Seeing that Gu Sanyue's attitude had improved a lot, Chu Wenze breathed a sigh of relief and said with a spring breeze: "Yangchun March Liu Ruxue, the girl's name is really nice." Gu Sanyue smiled lightly at him, which was considered polite. responded.
Chu Xiuyang stood aside and looked at Gu Sanyue with her eyes open. She was still curious about how Gu Sanyue changed his mind about seeking death and actually got acquainted with Xu Huaigu and came to Xicheng.
But after learning the lesson from last time, she didn't dare to speak carelessly, for fear of offending Gu Sanyue again. At this moment, she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, but it suppressed her straightforward temperament.
Chu Wenze wisely did not mention the humiliation of Gu March in Fuyao Sect, but said to Xu Huaigu: "Brother Yu, by the way, how did you get to know Miss March? Why did you come to Xicheng again? Xu Huaigu, who was reading the book, naturally would not tell him the whole story. He only said vaguely: "I met her on Fuyao Zong Mountain, and we got along well with her. She wanted to go out for a walk, so I took her here." When I arrived at Xicheng, I didn’t expect to meet the old alchemist not long after entering the city. After finally sending him away, I met you two. What a coincidence." Chu Wenze said with a smile: " I see. It seems that Brother Yu and I are quite destined, otherwise we wouldn’t see each other everywhere. Brother Yu, does he know that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival held every three years in Xicheng? Although the legend of making wishes come true during this Lantern Festival may not be true. But just looking at those exquisite lanterns is also very interesting. Xiu Yang has been clamoring to come before, so I brought her to play at the Lantern Festival. Why don't Brother Yu and Miss March come with us? "Xu Huaigu looked unhappy and sneered: "I think people in Xicheng like to do things like buying and selling by force, but I won't buy any of them. I'm neither a local nor a believer in lanterns, so I have no plans. To participate in this Lantern Festival, I will not go with you, Your Highness." Chu Wenze heard that Xu Huaigu had a bad impression of Xicheng, but it is a big city in the Fusang Kingdom. As the prince, if he said that Xicheng was not good, he did not mean that the Fusang Kingdom was not good. Well, this is a loss of royal face.
He valued the royal family's face most, and hurriedly stopped Xu Huaigu and said seriously: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about? But have you met some profiteers? If there is such a thing, just tell me and I will uphold justice for you!" Xu Huaigu said with a smile. : "Hey, he's just a troublemaker. I won't bother His Highness the Crown Prince to take action in person. I'm used to walking alone and don't know how to talk, so I won't ruin Your Highness's interest in playing tomorrow." After Xu Huaigu finished speaking, he wanted to take the lead. Gu Sanyue left.
He was very cautious now. First, the strange woman named Yan Ruoli appeared, and then this series of coincidences, Xu Huaigu did not dare not to be vigilant.
If someone really wants to harm him secretly, then this situation has been planned since he was still in the Fuyao Sect. This person is very deliberate, and it is completely impossible to see his purpose or who he is.
Not a single clue. Xu Huaigu doesn't feel at ease seeing anyone now. Chu Wenze, Chu Xiuyang, the old shopkeeper, the unknown old alchemist, Yan Ruoli, who is the insider and who is the innocent?
Chu Wenze said it at that time
The word "Xu" clearly means that he already knows his identity, but why didn't he reveal it? What's his purpose?
He suddenly thought of Gu Sanyue again. The person he felt most at ease with now was her. Could it be that she was plotting against him?
Now, no one around him can trust him. Chu Wenze wanted to make friends with Xu Huaigu. When he heard that he was unwilling to travel with him, he thought for a moment and thought it was the man who said it in a hurry.
The word "Xu" revealed that he already knew his identity, but he didn't reveal it, which made Xu Huaigu feel quite unhappy, so he simply confessed and said: "Brother Xu, I won't beat around the bush with you. I know you At that time, the names we spoke to my brother and sister were pseudonyms, and your real name should be Xu Huaigu. I learned this accidentally from the Fuyao Sect Master, and I didn’t deliberately inquire about it.”
"To be honest, I, Chu Wenze, don't have any ill intentions. It's just that I like to make friends. When I meet Brother Xu, a hero like you, I really want to travel with you. Brother Xu, please give me some face. Even if We won’t go on a tour tomorrow. Today I’ll invite you to stay at the beach for a night, drink and listen to the sea. How about it?” Seeing him confessing, Xu Huaigu felt a little more at ease with him. At the moment, he couldn’t refuse again and again, so he said: “Okay, then I’ll invite you, Your Highness.” Lead the way, let's go to the beach for a chat." Chu Wenze was overjoyed and quickly made a gesture of invitation. Xu Huaigu smiled and walked in the direction of his finger.
On the way, it was rare that Chu Xiuyang didn't cause any more trouble. She kept thinking about how Gu Sanyue changed his mind.
Chu Wenze introduced Xicheng to Xu Huaigu with great enthusiasm: "Speaking of the fact that our Xicheng is close to the sea, the sea view is undoubtedly the best at Xiaohuatan, which is where we will go tonight. And not everyone can go to Xiaohuatan. It is the private land of the Yan family, the richest family in Xicheng, so it is very clean and perfect for Brother Xu and I to chat. "The Yan family?
The surname Yan is not common. It just so happens that the strange Yan Ruoli also has the surname Yan. Could it be that she is related to the Yan family?
Xu Huaigu kept an eye on it and asked: "Your Highness, since you said that Xiaohuatan is the territory of the Yan family, can we go in?" Chu Wenze laughed and said, "Why can't we go in? Since the Yan family is the number one in Xicheng The rich family is inextricably linked to our royal family, how dare he disrespect our royal family? And this time Xiu Yang and I were going to visit the Yan family, and we happened to meet Brother Xu, so we just went together."
"Brother Xu may not know that the Yan family is really extremely wealthy. The water flow in and out of the Yan family every year is recorded in fairy money. There are about six or seven hundred colorful beads a year, which is six or seven billion. Two taels of silver, the annual turnover of the entire Fuyao Sect is about two thousand colored beads." Chu Wenze was full of pride and said: "Think about it, Fuyao Sect is one of the first-class sects in East Fuyao Continent, even if it is said to be The first sect is not an exaggeration. There are two monks in the tenth realm, and there are countless monks in the eighth and ninth realms. For such a sect, the annual revenue is only about three times that of the Yan family. You Think about how powerful the Yan family is." Xu Huaigu was a little shocked. The Yan family alone could own one-third of the assets of the Fuyao Sect. I don't know how much this family paid for. It was really terrifyingly rich.
Gu Sanyue listened on the sidelines and didn't understand very well, but he only heard words like the Yan family and the Fuyao Sect, and felt that the Yan family was an incredible place.
She asked Xu Huaigu softly: "Chief Immortal, you called him Your Highness, who is he?" Xu Huaigu quietly replied: "Your Highness, of course it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the girl next to him is His Royal Highness the Princess." Gu Sanyue He was taken aback and said anxiously: "Oh, it turned out to be the prince and the princess. Did I offend them on the steps that day? Will they arrest us?" Xu Huaigu said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Do you think they are the kind of unreasonable people? Besides, even if they want to arrest you, you are by my side now, and you are one of my people. How dare he try to arrest you?" Gu Sanyue laughed happily and said, "Xian Chang It's so amazing, even the prince has to give you face!" Xu Huaigu glared at her and said: "Don't be too happy too early, I'm just protecting you from unreasonable harm, if there is a real fight, I won't Helping you." The group of people chatted and walked towards the coast.
When Xu Huaigu went north, he basically walked along the Qishui River. This was the first time he saw the sea, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Far away from the sea, there was a strong sea breeze coming towards us. Xu Huaigu felt refreshed as he smelled the fresh salty sea breeze.
It was said that the sky was completely dark at this time. As he walked closer, he saw a long black line gradually appearing on the horizon in the distance.
As he continued to walk forward, the black line spread toward his feet, like a black mirror with slight waves on the mirror surface.
Before reaching the coast, several people arrived at a mansion. This mansion is majestic and majestic. At the door are two huge nanmu trees that can only be hugged by two people. They are painted with a layer of deep red paint.
On both sides stood two vivid white marble brave beasts. Chu Wenze pointed and hung up.
The vermilion door with the plaque "Yan Mansion" said: "This is the Yan family's mansion. This is just one of their many mansions, and there are several more in the city."
"This place is usually only cleaned by the servants. Occasionally, people from the Yan family will live here to enjoy the scenery and rest. But I have said hello to them in advance. The two young masters and a young lady from the Yan family should be here. This way." He walked to the door and knocked on the door. Immediately, several maids opened the door. When they saw it was Chu Wenze, they quickly lowered their heads and said in unison respectfully: "I have met His Highness." Chu Wen Ze waved his hand casually, and several maids dispersed. One middle-aged maid stayed, raised her head and said, "Your Highness, our lady has been waiting at Guanhai Pavilion for a long time." Chu Wenze frowned and asked, "You two Where are the young masters? Aren't you at home?" The maid said tremblingly: "The two young masters are still busy with the ferry business. They went out early in the morning and haven't come back yet. I don't know where they have gone." Chu Wen Ze felt that he had been let go and was very humiliated. He complained with some dissatisfaction: "You don't even give me any face. Your two young masters are too arrogant. Forget it if you don't come tonight. If you can still attend the tea party tomorrow morning, If you don't come, don't blame me for being disrespectful. Go back and tell them what I said." The maid lowered her head and replied fearfully: "I don't dare." Chu Wenze ignored her, called Xu Huaigu and several others, and went Walk deep into the mansion.
Along the way, Xu Huaigu saw that the Yan family's mansion was extremely luxurious. Each building was carefully built with precious wood, and the positions between the pavilions were also carefully crafted. The ventilation was designed to be excellent. Walking inside is full of sea breeze. Brush your face.
The road that a few people walked was a winding path with various fragrant flowers and plants planted on both sides, as well as rockeries and ponds.
Snow-white swans float in the pond, and green golden pheasants play among the flowers and plants. From time to time, maids walked by carrying red lanterns, bringing with them a burst of fragrance, which was intoxicating.
Xu Huaigu marveled in his heart, what a luxurious and decadent rich man. After walking a short distance, we passed the garden and reached the beach.
I saw a small pavilion on the beach not far from the sea. The pavilion was three people high. There were green glazed tiles near the top of the tower. There was a person sitting in the pavilion. The background was the boundless black sea. Looking from a distance, this scene Very wonderful.
A maid came up and whispered, "Your Highness, the lady is inside." Chu Wenze smiled, looked at the figure in the pavilion with admiration, and said, "I understand, you can go down. "A few people walked towards the Guanhai Pavilion. Xu Huaigu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of beauty is this woman who even His Highness the Crown Prince admires?
