Seeing that Gu March's attitude had changed a lot, Chu Wenze also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The willows are like snow in March, the girl's name is so good." Gu March smiled at him lightly, and responded politely.

Chu Xiuyang stood aside, looking at Gu March with her eyes open, she was still curious about how Gu March changed her mind to seek death, and instead met Xu Huaigu and came to Xicheng.

But she had the lesson from last time, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of offending Gu Yue again, and she didn't dare to say it on the side at this time, but she suffocated her straightforward nature.

Chu Wenze didn't mention Gu March's humiliation in Fuyao Sect with interest, but said to Xu Huaigu: "Brother Yu, speaking of which, how did you meet Miss March?" Why did you come to this city again? Reading the book, Xu Huaigu naturally wouldn't tell him everything that happened, and only said vaguely: "I saw her on Fuyao Sect Mountain, and I talked to her about it. She wanted to go out for a walk, so I took her to Xicheng, but I didn't expect to meet the old monk not long after entering the city, which didn't send him away with great difficulty, and met the two of you, which was really a coincidence. Chu Wenze said with a smile: "I see, it seems that Brother Yu and I are quite fated, otherwise we wouldn't see each other everywhere." Brother Yu does he know that tomorrow is the triennial Lantern Festival in Xicheng? Although the legend of wish-making may not be true, it is also very interesting just to look at those exquisite lanterns. Xiuyang used to be clamoring to come, so I took her to the Lantern Festival to play once, do you want Brother Yu and the March girl to come with us? Xu Huaigu's face was not very good-looking, and he sneered: "I see that the people in this city love to play with things that are bought and sold, and I don't buy any of them." I'm not a local, and I don't believe much in lanterns, so I don't plan to participate in this lantern festival, so I won't go with you, Your Highness. Chu Wenze heard that Xu Huaigu had a bad impression of Xicheng, but this is a big city in Fusang Country, as the crown prince, he said that Xicheng is not good, but it means that Fusang Country is not good, this is a loss of royal face.

He attached the most importance to the royal face, hurriedly stopped Xu Huaigu, and said solemnly: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about?" But what profiteers did you meet? If such a thing happens, tell me, and I will do justice to you! Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Eh, it's just a Diao Min, don't bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go out in person." I'm used to walking alone, and I don't know how to talk much, so I won't spoil Your Highness's fun tomorrow. After Xu Huaigu finished speaking, he wanted to leave with Gu March.

He is now carrying a twelve-point heart, first the strange woman named Yan Ruoli appeared, and then it was this series of coincidences, Xu Huaigu did not dare not raise his vigilance.

If someone really wants to harm himself secretly, then this situation has already begun to be arranged since he was still in the Fuyao Sect, this person can be said to be deliberate, and he can't see the purpose of this person at all, and who he is.

There was not a single clue. Xu Huaigu is not at ease when he sees anyone now. Chu Wenze, Chu Xiuyang, the old shopkeeper, the unknown old Fangshi, Yan Ruoli, who is the insider and who is the innocent?

Chu Wenze said it at the time

The word "Xu" clearly knows his identity, but why don't you say it? What is his purpose?

He suddenly thought of Gu March again, the person he was most at ease with now was her, could it be that she was plotting against herself?

Now he is not trusted by anyone around him. Chu Wenze intended to befriend Xu Huaigu, and when he heard that he was unwilling to travel with him, he thought about it for a while, and thought that he said it in a hurry at that time

The word "Xu" revealed that he already knew his identity, but he didn't say it, which made Xu Huaigu feel quite unhappy, so he simply confessed and said, "Brother Xu, I won't beat around the bush with you." I know that you and my brother and sister were talking about fake names at the time, and your real name should be Xu Huaigu. This is something I accidentally learned from the Fuyao Sect Master, and I didn't specifically inquire about it. ”

"To be honest, I, Chu Wenze, don't have any malicious intent, it's just that I love to make friends, and when I meet a hero like you, Brother Xu, I really want to travel with you. Please also ask Brother Xu to reward me with face, even if I don't travel tomorrow, today I invite you to go to the beach for a night, drink and listen to the sea, how about it? Xu Huaigu saw that he confessed, and he was a little relieved of him, and it was not good to refuse again and again at the moment, so he said: "Okay, then please ask Your Highness to lead the way, and we will go to the beach for a while." Chu Wenze was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a gesture of false invitation, Xu Huaigu smiled, and walked in the direction of his finger.

On the way, it was rare that Chu Xiuyang didn't add any more trouble, and she had been pondering how Gu March had changed her mind.

And Chu Wenze introduced Xicheng to Xu Huaigu with great enthusiasm: "It is said that our Xicheng is near the sea, and the sea view is the best in Xiaohuatan, and we will go there tonight." And Xiaohuatan is not something that everyone can go to, it is the private land of the Yan family, the richest local family in Xicheng, so it is very clean, and it is the most suitable for me and Brother Xu to go and chat and talk. "The Yan family?

The surname Yan is rare, and it just so happens that the strange Yan Ruoli is also surnamed Yan, could it be that she has a connection with the Yan family?

Xu Huaigu kept a heart in his eyes and asked, "Your Highness, since you said that Xiaohuatan is the territory of the Yan family, can we go in?" Chu Wenze laughed and said, "Why can't you go in?" Since the Yan family is the richest family in Xicheng and has an inextricable connection with our royal family, how dare he disrespect our royal family? And this time, Xiuyang and I were going to visit the Yan family, and we happened to meet Brother Xu, so we simply went together. ”

"Brother Xu may not know, the Yan family can really be regarded as a rich country, the flowing water in and out of the Yan family every year is recorded in fairy money, about six or seven hundred colored beads a year, that is, six or seven hundred taels of silver, and the annual flow of the entire Fuyao Sect is only about two thousand colored beads." Chu Wenze's eyes were full of pride, and he said: "If you think about it, the Fuyao Sect is one of the first-class sects in the Eastern Fuyao Continent, even if it is the first sect, it is not an exaggeration. There are two monks of the Ten Realms, and there are countless monks of the Eighth and Ninth Realms, and with such a sect, the annual turnover is only about three times that of the Yan family, think about how powerful the Yan family is. Xu Huaigu was a little shocked, just one family of the Yan family, it was able to have one-third of the assets of the Fuyao Sect, I don't know how much this family has enshrined, and it is really terrifyingly rich.

Gu March didn't quite understand what she was listening to, but she only heard the words of the Yan family and Fuyao Sect, and she also felt that the Yan family was a terrible place.

She asked Xu Huaigu softly: "Immortal Chief, you call him His Royal Highness, who is he?" Xu Huaigu quietly replied: "Your Highness, of course it is Her Royal Highness the Prince, and the girl beside him is Her Royal Highness the Princess." Gu Yue was taken aback, and said anxiously: "Oh, it turned out to be the prince and the princess, so would I have offended them on the steps that day?" Are they going to arrest us? Xu Huaigu said disapprerovingly: "What are you afraid of?" Do you think the two of them are the kind of people who are unreasonable? Besides, even if they want to arrest you, you are now by my side, count me as my person, he dares to arrest it? Gu Yue laughed happily and said, "The immortal chief is so powerful, even the prince has to give you face!" Xu Huaigu glared at her and said, "Don't be too happy, I'm just protecting you from unreasonable harm, if there is a real fight, I won't help you." The group chatted and walked towards the shore.

When Xu Huaigu went all the way north before, he basically walked along Qishui, and this was the first time he saw the sea, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Far away from the sea, a strong sea breeze greeted me. Xu Huaigu smelled the fresh salty and wet sea breeze, and his spirits were greatly lifted.

Saying that, by this time it was already completely dark, and as he got closer, he saw a long black line gradually appearing in the distant sky.

As he walked further, the black line spread out to his feet, like a black mirror, and there were slight waves on the mirror.

Before they reached the shore, they arrived at a mansion first. This mansion is magnificent, and at the door are two huge nanmu trees that can only be hugged by two people, and they are painted with a layer of crimson vermilion lacquer.

On both sides stood two white marble carved pixiu, vivid. Chu Wenze pointed and hung up

The vermilion gate of the "Yan Mansion" plaque said: "This is the Yan family's mansion, this is just one of their many mansions, and there are a few in the city." ”

"It's usually just cleaned by people here, and occasionally people from the Yan family come here to enjoy the scenery and rest, but I said hello to them in advance, the two young masters of the Yan family, and a young lady, should be here." He walked to the gate and knocked on the door, and immediately several maids opened the door, and when they saw that it was Chu Wenze, they quickly lowered their heads and said in unison respectfully: "I have seen Your Highness." Chu Wenze waved his hand casually, several maids dispersed, and a middle-aged maid stayed, raised her head and said, "Your Highness, our young lady has been waiting in Guanhai Pavilion for a long time." Chu Wenze frowned and asked, "What about the two young masters of your family, aren't they at home?" The maid trembled and said, "The two young masters are still busy with the business of the ferry, and they went out early in the morning, and they haven't come back yet, and the slaves and maids don't know where they went." Chu Wenze felt that he had been released from the pigeon, and he was very shameless, and complained with some dissatisfaction: "I don't even give face, and the two young masters of your family are too big, if you don't come tonight, forget it, if you don't come to the tea party tomorrow morning, then don't blame me for not admitting feelings." Go back and tell them what I said. The maid bowed her head and replied fearfully, "The slave and maid do not dare." Chu Wenze ignored her, called Xu Huaigu and a few people, and walked to the depths of the mansion.

Xu Huaigu saw that the Yan family's mansion was extremely luxurious, each building was carefully built with precious wood, and the location between the pavilions was also carefully built, the ventilation was designed to be excellent, and the sea breeze was blowing in it.

The road walked by a few people is winding and quiet, with various aromatic flowers and plants planted on both sides, as well as rockeries and ponds.

Snow-white swans float in the pool, and emerald green pheasants frolic among the flowers and plants. From time to time, maids carrying red lanterns walk by, bringing a gust of incense, which is intoxicating.

Xu Huaigu was amazed in his heart, what a luxurious and decadent rich and noble family. After a short walk, you will cross the garden and reach the beach.

I saw a small pavilion not far from the sea on the beach, the pavilion was three people high, and there was a person sitting in the pavilion near the spire, and the background was the boundless dark sea, and from a distance, this scene was very wonderful.

A maid greeted her and whispered, "Your Highness, Miss is inside." Chu Wenze smiled, looked at the figure in the pavilion with admiration, and said, "Got it, you go down." A few people walked towards the Guanhai Pavilion, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, where is the woman who made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show appreciation?
