Everyone was busy at the end of the year, including You Shu. He had almost no time to practice swordsmanship with Xiao Weixin. There were many social events at the end of the year, and all kinds of entertainment venues were bustling. It was also the best time for them to collect intelligence.
But at this moment, an unexpected person came to the door.
"Who are you talking about?" Xiao Weixin asked again while holding the book with a frown, and for a moment he thought he had heard it wrong.
Qi Han stood by and repeated in a low voice: "It is the Xirong hostage who is now outside the door shouting to see you."
Xiao Weixin almost thought that his ears were broken, or that Qi Han was blind. He had nothing to do with that barbarian hostage, and he could not imagine why he suddenly came to him.
After a little thought, Xiao Weixin asked Qi Han to bring the person in to see what he was going to do.
Qi Han quickly turned around and ran to call for help. Otherwise, if the hostage continued to make a scene outside the door, Prince Ling's Mansion would become a laughing stock in the entire capital the next day.
Soon the man was brought to the front hall. Xiao Weixin sat in the living room drinking tea, but in his mind he was quickly thinking about the purpose of Su Tu's visit. According to Xie Feiyuan's information, Su Tu's life in the capital was not too difficult recently. Xiao Weishen couldn't do anything to him. There was no point in killing him, but not killing him would also be annoying. He might as well just leave him there to eat and drink as long as he didn't starve to death. As long as he didn't cause any big trouble, he would basically let him go.
And Su Tu seemed to be a man of courage but no strategy, with the savagery and rudeness of the people from Western Rong, acting impulsively, rudely and brainlessly. Even though he was a hostage, he still caused trouble. Occasionally, officials would report his bad behavior to him, but Xiao Weishen would ignore them, probably still hoping to get some benefits from Western Rong.
He seemed to be unaware of the news that the King of Xirong was critically ill. The Third Prince of Xirong kept it a secret because he was afraid that the Emperor of the Central Plains would find out and take the opportunity to start a rebellion. Xiao Weixin kept filtering the news quickly, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Nasutu's intention was in finding him.
After a while, Su Tu arrived.
He was nearly two meters tall, and looked quite large just standing in the front hall. He could touch the roof with just two jumps. He was full of wild and aggressive power, and he could bring pressure to people even without speaking.
Xiao Weixin looked at him secretly for a while, then slowly put down the teacup and said, "Sit down."
While he was looking at Na Su Tu, Na Su Tu's eyes were also looking at him, openly and without concealing himself, causing Qi Han to scold him for being rude. But Na Su Tu was not afraid, still smiling leisurely, casually picked a seat and sat down, crossing his legs and looking as leisurely as if he was at home.
"Thank you for helping me last time on the street." Su Tu's official language was still not very good, but at least people could understand what he meant. "People in the Central Plains say that a life-saving favor... How do you say it? To repay it with your body?"
Qi Han's face turned green, and he cursed: "How dare you! You wish!"
Xiao Weixin frowned and told him to shut up, then turned to Na Sutu who was looking at him teasingly. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what this man meant. "That time, it was just a casual move by the king to prevent you from causing trouble outside and upsetting my brother. It can't really be called a life-saving favor."
"Don't mention it again, Your Highness."
He looked sick and gentle, and seemed to have no energy to deal with Nasutu. Nasutu smiled and said, "That won't do. Although your Highness said it was unintentional, we Xirong also have our own rules. You helped me a lot, but I can't forget it."
"You, the Central Plains, claim to be a land of great propriety and rich resources. Since I am here, I should follow your actions. It is reasonable for me to pledge my love to you."
Now not only Qi Han's face turned green, but Xiao Weixin's face also looked ugly.
Are there any men who are eager to become someone's concubine
"Asshole!" Xiao Weixin said angrily, "I said don't mention it anymore, so I won't mention it anymore! If you dare to say another word, I'll pull out your tongue!"
Na Sutu was not frightened by his threat, and had a wicked smile on his face. "Na Sutu can barely be considered a warrior in Xirong. The girls pursuing me line up from here to outside the city. I think I am not bad looking, too. Why does Your Majesty look as if he has suffered a loss?"
"Your Highness is a beautiful and charming man, and he is a perfect match for me." The more Su Tu spoke, the more confused he became, and he even became serious: "Why don't I go talk to your Emperor of Central Plains and ask him to grant you to me as his princess? Maybe I can go back and ask my father for some benefits."
"Your Highness, do you think that the Emperor of the Central Plains would agree?"
Xiao Weixin would not easily get angry in front of outsiders, but he was indeed very angry with this barbarian. He picked up the teacup and threw it at him: "Get lost!"
He hated it most when people talked about his appearance all his life. Who the hell does this barbarian think he is, to be so rude!
Su Tu raised his hand to catch the flying teacup. His handsome face still had a nonchalant smile, but his eyes were somewhat deep: "Alas, the prince is so ruthless."
"Well, since the prince is unwilling, I will settle for the next best thing. How about...give me the beautiful guard beside you? That will be appropriate, right?"
Xiao Weixin finally understood why this bastard had made this special trip. It turned out that teasing him was just a cover, and the one he really had his eyes on was that little shadow guard!
When Xiao Weixin thought about the big trouble You Shu had gotten into, he was so angry that he wanted to drag him over and beat him up.
"Is it just a guard? Is he worthy of your highness's concern?" Xiao Weixin looked at him coldly. "But even if he is just a guard, he is still mine. He has nothing to do with you. Don't even think about taking him away."
"Your Highness, please go back."
Su Tu probably expected this outcome, and pretended to be sad, holding his chest and sighing: "You people in the Central Plains are so petty, you don't have the demeanor of a great country at all."
Xiao Weixin was too lazy to deal with him, so he stood up and walked inside, asking Qi Han to see him off.
Qi Han blocked Su Tu's aggressive gaze with a cold face, frowned and told him to go away.
Su Tu sat on the chair, stroking his chin, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked at Qi Han's face for a long while before saying, "We are both guards, but you don't look cute at all."
Qi Han:
What does it have to do with you whether I’m cute or not
Su Tu stood up from his chair and very obscenely put the teacup that Xiao Weixin had just thrown into his arms. Qi Han came up and tried to snatch it: "That's something from our palace! How dare you take it without permission!?"
"Hey, lend it to me for fun. I'm short of money." Su Tu smiled and dodged Qi Han's attack. He was very agile. "I'll take it back so I can remember him."
Talk about the act of stealing openly.
Qi Han was surprised at his skills. Na Su Tu dodged several fierce attacks. Na Su Tu walked towards the door calmly. Qi Han chased him all the way to the direction of the palace gate. Just as he was about to ask someone to stop him, Na Su Tu suddenly turned around and slapped him in the chest.
Qi Han felt a sharp pain in his chest. He took two steps back and spat out a mouthful of thick blood. His internal organs were cramping in pain.
The smile on Su Tu's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were somewhat cold: "No need to send me off. Let me tell you, my Lord, people cannot hide, I can always catch them."
"thanks for treatment."
After saying that, Su Tu swaggered out of the palace gate. No one could stop him. Qi Han stared blankly at the direction he left. Then he realized that they had all underestimated this hostage. It turned out that the title of the first warrior of Xirong was not earned for nothing.
Xiao Weixin was reading in the study. After listening to Hua Chun's report, he frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Yes. I just checked Qi Han's wound. If the palm force was a little stronger, his heart meridian would be broken. This man's power is very profound." Hua Chun said carefully, "Your Highness, try not to have a direct conflict with him."
Xiao Weixin had a thoughtful look on his face. In their quick encounter just now, he had thought that Su Tu was rude and reckless, but now that he had injured Qi Han but not killed him, it seemed like he was trying to intimidate him.
It seems that there is something wrong with the information about Su Tu. He is definitely not just a brave but unpopular abandoned child.
On the other side, Na Su Tu walked out of the palace in a lazy manner for a few steps, turned into an empty alley and stood still. He took out the jade cup from his arms and played with it for a long time, but threw it into the corner without any reluctance. The cynical smile on his face was gone, and only indifference remained in his eyes.
Xiao Weixin is indeed not someone who can be easily fooled. It may not be easy to cooperate with him. It seems that we should take a long-term view.
He leaned against the wall and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered the guard he met on the street that day and sighed deeply.
It was such a pity that I didn't see that beauty today. Xiao Weixin didn't know where she was hidden. He went there specially but couldn't find her. He had been dreaming about her every night recently. It was useless no matter how powerful that thing was.
Tsk, after the deed is done, I must tie her up and take her back. She has long legs and a thin waist, and looks like she is good at bearing children. She is the best candidate for the queen.
———
At this moment, You Shu, who was "long-legged, thin-waisted and good at giving birth", kept sneezing on the way back home. Ying Er came over worriedly and asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
You Shu shook his head, "Probably not."
Ying Er was a worrier at ordinary times, and he was still worried after hearing that. He looked at the sky and said, "Let's hurry up and let Ying Shi take over your shift tonight. You go and rest first."
In fact, You Shuzhen didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The two of them entered the palace through the side door. Before they had taken two steps, they saw Wang Chen coming over and staring at him with a bad face: "Hey, the prince is looking for you!"
You Shu: “???”
Looking for him
Ying Er's expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty is looking for Ying San? What's the matter?"
"How should I know?" Wang Chen rolled his eyes and spoke in a bad tone. The prince had been looking down on him recently, so he also looked down on Ying San. "Go quickly, or the prince will whip you!"
You Shu scratched his head, turned around and said a few words to Ying Er before leaving. He was also confused as to what they could ask him for, it couldn't be that they were going to compete after dark, right
Besides, he had just come back from the brothel and hadn’t had time to wash yet.
Xiao Weixin looked up and saw You Shu being brought in. He looked at the calm man with a cold face. Just as he was about to speak, he smelled the strong smell of powder on him. He frowned and said coldly: "How dare you fool around in a brothel!?"
You Shu felt that these words sounded strange and incongruous.
"In reply to your Highness, I only went to Nong Yue Pavilion to gather intelligence, not to hang out."
Xiao Weixin also knew that the shadow guard would not go out for entertainment without permission, but he just inexplicably disliked You Shu at this moment, and he became even angrier when he thought of Su Tu.
"You are really capable! You even caused Su Tu to come to me in person to ask for me! Do you think you can become a princess right away?"
You Shu: “???”
