"Excuse me, is the city lord here?" Ouyang Yude asked bluntly.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "The city lord went out two days ago. I don't know if he has returned yet. I will send the second young master to the welcoming garden first, and then go to check it out."
Ouyang Yude heard that his tone was very polite, so he stopped talking and just walked forward with him, saying, "My brother is sorry to bother you here."
"No, no," the old man said politely.
"I think your Highness will be reasonable. It is normal for two brothers to meet each other. You will not stop them, right?" Ouyang Yude said to him with a chuckle. His attitude was always very friendly.
The old man didn't hit a smiling person. Although he didn't respond to his words, he smiled and said to him, "Yes, yes, it's all common sense."
"The city lord is really rich. Everyone wears silk and satin. Everything inside and outside the city is brand new. It can be seen that he is even richer than my Sea Country." Ouyang Yude's words became more and more polite.
But he really pleased the old man, so he was naturally happy to hear it, and said: "That's good, everyone knows that your Sea Country is also a rich country with a strong people, and everyone spreads it as a good story."
"You're welcome." Ouyang Yude chuckled, but his expression was also full of pride.
The old man also smiled. He first sent Ouyang Yude to the welcoming garden, and arranged for servants to serve tea, water and snacks. He also ordered to serve fruits, and said, "Please take a rest first, Second Young Master. I will be back soon."
Ouyang Yude nodded slightly.
The old man turned and left the courtyard, and ordered two obedient and capable guards to guard outside the courtyard and make sure that the people of Haiguo did not run around. He then went to Anyan's courtyard to report.
Li Rongsen was pouring tea for An Yan, and said, "Let's see how many people they brought with them first. They won't force anyone to come."
Meidie had a sad look on her face, while Beifeng was comforting her, telling her not to think too much.
An Yan said: "We have to face what we have to face. We have to take responsibility for everything."
For some reason, Beifeng felt a little flustered when he heard this, but he didn't dare to refute it, and he had nothing to refute. Meidie also understood that he would never stay home, and she even knew the reason why he didn't go back.
At this time, the old man came hurriedly from outside and said, "I have already settled the second son of the Sea Country. Now he wants to see his brother."
"I don't want to see him!" Beifeng refused immediately.
An Yan said: "If you don't see him, doesn't that mean you are afraid of him, as if you have something wrong with you."
"No matter what, he is your biological brother. It is unreasonable not to meet him." Li Rongsen reminded him and said, "How about this, I will go with you to meet him. Firstly, it is our West City's courtesy to entertain guests, and secondly, it will give you courage."
"That's a good idea. I think it's feasible." An Yan nodded and added, "You men are also easy to talk to."
Bei Feng frowned and said, "He must want to take me back. How can I not go?"
Mei Die tugged at his sleeve and reminded him, "You can't not go. You have to go. What's the point of angering him? Do you think he will let you go? He might even turn around and bring troops to attack West City. Wouldn't that be our fault?"
This really woke up Bei Feng. He didn't want to cause trouble for Xicheng, so he immediately nodded and agreed, saying, "Okay, let's go."
"You are really something. You are just going to meet your brother, but you are so scared." The old man sneered at him.
Yan Qingqiu also said: "You are also a man, if you are afraid of seeing your brother, how can you protect your woman in the future?"
Bei Feng felt a little embarrassed, and Li Rongsen gestured for him to go with him.
The old man led the way in front of the two of them.
Li Rongsen asked him, "How many people did he bring with him?"
"I didn't bring many people, just three guards and a maid." The old man told him everything.
When Beifeng heard that there were only a few people, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and became a little braver than before.
Ouyang Yude didn't expect that the people in West City were so straightforward. After a cup of tea, he saw Ouyang Beifeng coming. However, he didn't pay attention to him, but stared at Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen was also well-known in this area. People often praised him, saying that he was very handsome, had a tall and strong figure, and even had impeccable character. He was the treasure of the Lord of West City.
When I saw her today, she was indeed different from usual, a wonderful person.
Ouyang Yude secretly compared him with his elder brother Ouyang Mingxi in his heart and found that they were indeed equally matched. However, he had admired his brother since he was a child, so he naturally preferred him and still felt that Li Rongsen was a little inferior.
Li Rongsen followed the old man into the house and said to Ouyang Yude: "Hello, I am Li Rongsen."
"You can just call him Mr. Li." The old man took the initiative to introduce him, and then said to Li Rongsen, "This is the Second Young Master Ouyang, the second prince of the Sea Kingdom."
Ouyang Yude nodded slightly to Li Rongsen and said, "It's a well-known fact, Mr. Li."
"You're welcome." Li Rongsen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling but not smiling. It was hard to tell whether he was really polite or just pretending to be polite.
"Second brother." Bei Feng called out timidly.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"You're so used to playing outside that you don't even know how to go home." Ouyang Yude scolded him bluntly, but his tone was gentle.
Beifeng lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't know what to say.
"This is not your home after all. How can you have the nerve to always trouble others?" Ouyang Yude attacked Beifeng again.
"They don't mind, and they didn't say I can't stay here." Beifeng used Xicheng as a shield.
"So, even my father and my mother don't remember them anymore." Ouyang Yude asked him back.
Bei Feng felt sad when asked this question. He naturally thought about it, but he didn't want to say it out loud.
Li Rongsen found that Ouyang Yude was very capable. He was able to shake Beifeng's mind with just a few words. He didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to what they said next.
Ouyang Yude said to Li Rongsen, "My third brother has been bothering you for days. I am sorry to trouble you. I will take him back today."
"I'm not going back. I'm not going anywhere." Bei Feng objected immediately and walked behind Li Rongsen.
Ouyang Yude knew his third brother's personality very well. He was kind and weak by nature, and easily influenced by others. However, he also needed to pay attention to skills, otherwise he would be a headache if he became naive. He softened his tone and said, "Ask Mr. Li, can escaping solve the problem?"
"I heard that you are choosing a wife for me." Beifeng said with a frown.
"No matter what it is, you should go back and make things clear, right?" Ouyang Yude asked him.
This is true, but the sad wind brings inexplicable fear.
Ouyang Yude added: "We are your relatives, not your enemies. Why are you so afraid to go back? Besides, our father and mother always want to reassure them. How can you bear it?"
What he said makes perfect sense, and no one can refute it.
Bei Feng added: "Who dares to go against Big Brother's wishes? What's the point of me going back and explaining it clearly?"
"What you said is not right. From childhood to adulthood, your elder brother and I have never treated you badly. Everything we did was at your request. Could it be that we have forced you?" Ouyang Yude asked him again.
Although Beifeng agreed to everything voluntarily, he was under pressure most of the time, so he didn't know what to say.
