"But madam, even if you set off now, rushing all the way to Beijing, the city gates will have already closed." Mao Dewang had a face full of smiles. "It may not matter to you, but the elderly and the children can’t handle that kind of bumpy journey. Why not rest for the night and leave tomorrow? The rooms are all prepared." Last time, he couldn’t invite anyone over and was punished by his master. Today, he couldn’t let anyone slip away.
"This..." Yang Ruxin hesitated. Those with martial skills might not care, but the fatigue on her grandfather’s and the two mother’s faces was evident.
"Do you really need me, the prince, to e and invite you before you agree?" Just then, two fast horses galloped from afar, led by Qi Jingyun.
"Prince Yun, is this necessary?" Yang Ruxin sighed.
"My life was saved by General Gu." Qi Jingyun smiled a little, "Is it not permissible to host his wife and children?"
Yang Ruxin could only sigh. It seemed they could not leave, so she nodded in agreement.
At the Desheng Restaurant, no outsiders were accepted today, only arrangements for Yang Ruxin’s party were made.
Nian Qianqian tugged at Zhang Changyang’s sleeve, "Do you think Prince Yun likes our Xinxin?"
Changyangzi glanced sidelong at Nian Qianqian, "You’re quite old now; why are you still so gossiping?"
"What’s wrong with gossiping?" Nian Qianqian gave Zhang Changyang a sidelong glance. "Besides, isn’t Gu Qingheng your disciple? Would you really want your disciple’s wife to be taken away?"
"Stop imagining things. Xinxin can’t be taken away." Zhang Changyang patted his wife’s shoulder, "Otherwise, when my disciple was in a slump, he wouldn’t have managed to win over the young girl."
"True." Nian Qianqian rubbed her chin, "However, all these people with hidden agendas are really annoying. I think..."
"Don’t do anything." Zhang Changyang held Nian Qianqian’s hand, "Those two kids are aware; as long as they haven’t acted, we shouldn’t interfere and make things worse."
"Alright." Nian Qianqian immediately shifted her attention, "I’ll go see my disciple."
At this moment, Yang Ruxin was in a private room at Desheng Restaurant, facing Qi Jingyun.
Yang Ruxin looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, "The prince specially left me alone; is there something you want to discuss?"
"It is often said that a woman without talent is virtuous. I’ve also found that dealing with someone too smart can indeed be quite frustrating."
Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Don’t you think dealing with smart people saves you a lot of trouble?"
"I won’t bother with thank-you words." Qi Jingyun’s expression became slightly serious, "I want to discuss the matter of Flame with you."
"Flame?" Yang Ruxin’s voice involuntarily rose a bit, "Has he appeared again?" Previously, after the base in Miaojiang was destroyed, although he wasn’t killed, that person was seriously injured. He shouldn’t be able to pop up for some time, why suddenly mention him?
Qi Jingyun suddenly smiled, "No, but I always feel that person is very familiar."
"Familiar?" Yang Ruxin’s brow furrowed deeply, "Do you mean, you know him?"
Qi Jingyun nodded, "But I’m not sure, so I actually want to advise you to be cautious of the royal family."
"You..." Yang Ruxin opened her mouth but eventually suppressed her surprise, "I understand."
Qi Jingyun smiled, indeed dealing with smart people is indeed less hassle, "The seafood and river food here in Haijin City are quite good, try them."
