Where did this young man come from? He seems to be very familiar with Gu Jinke?
Gu Jinke was also very surprised: "Why are you two here?"
This was the person she never expected to meet in Qingcheng Mansion.
Sang Yi and Li Yuxin were also very surprised and looked fixedly at the two young masters opposite them.
But the two young masters opposite didn't notice their gazes at all. At this moment, their attention and gazes were all on Gu Jinke.
Jiang Mo looked at the person he was thinking about opposite him, completely ignoring everyone else. He looked Gu Jinke up and down, carefully not missing a single hair. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he met Gu Jinke's surprised gaze and questions, he suddenly became uneasy.
Xue Luan didn't have so many concerns. The young master's eyes were bright. He walked around Gu Jinke and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the surprise on Gu Jinke's face, a big smile appeared on his lips. He straightened his back and said with great satisfaction: "Didn't you expect to meet us here?"
"Hmph!" He snorted and looked at Gu Jinke with a proud look.
"We collected the food and were rewarded by Her Majesty the Queen. This time, Brother Jiang Mo and I were here to escort the food."
His tone was full of complacency. Gu Jinke saw from his expression that "Praise me, praise me, do you think I'm great?"
She thought, if Young Master Xue had a tail, it would probably be sticking up high and shaking constantly.
Just——"escorting food"?
She looked back and saw a huge team. Was this the "third batch of food"?
But how come the third batch of food arrived so quickly? She hadn't received any news.
Moreover, she took one look at the two young masters and didn't know whether to feel relieved or to curse them.
The road to Qingcheng Prefecture was in chaos because of the earthquake, and there were many people trying to take advantage of the situation. Even women had to travel in groups of three or five, for fear of encountering bad guys on the road. Even if the two young masters were following a group, how could they dare to come here recklessly?
She didn't say anything for a moment, but Jiang Mo and Xue Luan had already moved over and stood in front of her.
Jiang Mo keenly noticed that her mood was different and she didn't seem to be simply happy. He was so nervous that he couldn't hold back: "Are you... unhappy?"
Xue Luan next to him was stunned and looked at Gu Jinke's silent face. They came, wasn't she happy?
Gu Jinke looked at the two young masters' confused and uneasy expressions, exhaled lightly, smiled, and reached out to rub Jiang Mo's hair: "No, I'm very happy. Thank you for sending the third batch of supplies. You've worked hard!"
Jiang Mo was stunned. It had been a long time since Gu Jinke treated him so intimately. Looking back, the last time he did this was when he was sad in the palace and Gu Jinke comforted him. He would rub his hair like this.
He stood there in a daze for a moment, all other thoughts gone out of his mind, a blush rising on his face.
Gu Jinke rubbed Jiang Mo's hair and his eyes fell on Xue Luan, but he found that the young man's mouth was pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it. Looking at Gu Jinke, his expression unconsciously became aggrieved and stubborn. He stared at Gu Jinke with his round eyes, which unconsciously turned red.
Well, it was in vain that he worked so hard, traveling day and night to deliver the third batch of food to her. It would have been fine if she didn't praise him, but she was actually unhappy! This is simply too much!
He will never want to... again!
Xue Luan was just about to make a note of Gu Jinke in his mind when he saw Gu Jinke smiling slightly and ruffling his hair: "Well, you've become even better!"
Xue Luan couldn't draw any further in his heart. The fierce aura in his body stagnated and then disappeared. Humph, considering that she praised him, he is such a generous person, so just let her go! However, he snorted: "I have always been very good!"
He emphasized!
Gu Jinke couldn't help but laugh, his eyes fell on him: "You are right."
Xue Luan looked at his smiling phoenix eyes, his face suddenly turned red, and he hummed and became speechless.
People far away could not see the expressions on the two people, but people around Gu Jinke could see them clearly.
Li Yuxin looked at Xue Luan's expression, but his heart skipped a beat and he fell strangely silent. He glanced at Xue Luan's unconscious shyness and arrogance. Thinking of Xue Luan's sparkling eyes and the lie he told when he first came to him because of Gu Jinke, he suddenly turned his head away.
At that time, he didn't know Gu Jinke, and had just heard Li Qi's choice and arrangement. He just didn't want his simple friend to fall in love with a complicated person like Gu Jinke, get hurt, and then become entangled with the royal family and other princesses, and be caught in the vortex of struggle.
So, he said to Xue Luan, "I like Gu Jinke."
But the current situation... He lowered his eyes, with a rare look of confusion in his eyes.
Although Sang Yi was also surprised, he looked at Jiang Mo and Xue Luan and then became silent.
Qiao Xi, on the other hand, stepped forward with a smile and stood beside Gu Jinke. He looked at the two young masters and said familiarly, "Your Highness, would you like to introduce them?"
He was so familiar and natural that Xue Luan and Jiang Mo turned their eyes to him.
But the young man opposite was dressed in black, he was elegant and graceful, and his temperament was calm and excellent. His eyes were confident and determined, and his aura was very similar to Gu Jinke at some point. What's more important is that he had a handsome face and picturesque eyebrows and eyes, just like a gentleman of the same age as them.
When the three of them looked at each other, they couldn't help but look at each other carefully. Then their gazes suddenly became inexplicable, and a magical magnetic field immediately surrounded the three of them.
"Your Highness, who is this young man?" Jiang Mo's brows frowned and then relaxed, he moved closer to Gu Jinke, turned his head and looked at Qiao Xi with a smile.
Gu Jinke was stunned by the two people's questions, but he quickly reacted and said, "It's my duty to introduce you. This is Jiang Mo, Mr. Jiang, and this is Xue Luan, Mr. Xue. They are all my friends."
She paused for a moment and said, "Jiang Mo, Xue Luan, this is someone I met in Qingcheng Mansion, the head of the Qiao family, Young Master Qiao Xi. He helped me a lot and is also my friend."
After Gu Jinke's introduction, the three of them paused smiling, then looked at each other calmly, smiled more naturally, and greeted each other.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xue, nice to meet you."
"Mr. Qiao, nice to meet you."
"Mr. Qiao, nice to meet you."
After saying hello, Qiao Xi looked at the supplies that were delivered by the others and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Master Jiang and Master Xue, for the supplies that were delivered. They can help Your Highness and our Qingcheng Mansion solve the urgent problem! Your Highness, right?"
Jiang Mo's expression changed slightly. As soon as they met, this Mr. Qiao classified His Highness into their camp? The questions were asked in a very casual manner, and it seemed that they indeed had a very good relationship.
It really solved the urgent problem, Gu Jinke nodded. Their experiment with the old farmer had just begun. Once the third batch of supplies arrived, their worries were completely solved. Although she was worried that the two young masters Jiang Mo and Xue Luan would run out alone, she had to say that the third batch of supplies they brought really made Gu Jinke very happy and surprised.
Now, Qingcheng Prefecture can rebuild with full enthusiasm!
Gu Jinke nodded, and Qiao Xi smiled: "Then I would like to take the liberty to thank the two gentlemen on behalf of His Highness and the people of Qingcheng Prefecture!"
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you!"
Xue Luan didn't understand the twists and turns here. He just instinctively felt that Qiao Xi's behavior made him uncomfortable, but it seemed that Qiao Xi was not wrong?
This made him bite his lip in entanglement, and he instinctively said: "No need to thank me, for the people of Qingcheng Prefecture, for His Highness, these are what we should do. Your Highness has also helped me, so there is no need for you to help thank me!"
After he finished speaking, he no longer looked at Qiao Xi, but raised his arm towards Gu Jinke, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "Didn't you say that I was your worst student? Humph, I studied hard at home and practiced on the way here. You can check my results today now, absolutely!"
He paused for a moment, then spoke word by word: "Let me surprise you!"
Gu Jinke looked in the direction where he was speaking. The young man was dressed in goose yellow clothes. Although he looked a little dusty, his brows had indeed lost some of their childishness and had become more resolute. He was holding a bow, and Gu Jinke noticed that there was some gauze wrapped around his fingers. He had a quiver on his back, and he looked high-spirited, proud, and unbridled.
Gu Jinke thought of Xue Luan who was crying in the capital for a pheasant, and his expression became relaxed. There was more smile and indulgence in his eyes: "Okay!"
The smile on Qiao Xi's lips was almost frozen by Xue Luan's straightforwardness. Then Jiang Mo looked at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Xue is right. Your Highness and I have known each other for many years. We have known each other since childhood. We don't need others to thank him on our behalf."
Qiao Xi: We have been friends for many years, and have known each other since childhood?
He looked at Gu Jinke who was unconsciously indulging and smiling at Xue Luan, frowned, and then smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, Qiao Xi didn't know the deep friendship between the two young masters and Your Highness, I am presumptuous, but Qiao Xi really wants to thank the two young masters."
He paused, looked at Gu Jinke's profile, and said with sincere gratitude: "Your Highness has been worried for many days because of the third batch of grain. These days, in order to solve this problem, Your Highness and we often stayed up late at night, looking through books, and going to the ridges of the fields... Now the two young masters have solved our predicament. Qiao Xi was so happy and grateful, and he was grateful for Your Highness's hard work these days, so he said... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
His awkward smile made Jiang Mo and Xue Luan's previous words seem more aggressive. Xue Luan puffed up his cheeks unconsciously, as if this guy was bullying him.
Jiang Mo also frowned and looked at Qiao Xi, with a wary look in his eyes, but he said gently: "It's just a small matter, Mr. Qiao, there is no need to be so. We also want to thank you for your help to His Highness in Qingcheng Mansion."
Qiao Xi smiled slightly, looking at Gu Jinke with sparkling eyes, admiring and respecting him: "Your Highness loves the people like his own children, and saved Qingcheng Mansion and me. Whatever Qiao Xi does is what he should do."
Gu Jinke was stared at by him with such intensity that even though he was used to it, he still felt uncomfortable and even wanted to take a step back.
I don't know if Qiao Xi noticed it. He suppressed the heat in his eyes, looked at Jiang Mo and Xue Luan, and then looked at Gu Jinke "gently like water": "Your Highness, Master Jiang and Master Xue have come from a long distance, and they must be very tired. Why don't we arrange for the two masters to take a bath and rest first, and then Qiao Xi and Your Highness will receive the supplies that have arrived this time?"
Gu Jinke looked at Jiang Mo and Xue Luan.
Jiang Mo and Xue Luan looked at Qiao Xi, whose smile was "gentle as water", with a slight gleam in their eyes. Their intuition told them that they should not retreat now.
But what Qiao Xi said was not wrong. They had been traveling all the way and were indeed very tired. If they had not met Gu Jinke, they would not be in such good spirits now. Moreover, Qiao Xi's clothes were clean while they were covered in dust. This contrast made them feel very uncomfortable, as if they had lost.
But if we retreat to rest, should we let this Qiao Xi accompany His Highness to check the "supplies"?
However, why didn't they accompany the prince to see the supplies that they had raised funds for and sent over with great effort? Could it be that Qiao Xi was more familiar with these supplies than they were?
They haven't even had a chance to speak to His Highness yet.
Jiang Mo clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Xue Luan's keen intuition also made him grip his bow tightly.
The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time: This Josh is really annoying!
Gu Jinke didn’t think so much about it. He just thought that the two men came here exhausted and should really rest more. After they had rested, Gu Jinke still had many questions to ask them.
Therefore, they were about to arrange for them to go down and rest, but they saw a figure in a black cloak behind them move, take a few steps forward, bow, and a rough and unpleasant voice sounded.
The author has something to say:
It’s so funny that the three princesses didn’t even have time to appear.
The Dragon Boat Festival is here, remember to eat Zongzi~
