Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 10: Money or People?

Seeing that Xie Shi ignored him, Yuwen Kan also looked at Yun Zhuo, "Where are you going, Brother Yun?"

Yun Zhuo sat down in the empty seat and said calmly, "Jinling."

"What a coincidence, I'm also going to Jinling." Yuwen Kan's eyes were narrowed into a line with laughter. The person behind him pulled his sleeve and said, "My dear, don't forget that we have important things to do."

Yuwen Kan pulled back his sleeves and said, "What important matter? My business is the most important matter."

The man didn't dare say anything more.

"Why is Brother Yuwen coming to Jiangning?" Yuwen Kan is the young master of Cangjian Villa in Youzhou, and Wei Wuchen is his senior brother.

"It is said that the tomb of a senior in Nanshan was discovered a month ago. Didn't this attract a lot of people in the martial arts world?"

"Nanshan is in the west, this is Jiangning." Yun Zhuo: Do ​​you think I'm stupid? He looked unconvinced.

Just then, the waiter came up with the food, most of which was vegetarian. Yuwen Kan frowned, "This is too vegetarian, waiter, bring up a few of your signature dishes and I'll pay for it."

Yun Zhuo couldn't stop them. They were still observing mourning and eating vegetarian food. How could they do this?

Yuwen Kan thought he was being polite and waved his hand, "It's hard to be away from home. You have to eat something good. Otherwise, there won't be anywhere to get supplies from Jiangning to Jinling."

After a pause, he replied to Yun Zhuo's question, "The one who discovered the tomb was a big sect. They were afraid of trouble, so they asked the Wulin League to issue an order, asking those who wanted to go to gather in Jiangning.

I have been waiting here for three days, but no one has come. Even if I hadn't met you, I would have left tomorrow."

Yuwen Kan originally just wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to be fooled. What he didn't know was that this change of route saved the fate of Cangjian Villa.

Yun Zhuo had heard his master talk about Nanshan. Throughout history, many masters fought in the martial arts world when they were young, and liked to live in seclusion in such remote places when they were old. The tomb was most likely real. If he didn't have this matter at hand, he would also like to go and see it.

Li Yuening listened quietly. The timing of discovering this tomb was too coincidental.

Nanshan is the only official road to Liangzhou and other places. In a month, not only them but also the lord of the fiefdom, King Han, will pass through here.

A large number of people from the martial arts world gathered here. Jiangnan is a prosperous place, and those who set out on the journey not only have people but also money. It is hard to guarantee that the cash-strapped wanderers and independent cultivators will not be tempted.

Is the person behind the scenes after the wealth of these wealthy families or King Han Xiao Chuhan?

Li Yuening's heart tightened, hoping that she was overthinking.

"My name is Yuwen Kan. May I know what your name is, brother?" Seeing that Xie Shi was not interested in their conversation at all, Yuwen Kan asked again unwillingly.

He likes beautiful things, especially beautiful people.

Xie Shi is not only beautiful but also has a temper that suits his taste. He can't sleep unless he asks her name.

Xie Shi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth slowly, "Xie Jian."

He was unwilling to say another word, and after he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Yuwen Kan's expression. He asked Li Yuening next to him if she had eaten enough.

Yuwen Kan: So cool, even cooler than him, so interesting.

Seeing Li Yuening put down her chopsticks, Xie Shi said to Yuwen Kan, "It's getting late, so we'll just settle down first. Thank you for the generous gift of the room, my dear."

Yuwen Kan: She is a pretty lady with a sharp tongue. How can I tell from the tone of a fool that I just looked at her for a little longer?

It was not until he saw the person disappear at the end of the stairs that Yuwen Kan withdrew his gaze and met Yun Zhuo's disapproving eyes.

Yun Zhuo: "Don't provoke him, he is not as simple as he seems."

Yun Zhuo reminded Yuwen Kan only because of the kindness of Cangjian Villa in gifting him weapons. Although Xie Jian looked gentle and harmless on the surface, Yun Zhuo always felt that this was not his true face. This was the intuition of a man who lives on the tip of a knife and licks blood.

Yuwen Kan didn't care, "Isn't he your friend?"

Yun Zhuo took a sip of tea before saying, “We just met and happened to take on the same mission, escorting the lady wearing Mi Li to Jinling. Even his name may not be real.

Brother Yuwen, having said that, please make your own decision. I will return to my room first."

After everyone left, the servant behind Yuwen Kan dared to step forward and said, "Sir, our rooms have all been given away. Where are we going to stay tonight?"

Yuwen Kan put his wine glass on the table and said, "Isn't there a big bunk bed? What's the matter? Have you become delicate after being with me for so long?"

The man holding the sword behind him bowed and said, "I dare not."

"Humph, I'm going to Jinling tomorrow, Ayu will follow me, and the rest of you will go back to Youzhou."

The others were shocked, and one of them stepped forward and said seriously: "My dear, the Nanshan Tomb is of great importance. You can't let playing around ruin important matters."

This means that Yuwen Kan was only concerned with playing around and could put aside such an important matter, and he was resentful of his master for not living up to his expectations.

"Are you blaming me?" Yuwen Kan looked at the man's stubborn face, which was full of unwillingness. It was obvious that he had been dissatisfied for a long time.

Except for Ayu, everyone else had an unyielding look on their faces, but they didn't dare to show it. Under normal circumstances, Yuwen Kan would appreciate the stubborn little faces of the beautiful boys, but now he just felt that his dignity was challenged.

Yuwen Kan liked beauties, and the servants who served him were also very pleasing to the eye. Naturally, their treatment was better than that of other servants. Unexpectedly, they also developed a strong character.

Yuwen Kan chuckled, "I don't have to do anything to be above you? Don't you think it's unfair?

What’s the use of that? After all, my last name is Yuwen.

You had these inappropriate thoughts because of me, well, it's my fault."

When everyone heard what Yuwen Kan said, they didn't know what to do for a moment, and everyone looked at each other.

"Ayu, please prepare your pen and ink."

"Yes."

Yuwen Kan wrote a page of paper in a very eloquent manner, and then took out his own private seal to stamp it. He held it up, blew the ink dry, and handed it to A Yu, "Send it back to Cangjian Villa."

After A Yu left, Yu Wenkan looked at the others and said, "So, let's get everything back on track."

"Sir, please spare our lives." Only then did everyone realize that they were afraid. Sir was so tolerant of them that they forgot their original intentions.

"Don't say more. You know that I am kind. You can leave for home tomorrow. You have accompanied me for many years. There is still a place for you in the Yuwen family." Yuwen Kan has been allergic to ugliness since he was a child. From the moment he was born, his wet nurse had to be beautiful, his maids had to be beautiful, and his servants had to be even more beautiful. He has always been more tolerant of beautiful people. Today, Yuwen Kan was sad. He ignored the person kneeling on the ground and went back to his room alone.

On the other hand, Li Yuening wanted to test Xie Shi's attitude. If he was willing to be honest, she could cooperate with him first.

Xiao Sui'er knocked on Xie Shi's door, and Qing Yi opened the door, "Madam Xiao Sui'er?"

Xiao Sui'er blushed. She was ordered by her wife to come to see Mr. Xie at this late hour. It was against etiquette but she had no choice but to come. She whispered, "My wife wants to talk to Mr. Xie."

The voice was as thin as a mosquito, but fortunately Qingyi had sharp ears.

"Wait a moment." He turned around and went back to pass the message to Xie Shi.

Xiao Sui'er waited for a while and saw Xie Shi, neatly dressed, open the door and walk out, crossing his arms and saying, "Hello, Mr. Xie Lang, my wife is waiting for you in the tea room, please follow me."

Her wife couldn't resist her pestering, so she borrowed the tea room of the inn. Xiaosui felt more at ease as long as they were not alone in the room.

Xie Shi didn't know why the lady of the Xie family wanted to see him so late at night, but he was still happy in his heart. He had been looking for an opportunity along the way, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative.
