There was no warmth in Shen Xitang's voice. Just a moment ago, he was smiling gently at Jiang Xun, but in an instant he became cold and serious.
Su Xunzhan walked out tremblingly and said with some confidence, "It's me, I just happened to be passing by."
Shen Xitang looked at her with very cold eyes, and his eyes falling on her made her feel cold all over.
You can guess her identity just by looking at her face that is very similar to Jiang Xun, but Shen Xitang did not give her a good look, but said lightly: "Since you are still hiding in the dark and eavesdropping... What?"
"I...I didn't eavesdrop." Su Xun was extremely embarrassed, feeling ashamed of having been exposed.
Shen Xitang glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and looked away and ignored her.
In Su Xun's eyes, Shen Xitang was as cold as an orchid in an empty valley. He was just like the god described in the storybook. He was admired and worshiped. She didn't dare to approach him even if she was in love with him. But just now she saw him smiling at Jiang Xun. He was so gentle, and there was a hint of affection in his eyes, which really made her jealous and uncomfortable.
She stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay, but Jiang Xun and Shen Xitang ignored her.
Jiang Xun asked Shen Xitang, "Did you come to see me for anything today?"
Shen Xitang said softly: "I'm here to invite you to participate in the treasure fighting party."
Jiang Xun was slightly stunned and asked, "What kind of treasure fighting meeting?"
"It's a treasure fighting meeting held by the Qibao Club. The nobles in the capital will bring rare treasures to the meeting, and then they will appreciate and compete with each other. You may see many good things you have never seen before at the meeting. But the treasure fighting meeting Although it is called a treasure battle, it is actually a riddle battle. Treasures are used as a condition for participation. If you can get the first place in the riddle battle, the Qibao Society will give you three treasures as gifts." Shen Xitang said eloquently, Jiang Xun's interest was aroused.
"It seems very interesting." Jiang Xun said.
"How about taking you to play?" Shen Xitang said.
Jiang Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, okay, I want to take a look."
Shen Xitang was very satisfied with her unpretentious look, "Let's go, everything is ready and the carriage is waiting outside."
It seemed that Shen Xitang didn't think she would refuse at all, or even if she refused, he would have a way to make her agree.
Jiang Xun followed Shen Xitang away. Su Xun stood there and looked at their backs side by side, clenching his fists and his expression became ugly.
…
Jiang Xun and Shen Xitang took a carriage to the door of a large house in the back alley of Chunmingfang, and the carriage stopped.
Jiang Xun and Shen Xitang got out of the car one after another. She was supported by Yingqiao who was standing next to the carriage. When she looked up, she saw a large and magnificent plaque hanging on the door, with the three characters "Qibao Society" written on it. This large plaque It is made of pure gold and inlaid with fine white jade, which is very luxurious.
There were several strong men in black guarding the door, standing on both sides of the door.
They saw Shen Xitang's expression stern and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"General Shen!"
Shen Xitang waved his hand and ordered the guards behind him to give them the things.
The guard took out a few boxes and handed them to one of the strong men.
One of the strong men took the box and opened it to look at it. He carefully held it in his hand, as if he was sure that what Shen Xitang gave was an extremely precious treasure without even looking at it.
"You two, please come in."
After entering the Qibao Club, a tall, graceful and young woman came to greet her after only a few steps.
I don't know where she came from.
The woman was dressed in white, gorgeous and moving, but her face was respectful and full of kind smiles.
"It's polite to you two distinguished guests. Let me show you the way."
After saying that, she blessed her body, walked lightly in front of them, and began to lead the way.
After walking for a while, Jiang Xun realized why he needed this woman in white to lead the way.
This place is simply a maze with many mechanisms. Once people who are not familiar with the route come in and have no one to guide them, they will be trapped inside and unable to get out. Unless you are proficient in this.
It can be seen that the master of Qibao Society must be proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia.
And along the way, the flowers randomly placed on the road are all rare. Every decoration and building in the garden is extremely luxurious, not to mention the animals such as peacocks and cranes raised in the garden. But it is something that is rare for the noble families of the kings and grandsons.
"We're here, please come in. The slave family will be sent here." After the woman in white finished speaking, she left gracefully.
…
The two of them walked around the corridor and entered the main hall, and saw that there were already many people inside.
As soon as they entered, they attracted everyone's attention.
This was the first time the two of them had appeared in public as a couple. The news that the two had been given a marriage had already spread throughout the capital, so the first time they appeared together caused everyone to talk about it.
Jiang Xun glanced around and saw many familiar people.
Xiao Wanghe was also there. When he saw Jiang Xun and Shen Xitang, his expression froze and his body swayed slightly, as if he had been greatly shocked.
After Jiang Xun saw Xiao Wanghe, she felt Shen Xitang's eyes staring at her, and she looked around calmly, as if she didn't notice Xiao Wanghe at all.
Shen Xitang was quickly called over, saying that he had something to ask him. Shen Xitang asked Jiang Xun to wait for him here for a while, saying that he would be back soon.
But not long after Shen Xitang left, another group of people came in at the door.
When everyone saw them, they stepped forward to salute. It turned out that several princes and princesses were here.
Behind them were the palace maids and guards. The rule of the Qibao Society was that only as many people as possible could enter if they were given a few treasures. In this way, these guards and palace maids also bought tickets.
Princess Qingjue and the fourth prince Yan Cong were also among them. Princess Qingjue's expression changed when she saw Jiang Xun, biting her lips and looking angry. She saw that Jiang Xun came alone and no one was following her. He sneered a few times and said
: "Some people are really ridiculous. They don't know how much they weigh. They insist on going to crowded places without checking whether this is the place they should be."
When Jiang Xun heard it, he pretended not to hear it. Instead, Yun Danfeng glanced at her lightly, as if he was not affected at all, and instead became more cold and dignified.
Sure enough, Princess Qingjue was going crazy when she saw her expression. Her face quickly turned from green to white, and the only thing missing was that there was no smoke coming out of her head.
Yan Cong's eyes were fixed on Jiang Xun, seeing her beautiful appearance and elegant figure, he felt a pity in his heart. He originally wanted to accept it, but who knew that in just one day, she was engaged, and it was with Shen Xitang.
However, since he is not married yet, he does not have no chance. So what if he is married? As long as he wants, there is nothing he can't get.
Yan Cong narrowed his peach blossom eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking so handsome and charming.
At this time, Shen Xitang suddenly came back. With him standing next to Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun became the focus of the audience again. It was difficult for everyone not to pay attention.
Princess Qingjue looked infatuated when she saw Shen Xitang, but when she saw him walking towards Jiang Xun and patting her shoulder affectionately, she was so jealous that she went crazy with jealousy.
However, Shen Xitang seemed not to see her.
Suddenly, a pretty woman walked out gracefully, followed by several people dressed as maids, holding a pipa for her.
"Is that the Yuanyu girl?" someone asked.
"Exactly, I heard that General Shen is also her guest, and the Qin family's elder brother seems to have a close relationship with her."
"I heard that Qin Xufeng's return to Beijing also caused an uproar."
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
…
After the woman named Yuanyu sat down, the maid carefully placed the lute in front of her.
Yuanyu had a cool expression. Before preparing to perform, he stood up, bowed gracefully to everyone, then sat down and started playing.
The sound of the pipa is like an oriole's melody, like spring water flowing, or like the sound of rain falling on the ice, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes urgent, sometimes gentle, sometimes smooth.
The slightly trembling, lingering music made people intoxicated. It took a long time until the sound of the pipa stopped for a while, and everyone came back to their senses.
"The music of the kite fish is really rare to hear in the world. I haven't listened to it for a long time, and the music skills of the kite fish have become even more superb." A clear voice came from outside the door.
Yuanyu just smiled faintly and bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
When everyone looked back, they saw two handsome and extraordinary men. One was Prince Kang Yan Shen with a cold face, and the other was a man in a blue robe whom Jiang Xun had never seen before. Standing next to him was Yan Shen.
Soon Jiang Xun heard someone shout: "That's Qin Xufeng."
"Why is he back?"
"I heard I've been back for a few days."
"The relationship between Prince Kang and him is still so good. This time Qin Xufeng came to participate in the treasure fighting meeting, and Prince Kang actually came with him."
After Yan Shen saw Jiang Xun, he looked a little strange and stared at her closely. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes were a little cautious.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes, as if to avoid his attention.
Shen Xitang bent down close to her ear and whispered, "I promised not to look at other men. I'm not good."
Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded, "I didn't."
Shen Xitang didn't force her. He snorted and said softly, "It's okay if I don't."
Many more people came one after another, and Wei Mingyu, who had been detained in the Wei Mansion for several months, also came. She looked a lot thinner, but she was still very energetic, and the look in her eyes at Jiang Xun was also very scary.
When several men and noble ladies from the Yan family arrived, Jiang Xun frowned, but Su Xun followed them.
Just when she was confused, Shopkeeper Yang from the Qibao Club came out and said loudly: "Today is the annual treasure fighting event of our Qibao Club. Thank you to all the distinguished guests for bringing their treasures. The winner today will receive the treasure prepared by the Qibao Club." Three treasures."
Someone shouted: "The treasures Qibao Society brings out every year are unexpected and priceless. What will this year's treasure be?"
Manager Yang clapped his hands, and three strong men walked in quietly carrying three boxes of different sizes.
The smallest box is only as big as a palm, while the largest box is two feet long.
At the signal of shopkeeper Yang, the strong man opened the box.
"The first treasure is the Suihou Pearl. Everyone must know the origin of this treasure. Today Qibao Society brought out the Suihou Pearl, which is rare in a hundred years. Suihou's Pearl and Bian He's Bi are both extremely precious. This one is Although the Suihou Pearl is not as big as the legendary one, its light is enough to illuminate a room. The second treasure is the Avalokitesvara Buddha, which was made by hundreds of craftsmen. It is lifelike. The third treasure is the famous Buddha. The sword—the Shadow Sword, not only cuts iron like clay, is exquisite and elegant, but also kills people invisible."
Everyone was in an uproar. Each of the three treasures this time was a treasure, and each one was enough to make people fight for it. Everyone had a sure-win light in their eyes. Jiang Xun naturally wanted to get these treasures.
Everyone thought: This Qibao Society is really generous. No wonder so many people are willing to exchange heavy treasures for a place to enter. If he wins, all three treasures will be in his bag.
Qin Xufeng noticed this, interest flashed in his eyes, and he walked over, "General Shen, is this your fiancée who was given a marriage by the Holy One?"
Although Qin Xufeng was asking Shen Xitang, his eyes were staring at Jiang Xun without blinking, and the interest in his eyes was undisguised.
