After Chuan Shu died, the four apprentices turned black

Chapter 40 Accidental Meeting
"Then what should we do?" Yue Ying blinked her eyes, "Should I continue looking for him?"

Nangong Yuheng snorted coldly, apparently being teased by a monster made him very upset:
"Yes, that's the only way to go. Today I will take Liao Zheng with me, try to catch him once, and return to the palace as soon as possible."

"I'll go back to the palace right away..." Yueying sighed, feeling full, she put down her chopsticks and took a sip of her tea with a lazy expression.

"Your Highness doesn't want to go back?"

"Not really, I just think there is nothing interesting in the palace, it's too boring."

"Speaking of fun, today and tomorrow there will be a quarterly Hundred Chamber of Commerce. Merchants from all corners of the country will gather in Qihe City. There are many novel and interesting things and stalls, and there are many delicious..."

Probably related to something I was interested in, the maidservant who was busy removing the bowls and chopsticks joined the topic in a low voice, the more she talked, the more she spoke, with a smile on her face, and she suddenly recovered and found that she had interrupted the conversation of two noble adults. Looking at her intently and listening to her words, especially Nangong Yuheng's indifferent expression, he was startled and closed his mouth in a hoarse voice.

"What's delicious, sounds interesting, once a season? That means there will be four times a year?"

Yueying managed to attract the attention of the Hundred Chambers of Commerce she described, and her eyes were bright to ask the bottom line.

Finding that she was not scolded, the maid slowly regained her courage and replied in a low voice:

"Returning to Your Highness, the Hundred Chambers of Commerce is indeed held four times a year. Today and tomorrow are the most lively summer chambers of commerce. Most of the people who come to participate are big merchants, and the things they buy and sell are the most rare. The winter chamber of commerce is not so lively. , only some traveling merchants who are not far away will come to participate."

"For this reason, the city gates of Qihe City will be open for two days and two nights, and people who come and go will not be restricted at all."

Yueying nodded thoughtfully, and sighed:
"very nice."

The servant girl smiled and said fawningly: "If Your Highness wants to go, this servant girl will order you to go down and make preparations."

"Don't go." She smacked her mouth and shook her head.

"why?"

"Why not go?"

The two asked questions in unison. The maid looked at Nangong Yuheng who asked the same question as herself, and realized that she shouldn't ask too many questions, so she lowered her head and gave a slight signal before taking the tray down.

"Of course it's to avoid trouble for you. Didn't I say that I'm going to go out with Liao Zheng to catch demons today? If I'm still playing around at this time, there will be more chaos in places with many people. Oh no."

Yueying really wants to go out. For these interesting customs in ancient times, and the rare gathering of hundreds of businessmen, just imagining it makes her feel very lively. She is very interested, but she also knows when to do what. The purpose of coming out this time is not to play, but to settle the matter first, not to mention that even if you don't go today, isn't there still tomorrow?

With a bit of luck, if you can catch that monster today, you can go out to play with peace of mind tomorrow.

"Your Highness..." Nangong Yuheng was in a complicated mood, and couldn't respond to Yue Ying's statement that he understood the overall situation.

He really doesn't want to see Yueying sacrifice some happiness that is not too demanding due to unavoidable reasons.

She obviously just wanted to go shopping and have fun, which anyone could easily do, but Yueying had to be trapped in this mansion for his consideration and had no chance to get in touch with the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

"And I have a guess. Could it be that this monster has been lingering around here and has been waiting for this rare chamber of commerce? There are so many people, it's more convenient for him to do what he wants."

Monsters live on blood, wars, disasters and resentment, wherever there is chaos, there are their shadows, and some monsters even go to the edge of the sword to deliberately create chaos in order to become stronger, and the more trouble they cause, the more energy they get. more.

Isn't the gathering of hundreds of merchants the best time to make a move?

"Yes, what Your Highness said is very reasonable. Liao Zheng and I had the same guess before, so today is the most critical day. I know His Highness wants to go out and have a look, but I can only wrong you to stay here for the last day, tonight I must deal with the matter well before, and I will be able to take His Highness out tomorrow."

Although it was an ordinary agreement, his tone was serious as if he was making some kind of promise. His expression made Yueying laugh, and he was a little moved.

"Isn't it just that you can't go out for a stroll? Don't worry about me if it's a big deal. Just do what you should do. Now you are not only my little apprentice, but also the national teacher of the entire Rain Kingdom, and the support of all the people. "

She comforted him with a smile. The more he behaved like this, the more Nangong Yuheng felt in a bad mood. He also responded with a smile on his face, but he was a little depressed in his heart. Now that he has gone through all kinds of hardships to sit in this position, he has no ability. Although she is low, she still gets entangled in things and can't do whatever she wants. She can't even meet Yueying's needs at the very least.

This made him annoyed, and when he returned to the main hall, his face was gloomy, and his whole body was cold, even a blind man like Liao Zheng could clearly feel that something was wrong with him.

"Didn't Brother Yuheng go to look for His Royal Highness Mingchen? Why is this expression not a quarrel?"

Liao Zheng shivered and asked curiously.

"Walk."

Nangong Yuheng didn't answer his words, and strode out with a single word. Liao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly chased him out, asking:

"Why are you going? Didn't you say that you will only look for it tonight? It's hard to find his breath during the day, so he only comes out to move around at night... Hey, wait for me!"

Yueying did stay in the mansion all day without going out, but the mansion was well repaired, with flowing water corridors, pleasant scenery, and many little maids accompanied her to relieve boredom, and although she couldn't go out, those little maids could go out, she deliberately Tell them to go out to buy delicious food, and buy back many new things that they have never seen before.

Belching until she was full, Yueying had to walk around in the small garden to digest.

It was getting late, but there was no news of Nangong Yuheng and the others coming back, but there was no bad news either.

Yue Ying was a little worried, she couldn't catch her tonight, could she?So she won't be able to go out to play tomorrow.

What kind of sacred place is this, with three heads and six arms, a cunning rabbit and three holes?He can hide like this, even Nangong Yuheng and Liao Zheng couldn't find it for a long time.

By the way, what does a monster look like?She has indeed never seen a real monster, and the only time she had direct contact with a monster was in her memories. The weird sheep on the grassland, if it was rendered artistically, could be made into a ghost movie.

Yueying began to imagine that she had devil's sharp horns like a sheep, golden eyes, hard scales all over her body, covered with armor that was hard to pierce, sharp long claws on her hands and feet, a long scarlet tongue, and terrifying monsters. fangs, perhaps with several rows of teeth like a shark's...

Just as he was thinking, he saw a tall dark red figure turning over from the wall head-on.

The man rolled over, stood still and looked at her in blank dismay.

Yueying stared wide-eyed, pointing at him as she was about to speak, but he covered her mouth almost instantly.

His wide palm could cover her entire face, and naturally and easily covered her mouth and nose, so that she almost stopped breathing, not to mention making a sound.

Yue Ying struggled violently for a few times, and realized that this man didn't care about her life at all, so she quickly and obediently stopped all struggles to express her position, and sure enough, the man let go of her.

"You are Pang Yuan, I know you." Yue Ying whispered immediately, and at the same time looked behind him nervously to make sure no one saw her.

Fortunately, the bunch of chattering little maids were driven to the street by her, and now she is the only one wandering in the backyard, otherwise such a large living person barged in like no one else, or at this sensitive and vigilant time, I'm afraid it will frighten them.

After all, Liao Zheng's mansion seems to be guarded sparsely, but in fact, his surveillance network is full of him. Once someone breaks in, he will be detected immediately, and he can remotely control some traps that have been set up to catch this uninvited guest. Rarely recruit thieves.

Hearing her words, Pang Yuanjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a slight change in his originally plain expression.

Yue Ying sighed in her heart, this man is really the darling of the Creator, with 360 degrees without dead ends, and any expression looks good.

"You know me?" he said, his voice low and seductive.

However, it was too close. Under his peerless beauty, Yue Ying was distracted, and almost couldn't hear what he said.

"...you saved my life." Yueying swallowed, calming down her beating heart, her ears turned red uncontrollably.

It's because this person's appearance is too aggressive, which makes her a little overwhelmed.

Worthy of being one of the four protagonists, if Nangong Yuheng is a cold man like a bamboo and snow plum, then Pang Yuan is an existence as strong as wine, once he gets close, he will definitely attract all your attention with an irresistible sense of presence Attract past.

Pang Yuan seems to always be dressed in dark red, even his hair is a little black and reddish, but it is not long, most of it is tied behind the ears a little unruly, leaving two strokes on both sides of his forehead, cutting him like a knife His face became more and more angular.

It was clearly a scorching summer day, yet he was wearing a fur that had nothing to do with the season. It was thick and wide, which set off his already tall figure even stronger.

Yueying didn't understand who Pang Yuan was and why she appeared here, but it seemed that she shouldn't ask random questions at the moment. He had no doubt that if he was dissatisfied, he would solve her smoothly.

And I don't know why Pang Yuan doesn't know her as the "heroine". If the system hadn't reminded her that this is Pang Yuan, one of the four major mission objectives, she would definitely suspect that this person has no contact with the heroine.

"Saved you?" Pang Yuan was a little stunned. He couldn't even imagine that he would save others, but she could call out his name accurately. Maybe there was such a thing, but he slept too much. Forgot for a long time.

"On the grassland, in a village...in a military camp, about 15 years ago."

He frowned slightly and thought hard for a while, then suddenly said:

"Oh! It's you, you've grown up so much."

After all, he finally got some interest, he glanced up and down at Yueying, trying to match the exquisite beauty in front of him with the little girl in memory who wanted nothing but nothing.

"It's growing well." His tone was subtle.

The corner of Yueying's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to thank him or scold him.

"But I don't remember that I told you my name." He narrowed his eyes suspiciously again, his sharp eyes were like a cunning and suspicious old fox, which made Yue Ying feel flustered.

He was right, he really never gave her a name, and the reason why she knew Pang Yuan's name was because the system told her after detecting the target person.

Not to mention Pang Yuan, and Long Shi, whom she has never even met face to face, she also knows the name.

How can this be explained, tell him that I have traveled through time, and I have a portable system that is useless but can tell me your names?
Yue Ying was silent for two seconds, and finally had to bite the bullet and lie to him:

"You probably remembered it wrong, otherwise how would I know your name? You told me your name is Pang Yuan, so I always remember you. After all, you are my savior."

"Right."

Fortunately, he didn't want to delve into this issue, and the next second when Yue Ying felt relieved that she had finally fooled her past, he said abruptly:

"You look familiar."

"Of course it looks familiar. You saved me back then." Yue Ying was a little confused and couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

Are handsome guys so out of their minds?

"No, it's not the familiarity that time, but... Let me think about it." He fell into the silence of memories again.

The two of them just stood face to face in the heart of the courtyard and chatted openly, without any obtrusive appearance, as if he had come to chat with Yue Ying originally.

Yueying had seen his supernatural powers, so she was worried about being seen at first, but then she relaxed and chatted with him, and if anyone approached him, she would definitely find out immediately.

"what's your name?"

"I told you before." Yue Ying curled her lips, at first she wanted to complain that this man was good-looking but his memory was really bad, but then she thought that this memory that was only a day past for her was already gone for him. In the past 15 years, it was not easy to remember her, so he forgave him again.

"Mingchen."

"Princess Mingchen? Isn't it you that rainy kid is looking for every day?" He once again showed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder I feel familiar, I saw you on the bounty, and the portraits of you are everywhere, I don't think it looks familiar It's hard. You're right, you did tell me that your name is Mingchen before, but it's clearly a title, but you didn't mention your real name, it's really unfair."

He whined and complained, but he was also a chatterbox.

The fact is not that he chattered, but that for some reason, when he faced this Princess Mingchen, he would inexplicably become talkative. If it was normal, he would rather sleep than talk to others.

Because there is nothing to say and the world is boring, he sleeps all year round and only wakes up occasionally to move his body.

"My real name is Yueying."

The first time I said my name, I was worried about meeting someone who was not nice when I was away from home, so I half-truthed and half-falsely reported a title. Now that I know that he is Pang Yuan, I feel relieved to tell him his name.

However, this name was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, knocking him on the head, causing him to freeze in place, even his breathing stopped, leaving only his heartbeat so intense that it almost exploded.
