Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The little lady's pretty face was flushed with embarrassment, she hurriedly lowered her head, revealing a fragile and slender fair neck, holding the pipa tightly with both hands, looking really shy.

"It's broad daylight, isn't it good for Lang Jun to be like this?"

Li Liao took out a shiny silver ingot and put it on the dining table.

"As long as you tell us, the silver will be yours."

That ingot is at least five taels, and an ordinary singer sings a song for at most two or three silver coins, and some even only have a dozen or so copper coins.

The opponent's shot is five taels, which is really generous.

The little lady was obviously moved.

Hua Manman picked up the ingot of silver, stuffed it into the little lady's slender hand, and at the end she didn't forget to touch the back of the other's hand, and said with a smile.

"Say it, we won't treat you badly."

Li Liao's eyelids twitched.

Ju, dare to take advantage of it.

The little lady held the heavy silver ingot, as if she had made up her mind, she was finally willing to speak.

"If Lang Jun asks about anything else, the slave family may not know about it, but the slave family does know something about Yu Wang's mansion, because the slave family was called to perform at Yu Wang's mansion two days ago."

Hua Manman looked at her with burning eyes, and encouraged: "Keep talking."

Young lady: "When my family went to Prince Yu's mansion, I only saw the second master and some guests, but I didn't see Prince Yu. I heard that King Yu was sick in bed and it's inconvenient to see people."

Hua Manman: "Do you know who those guests are?"

The little lady: "Some of them are generals under King Yu, some are well-known local literati, and there are also a few people from other races."

Hua Manman: "An alien?"

Seeing that she was interested in foreigners, the little lady explained in detail.

"Although they are wearing the costumes of Dazhou people, what they speak is not Dazhou dialect, nor does it seem to be a foreign dialect. Anyway, it is a language that the slave family has never heard."

Hua Manman asked again: "What are they here for?"

The little lady: "It looks like they are here to discuss cooperation. The second master is very polite to them. I don't know more about the slave family."

Hua Manman asked a few more questions.

The little lady said everything she could say.

Hua Manman didn't let go of the little lady until she couldn't ask any more information, and patted the empty seat beside her, smiling ambiguously.

"Sit here."

"Thank you, sir." The little lady sat down gracefully, and gently placed the pipa on the ground beside her.

Hua Manman picked up a glass of wine and handed it to the little lady's lips.

"It's freezing outside, and you're wearing such thin clothes, you must be freezing, right? Come, drink some wine to warm yourself up."

The little lady was a little hesitant: "My family doesn't drink well."

Hua Manman: "Just drink a little, it's fine, if you get drunk, I'll take you home personally."

The little lady refused, so she had to drink the glass of wine.

The wine is indeed a good wine, with a mellow and sweet taste and an endless aftertaste.

Next, Hua Manman not only poured wine for the little lady himself, but also picked vegetables, peeled shrimp and picked fish bones for her, acting extremely considerate.

Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, the little lady asked cautiously.

"Lang Jun doesn't look like a local, what are you doing in Lingxi City?"

Hua Manman smiled and said: "We are here for business, we want to buy some tea here and take it to the north to sell."

The little lady suddenly said: "Well, our tea here is really good, especially Longjing, it is a tribute, and it is sent to the palace every year for the saint to taste."

Hua Manman nodded in agreement, and incidentally praised how good the tea here is.

The little lady: "Are there only two of you here? If there are two, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy too much tea. After all, the transportation of tea is quite troublesome. You need to hire a few more people."

Hua Manman: "Of course it's not just the two of us, we have also recruited a lot of guys, but they have all gone to work elsewhere, and it will take two days to come to Lingxi City to join us."

The little lady smiled embarrassingly.

"It seems that the slave family is worrying too much, and let the gentleman see the joke."

Hua Manman held her little hand, and said softly: "How could it be? You are caring about us, I am very happy."

The little lady's face turned even redder.

Li Liao: "..."

Forget it, out of sight is out of mind.

After dinner, Hua Manman personally took the little lady downstairs, asked her whereabouts, and asked the staff to hire a carriage to take her back.

It was not until the moment of parting that Hua Manman suddenly asked.

"What's your name? Can we meet again in the future?"

The little lady was already a little drunk, seeing the other party's gentle smile, and remembering the thoughtfulness shown by the other party just now, not only was her heart skipped a bit.

She blushed and said.

"My slave's name is Yueniang. If you want to see my slave in the future, you only need to send someone to the house in the innermost part of Jasmine Alley to inform you."

Hua Manman called softly.

"Yue Niang, this name sounds just right. I will send someone to invite you tomorrow."

She stood on the side of the road and watched the carriage leave.

It wasn't until the carriage left her field of vision that she could no longer see it, then she withdrew her gaze and turned back to the private room.

They stayed in this inn tonight.

The rooms of Li Liao and Hua Manman are adjacent.

Before entering the room, Li Liao handed her a dagger for self-defense.

Hua Manman understood what he meant.

During the day today, she deliberately inquired about the Prince Yu's Mansion, which must have aroused the vigilance of those spies.

They will probably come to test Hua Manman and Li Liao tonight.

Huamanman had to prepare in advance.

On the head of the willow on the moon, the sound outside is getting smaller and smaller.

Everyone in the inn was asleep.

In this silent night, two men in black sneaked into the inn and knocked on the doors of two guest rooms silently.

The two looked at each other and entered different rooms.

In the room on the left, the man in black walked to the side of the bed in the dark. He couldn't see the person lying on the bed clearly, he could only see the quilt on the bed swelled up, presumably the bearded man was sleeping under the quilt.

The man in black pulled out the short knife in his hand, with the point of the knife pointing down, he stabbed hard at the bedding!

In the end, only a snort was heard.

The blade stuck into the cotton, and there was no blood at all.

The man in black screamed that it was not good, he was fooled!

He turned around and was about to run, but was stopped by Li Liao who appeared quietly.

Li Liao said calmly.

"Since you're here, don't leave."

The man in black raised his knife and slashed over.

Li Liao didn't have a knife, but used the scabbard to block the opponent's attack, and at the same time raised his right foot.

Kick it over.

The man in black was kicked and flew backwards, was mounted on the wall, and then slid to the ground, spitting blood, unconscious.

After getting rid of the uninvited guest, Li Liao planned to go to the next door to see the situation.

At this moment, he heard a scream from the next door, followed by another crackling sound.

Like something broke.

After that there is no sound.
