Warring States Eagle

On the second day, I had breakfast.The servants sent by the master arrived on time.

After Zheng Liang and Wang Hai made some arrangements, they followed the servant alone, dressed as passers-by, and walked out of the city all the way.

To be honest, Zheng Liang always thought that the other party would choose to meet in the city, such as a restaurant or even a private residence. After all, the city is full of fish and snakes, so it is easy to hide, but he did not expect that the other party chose to meet outside the city.

Walking along the official road all the way to the suburbs, Zheng Liang couldn't help muttering to himself that the other party probably had other plans.But seeing Wang Hai's still calm look, Zheng Liang decided to go a little further.

Zhengliang is now in the suburbs north of Ningbo City.Not far away is the very famous Three Ports in the future, which is named after the confluence of three rivers.

The two continued to walk with the servant for about two quarters of an hour until they came to a ferry. Zheng Liang looked carefully and saw a stone tablet next to the ferry, which read "Peach Blossom Ferry".Could it be that the other party is on the other side?Zhengliang couldn't help thinking.

But to Zheng Liang's surprise, when he was about to approach the ferry, the servant in charge of leading the way suddenly turned around and walked along the road by the river, and soon everyone gathered in a courtyard full of peach blossom trees. stopped in front of the door.

The servant went to the gate of the courtyard and slapped the gate a few times. The gate of the yard opened with a creak.After the servant leading the way whispered a few words to the person who opened the door, the door opened with a creak.Then the servant leading the way turned his head, waved to Zheng Liang and the two, and motioned for Zheng Liang and the two to follow closely.

Walking into the yard, I realized that this is a typical Jiangnan garden. (.)

This is a secondary yard.Zhengliang is now in the outer courtyard.As soon as you enter the door, you will face a huge granite screen covered with ivy, and there is a corridor on the left and right sides.At the end of the corridor on the left, you can see a circular arch, through which you can see another courtyard inside.The corridor on the right leads to some rooms, which should be the rooms where the servants live.

Follow the servant leading the way to the left corridor paved with bluestone, and soon bypass the huge stone screen.Only at this time did Zheng Liang see the whole picture of the outer courtyard clearly.The outer courtyard is square, with a small pond in the middle.The central yang of the pond is a gazebo, a small arched bridge connects the corridor on the left, and on the right side of the yard are several neatly arranged rooms.Masaragi was following the servant leading the way to one of the rooms.

After arriving at the reception room, the servant made a gesture of invitation.Zhengliang and his servant followed the servant into the room, and saw a beautiful screen placed in the room, dividing the room into two.A table had already been set up on the side of Zheng Liang and the other, apparently for the two of them.

It seems that the other party does not want to meet directly with the two of them.Seeing such a situation, Zheng Liang thought to himself.However, from the perspective of the other party, this is also a normal move.When it is not confirmed whether Zhengliang is really qualified to cooperate with him, it is reasonable to do so for the sake of safety.

Zheng Liang smiled lightly, looked at Wang Hai, and sat down peacefully.

"Miss. Two guests have arrived."The servant who had been leading the way said respectfully to the other side of the screen.

"It turns out that the honored guest was not able to welcome you far away, so please forgive me." A beautiful voice came from behind the screen.

"Hehe, the host is being polite, today I brought His Royal Highness Masamune from Japan."Wang Hai immediately cupped his hands to the other side of the screen and said.

"His Royal Highness Zhengliang, the little girl is being polite. Since His Highness came from afar, it must be that this cooperation is inevitable, so the little girl is also beating around the bush. Please tell Your Highness Zhengliang, what can His Highness bring to our family this time?" What kind of benefits," the woman said slowly.

Zheng Liang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, this woman's character is really straightforward.He didn't even say much polite words, and went straight to the topic.Since the other party is like this, Zheng Liang is not polite, and immediately asks Wang Hai to tell the whole plan that the two of them discussed last night.

Why let Wang Hai say it?The main purpose is to indirectly tell the woman inside that this plan has been discussed between Wang Hai and Zheng Liang.

Sure enough, after Wang Hai said the plan, the woman asked several more detailed questions, but finally she didn't make a sound.It should be thinking about gains and losses.

Zheng Liang and Wang Hai were not in a hurry, they drank tea and quietly waited for the other party's response.

"Did His Highness Zheng Liang just come from Japan?" At this time, the woman inside suddenly asked a strange question.

"I arrived a few days ago, but I only arrived at the boundary of Ningbo Prefecture yesterday." Zheng Liang replied truthfully. Anyway, it is an irrelevant question, so it doesn't matter if you answer generously.

"I don't know which official road His Highness Zheng Liang took to come to Ningbo Mansion?" the woman continued to ask.

This time Zhengliang didn't answer immediately, because he felt a little strange.Why does the other party keep asking me about my journey?

"To tell you the truth, Your Highness Zhengliang, the little girl was attacked by gangsters on her way back to Ningbo Mansion two days ago, and her servants suffered heavy casualties. In the critical moment, a hero came to help her and survived. The little girl just heard about His Highness Zhengliang. His accent seems to be quite similar to that of the chivalrous men of that day, that's why I asked this question." Seeing that Zheng Liang didn't respond for a long time, the woman could only say quietly.

"Ah..." Zheng Liang was stunned.Wouldn't it be such a coincidence?Isn't the chivalrous woman mentioned by the woman herself?Wang Hai was also quite shocked. First, because his host was attacked, and judging from the time, he was attacked just after meeting him, so he might be suspected of being collaborating with the enemy; , Then he knew a thing or two about saving people in the evening of the second day, and immediately guessed that the chivalrous man mentioned by the boss was most likely Zheng Liang himself.Thinking of this, Wang Hai looked at Zheng Liang, his eyes full of questions.

Seeing Wang Hai's gaze, Zheng Liang smiled wryly, then took out the handkerchief deliberately left by the rescued woman that night from his bosom, handed it to the servant beside him, and signaled him to give it to the master inside.This handkerchief was originally going to be put in Zhengliang's package, but Mingfeng Xiuzheng, who was in charge of keeping the package, was unwilling to carry the package with this handkerchief.He is also a shrewd person, and he obviously felt that the handkerchief left by this woman was specially for the Patriarch.In order to avoid suspicion, he was unwilling even to keep it on his behalf.Zhengliang is also a casual person, so he simply carried this handkerchief with him.I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

After the servant took the handkerchief, he passed it to a maid.The maid immediately gave the handkerchief to her master.

There was a sound of a chair moving inside the "Zhi", and then only heard the woman say: "Sure enough, it really is a chivalrous man." (To be continued...)
