Chapter 186: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 3
"Prince Su!!"
Seeing that he was just staring at him without saying anything, Li Junze had a bad feeling in his heart.
Meeting Li Junze's eyes, Su Ziyu suddenly came back to his senses, "What are you looking at me for? It was Sixth Brother who praised Pei Qingcheng to the heavens and earth, and insisted on dragging me over here."
He acted helpless as if he was being dragged here by force, and threw the blame back to Li Yunyi who was watching the show.
Want to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight? Humph, no way!
Seeing that Li Junze's gaze returned to Li Yunyi, Su Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief for a short time. It would be better to let these two scheming people fight each other!
At this point in time, it is still in the early stages of minor conflicts, but the original owner has already had initial contact with the Sixth Prince, and is being led by the other party to become enemies with Li Junze.
In the original plot, the original owner was invited to the Youlan Tower by the Sixth Prince Li Yunyi. In fact, she had no intention of joining in the fun to redeem Pei Qingcheng at first. However, she was fooled and instigated by Li Yunyi, and ended up in a fit of anger.
In order to compete with Li Junze, he spent a large sum of money to redeem Pei Qingcheng, but the final result was like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither a human being nor a human being.
This action of his not only offended Li Junze badly, but also made Pei Qingcheng hate him and Li Junze from then on. Later, he tried hard to establish a relationship with the Sixth Prince, and used this as an opportunity to leave the original owner and return to Li Junze as an undercover agent.
Later, when going to war, he deliberately betrayed Li Junze, causing him to be almost seriously injured and die. Since then, Li Junze no longer trusted anyone other than himself.
As for the original owner, because of his lavish spending, the emperor had some complaints about the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but because his family doted on him and were reluctant to punish him severely, they did put him in solitary confinement for half a month.
In short, it harms others and does not benefit yourself, and there is no benefit at all.
Listening to the verbal battle between the two old foxes, Su Ziyu, under the pretext of running away to pee, took his servant Lu Zhu and pawned his personal jade pendant to the madam, asking her to go to the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis to get the money.
While the two princes upstairs were still not able to react, he quickly took Pei Qingcheng to the carriage and left decisively.
He doesn't have time to waste with those two!
The system was a little puzzled, [Host, you knew that taking the person away would have terrible consequences, so why did you redeem him anyway? ]
Su Ziyu was very confident and righteous, "I am such a kind person, how can I let Pei Qingcheng, such a scourge, come to the side of the hero Li Junze? Of course I have to teach him a lesson and then send him back."
The system was a little speechless after hearing this, and said sarcastically: [I didn't realize you were so considerate. ]
The carriage moved forward slowly. Su Ziyu and Pei Qingcheng sat side by side in the carriage, but no one spoke. The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
"Prince, shall we go back home directly?" Lu Zhu suddenly asked, pulling aside the curtain.
Su Ziyu was about to say he was going back home, but then he remembered that the original owner was put in confinement by his parents right after returning home, so the words he said became, "Go to the palace."
Lu Zhu looked at Pei Qingcheng worriedly, lowered the curtain without saying a word, and silently controlled the carriage towards the palace.
In the carriage, Pei Qingcheng was wearing thin clothes. He sat in the corner with a defensive look in his eyes, but his back was always straight, showing a fiery character that would rather break than bend.
Although he had never met Su Ziyu, he had heard of his mischievous deeds. He was simply the most naughty playboy in the capital. He was not good at either civil or military strategy, but was proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.
I never expected that one day he would fall into the hands of such a person. It's really ridiculous and sad.
Pei Qingcheng lowered his eyes in self-mockery, and suddenly remembered the anonymous note he received the day before, which said that Li Junze would not try his best to save him. He absolutely did not believe it before today, but now the facts forced him to believe it.
Su Ziyu saw his expression changing again and again, and guessed that this man probably hated him and Li Junze from then on. In order to improve his favor, he casually took out a cloak and handed it to him.
"Here, you look so pale, put this on first! Although I am a dandy, I would never do anything to mistreat others."
Pei Qingcheng raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that the eyes of this playboy were very clear, not at all like those people in Youlan Tower who were full of lustful and greedy looks. He suppressed his suspicion and slowly reached out his hand to take the cloak, "Thank you, my lord."
Su Ziyu raised an eyebrow, and seeing that he was not as defensive as before, he pretended to complain and explained a few words, "You don't have to look at me like a wolf. If it weren't for going against that guy Li Junze, I would never have planned to redeem you. It's one thousand taels of gold. My parents will probably scold me if they know."
The young man's face was full of depression, but Pei Qingcheng only heard the three words "Li Junze". So his cousin did not give up on him, and the note was to sow discord?
Thinking about the rumors that he had heard in the past that his cousin and Su Ziyu did not get along, Pei Qingcheng's feeling of loss and resentment faded a little.
When I think of the fact that Su Ziyu's maternal grandfather's family was the imperial merchant appointed by the court, they were involved in every industry of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their money houses were spread all over the Dali Dynasty.
With such financial resources, not to mention his cousin, his family could not compete with his. Looking across the entire capital, the only one who could be richer than his family was the old emperor.
"Is there anyone else in your family?" Su Zi wanted to get closer, so he asked casually.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer?" Pei Qingcheng, who had just relaxed, suddenly opened his eyes wide again because of this question.
What’s going on? Why is this person suddenly angry?
The system immediately came out to explain, [The Pei family is the queen's maternal family. Five years ago, the queen Pei, Li Junze's mother, died. Not long after, the Pei family was imprisoned for witchcraft. Except for the direct descendant Pei Qingcheng and his sister Pei Xijun, who were kept as slaves in a brothel to save their lives, all the others were beheaded in public.]
Ah, I didn't expect this.
Su Ziyu blinked and poured him a cup of tea. "Don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually. Maybe one day when I'm in a good mood, I can even let you reunite with your family!"
What Su Ziyu didn't say was that it was true that he wanted him to reunite with his sister, and it was also true that he wanted to use his sister as a hostage to control Pei Qingcheng.
Pei Qingcheng didn't know what he was thinking, but the Pei family was already a thing of the past. If Su Ziyu could really rescue his sister, his sacrifice would not matter.
Pei Qingcheng took the teacup and said softly, "There is only one sister left at home. Her name is Pei Xijun and she is currently at Rouge House."
"okay, I get it."
Hearing that it was another place of brothels, Su Zi wanted to keep it in mind and planned to ask Lu Zhu to redeem the person later. Anyway, he had already redeemed one person, and he was not afraid of the itch if he had too many lice, so he could just punish him all at once.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the carriage.
"Uu——!"
The carriage, which was originally moving steadily, suddenly shook violently, and the horses neighed. Pei Qingcheng lost his seat and almost hit the side of the carriage.
Fortunately, Su Ziyu was quick to pull him up, which saved him from getting hurt. This time Pei Qingcheng did not resist too much, "Thank you, my lord, for rescuing me."
"It doesn't matter."
When Su Ziyu saw that he was sitting firmly, he immediately let go and asked outside, "Luzhu, what's going on outside?"
Lu Zhu quickly opened the curtain and said, "Please forgive me, my lord. Someone outside owed money and refused to pay it back. The debt collectors blocked the road and our carriage was almost hit by other carriages that came to watch the fun."
Su Ziyu wanted to lift the curtain and take a look. Sure enough, there were a lot of people outside. He made a quick decision and said, "Let's go another way."
