Chapter 1317 Teasing
"Temple...... Your Highness?" the family said this, his face was surprised and dazed, and he couldn't figure out which His Highness was coming. γγ
"A fang must not be rude. Shangguan Xiu dismounted, came to the front of Jiading, waved his hand to Guangfang, signaled him to let go of Jiading, and then he said: "Fengguo, Shangguan Xiu." β
The body of the family member kneeling on the ground suddenly trembled, his face was pale, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Shangguan Xiu stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and said softly: "Trouble this little brother, go back to the house and talk to Mr. Lu, just say that Shangguan Xiu wants to see him." β
"This ...... Be...... Yes, Your Highness!" the family agreed in a daze, and was stunned for a moment before running into the courtyard in a hurry.
Standing outside the gate of the courtyard, Shangguan Xiu looked around, the environment here is very elegant, surrounded by mountains, but the mountains are not high, green, quiet and chic.
After a short time, the family who had just entered the hospital ran out, and there was an elderly housekeeper who came out with him.
The housekeeper walked quickly to Shangguan Xiu's approach, bowed to the ground, and said: "In Xia Lu Qing, it is the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, I don't know that His Royal Highness the Duke of the Wind Country is coming, the villain has lost his welcome, please forgive His Highness!"
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to the butler and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Lu can meet guests now?"
"My lord is taking a nap, I don't see any guests, and I look at His Royal Highness Haihan. β
Hearing this, Guangfang's eyebrows immediately raised, and he was furious, Brother Xiu came to visit in person, but he didn't see Lu Zhiheng because he was taking a nap at noon, which was too much for no one!
He walked over to the housekeeper with a step, and it seemed that he was about to move roughly, Shangguan Xiu reached out to hold him, shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient." He turned to the butler and said, "Can I wait in the courtyard?"
The housekeeper hurriedly waved his hand, looked behind Shangguan Xiu, and said: "The master has always disliked soldiers entering the house, saying that the blood is too heavy, which is detrimental to the fragrance of books and beauty. What's more, it usually takes more than two hours for the lord to take a lunch break, and it is really unpleasant to let His Highness wait for so long, so His Highness should come back another day!"
The meaning of the refusal was already obvious, but Shangguan Xiu didn't understand it, he said with a smile: "Since Mr. Lu is taking a nap, I can wait in the courtyard, and the soldiers have a lot of blood and energy, so let the soldiers of our army wait outside." β
"This ......"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Does the housekeeper think that I am more noble or more bloody?" The implication is that his status as a prince is greater, or is his identity as a general.
The butler bowed, waved his hand and said, "The villain doesn't dare to be presumptuous, Your Highness, please." β
Shangguan Xiu smiled, left Guangfang and the others, and walked into the courtyard.
Bypass a decorative rockery in front of the door, suddenly open up in front of you, the yard is not big, but it is very elegantly arranged, the road is paved with pebbles, there are some flowers and plants on both sides, in the yard, a small fish pond is dug out, and there are a lot of koi fish in it.
Next to the fish pond, the stone table and stone bench are arranged, Shangguan Xiu stepped forward and looked down, there is a chessboard carved on the stone table, and there is a game of unfinished endgame on it.
Shangguan Xiu looked at the chess game on the stone table and slowly sat down on the stone bench. I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps next to him, Shangguan Xiu turned his head and saw that it was the housekeeper who came over with a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, please have tea. β
"Thank you!" Shangguan Xiu nodded, took the teacup, and his eyes fell on the chessboard again, drinking the tea absentmindedly, as if he had no intention of being wary.
The housekeeper couldn't help but look at Shangguan Xiu twice, before he saw Shangguan Xiu, he thought that Shangguan Xiu was a rude and irritable person, at least he should be a murderous and vicious appearance.
But now that I see Shangguan Xiu, I feel that he is completely different from the impression in his heart, young and handsome, gentle and elegant, without the frame of a prince of a country, let alone arrogance and arrogance.
Just standing by his side, people will naturally feel a strong oppressive force, unconsciously tense their nerves, and deal with it carefully.
"Butler!"
"The villain is here. β
"Who is playing against in this game of chess?"
"Returning to His Royal Highness, the one who holds the black flag is my master. β
"So, what about the bearer of the white flag?"
"It's Mr. Lin. β
"Mr. Lin?"
"Mr. Lin Yilin. β
Shangguan Xiu put down the teacup in his hand and turned his head to look at the housekeeper. The housekeeper explained: "Mr. Lin is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the master. β
"Mr. Lin is in the house?"
"Mr. Lin is gone. β
"Oh. Shangguan Xiu didn't ask any more questions, and his eyes fell back to the chess game. The housekeeper asked curiously, "His Royal Highness also likes black and white things?" Shangguan Xiu smiled: "I understand a little." β
He is really not humble in what he says, Shangguan Xiu's chess skills are indeed not good, and he has no time to cultivate his chess skills, and occasionally in his spare time, at best, he plays chess with Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, but the chess skills of the two are not as good as him.
The housekeeper smiled: "Your Highness is too modest." β
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, pointed to the chess game, and said: "I can't see how exquisite Mr. Lu and Mr. Lin's chess skills are, but I can still see one or two about the trend of the chess game." The sunspot is sharp and domineering, and wants to swallow the white dragon's 'big dragon' in one bite, the white son seems to be retreating step by step, but in fact, he has already laid out a lot of mysteries, even if the black son finally swallows the white dragon, it is a big loss itself, so it seems that the victory or defeat has been decided, and the chess game is very clear, but the final win or loss is not yet known!"
In this chess game, Shangguan Xiu seems to see the trend of the Wind Country and Ningnan, the Wind Country wants to annex Ningnan, why not the big dragon that the sunspot wants to eat the white son.
The housekeeper looked at Shangguan Xiu meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's discerning eyes, the dragon and phoenix in the world, the villain will retire first." β
Shangguan Xiu bowed to the housekeeper.
Time passed minute by minute, and Shangguan Xiu was in the courtyard for more than an hour, but Lu Zhiheng had no intention of coming out to meet guests. Shangguan Xiu still had the patience to continue waiting, but Guangfang and the others outside really didn't have the patience to continue waiting.
With a noisy sound, Guangfang, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei broke in from the outside.
When Shangguan Xiu approached, Guangfang shouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xiu, Lu Zhiheng, this old thing is too deceitful, Brother Xiu treats him politely, but he also picked up Qiao, Brother Xiu, I don't think we have to wait any longer, go in directly and settle accounts with the old horseman!"
The latter held the sword under his rib and shouted coldly: "Whoever dares to step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!" The two family members turned pale and took a step back in unison.
Guangfang was about to go up the steps, and Shangguan Xiu said, "Fang!"
"Brother Xiu?"
Shangguan Xiu beckoned to him, but Guangfang was helpless and retreated to Shangguan Xiu's side. At this time, the butler also hurriedly ran over and asked puzzledly, "Your Royal Highness Guogong, ...... this?"
"Your Highness has been waiting for almost two hours, and Lu Zhiheng is still taking a lunch break now?" Guang Fang asked with a glare.
"The master is no longer at home now. β
"What?" Guangfang was so angry that his hair was open, and even Shangguan Xiu, who could calm down, frowned slightly when he heard this. Guangfang held the hilt of the sword tightly and said in a condensed voice, "Where did Lu Zhiheng go?"
"Small...... The small ones are not clear either. β
"Full of nonsense, are you really waiting for me to be bullied?"
"The master was originally resting in the room at noon, but when the villain entered the house later, the lord was no longer there, as for when the lord left and where he went, the villain really doesn't know!"
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"The villain also just found out. β
Guangfang's eyes were on fire, and he turned his head to Shangguan Xiu and said: "Brother Xiu, I think Lu Zhiheng is playing with us with pure intentions, since this is the case, we don't have to be polite anymore, it's better to ...... them all."
The housekeeper hurriedly took out a note from his cuff, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "This is left by the master before leaving, please take a look at His Royal Highness Guogong!"
Shangguan Xiu looked at the note handed by the housekeeper, hesitated for a moment, but still took it and looked down. The note is not big, and there is not much handwriting in it, so I read it after a glance. After reading this note, Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, then he smiled indifferently, shook his head, and said, "Since Mr. Lu doesn't want to see me, it's okay, I'll come to visit again if I have a chance another day." As he spoke, he shook his head at Guangfang, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei, and walked out.
Before Guangfang and the others could answer, the housekeeper had already bowed down and saluted: "The villain sends His Royal Highness Guogong!"
Guangfang glared at the butler fiercely and chased after him angrily. Outside the Lu Mansion, Guangfang asked curiously, "Brother Xiu, what did Lu Zhiheng's old puppet say on the note?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and handed the note in his hand to Guangfang.
The latter took it, looked at it with a big mouth, and handed the note to Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei with a blank expression, and he asked, "What does Lu Zhiheng mean by leaving such a note, is he praising us or scolding us?"
"Fang, what do you think?"
"I ...... I don't know, these literati are too good at talking. β
Wu Yufei lowered his head and looked at the note carefully, and there was only a few sentences on it: Abuse of force is only strong, and only when force is restrained is it strong.
After watching it, Wu Yufei also smiled, pondered for a while, and said, "This Lu Zhiheng is quite interesting." He obviously teased Brother Xiu, but he still had to leave a note to remind Brother Xiu not to be annoyed by being teased, otherwise, if he hurts innocent people in Lu Mansion, he is a martial artist with developed limbs and a simple mind. β
Xiao Jue was also happy and said: "This is only the superficial meaning, and the deeper meaning is that our country should not annex Ningnan by force, but should rule with benevolence and virtue, and naturally merge Ningnan." β
"Huh?" Guangfang listened with a blank face, just such a sentence, there are so many layers of meaning? He shook his head again and again, and muttered: "Brother Xiu is right, literati are indeed hypocritical, and their bodies are full of sour and rotten. β
Shangguan Xiu smiled and didn't say much. When he came to Lu Mansion this time, although he didn't see Lu Zhiheng, Lu Zhiheng's intentions had been clearly expressed to him, he would not attach himself to the Wind Country, he would not stand on the side of the Wind Country, and he would not do anything for the Wind Country.
"Brother Xiu, this note ......" Wu Yufei raised the note in his hand and asked Shangguan Xiu what to do with it.
"Tear it up. Shangguan Xiu didn't look at it, and said indifferently.
The group returned to the garrison of the Wind Army, and it was already evening, and there were several backlogs of reports in the tent of the Chinese army, all describing the movements of the 13th Army.
At present, the 13th Army Corps has turned around and is heading in the direction of Yancheng, and according to the time calculation, it will arrive at Yancheng by early tomorrow morning at the latest.
Although there are only 20,000 soldiers on the side of the Wind Army, there is nothing to fear against the Thirteenth Legion, and the Wind Army is well prepared near Yancheng and waits for the arrival of the Thirteenth Legion.
At night, Shangguan Xiu was reading a book in the sleeping tent, and a soldier came in to report: "Your Highness, there is a scholar surnamed Lin outside the camp who asks to see you." β
Shangguan Xiu, a scholar surnamed Lin, didn't remember that he knew such a person, so he asked, "What's the name of the person who came?"
"It's called Lin Yi. β
Lin Yi? Isn't that Lu Zhiheng's student? Today in the Lu Mansion, he also pondered the endgame between Lu Zhiheng and Lin Yi for a long time. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Please!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" the soldier replied and turned to leave.
After a while, the soldiers brought in a white-clothed scholar from outside.
This person is not very old, he looks like he is in his twenties, he is thin, handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand, he is polite and graceful, giving people an elegant and peaceful atmosphere.
"Your Excellency is Mr. Lu's senior apprentice, Mr. Lin Yilin?" Shangguan Xiu asked without raising his head as he looked at the scroll in his hand. Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience.
