The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book

Chapter 50 50

When Xie Mingyuan saw Yan Yutang's mother and daughter in his own territory, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became clear again.

A princess, a concubine, even if she leaves the palace, she enters this kind of place.

If outsiders know about this, one of them will count as one, and even the royal reputation will suffer.

"Uncle Xie." Yan Yutang didn't pretend to be a princess this time, but called out respectfully as a junior present.

Xie Mingyuan nodded, "Your Highness Fifth."

The tone was calm, and the momentum was different from when the two met alone that day.

Probably because of the presence of old friends.

Xie Mingyuan looked at Liao Han, she didn't change much from what she remembered, even though she was wearing hair accessories that were different from before, but the aura around her was still so indifferent and alienated.

"I haven't seen you for many years." Xie Mingyuan said with emotion.

Liao Han said: "You have changed a lot."

Xie Mingyuan: "Is there?"

"The you in the past would not say such outrageous words." Liao Han lowered his eyes, and his tone did not fluctuate.

Xie Mingyuan paused while holding the tea, and slowly put back the teacup that was about to be brought to his mouth.

"Everyone changes."

Liao Han nodded, noncommittal.

Yan Yutang sat beside her with a calm expression on her face, but she was unavoidably anxious in her heart.

She always felt that something was wrong, but now she couldn't find what was wrong.

"I came to you because of Wei Xun's matter." Liao Han was not talking about old times with him, so he stated the reason for coming.

"Both of you are like this, as long as you look for me, it may only be for each other's business." Xie Mingyuan said so, but there was a helpless smile on his face.

"It's not the first day you know us." Liao Han bent his lips.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became familiar because of these few words.

Xie Mingyuan personally poured tea for the mother and daughter, the gentleness in Taohua's eyes gradually disappeared, and in just a few words, the winter more than ten years ago slowly emerged in front of the two of them.

After the mother and daughter listened, there was a layer of frost between their brows and eyes. Liao Han's eyes were still calm, and he sat on the chair, sipping hot tea.

Yan Yutang couldn't help but said, "Why did Grand Master Xie want to protect the Wang family?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled gratifyingly at her, as if he was satisfied with her sharpness.

"The Wang family was originally a family of wealthy merchants, and later gradually became an imperial merchant. The wealth they have amassed is unimaginable. Father... Grand Master Xie is doing something and needs the help of the Wang family."

Originally puzzled, as Xie Mingyuan's answer gradually cleared the fog to find the answer, Yan Yutang carefully sorted out the information she got, and she was inexplicably flustered, what, what else, she hadn't noticed.

Liao Han didn't make a sound after listening to Xie Mingyuan's words, and sat quietly on the side, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Yan Yutang frowned gradually, and the two elders in the room didn't bother to urge them. On this point, they seemed to have reached a strange tacit understanding.

"Did Uncle Xie find out what Grand Master Xie is going to do? What do you plan to do after finding out?" Yan Yutang continued to ask.

"What happened back then, I will not let anyone who should pay the price." Xie Mingyuan's tone was still gentle, but Yan Yutang was startled by the hatred inside, frowning again and again.

He wasn't joking.

So he didn't move all these years because of Xie Fanghan?

really?

After drinking a cup of tea, Liao Han finally opened his mouth: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The words were said by looking at Xie Mingyuan, but Yan Yutang knew that she was asking herself.

Yan Yutang felt that she had caught something, vague and uncertain.

"No more." She shook her head.

It was a big risk to go out of the palace today. They have been out for a long time, so if they continue to stay, they are afraid that something will happen in the palace.

"Since there are no more, let's go back." Liao Han finished speaking, nodded to Xie Mingyuan, got up decisively and left.

Yan Yutang hurriedly got up, Xie Mingyuan bowed his head slightly to her, she glanced at Xie Mingyuan again, turned and followed her mother and concubine.

On the way back to the palace, the mother and daughter were very quiet.

Yan Yutang was still pondering what Xie Mingyuan said today, while Liao Han was distracted.

"Mother concubine."

The car had stopped for a long time but Liao Han did not respond at all, Yan Yutang had no choice but to speak out.

Liao Han came back to his senses, glanced at the scenery outside the curtain, and asked casually, "Are you there?"

Yan Yutang nodded, and Liao Han got up and got out of the car.

They came back earlier than expected, and there was plenty of time.

After the two changed into their palace attires, Liao Han planned to go back to his bedroom.

"Mother Concubine." Yan Yutang stopped the person who was about to leave, looked into her calm eyes and said softly, "I still have a few things to ask Mother Concubine for verification."

Liao Han reversed his passive attitude and asked first, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Yan Yutang's heart skipped a beat. Hearing what her mother and concubine meant, did she know what she was going to ask?

So, she didn't make a mistake... Did she?

Yan Yutang hesitated, but still nodded.

"determine."

……

Under Xie Fanghan's daily "friendly condolences", Huaichun City finally opened its gates.

Just as Xie Fanghan thought, Da Yue took the initiative to ask for a negotiation.

The Dayue people on the city wall shouted at the Zhenbei Army in broken Dayan dialect, asking Dayan's chief general to come to the city for a talk.

Xie Fanghan asked someone to answer directly:

don't talk about it.

Two days later, Huaichun City once again called out to the Zhenbei Army, asking the general of the Zhenbei Army to speak at the Guanlan Pavilion on the north side of the stone forest outside the city.

Feng Yu told Xie Fanghan that the Guanlan Pavilion was on a lonely mountain, and it was the highest place nearby, so if there was an ambush, it would be clear at a glance.

Xie Fanghan looked at the map for a long time, and asked someone to convey his agreement to the proposal on the other side.

"I'll go to this negotiation."

Xiao Di and Feng Yu glanced at each other and stood up voluntarily.

Wu Xiaoshan knew that he was not material for negotiation, so he kept silent.

"I'll go." Xie Fanghan folded his hands and walked back and forth by the table where the map was laid out.

"No!" Feng Yu said decisively.

"The other side calls for the general to go, regardless of the official rank, there is an order from Xijing." Xie Fanghan put his finger on the map, gesticulating the distance, "I know what you are worried about, ambush, if you say there is no one, you will not believe it, but It’s not certain who buried whom.”

Feng Yu and Xiao Di failed to stop Xie Fanghan, so they had to take a step back and asked to go together.

Xie Fanghan looked at the two generals with serious eyes, guessing that if she said no, they would not let her out tomorrow, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I will trouble the two generals to accompany me."

Seeing that Xie Fanghan didn't shirk, Feng Yu and Xiao Di looked better.

Several people made some arrangements around the terrain, and then dispersed.

Xie Fanghan's injury was healed in sevens and eighties, and Xiao Hua finally didn't have to guard a medicine jar every day. The news from Xijing had already passed, and Xiao Hua rarely hesitated when she saw the news.

"Wait for now. The hostess is going to negotiate with the enemy tomorrow. It's better not to disturb her mind with troubles. We'll talk about it with Dayue."

At that time, Xie Fanghan really didn't have much thought about other things.

Although the plan could not keep up with the changes, she still tried her best to deduce all possible situations that might happen tomorrow in her mind.

And in the Xijing Imperial Palace that night, there was also a person who had the same difficulty falling asleep.

The day of the negotiations was a fine day.

Feng Yu asked the lieutenant to stop at the Stone Forest with the soldiers, and then went up to the Guanlan Pavilion with Xie Fanghan and Xiao Di.

When Xie Fanghan and his party reached the top of the mountain, there were already several Da Viet people waiting around the Guanlan Pavilion.

There was a man sitting in the pavilion with his back to them, who seemed to be the person talking over there.

Xie Fanghan exchanged glances with the two people around him. Xiao Di and Feng Yu stopped outside the pavilion, but their hands were on the hilt of their swords, always on guard against the other side.

As soon as Xie Fanghan sat down, the person next door made a noise.

"Your battle is not small. The two generals of the Zhenbei Army will fight for you, are you not afraid of back and forth?"

Xie Fanghan chuckled twice, looked at the exquisitely carved jade pot on the table, and poured a cup of tea by himself.

"The second prince was joking, it's not certain who will come and go."

After she finished speaking, she still took a sip of tea in a decent manner, even though the brain storm was blowing inside, she still had a calm look on her face.

The second prince Yan Yusong looked at her sideways, and his words were tentative: "Young Master Xie already knew I was here?"

"I just found out a few days ago." Xie Fanghan replied frankly.

But the more natural and open she is, the more suspicious and paranoid the second prince will be.

"Then Mr. Xie, can you clear up my confusion and let me hear how you know this?"

"Did the Second Prince invite me here today to ask me these things? If so, then forgive me for not talking more with His Highness."

Xie Fanghan was smiling, but he didn't give any face in his words.

The aura around Yan Yusong froze for a moment because of her words. He glanced at the guard of Dayue standing on his right from the corner of his eye. topic.

Yan Yusong: "They are all generals, so I won't go around the literati's corner. I'll just say it straight. It's okay to retreat, and the city and pass can also be returned to you. I will exchange 30 grain and grass."

The smile on Xie Fanghan's face became even brighter. She looked at the second prince with a tone full of regret, "It seems that the second prince doesn't want to talk about it. Fortunately, I got up so early today, it's still early, I'd better go back and catch up on sleep. "

After she finished speaking, she got up and left, walking calmly, even a little anxious, as if she was really anxious to go back to catch up on sleep.

"Come back!" Yan Yu said subconsciously.

She turned her back to the Guanlan Pavilion and said without turning her head, "Has the Second Highness thought about how to talk? If you don't think about it, we can talk about it another day."

"You can wait, the people in the city may not be sure." Yan Yusong "reminded" in a cold voice.

He knew that Xie Fanghan would definitely lower the price, so he only bit out 30 at the first mouth, but he didn't expect Xie Fanghan to be so "ruthless" that he didn't even talk to him. Fortunately, he was prepared. I'm not afraid that Xie Fanghan won't bow his head.

"Does your Highness think that I am determined?"

Xie Fanghan suddenly made a sound.

Yan Yusong frowned, Xie Fanghan turned around and smiled captivatingly at him.

Seeing that smile, Yan Yusong's heart skipped a beat.

Xie Fanghan was too low-key, so low-key that many people forgot her identity.

One of her parents is the only daughter of the General's Mansion, and the other is the second son of the Grand Master's Mansion who was known as the "No. [-] Prince of Xijing" back then. No matter their status or appearance, they are all first-class.

But for so many years, no one has paid attention to this "prominent" son.

And now he appeared in this place out of place.

Yan Yusong lowered her eyes and began to really look at the young man in front of her.

Xie Fanghan met his eyes and smiled unchanged, "I don't usually go out, Second Highness may not understand me."

Her voice was very light from beginning to end, without the aggression of negotiation, like a friendly greeting from a passing traveler.

"You want food, I don't care. But you shouldn't reach out to her."

"The Second Highness wants to slaughter the city, so please go ahead, I'm here only for Yan Yutang."
