Chapter 191: It's Different from What I Thought
At this time, the lobby of Mingyue Tower was already in a mess.
Several guard-looking people drew their knives one after another, and protected a man in a fancy costume with a nervous expression. Standing next to the boy in a fancy costume was a man in a dark red robe, with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes looking at the little leopard scurrying around in the lobby with interest.
With that call, the little leopard suddenly changed direction, ran in a certain direction on the second floor, and soon disappeared at the top of the stairs.
The shopkeeper, who had a blue nose and swollen face, crawled out of the table and chairs that he had turned over, covered his waist and moved to the young man in a gorgeous suit, bowed down and said: "This guest officer, you should go to another house, our Mingyue Building has been taken over." ”
"Presumptuous!"
At this time, Steward Fan hurriedly arrived and scolded the shopkeeper, "This is the Ten Princes!"
The second child of the Ten Prince's shop didn't know, but he knew this Fan steward, and when he heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and his body trembled like chaff: "King, the prince forgives the sin, the little one doesn't know that the prince is here, the crime, the crime deserves death!"
The prince of Huafu is the tenth brother of the current emperor, Li Ji, the king of Deyang, seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper who was frightened, he glared at Steward Fan with dissatisfaction, stretched out his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, get up!"
"Yes, yes!"
The shopkeeper got up from the ground tremblingly, but this was the first time he had seen such a big figure in his life, although the other party looked generous and gentle, but he couldn't help but tremble with nervousness.
Li Ji said gently: "Don't be afraid, call the shopkeeper to see me!"
"Yes, the little one will go immediately!" The shopkeeper came to his senses and hurriedly turned around to call the shopkeeper.
Who knew that he was too nervous and turned around and bumped into the corner of the table, which made his face cramp in pain, but he didn't make a sound, and then hurriedly ran towards the back kitchen.
Seeing this scene, the peach-eyed man couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "This shopkeeper, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for several days." ”
Hearing this, Li Ji turned his head to look at him and smiled: "Let the national teacher see it!"
While the two were talking and laughing, the chubby shopkeeper Hao hurriedly ran over from the back kitchen, and when he saw the two men beside Steward Fan, he directly stepped forward and saluted the prince in Huafu, and said with some trepidation: "See the prince! The small one is Hao Fugui, the shopkeeper of this Mingyue Building." The guests who came earlier have been arranged to wait on the second floor, do you see?"
He also couldn't figure out why the guest was so bold to wait on the second floor instead of coming down to greet him. You must know that this is the current Ten Princes, a figure above ten thousand people under one person, but he insisted on letting him say so, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell him so, I only hope that this Ten Princes will be as generous and benevolent as the rumors say, and will not condemn him.
Li Ji really didn't get angry, just nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way!"
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed in front to lead the way.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Yun Xiu and Luo Chen, who were hiding at the door, gestured to each other and quietly retreated to the corner. With the martial arts of the two of them, it is natural to hear that these people are all masters, although they are strong in martial arts, but it is better to be careful before finding out the truth.
When passing through the slightly closed door, I don't know if he sensed the movement in the house, and the peach-eyed man couldn't help but look at the door a few more times.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Hao hurriedly said: "These two rooms are a resting place for those singers, and your room is in the VIP hall in front. ”
The peach-eyed man nodded and didn't ask much, but when a few people didn't pay attention, he threw something in his hand through the crack in the door.
After walking some distance, I saw several handsome men and women in dark green clothes standing at the door, and saw a few people stretching out their hands to stop them, and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Don't be rude!"
Shopkeeper Hao was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, an old voice came from the room in time, "The prince has arrived, the old man is physically inconvenient and has lost his welcome, and he has forgotten his sins!"
Li Ji laughed when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Zhong is polite. With that, he raised his feet and walked in.
Steward Fan beside him hurriedly followed, but was stopped at the door by those few people, and he suddenly said with some annoyance: "What are you stopping me from?"
One of the men said coldly, "I'm sorry, no one is allowed to enter!"
Steward Fan's eyes were about to turn his face, but at this moment, Li Ji turned around and said, "You are waiting for this king at the door!"
"Yes!" Steward Fan replied in a smug voice, and stood outside the door with the guards.
Li Ji and the peach-eyed man entered the door, only to see an old man with a red face sitting on the soft couch in the room, and the other party just arched his hand when he saw Li Ji and said: "Please forgive the old man for being inconvenient and unable to salute, please sit down!"
Li Ji nodded, walked to the center and sat down, stretched out his hand to greet the peach-eyed man, "Brother Ji, please take a seat!"
The peachy-eyed man smiled and sat on the other side of him, far away from the old man.
Li Ji introduced the two: "This is Mr. Zhong Zizhu Zhong of the Hundred Beasts Mountain, and this is Mr. Ji Wuji. ”
The peach-eyed man smiled at the old man, "Mr. Zhong!"
Zhong Zigui nodded, and didn't bother to be polite to him, but turned his head to Li Ji and said: "The prince asked someone to send a letter, saying that he found traces of the golden retriever near Liangzhou City, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Li Ji smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted it.
A guard waiting outside the door quickly walked in, offering a delicate little box in both hands.
Li Ji smiled and said: "Which is true and which is false, Mr. Zhong will know at a glance." ”
Zhong Ziqi nodded and took the wooden box, took out a handful of hair from it and observed it carefully, his expression gradually changed from casual to serious, and then his eyes slowly widened, and the hand holding the hair trembled slightly.
Li Ji seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, but he just tasted the tea slowly and didn't say anything.
Ji Wuyi looked at the person opposite with a curious expression, wondering why this handful of hair could make the other party so out of shape.
After a long time, Zhong Ziqi excitedly confirmed: "It's really a golden retriever!" Reaching out and stroking the little beast in his arms, he said with love, "Xiu'er Xiu'er, you will no longer be alone in the future." The little beast seemed to enjoy it and snorted softly.
He turned his head to Li Ji and said, "I don't know where the prince got this handful of hair?"
Li Ji smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhong, the place where I found that thing is not far from here, and this king will arrange someone to take Mr. there later." Now let's have some tea and talk about it. ”
Zhong Ziqi grabbed the two crutches on his side and said impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for, go now." The old man is here for this thing, not for idle talk. ”
His words were extremely rude, but Li Ji had a very good temper, so he didn't get angry, but just raised his hand and said, "Mr. Zhong, don't be impatient." It's not that this king won't take you there, it's because not only the terrain is special, but there are also many poisonous insects and beasts. In order to get this handful of hair, the king also lost several loyal guards. Therefore, in the opinion of this king, it is better to make more preparations first. ”
Unexpectedly, Zhong Ziqi snorted coldly and said, "It's just some poisonous insects and beasts, and the old man thought it was something amazing." Don't worry, some poisonous old men really didn't pay attention to it. Lord, you just have to send someone to lead the way!" After speaking, he put his cane on the ground, and the whole person got up from the ground.
Ji Wuyi, who was sitting opposite, found that his legs were empty, no wonder he said that his body was inconvenient.
Li Ji was a little helpless, so he had to say: "Since Mr. Zhong said so, then the king will follow what you say." Steward Fan!"
"The subordinates are here!"
Steward Fan hurriedly walked in, bowed down and said, "What does the prince command?"
Li Ji took out a token from his arms and threw it over, saying, "Take this king's token to select some strong martial arts guards, and accompany Mr. Zhong to the Yin Yang Dao." ”
"Yes!"
"Wait!"
Just when Steward Fan took the token and was about to bow down and retreat, Zhong Ziqi on the side suddenly said loudly: "Those wine bags and rice bags are also cumbersome, and the prince only needs to find someone to lead the way." ”
