The Marquis's Mansion
Marquis Kang's unusual enthusiasm made Ji Yunshu uneasy.
She could tell from his words that something was off, so she went straight to the point. "Marquis Kang, if you have something to say, just say it."
Heh heh!
I've been seen through.
He put away his mischievous expression and smiled at her. "As expected, I still can't hide it from you, Teacher Ji."
"Please speak, Marquis."
"There's no hurry. We'll talk about this tomorrow."
Pfft!
Ji Yunshu wanted to swallow blood.
He was a man who would stammer halfway through his sentence.
At the same time.
Jing Rong and the rest followed Marquis Kang's men into Jingzhou City.
Apart from them, there was no one else on the empty streets.
Suddenly …
The sound of the night watchman rang out.
Tang Si quickly poked her head out of the carriage and saw an old man passing by. She didn't know if she was out of her mind, but she suddenly called out to the night watchman. "Old man, why is there no one in Jingzhou City at night? In other places, you can still see a lot of people at night. Your place is too quiet. "
Speechless!
The night watchman glanced at her and said, "Miss, of course there's no one at night."
"Oh." Tang Si puffed her cheeks.
The night watchman rubbed his eyes. When he saw the people from the Marquis's Estate on horseback, he almost dropped the lantern in his hand and ran away.
He walked much more nimbly than usual.
Tang Si was puzzled. She scratched her head. Am I that scary?
Mo Ruo reached out and pulled her back into the carriage. "Can you be quiet? It's already so late at night, and you're still talking to the night watchman? They're doing well during the night watch. "
"I'm just asking. Why are you so agitated?"
"We just had a bloody battle with someone. Can't you just sit still?"
"Fine, I'll shut up."
She stopped talking!
Jing Rong sat upright with his eyes closed. There were still bloodstains on his clothes, which were already bare, making it look particularly glaring.
At this moment, Tang Si started to act up again. She pulled at her blood-stained clothes and said, "When we reach that Marquis's Estate, I must take a good bath. Look, my clothes are all stained with blood."
No one paid attention to her.
Mo Ruo looked at Jing Rong with a serious expression and asked, "What is this Marquis Kang up to?"
Jing Rong opened his eyes and shook his head. "I don't know!"
All right!
When they arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, those who dismounted from their horses and carriages got off.
Just like Ji Yunshu, Jing Rong and the others were stunned by the magnificent mansion in front of them.
I have to say, this place is awesome.
Marquis Kang, oh Marquis Kang, aren't you living such a good life?
Tang Si rushed in as if she had discovered a new continent. However, Jing Rong and Mo Ruo noticed the fingerprint on the manor's signboard.
It was too obvious!
The two of them looked at each other but didn't say anything in the end.
It was the same housekeeper from before who came out to greet them. "Greetings, Your Highness. The Marquis has been waiting inside for a long time."
Extremely respectful!
Jing Rong nodded and stepped inside.
He led them all the way to the main hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Ji Yunshu's bitter expression.
She had just been angered to the point of vomiting blood by Marquis Kang's half-finished speech.
Marquis Kang got down from his seat and hurried to greet them. However, he wasn't as enthusiastic as when he greeted Ji Yunshu. His body that weighed more than a hundred jin shook as he cupped his hands towards Jing Rong. However, he didn't bow down and said, "Your Highness is finally here."
As a junior, Jing Rong naturally bowed to him.
He bowed slightly. "Marquis Kang." Then, he turned his gaze towards Ji Yunshu.
She also got up and walked over.
Jing Rong asked her, "How are you?"
She shook her head. "I'm fine."
That's good. He was relieved.
Marquis Kang looked at the bloodstains on Jing Rong and the others and said, "How about this, I'll order someone to prepare a room for you. Your Highness, go rest and wash up. I'll host a banquet for you tomorrow."
Jing Rong didn't understand and asked, "How did Marquis Kang know that this prince has returned to the capital?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
This again!
Oh my, he's even learned to keep people guessing!
He deserves a beating!
Tang Si wandered around the hall and picked up a banana to eat. She looked around and said, "I say, Marquis, this is quite a big place. You must be very rich, right?"
Marquis Kang glanced at her. "And this young lady is?"
"I'm Tang Si, from Houliao."
"Judging from your attire, you really aren't from the Central Plains." He smiled and turned his gaze to Mo Ruo. He said in surprise, "This must be the divine physician of Yuhua Pavilion, Young Master Mo Ruo."
Mo Ruo immediately cupped his hands. "You're too humble."
"To be able to become a divine physician at such a young age is truly admirable. This Marquis might need your help in the future."
Haha.
Mo Ruo smiled.
Marquis Kang said, "Your Highness, all of you just need to rest. Don't worry about your guards, this Marquis will arrange a good place for them to stay."
"Many thanks."
Thus, he let the servants lead them to rest. After Jing Rong had changed, Marquis Kang invited Jing Rong to have tea alone.
The two of them chatted in a pavilion in the estate about borrowing soldiers to besiege the Gaoshan Gang.
Jing Rong thanked Marquis Kang, "I have to thank you for agreeing to lend me the soldiers back then."
"Your Highness must be joking. Actually, this Marquis is not a stingy person, and it's only right that we help the imperial court suppress the bandits. Moreover, Your Highness has promised to give me the Golden Woven Armor. You want the soldiers, I want the Golden Woven Armor, and we both get what we want. I just didn't expect that the Golden Woven Armor that I've been longing for for so many years would come to me when I returned to Jingzhou. It's all thanks to Your Highness."
"That's what you deserve, Marquis."
Marquis Kang laughed heartily.
But …
Jing Rong asked again, "Marquis, how did you know that this prince has returned to the capital?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. If there's anything, let's talk tomorrow." He changed the topic.
Tomorrow, tomorrow again!
This person is really strange.
Jing Rong had no choice but to give up. But in his heart, he was wondering what this old man was up to.
Suddenly, Marquis Kang asked, "Oh right, do you want to see my treasures?"
"Isn't Marquis very protective of your treasures? Why are you suddenly asking this? "
"Treasures that I've collected should naturally be seen by everyone. It's so boring to look at them alone!"
Jing Rong smiled, "If Marquis Kang is willing, this prince would also like to see them. I've heard that the Marquis has collected many treasures."
Indeed, Marquis Kang had many treasures in his possession that many people wanted to see but couldn't.
Therefore, since he took the initiative to bring it up, there was no reason not to see it.
Marquis Kang was also very straightforward, "Let's go, I'll show you."
