The night was dark and gloomy. When An Tingyu and others rode their horses at full speed to arrive at Yuyan Kingdom, it was already six hours later.
When we arrived at the place Jing Aotian mentioned, we found it was a luxurious mansion with proud stone lions and strict guards at the gate. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary place.
"Who are you? Why are you loitering in front of the Lei Mansion in the middle of the night?" One of the guards shouted as he walked in.
Dang Yan stepped forward, handed a letter to the guard, and said, "My name is Dang, and that's my eldest daughter. This is a letter that a distant friend asked my daughter to deliver to the master of the Lei Mansion. Please pass it on. We will be waiting here."
"Wait here!" The guard went in with the letter and came back a moment later, followed by a maid. The maid ordered the guard to open the door and said respectfully, "Everyone, my master wants to see you!"
When An Tingyu and the others walked in, another guard at the door asked, "Who are they? It's so strange that I would meet them in the middle of the night!"
Their master, Lei Ming, is a man with a strange temper. He does everything based on his interest. If he is happy, anything can be discussed. When he is unhappy, it is the opposite. Nothing can be discussed. Lei Ming is in charge of countless shops. He is an aristocrat among aristocrats. It is difficult for people to meet him, not to mention that it is the middle of the night.
"How would I know? When I first went in and called for my master, he got really angry and said I was disturbing his sweet dreams. But after he read the letter, he told me to invite them in right away."
"It seems he's a distinguished guest among distinguished guests. I remember a similar incident happened before, also in the middle of the night, but that time I came to greet him personally! Do you think it could be 'that person'?"
Upon hearing this, the guard who had just entered the room to deliver the message fell silent. The 'that person' his colleague was referring to was actually their master's master, and also their new boss. However, none of them had ever seen this boss before.
Following the maid's steps, they came to an elegant hall. At this time, a man was sitting in the hall. The man was wearing a simple silver robe, with his hair draped over his shoulders without any bun. It was obvious that the man got up from the bed in a hurry because of their arrival.
Just one glance and An Tingyu said a word in her heart: smiling tiger. This was a man with a smiling face, but she could not see any smile in his eyes.
While An Tingyu was looking at Lei Ming, Lei Ming was also looking at her.
Is this the woman that the Nineteenth Generation was talking about? I didn't expect her to be so ugly. But why would the Nineteenth Generation let him protect such a woman?
Suddenly, Lei Ming's eyes swept across an object. When he saw that thing, he suddenly understood. It turned out to be her. He remembered that eight months ago, Fengyun had sent an order, Lord Fengteng, to protect her well.
It turns out that Feng Teng is now in the hands of this woman. No wonder the 19th generation asked him to protect such a woman.
"Wow~"
Suddenly, the crying of a baby was heard in the lobby, breaking the silence. An Tingyu turned around and saw Xiao Xier sucking her little finger tightly.
"Miss, the young master seems hungry!" Xing'er said.
An Tingyu looked back at Lei Ming, as if asking, Can you give me a room?
Lei Ming smiled and said, "What's your name, young lady?"
Hearing this, An Tingyu was stunned, "You don't know?"
"Do you think I should know?" Lei Ming handed her the letter on the table, as if letting her read it herself.
An Tingyu was a little confused, but still took it. But when she saw it, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. There were only a few words written in the letter: The holder of this letter will be protected, Jing Aotian.
"It seems that the girl can already understand my helplessness." Seeing An Tingyu's extremely depressed expression, Lei Ming laughed.
"My surname is An, and my given name is Tingyu. Mr. Lei, you can follow Prince Jing and call me Miss An. They are Dang Yan, Xing'er, and my son Yunxi." An Tingyu briefly explained. Lei Ming nodded, indicating that he understood. "Then Miss An, you plan to stay for a few days this time."
"one day!"
"Huh?!" Lei Ming was stunned. "One day?"
"Yes, just one day. It takes four days to travel back and forth between the two countries. I will only stay here for one day."
"Then Miss An, please go and rest! Chen Fei, take Miss An and the others down to rest." Lei Ming said calmly, but in his heart, he was confused. He needed his protection all day long. What on earth was this An Tingyu doing here? And he calculated the time to go back and forth. Such a tight time. Is it really a very important matter? Otherwise, the 19th generation would not use him.
"yes!"
The maid Shen Fei who brought them in responded respectfully, and then said "please" to An Tingyu and the others. An Tingyu and the others followed Shen Fei to an elegant courtyard. This courtyard was a quadrangle. The main entrance was a small hall, with several rooms on both sides.
"This was originally where my cousin lived, but she went back to Tianmen, so you all can stay here for one night!" After saying that, Chen Fei left. An Tingyu randomly chose a room and settled Xiao Xier before coming out.
"Why don't you go to rest?" An Yu said when he saw Dang Yan standing outside the door.
When Yan looked at her in silence, An Tingyu seemed to understand his thoughts, so she continued: "Although we don't know this person, since it was arranged by Jing Aotian, this person should be trustworthy. Not to mention that we are now in enemy territory, it is not a bad thing to have someone to look after us."
"Go and rest! Regain your strength. There's another battle tomorrow, and we must win."
"Yes, Dang Yan understands!" After that, Dang Yan left, leaving An Tingyu standing there alone. She looked up at the sky, but her thoughts drifted to the horizon.
