Chapter 237
Early the next morning, Guo Mansion.
Luo Fanchen didn't come back all night, and without any news from her, Xiao He felt that things were getting more and more complicated. And there was one thing that bothered Xiao He, that is, Xu Tong inadvertently showed him a wooden token of a red plum blossom, and strangely, this plum blossom had seven petals.
This token was unintentionally picked up by Xu Tong when he fought with the Black Sect Leader, but it reminded him of some past events that he didn't want to recall.
Unconsciously, he walked to the hall of Guo's mansion and saw that Xu Tong and Zhou Xueyan were there, so he stepped forward to say hello.
"Brother Xiao, hasn't your senior brother come back yet?" Xu Tong stepped forward and asked.
Xiao He shook his head, "It's been one night, there has been no news, there shouldn't be something wrong with Fan Chen, right?"
Thinking of this, Xiao He's heart couldn't help but chuckle, this sudden premonition made him startled.
"Xiao Gongzi, since it is the invitation of the county lord, if she really falls in love with Luo Gongzi, she will definitely not be embarrassed for him..."
Xiao He was in a better mood when he heard Zhou Xueyan's analysis, but at this time, Xu Tong's expression changed again and again, as if he couldn't hold back something and couldn't say anything.
"Brother Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it..."
"I think maybe it's a good thing that Brother Luo didn't return overnight..."Xu Tong twisted his mustache, "As the saying goes, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, Brother Luo may be a beauty in his arms, and he can't rest at night... Oops..."
Zhou Xueyan grabbed Xu Tong's big ear again at some point, wrung out a twist, and shouted angrily: "You stinky monkey, you can't spit out any good words, Luo Gongzi doesn't have a flowery intestine like you..."
Xiao He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that these two enemies were fighting again, but at the same time, he thought that with Luo Fanchen's character, he would definitely not do anything indecent, so what happened when she didn't return overnight?
"It seems that let's go to the Xianwang Mansion to find out..."Xiao He couldn't help it.
At this time, Xiao Shi hurriedly walked in and bowed to several people:
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a woman in white in front of Guo's mansion, saying that she is from the Xianwang Mansion, and she wants to find Xiao Gongzi, saying that she has something important to do, and my wife is out because of something, so the villain does not dare to invite her into the mansion, and there is still Lao Xiao Gongzi going out?..."
"Is it someone from the Xianwang Mansion?" Xiao He's eyes widened slightly, and then turned to face Xu Tong and Zhou Xueyan, "Brother Xu, Sister Xueyan, you two should rest here, I'll go out and have a look..."
Xu Tong and Zhou Xueyan nodded, watching Xiao He hurriedly follow Xiao Shi out of the hall.
As soon as he walked out of Guo's mansion, a woman in white appeared in front of Xiao He, and her face was so familiar.
"You... Are you... Bai Gongzi ?..." Xiao He couldn't help asking.
"The little girl's name is Bai Yu, she is the maid of the county lord of Wenyang in the Xianwang Mansion, and the white prince of that day is me..."Bai Yu gave Xiao He a slight salute, "Luo Gongzi met with my county lord last night, and there was some accident in the middle, the county lord hereby asks me to tell Xiao Gongzi..."
"What, what is the accident of Fanchen, you hurry up..."Xiao He looked very anxious.
Bai Yu was urged by Xiao He like this, her expression became panicked, she told Xiao He what happened last night, but intentionally or unintentionally omitted some details.
"In this way, Fan Chen was kidnapped by your prince?..."
Xiao He understood the whole story, and although his heart was full of excitement, he still tried his best to stay calm.
"But... So to speak... Xiao Gongzi, you don't have to be too anxious, my young lady asked me to inform you, she will definitely find a way to release Luo Gongzi..."
Xiao He sensed Bai Yu's dodging gaze, and knew that Luo Fanchen's situation at this time was very dangerous, and I was afraid that it could not be solved by the county lord in a sentence or two.
"Xiao Gongzi, I also took the risk to report to you... It's not early, I have to go back home as soon as possible, and I hope that Xiao Gongzi will understand..."
Bai Yu said, and without waiting for Xiao He to respond, he hurriedly turned around and left, presumably afraid of the eyes and ears of the Xianwang Mansion.
"Fan Chen was also imprisoned by King Xian, this is a big deal... Long'er, Zhou Wenqing, Fanchen... These three people have been imprisoned by this prince one after another, and it seems that he is really a hard stubble..."
Xiao He thought so, unconsciously clenched his fists, and his brows were also furrowed.
As the younger brother of today's son, this virtuous king can be described as a monstrous force, Luo Fanchen was caught red-handed by him when he met with the county lord, what crime would he be dealt with? As soon as he thought of this, Xiao He's heart was even more bottomless.
At this moment, someone called Xiao He and pulled him back from his contemplation. Xiao He fixed his eyes and saw that it was Master Guo Xiguo, and there was a young man dressed as a scholar standing beside him.
"Lord Guo, are you back?..." Xiao He responded, but his eyes looked at the young man.
"Xiao He, you are standing in front of the gate, your brows are twisted, is there any difficulty?...
"Uh... Lord Guo, let's go back to the house and talk about it..."Xiao He made a gesture of please as he spoke.
Guo Xi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, he smiled at the young scholar, "Lu Tanhua, this is Xiao He, a real person from the Shushan faction... Let's go inside?..."
The young scholar bowed to Xiao He, "Little student Lu Yansheng, fortunately..."
This scholar signed up for himself, Xiao He's heart moved, where did he seem to have seen the name Lu Yansheng, where was it?
The three of them walked into the hall of Guo's mansion together, and saw Xu Tong and Zhou Xueyan, who had been waiting for a long time, and Xiao He told a few people about the matter.
Xu Tong and Zhou Xueyan obviously didn't expect things to develop like this, and they couldn't help but sigh again and again, Zhou Wenqing didn't save them, but let Luo Fanchen also get in, and both of them had some shame on their faces.
Guo Xi slowly sat down in his seat and thought for a while, "The plan now is to rescue the three of them as soon as possible... I've always been at odds with the Virtuous King, and I'm afraid it will backfire if I intervene... By the way, Lu Tanhua, I remember that after you won the list, it was rumored that the Xian King had also enveloped you, is there such a thing?..."
Lu Yansheng was originally out of the matter, with a calm face, but he didn't expect Guo Xi to suddenly ask himself, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "There is such a thing... But the students have always admired Master Guo's style of not forming a party and not engaging in selfishness, so they refused..."
Guo Xi's eyes lit up, "Lu Tanhua, do you know that the virtuous king didn't want to win over the top of the imperial list, but insisted on encircling you, why?..."
Guo Xi asked, and several people's eyes couldn't help but stare at Lu Yansheng's body, making him very uncomfortable.
Lu Yansheng shook his head slowly, looking puzzled. He originally thought that King Na Xian was interested in making friends because he liked his talent, but what Guo Xi said was also reasonable, if you want to talk about talent, then Zhuangyuanlang is even better than him, why did he choose himself alone?
Guo Xi smiled knowingly, stood up, and paced back and forth, "King Xian, his favorite calligraphy and painting in his life, especially the treasures of famous artists... I also heard about Wenqing's detention that week, and in the final analysis, it was he who angered King Xian with a picture of Zhang Daozi's 'Autumn Mountain'... Just imagine, with the temperament of King Xian, would he tolerate others having an identical painting in their hands? Let's not talk about whether Zhou Wenqing's painting is real or fake, his tough attitude has already committed a big taboo..."
Lu Yansheng listened to Guo Xi's analysis, his eyes widened more and more, he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of some other things in his heart, and finally there was no exit.
"Lu Tanhua, I guess I don't say that you also know why King Xian wants to befriend you, right? You are Zhang Daozi's Guanshan disciple, he wants your relationship... One more thing, you know better..."
Lu Yansheng sighed and took Guo Xi's words, "Shizun's paintings, Xiaosheng is the most familiar, as long as I nod, no one else will question the authenticity of the paintings..."
Zhou Xueyan stepped forward and asked with joy on her face:
"Since Gongzi Lu is Zhang Daozi's high-ranking disciple, can he avenge my eldest brother? I know my eldest brother's personality very well, he will not tell lies..."
Lu Yansheng took a step back and shook his hand again and again, "Lu Yansheng just entered the Huan Sea, but he doesn't want to wade into this pool of troubled waters... Xiaosheng admires the character of Master Guo, so he was invited to come here to take a rest, and Xiaosheng can't control the next things..."
Zhou Xueyan's face was a little ugly, and the hope that had just risen was extinguished because of Lu Yansheng's refusal.
And Xu Tong rolled his eyes, pulled Lu Yansheng over, and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Xu, this is also a matter of one sentence, one sentence can save a life... Do you think about it?"
Lu Yansheng hurriedly shook off Xu Tong's hand, and bowed to Guo Xi with a panicked expression: "Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng has other things to do, so I'm leaving... Lord Guo, goodbye..."
Lu Yansheng said, turned around and was about to leave, at this moment, a figure flashed and blocked in front of him, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Xiao He.
"Lu Tanhua, I am also your supporter in secret, it's good to give face?...
Xiao He said, took out a book from his arms, and there were four big words written on the cover of this book: "Exploring Yin and Supplementing Yang".
When Lu Yansheng saw this book, his eyes immediately widened, and he almost screamed, and his body kept trembling: "You... Why did you have this book?...
