Chapter 291 Do not come to the door if there is nothing
Pingliang City is to the west of the junction of Qinghe City and Xiangcheng City.
Pingliang City is considered to be the poorest city in Ning Country, so the folk customs here are a bit tough.
Even at the boundary of Pingliang City, the rolling mountains became more steep and majestic.
The guards at the gate of Pingliang City routinely inspect the passing people, and the daily inspections will always make people feel bored.
The sun was rising three poles, and a team of more than a dozen people gradually approached in the distance.
Seeing this, the guards guarding the city stepped forward impatiently, and stopped the leader with a long spear.
「What are you doing?」
Right after he finished asking, a middle-aged man with an average appearance and not too tall came out of the team.
I saw that he first bowed his hands politely, and then said gently: "My lord, we are a caravan from Qinghe City, and now we are going to Dingzhou to do some business."
「Are there any guides?」
The middle-aged man quickly took it out of his sleeve with a smile on his face, and when he handed it to the guard, he also passed a piece of silver in his hand.
The guard who was still stinking immediately relaxed his expression. After accepting the money handed over by the middle-aged man, he slowly turned his body to one side, and then waved his hand at them to signal them to go over.
After the man saw this and thanked him, the group of people continued to walk forward smoothly.
"Uncle Li, shall we stay in Pingliang City tonight?"
Someone lifted the curtain from the carriage, and he looked like a very gentle and elegant young man.
"Second Young Master, we have a lot of people, and we might not be able to live together if we stay in a hotel, so... I thought it would be better to go out of the city and continue to find a flat place to sleep."
However, as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, another girl squeezed out of the carriage, and she said with an aggrieved face: "I don't want it! I want to stay in a hotel! Every day I sleep in the wild these days, my face will be covered by this The wild wind has made it much rougher!"
The man called the Second Young Master looked at the middle-aged man helplessly. After receiving his gaze, the middle-aged man coughed lightly, and still smiled when he looked at the girl:
"Miss San, when we get to the next place, we'll stay in an inn. The inns here are too small to accommodate so many of us."
The girl curled her lips and wanted to get angry, but when she looked up and saw the sharp eyes of the middle-aged man looking at her, she could only give up resentfully.
After no longer arguing about where to live, the group found a restaurant at random, planning to fill their stomachs first.
These people are Ruan Youqing and others who have been disguised by disguise.
The one called Uncle Li is naturally Kugli.
The delicate girl and the slightly calmer man are the Nangong brothers and sisters.
Ruan Youqing disguised herself as a man and transformed into a handsome young man.
The identities of the housekeeper and the three brothers and sisters were naturally thought up by Ruan Youqing.
Letting Kugli act as the butler was her temporary idea.
After hearing Ruan Youqing's idea, Kugli did not refuse.
Seeing that Kugli did not object, and the Nangong brothers and sisters who only look up to Kugli have no reason to object.
Although Nangong Liuyun didn't want to get too involved with Ruan Youqing, but because of Kugli's eyes, she could only reluctantly call Ruan Youqing second brother.
Just…
"Second brother, pour me some water."
"Second brother, bring me some of that dish."
"Second brother, you give me..."
Listening to Nangong Liuyun's order of course, Ruan Youqing just gave her a faint smile, and then... she took the other party's request as a matter of course and pushed it to Kugli.
Nangong Liuyun saw that no matter how he ordered her, she would calmly pull Kugli out to block him. Due to Kugli's increasingly gloomy expression, Nangong Liuyun finally ate honestly by himself.
Seeing that he could continue eating quietly, Ruan Youqing slowly smiled.
Kugli with a bad face looked at Ruan Youqing, then at Nangong Liuyun. Only now did he understand why Ruan Youqing wanted him to be a housekeeper.
Originally thought that the other party was trying to suppress him with a false identity.
In the end...he used him as a shield to block the annoying Nangong Liuyun.
Kugli was unhappy, but Ruan Youqing was very happy eating and drinking with Zisu.
…
The capital...
On this day, Crown Prince Li Yi brought a bunch of things to the Rong Mansion.
When the master of the Rong family saw Li Yi and the big and small things behind him, he immediately smiled happily and ordered his servants to call out Rong Yan.
At this time, Li Yi also changed from his previous high-ranking attitude, and patiently chatted with Master Rong.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Rong Yan, who had tidied up carefully, came over.
"Yan'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to our house today, saying that he wants to take you out for a stroll and buy you some things." When Master Rong saw Rong Yan standing aside with a shy face, he, as a father, immediately laughed Then he opened his mouth and explained Li Yi's reason for coming.
After hearing this, Rong Yan walked to Li Yi's side with a flattered face, Jiao Didi said, "Thanks to Your Highness's love, Yan'er is really happy. It's just that it's almost time for lunch, if Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't you eat something here first?" go out again?"
Li Yi also had a rare smiling face and said softly, "Okay."
"Then...they will have to wait for a while before they are done. Why don't you let Yan'er take His Highness to the garden first? My father just bought some brightly colored koi a few days ago, and Yan'er thinks, Your Highness, you should know like."
"In this case, I will trouble Yan'er to lead the way."
Seeing this, Master Rong laughed from ear to ear. It's just that after seeing the things Li Yi was carrying, he couldn't help but rubbed his hands and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince came here right away, wouldn't it be strange to bring so many things with you?"
Li Yi smiled lightly, and then hooked his hands at the servant beside him.
It wasn't until the other party handed him the bag that he opened his mouth to explain: "It's not good to be empty-handed, and today the Crown Prince wants to give something to Yan'er on purpose, but... the Crown Prince doesn't want to give it away under the noses of others. .”
"It's easy to say, Yan'er don't be in a daze, hurry up and take the crown prince for a stroll!"
「Ah? It’s…」
After Li Yi smiled and nodded to Master Rong, he followed Rong Yan to the garden.
It's just that the smile on Li Yi's face gradually disappeared when he arrived at the garden.
"The prince of Japan came to your house today to ask you to do one thing."
Seeing Li Yi's gloomy face again, Rong Yan suppressed her dissatisfaction, and could only continue to pretend to be gentle and considerate:
"Your Highness, just do what you say, even if you go through fire and water, Yan'er will not hesitate."
Rong Yan expressed his attitude so attentively, but Li Yi curled his lips in disdain, and then he slowly approached Rong Yan, his tone was slow and hoarse: "Among the things I brought today, there are some things that you need to find someone who won't be caught by you." Bury it where people found it.”
"Buried it?" Rong Yan couldn't help but frowned in doubt.
Li Yi stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and then rubbed his thumb a few times before continuing:
"Remember, this matter is only known to you. If someone else finds out, the Crown Prince will definitely kill you."
Rong Yan, who was threatened, felt cold in her heart, and boldly raised her eyes to look at the other party: "Your Highness, you must let Yan'er know what you are doing. Otherwise... Yan'er is afraid that an accident will destroy your plan."
Li Yi was not surprised by Rong Yan's reaction.
Pointing to the burden in his arms, Li Yi gave a sinister smile, then continued to get closer to Rong Yan, and said unhurriedly:
"Find a very dark place where outsiders dare not move lightly, and then... bury the things in this bag. If it goes well, you and I will soon be the most powerful people in Ningguo."
Rong Yan's pupils shrank, her voice trembling slightly: "This is..."
「It is...the heart of a person.」
