"He is Zhao Chen. He looks so young, probably less than twenty."
"It's definitely not. I'm so young, so talented, and so handsome. My heart is about to be slim."
"I don't know which girl would be so lucky to be his wife."
"Didn't everyone say it's right? The daughter of Duke Li Jing of Wei is now pregnant and is about to give birth."
"Ah? I thought I still had a chance?"
"You don't dream of such a dream, okay."
On both sides of the hall, the maid of Xue's family who was responsible for serving was talking in a low voice.
But his eyes were staring at Zhao Chen.
Under the leadership of Miss Xue's family, they were illiterate and could not read the verbal books, but they could listen a lot.
I have longed for seeing Zhao Chen in my heart.
Now that I saw it, the maids were even more surprised.
At such an age, he has such talent.
Which man in Dingzhou City can compare with it?
"You guys go down first, don't serve you." Xue Wanche felt a little embarrassed.
His own maid is so interested in Zhao Chen.
It's not a good thing for him.
The fortresses were all captured from the inside.
He didn't want Zhao Chen to figure it out.
The maids left reluctantly, and only Zhao Chen, Cheng Chumo and Xue Wanche were left in the hall.
"You two come from afar, drink a glass of wine to relieve your fatigue." Xue Wanche raised his glass and said with a smile to the two of them.
"Then I thank General Xue first." Zhao Chen raised his glass.
Cheng Chumo, who was beside him, didn't say anything, but drank the wine in his glass.
"Haha, the little duke is really generous." Xue Wanche smiled.
"Come on, I'll give another cup to the little duke." Xue Wanche raised his glass again.
Zhao Chen understood clearly.
Xue Wanche obviously didn't want him to ask about Li Yuanji.
Then he drank with Cheng Chu silently.
"Xue..."
"Zhao Chen, drink, don't worry about anything except drinking today." Xue Wanche interrupted Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen frowned.
Watching the two of you coming and going in front of you.
After drinking for three rounds, Cheng Chumo snored like thunder while lying on the table.
Xue Wanche also leaned half on the table.
"Mr. Zhao, please sign a name for me?" The voice of the maid Xiao Cui came from behind.
Zhao Chen turned around and saw the maid from Xue's house holding a copy of the Wangyou Bookstore in her hand and handed it to him.
"You are the maid in the carriage yesterday." Zhao Chen looked at Xiao Cui and said.
"Ah, yes, Mr. Zhao, we didn't even happen yesterday..."
Zhao Chen waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Cui's words to explain.
"You can sign, you have to answer me a question," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Ah, okay, don't talk about one question, I will answer you even if there are ten." Xiao Cui didn't expect Zhao Chen to agree to sign for himself so easily.
If you get this signature later.
I don't know how many people I will envy to die.
"Have your master met strangers for a while, or received letters from other places?" Zhao Chen asked.
Since Li Yuanji is not dead, it is unlikely that Xue Wanche will not contact Li Yuanji.
Since we are in contact, we will naturally have someone coming here or contact us by letter.
There should also be a fixed time period.
"This... Mr. Zhao, Xiao Cui has never seen anyone's words, and the lady handed over to the master's family if she wrote letters, and Xiao Cui didn't know." Xiao Cui was a little disappointed.
She didn't even help Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen would definitely not sign her.
I was still thinking about showing off in front of those little sisters, now...
"Okay." Zhao Chen nodded, took the brush from Xiao Cui's hand, and wrote his name on the title page of the storybook.
"Mr. Zhao, you..."
"You have answered my question, this is the reward you promised." Zhao Chen smiled and left with the drunk Cheng Chumo.
...
Old Li was a little nervous this day.
He didn't even have a appetite for eating, and kept thinking in his heart that if Zhao Chen knew that he had been hiding it from him.
How do I explain this to Zhao Chen?
"Luotong, is there any news in the city back?" the emperor asked Luo Tong outside.
This tormenting moment made Lao Li restless.
"Not yet." Luo Tong's answer was also very simple.
The emperor tried to push open the door several times and headed into the city, but he endured it again.
Zhao Chen should have returned to the inn from Xue Wanche at this moment, and Xue Wanche really wants to tell Zhao Chen's identity out of his mind.
It’s useless to say anything when you pass by yourself.
"Luo Tong, if there is any news, please inform me as soon as possible." Old Li and Luo Tong said.
"Okay, shopkeeper, sir is here." Luo Tong's voice came from outside the door.
Old Li's steps, which were originally walking back and forth, suddenly stopped.
After a moment of silence, I heard a knock on the door outside.
Before he could speak, the door opened and Zhao Chen walked in without an expression on his face.
When Lao Li saw Zhao Chen's appearance, he felt a little cold.
If Zhao Chen hadn't known what he had hidden from him, how could this expression come over?
At this moment, Old Li was thinking about how to explain this to Zhao Chen.
But the more I think about it, the more chaotic I become, the more I feel a little drowsy.
"Old Mr. Li, everything has been found out."
"Li Yuanji is indeed alive!" Zhao Chen sat down and said to the emperor.
"Yes." The emperor nodded in a daze.
"Um?"
"Are you okay? Is your brain twitching?" Zhao Chen frowned. When he came in, he felt something was wrong with Old Li's head.
He is worried, as if he is particularly afraid of something happening.
Worrying that Li Yuanji will die?
Or something else?
"It's okay, as long as Yuan Ji is still alive." The emperor came to his senses and asked Zhao Chen tentatively: "Didn't Xue Wanche tell you anything else?"
"What did you say?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor suspiciously.
"say what?"
"Of course, it's where Yuan Ji is now, you guys won't ask." The emperor reacted.
What he was worried about shouldn't have happened.
I should have escaped.
But Zhao Chen's suspicious expression just now, if he didn't take the lead, he would probably be suspected.
Now, the emperor questioned Zhao Chen with great momentum.
"Old Li, your brain won't be broken, will Xue Wanche leak Li Yuanji's location to me?"
"You are so powerful, wouldn't it be better to yell at Xue Wanche?"
"Do you see if he lets you enter the mansion?" Zhao Chen was very unhappy with the emperor's attitude.
It was clearly because he begged to do his own business, so why did he scold himself?
If you, Old Li, are so capable, just ask Xue Wanche if it's just right.
Seeing that Zhao Chen was no longer looking at him suspiciously, Old Li was relieved quietly.
He smiled and said in an apology tone: "I'm a little anxious."
"You guys are more generous, aren't that just?"
"Old Li, you are a little strange today." Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and said casually.
But it scared Lao Li to the point of being so shocked.
"I'm not concerned about Yuan Ji's affairs, and I'm inevitably worried about gains and losses."
