Chapter 505: "Rival in Love"
"Isn't it just a rich businessman who is a little richer and a little arrogant, and as for making you care so much, he still sent a secret guard to investigate?"
The guard in front of him had just disappeared, and Cui Shuwang, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.
It's just that all the complaints were swallowed back by themselves under the cold eyes of the other party's dead man: "Ah, okay, okay, when I didn't ask, I didn't ask." ”
As he spoke, the man beside him had already withdrawn his gaze, leaving him alone and walking forward.
Uncle Cui's mouth opened, then slowly closed again, and sighed silently.
Some people are really getting harder and harder to understand, harder than a mussel shell to pry their mouths open! -
When the two of them came to the agreed restaurant and were taken to the second floor by Xiao Er, they happened to hear Xing Qige warmly inviting Bai Muzhi to the Thorn History Mansion as a guest.
Cui Shuwang originally wanted to say hello for a moment, his eyes subconsciously looked at the man next to him, and then he was severely suppressed by the cold expression on Xiao Yinhan's face.
No, he really ......
Xiao Yinhan didn't see Cui Shuwang's expression, so he naturally didn't know what strange things this guy with a big brain had made up in his brain.
He stared at Xing Qige because he recognized the person not far away at first glance as the person he had seen in his dream.
Xing Qige, Xingdu Lieutenant, Huai'an Assassin Shi's son-in-law.
In that dream, after the assassination Shi died unexpectedly while dealing with the flood, the entire Huai'an Mansion temporarily fell under the control of this person.
And because of his father's death and the huge pressure of dealing with the floods, he became very extreme and stubborn, but he was only full of dependence on the woman who was always by his side and gave him warmth.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yinhan's cold and dark eyes finally fell a little on Bai Muzhi, who was talking to Xing Qige.
Because of Bai Muzhi, Xing Qige is full of vigilance and defense against "him" in his dreams, and even hatred.
There have been countless conflicts between the two because of her and because of official business.
As soon as he saw this face, the resentment and anger in the dream seemed to have awakened, and the already terrifying momentum on Xiao Yinhan's body became more and more cold and terrifying, which was because of this, which caused misunderstanding among others.
Xiao Yinhan slowed down his breathing and forcibly suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart trying to control his reason.
Just when Cui Shuwang was trying to appease someone and let someone not be too outrageous, the person who worried him regained his composure first, and even walked over before he could react.
"The house has already arranged the guest rooms in advance, and they are waiting for you...... What are you looking at? ”
Xing Qige, who was originally speaking, noticed the woman's gaze shifting for the first time, and seemed to be attracted by something.
He subconsciously followed and looked over.
Then they saw a handsome and gloomy tall man walking towards them with a strong oppressive force.
He subconsciously sat up straight, and his muscles became tense and vigilant for the first time.
With a keen intuition, Xing Qige noticed a strong sense of crisis brought by this person when he saw Xiao Yinhan for the first time.
"You're back?"
Xiao Yinhan stood at the table of the two, but did not speak, a pair of sharp eyes only looked at Xing Qige, making Bai Muzhi, who was talking to him as soon as he saw him, look inexplicably embarrassed.
The atmosphere condensed for a moment, and no one spoke first.
Uncle Cui, who was one step behind, sighed silently, walked over with a gentle smile, and took the initiative to break the suffocating atmosphere: "Sister Bai, who is this son?" ”
Today's Xing Qige rarely does not wear an official uniform, even if he is wearing a low-key and comfortable azure cloud pattern brocade robe, he is too upright and outstanding, and he still has the momentum of being in the army.
Bai Muzhi came back to his senses: "This is the friend I told you, Xing Qige, Xing Du Lieutenant." ”
After speaking, he looked at Xing Qige and was about to introduce: "They are ......"
Xing Qige had already gotten up and clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness King Rong, but I didn't know that His Highness had arrived, and I missed the welcome, please atone for my sins!" ”
Xiao Yinhan's emotions in his eyes were dim, and for a while, it was impossible to see whether he was angry or not: "Do you know this king?" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was regarded as acknowledging his identity in Huai'an Mansion.
Xing Qige breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, but his eyes turned down and consciously avoided the man's gaze: "A few years ago, the late general went to Beijing with Lord Shi to report on his work, and he was fortunate to see the prince in the court. ”
Xiao Yinhan didn't react, he already knew about it.
Not only that, but he also knew that the "meeting" was not very glorious, and at that time he was reprimanded by hundreds of officials in the court because he had done something "big".
"Sit down."
He didn't say anything more, and after sitting down in his robe, he greeted the other two in a faint voice, and the momentum of the superior was fully displayed.
Xing Qige had a strange feeling, but he couldn't say it for a while, but the prince gave the order, and he sat down after he couldn't excuse himself.
However, Cui Shuwang on the side stayed on the side for a while because he couldn't understand what medicine was sold in someone's gourd, and only then did he come back to his senses and sit down when Xing Qige opened his mouth to ask.
As soon as the person sat down, Xing Qige continued the topic just now, and this time it was not Bai Muzhi who was invited, but Xiao Yinhan and Cui Shuwang.
“…… My father didn't know that the prince had come to Huai'an, and if he couldn't entertain him well, he would definitely blame me. ”
Xiao Yinhan looked thoughtfully at the young man in front of him who was obviously unskilled but was still trying to enter the business state, his youthful attitude was similar to that in his dream.
But it's normal to think about it, now the Huai'an flood has not happened, and the torture history is still alive, and there is no hatred for him as a mortal enemy.
"No, if you don't go, you won't go, you don't need to be so angry, right?"
Hearing Cui Shuwang's reminder, Xiao Yinhan realized that he unconsciously showed a sneer, which made the immature young lieutenant unbearable.
"You're thinking too much, this king just thinks of something else."
Xiao Yinhan glanced at Uncle Cui lightly, then looked at Xing Qige, and calmly refused: "This king has official business on this trip, and when the matter is completed, he will personally visit the Assassin's Mansion." ”
Xing Qige may be really young now, after Wang Rong explained, his expression naturally did not seem to be fake, and with Uncle Cui looking sleek on the side, the embarrassment just now was revealed.
But......
Xing Qige glanced at the girl in white, who had not been talking since the beginning, and regretted it in her heart.
He knew that if these two didn't go to the Assassin Mansion, Miss Bai would naturally not go.
When Xing Qige was about to get up and say goodbye, Xiao Yinhan, who thought that he would not be able to keep his mouth, opened his mouth:
"The criminal captain has lived in Huai'an for a long time, have you heard of Boss Jiang?"
Xing Qige's buttocks, which were already half-out of his seat, pasted it back again after hearing the words "Boss Jiang".
"Why did the prince say this? Do you know her? ”
Xing Qige's brows furrowed unconsciously when he spoke, and there was a nervousness on his face that he didn't even notice.
Xiao Yinhan saw it in his eyes, and when he had a guess, he didn't answer, just handed it over with a look.
Cui Shuwang, who was sitting lazily on the side, understood what he meant in an instant: You answer.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: What? Am I the eunuch by your side? You have a look at Lao Tzu who is going to give you the words to complete?
For a moment, he scolded in his heart, some people are really, more and more able to pretend!
He already had a smile on his lips and entered the state.
"Listen to me, here's how it happened......"
Compared with Xiao Yinhan's coldness and intimidation, Cui Shuwang's attitude is much more gentle and sincere, plus his personality is good, and his friends talk in general, first he sincerely appreciated the current situation of the people of Huai'an Mansion who have seen them living and working in peace and contentment along the way, and praised the proper management of the history of torture and assassination, which is admirable.
Then he mentioned the incident of "Boss Jiang's carriage hitting someone" by chance on the road.
“…… The servant's behavior showed the master's character, and the coachman himself was almost injured and ruined, but he was not angry, but cared about the old man who rushed out...... We thought it was a bit interesting, so we were a little curious. ”
Uncle Cui felt that he was very normal in his words, but as soon as he said it, the two people in front of him changed their faces.
He was a little puzzled and looked at Xiao Yinhan: What's wrong? What did I say wrong?
Then the guy who had never been in charge of killing or burying directly looked away and ignored him at all.
Cui Shuwang: Hard-it's up! The fist is hard!
I shouldn't have taken this stubble just now!
Bai Muzhi thought of the fact that she had asked people to drive away the woman outside just now, and the emotions that she had finally forgotten were reminded again, and she was a little uncomfortable.
And Xing Qige thought of the shopkeeper's words, and his face was not very good.
couldn't count on Xiao Yinhan, Cui Shuwang had to ask embarrassedly: "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”
"No, no problem."
Xing Qige shook his head and regained his strength to answer the other party's words: "Actually, this Boss Jiang, we are not very strong. She suddenly appeared half a year ago, and her identity and background are a mystery, even if I ......"
"Half a year ago?" The deep male voice seemed to have a cold air, and it was inserted abruptly from the side.
Xing Qige subconsciously looked at Xiao Yinhan, and was almost stung by the other party's ice needle-like eyes.
The breathing was inexplicably tight, and the vigilance that had dissipated returned: "Yes." It was half a year ago. ”
Then he went on to talk about the various outrageous behaviors of "Boss Jiang" in Huai'an Mansion in the past six months.
As the son of the assassin, he knows more and more about nature than ordinary people.
And as he spoke, several people present, except for Xiao Yinhan, who still maintained his expressionless ice cube face, did not change, but the other two were obviously stimulated.
Even Cui Shuwang, who was born in a family, couldn't help but speak: "She, she's really a loser!" Who can afford this? ”
Bai Muzhi didn't know why, although he hadn't met this "Boss Jiang", just listening to what he did made people inexplicably uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but say: "This kind of high-profile and flamboyant person, there are only a lot of confidants around him, right?" ”
As soon as the words came out, the table suddenly fell silent, and several pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time.
Bai Muzhi's heart jumped inexplicably: "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”
Xing Qige's throat moved, and he explained to her a little dryly: "Miss Bai doesn't know something, but in fact, Boss Jiang ...... It's a woman. ”
"Woman?" Bai Muzhi was really surprised, and blurted out: "How can a woman show her face like this, and her family doesn't care about her?" ”
The table was quiet again,
As if realizing that his reaction was too great, Bai Muzhi pursed his lips: "I just felt a little surprised." This world is already harsh on women, and if her profligate behavior spreads, it will only attract more prejudice against women in the world. ”
There is nothing wrong with hearing this, but Xing Qige is a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously refutes:
Although she is a little more high-profile, she has never done anything hurtful. On the contrary, since she came to Huai'an Mansion, she has donated money to build roads and bridges, donated granaries, and took care of the poor people. He has done many good things for the people of Huai'an. Even my father praised her as a 'righteous businessman'. So ......"
Xing Qige's words were interrupted by the woman's suddenly pale face, and he realized what he had said.
Aren't all these things that his father used to teach him a lesson?
How did he say it?
It's like...... As if blaming Miss Bai, obviously he didn't mean that!
"I didn't mean that, miss, don't get me wrong, I just think it's a little unfair to her that you say that. It's not that you ...... blamed."
Uncle Cui looked at the side, his mouth widened slightly, looked at the two of them and looked at Xiao Yinhan: Good guy, there are people in this world who can't speak more than you?
Is he really not afraid of being angry with his white sister?
Sure enough, just thinking so, Bai Muzhi stood up, her pretty face was pale, and her eyes were red: "It's me who is stingy." It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the captain doesn't need to explain, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xing Qige to explain anything, he turned around and left.
"No, Miss Bai, I really didn't mean that, I ......"
Xing Qige wanted to catch up and explain, but he took into account that there were two "guests" around him, and he didn't stay for a while, and his handsome face was almost annoyed.
"That's not what I meant......"
He looked at Uncle Cui, trying to find understanding.
What can Cui Shuwang say?
Of course, he just laughed awkwardly.
On the contrary, the man on the side who initially provoked this matter took a slow sip of tea and spoke: "It seems that the captain of the criminal capital has a good impression of this Boss Jiang." ”
Xing Qige opened his mouth, thinking of what he usually did and what he had just said, and the embarrassment returned to him again: "No, it's not......"
Seeing that he was about to entangle himself to death, the man sitting in the seat suddenly raised his hand: "This king and the criminal captain are like each other at first sight, why don't you drink wine together tonight, if you don't get drunk and don't return?" ”
Cui Shuwang's gaze instantly moved to Xiao Yinhan: What are you going to do?
Xiao Yinhan ignored him, and looked at Xing Qige with a smile on his face: "What does the Xingdu Lieutenant think?"
Xing Qige subconsciously looked behind him: "I'...... However, Miss Bai ...... "seems to be still angry."
Xiao Yinhan looked to the side with one look.
Cui Shuwang: !!
I don't care about you! Again! Look at the eyes again, gouge them out for you, believe it or not!
"It's okay, Sister Bai is not the kind of person who is stingy, she is just thin-skinned, not angry with you, go back and buy a gift and apologize and it'll be fine."
Facing the young man's hesitant eyes, his smile froze: "You believe me, I won't lie to you." ”
