Tang Ji was a little confused. People he met before, whether they were officials like Yan Jiong or rich young men like Lin Zican, would always call Li Yu His Highness Prince You. Is it possible that the woman in front of him dared to call him by his name directly?
What kind of royal relatives are they?
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and replied in a calm tone: "Go back to General Song, we know each other."
Song Yao also seemed to remember something and suddenly realized: "Master Tang, I understand, you are Tang Ji, right?"
Hearing this, the corner of Tang Ji's mouth twitched. When he asked the question on the road just now, he had already answered the other party's name, but she didn't expect that she didn't listen at all. But as the saying goes, a good man doesn't fight with a woman, so he nodded politely, and then
Planning to leave with Jiang Ran and the others.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, an anxious voice came from the main hall.
"Tang Ji! Tang Ji!"
Then, Li Yu rushed in with anxious steps, walked straight to Tang Ji, and asked: "How are you? Are you okay? Where are those damn assassins?"
Seeing that so many Buddhas had been invited in one day, Yan Jiong couldn't help but panic, and he quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "See His Highness King You."
"No courtesy, I've heard everything. Please interrogate the assassin who was captured alive!" Li Yu's face looked a little angry. If it weren't for those damn assassins, he wouldn't have eaten until now.
After giving the instructions, he planned to take Tang Ji back to cook, but suddenly he saw Song Yao standing aside and hesitated: "Yao, sister Yao, why are you here?"
Song Yao changed her previous state, put her hands on her waist, her eyebrows were slightly lowered, and she replied softly like a little daughter: "I happened to be passing by on the street and saved Mr. Tang and Miss Jiang."
Seeing her look like this, Tang Ji, who was called "little pretty face" not long ago, was stunned on the spot, and even Jiu'er behind him opened his mouth in surprise.
Tang Ji leaned towards Li Yu and lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Yu, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head a few times, and replied: "No...it's okay, Sister Yao, I'll take you back. For Tang Ji, I have arranged escorts, and they will take you back."
Back to Linxi Lane, we will talk about the specific things tomorrow. Goodbye, goodbye, and Madam-in-law, bah, Miss Jiang, no, no, Sister Jiang, you should also have a good rest!"
As he spoke, he had already pulled Song Yao out of the back hall and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Seeing him running away, Tang Ji became more suspicious. He glanced at Yan Jiong standing beside him and asked with a smile: "Master Yan, who is General Song? What is his relationship with Li Yu?"
?”
Yan Jiong came back to his senses, but after hearing Tang Ji's question, he pretended to be stupid again and said, "Well, come here, call Wu Xian Cheng and Zhao Xian Lieutenant. Let's interrogate the assassin overnight...
.”
What a joke, talking about the royal family behind their back, or with Tang Ji, if he spills the beans tomorrow, he won't have enough heads to cut off!
After saying this, he led the people towards the front hall.
"Hey... who are these people..." Tang Ji didn't get the melon and looked a little resentful.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran stroked his lips and snickered twice, and explained: "I know a little bit about this."
In an instant, Tang Ji's interest was piqued again and he asked: "How do you say it?"
"Then should you explain to me what's going on at Ji Ran's Bookstore?" Jiang Ran winked playfully, and then walked towards the front hall.
Tang Ji reacted and quickly caught up to explain: "Ah, didn't you come up with the idea of opening a bookstore? And don't you think Ji Ran Bookstore is very nice? Li Yu didn't even ask for it..."
Not long after, the three of them got on the carriage of Prince You. In addition to the palace guards, Pang Qing also followed closely to escort them to prevent the escaped assassins from attacking again.
In the carriage, Tang Ji stared closely at Jiang Ran, waiting for her to tell the story she knew. The latter shook his head. There was really nothing he could do, so he explained softly: "I also heard about it when I was an oiran. It is said that
King You, Li Yu, was demoted to Huaizhou for hiding his dragon robe. At that time, there was a woman in the capital. She was both civil and military, and had a fourth-rank official position. She was the only female general in the Ning Kingdom. However, she was willing to demote herself as the defender of Huaizhou for the sake of King You.
However... King You didn't seem to like her, and he wrote several times to ask the Holy Lord to recall her. Later, rumors spread and she was eventually banned by the government. Now it seems that this female general is Song Yao."
After hearing the explanation, Tang Ji opened his mouth in shock and sighed: "I didn't expect that Li Yu is still a scumbag!"
"Bah, you heartless man!" Jiu'er crossed her arms over her chest. If the lady hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it!
Jiang Ran glanced at her and motioned her to keep her voice down. After all, they were still riding in Prince You's carriage.
Jiu'er, however, grabbed Tang Ji's arm nonchalantly and said, "Mr. Tang, you must not let down my young lady in the future."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran quickly grabbed her, covered her mouth, and said with a blushing face: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiu'er shook his head disapprovingly. The young lady and Mr. Tang obviously liked each other, but they just didn't want to break the window paper, so she would have to be the Yue Lao!
Tang Ji chuckled lightly, glanced at the little girl, but what happened not long ago came to mind, and sighed: "I'm sorry, I should have picked you up earlier today, otherwise Lin Zican wouldn't have taken advantage of her."
Jiang Ran shook his head and replied with some self-blame: "If I hadn't watched Jiu'er, I wouldn't have caused you to come out to find us and meet the assassin. I should have apologized, but what on earth is going on?
?Why would a killer want to kill you?"
Tang Ji himself was confused about this matter, and he didn't know who the original owner had offended, or Yan Jiong, who asked him to help check his identity, but he told himself that there was no one named Tang Ji in Yunhuai County...
...This made him suspect that the original owner might have a different name than him.
After thinking for a while, Tang Ji roughly explained the ins and outs of the story, using amnesia to cover any unclear explanations.
After Jiang Ran heard this, he silently released his hand covering Jiu'er and asked in a low voice: "So, you asked Master Yan to help you check your identity not to leave, but to investigate the identity of the murderer."
"Leave?" Tang Ji then remembered that she asked Yan Jiong to investigate her identity that day. She always looked distracted at night. She chuckled and continued: "Where are you going? Mr. Yan said that there is no one like me in Yunhuai County, so I
Now I don’t even know who I am, so I hope Ms. Jiang has a lot of people and doesn’t drive me away!”
Hearing this, Jiang Ran suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if a stone he had been carrying fell to the ground. He took a deep breath and said softly: "If Mr. Tang doesn't mind..."
Jiu'er snorted and said quickly: "He won't mind. Miss, you don't know him. When this guy was sleeping in the kitchen a few days ago, he made midnight snacks in the middle of the night!"
"Hey? What's the matter with you? Didn't you promise to keep it a secret? You actually betrayed me, and you still had the nerve to say, didn't you also eat two of my chicken legs at that time?" Tang Ji followed the little girl's example, folded his hands on his chest, and replied.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Ran snickered and said cooperatively: "Oh, and the next morning you told me that the chicken was stolen. It turns out that the thief was you two!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Listening to the laughter coming from the car, Pang Qing, who was driving, shook his head helplessly. They almost lost their lives today, but these three people were still able to laugh.
However, looking at the opponent's strength, Tang Ji must have offended some important person. He must quickly report to his lady and send more experts to eliminate the hidden danger that escaped today!
