Gu Yan really kept his word, deducted Ye Zi's reward for the second day, and Ye Zi was so angry that Ye Zi didn't say a word to him from the time the other party got up to the morning.

Ye Zi finished his breakfast, picked two attendants from the palace, and went to the post where the northern barbarians stayed.

Starting today, he has to lead the northern barbarian Prince Jiaxiedan on a tour of Chang'an.

Before Jia Xiedan got up, the servant at the post house served tea to Ye Zi, Ye Zi didn't say anything, just sat quietly in the main room and sipped the tea.After drinking a cup of tea, Jia Xiedan came late.

"Concubine Rui has been waiting for a long time." Jia Xiedan walked in quickly and apologized to Ye Zi, "Yesterday, the Holy Majesty stayed in the palace to have a meal, and for a while, he accidentally drank a few more glasses, which is why he got up late. Concubine Rui, don't blame me."

For the convenience of traveling, he changed into Central Plains clothes, except for those light brown eyes, he looked similar to Central Plains people.

Ye Zi glanced at him and said calmly: "If Your Highness is not feeling well today, you can stay in the post to rest first, and the same goes for going out tomorrow."

"How can this be done?" Jia Xiedan moved closer, and said in a low voice, "Although I was born in northern Xinjiang, I have admired the culture of the Central Plains since I was a child. You people in the Central Plains pay attention to love and respect, how can I let the beauties go for nothing?"

Ye Zi frowned slightly, and took half a step back: "Your Highness respects himself."

Jia Xiedan let out an "ah" and suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, we people in northern Xinjiang are always generous with compliments, especially for a rare beauty like you. It was the next moment that I got carried away and lost my composure."

Ye Zi didn't want to talk too much with him, and said directly: "In this case, let's go."

He said, turned and walked away quickly.

Jia Xie only stared at his back, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

interesting.

After leaving the post station, Jia Xiedan behaved a little better, and no longer overstepped in his speech and behavior.Ye Zi took him around Chang'an City, explaining and enjoying it.

In the afternoon, the two found a teahouse to listen to music.

Amidst the melody of the zither, a young girl from a tea house knelt down in front of the two of them and made tea, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing in the compartment.

Ye Zi leaned against the railing on the second floor, looking towards the street, wondering what she was thinking.There are people coming and going on the streets of Chang'an, a young woman in ragged clothes is kneeling on the street begging with her infant baby.Looking at that appearance, it seems that he has escaped.

After the tea was brewed, Jia Xie sent away the little girl who was serving the tea, and got up to pour a cup for Ye Zi herself.

"Master Ye, please use it."

It would cause some unnecessary troubles, Jia Xiedan always called him that when he was outside.

Ye Zi came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Jia Xiedan took a sip of tea, looked past Ye Zi to the street, and sighed, "The world is not stable. On the next road, I also saw many people fleeing famine near Chang'an City."

Ye Zi responded, but didn't answer.

Jia Xiedan said: "In recent years, not only disasters have occurred frequently in the Central Plains, but also in northern Xinjiang. Food is getting less and less, not to mention feeding cattle, sheep and horses, even people are struggling to survive. It is also because of this, My father and king will be forced to invade the Central Plains, but it is just to earn a living for the clansmen."

Ye Zi said indifferently: "There are frequent border wars, and you survived, but how will the border people who were burned, killed and looted by your army live?"

Jia Xie's eyes fell on his face, and he smiled lightly: "Master Ye is finally willing to talk to me."

"...My family has been a nomad for generations, and my father's status as the King of the Northern Man came from a war horse. You said that burning, killing and looting is indeed good. Even my mother was taken back from the Central Plains by the King of the Northern Man?"

Jia Xiedan looked away, took another sip of tea, and then slowly said: "My mother is from the Central Plains. When she was young, she married a wealthy businessman and went to northern Xinjiang with a caravan to do business. My father and king fell in love with her. The timid husband sacrificed my mother in order to keep the caravan."

"My mother didn't want to stay there, and wanted to escape back to the Central Plains. But there was endless grassland everywhere, and there was nowhere to escape. Once she escaped, she was captured by my father and tortured once, and she didn't stop until she became pregnant. thought of running away."

Jia Xiedan paused, and continued: "...Just like that, she stayed in the clan, and she couldn't set foot in the Central Plains until she died."

Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Sorry."

"It's okay," Jia Xiedan smiled, with a look of indifference, "Northern barbarians are generally barbaric and rude in the eyes of the Central Plains. I have the blood of northern barbarians on my body. Mr. Ye misunderstood me. I understand."

Ye Zi shook his head: "I'm not..."

Jia Xiedan put his hand on the back of his hand and interrupted: "I said, even if there is a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter."

Ye Zi quickly withdrew his hand.

Jia Xie focused his eyes on Ye Zi's face for a moment, and said, "Young Master Ye seems to be in a bad mood today, you might as well tell me if you have any troubles, maybe I can help you out."

Ye Zi lowered his head to drink tea, and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing."

But Jia Xiedan was relentless, lowered his voice and said: "Let me guess, could it be related to Prince Rui?"

Mentioning Gu Yan, Ye Zi's eyes moved slightly, revealing a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

"Is that true?" Jia Xiedan leaned slightly in Ye Zi's direction, "Prince Rui really is, with such a beautiful woman by his side, it's fine if he doesn't take good care of him, but he dared to make you angry. it's me……"

"Your Highness." Ye Zi couldn't help interrupting him, "You are about to marry the princess, so words and deeds must not be wrong."

The smile in Jia Xie's eyes deepened: "So what if my words and deeds are wrong? Could it be that Mr. Ye will go to the Holy Master to read a copy of me, saying that I am molesting you?"

The attendants brought by Ye Zi were all waiting outside the cubicle, unable to hear what they were saying.

Jia Xiedan lowered his voice and said, "I heard the Holy Majesty mentioned you, and he seemed to be critical of you in his words. If I really did something, do you think the Holy Majesty will destroy the covenant between the Northern Man and the Central Plains for you alone?"

His words hit the spot.

Emperor Jinghe had been dissatisfied with Ye Zi for a long time, but he had no reason to move him. Letting him take Jia Xie on a solo tour of Chang'an this time was exactly the problem for him.If Ye Zi remembers correctly, this Prince Jiaxiedan is indeed a man in the book.

Ye Zi had a headache.

If something went wrong in entertaining the foreign guests this time, Emperor Jinghe would have caught it.

Ye Zi said helplessly, "What exactly do you want?"

Jia Xiedan smiled: "Young master Ye can't tell, I'm interested in you."

Ye Zi was shocked by his shamelessness, thought it over, and said, "Aren't you afraid of offending King Rui?"

"I'm not afraid." Jia Xie said alone, "What's so good about him, he's just a puppet prince with no real power, and he has to live according to His Majesty's face. If you follow him, you might as well follow me. I'll take you to the grassland Wouldn't it be better to be at ease and stay away from the power struggles in this imperial city?"

Ye Zi calmly said, "Impossible."

Jia Xiedan asked: "Are you really so infatuated with King Rui?"

"So what?"

Jia Xie stared at him with a pair of light brown eyes, as if judging whether his words were true or not.After a while, Jia Xiedan looked away and sighed softly: "It's a pity, it's really a pity."

Ye Zi was helpless: "How can you let me go?"

"It's also simple." Jia Xie said alone, "As long as you are willing to accompany me to a place, I will not pester you anymore. But..."

He raised his eyelids, and glanced at the two attendants of Prince Rui's Palace: "You can't take anyone with you."

Ye Zi considered for a moment, and said, "I promise you."

As it was getting late, Ye Zi sent away the two attendants from Prince Rui's residence, and followed Jia Xiedan.

He was not afraid of what Jia Xie Shan would do to him.At the emperor's feet, Jia Xiedan only dared to tease him a few words with his tongue, and dared not do anything more transgressive.

What's more, with his force, others can't get into him at all.

But when Ye Zi followed Jia Xiedan to the place he said, he was so angry that he left behind the etiquette that he had struggled to maintain all day.

Ye Zi looked at the red silk lanterns and glazed tiles not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?"

The two stood in the lively night market, the small carved beam building in front of them was brightly lit, and there were three big characters written on the plaque above their heads.

"Smoke House"

Yanyun Hall, the most famous brothel in Chang'an City.

Ye Zi was so angry that his hands were shaking, he took a deep breath, and said patiently: "Your Highness, you are here for marriage, the Princess De'an you are going to marry is the most beloved daughter of the Holy Majesty. Do you think that if you are under his nose Will he marry Princess De'an to you when you go to a place like this?"

Jia Xie insisted on being soft and hard, and said with a smile: "That's true, so didn't I ask you to send all the attendants away? Only the two of us know that I'm here tonight. As long as Mr. Ye keeps it a secret for me, you don't have to worry about it." Outsiders know."

Jia Xiedan acted like a dandy, and said: "I have heard about the reputation of Chang'an Yanyun Pavilion in the morning, and I have been here for more than ten days in Chang'an City, but I have never had a chance to go in and have a look. Young master Ye, you can go in with me." Give it a try, and I promise I won’t pester you in the future.”

Ye Zi was so angry that his ears turned red, and he said angrily, "You have to go by yourself, I won't go in."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but Jia Xiedan reached out and grabbed his wrist.Ye Zi twisted his backhand, using two points of internal strength to try to push the person away, but Jia Xiesan shrewdly dodged his blow and entangled him again.

The two fought on the street, Jia Xie only knew a little bit of kung fu, but he was not as good as Ye Zi, and soon fell behind.

The fight between the two attracted more and more people's attention, Jia Xiedan said in a low voice: "Master Ye really wants to fight me here?"

Ye Zi's movements stopped suddenly.

Now is the busiest time in the market, if any one of them is recognized, it will be a big trouble.

Ye Zi suppressed the anger in his chest, and said, "Forget it, I'll just go with you."

The two entered the Yanyun Hall, and soon a woman who looked like an old bustard came up to her with a sign, pestering them to introduce the young lady Meiji in the hall.Jiaxiedan didn't look like he was coming back for the first time, and picked up decently.

Ye Zi silently followed behind him, watching his nose and mouth, pretending he didn't see anything.

Jia Xiedan didn't know what to say to the woman, so he took an ingot of silver from his bosom and handed it over.The woman smiled from ear to ear, and immediately led the two into the backyard.

The backyard of Yanyun Hall is a row of private rooms, the vermilion doors are closed tightly, much cleaner than the front hall.

It was the first time for Ye Zi to come to this kind of place, and he couldn't hear a single sound along the way, so he couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside.He followed Jia Xiedan through the flower corridor, and when he passed a half-closed door, he looked inside in a mysterious way.

Bright red candles were lit in the private room, and the warm smoke wafted around lightly, reflecting the figure sitting inside not very clearly.

Ye Zi was afraid of being discovered, so he only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze guiltily, and continued walking forward.But as he was walking, he stopped again.

He just saw the profile of the client in the private room.

That person's eyes were cold, and even in such a romantic place, he still had an air of transcendence and worldliness.

Ye Zi seemed to be dazzled by the ubiquitous warm fragrance, he looked dazedly, and recalled it in a daze, and found that the prostitute looked surprisingly familiar.

That man...why does he look so much like Gu Yan?
