"Master's guest?"
Mother Qin subconsciously looked at Father Qin, and then she remembered that her son had not returned home for a long time since he had been fighting outside for several years.
His guests have arrived, but he hasn't come back yet?
"Madam?" Father Qin was doubtful.
Mother Qin put down her chopsticks and said, "Xue'er, go to Xiaolu to eat first. Your father and I will go out and take a look."
Qin Muxue nodded:
"Maybe he's my brother's friend, mother. My brother has made many friends while studying at the Hanlin Academy. Maybe he came to visit me."
"Um."
Mother Qin waved her hand, motioning for Father Qin to come along.
Father Qin saw the hand extended by his wife, laughed tenderly, and held her hand shyly, "Madam, there are still young people around, please be careful."
Mother Qin: “?”
Lu Yunchu stared with his eyes wide open. After he came to his senses, he immediately lowered his head and ate the rice in the bowl.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are a loving couple and have a very good relationship.
Very good.
Mother Qin pulled her hand away and glared at him angrily, "You old frivolous man, go and entertain your son's guests!"
"Understood, ma'am."
Qin's father flicked his sleeves and rushed to the gate of the mansion with Qin's mother. From a distance, they saw a flamboyant figure standing there. He was wearing a dark red brocade robe which was very eye-catching. The man only stood with his hands behind his back, but his aura could not even suppress the entire general's mansion.
The two elders were shocked.
This is……
Where did this noble person come from?
They were born and raised in the imperial capital and had never seen such a noble person in the imperial capital, let alone Qin Muyu having such a friend.
The couple looked at each other, then stepped forward. Father Qin bowed slightly:
"I wonder who this person is..."
Upon hearing the voice, King Yin turned around and swept his sharp eyes over the two of them, but his sharp eyes were retracted in just a moment.
"I guess you two are General Qin's parents."
Just looking at their appearance, you can see some similarities.
"My name is... He Ci. I'm a good friend of Major General Qin. I've come to your house at his invitation." He spoke gently, but he still had a cold and stern tone in his bones that should not be easily provoked.
Mother Qin was slightly surprised:
"But my son is not at home..."
"General Qin will be able to return home in two or three days at most."
The two elders were even more shocked.
Even they didn't know Qin Muyu's itinerary and whereabouts, but this person knew it so clearly?
Is he really Qin Muyu’s good friend?
Qin's father had been in the army for many years and could clearly smell the murderous and bloody aura from this man. He knew that this man must be a ruthless character.
However, before knowing the other person's identity, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Father Qin and Mother Qin looked at each other, exchanged glances quickly, and said:
"Since you are on good terms with my son, why don't you come visit me when he returns home? I'm afraid we two elders won't be able to entertain you well."
King Yin said calmly: "It's okay, I... I'm also good friends with Miss Qin."
"?"
Now, the two elders were dumbfounded.
Does he still know Xue Er?
He must really be Qin Muyu’s good friend!
It just so happened that Xue'er was at home, so she let them meet, touch and identify each other, and then they would know whether it was real or not.
"Sir, please come in."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
"please."
King Yin nodded slightly, motioning Xiao Jue to stay outside, and followed the two into the mansion, looking around at the furnishings along the way.
Is this where Young General Qin grew up?
Enter the main hall.
Mother Qin raised her voice and asked, "Xue'er, look who's here."
Qin Muxue looked up subconsciously; "Who...ah!"
When he took a closer look, his eyes almost popped out.
King Yin!
The Southern Barbarian King Yin!
Wasn't he in Nanman? How did he quietly cross thousands of miles, sneak into the capital of the Chu Empire, and enter the general's mansion openly?
As a king, how can you enter another country without permission?
What does he want to do?
King Yin looked calm, "Miss Qin, long time no see."
Qin Muxue's heart tightened.
Don't.
Don't say that.
Back then on the battlefield, she had only met this man a few times, and they hadn't even spoken a few words to each other, let alone know his character and behavior.
She only knew that the Regent had a cooperative relationship with this person.
Qin Muxue clenched her chopsticks and quickly thought, "I have only met you a few times, so it's not like we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder what you want to talk to my brother about?"
King Yin was so casual as if he was at home, and said calmly:
"At the invitation of General Qin."
Qin Muxue looked at Lu Yunchu, and Lu Yunchu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Like Xuexue, he is an outsider. However, when the Regent was cooperating with King Yin, he personally sent General Qin to King Yin to help.
Maybe the two of them really have a friendship.
However, no matter what the purpose of King Yin's visit this time is, I believe he would not dare to act recklessly in the capital of Great Chu.
Lu Yunchu smiled calmly and said:
"I see. When General Qin returns home and sees you, he will definitely feel very close to you."
King Yin sat down, "I hope so."
"Young Master is good friends with my brother, why don't you come back together?"
"He was playful, so he saw some rabbits on the road and ran over to play with them. Now he is stuck on the road."
Qin Muxue: “?”
Why do I feel like this person speaks a little strangely...
But I can’t tell what’s strange about it.
Mother Qin's expression was a little strange, "Really? My son is not young anymore, how could he play with rabbits?"
King Yin looked at her: "He is still young."
"He's already twenty..."
"He's still young."
Mother Qin was stunned. Somehow, she always felt that this man had a gentle smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His words and actions were full of danger that should not be underestimated.
She felt somewhat frightened just by hearing these few words repeated.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle.
Quiet.
It was Qin Muxue who spoke up and said, "Mother, since this young master has come to visit us, there is no point in turning him away. Why don't we ask him to stay and wait for my eldest brother to come back?"
Mother Qin opened her mouth.
But... he came to visit empty-handed.
This person is really...
They were clearly rude, but they looked calm and composed, as if they were the ones who were wrong.
Oh my God!
How could she have such an illusion?
How is it that this guy is so unreasonable and yet so arrogant, and yet people are afraid to find fault with him?
"Since Xue'er has asked, Mr. Heci, please do not despise the simplicity of the general's mansion and stay for a few days."
"Thank you, Auntie."
King Yin Wen smiled and nodded, speaking without being polite. He brushed his luxurious brocade robe, straightened the corners of his sleeves, and looked at the table full of sumptuous food.
Qin's mother immediately ordered the maid: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and add more bowls and chopsticks."
The maidservant went quickly.
King Yin smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt."
He was just hungry.
Pick up the bowl and eat slowly.
Mother Qin clutched her handkerchief and kept making eye contact with Father Qin.
You can say that this person does not know etiquette, but the nobility in his every move is not something that ordinary people can compare to, and it is something that cannot be faked; to say that he knows etiquette, that is really not the case.
This man looked as steady as a mountain, as if everyone had to respect him and revolve around him no matter when and where.
He is the truth.
He is etiquette.
When did Qin Muyu make this friend?
The meal was finally over, and Qin's mother quickly told the maid to clean up a small courtyard for King Yin to rest and stay temporarily.
After the maid took the person away, he quickly took Qin Muxue's hand and asked:
"Is he really your brother's friend?"
"this……"
Qin Muxue looked embarrassed.
At the beginning, she didn't know the details of the cooperation between the Regent and the King of Yin, and it was inconvenient for her to disturb the Regent rashly.
Got it!
An idea suddenly occurred to me, "Mom, go ask my uncle, he is familiar with him."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Lu Yunchu downstairs to rest.
She was exhausted after traveling all the way back to Da Chu from Sangnan Kingdom, so she decided not to worry about this matter for the time being.
"This child..." Mother Qin was a little melancholy, stroking her chest, "Master, I don't know what's going on, I feel uneasy, and I always have a bad premonition..."
Father Qin patted her back gently.
"Madam, don't think too much. Now that the war has ended, our country is stable, Xue'er is getting married, and Mu Yu is about to return home. The good days for our family are about to begin."
Mother Qin sighed:
"That being said, this Mr. He Ci is probably from a prominent background. Could he be coming prepared with some bad intentions?"
Father Qin frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
"He claims to be on good terms with Mu Yu, what other purpose could he have? Mu Yu is a man, not as delicate as a woman, he won't suffer any loss when he goes out."
"Too."
After hearing this, Mother Qin felt relieved. She beckoned the servant over and told him, "Go and ask Governor Xiao to come over. Tell him I have something to ask him."
"Yes, ma'am."
Inside the mansion.
The small courtyard is clean and tidy. Although it is not as grand as Prince Yin’s Palace, it has a unique scenery.
"Young master, please go to bed early. If you have any instructions, I'll be waiting outside." The maid bowed and was about to go out.
King Yin glanced sideways and asked: "Where does General Qin live?"
The maid was stunned.
this?
"Our young master lives in Tonghuayuan."
"Take me over there to have a look."
ah?
Why?
"The young master is not at home. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."
"I'm just taking a look, I have no other intentions. Can I steal your young master's things?"
The maid blushed, "I dare not... Sir, please."
This young man seemed to be a rare talent among men, worth a ton of gold. How dare she desecrate him with such thoughts?
Lead the way to Tonghuayuan.
This is a neat and tidy courtyard. The scenery in the courtyard and the furnishings in the house are all efficient, especially the bookshelves filled with books and the fragrance of ink, which shows the character of the owner of the courtyard.
King Yin walked in here and glanced at the surrounding furnishings, examining each one of them.
They are all traces of Qin Muyu's life.
His bed, clothes hanger, desk, calligraphy and paintings...
King Yin walked slowly to the table, his hand brushed over several books, and accidentally touched a thin envelope.
It was a letter tucked inside the book.
When I pulled it out, I saw four beautiful and elegant handwritings - From Ali himself.
The man's brows knitted together.
Without opening it, you can guess what's written inside. It's probably all about love affairs that are too disgusting to hear.
Oh!
It's just a love story between young people.
He put the letter back, paced a few steps, and saw several strings of girlish toys hanging on the exquisite deer antler table.
A string of whistling arrows, a string of love knots, a string of jade slips, a string of bow ties.
Judging from the color, it is quite old, but it has been hanging here and is well maintained.
King Yin glanced at him coldly.
Love between young people!
It's ridiculous.
What kind of feelings can be understood from the friendship between young children?
He glanced at the clothes hanging on the hanger, with peach blossoms embroidered on the cuffs, and the expression on his face became a little awkward.
ugly!
So ugly!
Young General Qin is a man, but he has peach blossoms tattooed on his cuffs. No wonder he is quite old, but still looks delicate and handsome, and his temperament is like that of a girl. It turns out that he was led astray by Chu Li since he was young.
"How ugly."
The two words that came out of his mouth surprised the maid beside him.
ugly?
Subconsciously, he said, "What's ugly about it? Back then, the Ninth Prince said he liked peach blossoms, so the young master learned embroidery and practiced for a full month before he was able to embroider these two peach blossoms. Even the Madam praised them for being beautiful."
King Yin's face suddenly cracked.
This was not embroidered by Chu Li for Major General Qin, but Major General Qin learned it for himself because of a word from Chu Li!
What a loser!
Now, Chu Li is a married woman. What's good about that?
Just a woman.
What a lack of vision.
King Yin sneered and walked around the room. He became more and more angry. There was nothing to see, so he turned away coldly and walked out.
The maid was secretly shocked but also confused.
Didn't he say he wanted to come to the young master's courtyard to take a look? Why is he not happy now that he's here?
Who provoked him?
At this time, outside the courtyard, a servant led Xiao Yexing and walked quickly:
"Governor Xiao, please."
Xiao Yexing walked with his hands behind his back. He was originally handling important matters, but received an urgent letter from the General's Mansion and had to come here temporarily.
But when he walked to the gate of Tonghua Courtyard and saw that dark red and flamboyant figure, the hairs on his body suddenly tensed up:
"Yin...why is it you?!"
Why did he come to Da Chu for no reason?
The Chu State has been at war for several years, which has cost the people a lot of money and resources. Now that a truce has finally been reached, it is time to restore people's livelihood and enhance national strength. We absolutely do not want to experience any more war.
King Yin's sudden appearance here was no less than Tuoba Mingyue's secret visit to Da Chu and his secret dealings with Chu Yeli.
If his background is good, he can present his credentials and the two countries can meet.
But he happened to visit secretly.
King Yin glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't be nervous. I came here alone. I only brought a dozen secret guards with me at most. I can't cause any trouble."
Xiao Yexing was about to say something, but he saw Qin's father and mother hiding not far away and watching.
The words came to my lips but I held them back:
"You came to look for Qin Muyu, but wasn't he always with you?"
King Yin said calmly: "If he is willing to stay with me, I won't have to worry about him."
Xiao Yexing caught the meaning of this sentence and his eyes suddenly darkened.
so.
Is it because Qin Muyu refused to stay in Nanman that he traveled thousands of miles to come here in person?
Is he coming for Qin Muyu?
His relationship with Qin Muyu...seems to be beyond the normal range.
Xiao Yexing stared at him, "What do you think? The general's family has only one son for nine generations."
"I don't seek instant success, I just want to know what's in his heart. If he is even slightly moved, I will not let go."
"What if he doesn't?"
"If he doesn't have it, I will wait until he has it."
"you!"
Xiao Ye walked a few steps closer, and seeing the confident look on King Yin's face, he said in a deep voice, "I only have this little nephew. Although he was a little rough in my upbringing, I watched him grow up. He must not suffer any injustice."
