That night, Yue Yunfeng, together with Huang Puchuan, Dugu Zong, and Murong Qiu, went to Bai Yuchuan's house for a banquet. High-speed update
In order to show his sincerity, Yue Yunfeng also prepared several generous gifts in advance and delivered one to Bai Yuchuan's house.
The person who came out to greet them was Butler Li from the Baihou Mansion in the imperial capital, a slightly stout middle-aged uncle. While welcoming a few people, he also said with a smile: "You are too polite. The Marquis said that you are all distinguished guests. We
It’s too late to entertain me hospitably, so how can I still accept your gifts? Next time, I won’t do it.”
Seeing that he was only polite, he asked the servant to take everything without touching the ground, and then invited people in.
Yue Yunfeng talked with him and asked with a smile: "Uncle Butler, I don't know who the Marquis has invited tonight. Is there anything important to announce?"
But Butler Li took matters into his own hands and said, "There are no outsiders. The Marquis just wants to introduce a friend to a few of you. You will know when you meet him later."
While they were talking, the four of them had already arrived at the banquet hall, where Yue Yunfeng had been entertained by Bai Yuchuan that day, and he had made a big splash in front of all the distinguished guests in the courtyard.
I came here again today, but it was a different feeling.
He only saw a wooden table for ten people in the hall. The food had already been set, and there were only two people sitting at the table, Bai Yuchuan and another woman.
Yue Yunfeng's sharp eyes immediately saw that the woman was dressed in green clothes and had a veil on her face. She was clearly Miss Situ, whom she had met several times.
Unexpectedly, the other party was a distinguished guest at Bai Yuchuan's house, so this matter was very strange.
Under the greeting of the butler, the four people also sat down one after another. Together with Butler Li, who came with them, there were only seven people at the table.
Bai Yuchuan greeted everyone politely, but ordered the maids and servants to fill up the drinks. He said with a smile: "Come on, come on, it's rare for everyone to gather together. Today, all of you here are the handsome ones in the martial arts academy that I, Bai Yuchuan, value. Don't be polite, please drink.
Let’s talk after this cup.”
Yue Yunfeng and others did not dare to refuse, so they each raised their glasses and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your kindness. I'll do it later."
So they drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation.
Even though Miss Situ was veiled, she held up the wine glass, lifted her veil and drank.
Murong Qiu also recognized the other person, and seeing the other person facing everyone in shock, he couldn't help but peek at Yue Yunfeng.
When Yue Yunfeng looked at Miss Situ's slightly exposed face, he felt a strange feeling in surprise.
Why is the aura exuding from this woman so different from before?
Bai Yuchuan also saw a few people at this moment. Looking at Miss Situ's surprised look, he put down his wine glass: "I'm calling everyone here. Firstly, you have worked hard these days to build the martial arts academy. I want to express my condolences to you all for His Majesty. Secondly, I want to give you a gift."
I would like to introduce a friend to you, this one is the princess of the Kingdom of Autumn, Situ Ming from the Situ family, this time I came to the imperial capital and I want you to take care of me."
Situ Ming? Yue Yunfeng was thinking about this name in his heart, and then he realized that the other party was actually the daughter of the king of the Kingdom of Autumn. It has been long heard that the Kingdom of Autumn is the most remote country among the Four Seasons Kingdom, and there are two kings who jointly control it.
.
These two kings, a man and a woman, the man is a descendant of the Xie Yi Pavilion, and the woman is Situ Wan of the Eternal Age. They all took refuge in front of Emperor Lan one after another and became his pawns in the battle against the peerless starry sky.
Later, after making great contributions, he was entrusted to the Kingdom of Autumn, and the two of them jointly ruled the country.
As time has passed, the descendants of the two kings have grown up one after another. Although they are an inconspicuous party in the Kingdom of Four Seasons, they have now begun to intervene in the struggles of the Kingdom of Four Seasons.
Especially the descendants of Situ Wan, it is said that they had some conflicts with Wu Tianci in the business, and they once had a lot of conflicts due to conflicts of interest.
Unexpectedly, Situ Ming walked out of Bai Yuchuan's back door today. Yue Yunfeng knew that he was speechless, but he was very confused in his heart, so he raised his glass and said: "It turns out to be Miss Situ. This is really disrespectful. I have done this before at the auction house.
We met by chance, and Yun Feng was shocked. It's a pity that we couldn't have a deep conversation to express our deep regret. Today we have to get close to each other."
As he stepped forward to propose a toast, he pretended to be very enthusiastic and deliberately ignored the things the other party couldn't say, but he wanted to take the opportunity to find out the details of this woman.
Situ Ming just bowed slightly and did not answer. Although he raised his glass, he looked a little at a loss. Butler Li quickly interrupted and said: "You may not know yet, Miss Situ has a hidden illness and cannot speak, so Yunfeng toasts
It’s better to just think about it.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else present could not help but be surprised. Dugu Zong and Huang Puchuan did not expect that Bai Yuchuan would value a mute girl who could not speak, let alone what kind of medicine the other party was selling.
Originally, none of them could be considered Bai Yuchuan's cronies in the martial arts academy, and they were quite at odds with Bai Yuzhao Tokimune and others. If Emperor Lan had not arranged for Yue Yunfeng to take care of the affairs of the martial arts academy, both parties would not have
The relationship will become harmonious.
Therefore, the two of them were quite suspicious of Situ Ming's appearance.
In particular, the housekeeper of Huangpu Mansion had said that a woman who looked like Situ Ming had gone to the house, and then a fire broke out. At this time, he couldn't help but feel hostile towards Situ Ming.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the other party was a spy sent by Bai Yuchuan, who knew the background of the Huangpu family and wanted to kill them all. On the other hand, he also suspected that Bai Yuchuan was using this woman's hand to alienate the feelings of several people.
Because with the Huang Pu family's natural insight, Huang Pu Chuan felt that this woman was extraordinary.
At that moment, he actually said: "It turns out that Miss Situ can't speak. It's really a pity. But something even more regrettable happened to me, Huangfuchuan, tonight. Lord Marquis, please forgive me for being rude.
There was a sudden fire, but my family members said that they had seen this girl go to my house before, and then there was an inexplicable fire, but I don’t know if Miss Situ had witnessed what happened and told her something."
Dugu Zong couldn't help but said: "Junior Brother Huangfu, wouldn't it be difficult for me to say this? Miss Situ obviously cannot speak, how can I answer you?"
Yue Yunfeng put down his wine glass and said, "That's not necessarily the case. I remember that at the auction before, the young lady was accompanied by a servant. He was proficient in mute language and might be able to explain it for her. As long as we invite that servant, we might be able to ask some questions.
There are clues, maybe, do you think it is Murong?"
He knew clearly that the servant beside Situ Ming had been seriously injured by him, and asking him to come out would be tantamount to a slap in the face, so he deliberately asked him and asked the most honest Murong Qiu to confirm it.
Murong Qiu just nodded and said: "I have indeed seen him before. I must have invited the young lady's servant here, so I can make it clear."
Everyone glanced at Situ Ming, wanting to see how she would face the difficulties. Unexpectedly, Situ Ming kept his eyes calm and did not answer, but Bai Yuchuan slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table.
"That's enough. I was going to give you a try, but I didn't expect that you would really dare to come against me." He stared at Yue Yunfeng and the others, his eyes swept over each person's face one by one, and finally fell back on Yue Yunfeng's face.
, "I know about the auction, and I acquiesced in the fire in the Huangpu Mansion and let others set it off!"
Bai Yuchuan suddenly spoke like this, but Yue Yunfeng and the others were surprised. Could it be that there was another purpose in inviting them here this time.
Yue Yunfeng remained calm on the outside, but secretly he was on guard. If the situation got bad, he would immediately break out and escape.
So he quietly began to pay attention to the illusion around him, and then Bai Yuchuan said next: "You don't have to be surprised. Although you have worked hard for the martial arts academy recently, you are really too careless. Huangfuchuan, you
An important criminal wanted by the court has sneaked into the house, but you don't know it. You
My servants are still fighting with each other fiercely. If Situ Ming hadn't informed me in advance, maybe you would have become someone else's scapegoat. And Yunfeng, don't think I don't know what you have done recently. You
I don't want to pay attention to the grudge between you and Su Mo, but I advise you not to put yourself in a dangerous situation."
Seeing that the faces of several people became extremely ugly, Bai Yuchuan continued: "I can ask Miss Situ to teach you a lesson, that is, to warn you not to get carried away just because of small achievements. The people in the imperial capital are complex, and there are always
Some people with bad intentions try to get close to you, and once they are used, the consequences will be disastrous."
At this point, the four people finally understood that Bai Yuchuan was using Situ Ming's hand to suppress them, and by the way, he was giving them a lesson so that they should not get carried away.
Yue Yunfeng knew in his heart that Bai Yuchuan's move was just to use each other to contain each other, but what puzzled him was that Bai Yuchuan's message seemed to be biased, and many key points were completely different.
For example, regarding the grudge between him and Su Mo, in addition to joining forces with Zhuo Taisun, he also sent all the rescued girls to the edge planets of the Qinglong Star Territory. Only Sikong Chen and himself knew about this matter.
Miss Sun and Ying would not reveal it, and Bai Yuchuan could not know either.
Could it be that Su Mo filed a criminal complaint against him, so he only knew about the conflict between the two parties? Otherwise, if Bai Yuchuan knew that he was secretly in contact with Sikong Chen and took in the thousands of people, wouldn't he have been arrested long ago?
He silenced himself.
Let’s talk about the fire in Huang Puchuan’s house. I don’t know who he is trying to offend. It would be strange if it was Huang Puchuan’s father, Huang Puching.
The other party actually only knew the identity of Huang Puqing, but did not know the relationship between the two father and son. Could it be that the informant could have concealed this matter.
Now when I looked at Situ Ming, I felt even more surprised.
