Chapter 329: Ruthlessly Eaten

Jing Wan followed Li Hong Yuan out the door before finally recalling whether or not she needed to bring servant girls.

“Just let Hei Mei and Bai Shao follow along.” Li Hong Yuan directly picked the people.

These two’s martial art skills, Li Hong Yuan naturally won’t let them fall behind on. On the contrary, he even stepped up their training. At times unbeknownst to Jing Wan, it was kept up every day.

Originally, Hei Mei and Bai Shao still didn’t know who was the person that had let someone teach and train them in the beginning, but now, for the most part, already have an understanding inside. However, no one uncovered this, and they also never mentioned to Jing Wan. This, speaking from a certain perspective, was a matter between wangfei and wangye.

“Male disguise?” The servant girls should be the same as their master.

“No need, there won’t be any influence towards them. In reality, if according to the other side’s arrangements, then even if you openly walk in, it’s also not a problem.”

Jing Wan lightly rolled her eyes. Saying this now, is there a point? If from the start just didn’t plan on letting her wear men’s clothes, then wouldn’t have brought them out. Moreover, he clearly knew that kind of trivial matter, she definitely won’t refuse. This man really is, from the start, just ‘harboring bad intentions’, having her ruthlessly eaten.

Li Hong Yuan lightly smiled as he scraped the tip of Jing Wan’s nose, and then naturally landed a kiss.

The guards, including Yu Zhong Qing and Li Su Yan, seeing Jing Wan in a male disguise at first glance, their first reaction was just, ‘At Jin Qinwang’s side, when did such a young gentleman that he was this intimate with appear?’ But an instant later, just discovered that, that was Jin Wangfei, and hurriedly had their line of sight shifted away, not daring to look again. As for the reason behind Jin Wangfei’s current attire, no one would go look into.

Li Hong Yuan setting out, if not for Jing Wan requesting, for the most part, was just someone that won’t hide his tracks. Today, he even carried certain goals, so naturally further won’t hide.

The bodyguards at the side weren’t many, a total of just twenty some, even having a few female bodyguards. Were all the bodyguards just these? Naturally no.

Li Hong Yuan was very clear, Jiangnan was the the previous dynasty surviving members’s lair. As for the specific number of people, he actually didn’t know, but it certainly won’t be few. This bunch devoted themselves to making trouble for the people of the Li imperial clan. Assassination was something that couldn’t be more normal. This kind of situation like today’s, it’d be strange if they didn’t make a move. With Wan Wan at the side, and for the sake of guarding against the unexpected, he naturally will have everything arranged appropriately.

Arriving at Linchuan River, there was a two-story pleasure boat, appearing to be much bigger than ordinary pleasure boats. The curtains and drapes that hung all around the lower level have been completely dismantled. The place was richly ornamented, and the decorations inside were also exquisite, able to tell at a glance.

The upper level was just like a house, although the middle section didn’t have a roof, just like the walkways that link the two sides, comparatively, also more narrow, leaving a wider space outside. As for the ‘houses’ on the two sides, the left one was a little shorter, and the right one, in Jing Wan’s eyes, if not having three floors inside, it was just having fake floors made. The roof was also sculpted with curved eaves like wings, with colored glass as decoration. It can be seen, just on this pleasure boat itself, quite a bit of thought has been spent.

Of course, the true beautiful scenery wasn’t really this pleasure boat, but rather the people inside the pleasure boat.

Because of their arrival, a flow of beauties walked out in a line from inside the pleasure boat with Mei Yi in the lead. The twelve people behind her in two rows can be said to be of national grace and divine fragrance, each also distinguishing features, with many variety. Further behind them was a group of what appear to be servant girls that were a few years younger, but judging from that appearance, in another year or two, they will probably also become money trees both in name and in reality.

Everything else aside, just this scene was already a feast for the eyes. Having this many beauties gathered together, and moreover even the kind that was beautiful inside and out, even the beauty contests of her past life probably can’t achieve this level of standard either. After all, those people may be beautiful, but can all of them possess both skill in the four arts, as well as cultivation in literature and etiquette.

Jing Wan inwardly praised inside, sure enough, her decision to come was just brilliant.

Facing these beauties, even Eunuch Mu all couldn’t help but give a few extra glances. However, the most indifferent was probably just Li Hong Yuan, especially after seeing Jing Wan’s eyes seemingly light up. She has never even looked at him like this before. His gaze instantly just grew colder. If his eyes had destructive power, then these beauties will probably all end up disfigured.

Li Hong Yuan singlehandedly seized Jing Wan’s waist, directly walking towards the pleasure boat.

Mei Yi and them although were in a curtsy with their heads lowered, but from the corner of their eye, they were still able to see Li Hong Yuan’s movements, and naturally indicated for the people in the back to move aside at once, and not block the path.

Jing Wan retracted her attention, turning her head to glance at Li Hong Yuan, instantly understanding his current state, and couldn’t help but let out a ‘pfft’.

Li Hong Yuan casted her a side glance, “Very funny?” His complexion darkened even more.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jing Wan hurriedly reached out to stroke his back, quickly soothing, “No, definitely not.”

But Li Hong Yuan’s complexion simply didn’t improve, “Perhaps we should just return immediately. This husband sometimes even feels that one just shouldn’t have brought you out. This heart is growing increasingly wild the more you play. Today, it’s reserving a pleasure boat, tomorrow, is it just directly strolling the brothels? Jiangnan should also have southern wind houses[1], should this husband also take you there to expand your knowledge?”

Jing Wan genuinely didn’t know what to say. Whenever this man starts acting childish and petty, he was practically just like that three year old small child. At this time, it was best to not say anything at all and just stare at him, fixedly staring at him, having him viewed as the whole world, ignoring the scenery in front, ignoring the path under the feet, and afterwards………….

Even if Li Hong Yuan wasn’t looking at her, his expression still relaxed, reaching out to cover Jing Wan’s eyes, “Don’t look anymore.”

Jing Wan smiled like a flower.

Li Hong Yuan finally turned to look at her, “You’re just certain that I won’t do anything to you.”

“Alright, alright, such ‘fine time and beautiful scenery’, one must not let down.”

The voices between the two of them weren’t really restrained. Mei Yi and them just now didn’t dare to look directly at Li Hong Yuan, just making out from the clothing that standing at his side was a man. At first, seeing Jin Qinwang’s movement, they were even shocked that he actually liked the southern wind, just once this person opened their mouth, the female voice couldn’t be more obvious. Now, she further understood Jin Qinwang’s reason for appearing, and can be said to be very shocked. However, this kind of thing, it’s best to let it rot in the stomach. Regardless of whether or not others will know, all in all, it can’t come from her own mouth.

As such, it’s also no wonder the eunuch that came to reserve the pleasure boat previously would put forward those demands.
