Prostitution

Chapter 117

two months later.

The emperor decided that Dali Temple would be responsible for hearing the case of King Huai Jing, and privately hinted that Xu Jingyun should finalize the case before the autumnal equinox.

There is still one month to the autumnal equinox.Dali Temple didn't even need to send manpower to search for witnesses and physical evidence, the emperor had already prepared everything.It will take less than ten days for the case to be settled in this way.

Qu Tongyin had indeed tried his best, delaying the time in front of the emperor repeatedly on the grounds that Yuan Cheng's demon was irreversible, but the emperor was so shrewd, he agreed with his excuse, and when the three-month deadline came, he went to ask or tell Yuan Cheng, the plan here we go.

Yuan Cheng had no objection to this.Since he recovered from his injury, he has never mentioned the will again, as if he compromised with Qi Mingxiu's plan.

But Qu Tongyin knew that this person might kill him at any time.And he couldn't reveal that secret. In Yuan Cheng's state, even if he had a showdown, it would be useless.

He dared to gamble on the ease and ease of the second half of his life on the honor of the Qu family to return to the road to conquer the world, but does a person who doesn't even want his own life want to rule the world?

The only way to do it now is to play tricks on the emperor's plan.

If something unexpected happened, he hoped that his death would inspire Yuan Cheng's will to survive.Just as if they have lost all their plans for several years, and the end is nothing more than death.

He couldn't explain these things to others, he was thinking so impassionedly alone, and he and Lian Qi carefully planned to escape.

At this time, Qu Tongyin received a report from his servant, saying that a young man surnamed Wen invited him to meet him.

The location is in the former Diancui Building, which is now the Chunfeng Building, a brothel that is so popular in the capital.

Going to brothels during the day is simply ostentatious.Qu Tongyin didn't have time to worry about this, so he rushed to the appointment immediately.

As soon as he reached the door, a young man came to lead him.

The building was very quiet, with the smell of rouge, mixed with the snoring of some rough men.

Occasionally, a martial artist dressed as a thug looked sideways, but he didn't intend to stop the questioning, so he swaggered through the corridor like this.

After making seven turns and eight turns, I came to a wing room in the corner of the top floor.

The boy knocked on the door and left.

The door opened, and Wen Wuyu was dressed in silk and satin, bright and beautiful, and becoming more and more graceful.

Qu Tongyin had never seen Mr. Wen dressed so gorgeously before, and smiled stupidly.

He walked so unimpededly to such a well-known brothel in the capital, he couldn't help but be puzzled. Curiosity is a human instinct, so Qu Tongyin had to ask, of course,

"Could it be that the Chunfeng Building is under the name of Mr. Wen?"

When Wen Wuyu heard the words, his eyes turned into a crescent moon, "Master Qu always has such unique ideas. In the field of love and moonlight, it is perfect to have money that can make ghosts turn the clock."

"Oh." Qu Tongyin curled his lips, glanced at the bed, the quilt was neat and tidy, "You just arrived in the capital today?"

"It's been a few days." Wen Wuyu leaned forward to make tea, but didn't say much.

Qu Tongyin didn't ask any more questions, and watched him pour tea for himself, and found that there was a string of misty white bracelets on the wrist that was inadvertently exposed under the wide sleeve.

Wen Wuyu sat down and said, "I don't know if Master Qu still wants me to see the prince?"

"Yes, yes..." Qu Tongyin quickly swallowed his answer at the entrance of the tea party.

"So, I have three conditions." Wen Wuyu continued.

"Please speak." Qu Tongyin sat upright.

"First, you must go during the day. Second, you must not be known by the emperor, at least before I leave the capital. Third, make sure that there are no guards around when I meet the prince."

Qu Tongyin thought for a while, and said, "If the time is very urgent during the day, it will take a lot of effort to bribe the Huben army. When do you plan to see the prince?"

"Today and tomorrow, it's fine if you can't do it." Wen Wuyu said leisurely.

Qu Tongyin was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and responded, "Tomorrow afternoon, do you think it's okay?"

"Then at the beginning of Shen Shi, I waited at the tea house one mile away from the palace."

The following afternoon.

There was still some leisure before the appointed time, so Wen Wuyu called a carriage and set off early.

The destination is Andinghou Mansion.

A year ago, Qi Jue returned to Beijing and was granted the title of Marquis of Anding.One is that he has made great achievements in running the army, and the other is that in the past few years, there have been frequent small-scale violations by neighboring foreigners in the western frontier. Qi Jue not only repelled them again and again, but also conquered all the small states.

Although not the greatest contribution, but the emperor fulfilled his wish to be promoted to Qi Jue for many years, and it especially showed him to stay in Beijing to cultivate.

In the past year, everything has been stable in the Western Territory, and Qi Jue has not gone to the border for a long time.The main reason was the confinement of King Huai Jing.

The emperor was determined to do so, and Qi Jue wanted to persuade him but was unable to change it, so he had to wait and see the development of the situation before choosing a helping hand.

Qi Jue was really surprised by the unexpected visitor's visit.

He and this Mr. Wen couldn't even be called acquaintances, and they never spoke a word in Jiangnan Road.

At best, they are strangers who have met a few times, and they are familiar.

When they met, both of them were embarrassed.

Wen Wuyu got used to it very quickly. The implication of the words is that this Hou's mansion is worthy of being the mansion of a great general. It is solemn and solemn, and one can imagine the majesty of thousands of troops in a trance.

Qi Jue found it funny, and stopped the continuation of this kind of polite talk, "Mr. Wen's special visit is not to praise me, is it?"

Wen Wuyu smiled, "What I said below is also true."

Qi Jue smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Wen for his praise. You and I don't have to be so polite. You can speak up if you have something to say. Are you here for the prince's business?"

Wen Wuyu took a deep look at him, and said happily, "The general is a straightforward person. But I am mainly here for the general."

Wen Wuyu called him a general, not Lord Hou, mostly because he respected him for his resourcefulness and bravery on the battlefield, but Lord Hou was a title from Vanity Fair.

Qi Jue understood more or less, this year everyone inside and outside the court called him Lord Marquis.

But saying that he came here is confusing, "How do you say that?"

Wen Wuyu was silent for a moment before opening his mouth, and smiled inexplicably, "I don't know how the general thinks of the master of meritorious service?"

Qi Jue was taken aback for a moment, looked at him, Wen Wuyu didn't avoid it, and greeted him frankly.

They were thinking about each other in silence.

Qi Jue looked away first, and said with a low smile, "This word is not suitable for me. But Mr. Wen is afraid that there is a suspicion of alienation." Yan Jian smiled and looked at him again.

On the contrary, Wen Wuyu's expression became more and more relaxed, "Great merit lies in merit. The general is not enough at this time, and the future is unknown. But you have power in your hands, and it is the military power that can easily overthrow the world. The weight is comparable to merit."

"It's not like you don't know that the emperor and I are close relatives, and there is no one from my family in the world." Qi Jue looked solemn and firmly believed.

If "depending on each other" can turn into cannibalism, I am afraid there is nothing more chilling than this in the world.

"The scourge of the wall is common to everyone, not to mention the emperor's family. Isn't the prince's current situation enough to be a lesson for the past?"

Mr. Wen's heart of alienation is so firm, Qi Jue frowned unknowingly, a little annoyed,

"The prince and the emperor have other secrets, which should be discussed separately."

"Does the general know that the secret behind this is not an excuse to seize power?" Seeing his harsh tone, Wen Wuyu didn't feel panicked, with a thin smile on his face, and his tone seemed to be ordinary.

Qi Jue laughed suddenly, stared at him, and asked, "What exactly does Mr. Wen want to do?"

Wen Wuyu fiddled with the giant clam bracelet on his wrist inadvertently, with a calm expression, looking out of the lobby, his eyes filled with turbulent waves,

"I just want to tell the general that the changeability of the human heart is more difficult to understand than thousands of formations, and the danger of the human heart is far more tragic than fighting on the battlefield. If the general has no heart to guard against others, sooner or later he will be killed by himself."

There were too many inexplicable emotions hidden in those eyes, and Qi Jue couldn't help being shocked in his heart. It was Mr. Wen who intended to alienate, but his words could still be regarded as proverbs. He already understood the complexity and difficulty of guessing people's hearts.

It took a while for Qi Jue to reply,

"I hope there will be no day when you make a promise."

"If the general knew the secret I'm going to tell you next, he wouldn't say hope."

Wen Wuyu had an inscrutable expression on his face, Qi Jue couldn't help tensing up, looking at each other with doubts, hearing his voice was extremely low, and said slowly,

"The prince is Qi Mingxiu, the general's nephew."

Qi Jue froze as if struck by lightning, his eyes stared slightly, in disbelief, hesitant, frightened, it seemed to take him a while to realize the meaning of the words, he straightened up suddenly, tongue-tied, "You, you are talking nonsense!"

Wen Wuyu smiled, showing no fear, "It's natural for the general to disbelieve one's words. But I'm not just talking nonsense. Why don't I show the general the way? In the long run, the general can learn from the surviving veterans of my father's generation." , You have to experience the old ministers during the reign of Emperor Qi. If you are close, you can find an opportunity to test Mr. Qu, and if you are close, the general might as well ask the prince directly."

Qi Jue was stunned and speechless, his mind was in a mess.This sudden secret was too shocking to him, even if three paths were before him, it was difficult to make a quick decision.

Wen Wuyu thought to himself and said again, "The future will be long, General, think carefully. Master Qu is not easy to let go, and you have to know his mind if you want to ask. As for the prince," he stood up at this point, "I have to see him right now , I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for the general to go with you, and it’s not too late to go at night.”

Qi Jue looked at him, speechless for a while.

The look of hesitation between the brows and eyes was so similar to the prince when he was thinking hard, Wen Wuyu smiled and said, "Does the general usually look in the mirror?"

Qi Jue was at a loss.

"General, look in the mirror more. After all, you are blood relatives. Compare the prince and the emperor to see who looks like you. Farewell."

Wen Wuyu bowed to leave, and Shi Shiran left.

The author has something to say

Remember the mention of Qi Jue Regent?Here's why. (It means that I will not write about him and Qi Mingxiu in the future, I think it can be written as another story)
