Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

Mingyi kept her promise. After a good sleep, she seemed to have nothing to do. It was time to eat and sleep. She was still energetic enough to wait for Xue Lin to come back and ask about the situation.

However, the news that Xue Lin brought back was not that good. The moment she saw Xue Lin shaking her head, although Mingyi had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but dim her eyes.

"They must still be in the city right now." Xue Lin comforted her.

"However, the city gate cannot be closed all the time." The city gate can be closed for one day at most. If it is not opened after one day, it will probably cause panic among the people in the city, and there will even be chaos. But once the city gate is opened, it may not be possible to defend it tightly.

Xue Lin didn't say anything for a while, because they all knew that if they wanted to catch Wei Xunzhi, they would probably fail in just one day and night if they missed it.

"We have already sent people to check each house. Let's be patient and wait." After a while, Xue Lin said.

Mingyi nodded, knowing that it was useless to worry now, and she couldn't help. If ordinary people were afraid of collaborating with the enemy and treason, they would not dare to shield and hide them, but they were afraid that they would have plenty of means to force the people to help them.

"But there is something gained. The other end of the torture room has roughly asked who the young Hu man who was with Wei Xuazhi is." Xue Lin decided to tell some good news to make Mingyi feel better.

"Who is it?" Since the words have ended here, it must be a famous person.

Sure enough, "The fourth prince of Beidi, Hu Luyan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "clang" sound suddenly came from outside, which was the sound of a cup being knocked over.

Xue Lin immediately turned on his heels, turned around and walked out, followed closely by Mingyi.

There was only Wei Yu outside, and there was an overturned bird's nest at her feet, and she was squatting there to clean it up. Listening to the noise, she raised her head in panic, with a stiff smile on her pale face, "Slave, cook for Madam." I found a bowl of bird's nests, but I accidentally knocked them over, so I'll clean them up now." After that, he quickly picked up the bird's nests and the overturned bowls that were scattered on the floor.

Xue Lin and Mingyi didn't speak from beginning to end. After Wei Yu hurried away, Xue Lin looked at Ming Yi seriously. The latter frowned and looked at the direction Wei Yu left. When he turned to look at Xue Lin, he could not detect it. The ground shook his head slightly.

At dawn, Wei Yu left the Governor's Mansion with a basket on her arm. The concierge recognized her and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Wei Yu, are you going out so early?"

"Yeah." Wei Yu nodded lightly, then immersed herself in going out of the mansion. When she got to the door, she turned left and walked to the side wall to look around. Finally, she found a not so obvious mark at the base of the wall, so she followed the instructions again. She searched in the direction pointed by the mark and found a residential house along the way. Before she could knock on the door, a scimitar was pressed against her throat behind her.

She stiffened slightly and said hurriedly, "I... I'm here to see the Fourth Prince. Just tell me, the girl from Guojia Village who was saved by him nine years ago wants to see her. Do you want to see her?"

After all, the scimitar behind him did not cut directly. After thinking for a while, the scimitar was removed from his neck and placed on the back of his waist. The person behind him said in fluent Chinese, "Go in!"

Wei Yu trembled, and finally stepped forward, pushed open the hidden courtyard door of the house, and stepped inside.

The lights were on in the main room of the house. Weiyu was escorted by the person behind him to this place. When he entered the door, he first saw several people who were tied up with strips of cloth in their mouths. There were men, women, old and some. Young Master, it seems, is the real owner of this residence. Wei Yu managed to calm down, but her pupils were still slightly narrowed and her face turned pale.

"Girl from Guojiacun... your name should be Weiyu now, right?" A soft and smiling voice came to his ears. Weiyu raised his eyes and saw a man sitting at the table under the lamp, dressed in ordinary cloth. But he still doesn't hide his tall figure and aloof aura. The deep facial features of the person in front of him coincided with that of the young man in his memory. Wei Yu quickly bowed her knees and bowed deeply, "I have met the Fourth Prince."

"Thank you for being by Jiaojiao's side all these years. You took good care of her for Xiao Wang!" Hu Luyan said with a slight smile on his lips.

Wei Yu's face suddenly stiffened, "It was in order to repay the fourth prince's life-saving grace that I came to serve the princess. Over the years, the princess has treated me very well. I have not suffered at all. It is my fault that I should thank you." The prince found a good way out for the slave and sent the slave to the princess." Wei Yu said and bowed to Hu Luyan again.

Hu Luyan looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes, "I still have to thank you. After all, in addition to what happened before, I also want to thank you today. If it weren't for you, how could Xiao Wang see Jiaojiao?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yu suddenly raised her eyelashes in surprise, unable to hide the panic in her expression.

Hu Luyan clapped his hands and said, "Let's see if our distinguished guest has arrived. If he does, please come in quickly!" As he said this, he was already looking towards the door of the room, where the sky was not yet bright, and there was something in his eyes. It’s an expectation that can’t be hidden.

"Yes!" The man holding the knife against Wei Yu's waist responded, put away the scimitar and walked out.

The knife was moved away, but Wei Yu shuddered, her throat rolled slightly, and she shouted in a harsh voice, "Fourth Prince..."

"Shh!" Hu Luyan raised his index finger to his lips, "Jiaojiao is here!"

Weiyu frowned and raised her ears. She really heard the footsteps coming from far away. She turned her head and looked at Mingyi, who was wearing a riding uniform, walking slowly towards her. She looked slightly stunned and called out, "Madam..."

Mingyi smiled slightly in return, "I've put you in a difficult position, Weiyu!"

Weiyu shook his head, his eye circles suddenly turned red.

Mingyi then raised her eyes to look at the person who had been staring at her with a burning gaze since she entered the door. When she looked over, she was slightly stunned. Wasn't this the same person on her way back to Beiguan from Anyuan Town? Was that the young Hu man who peeked at her in the Hu caravan that she met by chance? Unexpectedly...he is Hu Luyan, the fourth prince of Beidi.

For a moment, Mingyi couldn't tell whether she felt sad or regretful. If she knew he was Hu Luyan from the beginning, how could Jin Changguo escape so easily? If we had known that he was Hu Luyan and captured him, we would have had a bargaining chip to confront Beidi, but it would be a pity...

Hu Luyan, however, let her look at her for a moment, and finally couldn't hold it back any longer and called softly, "Jiaojiao, I finally see you openly. You don't know that at that time I deliberately turned around and headed towards Anyuan Town. Just to meet you, but it’s a pity that you didn’t recognize me at that time. Speaking of which, I recognized you Jiaojiao at a glance, especially the cinnabar mole under your eyes, which is still the same as before. You didn’t recognize me I come, but I have changed a lot over the years? Have I grown taller and stronger? I am no longer the thin boy who needed your protection. I am now strong and capable, and can protect you." He His eyes were very eager. As he spoke, he stood up and reached out towards Mingyi, but Mingyi stepped aside and glanced at Weiyu.

Last night, Wei Yu only said that it was true that there was a disaster in her hometown, and it was true that her parents and relatives died on the way to escape. She just concealed that she was rescued by someone, and then, through this person, she entered the Jiyang Prince's Mansion and became Fu Mingyi's personal maid. Over the years, she would send news from time to time, only mentioning Fu Mingyi's current situation. But he didn't say what the relationship between Hu Luyan and Fu Mingyi was.
