Chapter XIV Introduction

On the front lawn of a bamboo hut in the bamboo forest by the stream, there is a stone table in the courtyard, and a man in a white shirt is sitting quietly drinking tea at the stone table.

Behind the man in white stood a man in blue with tight and narrow sleeves, the man was very serious, as if he was standing guard for the man in white.

The pleasant sound of wind chimes ringing could be heard in the distance.

The man in white put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the dirt road between the bamboo forests. The leaves of the bamboo trees fluttered on the dirt road, and the falling bamboo leaves fluttered wantonly with the breeze.

In the distance, the man in white looked at a carriage slowly driving on the dirt road, and the sound of the wind chimes in the green ears was the sound of the wind chimes hanging from the carriage.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the man in white's mouth, and only after the carriage stopped on the front lawn of the courtyard did a woman get out of the carriage slowly.

The woman was also dressed in white, and her gauze skirt fluttered with the bamboo leaves in the breeze.

After the woman saw the man in white's gaze, a blushing smile appeared on her face, she approached the man in white, and after reaching him, she said softly to him: "Master Hou."

"You're here." The man in white said with a smile.

The woman smiled and said, "You let Ni come, can Ni come?"

The man in white waved his hand lightly and motioned for her to sit, Nangong Ni sat down unceremoniously, and the man also sat down with him.

Cheng You, who was behind the man in white, stepped forward and poured tea for Nangong Ni, then stepped aside again.

Nangong Ni took a sip of the teacup, put it down and looked directly at the man in white in front of him, and asked, "Why did Master Hou want Ni to approach the King of the North Sea?"

The man in white raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips and smiled, "It's to let Tuoba Xiang know you, so that it will be convenient for you to go to Pingcheng in the future." ”

Nangong Ni was puzzled: "Then why don't you just let Ni get close to the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, isn't he also present."

The man in white shook his head lightly, "The introduction of the North Sea King will be more useful to you in the future." ”

Nangong Ni didn't ask any more, but just thought of the woman in the Hongyan Tower, and after thinking about it, she said to the man in white: "In the Hongyan Tower, I saw a woman, she is too similar to the woman in the painting in the Hou Ye's mansion, I don't know if the woman in the Hou Ye's painting is her?"

The hand of the man in white holding the teacup suddenly stopped, and his eyes were cold, as if he was hesitating.

Nangong Ni felt that she had asked the wrong thing, and she was a little surprised, she had heard that Hou Ye had a favorite woman back then, it seemed that maybe she guessed right at this time. The woman I saw in Hongyan Tower must have nothing to do with Hou Ye.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

I'm going back to Pingcheng with my eldest brother, and I want to say goodbye to Ji Yudao, but when I parted that day, he didn't say where he stayed. I asked my eldest brother to inquire, and when my eldest brother came back, he told me that the king of Beihai lived in the Fuyuan Inn, and when I heard the name of this inn, I suddenly remembered Yuan Gongzi, who also lived there.

Didn't the inn let Yuan Gongzi charter it, why did Ji Yu also live there?

At this time, I am very sure in my heart that Ji Yu and Yuan Gongzi know each other. In Hongyan Tower, the eyes of the two of them looking at each other can prove everything.

Gao Shouwen accompanied me to the Fuyuan Inn, and he said that he would personally thank the King of Beihai for saving me. Because after recognizing Gao Shouwen, he asked me about my situation, and I told him that I fell at the bottom of the cliff, floated in the river, and got lost in the forest, and it was the King of the North Sea who saved me.

When I came to the door of the Fuyuan Inn, I was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to see Ji Yu or Yuan Gongzi first.

How to say that they are both friends, although Yuan Gongzi has some practices that I don't like very much, but his people are not very annoying.

"Don't you go in?" Gao Shouwen urged me on the side.

I came back to my senses, pursed my lips and smiled, lifted the hem of my skirt and walked in.

When the shopkeeper of the inn saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "The inn is full, and there are no guests, so the guest officer will go to the next inn."

I didn't respond to him, just smiled at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at me carefully, and then nodded and said, "It's the white girl, the old man is dizzy, the girl is here to find Yuan Gongzi, he is upstairs."

The shopkeeper knew me, and was imprisoned in the inn by Yuan Gongzi for a few days, and the shopkeeper would personally come to say goodbye every day, and would personally ask me what I needed, what dishes I liked to eat, and he was very hospitable to me.

I also know that Yuan Gongzi paid the silver taels, and of course he has to serve well.

If you want to leave, you should say to Yuan Gongzi, after all, he also takes good care of me.

I nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "Yes." ”

Gao Shouwen asked suspiciously, "Who is Yuan Gongzi?" I didn't tell him about Yuan Gongzi, and it was normal for him to hear the question.

I was about to tell him that at this moment Gongyi stood at the entrance of the corridor and said to us, "Girl, the Lord is waiting for you."

If this is the case, then see Yuan Gongzi first, and then go to see Ji Yu later, and say goodbye to them anyway.

"Master Gao, please stay, our lord only sees the girl." Gong Yi walked down and stopped Gao Shouwen, who was following me closely.

Gao Shouwen wanted to say something, forget it, he might be afraid that I would be in any danger, but I nodded to him, and he stopped.

I personally walked upstairs and came to the door of Yuan Gongzi's room, and only then did I knock on the door, and the door was opened, and Yuan Gongzi stood by the door. Looking at the situation, it was as if he was waiting for me to go upstairs and open the door immediately.

He looked at me with a smile in his eyes and said gently, "Did you just think of me?" It's been a few days since I've seen your big brother. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and he was expecting me to come.

"Come in." He grabbed my hand, pulled me into the room, and closed the door.

I'm a little shy, it's always bad to let a man hold hands, Ji Yu is also in this inn, so let him see it, and think that I have something with this Yuan Gongzi.

I struggled to break free of him.

Seeing my reaction, his face stiffened, and then he smiled again, "The white girl has found herself, and my son is really happy for you." Gao Shouwen is Gao Yang's eldest son, Gao Yang is the protector general of the imperial court, and the Gao family is also a famous family, and the identity of the girl is really unusual. ”

I smiled lightly, "This is Gao Shouwen to recognize the pro, and I don't remember him at all, nor do I remember the Gao family, for me, the Gao family is just a stranger." ”

"Even if you don't remember, it's your home, and your memory will recover sooner or later." Yuan Gongzi looked at me and pursed his lips lightly.

I laughed.

For a home that I don't remember anymore, what will it be like when I go back, can I feel the warmth of home?

"You're going back to Pingcheng?" He asked.

I looked up at him with drooping eyes and replied, "Yes, I'll leave tomorrow." Since I am a child of the Gao family, I have to go back, although I don't remember, but I still have to find it. ”

Yuan Gongzi stretched his face and smiled, "This son will also return to Pingcheng, let's go together." ”

I hurriedly refused, "No need, just have my eldest brother with me." ”

Yuan Gongzi brushed the ground and blackened his face, silent.

I had come to say goodbye to him, and I bowed him a salute and said, "Then I'll go first."

Before he could answer me, I turned around and walked towards the door.

"You are in a hurry to see the King of Beihai, he has already left Yangcheng and returned to Beijing last night."

Yuan Gongzi's voice floated coldly from behind him.

Sure enough, they knew each other.

Ji Yu and I didn't come to say goodbye, since Yuan Gongzi knew.

I turned around, "Do you know Ji Yu?" ”

I know it's redundant, but I'd like to hear about it.

Yuan Gongzi smiled, "Of course I know, he is the king of the North Sea, and no one in the capital knows." ”

Also, looking at the identity of Yuan Gongzi, he is either a wealthy family or a family, and it is certain that he knows Ji Yu.

He walked towards me lightly, his face changed slightly, and he was very serious, "Do you think that the King of the North Sea rescued you from the Misty Forest?" ”

Isn't it?

But how did he know that I had been lost in the misty forest, once dying.

Did the King of the North Sea tell him?

I looked at Yuan Gongzi suspiciously.

"It's not him, but who?"

I chuckled.

Yuan Gongzi smiled, "You really don't remember anything after you wake up?" ”

I frowned and glared at him, "Could it be you!" ”

Yuan Gongzi suddenly stretched out his hand and approached my face, wanting to flirt with me.

I turned my head slightly, dodging his hand.

He always likes to be so hands-on.

"Rong'er—" he called me earnestly.

I didn't react for a while, and I didn't get used to this name until I woke up from an injury.

Bai Tao is just the name Ji Yu gave me, but Gao Zhaorong was told by Gao Shouwen, I really can't remember what my name is.

But my heart suddenly remembered that name-Zhu'er

I often have this name in my head, and people often call me that in my dreams, isn't my name Jun'er?

If I am Gao Zhaorong and Rong'er, then who is Huan'er?

Why do people call me this name over and over again?
