4. Guests
When Han Yi and Xiao Yun returned to Hanfu, it was already past noon, but the two had already eaten outside.
However, today's Han Mansion is a little different, there are more strange people at the door, holding swords. Han Yi looked at it, these people all have some martial arts, the posture of holding the sword, the posture of standing, are all uniform, and they should have undergone strict training.
People from the official family.
Han Yi immediately came to a conclusion.
"Second son, you're back. After entering the door, the housekeeper of the Han Mansion was already standing at the door, looking around, and when he saw Han Yi and Xiao Yun coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, a little panicked.
"Steward Liu, what's wrong?" This housekeeper Han Yi also knew that his full name was Liu Yunsheng, he was in his fifties, and he had been working in the Han family for more than 30 years. Han Yi had dealt with him and knew that he was careful and steady. If it weren't for something big happening, Steward Liu wouldn't have been so flustered, and thinking of the official guards at the door, Han Yi couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart.
"We've got a guest at home. Steward Liu quickly explained, and took Han Yi to walk quickly towards the living room of the Han Mansion.
"What distinguished guest?"
"King Zhaoyang. ”
"Where's Xiao Yu?"
"The third prince went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet. ”
On the way, Han Yi also learned about the general situation. It is normal for Han Yu to go out early and return late, and today is probably the same as usual, running around for the Han family, and Han Yi is not surprised.
This Zhaoyang King Han Yi has never heard of it, he has no intention of taking care of things, and with "amnesia", it is normal not to know. However, Steward Liu was also clear about his situation, and without waiting for him to ask, Steward Liu gave him an explanation.
"Speaking of this King Zhaoyang, that's really amazing. Steward Liu's expression was excited, his eyebrows fluttered, as if he was saying something worthy of his pride, Han Yi felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't interrupt him, pricked up his ears and listened seriously.
"There are two most favored princes of the human race today, one is the King of Xiaoyao, who is from the same line as the current human emperor, and the other is the king of Zhaoyang, named Wuyang, who is one of the few people with a foreign surname to be crowned king. ”
"It is rumored that he was crowned king in his early thirties, and that the reigning emperor was still the previous generation, and the current emperor has not yet been made a prince. ”
As for the reason why King Zhaoyang was crowned king, it has never been announced, but there are many rumors among the people, some think that he is flattering and opportunistic, some say that he is the illegitimate son of the previous emperor, and some say that his sister is the concubine of the previous emperor...... But these are just speculations, not credible. Steward Liu shook his head and expressed his position, whether others believe it or not, he doesn't believe it anyway.
Han Yi naturally didn't believe it, if he was really crowned king casually, now there are probably more princes of the human race than ordinary people. What's more, if this King Zhaoyang really only has a relationship with the previous generation, or the previous generation of emperors, how can he be favored until now. According to Han Yi, this King Zhaoyang should have some means, as for what means, Han Yi does not know.
"It's just that I don't know why King Zhaoyang came to Hanfu today, the second prince must be careful, don't offend him. After introducing Han Yi, Steward Liu reminded Han Yi worriedly, Han Yi nodded, he naturally knew that he could not afford to offend such a dignitary.
When he was about to arrive in the living room, Han Yi had already digested what Steward Liu said. This King Zhaoyang should not be very old now, more than forty, or it is possible that he is not yet forty. Reaching such a height in officialdom at such an age really surprised Han Yi. According to Han Yi's intuition, this King of Zhaoyang is not easy to deal with, and if he can, he will not want to have anything to do with such a person for the rest of his life. But now, there is no other way.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.
There were three people standing together in the living room, discussing something in a whisper, and from time to time they stretched out their fingers and pointed. Han Yi took a look, but saw that the two of them were dressed ordinarily, one was burly, and at first glance he was a practitioner, and the other was a little thin, but the momentum on his body was not inferior to the former. The last person was gorgeously dressed, with some beard on the side of his mouth, and his demeanor was quite graceful, so he knew that this person was the king of Zhaoyang, and the other two should be personal guards to protect his safety.
"Han Yi, the grass people, I didn't know that the prince was here, so I came to ask for sin. Han Yi walked in and bowed to King Zhaoyang.
"Oh, Xiaoyi. At the sound of the voice, the well-dressed man turned around, answered cordially, and then waved at the other two, motioning for them to go out. The two of them were still a little hesitant, but when they saw King Zhaoyang's glare, the coercion of the superior was instantly revealed, and the two of them left slowly, but they didn't go far, just guarded outside the living room.
Seeing this, Han Yi even had the idea that he couldn't have anything to do with this prince. In the coercion exuded by King Zhaoyang just now, he clearly felt a refinement in it. has been a killer all his life, and he has never seen any kind of person, so he never doubts his judgment.
"Xiaoyi doesn't need to be restrained. King Zhaoyang stretched out his hand to help him up, "This king is not here for official business this time, so he is not an official person." ”
"Thank you. Before King Zhaoyang's hand touched him, he consciously took a step back, and thanked him for getting up. Even if you decide not to have anything to do with him, it's better to have less contact, Han Yi thought in his heart.
......Seeing Han Yi's movements, King Zhaoyang was slightly stunned, and his outstretched hand stopped in the air, slightly embarrassed.
"Heh, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I'm still rusty in the end. King Zhaoyang withdrew his hand, shook his head and said, he didn't care about his embarrassment just now, as if what happened just now didn't happen, "It's that I didn't think it through." ”
Han Yi didn't expect King Zhaoyang to be so humble, and he was a little surprised. He is not good at communicating with people, and he used to say things like "kill or not kill", simple and neat, how can he be as troublesome as he is now, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I'm here this time mainly to come and see you and Xiao Yu. But fortunately, King Zhaoyang immediately changed the topic, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown so big, I remember the last time I saw you, you were still a teenage hairy child." ”
"If the prince wants to see him, it should be me and Xiao Yu going to the prince's mansion, where is the trouble for the prince to run in person, the prince has a heart. Han Yi replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. My martial family and your Han family are friends ...... world", King Zhaoyang and Han Yi chatted for a long time, and they also talked a lot. talked about his father Han Meng, talked about the friendship between the martial arts family and the Han family, and Han Yi and Han Yu, and more talked about the recent situation of his brother Han Cheng and the Han family.
Later, Han Yu came back, so there were three people in the living room. Maybe King Zhaoyang really felt sorry for the Han family from the bottom of his heart, and kept blaming himself for failing to take care of Han Cheng and taking care of himself and Xiao Yu in the future.
In the end, it was getting late, and although he was a little reluctant, Han Yi still made an invitation to let King Zhaoyang stay in the mansion for a few more days.
Too often, I can't help myself......
