As he said this, he shrugged his shoulders and shuddered. Little Tanzi sneered and grinned in feigned fear:
"Why do I feel like those who stay here are all going to work as laborers in the coal mines and live a life of darkness? It seems that those who are willing to take the money and leave are the smart ones."
Zhang Yuan said again with a serious expression:
"When I came out, someone was following me. I have to leave. If I stay here for too long, it will easily arouse their suspicion."
Leng Yu nodded and instructed:
"Go! Be careful about everything. No matter what, you must ensure your own safety and keep in touch with Xiao Lingzi and the others at all times."
Zhang Yuan saluted Leng Yu with his fists, picked up the sword on the table, turned around and left.
Xiao Tanzi also clasped his fists towards Leng Yu and said:
"Your Highness, Brother Yuan has left. I will also go to Changhai Hutong again and then go to Lingyun Villa to meet him. Your Highness, take care."
Leng Yu also clasped his fists and replied:
"You guys take care of yourselves too."
After he finished speaking, Xiaotanzi turned around and left quickly.
The rest of the people were looking at Leng Yu, waiting for him to speak.
Leng Yu thought for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, and said coldly:
"go back."
He turned to look at Luo Lan, smiled at her, and stretched out his hand. Luo Lan put her hand in his, stood up with him, and walked outside.
When they returned to Longwu Villa, the arena had become much quieter and there were no more people competing on the stage. This was in stark contrast to the bustle of the morning.
As soon as Leng Yu and Luo Lan walked into the gate of Longwu Villa, the housekeeper came to greet them warmly.
"Your Majesty, the Second Manor Master has returned and is waiting for you in the main hall."
oh?
Leng Yu was very curious about the Second Manor Master. He nodded and replied:
"Thank you for the reminder, butler. I'll go right away."
The butler continued:
"And General Wu, he seemed very happy to hear you were coming. He even arranged for someone to buy a lot of food, saying he wanted to treat you well."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.
Wu Hong, you finally showed up.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered to Luo Lan:
"If you don't want to see him, go back to your room and rest!"
"Let me go with my husband. We are both from the capital, and it would seem stingy if we don't see each other."
Leng Yu nodded with a smile, "Okay."
After saying that, he took her hand and walked towards the main hall together.
When they arrived at the main hall of the villa, the place was already full. Long Changyun was sitting at the head of the table. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly stood up to greet him, pointing at Long Changsheng who had come with him and introducing him:
"Prince Yu, this is my second brother, the second owner of Longwu Villa. He's been busy preparing for the martial arts conference these days, so he's rarely been seen in the villa recently. He just apologized for not paying his respects to you sooner."
After Long Changyun finished his introduction, Long Changsheng clasped his fists and said:
"Your Highness has come a long way, but I only returned today to pay my respects to you. I am truly neglectful. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."
Leng Yu took a look at the second owner of the manor. Although he looked thin, he looked very smart. Just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that he and Long Changsheng had completely different personalities.
Leng Yu also humbly clasped his fists and replied:
"Second Master, you are too polite. My wife and I just came back from the streets and saw many people from other places in the city. I guess many people have come to participate in the martial arts conference recently. It is only natural that Second Master is busy."
Hearing this, Long Changsheng looked at Luo Lan and hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"I've long heard that Princess Yu is no ordinary person. Although she grew up in the countryside, she possesses immense talent. Now that she's confirmed to be the daughter of the Duke of Protectorate, I'm truly curious about her. Seeing her today, Princess Yu truly exudes an aura of intelligence not found in ordinary women. What a pleasure to meet you!"
Luo Lan smiled at him, leaned forward and said with a smile:
"Second Master, you are too polite."
At this time, Leng Yu looked at Wu Hong, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Yesterday, I heard from the owner of the manor that General Wu had arrived. I was wondering why I hadn't seen him. I just don't know why General Wu suddenly came to Quancheng. Is he on official business?"
Hearing this, Wu Hong walked towards Leng Yu while clasping his fists, and said with a dagger hidden in his smile:
"Prince Yu, you're joking. I don't have any official business to attend to. I just heard that a martial arts conference is going to be held in Quan City. It just so happens that the army has nothing to do these days, and I haven't seen the owner of Long Er Manor in many years, so I came to see the excitement. I didn't expect to run into Prince Yu here. It's really fate."
Having said that, he suddenly looked at Luo Lan, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"I heard that Prince Yu took Princess Yu on a scenic trip. Why are they in Quancheng? Are they also interested in the martial arts conference?"
Leng Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly:
"We were just passing by and heard there was a lot of fun here, so we stopped by to take a look. I didn't expect that General Wu would also have the elegance to come here to join in the fun."
Wu Hong frowned, pretending to be nonchalant and laughed:
"I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule. By the way, I've asked the farm's cook to prepare some good wine and food tonight. Since we've met here, it's fate. If we're destined to meet, we should drink."
Leng Yu raised her eyes slightly and nodded generously.
"Okay, then I'll obey your command."
Seeing that everyone was standing in the main hall and talking, Long Changyun waved his hands and said:
"Okay, everyone, stop standing and sit down and talk. Someone, bring the tea."
Wu Hong then made an invitation gesture, sat down with Leng Yu, and chatted about the martial arts conference.
There were quite a lot of people at the dinner, including Long Changyun's second and third wives, Long Yongcheng, Long Xiaomin, and Long Changsheng's five wives. According to information Ah Cai had found out, Long Changsheng had originally planned to only let the first wife attend the dinner, but the other four wives insisted on coming, so he had no choice but to let them come together.
