"Ling Qianjin and I are really just ordinary friends."
Shu Guan said to Xu Pingxi so sincerely.
"I didn't make your daughter cry either."
But in the second sentence, Shu Guan was not so confident.
He didn't know why Xu Chuxiang suddenly started crying just now. He didn't seem to have said anything wrong.
But if Xu Chuxiang's sudden crying had nothing to do with him, Shu Guan was not so sure.
At this time, he and Xu Pingxi were sitting in a study room.
This is a very large and spacious study room. There are many bookshelves in it. The books are filled with books, and there are even many rare and valuable rare books.
But in this study, you still can't feel the slightest scent of books.
Perhaps it's because every book in this study has no trace of being turned over.
Or maybe it's because the precious Duan inkstone on the desk has cracked because it has not been used for a long time. The rabbit hair pen on the side is too white, and it seems that it has never been used since it was made. Stained with ink.
Xu Pingxi sat on this side of the desk, and Shu Guan sat on the other side of the desk, their eyes facing each other.
At this time, Xu Pingxi's face seemed to have the words "I don't believe" written all over it.
He knew his daughter too well.
When he saw Xu Chuxiang's appearance just now, he knew how much his daughter liked this young man.
"Although I know you are a god, if you dare to feel sorry for my daughter, I, Old Xu, will... fight you!"
Xu Pingxi gritted his teeth and said to Shu Guan.
He originally wanted to say something harsher, but when he thought about it, he couldn't seem to do it. He just remembered his daughter's crying look just now. As an old father, Xu Pingxi, when facing this young man, he felt... Suddenly I gained a lot more courage.
Now Xu Pingxi had no reason to believe that this young man must have done something to his daughter that made her so sad.
Shuguan smiled bitterly and continued to explain:
"Ling Qianjin and I really have nothing to do with each other. I have a girlfriend, and my girlfriend is Ling Qianjin's good friend. We are here together today..."
"What? You actually brought your new love to my daughter!"
When Xu Pingxi heard this, she blew her beard and stared in anger.
He felt that he had finally found the reason why Xu Chuxiang was crying, and at the same time, he had already imagined a scene in which his daughter was snatched away by his best friend.
He, Lao Xu, has seen this kind of drama a lot. For example, his concubine in the thirteenth house and concubine in the fourteenth house are such good best friends.
"Tell me, what's wrong with my daughter, what's not good enough for you..."
Xu Pingxi yelled at Shu Guan, but suddenly paused slightly as he roared, seeming to remember Shu Guan's identity, so his momentum weakened a little.
My daughter is indeed worthy of anyone, but this is only for ordinary people.
So after calming down a little, Xu Pingxi continued to talk to Shu Guan in a consultative tone:
"Forget it, because my daughter likes you so much, you should break up with the other girl as soon as possible. As long as you can be my son-in-law, Xu Pingxi, Xu Pingxi will give you everything you want, even if you want it The two continents of Chu and Hunan, Lao Xu, I will give them to you as a dowry without even saying a word!"
Shu Guan stared at Xu Pingxi dumbfounded.
How could there be such a guy who takes it for granted? And judging from the old guy's posture at this time, it seems that he is ready to become his father-in-law.
Also, why does it seem like there is a little bit of joy underneath this old guy's angry expression?
Just when Shu Guan was about to clearly warn Xu Pingxi not to read his mind, the door to the study room suddenly opened.
The visitor didn't knock on the door.
Then a young face with long sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes peeked in from the outside.
"Those people from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun are here."
The young man looked inside and said lazily.
Xu Ping Xichao, who was originally his first choice for son-in-law, but has now fallen to the second position, nodded happily and said:
"Bring them here."
Then he said to Shu Guan:
"I'm going to meet a few guests first, and we'll talk about it later."
Shu Guan stood up and left immediately.
"There's nothing to talk about later. I'll leave later."
Shu Guan said this to Xu Pingxi, and then walked towards the door. He was going to find Rong Miao and ask if he could leave.
When they walked out of the study room, the young man in military uniform had not left yet, so they both looked at each other, and they seemed to be a little curious about the other person.
The reason for curiosity is exactly the same.
...This person should be Old Man Xu's subordinate, but why is his attitude so arrogant? How can Old Man Xu tolerate such subordinates? It's interesting...
...Who is this person? He talks so arrogantly to Old Man Xu. I have been with Old Man Xu for three years, and I have never seen anyone who dares to talk to Old Man Xu like this. Looking at Old Xu's thief look, he actually has no objection. It's interesting... …
This was the inner activities in Shu Guan and Ouyang Hai's hearts and their first impression of each other when they first met.
However, neither of them greeted each other.
But they all walked side by side towards the courtyard where the study was located.
The two walked side by side in silence for a while, and the road forked ahead.
So the two parted ways.
Shu Guan looked back and saw that the young soldier wearing a wrinkled military uniform and smelling strongly of alcohol was meeting a group of people from the Rising Sun Nation wearing kimonos.
"Consul Takeo Nakata, Marshal Xu is already waiting for you."
Just listen to what the young soldier said to the leader, a short but strong middle-aged man from the Sun Country with a cold face and sharp eyes.
...Is this the consul from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun's consulate in Jingcheng? Why did he come to Xu Pingxi...
Shu Guan remembered the news he had seen in Jingcheng Daily a few days ago, about the Rising Sun Kingdom's willingness to provide weapons assistance to Xu Pingxi and its willingness to provide Chuzhou with a huge low-interest loan, and quickly made a rough guess. Here comes the purpose of these Rising Sun people coming to Xu Pingxi.
...I guess today is here to force Xu Pingxi to express his stance...
Shu Guan didn't care if he thought so, but when his eyes casually glanced at the person following Takeo Nakata, his eyes suddenly froze.
It was a woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, wearing a light pink kimono.
This woman, like most women from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, has a petite and exquisite figure, but even if she is wearing a loose kimono, it can still be seen that although her figure is petite, she has perfect proportions, so she does not feel short.
In addition, this woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun has an extremely delicate and beautiful face. If she talks about her facial features alone, she is one of the most beautiful women Shu Guan has ever seen. She is also the same level as Zhang Yadan and Xu Chuxiang. Not even half inferior.
And this woman also has a pure and delicate temperament that I feel pity for. As long as you are a man, seeing this woman wearing a light pink kimono, it is difficult not to feel a sense of protectiveness.
Let's put it this way, if Zhang Yadan, Xu Chuxiang and this woman stood together, I am afraid that most men's eyes would fall on this woman first, and they would also find this woman the most attractive.
The same seemed to be true for Shu Guan. When he saw the woman, his eyes seemed to be glued to her body and he even stopped walking.
Where his gaze fell was on the chest of the woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
I have to say that although this woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is petite, the scenery is quite amazing and it is indeed easy for people to forget to leave.
In particular, the woman has a beautiful cherry blossom badge on her chest, which attracts even more attention.
The woman from the Rising Sun Kingdom in the distance seemed to feel that someone was staring at her, so she turned her head and looked towards Shu Guan.
Shu Guan had already turned around and left.
The scenery on the woman's chest was still lingering in his mind.
...That badge is exactly the same as the cherry blossom badge worn by Nishitani Taiji. The most important thing is that it also has weak spiritual energy fluctuations...
...So, is this woman also a member of the Black Dragon Society?
…
"Are you really not going to take my car back?"
"No, I just remembered that the informant in the case I'm dealing with now lives nearby. I want to ask him something. You and Uncle Li should go back first!"
"Then be careful."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
At the foot of the Lion Slope, Shu Guan waved goodbye to Rong Miao through the car window, and the white Beetle drove away quickly. After the car's shadow completely disappeared, Shu Guan silently affixed an invisibility charm to himself, and his figure also disappeared.
Soon after, Shu Guan returned to the door of Xu Manor again.
Because they left early, Xu Chuxiang's birthday party was not over yet, and there were still many vehicles parked outside the gate of the manor.
But the most eye-catching thing was the few black cars parked right in front of the gate. These black cars all had a small flag of the Rising Sun on the front.
Shu Guan came to the front door, sat directly on the tall white marble steps at the door, and began to wait.
He waited for about two hours.
In the meantime, the guests attending Xu Chuxiang's birthday party came out of the manor one after another, passed by Shu Guan, got into their respective vehicles and left.
By about eleven o'clock in the evening, only the few black cars, Shu Guan sitting on the steps, and two armed guards were left outside the gate.
The footsteps of a group of people came from behind.
Shu Guan looked back and saw that the person he was waiting for finally came out.
So he stood up, walked down the steps, and stood next to the black cars.
Takeo Nakata, the consul of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in Jingcheng, and others walked out of the gate of the manor, and it was the young soldier with the sword-browed starry eyes who escorted them out.
Takeo Nakata's face seemed to be very ugly. After going out, he walked directly to the first black car without talking to the young soldier.
This is a very rude thing for the people of the Rising Sun country who always pay great attention to etiquette.
Of course, the young soldier didn't seem to be polite. He just stood on the steps and lazily watched the Rising Sun people getting into the car.
On the other hand, the woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, who made me feel pity for me, turned around and bowed to the young soldier after walking down the steps.
"Ouyang Sang, please stay."
Then the woman stood up and smiled at the young soldier, then turned and walked into the first black car.
Just standing next to the black, Shu Guan noticed one detail.
That was when the woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun said goodbye with a smile. Her eyes crossed with the young soldier's.
A very strange look was exchanged between the two.
Then several black cars started and drove slowly down the Lion Slope.
Shuguan started running after those cars.
...If that woman from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is really a member of the Black Dragon Society, then this is a very important clue. He must follow it and see...
