Xiao Cunyu took out the gift, and Xiao Kairui was happy to help: "Who do you want to give it to?"
"Let's not talk about this matter for now. When you arrive in the capital, someone will tell you." Xiao Cunyu smiled, a little cunningly.
Xiao Liulang shook his head. "You're such a secretive person. You wouldn't even tell the truth about a gift... Well, we've known each other for a while now, and I treat you like a brother. It's rare for you to ask me to do something, so I'll definitely do it."
"Of course I believe Sixth Brother." Xiao Cunyu smiled.
Xiao Kairui didn't think too much about it. Many of his friends in Yunzhou called him that, so he didn't think the name "Xiao Jingmao" in front of him was special.
The two of them drank and talked about everything.
Afterwards, Xiao Cunyu said goodbye to him.
A few days later, Xiao Kairui and his family returned to Beijing.
After Xiao Cunyu collected some ghosts, he rode his horse and left Yunzhou, heading in other directions.
More than two months later, Xiao Kairui arrived in the capital and waited for several days, but still no one told him who the thing was to be given to. He was a little anxious. It happened that there was a banquet at Xiao's uncle's house that day. Xiao Kairui was chatting with his elder brother and talked about "Xiao Jingmao".
"This virtuous brother Jingmao is very extraordinary, and we get along very well. His character makes me admire him immensely. The other day, I took my men out to rob, but unfortunately, we were tricked by bandits. Although we had reinforcements, they didn't show up, so we were bound to suffer. Who knew that virtuous brother Jingmao would suddenly appear from the sky! He was holding a precious sword, like a golden immortal, and he fought against a hundred people alone, and actually captured the bandit leader!"
"I wanted to recruit you to work under father, but he refused. What a pity!" Xiao Kairui said, taking another sip of wine. "He could drink incredibly well, even you, big brother, couldn't match him. Now I don't know where he's gone, and I can't even do what he asked me to do. I don't even know who to give the things in this box to..."
Xiao Jingyun listened, his head buzzing.
Why does the person that Sixth Brother mentioned feel... so familiar?
Jing Mao? Isn't that... the heir of the Yuyong Marquis family?
"The person you are talking about... has a sword in his hand that is inlaid with all kinds of gems, and it seems to be shining with colorful light under the sunlight?" Xiao Jingyun asked.
"Yes, that sword is the most beautiful weapon I have ever seen in my life!" Xiao Liulang praised.
"Is that person weird, always staring at an empty place in a daze? Or is he mumbling to himself and having a lively conversation with someone?" Xiao Jingyun asked again.
"Yes, brother, how did you know?" Xiao Liulang was a little puzzled.
Xiao Jingyun exhaled, "That man was accompanied by a burly man? His name was Tieyi?"
“…” Xiao Liulang was stunned.
"You fool! That's my seventh brother! What Brother Jingmao? Are you listening to her nonsense?! She entered the academy earlier and met some classmates, one of whom was Zhou Jingmao. She cheated a lot of money from others, so she had a very good relationship with Zhou Jingmao! She was out and saw that you didn't recognize her, so she deliberately lied to you! Whatever gift she asked you to bring, give it to you!" Xiao Jingyun had never seen such a stupid person.
How many letters had he written to his sixth brother? Even though he hadn't mentioned such trivial matters as the names of his seventh brother's guards, he had already described his seventh brother's character in detail. Couldn't he have used his brain to connect the dots?!
"Brother! You said that was our seventh...sister!?" Xiao Kairui was really...broken.
