Chapter 364: Surveillance
The leading guard waved his hand again and again, [No need, no need. Who knows what you're going to drink when you go in.
[In that case, I won't force it, everyone will go slowly and don't send it! ] Qingling raised his eyes, just in time to meet the gaze of the leading guard. As the personal maid of the prince of Yongyan, the aura on Qingling's body can be imagined, and the words that are obviously threatening are full of confidence that people can't refute.
The leading guards felt the warning in these words, and the hero did not suffer the immediate loss, and waved his hand to let the guards withdraw together. The power contest between the big guys, he doesn't want to be cannon fodder.
That being said, the Wu family's guards don't seem to have given up completely, but are on standby around the corner of the street, and will immediately counterattack if there is something wrong here.
Qingling naturally noticed this, and said to Xia Zhi, who was hesitant, [Since it's rare to come, why don't you go in and drink a cup of hot tea? 】
[Well, okay. Xia Zhi obediently agreed, and followed Qingling into the gate of the long-lost Chengwang Mansion.
Since the last time Luo Ying stabbed Yongmu, Xia Zhi has never come to visit, first, the relationship is awkward and cold, and there is no reason to come to the door, thinking that it has passed the stage of coming to eat with a hippie smile.
In the living room, Qingling personally made tea, and another maid brought a chessboard.
Xia Zhi scratched his head embarrassedly, [Drinking tea and playing chess is nonsense, Sister Qingling, don't make fun of me......]
[Do I look like someone who will make fun of you?] Qingling asked rhetorically, as calm as ever with a watery attitude, it is difficult to guess her emotional ups and downs.
Xia Zhi was not good at abruptly Qingling, who had just rescued her from the tiger's mouth, so she had to drink tea with a smile. Thinking about how long the guards of the Wu family would wait at the door of King Cheng's mansion, or sneak out of the back door.
Qingling didn't have these worries at all, so he set up the chessboard neatly, and put the black and white pieces aside.
Xia Zhi rarely saw Qingling interested in playing chess, where was he embarrassed to refuse, so he forced his spirit to cater to the other party, [But my chess skills are very bad, please be merciful to Sister Qingling's subordinates. 】
[Huh? You shouldn't have said this to me......] Qingling said, looked at the door and stood up, and saluted, [Your Highness! 】
Your Highness? Xia Zhi turned his head violently, and then met the gentle smile of Yongyan, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yongyan was originally smiling gently, but when he saw the summer solstice in tears, he suddenly panicked, [Not so excited, right? Am I scared of you? 】
Xia Zhi hurriedly waved his hand to deny, [No, I turned my head too quickly, and I twisted it to ......] Xia Zhi's painful tears swirled in his eyes.
Yongyan smiled, and hurriedly asked Qingling to help rub it, don't really hurt it.
Xia Zhi's chess skills are not enough to describe a bad word, it can be said to be a beginner, and some subtle rules are still very confusing. Yongyan was patient, and he guided while playing, and he didn't show the slightest suspicion, but had some faintly revealed a little happy mood.
In the final chess game, even if Yongyan gave in again and again, Xia Zhi failed to win against him after all, and admitted defeat convincingly.
[Next game? Yongyan asked.
Xia Zhi looked at the sun that had begun to set in the west, and then compared with Yongyan's still interested expression, he nodded with a smile. She can now be said to be covered by the title of Chengwang Mansion, how dare she not give face.
After half an hour of confrontation, Xia Zhi looked at the chess game with some incredulity, and exclaimed in hindsight, [This, I won?!] That's right? 】
[Uh-huh, there is growth. Yongyan put the chess pieces back in his hand and smiled with relief. Xia Zhi, who is already smart, can get started soon after training. Of course, he also deliberately conceded a few steps, so Xia Zhi had a chance to win a round.
[Hehe, thank you for raising your hand. Of course, Xia Zhi knew that Yongyan was making chess, probably because he was too concerned about his own mood. Sure enough, it's still the gentle jade boy, and it's still the way it looks in my memory.
The two packed up the chessboard, and Yongyan asked, [Why did you have a grudge with the Wu family? Need us to step in? 】
Suddenly cut to the chase, Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, and politely refused, [No need, it should just be a misunderstanding. Moreover, Sister Qingling asked me to come in Chengwang's Mansion in time to relieve the siege, which was already a great help. After the guards of the Wu family and even the old man Wu learned about this relationship, they should not be tough enough to embarrass her anymore. At least there won't be such a tragedy as being tied back as bait.
[Hmm...... If you need help, just ask, and I'll do my best to help if I can. Yongyan gave a promise.
[I made a note of it.] Xia Zhi smiled and thanked him, Yongyan was already touching regardless of his previous suspicions, and offered to help, he was simply a little angel-like existence.
[That...... Do you want to go back to the pomelo orchard? In fact, if you want, you can live in King Cheng's mansion, and it will not restrict your freedom, just like in the pomelo orchard. Yongyan still can't rest assured, after all, Old Man Wu has heard of it, and he can't compete with the other party with Xia Zhi's strength alone.
Xia Zhi got up and said goodbye, [There is still unfinished business in the pomelo garden, so thank you for your kindness. 】
[Since you have decided, I will not force it anymore, but King Cheng's Mansion will always keep a place for you. Yongyan no longer insisted, he didn't want to be embarrassed by the summer solstice, [I'll send you back, right? After all, the vultures outside the door are still hovering in mid-air, so it's good to warn you. 】
It turned out that Yongyan had already conceived these for her, and it would be too unsympathetic to refuse repeatedly, Xia Zhi nodded, [Then trouble you. 】
In the evening, the luxurious carriage was prepared at the gate of King Cheng's mansion, and Xia Zhi, accompanied by the prince Yongyan, walked out of the door openly, boarded the carriage and returned to the pomelo garden. Sure enough, someone probed his brain around the corner of the street, confirmed the situation and left in a hurry. It seems that the effect of this drama has already begun to take effect.
did a full set of plays, and Yongyan really personally sent Xia Zhi back to the pomelo garden. After confirming that no Wu family guards came to the door to find trouble again, Yongyan set off to leave.
Xia Zhi waved vigorously at the carriage that Yongyan was riding, and he had been taken care of by the Chengwang Mansion a lot. Objectively speaking, Chengwangfu is simply the most perfect existence as a shelter. But now the summer solstice can't relax and rely on Yongyan them, from the of Tongxiangyuan, to Chen Huan of the Chen family, and then to Yongyan of Chengwangfu, although there is an obvious progressive relationship, but for the summer solstice, I always feel that there is no essential situation. No matter how good it is to send people under the fence, it is better to have a nest of entrenchment, although it will be relatively difficult for a person, but the joy of gaining a firm foothold is also incomparable. Xia Zhi adheres to this belief, gritting his teeth and persevering.
