In order to select the members of the visiting group who will be held accountable to Zacuo at that time, they must be people who are familiar with Sare and have no direct subordinate relationship with the French dynasty and have nothing to do with Zacuo, so that they can be credible.

Hu Xianxian was not very familiar with the relevant personnel of Fanbang, so he only mentioned a few selection criteria and did not participate in the formulation of the list of members.

At the dinner party, Sartre invited the members of the visiting family group to dinner, and also invited Hu Xianxian, only to see that there were acquaintances among these people.

Among the members of these visiting groups were two relatives of the royal family, two sons of Sare's childhood, two old ministers who assisted the three kings of Fanbang, a few wealthy businessmen who had become acquainted with Sare because of their business, and several eminent monks who had been worshipped by Sare.

One of the wealthy merchants was Mataha, and one of the eminent monks was Kutan, and the reunion of old acquaintances only greeted each other politely.

Maitaha was slightly in a trance, a little lonely in the trance, and his eyes tried to avoid Hu Xianxian; Ku Tan sighed helplessly, as if he had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

At the banquet, Hu Xianxian was a little uncomfortable, but the princess who came with Metaha was laughing happily as if she had known her for a long time.

At the gate of the palace, Ku Tan walked a few steps after Hu Xianxian and said, "Master Hu, please go to the place where the old man stays." ”

Hu Xianxian didn't want to listen to his lectures, for fear that it would interfere with his mind that was not easy to straighten out, and when he was in a dilemma, he saw Gan Rutao trotting over, "Master, I finally waited for you to disperse, and they suddenly invited you into the palace without saying what was the matter, I was worried for a long time." ”

"Miss Gan, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" Hu Xianxian saw that Ku Tan wanted to avoid Gan Rutao, so he took Gan Rutao's hand and spoke, and pushed her in front of Ku Tan.

Meeting Hu Xianxian's smiling gaze, Gan Rutao replied happily: "Fortunately, thank you for showing me the way so that I can find Master Kutan." Miss Hu, why are you in Luodu? ”

There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about, Hu Xianxian chuckled and said: "Traveling all over the world, meeting fate, don't ask why you are here." ”

"Giggle...... Miss Hu, you are talking really interesting, a young girl pretends to be like an old Taoist priest with a bull's nose. Bao Yuan smiled and came over, "We are fated to meet, and you are also destined to me?" Come with me to Yingxian Pavilion and sit down, I want to have a good chat with you. ”

Because she was afraid of listening to Ku Tan's lesson, Hu Xianxian agreed to Bao Yuan's invitation.

The Yingxian Pavilion of this Luodu was only properly decorated a few days ago, and it has not yet opened for business, and when I entered the small courtyard where Maitaharu lived, I felt that it was clean and neat, and it was not noisy at all in the downtown area.

Because Bao Yuan was deliberately waiting for Hu Xianxian to leave the palace, so Metaha came back first, and didn't know that Hu Xianxian was coming.

"Young Master Mai, I'm clamoring to go to Luodu with you, and I brought my friends to live, you won't think I'm bothering too much, right?" Bao Yuan used a question, but there was no hint of inquiry in her tone, and there was a threat that you would have to agree with me to do so.

"Princess Bao Yuan, please take care of yourself...... I'm friends with Xianxian......" Metaha was a little overwhelmed with excitement, and after a while, she remembered to pour tea and serve snacks, but she said that she was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep in the bedroom with Hu Xianxian.

Mataha didn't want to say anything more, and reluctantly watched the two of them go out of the living room and into the bedroom.

When she entered the house, she didn't go to sleep, the arrogant look on her face was gone, and she said with a pitiful face: "I really want to find someone to say a few words from my heart, are you willing to listen to me?" I think you know a lot of truth, help me explain, please. ”

"Say yes." Hu Xianxian agreed.

"I'm not afraid of your ridicule, I like Young Master Mai, when I see him, it seems that all other men have become hateful, only he is the best. But he didn't even look at me, and he was angry. I tried my best to get close to him and helped him a lot, and he was finally not so cold to me, but he was only an ordinary friend, and there was no love between men and women. I can't figure out why he doesn't like me. ”

For this question, Hu Xianxian didn't know the answer. She took a closer look at Bao Yuan, a girl with delicate features, long black hair was scattered, and only on the top of her head was a small gold crown with rubies, and she wore a long dress with dark red and yellow trim.

The style of the long skirt in the Manraga style is very simple, but it does not have a neat and atmospheric beauty, and the noble temperament of Bao Yuan brings this beauty to the extreme, but it seems that the face that is very distressed does not match the dress.

"Miss Hu, you stare at me because you think I'm okay, right? But why doesn't he like me? Although my country was seized by thieves and my father was also under house arrest, my exiled princess is also a princess, and I have no power, and I still have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. In any way, I don't have anything to dislike him......" Bao Yuan complained with her hands on her cheeks, her big black eyes shining with tears.

After pondering for a long time, Hu Xianxian asked her rhetorically: "You mean that you are very good, and Young Master Mai should accept your affection?" ”

Bao Yuan was stunned by the question, and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to argue unconvinced, but she didn't say anything after all.

The atmosphere in the room was depressing, and Hu Xianxian saw that Bao Yuan's expression changed from stubborn and unconvinced to depressed and depressed, and said slowly: "If you go shopping, and you pick something that is not so good but fits your eyes, and others insist that you choose another better thing, will you choose another one immediately?" ”

"Of course, I won't listen to what others say to choose things, I have been assertive since I was a child, so I won't be at the mercy of others, and I won't be entangled repeatedly." Bao Yuan replied quite dryly.

Hu Xianxian looked at the depths of her eyes, and said solemnly: "You have answered your own question, in fact, you know very well in your heart the reason why Young Master Mai does not accept you, you are not one of those women who blindly love and just want to follow each other." You can't let go of him, and you follow him everywhere just because you're unwilling. ”

"I'm not reconciled! What was the magic of the woman he was thinking about that that drove him crazy? I don't believe I can't impress him......" Angered by anger appeared on her face.

Hu Xianxian shook his head lightly, "If you chase and fight like this, it will only make him think that you are depriving him of the power of his longing sweetheart." Imagine if you were listening to a story with relish, and others wanted to interfere with you and force you to listen to other stories, would you get angry? ”

At the end of the month, the night sky is starless and moonless, and the lonely sleepless person is even more lonely, and loneliness and obsession are the most difficult inner states to get rid of.

Not only love is obsessed, but also listening to stories, playing chess, gambling, researching and so on, and bystanders will always persuade and complain about all kinds of obsession, and obsessed people are not allowed to be obsessed.

But the obsessed person will become more obsessed, and the opponent will also regard the opponent as an enemy, and the contradictions will become more and more until they cannot be resolved.

Bao Yuan retorted: "Marriage is not the same as listening to stories, he just waits for someone who can't wait, have you ever thought about how worried and anxious your uncle is?" ”

"He's not a three-year-old, he's not an unreasonable person, he knows these situations, you have to give him time to come out of his obsession, he takes the initiative to wake up, not forced to wake up." Hu Xianxian persuaded again.

"When will that be?"

"When you wait, or whether you can get it, it depends on whether you are destined or not. You are such a good woman, I hope he is destined for you. Hu Xianxian hoped that they would have a good result, but he did not force the result.

Bao Yuan sighed, pouted and said: "I also understand the reason you said, but I can't do it, I can't see him and scratch my heart and liver, I want to do all kinds of things to get his attention, I can't wait quietly." ”

"Then think about the other things you should do now, such as defeating the rebels and putting your father back in power." Hu Xianxian suggested.

"I really should do this, but my cousin is not an ordinary person, and my father Wang Yingming Shenwu was also calculated by him, how can I fight him? My father obeyed his edict and wanted to pass on the throne to him after his death, all so that my brother and I could escape smoothly with the treasure, and my father only hoped that our sister and brother would be safe, and I didn't want to risk it. Bao Yuan said solemnly, looking much calmer.

Hu Xian's eyes were full of spiritual power, and he looked at Bao Yuan's luck, not because he was in the middle of his family and wandered outside, so he could rest assured.

She can see that mortals are eighty percent of their lives, but they will be punished by heaven, so they don't dare to take a closer look, just to see if there is a big catastrophe, whether they will be killed, this beautiful woman is very lucky, she must be a rich person, and she should be able to get out of the current predicament quickly.

"I have known Young Master Mai for many years, he is a reasonable and open person, as long as you don't force him to accept you soon, if you have any difficulties, he will definitely help you. As long as you have the heart to do more things, you help each other, and maybe you will naturally have a deep affection. Hu Xianxian no longer said mystical words, and expressed his opinions directly.

Bao Yuan smiled and nodded, smiling a little strangely, Hu Xianxian didn't quite understand what she meant by laughing like this.

"Hehe, Young Master Mai's sweetheart is you, right?" Bao Yuan jumped behind Hu Xianxian and put her arms around her shoulders, "He and his subordinates don't tell me who he likes, today I can see from the way he looks at you that his sweetheart is you, after talking so much, I'm even more sure!" ”

This beautiful woman's thinking is really changing quickly, and Hu Xianxian is a little uncomfortable, "What's so special about the way he looks at me?" Don't guess, think about your business. ”

"It's not that you can't see the love in his eyes, it's that you don't care about him. Alas, just as he doesn't care about me......"

Bao Yuan sighed in the window, and Metaha wandered outside the window and sighed, he heard the two of them muttering and couldn't hear anything clearly, and watched their shadows sway on the window for a long time without realizing it.

They knew that he was outside the window, but it didn't affect anything, but for some reason, Bao Yuan suddenly opened the window, and walked towards Hu Xianxian who was sitting on the stool with a sly smile.

Hu Xianxian didn't guard against her, she was suddenly hugged into her arms from behind, and she shouted out the window: "I hugged the person you can't hold!" It's so fragrant, so soft, haha, envy, right? ”

This, what does it do? Hu Xianxian thinks she is a more masculine woman, but she didn't expect Bao Yuan to be so bold and sweaty, but she was embarrassed to be annoyed. At first, she was in front of her with an indifferent and peaceful fairy look, so she can't be angry about this joke, right?

"Princess, please don't joke, it's getting late, rest early." Mataha's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she barely managed to be polite, and after saying this, she quickly fled back to her room.

In the early morning of 24 May, Hu Xianxian went to Pingzhou and Shazhou one step ahead of schedule to contact all parties and make preparations for the war.

At noon on 28 May, the Makha and his visiting delegation arrived in River City and asked if the rumored puppet Sare was true.
