Chapter 140: Left Pavilion Right Wei
Nangong Baiyu walked out of the room, looking lazy, she stretched her waist, and said casually: "Who is here? ”
The residence in Los Angeles was personally chosen by Zhang Huwei, and since the people who came could find a place, they must be very familiar with the whereabouts of Nangong Baiyu.
Afterwards, Zhang Huwei walked into the courtyard with two old men. The two of them, with white hair and cloth clothes, walked in a hurry, and walked directly to the inner courtyard.
As they passed by the backyard, Li Bai saw the two men through the crack in the door.
Suddenly, one of them stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of Li Bai.
"What's wrong?" asked another.
"It's just a clown, don't worry about him. Go see the county lord first, and I'll tell you when I get back!"
Just as the old man looked at Li Bai, he just closed the door and avoided the other party's gaze.
"Those two old men have steady steps, and the aura looms between their steps, they must be masters!"
Li Bai thought to himself and began to guess the meaning of the two.
In the inner courtyard, Nangong Baiyu was tinkering with the seven-yuan jade flute, and the sound of the flute was sparse and sparse, and it was not a tune.
"Zuo Ting, see the Jade Princess!"
"Right Wei, see the Jade Princess!"
The two old men saluted Nangong Baiyu one after another, looking respectful.
"The second elder Tingwei is the mainstay of Xikang, so there is no need to make such a big gift. On the contrary, Bai Yu didn't go out to greet him, don't be surprised by the second elder!"
Nangong Baiyu held up a pair of shelves that a princess should have, and behaved quite decently.
"Princess Jade, we received news from Escort Zhang that the princess was assassinated on the road, so we have come to escort the princess back to the palace safely. ”
Zuo Ting spoke in a loud voice, raised his head slightly, looked arrogant, glanced at Zhang Guard, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with him.
"Zuo Lao, his subordinates are not effective in guarding, and they almost put the princess in danger, they are indeed derelict in their duties, and when they escort the jade princess back to the palace, they are willing to be punished!"
Zhang Huwei took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists, and spoke sonorously and powerfully.
"Old man Zuo, you don't have to say a word!" You Wei immediately interjected, "He can inform you and me as soon as possible, there is no greed for merit, and the safety of the princess is put first, which is already good." ”
"Escort Zhang, that's what Old Man Zuo says, don't pay too much attention to it. You Wei said.
"Where, what Zuo Lao said is true, and the lowly duty is indeed ineffective. The two of you can come so quickly, I really admire you!"
Nangong Baiyu seemed to have long been accustomed to such a scene, she neither stepped forward to stop it, nor did she persuade peace, she kept silent accordingly, but showed her identity as her master.
Subsequently, Zhang Huwei told Nangong Baiyu about the process of being assassinated on the ship, guessed the identity of the master, and at the same time told Zuo Ting and You Wei the results of the interrogation of the people on the ship.
After Zuo Ting and Right Wei listened, they casually asked a few words, and then stopped delving into the details.
"Jade Princess, I heard from Zhang Huwei, the person who saved the princess is a cultivator who doesn't know his name and origin, but is there such a thing?"
Zuo Ting's attention was immediately focused on Li Bai, obviously, a person of unknown origin suddenly approached the princess, which would naturally arouse the suspicion of others.
Nangong Baiyu looked at Zuo Pavilion and asked, "Does Zuo Lao have any opinion on this matter?"
You Wei and Zuo Ting have been partners for many years, so they naturally understand what he thinks.
"Princess, what the old man Zuo means is that the appearance of that person is too coincidental. Perhaps, in the eyes of the princess, he sacrificed his life to save the princess's life, but the heart of defense is indispensable. You Wei said, and gave Zuo Pavilion another look.
Nangong Baiyu understood that what You Wei meant was that Li Bai might be in a league with his master, and gain the trust of the princess by failing in the assassination.
"What do you mean?" Nangong Baiyu asked knowingly.
"It's not that he is hostile to the princess's savior, and he doesn't have any other ideas. ”
You Wei is also a smart person, and he can see at a glance that Nangong Baiyu is not very happy, so he said vaguely.
"Jade Princess, there is no hostility between the two of us, we just want to meet that man, probe his details, and see what kind of old man he is. The princess naturally understands the truth that there is no doubt in employing people and not using suspicious people. If we want to believe him, we need to give him a chance to clear his name. Zuo Ting said.
Nangong Baiyu listened to the two of them sing and harmonize, and immediately felt funny. It seems that the more she shelters Li Bai, the worse it will be for him, so it is better to let the two old men of Zuo Ting and Right Wei personally touch his details, which must not be a bad thing.
"Okay! What the second elder Tingwei said, even my father has to think about it, how can I have any objections. Just do as the second elder said, find a chance to try his skills, and see what sect he is learning from and what exercises he is cultivating. ”
Hearing the princess say this, Zuo Ting and Right Wei were naturally very grateful, and in their opinion, the trust of King Xikang and the princess was often more important than those substantial rewards.
Then, Nangong Baiyu seemed to think of something, and continued: "By the way, that prince was seriously injured in order to save me before. No matter what the outcome is, we have to let him recuperate for a few days first, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings in the end. ”
Zhang Huwei listened on the side, and also smiled bitterly, he knew that Zuo Ting and Right Wei were both cultivators of the Martial Dao Venerable, and they were only one step away from being able to become a priesthood warrior.
"Second Elder, I think that Lin Gongzi's strength is definitely not as good as that of Second Elder. If the second elder is sure that he is not a traitor, he hopes that his subordinates will show mercy. ”
When Zhang Huwei said this, including Xiaoguo, they all nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Li Bai was practicing the "Pen and Ink Na Spiritual Technique" alone, trying to impact the injured muscles and veins of his body to see if he could make a breakthrough. However, the more eager he was, the faster his spiritual power dissipated, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"Knock knock!"
Then, there was a knock on the door.
Li Bai opened the door and saw that Nangong Baiyu, dressed beautifully, with a beautiful and moving face, smiled at Li Bai.
"Don't you invite me in?" Nangong Baiyu asked softly.
"Of course, the white jade girl, please!"
After entering the house, Nangong Baiyu took out a jade ring and shook it in front of Li Bai.
"What is this?"
She smiled, a trace of spiritual power entered into the jade ring, and took out a few things: a small box, an animal skin, and a book.
Li Bai had seen the storage device, and he could see at a glance that the jade ring was a good quality storage device, as for the three things in front of him, there was no doubt that it was Li Bai's own.
Those three familiar things were the small box containing Dean Mondo's suicide note and Talivis's silk scarf, the Yellow River Sword Immortal's "Yellow River Sword Technique", and the mysterious book snatched from Ramangisa.
Nangong Baiyu handed it to Li Bai, smiled slightly, and said, "I will return the things to you, don't chase after me in the future." By the way, your junior sister's jade flute, lend me a few more days to play, and I will naturally pay you back when the time comes. ”
Li Bai nodded, accepted the thing, and didn't say a word.
Then, he poured a glass of water for Nangong Baiyu.
"Today, I saw two old men in the courtyard, I don't know who they are?"
Li Bai asked casually, which immediately attracted the attention of Nangong Baiyu.
"I'm here today to discuss this matter with you! Those two old men are Martial Dao Venerable Zuo Ting and Right Wei respectively. The two of them are the personal disciples of Yongkang Martial God, and they were good friends with my father in the early years, and now they are the two guests invited by the Xikang Palace. Nangong Baiyu said.
"What does that have to do with me?" asked Lieber.
Subsequently, Nangong Baiyu told Li Bai about Zuo Ting and Right Wei one by one.
"So, the princess means, that the two of them are going to test my strength?" asked Li Bai.
"Yes, this is the best way to ensure that you can return to the palace with me smoothly. Otherwise, after entering the palace, things will be even more troublesome. Nangong Baiyu said, looking a little embarrassed.
"The white jade girl gave me back the things, just because she was afraid that I would be angry, so she came to please me first? I won't be so unreasonable, right?" said Li Bai.
"I ......"
Hearing Li Bai say this, Nangong Baiyu was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
