Chapter 155 I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman looking at me like that!
Um?
Xu Yanyi turned her head and looked over, and saw the Lord of Qingyi County.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Qingyi County Lord was just a bit fancy, but in Xu Yanyi's eyes, she could tell at once that the Qingyi County Lord was coordinating with those men, and every move was pre-planned and fake.
"Is it her?"
Xu Yanyi frowned.
Xiaoyu whispered in Xu Yanyi's ear: "Isn't that the head of Qingyi County? How is she related to Master Yue?"
Xu Yanyi shook her head slightly: "I don't know. Since they are related, let's go and see what's going on."
The two walked forward one after the other. There were already many people gathered around Qingyi County Lord to watch the fun. When they got closer, Xu Yanyi saw a child squatting on the ground crying. It was a pretty little girl.
The Qingyi County Lord pretended to beat those men down, raised his chin arrogantly, looked around and said: "You bullies, how dare you rob a decent woman in broad daylight, I will never let you go today!"
After saying this, the men looked at each other, knelt down and kowtowed one after another: "County Lord, please spare my life! County Lord, please spare my life!"
Xu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. Good fellow, it has only been a short time, has the Qingyi County Lord changed his personality?
Nothing seems right no matter how I look at it.
Moreover, it was obvious that Lord Qingyi had an agreement with those people to cooperate with each other. Lord Qingyi did not know Kung Fu at all.
What kind of medicine is this?
Before Xu Yanyi could figure it out, a bunch of people started praising her in various ways.
"Qingyi County Lord is truly merciful!"
"It's rare to be so righteous!"
"He has no airs at all. This county lord is truly a role model!"
The sky was full of praise, and the little girl who was rescued also knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Qingyi, for saving me! Thank you, Lord Qingyi, for saving me!"
"What is she doing?"
Xu Yanyi frowned.
The Qingyi County Lord waved his hands and said, "It's nothing. Everyone should help others when they see injustice. All right, all of you can leave. The County Lord has other things to do."
After saying this, Lord Qingyi turned and left.
Xu Yanyi looked confused and couldn't help asking the people watching the excitement: "Madam, shouldn't the Qingyi County Lord be in the palace? Why is she making such a big fuss outside to rescue people?"
It was obvious that the lady was very gossipy, and she was quite happy to be asked this question.
The old lady whispered: "The Qingyi County Lady has just arrived in the capital, but she is deeply loved by the Queen Mother. There are rumors that the Queen Mother wants to marry her to the Emperor. Today, she will go to the Dajin Temple to pray for the Emperor on behalf of the Queen Mother. Moreover, she once followed Master Wen Yi of the Dajin Temple to learn the art of playing the zither for a period of time.
I just saved that girl. It was said that the girl was the daughter of Minister Li's concubine. The Minister's wife wanted to sell the girl while Minister Li was not in the city. She happened to meet the Qingyi County Lord and stopped her. I have to say that the Qingyi County Lord is a good person. "
Minister Li?
Xu Yanyi narrowed her eyes and reacted instantly.
I originally thought that the Lord of Qingyi County was a stupid person, but I didn't expect that he was quite smart.
The Princess of Qingyi County has just arrived in the capital. Although she has the support of the empress dowager, in other words, she is also being tightly controlled by the empress dowager. Her natal family is not powerful enough and is far away, so they are not reliable at all. The empress dowager is scheming and cruel, and she is like living with a tiger when she is with the emperor. If she wants to save her life, she must find another backer.
Shangshu Li is usually low-key, but he belongs to the old faction. He does not support the empress dowager or the current emperor, but he is an old minister of three dynasties and has great prestige. Even Mu Nanzhou will give him some face, not to mention the empress dowager and the emperor. If the Princess Qingyi saves Shangshu Li's daughter, even if Shangshu looks down on her, he will help her for this reason.
"I will still plan for myself, but what if Minister Li knew that this was all a show, deliberately done for him?" Xu Yanyi sneered, "Let alone Minister Li, even if the Minister's wife was deceived and thought she could sell this thorn in her eye, she would be furious, right?"
Xiaoyu swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously: "Princess, what do you want to do?"
Xu Yanyi curled her lips and said, "Let's not do anything for now. Let's go and take a look at the Dajin Temple."
Xiaoyu hurriedly followed: "Aren't we going to the Ministry of Justice?"
“No hurry.”
Xu Yanyi said as they walked, "Didn't the lady just say that the Qingyi County Master once studied the piano with Master Wen Yi of the Dajin Temple, and this time she went to the Dajin Temple to pray for blessings. So she might have brought Master Yue to the Dajin Temple. Master Yue is my benefactor, and it is more important to make sure he is still alive."
Xiaoyu nodded, and was about to turn around to look for a carriage, since the Shwedagon Pagoda was quite a distance away, when suddenly a deep blue carriage appeared from the corner and stopped in front of them.
The person driving the car was Mu Nanzhou's bodyguard.
Xu Yanyi was startled, and saw the curtain being lifted. Mu Nanzhou, dressed in black, looked at her with a gloomy and handsome face, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.
Good fellow.
Xu Yanyi had just caused such a big mess for him. Logically, he should be in the palace now, cleaning up and appeasing those ministers. Why did he come here to stop her so soon?
Isn't that too fast?
Just as he was thinking this, Mu Nanzhou swung the soft sword in his hand and directly swung it out, wrapping it around Xu Yanyi's waist. With a force of his wrist, he suddenly pulled Xu Yanyi into the carriage.
Xu Yanyi crashed into his arms with a thud, and she gritted her teeth in pain and cursed: "Mu Nanzhou! Are you sick?"
Mu Nanzhou looked at her coldly and said sarcastically: "Xu Yanyi, you are really good at escaping from the shell of a golden cicada! You want to trap me and then go out to meet your mistress in private? Forget this idea. I will not let you do it! Let's go!"
"yes!"
The driver whipped the horse whip, and the carriage sped away, leaving Xiaoyu far behind. Anxiously, Xiaoyu screamed, "My Lord, where are you taking the princess? Princess! Princess!"
Xu Yanyi quickly struggled out of Mu Nanzhou's arms and turned to jump out of the car. Mu Nanzhou said bluntly: "If you are not afraid of dying or becoming disabled, then just jump."
Shameless!
Damn scumbag!
Xu Yanyi is injured now. If he jumps down, even if he doesn't die, he will be injured even more.
never mind!
She just didn't believe that Mu Nanzhou would dare to sell her out!
Thinking of this, Xu Yanyi sat down with a clear conscience: "It is indeed unwise to jump out of the car. I will never do such a stupid thing. Don't think of throwing me to death."
Mu Nanzhou snorted coldly and stared at her. Who wants to sell her? Even if he sold her, no one would dare to buy her!
What a dare, this damn woman!
Seeing that Mu Nanzhou didn't say anything but just stared at him, Xu Yanyi felt terrified: "What? Have you never seen a beautiful woman? Why are you looking at me like that? Where are you taking me?"
