After Xi Mengyao heard the news, she turned and looked at Song Chongjing as well.
Song Chongjing didn't have as many thoughts as him, he only nodded, then followed her forward. Xi Mengyao was not that mean either, she immediately let his go, then turned back and coldly swept her gaze over the crowd.
When those people saw her appearance, they didn't dare to step forward and only waited for her to leave before daring to return the question. However, he couldn't get any answers out of these random questions.
In the end, they had gotten into a mess and started complaining as well.
"I say, what nonsense are you spouting exactly? If the old master finds out, it will bring us trouble!"
"Now you know where you were when she came over!" That person also cursed back.
The few of them bickered until it was bustling with noise and excitement, while on the other side, Xi Mengyao also listened to a few words, feeling bored.
After hearing this, she walked forward. However, after walking for a while, she saw a winding path not too far away from her.
Only from afar, it was exceptionally quiet.
There were pine, cypress, and bamboo outside. Even at this season of the year, the evergreen did not grow at all, and after that, there were even a few pots of chrysanthemums, which were still in bloom.
There were some broken branches and fallen leaves on the bluestone path, but they were scattered about. It seemed like they had been intentionally left behind to create a scene.
Seeing that, Xi Mengyao looked around, and laughed: "Seems like this Master Landlord's attitude, is quite impressive. If you like this kind of thing, you wouldn't be a senior mister in Zen, right? "
After she finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Song Chongjing.
It could be seen that Song Chongjing City had a very serious expression on his face as he watched her turn around and follow suit. Xi Mengyao didn't know why, but she didn't say much and only sighed.
Since Song Chongjing did not say anything now, he was afraid that he would not say anything else. Helpless, she did not say anything else and slowly turned his head, walking forward.
He walked forward a few steps, then turned a few corners and passed a small bamboo pavilion. From afar, he saw an extremely gorgeous courtyard house.
After the two of them went over, they heard the barking of dogs outside. The barking came one after another, causing them to be terrified.
"Looks like we're here." After Xi Mengyao said this, she quickened her pace.
However, Song Chongjing hurried over and held her back. "Hearing the dog's barking, it doesn't sound like you're in the same place. If he isn't tied up, how are you going to escape?"
Seeing that, Xi Mengyao shook her hand, and raised her chin: "Look at people like them, do you think they aren't like dogs?"
Song Chongjing also didn't know what she meant, and only watched her leave the pavilion by himself.
Not far from where he was going, he saw four square pillars in four different directions. Each side of the pillars had a large dog tied to it.
They were all mastiffs, half the height of a man, and they were drooling. When they saw them coming over, they rushed over, as if trying to break the chain.
Xi Mengyao looked at it, and was not surprised. ShShedidn't forget to clap his hands and whistle at them even as she walked to the middle. He didn't need to be afraid at all. She directly walked towards the front gate.
Seeing her like that, Song Chongjing also shook his head.
They were so generous that the mastiff actually quieted down a few times.
Xi Mengyao who was walking in front did not forget to observe them. Looking at them now, they were indeed well-trained. Seeing such a fearless person, she felt her heart soften.
It was probably because he did not want these mastiffs to injure his esteemed guest.
Just as she was thinking, the guards at the door also rushed over and stopped her and the other two in their tracks.
Xi Mengyao did not say anything. After stopping, she turned her head to look at Song Chongjing.
Song Chongjing looked at her and understood the meaning in her eyes, but he was still a little confused. Seeing her silently urging him on, he helplessly walked forward and flashed his identity token.
Seeing the pattern on them, the guards' faces changed. "This humble one greets Prince Jing!"
"No need to be so polite." Song Chongjing said coldly.
"I wonder why Prince has come to the Liu residence?" Although the guards were respectful, they did not dare to step aside.
At this time, Xi Mengyao raised her eyebrows and said: "Your highness, you have naturally come for a big matter. We were outside just now, and I heard that your family's Ministry Councillor has recently found some good things in the fields."
"I'm guessing that some treasure has been dug out. If there is anything good, let us take a look. "
Xi Mengyao said this in a straightforward manner, leaving the two guards at a loss.
They did not give way, and Xi Mengyao was not in a hurry either, she intentionally frowned.
"Everyone is in the capital, I heard that the son and son-in-law of the Ministry Councillor Liu are also serving as officials. In the end, they can be considered colleagues with the King, but why is it that after you all saw the King, you are acting like this?"
"Where are you talking about? Please go in and wait inside. We will go and inform the old master right away." When the two guards heard this, they knew that they could not afford to offend Prince Jing's identity. Naturally, they did not dare say anything else.
Seeing that the two went in to report, Xi Mengyao raised her leg and wanted to go in.
Song Chongjing immediately grabbed her arm and said softly: "You are not here to investigate? If this matter is related to them, wouldn't you be beating the grass to alert the snake? "
After Xi Mengyao heard his words, she shook her head: "Just now when I was capturing him, you already warned me this way, now that I have already asked you all the questions, what's so important about my identity?"
If those people were truly capable, it was impossible for them to not find out.
Sooner or later.
"Moreover, rather than hiding behind his back, it would be better to make a preemptive strike." After Xi Mengyao finished speaking, she walked in by herself.
When Song Chongjing heard this, he immediately understood, but at the same time, the doubt in his heart grew.
He understood this logic.
He also wanted to see what exactly this woman was up to. Looking at her every move now, it must be the reason behind the military strategy. In this way, it was as if she had learned the Military Strategy.
However, the temper of the prime minister was known throughout the court.
"Where on earth have you seen a military strategy?" Song Chongjing thought about it and could not help but ask.
This Xi Mengyao's appearance, was truly too self-confident and strange.
Her current appearance was not at all as weak as the rumors of the past had it. In the past, she was only pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Although what she said made sense, it was still far-fetched.
Now that she was so skilled and careful, she seemed like a well-trained spy.
This caused him to have no choice but to be on guard.
He had already taken the principle of not being greedy when he had saved her on the battlefield, and it could be said that he had thought about it subconsciously.
Hearing that, Xi Mengyao turned around and looked at him strangely, but seeing the man's serious face, she understood that he had her suspicions.
Helplessly, she sighed and said, "I really don't know what you're thinking …"
