General Protector of the Nation.
He was given the title after Yang Yueqi died in battle.
If others really knew that Yang Yueqi was not dead and had married a princess from another country, it would not be as simple as deceiving the king, but he might be accused of treason.
It is enough to wipe out the Yang family.
Xiaohong raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Yang Zhao secretly. The corners of her mouth twitched calmly, but she said in a low voice: "Duke Yang of Qi, although my husband is a small businessman, he has some connections in Qi and knows some people."
"If Duke Yang of Qi wants to go to Qi, my man will definitely be useful."
"Please ask Duke Yang of Qi to save him."
"My wife and I will be devoted to you."
Xiaohong said this and began to kowtow.
Yang Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at her, not letting her see the sneer in his eyes. Seeing that she had almost finished knocking, he slowly withdrew his hand from the car window and said in a cold voice: "Since my eldest brother has done you a favor, you should know what to say and what not to say, right?"
"I understand, but I will never tell anyone even if I die."
"How much does Xiao Cui know?" Yang Zhao asked.
Xiao Hong seemed to have guessed what Yang Zhao was going to ask, and she answered swiftly, "She only knows that the Protector General is still alive, but she doesn't know the details. I have no choice. If I don't tell her this news, Xiao Cui won't bring me to see you, Duke Yang of Qi!"
"If one day I hear something I shouldn't hear, I will make you and your wife pay the price." This time, there was a hint of warning and threat in Yang Zhao's tone.
Xiao Hong's eyes were bright, "Don't worry, Lord Qi Yang. I'll go tell Xiao Cui right away."
"Well, go ahead."
Yang Zhao waved his hand and closed the car window.
However, she did not look away. She looked through the gap in the car window and saw Xiaohong get up and go to Xiaocui. She seemed to say something. Xiaocui nodded repeatedly, and then she hurried back.
"Mr. Yang of Qi, we've already agreed. Xiao Cui will never tell anyone."
"Well, are you planning to just follow me? Or are you going to go back to the capital and get a carriage to follow me?" Yang Zhao asked in a cold voice.
Xiaohong said without hesitation: "Just follow me."
"Um."
Yang Zhao didn't say anything else.
After a while, the carriage started moving, and Xiaohong actually followed the carriage.
Along the way, she smiled at the maidservants, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was trying to please them, but it didn't cause any reaction from anyone, not even a second glance.
All the way to Shilipo.
A man in black, tightly dressed, was waiting on the road with a horse. After Yang Zhao's carriage arrived, he slowly stepped forward and bowed politely in the direction of the carriage: "Miss, Seventeen has been waiting for a long time."
Yang Zhao heard the sound, opened the car door and took a look.
When she saw the man in black without a mask, she was slightly stunned. This was the first time she saw the master of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion without a black robe and a mask.
He looks very ordinary.
Yes, with his appearance, even if he was thrown into a crowd, he would be drowned out in an instant. If it weren't for his tall stature and familiar voice, Yang Zhao probably wouldn't have recognized him for a moment.
but……
Yang Zhao looked at his face and always felt that something was strange.
Disguise?
Yang Zhao thought about it, and suddenly waved to Mo Junran: "Seventeen, come here."
When Mo Junran heard the number seventeen, his pupils moved slightly.
On the surface, he acted calmly, walked straight past the guards, and came to the carriage: "What do you want, young lady?"
Yang Zhao looked at him.
She looked him up and down, and finally waved at him: "Come closer."
Upon hearing this, Mo Junran stepped forward obediently.
But soon, his body suddenly stiffened.
Because Yang Zhao suddenly leaned in close and sniffed at him. Yes, she was like a dog, sniffing at him, as if smelling something. Although the distance was not very close, to others, it looked like they were whispering something.
After Mo Junran reacted, he subconsciously took a step back.
But he soon stopped and moved a little closer again, his voice a little deeper: "What do you mean, young lady?"
Yang Zhao raised her eyes slightly, looked into his eyes, and finally her gaze fell on the crimson tip of his ear. She was slightly stunned, then sat back and asked, "Have you ever disguised yourself?"
Mo Junran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But a little regret flashed through his heart, and he cursed himself for being useless. But on the surface, he was very calm, so calm that even his eyes were calm. He looked directly at her and said, "Do you want to see my true face?"
It means disguised.
Actually, it’s not surprising.
If he really wanted to show his true face to people, he would not show up every day in a black robe and mask. This time, the mission is for him to accompany her as a bodyguard. Since he is a bodyguard, he naturally cannot dress like before.
However, Yang Zhao did not feel embarrassed about what he said and said, "If it's possible, that would be the best."
Mo Junran said, "Anyone who sees my true face will either be killed by me or become my woman. Miss... Do you want to die? Or do you want to be my woman?"
Yang Zhao's mouth twitched.
Looking at Mo Junran who said this seriously, she immediately lost the desire to continue testing him: "Then there's no need."
Go ahead and say it, Yang Zhao was about to close the car door.
But a big hand blocked the car door first, preventing her from closing it.
"Anything else?" Yang Zhao frowned.
Mo Junran extended his hand toward her.
Yang Zhao looked a little puzzled.
She looked at him puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
"Silver."
What?
Yang Zhao couldn't help but be stunned.
He just said, "Your people didn't bring any silver when they invited me, and the silver you sent me earlier has been used up in the meantime. So for this escort mission, you have to pay me another 10,000 taels."
"As for the bracelet...it will be replaced with supplies later."
"However, since you are a regular customer of my store, I can give you a discount. Nine thousand five hundred taels will be enough. This time, I can protect your safety throughout the whole process and will definitely not let you come to any harm."
Hearing this, Yang Zhao looked at the palm that was opened to her.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, and she couldn't help but think of the time when he climbed through the window to promote his business...
I couldn't help but ask, "Is Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion short of money?"
Even if you want money, you shouldn't ask the employer for payment directly before completing the task.
It looks weird no matter how you look at it.
Mo Junran seemed to freeze for a moment, letting Yang Zhao see a hint of embarrassment on his face. He shifted his gaze slightly, the tips of his ears turning redder. He cleared his throat and said, "It's not that I'm in serious need of it, but I need it urgently, so I need to receive payment in advance."
"But you can rest assured. If I fail to complete the task, or if there are any flaws in the task, I will compensate you a hundredfold. I will never let you suffer even the slightest loss. You can rest assured."
