Chapter Seventy-Three: The Most Difficult to Bear the Grace of Beauty
The whole city of Lanzhou is now immersed in joy, and there are smiling and joyful faces everywhere.
The sound of firecrackers and drums was deafening, and people were cheering in the streets, swaying their joy wantonly, but there would be no such lively scene during the Chinese New Year.
Ye Feng didn't have the heart to blend in into this sea of joy at the moment, he hurried towards the inn through these crowds of crazy celebrations.
Mo Qizhong, the giant of the Mo family, silently carried his hands behind him and followed behind him unhurriedly, or, did he know what Ye Feng was worried about in his heart?
Just as Mo Qizhong's prophecy, when Song Hu had just withdrawn from the army and the siege of Lanzhou City had just been lifted, the boss of the medicinal herb merchant Wu immediately packed up his bags, told others that the capital business was in a hurry, and took his men and left the city from the south gate in a hurry.
However, Ye Feng was worried about another person at the moment, and it wasn't until he rushed all the way into the door of the inn and saw Cheng Nianzhen standing in front of the lobby door leaning on the doorpost, anxiously waiting for him, that his heart finally relaxed.
In fact, he didn't doubt that Boss Wu would do something to Miss Cheng, and after getting along for a long time, he still had confidence in Boss Wu's character.
But after all, he had just learned that Boss Wu was a secret agent of a foreign race, and at this time, all the people who knew some martial arts had already gone to the city wall to defend, and only Cheng Nianzhen and his righteous brother Xie Zhenliang, who did not know martial arts at all, were left in the inn, as well as the prefect Zhou who was poisoned and unconscious, and the Nanshan chess seniors who had not recovered from their serious injuries, and he really felt a little relieved.
Cheng Nianzhen was standing at the door of the inn lobby, and she didn't know how long she had been standing, so she kept looking out of the door anxiously, until she saw Ye Feng striding in unscathed, her eyes suddenly felt a little moist, and the scene in front of her was hazy.
And Ye Feng saw Miss Cheng leaning against the door with teary eyes, and his heart felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground, and a sweet feeling suddenly rose. He stood there motionless and stared at Miss Cheng, as if he had the most beautiful picture in front of him, and he couldn't get enough of it.
Perhaps, even he didn't realize it, this was the first time, when he looked at Miss Cheng, he didn't think of another person in his mind, Tang Rou!
Mo Qizhong, who was following behind Ye Feng, shook his head and coughed lightly, which brought him back to his senses.
Only then did he notice that behind Miss Cheng, there were two figures standing.
One of the scholars looked like his brother-in-law Xie Zhenliang who was polite and polite, and he was chuckling and said to Miss Cheng: "Look, I told you that he will definitely come back safe and sound, isn't it?"
Another person who was as fat as a ball of meat snorted and chirped: "The fourth child in our family, that can really be regarded as a great blessing, and it is simply commonplace to escape death and save the day." This little Song Hu doesn't have the ability to do anything to him!"
This person is actually the righteous brother Zhang Idiot Zhang Fat who went to the Black Armor Guard Camp to deliver the letter, and he also came back safely!
Ye Feng ran over quickly with joy, holding one of them in one hand, looking at this and that, and then looking at Cheng Nianzhen in front of him with tears of joy in his eyes, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a while.
It took him a long time before he excitedly said to Zhang Fatzi: "Are you back?"
Zhang Fatzi scoffed at his nonsense: "Of course I'm back, don't I stand in front of you alive now?
Ye Feng didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, he just smiled happily.
Xie Zhenliang glanced at Cheng Nianzhen, and then at Mo Qizhong, who was standing at the door and didn't come in, suddenly remembered something, patted the fat man's back, and said, "You haven't seen this old man yet, have you?" ”
Zhang Fat
Zi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is he?"
Xie Zhenliang replied: "He is the seventh uncle of the fourth child. ”
Zhang Fatzi frowned and muttered, "Seventh Uncle, how come I never knew that the fourth child had a seventh uncle?"
Xie Zhenliang said: "Come and know each other!"
While forcibly pulling and muttering in his mouth, the reluctant Zhang Fat Man walked out of the inn lobby, and only Ye Feng and Cheng Nianzhen were left in the lobby.
Of course, Ye Feng understood that Xie Zhenliang deliberately pulled away Zhang Fatzi, so that he and Miss Cheng could have a chance to be alone and talk about their hearts.
When he hurried back from outside Lanzhou City just now, he seemed to have a lot of things to say to Cheng Nianzhen in his heart, but when it came to the real face-to-face, Ye Feng couldn't even remember a word, and all that was left was the sweet feeling in his heart.
Cheng Nianzhen also lowered her head and didn't speak, just fiddled with the corners of her clothes, when she was waiting for Ye Feng at the door just now, she seemed to have something full of words to tell him, but now she couldn't say a word.
The two faced each other in silence for a long time, Ye Feng coughed a little embarrassed, cleared his throat, and asked, "That, how is Lord Zhou now?"
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, why did he ask such a stupid question at this time? In the face of Miss Cheng, he would ask for other people's news? He regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself.
Cheng Nianzhen raised his head, and his face obviously showed a look of disappointment, but he still replied softly: "He took my medicine, and now that the toxicity has been resolved, it should be fine." Take a rest and sleep until tomorrow morning, and you will be back to normal. ”
Ye Feng praised sincerely: "Thanks to Miss Cheng's rejuvenation skill, I thank you for your miraculous medical skills on behalf of Lord Zhou." ”
Cheng Nianzhen raised his head and glanced at him with some resentment, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "Who wants you to thank you?"
After speaking, he lowered his head and fiddled with the corners of his clothes.
Of course, Ye Feng knew that she didn't need other people's praise for her medical skills now, and she also understood what she wanted to hear most now, but she really had no experience in facing women, her mouth was as stupid as two pieces of wood, and she couldn't say a word.
Seeing that the two fell into an awkward silence again, suddenly, a sigh came from behind them.
Both of them were taken aback, and quickly turned their heads to look, only to see little Sanji sitting cross-legged on a chair, looking at them seriously, and still shaking his head and sighing in an old-fashioned manner.
Seeing that Ye Feng and Cheng Nianzhen noticed him, Xiao Sanji's face suddenly appeared with the naughty expression of a **-year-old boy, stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, jumped off the chair, turned around and ran to the guest room in the back.
Cheng Nianzhen found that he was seen through by others, his cheeks turned red, and he whispered a little shyly: "I'll go and see how Lord Zhou is." ”
Immediately after that, he quickly turned around and walked into the back guest room, and above the lobby, Ye Feng was the only one left standing there in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a chuckling sound in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw that outside the door of the inn lobby, two round heads were exposed, and he looked inside curiously, it was Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Fatzi!
The two of them were looking at him, smiling teasingly and shaking their heads.
At this time, Mo Qizhong next to them had a serious face, strode into the lobby with his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed: "The most difficult thing is to live up to the grace of the beauty, burn the piano and cook the crane, and spoil the scenery, I really don't know what to do." ”
Ye Feng knew that they had heard it all outside the door, and he suddenly felt embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, he was at a loss for a while, and said angrily: "Seventh uncle, why are you ...... old man?"
Ink Nanachi sat on a chair
came down and said with a serious face: "What did I just say? Alas, when I am old, I really don't know what to do. ”
Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Fatzi outside the door suddenly burst out laughing, and Ye Feng felt even more red-faced and embarrassed.
Just when he was at a loss, someone outside the inn suddenly asked loudly, "Ye Gongzi, is Ye Gongzi here?"
Everyone stopped laughing and looked up, only to see a person dressed in the clothes of the palace standing respectfully at the door, smiling on his face, bowing down and looking at them.
Ye Feng opened his mouth and asked, "It's Ye Feng below, who are you?"
The chamberlain replied: "The villain is just a servant in the palace of His Royal Highness King Su, and on the orders of His Royal Highness, he specially came to invite Ye Gongzi and all the heroes to go to the palace, and His Royal Highness specially prepared a banquet to express his gratitude to you for saving the hundreds of thousands of people in Lanzhou City." ”
It turned out that this person was a person sent by Su Wang Zhu, and this time there was no danger to tide over the catastrophe, and it was not strange that the prince set up a banquet to celebrate.
But now the people of the whole city, both the army and the people, are celebrating, and under the chaos, Ye Feng is in the inn where he returned directly from outside the city, and His Royal Highness King Su knew his whereabouts so quickly, it seems that everything that happened in Lanzhou City is really in the hands of His Royal Highness King Su.
I don't know why, Ye Feng suddenly remembered the last sentence that Song Hu said to him when he was about to retire, the poisoning of Ma Jianjun was indeed not instructed by him.
In Ye Feng's heart, he vaguely felt that a dark cloud was shrouded.
He asked the chamberlain, "Are the others in the palace of His Royal Highness King Su?"
The waiter bowed down and replied: "Back to Ye Gongzi's words, the two Tang Daxia and Tang Girl, as well as Mr. Huangyue and Ma Jianjun, are all on the palace banquet, and now everyone is waiting for Ye Gongzi and several heroes to appreciate it." ”
Ye Feng nodded and said, "You go back first, we'll be ready to go." ”
The chamberlain retreated as he said, and Ye Feng turned around to discuss with Mo Qizhong.
Mo Qizhong's eyes rolled and said: "What is there to discuss, the prince invites him to eat, there will be no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can you not go? Besides, you can't help but give the prince face, right?"
Ye Feng frowned, and asked a little strangely: "Seventh Uncle, haven't the children of the Mo family always practiced self-denial and frugality, regardless of food, lodging and clothing, they all strive to be frugal, how can you still be interested in those delicacies of the mountains and seas?"
Mo Qizhong snorted and said: "Although my Mo family advocates a frugal life of eating and drinking, and opposes extravagance and pleasure, it does not prohibit the children of my disciples from occasionally enjoying the pleasure of eating and drinking, not to mention that this is someone treating, wouldn't it be tyrannical if I don't go? Besides, do you think I really went there for these delicacies of the mountains and seas?"
Ye Feng nodded, he understood in his heart that Mo Qizhong was good at observing people, he wanted to take the opportunity to see who this Su Wang Zhu was?
It seems that Mo Qizhong also has some doubts about Song Hu's words.
Mo Qizhong stood up and pointed to Ye Feng in the direction of the guest room behind him: "Call Cheng Yatou too, people have been worried about someone for a day, and it is time to soothe and soothe it." ”
Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Fatzi on the side began to laugh secretly again, making Ye Feng's face red.
However, his blushing was not all because of embarrassment, but he suddenly thought at this moment that Tang Rou was also at the banquet in King Su's Mansion.
Tang Rou, the figure that once haunted him, but since he returned safely, he never thought of her, and even when he was alone with Cheng Nianzhen just now, he didn't think of her at all, which had never happened before.
Although Ye Feng didn't understand why, he suddenly felt a void in his heart, and he had an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
Why do you feel guilty? Ye Feng couldn't figure it out.
