Fairy, I really am a villain!

Snapped!

Kong De took out a folding fan from his arms, suddenly opened it, and then blew it towards his face!

There were sounds of breaking through the air, and five powerful forces chased each other like meteors.

"do what?!"

With a loud shout, Fang Xiwen reacted very quickly and immediately overturned the table.

However, the force made several large holes and still attacked him, but he dodged it by turning his head. His eyes turned cold and he said, "You thief, how dare you commit a crime in the capital of God!"

choke!

He drew his sword from its sheath, and charged forward, reaching Kong De in one step.

The latter was unable to react in time and stretched out his hand to block, but his folding fan was smashed by the sword, and then he was kicked in the abdomen!

With a muffled sound, Kong De flew backwards, smashing the vase placed beside him, and his body slid down weakly.

At this moment, the pianist stood up unconsciously behind the screen, his eyes full of disbelief.

So strong!

This reaction, this swordsmanship... the scholar had the cultivation of four orifices, and it was a sudden attack, so ordinary people would not be able to react at all. The Third Young Master was not only able to dodge in the first time, but also to make the most effective counterattack -

Something is wrong!

Just as the musician sat back in his seat as if waking from a dream, chaos had broken out outside. Torches were flashing outside the window, accompanied by noisy sounds.

Seeing this, the Third Young Master had a bit of annoyance on his face, but he didn't chase after him. He just sheathed his sword, cursed him as a bastard, and left the room.

Just as he stepped out of the door, the people from Xinyuezhai arrived. Seeing that he looked unhappy, the servants said cautiously: "Third Master, what happened..." "Get out!"

He was so angry that no one dared to stop him. When he reached the door, Fang Xiwen seemed to have finally lost his temper and turned around and cursed: "Tell Yang Tianxiu to hold the dogs' ropes!"

Everyone was shocked, except Kong De, who struggled to get up and seemed to be thinking about something, and then a strong light appeared in his eyes.

~~

The incident during the New Moon Fast soon subsided.

Firstly, no one was killed, and Conde only received some scratches;

Secondly, after all, it was a private place, and everyone was of one mind. After receiving the money, they naturally did their job conscientiously and quickly dealt with everything. They only said to the outside world that the weather was dry and the servants had knocked over the candlesticks with their clumsy hands, which caused some trouble.

The next day, in the quiet room of Yang Mansion.

"Did he really say that?" Walking around the room, Yang Jing couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, as soon as he entered the room, he sent a message to his subordinates, saying 'You shouldn't have come', and then asked his subordinates to hurt him. Everything was arranged by the Third Young Master."

Kong De, who had saved his life, knelt on the ground.

As if chewing over these words, Yang Jing stopped pacing and asked, "What do you think of him?"

"He is extremely smart. The Third Young Master is the one who can really compete with the Little Prime Minister," Kong De said without hesitation, "He not only knows our identities, but also knows that we are under suspicion. This time he is helping us clear the suspicion."

"Go on."

"That zither player is Xiao Taifu's man. In her eyes, I am your man, but in the conversation with the Third Young Master, not only did I not say any useful information, I also suddenly attacked him, which turned the nature of this meeting into a 'trap'."

As he spoke, Kong De said with emotion: "In order to make the attack more realistic, the Third Young Master also revealed his own strength to win the trust of the little Tai Fu's spy. That's how sincere he is."

Hearing this, Yang Jing picked up the tattered fan, looked at the scars on it, and said, "This sword energy should not be underestimated. The Third Young Master may have seven orifices, or even higher cultivation.

Although there were rumors about this matter in the Six Gates, he came out and admitted it himself."

"Yes. My Lord, the Third Young Master helped us."

After walking around the quiet room for a few times, Yang Jing sat down at the desk and said, "This man can be trusted. If he can survive the wedding banquet, then it will be our turn to show our sincerity."

"Yes!"

"Bring me some paper and pen. I need to write a letter."

Chapter 364 These treacherous beasts pretend to be loyal!

"Did they really fight as soon as they met?"

"Exactly."

"Fang Xingyun even mistook Kong De for one of ours?" Yang Tianxiu shook his head and laughed, turning the jade ring on his hand with interest, and said, "This is quite interesting."

Shuanghua, who was wearing a light blue dress, stood beside him with a long sword in her arms. After reporting what needed to be said, she fell silent.

Instead, Yang Tianxiu pondered for a while and took the initiative to ask: "What do you think?"

"It doesn't seem fake. This is the first time Yang Jing sent someone to contact him."

"Go down, and keep an eye on him for me from now on."

"Yes."

Without any greeting, Shuanghua left with the sword in her arms.

Continuing to sit in his seat, Yang Tianxiu did not think about this matter for too long.

For him, if Yang Jing was betting against the king of Rui for the sake of the entire Yang family and was afraid that something unexpected would happen in the fight for the throne, then he could spare his brother.

But if Yang Jing was pretending to be like this, but was actually thinking of joining forces with outsiders to overthrow him——

"Don't seek death, brother."

~~

Time flies, and soon the day of Princess Zhaoyang's engagement banquet arrived.

The vast majority of aristocratic families, many officials in the court and the public, wealthy businessmen under the name of Yang Chamber of Commerce, etc., all received invitations without exception, and the venue was scheduled to be a small building outside the city.

"After holding it in for so long, Yang Tianxiu should finally do something big."

As he said this, he placed the bright red invitation on the table and Fang Xiwen leaned his head back.

"Don't move," Xiaodie frowned, clenched her fists and punched him a few times, angrily saying, "Sir, are you still going to do it? Or just leave it like this, and go to the banquet with your hair disheveled?"

"No, no, I was just thinking about something."

Fang Xiwen was sitting in front of the dressing table in the room, his face reflected in the bronze mirror, while the obedient little maid was taking care of him carefully behind him.

Hearing this, Xiaodie sighed, "Since you are so entangled, you should just not go. Anyway, everyone knows that the Yang family has no good intentions."

"I have to go," Fang Xiwen let her little hands rub her face, glanced to the side, and said, "Second sister, have you got the rough list of people attending the banquet?"

"Basically." Li Muyou walked out of the darkness and handed over a few sheets of paper. "The first one is the general list, and the second one is a list of people listed together by camp."

"It helped a lot."

Fang Xiwen took it and started flipping through it. He knew many of the people, but there was one thing that was strange.

...No one from the Yun family attended the banquet.

A large part of these lists were sent to him through the Yun family’s channels by Yun Yichuan: they would not be unaware of this.

Yun Yichuan had reached a deal with him a long time ago and would not be ambiguous in dealing with the Yang Party.

'strangeness. ’

After looking through the list several times, Xiaodie finished putting makeup on him.

The maid clapped her hands, walked around to the front, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Not bad, she doesn't overshadow the young master, nor does she steal the limelight from the groom, I am very satisfied.

but--"

She frowned and stretched out her finger to touch his mouth. "The weather is too cold. Your lips are all broken and the color has faded...ah!"

As if she just realized it, Xiaodie blushed and ran away in a hurry: "I, I'll go get some rouge!"

After the sound of footsteps, the door opened and closed.

Seeing this, Li Muyou walked around to him and nodded, "It is true that the color has faded a bit."

"One or two, do I, a grown man, need this stuff?" Fang Xiwen shook his head. He let Xiaodie run away just now because he considered that she was shy. He didn't need it.

However, Li Muyou pushed him back into the chair and said, "Second sister has it here."

"Then why didn't you take it out just now?"

"Here," Li Muyou pointed at his lips, his eyebrows slightly curved, "I'll put it on you now."

"and many more--"

Soon, Xiaodie came back with something and was about to apply it on him when she paused and said, "Sir, have you applied it yourself?"

"Uh-huh."

"It's too uneven, it looks like it was chewed by a dog. You are amazing to paint it like this..."

~~

The streets are decorated with lights and the atmosphere is festive everywhere.

There was the crisp sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone slabs, and a group of luxurious carriages galloped past, leaving the city gate and heading towards the suburbs.

This small building for banqueting guests is the private property of the royal family. It covers a large area. Several platforms have been built around it, and there is a lake not far away.

Fang Xiwen came on horseback.

He casually handed the horse to the reception servant, and before he even entered the cottage, the melodious sounds of stringed instruments came into his ears.

Upon hearing the voice, someone immediately stopped, closed his eyes and listened for a while, then said excitedly: "This is Master Qingzhu Yu from Qingyuefang! The song "Pingshaqu" is truly unique in the world. Just being able to listen to this short section is worth the trip!"

"It must be that the young assistant knew that you liked him, so he specially spent a lot of money to invite him."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't flatter me to death."

Guests came in one after another amidst the conversation and laughter.

Those who were invited here either had a certain status in the court, such as Cui Jing, the Minister of the Imperial Household, Luo Wenlong, the head of the Silver Seal Constable, and Li Wuji;

Either they can represent the power behind the scenes, such as Fang Xiwen, and the siblings Song Canxing and Song Qin;

Some of them came to give gifts to Yang Tianxiu, some were businessmen under the Yang Chamber of Commerce, etc.

As for Fang Tianyu, Yang Mingyue, or Prince Rui Gao Chengyou, Prince Li Gao Chengtian and others, some have too high status, and some need to be avoided, so they will not attend such gatherings among juniors.

Because most of the guests were young, Yang Tianxiu also put in a lot of effort. He not only invited the top musicians from Qingyuefang, but also the imperial chefs from the palace, and even the most beautiful courtesan from the best brothel in Shendu to perform.
