughter, has won the true biography of her father-both are experts in robbing good families.

The young man kneeling on the ground had a straight back and a proud character, but it was this character that made Xue Ciyi even more unhappy.

The whip was whipped hard, and the young man dodged sideways, passing close to his flesh and blood, and the strong wind brought bloodstains.

"Shen Yu!"

Xue Ciyi scolded angrily.

Hearing the name, the young man lowered his head and did not respond, but Xie Tangru's gaze slowly changed.

Shen Yu.

Isn't this the protagonist from a poor family in Taoist Zhang's storybook, the one who compared Xie Tangru to nothing in other people's words?

There is no mention in the scriptures that the proud son of heaven has such a tragic past of being abused by others.

Is it the same name?

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, and the expression in his eyes was unpredictable, and he immediately denied this guess.

Yuzhou native, born from a poor family, with a handsome appearance, was the candidate of the last scientific examination during the reign of the late emperor, and added the name Shen Yu.Even if nothing else is considered, the person who perfectly meets these conditions is one in a million.

Shang Qingyao looked at him: "Are you interested in him?"

This "he" refers to an unknown person, and for a moment it is unclear whether it is the governor's daughter or the poor boy who is under her feet.

Xie Tangru didn't answer, and walked straight over.

"Miss Xue."

Xue Ciyi turned her face around, seeing that it was him, her expression softened a little, "It's you."

She has a voice as sweet and pure as the oriole of Chugu, provided that the blood-stained whip in her hand is ignored.

She tilted her head, saw the man with extraordinary bearing behind Xie Tangru, guessed that this was the King Cheng, and raised a smile: "Are you playing with His Highness Cheng Wang? Yuzhou is very lively at night! There are many places worth visiting After passing the Lantern City in front, there is a very famous marriage bridge in our place. As long as men and women walk across the bridge, they can form a loving couple. I was going there too—but this guy is disobedient—— "

Xue Ciyi lowered her head and gave Shen Yu a dissatisfied look.

"Are you still awake?"

She frowned in disgust, as if she was tired of Shen Yu's behavior for embarrassing her in front of Xie Tangru.

Shen Yu stood up slowly, walked behind Xue Ciyi with her head down.He has a gloomy temperament, and he is not the same person as the high-spirited person described in the scriptures.

I don't know if it was Xie Tangru's illusion, it seemed that when he got up, Shen Yu took an extra look at him.

It's not a kind look.

Xie Tang smiled playfully, and continued to chat with Xue Ciyi, "Why didn't Ms. Xue go to Marriage Bridge?"

Sure enough, that seemingly invisible line of sight cast over again.

Xie Tangru had a deep smile on her lips.

Xue Ciyi has always been more patient with good-looking people, she pouted, "Because I met someone who made me unhappy, so I don't want to go."

"So that's how it is." Xie Tangru didn't ask further, and after nodding with Xue Ciyi, the two people staggered and disappeared into the vast night.

He didn't intend to show too much interest in Shen Yu in front of Shang Qingyao.Firstly, his public identity is still a woman, Xue Ciyi is very concerned about Shen Yu, he doesn't want to cause more trouble; secondly, Shang Qingyao is still his number one vigilance target, it is only natural that he should be more cautious when dealing with opponents.

He looked at Shang Qingyao, and said softly: "This Miss Xue is not afraid of your majestic prince at all."

"Why do you have to be afraid of me?" Shang Qingyao asked back, "You have never been afraid of me."

"No. I'm afraid of you." Xie Tangru twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a hypocritical smile.

Of course, the two of them didn't go to the Marriage Bridge in the end-it would be too strange for the two of them to go to that kind of place.

Xie Tangru found an excuse to drag Shang Qingyao to a crowded place, taking advantage of the crowd to escape.Shang Qingyao's martial arts skills are superb, but it is not easy to find Xie Tangru who is deliberately hiding in such a crowded place.

The smile on his face faded a bit.

Xie Tangru threw him away on purpose.

.........

In the private room of the restaurant, Xie Tang listened to the report of his subordinates with a sinking face.

One is that the current commander of the Imperial Forest Army was once favored by King Cheng, so that he was able to save his life from the party struggle.If Xie Tang had expected this, it was not a surprise.

The other is the deposed prince who was finally remembered after he left Beijing for a long time. His Royal Highness waited for him all night, and fell ill after returning. Many imperial doctors were invited, but they were ineffective. In the end, a little-known medical girl cured him. he.

His Royal Highness was very grateful when he woke up, and decided to marry the medical girl to repay his kindness to the side concubine.

Xie Tangru's expression was very strange after hearing this.

The way to repay the favor is to marry someone as a concubine?

According to the law of this dynasty, except for the prince and concubine, none are included in the royal genealogy. After death, they cannot be buried with the prince, and the children born can only be called the concubine as the mother.Moreover, the number of side concubines is not fixed, as long as the prince wants to, it doesn't matter if he has seventeen or eight side concubines.

Therefore, Xie Shizi really didn't understand whether His Royal Highness was repaying favor or revenge.

"But that girl didn't agree." The dark guard finished the last sentence, "In addition, His Royal Highness, together with the governor of Yuzhou, set up a murder plan against King Cheng in the city. Do we need—"

The dark guard looked at him.

Xie Tangru held the fan and tapped on the table.

King Cheng obviously didn't plan to enter the capital immediately. The situation in the capital was already in chaos, and he just needed to reap the benefits when the time came.Yuzhou is very close to the imperial capital, and if it gets any closer, King Rong and King Duan will feel the crisis and join forces to deal with him.

It is the most favorable situation for Shang Qingyao to stay in Yuzhou now.

But it was of no benefit to Xie Tangru.

Sure enough, compared to King Rong and King Duan, Shang Qingyao was the opponent he needed to fear the most.

"Act by chance."

.........

Midday on the moon.

The window was pried open from the outside, and an agile figure jumped in, walking to the bed in the dark.

The cold blade flashed coldly, and he grabbed the sharp dagger and stabbed it towards the bed.

Before he could fall down, he was cut in mid-air. He was startled and wanted to pull back the force, but the dagger didn't move at all, and could only stay in the void.In an instant, the blade was caught off guard and flipped, aiming at his heart in an instant.

Suddenly a candle was lit outside the curtain, illuminating the inner room.

Xie Tangru was wearing a middle coat, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, holding the dagger with his two fingers together.

"When Shen met Mr. Shen, he came to visit in the middle of the night without asking the master. Isn't it a gentleman's action?"

The sharp blade is like snow and the cold light sees his sharp and cold eyes.

The author has something to say: National Day is over.
