"Who is coming? Do you know what kind of place this is, how can you trespass?" shouted the guard guarding the door, not allowing An Ran and the others to go further.

"Bold!" shouted the guard who protected An Ran, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by An Ran.

An Ran looked at the guards guarding the door, those phoenix eyes were extremely sharp, and the domineering aura exuded by his body made the guards guarding the door shrink, "Please inform the Duke of Shaoguo, just say that Duke Lin Wuxi wants to see him." ”

"Shaoguo has an order, no matter who comes these days, they will not be seen. The guards guarding the door replied, in fact, it was not that they were making things difficult, but that the young prince ordered yesterday that no matter who came to ask for a meeting, they would all be sent away.

Hearing this, An Ran didn't get angry, but just smiled calmly, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the guard, and said, "You give this to Shaoguo Gong, and he will see me." ”

The guard took the jade pendant, looked at it, and then looked at An Ran, she looked indifferent, and looked confident, he didn't want to continue to make things difficult, "You guys wait here first." ”

"There is labor. ”

Watching the guards go in to report, Qiu Xin stepped forward and asked An Ran quietly, "My lord, will this Shaoguo Gong really meet us?"

"We'll find out later. An Ran smiled faintly.

Soon, the guard just now walked out, with a completely different attitude, very respectful and polite, "My lord, my young prince has an invite." ”

An Ran bowed slightly, and then walked in, followed by Qiu Xin and two guards.

As the maidservant who led the way came to the main hall, as soon as she entered, she saw a man standing with his hands behind them, An Ran guessed that this should be Murong Gong.

When An Ran and the others walked in, the servant girl who led the way bowed and saluted, and Murong Gong said, "Grandpa Guo, the noble person has been brought." ”

"You go down first. ”

Then, Murong Gong slowly turned around, and as soon as An Ran saw him, he thought to himself, this Murong Gong looks a little similar to Nan Ling Ye, but Murong Gong has dark eyes.

Murong Gong is in his forties, with a tall and straight body and a beard, it is not difficult to see that he was also a beautiful man when he was young.

"You are Lin Wuxi?" Murong Gong looked at An Ran and asked, those dark eyes locked on her, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

An Ran bowed slightly, first bowed slightly, and made a courtesy to Murong Gong, "Yes, I am Lin Wuxi, and the young country's public security is good." ”

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Murong Gong picked up the jade pendant in his hand and asked An Ran.

This jade pendant is owned by his sister, that is, Nan Lingye's mother, and it is said to be the dowry given to her by Murong Gong back then.

"Shao Guogong, I wonder if Wuxi can talk to you alone?"

Murong Gong looked at An Ran, thought for a moment, and said to the people who were waiting on the side, "You all go down first." ”

"Qiu Xin, you also go down and wait first. ”

After everyone retreated, only An Ran and Murong Gong were left. An Rancai said: "This jade pendant was given by His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Murong Gong frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this true?"

"There is no falsehood. As he spoke, An Ran took out the secret letter written by Nan Lingye and handed it to Murong Gong, "This is a secret letter from Your Majesty's own hands, and I want Wuxi to pass it on to the Duke of Shaoguo." ”

Murong Gong took the secret letter, looked at An Ran suspiciously, or opened the secret letter, looked at it with a serious expression, and his face became more and more ugly.

Suddenly, he threw the secret letter into the stove and burned out.

"Go back and tell him that I won't enter the palace. Murong Gong's tone was resolute, and there was no room for maneuver.

When An Ran heard his words, he just smiled, still with an indifferent look, and said, "Why is the young prince in such a hurry to make a conclusion, can you listen to Wuxi's words?"

"If you want to be a lobbyist, then I tell you, you don't have to, I tell you again, I will never enter the palace. ”

"Shaoguo Gong is so resolute not to enter the palace and does not obey the decree, is it really as the outside world said, he already has the intention of rebellion?" An Ran asked coldly.

"Even if there is, so what?" Murong Gong said unruly.

An Ran sneered, looked at him with disdain, and said coldly: "Stupid." ”

"What did you say?" Murong Gong's sharp eyes shot at An Ran, his appearance was a little fierce, and he was very dissatisfied with what An Ran said.

An Ran turned around coldly, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly as he walked: "Isn't it? Do you think that you are a mere young prince and really capable of confronting the imperial court? To put it mildly, I am afraid that when the time comes, even if you are a relative of the emperor, you will die without a body." ”

"Presumptuous, you are just a duke, you dare to talk to me like this, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Murong Gong was a little annoyed and angry.

An Ran turned to face him with a fearless look, and responded: "I naturally just know that it is easy for you to kill me, not to mention, now that I am in the Shaoguo Mansion, you can kill me, and then casually report a charge of my disobedience to the imperial court." It's just that there is one sentence, I really want to ask Shaoguo Gong, why do you want to oppose the imperial court?"

"This is all owed to me by their Nanling family!" Speaking of this, Murong Gong clenched his fists, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"It's been so long since you endured it back then, why haven't you thought about it today, and you still want to use your ant power to confront the imperial court, have you ever thought about those who worked for you?" An Ran asked him.

When Murong Gong heard this, his eyes widened instantly, "What did you say, how did you know about the events of the past?"

That incident, whether it was for him, for the Nanling family, or even for the world, was a secret, why did Lin Wuxi know?

"Shaoguo Gong don't be angry, I have no other malice, but I am very puzzled, I think I can't look at the wrong person, Shaoguo Gong gives me the feeling that I am definitely not the kind of person who will harm the people, but why would someone impeach you, take away people's land, and forcibly occupy the people's daughter?" An Ran looked at Murong Gong, and could see how difficult he was to let go of what happened back then, but judging from his forbearance for so many years, how could he not do such a thing to hurt the people, is there another hidden meaning in it?

"Even if I do this, so what? Nan Lingye can't cure me of my crimes. Murong Gong said with a smug face.

An Ran frowned slightly and looked at him, "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if you really do this, then you must be punished by the law." ”

Murong Gong disdained An Ran's words, he turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down, his black eyes raised slightly to look at An Ran, hooked his thin lips, and said, "Maybe you don't know that I still have a secret decree in my hand, right?"
