Come on, Your Highness

Chapter 174 Divided into 2 ways

When several people arrived in front of the county government office, Lu Xueliang asked, "Is there any movement inside?"

The person in charge replied: "No, I have surrounded this house twice, even if someone climbs over the wall and goes out, they can still see it."

Lu Xueliang straightened his clothes, "Let's go, let's invite His Royal Highness the King of England."

This time the guards at the gate of the house did not stop them, and let them pass all the way in front of the hall.

Xiao Hong was sitting in the upper seat drinking tea, He Xichao was sitting under him, four well-dressed young masters were sitting on both sides in turn, and there were more than a dozen scholars who looked like scholars who did not sit down, the situation seemed to be waiting for them to come.

Several people met Li respectfully, Xiao Hong curled up the corner of his mouth, showing a sarcastic smile, and said, "You guys are very patient, and you have waited until now to urge me." He rolled his eyes, " Yo, there is a new face, it seems that Marquis Cheng En has given instructions, what should I say?"

The man raised his hand and arched, "Your Highness, the villain is..."

"No, no one, I don't bother to remember." Xiao Hong took a sip of tea leisurely.

The smile on Mr. Lang's face did not fall off. In Jiangzhou Mansion, as a celebrity in front of Cheng Enhou, few people have given him face.

But he didn't dare to show it on his face when Xiao Hong gave him food, so he could only sulk, and then put on a smile and said: "It's really not worth mentioning that the villain took a position in front of Marquis Cheng En. A few days ago, I heard that His Highness was concerned about the villagers of Kuiliang County. Cheng Enhou was very appreciative, and specially ordered the third master to handle the matter. The third master is young and energetic, and he is a little edgy. Hearing Cheng Enhou frequently ask His Highness when he will visit the Lu family, So I shared my father's worries and offended His Highness when delivering food this morning, which caused His Highness to misunderstand, so I came here to apologize to you."

Hearing this, Xiao Hong couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then looked at Lu Xueliang with great interest.

"No way, Master Lu San brought so many people here, I thought that if he didn't leave, he would be forced to come!"

Lu Xueliang raised a smile and said: "Your Highness misunderstood, these are food delivery people, in order to prevent people looting on the road, they sent more. In front of Your Highness, no one dares to force anyone, Cheng Enhou will be the first to refuse."

"That's it." Xiao Hong flicked the tea foam, turned to look at He Xichao, "Xichao, what do you say?"

He Xichao smiled slightly, and said warmly: "Since it's all a misunderstanding, my lords and Mr. Lu San should not stand and talk, sit down."

Xiao Hong nodded, "Yes, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

As soon as they sat down, Xiao Hong put down the teacup and asked, "Then, this king of the Lu family, can I go later?"

Just as Lu Xueliang was about to speak, Mr. Lang stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, although the third master is a bit reckless, but the Marquis has already got the news of him, and ordered the whole house to prepare a rich dinner, tidy up the house, and the inside and outside of the house are completely new. All are waiting for His Highness to drive you. Your Highness is considerate, let's leave today!"

Xiao Hong laughed, "It seems like a human saying. Come on, if this king refuses this kind of hospitality again and again, it will appear that he doesn't know how to appreciate it."

Several people apologized and said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking."

"When are you leaving then?"

Mr. Lang said: "It will take half a day to get to Lu's house from here, and we are leaving now just in time for the dinner."

Xiao Hong then stood up, "Then stop talking nonsense and let's go."

However, as soon as he got up, he saw a person rushing in.

This person leaned close to Lu Xueliang's ear and spoke quickly.

Lu Xueliang frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Xiao Hong's Prince Fuguo on the other side.

Mr. Zhu's palms were sweating immediately, but the weather was so hot that he couldn't tell he was losing his composure even though he kept shaking his folding fan.

"What's going on?" As soon as Xiao Hong finished speaking, the imperial guards guarding the gate came in, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Hong, and said, "Your Highness, someone has arrived from the Fuguo Palace."

"Ah?" Young Master Zhu swallowed his saliva and asked, "Me, my family?"

This acting, Xiao Hong twitched the corners of his mouth, he was a little afraid to watch it.

The guard replied: "Yes."

He Xichao glanced at Mr. Zhu, and then said: "Then let someone come in quickly. Mr. Fu sent someone here at this time, I'm afraid there is something urgent."

The guards can then take orders and leave.

Lu Xueliang and Mr. Lang glanced at each other, frowning slightly, but didn't say much.

After a while, a housekeeper came in hurriedly with two guards, first kowtowed to Xiao Hong, and then directly said to Mr. Zhu: "Master, Young Madam is happy!"

"Ah..." Mr. Zhu opened his mouth instantly, and then he was speechless.

That dazed look is more in line with the image of a man who suddenly heard that he was going to be a father.

Mr. Wei immediately interjected, "Sister-in-law has it?"

"That's right, one month after the young master left, the young lady couldn't eat anymore. The old lady invited the doctor to come over and take the pulse, so I'm happy!"

"This is a good thing, congratulations brother Zhu!" The scholars congratulated immediately.

Even Lu Xueliang and the prefect of Jiangzhou congratulated together.

Mr. Zhu raised his hand and arched, "We are happy together."

"By the way, young master, this is a letter from the old lady. There are also letters from the old lady and the young lady. Please take a look. The young lady is in a bad mood and can't eat. The old lady looks very anxious."

After finishing speaking, the butler took out three letters and gave them to Mr. Zhu, but the last one was written by Mr. Fu to Xiao Hong. Xiao Dunzi took it and handed it to Xiao Hong.

At this time, everyone was waiting for Mr. Zhu to speak.

I saw him open three letters and read them one by one, but his expression was a little strange. Seeing him getting nervous, the three dandies beside him couldn't help walking over together. Mr. Zheng asked: "Brother Zhu, what is said inside?" what?"

After reading it, Mr. Zhu took a deep breath, secretly encouraged himself, and then said to Xiao Hong: "Your Highness, my wife's condition is not very good. Grandma and mother hope that I can go back and have a look immediately. I am also worried... I can't help but beg Your Highness to allow me to go back to Beijing first, and then come back when Madam is stable."

As soon as he said this, he felt that he was really brave, and Mr. Zhu didn't dare to look at Lu Xueliang's face.

"This king is accommodating, but I don't know if the magistrate, Mr. Lu San, is willing to let me go?" Xiao Hong kicked this problem over with a half-smile.

The people on the opposite side frowned, looking very unhappy.

But it's human nature, if you stop him and don't let him go, wouldn't you just eat back what you said with great difficulty just now?

Besides, what qualifications do they have to stop Mr. Fu Guogong from returning to Beijing?

He Xichao took the letter from Duke Fu in Xiao Hong's hand, looked at it, and said: "The eldest son, the eldest grandson, this is Duke Fu's first great-grandson, look at the Duke, I am so anxious that I will call this grandson back from thousands of miles away. , How many people, compare your heart to your heart, and be considerate?"

He signaled Xiao Dunzi to send the letter to the other side, and asked sincerely: "Why don't you read the letter from Duke Fu? As for the letter from the female relatives in Mr. Zhu's hand, don't be rude?"

Xiao Dunzi sent the letter to Mr. Lang. The latter thought for a moment, but he didn't take it. Instead, he said with a smile: "The letter that Fu Guogong specially wrote to His Highness, a villain is not qualified to read it. Mr. Zhu is worried about his wife and children. If there is love and righteousness, wouldn’t it be inhumane to obstruct it?”

"Mr. Lang..." Master Lu San disagreed, but he heard the prefect of Jiangzhou say: "What Mr. Lang said is that His Highness has agreed, and I will naturally do so, but do I have to send someone to escort me back?"

"No need, there are guards in the mansion, I will go back by myself." Mr. Zhu refused.

Now that he has graciously let Mr. Fuguo leave, he will not be entangled in this trivial matter, and the prefect of Jiangzhou will not say anything more.

Xiao Hong was in a good mood, and said: "Let's go now, Mr. Zhu returns to the capital, and this king will go to Lu's house to sit. Master Lu San, hurry up and get ready."

After leaving the Kuiliang County magistrate's yamen, Lu Xueliang grabbed Mr. Lang and asked, "Why did you let him go? It's not clear that he was going back to Beijing to send news? We just put our arms around and captured him. What's the fuss!"

Seeing Lu Xueliang's angry and puzzled expression, Mr. Lang couldn't help but sighed, "Third Master, although he agreed to let Mr. Fuguo go out of the city, it doesn't mean he will be able to return to Beijing smoothly!"

Lu Xueliang was taken aback for a moment.

Mr. Lang asked the prefect of Jiangzhou, "Do you think so, Mr. Liang?"

The prefect of Jiangzhou stroked the two mustaches on his mouth and nodded: "Yes, Jiangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and there may be some bandits and ferocious beasts on the way, who knows?"

"So that's the case." Lu Xueliang nodded slowly, "That's right, don't think that you can sit back and relax after leaving Jiangzhou City, I will arrange it now."

Mr. Lang said: "Third Master, it would be great if you can persuade someone to come back when you stop on the road. The Duke Fu has a special status. If Lord Hou can turn the fight with His Royal Highness into friendship, then don't cause any more trouble."

"Okay, as long as this noble young master is acquainted, let him live." Speaking of this, Lu Xueliang sneered, "It's fine to bring it back, and let this invincible prince have a look, the people he sent out are all unworthy." Use, honest cooperation is the way out.”

Here, He Xichao instructed: "Remember, don't resist if you encounter something, just follow back obediently."

Mr. Zhu held the stack of letters in his arms, and nodded without tears, "Little Mister, if something happens to me, you must avenge me!"

"Bah, bah, don't say that frustrating thing, I will definitely come back safely."

"Yeah, what if they don't catch up and make it to the capital?"

Young Master Zhu immediately looked at He Xichao with hope, "Sir, do you think it's possible?"

He Xichao patted him on the shoulder, "It's usually impossible, but we should have hope."

Young Master Zhu suddenly felt that the future was dark.

Xiao Hong promised: "Go there boldly, if there is an eventuality, I will let the Lu family come down to accompany you to be buried."

Mr. Zhu: "..."

He turned his head three times a step, and Yi Shuihan got into the carriage in a rustling wind.

When the evening fell, a simple and honest man was kneeling humbly in an exquisite small courtyard with a small burden on his back. His frightened face was full of uneasiness, as if he had never seen anything in the world.

A beautiful girl waving an exquisite round fan was sitting on the porch, looked at the man and said, "Are you the one that my uncle said was going to Yongzhou to visit relatives?"

"Yes, it is the villain. The adults are pitiful and do not know the way, so they entrusted it to Miss Qingzhi!"

"Will you drive?"

"Yes, the villain has learned."

"That's good. My old servant hurt his hand, so he can't drive the car. I'll let you come tomorrow."

"Yes, the villain listens to the girl."

At this time Xiao Hong also arrived in Luozi County.

Looking at the Marquis Cheng's Mansion, which occupies a whole street, and its magnificent gate, Mr. Wei said: "Damn, even Prince Ying's Mansion is not so grand, right?"

Now the door is open, and the doorway is full of people, a decent old man with gray hair and a cane is surrounded and standing at the front, this welcoming formation can be regarded as giving Xiao Hong enough face.

"It seems that he intends to be gentle." He Xichao said.

"That's just right. When I move to rescue the soldiers, let me show them some color." Xiao Hong said, rubbing his face, and smiling at He Xichao, "Xichao, do you think my expression is okay?"

"Don't laugh too much, go up with a little offended displeasure."

Xiao Hong pulled down the arc of the corner of his mouth a little, with a somewhat haughty expression, "How about this?"

"Well, that's it. I will file a complaint when I get off the carriage later."

Xiao Hong's carriage stopped for a while at Cheng Enhou's mansion before condescendingly opening the door.

He Xichao came out first and stood by the carriage. At this moment, Xiao Hongcai got off the carriage slowly and impatiently.

Marquis Cheng En greeted him, "The old man Lu Qing is welcoming His Highness the King of England, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

Xiao Hongxu gave Cheng Enhou a hand, and said: "Cheng Enhou is really enthusiastic, if this king doesn't come, the third master of your family is really hard to please, so he has to invite me!"

When Lu Xueliang heard this, his complexion turned ugly. He didn't expect Xiao Hong to be so vengeful, and he would sue him first when they first met.

When Cheng Enhou heard it, he apologized again and again: "Your Highness, forgive me, it's because the old man is not strict in discipline. The child is reckless, he does things straight, and offends His Highness...Xueliang."

Lu Xueliang bit the bullet and said, "Father."

Cheng Enhou glanced at him coldly, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel, when your highness calms down, come out, and sharpen your arrogant temper."

Lu Xueliang didn't dare to refute, so he could only agree, "Yes, Father." Then he pleaded guilty to Xiao Hong, "Your Highness, forgive me."

Xiao Hong snorted coldly, and turned sideways with his hands behind his back.

Now that Marquis Cheng En is in front, there is no need to deal with such small talk.

"Not yet." Cheng Enhou reprimanded.

Lu Xueliang went down in despair.

"His Royal Highness, please." Cheng Enhou turned sideways and invited Xiao Hong to enter the mansion.

Xiao Hong didn't say much, and strode forward.

Looking at his back, Cheng Enhou couldn't help showing a calm smile, slightly relieved.

Tianhuang nobleman, at the age of eighteen, with facial expressions on his face, is not difficult to deal with.

The author has something to say: Mr. Zhu: I have played so many times, why don’t I have a name yet? Protest!

Wei Zhengfeng: That's right, it's good to listen to one!

Yao: Go and ask Xie San, he also has no name, as for the words, how many readers remember?
