Chapter 79 End with Literature and Martial Arts
"Xiang'er, it's you, it's you..."
Hearing the number, Huo Qingqing immediately shook Lv Xianger's arm excitedly. Lu Xianger was stunned and didn't know how to react. Lv Hong didn't expect that his sister would be selected. He couldn't help thinking of what Lv Xianger said before to abstain, and he was also a little confused.
Seeing that the middle-aged man on the stage was repeating it for the second time, Feng Wen quickly coughed a few times, which woke up Lv Hong and also woke up Lv Xianger. Seeing that the people in the lobby were looking around again, Lv Xianger had to get up helplessly and waved to the middle-aged people on the stage.
When the middle-aged man saw Lv Xianger get up and motioned, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then invite this little lady to the stage..."
"Please wait a minute--" Before the middle-aged man finished his words, the voice from the gate of the teahouse interrupted him. And when this voice attracted everyone's attention, a group of soldiers with long soldiers and armor poured into the Qingxin teahouse.
This emergency was unexpected by everyone. The people sitting at the door wanted to leave their seats and retreat to the middle of the lobby. But seeing the blades with cold light, these weak scholars actually stood at the same station and did not stand up. They could only look pale at the soldiers next to them, but they also saw sweat on their foreheads.
A general with a sword hanging around his waist standing in the middle of these soldiers, without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, arched his hand and said to him, "Dare to ask where the fourth prince is?"
"I'm here. Who are you? What's the matter?" When the fourth prince exclaimed in the lobby, he had already come out of the room. When he saw that the general downstairs asked himself, he immediately looked cold and stepped forward to let the general see himself.
When the general saw the fourth prince, he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the subordinate is Fang Zhe, the lieutenant of Guo Yi of Jiangling Zhe Chongfu. He has confidential matters to report to His Highness."
"Oh?" When the fourth prince saw the large number of government soldiers below, he slowly became serious and nodded and said, "Come on."
"Yes." Fang Zhe got up and quickly went upstairs. The soldiers downstairs were scattered everywhere, staring closely at everyone in the lobby. The more tense the atmosphere is, the silence in the Qingxin teahouse, leaving no trace of the lively atmosphere just now.
Soon, the fourth prince came out of the room, and Fang Zhe and the fourth prince's bodyguard followed closely. The fourth prince saw that all the people in the room on the second floor had come out and said in a clear voice, "Guys, I will do something next. Please don't panic. Otherwise, I will be irresponsible for catching the wrong person and frightening myself. After saying that, the fourth prince nodded to Fang Zhe regardless of the officials of the government office who wanted to open his mouth to ask.
Fang Zhe immediately stepped forward and said loudly to the soldiers downstairs, "Remember, don't hurt innocent people except those who want to be arrested."
"Obey--" The soldiers bowed neatly, and then a few people shuttled together in an orderly manner, either upstairs or upstairs.
It didn't take long for someone to jump up in this atmosphere, as if they wanted to run out. But before they ran as far as they could, those fast-trained government soldiers took them down, regardless of death or injury. Seeing the splashing blood, some little women couldn't help exclaiming, but she couldn't help covering her mouth when she thought of anything.
Lv Hong in the crowd stepped forward and stood in front of Lv Xianger and Huo Qingqing, so that they could not see the blood stains in the distance. Although Lv Xianger and Huo Qingqing couldn't see it, they heard screams. Huo Qingqing's little face was a little white with fear, but Lv Xianger began to vomit.
Huo Qingqing saw that Lv Xianger's reaction was not as good as herself, so she had some sister-like pride and quickly patted her on the back. In fact, Huo Qingqing didn't know that Lv Xianger was not afraid, but because her nose was very sensitive, and she couldn't stand the deep smell of blood.
However, Lv Xianger did not expect that her reaction would fall in the eyes of some people and be put on the hat of "not enough to be afraid". And in some things after that, it also brought some benefits to Lv Xianger, which also made her very grateful for today's gaffe.
At the same time, a very inconspicuous carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley diagonally opposite the gate of Qingxin Tea House. At this time, a government soldier was standing outside the carriage, bowing and whispering something. After the soldiers left, the curtain of the carriage box was opened, and Huo Qingsong's cold face appeared.
When Huo Qingsong put down the curtain, Huo Bao ran up the alley from there and sat on the carriage. He looked around and whispered, "General, the little lady is in the teahouse."
"What?" Huo Qingsong suddenly opened the curtain and said in a calm voice, "How could Qingqing come here?"
"General, my mother came with the brothers and sisters of the Lu family." Huo Bao recognized the anxiety in Huo Qingsong's tone and quickly turned around and said, "General, don't worry, the little lady was just a little frightened and was not hurt. I just saw her take care of Mrs. Lv who was so scared that she vomited.
"Little Lady Lu? Scared to vomit?" Huo Qingsong was stunned at first. Then, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he put down the curtain and retreated into the carriage. Before long, Huo Bao heard Huo Qingsong say softly, "Although I don't know why she vomited, she must not be scared. She is bold.
Huo Bao raised his ears and listened carefully to Huo Qingsong's whisper. But it was because he heard it clearly that a trace of strangeness appeared in Huo Bao's heart. Although he didn't understand where this strange feeling came from, he just felt very strange.
Huo Qingsong calmed down for a long time and asked in a low voice, "Have those people who inquired about Qingqing solved it?"
"Don't worry about small things, general. Not only the people who inquire about the little lady, but also the people who have recently followed the Lv brothers and sisters have solved it cleanly, ensuring that they can't find out who did it at all. Huo Bao patted his chest with a proud face.
Huo Qingsong shook his head and said, "Don't be careless. In addition, we should find out who is behind it as soon as possible, and we must solve this problem before we go back to Beijing. Otherwise, if my uncle knows, he will say it's not finished in my ear.
"I know, General." Huo Bao nodded and suddenly remembered something. He immediately said happily, "General, is the prince awake?"
"Well, I'm awake, and it's getting better and better day by day. You can also rest assured and do things at ease. After saying this, Huo Qingsong closed his eyes. Huo Bao, who already knows Huo Qingsong very well, is not asking anything, but stares at the Qingxin Teahouse attentively.
"Your Highness, there is no omission, all of them have been caught." Fang Zhe got the report from his men and immediately reported it to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince took a look. More than a dozen people were tied up by the soldiers. He nodded and said, "Very good. Take them all away. I'll go back with you."
"Yes. Your Highness, the subordinate will take the person out of the Qingxin Teahouse first and wait for Your Highness outside. Fang Zhe saluted the fourth prince, and quickly opened the teahouse with all the government soldiers and the arrested people.
Without those government soldiers, the tense and solemn atmosphere in the teahouse immediately slowed down. Some people who had just stood up in fear also slowly sat back. But the messy lobby and the residual smell of blood indicate that the party will end here.
The fourth prince Zhao Chengmin looked around the teahouse, and there were some distracted people and smiled. After clearing his throat, he said, "Guys, although what happened just now is a little sudden, it is also for the people of the Zhou Dynasty to continue to live a stable life. Therefore, please don't take what just happened to heart. Moreover, although I came to Jiangling for the first time, I also knew a lot about Jiangling. After my son returns to the palace, I will definitely tell my father that Jiangling is outstanding. I believe that Luming Academy will support a lot of talents for the court..."
The words of the fourth prince added some luster to the faces of everyone in the teahouse. The impact of what just happened also slowly dissipated. When the fourth prince and the officials of the Jiangling government office left, the blood stains in the lobby were also removed, as if nothing had really happened.
However, this 'literary and martial arts' party can't go on. Because most of the little ladies at the party have no intention to perform anything. They just want to go back to their homes and have a good sleep so that they can forget the unpleasant experience tonight.
As the owner of Qingxin Teahouse and one of the organizers of this party, Liao Wenbo decided to give a bag of Anshen tea to all the little ladies present to apologize. I have to say that this move has raised his reputation to another level tonight.
Lv Xianger could see clearly that when every little woman left the teahouse, she looked reluctantly at Liao Wenbo, who was standing on the second floor, and wanted to get his response. And Liao Wenbo also lived up to expectations and always looked at every little lady leaving with a smile on his face. Lv Xianger looked at the little ladies who had left with a shy face, and her eyes were full of spring water. She couldn't help shivering and quickly followed a maid to the locker room prepared by the teahouse.
Because Lv Xianger just vomited and stained her clothes, a maid came to her side and wanted to take her to change her clean clothes. Although the clothes did not fit, such a thoughtful arrangement still made Lv Xianger admire Liao Wenbo's business acumen. As the maid came out of the locker room, there were not many people in the lobby. Lv Xianger hurried to Lv Hong and Huo Qingqing and prepared to leave with them.
When the three of them turned around and were about to leave, someone behind them said, "Three people, please stay. This is the special Anshen tea made by our teahouse. Please take it back and taste it.
"Thank you very much... Mr. Liao?" The three turned around and thought it was the second child in the teahouse. They wanted to say thank you. Unexpectedly, when the three turned around, they found that the person standing in front of them was Liao Wenbo.
