Meiqiang miserably uses herself as a substitute

Xiao Zhan, you are worthy of the fourth prince, but you really don't look up to me. "

As soon as the words fell, the young Xiao Yan stood up, grabbed the sword in the guard's hand and threw it aside, covered Xie Yan's lapel with his hands, and took him a few steps forward.

Xie Yan stood firm, slapped that hand off, and said coldly: "What are you going to do again..."

The young Xiao Yan was very angry, and he didn't like these people who disobeyed him the most, so he shot at Xie Yan before he finished speaking.

At that time, Xie Yan came to the fourth prince's mansion with injuries on his body, and because of his disagreement with Xiao Yan, the two often fought.

I remember that when he left later, the bruises on his body had not healed.

Xiao Ling recalled the scene of that day. In fact, what he was thinking at that moment was that he could turn away the wine in front of anyone, but in front of such a person who didn't take him seriously, he wanted to make him see something in his eyes. he.

Everyone was afraid of Xiao Zhan, the banquet on that day, and what was finally spread, actually put the responsibility on Xie Yan.

Obviously the fighting during the day has ended, Xie Yan is also at a disadvantage and has a new injury.

The young Xiao Yan couldn't bear the anger that he looked down upon.It was night, and he took the wine jar to the backyard.

The door was half open, the young man Xiao Ran was suspicious for a moment, before stepping in, he saw the man sitting on the rough bed board applying medicine for himself.

Xie Yan paused, turned around and looked over.

It was that look again.

In the dark night, those eyes that will never have warmth, only aggressive hostility radiates from them.

For no reason, the young Xiao Zhan saw this man's eyes and felt restless.

Xie Yan didn't expect Xiao Yan to come over suddenly, and opened his mouth, "You..."

In the next second, the young man Xiao Yan shook the wine jar and ran away.

The broken sound overlapped with the reality, and when Xiao Zhan came back to his senses, he realized that the cup in his hand had fallen to the ground, wet the ground.

Fan Ming, on the other hand, was looking at him in panic.

The guard was slightly surprised: "Your Highness..."

Xiao Yan waved his hand, he threw Fan Ming aside for a long time, and after thinking about it, he said: "I heard that you often go to Zuihonglou. If there is any girl, please introduce to me."

Fan Ming was startled, but didn't react.

"It needs to be good-looking and talented." Xiao Li said, "It's best to be able to sing."

He thought for a while, and added: "It's best...to be able to sing "Snow Land""

The guard froze.

This was the person who had promised to perform for His Highness back then.

Knowing that it wasn't Anyu who asked, Fan Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and tried his best not to tremble, "Yes, yes. The number one girl in Zuihonglou, Xiaozhu, is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can even play opera that other girls don't know. Sing! If the Fourth Highness wants to hear it, I...I can take you to find her..."

Xiao Yan gently rubbed the lines on the teacup, thinking of Xie Yan again.After a long while, he turned his eyes away, turned to Fan Ming who was still trembling, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaozhu, you haven't seen her often?"

"Haha, yes, yes!" Fan Ming nodded and bowed, sweating profusely.

Xiao Yan instantly restrained his smile, and said in a dull tone, "Seeing off the guests."

Fan Ming didn't expect to be able to leave so soon, he was overjoyed and wished for it.

Su Ci: "..."

Now he believed his master's words, these four princes were really sent by Emperor Mingde to suppress the formation and make a formality.

He gathered up his clothes that were wet by the drizzle, turned over and jumped off to leave.

After it started to rain, Lin'an immediately picked up the wind.Xie Yan asked Su to resign to inquire about the news, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed.

The windows were ajar, and a gust of wind escaped in, blowing out the candlesticks.

The interior is extremely quiet, in contrast to the outside.Xie Yan put his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

During the day, he told Su Ci that someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.In any case, if you search along the dark jade, you will eventually find the tiger talisman.

Xie Yan chuckled.

Tiger Talisman...

coincides with his mission.

No way, it's going to be difficult now.

While smiling wryly, Su Ci opened the door and came in, Xie Yan sat up and looked sideways at him: "What can you find?"

Su Ci looked depressed, and shook his head, "The fourth prince is really eccentric, he went to that Fan Xiaozhizhou, and didn't ask about the assassination of the old Zhizhou, but..."

He stopped talking.

Xie Yan: "But what?"

Su Ci: "On the contrary... I asked Fan Ming about the place where he searched for flowers and willows."

Xie Yan understood: "The brothel?"

Su Ci choked, but he didn't expect the master to say it all at once, without any shyness, "Master, it is rumored that these four princes will be the future princes."

"But he likes to look at men's faces, and he goes to Chunlou again... What does Emperor Mingde think?"

Xie Yan didn't answer, but asked instead: "What did he ask?"

Su Ci was stunned, and said awkwardly: "Miss Xiaozhu."

"The fourth prince said that he wanted to find a versatile woman to sing to him in Zuichun Tower, so Fan Ming said Miss Xiaozhu."

Su Ci didn't understand what the master meant by this, it was clear that none of this had anything to do with their mission.

The only person who might be related is Xiao Ji alone.

Xie Yan glanced at him, "Stupid."

Su Ci was dumbfounded.

"Based on my fighting with him during the day, his skill will not be able to spot you?" Xie Yan said: "I'm afraid, even the guards around him have noticed you."

Su Ci was stunned: "This..."

Xie Yan got up and poured a cup of tea for himself, "He said it to you on purpose."

"Didn't you say that the fourth prince has a habit of looking at men's faces? Then he didn't chase you away, probably because he hasn't seen me yet."

"I'll go to Zuichun Tower tomorrow." Xie Yan sipped tea, with a deep smile in his eyes: "Go and see, what exactly is this fourth prince going to do."

4. Chapter 4

The rain continued in Lin'an at night, and the guards finished the task given by Xiao Li and quietly entered the house without anyone noticing.

Xiao Li didn't raise his head: "What's his name?"

Guard: "Xie Yan, styled Ziqin."

Xiao Zhan: "The little follower told you?"

The guard nodded, "He doesn't seem very courageous, he betrayed his master just after a few threats. Judging by his appearance, he probably didn't dare to speak out about it."

Xiao Zhan smiled: "Why can't it be Ah Deaf who forced him out?"

Ah Deaf lowered his head: "Fourth Highness..."

He never liked people calling him deaf.

Xiao Ran's gaze sank, and he said to Ah Deaf, "What is he coming here for, I have to find out."

Besides, he had to find out if he was that person.

Now that Xie Yan stepped into Anyu's fire pit, the dark guards might have presented him to his father.

If Xie Yan is not, then what about him, Xiao Zhan has nothing to do with it, the emperor wants to execute Xie Yan, maybe he will help——

He could see that Xie Yan was by no means the kind of powerful and brainless person who had a different heart, and keeping it would be a disaster for Da Chu.

But if Xie Yan is, then no matter what, he will jump into the fire pit with him, and then protect him tightly.

Never let go.

"There is one more thing." Ah Deaf lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only Xiao Zhan could hear: "The Third Highness is also in Lin'an, it seems... is also investigating Anyu."

Xiao Yan smiled indifferently when he heard the words, and didn't take it seriously: "That idiot...don't worry about him for now."

Wanting to rely on a non-existent dark jade to make meritorious service is simply beyond one's ability.Just relying on his brain, Xiao Ran felt that Xiao Ran would not be able to be the crown prince for the rest of his life.

Zuichunlou's mother has managed Zuichunlou for many years and has met many men.There are those who are unkempt, those who wear cloth shirts and gowns, those who are rich and noble, and there are also those who are dressed in plain clothes like Xie Yan.

But when she saw Xie Yan, her first reaction was to freeze in place, her smile froze a bit.

Xie Yan didn't wear a bamboo hat, but wore a white shirt, which was nothing but ordinary clothes.But he was born well, with a face as white as snow with regular features, and a smile in his phoenix eyes, he is dignified and gentle like jade.There is a pattern of phoenix wood flowers and tinsel on the forehead, which is charming for the girls in Zuichunlou.

Mom sighed in her heart, this is really a beauty.She greeted her with a smile: "This young master is a newcomer. Is this the first time here? Who are you looking for?"

Xie Yan replied with a smile: "I'm looking for Miss Xiaozhu."

The mother froze, looking a bit embarrassed: "Miss Xiaozhu...she has been ordered by others, why don't you change her name? We still have Miss Xiaolan, Miss Zhuzhu, and Miss Ke'er..."

When she spoke, Ah Deaf was coming down the stairs, Xie Yan remembered that this person was the guard next to Xiao Ji.

When Ah Deaf saw Xie Yan, his figure suddenly stopped, and even the look he looked at him changed.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed very similar to that young man.But there are so many similar people in the world, no one can say for sure, it might just be another coincidence.

"No need." Xie Yan understood, glanced at the faint shock in Ah Deaf's eyes, smiled lightly, bypassed his mother and walked straight to the second floor.

"Hey son! This little Zhu girl really has a guest..." Mom was anxious and wanted to go up and stop her.

This young master can't afford to offend Miss Xiaozhu's distinguished guest, when the distinguished guest gets angry, Zuichun Tower will inevitably be affected.

Ah Deaf patted her on the shoulder and handed her a silver ingot.Mom immediately understood, put on a smiling face, waved her handkerchief and shouted to Xie Yan: "Master! Turn left to the second room."

Xie Yan walked to the door, there were a few indistinct voices from inside, he paused for a second, pushed the door open, and a strong fragrance wafted instantly, Xie Yan subconsciously raised his sleeve to cover his nose.

There was a faint layer of smoke in the house, and the gauze curtains were naturally drawn down. Behind the curtains, the woman danced gracefully, singing probably "Snowland".

Xiao Zhan said, "Come and sit."

Xie Yan only got used to the aroma in the room now, he opened the curtain and saw Xiao Zhan pouring wine for him.

He didn't look outside, and said directly: "Miss Xiaozhu, lend me a loan."

Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to return to him, and after pouring the wine slowly, he finally raised his eyes slowly, but froze at that moment.

Xie Yan covered his face with his sleeves, only showing a pair of eyes.

Two
