Chapter 84 Exquisite Hosta

Xiao Jingyang left the dovecote, took a shortcut to Prince Jing's Mansion, and then climbed over the wall directly to Su's Residence.

As for why you didn’t go directly to Su Zhai?

In name, Xiao Jingyang and Mei Changsu are in a falling out situation, how can they go on in an open and honest manner?

"Yo? Here you go?"

When Mei Changsu saw Xiao Jingyang coming over the wall, he smiled and filled the tea set on the side with tea.

"You knew I was coming?"

Xiao Jingyang didn't expect this, so he came to sit in front of him and said with some doubts.

"The Palace Attendant has already sent people to prepare for the horoscope tomorrow." Mei Changsu smiled, picked up the tea, and took a sip gently.

"And it's said that you met that girl today. You liked her a lot, right?"

"Huh?" Xiao Jingyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Brother Shu, how many informants do you have in this Jinling City?"

"You even know these things."

Mei Changsu just smiled lightly and said: "It's not much, but it's enough."

There is indeed something in this pretense.

Mei Changsu put down the teacup in his hand and then said:

"I sent someone to check on this girl."

"She is indeed a gentle, virtuous, kind and dignified girl, and looking at you now, you should be quite satisfied with her."

"Then you should live a good life from now on and don't go out and cause trouble every day."

Xiao Jingyang: "..."

"When did I go out and cause trouble? They insist on challenging me, what can I do?"

Ever since Jamel Xiao's reputation spread a few months ago, there have been some so-called masters coming to challenge him from time to time.

However, Xiao Jingyang basically solved it with just a few moves, without any difficulty at all.

"I know you are good at martial arts, but you should be more careful." Mei Changsu advised.

Xiao Jingyang: "Okay, I understand."

"Oh, by the way! I came here today just to say something."

"In these two days, Langya Pigeon House should send someone to spread some news and look for a hosta."

"The brothers from the Jiangzuo League will help me look for it then."

"Hosta?" Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows slightly, then said with a smile:

"Even before the horoscopes are matched, you are already preparing to give the girl a betrothal token?"

"Get ready!" Xiao Jingyang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. After all, this was the first time he came into contact with this matter, and it was still a bit embarrassing.

"Haha!" Mei Changsu burst out laughing when he saw Xiao Jingyang's appearance.

"Okay! Leave this to me."

"When the news from Langya Pavilion comes, I will ask Zhen Ping to go there in person and ensure that it is delivered to you properly."

"Thank you so much, Brother Shu." Xiao Jingyang saluted with his hands and fists, and said with a smile.

Mei Changsu smiled, then turned around to study and choose the tea on the side.

Xiao Jingyang looked at Mei Changsu's movements, thought about it again and again, and finally said slowly:

"Now that the prince has absolutely no room for improvement, Brother Yan should have begun to come into Prince Yu's sight, so what's next?"

"The next thing is not what you should think about." The smile on Mei Changsu's face slowly faded, and the stern look reappeared.

"Let us consider these things, and then you can prepare for your engagement."

"I've already planned the rest, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xiao Jingyang did not ask any more questions, he thought silently to himself.

He vaguely remembered that the real reason for King Yu's downfall was Wei Zheng's arrest. (Because of this incident, King Yu completely lost his qualifications to inherit the throne, and then he rebelled and lost his life.)

King Yu and Xia Jiang, the head of the Xuanjing Division, wanted to use the identity of Wei Zheng Chiyan as a soldier to make King Jing commit a prison robbery to save people, thereby triggering the emperor's rebellion and leaving King Jing to die without a burial place.

What a pity!

With Mei Changsu here, nothing they thought would happen, and they stole the chicken but lost the rice, which made the emperor think that King Yu and Xia Jiang were working together to frame the prince of the dynasty and participate in the party struggle.

Xia Jiang is the head of the Xuanjing Division. His participation in party struggles is something that the emperor will never allow, and it completely violates his bottom line.

This has almost the same effect as Gao Zhan's participation in party struggles.

[The Wei Zheng matter can only be left to his own devices, and he cannot be allowed to change. After all, this is a decisive matter. Without this incident, there might not have been the Jiu'an Mountain Incident.]

[In that case, the identity of the crown prince behind Prince Jing will not be so secure.]

Xiao Jingyang decided not to interfere with Wei Zheng. At worst, he would help him recuperate after he comes out later.

"Okay! Got it."

Three days later, in early May

Su Zhai

"Give!"

Mei Changsu placed a small box carved from mahogany on the table.

Xiao Jingyang opened it and saw a green hosta inside.

The whole is smooth and delicate, and the hairpin is covered with gold foil. With the overall green color, it is elegant and indifferent without losing the nobility.

Xiao Jingyang's eyes lit up when he saw the hairpin. He took the hairpin out of the wooden box and looked at it carefully.

"This jade is turquoise jade. Not only is it crisp and translucent in color, it is also very hard. You can even throw it out like a dart." Mei Changsu said interestingly:

"Zhen Ping went to Danzhou in person and worked hard to deliver this. The quality is of the highest quality. Does this meet your requirements?"

Xiao Jingyang hesitated for a moment, and then the internal force in his body started to work. With a flick of his hand, the hosta flew out like a flying knife and was deeply inserted into the pillar on the side.

Mei Changsu's expression did not change at all, and he was still smiling. He was still relieved about the quality of this hosta.

After all, it was Zhen Ping who handled it, so nothing could go wrong.

Xiao Jingyang stood up, pulled out the jade hairpin from the pillar, rubbed the hairpin carefully, and found that it was not damaged at all. It was indeed an unexpectedly excellent hidden weapon.

"Not bad, not bad. It does look good. It's also lethal enough when used."

"It can also be used as a small dagger."

"Look carefully, what's the difference between the hairpin and the ordinary jade hairpin?" Mei Changsu said mysteriously.

"different?"

Xiao Jingyang's fingers gently traced every part of the hairpin, and he suddenly stopped when he was in the middle.

Xiao Jingyang frowned slightly, stretched out his other hand to grab both ends of the hairpin, and twisted it hard.

The hosta was twisted open directly, and inside the hosta was really a small blade with a cold light.

If you have a slightly smaller hand and grasp the small part from the head of the hosta, it will really be a dagger.

"This is the most delicate thing about this hairpin. There are two ways to open it." Mei Changsu introduced:

"The first thing is to use brute force, but I guess the one in your family is not that strong."

"The second thing is to press the small bump on the hairpin head, and then twist it open."

Xiao Jingyang looked in response and found that there was really a small bump in the middle of the golden pool.

If I hadn't said this, I might have thought it was a decoration.

"Not bad, not bad! This hairpin is really excellent." Xiao Jingyang said with a smile, he was really satisfied with this hairpin.
Chapter completed!
