Xu Heng looked at Zhu Shuqi in surprise, and said in a sly and strange manner: "Is this official no longer worthy of drinking with Her Highness the Princess?"
"I'll just have a drink. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Zhu Shuqi responded calmly and stopped touching the wine glass.
"Alas, it seems that the official has ruined the princess's happiness. The official understands in his heart that with such a humble and low status, how can he be qualified to drink wine with the noble princess?
"I should have understood this truth long ago, but it's a pity that I was stupid and didn't think it through earlier. I hope that Your Highness the Princess will forgive me.
"The lower official felt that it was shameless to stay, so he resigned first."
After a series of bitchy words, Xu Heng put down the flask, stood up, and took the opportunity to sneak away.
"Sit down." Zhu Shuqi said calmly.
"Your Highness, don't try to persuade her to stay. I'm not worthy of being here." Xu Heng replied, minding his own business, and turned around.
"I want you to sit down." Zhu Shuqi's tone was a little colder.
"You are not worthy of being a low-ranking official!" Xu Heng shouted sadly.
"Sit down or die."
"boom!"
Xu Heng suddenly turned around, jumped, and sat back.
"Do you know why I invite you to drink?" Zhu Shuqi asked calmly.
"I don't know." Xu Heng replied with his head lowered.
"Because you saved my younger brother, restored his sanity, returned to the capital, and reunited with my father and us." Zhu Shuqi said calmly.
"Your Highness, you are so polite. Your Majesty is just a chivalrous and warm-hearted person. He draws his sword to help when there is injustice. He is naturally righteous..."
"That's why I gave you poisonous wine, so you shouldn't meddle in other people's business."
"???" Xu Heng's eyes widened.
"I lied to you." Zhu Shuqi smiled immediately. For a moment, her pale and delicate face seemed to have a little more rosy color, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, as if she was very satisfied with Xu Heng's stunned expression at the moment.
She habitually picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then the smile on her face suddenly froze, as if she had realized something, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned.
"..."
She raised her other hand to cover her red lips, lowered her head slightly, and then put the wine glass back on the table without changing her expression.
Xu Heng glanced at it. Not only was there no less wine in the wine glass, there seemed to be a little more, and there was a little foam floating on it.
"What are you looking at? Close your eyes." Zhu Shuqi also saw the situation in the wine glass, her face immediately changed, and she shouted loudly.
"oh!"
Xu Heng was very persuaded and closed his eyes.
Isn't it just spitting the wine in his mouth back? What's not allowed to see?
"I asked you to come drink because I like this younger brother. He is different from other princes. But if I like him, it does not mean that other people will like him, so you saved him and made many people very unhappy.
Do you understand?" Zhu Shuqi said coldly.
"Understood." Xu Heng nodded.
This is nothing more than other princes feeling that there is another rival for the throne. It is normal to be unhappy.
"Just understand. After Xiao Lao Shi returned to the capital, he also mentioned you to me, saying that you were an interesting person and asked me to help find your whereabouts."
Zhu Shuqi continued: "However, I ordered people to search for several months, but there was no trace of you. On the contrary, several outsiders appeared in Yihong Pavilion today, and you also appeared suddenly, and appeared without any warning. So, what are you doing?"
Who is he?"
"Ah?" Xu Heng was stunned by the question.
The other party's question made him feel confused.
Zhang San and others are outsiders, but I am not regarded as an outsider?
"Your Highness, is there a possibility that I am also an outsider?" Xu Heng frowned, feeling that something was not right.
"Of course you are an outsider. I also know that you are with them, and the little old ten also knows." Zhu Shuqi nodded, "But what I am asking is, who are you?"
Xu Heng was even more confused instantly. What the hell is this question? Why can’t I understand it?
"Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean." Xu Heng looked puzzled.
"You don't understand?" Zhu Shuqi frowned and her expression gradually darkened.
"No, Your Highness, I really don't understand what you mean. I am an outsider just like those people just now. Otherwise, who else could I be?" Xu Heng asked hurriedly.
He always felt that the princess' words seemed to treat him differently from Zhang San and others.
But the other party just said that he knew he was an outsider. Isn't this inconsistent?
"If I know better, do I still need to ask you?" Zhu Shuqi's eyes turned cold and she stared at Xu Heng.
Then, he shook his head and said: "That's all, since you don't understand, then get out."
"Wait a minute, Your Highness Princess, I..." Xu Heng opened his mouth and wanted to ask more questions.
However, Zhu Shuqi waved her hand gently.
Xu Heng's vision suddenly blurred, as if he was trapped in a mist, and his body continued to fall.
In the blink of an eye, his vision returned to clarity, and he appeared directly at the stairs on the first floor.
When I looked up again, the stairs leading to the top were gone, and the second floor was silent and deserted.
"Xu Heng?"
At this time, Li Wanqian exclaimed.
Then a group of people ran over and looked at him in surprise.
"What did you do up there? Why did you suddenly appear here?"
"And as soon as you showed up, why did everyone else disappear?"
Zhang San and Zhou Chong asked one after another.
Only then did Xu Heng realize that something was wrong. Apart from a few of them, there was no one else on the first floor.
The two strong men guarding the stairs, including Su's mother, were all gone.
"I don't know either. My mind is like a ball of mush right now. Don't ask me questions. Let me sort it out myself first..."
Xu Heng waved his hand, feeling that his mind was in confusion.
He didn't bother to figure out the situation in front of him, and kept thinking about Zhu Shuqi's words just now in his mind.
I am an outsider, I am in the same group as Zhang San and others, but who am I?
This question is illogical and I have no idea what I am asking.
Xu Heng couldn't help but think of the dream he had during the college entrance examination simulation battlefield.
In the dream, young Lao Xu said that he would send them all out.
"Did I really enter the simulated world and then be sent out by Old Xu? Was it when I was a baby and had no memory?" Xu Heng frowned and thought, but couldn't figure it out.
Even if you really entered the simulation world as a baby, it would be nothing!
At most, it’s just that I entered the simulation world earlier than others. What’s so special about it?
It can’t be that I’m originally from the simulated world, right?
"kindness?"
When Xu Heng came up with this idea, he was instantly startled.
But this guess is still wrong and inconsistent.
Because Zhu Shuqi also made it clear that he was an outsider.
"No, I really can't think of anything. I have to find a way to contact my senior sister later. My senior sister was already six years old when I was born. She might know something."
Xu Heng thought hard to no avail, so he could only suppress his inner doubts and wait to talk to Fu Yongqing.
"It's strange. You can't go up to this place. There are no stairs. You can only go up to the second floor."
"The key is that everyone on the second floor is gone."
At this time, Zhang San and others also walked up the stairs and noticed something strange.
"Go outside as well. This door seems to have become a false door, completely integrated into the wall." Li Wanqian also pointed to the door, a little surprised.
After all, she and Xu Heng had passed through this gate just now.
"I know, the solar term pollution outbreak seems to be over, and the Qingming solar term is decreasing."
At this time, a girl spoke.
She is a senior student at Dishu University, a Qingming Festival master, and is very sensitive to Qingming solar terms.
"So fast? Doesn't the solar pollution in this area last for at least three days?" Zhang San was stunned.
Xu Heng showed them the information, which indeed recorded this.
But it has only been less than a day since they came in, and the solar term pollution is about to end.
"It's so weird, we really can't come to this place." Zhou Chong said solemnly.
"Indeed, the woman who called herself a princess just now is also very scary. She feels like she is at least a master level."
Hu Manman also nodded, looked at Xu Heng with lingering fear, and gave a thumbs up: "You are really awesome for coming back alive!"
"..."
Xu Heng turned his head speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to her.
I went up to drink some wine, and I got a few angry words from the strange people. Finally, I was confused by a few words. What's so cool about this?
If I have to say it, I made a princess drink wine mixed with my saliva, which is indeed a bit awesome!
It's a pity that there is no video and no one would believe it.
"Hey, it's really over."
At this time, Zhang San was surprised again.
Xu Heng also felt it, and there seemed to be a faint white mist around him.
Everything in front of him began to distort, and then was shrouded in white.
The next moment, a group of people appeared on the desolate sandy land.
Not far away is an iron fence.
This means they are indeed back.
It was dark now and it was evening.
"This thing is a bit weird, but the mission is completed at least..."
Xu Heng shook his head and didn't think any more.
Soon, the group left the contaminated area, packed up their tents and other items and loaded them into the car.
Then the two off-road vehicles quickly returned to the road they had taken.
On the way, Zhang San also told Xu Heng what happened in Yihong Pavilion.
As soon as they entered, they appeared directly on the fourth floor.
Perhaps it has something to do with the realm of strength. Zhou Chong, Li Wanqian and Hu Manman in the Descaling realm are all on the second floor.
Zhang San and others who are full of energy and close to perfection are all on the fourth floor.
And as expected, the five senior students all became girls in the building and were asked to change their clothes and prepare to receive guests.
Zhang San, like Zhou Chong, was treated as a servant, but this also gave Zhang San the opportunity to wander around.
As a result, I was very lucky and found a suitable location for installing the equipment in no time.
But after the placement, a senior student was selected to be taken into the wing room.
So when other people saw this, they went to help, and then the fight started.
Originally, if they started on the fourth floor, it seemed to have no impact. With their strength, they had nothing to fear.
However, the princess appeared, with just a strong momentum, which frightened Zhang San and others into retreating without a fight.
Zhou Chong also expressed this point. When he took action on the second floor, he felt that he was being targeted by someone, and it was a very powerful existence.
That's why he allowed himself to be beaten and scolded, and received a severe beating.
Xu Heng could only express his helplessness at this, as the information did not mention this at all.
Either the information is deliberately kept confidential and is selectively hidden.
Either the princess was not in Yihong Pavilion in the past, so it was okay to take action, but this time she was inside, so she intervened.
But it doesn't matter anymore, the equipment is installed anyway, and there is no need to go to that ghost place anymore.
Finally, late at night.
The group of people finally arrived at the nearest city, Daifuku City, and directly found a hotel to stay.
Xu Heng was lying on the bed tossing and turning, still thinking about today's events in his mind.
Later in the night, when he was about to fall asleep, his cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhou Chong.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Xu Heng, why are Zhang San and the others gone?"
"Well? What do you mean?" Xu Heng suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Didn't he tell you? I just saw them driving away from the window and taking their luggage with them," Zhou Chong responded.
Xu Heng was startled, hung up the phone, and called Zhang San again.
Soon, Zhang San was connected.
"Hey, Xiao Hengzi, what do you want from your grandpa?" Zhang San's voice suddenly came over the phone, and his tone was obviously frivolous and arrogant.
"What do you mean? Xiao Zhang San." Xu Heng asked lightly.
"It doesn't mean much. Someone wants to pay off my debt. The money will be delivered tomorrow. Hahaha, I am resurrected with full health again. I don't have to work for you anymore. You can take your time and play by yourself." Zhang San laughed.
"Is it the Wei family?" Xu Heng frowned and his face darkened.
"Yes, with the money given by the Wei family, whoever has the money will be the boss." Zhang San said confidently.
"You are such a dog!" Xu Heng sighed.
"How can this be called a dog? This is called lying down!"
Zhang San's tone on the phone was obviously very happy, and he advised leisurely:
"Xiao Hengzi, I advise you not to waste your time. If you should give up, just give up. You can't compare with theirs.
"Wei Shaozong didn't take you seriously at all. This competition was directly handled by his sister Wei Anran.
"Just today I heard that hundreds of us are working for you, so Wei Shaozong used his own money to pay off my debt and told me not to meddle in my own business.
"Think about it, you don't have to work and you still get money, I will definitely accept this kind of good thing.
"So you really don't have to fight with them. Now it's just Wei Shaozong who contributes some money and Wei Anran who contributes some help. You have lost all your helpers. If the entire Wei family comes forward, wouldn't you have nothing to play with?"
