Chapter 272: So confident and confidant

Chapter 272 Being so confident

At the entrance of the side hall of the Governor's Mansion, the originally tense atmosphere subsided a lot. More than 20 broad-shouldered and round-shouldered servants were still standing at the door, while the soldiers who had forced them up the steps half an hour ago had stepped back a few steps. Although they were pressing the hilts of their swords with cold eyes, they had no intention of doing anything. Pull the knife out. The slightly injured team leader and two soldiers were helped down, while the two who were able to move around wiped the dust off their bodies and stood silently in the queue.

Seeing a dozen soldiers crowding Su Nanjin and Lu Qingyan towards this direction, the dozens of soldiers immediately moved to both sides to make way.

Su Nanjin stood at the bottom of the steps and stared at the lintel behind the crowd for a moment. More than half an hour ago, these soldiers also rushed to this door. Only a few people entered before the door was closed. Before they could knock it open, the officers from the mansion had heard the sound and arrived. The melee had just begun. As soon as the door opened, the few soldiers who had gone in earlier were thrown out, and then the captain with the steel knife on his neck...those two **** bastards!

He calmed down and said as calmly as possible, "Prince Qu, Pei Changshi, can you go out and meet me?"

A lazy voice soon sounded from inside the door, "Young master Su is really in a good mood. In this cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, you actually want to breathe in the wind and drink the dew? Well, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, so as not to make people think that I am a cowardless person, no?" Dare to step even half a step into someone else’s territory.”

Su Nanjin's face suddenly darkened, but she saw the door curtain was raised, and Qu Chongyu and Pei Xingjian came out one after another. Qu Chongyu still had a casual smile on his face. Su Nanjin's eyes narrowed, and after a pause, he held hands and smiled, "You two, haven't seen you for a long time."

Qu Chongyu dusted his sleeves and looked around, as if he didn't hear what Su Nanjin said, but Pei Xingjian nodded, "It's indeed some days, by the way, Ziyu has already had lunch?"

Su Nanjin was stunned for a moment before saying, "I've used it."

Pei Xingjian had a smile on his face and a gentle tone, as if he were a hospitable host, "I wonder what Ziyu used for lunch?"

Su Nanjin frowned, feeling more and more puzzled, and said lightly, "It's just an ordinary soup cake."

Pei Xingjian smiled apologetically, "Xizhou Prefecture is shabby, so I treated Ziyu so slowly. I'm very sorry."

Su Nanjin looked at him warily, "It's easy to say." The kitchen in Xizhou government office was not small, but there was nothing good prepared. The soldiers guarded the cooks for a long time, and all they brought out was The most ordinary noodle soup tastes very bad, but what does this matter have to do with Pei Xingjian?

Pei Xingjian raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's okay if Ziyu doesn't mind, but it's already past noon, and the prince and I haven't had time to eat yet, so I asked someone to go to the kitchen to get some lunch. Ziyu won't be surprised." Bar?"

Su Nanjin couldn't help but be stunned. She never expected that in the face of such a big change, Pei Xingjian didn't ask why he came or why he wanted his soldiers to take people, but he was only thinking about eating! For a moment, I simply didn't know how to answer. If the two were facing each other like that before, I could naturally sneer at Pei Xingjian's words. But after he said a long article in such a polite manner, how could he still turn his back and say, "You don't even want to have a meal?" But Pei Xingjian is unable to move now!

Lu Qingyan, who was standing behind Su Nanjin, smiled quickly and said, "The official was negligent. Chang Shi will wait for a while. How about the official ordering someone to get it?"

Pei Xingjian smiled and waved his hand, "No need, the chief clerk is very busy now. For small things like getting food, you can just do it yourself." After speaking, he turned around and ordered, "Bai San, take a few people to the kitchen to get some food." water."

Bai San said "yes", turned around and ordered four people to follow him down the steps. The soldiers looked at the expressionless Su Nanjin, and looked at each other for a moment, helplessly looking at the Xizhous who had drawn their swords at each other not long ago. The man walked out swaggeringly, his face looking a little ugly.

Lu Qingyan hurriedly turned around and winked at the soldiers behind him, "You guys also go and help, be careful not to spill the drinking water!"

Su Nanjin felt depressed for a while. The draft she had originally prepared was disturbed by this, so she flew to Java early. It was difficult to remember why she came, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Keep the promise, it has been a long time since we said it." We haven’t had a drink with each other before. If I have time to keep my appointment today, can Nan Jin go to the Chang Shi’s room and ask for a few drinks?”

Pei Xingjian looked at the soldiers in the courtyard, smiled and shook his head, "I don't dare. If Ziyu has this intention, he might as well wait until the dust of Xizhou's affairs has settled before drinking. Now Ziyu is holding a waist knife in one hand and a wine flask in the other. He is very elegant. People, it is too shameful to practice frugality.”

 Su Nanjin's face couldn't help but darken. Pei Xingjian clearly understood the meaning of his words, but he was still sarcastic. Did he really want to toast him and not eat the wine as a penalty? His smile turned cold, "I think this day is not too far away. Nan Jin can certainly afford to wait, but the anxious person outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion doesn't know if he can afford to wait! It's freezing cold now, It’s really mind-boggling…”

Pei Xingjian's smile did not change, but his eyes suddenly became indifferent and fell quietly on Su Nanjin's face.

Su Nanjin's heart froze as if a cold air was blowing on her face, and the words that had already reached her lips froze on the tip of her tongue. When he came to his senses and was about to say a few more words, he heard a woman's voice coming from the backyard, "Where is the young master? Hurry, take me there quickly!"

This voice was young and delicate, but the tone was furious, sharp and loud, and could be heard clearly by the whole yard. Su Nanjin felt that it sounded unfamiliar, and couldn't help but be stunned. I saw three people hurriedly walking in from the small door leading to the backyard. The leader was a team leader who was guarding the back door of the Governor's Mansion, and the other was the deputy he sent to guard the mansion. The petite figure behind the two of them is none other than Min Niang’s most trusted confidant, Nana! At this time, his hair was messy, his face was full of tears, and there was a bruise. He looked up and saw Su Nanjin and cried "Wow", "Alang, it's not good!"

 Is it possible that something happened to Min Niang? Su Nanjin didn't care much, and hurriedly took a few steps to greet him, saying in a deep voice, "What happened?" He glanced at the team deputy, only to see him shaking his head gently at her with a wry smile on his face, and he felt a little relieved. point. Seeing that Nana was still sobbing and unable to speak, she suddenly became impatient and shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up and say it!" Nana trembled in fright and took two steps back, barely hitting the flowers and trees behind her. "My lady, my lady has been bullied."

After Su Nanjin was stunned, a ball of anger ignited in her chest, and she looked at the team deputy angrily, "You!"

The team deputy hurriedly clasped his hands and saluted, "Sir, sir, several young women came to the house just now. They were dressed very luxuriously. The leader claimed to be the madam's sister-in-law. The younger one asked someone to report back to the madam, and the madam spread the word I came to let them in, and only the younger ones dared to let them in. Who knows..."

Nana hurriedly said, "It's that Cudi! When she got into the house, she had a disagreement with the lady, so she walked up and slapped the lady twice. The servant wanted to step forward to protect the lady, but was knocked down by the person she led. Hell, they forced the lady to apologize, but the lady was so humiliated that she fainted! "

The team deputy also replied hastily, "Sir, I heard something was wrong and blocked them at the door of the house. For some reason, many people from Xizhou gathered around me. Whose sister-in-law did the woman in the lead say? Dare you say that if you ask your sister-in-law to collect my brother's body quickly, you won't get a lesson?" He glanced at Su Nanjin in embarrassment and lowered his voice, "You also said that you should let the young master take some time off and remember to teach your wife what it means to be a eldest child. Inferiority." There were so many people watching and laughing at that time. This woman was still my wife's sister-in-law, so what could he do?

Seeing Su Nanjin looking over with a livid face, Nana trembled and muttered in a low voice, "She's talking nonsense! The lady was clearly talking about the Ashina family, but she deliberately put it on Pei Changshi's head..."

 In other words, did Min Niang really say that she would collect the body? Cudi's! It's that **** woman again! Why did Min Niang provoke her? Su Nanjin gritted her teeth and looked back, only to see Pei Xingjian frowning slightly, and Qu Chongyu was standing next to Pei Xingjian at some point, looking over with interest, the smile on his face almost hurt Su Nanjin's eyes.

Lu Qingyan also vaguely heard the general idea, and took a few steps towards this side with a frown on her face. Madam Zhang really succeeded more than failed, and made such a joke. If the young master deals with the Kudi family because of this, it will be unreasonable and unreasonable, and it will be detrimental to the overall situation. However, if he does not deal with it and loses his face, I am afraid that those high-ranking officials in Xizhou will also have doubts about this... Could it be that the Kudi family is the Calculated that they didn't dare to attack her and were confident, so they deliberately wanted to cause some trouble? He was frightened and said hurriedly, "Sir, it's not easy to make this matter public. It's better to let my wife rest first. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

Su Nanjin was upset and nodded, "How is Madam doing now?"

Nana saw that his face was ugly and she said hurriedly, "He's already awake, but he's just not talking or moving. It's not scary. Young Master, look..."

Su Nanjin took a few deep breaths with a heavy breath, and said decisively, "Go back and guard your wife first, then tell me that I know, and let her rest well until I get back!" Then she turned to look at the team deputy, "You are so sick. Watch the door and don’t allow anyone to come in again!”

Nana's face showed a hint of disappointment, she turned to look at Qu Chongyu who was not far away, bit her lip bitterly, turned her head and took a sip, not daring to say anything more, and bowed. Silently he followed the team deputy out.

Su Nanjin let out a heavy breath, but she really didn't want to see those two faces again. After standing for a while, she turned around and walked in the other direction without looking back. Lu Qingyan was immediately in a dilemma. While hesitating, he heard a burst of footsteps, but those who were going to the kitchen came over from the backyard door carrying several large buckets. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Pei Xingjian and Qu Chongyu, "You two have some food first, and I will take my leave."

The big bucket contained nothing but hot cakes and hot soup. Someone filled two portions and brought them into the house. After Qu Chongyu entered the door, he laughed, "Sister-in-law, these two slaps are so wonderful!"

This was the first time he called Liuli sister-in-law, but Pei Xingjian shook his head, "What she did..." This move was too reckless. Although it might make Su Nanjin lose some face, it was unnecessary and it was too risky. !

Qu Chongyu's face was filled with excitement. He glanced at Pei Xingjian triumphantly and changed his subject with a smile, "Young Master Su is willing to invite you, why do you have to refuse? If you can find out some information, everyone will come out of this prison one by one!"

Pei Xingjian smiled faintly, "Since he never stopped us from getting lunch, it can be seen that the situation outside is at a stalemate. He does not dare to act rashly, and can only think of dividing and conquering, and slowly trying to solve it. Under this situation, let's The most important thing is that our people can move around the house a little bit. As for the news, do you need to ask? I must have learned that your father and son have rebelled. They probably got the Kucha rebels or the Tibetan conspiracy, so I want to take you there. Confronted in the army, another one tried to defect and was killed on the spot. I, the Chief, either neglected my duties or failed to report the information, and probably committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Isn’t this news very good? I want to go and find out more about it? "

Qu Chongyu was in a good mood and laughed heartily. He ate two biscuits and a bowl of soup in several mouthfuls. He put down the bamboo chopsticks and waved his chief attendant into the house. He walked to one side and whispered a few instructions.

After a while, everyone had finished their meal. The captain led two people to carry the dishes and empty buckets back to the kitchen. They didn't go far when they started to quarrel with some of the soldiers who had followed him, and even broke two bowls. dish. When they came back, several people had cold faces. Chang Sui waved his hand and walked into the house. He walked a few steps through the door with a solemn look on his face.

 He took out a paper ball from his sleeve and gave it to Qu Chongyu with both hands. "Sure enough, there is something like this under the flowers and trees at the entrance of the courtyard."
