Prostitution

"Master, do you want me to accompany you?"

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers came and went, which could still be faintly heard in the inner courtyard of the palace.

"No, if you want to join in the fun, serve in front of the prince." Wen Wuyu finished washing and was ready to go.

The prince got up, and the servants were surrounding him serving tea and water,

"Leave now?" Yuan Cheng asked casually.It's not time for the hour, the sky is not yet bright, Mr. Wen is fully dressed, it seems that he has come to say goodbye.

"Yes," Wen Wuyu clasped his hands together, "the auspicious time must not be missed, and it would seem abrupt to go earlier to say hello to the senior scholars."

"Success, come back early and find us by the river." Yuan Cheng half-closed his eyes, stretched his arms horizontally, and asked the servants to wait for him to change clothes.

Wen Wuyu responded with a groan, and retreated slowly, his words and deeds today were extraordinarily serious.

City God Temple.

The green smoke is burning, and there are crowds of people early in the morning.

In fact, Wen Wuyu was not sure at all whether his senior brother Xie Wancheng would come to the Town God's Temple to meet him.

But it is true that this person has traveled all over the world for more than ten years, and it is also true that his whereabouts are uncertain and he has very few contacts.Wen Wuyu often suspects that he is just using the name of Yunyou to roam the mountains and rivers.Because he is actually more careless than himself.

On the high altar in front of the temple, a group of star-crowned Taoist priests lead a group of star-crowned Taoists to recite scriptures.

Wearing a nondescript white robe, Wen Wuyu only stood on the edge of the crowd and watched from a distance.

About half an hour later, the blessing ceremony came to an end, and devout men and women came to the temple to offer incense one after another.

Wen Wuyu waited for Xie Wancheng, so he followed the flow of people.

Three ceremonies and three kowtows to offer the fragrance, he took a thousand taels of silver notes from his bosom and stuffed them into the merit box, more or less he brought the prince's prayers with him.

Just after leaving the temple gate, a boy in common clothes, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, jumped to Wen Wuyu's side and threw a note into his arms.

It was the meeting place written by Xie Wancheng himself.

Wen Wuyu tore up the note helplessly, and walked towards Jiyujiang.

After walking along the river for a long time, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, and it became more and more deserted. Only then did I see a small boat with a black awning docked in the water.

The half-moon-shaped lake in the upper reaches is full of sightseeing boats of all sizes.The shore was crowded with people, and it was a vast expanse of darkness.

"No corner!"

A man walked out of the black-covered boat, with a silver-gray blue shirt, a strand of long hair fluttering in front of his forehead, thick black sword eyebrows, a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes, melancholy and blurred, a wine gourd tied around his waist, and a wine jar in his hand.

Wen Wuyu looked intently, and couldn't help grinning. It's been many years since I saw this senior brother, and he has shown a sense of heroism and chivalry in his travels.

Xie Wancheng looked at the people on the shore with a smile, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and suddenly exerted force with his wrist, the wine jar flew straight towards Wen Wuyu.

Wen Wuyu caught it without any risk. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a figure approaching, and when he turned his head, his lips were blocked, and the cold liquor was poured from the opponent's mouth.

A few passers-by uttered exclamations, and ran away one after another.

But seeing the two people kissing unscrupulously, they floated into the air in the blink of an eye, and landed firmly on the black-covered boat.

His playful temperament remained unchanged, Wen Wuyu gave him a slight nudge, frowned and pretended to be angry, "Brother, don't forget Master's teachings, you should be cautious in dealing with the world."

Xie Wancheng frowned, and said with a smile, "Be careful what you do, it's not like you don't know, I have liked you since I was a child."

Wen Wuyu walked into the boat and sat down, with a jug of wine warming on the stove, he poured himself a glass and said, "So you want me to wander the world with you again this time?"

"Are you willing?" Xie Wancheng asked half-truthfully, he didn't expect Wen Wuyu to go with him, but he still wanted to ask a question.

Wen Wuyu smiled but did not answer.

Xie Wancheng didn't ask any more questions, and after a moment of silence, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I heard that you live in the palace?"

Wen Wuyu looked up at him, already thinking, "Brother, you just arrived in the capital today?"

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Is there any whereabouts of your parents?"

"not yet."

"Since you guessed that I arrived in the capital a few days earlier, there is nothing to hide from me."

"If senior brother intervenes in this matter, I'm afraid there will be even more complications."

Xie Wancheng was speechless for a while, he wanted to help, but he was also worried about disrupting Wen Wuyu's established plan.He has also heard about what happened in the capital in the past few days.

Xu Shi was infected by Xie Wancheng's charisma, and Wen Wuyu drank a few more glasses for an unprecedented time.

After being silent for a while, Xie Wancheng thought a lot, he couldn't just sit on the sidelines,

"Actually, if you don't tell me, I know a lot."

Hearing this sentence, Wen Wuyu was extremely surprised, and then said with a smile, "You might as well talk about it."

Xie Wancheng weighed two wine glasses, shaking them lightly, with bright eyes, "It's not difficult to guess. Isn't it obvious if you connect the things that happened after you entered the palace? I think it's even less likely that your parents are not in the palace." In the sky prison of Dali Temple."

"How to say?" Wen Wuyu became interested, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"That prince doesn't even dare to hide people in his own mansion. Dali Temple is full of people. He can't cover the sky with one hand. After all, he is only a king with a foreign surname, so he dare not hide in Dali Temple. I guess you have verified it, yes Bar."

Wen Wuyu smiled lowly, "Yes, what else?"

Xie Wancheng's brows twitched, and he showed a smile that I know you better,

"It is said that the prince often leaves the gate and does not enter the second gate. He also has something to fear. I don't know what he is afraid of. But I think his relationship with the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice is not as bad as the rumors outside. At least Among the court officials, there are too many princes and him." After a moment's pause, Xie Wancheng leaned closer to Wen Wuyu, lowered his voice, "It is very likely that your parents are in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The words made Wen Wuyu nod his head incessantly.Since he left the mountain, in the few letters he has written, he has never mentioned half a word about his parents. He has no choice but to admire,

"Senior brother is indeed different from ordinary people, and he has learned a lot in just a few days."

Xie Wancheng raised his glass and said with a smile, "So it's right for me to help you. What are you worried about?"

Wen Wuyu waved his wine glass so as not to touch him, "Forget it, a slight mistake will lead to eternal doom, the prince's methods are far beyond your imagination."

Xie Wancheng said meaninglessly, "What are you afraid of, I will definitely kill him for you."

Wen Wuyu smirked.

"Why?" Xie Wancheng suddenly restrained his smile, "You never thought about killing him, did you?"

"I never thought about it." Wen Wuyu was a little drunk, and lay down on the deck with his hands behind his back, "Kill him, and my sister will not be able to come back from the dead, and my parents are in prison. It's best to save them, but I can't save... the culprit It shouldn't be him."

After a while, Wen Wuyu squinted his eyes and said, "He can't help himself!"

Xie Wancheng couldn't help snorting coldly, "It's really admirable that you sympathize with him."

Wen Wuyu glanced at him and lowered his eyelids calmly, "Master once said that all things have spirits. We are people who practice the Tao and believe in the reincarnation of the heavens. There are gods three feet up, and souls three feet down the ground. Why bother you My innocent hands are stained with human blood."

The awning boat rocked slightly.

The sound of firecrackers overwhelmed the sky, disturbing a river cruise ship in the center of the lake, and the water waves were dizzy with thousands of ripples.

The dead branches on the bank of the river secretly sprouted green shoots.
