Xiang Minghou walked to the door, reached out to push it open, but stopped tremblingly. He was a little scared.
Afraid that the person he would see when he opened the door would not be his daughter...
His hand trembled for a while before he withdrew it and stood stiffly at the door.
"Marquis Xiang Ming?"
A voice was heard, and then Zhan Chi, dressed in military armor, hurried over.
He looked up at Xiang Minghou, then looked away.
"Is the little girl in this room?" Zhan Chi asked anxiously.
"Um."
Zhan Chi reached out to push the door open but was stopped by Xiang Minghou.
"Xiang Minghou, what are you doing?"
"She's resting."
Zhan Chi was stunned, withdrew his hand, turned around and stood at the door like a door god.
It is now past midnight, and the knocking on the door disturbs her rest. She was a very good sleeper when she was a child, and she is a little grumpy when she wakes up.
Zhan Chi looked at Ming Hou. It was the first time he saw him since he left Kyoto City. He looked more aggressive than before, and there were several more scars on his face.
"I heard that you have been working as a killer all these years?" He lowered his voice, fearing to disturb the people in the room.
"Um."
"I also heard that he made a lot of enemies."
"It's been cleaned up." The low voice was murderous.
Zhan Chi frowned slightly. It was undeniable that the murderous aura on Xiang Minghou was very similar to Ye Qianning's aura at Sifang Mountain at that time.
"You are a general in the Grand Council, and you have to swear to defend Beili until your death?" He said in a sarcastic and cold tone.
Zhan Chi smiled and said nothing.
The two men were silent, one on the left and one on the right like two door gods. About an hour later, a white figure appeared in their sight.
Qian Fanji walked up to the room, glanced at the closed door, and stood beside it naturally.
"Why are you here too?" Zhan Chi couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you stay in Beili and be a general? Why are you running to Dayu City?" Qian Fanji asked instead of answering.
"In half a month, the Four Nations Commercial Conference will be held. Li Mu, the Commercial Minister, will come, and the Emperor has assigned people from the Grand Council to accompany him."
"Is a small figure in charge of imperial merchants worthy of being escorted by a general like you? It seems that the emperor really values this Lord Li." Qian Fanji said coldly.
"No matter whether he takes it seriously or not, I'm willing to come anyway."
Qian Fanji snorted, put his hands in his sleeves, and stood side by side with Xiang Minghou. No one spoke anymore.
"Tsk tsk, gentlemen, please wait for me to finish speaking..." After much persuasion from the shopkeeper, the attendant at the stairs let him up.
The three of them looked over together.
"The Miss Ye that the guests are looking for went out when it got dark and is not at the inn anymore."
"What did you say?"
Zhan Chi said in shock.
"Although Miss Ye lives in our inn, she seldom comes back. Even if she does, she goes out early and comes back late every day." The shopkeeper said as he secretly observed the expressions of several people.
They don't look like good people, and I don't know what they want with a little girl.
Xiang Minghou clenched his fingers tightly. No, his daughter was not there.
"How about you come back another day?" asked the shopkeeper.
"No, we'll just wait here."
"Well... okay, but Miss Ye's room is paid for, and you can't barge in casually." The shopkeeper knows how to judge people, but doing business requires business principles.
"Hmm." Xiang Minghou hummed softly.
The shopkeeper felt relieved when he saw that several people nodded and seemed to be quite righteous.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a girl came up from the stairs. She was wearing a goose yellow dress with wide sleeves. She was fat, with a round face. She was about 1.67 meters tall and looked like she weighed at least 200 kilograms.
Don't worry, Ye Qianning will be back soon. None of his fathers will recognize him, hahahahaha (please give me your monthly votes). There will be five more chapters later.
