"Young Master! Please wait!" Just as Huhai was about to step into Zhao Yu's courtyard, a heavy voice came from behind him.
From the sound of it, it sounded like his father's Xuanwu Guards?
Huhai's face was filled with dissatisfaction. His eyes were cold as he turned around and saw a Xuanwu Guard commander kneeling on one knee in front of him.
"Young Master, this is an important place set by His Majesty. No one is allowed to trespass.”The Xuanwu Guard said in a deep voice.
Huhai was taken aback. He did not expect that his father would send the most trusted Xuanwu Guards to protect this seemingly ordinary courtyard.
"I only picked a fruit and didn't touch anything else. I think father won't blame me if he knows.”Huhai pondered for a while.
If it wasn't for the fact that this man was his father's man, Huhai would have drawn his sword and attacked him!
"This Young Master understands. You may leave, I will go in and take a look.”Huhai said coldly and turned to leave.
"Young Master!" The Xuanwu Guard commander who was kneeling on one knee cried out in panic.
"What, you dare to disobey my words?”Huhai turned around coldly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness." If you weren't my father's man, you would be a dead man now!”
"But this is His Majesty…" Before the Xuanwu Guard could finish his sentence, Huhai waved his hand lightly and shouted coldly,"Your Majesty!""Black Eagle!"
The black eagle also belonged to the Black Ice Platform, but it was the leader of the guards responsible for protecting Huhai.
Seeing Black Eagle standing in front of him and stopping him, the Xuanwu Guard commander was helpless.
Only when Huhai had completely entered the courtyard did the black eagle follow him. The commander of the Xuanwu Guards let out a long sigh.
Beside him, a Xuanwu Guard walked up anxiously and said to the Xuanwu Guard commander,""Commander, His Majesty has personally ordered us to do this. If Huhai goes in to cause trouble and ruin His Majesty's plan, we will die!”
The Xuanwu Guard commander's eyes were cold as he said,""In the past, in order to let Huhai master the law, His Majesty had asked Li Si and Zhao Gao, who were proficient in Qin law, to teach Young Master Huhai. Not only did that old thief Zhao Gao betray His Majesty, but he must have secretly bewitched Young Master Huhai, causing him to become so violent!”
Beside him, the Black Tortoise Guards who were loyal to the Great Qin Imperial Family all revealed cold gazes and hated Zhao Gao to the bone.
After a pause, the Xuanwu Guard commander said,"Quickly report this matter to His Majesty and let His Majesty deal with it."”
"Here." The Xuanwu Guard knelt on one knee and quickly stood up. He rode his horse and galloped towards Xianyang Palace!
……
Wang Clan Estate.
In the mountain spring, green trees formed a shade, and the lake rippled. Outside the pavilion made of fragrant wood, the warm wind lifted the girl's sky-blue chiffon dress.
The fragrance drifted to the center of the lake with the wind, and the white clouds formed a group of peaks in the blue sky.
At the foot of the pavilion, the master and servant sat facing each other in chairs and played chess in the pavilion.
"Shuang 'er, your chess skills have become much more profound. You can't let me win this time!”Wang Mengning smiled sweetly as she spoke.
"Ning 'er, your chess skills are getting stronger and stronger. It won't be long before you catch up to me.”Li Zhishuang gave a faint smile, and her entire temperament was like a cold and elegant orchid.
Although they were master and servant, their relationship was like sisters!
Li Zhishuang was once a noble of the Chu Country. Later on, Wang Jian broke through the enemy's rear and could not bear to see Li Zhishuang starve to death in the wilderness.
He then brought Li Zhishuang back to Xianyang, but who would have thought that his son Ben would have a daughter, so he raised the two together.
Wang Mengning was badly battered and could not place her piece. In the end, she simply admitted defeat and said,"Shuang 'er, I don't want to play anymore. You know that I've liked to fight and kill since I was young, but grandfather insisted that I learn these zither, chess, poetry, and paintings from you.”
Li Zhishuang smiled lightly and said indifferently,"The old general is also doing this for your own good. You are the daughter of the Wang family, beautiful and graceful. The old general is also trying to betroth you to someone. You fight and kill all day long.”
"I don't want to marry! I just want to stay in the Wang family!" Wang Mengning pursed her lips, then looked at Li Zhishuang and said,"In terms of zither, chess, poetry, and painting, I am inferior to you. In terms of martial arts, you are inferior to me. In terms of looks, you are not inferior to me. I have heard many people say that there are two beauties in Xianyang City.”
"I'm so jealous!" Wang Mengning pouted.
Li Zhishuang blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly,"Ning 'er, there are tens of thousands of women in the world, and you and I are only two of them. Where did you get so many comments? He was also saying,'Ning' er, why do you always care about this gossip?”
"Shuang 'er, I'm doing this for your sake. I'm thinking about whether I should find a good family to marry you off!”Wang Mengning smiled sweetly and said playfully.
Unexpectedly, just as Wang Mengning finished speaking, she saw Li Zhishuang's expression suddenly turn serious. She stood up solemnly and bowed."Greetings, Old General."
When Wang Mengning heard that, she was overjoyed. She instantly stood up and said happily,"Grandpa! You're finally here! Grandpa, I want to learn sword arts from you, and I want to learn the art of war from you. I don't like these zither, chess, poetry, and paintings.”
Wang Jian nodded his head towards Li Zhishuang. His face was filled with admiration. After which, he glared at Wang Mengning and said,"Ning 'er, grandpa is preparing to marry you off. He is the messenger of the immortals. He wants you to learn these things so that you can better grasp the opportunity.”
"Grandpa is doing this for your own good!”Wang Jian sighed and said in a doting manner.
This granddaughter of his was good in every aspect. She was the second most beautiful woman in Xianyang. Unfortunately, she did not like red clothes and preferred military uniforms since she was young. She was always fighting and killing. A few of the profligate young masters in Xianyang City were beaten by Wang Mengning until they were paralyzed.
Upon hearing this, Wang Mengning's face wrinkled. Very quickly, she resumed her usual coquettish act. She grabbed Wang Jian's arm and said in a windchime-like voice,"Grandfather, I don't want to leave you. I want to stay in the Wang family and accompany grandfather. Grandfather, please don't marry me off.”
Wang Jian's heart warmed when he heard that. His originally serious expression instantly softened as he said,"Ning 'er, grandpa knows that grandpa can't bear to part with you, but you're the only granddaughter of the Wang family. Grandpa wants to help you find a good family for your own good and for the Wang family.”
Seeing that Wang Mengning still wanted to explain, Wang Jian gritted his teeth and said solemnly,"Ning 'er, how about this, grandfather will give you a chance. You can go to the eastern suburbs of Xianyang and see a person called Zhao Yu. If you are not satisfied, grandfather will not force you.”
Thinking of Zhao Yu's heroic bearing, extraordinary handsomeness, and unparalleled temperament, Wang Jian's heart was filled with confidence.
After all, Zhao Yu's demeanor and aura were 80% similar to the Emperor when he was young. This was a face and aura that could conquer the world!
When Wang Mengning heard this, she was delighted. Since her grandfather had given her the right to choose, wouldn't it be up to her whether she wanted to marry or not?
"Thank you grandfather, Ning 'er knows grandfather the best.”Wang Mengning smiled and gave Wang Jian a wave of rainbow farts.
After Wang Jian left, Wang Mengning still had a smile on her face. She turned around and said to Li Zhishuang with a smile,"Sister Shuang 'er, we're about the same height and build. Later on, you can wear my clothes and pretend to be my voice. Go to Eastern Jiujiang and help me take a look at Zhao Yu. Then, you can draw Zhao Yu's face for me to see.”
The two of them grew up together, and it was easy for them to disguise as each other's voices.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the old general to personally instruct me.”Li Zhishuang hesitated.
"Shuang 'er, you also know that I'm determined not to get married. This is just a formality. Good sister, please help me, okay? Ning 'er is begging you." Wang Mengning chased after Li Zhishuang relentlessly.
Li Zhishuang was defeated by Wang Mengning's pestering and agreed,"Sure, but only this time.”
"Good! Shuang 'er, I knew you would agree!”Wang Mengning smiled happily.
……
Li Zhishuang changed into Wang Mengning's long dress of the Cloud Dream Brocade Mist Mountains and Seas. She wore a jade hairpin with a breeze and flowing clouds on her head. She wore Twelve Flower Emperor Beaded Jade Shoes. Li Zhishuang put on an airtight black veil and sat in a carriage out of the Imperial Residence.
On the streets of Xianyang City, the carriage headed towards Zhao Yu's courtyard under the coachman's guidance.
When they were about to reach Zhao Yu's courtyard, Li Zhishuang got off the carriage alone and went to Zhao Yu's backyard. With a light leap, she jumped into the courtyard.
Her movements were done in one go and extremely fast. Having grown up in the Wang Clan, Li Zhishuang's martial arts skills were naturally not bad.
The Xuanwu Guards who were observing in the dark wanted to stop him but it was too late. However, the Xuanwu Guard commander said in surprise,""Why did the second most beautiful woman in Xianyang City, the daughter of the Prince's mansion, Wang Mengning, suddenly enter here?”
The surrounding Xuanwu Guards were all confused and their eyelids twitched. Too many things had happened today that they could not understand.
