Chapter 142: Departure (1)
When Shen Yue left, he left all the guards he brought, except for Yuan Xing, who took a personal attendant, and the rest of the guards were still living in the same place, waiting for Sheng Changning's will.
Bai Lu was given the order and ordered them one by one in an orderly manner, and also told the guards that Sheng Changning was going to Jiangnan.
After stepping out, Sheng Changning was not much surprised to see that none of them landed here.
"Princess, Lixia has already gone to the City Lord's Mansion, and Lady Mo is packing her bags with people, as well as the guards left behind by Lord Shen......" Bai Lu said, looking at Sheng Changning, who came out on the side, and asked her what she meant.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Sheng Changning swept over the people in front of him with a glance, these guards were all brought over by Shen Yue, naturally they didn't lose anyone, and they could see that their skills were very extraordinary in Fufeng City.
Sheng Changning pondered slightly, her eyes were fixed on the person who was leading the guards, and her red lips opened lightly: "Lord Shen left you behind, and his intention is already obvious. This time to go to Jiangnan, the road is far away, there will definitely not be much peace, the next time, I have to ask you. β
Zuo Nan noticed Sheng Changning's gaze, and listened to her polite words with a low profile, but the expression on his face did not move at all.
He bowed slightly, raised his hand and saluted, and his voice was loud and sonorous: "It's what subordinates should do." β
As soon as his words fell, the guards behind him also clenched their fists in unison.
Sheng Changning curled her lips and smiled, and she said again: "I heard that you are all famous people of the Shen Mansion, and you really live up to your reputation. β
Zuo Nan hung his head slightly, and his posture remained unchanged, looking solemn and calm.
Sheng Changning retracted his gaze, took a step, and returned to the house.
Bai Lu followed behind her, helped her into the small couch, thinking about what Princess Fang Cai lowered her posture and said, Bai Lu paused and said, "Princess, in fact, you don't need to worry too much about the safety of the road to Jiangnan. The left guard is Lord Shen's confidant, and before the lord left, he specially told the left guard to take care of your safety......"
"So, you can rest assured. Let alone...... Over the past few days, the slave maid has also talked a few words with the left guard, and he has never looked down on the slave and maid because of his low status, which shows that he is indeed upright. β
Listening to Bai Lu's hesitant words, Sheng Changning's expression was very shallow, she leaned back, but her back was still straight.
"What this palace is worried about is not the problem of Zuo Nan's different character." Sheng Changning lowered her long eyelashes, picked up the cup on the side and took a shallow sip, she said, "The people who follow Shen Yue's side, this palace is naturally trustworthy, but it's just ......"
It's just that Zuo Nan is loyal to Shen Yue, what is the connection with her? She has been intelligent since she was a child, and she grew up seeing all the insidious and cunning methods in the palace.
Therefore, as early as when Fufeng City was in Fufeng City, when everyone entered the city after hardships, but in the middle of the night for no reason, a person died tragically, and the guards were angry in front of Shen Yue, she had already noticed it.
Although Fu Sheng's death was not done by her, in the end, it was because she had to pick Wuyan flowers and was implicated by her, so her bones were mutilated, and she died not only blindly, but also undignified.
At that time, the guards were so angry, and Zuo Yan, who was the leader, was not one of them, so that a person who was likely to have a grudge against her in his heart came to protect her thoughtfulness, Sheng Changning was afraid.
If they didn't use Shen Yue's name to knock one or two, if they wanted to rectify her on the way...... She's just a powerless woman now, how can she compete with them?
Thousands of thoughts turned in her heart, but these thoughts and thoughts, she couldn't speak, now, although it seemed that she was surrounded by a circle of people who loved her.
But, she didn't believe anyone.
"Princess? But what? β
Bai Lu's soft voice came, and it immediately dispersed Sheng Changning's thoughts, but her expression was not exposed at all, she put down the tea cup in her hand, and the gentle bump between the porcelain cup and the table sounded.
Her words also spread: "But we can't be unguarded, now we are all women, and we should be careful and cautious outside." β
Hearing this, Bai Lu didn't notice her abnormality, she thought about it, and also felt that Sheng Changning's words were very reasonable, so she hurriedly responded.
"Yes! The princess is right, right now, Lord Shen is reliable but not by our side, so naturally we should be careful, and the slave and maid will also observe the left guard in secret, and never let him have the slightest offense......"
Seeing that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, especially when she mentioned Shen Yue's house again, Sheng Changning's face became hot unconsciously, and she hurriedly picked up the teacup again to cover her face.
"Good look, say...... What do you do with that? β
Who thinks that's reliable? Who has to rely on him? If she didn't rely on him, she wouldn't be able to.
Bai Lu was choked for a moment, and her heart was full of suspicion, but inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a trace of blush flying on her princess's pale face, and the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper.
She just agreed with the princess's words, how could the princess react so much that her cheeks turned red with annoyance......
"Princessβ"
There was a sound of rustling footsteps outside, and soon, the door was opened from the outside, and Lixia poked his head into it.
With a slight smile on her face, as soon as she came in, she first saluted Sheng Changning, and she said, "Princess, when City Lord Zhang heard that you were leaving, he said that he would prepare a banquet for you tonight, and said that he would invite famous seniors in the city to practice for you." β
"That's right!" Lixia didn't forget what Sheng Changning had told her, and took out a stack of paper from her sleeve, and she respectfully handed it to Sheng Changning.
At the same time, she explained: "This is a thin gift prepared by the city lord Zhang, the horse you want, the slave maid just mentioned it, and the city lord Zhang hurriedly sent someone to find it." Now, all the things written on the paper have been brought back by the city lord Zhang and the slaves. β
Sheng Changning stared slightly, and looked at the snow-white note paper in his hand, only to see that the ink on the paper had not yet dried, and it could be seen that it was hurriedly brought back by Lixia.
The handwriting on this piece of paper could not be more correct, but after reading the contents clearly, it will surprise people.
Bai Lu looked at Lixia's happy appearance, and caught a glimpse of his princess's expression changing slightly, and she was also curious in her heart, and poked her head to look at the note.
After watching it, Bai Lu couldn't help but feel a trance in his heart, quite surprised.
While observing Sheng Changning's complexion, she pondered the words and said, "Princess...... This, this, are these gifts a little more valuable? β
