Chapter 46 Selfishness
Husband and wife suspected of quarreling——
Shen Yi walked into the courtyard, the evening glow covered the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on Xu Muzhou's cheeks and the light blue thin shirt on his body, it was so beautiful that it made people dazzle.
But Shen Yi didn't dare to take a second look. He walked a few steps closer, stopped by the white stone table, and asked straight to the point in a deep voice: "Pianzhou Wuji Villa in a few days, are you going?"
Xu Muzhou made a "please" gesture, indicating that Shen Yi could sit down on the stone bench vacated by A Yuan, but did not answer Shen Yi's question, "The news is so fast. There is no need to waste the eyes and ears of Lord Shen." On my body."
"Lest I have to be worthless for the prince."
Xu Muzhou took out two empty teacups from the tea tray next to him, and filled them with tea for the two guests: "Today, I'm making clear tea to relieve fever. It's almost summer, and it's very hot."
Seeing that the person in front of him only regarded himself as an honored guest from beginning to end, Shen Yi felt that his chest was so swollen that he could hardly breathe.
Maybe Xu Muzhou treats him as an enemy, or if he is as eccentric as when he was in Fushan, Shen Yi can feel better.But he knew better than anyone else that this was his own choice, and he didn't have the face to feel uncomfortable.
"That's the Hongmen Banquet. A smart person like Xu Ergong shouldn't fail to see it." Shen Yi didn't sit down either, but stood on both sides of the stone table with Xu Muzhou.
Of course, he wouldn't drink the tea that Xu Muzhou poured.
"Can you see it? What should I be able to see?" Xu Muzhou asked with a smile, "As the head of No. 40 and eight halls of the Red Flower Club, I was invited to a grand gathering with my colleagues in the rivers and lakes. Why come to Hongmen Banquet explain?"
"Prince Shen still needs to be cautious. Otherwise, I will think that you are deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between me and Lord Chitose."
Shen Yi looked at Xu Muzhou with deep eyes: "Then why did he only send you there?"
"I wholeheartedly do things for Lord Chitose, so adults will naturally support me a lot. Why, is this a strange thing in the eyes of the regent?"
Xu Muzhou was calm and looked at Shen Yi without any doubts.
Shen Yi took a step forward, his tone a little anxious, "Do you really think he will treat you so favorably?"
"No, it should be said that you really think it's a kind of "favor" to send you alone? "
Xu Muzhou seemed even more puzzled: "Then what else would it be?"
"I'm just a commoner, so I really don't know about the festival between Lord Qiantui and your Lord Shen. I shouldn't have to figure it out. If Lord Shen has any prejudice against you, it's better to go to him to solve it face to face."
"Don't get others involved."
Xu Muzhou took Shen Yi's words to him as the grievance disputes and prejudices between the Jin and Shen factions.
Shen Yi didn't have time to explain more, and he didn't believe that Xu Muzhou really didn't understand what he said, so he just stepped forward a few steps, trying to hold Xu Muzhou's forearm.
However, as soon as the hand was stretched out, it paused in the air. Shen Yi hesitated, but in the end he held Xu Muzhou's wrist: "Leave quickly. There is still a chance now."
In fact, on the way to Wumingju, Shen Yi had already made up his mind that he would deploy a small team outside the city to protect Xu Muzhou and the others away from the capital.
After successfully escaping, they will also arrange support staff at every necessary road behind, and send Xu Muzhou and the others to the horizon.
It's just that this arrangement cannot be said in front of Xu Muzhou at this moment, after all, this courtyard must be surrounded by Jin Yuxian's eyes and ears.
Xu Muzhou looked at Shen Yi's palm on his wrist, and wanted to shake it off, but looking at Shen Yi's current body, he felt shaky just standing there, hesitated for a moment, and let him pull .
But his mouth was not idle: "Prince Shen, you must have made a mistake. Lord Qiantose has treated me so well, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking now, and I may become famous in the near future."
"Why should I leave? I'm not such a ignorant person."
Hearing Xu Muzhou pronounce the words "I don't know what is good and what is bad" very emphatically, Shen Yi couldn't hold back anymore, and pulled the person towards him with all his strength, and the two of them were almost face to face:
"Do you really think he's a good man? Do you know what you're doing? He put a fire pit in front of him, and you jumped down desperately?"
"Xu Muzhou, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
Xu Muzhou's tone sank, his temper seemed to be aroused by Shen Yi, and he looked into Shen Yi's eyes coldly, "Really, pretending, what does it have to do with you, Lord Shen?"
"Are we familiar? Apart from the child in your womb who was conceived by my seed, is there any intersection between you and me?"
"Prince Shen, let's go back quickly. I don't want to stay in my yard for a long time, causing criticism to the prince and dragging you down."
While talking, Xu Muzhou gently pulled out his hand.
The water in the teapot is cold, so Xu Muzhou wants to add a new fire to the stove, and boil another pot of hot water to make tea, "If Lord Shen doesn't want to come out of my yard, you can sit down, let's have tea and chat, say Have fun."
Xu Muzhou's words were polite, and of course Shen Yi couldn't stay any longer.
After Shen Yi and the housekeeper left, Pei Yunchu, who was watching everything, asked Xu Muzhou in a low voice, "What does the regent mean? Why did he say you can't go to Pianzhou?"
Xu Muzhou tidied up the tea set in an orderly manner, as if he didn't hear Pei Yunchu's voice, he just said to go into the room first.
In fact, he naturally heard it, but he still tried to say some things in the room as much as possible.
"Maybe he's right." Xu Muzhou spoke in a very low voice, only enough for Pei Yunchu and A Yuan who surrounded him to hear, "This trip to Pianzhou is probably just a grand banquet."
"Then you must not go, young master!" A Yuan's eyes widened.
Xu Muzhou patted him on the head, "Fool, if I don't listen to him, he will have ways to cure me." Of course he was referring to Jin Qiansui.
"Not to mention the lives of the few of us, just the big family in Xialiang County, who is not unarmed and at the mercy of others. Do you think that the Red Flower Club will stare at us when we come to the capital? Are they there?"
But it's strange to say that Xu Muzhou had always expected that one day, Jin Qiantui would threaten him with the people in Xu's house.
But after so long, he never heard about it in the correspondence with Hu Qinglian.It seems that with a room full of people, the small life is very happy.
Circled in that piece of Taoyuan, don't have to pay attention to the sinister disturbances outside.
Xu Muzhou was happy for them, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
The members of the Red Flower Society have not touched them until now. Is it because Jin Qiansui is really so kind?
If it was more serious than suspicion, Xu Muzhou asked himself that he would not lose to anyone.Jin Yuxian didn't trust him, and he didn't trust Jin Yuxian either.
As for Shen Yi... maybe he made this trip today out of kindness.But Xu Muzhou had too many worries, and even Shen Yi was one of his many worries.
Wuming lived outside, the sky was completely dark, Shen Yi watched Xu Muzhou's firm attitude, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, and he couldn't really have someone tie him up and send him out of the capital overnight.
However, sitting in the carriage, he didn't feel any looseness in his heart.Seeing the prince's appearance, Fu Xiaotang couldn't help feeling worried.
He earnestly asked Shen Yi to take care of his body, saying that if he didn't think about himself, he should also think about the little prince in his womb.
Shen Yi's delivery date is approaching, and now when riding in a carriage, his legs can't be kept together, they have to be spread far apart, otherwise the cub in the belly will make a fuss.
It was agreed that they would not step out of the house until Ping An gave birth to their child, but when they heard that Xu Muzhou's life was threatened, they forgot everything he had said.
Fu Xiaotang sighed and shook his head.
"Xiaotang," I don't know if Shen Yi saw him shaking his head, and suddenly stopped him, "You must do something for me."
Three days later, Xu Muzhou had arrived at the boundary of Pianzhou. He was wearing a light beige robe and a jade crown on his head. He walked on the street like clouds floating in the air, and the jade trees were facing the wind, causing passers-by to stop and look back.
It's just that next to this handsome young master, there was actually a black-clothed swordsman with a long sword in his arms, wrapped in black, with nothing but ink on his body.
The black-clothed swordsman's face is as cold as ice, and his slender eyes seem to be able to kill people with his gaze. People passing by will always be a little scared.
Therefore, Xu Muzhou's attention was due to the swordsman beside him.
"Kong Shaoxia, why are you showing up and walking beside me?" Kong Ye practiced the kung fu of a hidden guard. Xu Muzhou always knew that this person was with him, but he didn't know where he was hiding.
However, when entering the gate of Pianzhou City, Kong Ye didn't hide, and walked directly side by side with Xu Muzhou, Xu Muzhou naturally found it strange.
"Look, because of you, the common people on the street look at me strangely!"
Kong Ye didn't care about Xu Muzhou's resentment, he just said: "My duty is to protect your safety, so naturally I have to follow you."
"And now that we have entered Pianzhou City, we are about to reach Wuji Mountain Villa. It is impossible to predict how many masters will gather there. But in front of those people, "hiding" is meaningless. "
So Kong Ye simply showed up and entered the Wuji Villa with Xu Muzhou as his guard.
Xu Muzhou pretended to be enlightened, "Oh, so that's the case. But Kong Shaoxia, why do I feel... Your words seem to have changed a bit?"
Kong Ye didn't deny it either.
He now sees that Xu Muzhou is not as disgusted and uncomfortable as before, because along the way, from Xialiang County to the capital, Kong Ye gradually discovered that Xu Muzhou was not just a profiteer.
He seems to have something to offer.
Once the mentality is changed, when talking to Xu Muzhou again, words will not be so precious.
When the two came to Wuji Mountain Villa, Xu Muzhou showed the invitation card for the Hero Club, and the servant at the door looked at him and Kong Ye separately, obviously seeing the identity of Kong Ye's secret guard.
But these young servants still put the two of them in together as if they didn't notice it.
Xu Muzhou first rested in this villa for one night, and at noon the next day, the hero meeting officially kicked off.At this first glance, Xu Muzhou saw an old acquaintance.
