Good luck today

Chapter 217 I want to confirm one thing first
The imperial guards quickly lined up to guard the carriage layer by layer.

The eunuch who passed the decree and Ye Li's bodyguard who were following the carriage obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to jump out to block the way at such a time.

The guard stared at the person blocking the way warily, and raised his hand to order the imperial guards to take that person down, but he saw that person took out a document from his sleeve with a smile.

"Please don't misunderstand, I have no malicious intentions."

The man spoke, and the clear male voice alone made people unconsciously relax their guard against him.

The guard and the eunuch passing the decree looked at each other, and secretly exchanged glances.

Neither of them opened their mouths, as they tacitly gave the man blocking the way a chance to explain.

Su Shixia in the carriage raised her eyebrows in doubt when she heard the man's voice.

This voice is very strange.She was basically sure that she had never heard this voice before, and she probably didn't know the person blocking the way.

Then... what exactly did he want to do when he stopped the carriage?
Little Qin Zhan nestled in Su Shixia's arms blankly, because he couldn't see the surrounding situation, he could only lean into Su Shixia's arms uneasily.

Su Shixia hugged little Qin Zhan's body tightly, moved a little towards the car window, raised his hand to lift the curtain, and was ready to take a good look at who was coming.

Before she could look over, the man had already opened his mouth.

"A few days ago, envoys from the Nanyue Kingdom came to the capital. You should all know that Pingxi Princess Su Shixia is a direct disciple of the Nanyue Kingdom's national teacher."

The man said: "Nanyue Guoshi is far away now, and he still has important matters to deal with, so he can't come in person. But he has already figured out that today, there will be some changes in Princess Pingxi's place, so he specifically entrusts me to come here." Take a walk in the capital and pass a message to Princess Pingxi for him."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed the document in his hand to the guard closest to him.

"This is the identity document stamped by the Nanyue State Teacher. It should be enough to prove my identity. If you are not at ease, you can take this document to the Nanyue State envoy to check it yourself. I am here Just wait."

After the imperial guards received the identity document, they immediately delivered the document to the eunuch who delivered the edict.

The eunuch who delivered the decree opened it and took a look, then nodded to Ye Li's guard, "This identity document should be real."

After the guard checked the document, he couldn't help frowning.

"Today we are sending young master Qin Zhan to Fahua Temple by order, and there should be no delay..."

The guard wanted to use time as an excuse to refuse, but the man blocking the way didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately emphasized: "I won't delay you for too long, I just want to say a few words to Princess Pingxi. A cup of tea is enough time."

The guard squeezed the identity document in his hand, squinted his eyes and examined the person blocking the way for a long time.

Seeing that the man always had a gentle expression and a smile on his lips, and his eyes were clear, and he didn't look away when he looked at him, without any sense of guilt, the guard hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

He raised his hand and gestured to the imperial guards, signaling them to step aside, and then said to the man blocking the way: "There is only time for a cup of tea, no delay."

"no problem."

The man saluted the guard with a smile, then strode calmly towards the carriage.

The man was standing in front of the carriage just now, and Su Shixia was still holding little Qin Zhan in her arms. Even though she had lifted the curtain to look outside, but because of the angle and the obstruction of the guards around the carriage , she has not been able to see clearly what the man looks like.

Hearing the man's footsteps stopping beside the carriage, Su Shixia hugged little Qin Zhan tightly, and looked at the door with a bit of guard.

She had been waiting for the man to open the car door and come in, but unexpectedly, after the man stopped beside the carriage, he raised his hand and knocked on the car door first.

"Wangfei, because of the special situation, I'm sorry to be rude. Dare I ask Wangfei, is it convenient for me to get in the car now?"

Pretty polite.

Su Shixia's eyes moved slightly, he only hesitated for a moment, and then responded loudly: "It's convenient, you just get in the car."

While saying this, Su Shixia had already secretly held the silver needle between her fingers, ready to deal with the attack at any time.

When he heard the man's voice before, Su Shixia guessed that a person with such a clear voice should not look bad.

But when the man opened the door to get in the car and saw his face clearly, Su Shixia still couldn't help feeling a little lost.

This man seemed to have rushed all the way here. Although he was dressed neatly, there was still some dust on the corners of his clothes.

He obviously looked like a man of travel and dust, but there was no trace of exhaustion on his face, his amber eyes were bright, and there seemed to be bright smiles on the corners of his brows and eyes.

The moment he pushed the door and entered, Su Shixia felt as if he saw the bright warm sun in the summer afternoon.

And...for some reason, the first time she saw him, Su Shixia felt an uncontrollable sense of intimacy in her heart.

It seemed that a subconscious reaction made her think that this man was trustworthy and dependable.

Weird.

Except for Xiao Qin Zhan, she has never felt such a family-like emotion towards other people.

"Although there is nothing wrong with what your master asked me to pass on to you, it is after all a matter between you and Master Ni, and it is not convenient for outsiders to hear it."

The man didn't see anyone else, and after greeting Su Shixia, he asked directly, "Do you mind if I close the door of the carriage?"

"You just close it."

Su Shixia knew that this person was concerned about her reputation, but in broad daylight, with so many eyes staring at her, she was not afraid of the slanting shadow, nor afraid of criticism from others.

With Su Shixia's permission, the man immediately raised his hand and closed the car door, and immediately took out a charm from his sleeve and pasted it on the car door.

Su Shixia recognized that it was a talisman to prevent eavesdropping and prying eyes, and looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "Is that talisman given to you by my master?"

"Yes."

The man nodded happily, "Du'an said, you are very suspicious, you said you would definitely doubt my identity, so you gave me this talisman, saying that you will believe that Duan and I are related when you see this talisman. Got it."

Indeed, Su Shixia was so familiar with the old Taoist priest Du'an that she could tell with just one glance at the rune that the old Taoist priest Du'an had written the rune himself.

"I believe you are not an enemy, what is your business with me, just tell me."

Su Shixia asked straight to the point, and the man didn't go around with her, and said directly: "Du'an counted that you and your son will be in trouble, and wants me to save you."

"However, if you want me to make a move, let me confirm one thing first."

The man's gaze was fixed on Su Shixia's body, with a complex and difficult emotion in his eyes.

"I heard that you are wearing an ancestral jade pendant, can you show me what the jade pendant looks like?"
