Over there, a carriage was approaching slowly, followed by a long convoy of seven or eight carriages. The carriages at the back were all single-horse carriages, probably for servants and luggage.

The villagers were truly astonished. They had never seen so many carriages, especially the three in front. They were tall, imposing, and even more luxurious, with double doors framed in pure gold and decorated with animal rings. Even the carriages were intricately carved with flowers. It looked like a beautiful house, absolutely stunning.

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the carriage drove along the country road, which became narrower. If it went any further, the trees on both sides of the road would probably get stuck. As a last resort, the carriage stopped in the middle of the village.

The village chief and the villagers had never seen such a grand ceremony. Who was the distinguished person sitting in this carriage? With such a grand ceremony, people would believe it was the emperor. They walked to the carriage trembling and knelt on the ground to kowtow. As the saying goes, the more courtesy, the less blame.

The village chief took the lead in bowing and greeting, saying, "I, the village chief of Donghu Village, respectfully welcome you, the distinguished guest. I wonder what brings you here?"

Six servants got off the carriage at the back one after another. Each of them was a handsome man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Two servants climbed onto the carriage and opened the door. Inside sat a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden crown.

Xiao Hei could see clearly from his perch on the tree, but he was still surprised: "It's him! Why is it him?" He was extremely confused. He thought it was a prince who had come from that demeanor! After all this time, it turned out to be him.

Xiao Hei actually knew the visitor. This young man in brocade clothes walking at night was Shang Mingxian, the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel Shang Jinghuai and the nephew of Queen Shang.

Although he is a royal relative, this young man is an uneducated playboy who does nothing good and only does bad things. He is a typical Beijing playboy.

How could he give up the luxurious life in the capital and come to this remote place?

"What's that smell in here? It's so awful!"

Shang Wanku shyly took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose. A handsome servant immediately brought a gilded incense burner and placed it at Shang Wanku's feet. Immediately, the rich scent of sandalwood filled the air.

Shang Mingxian still showed no intention of getting out of the car. What on earth was he doing here? Xiao Hei wanted to drag him out and step on him. His time was precious, and he didn't want to waste it on this playboy.

The village chief was a shrewd old man who seemed to have read the noble man's mind. He said to the villagers around him, "You all should go home. Don't wander around for no reason. Be careful not to offend the noble man."

The villagers hadn't seen enough, but the village chief had spoken and no one dared to disobey. So, all the villagers except the village chief left.

"I wonder what instructions you have for me, sir, since you have visited our village?" The village chief put on a flattering smile and took a few steps forward.

Shang Mingxian lazily extended his hand, and two handsome servants immediately brought him tea. He then said leisurely, "Is Gou Wa from your village?"

The village chief was panicked when he heard this. He wondered if this brat had gotten into trouble again. He hesitated in his heart whether to admit it.

"Yes, yes, Gou Wa is from Donghu Village. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

The one who spoke was Lai Pi Si and his group who had hurried over. Lai Pi Si had learned a lot of etiquette from the people in Lao Chen Village in recent years, and he knew how to greet important people when he met them.

Shang Mingxian glanced at Lai Pi Si and frowned. He hated ugly people the most and his disdainful look was undisguised. Lai Pi Si was very sensitive to other people's looks and of course he knew he was being disliked. However, he didn't dare to say anything, but he was already cursing in his heart.

"Did you bring Gou Wa here?"

"Yes, yes, this is a gift from me to you, sir."

"Well! Although you are ugly, you have good taste. I accept this gift, sir."

After hearing this, Lai Pi Si almost vomited blood, and he was furious in his mind.

Unexpectedly, a handsome young servant came over, also with a look of disgust, and threw a bag of money to him from a distance.

Laipi Si: "..."

For the sake of money, it doesn't matter! He weighed his purse and found at least a hundred taels. He was delighted. He didn't expect this kid to be so valuable.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward!"

Shang Mingxian covered his mouth and nose with his handkerchief again, turned his head away in disgust and stopped looking at him.

"From now on, he's by my side. I've changed his name to Xinyue. He'll be returning to the capital with me in a few days. I brought him here today to say goodbye to his parents and pick up some of his things."

As soon as he finished speaking, two servants dragged a man down from a carriage behind him. He was a tall, thin boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a narrow-sleeved bright red brocade robe with dark patterns and a black gold jade belt around his waist.

Her hair was spread out and tied up with a red ribbon like a woman, with a few strands of hair scattered on her temples, which, combined with her fox eyes, added a touch of softness and charm.

His eyebrows had been trimmed and his lips were dabbed with lip balm. There were two blushes on his fair face like someone with a hangover. When he walked, he swayed from side to side, like a fragile beauty like Xizi, very lovable.

Holy shit! This is Gou Wa!

Everyone was stunned! Some of the losers even drooled so much that their clothes were soaked in a large area.

Lai Pi Si was also shocked. Is this the dogtail grass that follows him around every day? If he knew he looked like this, he would never let anyone else have the chance.

Gou Wa was helped to the front of the carriage. He was so soft that he seemed to have no bones. He lay weakly on the shaft of the carriage, his eyes full of fear and his whole body trembling.

Others couldn't tell, but Xiao Hei, a secret guard who specialized in gathering intelligence in the shadows, could tell at a glance that he had been drugged, or that kind of drug. This was a common tactic used by the aristocratic circles in the capital.

Shang Mingxian looked at Gou Wa with loving eyes and said to him softly, "Don't you want to say goodbye to your parents? Let them take you home to meet them. You must pack your things carefully."

Shang Mingxian emphasized to Gou Wa to pack his things, and Gou Wa knew what the noble man wanted.

Xiao Hei was also wondering what Shang Mingxian was thinking about. What did Gou Wa have in his hand that he wanted? Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered the two boxes in the backpack. So this is it!

I'm afraid this dude will be disappointed. Xiao Hei thought of something again and his eyes lit up.

I'm afraid Gou Wa doesn't know that his parents were beaten! Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he turned around and used Qinggong to leave the tree.

Not only Xiao Hei thought of it, but Lai Pi Si also thought of it at this time.

At the beginning, Gou Wa's parents sold him a beautiful woman of unknown origin. Unexpectedly, the woman was not a good person. She took a knife to kill him on the way. He was scared at the time and thought he was in the hands of a woman. Fortunately, he was lucky and the woman's force was not strong enough and the wound was not deep. It took him half a month to recover.

Lai Pi Si, a vindictive man, didn't rush for revenge after recovering from his injuries. Instead, he continued his business dealings with Gou Wa's family. That day, Kang Shao approached him, saying a nobleman, a relative of the emperor, had arrived from the capital and wanted him to find some honest officials. Lai Pi Si's evil thoughts turned to Gou Wa. He tricked Gou Wa out and handed him over to Kang Shao. Tonight, he even had his men teach Gou Wa's parents a lesson.

Who could have thought that Gou Wa was so lucky to be favored by such a noble person? What if he knew that his parents were beaten by him and complained to the noble person? He couldn't afford to offend him!

Thinking of this, Lai Pi Si whispered a few words to the person next to him, telling him to go to Gou Wa's house to deal with it quickly. The man turned around and left secretly. Then, he rushed over to Gou Wa and said.

"Wait, wait! Gou Wa... Oh, no... Xinyue, we're brothers, so why don't I go with you? You and the nobleman can enjoy life in the capital, and I'll take care of your parents from now on."

Gou Wa stared at Lai Pi Si with his eyes fixed on him. He wanted to chop this man into pieces. But he was not stupid. He could hear that Lai Pi Si was threatening him with his parents.

"Hmph! Thank you, Fourth Brother..." Gou Wa said weakly.

Lai Pi Si said with a fake smile: "Hey! We are all brothers, no need to be so polite."
