Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

Miss Xia Shi would say that she was the sister of the owner of a certain business, and that she was lucky enough to pass by here. Thanks to General Chen and Princess Rong'an who did not ask about her background, she was able to attend the flower viewing party.

Then the young ladies would smile shyly, secretly glance at the hero a few times, and pull Xia Shi to talk.

Miss Xia thought, she never expected that her social circle was opened up by her idol. She really had good vision. She was so very discerning. Her idol was really popular. It was true that gentlemen think alike. It was estimated that it would not be long before many young ladies would go to the store to inquire about the family background of their idol.

Shiliang himself had delicate features, and even when he was dressed in linen clothes, he was a person who would be quickly remembered wherever he went. What's more, the long gown and jade crown that Xia Shi brought were exquisite and fit him well. He seemed to be shining when he stood beside Xia Shi.

Miss Xia was even happier. She happily took her idol and a group of young ladies to listen to operas, and they talked about all kinds of romantic stories.

Only Shi Liang looked straight ahead or around for General Chen, intending to find a chance to talk to his idol about opening the pass.

"The next group of actors has started their performance. I heard that it is performed by the most amazing Qingyi singer in Huai'an. Let's go and have a look..."

"I heard that the snacks at the guest table are the sweetest. They are made by the chef of Tianxianglou in the city. They are not easy to get. Let's go and try them..."

"Okay!"

The two followed everyone to listen to the opera. At this time, the formal banquet had not yet begun. There was only a stage set up in a corner of the garden for the guests to kill some leisure time...

"...Ah~ the beautiful lady met a handsome man at the banquet... the moon was hanging low in the sky, and the world was singing slowly and softly... from then on, the mandarin ducks became a pair and studied calligraphy together, and they got the top scholar..."

The Qingyi on the stage sang in a humming voice, and the young ladies chatted animatedly over snacks and tea:

"This is the story of our General Chen and Princess Rong'an."

"I heard that Princess Rong'an met the general who was also a zither player that year. She was stunned by his beauty and fell in love with him at first sight. The general had blocked arrows for the princess, sucked snake venom, and refused to marry the princess against her will. The princess took him to learn arts and practice both literature and martial arts. He was extremely intelligent, proficient in both literature and martial arts, and was even the top scholar in the previous dynasty..."

"Wow!" (*'▽'*)?

The young ladies had starry eyes.

Xia Shiye's eyes were full of stars: "It sounds like a perfect story."

Young ladies: "The general is a perfect man. If you meet him, you will know what it means to be stunningly beautiful."

"He is also kind and generous, wholeheartedly serving the people, amiable and affectionate, and his piano music is faint..."

"He is a perfect man..."

Apparently the twelfth hero also thought so. He held his sword in front of his chest. People coming and going in the garden also occasionally carried weapons. It made people feel that this was the broad mind of the general. There was no need to take off the sword when entering the mansion.

Shi Liang took a big fruit and put it in his mouth, biting it with a crunching sound. Suddenly, his clear eyes looked towards a corner of the garden.

There was a row of maids coming one after another, and in the middle were middle-aged men and women in splendid clothes, talking and laughing as they walked towards this side.

The man was handsome, delicate, bookish, with a pair of sparkling eyes that showed deep affection even for dogs.

The woman was plain-looking, but she was well-mannered, and her expression was calm and kind, which made people happy when they saw her.

Shi Liang immediately put down the fruit and planned to go to General Chen to discuss the matter of opening the trade.

A group of young ladies hurriedly stood up to salute.

Xia Shi almost had a headache from the jingling sounds in her ears. She looked back and saw many masters dressed as servants surrounding the group of people. They seemed to be guarding something important.

Before he could finish his thought, there was a sudden shout of killing. Countless men in black rushed out from all around the garden and attacked General Chen and his wife. There were also countless men in black outside who kept rushing in.

The fight became intense in an instant.

The guests screamed and ran out. Xia Shi was caught up in the crowd and was pulled by a strong hand to a corner of the rockery, a safe place.

"Hero, aren't you going to protect Mrs. Chen, the Princess of Rong'an?" Xia Shi asked while looking at Shi Liang.

In the fight between hundreds of people beside the stage in the garden, the man in black shouted, "Release Princess Rong'an and protect Madam Chen."

The servants of the Chen Mansion were also shouting: "Protect the Madam, protect the Princess!"

The men in black rushed towards Princess Rong'an, and the servants and masters protected Princess Rong'an. General Chen was a skilled martial artist, killing people everywhere.

Shi Liang: "No, the general and his wife are very skilled in martial arts, they don't need my protection, but you are different, young lady."

She has studied so much since she was young that she should not have had time to practice martial arts. Moreover, her heavy steps do not make her look like a martial artist. As for being able to climb the wall with bare hands, it should just be some kind of special skill. Therefore, she is the one who needs protection.

Xia Shi: “That makes sense!”

The two looked back at the strange fight surrounding Princess Rong'an. Rescue? Protect? Something seemed different.

There were too many men in black. In the chaos, one of them rushed to the side of Princess Rong'an. Just when everyone thought he was going to take Princess Rong'an away, he suddenly stabbed Princess Rong'an's shoulder blade with a sword.

On the rockery, Xia Shi and Shi Liang looked at each other, and both could see embarrassment in each other's eyes.

The black-clad men quickly retreated like a tide, and General Chen had already carried Princess Rong'an, shouting loudly for the doctor, and then hurried away. The housekeeper and servants in the mansion had already started to clean up the scene.

Xia Shi: "Ahem, ah this..."

Shi Liang took out a small bottle from his chest and said, "This is the best medicine in the martial arts world. Although the princess is injured on her shoulder, the location is dangerous after all, so I will still send it to her."

"Wait a minute, brave man!" Xia Shi stopped him and said, "The situation in the mansion is very tense right now. It must be the strictest time. The housekeeper may not let you go in like this. Why don't we sneak over from the eaves and check the situation first?"

Shi Liang lowered his eyes to look at the medicine in his hand, and then glanced at the stern-looking housekeeper in the garden. This housekeeper would never let him see General Chen. He had asked to see him several times in the past few days but was chased out by the housekeeper. He could not see General Chen at all. Otherwise, he would not have needed to ask Miss Xia Shi to bring him to the flower viewing party.

Although later it was discovered that the girl did not have an invitation and needed to climb over the wall.

Princess Rong'an is still waiting for medicine.

"Okay!" he agreed.

So the two of them each used their unique skills and went to General Chen's main courtyard.

Shi Liang was just about to go to the door to formally greet the man, but he saw that Miss Xia Shi had quietly lurked at the window sill and poked open the window paper.

Ten Liang: “…”

The hero Shiliang has lived an upright and honest life, but if he shouts out now, people will definitely discover the girl, making her lose face for the rest of her life.

The hero was torn between his conscience and his desires for a while. He went over to persuade the girl who was peeping, but he was attracted by the gossipy look that suddenly appeared on her face. He finally glanced into the house and was stunned on the spot.
