Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 170 Breaking the Rules
Wu Heng, who had been faintly uneasy in his heart, finally got up and left the house, and walked quickly all the way to the small courtyard of Duanmu Shuofeng, and the people along the way were very surprised.
He was in a hurry, and happened to meet Wei Chi Dun who had come to report on official business at the gate of the courtyard.
For this Wei Chi family member who put the shelf extremely low in front of Duanmu Shuofeng, but was actually an unusually arrogant person, Wu Heng didn't think much about it, and took the initiative to say hello.
"General Wei Chi!"
The Wei Chi family is the direct descendant of the founding general Wei Chi Lin, the ancestors have the merit of founding the country, the generations have received the emperor's grace, the family is extremely powerful, no one in the past dynasties and dynasties dare to disrespect them, it is a very transcendent existence in the defense of the country, and now the family woman is the queen of the dynasty, this Wei Chi is the uncle of Duanmu Shuofeng according to the generation, and is the direct line of the Wei Chi family, not the side family, Duanmu Shuofeng can call him around, but who dares outsiders?
In terms of human sophistication, it belongs to the "human spirit" Of course, Wu Heng knows how to deal with it, it is nothing more than talking to people, talking nonsense to ghosts, and he took the initiative to salute him at the moment, and when Wei Chi saw it, his face suddenly softened a little, for this Mr. Wu who didn't know where he came from, he was so appreciated by his nephew, and even held great power, and even got the honor of being able to enter Duanmu Shuofeng's study without telling him, these old people who came with him from the capital were actually a little resentful, but now people put their posture low, but it made his vanity very satisfied.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, the face is given to each other, Wei Chidun is not a stupid person, the posture of the person is so low, there is no need to give a face.
Wei Chidun hurriedly responded with his fists clenched: "Mr. Wu!"
Wu Heng stretched out his hand and said very politely: "General Wei Chi is also here to find Gongzi, why don't you go in together." β
Wei Chidun grinned, nodded and said, "Mr. invited, you should obey, please!"
Wu Heng also smiled back and said, "The general is polite." β
The two walked to the door of the study together, Duanmu Shuofeng saw it inside, and quickly stood up from his seat, he didn't even look at Wei Chi Dian, and asked directly to Wu Heng with concern.
"Sir is here again, but is there anything urgent?"
Wu Heng came to offer a plan just now, but he didn't expect that he had just left for a long time, and he actually ran over again, Duanmu Shuofeng was naturally very puzzled, what could not be said at once, or something big happened again.
Wu Heng didn't want to take the lead, glanced at the side, and said first: "It's just some trivial things, General Wei Chi's matter must be more urgent, let General Wei Chi say it first." β
When Duanmu Shuofeng heard this, he glanced at the other party very suspiciously, but he still waved his hand at Wei Chidun and said, "Let's talk about it, what is the matter?"
Although Wei Chidun was not angry with the other party and asked Wu Heng if he didn't ask himself, he was familiar with Duanmu Shuo's temper, so he still didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Eldest prince, it's about the city defense, and Qi Lianjun has some opinions. β
The two walked to the side and chatted for a long time about the city defense, halfway Wu Heng had been standing beside him, listening quietly, and did not interject, he knew human nature, now even if he just opened his mouth to make suggestions, he would inevitably be hated by Wei Chi Dan, it was better to wait for the Captain Chi Dan to leave, and then he would propose it alone.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Chi Xuan had already finished his report, saluted and left, Wu Heng stepped forward and said with his intention: "Childe, when I went out just now, I met a living person in the house, and I didn't ask much when I saw that I was following the young lady, but I can't be lazy about the city defense recently, I'm afraid of extraneous branches, so I came to ask, does Childe know who he is?"
Duanmu Shuofeng raised his head and glanced at him, and quipped, "Why is Sir so interested in him? β
Wu Heng suddenly explained with some embarrassment: "It's just a little curious, and the eldest prince also knows that recently is a critical timeγγγγγγ β
Duanmu Shuofeng rubbed the ink on his hand just now, and said very casually: "A few days ago, Nan Li was not bewitched by those two maids and ran out secretly, the one who saved Nan Li at that time was that kid, Nan Li bumped into him in the city in the morning, it is said that he was attacked by thieves and lost his memory, and was rescued by the people in the mountains, Nan Li took him to the house to live temporarily, what, is Mr. here for this person?"
Saying that, Duanmu Shuofeng also grinned and said: "This kid, his martial arts are really good, even Houyin is not an opponent, and he is better than him, I guess he must be a disciple of the Damen faction, and he is preparing to recruit it. β
Wu Heng frowned deeply, and did not say anything about the so-called dragon qi he saw, but said: "Since Gongzi has the intention to solicit him, I should relieve Gongzi's worries, Gongzi said that he was rescued by the people in the mountains? β
Duanmu Shuofeng glanced at him and said: "The pair of grandfathers and grandsons were arranged by me in the courtyard in the south, Mr. has this heart, I am very happy, so let the next person take Mr. to try it." β
When Wu Heng heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "It's just a matter of duty." β
With that, he got up and said goodbye, and left with the recruited subordinates.
Duanmu Shuofeng held the paperwork in his hand, looked at the back of the other party's departure, and frowned: "Just a special trip for this matter?"
----------------------------------
On the other side, Duanmu Nanli and the anxious Gu Xuan also begged Xie Houyin's side.
After Xie Houyin first took someone to clean up the room where Gu Xuan wanted to live, he has been resting silently in his own room, he is now the full-time escort of the eldest lady, basically living in the house every day, and he has not returned to the barracks for a long time.
"Out of town?"
Xie Houyin sat in the room, and after putting tea for the two opposite, he asked very suspiciously.
Duanmu Nanli explained to him on the side: "Tang Gongzi has now recalled his identity, so he wants to leave Qilian City. β
Xie Houyin glanced at Gu Xuan, who was sitting opposite, and was even more puzzled: "This kind of thing can be done directly by the eldest lady to find the son, what are you looking for me?"
Duanmu Nanli hurriedly said: "Brother, you also know that he is busy with official business, why bother him about this little thing?"
Xie Houyin said in a deep voice towards Gu Xuan: "It's always not good to say goodbye without saying goodbye." β
Seeing that there was already a suspicious look on the other party's face, knowing that this level was not easy, Gu Xuan hurriedly explained: "Hey, how can I not see the intention of the eldest prince's solicitation, but there is really an urgent matter to deal with in the next place, this matter is very important, and it cannot be delayed, but the kindness of the eldest prince, I am very gracious, I am afraid that if I meet, I will not be able to leave." β
At that moment, he said the rhetoric about Duanmu Nanli again, but Xie Houyin was not a little girl like Duanmu Nanli who was ignorant of the world and would easily trust others, and there was still a strong look of doubt on her face.
"The eldest prince is a sensible person, as long as Tang Gongzi makes things clear, I think the eldest prince is absolutely willing to let Tang Gongzi leave, not to mention that now the whole city is under martial law, and it is really difficult to let people out. β
Duanmu Nanli explained: "It's just that we know that it's difficult to let people out, so we will ask for you, Brother Houyin, you should do Nanli a favor, okay?"
As soon as she was so coquettish, her face turned red, not to mention a young man who had never been close to a woman.
Xie Houyin was also so agitated that he turned his face slightly, but he still didn't relax: "I really can't be the master of this matter, Miss Nan Li should go to the eldest prince to discuss it in person." β
Duanmu Nanli was a little angry, just now she swore to Gu Xuan that she would definitely let him leave, and even put down her body and lied to her, but now it still doesn't work, she just feels very embarrassed, and she wants to lose her temper with this Xie Houyin.
Gu Xuan stopped her and comforted her softly, "I'll come." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Xie Houyin and said, "Brother Xie, let's go out and talk." β
Xie Houyin clasped his hands on his chest, raised his head, and responded calmly, "What are you talking about?"
Duanmu Nanli was still very knowledgeable, and immediately said to Gu Xuan: "Then I'll go out and wait for you." β
With that, he got up and left the room.
After another half an hour, Gu Xuan came out of the room, and Duanmu Nanli immediately greeted him and asked with concern.
"How?"
Gu Xuan smiled confidently at her: "It's solved, he promised to send me out of the city." β
"Huh?"
Duanmu Nanli looked at each other in surprise, but when he saw Xie Houyin, who came out from behind, his expression was a little unnatural, and he believed it, and immediately cast a worshipful gaze towards the 'Tang Gongzi' in front of him.
You know, Xie Houyin is famous for acting according to the rules, and he has a different temperament, what did he say to make him break the rules?
