Chapter 15 The Swing in the Wall
Yingguo Gongfu.
The large mansion with red tiles and green tiles, brackets and flying eaves has a vague sense of desolation and desolation. Even the big pillar in front of the door has some mottled paint.
Li Ke and Qin Mubai looked like two disciples, standing in front of the gate and smiling wildly at the same time.
"Your Highness, is it appropriate for us to break into Duke Ying's residence like this?" Qin Mubai asked. In fact, he wanted to ask who Duke Ying was, lest he be exposed.
"What's wrong? I am an honored guest that they can't even invite." Li Ke smiled nonchalantly, jumped off the horse and threw the whip to the pawn beside him. He cut his hands behind his back and looked up at the gray plaque.
He clicked his tongue and said, "What a great change in current affairs! I remember hearing that when the warrior Yu Xuxian married the daughter of the Yang family of the former Sui clan, the person who officiated the wedding was my eldest princess of the royal family. What a sight it was. I didn't expect that the warrior Yu passed away.
Within two years, the Wu family was reduced to such a situation that even the paint on the door peeled off."
Too many words lead to mistakes. Qin Mubai didn't answer, but thought in his heart: Duke Ying's warrior Yan...Warrior Yan, why does it sound so familiar? It seems that he has heard it many times on TV?
The door of Duke Ying's Mansion was open, and there were no servants guarding the door. The two disciples strode in grandly and saw that many places in the courtyard were covered with grass and grass, and many places in the corridors and corridors were covered with grass.
The thick dust doesn't look like a prosperous aristocratic family.
"Could it be that no one has lived in Duke Ying's mansion for many years and they just recently moved in?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Definitely." Li Ke said, "Warrior Yi was the governor of Jingzhou and died in his post. The Ying Guogong's house in Chang'an had not been taken care of for many years. After Warrior Yi passed away more than a year ago, the imperial court issued an order allowing the descendants of the Wu family to move.
I came back to live in Chang'an. I must have moved here not long ago. Otherwise, there would be so few servants. Mu Bai, let's not talk about this kind of thing - haven't you heard that this warrior Yan Xuxian
My wife is a very capable person?"
"How can I do this?" Qin Mubai asked.
"It's harmful to have daughters!" Li Ke's handsome face showed a strange smile, and he whispered, "After she married the warrior Yan, she gave birth to three daughters in a row. Each one was more beautiful than the other, and they were all like flowers.
Like jade. Especially the second daughter... Although the Wu family lives far away in Jingzhou, their beauty reputation has spread throughout Chang'an City!"
"That is indeed beautiful to a certain extent." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.
It had been a while since the two of them walked into the mansion with five or six soldiers, but no one from the mansion came out to make a move. Although it is an exaggeration to say "the house will not be closed at night if the road is not picked up", the security in Chang'an City has always been very good, and the wealthy family
Rich families never close their doors during the day to show their openness and tolerance. However, large houses as cold and careless as the Wu family are really rare.
Li Ke stopped and looked around, waving his hands impatiently. Five or six armored soldiers around him shouted at the top of their lungs: "Is there anyone here?"
After several shouts, two young men in their twenties and two old servants rushed out in a hurry. Seeing this formation, they were obviously a little frightened and hurriedly came to greet them.
"Your Excellencies, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, you are far away from me. I wonder how you call your distinguished guest?" The two young men looked very similar. They seemed to be a pair of brothers. They raised their hands and asked with fear and uneasiness.
"Bold! Can you ask His Highness the name of King Wu?!"
The two brothers Yuan Qing and Yuan Shuang trembled in unison and hurriedly prostrated: "The villain is guilty, I hope His Highness will show mercy and forgive you!"
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are the sons of the warrior Yan.
Although the warrior Yi was a first-class Duke of Ying, he was very famous in the early Tang Dynasty. Not only was he one of the eight prime ministers, but he also commanded the imperial army and was extremely favored for a while, but that was more than ten years ago. He was
