Young man, please stay

Chapter 165 True and False

After eating a small pot of pickles and rolled tofu, at least the body can be warm for a while, but some people's stomachs are still hungry, and some people's mouths are also hungry.

It was not until the Dabian stove was finally served that Qin Lang and his party were finally satisfied with their meal and were about to go home when there was a knock on the door outside the private room.

dong dong dong-

"?"

The knock on the door was very light, which was too respectful for ordinary guests. The waiter at the Lion House was not like this, so Qin Lang frowned:

"Who?"

"Young Master Qin, we were sent by Mr. Huang, the prefect of Yangzhou. When you returned from the capital, you learned about the amazing performance of Mr. Young Hero in the Heaven and Earth Arena. He cherished your talents and ordered me to invite Mr. Qin to go to the government office to have a talk."

Yangzhou prefect?

For some reason, Qin Lang instinctively felt something wrong when he heard the word "prefect".

"come in."

Qin Lang responded, opened the door, and four young men walked in. Qin Lang was suddenly surprised.

Because although these four people look young, it can be judged from their almost silent footsteps that they are not weak in martial arts, and they are all outstanding talents in martial arts.

"Young hero Qin Lang."

One of them clasped his fists and nodded:

"Master Huang has been interested in inviting the young hero to be a guest since he heard the name of the young hero. I hope the young hero will agree."

"..."

Qin Lang did not reply, but exchanged glances with the girls.

The few people who came in also took this time to look at the other people on the table, and they were horrified to find that in addition to a girl in black and an innocent little girl with her back turned, there was another person in a red dress. The woman's face is so difficult to see clearly.

They discovered that even though there was no cover like a face mask, when they wanted to look at this woman, it was as if there was an intangible layer of fog in front of them, or they could not remember her face at all.

This strange situation immediately made several people realize that this Qin Lang was not only a tough man himself, but he was also accompanied by an expert.

"Master Huang, why do you invite me at this time?"

Qin Lang suddenly spoke, and the other party immediately replied:

"Master Huang originally wanted to invite the young hero to have lunch with him, but it happened that the young hero was already having lunch and we couldn't disturb him, so we waited until now to come and invite him."

"That is to say."

Qin Lang looked down at the table and took a sip of tea:

"Master Huang is sending you to follow me?"

"this…"

The four visitors looked at each other, a little embarrassed. Just as they were thinking about how to explain, Qin Lang waved his hand directly:

"I understand, please lead the way."

"Yes, young hero please!"

"Qin Lang..."

Gu Jin pulled her boyfriend's hand with a worried look on her face. After all, the arrival was so sudden. Who knew what was going on with the prefect who asked people to follow Qin Lang.

However, Qin Lang understands that if the other party is really the magistrate of Yangzhou, then if he refuses, he will only attract more invitations. It will be annoying, so he might as well meet in person and explain what he wants to say clearly at once. Good.

So, after quietly comforting Miss Jin, Qin Lang followed the four of them.

Su Yupan and Zhuo Beibei obviously had the same idea as Qin Lang, so they didn't say much at all.

It was even said that Su Yupan, who had long noticed that people around the Lion Tower were being targeted, deliberately did not hide the aura of the group, nor did he release any pressure, just to see who was sneaking around.

"It turns out to be the governor of Yangzhou. It seems that the person who secretly followed me after the ring is one of his people."

Su Yupan murmured to himself, recalling Magistrate Huang in his mind. He remembered that he was an official with relatively mediocre political achievements but a pretty good reputation.

"Hmph, what good person can be found who likes to play stalker?"

Zhuo Beibei held his cheek with one hand and fished randomly in the copper stove with chopsticks with the other hand: "This person named Huang must not be a good official. How can he not care about the emperor?"

"Managing people based on your imagination? Being an emperor is not like playing house..."

"Really? Anyway, I feel pretty much the same."

"..."

Su Yupan didn't talk to Zhuo Beibei about this, because she knew it wouldn't make sense. After all, Zhuo Beibei had given up on the Tianhe Sect he founded.

"But this Huang Youwan is a little strange. Although they say he loves talents, I always feel... is he loving a little too much?"

As Zhuo Beibei said, sending people to follow others is not a good thing.

In addition, Qin Lang once said that he met a beggar who blocked the road with good martial arts. The identity tag he dropped had the word "Juxian" written on it, and it happened that the "Juxian Pavilion" in Yangzhou was also divided into Within the yamen boundary.

Originally, Su Yupan didn't think much about it when he learned about it, but now the Yangzhou prefect sent people to follow Qin Lang. The two things put together make it appear that this prefect is a little weird.

At least for now, it seems that Huang Wanyou, who does not have a high presence in the court, is not well-established in Su Yupan's heart.

The status of a fourth-rank official in the imperial court did not sit well with the emperor. This matter was both small and big.

So, the more Su Yupan thought about it, he simply closed his eyes for some reason. When he opened them after a while, his apricot eyes suddenly became more dignified and awe-inspiring.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Zhuo Beibei, who had just said he was full, now ordered another plate of mushrooms and a thousand pieces of shredded silk. He ate it with chopsticks, his cheeks bulging, and he blinked his big eyes and looked at Su Yupan curiously:

"I've been having so much fun these days. It's really rare to see you look like this."

"joyous…?"

The empress was startled:

"What makes you happy?"

"There's none?"

Zhuo Beibei stared at her with neither joy nor sorrow:

"Aren't you happy to be in Qin Lang's arms here and there every day?"

"How can I not!"

"No, no, why are you blushing?"

"I…"

"Humph…"

"..."

Zhuo Beibei snorted coldly, and Su Yupan, who heard an inexplicable sour smell, opened his mouth. Although he frowned and stopped talking, the faint blush on her pretty face still made her look like a good empress. She was like a cardamom girl whose love affair was exposed, which made the girl beside her, Gu Jin, look stunned.

Is this...really the Holy One?

They had not noticed it all the time they were together, but now after hearing what the Tianhe Sect Master said, Gu Jin also felt that Her Majesty the Empress had changed more and more since she came to Yangzhou Mansion.

Especially the so-called "joy", when Gu Jin thought about it carefully, when the emperor was with her boyfriend, everything seemed to be getting more and more...

As she thought about it, the girl pursed her lips and gradually became a little depressed.

It wasn't until he returned to the inn that Su Yupan noticed something strange about the girl.

"Jin'er, what's on your mind?"

"..."

It's okay not to ask. Some things, especially those about feelings and first love, often make you feel aggrieved and sad the more you are asked about them.

The same was true for Gu Jin. When the empress asked her, she looked aggrieved, like a newlywed resentful woman. Su Yupan even found it funny. He pressed her several times before Gu Jin got the courage. Courage murmured:

"I just don't know if Madam still remembers that she said she wanted to investigate Qin Lang, so she pretended to be Madam..."

"This...yes..."

"But Jin'er feels that Madam seems to be acting more and more real lately..."

"..."
