The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 87 The Smell of Barbecue

"Gushan Jushi is the name I use when I write. What? Is there a problem?" Bai Xinyin swallowed a mouthful of venison and said slowly.

Mr. Xuan Su has always liked calligraphy, and was very surprised to hear Bai Xiyin say these words so casually. He never thought that this famous calligrapher was actually Bai Xiyin. For a moment, he ran to Dugu Feng without any regard for etiquette, wanting to see the handwriting on the secret recipe.

Bai Xinyin's calligraphy style is unique, and his cursive script is vigorous and powerful. In recent years, he has been deeply loved by Zhao State literati.

However, the dragon was never seen from the head to the tail, and people had never seen this lay Buddhist. They always thought that this lay Buddhist in Gushan was an old man with a white beard.

And at this moment, they were fortunate enough to see her writing with their own eyes, and she was a girl who had just come of age. It was really unbelievable.

Of course, Si Mochen knew about it. He had seen Bai Xinyin's calligraphy at the Lin residence last time, and he knew about it, and he even shamelessly asked for a piece of calligraphy. But Mu Yunxiao told him not to mention this to anyone, so he never mentioned it to anyone.

Several people gathered around Dugu Feng, carefully examining the handwriting on the secret recipe. It was indeed the handwriting of Gu Shan Jushi, so vivid and lifelike.

"May I ask why the princess is hiding this?" Dugu Feng asked

"Hide it? When have I ever hidden it? Do I have to put a few names on my forehead?" Bai Xinyin rolled her eyes and said, "I still tell everyone I am so-and-so or so-and-so every day. People must think I am mentally ill? Besides, I don't think my handwriting is that good. Why do you have to think it is good?"

Bai Xinyin didn't take it seriously, but Mu Yunxiao found her being so confrontational and found it cute and funny, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Dugu Feng's heart was in turmoil again.

Before they had finished eating a skewer of venison, Butler Hua came to report: "General Wei Wuji of the State of Wei requests an audience."

"Oh? I had a lively dinner." He thought: It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Luo's life experience will be found out sooner or later. "Please come in! Wait, please ask Butler Hua to invite Miss Luo to come over."

"I don't deserve the brunt of your trouble." Butler Hua hurried to ask for help.

Wei Wuji entered the courtyard and ordered people to bring in two boxes of gifts. Then he clasped his fists and bowed, paying his respects to the princes and princesses.

"I wonder why General Wei came to visit you at this time? Could it be that the barbecue in my yard is keeping you awake? Although the posthouse is not far away, the fragrance can't travel that far, right?"

"I will be returning to the State of Wei tomorrow. A few days ago, I mishandled the horse in the street and injured Miss A'luo in the mansion. I came to apologize sincerely tonight and hope that the princess will grant my wish." Wei Wuji said sincerely.

"General Wei is really polite, and he brought so many gifts." As expected, Bai Xinyin sneered in his heart. "General, please wait a moment. Someone has been sent to invite Miss Luo."

Someone has been sent to invite you, implying that we all know what you want to do. Wei Wuji was a little embarrassed at the moment and stood there without saying anything.

After a while, two little maids were seen supporting a girl coming from the backyard.

The girl was tall and slender, with a well-proportioned figure. Her face had an exotic and mysterious look, her eyes were bright and blazing, and her long eyelashes were gleaming and sparkling. Her nose was straight and graceful, adding a three-dimensional feel to her profile.

Her lips were full and rosy, slightly upturned, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Her wheat-colored complexion and crimson long dress were full of exotic charm.

It was indeed her. Maybe it was because he looked at that painting every day or something else, but Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Bai Xinyin ordered someone to bring a soft seat for A'Luo to lean on.

"General Wei, Miss A'Luo is here. You should apologize and then get back to work. A'Luo's injuries are not healed yet, so she shouldn't sit for a long time." Bai Xinyin reminded.

"Yes, thank you Princess for your help." Wei Wuji walked up to Miss A'Luo and repeated his apology.

"General, it was unintentional. There's no need to apologize again and again." Luo thought to herself, I know your reason, just get straight to the point.

"When I saw the girl today, I felt that she looked very familiar. Upon closer inspection, I found that she looked very similar to someone. I wonder if Miss Luo has any relatives in Wei?" Wei Wuji pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"I came to Zhao State five years ago, and I don't remember much about my childhood. I don't even know if I have any relatives or where they are." A'Luo looked very sad.

"Oh? That Wei man is a good friend of mine. He once asked me to come to Zhao to help her find her sister." As he said this, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it to reveal a portrait.

Ah Luo was stunned when she saw that the portrait was 80% similar to herself as she looked five years ago. Could it be an old friend?

"This is a portrait taken five years ago. It seems to me that the girl looks so much like her." Wei Wuji stopped here and stole a glance at A'Luo's expression.

Even though Ah Luo already knew about this, she was still a little excited and asked casually: "Excuse me, where is the person the general mentioned?"

"The Imperial Palace of Wei. I cannot reveal too much about the rest."

"Oh? Then..." A'Luo has always been concerned about her life experience. Now that she has a clue, she can't help but be excited. She looked at Bai Xinyin.

"Excuse me for asking, young lady, are you willing to go with me to the State of Wei to look for your relatives?" Wei Wuji seemed to be inviting sincerely.

"Since she wanted to find someone, why didn't she come in person? Why did she bother our A Luo to run thousands of miles?" Zhao Qing heard this and interrupted Wei Wuji.

"Princess, you don't know that my friend really shouldn't go out." Wei Wuji explained.

"Oh, if our relatives are unwilling to go out, it is hard to see their sincerity; if they can't go out, they must be restricted by others, and there may be some trap waiting for my Luo. In this case, it's better not to look for these relatives." Bai Xinyin helped Luo analyze frankly.

"That's not true. That girl... has been bedridden for a long time and is in poor health. She can't travel far." Wei Wuji hurriedly found a reason to explain. These girls are really difficult to deal with.

"Oh, then this reason does make sense!" Zhao Qing laughed and said something.

"Is that a good excuse?" Bai Xinyin said, "My daughter A'Luo was injured by your horse. She can't go far away. It will take a hundred days for the injured bones to heal. If it weren't for my good medicine, you wouldn't be able to see her today."

"Yes, the princess is a skilled doctor. How about this? My friend told me that her younger sister has a pendant that she always carries with her. I wonder if Miss Luo has it? If so, I'll give it to my friend for verification. If not, I'll return it to you later."

"General Wei is really willing to go through fire and water for his friends!" Bai Xinyin deliberately sighed. Sure enough, the fox's tail was exposed. Looking for people was just a side job, and looking for things was the real thing.

"Pendant? But I've never had any pendant on me." Luo pretended to think hard.

"Oh, that's not easy to deal with." Wei Wuji seemed worried too.

"Then let's wait until A'Luo recovers from her injury before going to Wei. General, please tell this news to your friend. After not recognizing her family for several years, she has grown up, hasn't she? It won't take a little while." Bai Xinyin made the decision for A'Luo immediately.

"This... is the only way." Wei Wuji looked a little disappointed.

"Then we won't keep General Wei!" Bai Xinyin said as he picked up another skewer of barbecue.

At this time, Butler Hua came running over: "Princess, the emperor is here!"

"Ah?" Bai Xinyin was shocked. Why was the emperor here so late at night?

When everyone heard this, they hurried to greet him.

Before leaving the courtyard, I heard the emperor's voice: "What is this roasted food that smells so good? Eunuch Gao, I'm telling you, this trip wasn't in vain, was it?"

It turns out that the emperor was really attracted by the fragrance. What’s the wind blowing today?
