Chapter Twelve Old Friends
The guards were shocked by Princess Mingyue's anger, and someone immediately turned around to touch the signal arrow on their bodies.
Nalan Wan's eyes sank. She originally thought that Princess Mingyue was just a little arrogant, but she never thought that she would kill them now. Are these powerful people so careless? Since that's the case, she doesn't have to be polite. Just as she was about to take action, she heard a light scolding coming from the door of the store-
"Stop!" The voice is warm, but irresistible.
In the hall, the steep and steep form that was about to break out was slightly relieved by this deep shout, and everyone looked at the sound.
Ye Shurui, who was hiding in the inner hall to watch the show, was stunned when he heard this familiar voice. His starry-like eyes were immediately covered with deepness, as if they were becoming more and more interesting!
"Young Master Xiao, you are here just in time. Hurry up and help me persuade some princesses and this young master. The shop cannot withstand the tossing--" When the shopkeeper Bai saw that the person was overjoyed and hurriedly met him.
The circle of powerful people in the capital is actually so big, with thousands of officials in the court, but there are only a few who are actually in power. The ordinary princes, Princess Mingyue, really didn't take it seriously, but when she saw the person coming, her face changed slightly, "Who am I talking about? It turns out that it is Master Xiao! If you don't read your sage books carefully, why come to Zhenbao Pavilion to join in the fun?"
In just two short sentences, it can be heard that the two of them seem to be very consistent.
Master Xiao stepped into the hall, but no one ignored it, and turned a deaf ear to Princess Mingyue's words. The apricot-colored clothes made him stand tall and radiated a warm bookish aura all over his body, diluting some of his sharp contours with his clear facial features, but his eyes were sharply scanning the audience. The eyes finally fell on the warrior in the black clothes, and he asked faintly: "Gu Yang?"
"I've seen the eldest son." The warrior in the black clothes glanced at Nalan Wan. Seeing that she was standing there without moving, he had to step forward and bow.
"When did you come back? Then this one..." A trace of unsure suspicion flashed across his eyes, and his straight eyes fell on Nalan Wan at the right time, but it did not make people feel rude.
Nalan Wan bowed slightly to say hello, but still had no intention of saying anything.
"Uh, this is... Master Cousin, I am here to protect my master with my order." Gu Yang, a warrior in the black clothes, said with a hard forehead.
After hearing this, Nalan Wan pulled the corners of her mouth slightly. When she talked about lies, she really didn't even write a draft. How could she explain to Master Xiao when she turned around?
When Master Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but look at Nalan a few more times. The corners of his mouth moved slightly. He didn't say anything. He paused for a moment and nodded and smiled: "Your master has a good vision. No wonder you, the best master, sent you to this cousin, to protect him. He is indeed a powerless person. Since you are back, what about your master? I haven't seen him for some days." He emphasized the words "No powerless person" very clearly.
Gu Yang didn't expect that Master Xiao would continue to ask questions, swallowed a mouthful of bitterness, lie and then lie. However, this time hesitated at all, and only said that the master had something to do and had never come back in the Jiangnan area.
Master Xiao stopped asking more questions when he heard this, but Nalan Wan looked at the sky speechlessly.
She dared to bet that Mr. Xiao must have seen through her daughter, but I wonder if he had recognized her as the sick daughter of the General's Mansion? After all, she appeared at the emperor's birthday party not long ago. It would be no problem to deceive Princess Mingyue, a arrogant and willful girl like Princess Mingyue. It is hard to say whether she could deceive Xiao Gu, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who is known for his wisdom.
That's right, the person who came was Xiao Gu, the eldest son of the prime minister of the dynasty, Xiao Haiyun. It is rumored that this eldest son of Xiao not only painted a masterpiece, but also wrote articles throughout the ages. Even the priests today also highly praised him. He is considered a famous figure in the Minglan Emperor.
"Since this is the case, it is not easy to meet each other. Why not drink two glasses of wine together? What do you think of the young master?" Xiao Gu talked to Nalan Wan on his own, without giving a look to Princess Mingyue, who was standing aside angrily.
Nalan Wan thought for a moment and nodded in response. As soon as he raised his steps, he heard Princess Mingyue yelling angrily: "Do you three do not exist as this princess? Master Xiao Gu, don't take this princess seriously because of the Prime Minister!"
"I wonder what the princess said?" Xiao Gu was still humble and polite, without any impatience, as if the person who left Princess Mingyue aside was not him.
"Leave these two people behind, you will go your own way." Princess Mingyue seemed to insist on dealing with these two people.
"I'm afraid I can't do it." Xiao Gu looked up and bowed and said, "This young master's cousin is a close friend of mine. Please forgive me for not being able to stand by. Besides, princess, do you know who is the real master of this treasure pavilion?"
After hearing this, Princess Mingyue outside responded, Ye Shurui, who was leaning against the entrance of the passage inside, blinked. He was really searching for something without any effort!
He has been secretly investigating the forces behind the Zhenbao Pavilion, but there is no news. Today, he heard Xiao Gu's words, and it seems that he has a lot to do with the boss behind the scenes. And the young man in Qing who doesn't take the royal princess seriously is indeed not simple. If he hadn't relied on his cousin, how could he dare to be so powerful? Just looking at the guard, you will know that the power behind him should not be underestimated.
Outside, Princess Mingyue was stunned. She was arrogant and not stupid. When she heard the relationship between Xiao Gu and the young man in green, she knew that she would not be able to take advantage of it today. After listening to the question in the following sentence, she felt that it was not good, but she was tough on her face: "I care who he is. If I offend this princess, I will not have any good results!"
Xiao Gu smiled slightly, as if he had seen through her external force and was kindly persuaded: "Princess, the real master of Zhenbao Pavilion is the young master's cousin. Let alone a fan, what can he do? I think you'd better let all your people disperse."
Princess Mingyue suddenly looked up, her eyes reminiscent of an incredible look. This ordinary young man in Qing Dynasty would have such a powerful backstage? But looking at his guards, it was not impossible. She was unable to make up her mind for a moment, and her face changed.
Ye Shurui inside was even more shocked. He had been checking for so many days and had never been able to find out. He walked around randomly today and actually taught him the clues of the master behind the Zhenbao Pavilion? Or is it because his cousins are so close to each other?
Xiao Gu and Nalan Wancai were too lazy to care about Princess Mingyue's expression, looked at each other and walked out of the gate with politeness.
Just as Nalan Wan turned around and walked outside the door, Ye Shurui, who was hiding in the entrance of the passage, had already seen her appearance clearly, and he was so scared that he suddenly stared at him. Can this world be more mysterious? Isn’t this the sick girl in the General’s Mansion? When did he become the cousin of the boss here, and he was talking nonsense! It was nonsense!
But she actually agreed to Xiao Gu’s wine appointment! Is this girl stupid in the General’s Mansion? Anyone dares to go with her to drink! It’s just that a lady from the boudoir came out to relax and go shopping, but she still blatantly disguised herself as a man to cause trouble. Now she has to drink and chat with a strange man. Is this the general’s mansion worthy of education?
