Chapter 239: Misfortune and Water (Chapter 2)

There seemed to be some guests in the Han family's residence today. The servants in the house were busy. Although it was already time to light the lights, the sounds of silk and bamboo coming from the front meant that nightlife had just begun.

Li Muyun and Gongsun Lan climbed over the wall with the cover of night and entered a small garden in the back of the Han family. They took off the clothes for concealment from behind a rockery, revealing the clothes of the Han family servants inside.

"What should I do next?" Gongsun Lan asked with a hint of excitement after changing her clothes.

Li Muyun glanced at Gongsun Lan helplessly, pointed to the front and said, "You go ahead and see who that old guy is entertaining. If there is nothing to do, meet here at midnight."

"What about you? Are you not with me?" Gongsun Lan asked.

Li Muyun looked at Gongsun Lan who was a little nervous. It was obviously the first time this girl did such a thing. She was excited and was a little nervous. She always thought that there was someone around her to rely on.

But the problem now is that since the two of them have come in, they cannot be treated as one person. They must have their own division of labor and their respective duties, otherwise it would be better than Li Muyun who came in alone.

So Li Muyun could only sigh and explained to Gongsun Lan: "I have met the old lamp, and I will definitely be recognized by him if I go there. But you are different. The old lamp has never met you. Even if you stand in front of him, he will never recognize you."

"Then..., then okay, be careful yourself." Gongsun Lan was not a woman who was ignorant of importance. After hearing Li Muyun's words, he nodded to agree with his arrangement. In the end, he did not forget to instruct Li Muyun to be careful.

However, Li Muyun has done this kind of disguise and changed things in his previous life. He has long been familiar with it and has no uneasiness at all. Gongsun Lan's advice did not play any role except for making Li Muyun smile lightly.

...

In the night, Li Muyun and Gongsun Lan came to the door of the small garden. A wall was separated by two family generals guarding there.

The generals of the family are different from the servants. The servants are servants, but the generals' family is obviously one level higher than the servants.

For example, if a noble family is regarded as a business, then the servant is equivalent to a temporary worker hired, while the general is equal to the shareholder of the company. If the servant cannot continue working in a certain family, he can completely resign and change to another company; while the general is not. If they leave from a certain family, it is impossible for other families to take them in.

In other words, they and their family are a whole, prospering and losing. It is precisely because of this that almost all large families will not easily recruit family members, and if they accept them, they will inevitably be entrusted with important tasks.

Now, the small garden where Li Muyun and Gongsun Lan are actually part of the Han family's back house, which means that this place can be regarded as an important place. Except for the family generals who can stay here, it is impossible for them to be servants.

"What should I do?" Gongsun Lan leaned against the side of the door of the small garden and asked Li Muyun with her mouth shape.

Li Muyun looked outside, shook his head at Gongsun Lan, then waved his hand to her, signaling her to be calm and retreat a little.

Then, he bent down and felt a stone from the ground, put it in his hand and weighed it, then suddenly exerted force and threw it towards the rockery in the garden.

A "slam" sound of stones rolling down came from a long way in the night, and the two generals at the door naturally heard it clearly.

"Who! Come out." After a loud shout, two figures rushed towards the rockery in the courtyard.

However, after rushing to the rockery, they did not notice anything. There was silence everywhere, and there was no other movement except the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

"Fifth Brother!" Among the two generals, the younger one seemed a little nervous, probably because they were scared by the atmosphere in the garden.

"It's okay, I guess the gravel on the rockery fell down." The older general looked at the rockery, looked around, and then touched a stone from the ground and threw it over.

After basically the same sound, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and walked out of the small garden cursing.

It's just a stone, it's no big deal. They just rushed in very fast. If someone really was in the garden, they would definitely not be able to escape their eyes.

However, what they didn't know was that just as they were checking around the rockery, the two figures had already slipped out of the yard from behind and disappeared into the shadows outside.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was really suitable for the profession of killer. There was no infrared detection, no vibration alarm, and even the most common cards used to identify identity.

This made Li Muyun almost feel like a fish in water, and in the Han family's back house, it was like no one else's place.

Gongsun Lan's actions are more convenient. As a woman, neither the front or the back will have much obstacles to her actions. Even if she is walking openly on the road, no one will ask about her origin.

After all, the family is too big, there are too many maids and servants, and people leave every once in a while, and someone comes in. Even the old man who has been in the mansion for several years cannot be said to everyone know him.

So Gongsun Lan said one sentence from the back house to the front house: "My wife asked me to go to the front and ask the master if I need anything else."

With her sweet appearance and proud "chest muscles", almost no one doubted her, she came to the hall of the front house without any effort.

...

"Your Highness, King Zhao, you are a rare guest, and you can't even invite me at any time. This time I should be invited to the house and shine brightly." Gongsun Lan just entered the reception room in front and saw a half-large old man showing off to a young man on the main seat.

The young man seemed to enjoy such flattery and waved his hands carelessly: "Old Han, I've said it! Come and drink this glass." After saying that, he raised the wine on the table in front of him.

King Zhao Li Yuanjing, Li Yuan, the sixth son of Li Yuan, and his biological mother is Concubine Mo.

After killing his brothers, Li Shimin easily let go of his half-brothers, because these little guys were either too young or had insufficient background and could not pose a threat to his throne.

Li Yuan's other sons seemed to know that they had nothing to do with the throne, and they all lost their thoughts that they shouldn't have, just eating, drinking and having fun, and they ignored things in the court, so they came to protect themselves.

But after all, even if they don’t care about anything, they still have status. For third-rank ministers like Han Ai, it is normal to put on airs.

So Han Ai naturally did not dare to refuse the invitation from this young master. He raised the wine cup as he wanted and drank a glass with him.

"Old Han, what's wrong with you asking me to come here this time? Why not talk about it?" After drinking, Li Yuanjing looked at Han Ai and asked with a faint smile on his face.

Although Han Ai felt that Li Yuanjing's smile always had a special smell, in order to achieve his goal, he chose to ignore it first. He said with a flattering smile on his face: "I will not hide it from Your Highness, Your Highness, the old minister has won a peerless beauty these days. I heard that Your Highness collected all beauties from all over the world and wanted to present it to Your Highness."

"Oh? A peerless beauty?" Li Yuanjing was not good at anything else, just like the word "color". When he heard that a beauty had forgotten everything, he asked with his eyes lit up.

"That's right." Han Ai replied with a smile.

"Where are the people?" Li Yuanjing asked.

"Your Highness, don't worry, have a drink first, have a drink!" Han Ai smiled and raised her glass again to invite Li Yuanjing.

"Haha, Lao Han, you guys are so fond of you. It seems that you won't say that I won't drink this wine." Seeing Han Ai's firm attitude, and the "peerless beauty" made him feel itchy. He immediately beat him up and raised his head and drank the strong wine in his glass.

"The prince is so drunk, the old minister admires it!" Han Ai said 'admiration', but a faint contempt flashed in his eyes.

Just a lustful prince. After this time, I am afraid that you will have a big enemy of life and death. At that time, I am not afraid that you will not be obedient and stand on the same front with me and act as a gun for me.

...

After drinking one cup after another, Han Ai always had a reason to perfunctory Li Yuanjing. Until Li Yuanjing was so drunk that he couldn't sit still, then he said, "Prince, don't drink it again. If you drink it again, you will probably miss the auspicious time and miss the beautiful girl."

"Random, talk nonsense, I can drink again, who doesn't know that the more I drink, I become more and more courageous..." Li Yuanjing was indeed a little drunk, and almost bit his tongue when he spoke many times.

"Yes, yes, yes, the prince is huge, but if the prince drinks it again, wouldn't it be that the beauty is waiting for nothing?"

"Uh..., I said, that's right, then that's all. You, take me to see what kind of beauty your new beauty is. You praised it as rare and unparalleled in the ground." Li Yuanjing was persuaded by Han Ai and felt that it was a bit of a mistake to drink it. After hiccup, he burped, and he stood up and staggered and walked out of the hall.

"Prince, go here, go here." Han Ai followed Li Yuanjing and saw that he had gone in the wrong direction. He went straight to the direction of the mansion gate, and hurriedly grabbed him.

"Uh..., I actually went in the wrong direction, haha..." Li Yuanjing smiled embarrassedly, changed direction, walked beside Han Ai and asked stammeringly: "Old Han, come on, let me tell me what the name of that beauty is, and see if it deserves the word "beauty"."

At this point, Han Ai's plan has been half successful. He heard this and said, "I'm going to hide it from the prince. The woman's surname is Su and her name is Wanqing. How about it? This name is good."

Su Wanqing? Gongsun Lan, who has been following Han Ai and Li Yuanjing, has changed color. Excluding the existence of the same name and sex, it seems that Li Muyun's last wife is also called this name, and it seems that Su Wanqing is also in Chang'an during this period.

Damn, how could this happen? Where is that guy Li Muyun now? Should he notify him of this matter? Or what should he do if he can't notify him?
