In the morning, the morning sun rises, and the mist will disperse. The warm, languid light of winter pours down over the northern part of this large southern city.

Exquisite manors stand in rows separated by polite distances that do not disturb each other. The architectural styles may be different, but the interior decorations are all the same luxurious and tasteful. Large meadows, beautiful sculptures, and dreamy and creative fountains...... Although it is not the aristocratic district of Dongcheng, these manor buildings located in the wealthy merchant area of Beicheng are not as shabby as the former, and some even exceed them.

It's not about status, it's just about the charm of money!

Now, in front of the door of one of the more luxurious buildings than most aristocratic manors, burly guards are pushing open the iron doors left and right, and well-dressed coachmen are slowly parked under the steps in front of the door in a delicate carriage...... This qiē is a sign that the owner of this manor may be going out later.

At this moment, "Darling, can't you really come with me to the appointment?"

"I'm sorry, Annika, but yesterday I had already made an appointment with Lord Earl for the morning. And, you know, you're all ladies, staying together and having common topics, I used to be a little bit out of place. ”

Gently explained, a young man and a woman walked side by side inside the door. The man's face is slightly delicate, but because of the short beard deliberately grown at the chin, there is a bit of maturity. The woman wrapped around her arms is tall, with an elegant temperament, and her delicate face is a little coquettish.

Shaking his arm, "But I've already promised Betsy, and aren't you all from Lai Yan City?" ”

"Just because of business, Annika. The young man raised his hand and stroked his partner's silky hair. Laugh softly. "I know exactly what she's here for. Well, in this case, you can negotiate with her on my behalf, and promise the merchant group to cooperate with her family. ”

"Ahh

"Huh. Rest assured. This is a long-term cooperation and will not be lost. And, since it's your good friend, it's time to take care of it. Smiling, Annika was helped into the luxurious carriage, and the young man said softly.

"Well, thank you Darling. Annika was overjoyed when she heard this, and reached out of Bai Jieyu's neck and took the initiative to kiss the young man's face.

"Well, that's fun. With a wave of his hand, the young man turned around with a smile and was about to wave his hand to the coachman who was standing next to him to close the door and leave. His eyes flickered and he looked ahead.

More than ten zhang away. A group of dozens of people who appeared out of nowhere were scattered in an arc, stopped in the middle of the road, and strode forward. However, it was not this impolite behavior that attracted the attention of the young man, but the demeanor and temperament of these dozens of people, the kind of iron-blooded momentum that would be revealed as long as they were gathered into a group, which only a soldier from the military could have.

"Dude, you guys seem to be in the way. Such a group of menacing men approached, and it was naturally impossible for the guards scattered around to be invisible, so they quickly stepped up to meet them and stopped in front of the carriage. However, the captain of the guard may have also seen the identity of this group of people, so his attitude is still relatively polite.

"Oh, sorry, it's because we don't have an appointment. A young man in a gorgeous robe walked out from behind dozens of people blocking the road, and with a charming smile on his handsome face, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

Just by his words and deeds, he could see that this young man was obviously completely different from the dozens of people with iron-blooded momentum beside him. Not like a man in the army, but like an elegant nobleman.

But of course, this could not be the reason for the guards to let him go, not to mention that from the words that the young man had just said, it was obvious that they were coming for this side. Shaking his head, "Then I'm sorry, my master doesn't see a strange visitor." ”

"Yes, why don't you ask?" The handsome young man did not show the slightest frustration when he heard this, his eyes looked past the guards, looked at the young man standing in the carriage, and raised his hand to greet him, "Hello, Alan. When we first met, my name was Philip. ”

Although this is the south, it is far away from the capital, so everyone present naturally does not know the meaning of this name, except for one person...... The young man, that is, Allen's expression was stunned when he heard this, and the pupils in his eyes contracted sharply, but he quickly eased up and relaxed, took a slight breath, and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat: "Let them come over." ”

"Ha, I knew you had heard of me. But I guess that guy won't say nice things about me behind my back, right?"

"That's true. ”

“...... Believe me, that's slander, he's definitely jealous!"

......

Since this handsome young man is Philip and the young man is Alan, then the so-called guy is of course Donn. Philip and Alan were both friends with Donne, but they didn't know each other before. It was also impossible for Don to introduce Philip to Alan, but he had mentioned such a person to Alan during small talk. Now that Philip is suddenly uninvited, the meaning behind this is self-evident......

However, although he knew that he had been exposed, Allen did not have a panicked look on his face, but frowned and asked, "Can you ask, how did you find here?"

Philip waved his hand casually: "Oh, it was just an accident. We found out Josia's family here, but after going to Laiyan City, we pounced on it, and only after inquiring learned that the family suddenly disappeared out of thin air overnight...... You've been so careful that we still don't know where the family has been transferred. But you know, this is Bran land after all. And if you want to save people, some intermediate procedures can't be bypassed, such as the soldiers who collected a lot of money to open the city gates for you at night. ”

In any case, it is also a family relocation, and there will always be some traces. And in the land of Bran, if the Bran royal court mobilizes all forces to search, it is basically a matter of time before it is found.

"Understood, thank you. Nodding in thanks, Alan laughed to himself, "It seems that gold coins are not omnipotent things. You're right, this is indeed Bran Land, and I was careless. It's just that what I didn't expect was that it was you who came to look for me. ”

"No, in fact, what is more surprising is me, who would have thought that the president of the famous Tang Dynasty Business Group would actually ......"

Before the words fell, "Darling, what's wrong? Who is he?" Feeling that the carriage under her had not moved, Annika couldn't help but lift the curtain outside the window of the car in confusion, first glanced at Philip, and then looked at the dozens of men scattered around him faintly surrounded, and suddenly asked nervously.

Hearing this, Allen's body instantly tightened, and his calm expression appeared a little panicked for the first time, licked his lips, slowly relaxed, and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing, I met an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, so I chatted more." ”

Spreading his hands, his eyes suddenly brightened when he looked directly at Philip, and he introduced, "This is Philip...... Philip, this is my fiancée, Annika, and now I'm going on a date. Oh, by the way, don't look at her pretty, she's actually stupid, she doesn't know anything. Hehe......"

"Da-Ling-" Annika couldn't make out the meaning of the pun, and said with shame and annoyance. However, the tension gradually dissipated unconsciously. Since Alan would tease himself so much in front of this stranger, then this should be a very unusual friend......

After a pause, Philip looked at Alan's brighter eyes, put his arms behind his back and waved, and the big men around him immediately retreated and made way for them. Taking another step, the corners of Philip's mouth rose to reveal an elegant and charming smile: "Oh, beautiful Miss Annika, it's an honor to meet you......"

Before the words fell, Alan slapped Philip's arm that was about to kiss the hand with an expressionless face, "Sorry, conditioned reflex." Then he turned his head to look at Annika who was smiling lightly, and her expression turned gentle, "Go ahead, it's almost time to go to the appointment." ”

"Well, see you then, Lord Philip. He nodded politely and lowered the curtains, and the luxury body shook lightly and drove away slowly.

"Tsk, what a beautiful aristocratic lady. Reluctantly retracting his gaze, Philip smacked his lips and turned to look at the expressionless Allen, "Why?"

"What, why?"

"You're getting married, and with your status and financial resources, there's no need to do such a dangerous thing, are you?

"It's not. Alan shook his head and said calmly, "I'm a gentleman's man." ”

"Uh, what do you mean, Donn?"

Alan did not deny it: "The qiē I have now is all given by my husband, and it is natural to do things for him." ”

"Including something that might send you to the gallows?"

"Of course!" replied categorically.

Stunned, frowning and muttering, "I really can't see that guy still has this ability...... Well, get acquainted officially. Taking a step back, Philip bowed solemnly and said earnestly, "Philip, Don's friend!"

Alan was slightly stunned, and also bowed back: "Alan, Mr.'s subordinate." ”

"Ha, he won't treat you as a subordinate...... But since we've all met, it shouldn't be a problem for my friend to ask you for help, right?" Wrapping his arms around Alan's shoulders, Philip's serious and solemn look just now disappeared in an instant, revealing a smile with a little flattery, "That, where is Josia's elder now?"

Hearing this, Alan immediately looked vigilant, and Philip stroked his forehead, with a hurt expression on his face, "Uh, what kind of eyes are you......? I'm not here to arrest them, well, just get to know each other, let's exchange feelings, and make a familiar face......"
