Chapter 70: The Feast of the Hung Gate
The next day, it was the Hongmen banquet of the lord of the city.
Yan Ran cleaned up and dressed herself up early in the morning, dressed in white men's clothes, dressed gracefully, she did not change her appearance, so that people could see her daughter at a glance.
When she went out, she saw Dongfang Ming waiting at her door, also dressed in white, with a noble temperament, no expression on her face, cold as a snow lotus, and when she saw Yan Ran open the door and come out, her eyes like the bright moon on the sea instantly lit up, and a faint smile appeared on her face, "Lady." ”
Yan Ran then remembered that the city lord's invitation also had the name of Dongfang Ming, thinking of this, she frowned slightly, in fact, she wanted to leave Dongfang Ming to protect Yin Zimeng, because she was afraid that the city lord would give her a transfer from the mountain, although Yin Zimeng had the little fox Qibao by her side, but with Dongfang Ming, she felt more at ease.
Thinking of this, Yan Ran was suddenly stunned, when did she trust Dongfang Ming so much?
"Don't worry, lady, I will protect you." Dongfang Ming saw her brows furrowed, and suddenly spoke.
Yan Ran sighed, this man is always like this, although he follows her side, most of the time silently, making her feel that she has no sense of existence, but every time something happens, he will always stand by her side and tell her that he will protect her. Yan Ran suddenly thought of the night in the Warcraft Forest, she originally thought that she would die in the wolf's mouth, but she didn't expect him to suddenly appear and save her......
"Dongfang Ming, thank you!" Yan Ran suddenly said sincerely, to be honest, he really helped her a lot, if he kept losing his memory, how good would it be......
Well, Yan Ran admits that she likes this cheap bodyguard very much, her martial arts are good, and she looks good, although she is a little verbally cheap by him, but she will not lose a piece of meat, anyway, when she came here, she didn't think about marrying anyone for the rest of her life.
"You are my lady, and it is right to protect my mother." Dongfang Ming's face was full of smiles, and what he said was even more natural.
Yan Ran did not refuse, turned around to find Yin Zimeng, today she left, Yin Zimeng's safety must be arranged.
However, after all, the manpower is limited, even if it is the best protection, Yan Ran still feels that it is not enough, however, she is not worried that the other party will really hurt Yin Zimeng, after all, the life of the city lord's sister is still in her hands.
After making a series of traps in Yin Zimeng's room, Yan Ran specially instructed the little fox Qibao to protect Yin Zimeng's safety.
With the lesson of the last time, the little fox nodded cautiously, the master can rest assured, I will not let the little master have an accident.
Yan Ran nodded, looked at the hourglass, and then left with confidence.
"Uncle Dongfang, you must protect your aunt well." Yin Zimeng suddenly grabbed Dongfang Ming's hand and looked up at him, his round black and white eyes were full of worry, he didn't quite understand what this banquet was yesterday, but after the analysis of Uncle Fuji Zhong and Uncle Liu Xing, he already knew that this banquet would be very dangerous. Although he has always disliked Dongfang Ming's aunt who clings to him too much, today, he feels that it is actually quite good to have Uncle Dongfang by his aunt's side, at least, Uncle Dongfang is strong in martial arts and can protect his aunt.
Dongfang Ming touched his head, gave him a reassuring look, and then quickly followed Yan Ran's footsteps.
Yin Zimeng looked at the back of the two leaving, and was worried in her heart, "Qibao-chan, did you say that aunt will be in danger?" ”
The little fox Qibao lay on his shoulder, raised his paw and gave him the back of the head, the master is so powerful, what are you afraid of!
Anyway, in the eyes of the little fox Qibao, its master should be invincible in the world.
……
Baoyue Tower is a restaurant where the lord of the city feasts them.
Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming swayed slowly all the way, and from a distance, they saw that Baoyue Tower was surrounded by a group of soldiers, all of those soldiers were in armor, their blades were bright, and they stood straight, and the battle was not like a banquet, and then it was like an execution ground.
Seeing this, Dongfang Ming's face sank, and after a while, he suddenly pulled his lips and showed a smile that turned all beings upside down: "Lady, I didn't expect that there would be so many soldiers on guard for dinner today." ”
Yan Ran turned his head and saw his charming smile with a little bewitchment, and suddenly, there were flowers in front of him, damn, this man is simply a disaster.
In fact, Yan Ran didn't know that in the eyes of other men, she was also a disaster.
"Let's go, I want to meet the city lord after all, he is our parents and officials." Yan Ran didn't want to clash with the biggest boss in Cloud City, because she was going to settle here, and only a fool would offend the city lord here.
The two walked side by side, looking from a distance, a pair of men and women, really talented and beautiful, looking pleasing to the eye, like a beautiful picture.
At the door of Baoyue Tower, a man in his thirties, with a round face, thin eyes and a high nose was waiting, seeing Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming both coming, his eyes couldn't help but show a touch of amazement, as the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Wei had long known about this pair of men and women, but he didn't expect them to be so young, so handsome and beautiful.
Yan Ran has always maintained a smile on her face, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, so she is used to the corners of her lips hooking a perfect arc, but Dongfang Ming has a cold face, and her eyes are high and cold.
"Please, your lordship is already waiting upstairs." Mu Wei also had a smile on his face, but unfortunately, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he looked at Yan Ran and Dongfang Ming with a little disagreement.
Yan Ran was very surprised, she didn't expect the dignified city lord to come here and wait for them first.
"Thank you." After politely speaking, Yan Ran and the two followed Mu Wei's footsteps and walked upstairs.
But Mu Wei was surprised to find that Yan Ran was following him, while Dongfang Ming was following Yan Ran. This order made Mu Wei can't help but look at Yan Ran twice. You must know that this Fengtian Continent is a world where men are superior to women, everywhere, men are in front, and women are carefully following behind, and now, these two people are ......
Could it be that this pair of men and women, in fact, is in charge of this woman named Yan Ran?
Mu Wei led Yan Ran and the two into a box called "Linyue Xuan".
In the box, several maids in pink jackets were burning incense and cooking wine, very quiet.
A man in purple stood by the window, looking out at the scenery.
"My lord, Dongfang Gongzi and Miss Yan Ran have arrived." Mu Wei replied softly.
The purple-clothed man standing in front of the window raised his hand elegantly, and Mu Wei made a gesture of invitation to Yan Ran and the others.
Yan Ran was not polite, pulled Dongfang Ming to sit down, and the maid immediately served fragrant tea.
Then, Mu Wei and the maids took a few steps back and stood with their hands down, and the box fell into an eerie silence again.
Yan Ran didn't speak, looked at the city lord standing at the window with interest, looked at his tall back, and guessed in his heart what his front was like, of course, more to guess why today's Hongmen banquet started from the back, just now below, looking at those soldiers with weapons and majestic, she also thought that as soon as the city lord came up, he would give them a dismount, who knows, he only gave them a back, this is to make trouble?
Just when she was happy, she suddenly felt a warmth in her hand, looked down, but it was Dongfang Ming who held her hand, and then raised her eyes, but saw Dongfang Ming looking at her with a resentful face, the moon-like eyes on the sea with an emotion called accusation, clearly stated a meaning, lady, how can you keep staring at other men!
Yan Ran's head was full of black lines, and he coughed softly.
Her soft cough seemed to wake up the city lord, and his straight back froze, and after a moment, he finally turned around.
Yan Ran finally saw his true face of Lushan, wow, another handsome guy!
A pair of amber deep eyes made Yan Ran feel an exotic, handsome and deep-eyed, high nose, very obvious mixed-race feeling, a jade dragon-shaped hairpin on his head, simple and generous, jade color lush, lining his whole person has a different kind of charm; The lilac brocade robe, the jade belt girdles, and the extravagance of the whole body is extraordinary.
It's just that why does such a noble and handsome man have a melancholy face?
Yan Ran guessed the various expressions of this big boss, angry, majestic, and serious...... However, I didn't expect him to be, melancholy?
Yan Ran felt very surprised, this city lord was a little far from what she imagined, looking at him like this, that was a man with a story......
Yan Ran was thinking a lot here, but Dongfang Ming on the side turned dark, can the lady be swollen like that, obviously he is better-looking, why is the lady staring at this hateful city lord?
"The city lord invited us and his wife to a banquet today, I don't know what he wants?" Dongfang said with a dark face.
Yan Ran rolled her eyes at the beam, couple? Who's married to him? Yan Ran stared at Dongfang Ming with a look of wanting to kill.
Dongfang Ming didn't seem to notice Yan Ran's anger, and stared straight at the city lord Mu Xueyi, he was unhappy, very unhappy, why could this man get so much attention from his mother?!
It has to be said that jealous men cannot use common sense to infer their behavior.
Mu Xueyi looked at the men and women in front of her, although she had been prepared, she still couldn't help but admire in her heart, what a good match for men and women.
"Dongfang Gongzi is really refreshing, and the city lord will not beat around the bush." Mu Xueyi finally spoke, and his warm voice like spring water made people sound very comfortable, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was wearing a mask.
"If the city lord has anything to say, just say it." Dongfang Ming held Yan Ran's hand and spoke again, looking like a husband and wife.
Although Yan Ran was depressed in her heart, she didn't speak, she just looked at Mu Xueyi carefully, not letting go of any expression on his face.
Dongfang Ming's heart became more and more depressed, still watching, still watching...... Holding Yan Ran's hand became more and more forceful.
