Chapter 42: The Realm of Heaven
"Miss Jingyi, why didn't His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince come? Two months ago, when we were in the restaurant, he seemed to have said that he would come to celebrate Xiao Lao's birthday today, why don't you see him now? I said to Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family. Since the Fourth Prince of Tang Li relieved me and Jingda in the Qu Palace, I have become more cordial to this Fourth Prince of Tang Li, and I haven't seen him arrive at this time, so I can't help but ask Xiao Jingyi, maybe she knows what news about the Four Princes of Tang Li is not certain!
"Brother Bingyan should be here in a while, don't worry, sir!" The third lady of the Xiao family seemed to be a little surprised when she saw me ask the fourth prince of Tang Li.
"That's it! His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is indeed a good person, and I have a good conversation with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Once Jingda and I went to the Qu Palace to listen to the music, and encountered a little trouble, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince broke the siege in time. "Xiao Jingyi seemed to be very surprised to see me suddenly mention the fourth prince of Tang Li, so I mentioned the matter of coming to Qu Palace to Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family.
"So that's the case, Brother Bingyan is really good, it is indeed a good thing for Mr. Yunxuan to get closer to him, and if you are good friends with Brother Bingyan, Mr. will have a lot of convenience in this imperial city." Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, said, and then seemed to remind: "If Mr. goes to Qu Palace again, it is better to let Mengguang seniors or Guan Zun seniors accompany you, Qu Palace is not a simple place, Mr. Yunxuan, you still have to be careful." "Xiao Jing, the third lady of the Xiao family, listened to what I told her about the Qu Palace, thinking that I had a conflict with the Qu Palace, and even more thought that I didn't bring Meng Guang and Guan Zun at that time, and what she didn't know was that Meng Guang and Guan Zun arrived in the imperial city two months after that incident, so they reminded me like this.
"Miss Jingyi is too worried, it's not that what happened to me and Qu Palace, when I was listening to music in Qu Palace that day, I was suddenly broken into by some young master of the Ming family, and he was also very discouraged by Qu Gong at that time, Qu Gong couldn't persuade him, and he made a fuss, and it happened that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince rushed to relieve the siege." I explained to Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family.
"The Ming family? If the Ming family is concerned, Yun Xuan doesn't have to worry about it at all, with Meng Guang and Guan Zun's predecessors, the Ming family doesn't dare to do anything to the two gentlemen. Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, said, paused and said, "Sir, you see that the fourth person on the upper right on the opposite side is the head of the Ming family." ”
Xiao Jingyi motioned me to look over with his eyes, and I saw a middle-aged man in black robe in his forties in the fourth place on the upper right, this should be the head of the Ming family that Xiao Jingyi said, I also recorded the appearance of this person in my heart, although the matter of the Qu Palace has passed, but maybe there will be some entanglement with the Ming family in the future, and it is also necessary to walk around the imperial city and know these upper-class nobles.
"Mr. Yunxuan, look, I forgot about business while talking to you. My grandfather is in the study and is going to see you and Mr. Hu now, please come with me! Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, seemed to suddenly remember this and hurriedly said.
"See you now?" I wondered.
"Yes, grandpa is waiting for the two of you in the study!" Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, emphasized again.
"Jingda, why don't we go over!" I said to Jingda.
"Let's go!" Jingda replied.
"I'll follow the two gentlemen too!" Guan Zun said. Guan Zun may have followed for the safety of me and Jingda, and I didn't refuse.
"Miss Jingyi, let's go!" I said to Xiao Jingyi.
"Come with me!" Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, walked in front to lead the way for us, and the people around saw that the three of us were being taken by Xiao Jingyi as if they were going somewhere else, and they showed doubts again. After leaving the hall, we crossed another corridor in the left direction, then through a rockery, and then through a shorter corridor, and a row of buildings appeared in front of us, and Xiao Jing, the third lady of the Xiao family, led us into one of the conjoined houses.
"Grandpa is inside, let's go straight in!" In front of the door of a house, Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, said to us.
The three of us followed Xiao Jing into the house, the house was very spacious, there were many books on the rows of bookshelves, and there were some tables and chairs near the inside, an old man with gray hair sat next to a desk, and when he saw us coming in, he also raised his head and looked at us with a smile, I thought that this old man should be the old man of the Xiao family, that is, today's birthday star; There were already many people in the hall where he came to congratulate the old man of the Xiao family on his birthday at this time, but he didn't expect this old man to read leisurely in the study.
"Heaven Creation Realm powerhouse!" When Guan Zun saw the old man of the Xiao family, he immediately exclaimed in a low voice. And I was even more cautious when I heard this, I didn't expect that the old man of the Xiao family was actually a Heaven Creation Realm powerhouse, if the Heaven Creation Realm powerhouse attacked the three of us, Meng Guang would not be an opponent if he was present, let alone Guan Zun.
"Grandpa, I've brought the two gentlemen." As soon as Xiao Jing spoke, she ran to the old man of the Xiao family, hugged the arm of the old man of the Xiao family, and began to sprinkle coquettishness, and the old man of the Xiao family looked doting.
"Girl, you're not afraid of a few guests laughing at you, such a big person still looks like this!" The old man of the Xiao family scolded with a smile.
"Grandpa, come on, I'll introduce you." Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, pulled the old man of the Xiao family to us.
"Girl, I don't need to introduce you. If my guess is correct, this should be the Zu Yunxuan you often mention, and this should be Hu Jingda! "The old man of the Xiao family didn't let Xiao Jingyi introduce him, looked at me and Jingda, and called out my and Jingda's names. And the old man of the Xiao family can distinguish me and Jingda by himself, which must be the appearance characteristics of me and Jingda that the Xiao family told the old man, otherwise it is impossible for the old man of the Xiao family to identify me and Jingda at once.
"I've seen Xiao Lao!" Jingda and I saw that the old man of the Xiao family called out our names, so we saluted the old man of the Xiao family in unison.
"The two of them are really extraordinary, their temperament is elegant, this girl has been mentioning the two to me, I also want to see the two, I heard her say that the two have arrived in the hall of the Xiao family, so I asked this girl to bring the two to meet immediately." The old man of the Xiao family said.
"It's our luck to be able to meet Xiao Lao." I compliment the old man of the Xiao family.
"I don't know who this is? This girl has never mentioned to me that there are two such strong people around her. The elder of the Xiao family turned his head and looked at Guan Zun.
"Oh, Xiao Lao, this is Guan Zun, who follows the two of us on weekdays." I said to the old man of the Xiao family. And motioned to Guan Zun with his eyes to give the old man of the Xiao family a salute.
"I've seen Xiao Lao!" Guan Zun saw my eyes, and he also bowed to the old man of the Xiao family, and said politely.
"The Eight Heavens of the Incarnation Realm are very extraordinary! From this point of view, the true identity of the two is definitely not simple. The old man of the Xiao family said. I also didn't understand what the old man of the Xiao family meant by this, and I began to doubt the identity of me and Jingda.
"Xiao Lao smiled, we are just ordinary civilians!" I said immediately.
"Civilians? Not necessarily, right? The old man of the Xiao family retorted. It is normal for the old man of the Xiao family to say such things, that civilian will be followed by the powerhouse of the Incarnation Realm, obviously this is impossible, I didn't answer again, just quietly pestle on the side.
