Chapter 165 True and False
After eating a small pot of pickles and boiled tofu, at least the body can be warm for a while, but some people's stomachs are still hungry, and some people's mouths are also hungry.
Until the Dabian stove was finally served, Qin Lang and his party were finally satisfied with their meal and were about to go home when there was a knock on the door outside the private room.
Dong dong dong——
“?”
The knock on the door was very light, which was too respectful for ordinary guests. The waiter at the Lion House was not like this, so Qin Lang frowned:
"Who is it?"
"Young Master Qin, we were sent by Mr. Huang, the prefect of Yangzhou. After returning from the capital, he learned about the amazing performance of Mr. Young Hero in the Heaven and Earth Arena. He cherished his talent and specially ordered me to invite Mr. Qin to go to the government office to have a talk."
Yangzhou magistrate?
For some reason, Qin Lang instinctively felt something wrong when he heard the word "prefect".
"Come in."
Qin Lang responded, the door opened, and four young people walked in. Qin Lang was suddenly surprised.
Because although these four people look young, it can be judged from their almost silent footsteps that they are not weak in martial arts, and they are all outstanding talents in martial arts.
“Young Hero Qin Lang.”
One of them clasped his fists and nodded:
"Master Huang has been interested in inviting the young hero to be a guest since he heard the name of the young hero. I hope the young hero will agree."
"..."
Qin Lang did not reply, but talked to the girl They exchanged glances.
The few people who came in also took this time to look at the other people on the table, and found to their horror that except for a girl in black with her back turned and an innocent little girl, There is a woman in a red dress whose face is hard to see clearly.
They discovered that even though there was no cover like a face mask, when they wanted to look at this woman, it was as if there was an intangible layer of fog in front of their eyes, or they could not remember her face at all.
This strange situation immediately made several people realize that this Qin Lang was not only a tough man himself, but he was also accompanied by an expert.
"Master Huang, why did you invite me at this time?"
Qin Lang suddenly spoke, and the other party immediately replied:
"Master Huang originally wanted to invite the young knight Let’s have lunch together, but it happens that the young hero is already having lunch, so we don’t want to disturb him, so we waited until now to invite him.”
“That is to say”
Qin Lang looked down at the table and took a sip of tea:
"Master Huang is sending you to follow me?"
"This..."
The four visiting people looked at each other, a little confused. Embarrassed, and just thinking about how to explain, Qin Lang waved his hand directly:
"I understand, you can lead the way."
"Yes, please, young hero!"
"Qin Lang..."
Gu Jin pulled her boyfriend's hand with a worried look on her face. After all, the person came so suddenly. Who knew the name of the person? What's going on with Qin Lang's magistrate?
However, Qin Lang understands that if the other party is really the magistrate of Yangzhou, then refusing it will only attract more invitations, which is too annoying, so why not meet in person? It’s good to say it clearly once and for all.
So, after quietly comforting Miss Jin, Qin Lang followed the four of them.
Su Yupan and Zhuo Beibei obviously had the same idea as Qin Lang, so they didn't say much at all.
It was even said that Su Yupan, who had long been aware of being targeted around the Lion Tower, deliberately did not hide the aura of the group, nor did he release any pressure, just to see what was going on. Someone is being sneaky.
"It turns out to be the prefect of Yangzhou. It seems that the person who secretly followed after the ring is also one of his."
Su Yupan murmured to himself, recalling this in his mind Magistrate Huang, in my impression, is an official with relatively mediocre political achievements, but a pretty good reputation.
“Hmph, what kind of good person can there be who likes to play stalker.”
Zhuo Beibei held his cheek with one hand and fished randomly in the copper stove with chopsticks with the other hand: "This person named Huang must not be a good official. How can he not care about the emperor?"
" Managing people based on your imagination? Being an emperor is not like playing tricks..."
"Really, I feel the same way anyway."
"..."
Su Yupan didn't talk to Zhuo Beibei about this, because she knew it wouldn't make sense. After all, Zhuo Beibei had given up on the Tianhe Sect he founded.
"But this Huang Youwan is a little strange. Although everyone says that he loves talents and so on, I always feel...does he love a little too much?"
As Zhuo Beibei As said, sending people to follow others is not a good thing.
In addition, Qin Lang once said that he met a beggar who was blocking the road with good martial arts. The identity tag he dropped had the word "Juxian" written on it, and it happened to be "Juxian" in Yangzhou. The pavilion is also divided into the yamen boundary.
Originally, Su Yupan didn't think much about it when he learned about it, but now the Yangzhou prefect sent people to follow Qin Lang. The two things put together make this prefect look a little weird.
At least for now, it seems that Huang Wanyou, who does not have a high presence in the court, is not well-established in Su Yupan's heart.
The status of a fourth-rank official in the imperial court does not sit well with the emperor. This matter is both small and big.
So, Su Yupan, who thought more and more, simply closed his eyes for some reason. When he opened them after a while, his apricot eyes suddenly became more dignified and awe-inspiring.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuo Beibei, who had just said he was full, now ordered another plate of mushrooms and thousands of shredded silk threads, eating them with chopsticks. Her cheeks were bulging, and she blinked her big eyes and looked at Su Yupan curiously:
"I've been so happy these past few days. It's really rare to see your expression like this."
"Happy...?"
The empress was startled:
"What kind of joy are you having?" ”
“No?”
Zhuo Beibei stared at her with neither joy nor sorrow:
"Aren't you happy to be in Qin Lang's arms here and there every day?"
"How can I not!"< br>
"No, no, why are you blushing."
"I..."
"Huh..."
"..."
Zhuo Beibei snorted coldly, and Su Yupan, who heard an inexplicable sour smell, opened his mouth, although he frowned and stopped talking. , but the faint blush on her pretty face still made her a good empress, making her look like a cardamom girl whose love affair was exposed, which made the girl beside her, Gu Jin, look stunned.
Is this...really the Holy One?
At first, I didn’t notice that they were together all this time, but now after hearing what the Tianhe Sect Leader said, Gu Jin also felt that Her Majesty the Empress had changed more and more since she came to Yangzhou Mansion.
Especially the so-called "joy", Gu Jin thought about it carefully. When the Holy Emperor was with her boyfriend, everything seemed to be getting better and better...
As she thought about it, the girl pursed her lips. , I gradually became a little depressed.
It wasn’t until he returned to the inn that Su Yupan noticed something strange about the girl.
"Jin'er, what's on your mind?"
"..."
It's okay not to ask. Some things, especially those about feelings and first love, often make you feel aggrieved and sad the more you are asked about them.
The same was true for Gu Jin. When the empress asked her, she looked aggrieved, like a newlywed resentful woman. Su Yupan even found it funny, and asked her again and again. This time, Gu Jin mustered up the courage to murmur:
"I just don't know if Madam still remembers that she said she wanted to investigate Qin Lang, so she pretended to be the First Madam..."
"This...yes..."
"But Sumire feels that Madam seems to be acting more and more real lately..."
"..."
