Chapter 31: The Prince?

"Forgive the old man for being presumptuous, dare to ask this son's noble surname" The shopkeeper smiled, "Oh! The owner of this shop www.biquge.info wondered, why did he just ask Xiao Lan what her name was, but he didn't pay attention to me and Xueyan, Tang Yueying couldn't help but wonder.

"Ha, it turned out to be Xiao Shaoxia, Xiao Shaoxia is from Jinling in Da Chen!" the shopkeeper began to speculate. "Oh, I'm indeed from Jinling, how did the boss know about it?" Xiao Lan said curiously. "Haha, I heard that twenty years ago, there was still no Chen State, it was Liang State, I heard that there was a general in Liang State who once exterminated the Black Mountain thieves in Meiling, not far from here, and eliminated the disaster for the people, and was deeply loved by the people, that general was surnamed Xiao, and he also lived in Jinling" The shopkeeper said 1510.

"The boss should be talking about my father, I heard the head of Huanhuamen say that my father did lead troops to exterminate the bandits in Montenegro twenty years ago, and I was not born at that time," Xiao Lan said. "Oh, there is such a coincidence, I didn't expect Xiao Shaoxia to be the son of General Xiao, Xiao Shaoxia, I see that you and I are quite close to each other, even if I invite this meal" The shopkeeper said happily.

"What's so embarrassing about this? The boss is also a small business, and the money still has to be given," Xiao Lan said and had to pay out of his pocket. The boss grabbed Xiao Lan's hand and said: "Eh, I also admire General Xiao's personality, but I don't have a chance to see the truth, now I am fortunate to meet Xiao Shaoxia, let me do my best to be a landlord, Xiao Shaoxia will look down on me if he shirks it again."

"Since the boss has said so, I might as well be respectful," Xiao Lan arched her hand to the shopkeeper. "By the way, boss, I still want to ask you about something," Xiao Lan said. "Xiao Shaoxia, please speak, I must know everything, and I will say everything," the shopkeeper said seriously.

Xiao Lan smiled: "That's right, we met a very well-dressed rich boy outside the city before, he said that his name is Hao Se, a merchant in the city, I want to know if there is such a merchant in this Jiaozhi City", "You said his name is Hao Se? As far as I know, the merchant in this city is not called this name, could he be a fake name?"

"Ha, it doesn't matter so much, thank you boss for telling me" Xiao Lan smiled dryly, this matter is indeed not so simple as Tang Yueying said, who is this Hao Se? Xiao Lan didn't know.

"This girl is Xiao Shaoxia's girlfriend!" the shopkeeper looked at Tang Yueying and smiled. Tang Yueying blushed unnaturally and explained, "Uh, no, we are...... I want a good friend", "Ah...... Yes, we are good friends" Xiao Lan also hurriedly played the round.

"Haha, I am willing to accompany you all the way to Jiaozhi, such a friend Xiao Shaoxia should be cherished" The shopkeeper smiled with a look of understanding again.

"It's not too early, boss, let's say goodbye, and when the matter is done, Xiao Lan will definitely come to disturb" Xiao Lan nodded to the shopkeeper and left.

Watching Xiao Lan's back gradually disappear into the crowd, the shopkeeper smiled: I didn't expect the young master to know the prince, and the old slave would help you in secret, young master!

Tang Yueying saw that she was far away from the store, so she pulled Xiao Lan's clothes and said, "Xiao Lan, do you think this shopkeeper is a little weird, how can he, a small businessman from a feudal country, know about your father." "Who said no, when he stopped me from digging out of his pocket just now, the strength of his wrist is definitely not what an ordinary noodle shop owner should have, in short, this person has some unknown secrets, it is certain" Xiao Lan said.

"Now I can only take one step at a time," Tang Yueying said.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way - be careful!"

Suddenly, there were a few sharp shouts in the downtown area, Xiao Lan saw that there was a luxurious carriage out of control in the crowd, the horse was so frightened that it ran around, stepping on the goods of many merchants, what jewelry, cabbage, eggs, flying everywhere, and now the frightened horse was stepping on a child in front, obviously the child did not realize the crisis in front of him, and was still tinkering with the windmill in his hand.

"Kid, get out of the way!" The people in the car were still shouting hysterically, but the child still didn't hear it, seeing that the horse's hooves were about to step on the child, Tang Yueying flew over and hugged the child aside. Why is the word "flash" used here, in fact, it is because Tang Yueying's movements are too fast, and even Xiao Lan has not seen what is going on, and the child is already out of danger.

Xiao Lan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed over and grabbed the reins of the horse tightly, glaring at the horse's eyes fiercely, and after a "whoosh" of the horse, the carriage finally stopped. The man in the carriage almost fell, but there were no casualties.

Tang Yueying touched the child's head and came to Xiao Lan's side, looked up and down and said, "Xiao Lan, are you okay?" "Heh, it's okay, even if I, Xiao Lan, don't help anymore, these two horses can still be pulled," Xiao Lan said with a smile. Looking at Xiao Lan's vigorous appearance, Tang Yueying was also surprised, it stands to reason that Xiao Lan's internal force is not enough to hold the two wild horses that have escaped, but seeing that Xiao Lan is now unharmed, Tang Yueying feels that Xiao Lan's potential internal force as a seven-star longitudinal son is at work, and it seems that Xiao Lan's future is really limitless.

"Oh, it's okay, look at the people in the car" Tang Yueying turned her gaze to the carriage after making sure that Xiao Lan was okay. "Hao Se, why are you?" Tang Yueying was startled when she saw the people in the carriage. "What? Hao Se" Xiao Lan also immediately walked over, and at a glance it was really the rich boy Hao Se who he saw outside the city today.

"Bold!What Hauser, this is the prince of the country of Cochin, the future heir to the throne of the country of Cochin," a man in soldier costume scolded. "Prince?" Tang Yueying and Xiao Lan said as they looked at each other. "Don't be rude, these three are my saviors, and I won't retreat!" said Hauser, to the soldier.

From the beginning, Xiao Lan felt that this person's identity was not so simple, but he didn't expect that he was the prince of Jiaozhi Kingdom. Hao Se jumped down from the carriage and said with a smile: "Hehe, we have met again with a few benefactors, I am really embarrassed that a few of my subordinates collided with the benefactor, the situation outside the city was complicated before, and I had to hide my true identity from several benefactors, and I hope that the benefactor is not strange, we will go back to the palace for details."

"Go back to the palace?" Okay, I haven't entered the palace since I'm so old?" Xue Yan heard the word "enter the palace" out of nowhere, and jumped in front of Hao Se with a "swish", "We saved you, you have to treat us well" Xue Yan didn't cover her mouth, and said with a big grin, "Xue Yan, what are you talking nonsense?" Tang Yueying quietly took Xue Yan's sleeve and said. Although this action was very careful, it was still seen by Hao Se.

"Haha, what this sister said is very much, it is Hao Se who is negligent, come, three benefactors, please follow me into the palace quickly, I want to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, come, get off!" Hao Se smiled.

In order to find out the real reason why the two Chisong Sect disciples wanted to kidnap Hao Se before, Xiao Lan and Tang Yueying looked at each other, and it seemed that both of them agreed to enter the palace with Hao Se, "Okay, then we will disturb" Xiao Lan said.

After following Hao Se through a few streets, he finally came to the center of Jiaozhi City, where a majestic and splendid royal palace was located, and Xiao Lan had also seen some introductions about the layout of the imperial palace in his father's study.

It is said that the imperial palace is divided into an inner city and an outer city, the inner city is the place where the Son of Heaven rests and the ministers of civil and military affairs go to court, and the outer city is the place where the imperial forest army and various palace guards are stationed. When the outer city encounters a war, the army can firmly hold the outer city, so that the inner city has a longer time to deal with or evacuate, although the Jiaozhi country is a small country, but the layout of the royal city is no different from the layout of the imperial city of the Central Plains court.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, two teams of soldiers greeted them, one by one, full of energy, like a group of tigers and wolves, seeing Hao Se walking over, the soldiers all lowered their heads neatly, originally to run out to stop Xiao Lan and them, but later found that Xiao Lan and his party were the prince's guests, so they bowed their heads respectfully.

"Come, take the three guests to the East Palace to rest, remember, these three are my saviors, don't neglect them," Hao Se instructed a palace maid beside him. "Yes, three VIPs, please come with me" This sweet voice attracted Xiao Lan's attention, this is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a sweet and lovely smile, and a light plain dress exudes her petite and pure temperament from the inside out. The girl's name is Yun'er, she has been in the palace since she was twelve years old, and because she is careful and meticulous, she was found by Hao Se to be brought to the East Palace to take care of her own life.

"Okay, there's Miss Lao Yun'er to lead the way," Tang Yueying smiled at Yun'er as a big sister. Seeing this, Hao Se was a little presumptuous, and brought someone to come by himself, but he didn't receive it personally, but asked a maid to bring it down, so he immediately added: "Three distinguished guests, please take a break for a while, and when I see my father, I will definitely come to visit in person." "Hehe, Brother Hao is polite" Xiao Lan didn't care about these falsehoods, but looking at this Hao Se was also extremely sincere.

Under the leadership of Yun'er, the three of them walked around the royal city and finally came to the prince's east palace, although the prince's east palace is not as spacious as the king's hall, but as the heir of the future king, it will naturally not be small, just the two stone lions in front of the palace gate, the king's domineering spirit can be seen at a glance.

"Three distinguished guests, this is your room, there are three separate bedrooms for you to rest, in the front hall you can talk freely in it, if you need to call me, I will not disturb the three distinguished guests to rest" Yun'er stood at the door with her right hand on her left shoulder, bowed deeply and went down, Xiao Lan saw this and hurriedly followed Yun'er's appearance, bowed stiffly, causing Tang Yueying and Xueyan to laugh.

"What are you laughing at, I'm following the customs," Xiao Lan feigned anger. "Yes, yes, follow the customs, is it like this?" Xue Yan smiled and made a bow gesture in imitation of Yun'er's posture just now. "Hehe, don't do it, you didn't see your brother's eyebrows straightened," Tang Yueying quipped.

It is true that this action is slight and graceful for girls to do, but it is stiff and weird for boys to do, so Tang Yueying and Xue Yan can't help but make fun of Xiao Lan, "Forget it, don't talk about this" Xiao Lan didn't have a good breath.

Xiao Lan found a chair and sat down and said, "What happened today feels like a dream, no one would have thought that a broken businessman would turn into a prince of the Cochin Kingdom."
