Everyone didn't expect that there would be someone among these Saint Weapons that had been brainwashed by the Great Chu Emperor who would speak out to help. They were stunned for a moment and forgot to respond to this sudden goodwill.
On the other hand, the expression of the soldier who had ordered everyone to surround Xu Han changed slightly after hearing this. Obviously, he was afraid of this Lord Saint Weapon.
However, after a few breaths, he still gritted his teeth and looked at the Saint Weapon youth. "Lord Saint Son, I clearly saw this thief intending to come forward to rescue this villain Jiang Lai."
Hearing this, Xu Han keenly sensed that the appellant addressed this youth differently from ordinary people, but he still hadn't figured out the reason for this.
"How dare you!" The youth let out an explosive shout. His eyebrows surged with killing intent, and the aura around him suddenly rose to an extremely frightening height. "How can my cousin Jiang Yue be slandered by a dog like you? He has a deep enmity with Jiang Lai, and his actions just now were only due to his desire for revenge."
"Yet you have given him such a notorious reputation? What is your motive?"
This young man named Jiang Yue was obviously someone who had lived in a high position for a long time. His words and deeds carried an imposing aura. The people around him thought about it carefully and felt that what he said was reasonable. In addition to his lofty status, they naturally would not doubt him.
The soldier also sensed the change in the attitudes of the people around him. His face turned pale and he hurriedly knelt down towards Jiang Yue. He said in fear, "It was a little recklessness that offended Lord Saint Son's cousin. Lord Saint Son, please spare the little one."
"Humph!" Hearing this, Jiang Yue snorted coldly, but he didn't comment on what the soldier said.
Seeing this, the guard was even more frightened. He didn't dare to say anything else and could only lower his head even deeper, fearing that he would make the other party unhappy at the slightest bit.
At this moment, the youth stepped forward and kicked away the soldier. He said, "I know that you are also doing this for the safety of our Thin Light City. I will temporarily remember this matter and will not report it to Lord Marquis. However, if there is a next time…"
Jiang Yue hadn't finished his words, but he could understand the meaning behind it. When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly nodded his head, "I've taken note of it. I've taken note of it. Thank you, Lord Holy Son."
After saying that, he hurriedly led his subordinates to retreat.
When the people around saw Jiang Yue walk over, they consciously made way for him, and their gazes at him were filled with envy and reverence.
"Cousin, I know that you are eager for revenge, but Your Majesty and Lord Sheng Hou are fine as well. There is still a great use in keeping this villain alive. Just calm down and don't be impatient. Sooner or later, I will definitely execute this villain." Jiang Yue arrived in front of Li Dingxian and said seriously while holding his hand.
Li Dingxian also came back to his senses. After all, he was also smart. Although he did not understand what the other party was doing, the situation in front of him clearly forced him to cooperate with the other party to finish the play. Therefore, he could only nod his head with a calm expression, but did not say anything else.
Jiang Yue, who had received Li Dingxian's response, only smiled faintly. Then, his gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Xu Han's body impartially. At that time, the smile on his face became even more serious. He added, "I know that you all came to our Thin Light City to repay Da Chu. I'm sure you haven't found a place to settle down yet."
As he spoke, he took another step forward and walked towards Xu Han. He extended his hand to hold Xu Han's hands as if he had done something like this. His eyebrows were filled with the enthusiasm of a friend who had come from afar. He was extremely happy.
"Since you are my cousins' friends, you are naturally also my Jiang Yue's friends. Tomorrow, I will host a banquet in the manor. Please don't dislike it. At that time, please come to my humble abode." Jiang Yue glanced deeply at Xu Han before turning around and leaving.
Only when the crowd was far away did the people standing on the spot awaken.
"This is" Chu Chouli's temperament was the most detached. Naturally, he was the first to approach Xu Han and was about to ask a question with a puzzled expression on his face.
However, before he could say those words, he was covered by Xu Han's hand. He winked at Chu Chouli and smiled, "Big Brother Chu, this is not the place to talk." As he spoke, his gaze intentionally glanced around.
Everyone understood, the people of Yan Guang City, if something were to enter the ears of these people, it would inevitably bring disaster to the people. Chu Chouli also hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head, signaling that he would definitely control his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Xu Han couldn't help but shake his head.
He smiled and said, "Let's go. It's time for us to find a place to live."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then suddenly glanced at the crowd that had already gone far away, and said, "This Yan Guang City…"
"Haha, very interesting."
…
Only then did they find a remote inn. Everyone paid for their meals and walked into it.
"Xiao Han, who exactly is that guy?" However, Chu Chouli, who had been holding back all the way, was unable to endure any longer. After entering the room, he immediately moved closer to Xu Han, lowered his voice, and asked anxiously.
Xu Han helplessly glanced at the eager-looking man. He could probably imagine how the other party felt along the way, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, wanting to say but not daring to say, as if he was scratching his heart with a hundred claws.
He shook his head with a bitter smile, "I don't know."
"Then why did he help us?" Chu Chouli scratched his head in confusion, but he suddenly seemed to recall something and muttered to himself in a serious manner, "Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Grandpa Chu's beauty?"
As he said this, Meng Liang, who was sitting at the side drinking tea, instantly trembled. A mouthful of tea that had not yet been swallowed suddenly spat out from his mouth and sprayed onto Fang Ziyu's face, who was sitting opposite him.
Eldest Miss Fang was instantly enraged by the lightning and rushed in front of Meng Liang. The second set of clothes that poor Eldest Young Master Meng had just purchased was immediately destroyed by Fang Ziyu.
"Little prince, tell me who the prisoners in that carriage are, right?"
Xu Han was accustomed to the jumping temperament of this group of people. He did not care about the chicken flying and dog jumping in the door. He looked straight at Li Dingxian, who had a calm expression on his face, and asked with deep eyes.
Xu Han's tone was somewhat unkind. After all, they were almost in danger because of Li Dingxian's impulse, so Xu Han naturally would not indulge in this little prince.
Li Dingxian could tell this from Xu Han's tone. He looked at Xu Han with resentment and was unwilling to accept such a'cross-examination '.
However, Xu Han was not annoyed by this. He casually picked up the tea on the table and gently sipped it. "According to the rules, the emissary of the Great Zhou Empire needs the cooperation of the Little Prince and the Prince. If the two of you behaved like this, then I'm afraid the two of you would have to find another genius for the emissary of the Great Zhou Empire."
These words undoubtedly pierced the pain of Li Dingxian and his son. Li Moding immediately glared fiercely at his son.
Although Li Dingxian was reluctant at this moment, he still said after a few breaths, "That person is the son of Jiang Zhu, Jiang Lai."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed slightly. "Jiang Zhichen has clearly surrendered to Cui Ting. The hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands and the land of Jing Zhou are all important parts of Da Chu. Jiang Zhichen did not say that he had done anything to help Da Chu, but he can be considered an important minister supporting Long. Why did his son end up in such a land?"
"Brother Jiang and I used to have dealings. Brother Jiang is loyal and loyal. He has always been willing to serve the country. I think he is unwilling to be tempted by power like his father and became the dog's fangs of the emperor of the Chu Kingdom. That's why he is in this situation." When Li Dingxian talked about Jiang Lai, his eyebrows immediately gushed with resentment.
Xu Han didn't comment on Li Dingxian's speculation. He nodded and didn't dwell on this issue.
"Then are we going to the banquet tomorrow?" Chu Chouli asked again at this time.
Xu Han glanced at Chu Chou, who was full of emotions, and asked with a smile, "Does Big Brother Chu want to go?"
He seemed to have noticed that Xu Han had seen through his thoughts. Chu Chouli's face revealed a look of embarrassment. However, he quickly said, "You see, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, we have mostly slept in the open. We haven't eaten a few meals. You don't want us to taste this black dog. I think that kid Jiang Yue is a big shot. I don't think the banquet he set up is too bad."
In this world, for the sake of this desire for words, the only person who didn't even want to die was probably this Chu Chouli family.
"Eat, eat, eat. You know how to eat!" As expected, Xiao Nineteen walked forward and pointed at Chu Chouli's nose as he scolded.
That old look coupled with her pink face was not much of a threat. On the contrary, it made people think that it was adorable.
Unexpectedly, Chu Chouli seemed to be extremely afraid of this Little Nineteen. At that time, he shrunk his neck and actually put away his long speech.
Other people didn't notice him, but Xu Han couldn't help but glance at Nineteen and Chu Chouli. It seemed that the relationship between Nineteen and Chu Chouli had been somewhat subtle since the war in the Crossing Imperial City.
However, before he could figure out what was going on, Fang Ziyu, who was at the side, also finished taking care of Meng Liang, who angered her. He frowned and walked over to Xu Han and said, "I also think that kid is a little strange. We are not related to him, but he helped us. Could it be that he has other schemes?"
Seeing everyone's words, Chu Chouli's face instantly revealed a bitter expression. He guessed that he was secretly regretting that a delicious meal had left him like this.
"That's inappropriate." But at this moment, Xu Han shook his head and smiled, "Since they helped us, the rules of repaying kindness must be told."
"Since Benefactor is invited, how can we disappoint him?"
As Xu Han spoke, he took out something from his sleeve and placed it in front of him, carefully measuring it.
That was what Jiang Yue had just handed him when he held his hand.
That thing is a copper plate.
A copper plate that Xu Han seemed to have known before.
