Fan Men was amazed and looked at Jun Xiqing in a new light.
She was such a special girl. No wonder His Highness was so smitten.
At this moment, the clan leader raised his wine glass and toasted Lu Yeming. "Your Highness, I am relieved to see you and Ruoli loving each other today. Let me toast you."
Lu Yeming raised his wine glass. "Thank you, clan leader."
Dongfang Ruoli smiled shyly at the side.
The clan leader put down his wine glass and suddenly changed the topic. "Your Highness, I don't know if you still remember eight years ago when you were 18 years old and you were the West Duke. I met you once then."
"The first time we met, I gave you a Nine Chain Rings to solve. Does Your Highness still remember how you solved it?"
The clan leader clapped his hands and one of his subordinates quickly handed over a ring for Lu Yeming to solve.
Fan Men's heart thumped. If Lu Yeming solved it incorrectly, his fake identity would be exposed.
This was the Holy Lady Clan and everyone here was the clan leader's subordinate. They had to die.
Fan Men quickly walked over to Jun Xiqing and whispered, "President Jun, how should I solve it?"
Jun Xiqing held the knife and fork with her fair fingers as she focused on cutting the steak in her hands. She said nonchalantly, "Steward Fan has been with President Lu for so many years and knows him like the back of her hand. You just have to get the higher-ups to use the same method they used eight years ago to solve the problem."
Even though Fan Men was addressed as' Steward Fan ', he felt like Jun Xiqing was calling him a' eunuch steward '.
"President Jun, you might not know this, but I didn't follow His Highness eight years ago, so I didn't know about this."
Jun Xiqing's movements slowed down. She lifted her long lashes and glanced at the clan leader opposite her. Her bright eyes sparkled with a sharp glint, overflowing with color.
Placing a small piece of steak into her mouth, she chewed elegantly and said, "Drop it."
What?
Did he just throw the Nine Chain Rings?
"President Jun, are you really going to drop it? If His Highness didn't drop it eight years ago, we would be in danger. "
Fan Men looked at his subordinates outside the main hall. All of them had new guns and ammunition strapped to their waists and were extremely dangerous terrorists.
Jun Xiqing glanced sideways at Fan Men. "Who does the Clan Leader think he is? Even if His Highness knows how to solve the Nine Chains Hoops, why did he have to show him?
He fell.
Good!
Fan Men had placed all his bets on Jun Xiqing. He shot Lu Yeming a look.
Lu Yeming picked up the rings and threw them on the ground.
The Nine Interlinked Rings were broken and broken.
"Pa!" An ear-piercing shattering sound resounded through the main hall. The subordinates outside heard the sound and grasped the shaft of the spear at their waist.
Fan Men's nerves tightened as he prepared for battle.
A fierce battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The hall fell into a deathly silence. A few seconds later, "Clap, clap, clap", the Clan Leader applauded and laughed. "My Lord, you're still the same as before, smashing the Nine Chain Rings. Haha."
Fan Men's entire body relaxed as he realized he was drenched in cold sweat.
Right.
He was actually right.
Fan Men couldn't help but look at Jun Xiqing. She was still cutting the steak, elegant and calm.
…
After dinner, Jun Xiqing took Ping Ping for a stroll in the garden.
At this moment, one of the maids said to the other maid, "You have to be careful. Don't touch the poppies here. Last time, a maid touched a poppy flower and the Clan Leader beat her to death."
"Oh my god, it can't be. The Clan Leader loves poppies that much?"
"Yes, the Holy Lady Clan's poppies are always blooming and the Clan Leader loves them the most."
"Let me tell you, I heard that twenty-six years ago, the Mistress of Ah Jiao's Room, Bei Yuewu, became famous for her palm dance. At that time, the Lord of that era, Murong Lang, and the youngest and most handsome Clan Leader of the Holy Lady Clan were seated at the banquet. They were even good brothers then."
"Bei Yuewu loved poppies the most. From then on, in order to win the beauty's smile, the rich and powerful of Chang 'an City planted poppies all over the streets. It became a legend."
As the two maids whispered to each other, Jun Xiqing looked at the poppies on the other side.
The red poppies were bright and enchanting. Even the language of the flowers was enchanting and beautiful.
Twenty-six years ago, Bei Yuewu was a masterpiece.
Her Ah Jiao's Room was a legend.
But it was a pity that Bei Yuewu met Murong Lang and left the world early on.
To be able to make such a carefree girl give up her freedom and stay in the palace, willing to be lonely, it was obvious how much Bei Yuewu loved Murong Jiancheng.
Among the female elders that Jun Xiqing knew, Bei Yuewu was just as beautiful as Lin Xuanji.
"President Jun, why are you here?" At this moment, Fan Men walked over.
Jun Xiqing looked back. "Oh, to listen to some gossip."
Sometimes, it was very important to listen to gossip!
"President Jun, bad news. The Clan Leader wants His Highness to shoot at the target. He has to hit nine bulls-eyes in a row."
Hit nine bulls-eyes in a row?
If someone could hit two bulls-eyes in a row, he would have to give them a thumbs up and praise them.
"Steward Fan, can His Highness hit nine bulls-eyes in a row?" Jun Xiqing asked.
Fan Men nodded apologetically. "Yes."
"…"
Jun Xiqing could only chuckle. "Good job."
Lu Yeming's reputation was not just for show.
…
The Clan Leader was waiting on the training grounds while Lu Yeming stood in the archery range.
At this moment, Jun Xiqing walked in. "Let me do it."
Lu Yeming retreated to the side.
Jun Xiqing picked up the bow and arrow, aiming at the red target.
Fan Men didn't think that he could hit nine bulls-eyes. He looked at Jun Xiqing doubtfully. "President Jun, can you do it?"
"I'll give it a try."
As soon as he said that, the arrow shot out with a whoosh. Bang!
Bang! Bang! He hit nine bulls-eyes in a row.
Fan Men was stunned.
Ping Ping looked at Fan Men and raised her chin proudly. "Are you stunned? Didn't you ask around? Her Highness has loved archery since she was young. Her best record is hitting ten bulls-eyes in a row, a perfect ten consecutive kills."
"…"
Fan Men was convinced.
Jun Xiqing put down the bow and arrow and said impassively, "Let's go."
"Go? Where? "Fan Men looked at the Clan Leader outside.
Jun Xiqing spat out two words. "Run for your life."
Fan Men was stunned. "We've solved the Nine Chains and hit nine bulls-eyes. We've already passed. Why do we still have to run?"
Jun Xiqing's eyes sparkled and her red lips curved upwards. "Clan Leader, did you really believe us? Why did you test us again and again?"
"…"
Fan Men's expression changed. Today was already a dead end.
"President Jun, I'll protect you and leave first."
Jun Xiqing put on a black cloak and stood quietly in front of the window. The cloak trailed on the ground, accentuating her coldness.
It was getting dark. He should be back by now, right?
"Steward Fan, help me pass a message to him."
"What is it?"
Jun Xiqing lowered her long lashes and played with a red poppy in her hand. "If I come back alive, ask him to be merciful and let me go."
