Chapter 178 What Do You Want (Part [-])
"Yes." Chang'an answered, turned around and went out, then came in again quickly, respectfully placed the cups and chopsticks in front of Zhuang Zhipeng, and was about to reach out to Lin to get the jug, but Yuan Zhihao took the first step.

"Chang'an, you go out and guard the door first, let me have a quiet conversation with Master Zhuang." Yuan Zhihao stood up and filled a glass of wine for Zhuang Zhipeng, "Master Zhuang, how about a full glass?"

Zhuang Zhipeng didn't reach for the cup, but just looked at Yuan Zhihao with a smile: "You are polite, my servant, how dare you be the fifth master to pour the wine yourself." Although Zhuang Zhipeng spoke politely, he watched Yuan Zhihao pour the wine without any concern means to refuse.

"Master Zhuang is old, so I deserve a toast to Mr. Zhuang." Yuan Zhihao didn't seem to hear Zhuang Zhipeng's words. He picked up the wine with a sincere expression on his face, "Please, Mr. Zhuang."

Since Zhuang Zhipeng came here, he naturally wouldn't be put on airs, he also picked up his wine glass with a busy smile, stood up and said, "Don't dare to propose a toast to the fifth master, but my humble servant toasts to the fifth master."

Yuan Zhihao is also not polite with Zhuang Zhipeng. Most of the time, this kind of superficial skill is just to cover people's eyes and ears, and it's fine to go through the motions.

The two tacitly agreed, looked at each other, raised their necks, drank the wine in their hands, smiled at each other, and sat down.

Zhuang Zhipeng was also not polite, and said straight to the point: "My minister is a rough person, if there is anything wrong, please ask Wu Ye to take more care of me."

Yuan Zhihao said with a smile: "Master Zhuang speaks directly and quickly, I admire it very much."

"In that case, then my minister..."

"My lord, between you and me, you don't have to be so polite, my humble minister, my humble minister, I'm horrified to hear it, just me..." Yuan Zhihao showed a self-mockery on his face, "It's not that my lord doesn't know me His identity and status are not as good as that of a son of a noble family! If this is the case, why put on an empty air to pretend to be a great god?! If the lord looks good, he is not as good as you and me, for everyone's convenience."

"Since the fifth master said so, then I will not be polite." Zhuang Zhipeng was kind.

"That's the best! I'm the most impatient with this kind of red tape." Yuan Zhihao smiled, "To put it bluntly, with my embarrassing status, if I want to pretend to be a master, I need someone to take care of me, right?" Yuan Zhihao In Hao's smile, there was a hint of bitterness, as well as a strong sense of self-mockery.

Zhuang Zhipeng reached out to pick up the teacup that was put aside, and sipped it slowly, as if he didn't hear Yuan Zhihao's words. He didn't come here today because he wanted to get involved in the fight between the princes.

Seeing that Zhuang Zhipeng didn't answer, Yuan Zhihao couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart, but his face didn't miss anything, and changed the subject: "I don't know if Sir Sir found here today, but what's the matter?"

"I belong to the kind of people who don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Zhuang Zhipeng smiled, "I heard from my subordinates today that Fifth Lord plans to return to Beijing alone. I wonder if this is true?"

Yuan Zhihao looked at Zhuang Zhipeng, saw him looking at him with a smile, his heart moved, he nodded and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I'm just angry that Jing'an Hou's mansion is deceiving too much, so I decided to go back to Beijing alone. , it is related to other people's reputation, so please forgive me for not talking about it."

Zhuang Zhipeng nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Fifth Master, Bailu City is about a month away from the capital, and along the way... If something happens, I can't bear it."

"..." Yuan Zhihao was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, you want me to go with the people from Jing'an Hou Mansion?" He never imagined that Zhuang Zhipeng came here just for such a thing.

"That's not necessary." Zhuang Zhipeng said lightly, "When Lord Wu plans to return to Beijing is a private matter of Lord Wu, and I have no room to comment."

"..." Yuan Zhihao looked at Zhuang Zhipeng and said nothing. Since Zhuang Zhipeng came over, he would speak up if he had something to say. If he was in a hurry, he would be at a disadvantage, so he brought a cup of tea and drank slowly. , silently.

For a moment, the room fell into a silence.

After a long time, Zhuang Zhipeng put down the teacup, looked at Yuan Zhihao, and laughed: "Fifth Master, although I am a rough person, I care about my life very much. If someone might threaten me, I will definitely kill him in front of him." In the bud."

Yuan Zhihao raised his eyebrows suddenly: "My lord, what do you say?"

"I won't be beating around the bush anymore." Zhuang Zhipeng raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhihao, "If Lord Wu returns to Beijing alone, his safety on the road will become a problem, but if Lord Wu wants to return to Beijing, I can't stop him. That becomes a dilemma."

As Zhuang Zhipeng said, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared: "I thought about it, so I took the liberty to come here and look for Fifth Master, please don't blame Fifth Master."

"Then according to the meaning of the Lord?" Yuan Zhihao showed interest in his eyes.

"Either Fifth Master believes in me and returns to Beijing with my guards, wait for the guards to send Fifth Master to the capital safely, reward them with a few travel expenses, and then let them come back, or Fifth Master writes a note to me as a proof , I once wanted to send guards to send Wuye to Beijing, but Wuye himself refused. It is unnecessary. In this way, if there is any accident on the way, it has nothing to do with me. Wuye, look, you can do this. Make it?" Zhuang Zhipeng said, slowly turning the tea cup in his hand, staring at the tea cup with both eyes, as if what he said had nothing to do with him at all.

After Yuan Zhihao heard this, he quickly pondered in his heart, what exactly did Zhuang Zhipeng intend to do with such a move today?

He and the fourth brother came to this White Deer City, originally in low clothes, but they didn't want to hide it from anyone. Among the many officials in Bailu City, Zhuang Zhipeng was the only one who pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't care about him and the fourth child at all. In his eyes, the quarrel with the fourth child was even more incompatible!
Although he took the opportunity to help Zhuang Jingyi a few favors, he used Brother Qian's name, and according to Zhuang Zhipeng's temperament, even if he found out, he would pretend not to know, but today he found such an excuse to find his Come on, is it really just for his safety? !

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhihao had doubts in his eyes: "My lord, you are..."

Zhuang Zhipeng said with a smile: "The officials have entrusted the safety of Daqi's southern border to my hands. If the fifth master returns from southern border, if there is any accident on the way, it will appear that I, Zhuang Zhipeng, are incompetent?! So, fifth master, don't worry too much." .”

Although Yuan Zhihao looked at Zhuang Zhipeng with gratitude and emotion in his eyes, he was even more suspicious in his heart. Could it be that there were no hidden meanings? !How is this possible?

"It seems that the fifth master doesn't believe me." Zhuang Zhipeng stood up as he spoke, with a look of anger on his face, "Could it be that I am such a despicable villain in the fifth master's heart?!"
