feud

Gao Yue tossed and caught the golden key with one hand, and was about to repeat No. 20 times when Sun Li reached out and took it away in mid-air.

Gao Yue stuck to it, looked at Sun Li more intently than admiring the treasure, and said, "What do you think this thing is useful for? It's okay to burn it. It's made of gold. Which family would be so rich? It's okay to be rich." It’s gone, and I threw it in the watchtower.”

Sun Li had an idea: "Could it be the one who opened the treasure chest?"

Gao Yue suddenly realized: "I think it is! Maybe the treasure chest is also gold."

"Idiot!" Sun Li slapped him on the back of the head. "It's really a treasure chest. I'm afraid the key was snatched by Chu Jun long ago, and when I found it was covered with dust, it should have been left there for a long time."

Gao Yue looked at Sun Li pitifully: "Oh... everything you say is right."

"Where is His Royal Highness? I want to show him the key, but he is not there when I go to find him. I haven't seen him for several days."

Speaking of this, Gao Yue also felt puzzled. King Kang would come every day, but His Royal Highness, the most important prince, hadn't seen anyone for several days. He even climbed over the wall to peek at Wang Xin to confirm that Wang Xin was still there, and breathed a sigh of relief. , to be sure that their prince did not escape.After all, King Kang was not the object of their obedience. Although it was not wrong for him to hand it over to His Highness the Crown Prince, Sun Li always felt that the key was good and wanted to hand it over by himself.

"I'll go to the mansion again. If His Highness isn't here this time, I'll give the key to that Liang man. His Highness will always go to his place." Sun Li made up his mind, took a sip of kumiss, and got up.

"Leave it to him." Gao Yue agreed, "He's very smart. That Liang man helped a lot in winning the city this time, but King Kang doesn't like him, hey..." He sighed, "That man is so miserable. His hands are wrapped like rice dumplings, and there is a long scar on his face...By the way, do you think he looks familiar?"

Sun Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Who do you look like?"

"I can't tell." Gao Yue picked up the kumiss and looked at his own reflection in the bowl. "The feeling of déjà vu."

"...It's an illusion. In fact, I think His Highness looked at him in a very complicated way, as if... um..." Sun Li said with a serious face, "It's just like you looking at the last bite of mutton hahahahahaha!"

Gao Yue: "It seems to be true."

"Stop talking, you and Zhong Yi guard the city gate. I'll go find your Highness." Sun Li put the golden key in his breast pocket, turned around and left the city tower.

The yard of the manor house was hung with lanterns, and the lights were brightly lit. Zhuang Mingchen toasted and greeted the guests at the banquet. When the time came and everyone was seated, Cen Li and Liu Huiye walked out.

Zhuang Mingchen immediately went up to greet him, and greeted him to the chief on the left under the curious eyes of everyone, which was not in accordance with etiquette.After a while, two more girls came in. The girl in front had a flowery face and a smile, with her hands crossed in front of her belly, and the one behind was holding a food table with a wine terminal and a large wine pot on it. .

"Come on, this is the little girl, late autumn, late autumn, I have met all the young masters." Zhuang Mingchen looked at the jewel in his palm, very satisfied.

Zhuang Shenqiu glanced at Cen Li with beautiful eyes, sighed inwardly, blissfully blessed, and said with a smile: "It's an honor for me to see all kinds of heroes."

Don't look at evil, those diners are all looking at Zhuang Mingchen's flattery, saying nothing more than praising "ling'ai's alluring posture" and other nonsense, Cen Li has nothing to say from the beginning to the end, and he feels funny: he didn't even look at it, how did he know that his eyes are big and his lips are big? Thin.

Zhuang Mingchen smiled until his wrinkles bloomed. Seeing how proud he was, it was obvious that Zhuang Shenqiu was very favored.Zhuang Shenqiu started serving wine for everyone, the first one was Cen Li, after a round, Zhuang Mingchen was the last one.

The people at the banquet almost finished spitting out the ink in their stomachs, Zhuang Mingchen said with another shocking word, "Everyone, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Cen Licen, the son-in-law of the appointment."

drink!

Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces, Cen Li frowned, knowing that it was time for him to speak, he stood up and said in a deep voice, "I've seen you all." After speaking, he sat down.

Zhuang Shenqiu's life-long event was announced in public, her face was slightly red, but that's all. She is a woman, and sooner or later she will sacrifice for the family business, so she will be mentally prepared so that when the event comes, she will not appear panicked.

Liu Huiye kept winking at Cen Li beside him, but Cen Li pretended not to see it.Zhuang Shenqiu didn't seem to be interested in his future husband, he just came out to show his face without saying hello, and left after saluting.

Sun Li knocked on the door of the manor house, the servant opened the door and saw that it was a stranger, and said impatiently: "My master is busy now, you can come back another day."

"Please tell me, little brother, my name is Sun Li." After Sun Li finished speaking, he handed him a piece of silver.

The servant had a bitter face, the master held a banquet tonight, and there were rewards from all over, so it was his turn to be on duty.After spitting a few words, he still took the broken silver and said: "Then you wait a while, it's really inconvenient."

"Thank you." Sun Li bowed politely, standing at the door and waiting.

"Archie, where are you going?"

"Ah, it's a girl." It was Archie who was guarding the door. He was about to report when he happened to meet Zhuang Shenqiu who came out of the courtyard.

Archie said: "If you want to go back to the girl, someone asks to see the master. I think that person is in a hurry. I'm afraid it's something important, so I dare not delay."

Zhuang Shenqiu said: "The banquet is at its climax, so don't disturb the muddy water. Lead the way, and I'll go and have a look."

The maid persuaded: "Girl, this is not good, you can't show your face casually."

Zhuang Shenqiu said: "It's okay, my father won't blame me. Lead the way."

The maid wanted to persuade her again, but Zhuang Shenqiu left first, and Archie hurried to catch up.

The three of them walked to the door, only to see a lantern in the darkness, and Sun Li saw that figure.

"Who is coming?"

It was a female voice, and Sun Li felt even more strange. The lantern got closer and closer, and the man's face finally became clear.

Sun Li: "?"

Of course, Zhuang Shenqiu also saw the other party's face clearly, and with a "pop", the lantern fell to the ground.

Zhuang Shenqiu opened his eyes wide, his heart beating wildly, "You...you are..."

Sun Li: "??"

Archie: "?"

Wang Bing looked at He Zhinian who was setting out the food, and said, "You eat first, I'm not hungry."

"I've eaten." He Zhinian took out the last dish from the food table, turned around and was about to leave without looking at Wang's illness.

It was obvious who the two bowls of rice were for, Wang Bing sighed calmly, stood up and said, "Zhi Nian, I want to talk to you."

He Zhinian stopped at the door, Wang Bing walked over and pulled him back, saying: "I saved your life, if you treat your benefactor like this, can I pretend that I never saved you? "

He Zhinian's hands were twisted together again, and his whole figure was like a string of taut strings.He stuttered, "No... no, I'm afraid I'll hurt you again..."

"You mean this?" Wang Bing raised his hand in front of his eyes, feeling lost, and said, "If you said that you alienated me because of this, then I have suffered a great loss, not to mention some flesh and blood injuries, and I was also disgusted by you. Really lost my wife and lost my army."

"No." He Zhinian was anxious, "I don't know why I... managed to do it that night. Believe me, it wasn't me, I didn't. I don't remember... But I saw such an ironic scene again ...You know who stabbed that knife better than anyone else, you must think that I am pretending to be crazy, forget it, the fact is that I stabbed it..."

Seeing him struggling in confusion and finally resigning himself to his fate, Wang Bing affirmed his thoughts even more. He said, "I know it wasn't you, so don't blame yourself. Just let this matter out, okay? You are still the original you, don't worry about it." Be swayed by anyone and anything."

Obviously, he was the one who should apologize, so He Zhinian's heart ached so much that he couldn't bear it, he threw himself into the white clothes and cried out his grievances.

-

After the banquet, the music ended, the musicians packed up their instruments, received their rewards and left.Herbal tea and table seats are left, adding a bit of desolation like waking up from a dream.

"Dad! Dad!!"

Cen Li and Liu Huiye wanted to say goodbye to Zhuang Mingchen, but stopped in their tracks.

"Slow down, you child!" Zhuang Mingchen laughed like a flower, and used a doting tone when accusing him.

"Sun Li?" Cen Li saw the person behind Zhuang Shenqiu who was running, and Sun Li also saw him and saluted him from afar.

Zhuang Mingchen went forward to greet him by himself, which was different from receiving guests. It was an expression of true feelings, "What's the matter with Nier? What should I do if I fell down in such a hurry!"

"He...he is the benefactor I told you last time! It's him." Zhuang Shenqiu pointed at Sun Li who was behind Cen Li, and lost his posture with excitement.

Zhuang Mingchen looked in the direction she pointed, and Sun Li looked puzzled.

"This son, is His Highness's subordinate?" Zhuang Mingchen had a bad feeling.

"It's brother." Cen Li was as confused as Sun Li, and corrected him.

Zhuang Mingchen said with emotion: "Hey, it's all fate."

"What's the matter? What kind of benefactor?" Cen Li couldn't bear this way of speaking without point, Wang Bing was still waiting for him.

Zhuang Mingchen frowned into the word "Chuan", looking at the undisguised joy in his daughter's eyes.

Eight days ago.

On Zhuang Mingchen's deceased wife's memorial day, Zhuang Shenqiu, who seldom went out, was going out of the city in a carriage to visit the tomb. He brought a little more things, and every time the investigation was strict, the guards coveted Zhuang Shenqiu's beauty and property. The investigation asked the carriage to pull over, but there was no one on the side of the road, so they pulled Zhuang Shenqiu out of the gorgeous carriage, and pointed their swords at the attendants, intending to rape them.

It just so happened that Sun Li and Gao Yue were going to the city wall to look for He Zhinian that morning, and needed a disguise, so they attacked the two beasts and saved Zhuang Shenqiu.Sun Li didn't even bother to see who the girl was, he was only thinking about how to replace the two Chu soldiers to go to the city wall, and he had long forgotten that he had just saved someone.

Telling this matter would damage Zhuang Shenqiu's reputation, so they didn't report it to the officials, even though they had no officials to report.

"I..." Sun Li seemed to be listening to some ancient legend, and was too shocked to speak.He wanted to say that I didn't remember at all, but he was afraid of hurting the girl's heart by saying it, so he showed all his emotions vividly on his face.

After Zhuang Mingchen finished speaking, he still didn't forget to remind: "Your Highness, don't let this matter out. This old man is just such a daughter. She has been held in her hands since she was a child and watched her grow up. If her reputation is ruined, then this old man's million-dollar family fortune will be ruined." It's useless to keep it."

Cen Li was even more astonished.The current Zhuang Shenqiu is not the same person as she was at the table just now. The love that overflowed from her eyes is clearly poured into the bewildered Sun Li.

Seriously, my fiancée had already made a secret promise. Although this was a political marriage, there was no need to worry too much about it, but the person she secretly promised was Sun Li, which is really dumbfounding.

A deadly silence spread among the few people.

"Ahem...that's natural, we won't gossip." Liu Huiye desperately winked at Sun Li, which meant that he would immediately explode and disappear on the spot.

Sun Li forced a smile, knowing that he must have done something bad, so he said goodbye to everyone one by one uncomfortable.

"Wait..." As soon as Zhuang Shenqiu's words came out of her mouth, Zhuang Mingchen immediately interrupted her: "Made in autumn, go back to your room. Your Highness, can you please send my little girl back to her room?"

Liu Huiye pushed again: "Your Highness, Miss Zhuang is in a bad mood, you need to comfort her more."

Cen Li was indifferent, Zhuang Shenqiu didn't look at him at all, and seemed to have a prejudice against him. Cen Li's intuition told him that this prejudice came from the fact that he was Sun Li's superior.

"Don't bother Your Highness, I can go back by myself." Zhuang Shenqiu was calm, and after finishing the words, he only saluted Zhuang Mingchen, turned and left.

Liu Huiye pushed Cen Li, and Cen Li took a few steps passively. Before he left, he politely saluted the two of them, and walked in the opposite direction to Zhuang Shenqiu, to Wang Bing's courtyard.

Liu Huiye: "..."
