Chapter 59: Engagement!?
Hearing Gu Liman shouting to himself, "Stop!" Wang Xiaotian's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this person had discovered something wrong and wanted to arrest him? If that was the case, would he go on a killing spree? Or would he just run away?
He forcibly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his head, calmed down, made a blank expression on his face, turned around, and looked at Gu Liman.
Gu Liman said: "Young Excellency, I haven't asked for your name yet. ”
It is a common practice in the spiritual world to address the sixth-level Force Master as Your Excellency. As soon as the two fought, Gu Liman had already seen Wang Xiaotian's realm and knew that he was already a master of the Force.
Wang Xiaotian immediately gave up his hand without thinking and said, "My name is Ye Zhanjian." I don't know the name of Your Excellency General?"
If Lu Ziming hadn't been knocked unconscious, and heard Wang Xiaotian say this, he asked him, "Obviously called Wang Xiaotian, why did you report Ye Zhanjian's name." ”
In fact, this is Wang Xiaotian's prudence. He was worried that if he reported his name, he would be touched by Gu Liman Shun Teng and find out the Furong Academy, then it would all be exposed.
Gu Liman stroked his chest with his right hand, bent down and saluted, and said, "It turned out to be Your Excellency Ye Zhanjian." Fortunately, I will be honored. My name is Gulman Ahid Gulti Ahmed. You can call me Gulliman. ”
Wang Xiaotian stroked his chest with his right hand and saluted: "Your Excellency General Gu Liman, I am fortunate to meet you." I still have something to do, so let's go first. There will be a chance to talk about it again. Farewell, Your Excellency, General. ”
Gu Liman showed a "I understand" smile, touched his chest with his right hand and saluted back, "Goodbye, Your Excellency." ”
Wang Xiaotian also replied with a tacit smile, carried Lu Ziming, and quickly disappeared into the alley.
Gu Liman looked thoughtfully at the place where Wang Xiaotian disappeared. His henchman Aleman leaned over and whispered, "General, why don't you arrest him?"
Gu Li hated that iron could not be made of steel, glared at Aleman and scolded: "Do you think this is the Canaanite Federation? This is Dushante, we are here, without evidence, we have made a big move, and arrested the people of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, do you think the city lord will sit idly by?"
Aleman said, "But, something is wrong with this guy. ”
Gu Liman looked at the alley where Wang Xiaotian disappeared and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This man is too young. It's so rare for such a young Force teacher to become a teacher. And why did he suddenly appear here?"
Gu Liman said disapprehantly: "The cultivation method of the Eastern Chu Kingdom is different from ours. We are practicing at the same time as the Force level and the actual combat. They are not. They first increase the level of the Force, and then practice in actual combat. ”
"Therefore, it is not uncommon for the young Force to become a teacher in the Eastern Chu Kingdom. You reminded me, though. You have to check the details of this Ye Zhan sword. You guys, go and do it right away. Before dinner, I'm going to get his information. ”
"Yes, General. ”
Wang Xiaotian carried Lu Ziming on his shoulders, galloped all the way, and returned to the inn. When everyone saw it, they were all surprised and came up to watch.
Wang Xiaotian handed Lu Ziming to Wang Dadi and said, "You take her back to rest first." Then he shouted to the crowd, "What do you see, what is there to see? ”
After speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to find Hua Ziyu.
Hua Ziyu heard the movement and also came out of the room, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Wang Xiaotian coming over here.
"What's going on?" Hua Ziyu asked as she let Wang Xiaotian into the room.
Wang Xiaotian said: "When I was chasing Lu Ziming, I had an accident, and I happened to run into the royal guards of the Canaan Federation. ”
Hua Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "What is the situation, you can tell me in detail." ”
Wang Xiaotian immediately recounted the incident in detail. Hua Ziyu's eyebrows twisted into pimples when she heard this.
After Wang Xiaotian finished speaking, Hua Ziyu held back her anger and said, "This Lu Ziming is too unusual. When I go back, I must give her a punishment. ”
Wang Xiaotian said: "I'm not in a hurry to punish anything. Now that all the members of the royal family guard have returned, it is even more difficult to take the rest of the delegation out of the Oriental Hotel smoothly. ”
Hua Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Do you estimate that General Gu Liman will be suspicious of you?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "How can you not be suspicious? I guess he will definitely let people check my details, so I reported Ye Zhanjian's name." ”
Hua Ziyu said: "Why do you want to report this name? Did you make it up, or is there really such a person?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "There is really such a person." He is a friend of mine, and he has also participated in the exploration of the core area of the Great Wilderness. The sixth-level Force is intermediate, with superb sword skills and few enemies. If Gulman could find out about him, he would certainly not be connected to our academy. ”
Hua Ziyu nodded and said, "Well, you're right. I haven't heard of this name, and I don't think anyone would associate him with our Hibiscus Academy. ”
He paused and then asked, "Do you have any plans for taking the rest of the delegation out of the Oriental Hotel?"
Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I also listened to what Xia Xianlong said, and I have a general idea in my heart, but I don't have a clue about the specific details." Besides, there were only a dozen royal guards guarding the delegation. We can also find a way to get them drunk or distract them so that the people of the delegation can sneak into the boxes. ”
"Now, the number of royal guards has increased several times, and it is impossible for us to divert the attention of these guards from the original method, and once our plan is discovered, so many royal guards will inevitably surround us and the people of the visiting delegation. A fierce battle is inevitable, let alone taking them out smoothly. ”
Hua Ziyu couldn't help but pout, and said, "Why don't you find a way to set a fire somewhere in the city and attract the attention of these royal guards?"
Hua Ziyu still maintains the mindset of a soldier, and in order to complete the task, special measures can be taken if necessary. At the moment, in his opinion, as long as the rest of the delegation can be safely taken out of Dushante, the rest of Dushant can be sacrificed.
Wang Xiaotian shook his head again and again, and said, "This is impossible, once there is a riot or riot, the city lord of Dushant will order the city gate to be closed." Even if we can escape from the Oriental Hotel, we will not be able to escape the ensuing search. ”
Hua Ziyu asked, "So, do you have a good way to get out safely?"
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "I think that instead of passively waiting for things to change, it is better to take action and change in that direction if you want things to change." ”
Hua Ziyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then tell me, how to plan?"
Wang Xiaotian attached himself to Hua Ziyu's ear and whispered for a while.
Hua Ziyu listened and pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Just do as you say." ”
The next morning, General Gulman suddenly received an invitation that read, "Dear General Gulman, it is my honor to invite you to attend the engagement ceremony between the contemptible man and Miss Lu Ziming this afternoon. The banquet was held in the Taoran Hall in the second area of the Oriental Hotel. We look forward to your visit. The inscription is "Ye Zhanjian".
Although the appearance of this invitation is in the style of the antique Eastern Chu Kingdom, the content does not meet the standards of the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
First of all, in the etiquette of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, the invitation to get engaged or married should be sent out by the man's parents. Even if the man's parents pass away, the man's uncle, uncle or even brother should send an invitation.
Even if none of these relatives are available, the invitation should be jointly issued by the male and female parties. However, the invitation cannot be made in the name of the individual man.
However, in the Canaanite Federation, there is no such provision. The status of women in the Canaanite Commonwealth is very low, and even if a princess marries, she cannot hold an engagement or wedding banquet in the name of the princess. After the princess gets married, she has to stay at home as an ordinary woman to teach her husband and children, and she can't show her head again.
Therefore, in order to cater to the etiquette of the Canaan Federation, Wang Xiaotian specially made an invitation letter with the appearance of the style of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, but the writing conformed to the characteristics of the Canaan Federation, and sent someone to Gu Liman.
Gu Liman read the invitation and read it repeatedly for two minutes. Then he picked up a copy of the document that Aleman had sent before dinner yesterday. It reads two sentences from Liao Liao:
Ye Jianjian, male, twenty-four years old, the sixth level of the Force Formation Division. The worship of the Ye family, the boss behind the Reward Pavilion, is famous for his excellent swordsmanship.
There is only one difference between these materials and Gu Liman's impression of Wang Xiaotian, that is, age. Wang Xiaotian's age is obviously less than twenty, and the information shows that Ye Jianjian is twenty-four years old.
The older the person, the less obvious the difference in appearance is. Although there is a difference of ten years between an eighty-year-old man and a seventy-year-old man, the difference in appearance between the two will not be particularly obvious, and they are both wrinkled faces.
A twenty-five-year-old boy and a fifteen-year-old boy are also ten years apart, but their appearance is very different.
Wang Xiaotian and Ye Jianjian are four or five years apart, and their appearance and age definitely look different. However, although this gap will make Gu Li suspicious, it can be explained by Wang Xiaotian's long face and high force level.
What makes Gu Li even more satisfied is that why did this "Ye Zhanjian" suddenly get engaged to Lu Ziming? Who is that Lu Ziming?
Was it the woman who quarreled with "Ye Zhanjian" in front of him yesterday? Why did they reconcile so quickly, and they had to get engaged in a hurry?
Aleman came in, bowed, and said, "General, you called me?"
Gulman handed over the invitation, "Take a look." ”
Aleman looked at it and said with a puzzled expression: "General, why did this Ye Zhanjian send you an invitation?"
Gu Liman said: "What do you think?"
Aleman thought for a moment and said, "I think something is wrong, but I can't find anything wrong." You've only met him once, and you don't have any friendship, so why did he give you an invitation?"
Gu Liman said: "Why is the information of Ye Zhanjian so simple? What about his portrait? Why is there not even a description of his appearance?"
Aleman said: "I asked people to inquire about some caravans in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, but they found nothing. Later, I found out through some channels in the black market that this person was not well-known in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and even fewer had seen him in person. The implication is that it is not easy for him to hear this information.
Gulman glared at Aleman and waved his hand impatiently, "Stand down." ”
Aleman immediately saluted and turned to leave.
Gu Liman suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”
Aleman turned around and asked, "General, what do you command?"
Gu Liman said: "You go and pick a gift as my engagement gift to Mr. Ye Jianjian and Miss Lu Ziming." ”
Aleman nodded and asked, "Is it a little more valuable, or is it a general one?"
Gu Liman thought for a while and said, "This Ye Zhanjian is very interesting, I am very interested, and I should give him a valuable gift." In addition, you arrange people, change out of uniform, put on ordinary clothes, and search for the whereabouts of the princess in the city. ”
"Yes. Then, Aleman said tentatively, "But, General, we have been looking for so many days in the vicinity of Dushant, and we have not even found the figure of Princess Nia. I'm worried that Princess Nia will run away to Tashkent?"
