Chapter 387 Aren’t you jealous?
Although King Xiao kept his power secretly, he was good at forbearing and planning.
But Mu Cang was obviously better than him.
After all, mother and son had spent a lot of effort to secretly open up the secret passage, but now they had obviously fallen into Mu Cang's control.
Yan Li didn't ask too much.
As the former empress of the Southern Kingdom and now the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, she is really not stupid enough to ask questions about everything.
Mu Cang blatantly brought her in, which proved that he not only controlled the secret passage here, but even the exit on the opposite side must have arranged his closest men.
King Xiao has completely lost his bargaining chip.
The next morning, a young man indeed brought two horses. The entrance of the huge horse was just enough for an adult horse to pass through. Their horses' hooves were tied with thick cotton cloth, and most of the horses' hooves were gone. They made a dull sound when galloping. The sound of horse hooves.
The man also brought 놅 jerky 놌 water for convenience.
So Mu Cangyan Li started a journey underground for several days.
The biggest advantage of traveling underground than on the ground is that the climate is slightly warmer. Even in the early morning, there is no bone-chilling feeling from the cold wind. After all, as we all know, the wind hitting the face is like a knife cutting flesh.
Even if Yan Li is a martial arts practitioner with a relatively strong body, he never likes that feeling.
At noon two days later, the two of them came out of a courtyard.
The horse was led to the stable by the boy.
Next to the villa is the Shi'an River, with many lofts on the riverside and boats stationed on the river. Even in the daytime when there are not many people, 껩땣 feels the prosperity and wealth here.
"This is the most famous and prosperous place in the South, and the favorite place for literati." Yan Li stood by the river, looking at the Shi'an River, which was more than ten miles long from north to south. "It's very lively at night, with singing girls on the boat. The melodious and melodious sound of the piano is the most beautiful feature of Shi’an River.”
It's because there are so many people here and it's a famous and prosperous place.
Everyone in the ninth stream of teachings has it.
High-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, sons of aristocratic families, dandy boys, and even ruffians all gathered here. No matter who appeared, they would not attract attention.
The exit of the secret passage is located here, which is the most concealed from others - for those who don't know, this is indeed the case.
But insiders have been waiting here for many days.
A small boat rowed over from far on the river and stopped in front of Yanli Mu Cang.
There was a young man in a green robe standing on the boat. He held his hands towards Yan Li and Mu Cang and said, "Miss Yan, Mr. Mu."
It's just a simple title, it's ordinary, but it undoubtedly knows their identity.
Mu Cang said nothing, while Yan Li looked at him with raised eyebrows.
The man in green robe said: "Young master of the 놖 family has been waiting here for many days. I hope you two can come and see me."
Yan Li smiled faintly: "Logically speaking, it should be your young master who comes to see me."
The expression of the man in green robe changed slightly, and then he lowered his head and said: "Miss Yan is right. Mr. 놖's original words were 'I wonder if Miss Yan is willing to meet him'. He did not ask Miss Yan to go see him. If Miss Yan is willing, , I’ll go back and report to the young master right now.”
Yan Li hummed: "Since he has made a special trip to wait here, wouldn't it be a loss of face for him if he didn't see me?"
"Excuse me." The man in green robe rowed the boat and quickly rowed towards the opposite river bank.
Yan Li stood on the shore and watched him leave, with a hint of indifference on her face: "Mu Cang, do you think the person coming is Shen Yanshu or Prince Xiao?"
"Shen Yanshu." Mu Cang said calmly, "For so many years, Prince Xiao has been staying in the imperial capital like an old monk. Ever since he took a step forward, Shen Yanshu has been responsible for all external plans."
Yan Li looked at the ripples on the water under the sunlight, turned around and walked towards the other courtyard: "I've been traveling for more than two days, I'm tired."
"First take a shower and change clothes, then have lunch and rest for half a day." Mu Cang followed her, "Now that we are here, tonight we will appreciate the prosperity and luxury of Shi'an River in the evening, and then come out to relax."
"It's a pity that I'm not a boy." Yan Li said with regret, "Otherwise, the beauties above and below would have indulged themselves."
Mu Cang's expression was subtle: "Southern China has always emphasized equality between men and women. Moreover, powerful women, even if they recruit some beautiful young men to drink and have fun, they will be allowed to do so."
Yan Li turned her head and glanced at him: "Aren't you jealous?"
Mu Cang looked at her silently, as if to say that she knew what he was asking.
"Even if you are not jealous, this is not a good place to find a beautiful boy." Yan Li said in a calm tone, "This is a gentle place for men."
The beauties on the Shi'an River Painted Boat are all extremely beautiful, and they are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are pure, charming, pretty, passionate... There are all kinds of beauties, playing, playing and singing, making men willing to spend a lot of money but still feel that it is not enough. Have fun.
As for the beautiful boys, sorry, there are really not many.
Nanyang Villa is very large, with a wide area, a deep courtyard, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. It is completely different from the small courtyard at the entrance of Fenglu.
The small courtyard in Fenglu looks like a place where ordinary people live.
At first glance, this Nanyang Villa is a place where distinguished talents live. It is surrounded by pavilions and corridors. On both sides of the pavilions and corridors, precious koi carps are playing in the lake.
Leaning on the highest attic of the courtyard, you can appreciate the brilliant lights of Shi'an River at night without going out.
It is an ultimate enjoyment to close your eyes and listen to the beautiful singing voice of a beautiful woman.
Of course, with such a luxurious villa located in such a place, the cost is naturally not cheap.
"Nanyang Villa was not called Nanyang Villa before." Mu Cang took the initiative to explain, "After I paid someone to buy it, it was changed to Nanyang Villa. All the guards and servants in the villa were cleared out and replaced by our own people."
Yan Li was not surprised: "I guessed it."
Nanyang Villa.
It was the name of her title of Nanyang Princess in Mu State. If the villa belonged to someone else, it could be considered a coincidence.
Since the owner is Mu Cang, it is easy to guess his thoughts that are only not written on his face.
But then again, Yan Li was still surprised: "You can actually buy the villa under the name of King Xiao?"
