The king of Qingning County watched Yue Yunze take the invitation, took a sip of the teacup, and said: "This queen will hold a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow, and together with all the squires in Qingning County, the newly appointed Qingning guard will be washed and picked up. ”

Du Xiaomeng, who was sitting upright on the side, looked uninterested in their conversation, lowered his head and stared intently at the dace ball in the bowl that had been cut in half.

Yue Yunze's gaze swept over her body and landed on the invitation in her hand. As he opened the invitation, he said, "Oh? Finally, a new keeper will take office. For such an important matter, even if the king of the county is not invited, the grass people have to be cheeky to go to the palace to get clean. By the way, dare to ask the king of the county, do you know the name of the new guard? ”

The King of Qingning County frowned and said, "I don't know, this king only knows that he was personally appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the new guard general of Qingning County." This time, when the new guard took office, the court did not send a fast horse to send the appointment documents to the county king's mansion as usual, but asked the new guard to come over with the appointment documents in person and take office directly. ”

Speaking of this, the king of Qingning County slapped the table a little angrily, and then said: "It's okay if you don't send the appointment documents to this king first, but a few days ago, the new guard general actually came to take office with a team of soldiers and horses!" The imperial court had obviously agreed to the king's request to reduce the garrison of Qingning County before, but now it asked the new guard to bring more soldiers and horses, what is the purpose? ”

Du Xiaomeng, who was looking at the dace balls, was startled by the action of the king of Qingning County slapping the table. She came back to her senses and glanced at the King of Qingning County, who was flushed with anger, and then looked at Yue Yunze.

I saw Yue Yunze looking at the tea leaves in the teacup in front of him, and said lightly: "What is the purpose, didn't the county king go to the military camp to find the new guard general to understand?" ”

"Humph!" The king of Qingning County looked indignant, "He has been in Qingning County for a few days, but he has been hiding in the military camp on the grounds that he is busy with military affairs, and has never shown up, refusing to see guests." Not only him, but even the previous temporary guard general also found an excuse to avoid this king. This king sent two greetings to the barracks in a row, and he agreed to attend the day after tomorrow! ”

Yue Yunze played with the teacup thoughtfully, "Since the new guard general promised to go to the palace for a banquet the day after tomorrow, presumably he will give an explanation to the county king at that time, and the county king just waits and sees what happens, and there is no need to move." ”

"What Gongzi Yue said is very true!" Hearing Yue Yunze say such a few words, the anger of the King of Qingning County really disappeared, and the happy smile replaced the indignation of the previous moment, "Then the king will wait patiently for two more days to see what he says then." ”

After speaking, he stood up and shook the fox fur on his body, and said, "Okay, this king will not disturb the Yaxing of the prince in law, and I will see you in the king's mansion the day after tomorrow." ”

"The grass people send the king of the county."

Yue Yunze and Ah Hu bent down again and saluted to send the King of Qingning out of the wing, Du Xiaomeng also followed the team to get up and salute, and watched the King of Qingning County walk out of the wing room with his black big man under him, and walked to another wing room next door with the sign of "Jin Wan Liang". Because the location of the wing room is a little special, when the black man pushed open the door of the wing room, Du Xiaomeng saw a very gorgeous and expensive beauty in it, and the white-skinned and beautiful beauty called out coquettishly, "County King", and then grabbed the arm of the King of Qingning in a charming manner, and leaned on his body like a weak willow supporting the wind. The king of Qingning smiled happily and hugged the slender waist of the beautiful woman, and walked quickly into the wing, and then, the black man quickly flashed into the wing, closing the door.

Although the beauty only came out and shook it for a while, Du Xiaomeng could already see her face clearly. That face actually looks a little similar to Qiu Sha, the difference is that her appearance is relatively softer, unlike Qiu Sha, who has a very obvious high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, curly hair, Northern Barbarian characteristics, her hair is straight, and her eyes are not as green as Qiu Sha.

The beautiful woman who looks like Qiusha next to the King of Qingning County should also be a pink spy sent out by Yue Yunze. When they met for the first time, the king of Qingning gave Du Xiaomeng the feeling that he was a person who had no ability but liked to pose with a shelf. However, judging from his attitude towards Yue Yunze, he not only had respect, but also listened to Yue Yunze's words. Although this county king looks quite straw, after all, he is still a very powerful king of a county, and if such a king-level figure can obey Yue Yunze, a commoner with no status, it will definitely not be as simple as just planting a beautiful spy next to him.

Du Xiaomeng watched casually as Ah Hu closed the door of the wing, then sat down as if relieved, looked at Yue Yunze and asked, "Yunze, is that county king just now the kind of royal family you are talking about here?" He looks like he's richer than you. ”

Yue Yunze replied with a smile: "To be precise, the King of Qingning County is a king with a different surname given by the royal family, and he can be regarded as a real member of the royal family. However, he is the most powerful person in the entire Qingning County. Didn't Xiao'er say that she was looking for someone with status? The most powerful person in Qingning County has already appeared in front of you, how about it? The king of the county is the person you are looking for? ”

Du Xiaomeng shook his head directly without thinking about it and said, "He's not." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Yue Yunze was still smiling, looking directly into Du Xiaomeng's eyes.

Du Xiaomeng pretended to smile mysteriously and asked, "Want to know?" ”

Yue Yunze sat close to her and nodded.

"Intuition." Du Xiaomeng touched her chin and said these two simple words very directly.

On Yue Yunze's calm face, there was not the slightest change in expression, but Ah Hu shouted a little uncalmly: "Intuition? Miss Yang, you're too sloppy, aren't you? ”

Du Xiaomeng had an expression of "I don't blame you for not seeing the world" and said: "My intuition has always been very good. Besides......"

She glanced at the closed door of the chamber, then turned back to look at Yue Yunze, lowered her voice and said seriously: "Shouldn't you people who are called 'kings' here all be wise and powerful, and have a lofty spirit?" But, that county king, he, he is too distinctive. Such a distinctive person will definitely not be the person I am looking for. ”

Hearing her say this, Yue Yunze was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said slowly: "Xiao'er, your so-called intuition, it turns out that you still have to look at your face." ”

Du Xiaomeng snorted with some disdain and said, "Am I like a superficial person who only looks at appearances?" She stretched out her thumb and pointed to her heart, looking directly into Yue Yunze's eyes, "What I look at is the inner temperament." Compared with the county king, I think Yun Ze has the temperament of a royal family. ”

As soon as these words came out, a strange look flashed in Yue Yunze's eyes, but he instantly returned to an indifferent expression, smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Xiao'er, you are too elevated to me." ”

Yue Yunze is style of not making waves, but Ah Hu stood up nervously, made a silent gesture towards Du Xiaomeng, and said urgently in a suppressed voice: "Miss Yang, you can't say this!" Regardless of respect and inferiority, it is a serious matter that you will be killed, your family will be wiped out! ”

"Wouldn't it? Could it be so serious? Du Xiaomeng seemed to be frightened by Ah Hu's words, and her face changed.

"It's fine." Yue Yunze patted her hand, "In our place, ordinary people can't discuss people with honorable status at will, let alone say something insulting to them. As long as you avoid talking about related topics in front of other people in the future, you won't have a problem. ”

Du Xiaomeng had an incredible expression on her face and said, "Your speech here is too unfree. ”

Yue Yunze didn't say anything to her, just took the teacup in front of her and poured out the tea that had become cold, poured another cup, and said, "My tea house is not far from here, I will eat too early later, can you be interested in taking a walk around my tea house?" ”

Again, this is an unexpected but desirable proposition.

Du Xiaomeng immediately said excitedly: "Go, of course I want to go!" ”

Yue Yunze offered to take her to the tea house, maybe he had already arranged something to test her. However, if you can get to know Yue Yunze in one more aspect, such an opportunity cannot be missed.

After eating and drinking, Yue Yunze stood up and said, "Xiao'er, let's go." ”

Ah Hu swallowed the last bite of food, threw down his chopsticks and said, "My subordinates are going to drive for my son!" ”

Yue Yunze walked to the window and pushed open the closed window, looked out of the street and said: "The king of the county is out on patrol, this street is full of his guards, at this moment, idle people can't get close, cars and horses can't pass, and you can only walk to the tea house." ”

Du Xiaomeng followed him and looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw that the street that was originally crowded with people was empty, a red luxury carriage stopped in front of the teahouse, and on both sides of the street stood a strong man wearing uniform clothes, wearing a helmet, and a big knife hanging from his waist, and they continued to line up in two rows, separating the people who were originally setting up stalls, loitering, and passing by on the street to the side streets and alleys on both sides of the street.

It seems that the county king not only likes to pose on a shelf, but also likes this kind of high-profile and ostentatious pomp.

Yue Yunze closed the window, turned around and said, "Ah Hu, you and Xiao'er go downstairs first, I'll go say hello to the county king, and then I'll arrive." ”

"Yes!"

Du Xiaomeng followed Ah Hu downstairs, and walked all the way, the location of the corridor was fine, there were no guards standing guards, but there were at least ten guards standing on both sides of the stairs, and there was a row of guards standing in the hall downstairs near the stairs.

The other guests in the hall were not cleared out, but at this moment, the hall was not as full of people as before, and I saw that the guests present were eating and drinking with their heads down, trying not to make a sound. Occasionally, one or two people finished eating and settling out, and they also bent down to go to the counter to pay the bill, and then continued to bend over and walk out lightly, as if they were afraid that they would make a noise and alarm the big people upstairs.

Different from the restraint of the other guests in the teahouse, Ah Hu led Du Xiaomeng down in great strides, and the guards of the county king standing guard made way to let him walk over.

Du Xiaomeng and Ah Hu stood at the bottom of the stairs for a moment, and Yue Yunze came out.

Following Yue Yunze and Ah Hu out of the door of the teahouse, Du Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment. When I came here just now, I didn't pay attention to it because there were too many people around, but now when I stand on the street, I am surprised to find that this street in Qingning County looks too similar to the riverside street in her hometown, right?
