"Is this... too risky?" Yu Maosheng also lowered his voice along with He Nan.
He Nan shook his head and denied Yu Maosheng's point of view: "When it comes to taking risks, wouldn't it be more risky if we decided to make up the numbers in the first place? Now our plan is already to minimize the risk of being discovered. The only thing is not to The only determining factor is whether Senior Shenjian dares to risk his life to borrow the sword... But as long as I can contact this senior, junior, I am confident to convince him."
After listening to He Nan's words, Yu Maosheng still sighed softly and continued: "But if even a young man like Senior Excalibur is obtained by a thief, wouldn't it be..."
"As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We must use some desperate strategies to be effective - so this gimmick must be big and the show must be done. Enough." He Nan replied: "First of all, we have to ensure that they enter the trap. If the prey does not enter the net, wouldn't our careful arrangement be a complete waste?"
"I understand what you are thinking. I will write a letter explaining my intention tomorrow. Senior Yue should be able to receive it by the end of the year." Although there were still uneasy factors in his heart, Yu Maosheng finally decided to follow the instructions given by He. Try Nan's plan - it's fair to say that since we decided to use He Nan's plan from the beginning, it's better to let him show off his talents. Yu Maosheng also heard from his daughter that this young man is best at making decisions on the spot. It just so happens that I can use this matter to see how good this young man is.
Just when the two of them walked to a quiet place and whispered to discuss important matters, that day
The color finally darkened completely, but the lanterns hanging all over the Taiping Escort illuminated the courtyard like daylight. People from the kitchen were already bringing dishes to the table, but Yu Maosheng, the host, had not yet sat down. No one would be so ignorant as to use chopsticks first.
He Nan and others were all guests, so Yu Maosheng arranged the three of them at the sub-main table. Sitting together were all important members of the escort agency and the company. This was also to allow both parties to get acquainted with each other in advance for the next step. work, and because of Mr. Yu’s arrangement, several people suddenly became the center of attention.
It doesn't matter to He Nan, he has always been happy to be in this kind of atmosphere of being discussed, but this intense atmosphere started to go wrong...
Shengguo has a vast territory, so festival customs vary from place to place. For example, the most indispensable thing for northerners during the Chinese New Year is a meal of dumplings, but this is not the case in many areas in the south. However, most of the escorts in the Taiping Escort Agency are from outside the country, so both the north and south delicacies are included in tonight’s banquet. But after all, the chef is a local, and he is a master at cooking fish, shrimps, crabs and other fresh river products, which can be heavy on oil and salt. But it is not its specialty, so the taste of some northern dishes still does not fully meet the tastes of northerners.
At this time, He Nan was eating a plate of dumplings with meat and three delicacies that seemed a bit bland to him, when suddenly a middle-aged man at the same table came over with a wine bowl - He Nan had already eaten it the previous day. I met this person when I came back to visit Yu Mansion, and just now I paid tribute to this veteran who has made many contributions to the Taiping Escort Bureau.
The red envelope was handed out to none other than Wu Yin, the escort chief who had been following Mr. Yu all year round and even rescued the unconscious bureau chief during a robbery: "Boy, I heard that you like the daughter of our bureau chief?"
He Nan originally thought that Old Wu and he were both from the north, so he came here to resolve the melancholy of "being a stranger in a foreign land, missing his family even more during the holidays". He did not expect that the other party's opening remarks were so explosive, and suddenly He couldn't help but spit out everything in his mouth. Fortunately, he didn't react slowly and spit everything on the ground behind him, otherwise Mr. Chen who was next to him would have had a look on his face.
"Where...are you talking about this?" He Nan asked subconsciously - he was afraid that Lao Yu deliberately sent someone out to test him after hearing someone tell him about it, making it seem like he was trying to abduct him. It's like running away to help someone else's daughter.
Wu Biaotou pulled up a stool and sat in front of He Nan, but Mr. Chen, a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually wanted to see his brother's joke. He moved his buttocks in time to make some space and sat on the edge to watch Wu Yin torture He Nan. Nan: "If you don't have any interest in little Yu, why would you do such a big favor to us after you're full?"
Upon hearing this, He Nan couldn't help but wonder if this person was so full that he had nothing to do? But after all, this is a senior and a member of the Taiping Escort Agency, so he could only say vaguely: "Can't friends help each other?"
"So you think the future head of our Taiping Escort Agency is not worthy of you?" I don't know whether Wu Yin is really drunk, or whether he is hiding his smart brain under a stupid skin. In short, he
He said something that was most difficult for He Nan to refute.
"Of course Wansheng doesn't dare to think so. Xiao Yulan has a sweet heart and a graceful figure, which is more than enough for me." He Nan said quickly, not wanting to provoke this drunkard more in case the other party said something even more shocking.
"Hey! You are really a coward. You actually want to take advantage of our chief escort's daughter!" Wu Yin slapped He Nan on the back and said excitedly.
Wu Yin seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his volume had long been out of control. This thunderous roar directly attracted a lot of attention - in the eyes of others, this kind of scene is not what it is. , just like a story about He Nan whispering to Wu Yin and being exposed.
There are nearly 200 people in the large courtyard of Taiping Escort Bureau. No matter men, women, old or young, it is inevitable to drink some wine to celebrate. Once people drink, they will enter a state of flushed face, hot ears, and dizziness. , even if martial arts masters can use internal force to force alcohol out of the body, more than half of the two hundred people do not have that ability, so this sudden hot topic will change its appearance every time it is spread.
"Hey, have you heard? Our lady seems to have taken a liking to that boy!"
"Huh? Which boy? The pretty boy with thin skin and tender flesh? Or the big guy?"
"No, it's the one who looks haggard and has disheveled hair!"
"I heard that in addition to helping the escort agency recover lost property, he is also planning to propose marriage to a girl from the Yu family!"
"Proposing marriage? You heard it wrong, right? I just heard Lao Li say that it was actually a marriage proposal.
relative! Just waiting for our auction to end, Mr. Yu will marry the girl to this young man! "
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. This sudden and accidental event, which was originally very simple, has turned into a definite wedding event under the public exaggeration. Moreover, the rumor has become more and more intense, and it has spread to Yu Yu in just a few words. In the ears of the family.
Yu Maosheng and Mu Jiao were very calm. They also realized that these words were just drunken talk. In fact, it was not necessarily what happened. They just put their daughters on the left and right in the middle and chatted about He Nan. On the contrary, the younger brother Yu Taiping behaved more enthusiastically. This little guy also drank some wine, but it was obvious that he had not exercised his drinking ability. After listening to some conversations between his parents and sister, he started to fill up the wine jar. He ran around the yard, chasing after He Nan's "brother-in-law".
After half the night of drinking and drinking, the farce finally came to an end. He Nan also had a rare moment of peace, grabbed some leftovers and went to eat alone on the roof.
"I knew you were here." He Nan was slurping the broth in the bowl, and Xiao Yu sat next to him silently - Xiao Yu had heard of He Nan when he was at He Nan's old house. He loves stories about climbing on rooftops, so he naturally knows where he will take shelter when faced with such a dilemma.
"What, are you... here to force us into marriage?" He Nan stuck the bowl between the two tiles and looked at Xiao Yu with his arms folded.
"I think you're quite enjoying it!" Xiao Yu imitated He Nan's example and pretended to sneer: "What happened when we were eating just now?
Didn't I realize you were so thick-skinned? "Ever since Wu Yin's words caused a noisy scene, Xiao Yu's eyes almost never left He Nan. At first, this guy would arrest everyone and explain to everyone, but later he would just nod his head vigorously to everyone who asked. He was completely lost. The arrogant and domineering arrogance that he usually displays when talking nonsense to others.
"One moment and another, I really didn't realize this just now... I took the opportunity to think about it now, and it seems that the result is really good!" He Nan looked at Xiao Yu mischievously, The corners of the mouth are almost open behind the ears.
"Hmph, I dare to marry, but do you really dare to marry?" Xiao Yu said angrily.
"Three letters and six appointments, eight sedans, a phoenix crown and a beautiful robe, and the matchmaker is getting married." He Nan suddenly became serious, and just as Xiao Yu's expression gradually became serious, this wretched man suddenly changed his attitude: "When the time comes, let me Mr. Chen plays matchmaker, Old Wei carries the sedan chair, and Brother Yan plays the gongs and drums, do you think it’s okay?”
"Then don't regret it." Yu Ruyi's eyes sparkled.
