Chapter 52: A Thousand Strange Pairs


Bursts of green smoke mixed with water vapor escaped from the half-closed windows.

The fire in the kitchen had been extinguished, leaving only the mess in the house and the smell of burnt wood.

"Your Highness, the fire has been put out, but the princess has not been found yet," the butler replied tremblingly.

"Keep looking.

The fire is not big.

It is impossible to find the person."

Li Ke's heart was clenched.

The fire was extinguished as soon as it started.

Even if it might burn people, it would never be possible to leave no bones.

"Your Highness, everything in the mansion has been emptied, but there is still no sign of the princess."

Lie Yan added.

"Then why did she disappear out of thin air?"

Li Ke gritted his teeth.

He hated himself for not stopping her from going to the kitchen, and why he was still teasing her.

"Your Highness, please calm down.

It's possible that the princess is no longer in the house," Lie Yan said again.

"Is there anything unusual happening over there at Changsun Wuji?"

Li Ke's eyes turned cold instantly.

If anyone dared to touch his woman, he would definitely kill him.

"No, and according to the report from the secret guard, no one has been near the palace."

Lie Yan was also puzzled, how could the princess get into trouble under her nose despite the strict security.

"Could it be that she escaped on her own?

She ordered the city gate to be guarded.

All suspects were arrested and await trial.

We searched the entire Tanzhou City to find them for me."

Li Ke punched the table next to him, and the table instantly Collapse.

In an instant, Tanzhou City was tightly surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Not to mention suspicious assassins, even the common people were interrogated one by one.

"I wonder what happened?"

People on the street were whispering.

"I heard that a prisoner escaped today, so we sent troops to investigate."

Passerby A looked around, covered his lips and whispered.

"I've also heard that this fugitive actually committed some evil deeds, including killing people, stealing goods, raping, and looting."

Passerby B added.

"Hey, it seems that things are going to be uneasy these days.

I have to go home and lock the door.

I must not let my daughter be kidnapped before she gets married."

Passer-by C said, and the people on the street dispersed like a swarm of bees. .

The noisy street suddenly became quiet.

The clothes were torn and torn, and the clothes had been alternately stained with oil and charcoal to create a landscape painting.

The hair was messy, and the fair face was covered by black ash so that it was difficult to see the original appearance.

She quickly took off all her hairpins and jewelry for fear of attracting the fugitive's attention.

I still have lingering fears about being chased by a lewd thief that day.

Women's clothing is indeed not safe.

Youyang wanted to change into men's clothes, but she didn't have any money with her, so she had an idea and pawned all her hairpins and jewelry.

When she got the money, she bought men's clothes and stayed at an inn.

She washed away the smell of fireworks and put on men's clothes.

To ensure safety, she cut off some hair and stuck it around her lips, which greatly increased her masculinity.

After staying in the inn for several days, she never left the room.

First, she was afraid that she would have to spend money if she went out.

Although her jewelry was expensive, the money she could exchange for it was limited because she was in a hurry.

Secondly, she was afraid that it would not be safe to go out, and that she might be targeted by fugitives given her unlucky odds.

In the past few days, officers and soldiers came to check from time to time.

Youyang didn't think much about it.

Anyway, the officers and soldiers just took a look and left without asking too much.

She just thought that ward rounds were popular in ancient times.

"Ah" Youyang held her chin and wailed.

The inn room was too stuffy and she needed to go out for some air.

Youyang put on men's clothes, glued on a fake beard, and looked in the mirror to make herself look even uglier, looking like a middle-aged and wretched man.

"Bgo" she snapped her fingers and jumped out of the door.

A store on the corner of the street was bustling with activity, with men, women, old and young standing side by side, successfully attracting Youyang's attention.

"Xuzhuo Pavilion" melodiously chewed on the large Chinese characters on the plaque, raised his toes and looked inward.

"I'm unfamiliar with you, little brother.

I'm afraid he doesn't come to the studio often." asked an old man with thick eyebrows and black hair next to him.

"Haha, yes, I don't know what the meaning of this study hall is."

Youyang smiled awkwardly and asked a question.

"It is said that it is like exchanging lessons with each other, and like polishing like polishing.

This exchanging and polishing hall is specially designed for scholars to learn from each other and improve their knowledge."

The old man replied.

You Yang raised his eyebrows, then this is the place where people dance and write.

There are crowds of people inside and outside the door.

It seems that there are quite a lot of people who love literature in Tanzhou.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled as if he had read through Youyou's thoughts.

"There are not many ordinary people here.

Today, a young man came from nowhere in the study hall.

He set up a strange match and threatened to reward the person who deciphered the code with a thousand taels of silver.

Everyone was just watching the excitement."

Youyang nodded, oh, yes, I love the couplet, but I am afraid that I am so illiterate that I can't even watch the excitement.

Suddenly, a force pushed Youyang into the door, and she fell to the ground unprepared.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and all eyes were focused, either surprised or ridiculed.

Youyang stood up and patted the dust off her clothes.

Men of letters always had their eyes set on top of their heads, so it was reasonable to be disdainful of her dressing up like this.

But why is her purse missing?

Melodious and decadent, he sat on the ground again.

The money bag must have been stolen by a pickpocket just now.

This time, he was probably going to drink the northwest wind.

"Are you okay?"

A young man from nowhere offered a helping hand to Youyang.

Youyang raised her eyes and was shocked for a moment to see a man with white clothes and black hair.

He was seven feet tall.

His handsome features looked particularly distinct due to his rosy complexion, but he was a bit tougher than most literati men.

Wow, another handsome guy.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Youyang smiled awkwardly, her eyebrows arched, completely forgetting the image of a wretched man she portrayed.

"Young Master is here to deal with it."

There was a smile in the man's bright eyes, exuding a romantic and free spirit.

"Haha, no," Youyang waved her hands, muttering to herself that she couldn't even recognize what the pair hanging in front of her said, let alone deal with it.

"Since you're here, you might as well give it a try," the man added.

Before Youyang could answer, someone read the first couplet again.

"Wangjiang Tower, watch the river flow, watch the river flow from the Wangjiang Tower, the river tower will last forever, and the river will flow forever."

"This is an eternal wonder.

I am afraid that no one can take away this thousand taels of silver today."

The literati sighed.

Youyang was shocked.

She happened to know this pairing because there was a complete calligraphy and painting hanging in Li Ke's room.

She deliberately asked him for advice when she had nothing to do.

Youyang's smile was extremely bright.

Huang Tian really lived up to his intentions.

It seemed that this thousand taels of silver belonged to her.

She cleared her throat and responded loudly.

"Appreciate the snow ridge, enjoy the snow scene, enjoy the snow scene at the top of the snow ridge, the snow ridge will last forever, and the snow scene will last forever."

The noisy workshop fell silent for a moment, and eyes gathered together again, either thinking or surprised.

Youyang scratched her head, could it be that she remembered it wrong?

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Discussions and praises arose.

The literati all sighed to themselves, but no one thought that they would be dealing with this little man with a bad image.

Youyang breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he remembered correctly.

"This is yours."

The handsome man brought the tray filled with silver coins.

"Is this your pair?"

Youyang asked doubtfully
