Chapter 39: Surprise
Not only Lu Gong was shocked, but even Liu Nianru was very surprised.
Da'an's gentle and gentle Duan Wang Ye actually has a cunning side like a fox.
"Lord Wang!" Lu Gong lost his voice, his former demeanor was gone, and he was replaced by horror.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to say it, this king will naturally know in the future." After Duan Bailan finished speaking, she hugged Liu Nianru's waist, and her figure flashed, and she disappeared into the darkness.
He took Liu Nianru back to the hotel and instructed: "I also protect Lu Gong's life, you can go back to Kyoto tomorrow."
Seeing that his tone was a little detached, Liu Nianru felt a little sour and sour in her heart.
"Hmm." She replied sullenly, and was about to go back to the room, but Duan Bailan grabbed her again.
"When you go back, stay safe." Duan Bailan glanced at him reluctantly, and there were indescribable emotions fluctuating in her eyes.
"Got it, by the way, you have time, help me hire a blacksmith from Jiangnan to come back, I see that the craftsmanship here is different from that in Kyoto. I'm not bothering you, I'm not bothering you, I'm also for your army. Liu Nianru was a little afraid to see his eyes, and returned to the room like a run.
From the first time I saw him in Gangnam, it was as if something had been smashed between them. She wants to be calm. She is by no means such an emotional person.
It's just that the next day, when she went to the front desk to settle the cost of staying at the hotel, the shopkeeper told her that the money had already been settled.
Who got it, naturally she doesn't have to say, she can guess it.
"That son said that you came to Jiangnan because of him, so it is only natural for him to help you pay, so you don't have to feel a burden in your heart." This is what the shopkeeper said to her.
In this way, she also came to Jiangnan because of Qingling, and this matter should have been asked by Qingling to Duan Bailan.
What do you say is gradually drifting away, and since then the two have been clear, but more than ten years of love are here, and he naturally will not help.
It's just that when she just stepped out of the door, she saw Xiao Yan's annoying guy again.
"Miss Nianru, are you going to pack up and go back to Kyoto? Why don't you take me a way, and the journey is good to have someone to accompany you. Xiao Yan said.
Liu Nianru was reluctant to go with him, so she pretended not to see it, but Xiao Yan blocked her way unrelentingly.
"I don't want to go back with you." Liu Nianru directly refused.
"But I want to be with you." Xiao Yan looked at Liu Nianru, shook the fan in his hand and said, "I see that Duan Wang Ye is in a hurry, and I shouldn't have time to go back with you."
The royal family is ruthless, especially when standing at the highest point of power. He was so seldom moved by his feelings and was full of calculations that he thought that others were like him.
Duan Bailan has also been in the whirlpool of power since he was a child, how could he be that kind of simple person.
"So what's the matter with you? Get out of the way! When Liu Nianru heard Duan Bailan's name, she thought that she was afraid that Duan Bailan had already exposed her whereabouts when she appeared to relieve herself yesterday.
It's just that at the banquet, she helped Duan Bailan block a shot and prevented him from getting engaged to Qingling, but she didn't expect everyone to connect her with Duan Bailan.
Just when they couldn't figure it out, a richly dressed carriage stopped in front of them, and the coachman was neatly dressed, simple and elegant, and at first glance it was not an ordinary coachman.
"Dare to ask if you are Miss Liu?" The coachman lowered his head and asked with a measured attitude.
"Yes." Liu Nianru glanced at Xiao Yan, but saw that the coachman didn't seem to see Xiao Yan.
"That's right, there is a Duan Gongzi who asked me to take you to Fengling Ferry, where there will be a boat to take you back." Liu Nianru didn't move, but Xiao Yan looked at her with a teasing expression.
"Duan Gongzi also said that you do things for him, and arranging your itinerary is what he should do." Seeing that Liu Nianru did not react, the coachman hurriedly explained.
Liu Nianru suddenly laughed: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful."
She came here on a business trip, and Duan Bailan helped to reimburse the travel expenses and arrange all this, which is also justified.
Xiao Yan also planned to get into the carriage with her, but was stopped by the coachman.
"How can she go, and I can't go?" Xiao Yan put away the fan, looked the driver up and down, and put away his smile.
The coachman saw that Xiao Yan was dressed extraordinarily, and his identity must be extraordinary, so he laughed and said: "That Duan Gongzi specially explained that he can only pick up Miss Liu, and the other sons will not pick up any other sons."
Liu Nianru got into the carriage, and when she heard the coachman's words, she was in a good mood, Duan Bailan was quite meticulous, and she expected that Xiao Yan would come to pester her again.
"I'm sorry for you to drive faster." Liu Nianru opened the curtain and said to the coachman.
The coachman answered, left Xiao Yan, who was so angry that his face turned blue, and immediately drove to the scenic ferry.
Do you not pick up and drop off at all? Xiao Yan suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart, why could Duan Bailan pick her up so swaggeringly.
Duan Wangye has money, and the boats prepared for her are all private boats, not only have separate bedrooms, but also have special cooks. Fresh vegetables are available on board. This treatment is much better than when she came.
And what surprised her the most was that she only talked to Duan Bailan yesterday about asking him to help find a few blacksmiths, and he found a few famous blacksmiths in Jiangnan today and went back by boat with her.
How can you not take advantage of such a great time? So when she was bored on the ship, she often asked the blacksmith some questions to improve the drawings she had drawn before.
After wandering for more than ten days, when she went to the dock, she saw Changwu and Qingling already waiting for her at the dock.
At this time, it was already late autumn, and they were all wrapped thickly, Changwu wore a green jacket, and carried a basket in his hand, and he didn't know what it contained.
Qingling is more energetic, standing quietly on the shore, but there is a bit of princess elegance.
"County Lord, you can count yourself back." As soon as Chang Wu saw her disembark, she immediately came to greet her, and shook out a cloak from the basket and put it on her.
The climate in Jiangnan is mild, and it is not as cold as Kyoto. Liu Nianru has always had good bones, so she didn't care about these details.
"Well, why did you come all the way to pick me up." Liu Nianru stretched out her hands and casually asked Changwu to put on her cloak.
"It was the prince who sent a message back and said that you may return to Kyoto in a few days, so I and the county lord of Qingling have been waiting here for the past few days." Changwu patiently tied her strap and replied.
Liu Nianru thought in her heart that Changwu was so virtuous, and she didn't know which man would be cheaper in the future. If she is a man, she must marry Changwu back.
"Qingling, Lu Gong is already fine, you can go back with confidence." Liu Nianru said to Qing Ling.
Unlike Changwu's loyalty to her, Qingling has nothing else to ask for her.
