Xu Shuo, who was rumored to hate businessmen very much, did not give them a look as expected, and as soon as the spread was completed, he himself came to greet them.

Xu Shuo is approaching half a hundred this year, but he looks only in his thirties, he can't see a single white hair in his meticulously tied bun, his eyes are bright, and there seems to be a persecuting light in him all the time.

He wasn't very tall, but when he stood there with his hands behind his back, he immediately made others feel that he was a little shorter.

Shangguan Li squinted carefully, and saw a bit of the temperament of a middle-aged handsome guy from this person.

Xuanyuan Ye seemed to know what she was looking at, and pulled her arm and shook it, smiling faintly.

"Your Excellency the Doge."

Shangguan Li was originally an "insider", but in fact, he didn't have to salute, and if he wanted to do it, he would do it to Xu Shuo and his wife, but he was so pulled by him that he had to follow and salute.

There is a deep furrow between Xu Shuo's two thick eyebrows, and at first glance he is a person who often frowns, and this moment is no exception, he habitually raises his eyebrows.

"Why are you two here together?"

Before Shangguan Li could speak, he saw Xuanyuan Ye smile faintly.

"Madame is no different from me for me, please forgive me."

Although he knew that what he said was pure nonsense, Shangguan Li was still disgusted by this sudden meaty remark.

Xu Shuo didn't know why, but after hearing these words, his expression softened a little and nodded slightly.

"The one who comes is a guest, two of you come in first."

Shangguan Li, who was following him, threw a puzzled look at Xuanyuan Ye: What's the matter, didn't Xu Shuo say that he didn't like businessmen?

Xuanyuan Ye moved his mouth, and the sound flowed into Shangguan Li's ears.

"Maybe it's because I look very relatable."

So Shangguan Li understood, and he didn't know.

The City Lord's Mansion sounds tall and magnificent, but if you really walk in, you will find that it is a boxy courtyard, and it is all black, white and gray tiles.

Except for the larger area, it is completely impossible to see that its owner is the second person in the land of the three states - the first is of course the emperor, although he may not have paid attention to it so far.

Xu Shuo walked through the courtyard with two people, and Shangguan Li found that there was a rather large martial arts arena behind the courtyard.

The four corners are lined with white-bellied red drums, and there are rows of weapon racks standing around them, the outside of which is supposed to be a place for practicing horse archery, and in the middle is a lush grass field, and a row of targets is erected in the direction away from the courtyard.

When Shangguan Li and the others came in, an arrow broke through the air and landed firmly on the target, but according to Shangguan Li's visual inspection, it was still two centimeters away from the center.

"Smoke, it's off!"

Xu Shuo suddenly snorted softly.

"Bow here."

A bow wrapped in blue thread flew from the opposite direction of the target, Xu Shuo reached out to catch it, and then he didn't see it, turned sideways slightly, his fingers were loose, and the arrows with iron tips left the string, hitting the bull's-eye.

"Good!"

There was a burst of applause from under the wall, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

"Daddy is really amazing!"

The refreshing and neat voice came from afar, and someone on the other side of the martial arts field galloped over on horseback.

So it seemed that it was only a few breaths, and the horse arrived in front of him, and just when he was about to stop in front of Xu Shuo, he suddenly turned a corner again, and brushed the corners of Shangguan Li and Xuanyuan Ye's clothes in a dangerous and dangerous posture.

"Smoke, don't be rude!"

Although Xu Shuo said this, his tone was not reproachful, at least compared to his face that seemed to owe him money, it was almost gentle.

"Got it, got it."

With the woman's impatient voice, a man in a light blue suit jumped off his horse.

She looks really handsome, with long eyebrows like daisies, eyes like water, and a high nose bridge that adds a few strokes of depth to her whole face.

Obviously, if you just look at her facial features, she is a standard Jiangnan woman, but she seems to have a high-flying and domineering temperament, which makes her whole person dazzling.

"Dad, don't you make me lose face when you have to show your hands like this in front of my friends every time?"

"Nonsense, and your friends ......"

The two people who were left to hang on the side were very thick-skinned, not only were they not frightened by the "accidental" horse that was a little out of control just now, but they were not embarrassed at all at the moment.

Shangguan Li also poked Xuanyuan Ye's chest silently, but Xuanyuan Ye understood what she meant, and he used the kind of kung fu similar to "sound transmission into secret".

"I don't know what's going on, but I guess Xu Shuo should have misunderstood our intentions."

In order to avoid being noticed, Xuanyuan Ye lowered his head slightly, and a silent smile rolled up around his eyes.

"In case something happens later, the county lord remembers to protect me."

Shangguan Li directly ignored this sentence, and said in his heart that this kind of secret technique is really convenient, and one day he will have to find a way to get some relevant information from Xuanyuan Ye.

The two have experienced this silent exchange, so the father and daughter, who have been talking back and forth for a long time, seem to finally remember that there are guests by their side.

It was the daughter who noticed it first and turned around.

"The two of you are also guests because of that incident, I'm sorry, I'm slacking, oh, my name is Xu Fengyan."

She smiled heartily, revealing a cute tiger tooth on her right. Normal people will let down their guard when they see such a smile, and they feel that this girl is kind from the bottom of their hearts.

But Shangguan Li and Xuanyuan Ye are not normal people, Shangguan Li will not say it first, her identity is not suitable for speaking on this occasion, and Xuanyuan Ye's tone is very obviously alienated and cold.

"Hello Miss Xu."

Xu Fengyan raised her eyebrows, after all, she was young, and most of the people around her were hot faces, and when she suddenly encountered this attitude, the smile on her face was a little untensed.

But she also knew that this was her father's guest, so she just smiled unnaturally, then snatched the bow from Xu Shuo's hand and turned back.

After she left, Xu Shuo said slowly.

"Mr. Bai, show my daughter's face in front of me, are you here to find fault today?"

Xuanyuan Ye hadn't heard anyone dare to talk to him like this for a long time, and Shangguan Li didn't count. However, he was not angry, and played his identity as a "white art" perfectly.

Hearing this, he shook his head and did not back down.

"I don't think adults are the kind of people who would spoil their daughters."

These words were a bit-for-tat, but Xu Shuo's face softened, and he finally looked at this legendary rich businessman.
