Chapter 330 People Not on the List

When Si Jingzhe returned to the inn, seeing that there were no candle lights in the room, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, the elder brother probably hasn't come back yet.

Si Jingzhe pushed open the door and walked in tiptoely, someone suddenly spoke in the dark room: "If you don't stay in the room so late, where did you go?"

The sudden sound startled Si Jingzhe, and Si Jianzhou lit up the candles in the room with a wave of his big hand. The lights were bright all of a sudden, but Si Jingzhe was not used to it, so he had to raise his hand to cover his eyes.

"Brother." Si Jingzhe secretly thought that something was wrong, and he didn't know if he bumped into some god today, how could he be so unlucky that he was bumped into by the big brother.

Si Jianzhou's slender fingers gently tapped the tabletop, and the sound seemed to hit Si Jingzhe's heart, making him flustered.

"Just tell me the truth, what good things can you do with night clothes in the middle of the night?"

Si Jianzhou's incomparably sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Si Jingzhe, Si Jingzhe tightly closed his lips, not saying anything, even if he was beaten to death.

This brat dared to play with himself, Si Jianzhou said lightly: "Since Jingzhe is unwilling to speak, why don't you let me guess, see if the moonlight is so good tonight, will you go out?" Are you enjoying the moon?"

Si Jingzhe nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes, I just went out to enjoy the moon."

Si Jianzhou's eyes were serious, and he glanced lightly in someone's direction, who immediately shrank his neck, not even daring to breathe.

"You also need to wear night clothes to watch the moon? I don't know when you developed this habit. Or did you not go out to watch the moon at all, but went to other places, such as Prince Rui's Mansion, huh?"

Si Jingzhe lowered his head helplessly, and that woman Ji Qingxue really caught her guess. As expected, she couldn't hide anything from her elder brother.

"Brother, I just went to have a look. I didn't do anything else." Si Jingzhe also tried to explain for himself, hoping that the elder brother could be punished lightly.

Si Jianzhou slapped the table fiercely: "Nonsense! I told you to stay in your own room. Where is it not good for you to go to Prince Rui's Mansion?"

Si Jingzhe is not afraid of everyone, but he is afraid that his elder brother will lose his temper. He quickly said: "Brother, I really didn't do anything. I just went to have a look, just want to know who can get the evaluation of elder brother. What is it like?"

"Then how did you prove it?" Si Jianzhou asked him unexpectedly.

Si Jingzhe stopped talking. Looking at him like this, he knew that he must have suffered a disadvantage in Prince Rui's residence, otherwise he would never have been so taciturn with his temperament.

"I told you not to listen, now that you have suffered a disadvantage, do you feel uncomfortable?"

His younger brother always does things according to his whim, so it's good to let him suffer a little bit, lest he stay like this all the time, and sooner or later he will suffer big losses if he can't learn to act prudently.

Si Jingzhe knew that he couldn't hide anything from him, so he sat down and said dejectedly: "Brother, that woman is really not simple. I was discovered not long after I arrived at the palace, and I accidentally broke into her room. And she saved me."

Si Jianzhou pondered: "She saved you?"

"Well, he said he was paying you back a favor."

Si Jianzhou knew that Ji Qingxue should have discovered Jing Zhe's identity so he didn't hand him over, so it seems that what he said to her during the day has had an effect.Although she didn't believe it all, she was somewhat on guard in her heart.

"And big brother, this woman is really powerful. She guessed that we are from Qi country just by the calluses on my index finger. How could she know? It's too hasty to rely on this characteristic alone."

Si Jianzhou shook his head helplessly: "Silly brother, this one feature is enough. The people of Qi are good at crossbows, and their index fingers are indeed stronger than ordinary people. And she probably didn't tell you that there is another reason."

"What?" Si Jingzhe didn't understand.

Si Jianzhou raised his finger and pointed at his night clothes: "The fabric of your night clothes can only be found in the country of Qi. Would she not know such an obvious thing?"

That's it, no wonder she keeps staring at her clothes.If it wasn't for the elder brother's suggestion, he would have thought that she had taken a fancy to the style of his night clothes.

"Then what should we do next?" Si Jingzhe had learned a lesson this time, and it might take a few days for him to live in peace.

Si Jianzhou just said flatly: "In a few days, it's time to officially meet with them."

Si Jianzhou had a look of anticipation in his eyes, Nangong Yanji Qingxue, I want to know how you guys will react when the time comes.

Five days later.

Nan Gongyan was ordered to receive the envoys of Qi State at the Four Seas Villa in the city, greet them and arrange the next itinerary for them.

"It seems that your emperor of Dayan really attaches great importance to this exchange between the two countries, and it is really an honor for us to send you, Prince Rui, to greet us in person." A certain official laughed loudly, "As early as Qi State At that time, we were already familiar with your name, Prince Rui, but seeing you today is really extraordinary."

Nan Gongyan replied indifferently: "The envoy is polite."

Nan Gongyan raised his wine glass and glanced at the officials present: "This king welcomes all the envoys on behalf of my father and the people of Dayan. I will finish this glass of wine first."

Everyone toasted and drank together. At this time, two people walked into the hall unhurriedly.

"Prince Rui, we meet again."

Nan Gongyan put down his wine glass, his expression slightly changed: "Who are you two?"

At this time, an official stood up suddenly and said: "Prince Rui, these two are also accompanying officials of our mission to Dayan, but they are not on the list."

"Oh? Really?" Nan Gongyan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that these two people really had a purpose, but they never thought that they were the envoys of Qi State.

"Please sit down, both of you. When you get here, it's like being at your own home. Don't be polite." Nan Gongyan signaled the servants next to him to pour wine for the two of them.

"This is the second time we've met, don't you know the names of the two Gaos?"

"Si Jianzhou, this is my younger brother Jing Zhe." Si Jianzhou replied indifferently, with a sense of nobility showing between his brows.

"See brother Zhou, come and drink for our fate."

Nan Gongyan's words clearly meant something, the envoys present couldn't understand, but Si Jianzhou was very clear.

Si Jianzhou raised his wine glass and faced him from a distance: "Then this glass is a toast to fate."

The two drank their drinks with their heads up, Nan Gongyan said to him very politely: "I don't know why this king always feels like old friends at the first sight, if you two have free time, go to my mansion and sit down, then we can have a drink to our heart's content Wouldn't it be nice to talk about this wonderful fate again?"

Si Jianzhou nodded: "Thank you, my lord, for your kind invitation, I have exactly the intention."
