Chapter 103, The Six Princes
The wide carriage was warm and fragrant, a small square table was full of neat tea sets, and the young man who was making kung fu tea raised his star eyes slightly, his eyes faintly swept over the three people who had just gotten into the carriage, and there was no emotion on his face, and finally fell on Xie Qingning's face, and said with a smile, "Young Master Pei, it is really better to meet than to be famous, I have admired it for a long time, please take a seat." ”
Xie Qingning was inexplicably flustered by his calm gaze, but she immediately comforted herself, "Xie Qingning, what are you afraid of, this time is different from the past, he no longer recognizes who you are." ”
After figuring out this question, she sat down at the table unceremoniously, and motioned for Xie Huazhao and the two to sit down with her eyes.
Xie Lan and the others, who had already thought that she were looking at the horse, were not polite, and after they sat down one after another, they felt a muffled sound from the carriage, and the wheels seemed to have encountered some obstacle and stopped moving forward instantly, and the surrounding footsteps quickly approached, and the firelight that reflected half of the sky surrounded the carriage, and a heat wave hit, making the temperature in the carriage immediately rise by a few degrees.
"Who? Get out. A gloomy male voice came from the front, and the faces of Xie Qingning and the three people sitting in the car changed at the same time, and their breathing was also short.
The six princes stopped making tea, and their fingers, which were as white as chives, gently picked up the tea poured in front of them, and sent them to the guests one by one.
Outside the carriage, Sun Li's cold laughter came, "Who are you?" How dare you stop our carriage? ”
"This is Dangyang City, and there is no carriage that we dare not search!" The person opposite was obviously a person with a high status in the Wu Mansion, and his tone was very frivolous, which made people very unhappy to hear.
It's a pity that he is destined to stop the wrong carriage today, and he also ran into someone who can't be provoked at all. I only heard Sun Li say, "Really? Well, I'd like to see if you dare to search the car! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qingning heard an unusually sharp sword qi whistling away, the silver light outside the car appeared but quickly fell silent, and a dull cry came from the quiet night, mixed with the sound of gasping cold air, the atmosphere was suddenly dull, and no sound came out for a long time.
"You...... Are you nobles who came to the capital? Fang Cai's gloomy voice slowly spoke, but it was full of endless fear and panic, showing that it was Fang Cai's peerless swordsmanship that reminded him of someone's identity, so he asked a little fearfully.
Sun Li snorted coldly and said, "What do you think? If you want to search our carriage, I'm afraid you need the head of your Wu family to come in person, you ...... Not worthy yet! ”
Although these words were extremely arrogant, no one dared to question them, only listening to the voice of the kid on the other side getting weaker, but he still added unwillingly, "It's not right for me to bump into the noble person tonight, but I am ordered by the head of the family to search for a thief who stole the precious treasures of the Wu Mansion, and I hope that the noble person will forgive me." ”
"Thieves? You can search for it, what? Do you dare to suspect that we are hiding thieves? ”
"No...... Of course you don't dare, noble please. The other party hesitated for a moment, after all, he didn't dare to offend the nobles in the capital, so he could only grit his teeth and let go, with the sound of footsteps retreating, the carriage moved forward slowly, slowly passing through the bright area, and the air that was so oppressive that it was about to suffocate was gradually left behind, until he couldn't feel it at all, Xie Qingning secretly let out a long breath.
However, when she noticed that the gaze beside her had been falling on her face intentionally or unintentionally, the relieved mood just now contracted again, but she could only pretend to know nothing and turned her head with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Bei is grateful." ”
"Really? Since Brother Tai is grateful, have you ever thought about how to repay it? The sixth prince retracted his gaze, slowly picked up the teacup in front of him and tasted it lightly, ignoring Xie Qingning's stunned expression, until there was a slight embarrassment in her eyes before he sneered, "Just kidding, brother Tai doesn't have to be serious." ”
Although Xie Qingning was not sure what the six princes wanted, he thought that since he had already colluded with Xue Hongchen, of course he did not want the marriage between the Wu family and the Jin family to succeed, and she was a favorable weapon to disrupt this marriage, so his sudden appearance was not incomprehensible.
"Brother Tai is a wonderful person." In order to hide her embarrassment, Xie Qingning had to pick up the teacup in front of her and pretend to taste tea, and after seeing Xie Huazhao who was squeezing her eyebrows at her out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly remembered that there were still them, and hurriedly introduced to the sixth prince, "These two are my friends, I am really embarrassed about today's matter, let's leave here, don't disturb the prince to go back and rest early." ”
Seeing her get up and want to leave, the sixth prince said, "I'm afraid that as soon as you get off the carriage, you will be killed on the spot." ”
Xie Qingning, who had just bowed down and stood up, was stunned for a moment, a trace of entanglement flashed between his eyebrows, and then he sat down again, turned his head to look at the harmless face of the six princes, and sighed, "Could it be that we all have to spend the night in the carriage tonight?" ”
"Not necessarily, I have a safe place for you to stay tonight, as long as you don't dislike it." The sixth prince put down the teacup, slowly sat up straight, and said with a smile.
"Where do you dare to dislike it, we will remember the great kindness of Brother Tai, and we will thank you in the future." Xie Huazhao, who didn't know the situation at all, rushed to answer, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the corners of Xie Qingning's mouth twitching slightly, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to cough twice to hide his embarrassment.
The prince of the dignified Heavenly Dynasty Night Clan, what kind of thank-you gift can fall into his eyes?
Xie Qingning raised her hand to support her forehead, turned around and opened the curtain on her side, and after her eyes swept over the dark and gloomy street, she found that the carriage was heading towards the gate of Dangyang City, and it seemed that she was going out of the city, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With the big backer of the Six Princes to escort her, she is naturally not afraid of the Wu family's pursuit, but what about him? What is his purpose? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After that, no one spoke, and it wasn't until Sun Li stopped the carriage and showed something to the guards guarding the city that the heavy city gate was slowly opened halfway, allowing the carriage to drive out of Dangyang City and slowly blend into the black green mountains and green waters outside the city.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of a courtyard outside the city, Xie Qingning couldn't help but look back in the direction of Dangyang City, the city more than ten miles away was majestic and continuous under the night, but it revealed a bit of heavy condensation under the dark sky, like a giant beast, which would devour any outsider who dared to offend it at any time.
Xie Qingning was a little worried about Liu Yingjie's safety, but thinking that he was not an ordinary businessman, and he had been lurking beside them all these days, but he had not been felt by Xie Huazhao and Lan Yongzhi, and he must not be an easy person to deal with, so he settled down again, and under the leadership of Sun Li, he followed the six princes into the gorgeous courtyard in front of him.
