Chapter 58 Interesting
The wooden strips slapped on the table with a "snap" sound, attracting the attention of everyone in the lobby.
The storyteller started to act like a master, with a loud voice and a steady breath, "It is said that since the master of Mingyue Pavilion jumped off the cliff, there has been no news.
Whether he is alive or dead has not yet been determined. Now everyone is looking for it, but there is no trace..."
"Eh~"
Someone suddenly started shouting in the hall, "You keep talking about these things, and after listening to them for a long time, I still haven't heard any results."
"Yes, what happened to the Pavilion Master? What's next?"
One word spoken, a thousand words spoken.
The storyteller suddenly blushed, and slapped the wooden stick again, "Aren't you still looking for it? As the saying goes, if you are alive, you will see the person, and if you are dead, you will see the body. How can we make a conclusion without even seeing a corner of the clothes?
"
The audience was in an uproar again, with small groups of twos and threes whispering to each other.
There were murmurs of discussion through the open window, reaching the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Yiheng sat upright, gently rubbing the teacup with his calloused fingertips, following the complicated lines on the jade.
After a while, he took a sip of tea and asked, "No news at all?"
Yang Chu shook his head, "Our people are also looking for it, but they haven't been found yet."
"Hmph," Xiao Yiheng snorted, "Even if he was dragged away by a jackal, tiger and leopard, he should have left traces of clothing and blood. How come there are no traces at all?"
"Your Highness, you mean that she was rescued?"
"Maybe."
Xiao Yiheng squinted his eyes and couldn't think of the second possibility.
"Well, there's nothing unusual about this," he paused, "It's impossible for a woman to be the master of the pavilion for many years without any backup plans. She might be hiding somewhere to recover from her injuries at the moment."
Mingyue Pavilion has been standing in the capital for so many years. If there were no means, I am afraid that it would have been divided up long ago without any bones left. How could it have achieved its current glory?
However, with Nan Zhen missing, it is hard to say how long Mingyue Pavilion can last.
He slowly put down his cup, stopped dwelling on the topic, and asked, "Where's the Wei family? I heard that General Wei, an ingenious man, wants to compete with his granddaughter to find a bride. Have you found any good ones?"
There was a hint of smile in his voice, but his eyes were still very cold, as if he were watching a joke.
Yang Chu replied, "I haven't heard of anyone having such luck so far. However, Miss Wei's skills are very good, and most people fail to get good results under her hands."
It was very lively at that time. Although he was not in the capital, he heard reports from his subordinates.
Almost half of the city went to see it, and the Wei family was completely surrounded. In the end, the palace guards had to be mobilized to evacuate the crowd.
"interesting."
The corners of Xiao Yiheng's eyes raised slightly, and he tapped lightly on the solid wood table with his fingers, making a dull sound.
Wei Jianen and Nan Tianheng are equally famous, and they are close friends. They wore armor together to fight against foreign enemies, and created many good stories.
After Nantian Heng disbanded his armor and returned to his fields, there was no news from him again. Wei Jianen also handed over his military power and stopped paying attention to the affairs of the court. He even stayed away from the fight between him and Xiao Rongxi.
It's not like he hadn't thought about wooing him before, but he was really annoyed when the other party didn't get enough of him.
Xiao Yiheng suddenly raised his eyes, "Can the Wei family send someone for the reception banquet tomorrow?"
He remembered that Xiao Rongxi was also fighting for the Wei family's piece of cake, and they would not be left out of this business.
"The Wei family is among those invited, but as for who will go, we don't know yet."
Wei Jianen had two sons, both of whom were officials in the court, but they did not hold important positions, and their intention to avoid suspicion was obvious.
Yang Chu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, what if they don't go?"
