In the evening, Ling Zhu heard about the cold war between Qi Luo and Yinzhen from Dong Shi. Dong Shi was very worried, and Ling Zhu comforted him, "What's the matter? Without going through wind and rain, how can the relationship go further, and Qi Luo is so smart I won't let myself fall into an embarrassing situation, cold war, I'm afraid." Ling Zhu chuckled, raised his eyebrows and said with some expectation, "I really want to see the reaction of the fourth elder brother? With Qi Luo's personality, I will Adding the matter of Hong Min, I think the one who suffers will be the present Prince Yong."

"However, there is no relationship between them at all, and there is such a cold war going on." Mrs. Dong leaned on Ling Zhu and said anxiously, "Si elder brother is Prince Yong after all, how can there be fewer women? I am afraid that the cold war will really make the cold war worse." Qi Luo is guarding the empty room."

Ling Zhu lay on the bed and hugged Mrs. Dong in his arms, and frowned worriedly, thinking of Yinzhen's usual behavior, "Maybe our daughter is tying that net? Qi Luo always knew what she wanted, You don't have to worry about her, she is very accurate, if the fourth elder brother really snubs Qi Luo because of other women, then he doesn't deserve Qi Luo's affection. Wouldn't it be better to recognize it earlier? It will save you from being sad in the future Sad, Qi Luo will not let her suffer any grievances with us here."

Dong gave a soft hum, and fell asleep in Ling Zhu's arms.Ling Zhu looked at his wife in his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief. Some things had to be resolved. Ling Zhu had a premonition that the time for him to lead his troops to the battlefield seemed to be getting closer. Wife and daughter leave future troubles.Ling Zhu raised his hand and looked at his palm, thinking about the blood stained after coming to ancient times, men should be more ruthless, you are not a soft-hearted saint, there is nothing you can't do for your own family ?Resoluteness flashed in Ling Zhu's eyes, he hugged Mrs. Dong tightly and closed his eyes, muttering, "It's bad luck for you to meet us, it's good for you to get rid of it earlier, and it will save you from suffering."

In the wine shops in the capital, there are many people coming and going, most of them are idle bannermen, some with birdcages, some with small teapots in their hands, or three or two together, talking about the freshness of the capital. thing.Ling Cheng was dressed in a green cloth gown, his face was unshaven, his braids were a little messy, and he was drunk with a wine glass.The people next to Ling Cheng who were familiar with Ling Cheng ridiculed the current Ling Cheng's appearance, and sometimes would laugh at him a few words, just for fun.

Someone next to him laughed and said, "Ling Cheng, you didn't go to the eighth prince's mansion? When your girl was pregnant, weren't you very proud?" Ling Cheng didn't talk to him, but drank the wine and shook the flagon , shouted loudly, "Xiaoer, let's have another pot of wine, Xiaoer, are you deaf?" A person dressed as a typical shop waiter ran over and saw Ling Cheng, with a displeased face on his face, "My lord, are you deaf?" I owe a lot of wine money, and the shopkeeper said that I can't let you pay any more, and when you settle the money, there will be fine wine."

Ling Cheng stood up suddenly, grabbed Xiao Er's neck and stared at him, cursing, "Do you know who I am? You dare to talk to me like that. I think you're a big deal when I'm drinking here. I think I didn't .”

Xiao Er pushed Ling Cheng away, and said loudly, "My lord, there is no one in the capital who doesn't know about you. I'm jealous of Zhiyuan Hou. Since my daughter is going to be a housekeeper, we don't welcome people like you. You'd better settle the drink bill as soon as possible, so as not to hinder other guests." Ling Cheng had already drank too much, his feet were shaking, and he wanted to go forward, but Xiao Er called a few people to carry Ling Cheng out and threw him on the ground outside. Cheng got up and wanted to go forward, Xiao Er winked, and the person next to him stepped forward and punched Ling Cheng, and when he wanted to hit Ling Cheng again, someone stopped him.

Ling Zhu didn't wear the military uniform of the commander of the guard camp, but wore a normal blue sword-sleeve shirt, and sat majestically on the horse. It was Ling Zhu's entourage who stopped everyone.Ling Zhu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Cheng, sighed and got off the horse, helped Ling Cheng up and said helplessly, "Cousin, why are you in this state?" Ling Cheng grabbed Ling Zhu's eyes and the jealousy flashed past, He lowered his head and kowtowed, "I, I. I can only do this, what else can I have now? Zhiyuanhou, hehe, Zhiyuanhou, do you still remember that I am your cousin?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Ling Zhu's eyes, he had already found out that Ling Cheng often drank here, and today Dong E's family went to the temple to pray for Qi Zhen, that's why Ling Zhu came here, Ling Zhu sighed softly, and said to Xiao Gu He ordered, "Look at how much he owes for the wine, and double it to the shopkeeper." Xiao Gu responded, took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er.Xiaoer hurriedly took it respectfully, Ling Cheng did not let go of Ling Zhu, "Cousin, go to my house, I want to have a good talk with you, we are of the same clan after all."

In the eyes of those around him, Zhi Yuanhou sent Ling Cheng back to his mansion with a helpless face. When he arrived at Ling Cheng's mansion, Ling Cheng's mansion is even more depressed now, and there are very few servants. Seeing Ling Zhu, the butler hurried forward to press the button "Master Hou, have you sent the master back?" Ling Cheng dragged Ling Zhu to the main room, and ordered the housekeeper to set up a banquet. housekeeper.

The butler took it with a nod and bow, and went down to prepare the banquet.Ling Zhu looked around, and even the decoration of the main room was extremely shabby.After a while, the banquet was set up.At this time, Ling Cheng seemed to be sober, pulling Ling Zhu to persuade him to drink frequently, telling his anguish and regret.Ling Zhu comforted him a few words and drank a few glasses of wine.Ling Zhu felt a little dizzy after drinking a few cups, and then he lay down on the table. When Ling Cheng saw it, he ordered the housekeeper to help Ling Zhu down to rest. Xiaogu wanted to stop him, but was persuaded by the housekeeper. Xiao Gu held back what he had said before.

Helping Ling Zhu to the inner room to lie down, the butler explained a few words and left.After the butler left, Ling Zhu opened his eyes and sat up, thinking that Ling Cheng had drugged the wine, he snorted secretly, thanks to his own preparation, Ling Zhu unbuttoned his shirt and took out a skin bag, which contained everything It's wine.It seems that Ling Cheng is really wicked.He whispered to Xiao Gu next to him, "I'm going to see what my cousin is going to do? You watch here, if anyone comes, just block it, and I'll be back soon."

Since there were not many servants in Ling Cheng's mansion, Ling Zhu came to this closed courtyard very smoothly.Glancing at the courtyard wall, Ling Zhu quickly turned over.Following the path covered with weeds, Ling Zhu came to a room that looked like a prison. After listening carefully, he heard the sound of crying inside.Ling Zhu pushed the door and found that it was not locked. He untied the iron chain and Ling Zhu walked into the small room.

There was a slight smell of blood coming from the pavement in the room. Ling Zhu looked at a woman with disheveled hair lying on the bed next to the wall in the room. Beside him, he was wearing a light red dress, and there were red welts on his bare skin. Ling Zhu's eyes showed some pity. Could this be the traverser?
