"You know that there are tigers in the mountains, but you prefer to go to the mountains of tigers!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you find tiger cubs."

Tang Wang kept everything simple on this trip, but he still brought a guard of honor. Xiaolou watched the colorful flags fluttering and the cavalry clearing the way. He just thought it was majestic and majestic. If you go to the capital earlier, you can have a bigger team."

"Is the capital fun?" Duan Xiaolou tilted his head, but immediately turned his head out of the window, looking at the people lining the road to welcome him, he felt that Luo Sheng seemed to be much more enthusiastic than the last time Luo Sheng went on tour.

"Haven't Ni Butou and Duan Qing told you?"

"They say it's almost the same, that is, the houses are denser than other places, and there are more things than other places," Duan Xiaolou scratched his ears, and added, "It is said that there are more rules than other places, especially martial arts people. Everyone in the capital should hide their weapons well, and if they are found, they will be arrested."

"You have to go to the interesting places in the capital to find out." Luo Sheng smiled slightly, and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Duan Xiaolou yelling.

"Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng, I saw someone sending you a pennant...ah, someone stopped you."

"I don't want to show my face in front of everyone, so let Lu Li handle this matter." Luo Sheng replied lightly, and sure enough, the team continued to move forward.

But Duan Xiaolou turned around and walked beside Luo Sheng and said, "Are you afraid of showing up too much and revealing your identity? My brother also said that you live in seclusion in the capital on weekdays."

"As a prince, I am subject to many etiquette and rules, and there is no need to get close to ordinary people." Luo Sheng grabbed a strand of Duan Xiaolou's hair and played with it, his eyes darkened.As a prince, there have been too many prohibitions, coupled with the imperial censor and admonisher supervision, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is difficult to move, and behind the infinite scenery is a prison.

"Then why are you so close to me?" Duan Xiaolou approached with a smile, "I think they sent you the pennant to thank you, did you thank you for helping them clear the tax refund?"

"Well, after taking the former tax official into custody, it is a good thing for ordinary people to order Zhou Jin to thoroughly investigate the taxes of Lin'an Prefecture. These people really forgot that there is no king in the world. In order to fill my pockets with insatiable greed and invade the cornerstone of my imperial court, I must catch the moths in Lin'an Mansion before attacking Xiangyang Mountain."

"But you seem to have arrested a lot of people, even the governor here. Isn't the government here going to be in chaos?"

"It's better if it's a mess." Luo Sheng still smiled and said, "If he's here, the local bureaucrats will work together to cover each other, and Zhou Jin won't be able to find out anything."

"You just want them to be headless chickens, beat them until no one dares to speak in the government, and then slowly deal with the Fourth Young Master of Lin'an?" Duan Xiaolou smiled flatteringly.

Luo Sheng patted Duan Xiaolou's head, and said, "If you are a man, you will be an official in the court, why worry about going out and becoming a prime minister?"

"I don't want to. There are so many twists and turns in the imperial court. It's hard to think about it. I think it's good to be a little girl. Don't ask me to do something. If you can do it, my brother will help me. As for me, I like to do what I like, even if I don’t know the inside ways, it’s always right to follow you, if I enter the court and become an official, I have to guess and guess based on people’s faces every day, so I don’t want to.”

"Haha." Luo Sheng smiled, pulled Duan Xiaolou into his arms, patted his shoulder but couldn't help sighing.

Duan Xiaolou's temperament is similar to Duan Qing's. Back then, General Longhu couldn't keep him. He said he was used to the wild cranes in the rivers and lakes. He just went to battle and was willing to contribute to the country.

Probably also saw the struggle between the court and the party, and didn't want to be that cannon fodder.

She also wanted to retreat, but unfortunately, she could only move forward.

"By the way, Luo Sheng, are the An family and the Lin family on good terms?"

"Not bad, we followed Meng Anji together back then, and later surrendered together to carve up Meng Anji's power."

"Wow, don't they do everything together? Lin Youshan married Peony from Anhua Villa, and who did Anbicheng marry?"

"An Bicheng is not yet married, but the girls from Lin'an Mansion are vying to marry her. What's the matter, do you mean it?"

"He is far worse than you, I have you enough." Duan Xiaolou didn't think too much about it, it's not bad to put Abi City in the crowd, but after seeing too much of his own brother, Abi City is just like that , Lin'an Mansion said that he was as gentle as jade, handsome and elegant, Duan Xiaolou stuck out his tongue, and in terms of appearance, he was on par with his elder brother, how could Luo Sheng be better.

Luo Sheng made Duan Xiaolou laugh frequently, and didn't care too much, got off the car at the place, and personally helped Duan Xiaolou down, holding hands all the way to the banquet.

As soon as Luo Sheng arrived at Lin's house, he avoided the etiquette of the crowd, but he was also surrounded by the crowd to talk. Duan Xiaolou was not used to polite and unfamiliar greetings, but he held Luo Sheng with one arm, and did not dare to leave for fear of the crowd. Some of them rushed out and injured Luo Sheng.

King Tang came all the way, An Bicheng led the way, accompanied by Lin Youshan, who rarely spoke, but Lin Youshan's sister-in-law stood up to welcome the guests, Luo Sheng frowned, and said, "Why, the Lin family is the wife in charge? "

Just one sentence made the atmosphere extremely awkward, and it was An Bicheng who came out to smooth things over, only saying that Mrs. Lin admired Tang Wang's demeanor and came to see him specially.While talking, he gestured to the back, telling Fei Rong to leave quickly.

Duan Xiaolou originally thought that Fei Rong's beauty is so earth-shattering, the number one beauty in the martial arts world, who is also his eldest brother, Chen Weichen, and her shadow, can marry Lin Youshan in the end, so she must be a few steps prettier than herself , it turns out that the complexion is fair, the flesh on the face is even a little drooping, with not shallow tear grooves, and the facial features are still marked, but Duan Xiaolou doesn't believe that she is a great beauty. Could it be that she married Lin Lin? Isn't the friendly Feirong the number one beauty in martial arts back then?Coupled with the cramped look after being ridiculed by Luo Sheng, how could it look good?

The place for the banquet was in the Lin Family Garden, a pond where the young lotus just showed its sharp corners, the ripples stacked and pushed each other, and the breeze spread the fragrance on the pavement.Duan Xiaolou held Luo Sheng's arm with one hand, but couldn't help but look towards the pond with both eyes. He saw the light veil blowing on the waterside pavilion from a distance, and was amazed in his heart.

Duan Xiaolou was also a little surprised, Luo Sheng didn't seem to say anything, why did everyone drive away Fei Rong so clearly, but when he thought about not seeing that disgusting woman, his mood immediately improved, and he sat next to Luo Sheng , the maid served the drinks one by one, it seemed that the dinner would take a while.

The ever-greedy Duan Xiaolou was getting hungry looking at the transparent crystal cake with flowers and the pink hawthorn cake, and he wanted to grab it, but just as he was about to start, he found Luo Sheng was looking at her, and he had just finished dealing with Anbicheng's compliments , turned around and showed her a meaningful smile.

Duan Xiaolou shrank his hands and sat down obediently.

This is not eating, it is simply being tortured. Anbicheng next to him has already touted the achievements of King Tang since he was granted the title. At the end, when it comes to the arrest of officials from Lin'an Mansion, his attitude is obviously a little subtle, with a bit of inquiring meaning .

Luo Sheng smiled slightly, and praised the current emperor for being diligent, respecting the sky and loving the people like a son, and An Bicheng smiled and invited Tang Wang to watch the song and dance performance.

Don't you speak human words in officialdom?Duan Xiaolou drooped his head and rolled his eyes, the text was not right at all, what you two said was not the same thing, how did you get it right?Why did An Bicheng start to stop talking nonsense?

However, the silk and bamboo sounded, and the colorful and gorgeous sleeves of the dancers on the waterside were thrown up, and the skirts fluttered, which made the banquet less depressing for a few people. Luo Sheng even picked up a crystal cake and handed it to Duan Xiaolou. Duan Xiaolou smiled Immediately opened his mouth and asked Luo Sheng to feed her. After waiting for a long time, he was finally able to eat.

The graceful music on the stage was accompanied by the dancing girls' colorful clothes, and the opponent's footsteps matched the drumbeat, stepping out step by step, the water sleeves twirling, revealing a face with a beautiful moonlight, all the dancing girls around were dressed in water red clothes, except The one in the middle is dressed in light yellow and pink, with plum blossoms dotted between her eyebrows, and gold thread wrapped around her feet, shining brightly in Duan Xiaolou's eyes.

"It's a good dance." Tang Wang seemed quite satisfied with the dance, and even praised it.

"I also think it looks good." Duan Xiaolou ate a few pieces of dim sum, and when he wanted to eat again, Luo Sheng grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms. Sheng was amazed, "Especially the girl in the middle, her body is so soft."

Duan Xiaolou has practiced martial arts, so he naturally understands that the human body has limited flexibility, and it takes years of exercise to stretch the body to the extreme and to perform such graceful postures on the stage.

"This one is originally Hong Luan's oiran, and he is the No. 1 in Lin'an in terms of dancing posture." An Bicheng kept praising her on the sidelines.

"What's an oiran?" Duan Xiaolou sipped his tea and asked Luo Sheng with his eyes open, when An Bicheng's hands trembled and he almost couldn't hold his chopsticks.

Luo Sheng, who was drinking, choked his throat with a sip of wine, put down his glass and covered his lips and coughed a few times, turned his head and glanced at Anbi City coldly, but pinched Duan Xiaolou's waist with his hand, Duan Xiaolou grinned in pain , both tears were full of grievances, "I don't know..." I also sensed the weird atmosphere and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Hearing Duan Xiaolou's mumbling, Luo Sheng wiped his mouth and said, "It means the most powerful."

"Oh, then..." Duan Xiaolou wanted to ask what Hong Luan was, but saw Luo Sheng's knife-like eyes, curled his lips and swallowed the words back.

Luo Sheng couldn't see Duan Xiaolou's frightened look, sighed, patted Duan Xiaolou's shoulder again and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Duan Xiaolou saw that Lin Youxin had just left the banquet and hadn't come back. Anbicheng was far away, so he said in a low voice, "Fei Rong is not so good-looking, why is she the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world? like?"

"It is said that she was able to compete with Peony eight years ago. Now, after all, she is old and the beauty is late. You don't have to be surprised." Luo Sheng didn't take it to heart. It was too fast, she had seen too many beauties falling from great heights.

The oiran is envied by everyone, but the oiran on the stage has been changed several times in the past eight years, not to mention that this once number one beauty has long since fallen into the mundane world, how much strength does she have?
