Hearing Xu Nantian's address to him, Zhou Xian's mouth twitched several times, but he did not get angry. Instead, he automatically ignored Xu Nantian and looked at Qiu Lin, who was standing behind Xu Nantian.
"Qiu Hou, it turns out you are here too." Zhou Xian walked around Xu Nantian and greeted Qiu Lin with a smile.
Qiu Lin dodged Zhou Xian's extended hand, frowned at Zhou Xian, and asked, "Steward Zhou, why did you come to Shanhe City?"
Hearing Qiu Lin's words, Zhou Xian showed a smile in his eyes and said: "Qiu Hou, isn't it that Young Master Lang and Miss Qiu Xue are about to get married? I am following the order of the Marquis to invite Marquis Xu to attend the ceremony.
."
As he spoke, Zhou Xian looked at Xu Nantian, with a faint smile appearing in his mean eyes.
"It's just that Marquis Xu doesn't seem to welcome my arrival."
Qiu Lin frowned and was about to speak, but at this moment, Xu Nantian spoke first: "I, Xu Nantian, naturally welcome guests very much, but if they have ulterior motives, our Xu family will naturally not welcome them."
Zhou Xian chuckled softly and said: "Hou Xu's words are serious. I, Mr. Zhou, am just a messenger. I don't even have time to respect you, Hou Xu, so how can I have ulterior motives?"
Xu Nantian had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Although he is sometimes crazy, he is very sober at this moment. He knows very well that Zhou Xian's sudden arrival in Shanhe City will not do anything good.
Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn, Qiu Lin coughed a few times, deliberately changed the topic, and chatted wordlessly with Zhou Xian.
At the same time, he gave instructions to Ye Lingshu on the side and asked her to prepare food.
After sitting down, Qiu Lin looked at Zhou Xian, frowned and asked, "Since it's a ceremony, Brother Wanyan should have given you the invitation. Take it out."
However, when he finished speaking, Zhou Xian spread his hands and said innocently: "Invitation? What kind of invitation? I don't know. Before I came, the Marquis only asked me to bring a sentence to Xu Hou.
.”
When Xu Nantian heard this, he looked at Zhou Xian, frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Xian smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea on the table, then looked at Xu Nantian and said: "The Marquis asked me to tell you that the day of Mr. Wolf's wedding will be very lively. You are his sworn brother. He
Please be sure to go to Potian City to watch the ceremony, maybe you can meet some acquaintances there." After hearing Zhou Xian's words, Xu Nantian remained calm on the surface, but felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart.
In his impression, his sworn brother Wanyan Xia Rong was a righteous and upright man. How could he let Zhou Xian say such words to him?
Inexplicably, Xu Nantian's mind recalled what Zhang Yifeng had said to him before leaving Baizhan City.
Zhang Yifeng told him at that time that his son Xu Dao was murdered by Pingluan Hou Wanyan Xia Rong. At that time, he did not believe it because he did not think that his sworn brother would do such a thing to him.
But now, Wanyan Xiarong's various behaviors made him a little confused.
Qiu Lin looked at Zhou Xian and asked with a slightly unhappy look: "Brother Wanyan really didn't ask you to come with the invitation?"
Zhou Xian shook his head and said with a half-smile: "Although Mr. Zhou is appreciated by the Marquis, he still dare not do anything to deceive others."
When Qiu Lin heard this, he immediately fell silent.
He sighed slightly in his heart. It seemed that Wanyan Xiarong was still brooding over the deaths of his two sons.
In the Dali Kingdom, the more distinguished a person is, the more they pay attention to etiquette. For a happy event like a wedding, when you invite someone to watch the ceremony, you will definitely bring an invitation, especially if the person is a Marquis who was once a powerful person.
However, Zhou Xian did not bring any invitation, nor did he have the necessary etiquette. This was obviously Wanyan Xia Rong expressing dissatisfaction with Xu Nantian.
At this time, Ye Lingshu walked in from outside the door.
Ye Lingshu looked at everyone and said calmly: "Let's eat first."
Qiu Lin nodded and was about to speak to Zhou Xian, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak first at this time.
"Zhou knew that he was not welcome here, so he stopped eating. Now that I have brought the message, I also ask Marquis Xu to be sure to reward you. The Marquis has prepared a big gift for you."
After Zhou Xian finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door.
"Go back and tell Brother Wanyan that on the day of Wanyanlang's wedding, I, Xu Nantian, will definitely come to congratulate you in person."
Just when Zhou Xian was about to reach the door, Xu Nantian's voice came into his ears.
Hearing Xu Nantian's words, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhou Xian's lips, and then left without looking back.
After Zhou Xian left, Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin looked at each other, and both saw a dignified look in each other's eyes.
Qiu Lin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Brother Wanyan never believed that Xu Dao was dead. Now it seems that he is determined to lure Xu Dao out and kill him."
Xu Nantian nodded solemnly, Qiu Lin's worries were not his worries.
However, he didn't have a good solution for a while now. After all, it was impossible for Wanyan Xiarong to let go of the hatred of killing her son.
"Old Xu, we must find a way to inform Xu Dao now and tell him never to come back." Ye Lingshu's slightly anxious voice rang in the ears of Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin.
Xu Nantian's eyes brightened, but then dimmed again just for a moment.
"This may be the only way now, but how can we ensure that we can notify him?" Xu Nantian said in a deep voice.
In order to prevent Wanyan Xia Rong from seeing any flaws, they completely cut off contact with Zhang Yifeng after Zhang Yifeng left Baizhan City. Now they don't know where Zhang Yifeng is.
Ye Lingshu looked at Qiu Lin anxiously and asked, "You are usually the most careful, but now Xu Dao's safety can only be counted on you."
Seeing the look of expectation in Ye Lingshu's eyes, Qiu Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Brother Wanyan is determined to kill his nephew this time, and he also moved all the twenty-two princes.
Come out, now I don’t have any good ideas, things have happened so far, we can only hope that he will not go to Potian City."
Having said this, Qiulin paused and continued: "Of course, we can't sit still and wait for death. Although we don't know where Xu Dao is now, we can leave manpower on the only way to Potian City to let them
Give a warning to Xu Dao."
Xu Nantian and Ye Lingshu nodded after hearing this. What Qiu Lin just said may be the best way now.
"As for the rest, everything goes as planned."
Afterwards, Qiu Lin and Xu Nantian discussed the specific details and then left Shanhe City and returned to Baizhan City.
As for Qiu Xue, she did not return with him, but stayed in Shanhe City after Ye Lingshu's efforts to persuade him.
