Nangong Zhe was a frequent visitor in the Emerald Cloud Restaurant, and everyone here knew him well. He knew this place by heart, so if there was a new face or any abnormality, anyone with keen senses like him would be able to sense it immediately. Therefore, the moment he stepped into the Emerald Cloud Residence, he felt that something was wrong. Looking around, he found that they were still the same people, and everything had been put in place without any signs of a fight.
"Lord Nangong!" The old procuress stepped forward to welcome him, but there was no smile on her face. Instead, she crossed her arms and stared coldly at Nangong Zhe. The bawd's eyes were like daggers as they scanned Nangong Zhe from head to toe before chuckling dryly. If looks could kill, Nangong Zhe would have been chopped into pieces by the Brothel Keeper.
Nangong Zhe burped, "Mom, what are you doing? There was no need to chase people away, right? "As expected of my guest. I, Nangong Zhe, am a regular customer of yours after all. Please don't be so merciless!"
"Nangong Zhe, all these years you've been eating and drinking for free in my Emerald Cloud Restaurant and even causing trouble for yourself. I have tolerated you for a long time!" The old procuress humphed twice, "If you dare to cause trouble here in the Emerald Cloud Restaurant today, and you dare to not bring money to eat and drink for free, I'll let you know how to write the word 'regret'! Throw him out of here! If you dare to come in again, I'll break your legs! "
But who was Nangong Zhe? He acted like a dog when he was dealing with a case. Once he left the office, he would become a notorious scoundrel! In such a shameless matter, if he said that no one dared to claim that they were number one!
Since such a commotion had broken out in the hall, it naturally attracted the attention of the crowd. One or two of them were waiting to see Nangong Zhe's liveliness. Nangong Zhe had offended many people. He was a true scoundrel, but he was also one who did not care for favors! Don't just look at this joke, no matter who it was, it was useless even if he invited the Heavenly King's Master over to give a talk. He would do whatever he had to do. He didn't have any face to speak of!
When the guards came out to recruit people, Nangong Zhe refused to leave. He jumped onto the railing and crawled to the second floor, "Mom, we can discuss this. Don't play like this! Having kept a dog for so many years, how could he just kick it out like that? I'm going to look for Miss Caiwei! "
"Stop him!" The old procuress hollered, and everyone charged towards Nangong Zhe.
Nangong Zhe cried out, "Aiyo!" He immediately climbed over the railing and landed firmly on the second floor. However, there were people in front and people behind him, so he had nowhere to hide. He immediately grabbed the red silk hanging on the beam and landed back on the flower bed in the lobby.
Seeing this, the guards quickly turned around and retreated.
"How annoying!" Nangong Jiu mumbled.
"Mom!" Caiwei was holding onto something as she stood on the second floor with a veil over her face. Her eyes were slightly anxious as she stared at Nangong Zhe who was being surrounded on the flower beds, "What are you all doing? What kind of mistake did Lord Nangong commit? Mother, do you want to treat him like this? "
Hearing that, Nangong Zhe leaped forward and landed beside Caiwei. "Lady Caiwei came at the perfect time. Your mother wants to chase your guest away. What is this logic?"
The old procuress ran up to him and stuck her waist as she pointed at his nose and scolded, "Look at how dissolute he is, he even said he's from a public place." I could see that he was definitely an ingrate, but I didn't expect him to be so much more than just an ingrate. Do you think I can't do anything to you because you refuse to leave even if you die? Let me tell you, Nangong Zhe, you are the Sect Leader of the Four Directions Sect, but once you enter this door, I will have the final say! If I tell you to head east, you can't head west. If I want to kick you out, don't even think of stepping one foot in! "
"Isn't he coming in?" Nangong Zhe threw up his hands, "It's too late to say that!"
"Stop fooling around!" Caiwei sighed softly. "Mom, so many guests are here. Aren't you afraid of being seen as a joke by others? If this were to spread out, they would think that our Yun Cui Residence was going to do something to our benefactor. Who would dare to come to the Yun Cui Residence in the future? If there are no guests, how will you support your sisters, mother? "
The old procuress opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Caiwei took a step forward and whispered into the old procuress's ear. The old procuress looked thoughtfully at Caiwei and nodded, "Then I'll let you handle it. I'll make it better for him so that he won't cause me any more trouble. I don't want to see this kind of thing happen a second time! "
"Mom, don't worry!" Caiwei bowed in greeting.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, the guests below did not have the mood to watch anymore. Their gazes then fell upon Caiwei, who immediately began to jeer and shout her name. As the number one Courtesan Belle of the Emerald Cloud Restaurant, Caiwei naturally had to show some pride. What is not naturally the best is the unchangeable truth.
Nangong Zhe followed Cai Wei into her room, and the door quickly closed up.
"Miss?" Rou Zhi was cleaning the room with her back facing the door, and she didn't even turn her head when she heard the door open. The things have been delivered? " When she turned around, she saw Cai Wei bringing Nangong Zhe in, her face slightly flushed. "So it's Lord Nangong!" As he spoke, he quickly got up to pour Nangong a cup of tea.
Caiwei sighed softly. "Luozhi, there's no need to be busy. You don't know him well enough. He only drinks and doesn't drink tea!" My tongue is already so rough, it would be weird if I could taste it! " She put down the clothes in her hands and sat down with a serious expression. "Big brother, don't start a fight with mom in the future. Otherwise, it might cause some trouble."
Nangong Zhe smiled helplessly, "It's all because of money. Who asked me to be penniless? If she opened the doors to do business, it would be strange if I, a poor bastard, wasn't forced to do business! But next time, I will definitely not go through the main entrance. After all, there are many doors here, and even if there isn't a door, there are still windows, no? I do not believe that there is anyone in this world who can stop my, Nangong Zhe! " He poured himself a cup of wine and gulped it down.
"I really can't do anything to you!" Caiwei shook her head. "It's better for brother to drink less wine. Drinking too much wine will hurt both the body and the mind. It's not good for you!" "Oh right, Brother, I've met with a strange matter today. You're too knowledgeable, so why don't you help Wei'er analyze the situation?"
Nangong Zhe put down his glass and said, "Tell me about it!"
Caiwei nodded. "A guest came in today from the backyard. He probably doesn't want anyone to know his true identity, nor does he want to be known. It was no big deal if it was like this. There were many people like him in the Cloudjade Village. But what was strange was that this person wasn't here to look for a girl after entering the Cloudjade residence! At his side is a girl disguised as a woman, and not a lady! "
"Pfft!" Nangong Zhe spat out the wine in his mouth, "What did you say? Dress up as a girl? "Are you sure?"
"Naturally!" "I've been in this world since I was young. I've never learned anything else, but my eyesight is superior. Besides, I am a girl myself. I can't tell if that person is a man or a woman. Brother En, what do you think this person is doing? If he wasn't here to have fun, why would he be here? Could it be that you are here to gather information? "
The moment Nangong Zhe spat out the wine, Luozhi handed him the handkerchief. Her good-looking eyebrows were slightly raised.
"No worries!" Nangong Zhe did not accept Luozhi's handkerchief. Instead, he lifted his own sleeve and leisurely wiped the wine off his face. He looked at her thoughtfully. "Are you serious?"
Caiwei nodded, supporting her clothes on the table. "Earlier, I intentionally spilled wine on the teenager in disguise, and I took the opportunity to see clearly, the thing on his chest is not real material at all. Furthermore, I could even see his adam's apple if I leaned close, so I was very sure that it was a woman in disguise. I don't know why, but I looked at the young man in the lead. He's young, but his eyes are very sharp. "
Nangong Zhe paused, "Your eyes are sharp? "How sharp?"
"This man is very young, and his appearance is extremely good. However, when he looks at people, he always carries a faint, sinister smile, causing others to feel flustered. It is as if their thoughts would be seen through by him. "I spilled some wine on that person. That man didn't even blink, but his smile …" Caiwei looked troubled. "It's simply indescribable! I have never seen such a young man in my life. He looks very mature, but when he smiles, it is extremely harmless to you! "
Nangong Zhe laughed, "To be able to receive such respect from you, you are definitely not an ordinary person! Forget it, I'll go take a look when I get the chance! "
"There's still no news from the Western Regions. I'm afraid that elder brother will have to wait a bit longer. The journey is a long one, so we'll naturally have to delay the news for a while." "Besides, there are some strange movements at the border. It will be even harder for me to get news to the capital!"
"I know, I've been waiting for so many years. Naturally, I'm not afraid to wait any longer!" Nangong Zhe sighed.
Cai Wei nodded and hugged her clothes. "I still have to go back!"
"I'll follow you!" Nangong Zhe stood up thoughtfully, "I'd like to meet the legendary young man you speak of!"
"Alright!" Cai Wei smiled. "We can't afford to cause any trouble!" Turning back to Rou Zhi, he said, "Zhi Er, you stay here. We'll be right back!"
Luozhi nodded. "Don't worry, miss!"
After exiting the room, Nangong Zhe followed behind Cai Wei and strode toward Zhao Jing's room.
In fact, when the bawd and Nangong Zhe had a fight, Zhao Jing already knew about it. She held the hour and thought that it was about time for Lady Caiwei to return! Sure enough, they could hear movement outside.
Li Yiheng was standing guard at the door. If what Nangong Zhe said matched what everyone else said, then he would be extremely smart. Even if Li Yiheng was wearing a conical hat, Nangong Zhe should be able to recognize him. Therefore, Zhao Jing calmly waited for Nangong Zhe to fall into his trap. As long as he entered through this door, he, Nangong Zhe, would be like a grasshopper on the same rope as Zhao Jing.
Nangong Zhe rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was really drunk. Just look at the figure of the man guarding the door, who else could it be other than the palace guards' commander, Li Yiheng? Even though he could change into a new set of clothes, the palace boots on his feet did not budge an inch.
Then who was this young man inside? Nan Gong Drunken thought about it with his toes, he knew that the one who could make Li Hengheng guard the door, and who else could it be other than Da Xia, that headache-inducing Master Gui Jiu?! Nangong Zhe complained incessantly. A powerful being that lived forever had descended upon the Qing Clan. It was truly a joke that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What about going in? Or don't go in?
Caiwei was slightly startled. She subconsciously asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Nangong Zhe frowned, "You can go in, but I won't! "Be careful!" He didn't dare to tell her directly that the person sitting in front of him might be the current emperor. He had no choice but to make her be careful.
However, Cai Wei didn't understand. "You aren't coming in with me, brother?"
This little emperor was a troublesome ancestor. All the civil and military officials in the imperial court knew that Zhao Jing had always been willful. The glorious deeds of rolling on the floor of the throne room in front of Qi Yunshan had already spread throughout the world. Thus, how could Nangong Zhe enter?
After giving it some thought, Nangong Ji turned around and left …
