Chapter 117: Beauty is definitely not enough, you also need means
Huo Xiao looked at her and his pupils narrowed slightly.
Just a decisive second.
His eyes were filled with relief.
The princess likes him, so what right does he have to stop her?
Lu Mingfeng, who had the same idea as him, clenched his hands into fists at his sides.
"General Huo, I will take the two of them back to the Dali Temple first."
When Lu Mingfeng escorted the King of Xijing and the Second Prince of Xijing to the Dali Temple and explained all the matters, it was already three quarters past midnight.
He had just walked out of the Dali Temple when a dark shadow flashed over his head.
Lu Mingfeng's eyes darkened, and he held his breath and chased after him.
This person's lightness skill was extremely high, and he disappeared in a few flashes.
Just when he was hesitating about which direction to chase.
The black shadow stepped on the leaves and flew into the inner courtyard of the princess's mansion.
Lu Mingfeng's heart tightened as he thought about the tragic massacre at the princess's mansion by spies from Xijing a few days ago.
His heart suddenly panicked and he jumped up.
A man wearing a mask and nightgown blocked his way.
"I am Xuan Qing, the Black Guard, here to see Lord Lu."
Xuanqing?
Leader of the Xuanyi Guards?
Lu Mingfeng's eyes tightened, "Why are you here?"
"I am ordered to protect the princess."
After saying this, Xuan Qing raised his eyes and looked at Lu Mingfeng, "Sir Lu, there's no need to chase him. The man in black who just entered the princess' inner courtyard is General Huo."
General Huo.
Hearing these three words, Lu Mingfeng's heart suddenly tightened, "Why should I believe you?"
Xuan Qing took out a token from his waist and handed it to Lu Mingfeng.
"Lord Lu is so cautious, he is worthy of being the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple."
In fact, Lu Mingfeng had already recognized the mask on Xuan Qing's face when he appeared in front of him.
"Since you are General Huo, why don't you go through the main gate instead of using Qinggong to enter..."
"Lord Lu, I am only responsible for the Princess's safety. Ever since the incident at the Princess's residence, the Emperor has sent more imperial guards to guard the place. General Huo has been inside for so long without saying anything. This only means that whether General Huo entered through the main gate or the flying window, the Princess tacitly approved it."
Lu Mingfeng pursed his lips tightly into a straight line. He returned the token to Xuan Qing's hand and said, "I was worrying too much."
"Lord Lu is also concerned about the safety of the eldest princess. If there is nothing else, I will go back to protect the princess."
Lu Mingfeng nodded lightly.
Xuan Qing flew away and disappeared into the night.
Lu Mingfeng stood there, staring at the place where Huo Xiao's figure disappeared for a long time before he came to his senses.
The scenes of that night at Linglong Pavilion kept flashing in my mind.
Obviously there was nothing wrong, but he somehow returned to the Dali Temple.
As soon as I reached the door, I met the chief constable from Dali Temple.
"Master Lu, why are you back again? Is there anything you haven't finished? It's getting late, why don't you go back and rest early and let your subordinates handle it."
Lu Mingfeng shook his head indifferently and looked up at him.
He was about to say "No," but suddenly something occurred to him, and he changed the words to, "I remember you're married?"
The captain was stunned by the question and scratched his head foolishly, "It's been two years since we got married. When we got married, Lord Lu even went to have a drink."
Lu Mingfeng nodded and repeated, "Yes, I also went to eat and drink."
The chief constable was dumbfounded. What happened to the Lord Temple Minister today?
Why did I suddenly think of asking this?
Could it be that the matter between the King of Xijing and the Second Prince of Xijing is too difficult?
The whole person looked not in good spirits.
"Master Lu, don't worry. The King of Xijing and the Second Prince of Xijing have been chained up and have pills stuffed in their mouths. The jailers are taking turns watching over them. There will definitely be no problems. You can go back and rest."
Lu Mingfeng seemed not to hear what he was saying and continued to ask, "How did you and your wife meet?"
Captain: ???
Could this matter be related to the trial?
The captain was once again confused. "To answer Lord Lu, my wife and I are from the same village. We often played together as children. Later, our parents felt that we were a good match, so they arranged the marriage after my wife came of age."
"Before you got married, you and your wife..." At this point, Lu Mingfeng's expression became a little unnatural, "...what did you say to your wife when you met?"
The captain's eyes flickered, and his expression became very serious. "Sir Lu, men and women should not touch each other. Before my wife and I got married, we never met privately."
"What about after you get married? After you get married, what do you say to your wife when you see her?" Lu Mingfeng asked immediately.
Chief Constable: ...
"Master Lu, what exactly do you want to ask?" The captain's face flushed with shame. "Just some... Oh, Master Lu, what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly think of asking me this?"
Lu Mingfeng suddenly came to his senses and realized that he really shouldn't have done that.
He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, as if deliberately hiding something. "It's a friend of mine. He wants me to help him ask. He said his family has introduced him to a girl, and every time he meets her, he doesn't know what to say."
The captain suddenly realized, "Sir Lu, I am just a rough man, and my wife is also an ordinary peasant girl. Your friend must be a scholar, and that girl must also be a daughter of a wealthy family. This subordinate really doesn't know."
Lu Mingfeng frowned deeply. "My friend isn't a scholar either, but the girl they introduced him to is from a very noble family, and he just doesn't know how to get close to her."
The captain understood for a moment, "Master Lu, I'm completely confused. Could it be that your friend wants to seduce that girl?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng choked on his own saliva and started coughing violently, "Seduction?"
The captain was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Lu Mingfeng denied it flatly, "I just don't know how to get along with you."
"Master Lu, I'm just a rough guy. How can I get along with the daughters of those noble families? If you ask me, I don't know."
The captain's eyes turned, "Sir Lu, didn't we catch a spy from the Nanfeng Pavilion last year? He's been there for so long, he must have seen all kinds of women. He was the top girl there back then. To be the top girl, it's definitely not enough to just have good looks; you need some skills too."
Nanfeng Pavilion?
"That kind of despicable person only does vile things. I just... my friend just wants to understand..."
Lu Mingfeng's face suddenly darkened. After a pause, he continued, "There's no point in emulating someone who's not up to par. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest."
Chief Constable: ...
Why did Lord Lu react so strongly?
Isn't it a matter between friends?
It seems that this person should be Lord Lu’s close friend.
After the head constable saluted and left, Lu Mingfeng looked like he was struggling for a long time, then turned around and went back to the Dali Temple.
