Chapter 157: Acquaintances meet
Wan Xin's emotions at this time can be said to be a mixed conversation. Unexpectedly, the person who disappeared in the capital would meet him again. What did he do here? Wan Xin thought of the feverish Jade Jue, and couldn't help but connect this matter with Liu Fanchen.
As soon as Liu Fanchen got off the carriage, a man in a gorgeous clothes, as well as the shopkeeper and waiter of the house, all came out to greet him, looking like a regular customer. It was a while since Liu Fanchen arrived in Xiliang. Just as Wan Xin was sitting in the window and looking downstairs, Liu Fanchen seemed to feel the gaze, raised his head to look at the window on the second floor, which happened to be opposite Chen Wanxin's gaze. Although it was only a short second, Liu Fanchen's originally cold eyes flashed for a moment, and then returned to normal. He nodded to the man in a gorgeous clothes who was greeting, and walked into the tavern together.
"Miss, Mr. Liu looked in our direction just now. Did you say he saw us?" Mingyue asked while eating the hot dishes that the waiter had just brought. Although the food here is not as exquisite as the capital, it also has a unique flavor.
"He naturally saw us." Wanxin did not have the same appetite as Mingyue. She just ate two simple meals and put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"Why didn't Mr. Liu say hello to us?" Mingyue's mouth was stuffed, and she was a little confused when she spoke.
Wan Xin took a look at Mingyue's eating habits and did not say that she didn't understand the rules. Their master and servant were named master and servant, in fact, their relationship was like sisters, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Miss, I'm not as delicious as this big piece of meat." Mingyue smiled embarrassedly and continued to stuff a large piece of meat into her mouth.
"You said you, let others see it, and you thought I wouldn't give you food every day." Wan Xin said laughingly. She never knew that Mingyue liked eating meat so much, which really scared her.
"Why are you here?" Just as Wan Xin stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, a cold male voice rang beside him. Wan Xin didn't have to turn his head and knew who the person was talking. The food he had just put in his mouth was shocked by Liu Fanchen and instantly choked himself. His white and tender face instantly turned red, and he stretched out his hand and kept hammering it towards his chest.
This scared Mingyue, so he quickly poured Wanxin a glass of water, got up and patted Wanxin's back, hoping that she would feel better. After a while, Wanxin was finally able to speak normally, waved her hand to Mingyue, and asked her to do it.
"Am I that scary?" A cold voice sounded again. Liu Fanchen felt very upset when he saw this woman choking just because of his words. His voice was not that scary.
Wan Xin then turned to Liu Fanchen standing next to the table, showing a polite and distant smile, "Young Master Liu, what a coincidence." After that, he continued to eat the wine and food in front of him.
Before Wan Xin finished speaking, Liu Fanchen's face became colder again. He didn't say anything, and a slight hum from his mouth. Wan Xinquan pretended not to hear it, but instead had a lot of appetite and ate with relish.
Now it was Mingyue's turn to be at a loss. Look at the lady and Mr. Liu. His eyes were rumbling. Liu Fanchen had no intention of leaving. Now Mingyue was a little uneasy and picked up the teapot in front of him, "The tea is cold, I'll ask the waiter to add some hot water." After that, he quickly fled the scene and did not breathe a long sigh until he ran downstairs.
Liu Fanchen walked to Mingyue's seat and slowly sat down, "What are you doing here?"
Wan Xin looked up at the uninvited person and said, "What, I can't come here? What are you doing when Mr. Liu comes to Xiliang?"
Liu Fanchen knew that Wan Xin was a tough guy. Seeing her attitude of keeping people from thousands of miles away, he couldn't help but calm down, "I have something to deal with."
"This is really a coincidence. I have something to deal with." When Wan Xin saw Liu Fanchen, she couldn't help but think of his annoying behavior of not saying goodbye. Wan Xin didn't know where she was angry, but she was right.
"I..." Liu Fanchen hesitated for a moment, paused for a moment, and continued, "I didn't explain to you that it was my fault, but I left suddenly and I didn't have time to say goodbye to you."
Chen Wanxin didn't expect that Liu Fanchen would explain her whereabouts to her. This made Wanxin completely unexpected that she has never been a mess. If she was facing others in this matter, she would definitely not have any emotional ups and downs. I don't know why as long as she meets Liu Fanchen, she will become less like herself, her usual calmness and rationality no longer exists, and replaced by her willfulness and sentimentality that she dislikes the most.
"My elder brother is here. Now my sister-in-law is pregnant. I have also come to Xiliang to accompany my sister-in-law." Wan Xin truthfully told Liu Fanchen about his purpose of coming to Xiliang.
"Oh? The newly appointed General Dingyuan is your eldest brother?" Liu Fanchen had never met Wan Xin's eldest brother, but knew that she had an older brother and loved her very much.
Chen Wanxin nodded, and seeing that Liu Fanchen knew the name of his elder brother, Wanxin felt a sense of pride in his heart. "I didn't expect that Mr. Liu also knew the name of his elder brother, and Wanxin was really flattered."
Liu Fanchen looked at the dishes on the table, and used a fan to push the dishes in Wanxin direction, leaving the greasy dishes farther away from him. "How could you not know that General Dingyuan was the first person to go directly to General Dingyuan from the level of Deputy Captain Zhenwei since the founding of the Northern Liang Dynasty. When your elder brother returns to the capital, he will also enter the palace to receive the personal commendation of the current emperor. And..." Liu Fanchen paused, looked up at Wanxin, and continued with a smile in his pupils, "In the future, I will be an official in the same court. Do you think it is a coincidence?"
How could Wanxin not see what Liu Fanchen said in his heart? The meaning was clearly that if you didn’t play tricks with me, I would tell your elder brother about your evil deeds. "You two are officials together, what does it have to do with me?" Wanxin was still pretending to be tough, and after saying that, he turned his head and ignored Liu Fanchen.
"I came to Xiliang because I was actually doing it for the Jade Jue." Liu Fanchen put away his inappropriate appearance and said seriously.
After hearing this, Wan Xin turned his head and looked at Liu Fanchen. Unexpectedly, Liu Fanchen actually told her his true purpose, which was completely beyond Chen Wanxin's expectations.
"Is there the whereabouts of the jade bead?" Wan Xin asked quickly. According to his reaction to the jade bead, the other half should be around Xiliang City.
"No. Why, Miss Chen is so concerned about Yu Jue now?"
Chen Wanxin sighed faintly, and briefly explained Liu Anyang's explanation, hiding the fact that Liu Anyang has a jade pendant and handed it over to her. It was just that Liu Anyang came to Beiliang to explore the secret of the jade pendant. His patterns were obtained from her. As for where Liu Anyang learned it, she didn't know. Now that Liu Anyang is in an accident, he is her friend, and he should have the obligation to continue to realize Liu Anyang's unfulfilled wish.
After Chen Wanxin finished speaking, Liu Fanchen did not respond at all. Just when Wanxin was waiting for impatience, Liu Fanchen spoke, "Are you going to avenge her?"
Chen Wanxin looked up at the man in front of him and nodded firmly. The persistence in his eyes made Liu Fanchen completely believe in Wanxin's plan, and knew that there was no one or anything in the world that could dispel Wanxin's thoughts. Because he was too familiar with this look, just like seeing himself in the mirror.
"Do you know who your opponent is?" Liu Fanchen couldn't help but remind Chen Wanxin of his opponent's strength.
"No matter who it is, killing people to pay for their lives, I think it will work wherever I want. So what if he is a royal family?" Wan Xin said calmly and firmly. She was never afraid of power, but she did not have the ability to fight against the second prince yet, but she believed that it would not take long before the second prince would pay a heavy price for everything she did.
"We are the same in this regard."
"What are you?" Chen Wanxin exclaimed in an instant when he heard Liu Fanchen say it lightly. Liu Fanchen has been surprised by her all the time today. This time he actually told everyone he wanted to deal with, "Which prince do you want to help seize the throne?"
"What do you think?" Liu Fanchen asked back without directly answering Wan Xin's question.
At this time, Mingyue had already brought a pot of hot tea. When she saw Liu Fanchen sitting in her seat, she had to pour Liu Fanchen a cup of hot tea and stood beside Wan Xin.
"I think it's probably the fourth prince." Wan Xin picked up his teacup and slowly sipped the tea. "Come on, drink tea." After saying that, he did not see Liu Fanchen taking any action, but said coldly, "I'm not thirsty."
Wan Xin immediately cursed the old fox in front of him. He knew that the tea was hard to drink, so he didn't touch it. She took another sip of the tea in vain.
"Oh? How do you say this? Miss Fei Chen is also very familiar with the Fourth Prince?" A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Fanchen's smiling eyes. He was very surprised. How could Wan Xin know his next plan?
As soon as Wan Xin said that, he regretted it. Why did he blurt out the Fourth Prince? Not to mention that he had never met the Fourth Prince in this life. According to the current time, the Fourth Prince may have not returned to the capital yet. He, a idle prince, has been traveling through the beautiful rivers of Beiliang for so many years.
"Well, I heard that the Fourth Prince is also a prince who loves life. This is very similar to Mr. Liu. I'm talking nonsense." Wan Xin explained to himself embarrassedly. I can't say that I saw your every move in my previous life, you just surrendered to the Fourth Prince.
After hearing this, Liu Fanchen smiled calmly, "I didn't expect that I had such an image in Miss Shen's heart. It's so honorable."
"You haven't said that what news did you get about the Jade Jue?" Wan Xin decided to change the topic and turn back to the Jade Jue.
Liu Fanchen glanced at Mingyue beside Wanxin. Wanxin winked at Mingyue. Mingyue immediately understood the lady’s intention, nodded, walked to an empty table in the distance and sat down. "Young Master Liu can say it now."
"Miss Chen's maid is really well-trained, and Liu admires it."
Chen Wanxin was not led by Liu Fanchen this time, "It's not that there is Yu Jue's whereabouts. What else is there to be news worth coming from the capital to this border?"
Liu Fanchen didn't expect that Wan Xin would no longer be deceived, so he said seriously, "It's not because of whereabouts, it's because there is a person here who has seen Jade Jue. When Jade Jue appears in Xiliang, I rushed over without stopping."
"Oh? Who is it?" Chen Wanxin was shocked. Has he seen Yu Jue? Liu Anyang fled from Western Chu to Beiliang, and Xiliang City is the only place to pass from Western Chu to Beiliang. Could it be that this person had seen Liu Anyang before?
"Not found yet." As soon as Liu Fanchen finished speaking, Wan Xin felt relieved, but the next second, he continued to raise his mind. As long as Liu Fanchen found this person, the matter of Yu Jue would be exposed. According to Liu Fanchen's intelligence, he would not have expected that Yu Jue was already here with her now.
"Can I find this person with you?" Wan Xin blurted out his request. After saying that, he felt a little regretful. This request was too abrupt. Why should Liu Fanchen share the news with her?
"Yes." Liu Fanchen agreed without thinking. Today's Liu Fanchen was so impressive. Chen Wanxin wanted to pinch his handsome face to see if this person was Liu Fanchen or someone disguised. "What are you staring at me? What is there on my face?" Liu Fanchen saw Wanxin looking at her without blinking, "Or, are you also attracted by my appearance?"
Wan Xin blushed in an instant and said in a low voice, "Shameless."
"Do you live in your brother's mansion in Xiliang?" Liu Fanchen stopped teasing her, Wan Xin nodded, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow." After saying that, he didn't even say goodbye, and then got up and left.
"Miss, what did Mr. Liu tell you?" Mingyue walked back when she saw Liu Fanchen leave. She looked at the dazed lady and asked curiously.
"He said, take me to meet an important person tomorrow." Wan Xin then realized that Liu Fanchen was coming to the tavern to find out the news. It seemed that the man in the gorgeous clothes was Bai Xiaosheng from the local area. Liu Fanchen learned from him the whereabouts of the man who had seen the Jade Jue.
It’s just that those who have seen the jade pendant can attract Liu Fanchen from the capital to Xiliang from thousands of miles away. What kind of secret does this jade pendant have? Can it be so attractive? At this time, Wanxin’s jade pendant has been wearing it well on her body, and there is no place that makes her feel at ease. Only when she is worn by her all the time can it feel at ease.
This trip was a big gain. Wan Xin returned to the mansion and told his sister-in-law about meeting Liu Fanchen. Xue Lanfeng was very happy when she heard this. She had met this young master when she was in Taiqingzhuang. She could be said to be elegant and talented, which was a little worse than Chen Qiang, but not much worse. Wan Xin didn't know what her sister-in-law was thinking at the moment, "Sister-in-law, Mr. Liu said to meet an old friend tomorrow, and you can tell my brother." Wan Xin did not directly tell her sister-in-law their purpose to avoid her worries. Moreover, the matter of Yu Jue is still relatively confidential, so naturally the fewer people know, the better.
When Xue Lanfeng saw Wan Xin going out with Liu Fanchen, she said with a smile, "No problem, it's all for me. You young people just go on a date."
Chen Wanxin, "..."
She knew that her sister-in-law seemed to have misunderstood, but now it is not the time to explain the misunderstanding, so let her go.
