Red ears

Zhaixingyuan, welcoming living room.

A young man of about nineteen years old, wearing light brown flowing pattern and embroidery, was sitting in the upper hall. The falcon ring on his thumb was being caressed and played with unconsciously with the pad of his index finger.

Coupled with his dull expression, with his eyes lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking, it gave people a sense of oppression for no reason.

"Your Highness Prince An, my third young master has arrived."

The maid's voice made Lou Heng raise his black eyes and look at the door.

The ice-blue fox fur draped over the shoulders of the young man standing not far away had a lot of snowflakes on it, and the straight bridge of his nose and the right hand holding the jade-colored blind stick were both slightly red from the cold.

Si Yi refused the help of the maid, and relied on the blind stick in his hand to walk step by step to the outline of a human figure that he could see. He folded his hands in front of him and bent down to salute: "I didn't know that His Royal Highness Prince An was here, but I didn't expect you to greet him from afar.

"

Lou Heng looked at the lifeless eyes of the person in front of him, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and reached out to help Si Yi: "Third Young Master, there is no need to be polite. I am not here to do any official business in your Star Picking Courtyard today.

I have some personal matters that I want to talk to you about."

As he spoke, Lou Heng glanced at the servants and maids waiting in the room. Even without saying anything, Si Yi used the intuition he had developed over the years to guess Lou Heng's intentions.

After standing up straight, he calmly said to the servants: "You all can go down."

"yes."

As soon as the servants left, the only people left in the reception room were Lou Heng and Cai Xueliang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who followed him in.

Cai Xueliang received the hint from Lou Heng's eyes and quickly stepped forward and saluted Si Yi: "Your Majesty Cai Xueliang has met the Third Young Master. I have taken the liberty to come here this time. Please don't blame the Third Young Master. It is really an emergency.

It has to be like this.”

"It turns out it's Cai Sikong. You don't have to be polite. After all, I'm just a commoner without an official position. I can't compare to a second-grade official like you." Although Si Yi said polite words, there was nothing on his face.

There is no respect due to meeting higher-ranking officials.

Just because of their rank, these officials may be of some use in the capital.

But far away from the Emperor, in the Eternal Cold City where his biological father almost controlled all the power, it was of no use, so he was not afraid.

After the two of them were polite, Si Yi sat down on the mahogany lamp-hanging chair with a blind stick in his hand. He used many years of habit to find the location of the teapot, lifted the teapot and poured himself some tea.

The tea poured into the cup and made a splashing sound as it hit the wall of the cup. The steaming white mist rose with it, making Si Yi's cold face unclear.

Lou Heng took this opportunity to reveal the main purpose of his visit to the Star-Zhaing Yuan this time: "I heard that some high-quality bluestones were recently excavated from the Xique Mountain under the jurisdiction of the Third Young Master. I wonder if the Third Young Master has ever thought about this.

How should things be dealt with?”

With the help of his good ear, Si Yi stopped his hand in time when the tea was seven minutes full. When the smoke dissipated, he covered the warm wall of the cup with his hands, lowered his eyes and replied in a clear voice:

"Bluestone is the main material for making weapons in Xiding. It is not an ordinary ore. Therefore, I have to think twice about its destination. His Highness An Wang specially brought Cai Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry here today. There should be more than just people who want to rule for him.

The Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is seeking profit, right?"

Lou Henglai had only heard that although Si Yi's eyes were diseased, he was extremely loved by the Lord of Eternal Cold City, and he didn't understand why.

Now after listening to Si Yi's guess, he quickly understood something. He chuckled and did not deny it: "That's right, these bluestones are very important to me at the moment. If you are willing to join forces with me, you can become the Lord of Si City.

The possibility of the designated successor will increase, what do you think?"

Lou Heng was sent to Eternal Cold City by King Feng at the age of sixteen. It has now been three years. In these three years, while his forces have struggled to take root in Eternal Cold City, he has also gained a general understanding of the situation in the city.

It is known that the three half-sons of the city lord of Eternal Cold City have been competing openly and secretly for the opportunity to inherit the city lord's position in the future.

Although Si Yi has sick eyes and has the fewest connections with the forces in the city, it does not mean that there is no usable value at all, such as the Xique Mine in his hands.

"His Royal Highness Prince An seems to be very familiar with the situation in your family, but not everyone wants this so-called designated successor." Si Yi said, listening to the sound of rain falling to the ground outside, he stood.

Got up.

"It's raining, and the road is slippery in rain and snow. If you two don't set off, the return trip will be more difficult."

Lou Heng heard the rejection in Si Yi's words. Although he was rather angry, he did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he glanced coldly at Cai Xueliang aside: "It seems that today is not the right time. I and Cai Sikong will come again next time."

.”

"I'll give you two a treat."

"No need, just stay."

Cai Xueliang followed Lou Heng out of the Star-Zhaining Courtyard and got on the carriage for the return journey. He was very puzzled: "His Royal Highness, Prince An, why don't you ask your subordinate to explain the benefits that can be given to him in more detail?"

"He doesn't even give me face, so why do you think he will listen to what you say?" Lou Heng snorted coldly and glanced at Cai Xueliang as if he were an idiot.

"Since there can be no progress in this matter for the time being, let's see if we can find the token that General Gong gave to Lou Huai that can summon the elite black-armored soldiers."

Lou Heng's gloomy voice was drowned by the heavier rain and sleet outside, and gradually became less clear.

The other end.

In order to save the recovered magic power, Zuo Weiyue was not willing to use magic to get herself a rain shield. Instead, she picked a huge leaf on the road to cover her head and face.

But even so, the snow particles and rain and wind hit her extremely uncomfortable.

When she returned to the cave halfway up Baihe Mountain on the flying magic carpet, she looked like a drowned rat. There were also a lot of red marks on her face and exposed white arms.

When Lou Huai saw her coming back, he put the clothes he had washed with melted snow water on the wooden rack, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at her empty flying magic carpet, frowned and asked her: "Didn't you get anything?

"

Zuo Weiyue thought that she was already in this state, and Lou Huai had to ask about her situation first. She never thought that his first reaction would be to ask her if she had brought the supplies back.

After being shocked, she raised her eyes to look at him angrily. Just when she was about to scold him for being inhumane, her eyes were caught by the stunning scene of his naked chest, wet black hair, and half of his face hidden in the reflection of the firelight.

attract.

"you"

As the girl murmured, Lou Huai without changing his expression picked up a set of spare clothes that he had left before leaving the carriage, and put on a white undershirt in front of Zuo Weiyue.

The water droplets on his hair were imprinted on the thin clothes, revealing the obvious muscle lines on his body. Zuo Weiyue's ears turned red and she swallowed hard.

Zuo Weiyue: It’s really outrageous%￥#*

Wet Lou Huai appears: What did you say?
