Chapter 227 Staying at Aiguan
The bustle of Aiguan City must be even greater than that of Shacheng. The main reason is that wars have decreased in recent years and the Rong State has focused more on commerce and regulation.
The team entered the most prosperous street in Ai Guan City and stayed in a restaurant called Yang Yue. Seeing the owner's expression of respectfully welcoming He Lan Qin, it must be that this restaurant must be the property of the He Lan family.
"Third Young Master, I thought I was seeing things." The boss looked Helan Qin up and down, then called a few men to help carry the objects and lead the horses, and he was busy all the time.
He Lanqin patted the boss, Uncle Fu, on the shoulder and glanced at the restaurant. It still looked so familiar. He couldn't help but said happily, "Okay! Uncle Fu, I'm ready. I'll arrange four first-class guest rooms for us. The rest of the brothers can stay in the courtyard of Bieyunju. It's spacious!"
"Okay, okay, Third Young Master, come this way!"
Fu Bo handed the guest room's card to Helan Qin. Jia Kuizhuo had just finished arranging the night's search and came in.
Helan Qin handed the pair of cards in his hand to Jia Kui Zhuo, who then whispered,
"Third Young Master, if we live here, won't it attract too much attention?" He looked out the door at the bustling crowd. "Look, there are so many people coming and going on this street. There must be someone from Prince Zi'an among them..."
"It would be better if he takes action. I'm afraid he won't take action!" Helan Qin patted Jia Kuizhuo's back confidently and joked, "General Jia has been a lot less courageous recently."
"Hmm!" Jia Kuizhuo coughed twice with a cold look on his face, "I'll go upstairs first! Don't let your guard down outside the princess' room!"
"You've even included me in this arrangement?" Helan Qin jokingly watched Jia Kuizhuo go upstairs, and handed another set of cards to Yuwen Bo who had just got off the carriage. "Ai Guan still has three or four days to go to the capital. I didn't get enough rest last night, so I'll stay here today!"
"Thank you, Third Young Master!" Yuwen Bo glanced at the layout and courtyard of the restaurant. "It is said that your Helan family is as rich as a country in Rong. It seems that you really have businesses all over the place!"
"Young Marquis, you are joking. I can't say I am rich enough to rival a country. This is all thanks to the grace of the current King Rong!"
"Hahaha!" Yuwen Bo never engaged in meaningless conversations. Now he suddenly changed his expression to a meaningful one. "Yes! King Rong has a good brother like King Zi'an. Who is afraid that no one in the Rong Kingdom will disobey him?"
"Prince of Zi'an?" Helan Qin knew that Yuwen Bo was trying to trick him, so he pretended to be confused and said, "Hasn't he retired from the position of regent long ago? I haven't been in Rong State for many years, so I don't know as much as the young marquis who has ears and eyes on all directions!"
Yangyang followed behind, and probably also heard the name of King Zi'an. Let's not talk about it for now. But Xue Qingqing saw Yangyang's expression, and it was still as if he was facing a formidable enemy!
"Princess, now that you have arrived in Rong Country, you must be more careful than ever before!"
Yangyang nodded in understanding without refuting. Whether it was a reminder or a mockery, it was the truth. But Xiaotao couldn't help but said, "Princess, be careful with your words. You should keep your mouth shut!"
"This is a kind reminder from my concubine, please don't be ungrateful!" Xue Qingqing couldn't control her, Xue Yangyang, could she be a little girl? "Where did you come from, little girl, and you dare to talk back to me, my concubine!"
"You..." The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Yangyang was afraid that if they continued to argue, Xiaotao's identity would be exposed, so she took Xiaotao's hand and said to Helan Qin, "Mr. Helan, please lead the way this way."
"Princess, please follow me!" Helan Qin bowed to Yuwen Bo, then led Yangyang and the other two upstairs.
When Xue Qingqing looked at Yuwen Bo again, she didn't dare to say another word.
When the two of them went upstairs and entered the room, Yuwen Bo grabbed her wrist and pushed her onto the bed. He could no longer hold back and warned her, "If you cause trouble again and bring me trouble, I will make my words come true!"
Xue Qingqing had been frightened and wronged these days, but she just couldn't help but get angry at Xue Yangyang. At this moment, all her emotions couldn't help but surge into her heart.
She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to die before Xue Yangyang.
"If our Xue family didn't have this jinx like her, we wouldn't have ended up like this, little marquis!" Xue Qingqing raised her body, hugged Yu Wenbo's waist and abdomen, and sobbed tenderly, "Little marquis, everything I do is for you, little marquis!"
She raised her head, and her water-green fingers fiddled with Yuwen Bo's brocade belt. After a while, she untied his coat. She coiled around him like a water snake, "I know that only the young marquis can protect me. You are my heaven. That's why I'm confused!"
Yuwen Bo pinched her jaw, looked at her peach-like face and apricot-like eyes, and softened his heart a little, "If you just listen to me, I won't be angry with you!"
"Listen!" Xue Qingqing held Yu Wenbo's finger that was pinching her jaw, and put it between her lips and teeth to taste it carefully, "I will listen to the young marquis!"
"Hehehe!" Yuwen Bo was coaxed into happiness, he grabbed Xue Qingqing's slender waist and started making love with her again.
After dinner at night, Yangyang wanted to go downstairs to chat with Helanqin again, but after what happened last night, Helanqin avoided her like the plague.
Xiao Tao couldn't help wondering, "Why is this Helan Master so weird? In the past, he would rush to the princess, but today he just hid!"
"Let him hide! Let's go find General Jia!" Yangyang was helpless.
They had not had a detailed conversation since they met Jia Kuizhuo again. Now that they had arrived in Rong Country, he thought he should get to know him better, even though he was a little wary of his third uncle.
In the courtyard of Bieyunju, Jia Kuizhuo was practicing his sword skills at this moment. Yangyang stood under the eaves and watched for a long time.
It was not until Jia Kuizhuo stopped to drink water that he saw her coming, "Princess! Princess, are you waiting for me?"
"There's no one else here, uncle, just call me Yangyang!" Yangyang handed Jia Kuizhuo a handkerchief and asked him to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Jia Kuizhuo took the handkerchief, stared at it for a long while, then raised his head and said, "Last time, on the boat in Xiaoyou Garden, I also had official business to attend to, so I had to inconvenience you that time!"
"It's not a big grievance!" Yangyang sat down next to the beauty on the armrest and patted the seat next to him, "Uncle, sit down!"
Jia Kuizhuo sat down cautiously. As a rough man who had fought on the battlefield for many years, he felt very restrained in front of a weak child like Yangyang. "Yangyang, is there anything you want to ask?"
Yangyang smiled and said, "I have just returned to Rong Country and I don't know anything about it. Uncle, are you willing to tell me about my father, the palace, and the Prince of Zi'an?"
