【234】Understated luxury



Gongzi Yan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked up at Protector Feng: "Yu Hen?"

Protector Feng nodded: "Sir, you heard it right, it is indeed Prince Yuhenyu."

Gongzi Yan frowned: "Why did he come to see me?"

"If you don't want to see me, I will stop you right away?"

Guardian Feng observed his words and expressions, but unexpectedly, Master Yan raised his hand and said, "You are a guest now, change your clothes."

He can act casually in front of Li Yuan, but not in front of Yu Hen. It's not that he looks down on Li Yuan, but he is too unfamiliar with Yu Hen.

Because of politeness, we are distant.

Yu Hen, dressed in a white pear blossom brocade robe, sat calmly in the main hall, tapping the teacup nonchalantly, her eyes quietly observing the environment here.

As a forbidden area in the city that never sleeps, Mingyue Villa seems unexpectedly simple.

Compared with the flourishing flowers outside, this place can really be called a "thatched cottage".

But, if he could create such a magical city that never sleeps, how could he allow himself to live in such a shabby room?

Yu Hen carefully stroked the edge of the teacup, looked at the green tea in the bowl, smelled the fragrant tea aroma, and after a moment, an expected sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As expected, even the tea bowls used to entertain guests are rare treasures left over from Qingshi, a master of ceramics from the previous dynasty. One can imagine the value of other items in this small reception room.

No wonder they look inconspicuous, but can give people a profound feeling, making it difficult for people who view them to ignore them.

This place looks plain and simple, but it reflects the owner's state of mind in the details. It seems to have no sense of existence, but it has a more low-key and luxurious connotation than those with only bright and beautiful appearance.

Of course, if ordinary people did not have such a keen eye as his, they would probably think that these things were not presentable.

From this we can see that Young Master Yan has a low-key mindset and does not like ostentation.

"The young city lord is here!" Speak of the devil, here he is. Yu Hen raised his eyes inadvertently and saw a slender figure walking towards him.

He was not tall, less than 1.6 meters, and wore a crescent-shaped white satin robe, with his black hair casually tied up with a white jade hairpin. His facial features were not stunning, but he looked very comfortable, and his every move revealed a natural calmness. He was undoubtedly a perfect match for Mingyue Villa.

It was hard to imagine that it was this young man who, when he appeared in the Heizu Mountains that day, covered himself in a black cloak, exuding a cold and arrogant temperament, as well as the majesty of a person who gave orders.

Yu Hen curled his lips with interest. It seemed that this little boy was more interesting than he had imagined.

"My name is Yu Hen, nice to meet the young master."

I heard that he was only ten years old, but Yu Hen never looked down on him.

"Prince Yu, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

While Yu Hen was observing him, Gongzi Yan was also looking back at him.

According to rumors, this prince was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. In order to establish his unparalleled status, he spread the word gold everywhere. All his food, clothing and daily necessities were the best and all related to gold.

Every time he went out, his pomp was so grand and exaggerated that even the emperor could not match his pomp.

But even though he loved beauty and showed off, he had a majesty in the Jin Dynasty that was no less than that of an emperor. Even though he spent money like water and lived a luxurious life, no one blamed him. In fact, such a prince was supported and loved by more people. His presence was simply incredible!

When I saw him today, although he had removed his former glittering golden signboard and put on a pear blossom white robe, his enchanting face and unignorable bearing could not conceal his innate nobility.

Compared with the visual impact brought by the dazzling and dazzling golden clothes, it is obvious that Yu Hen, after changing his clothes, has completely changed his aura. Unexpectedly, he gives people the image of a noble, elegant and untainted young man.

One can’t help but sigh, it’s true that clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha!

"I wonder what Prince Yu has come here for this time?"

Yu Hen smiled slightly, "I am ashamed to say that I have been here for quite some time and have not yet formally greeted the Young City Lord. Today I have some free time and came to visit you. Please don't spoil your fun."

"You are too polite, Prince Yu. To be honest, it is also because Never-Sleeping City did not provide a good hospitality and caused you all to suffer."

"It is our honor to have you, Master Zhaofo, and to enter the Black Mountains for training. How can we say that we have to suffer? Master, your kindness is great, and we will take it to heart. However, there is one thing I don't understand, and I hope you can explain it to me."

Gongzi Yan looked at him calmly: "Prince Yu, there is no need to be polite. Please speak."

"I don't know, what kind of mentality does the young master have to help the Four Continents in this way?"

In fact, there was always a knot lingering in his heart. At the beginning, he was a little confused about the position of the City That Never Sleeps, but ever since he let them go to the Black Mountains to seemingly fend for themselves, Yu Hen felt that this person's heart was leaning towards the Four Directions Continent.

Otherwise, why would we go to so much trouble to give them such an opportunity?

Being able to enter the Black Mountains to practice is definitely not something that people of their level can achieve, but not only did they enter, they were even protected in secret by many masters. How could they have deserved this?

"Prince Yu came here just to ask this?"

Yu Hen raised the corner of his lips, "Of course it's not entirely true, but this question has been stuck in my mind for a long time, I hope the young city lord can give me some advice."

Gongzi Yan said with a smile: "You think too much. I did this just because I don't want the Four Continents and the Dragon Empire to have a big dispute on the territory of my Never-Sleeping City. This time the Dragon Empire was unjust, and Never-Sleeping City, as the host, did not fulfill its full responsibility. I did this just to try my best to make up for it and reduce the hatred between the two sides."

"How good it is to turn a big thing into a small thing and turn a small thing into nothing. Your way of handling things really opened my eyes."

Facing Yu Hen's ridicule, Gongzi Yan didn't care. "Businessmen naturally have their own concerns. Fortunately, this turmoil did not bring any major trouble to the two countries. As for the fights you want to have after leaving the city, it has nothing to do with our city."

"The Never-Sleeping City is a target that the two continents are trying to win over. I'm afraid it's unlikely that you want to stay out of it!"

Gongzi Yan smiled faintly and raised his eyes: "This is not something Prince Yu should worry about. After all this talk, Prince Yu seems to have not yet stated the purpose of his visit this time."

Gongzi Yan didn't want to get entangled with him on this issue, so he simply changed the subject.

In order to prevent the other party from losing patience, Yu Hen stopped beating around the bush and looked at him thoughtfully, "Yu Hen came here this time to make a deal with you, young master."

Gongzi Yan raised his eyebrows, his face expressionless: "May I ask what kind of deal Prince Yu wants to make with me?"

After Yu Hen left, Protector Hua looked in surprise at Gongzi Yan, who was leaning on the couch with his chin supported, looking thoughtful.

"According to investigation, this Yu Hen is a dangerous person who is no less dangerous than Wei Jie. Sir, do you really want to cooperate with him?"

Gongzi Yan casually twirled his hair around his fingertips, "To dare to negotiate business with the Never-Sleeping City, this person must have done enough homework. Although we are not venomous snakes or beasts, we are not someone that anyone can win over. You also said that Yu Hen is not a simple person. If we can do him a favor on the premise of mutual benefit, it will only benefit the development of our Never-Sleeping City in the future. Don't forget that my adoptive father's lair is in the territory of Yan State!"

It is hard to say who will use whom in the future.

Only then did Protector Hua realize the other identity of their old city lord and immediately understood his young master's plan.

Three days later, the outsiders stranded in the city that never sleeps began to leave one after another, and before the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, they had basically all dispersed.

Compared to the city that never sleeps two months ago, the city today has basically become a deserted city.

Ten days later, Yu Hen, who had recovered from his illness, also planned to leave.

After much deliberation, Li Yuan found Su Yu, Han Jin, Han Shuo, Hua Mao, and Shen Si.

"I appreciate your kindness, brothers. However, since such a big incident happened this time, I'm sure you have a lot of things to deal with at home. It would be better for you to go back early and spend the New Year with your family. I have Lingjiazhuang here, so there won't be any problems."

Li Yuan destroyed the Dragon Empire's plan this time. Based on the recurrence of Feng Yan's incident, no one was at ease. After comprehensive consideration, they all stayed.

If he stayed at the beginning, he could say that his injuries had not healed yet, but now that his injuries have almost healed, if he doesn't leave, he is afraid that it will arouse suspicion from others. Li Yuan doesn't want to expose them at the last minute.

Finally, unable to resist her constant nagging, threats and inducements, the five people had to agree to let her leave.

Just like that, including Yu Hen, there were six people in total. Apart from Su Yu, they could be said to be truly sharing weal and woe.

We were companions when we came, and coincidentally we were companions when we left. Isn't it fate?
