Chapter 154 The Uncertain Guest

In the wing room, Lin Xueyi was sitting by the window, looking out from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone!

"Miss Lin, Mr. Ma said that there are guests at home, so he won't come to see Miss today." A young woman dressed as a maid pushed the door open and said softly.

"No wonder he hasn't come yet!" Lin Xueyi's eyes dimmed, and she asked again, "Where did the guest come from?"

"I don't know." The servant girl stood with her head down, and replied softly, "This servant girl is just passing on the message, and I don't know anything else."

"Understood, go down! I'll go for a walk by myself!" Lin Xueyi stood up, glanced at her expressionlessly, and thought to herself, even if you knew, you wouldn't tell me.

"Miss, the young master has ordered that the lady is not allowed to go out of this courtyard alone, and no one can take the lady out of here except him." The servant girl said in a serious manner.

Lin Xueyi heard the words, the corners of her mouth twitched, she wanted to say something but in the end she didn't say anything, she just sighed deeply, and sat down again, she has been here for more than a month, except waiting, just waiting, fortunately there is him Being by his side and taking good care of him, life will not be lonely and boring, but she doesn't understand whether he treats her so well because of his sister, or because of her...

She was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she hasn't had much contact with young men. Now she has been with this Ma Haoxuan for more than a month, and she has a good impression of him. He is so humorous and open-minded. She is always very happy with him. Happy, whatever he says can make her happy...

But, what is his mind?

She knew he didn't have a wife yet, and even told her so.He has been looking for that person among all living beings, so is he the person he is looking for?

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she looked at her young and pretty face carefully, and her face blushed slightly!

In front of the gate of Juxian Building, there are officers and soldiers standing in a row, heavily guarded, as if something big has happened.

Passers-by all detoured and passed by, unable to dodge in time!

"What happened?" Ma Haoxuan got off his horse.Looking at the officers and soldiers standing outside the door, he looked puzzled, and saw a man in black greet him with a smile, and asked in a deep voice.

With so many officers and soldiers surrounding his restaurant, is he still doing business?

"Mr. Ma, don't panic. The Marquis of Zhongyi is waiting upstairs. You will find out later!" The man in black replied expressionlessly.

In the wing room on the second floor, the door was ajar, Hou Zhongyi was standing by the window, as if contemplating, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.Looking at Ma Haoxuan who walked in from the door, there seemed to be some excitement in his eyes.

"Master Hou." Ma Haoxuan saw him.He hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Haoxuan, come and sit." Hou Zhongyi looked at Ma Haoxuan carefully as if he had never seen him before, and greeted him in a hostile manner.

Ma Haoxuan froze for a moment, then looked at him in bewilderment, to this uncle Guo.Although he is not very familiar with it, he is not unfamiliar either.Although his father, Ma Xingzhi, was at odds with him, they still had some contacts before retiring, so he also met a few times.

"Haoxuan, your father has been sick for the past few days. I think he must miss you very much, so I passed by here, and I will send you a message. It is best for us to return to Beijing together." Hou Zhongyi looked at him calmly. he.

"My father is unwell? When did it happen?" Ma Haoxuan asked with concern. He looked at him and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. How could he be so enthusiastic?

During the last war, Hou Zhongyi and his father almost turned against each other, and they seemed to have nothing to do with each other until death. In a short period of time, could it be that the two have settled down and reconciled as before?

"It just happened a few days ago. I have already asked the imperial doctor to see it. It's okay!"

"Thank you, Lord Hou. I still have some mundane affairs to attend to. I will tell you when I get home, and then I will return to Beijing as soon as possible with Lord Hou." Ma Haoxuan hurriedly saluted, "Master Hou, please wait a moment."

"You are busy with your work, don't be in a hurry." Hou Zhongyi looked meaningfully at the slender and handsome Ma Haoxuan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, do you see this?" Seeing Ma Haoxuan descending the stairs, the shopkeeper walked over tremblingly and asked.So many officers and soldiers come here, what is the matter?

"It's okay, let me tell you, prepare more food and wine to entertain them well, and I'll come as soon as I go." Ma Haoxuan walked out unhurriedly.

"Yes." Hearing the words, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated in response.

Ma Haoxuan rode a horse and rushed home, he knew that Hou Zhongyi said his father was ill, it was just an excuse, something must have happened to his father in the capital!

When he reached the door, he tied the horse and knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and he stepped in, and the door closed again quickly!

Not far away, two figures stared at the door calmly.

Ma Haoxuan glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, crossed the front yard, and strolled into the study.

"My lord." The servant took a steaming cup of tea and gently placed it on the table.

"En." Ma Haoxuan responded, and waved at him, the servant stepped forward suspiciously, Ma Haoxuan whispered something in his ear, the servant's expression turned serious, and he took the order and left.

After the servant left, Ma Haoxuan went to the bookshelf, raised his hand and touched the hidden compartment on the wall, a small side door appeared next to the bookshelf, Ma Haoxuan stepped in, and the wall closed slowly again, looking There is no trace of abnormality.

Passing through a narrow corridor, there is light in front of it. It is a garden. The garden is very large. What is even more surprising is that there is a lake with clear water. , I think summer must be a pool of colorful flowers and leaves.

By the lake, a small boat is moored quietly, rippling with the wind.

Ma Haoxuan lifted up the hem of his clothes, jumped into the boat, picked up the paddle and tapped it lightly, and the boat hurried towards the lake.

After a while, he arrived at a shore, moored the boat, jumped ashore, walked through an alley, came to an inconspicuous house, and knocked lightly on the door.

The door opened a small crack, and the people inside saw him, their eyes lit up, and they quickly called softly: "Young master."

Ma Haoxuan nodded and stepped in.

"Mr. Ma." When Lin Xueyi saw him, she walked up to him with crooked eyebrows and asked softly, "The guest is gone?"

"Miss Lin, it's the Marquis of Zhongyi who is here. I think something happened to my father in the capital. I have to go back to the capital immediately to find out the news. You can stay here at ease and wait for me to come back." When Ma Haoxuan saw her, he said in a deep voice. Said, "After a while, Hou Zhongyi can't find me, and there will be chaos outside. Remember, no matter what happens, you don't go out. I have ordered people to prepare a boat for me, and I will leave immediately!"

"Mr. Ma, take me away! I don't want to stay here, I want to go to the capital with you." Lin Xueyi hurriedly stepped forward to grab the hem of his clothes when she heard that he was leaving, and begged, "The most dangerous place is The safest place, you took me to the capital, the closer you are to Nalan Yunxuan, the safer it is, if one day his people find this place and you are not here, what should I do?"

"But I'm going, I'm afraid it will be bad luck, you will be in danger if you are by my side." Ma Haoxuan looked down at her, and said in a low voice, "If there is no news from me within ten days, something happened, you can find a way Go to Yuzhou and find your sister."

"No, I want to go with you. I have stayed here for more than a month. If I stay here any longer, I will go crazy. Take me away!" Lin Xueyi looked at him, thought for a while, and said hastily, " Don't worry, I won't trouble you.

Ma Haoxuan couldn't help trembling in his heart, he pondered for a moment, and said softly, "Alright then! Clean up, let's go now!"

"Wait a minute!" Lin Xueyi smiled mysteriously at him, turned around and entered the back room.

A moment later, a young man in a short coat and trousers came out, with a blue square scarf tied around his hair, his face was a little dark, but he looked very energetic. He smiled at Ma Haoxuan, stepped forward to bow, rudely Said: "Young master, let's go!"

"You?" Ma Haoxuan looked at him in surprise, "Miss Lin?"

"How is it? Mr. Ma, don't you recognize it?" Lin Xueyi smiled and said, "These days, I have been thinking that if I know the disguise technique, I won't have to hide from now on, I can You can come and go freely, I asked Qiutang to go out and buy these things, how about it? Can you pass the test?"

"It's really you, let's go!" Ma Haoxuan's mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of a smile on his face.

The two walked out of the courtyard quickly, opened the door, walked out, looked up, and were stunned, a dozen horses were galloping towards here, and the leader was actually Nalan Yunxuan.

"Mr. Ma, I'm the one who got you involved." Lin Xueyi looked at the situation in front of her, her expression changed immediately, and she said in a trembling voice, "I'll go with him, don't worry about me."

"Let's see what they are going to do first. Let's keep calm and don't get confused. Maybe they won't recognize you." Ma Haoxuan said in a deep voice, "Don't panic."

"Ma Haoxuan, you dare to get your hands on the woman this king is looking for, I think you are impatient." On the horseback, Nalan Yunxuan looked at Lin Xueyi who was disguised as a man in front of him with disdain, and said coldly, "Lin Xueyi, do you think this king won't recognize you if you dress up like this?"

The people behind him immediately flashed their arrows, and a dozen cold swishing arrows aimed at the two people immediately.

"No." Seeing that the matter had been revealed, Lin Xueyi stepped forward tremblingly and knelt and said, "Your Highness calm down, I know my mistake, and I am willing to go back with His Highness, and please don't hurt innocent people."

"Hmph! Lin Xueyi, you guys and widows are in the same room, what are you talking about about innocent people? Do you think this king will keep a woman like you who ruined my reputation in this world?" Nalan Yunxuan sneered.

"Nalan Yunxuan, come at me if you have the ability." Ma Haoxuan frowned, stepped forward to block Lin Xueyi behind him, and said loudly, "What kind of a hero is it to embarrass a woman?"

"No, I, Lin Xueyi, am willing to bear all the responsibility for the crime, and please Your Highness let Young Master Ma go."

"Haha, what a loving and affectionate couple." Nalan Yunxuan laughed, "This king will fulfill you, under the nine springs, you can continue to love each other!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a dozen cold arrows whizzed towards the two of them behind him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
