Chapter 75: Real People Don't Show Their Faces
Shen Yunyou returned to the room and closed the door, only to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Shen Yunyou strode to the bed and lay down on the bed. Thinking back to the pictures just now, Shen Yunyou patted his cheeks in annoyance, and secretly scolded his crankiness.
Lying alone in the room, the irritability in Shen Yunyou's heart gradually disappeared, and the whole person became calm. After calming himself down as quickly as possible, Shen Yunyou walked out of the room again and appeared in front of Ye Zixuan.
"Are you alright?" Ye Zixuan looked at Shen Yunyou with one hand on his cheek and asked with a smile.
"Originally, there was nothing to do, you thought too much." Shen Yunyou glared at Ye Zixuan fiercely, sat down on the chair with Ye Zixuan's malicious smile, and asked, "When the night Xuan Mo comes, are you sure that you can catch him?" ”
"I'll arrange the manpower, you can rest assured."
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about you." Shen Yunyou shook his head, emphasizing the point of his words. "If you think about it, you know that the Swirl Desert will not fight an unprepared battle. He came, and he definitely won't be alone. There are some of us, and there will be no fewer people who can be indifferent. This is his home base, and we can't forget that, so there's a good chance you'll be the two of you and me dealing with him at night. So...... Are you sure you can keep him from escaping? ”
Shen Yunyou looked at Ye Zixuan intently, although his face was expressionless, but Shen Yunyou's heart couldn't help but be a little excited. Because it is very likely that at night, she can see Ye Zixuan's true strength. This is a very novel thing for Shen Yunyou, who has been watching Ye Zixuan being bullied.
"Who knows......" Ye Zixuan sighed in embarrassment after listening to Shen Yunyou's concerns. But even if you let him run, I think you'll have a way to catch him again, right? ”
"You're looking too highly of me." Shen Yunyou stood up and glanced at Ye Zixuan. "I'm not sure I'll be able to lure such a cunning man over for the second time, so at night, you can do it yourself."
After speaking, Shen Yunyou shrugged his shoulders and went back to the room for a good night's sleep. By the time she woke up comfortably, it was already evening.
If you promise others, you have to do it, even if it is a Hongmen banquet, you have to do it well. Shen Yunyou had already promised Xuan Mo that he would entertain him with good wine and food in the evening, but now there is nothing, it is not like that. So Shen Yunyou had no choice but to drag Ye Zixuan to the place where he and Xuan Mo ate during the day, bought a few dishes and wine, returned to his residence, and waited for Xuan Mo's arrival.
Sure enough, as Shen Yunyou expected, after she and Ye Zixuan had prepared everything, within half an hour, Xuan Mo appeared in front of the two.
"Brother Xuan is really here." Shen Yunyou looked at the Xuan Mo in front of him with a smile and said, "Come into the house, the food is going to be cold." ”
"Miss Shen's invitation, how can Xuan not come?" Xuan Mo politely talked to Shen Yunyou, while looking at his environment without a trace.
The three of them walked into the room and sat down silently at the table. Xuan Mo looked at Shen Yunyou and Ye Zixuan, who were sitting opposite him, and a bad premonition slowly rose in his heart.
As early as during the day, when Xuan Mo heard Shen Yunyou say that she was the daughter of the prime minister, Xuan Mo had already decided not to have anything to do with her anymore. Taking two people to dinner is just a polite gesture. Not for anything else, just for the increasingly exaggerated rumors that have been uploaded in the rivers and lakes recently. Although Xuan Mo didn't have the idea of fighting the dragon chalcedony jade, and it was impossible for these people to know their identity, at this time, someone from the capital came, and he still had to be on guard.
But what Xuan Mo never expected was that this Shen Yunyou actually took the initiative to make a move and revealed his identity to him. After so many years, Shen Yunyou is still the first one who can steal things from his Xuan Mo. Although the jade pendant that was stolen by Shen Yunyou was not a priceless treasure, what Shen Yunyou put on himself was something incredible.
Shen Yunyou not only put a dragon-shaped jade pendant carved with the word "Rui" on his body, but also gave a letter to himself. The letter clearly stated that the jade pendant was the personal treasure of Lord Rui, and it was also a token of engagement with Shen Yunyou and given to Shen Yunyou. I hope that Xuan Mo can return it to Shen Yunyou as soon as possible, so that she will not alarm the people of the court and help her find this jade pendant.
The matter of Shen Yunyou and Prince Rui's marriage is known to the world, and Xuan Mo has heard the news a long time ago. He could have secretly come and throw this jade pendant to Shen Yunyou in the middle of the night. But what makes Xuan Mo even more curious is what kind of medicine is sold in this Shen Yunyou's gourd? What the hell is she doing with this trick? What is she looking for herself? Does she know who she is?
Xuan Mo was eating absentmindedly while constantly thinking about this matter. Shen Yunyou has been observing Xuan Mo's every move, so she naturally saw all of Xuan Mo's demeanor and expression.
Shen Yunyou turned his head lightly and exchanged glances with Ye Zixuan. Seeing that Ye Zixuan nodded slightly, Shen Yun smiled melodiously and opened his mouth.
"Brother Xuan, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Miss Shen has something to do, just ask. If Xuan can help, he will definitely try his best to help you. So......" Xuan Mopi looked at Shen Yunyou without smiling. "So between you and me, there is no need to use any indiscriminate means. If you have something to say, say it. ”
"Good! I just like people like Brother Xuan! Shen Yunyou nodded again and again, appreciating Xuan Mo's attitude. Raising the wine glass in his hand, Shen Yunyou drank the wine in one fell swoop under the surprised gazes of Xuan Mo and Ye Zixuan. Then he continued: "Then since Brother Xuan is so direct, Yun You won't go around in circles with you." Brother Xuan, I want to ask you, did you pick up a dragon-shaped jade pendant during the day today? ”
Shen Yunyou frowned slightly, and after asking the question, when Xuan Mo opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, Shen Yunyou rushed before him and said, "That jade pendant is a very important thing. Brother Xuan should have heard the news that someone wanted to steal the royal family's dragon chalcedony jade recently, right? To tell you the truth, this jade pendant is not only given to Yun You by Prince Rui, but it is also one of the keys that must be used if you want to get the dragon chalcedony jade! If this thing is really lost, then not only Yunyou, but even the entire Xiangfu will lose their heads. Yun You first came here, and he didn't know any other people. So I had to come to Brother Xuan for your help and see if I could help Yun You find the jade pendant. ”
Shen Yunyou's words made Xuan Mo's body startle suddenly. He didn't expect that this jade pendant would have something to do with that dragon chalcedony jade!
"Haha, Miss Shen is really looking for the right person!" Xuan Mo reacted quickly, laughed and took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Shen Yunyou. "Xuan happened to be downstairs in the restaurant where we were eating during the day and picked up this jade pendant. Miss Shen, take a look, is it the one you lost? ”
"Really?!" Shen Yunyou excitedly took the jade pendant in Xuan Mo's hand, but after looking at the candlelight for a while, the smile on Shen Yunyou's face disappeared.
Shen Yunyou stood up, looked at Xuan Mo with a solemn expression, and didn't say anything for a long time. After looking at Xuan Mo a little hairy, Shen Yunyou said coldly: "Although the appearance of this jade pendant is the same as the one I lost, this jade pendant is not the one I lost. Brother Xuan, since you intend to return what I lost, why did you really pay me back? ”
"What do you mean, Miss Shen?" Xuan Mo frowned, and looked at Shen Yunyou puzzled. "What I picked up below is this jade pendant, there's nothing wrong with it!"
"This jade pendant is fake, not real." Shen Yunyou stared sharply at Xuan Mo, "Brother Xuan, this matter is not a joke. If you don't hand over the true jade pendant, then Yun You has no other way. Don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, this thing is really extraordinary. If you really don't want to return the real jade pendant to me, I have to go to the government and ask them to help me with this!" ”
"You're ......!" Shen Yunyou's practice of beating a rake upside down made Xuan Mo quickly understand that this was a trap she designed. Sitting on the chair with a black face, Xuan Mo suddenly got up, turned around and walked towards the door without saying a word. "Don't say much, I don't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door! This jade pendant is the one I picked up, if Miss Shen doesn't believe it, just go to the government! I don't think I have to eat this meal today, Miss Shen, Xuan will leave first! ”
"Wait!"
Xuan Mo had just walked to the door, but a person appeared in front of him in an instant. Xuan Mo reflexively took two steps back, looked at Ye Zixuan who was blocking in front of him, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Obviously, in the blink of an eye, Ye Zixuan was still sitting in the chair without saying a word. Xuan Mo didn't expect that he would have such a good light skill!
And in addition to the Xuan Desert, Shen Yunyou didn't expect that Ye Zixuan would be so real and not show up! Before she could reflect it, and before she could see what was going on, Ye Zixuan had already disappeared from her chair and arrived at the door.
Ye Zixuan ignored the hot gazes of Xuan Mo and Shen Yunyou both looking at him, smiled and looked at Xuan Mo, Ye Zixuan asked softly, "Just leave, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”
"Not suitable? What's the wrong way? ”
"Come as you say, go as you go. What kind of place do you think this is? Your home? Ye Zixuan raised his eyebrows, and said with a wicked smile: "If you don't hand over the real jade pendant, you don't want to leave here." ”
At this point, Xuan Mo also understood that the real goal of Shen Yunyou and the others was himself. No matter how many jade pendants he takes, I'm afraid these two people won't let him go. So Xuan Mo had no choice but to sigh helplessly, ready to talk to the two head-on.
