"May I have your name?"
Zhou Yang subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of Zhang Wenyuan. When he met the other party's sharp eyes, his heart trembled violently, but he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath and said slowly:
"My last name is Zhou Yang."
After hearing Zhou Yang's answer, Zhang Wenyuan's originally tense face slightly condensed, his two sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he continued to ask:
"From your accent, you don't sound like a native of our capital. Instead, you sound a bit like a southerner..."
Faced with Zhang Wenyuan's aggressive questioning, Zhou Yang's heart became more and more nervous. However, at this point, he could not care less, gritted his teeth and simply went for it, puffed out his chest and responded loudly:
"I am not from the State of Chu. My father is the Prince of Mu, Zhou Chenyang, of the Dagan Palace, and I am his second son!"
When this sentence came out of his mouth, Zhou Yang's eyes widened instantly, and he regretted it in his heart. How could he be so impulsive? He actually exposed his true identity without hesitation! However, at this point, he had no time to care about other things. Because compared to the possible pain of being beaten, telling the truth seemed to be the only way to help him get out of this situation.
At this moment, Zhang Wenyuan, who was standing nearby, raised his lips slightly after hearing these words. In fact, he had already known Zhou Yang's unusual identity during his previous conversation with Fan Linghua. He just hadn't pointed it out before. Now he could take this opportunity to teach this reckless playboy a lesson.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenyuan's eyes became sharp, staring at Zhou Yang closely and said:
"Humph, the second young master of the Dagan Mu Palace actually came to our Chu State to buy a female slave. If this gets out, not only will your personal reputation be ruined, but even the reputation of your Dagan and Mu Palace will probably be ruined!"
Zhou Yang's face turned pale as he listened to Zhang Wenyuan's rebuke, but he didn't dare to refute it at all. It was indeed as the other party said, if this matter was publicized, the consequences would be very serious.
Fortunately, the relationship between Da Chu and Da Gan has been quite harmonious recently. Under such circumstances, even if Zhang Wenyuan knew what Zhou Yang had done, he couldn't really punish him severely. After all, if things got out of hand, it would not be a good thing for both countries.
He turned to look at Fan Linghua, but her face showed a dazed and lost expression. She raised her head and looked outside, as if she was looking for someone. It seemed that her mind was not on the case, which made people puzzled.
