Chapter 83: Who let Dahuang out?
Xie Yan's face darkened slightly. "No matter how good Master Pei's martial arts skills are, can he really defeat the palace's secret guards? I advise my cousin not to joke about Shengsheng's safety!"
Pei Jinghong raised an eyebrow. "The prince is frail and ill, and he doesn't have the confidence to protect my cousin. But I've been learning from a famous teacher over the years, so ordinary assassins are no problem for me." Xie Yan curled his lips coldly. "There are always people better than you, cousin, so don't be so confident."
If he hadn't had to pretend to be sick, he should have taught Pei Jinghong a lesson right now, lest he overestimate his own abilities and become ignorant of the immensity of the world!
When Ruan Yunsheng heard Pei Jinghong say that he was very skilled in martial arts, his eyes moved.
If she went to the Liang Mansion for a banquet, Marshal Sun would definitely take the opportunity to attack her.
She knew that this trip was dangerous, but how could one be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?
It is impossible to guard against others who want to harm her, so it is better to find the solid evidence of General Sun colluding with the State of Yin as soon as possible and catch him in one fell swoop!
There were so many female relatives at the banquet that it would be inconvenient for her to bring her guards with her. However, it would be much more logical for her to bring her cousin with her.
There is another very important point. She had previously sent someone to inquire about Lin's situation in detail, and only then did she know that Lin and Su Muci's relationship was not good, and they had even had a divorce two years ago.
The reason turned out to be that Lin fell in love with a beautiful actress and cried and made a fuss, wanting to remarry.
This was undoubtedly a great disgrace to the upright Su family. Later, for some unknown reason, the matter was suppressed and the divorce was dropped.
But from this we can see that Lin was extremely fond of beautiful women, especially men with handsome looks.
Originally, she wanted to persuade her third brother to sacrifice his looks, but her third brother might not be the type that Lin likes.
Ruan Yunsheng's eyes swept over the people at the table one by one.
The third brother is handsome, unrestrained and uninhibited, Xie Yan is bright and elegant, and Pei Jinghong is so beautiful that it is difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman.
In such a comparison, it is obvious that Pei Jinghong is more suitable for the role of "Beauty Trap"!
I just don’t know whether Pei Jinghong is willing to cooperate with her, and this cousin doesn’t look like a martial arts master.
Ruan Yunsheng blinked his eyes. "Cousin, are you good at martial arts? Can you show me a few of your skills later?"
Pei Jinghong smiled and said, "Of course!"
After dinner, Pei Jinghong performed a set of sword moves in the yard.
His figure was as fast as lightning, his red clothes fluttered in the moonlight, and his sword shone with a sharp and unstoppable force.
Ruan Yunbo clapped his hands in applause, "I didn't expect that my cousin is not only good at cooking, but also so good at martial arts."
"Thank you for the compliment, cousin." Pei Jinghong put away his sword and stood up. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, but it made him look more energetic.
He looked at Ruan Yunsheng and said with a smile, "I wonder if my swordsmanship will be pleasing to my cousin?"
Ruan Yunsheng's eyes lit up and he nodded, "My cousin's swordsmanship is truly sharp! He's more like a martial arts master than the assassin I saw the other day."
Pei Jinghong looked at Xie Yan, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Your Highness, you should now believe that I am capable of protecting my cousin, right?"
Xie Yan frowned, his eyes dark.
It seems that "Chuwu" really made Shengsheng angry. Shengsheng needed someone to protect her but she didn't even contact "Chuwu".
He wanted to slowly replace "Chuwu" and let Shengsheng accept Xie Yan.
But after finally stopping Su Muyan outside the Marquis' Mansion and not giving him the chance to get close to Sheng Sheng again, Pei Jinghong suddenly appeared!
*
The next day.
Mo Ying hurried back from outside and shouted out habitually: "My Lord, this is bad!"
Xie Yan didn't sleep well last night. He rubbed his temples with his slender fingers. "What happened again?"
Mo Ying said anxiously, "The princess and Master Pei are alone in the flower hall, with the doors and windows closed, and even the maids are not inside!"
Xie Yan suddenly put down his fingers, his deep eyes filled with coldness.
This is the Marquis' Mansion, so Pei Jinghong certainly doesn't have the courage to do anything to Shengsheng.
But Pei Jinghong had just arrived yesterday, and he still felt angry because he had gained Shengsheng's trust so quickly.
However, when he was a child, he tied a dog outside Pei Jinghong's window, which would scare him so much that he couldn't sleep all night and would quickly pack up and leave. Now he can also drive Pei Jinghong away from Shengsheng!
In the flower hall.
Ruan Yunsheng told Pei Jinghong about his plan.
She hoped that Pei Jinghong would find an opportunity to get close to Lin and extract some useful information from her.
At the same time, she did not hide the fact that this trip would be somewhat dangerous.
After hearing Ruan Yunsheng's plan, Pei Jinghong hesitated and said, "Cousin, of course I'm willing to help you, but in the eyes of my cousins, your safety is the most important thing."
"I don't think they would agree with you taking such a risk."
Ruan Yunsheng nodded slightly. "I know my brothers don't want me to get hurt, but right now, there are so many people who want to kill me. I can't stay in the mansion forever. And even if I stay hidden in the mansion, there's no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will sneak in."
"It's better to take advantage of the situation and take the initiative!"
Pei Jinghong looked at Ruan Yunsheng deeply.
In the past, he only thought that his cousin was beautiful and delicate, like a delicate bud on a branch, carefully cared for by her brothers, who were afraid that she would be exposed to the slightest wind and rain.
But he realized today that perhaps he and his cousins were wrong.
My cousin is not a flower that needs care. She is brave and strong, not afraid of wind and frost, and can even protect her brothers in return.
If you only see her noble status and unparalleled beauty, you are underestimating her.
Ruan Yunsheng noticed Pei Jinghong's gaze and thought he was embarrassed, so he said gently, "I know this matter is dangerous. If you feel embarrassed, you can refuse."
Pei Jinghong said solemnly: "Such a big thing, my cousin told me, it shows her trust in me. I will definitely do my best to protect my cousin!"
Ruan Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction. With Pei Jinghong's help, he could get twice the result with half the effort!
Pei Jinghong wanted to say something, but suddenly heard some noise outside the door.
"Who's outside!" he shouted, and quickly walked to the door and opened it!
Suddenly, a yellow figure pounced towards him!
The big yellow dog barked at Pei Jinghong, "Woof woof woof."
Pei Jinghong's face changed drastically. In panic, he forgot all his martial arts moves and actually jumped directly onto the yellow pear wood eight-immortals table placed in the hall!
"Where did this dog come from? Someone come and take it away!!!"
Ruan Yunsheng didn't expect him to be so scared, and quickly said, "Don't be afraid, cousin, Dahuang doesn't bite."
She stretched out her hand to direct Da Huang, "Dada Huang, sit still! Don't make noises!"
After receiving the order, Dahuang sat obediently in front of Ruan Yunsheng.
But Pei Jinghong still stood on the table and didn't dare to get down, "Cousin...quick, get someone to take it away!"
During the days when he lived in the Marquis' Mansion as a child, Xie Yan would imitate the barking of a dog next door every day. The barking was so realistic that it gave him nightmares all night long, in which he dreamed of a group of dogs chasing and biting him!
This incident left a serious psychological trauma on his young mind, so when he grew up he was not afraid of anything except dogs.
Ruan Yunsheng rushed out the door and said, "Zhishu, go and ask what happened and who let Dahuang out?"
