Yao Chong hurriedly climbed up the mountain, followed by a group of imperial guards of the Southern Office. On the mountain, Wu Sansi had already barged into the residence of the Prince of Luling. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw many spirited and energetic monks holding heavy black cudgels standing in the middle of the courtyard like stakes.
Wu Sansi thought of those Imperial Bodyguards who were beaten black and blue, and his face immediately darkened. But those monks just stood there with their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, as if they were Arhats cast in the courtyard. They did not even blink. They only obeyed the orders of their own Abbot, and other people really disdained them.
With a flick of his sleeve, Wu Sansi rushed into the main hall. As soon as he saw the valiant and formidable-looking female guards armed with sharp blades, he couldn't help thinking, This defense is really impenetrable. There are a hundred horsemen outside, monks in the middle, and internal guards inside. Even if I really wanted to force my way in, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to succeed.
Those female guards who were standing there like a beautiful screen had no intention of getting out of the way when they saw Wu Sansi barging in. However, when they saw Yang Fan step forward and wave his hand, they moved to the left and right, opening a path for Wu Sansi. Wu Sansi focused his eyes and saw a man standing shakily in the middle of the hall, easily held by two female sumo wrestlers who looked like mountains of flesh.
Next to these two female sumo wrestlers stood three other female sumo wrestlers, making a total of eight mountains of flesh. At first glance, a suffocating feeling immediately assaulted one's senses. The man standing between them was actually not short, but compared to them, he looked like a fragile quail.
Princess Taiping's eight personal female guards were well-known in the capital, so Wu Sansi naturally recognized them. As soon as he saw them, Wu Sansi's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself, "Why did Princess Taiping also send people here? Even if I use all my men to force my way in, I definitely won't be able to kill him. Right now, I can only find out if he's real or not before thinking of a way!
Eh? Real or not … Taiping is Li Xian's sister, she can't possibly not know the truth, right? If she sent people, then this Li Xian in front of me …
As Wu Sansi thought to himself, he put on a surprised and happy expression and hurried toward the Prince of Luling. "Aiyaya! Qilang! You really came back! Third Thinking was going to climb the Dragon Gate to bathe in the hot spring. Unexpectedly, he heard that Qilang had come back. Congratulations! Congratulations! "
As Wu Sansi spoke, he walked forward, carefully sizing up Li Xian's appearance. Sure enough, he was sixty to seventy percent similar to the Seventh Son of the Li Clan. It was just that Li Xian had been a young man in his twenties, elegant and handsome. His every movement had the air of royalty. As for the person in front of him, his temples were gray, his face was covered in wrinkles, his body was bloated, and his skin was pale. He stood there unsteadily. If not for someone supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
Wu Sansi thought suspiciously, Is this Li Xian really not Li Xian? Is there really such a so-called disguise technique in this world? "
Li Xian looked at him, a slightly humble expression on his face. He cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness King Liang, it has been a long time. My legs are injured from the journey, and I am unable to welcome you. Please forgive me."
Wu Sansi laughed and said intimately, "We're all family, so there's no need to be so polite. Qilang, you can just call me as you usually do. What King Liang or Your Highness? Isn't that a bit too distant? "As he spoke, he intimately stepped forward to grab Li Xian's hand.
His hand accurately grabbed onto a fleshy, fat hand. It was the hand of the female sumo wrestler on Li Xian's right who had voluntarily offered it to him, blocking his hand from reaching out. Wu Sansi's face darkened. "What are you doing?"
The female sumo didn't care about him at all. She replied indifferently, "This servant has come under Princess Taiping's orders to protect His Highness, the Prince of Luling. Before the princess arrives, no one is allowed to take half a step near the Prince of Luling. Otherwise, if anything happens to the prince, this servant will not be able to explain it to the princess."
Wu Sansi said angrily, "Do you know who I am?"
The female sumo said, "This servant is Princess Taiping's servant. I only recognize my master. Everyone else, regardless of who they are, has nothing to do with this servant!"
Wu Sansi was furious. Li Xian hurriedly said, "Hey! This girl really is a bit too cautious. Is there a need to be so guarded against King Liang? However, this girl has good intentions, so I can't refuse. King Liang, please don't get angry over this. When that girl of mine arrives, I'll have her apologize to King Liang. "
Wu Sansi's anger turned into a smile. "Forget it, how could this king bicker over such things? Haha, Qilang, you can just call me by my name. There's no need to be so courteous."
Li Xian sighed. He slowly swept his gaze over the furnishings in the hall and said sadly, "Things remain the same, but people have changed! All that happened in the past … if I bring it up, it will only make me feel sad. There is no need to bring it up. "
Wu Sansi thought to himself, Is this guy a fake? Or is he just trying to mislead me because he's wary of me? It's a pity that with those eight meat screens around, it won't be easy for me to get close to Li Xian.
Wu Sansi laughed and said, "Regardless, Qilang has finally returned to the capital. Qilang must have returned to the capital on Aunt's orders. Why don't you immediately enter the palace to see Aunt? Why don't Sansi accompany you back to the city? "
Li Xian raised his eyes. A trace of grief and indignation suddenly flashed through his eyes, but it quickly turned into a look of hatred and helplessness. "I have been separated from Mother for sixteen years. How could I not want to see her immediately? It's just that … it's just that I have lived in Huangzhu for many years. These years, I have missed Mother day and night, causing my face to age and my expression to become haggard. Now, because I am in a hurry to return to the capital, I am in a hurry and injured my legs. If I were to enter the palace like this, I'm afraid that Mother will inevitably feel sad for her son. Mother is already old. No matter how unfilial Li Xian is, how could he dare to make Mother sad? Thus, I want to rest here for a few days before returning to the city. "
Wu Sansi saw the trace of grief and indignation inadvertently flash through Li Xian's eyes. He somewhat believed that he was Li Xian. Wu Sansi's eyes darted around. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, a clear and melodious voice of a girl suddenly rang out. "Father, look, my clothes are beautiful …"
The voice came to an abrupt stop, as if a string of ice beads had been smashed into a jade plate. The crisp sound was suddenly heard, as if someone had suddenly pressed down on it.
Wu Sansi turned around and saw a young girl running out of the side hall in a lively and lively manner. Her cheeks were rosy like a blooming peach blossom, and her hair was dripping with water.
She was carrying a pomegranate skirt embroidered with pleated white flowers. She looked like a happy little swallow. Just a single glance was enough to make one's eyes light up, as if a lantern had quietly exploded in the middle of the night.
"This is …"
Wu Sansi stared at this young girl in confusion. The young girl had rushed in excitedly, but when she suddenly saw that there was someone in the hall, she couldn't help but shrink back. She moved closer to Li Xian with the tip of her toes, looking at Wu Sansi with a timid expression.
Li Xian coughed lightly and said, "This is my daughter, Guo 'er. She was born on the way to Fang Province. King Liang, you have yet to meet her. Guo 'er, hurry up and pay your respects to King Liang. "
Guo 'er took a small step forward timidly. She lifted her skirt and quickly curtsied towards Wu Sansi. She said in a crisp voice, "Guo' er pays her respects to King Liang!" After she finished curtsiing, she quickly hid behind Li Xian like a frightened little rabbit.
Wu Sansi's eyes suddenly lit up. This girl was not very old, and she had been born and raised deep in the mountains. She was no different from an ignorant village girl. An innocent and naive young girl like her would easily give herself away.
If the Prince of Luling was fake, they would never have allowed her to show herself to me. Moreover, judging from her appearance, the way she ran out, and the expression on her face, it was clear that she was unaware of my arrival. If I want to know whether this Prince of Luling is real or fake, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on her.
Wu Sansi immediately laughed and said with a sincere smile, "Hehe, your name is Guo 'er, right? Mm! He's really a good child. He's so handsome, so fresh and lively. Just by comparing him to my maids, he's like a cloud compared to the others in my family. Guo 'er … your entire family has returned to Luoyang with your father, right? "
"No, my father only brought me back."
Li Guo 'er rolled up her clothes in an uneasy manner. Her little face was flushed, and she looked as if she could not bear to interact with strangers.
Li Xian urged, "Guo 'er, hurry up and return to your room. Look at how you are running out before you've even finished dressing yourself. This is not the mountains. Remember your father's words, you must behave yourself in the future. You can't be so wild anymore. Hurry up and go back!"
"Wait, wait, there's no rush!"
Wu Sansi hastily stretched out his hand to stop him. He said to Li Guo 'er with a smile, "Qilang, I have something to say to you. We are all family, so why are you acting so distant? Unfortunately, I did not know that Guo' er would come with your father, so I did not bring a greeting gift. Look, this is really …"
Wu Sansi carelessly felt around his waist and took off a fine jade pendant. He handed it to Li Guo 'er and said, "Here, take this jade pendant as a greeting gift. Hurry up and take it."
Li Guo 'er looked a little hesitant. She subconsciously turned around to look at Li Xian. It was the same expression that many children would instinctively ask their parents for advice when they did not know what to do.
Wu Sansi saw her reaction and couldn't help but sneer inwardly, 'Fake? Hmph! Would this little girl ask for his permission to visit the fake Prince of Luling? Does the fake Prince of Luling have the ability to deceive even his own daughter? Yang Fan, don't blame me for being merciless if you continue to persist in going about things the wrong way! "
Wu Sansi said with a smile, "Hurry up and take it. There's no need to be polite. Our families are relatives, and we have always been close. You can ask your father if you don't believe me."
Li Guo 'er immediately turned around and looked at Li Xian with her large, watery eyes. A strange expression suddenly flitted across Li Xian's face. It was hard to tell whether it was anger or fear. He only waved his hand and said, "Since it is a gift from King Liang, just take it. Thank you, King Liang. Now, return to your room!"
"Oh …"
Li Guo 'er timidly accepted the jade pendant, bowed slightly to Wu Sansi, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, King Liang!"
After saying this, Li Guo 'er ran towards the side hall. Just as she was about to reach the entrance, she seemed to recall her father's teachings.' Now that you are a princess, you can't act like a wild girl in the wilderness. 'She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and sneak a glance behind her. Only then did she lighten her footsteps, twist her waist, and slowly walk away like a graceful young lady.
Wu Sansi smiled sinisterly and turned his head around. His eyes were like a pair of knives as he glared fiercely at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan's lips suddenly opened and closed, then he helplessly pursed them and slowly lowered his head, revealing a look of wanting to argue but unable to speak. But in his heart, he laughed and sighed, "That seductress even made me fall into her trap. If you think she's a little village girl who doesn't know the ways of the world, then you deserve to be unlucky."
