Chapter 111: Intensification
At the gate of Duanfu, the horses' hooves sounded in unison, and the footsteps were chaotic, and the sound was like thunder.
After Duan Xingde got out of the way and made a gesture of allowing him to enter the door, Zhu Rong immediately raised a hand and waved it at the guards.
The guards dismounted in unison with his gestures.
"So, then bother." Zhu Rong arched his hand towards Duan Xingde, put the iron coupon in his pocket, and strode into the threshold of Duan Mansion.
Wei Yong and the other guards followed him and were about to enter as well, but the guards at the door suddenly lowered their spears and stopped the guards behind.
"Wait." The old man spoke slowly.
Zhu Rong, who had already taken a few steps, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist, turned his head and looked at Duan Xingde quietly.
"Although I don't know you, you are the only one here who is a descendant of the Zhu family, right?" Duan Xingde narrowed his eyes and asked.
The old man's prying eyes made Zhu Rong feel very uncomfortable, but the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, the influence of the Duan clan in Huizhou was extraordinary, Zhu Rong couldn't help but give face to the patriarch of the Duan clan, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and nodded honestly.
"Yes." The boy replied.
"Since you have the Danshu iron coupon, the old man can't stop you here, but this iron coupon can only protect you alone, and your guards are not included." Duan Xingde said in a deep voice.
Zhu Rong frowned, having a hunch of what the old man was going to say next.
"There are many women in the house, so you can only be allowed to enter alone, these guards of yours, if you insist on taking them in, the moment they enter, I will send secret guards to kill them all."
The old man's words were amiable, but the murderous aura hidden inside was clear.
Zhu Rong understood that what this patriarch said was irrefutable, he took a deep breath, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said to Wei Yong and the others behind him.
"Uncle Wei, you wait for me here, I'll go back when I go."
"Big young master!" Wei Yong and the others widened their eyes and looked at Zhu Rong with a worried face, "This is absolutely impossible, in case you meet ......"
Wei Yong's words were not finished, but Zhu Rong already understood what he meant.
If it is a trap, if the Duan clan is related to the person behind the murder of him, then if he goes in alone, he is heading for his own death.
This is not the underground world he is familiar with, but the family he has entered for the first time, and the above-earth world is new to him, but at the same time unknown and full of dangers.
Looking at the gate of the Duan Mansion in front of him, Zhu Rong originally thought that he would be scared and would cower.
The morning light gilded the young man's body with a faint layer of soft gold edges, and Zhu Rong raised his hand and looked at the faint, barely visible traces left by the festering tumor on his hand.
He let out a long breath.
He wasn't scared at all.
Zhu Rong touched the hilt of the heavy sword at his waist, as if he could still feel the residual warmth left by the girl.
Immediately, he felt that his thoughts and actions were a little disgusting, and he laughed embarrassedly.
"Young Master?" Wei Yong and the others looked at the young master who was standing in front and suddenly laughed, and asked suspiciously.
"Uncle Wei, it's okay, since you can only let me go alone, let me go alone." Zhu Rong turned his head, looked at Wei Yong, smiled heartily, and then without waiting for Wei Yong and the others to answer, the young man took a big step and walked into the gate of Duan's mansion.
The door slowly closed behind him, closing Wei Yong and the others out.
……
……
At the same time, in the depths of Duan's mansion, in a small building by the water next to the back garden, Princess Jinyang was sitting by the window and looking out of the window.
"Your Highness, would you like to rest for a while?" The Tao lady skillfully made tea beside her, while persuading.
"You didn't close your eyes almost all night last night, and now that you've finally quieted down, why do you sit here all the time?" Lady Tao looked at Princess Jinyang in confusion.
Princess Jinyang took the teacup handed by the Tao Lady, shook her head lightly without saying a word, and turned to look at the empty water outside.
"Are we here to affect His Highness's rest?" Duan Lizheng, who was sitting on the side, said. On the low couch not far away, the brothers Duan Lizheng and Duan Haochu were playing against each other, while Duan Zhiyun was drawing hairpins on the small table beside him.
"What the hell is there?" Princess Jinyang turned her head and looked at the three of them, "Thanks to Duan Gongzi, you are here, even if there are cultivators here, you can resist for a while." ”
"yes." Duan Zhiyun, who was practicing calligraphy on the side, raised her head, "Second brother, you have a task today," she finished with a smile, and then looked at Duan Haochu, "But big brother, you're just adding to it, it's useless." ”
"As if you're not." Duan Haochu put down a white child and said without raising his head.
"My grandfather arranged it himself." Duan Zhiyun glared at Duan Haochu and replied with a smile.
Then Duan Zhiyun shouted at Princess Jinyang, "Your Highness, you give me a comment, who is the head!" ”
Princess Jinyang uncovered the tea cup in her hand, her eyes still did not leave the window, and she laughed softly.
"This ...... But it's hard to say. She said.
"Your Highness!" Duan Zhiyun screamed, although the movements in her hands were still on the paper, the girl raised her head and looked at Princess Jinyang slightly from the side.
She had never seen the princess before, and this time the two brothers had brought her to the house, which made her very proud and happy.
After carefully understanding Princess Jinyang's preferences from the two brothers, she felt that this kind of relationship might leave a good impression on Princess Jinyang.
"I heard that there is martial law outside?" Princess Jinyang didn't put the previous conversation in her mind, and asked Duan Haochu.
"Yes, the main reason is that I am afraid that there will be spies from other countries mixed in." Duan Haochu explained.
Princess Jinyang was silent when she heard this.
She moved her gaze back to the window, because the weather was still cold and there were no plants in the back garden, Jin Yang thought about everything he had experienced in the previous day and night, and his heart was full of doubts.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang," she knew who was calling her when she heard this long title, Princess Jinyang finally turned around this time, she looked at Duan Haochu and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
"What are you waiting for?" Duan Haochu looked into Princess Jinyang's eyes and asked.
"It's nothing...... Princess Jinyang smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to say that she didn't wait for anything, when suddenly a young figure appeared in her field of vision.
This is a complete stranger teenager
Princess Jinyang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The young man seemed to be in a hurry, ran all the way, and soon disappeared downstairs, and then the voice of the palace maid came from outside.
"Your Highness, Zhu Rong, the son of Zhu Hao, the third generation of British dukes, asks to see you."
Princess Jinyang was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded at Lady Tao.
Duan Zhiyun took the notebook and changed to a more remote position.
Lady Tao opened the door.
With the pouring morning light, the figure of the young man appeared in front of her.
The eyes of everyone in the house were focused on the door at this time, and the door was opened to reveal a young man in riding clothes, his face became more and more white against the background of black riding clothes, handsome like a jade man, looking closely, only felt a little dizzy.
