They didn't even go in to report it.
Xiao Tangzhen felt a chill run down her spine for this young man.
“I have the stone on this.”
"I've already told you, I've seen plenty of swindlers like you, don't be naive!"
Xiao Tang rolled her eyes countless times.
She couldn't be bothered to waste time talking to this guy.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, a male voice came from inside the door.
His tone was displeased: "What's all this noise about?"
"My lord!"
The guards lowered their heads, not daring to meet the eyes of the man who came out.
The men of the Northern Frontier have a wheatish complexion, and their facial features are more defined than those of the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty, with particularly prominent noses.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Tang also looked up at the man.
The man was handsome, especially his face, which was high and straight, making his eyes appear even deeper.
It also inexplicably revealed a hint of melancholy.
However, his temperament is quite different from that of the main villain.
The main villain appears to be colder, and this man also possesses a fearsome aura.
The only difference is that he always has a bloodthirsty, ruthless streak.
One look at him and you can tell he's a soldier, the kind of man a military general would be.
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be preparing to go out.
"My lord, there is a young man here who says he has a stone to offer you, saying that it is... the Taotie Stone we are looking for."
"I've encountered a lot of these kinds of films lately, so..."
"Hey, isn't this Hao Fang?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tang looked up at the man who had appeared, the Marquis of Dingbei.
Oh.
Isn't that Di Yanhen, that scoundrel of a male lead?
Enemies meet on a narrow road.
As expected, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
This male protagonist took this line to the extreme.
Marquis Ning Cang of Dingbei seemed somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow slightly, "You two know each other?"
Behind him, Di Yanhen wore a deep blue robe, which complemented the bright sunshine perfectly.
He smiled brightly, "Of course I recognize him. Does the Marquis not know Hao Fang? Wasn't it this man who caused me to lose three thousand rebel soldiers last time?"
He glared at Xiao Tang, his eyes filled with venom.
Faced with this peacock who seemed to be smiling while hiding a knife, Xiao Tang feigned surprise and lightly covered her mouth.
"Huh? Really? Last time, those three thousand rebels were thanks to me? How come I didn't know about that?"
Her exaggerated performance only made Di Yanhen feel even more disgusted.
"Hao Fang, you've come here to die, haven't you?"
He had already reached for the sword at his waist.
Xiao Tang casually weighed the hairpin in her hand. "Oh, before you two draw your swords, don't you plan to find out what you want?"
Just as Di Yanhen was about to draw his sword, Ning Cang stopped him.
"Wait a minute." Ning Cang stared at the hairpin in Xiao Tang's hand.
The end of the hairpin is inlaid with a red stone that sparkles like agate.
But he recognized the stone at a glance.
"This is what I want!"
He spoke in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the stone, his eyes shining.
He never expected that what he had been searching for would come to him so easily!
Staring at the stone, my heart wavered.
"This...this is really what the Marquis wanted?" Di Yanhen asked incredulously, slowly sheathing his sword.
Fortunately, I didn't make a move.
If he ruins the Marquis of Dingbei's plans, he'll be in deep trouble.
Although they are cooperating, he is now essentially living under someone else's roof.
Xiao Tang raised the corners of her lips, "Then it seems I really came to the right place."
She tucked the hairpin into her sleeve.
"Are you two leaving the residence? If so, I will come another day."
Now that she has the leverage, she won't give it up so easily.
It is said that this hairpin fell into her hands. Evil objects like the Taotie Stone are likely to attract all sorts of strange and malevolent things.
Of course, given her special status and the protection of good fortune, she need not worry about being devoured by these evil creatures.
But this may not be the case for ordinary people.
Aside from the male lead who's a dog.
Does the male protagonist in the dog-themed movie have a protagonist's halo?
This certainly cannot be generalized.
Ning Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to see through Xiao Tang. "Mr. Hao Fang rarely comes here. In that case, please come inside and rest."
Invited into the house, Xiao Tang gladly accepted.
As she passed Di Yanhen, she smiled calmly at his resentful gaze.
She gave the man a victorious smile.
It was also a mockery of his overestimation of his abilities.
Provoked by her smile, Di Yanhen became even angrier, standing there, gritting his teeth.
But out of consideration for the Gluttonous Stone, he held back.
It should be noted that this Taotie Stone, and the Nirvana Jade Pendant in Di Jingling's hands, are both ancient artifacts.
No one knows what the connection is between the two objects, or what secrets they hold, but Di Yanhen has known since childhood that he wants to seize the Nirvana Jade Pendant.
Unfortunately... he was no match for Di Jingling.
Xiao Tang followed them into the manor, showing no interest whatsoever in the layout of the entire residence, but keeping her eyes fixed on Ning Cang.
Ning Cang's temperament is something even the male lead can't match.
They can certainly be compared to the main villains.
She stared at the man's tall, broad back and touched her chin.
However, if it comes down to winning or losing, she'd still be willing to side with the villain.
Who can blame her, since the main villain is now her husband?
While he was thinking about his own things, Ning Cang suddenly fell to the ground with a "thud".
[Beep... Reminding the host to complete the task as soon as possible.]
"My lord!"
The guards and maids around them hurriedly surrounded them.
