Chapter XVI: The Persian State
In the carriage, Song Wan glanced at Xiao Beichen, who was leisurely leaning against the wall of the carriage, and asked suspiciously: "Jiang Zhe, have you arranged everything?" ”
"Well, I have secretly sent people to guard the Jiang Mansion in turn, and there will be no danger for the time being until we come back."
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Song Wan's eyes, and she stared at Xiao Beichen tightly, "Where did you get the manpower?" ”
Forehead.... Xiao Beichen was stunned, and then realized that Song Wan was probing his tone, so he could only clear his throat in embarrassment, and said with a slight emptiness: "I said that I bought someone on the black market, do you believe it or not?" ”
"What do you say?"
"Hehe, I guess too", when the words fell, Xiao Beichen straightened up from his position, put away his hippie smile, and said solemnly to Song Wan: "Wanwan, when you come back from Persia, I will tell you what you want to know, but now, it's not time!" ”
Knowing that he had his own concerns, Song Wan had no intention of forcing him, so she nodded and agreed softly, "Okay." ”
"Huh? That's good? Wanwan probably trusts me too much, in case I lied to you! ”
"Xiao Beichen!" Song Wan frowned and glared at him warningly. Seeing this, he hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I'm joking, don't be angry." ”
Seeing that he turned his head to look out the window and didn't speak, Xiao Beichen leaned over cheekily and asked, "Wanwan, do you know the Persian country?" ”
"No, I've just heard a lot of rumors about it." This is true, in the previous life, she was busy assisting King Qi to ascend the throne and fighting with the Jin Kingdom, but she knew very little about the Persian State, let alone what was going on inside its royal family.
"Well... Then we went over this time, but it was really completely unknown, hehe, this is interesting! ”
"Since you don't understand, why do you still agree to Jiang Zhe's request, in case it's a trap?"
"It's okay, when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block it, the water and soil will be covered, and there may be unexpected gains!"
Listening to Xiao Beichen's always confident fallacy, Song Wan shook her head helplessly, That's it! I hope this trip can really be as rewarding as he said.
...........
On the border of the Western Desert, Xiao Beichen and Song Wan took the token given to them by Jiang Zhe and came all the way to the door of the Persian prince's mansion unimpeded. After getting out of the carriage, Xiao Beichen took the letter that had been prepared and handed it to the guard at the door, and stood with Song Wan waiting for the reply of the person inside.
Soon, an old man hurriedly came from the mansion, looked at the two of them and asked in a broken Central Plains dialect, "Is it the person entrusted by Lord Jiang?" ”
"Exactly."
"Good, good! The two of you, please come in, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen took the lead in stepping into the mansion with the old man, Song Wan followed closely, and after going around the garden twice, the three of them finally arrived outside the hall door, "Prince, the person has arrived." ”
"Well, Uncle He, bring them in."
As the words fell, the old man who called Uncle He stood in front of the door, gently pushed the door open, and made a gesture of please to them. Seeing this, the two of them slowly stepped into the hall one after the other, and when they looked up, they saw a young man in white sitting on the main seat, this person was thin and picturesque, so he just sat there quietly, and there was already an indescribable grace and elegance.
"The two of them are Xiao Gongzi and Miss Song mentioned by Master Jiang! Below is the prince of Persia - Yuwen Sutuo, the two of them came from thousands of miles to help, and they are really grateful! I have asked someone to arrange a side room for the two of you to rest and take a bath first, and there will be a special reception banquet later. ”
"The prince is serious, it is our honor to be treated so favorably by the prince on this trip."
"Xiao Gongzi is polite", after the greetings were over, Yuwen Sutuo turned his head to the door and called: "Uncle He, take the two distinguished guests to the wing room to rest for a while." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince! Two please. ”
.........
In the morning dew hall, the maid hurriedly ran into the wing room, and reported the situation in the palace to the Persian princess who was lazily lying on the main throne, Yuwen Ying, about the situation in the house today....
"Is that true?" A foxy voice sounded, Yuwen Ying raised her delicate thin eyebrows, raised her smooth calves and sat up slowly, and asked again, "You read that right?" ”
"The slave and maid will not be mistaken, the person who came today is Xiao Gongzi!"
It's really her brother Xiao who is here, and she knows that Brother Xiao won't forget her! "Biyu, dress up for me, I want to see Brother Xiao with the best look!"
"Yes, Princess."
..........
On the other side, Song Wan had just changed into clothes in the wing room, and there was a knock on the door, "Wanwan, are you okay?" ”
Hearing this, Song Wan walked over and opened the door, nodded at Xiao Beichen and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Looking at Song Wan, who was dressed in the unique costume of the Persian country in front of her, the turquoise skirt set off her skin like snow, and she couldn't help but make people's eyes shine, "Wanwan, you look so good in this!" ”
Turned red by the sudden compliment, Song Wan glared at him shyly, "Let's go, don't make the prince wait for a long time." After that, he ignored Xiao Beichen and took the lead in front of himself....
On the table in the hall, looking at Song Wan who came from the courtyard, Yuwen Sutuo was stunned, and then couldn't leave her for a long time with a stunning look in his eyes. "Prince?" Hearing the beauties' puzzled voice, Yuwen Su Tuofang felt his gaffe, and couldn't help but blush, and stammered: "Song, Miss Song, this, this dress is very suitable for you." ”
"Really? Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for your compliment. ”
As soon as Xiao Beichen, who came closely, stepped into the hall, he saw the warm picture of the two talking and laughing, his face sank, he walked over to block in front of Song Wan, and said coldly to Yuwen Su Tuo: "Prince, I've been waiting for a long time!" ”
"Oh, Xiao Gongzi is here, quick, please take a seat. On the table are our most authentic food, Miss Song and Xiao Gongzi will have to taste it later! ”
As soon as the words fell, before the three of them put down their chopsticks, a figure walked in outside the door, and its strong rouge smell has not dissipated since entering the door, only to see her twisting her thin waist and walking in front of Xiao Beichen, pinching her voice and saying: "Brother Xiao, you finally came to find Sakura!" ”
Listening to this pretending to be shy, Xiao Beichen couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, damn it, where did this demon come from!
"Yuwen Sakura, Hugh is rude! Whoever let you go out of the temple without permission will not let me go back. ”
"I don't, even if you are the crown prince, you have no right to interfere with my freedom, not to mention that Brother Xiao is my savior, he has come all the way to Persia to find me now, how can I not be there!"
"You"
Not wanting the conversation to go in a more and more funny direction, Xiao Beichen took the lead in interrupting their argument, "Girl, I think you misunderstood, I came here this time to discuss something important with the prince, not to come to you as you said, and I don't have any impression of the life-saving benefactor, did you recognize the wrong person?" ”
"Impossible! Brother Xiao, I went to the Central Plains with my grandmother when I was young, and I was almost caught by human traffickers at that time, but fortunately you happened to pass by and saved my life, this is the jade pendant you gave me at that time, with your Xiao characters on it, I will not admit it! ”
