Chapter 83: The Spring Trial
A handsome young man in brocade robes and purple robes was sitting alone on the window seat on the third floor of Jiuxianju.
In his hand, he held a small silver pot filled with Taibaixian's fine wine. He was thinking about something and was lost in thought.
Dressed in white clothes, fluttering like an immortal, he came quietly and landed softly opposite the person's table of Eight Immortals, with a solemn expression and no words.
"Well! You're here!"
The purple-robed young man glanced down at the ground opposite the table. When he saw the light clothes in white, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He just lowered his head and exchanged greetings without saying much.
"Well."
The young man in white groaned in a low voice in response.
"Bai Yu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
The purple-robed young man finally raised his head, his eyes were like two sharp swords, fierce and sharp, as if he wanted to pierce the heart of the person sitting opposite him with an arrow. He raised his chin and asked menacingly.
"Of course I know why you invited me here today, but, just..."
Bai Yu was glanced at by that sharp sword-like gaze, and he hesitated.
"What are you stuttering about? Tell me quickly! Why are the red lanterns and the words "happy" hanging high in our Prince Mian's West Mansion? They have even prepared the phoenix crown and harem of Guan Shanyue! Didn't you say you have a way?
? What on earth is going on?"
Lu Chengfeng suddenly stood up and kicked the bench under his feet, which made a rattling sound and attracted the attention of everyone on the third floor of Jiuxianju.
"Sit down first! Sit down!"
Bai Yu looked around hastily and said in a panic.
After Lu Chengfeng calmed down, he let out a long sigh, the hills between his brows thick and stagnant, and explained:
"Your Highness, since you and I have a common goal, I will naturally not deceive you on this matter! However, I didn't expect that my method would not work at all! Alas..."
"You! What can you do? Ask your father to take back your life? How is that possible? The marriage between the two countries is already a certainty! Your father will delay his national plans just because of your affair with Guan Shanyue's children.
! What a joke! I don’t know what’s going on in your head! Childish!”
Lu Chengfeng didn't even have time to wait for him to finish his explanation before he blurted out impatiently and scolded him condescendingly.
Knowing that there is no chance, at least you can take a breath!
But the strange thing is that Bai Yu gave Lu Chengfeng the impression that he was a very shrewd and smooth person. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so stupid or naive!
Lu Chengfeng thought about it carefully, and his heart was full of doubts. He looked at Bai Yu's eyes suspiciously and stared at them:
"You're not kidding me again, are you? Have you had enough acting?"
"Tricking you? Absolutely impossible! I don't care whether you believe it or not, whether I am really helping you, but I said, I don't want to watch Yue'er become someone else's wife! Do you believe me now?"
Bai Yu asked back, and then quickly argued:
"Of course I, Bai Yu, am not stupid enough to ask my father to take back my fame. However, I did go to a flying pigeon to send a letter to him, begging him to come forward and issue an imperial edict to finalize the marriage for me and Princess Nianjiao.
Otherwise, I would not go back to help him consolidate the imperial power. But I didn’t expect that he didn’t respond at all! Alas, he has always been cold-blooded and ruthless. I thought I had enough bargaining chips for this blackmail! After all, it was just a miscalculation on my part.
!”
Bai Yu patted his head hard and kept sighing.
Sighing briefly, lamenting and sighing again and again.
Lu Chengfeng rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to respond to him.
Forget it! Even the final struggle has been made! What else can I do?
As the grandson of a concubine, he was not summoned by the emperor, nor led by his father, queen, mother, and concubines. According to the rules of the Jingguo Palace, he could not enter the palace without authorization to meet the saint.
Therefore, during the past few days of waiting for news, he was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and could only wait helplessly, unable to do anything else.
At this moment, the dust has settled.
Anyway, I am a man, so it would not be a bad idea to marry a princess.
As for the fairy in purple, with her otherworldly thoughts and temperament, she probably doesn’t want to have the same husband as her daughter! Alas!
In this case, it is better to help her in her urgent need and make her unforgettable for the rest of her life. It is better to miss you than to miss you for the rest of your life.
Lu Chengfeng thought secretly in his heart, and when he spoke, he softened his tone a lot and said:
"Forget it! The marriage between the two countries is not up to you and me! We are in the royal family and we have no control over it. Since it has become a foregone conclusion that cannot be changed, I will not argue with you! Don't worry, Guan Shanyue, I will not
Touch her! I’m not interested in the women from the north end of you at all!”
Lu Chengfeng was almost about to call him a shrew, Yasha, but when he thought about spying on Bai Yu for information, he had to ask for help after all, so he had to swallow back all the cheerful words that came to his mouth.
As expected, Bai Yu had a grateful look on his face and murmured endless gratitude, asking Lu Chengfeng to take good care of his Guan Shanyue.
Seeing that Lu Chengfeng nodded in agreement and promised that he would never touch her, Bai Yu was as happy as a child.
His face turned red in an instant, he raised a small silver pot high, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
He put down the silver pot, smashed it in his mouth, laughed heartily for a while, and shouted:
"Hahahahaha! So happy! The first time I met Your Highness, I knew that Your Highness and I were of the same mind! Sure enough! Your Highness, come! Tonight, the two of us will not go home until we are drunk!"
Lu Chengfeng quietly pressed down the small silver pot filled with fine wine and jade liquid in his hand. With a solemn expression on his face, he changed into an aggressive posture, looked at Bai Yu and asked:
"Let me ask you, was it you who burned the big lantern with dragons and phoenixes? Or did you send people from your Divine Fire Thunder Gate to do it? Don't try to hide it from me, you have been exposed! You can also control fire.
Technique! Moreover, when you stopped me halfway that day, I clearly saw the fire-devouring thunder bead in your hand!"
"I have answered this question for you a long time ago! You still don't want to believe me after all! I said it! It's not me! It's not me! Do you think I have to go against you everywhere because I am the Prince of the North End? I still think you
The two of us have already hit it off!"
Bai Yu was annoyed by his aggressive offensive. In addition, the two of them had drunk a lot of Taibaixian before they knew it. When they were tipsy, their voices gradually increased. When they were excited, they even yelled,
The momentum has already broken through the seats and shocked the whole audience!
"He drank too much! He talked drunkenly when he drank too much! The Prince of the North End opened a shop as soon as he opened the shop! Hehehehe..."
Lu Chengfeng quickly poked his head out of the seat by the window, smiled at the other guests on the third floor of Jiuxianju, waved his hands awkwardly, and denied it.
After that, he lowered his voice again and taught Bai Yu a lesson:
"I said to you, you have forgotten how you were fucked in the teahouse that day.
Are you tied up? Why don't you scream louder? See if this room full of people will rush up and tie you up again and send you to jail?"
"Shh..."
Bai Yu was indeed a little drunk. He put a finger to his lips and let out a silent hiss with hazy eyes. His body was swaying and he looked like he couldn't even sit still.
He really doesn't look like any of the barbarians from the north.
With this amount of alcohol, not to mention the cheating mode of Haiwan Doujiu at the North End, even a cultivator like Lu Chengfeng who could not drink regularly in the past could not compare.
Lu Chengfeng shook his head helplessly, helped him sit up firmly, and let him lie down, only leaning his face out so that his nose could get some air.
Seeing his drunken and silly look, Lu Chengfeng was secretly happy in his heart. It seemed that he had chosen the right place to have a drink with him at Jiuxianju today!
I got so drunk after just a few drinks! God help me!
Then, let me work hard and pursue the victory!
I don’t believe it today and I can’t pry your mouth open!
Lu Chengfeng thought about it and asked quickly:
"Hey! Bai Yu! Cuttlefish! Let me ask you again! Who burned the dragon and phoenix lanterns on the Lantern Festival?"
"No, it's not me! Yes, it's Yue, Yue'er, she, she..."
Bai Yu's face was as red as a ripe apple, and before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes heavily.
Not long after, he started breathing evenly and fell into a sound sleep.
Come on! This is the second person I’ve gotten drunk in Jiuxianju!
Lu Chengfeng smiled triumphantly again.
After watching this, Zhui Feng laughed at me for not being as good at drinking as other people! I already have a lot of water, but Zhui Feng’s weight is from the Pacific Ocean!
When he thought that the person who was so drunk and sleeping soundly in the third floor of Jiuxianju last time was Miss Youjia, Lu Chengfeng's heart felt like a knife.
So, regardless of Bai Yu sleeping soundly, he couldn't help shaking his body violently and asked again:
"You said it was Guan Shanyue who burned that lamp? Are you willing to testify for me?"
Bai Yu was shaken by him and vomited for a while, then he straightened up and said bitterly:
"If you testify, testify! Don't shake me! I still want to vomit!"
After saying that, there was another overwhelming feeling.
Lu Chengfeng rushed down to the lobby on the first floor with great interest, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper for paper and pen, scribbling a few words in a hurry, and wrote down the general situation.
When he handed it to Bai Yu, he saw the dying man lying on the table again, his eyes blankly in a trance, and he shouted loudly:
"Bai Yu, come on! Sign! If that doesn't work, just fingerprint it!"
Bai Yu said "Oh" and obediently handed over his hand.
Lu Chengfeng smiled happily and quickly pressed Bai Yu's hand to make a fingerprint.
Suddenly I realized that all I needed was paper and pen, no inkstone or ink pad.
As a result, he quickly and lightly bit his finger, making a hole in it, and squeezed out the blood from his fingertip.
Then, he rubbed Bai Yu's hand on the blood gurgling out of his fingertips, then pressed the big hand, and you're done!
Just when he was about to appreciate his masterpiece, he suddenly heard someone sitting down in the booth next door.
Someone there asked:
Chapter completed!
