Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 18: Have an appointment and not stay overnight (3)
Hua Fangyi saw Wang Jing's purpose at a glance and walked to the door first. She looked at Lu Ning and asked indifferently: "I didn't expect that such a heavy rain couldn't stop it. Gang Leader Lu drank in such a leisurely and elegant way!
"
Lu Ning was slightly startled, then cupped his fists and raised his hands, saying: "Miss Fangyi, I'm not here to drink today. I'm here to see someone..."
Hua Fangyi covered her mouth and smiled coldly, interrupting her and saying: "Most of the women who come to my place to look for people are Hakka ladies. Could it be that the husband of the Lu Gang leader is drinking and listening to music here?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it just flew into the ears of the drinkers in the annex. Everyone cast curious glances, looking forward to watching the fun.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Lu Ning's pink cheeks were slightly hot. She wanted to retort a few words, but she thought that she had broken the appointment today, and maybe Hua Fangyi was venting her anger on King Yi, so she had to hold it back.
Immediately she smiled faintly: "Miss Fangyi, I have an appointment with His Highness King Yi today, but something happened in the gang that hindered me. When I finished handling it, I went to find that His Highness had left. I came here to apologize. I don't know if His Highness has left.
here?"
Hua Fangyi rolled her eyes at her and said angrily: "The Lu gang leader also knows how to come to apologize! You are just a Jianghu gang leader, but you made His Royal Highness Yi Wang wait in the rain for so long. What a big deal! Could it be the matter of your caravan?
Is it more important than the prince’s affairs?”
It seems that King Yi got caught in the rain because he was waiting for him! Lu Ning felt even more apologetic, and quickly clasped his fists and raised his hands, saying:
"Sorry, I do have something unexpected that I have to deal with today. I didn't mean to miss the appointment on purpose. I wonder if you can allow me to go and apologize to His Highness in person?"
On the one hand, she was worried about Wang Jing's entanglement, and on the other hand, she didn't want her to see King Yi. Hua Fangyi dismissed her impatiently:
"If you apologize, it's better to avoid it! His Highness was soaked to the skin and fell ill when he came back. Besides, it was the prince you offended this time. Even if you apologize now, I'm afraid the prince doesn't want to see you, so you still
Go back quickly."
Lu Ning felt even more ashamed when she heard that Prince Yi fell ill because of her broken appointment. At the same time, she also understood that she had completely offended the prince. She was annoyed and helpless!
She had no choice but to take out a chess piece from her arms, put it in Hua Fangyi's hand, and said sincerely:
"The girl is right, I have caused trouble to His Highness. If His Highness King Yi has any grievances, please find me, Lu Ning, to settle the accounts. This matter has nothing to do with the caravan, so please do not implicate innocent people! In addition, I would like to apologize to the girl for being troubled.
Regardless of whether His Highness is willing to meet you or not, I will come to visit you again after Your Highness recovers and apologize in person."
Knowing clearly that Hua Fangyi did not welcome him, Lu Ning did not bother her. He just bowed his hands to her and said goodbye, then took the bamboo hat and Tutu and turned around to leave.
At the same time, Yu Fengjin happened to be slowly walking down the stairs, and was distracted by the noise at the door. But with a quick glance, she could only catch a glimpse of a bright red back, which quickly disappeared in the fine rain curtain.
Although the two had never met, they could tell Yu Fengjin that this figure belonged to the young leader of the caravan.
"Is that person just now the leader of the Lu Gang?"
Yu Fengjin's cold voice made Hua Fangyi, who was staring blankly at the chess pieces, turn around in panic, holding the chess pieces tightly behind her back, and asked with a panicked smile: "Your Highness, you... why are you down here? You are dripping wet."
You should take a good rest after it rains so heavily!"
"Is this the leader of the Lu Gang?" Yu Fengjin repeated her question again, but her tone was much stiffer than before, and she was obviously a little angry.
"Yes, yes. But she said there was something wrong with the gang, so she left again..." Hua Fangyi's beautiful eyes flickered, and the smile on her face was a little stiff.
Yu Fengjin stared at her expression and asked, "Did Gang Leader Lu leave anything for me?"
Hua Fangyi clutched the chess piece tightly behind her back, and unexpectedly shook her head:
"She wanted to see His Highness. I told her to wait a moment while you were changing clothes, but someone from the caravan suddenly came and called her away. She left in a hurry and didn't leave anything behind..."
She was used to talking to people and lying to ghosts, so she was very comfortable telling lies. But she felt a little guilty and did not dare to look directly into Yu Fengjin's eyes.
Yu Fengjin took a deep look at her. He knew she was lying, but he didn't reveal it out of love. At this point, he didn't want to say anything more and just turned around and left in silence. But he didn't notice that she was lying.
While the two were talking, Wang Jing, who had been staring at Lu Ning, had already chased him out the door with a wicked smile.
The guard Wang Jing held an umbrella and chased to the other side of the street. When he saw Lu Ning was about to walk into a vermilion door, Wang Jing shouted impatiently:
"That beautiful little lady, please stay!"
The noisy rain made his screams muffled. He shouted three times before Lu Ning turned around in confusion, trying to identify the face of the visitor through the fine rain curtain.
When the other person came closer, a wretched and obscene face with a deer-headed and rat-like eyes gradually became clearer. Lu Ning couldn't help but frown, feeling disgusted in her heart. She didn't know the identity of the visitor, but she saw that he was dressed in fine clothes and had a valuable necklace hanging on his belt.
Cat's eyes and night pearls, and two pieces of jade as big as pigeon eggs are inlaid on the boots, which means that the other party is either rich or noble and has an extraordinary status.
Could it be that he is King Yi? Lu Ning had doubts in his heart but did not dare to be rash, so he could only clasp his fists and raise his hands to him, and asked politely: "May I ask if you are calling me?"
Wang Jing jumped over like a cat, looked at Lu Ning unscrupulously, and smiled from ear to ear:
"What a pretty little lady! Of course I called you you, but you don't know that you have already taken my soul away from me in a quick glance at her in the annex!"
"So you are not His Highness Prince Yi?" Lu Ning was furious at his frivolous words, but still had the patience to confirm again.
"Oh, who is King Yi? I don't take him seriously at all. I am the commander of the Royal Guards Department, and Wang Su, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is my father! We, father and son, are famous people in front of the emperor. To put it bluntly,
When we cough, the whole court will tremble! King Yi doesn't have this ability!"
Wang Jing twirled the mustache on her lips, her eyebrows were dancing with joy as she spoke, and she was foaming at the mouth.
Knowing that the other party was not the one he wanted to wait for, Lu Ning's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly:
"I don't know the person you're talking about, and I'm not interested in knowing who you are."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. However, Wang Jing grabbed her sleeve and shouted:
"Don't leave, little lady! Knowing me will be of great benefit to you! As long as you mention my name in Shengjing, no one will dare to bully you. If you are willing to follow me from now on, you will have endless glory.
So rich!"
"Little thief! Let go! If you dare to touch my sister, I'll chop you!" Before Lu Ning could speak, Toto's eyes were widened and he raised the mace high. He saw that the thick mace was about to
If he falls down, this gang will beat Wang Jing to all sides.
The four strong men at the door were still quick-sighted and immediately stopped and hugged Totuo, blocking his falling hand, and shouted: "Toto, no! Don't offend this man! Otherwise, it will bring disaster to the caravan!"
Hearing this, Wang Jing became even more proud and his attitude became more presumptuous: "Say, little lady, your servants have seen the world! In the entire Shengjing City, the person you can't offend the most is me! As long as my father says a word, tomorrow
Your house and the people in it will all disappear, as if they never existed!"
This sentence awakened Lu Ning, and she immediately stopped Toto with words. Then, she pulled out a golden dagger from her boots. Just when everyone took a breath, they saw a golden light flashing in front of Lu Ning.
The knife cut off the corner of the sleeve held by Wang Jing.
Wang Jing grabbed a piece of red cloth and looked at Lu Ning carelessly. She saw her shaking the dagger in front of her and inserting it back into her boots. Then, a cold voice sounded:
"Master, please respect yourself! I am not a woman you can be frivolous with. Our caravan does not want to be enemies with others, but we are not soft persimmons who allow others to bully us. I will give up this time. If there is another time, I will be like this!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Jing took the red cloth, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and let out an admiration from deep in his body:
"It smells so good! It smells like gardenias! Grandpa, I have never touched a fierce little lady. It's really interesting! Grandpa is going to make you! You can't escape the palm of my hand!"
Molesting the young leader of the caravan is the same as humiliating the caravan! His words not only completely angered Totuo and Lu Ning, but even the four gatekeepers who were afraid of Wang Jing's identity had clear anger on their faces.
Everyone secretly clenched their fists, and it was just a thought that made them unable to take action!
"Hey, it's raining so hard, why don't you go home? Why do you have to stand in the rain to say something?"
A dissolute and frivolous laughter came from the direction of Xiaoxiang Villa. Everyone looked for the sound through the rain curtain, and saw a man in a white robe striding towards him holding an umbrella.
When the man came closer, he slightly raised the edge of the umbrella, revealing Yan Rong's handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
"Yan Rong, why is it you?" Seeing him, Wang Jing frowned, seemingly extremely dissatisfied.
Yan Rong laughed and walked up to Lu Ning, took out an invitation from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Lu Gang Leader, I was ordered to send you an invitation. His Highness King Yi learned that you were tied up by something today.
I would like to make an appointment with you tomorrow at the Xiaoxiang Villa. I hope you can come to the appointment."
"Definitely, I will definitely go to the appointment on time." Lu Ning took the invitation with both hands, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked carefully: "Excuse me, how is His Highness King Yi's illness? If you are too reluctant tomorrow, you can change it to another day..."
"Sickness?" Yan Rong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, Leader of the Lu Gang, there is no need to blame yourself. Your Highness just coughed a few times, it is not a serious illness."
"That's good." A stone finally fell from Lu Ning's heart, and his expression became much better than before.
"In that case, then Leader Lu should go back and rest early!" Yan Rong cupped his fists and raised his hands to Lu Ning, winking.
"Then I'll take my leave! Let's see you tomorrow!" Lu Ning immediately understood and hurriedly said goodbye, then turned around and hurried into the village building, and then closed the door.
"Yan Rong, you kid ruined my good deeds!" Wang Jing slapped Yan Rong on the shoulder and cursed through gritted teeth.
After watching Lu Ning leave, Yan Rong slowly turned around, scanned the area where he had photographed, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness has something you want me to bring to you..."
After that, he came close to Wang Jing and whispered a few words in a very low voice.
After hearing this, Wang Jing's face suddenly changed. He narrowed his eyes and said fiercely: "How dare you threaten me?"
Yan Rong still had a bohemian smile on his face, but he was saying: "You know whether it is a threat or not! In short, staying away from this woman will only do you good and not bad!"
"Ha." Wang Jing twirled his mustache, and suddenly sneered and said sarcastically: "Is it possible that King Yi also fell in love with this little lady, so he took action to protect her?"
Yan Rong touched his nose and said with a smile: "How can I know His Highness's thoughts? However, who can say for sure what will happen in the future! You don't want to compete with the prince for a woman, do you?"
Wang Jing glanced at the four strong men at the door with a gloomy face, and then looked at Yan Rong, who was smiling but not smiling. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only leave in embarrassment. But he was a man who would retaliate for his anger, and he had already remembered it in his heart.
