At noon the next day, Shangguan Minghong and a group of military generals escorted him to Beifu.
Lin Yi and Qin Guangmin both changed into military uniforms, wore swords, and dressed up as Shangguan Minghong's personal bodyguards to follow him. Following them were Master Wu and Shangguan Minghong's niece Mu Qin. Mu Qin looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
She's also quite pretty.
Qin Dingfang received the invitation from Shangguan Minghong in advance.
Shangguan Minghong had no contact with Beifu, and now he actually came to visit him in person, which puzzled Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang quickly summoned Ximen Xuan to discuss matters. Ximen Xuan was unable to discern his intentions for a while.
Qin Dingfang said: "I heard that a group of people disguised as bandits yesterday assassinated Shangguan Minghong. Just when he was in danger, a young general with strong martial arts under Shangguan Minghong came and killed the bandits. Otherwise, he would have died. No.
Shangguan Minghong thinks it was us, so he came to find out the truth, right?"
Ximen Xuan said: "No matter what the reason for his coming, we haven't provoked him anyway. Even if he has ulterior motives, he can't do anything to us. However, he is in a high position, so we can't neglect him. In short, we will just give in and take advantage of him."
So Qin Dingfang and Ximenxuan took people out of the mansion to greet Shangguan Minghong. Ximenxuan also arranged a group of drummers. The reception was quite grand.
When Shangguan Minghong's team appeared on Meilin Road, Ximen Xuan waved his hand and drums and drums blared to welcome them.
Qin Dingfang looked at Shangguan Minghong who was walking in the front. It was the first time for Qin Dingfang to see Shangguan Minghong. He was quite surprised to see that Shangguan Minghong, a great general, looked like a white-faced scholar.
As the team approached, Shangguan Minghong dismounted.
Qin Dingfang greeted him with an excited expression.
Qin Dingfang cupped his fists and said, "I have seen General Shangguan."
Shangguan Minghong also looked at Qin Dingfang. He was secretly surprised when he saw the red light in Qin Dingfang's eyes.
Shangguan Minghong said: "I never thought that the famous Prince of Beifu would be so young. He is really a formidable person."
Qin Dingfang said sincerely: "The general is overly praised. Compared with the general's achievements, I am just the light of a firefly. And the general's name has already been heard by me much earlier. I have always hoped that one day I can see the general's style in person. I didn't expect the general to be in person today."
It's really an honor for me to be here in Beifu. It's really flattering for me."
Tian Ying, Lin Yi and Qin Guangmin stood behind Shangguan Minghong.
Lin Yi immediately saw Qin Dingfang's external changes.
The skin is more delicate than before, and the voice has also changed. Especially the red light in the eyes is burning. It is similar to the red light in Ling Ni's eyes when Linghu hides his soul and looks back.
This made Lin Yi immediately think of the "Blood Demon Kung Fu".
Lin Yi was shocked. Did Qin Dingfang also practice the "Blood Demon Kung Fu"?
If Qin Dingfang practices the "Blood Demon Art", he must be practicing the "Blood Demon Book" on Linghu Zanghun's body.
But Linghu Zanghun knew the dangers of "Blood Demon Kung Fu", so why would he let Qin Dingfang practice it?
This made Lin Yi really confused for a moment.
Qin Dingfang and Shangguan Minghong first exchanged polite words with each other, and then Qin Ding conveniently invited Shangguan Minghong into the house.
Qin Dingfang invited Shangguan Minghong into the living room and ordered his men to entertain the accompanying generals well.
Qin Dingfang and Shangguan Minghong took the seats, and the others sat at the bottom. Tian Ying and Master Wu also sat down. Lin Yi and Qin Guangmin stood behind Shangguan Minghong. They looked serious and looked straight.
Qin Dingfang couldn't help but glance at the two of them.
How did Qin Dingfang know that these two people were Lin Yi and the other was his stammering brother-in-law.
After the servant served the tea, the guests of honor began to drink tea and chat.
Shangguan Minghong originally thought that Qin Dingfang would ask him about his purpose, but Qin Dingfang was really calm. Although Qin Dingfang was curious about Shangguan Minghong's intention for his trip, he didn't ask. He just chatted with Shangguan Minghong because Qin Dingfang knew that Shangguan Minghong was fine.
Even if he doesn't ask if he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall, Shangguan Minghong will still have to tell him.
Qin Dingfang is also very experienced now.
Sure enough, even if Qin Dingfang didn't ask, Shangguan Minghong couldn't continue messing with him.
Shangguan Minghong took a sip of tea, then gently placed the tea bowl on the table and said, "King Qin, I have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall today."
Qin Dingfang said: "Oh, general, please tell me if you have anything to do."
Shangguan Minghong said: "I'm here for two things."
Qin Dingfang said: "General, please speak."
Shangguan Minghong said: "I came to Fengxiang yesterday to visit my uncle. As a result, a group of assassins dressed as 'robbers' raided Liu's house. It was really dangerous. Fortunately, those assassins were repelled by my men in the end. We captured one alive, but that man Ning Ning
I won't tell you. So it is difficult to trace the real culprit. I judge that these people are from the Jianghu, and King Qin, you are the King of the North. You have a very high reputation in the Jianghu and have great magical powers, so I would like to ask the King of Qin to check it for me.
The origins of these people.”
When Shangguan Minghong said this, he glanced at Master Wu again.
Mr. Wu hurriedly said: "King Qin, you have to help with this matter. General Shangguan was plotted in our land of Fengxiang, and we have to give an explanation. Let's cooperate to investigate..."
In fact, Mr. Wu was pulled by Shangguan Minghong to cover up others' eyes. Qin Dingfang really thought that Shangguan Minghong was here just for this matter. He had no other suspicions.
Mr. Wu also didn't know Shangguan Minghong's true intention for his trip.
Qin Dingfang and Ximen Xuan glanced at each other intentionally or unintentionally.
The two of them thought that Shangguan Minghong really suspected them. He really came to test the truth.
Qin Dingfang said: "To be honest, General, I have also heard about this matter. I was really shocked when I heard it. General, don't worry, I will mobilize all my strength to investigate this matter. I want to see who has taken the courage of the bear heart and leopard. Dare you dare me?"
He and Mr. Wu assassinated General Shangguan right before his eyes."
Qin Dingfang looked angry.
Then he looked at Shangguan Minghong and said, "Now, general, please tell me the second thing?"
Shangguan Minghong looked at his niece Mu Qin with a smile.
Mu Qin stood up and saluted Qin Dingfang.
Both Qin Dingfang and Ximen Xuan were confused.
Shangguan Minghong said with a smile: "The second thing is for her. This is my niece Mu Qin. I treat her as my own. She has a big hobby, that is, she likes to design, cut and sew her own clothes.
She needs to dress up differently. She heard that Mrs. Qin is the best at this, and the clothes she designs are much better than those of Fengxiang's tailors. So she shouted to follow me and ask Mrs. Qin for skills face to face..."
Only then did Qin Dingfang understand the whole story.
Qin Duoduo loves beauty very much and is also very picky about clothes. Therefore, he likes to delve into designing tailoring styles and dress up differently. His skills in style and matching of clothes are indeed extraordinary. Of course Qin Dingfang knows this.
But Qin Dingfang thought that Qin Duoduo was imprisoned by him and was whipped by him the day before yesterday. If she was allowed to see guests, it might cause trouble.
Qin Ding said conveniently: "This is a trivial matter, but she has been ill recently and is resting in bed. Miss Mu Qin, why don't I teach you another day when she gets better..."
Mu Qin said anxiously: "Prince Qin, I am designing a style now, but there are always shortcomings. I am really anxious. I will ask Madam to give you some pointers. It won't take long. I promise not to let her get tired. In fact, I have long wanted to visit the palace.
I asked for advice. But I dare not... This time my uncle happened to be here, so I can follow him to Beifu..."
Shangguan Minghong smiled and said: "Qin'er, don't worry, King Qin will let you get what you want."
Now that Shangguan Minghong said this, Qin Dingfang really couldn't refuse. If he refused again, it would really be a slap in Shangguan Minghong's face.
Qin Dingfang said to Ximen Xuan: "Ximen, go and inform Madam. Let her prepare to meet the guests."
