Chapter 181 Frankness
Chapter 181 Frankness
Shui Qing, who was sitting next to Fan Chou and remained silent, glanced at her friend who seemed a little unwell, then raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder.
Fan Chou finally came back to his senses. He looked at Shui Qing with gratitude, then looked at Qian Qian with some doubt.
The little girl was already sitting next to Princess Hengyang, and Fan Chou frowned.
He could never have imagined that everyone in this room was from an important background.
After pondering for a while, he looked at Lin Wuhui and said, "Brother Lin, why did General Lin reveal his identity? What is Xia Guo's purpose?"
Lin Wuhui smiled and looked at Fan Chou, "You are overthinking, Lord City Lord. I am here just to take the younger generation of my family out for a trip."
Fan Chou couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes.
Shui Qing pursed her lips and did not react.
"My behavior this time was indeed inappropriate," Lin Wuhui stood up and bowed to apologize, "I would like to present a book written by Mr. Shen Zhongyue as a token of my apology."
Strictly speaking, it was extremely serious for them to openly appear in the State of Chu with such identities.
This time, I just want to test the scope and bottom line.
When Fan Chou heard the three words "Shen Zhongyue", his eyes widened and he stared at the tray in the servant's hand.
He looked at the books on the tray, breathing rapidly.
Shui Qing covered her lips and shook her head, vaguely guessing about Xia Guo's purpose.
"This, this," Fan Chou could no longer help but stood up and walked towards the waiter holding the tray, "Is this, true?"
"Yes," Lin Wuhui bowed again, "We will be returning to Xizhou soon. I hope the city lord will forgive me for my presumptuous visit this time."
Fan Chou stroked the book cover with trembling hands. The handwriting on it was indeed Mr. Chongyue's.
He was so excited that he kept swallowing his saliva. His blood was boiling and his brain seemed to be unable to work.
Shuiqing saw him like this and shook her head helplessly.
Lin Wuhui immediately turned to him, "Second Prince," he was surprisingly honest, "I have also prepared some food for you. I hope the Second Prince can help me deal with things in Chu."
This humble attitude made Shuiqing even more confused.
But when fried chicken, hot pot, and various delicious and fragrant braised dishes were served, Shui Qing's eyes widened.
Saliva kept flowing from his mouth, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Lin Wuhui smiled kindly, "Second Prince, I sincerely apologize, and I will give you these foods and recipes for free."
"Please, Second Prince, help me keep this a secret and don't let anyone know that I brought the princess and the county lady to Yaoyue City without permission."
"Well," he paused, "whether in Chu or Daxia, if this matter is publicized, Lin, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
As he said this, he pretended to wipe his forehead with his sleeve.
Shuiqing didn't care about so many things. After eating the mutton hotpot the day before, he couldn't fall asleep when he thought of the taste.
Now, with so many delicious foods in front of him, he couldn't wait to taste them.
Yan Qing, hiding behind the screen, looked at Shui Qing, whose eyes were glowing green with greed, and tilted his head in confusion.
This, the second prince of Chu?
Soon the banquet began, and it didn't take long for Lin Wuhui to toast with Fan Chu and become friends.
The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious and harmonious.
Gradually, Shuiqing also relaxed and ate elegantly without missing a single bite.
After the two of them were sent back to the City Lord's Mansion by Lin Wuhui's men with red faces and staggering steps, they looked at each other in silence.
After drinking the hangover soup, Shuiqing wiped his face with a handkerchief.
My thoughts finally cleared up a bit, "What is Lin Wuhui's purpose? I don't understand what he did."
Fan Chou was also confused, but when he thought of his own private plans and the book from Mr. Chong Yue that he had just received, he looked at Shui Qing with a guilty conscience.
He coughed dryly and said, "Your Highness will have to rush back to the capital tomorrow. Leave Yaoyue City to me."
"Your Highness, please rest assured and prepare for the diplomatic mission to Xia Kingdom," Fan Chou bowed, "With this city lord here, Lin Wuhui and his group will not be able to cause any trouble."
Water is clear...
This sounds wrong, but I don't know what.
The next morning, just as Fan Chou had sent Shui Qing away, Lin Zhi actually came to the City Lord's Mansion.
Fan Chou received him with great courtesy, and when he saw the evidence of Jiang Siyi's guilt that Lin Zhi handed over, his eyes darkened.
Lin Zhi cupped his hands and said, "This is the sincerity of our Great Xia. Please listen to my words, Lord City Lord."
Fan Chuan put away the evidence of Jiang Siyi's guilt, his chest heaving with anger. He looked at Lin Zhi fiercely. He wanted to hear what this bastard had to say.
After Lin Zhi left, Fan Chou was still confused.
Surrender to Daxia?
Become the lord of Nanchu County in Daxia?
"Crazy," Fan Chou frowned and pondered for a while, "Xia Guo is really crazy."
Looking at the evidence on the table, Fan Chou's eyes turned cold. He temporarily put the matter of Xia Kingdom on hold and called for the guards.
Get up and go to deal with the big rat in the house.
In the evening of that day, several horrific corpses were carried out of the City Lord's Mansion and thrown into the barren mountains outside Yaoyue City.
At this time, Qian Qian was scratching his head and finally finished writing the outline of a domineering president novel.
Feeling that his few brain cells were dying, he stuffed the things to Sister Hua, "Sister Hua, find a few good writers and write something to whet Fan Chou's appetite."
"I can't do it anymore," she waved her hands frantically and said, "I want to sleep for a while."
Without waiting for Sister Hua's response, she rolled onto the bed, pulled the bed curtains, and entered the space.
Dahua looked at her helplessly, shook her head, and took the so-called outline to find Xiao Qi.
As soon as Qian Qian entered the space, Er Dan threw himself at her. She rubbed Er Dan's head and said, "What's wrong? Did you have a mad time in the space? Don't want to go out?"
"clank."
San Ya looked much more lively. Qian Qian reached out and touched the scales on its body, and they didn't feel slippery at all.
It does have a warm, cold, hard feel, which feels a bit strange, but is pleasant to the touch.
Erdan and Sanya said hello to her and continued to have fun on the black soil.
Qianqian lay down immediately and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Qi flipped through the outline brought by the princess. The more she read, the brighter her eyes became. When she looked at the domineering president's quotes, her face turned red unconsciously.
"Princess," she said nervously, "Is this okay?"
Dahua looked up at her red face, the corners of her mouth twitched, "If Qianqian says it's okay, then it must be okay."
"Oh," Xiao Qi nodded, "I'll find someone to write it right away."
After finishing the things here, Dahua suddenly thought of something and turned to leave the house.
After spending most of the day wandering around the Yaoyue City market, I finally found four chickens and ducks of excellent quality.
As for the rabbit, she looked for it for several rounds but didn't see one that satisfied her.
Qianqian woke up and left the space. He waited for a long time before Sister Hua came back. When he saw the things in her hands, his eyes lit up.
[Tongzi, did you see that? My sister Hua loves me so much. 】
Dahua rolled her eyes at her and lovingly handed her the two chickens and two ducks. "Lin Zhi went to the City Lord's Mansion this morning. There shouldn't be any problems with Fanchu."
"And Shuiqing has already returned to the capital. When will you leave?" She rubbed Qianqian's head reluctantly.
Qian Qian pulled Sister Hua into the house and put the chickens and ducks into the space. "Don't worry, just wait for my uncle to make the arrangements. By the way, what do you think, Lan Lan?"
"Does she plan to be Ning Yuanchen's daughter?"
"What?" Dahua asked puzzledly.
"Before returning to Xizhou, I have to go to Penglai. If Lanlan has something to bring to her adoptive father, I can pass it on."
Sheng Lanlan, who came to the door carrying two bowls of chicken soup, paused, pursed her lips hesitantly.
