Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Upon hearing Lu Xiao's words, Fan Xian immediately became anxious: "Hey, don't talk nonsense. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my love for my Chicken Leg Girl. I was just invited here for a drink by a friend today. I have no other intentions."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Hongcheng toward him and said, "Old Li, you have to testify for me."

Li Hongcheng looked at Lu Xiao who suddenly appeared and asked curiously.

"Fan Xian, who is this gentleman?"

Fan Xian immediately introduced, "This is also my friend. His name is Lu Xiao, and he's the acting director of the First Division of the Inspection Institute."

When he heard the words "agent sponsor," Li Hongcheng's pupils subconsciously widened several times.

In Kyoto, the status of a director of the Inspection Bureau is no less than that of officials of the third rank or above in the imperial court.

Moreover, Lu Xiao is so young, and his future achievements are bound to be extraordinary.

But then again, Fan Xian is also quite remarkable.

He had just arrived in the capital and had already become friends with the acting director of the Inspection Institute. No wonder the Second Prince insisted on him winning over Fan Xian.

It is said to be an agent, but anyone who is interested knows that it is only a matter of time before it is converted to a legitimate company.

"So it's Director Lu. I've heard that the head of the Inspection Institute changed some time ago. Seeing him today, I'm sure he's truly extraordinary. I'm..."

Li Hongcheng was about to introduce himself.

But Lu Xiao suddenly interrupted him coldly.

"No need for introductions. I know Prince Lu of Jing. However, you shouldn't get too close to me. As a member of the royal family, getting too close to me won't do you any good."

As soon as these words came out, Li Hongcheng felt a chill on his back.

I couldn't help but sweat on my forehead.

I was careless.

Then he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master Lu is right. Thank you for your advice."

The Inspection Office is directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Qing and has the power to review all matters within and outside the capital. The Imperial Guards are under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Office, and the government officials are afraid of them like a tiger. The royal family is forbidden from contacting many matters of the Inspection Office, and even the Crown Prince has no right to inquire about the affairs of the Inspection Office.

Not to mention he is the prince of Jing.

Every member of the royal family knows that the Inspection Office is Emperor Qing's Achilles' heel.

Anyone who dares to touch this reverse scale in private should be prepared to endure the wrath of Emperor Qing.

Therefore, Lu Xiao's seemingly inhumane words actually did a great favor to Prince Jing.

This was to prevent him from being unable to react immediately and attempting to win over Lu Xiao.

Some things, once done, can be regretted.

At this moment, Fan Xian was still innocent and asked in confusion.

"Old Li, why do you seem more afraid of him? You are the prince?"

Li Hongcheng hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to explain it.

Fortunately, at this moment, a flower boat suddenly emerged from the pleasure boat in the lake.

"Miss Si Lili is here!"

Zuixianju was bustling with activity once again.

Although Lu Xiao had been drinking at Zuixianju every day recently, when he stayed overnight at night, he would use his Qinggong to fly directly to Si Lili's boat.

Others don't know.

Therefore, the impression of Si Lili among the people of Zuixianju still remains in the previous period.

Li Hongcheng immediately changed the subject and spoke to Fan Xian.

"A pleasure boat breaks through the water, the night lights shake the city. This is Miss Si Lili's arrival. Her boat has moved once, and tonight it's the second time, and it's because of you. It seems your poem has moved her."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's expression was extremely interesting.

Shyness mixed with a little nervousness, nervousness mixed with a little excitement.

But after his excitement subsided, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiao and quickly spoke seriously.

"Old Li, I told you I'm just here to drink. There's no need for you to create such a scene."

Li Hongcheng smiled and said, "A talented man and a beautiful woman is a beautiful thing. There's nothing wrong with that. From what you just said, it seems like you already have a lover, but I don't think that should prevent you from doing something here today."

Honestly, Li Hongcheng really didn't think it was a big deal for a man to visit a brothel.

At this time, Lu Xiao stepped forward and said to Fan Xian, "Why are you so nervous? They might not be here to look for you. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself later?"

Li Hongcheng couldn't help but interrupt, "Impossible! He must be here to see Fan Xian. His poem 'Climbing the High Mountain' will surely become a famous poem through the ages. If even this poem can't move Miss Si Lili, then I can't think of anything else that can."

"How about we make a bet?" Lu Xiao glanced at Li Hongcheng.

Although Li Hongcheng is a member of the royal family, he is still a young man after all, so naturally he has a temper.

He immediately said: "Let's bet, what do you want to bet on?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "How about we bet on your Zuixianju? If I lose, I can promise you one thing. Anything within my ability. If you lose, Zuixianju will become mine."

Chapter 128 Si Lili's Thoughts

A condition and Zuixianju.

The two bets don't seem quite equal.

But the premise is to ignore Lu Xiao's current identity.

Smart people tend to overthink things.

Li Hongcheng is no exception.

At this moment, he was secretly calculating Lu Xiao's purpose in proposing this bet.

Although some royal family members are not allowed to touch the Inspection Bureau privately, there are hidden rules.

But this is based on the premise that the Inspection Bureau is only loyal to Emperor Qing.

Li Hongcheng knew exactly how fat the Inspection Bureau was.

What prince wouldn't be jealous?

If there really was a chance to win over a member of the Inspection Institute to lead the effort, even if it involved immense risks, it would seem worth it.

After all, high risk often means high returns.

At this moment, Li Hongcheng was clearly dazzled by the potential gains.

In his opinion, he would never lose this bet.

Because today's scene was originally "two, three, seven" and he had specially arranged it for Fan Xian.

As the boss behind all the brothels in the capital, arranging a certain courtesan to accompany someone was a simple matter.

Therefore, Li Hongcheng has absolute confidence that there will be no accidents in this matter.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, nodded immediately, and said to Lu Xiao.

"Okay, I promise you."

After hearing his words, Fan Xian beside him opened his mouth wide.

After a long pause, he looked around Zuixianju and said to Li Hongcheng, "Old Li, this is actually your property?"

Li Hongcheng smiled and said, "I am the Crown Prince of Jing after all. It's normal for me to have a few properties of my own."

Fan Xian thought about it and it seemed so.

At this time, Si Lili's flower boat had already docked at the shore.

She was seen walking slowly towards Lu Xiao and the other two, attracting the attention of countless people along the way.

Today she was wearing a black and gold long dress, looking particularly charming and attractive.

Finally, she stopped in front of the three people and bowed slightly to Li Hongcheng.

"Si Lili greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Hongcheng nodded in satisfaction, then introduced her, "Miss Lili is truly elegant and refined. This is Master Fan, the one who wrote that poem."

Then Si Lili bowed to Fan Xian again.

"Mr. Fan's poems are very good, I like them very much."

When he said this, Li Hongcheng looked at Lu Xiao with a smug look.

But Lu Xiao was not panicked at all, he just waited quietly.

Si Lili hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"However, there seems to be no destiny between you and me. You should take back this poem."

After that, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve.

The content on the paper is exactly the poem "Climbing the High Mountain" by the great poet Du Fu.

At this moment, Li Hongcheng was dumbfounded.

He had clearly sent someone to give instructions privately, so why did such an unexpected incident occur?

Does Si Lili no longer want to stay in Kyoto?

Fortunately, the answer will be revealed soon.

Si Lili had already set her sights on Lu Xiao.

"Mr. Lu, would you like to go boating with me again?"

"what!"

Everyone opened their mouths wide.

At this moment, a familiar customer immediately recognized Lu Xiao.

"It's him. He's the only person Miss Lili has ever invited on board."

"Yes, it's him. I heard that he also wrote a poem to move Miss Lili."

"What a pity! Miss Lili is the only one who has read that poem. We will never have the chance to see it."

"That's right. It seems that poem is probably even better than Master Fan's 'Climbing the High Mountain'. Otherwise, Miss Lili wouldn't have made such a choice."

"Wow, Master Fan's 'Climbing the Heights' is already extraordinary. If there's an even better poem than this, it's incredible."

From the words of the guests around him, Li Hongcheng finally realized where he had lost.

Lu Xiao turned his head and smiled gently at Li Hongcheng, saying, "Your Highness, please don't forget our bet."

After saying this, he took Si Lili's hand and walked straight towards the flower boat.

Only the two who had long been stunned were left.

Inside Si Lili's houseboat, Lu Xiao raised his hand and pinched her chin.

"I remember I told you not to get too close to other men from now on. Did you ignore my words?"

Si Lili glared at him charmingly.

"You're so petty. What can I do? I'm just a weak woman. How could I refuse an invitation from the dignified Prince Jing? You always pull up your pants and leave without even considering my embarrassment."

Lu Xiao raised his hand and patted her gently, then said, "Hmph, don't change the subject. Let me ask you, if I hadn't come today, would you really have invited Fan Xian aboard?"

Si Lili smiled sweetly, then looked Lu Xiao up and down with her bright eyes. A sly glint appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? Would I be jealous?" Lu Xiao would naturally not admit it.

But Si Lili smiled even more happily.

"I thought you were just using me as a tool, but I didn't expect you to be jealous of me. You, such a bad guy, still have some conscience."

As she spoke, she twisted her body back and forth, and Lu Xiao became furious.

After a lot of tossing and turning, Lu Xiao hugged the beauty and lay on the bed.

One cigarette was missing, which was a little disappointing.

He raised his hand and played with the beautiful woman's hair while speaking softly.

"Today, Li Hongcheng lost Zuixianju to me. How about I give it to you? Then you won't have to worry about anyone disturbing you anymore."
