Chapter 448 So that’s it?
The night deepened and the night watchman's clapper had already struck once.
In the small teahouse next to the Fangxian Embroidery Tower, there was still a dim candlelight.
The old man selling tea sighed countless times as he looked at the fair-faced young man who was sitting at the table and ordered bowl after bowl of tea, and whose belly was already full.
"Alas, sir," the old man twisted the rag in his hand and came over helplessly, "It's been more than an hour. It's the dead of night. The girl you are waiting for will not come again."
Fang Xian held the white brocade bag in his hand and pursed his lips. "She will come. You may not know this, old man. She and I agreed to meet at this hour. She will definitely come."
The old man saw that he was so obsessed with waiting for someone that he didn't want to leave, so he shook his head and said, "Looking at your long white robe, you must be a scholar. I'm afraid that you read too much and your brain is not very good.
It's almost midnight, what kind of girl would ask you out at this time? Even if she is, she must be a vixen! "
"She's definitely not," Fang Xian gripped the brocade bag tighter in his hand, somewhat displeased with the old man's words, "You've seen her, but I don't know. I have."
Not only have we met, but we even went to school together when we were young.
"Forget it, maybe I'm just getting old..."
Fang Xian's "obstinate" look made the old man helpless. He shook his head, picked up the rag, went to another table to continue cleaning, leaving Fang Xian alone to wait.
Last time, the man in black, Lin Hui, was guarding in the dark at the door of the teahouse, keeping an eye on the movements at the door of Fangxian Embroidery Tower not far away for him.
Once a woman comes here, she will report to Fang Xian.
But he waited for a long time, but there was no sign of anyone, let alone a woman.
It was not known how long it had passed before Lin Hui saw a figure turning the corner and coming towards him. When the person came closer, he looked at the figure and realized it was a man.
Lin Hui remained indifferent, standing with his arms folded, leaning against the big tree at the door.
But the man walked straight towards this side and strode into the teahouse.
Lin Hui just thought he was passing by for tea and didn't do what he thought.
The old man saw someone coming and threw down the rag in his hand and came forward to greet him: "Sir, what kind of tea would you like?"
The man didn't reply, but sat down opposite Fang Xian, pointed at him and said, "I'm looking for him."
The old man was stunned. He looked at Fang Xian, then at the man who had just arrived. After a while, he looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
He muttered to himself, "I was wondering, who would make an appointment with a woman at this time? So that's it, so that's it..."
Man: ???
Fang Xian was also somewhat confused at this time. He stared at the man sitting opposite him for a long time, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the brocade bag were bulging.
After a moment, he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Yun Chenglu?"
That’s right, the young man who just entered the teahouse was Yun Chenglu.
Seeing Fang Xian staring at him, Yun Chenglu put his sword on the table and grinned, "Master Fang, long time no see?"
The corners of Fang Xian's mouth twitched. Why did Young Master Fang sound so uncomfortable?
He coughed lightly and corrected himself, "Ahem, Vice General Yun, just call me Lord Fang."
Yun Chenglu picked up the teapot on the table, took an empty cup, and poured himself a cup.
The teacup was not big, so he drank three or four cups in a row before he felt his thirst quenched. He said, "Master Xiao Fang, this tea is a little cold. You must have waited for a long time."
Fang Xian: ...
However, he remembered that he had made an appointment with Yun Hua. Why was Yun Chenglu here?
What was he doing here? Was he just passing through? Or did he know something?
Fang Xian's mind was in turmoil, but Yun Chenglu opposite him acted as if nothing had happened and continued to drink cup after cup of tea.
Fang Xian finally couldn't help himself and asked, "Deputy General Yun, why are you still coming over for tea so late?"
Yun Chenglu waved his hand: "Hey, Master Xiao Fang, it's so late, why don't you come over for tea?"
Fang Xian: ...
He sat with Yun Chenglu for a while, but Yun Chenglu said nothing and just drank tea, looking like he really came there to drink tea.
"Deputy General Yun has been busy helping General Zhao train his troops lately. Why not go back soon?"
Fang Xian couldn't sit still anymore. He was worried that Yun Hua would come over and be seen by Yun Chenglu.
But Yun Chenglu was not in a hurry at all. He finished the pot of tea and asked the old man in the teahouse for another pot and continued drinking.
Fang Xian seriously suspected that he had not drunk any water for a day.
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy. It's a rare evening, and I've run into an old friend. How about we have some tea instead of wine?"
Yun Chenglu raised his cup and handed a cup of hot tea to Fang Xian: "Come?"
Fang Xian waved his hands like a fan: "No need, no need. I... I've already drunk quite a bit."
"Tsk," Yun Chenglu smacked his lips and frowned, "Is there something wrong, Lord Fang?"
Fang Xian paused, then immediately smiled again: "What could be the problem? Drinking tea is a leisurely activity. I've been sitting here for half a day."
"In that case, why not have a drink with me, Lord Xiao Fang? It's just a matter of peeing." Yun Chenglu smiled.
Fang Xian felt embarrassed. He looked up at the dark night outside and felt that Yunhua would not come again tonight.
He stood up and forced a smile towards Yun Chenglu: "It's getting late, Deputy General Yun, I'll be leaving first."
He was about to leave when Yun Chenglu said loudly, "Wait!"
Fang Xian paused as he was about to step out of the doorway. "Deputy General Yun, is there anything else?"
Yun Chenglu held a small teacup, raised it towards him from a distance, then tilted his head back and drank the tea directly.
He said, "Master Xiao Fang, we are from the same hometown. Brother, let me tell you something: dating a girl is not as simple as reading a book. Even if you understand the book, you may not understand other things."
"If you encounter this kind of thing again, read less books and gain more experience. Ask girls out during the day, and avoid doing things like secretly following and passing messages. It's easy to scare people!"
"you……"
Fang Xian opened his mouth and stared at Yun Chenglu with wide eyes.
Yun Chenglu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He touched his nose and said, "Master Xiao Fang, please don't look at me like that. Aunt Qiong told me that she was worried that something might happen to Third Sister, so I came here on her behalf."
Fang Xian: ...
It turned out that although Yunhua had made an appointment with Lin Hui that day, she still did not let her guard down. She was familiar with the surname Fang, but there were many people with the surname Fang in Dakang Kingdom, and it might not be the person she thought.
So, she discussed it with Qian Qiong and wanted to find a servant from Fangxian Embroidery Tower to go and check the situation on her behalf. However, she didn't expect that Yun Chenglu knew about her entry into the palace for the competition and came to see her.
Qian Qiong spoke without hesitation, and Yun Chenglu volunteered to come.
Fang Xian stared at Yun Chenglu, neither angry nor amused. After a long pause, he shouted outside, "Lin Hui!"
The dark figure standing under the tree outside quickly flashed in: "Master Fang!"
"Ahem," Fang Xian coughed awkwardly, then looked at Yun Chenglu who was sitting across from him. "I think Lin Hui is a bit too quick-witted and misunderstood what I said. That's why Deputy General Yun and Third Miss Yun misunderstood. I'm sorry."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Hui again and said, "Quick, apologize to Deputy General Yun!"
Lin Hui: ???
