Jiang Suiyun saw that Dou Lianzhong was very passive, so he sneered and said lightly: "You are so clever, are you trying to protect them?"
"Shut up!" Yang Ning immediately looked at Jiang Suiyun and sneered: "It's you, Jiang Suiyun, you are so bold that you dare not kneel down when you see me. Do you want to rebel?"
"I...!" Jiang Suiyun looked surprised, "Why should I kneel to you?"
Duan Canghai, who had been keeping calm all this time, finally took two steps forward and said calmly: "As a commoner, how dare you not kneel down when you see the Marquis in Jinyi?"
Jiang Suiyun was startled. Ding Yitu, the chief escort of the Rising Sun Escort Agency, never came over. He was just sitting at the table with a glass of wine. Hearing Duan Canghai's words, his hands trembled slightly and he turned to look over. His eyes became extremely sharp. .
Zhu Yuchen and others were involved in the fight. After knowing Dou Lianzhong's identity, they were all devastated. Yang Ning stepped forward to reprimand Dou Lianzhong, and several people were even more frightened, thinking that this man was too audacious.
At this time, they suddenly heard Duan Canghai mention the words "Jinyi Hou Ye", and several people couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yang Ning, and they all looked horrified.
The reputation of Jinyihou is well known all over the world. Both generations of Jinyihou were pillars of the army of the Chu Kingdom, and they were also famous generals who served the country loyally. How could they have imagined that this young man, who is not very conspicuous in appearance? , turned out to be Jin Yihou.
Jiang Suiyun's lips moved, and Duan Canghai shouted sternly: "Are you going to rebel?"
Although Jiang Suiyun's family is the richest in the world, they are just a commoner after all. When Duan Canghai shouted, he frowned slightly, but did not kneel down. He just said lightly: "Although I am a commoner, I have been praised as a virtuous person. So there is no need to kneel down to the Marquis just yet."
Yang Ning was stunned. He didn't understand what it meant to be a virtuous person. He didn't know how to ask more questions at this time. He looked at Dou Lianzhong and said, "Mr. Dou, are you also being promoted to a virtuous person?"
Dou Lian's loyalty is not good.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He is very majestic. When he walks in front of others, few people dare to be rude to him. But when it comes to talking about it, he is just the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He has no official status and has not been recognized. In terms of virtue, not long ago, Yang Ning was just the prince of Jinyi, so that was fine. But today, Yang Ning has become the prince of Jinyi, and their identities are completely different.
At this time, Yang Ning obviously wanted him to kneel down and salute. According to the etiquette of Da Chu, Dou Lianzhong could not refuse.
But in front of everyone, how could Dou Lianzhong be willing to kneel down to Yang Ning
At this moment, a hearty laugh was heard, and a gentle voice said: "Qining, we are all our own people, just make a joke, don't hurt the harmony."
Everyone looked at the sound and saw a person slowly walking over with his hands behind his back. It was the child who was standing by the side of the ship before.
When Yang Ning heard this person's voice, he knew that he was wrong.
I saw this person from behind just now. He was as tall as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. Now I heard his voice, although it was clear and clear, was definitely not that of a ten-year-old child.
This man is not tall, but he is not as short as a dwarf. When he walks, he has an air of elegance.
Hearing the man's voice, Dou Lianzhong seemed to be relieved, turned around and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty!"
The man had already walked to the table. Ding Yitu, who was sitting on the table, also stood up and looked very respectful. However, he saw that the man had jumped on the chair and actually squatted on the chair. He waved to this side and said with a smile: "Qining, come and sit for a while." He added, "You may not know me yet, my name is Xiao Shaozong!"
But they only saw Duan Canghai and Yuan Rong cupping their hands almost at the same time and saying, "I have met His Highness, the Crown Prince!" Duan Canghai turned to Yang Ning and said, "Master Hou, this is the Crown Prince of Huainan!"
This time it was a big surprise for Yang Ning.
When he was at Daguangming Temple, he heard a little bit about Prince Huainan from Mabi. According to Mabi, Prince Huainan was a kind man, but there was a strange thing about him. He was said to be a ghost. Possessed, attacks often, crazy and crazy, once the attack occurs, the relatives will not recognize each other.
But at this moment, the Prince of Huainan looked really gentle and elegant.
Yang Ning hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over, cupped her hands and said, "I've met the Crown Prince!"
Although he is a Marquis of Jinyi and has a higher title than Xiao Shaozong, Xiao Shaozong is a true relative of the emperor and has the blood of the royal family flowing through him. Such bloodline is not judged by title.
Xiao Shaozong squatted on the chair in a strange posture, raised his hands and said: "Sit down and talk!"
Yang Ning thought for a moment and sat down opposite Xiao Shaozong.
Zhu Yuchen and others were just trying to calm down at this time, but they were all shocked. They did not expect that the Marquis of Jinyi had been following them, let alone that the Prince of Huainan would be on this boat.
"I'm not in good health." Xiao Shaozong reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table and peeled them while saying: "My father rarely lets me go out, and I don't like going out, so I often stay in the palace and rarely go out. He turned to look at Dou Lianzhong and said with a smile: "Lian Zhong had good intentions and asked me to come out to relax today. It just so happened that Suiyun also came from the East China Sea. When I was young, I went to the East China Sea with my father, and I knew Suiyun at that time. This time Suiyun came here, it was like meeting old friends again."
Yang Ning just smiled. He suddenly discovered that when Xiao Shaozong spoke, his speed was neither fast nor slow, his rhythm was well controlled, and his tone was gentle, which made people feel very comfortable. Moreover, when he spoke, he had a light expression on his face. Smile, that kind of smile always makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
"Jealousy is a common thing on the Qinhuai River." Xiao Shaozong smiled and said: "Lian Zhong and the others brought Zhu Yuchen and others here because they were jealous. People are arrogant and always worry about others stepping on them to gain the limelight. These things , I have no interest in taking care of it."
Yang Ning said with a smile: "That's what the prince said. There is no harm in being jealous, but if you take advantage of the situation to pressure others, it would be too much. On the Qinhuai River, the choice of the queen is based on financial resources. If you lead someone to threaten revenge like this, There is no need to hold the Qinhuai Queen Selection, just let whoever has more people and higher status make the decision."
"Hahaha...!" Xiao Shaozong laughed heartily and said: "The people of the Qi family of Jinyihou are upright and straightforward. This is the family tradition of your Qi family." He turned to look at Dou Lianzhong and said: "Lian Zhong, did you hear that? "
Dou Lianzhong was in awe of Xiao Shaozong and said, "Lian Zhong heard it!"
"Marquis Jin Yi is right. There are rules for everything. There will be no martial arts competition or essay writing today. The competition will be about who is willing to pay for the money." Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: "This matter ends here. Don't upset everyone because of today's incident." I’m not even feeling comfortable.” He raised his hand and said, “Give Zhu Yuchen and the others some wine!”
Soon, a maid came forward and gave Zhu Yuchen and others a glass of wine each. Yuan Rong and Duan Canghai also got a glass of wine.
Xiao Shaozong himself picked up the wine pot, asked someone to get a new wine glass, poured wine into the wine glass in front of Yang Ning, and poured it for himself. Then he raised his hand to raise his glass and said to Zhu Yuchen and others: "To the Qinhuai River, This is just to find happiness. Lian Zhong did something wrong. Although it was not my instigation, after all, I didn't stop him here. Just treat it as my fault. Come on, drink this cup to the full and the previous unhappiness will be wiped out."
Zhu Yuchen and others are not fools. Xiao Shaozong took the initiative to propose a toast, which was something he never dreamed of. It shows that Xiao Shaozong is indeed very generous, but several people also know that Xiao Shaozong must be doing this for Yang Ning's sake, otherwise Huainan would be dignified How could the prince propose a toast to several rich men
Several people admired Xiao Shaozong's magnanimity, but were also grateful for Yang Ning's protection. They all raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Yang Ningjian and Xiao Shaozong drank all the wine in one gulp, and then drank the wine in the cup as well.
Dou Lianzhong looked quite unwilling, but even Xiao Shaozong said so, he did not dare to say anything more.
Yang Ning put down the wine glass and turned to look at Ding Yitu beside him. He saw Ding Yitu standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes staring at him. He smiled slightly and asked, "What is Mr. Ding looking at?" "
"I'm looking at Mr. Hou's appearance." Ding Yitu smiled slightly.
"Oh?" Yang Ning smiled and said, "How do I look?"
Ding Yitu smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. The Marquis doesn't know something. Ding once served as a soldier under the general, served the court and fought on the battlefield. He has always been grateful to the general. Although the general passed away, he still His voice and smile will always be remembered by Ding.”
"Are you trying to find the shadow of my father in me?"
Ding Yitu sighed: "Master Hou, I dare not say it directly."
"Oh?" Yang Ning smiled indifferently, "Is there anything that Mr. Ding, the escort, doesn't dare to say?"
Ding Yitu said: "Master Hou is joking. Ding is just a dart boy. He is one part running errands and nine parts cautious. He dare not say too much."
Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: "Ding Yitu, don't be too tight-lipped. Just say what you have to say. Even if you say something wrong, will Jin Yihou still argue with you?"
Ding Yitu finally said: "Master Hou, please forgive me, in fact, Ding can't see the slightest shadow of a general in Master Hou."
Yang Ning's heart was agitated, but she looked calm and said with a smile: "What do you mean by this?"
Ding Yitu said: "The appearance of the Marquis should be more similar to that of the general's wife."
"By saying this, Mr. Ding, Escort Officer, do you want to say that you know our Jinyihou Mansion very well?" Yang Ning said lightly: " Mr. Ding, Mr. Escort, there is actually one thing that I really want to ask you for advice."
"Don't take it for granted!" Ding Yitu said, "If the Marquis has any instructions, just tell them."
Yang Ning stared at Ding Yitu and asked, "There is a policeman named Xiao Yishui in Huize County. He says he has a good relationship with Mr. Ding's bodyguard. Is that true or not?"
When he asked the question, he did not blink. He saw a look of surprise in Ding Yitu's eyes. The look flashed past and disappeared instantly, but in the end, it was not hidden from Yang Ning's eyes.
At this time, Yang Ning has concluded that the Rising Sun Escort Agency is one of the culprits in human trafficking in Huize County.
