Yan Changqing kept walking, but he felt a sense of alarm in his heart.

After reaching a verbal alliance with Xie Shu, the other party had been lukewarm. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

What patience!

It seems that the sacrifice made by Wanqi Lou did not convince this old fox.

But yes.

For Xie Shu, it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, he must take the lead before he can feel at ease.

The corners of Yan Changqing's lips curled up slightly, without any clues on his face, and even his breathing rate did not change.

Once he entered Xie Shu's territory, who knew who was watching him in secret.

He did not dare to underestimate the century-old family heritage.

Xie Shu was his most difficult opponent, and he had been prepared for it.

There was a dim light in the study.

Xie Shu's figure, wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, was projected on the window screen, looking hazy.

In addition to him, there was also a vague graceful figure.

Yan Changqing paused at the door, his voice carrying some deliberate impatience: "Master Situ is so arrogant, I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Perhaps because they were not expecting his action, the surrounding treetops shook violently for a moment, then returned to calm.

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Yan Changqing's heart.

As expected, someone had been watching him ever since he entered the mansion, and his secret was only exposed now.

"Wait!"

The vermilion nanmu double doors were pushed open from the inside, and the light from the study poured down onto the floor, dyeing the bluestone lotus-shaped steps at the door an orange-yellow color.

The artistic conception is beautiful.

Xie Shu's thin figure appeared at the door, as graceful as a pine tree.

This was completely inconsistent with his usual dignified demeanor in the court.

He deliberately put on such a private gesture just to show his affection to Yan Changqing, which was just some dispensable but detailed trick he did.

"Brother Yan, don't be angry."

He smiled and took a few quick steps to catch up, and Yan Changqing cooperated by slowing down his pace.

Otherwise, with his speed, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Xie Shu.

"Master Situ, please do not call us brothers. I, Yan, cannot bear this responsibility."

Yan Changqing was half a head taller than Xie Shu. At this moment, he lowered his eyes and looked down at him with a cold and stern profile.

"If I hadn't come here tonight, I wouldn't have known that this was your sincere invitation."

He glanced at the female figure projected on the window screen of the study and said, "I won't bother you anymore. Sir Situ, there is someone here to help you. Goodbye!"

Xie Shu said, "Oh my!" "Brother Yan, you are so angry, but you did misunderstand this matter."

It was indeed his intention, but Yan Changqing's behavior was beyond his expectations.

It turns out that the general who was able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away had such an impatient and impulsive temper.

No wonder there would be conflicts with the high and mighty eldest princess.

Xie Shu smiled slightly in his heart, but his tone was warm and intimate: "Brother Yan, come in first, and you will know what's going on immediately."

Yan Changqing snorted coldly and asked instead, "Master Situ, did we make an agreement today?"

What I meant was that you knew you had an appointment with me, but you still had a great conversation with a woman in the study, which simply showed that you didn't take me seriously.

He, the great general guarding the country and the only king of a different surname in this dynasty, could not stand this humiliation.

"If you are not sincere enough, I don't have to cooperate with you."

After saying this, he walked away.

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Xie Shu was really panicked this time.

Could it be that he was overdoing it?

At this moment, a graceful figure stood at the door of the study. The way she bowed was like a willow swaying in the wind, and her every move showed her elegance.

"I am Lu Yun, and I am here to meet the Prince."

Her pleasant voice, blending with the quiet night, gently entered the ears of the two people who were in a stalemate, and it was very beautiful.

After hearing her surname, Yan Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xie Shu with amusement: "Master Xie, I didn't expect that your grandson, who is already at the age of marriage, still has the idea of ​​'a pear tree overshadowing a crabapple tree'?"

Xie Shu laughed: "Brother Yan, you really misunderstood!"

He grabbed his arm affectionately and pulled him back: "Come on, let me introduce you to someone."

Without waiting for Xie Shu to speak, Lu Yun took a step forward, brows shy, "Prince, I admire you, so I asked Uncle Xie to meet you."

Lu Yun has a beautiful face like a flower, skin as white as snow, and eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

She is the eldest daughter of the Lu family. Her behavior shows her family background, but her words are extremely bold.

Yan Changqing glanced at Xie Shu: "I didn't expect that Brother Xie also has such a hobby of pimping?"

In fact, when he smelled the faint fragrance, he guessed what Xie Shu wanted to do, and deliberately misinterpreted his meaning in order to silence him.

I didn't expect this woman to be so bold and make her thoughts clear.

In this case, he would not be polite.

His words were so serious that a blush instantly appeared on Lu Yun's pretty face, and she felt both embarrassed and annoyed.

The Lu family has been under the control of the Xie family and the Cui family over the years. They have secretly retained their power to train their descendants, always hoping to return to the glory of being the leader of the aristocratic families one day.

It’s not like the Lu family is completely without chance.

In any case, there is still a third prince in the palace, who is of the Lu family's bloodline.

Although he lost the protection of his mother, Lu Liangdi was posthumously named Shufei after the current emperor ascended the throne because of her contribution in giving birth to a son.

With this title, the Lu family obtained many official positions and received some resource compensation.

However, the fact that Lu Yi was eventually divorced by Chun Ning during the Meiyuan incident had a far greater impact on the Lu family than expected, causing the entire family to actually become weak.

Just when he was in trouble, Xie Shu extended an olive branch.

The Lu family was overjoyed and immediately seized the opportunity.

It's true that they had considered joining Xie Shu before, but they relied on their noble family status and the third prince in their hands, which naturally created a conflict of interest between them and the fourth prince born to Queen Xie.

Now, the Cui family has returned to their hometown, and it seems that this generation is completely doomed.

From the court to the aristocratic families, no one can compete with Xie Shu.

The first request Xie Shu put forward was to ask the Lu family to find a woman worthy of Yan Changqing.

His move was intended to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, he wanted to test the sincerity of the Lu family, and on the other hand, he wanted to further bind Yan Changqing and create new points of conflict between him and the princess.

He felt that Wanqi Tower alone was not enough, whether it was real or fake.

Moreover, Lu Yun is his man. When he is with Yan Changqing, he can gather information for him.

At that time, he wouldn't have to worry about whether Yan Changqing was sincere enough. For the sake of the family, Lu Yun would find ways to achieve his goal.

As for Yan Changqing’s refusal?

Then there is no need to explore further.

If he refuses, it will make it clear that the purpose of forming an alliance with him is not pure.

It was a test from Xie Shu to Yan Changqing.

Xie Shu’s request was not simple. The Lu family spent a lot of effort to find a suitable candidate before they decided on Lu Yun.

As for Lu Yun, other things might be false, but her admiration for Yan Changqing is genuine.

Unexpectedly, the first word Yan Changqing said was "pimp"?
