DWGL _ Chapter - 05

Changes in the Palace. I went to see Your Sweetheart.

From the inn where everyone had stayed before to Wang Cheng, even if they were on the road day and night, it would take a full half a month. The horses driving are all good horses, and with a whip, they are almost driving through the clouds and fog when they run. Duan Yao insisted on taking a carriage at first, but after being hit in the head three or four times, he was finally unwilling to leave the heater and came out to ride a horse with the rest of the people. The wind on the mountain road whizzed, and he only felt that even his ears were going to be frozen off, and his nose and face were flushed, so he ravaged Duan Bai Yue fiercely in his heart.

If Master borrows the corpse to resurrect his soul next time, he must let him take his brother away with him!

The cold spring of this year seems to have been exceptionally long, seeing that Liu Feihua is already red on both sides of the road, but the air is still cold. The hot breakfast stall was full of people, and after eating a bowl of porridge with the aroma of fish fillets, his hands and feet finally warmed up. Duan Yao wiped his mouth and paid the money, and then went all the way back to Jinxiu Square-the contact point of Xinan Mansion secretly located in Wang Cheng. It is a fabric house, and the name of the shopkeeper is Zou Man. His wife is Duan Bai Yue's childhood nanny, and she was sent to the city more than ten years ago.

"Uncle Zou." Duan Yao greeted, carrying a bag of dim sum, "Where's the rest of them?"

"They're all in the study." Zou Man gestured for him to keep his voice down, "Wang Ye doesn't look too happy, so Xiao Wang Ye should be careful."

Unhappy again? Duan Yao was baffled. He had been so focused on coming to Wang Cheng earlier, but now that he had finally arrived, he shouldn't be celebrating, even if he thought he was going to have dinner tonight.

"Did Xiao Wang Ye buy this for Wang Ye?" Zou Man asked again, "This is a nice treat, but you should eat it while it's still hot."

"Give it to Aunt Zou, I'd rather not touch the mold." Duan Yao decided to give him the snack packet so that it wouldn't be a disaster for the innocent again.

"Where are you going again?" Zou Man called from behind him.

"I'm going out for a stroll!" Duan Yao stepped on the top of a tree with one foot and tumbled out through the courtyard wall.

Zou Man looked at him with a headache. Wang Ye had told him that he was coming in secret this time, but how could Xiao Wang Ye still run around? What if someone saw it? It's at the feet of the emperor.

Although Wang Cheng is a big city, Duan Yao is not a lover of the hustle and bustle, so he walked around the street for a while and looked up and saw a pawn shop.

The pawnshop ...... is where Shada lives? Duan Yao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he slipped in through the back door.

A yard of hens.

Duan Yao: "......"

When they saw that someone had broken in, the hens thought they had come to feed them, so they flocked over in a flurry. Duan Yao was in agony. But then he heard someone walking this way.

"Look, it's the chickens that are hungry, isn't it?" The wooden door was opened and two men, one fat and one thin entered.

"It's not like the old days. We have guests in the house, so it's better to be careful." The thin one said, "Keep an eye on what's going on outside so that there's no more trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, so now that we've seen it all, it's a chicken coop, can we go back?" Another man yawned.

Duan Yao hid behind the stone mill and watched the two men leave before following quietly behind them.

This pawnshop was not large, so it didn't take long for Duan Yao to figure out the layout of the surroundings. There were only two guest houses, and one of them was full of people. Listening to the accent and the dress, it seemed that it was indeed from the Western region from the other side.

The people in the house were eating, and Duan Yao stared for a while, feeling a little puzzled. Although he didn't know much about the Kingdom of Anu, since he could unite the Kingdom of Chu to erect a barrier in the desert, Shada should have some ability and vigilance. But why didn't he cover his whereabouts at all, he was sitting in the middle of the hall so swaggering, and there was not even a guard around him.

After eating, Shada got up and walked around the yard twice, then went back to the bedroom to wash and rest. Before going to bed, he asked specifically what he would eat tomorrow morning. He seemed to only care about eating and sleeping.

Duan Yao: “......”

What kind of King Shada is this, why is it so stupid, it's not the same as the conspiracy that was said.

Business is still booming in the pawnshop in front. Duan Yao has grown up in Xinan since he was a child. He is good at disguising himself and is often dressed as a girl. Therefore, he is not afraid that someone will see it. He pinched a hairpin and stepped in with a lotus flower steps. During the conversation, he observed the surroundings by the way, and there was really nothing abnormal.

“This lady.” After leaving the pawnshop, someone followed.

Duan Yao stopped and glanced at him, and saw that he was a man in his twenties with a smooth face.

"Miss, are you in trouble?" The man was smiling, and the smell of powder was so strong that it tickled his nose as he approached.

Duan Yao glanced at him and walked forward on his own, saying in his heart that ‘you must not be interested in pulling me, or I will chop your hand.’

“Be careful, girl, this person is a turtle slave from Hongxianglou.” When passing by, an aunt reminded him in a low voice.

Duan Yao raised his eyebrows, from the brothel……

“Miss, miss, go slowly.” The man caught up again.

Duan Yao turned his head and bit his lower lip with tears in his eyes: “My master died violently a few days ago, and I am still rushing to raise money to bury him. Don't hold me anymore, this eldest brother.”

“Ouch...” The man was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, “I wonder how the lady plans to raise money?"

Duan Yao replied, "I plan to sell my brother."

Man: "......"

Huh?

"Do you want it?" Duan Yao asked.

The man asked, "Is your brother as good-looking as you are?"

Duan Yao's heart was in his mouth. He was going to tease him and then leave, but he didn't really want it.

I would like to sell it, but I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to buy it.

"Go, go, go." The aunt saw that the man was still pestering him and could not bear to see a nice girl being abducted to that kind of place, so she went ahead and pulled Duan Yao away. She led Duan Yao to an alleyway before letting him go, telling him to go home quickly. When she returned to the street, she saw a large group of people discussing the matter. When she asked, she found out that the tortoise slave had suddenly developed red bumps all over his face and had gone to the doctor crying like a pig's head.

The aunt was so shocked that she reached out to touch the cloth pocket at her waist and found a small gold bean.

Duan Yao clapped his hands together and went back to the brocade house, humming a little tune.

The palace was unusually quiet at the moment.

Three days ago, Chu Yuan left the palace for the south of the Yangtze River, leaving the six ministries at the head of the imperial court to deal with important matters in the court.

The courtiers were discussing this in private, not knowing why His Majesty had suddenly made this decision without any prior warning.

Even though Chu Yuan does not like to make a big show, the procession on the official road was still very big. After a few days of walking through Jinhe City, they could take a boat south from the canal to Qianye City.

Sitting in another carriage, Eunuch Si Xi wanted to go out and ask Shen Qian Fan why he was going to Jiangnan all of a sudden for no reason. Although the construction of the river embankment is also a major event, the imperial court is so restless, and the emperor is still not at ease when he is guarding Wang Cheng, how can he run outside?

After so many years of trying to figure out what the Emperor wants, this is the only time that he is confused.

But Chu Yuan was in a good mood. After spending so much time in the palace, it was good to get out and see the light of day.

In Wang Cheng's brocade house, Duan Bai Yue has locked himself in his study, and no one knows what he is thinking.

After so much hard work, there are many spies, killers, guards, eunuchs and palace maids sent from Xinan into the palace. The only problem is that the secret agents did not know that their master had come to Wang Cheng so soon, and the people they sent had just left two days earlier, so they probably missed it somewhere.

"Do you want to follow me to Jiangnan?" Duan Nian tried.

"Why do you think he is leaving at this time?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Duan Nian shook his head: "Subordinate don't know, but Wang Ye's trip has been kept secret, it should not be ......"

"What, do you want to say that Emperor Chu is trying to avoid this king?" Duan Bai Yue laughed out loud, "Can win the crown prince among many brothers, you think he is so small-hearted, will always be nagging about the little entanglement with this king, even to go out of the city to hide?"

Duan Nian was a bit speechless.

"Let's go to Jiangnan in a few days." Duan Bai Yue said, "It's the perfect time to see what kind of trouble is going to happen in this kingdom."

"Yes." Duan Nian nodded his head and accepted the order.

"How is Shada?" Duan Bai Yue asked again.

"Our men have been watching, but they don't seem to be making any movements." Duan Nian said, "He has no dealings with outsiders, just eats and sleeps, and doesn't seem to care about the assassination of his own brother." The rumor was that Shada and Guli were so close that they wore the same trousers, so this was clearly too much of an anomaly.

Duan Bai Yue frowned.

“Things are a bit weird this time, I'm afraid it will take some time." Duan Nian said, “Does Wang Ye really want to intervene?"

"Since I've come, I can't come for nothing." Duan Bai Yue raised the corners of his mouth, "There is always something to be gained before the money is enough."

There was a sound in the courtyard, and Boss Zou smiled and said, “Xiao Wang Ye is back. The kitchen is still warm, but do you want to eat it now?"

Duan Yao quickly waved his hand at him.

Boss Zou reacted and covered his mouth.

But obviously, it's a bit late.

“Yaoer!" Duan Bai Yue called into the house.

“The subordinates retire first." Duan Nian held his fists.

Duan Yao felt very depressed and stretched out a finger to poke the door. He had known that he would go around, or it would be good to come back in the middle of the night.

“Where did you go?" Duan Bai Yue sat in the middle of the room.

“Go out and play." Duan Yao replied honestly.

“What are you playing?" Duan Bai Yue obviously doesn't plan to be perfunctory.

Duan Yao bristled and said, "Off to meet your sweetheart." The one in the pawnshop, with hairy hands and face, ate a lot, and was handsome as hell!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the tea calf in Duan Bai Yue's hand fell to the ground.

Duan Yao was shocked, why did he react so badly?

"How dare you go into the palace behind my back?" Duan Bai Yue slammed his palm on the table.

Duan Yao was even more shocked: "Your sweetheart is in the palace?”
