A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 718

Xia Shi looked at the gorgeous clouds in the sky outside the door, and the brilliance in his eyes gleamed.

Maybe Xia herself didn't expect that she could wait for someone so patiently, and could wait forever.

The attendant who was in charge of picking her up sent her here, sent her a letter back to Prince Yinwu's mansion, and then came back here again, running back and forth three times, but there was no movement from his master.

It was only when the setting sun completely sank below the western skyline that this brilliantly illuminated world became silent little by little.

In the neighborhood streets, lights were quietly lit.

In the blue sky, the clouds have faded, and the sparse star cage has always dimmed a little bit.

Xia Shi finally asked the attendants, "When will he come?"

The attendant was also a little anxious, and said: "Madam, I'm sorry, but I don't know. When the master ordered the subordinates to pick up the wife, the master was also preparing to go out. The hour should have arrived by now, maybe something went wrong on the way."

The attendant was about to tell Mrs. Xia that he wanted to go back and take a look, but he didn't want Mrs. Xia to speak first, so he worriedly said: "Then go back and have a look first, in case something important happens."

The attendant was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Shi.

Xia said again: "It doesn't matter to me, just wait here for a while. You go quickly."

The attendant said: "Well, I will go back first. Thank you Madam for your understanding." He took a few steps outside, paused, then turned around and said respectfully, "If Madam is hungry, you can go to the front and ask the old man for some tea, fruits and meals. .”

Xia Shi nodded and said, "I understand."

The attendant quickly walked out of Jing Yuan'er, and soon disappeared.

Shang Hou took a shower, changed his clothes, and was busy redeploying the spies here, without taking a breath.

It was getting dark outside, and the servants in the private house were preparing dinner.

Sitting in the hall, Li Guohuang was busy talking to Shang Hou on the road before, but now that Shang Hou is away, he just remembered that he can't go to Jingyuan now, but the attendants he sent to pick up Mrs. Xia have not been seen yet. He doesn't know whether he received the message or not.

After all, the Xia family broke the appointment the previous two times. Although he used the name of Marquis of Shang this time, he expressed it in a cryptic manner. I don't know if she could see it.

If she really came to the appointment this time, wouldn't it be great to wait there all the time.

Li Guohuang planned to send another attendant to Jingyuan to confirm, but remembering what Shanghou said earlier, he waited patiently for a while, and sent someone to urge Shanghou.

Because Marquis Shang took a shower in the backyard and washed up, he arranged things in the study directly after washing, and didn't go to the front hall for a while.

Li Guohuang's people came to call him, and he strode to the hall.

As soon as Li Guohuang saw him, he said impatiently: "You are a big man, why do you have to grind for so long? Let me ask you, you said Jingyuan was being targeted. Whose person is it? Is it King Wu of Yin? "

Shanghou nodded and said, "No accident, it's his."

Li Guohuang said: "Then my people can no longer enter and leave that place, but you have to send someone to look over there anyway."

Only then did Shanghou realize that there was something wrong with Li Guohuang's expression: "What's wrong?"

Li Guohuang said: "The person I sent to pick her up hasn't returned yet, maybe..."

Just as he was saying this, the servant who had been sent out finally made a detour and found this place smoothly.

As soon as the attendant entered the door and saw Li Guohuang and Shanghou together, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Li Guohuang asked him what was going on, the attendant replied: "Mrs. Xia was worried that something happened to the master, so she asked her subordinates to come back quickly to have a look. Mrs. Xia...she is still in Jingyuan right now."

Shanghou's expression changed, and Li Guohuang met his eyes, and he didn't hide it anymore, and said in a anxious but direct tone: "She is not worried about me, I am afraid it is you. I made an appointment with her today in your name , I asked her to see it."

As soon as Shang Hou entered the city today, he received the news that Li Guohuang was going to Jingyuan, so he rushed there without stopping, intercepting people halfway before Li Guohuang arrived.

Otherwise, if Li Guohuang really went to that place, it would be very likely to be exposed to the eyes of other spies.

It's just that the Marquis of Shang was mainly concerned with stopping Li Guohuang, and he didn't care about other things for the time being, but he didn't know that when Li Guohuang went out, he had already sent someone to pick up Xia Shi.

Shang Hou said: "My lord, rest first, and leave the rest to me."

Li Guohuang said: "Aside from you, who else can I trust? Go quickly, and I must send her back safely."

He also couldn't blame Shang Hou, although Shang Hou stopped him halfway, so he didn't go to the appointment on time, but Shang Hou was also thinking about his safety.

Marquis Shang didn't delay, and immediately took Ashuo to the gate of the house.

As soon as he left the gate of his private house, Marquis Shang told A Shuo: "You go to Yinwu Prince's Mansion immediately. Madam Xia hasn't come back at this time, I'm afraid the palace is going to be in a hurry, you tell the princess, and I will send Madam Xia safely to the palace in a while. back."

A Shuo couldn't help worrying, and said: "This time, Lord Hou's whereabouts will be exposed to King Yin Wu."

Shang Hou said: "How long can you hide it from him? Is it plausible to leave Mrs. Xia there alone now?"

Even if Xia family is safe in Jingyuan now, if she doesn't go back at night, the spies of Prince Yinwu's mansion know Jingyuan's location, and they will be able to find her sooner or later, there will be no danger; but with him, since this incident happened If you want to, you have to have a beginning and an end.

Not to mention that Li Guohuang ordered him to send her back safely, he himself would not leave her there alone, that was not something he could do.

Two horses were prepared in front of the door, and the Marquis of Shang quickly walked down the steps in front of the door, led one of them, and said: "This time, I will definitely have some contact with Mrs. Xia. Others come."

This other man was undoubtedly their sovereign.

A Shuo understood that the Marquis of Shang was using himself to divert the attention of King Wu of Yin, so that the possibility of discovering their monarch would be small.

Otherwise, the private salt case is now over, and when King Wu of Yin recovers, he will find out soon.

A Shuo said: "In case King Wu of Yin is unfavorable to Lord Hou..."

Marquis Shang got on his horse and said, "He won't be so overwhelmed. If he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago."

If he is really excluded, it will not be good for King Yin Wu himself, and the future situation of King Yin Wu will not be very optimistic.

Powerful opponents not only need to fear each other, but also check and balance each other.This is something we all know well.

This is also the reason why the two of them did not fight at the end of the Langguo last time, and the reason why Yin Heng's people had discovered Liguo's stronghold here earlier but there was no movement at all.

A Shuo said no more, and immediately got on his horse and parted ways with the Marquis of Shang.

Without any suspense, Marquis Shang rushed to Jingyuan on horseback, while Ashuo followed orders and rushed to Prince Yinwu's mansion.

It was already past dinner time in the palace, and the Xia family has not come back yet.

Meng Yan counted the time, and when the two hours were up, it was completely dark outside.

Meng Yan was about to go out when Ah Shuo came, and he came just in time.
