"You mean, our whereabouts have been known to the Japanese royal family?"
Ximen Hao turned the tea cup in his hand and asked questions knowingly. His acting skills were simply amazing.
"Yes, they came directly to our door last night, and they obviously know our whereabouts very well. Ximen Hao, I think it's better for us to leave as soon as possible. It would be bad if we offend those old guys from the palace."
Bai Lian didn't want to make the matter too big, let alone get into any trouble with the royal family.
Ximen Hao pretended to think for a moment, and then said:
"I'm going to meet them at noon today. It's okay. My sister and I will accompany you. We are your right and left guardians."
As he said that, he glanced at Wu Yan.
"snort!"
Wuyan snorted coldly, but did not refuse.
"Ximen Hao! Making a deal with you is the worst decision in my life! You are a liar!"
Bai Lian looked at Ximen Hao angrily. If she hadn't been so unsure that she could beat Ximen Hao, she would have taken action long ago.
"Hey! Let's make it clear! The young lady testified that the transaction was notarized. And I only have one condition, but you offered ten!"
Ximen Hao cried out that he was wronged.
"Hmph! Did you also say that among the ten items, did you say that I will be the leader? I have decided to leave here!"
White Lotus got into a temper.
"Hehe! But don't forget, among the conditions, we must ensure that when war breaks out, the people of the Japanese country will be in chaos. And I feel that cooperation will help us develop more."
"Besides, I didn't say I had to cooperate, I just went to see what conditions the other party offered. Little Holy Mother, why don't you take the opportunity to make a deal? Don't worry, Master Hao won't share the dividends with you."
Ximen Hao said, took out the Yuanli revolver and started playing with it in his hand.
"You threaten me?!"
Bai Lian looked at the famous hidden weapon and said to herself: Ximen Hao is indeed unreliable, and the boat of friendship can capsize easily.
"Little Holy Mother, you have to know that you are not the only light mage around Master Hao."
Ximen Hao turned the Yuanli revolver, admitting that he threatened the opponent.
Bai Lian looked at Wu Yan. She really wanted to see Wu Yan stand up and say that he would not collude with Ximen Hao.
However, she was disappointed and Wuyan chose to remain silent.
"Okay, you win. Anyway, if anything happens, you two will be responsible for it. Especially you! Ximen Hao! You must be more attractive to the Japanese royal family than me!"
Bai Lian looked at Ximen Hao fiercely, wanting to take a bite.
"Clever! You made the right choice."
Ximen Hao put away the Yuanli Revolver, then looked outside, stood up and said:
"Let's go, the three of us are going to meet Suzuki Shi's envoy."
"Where are your four queens?"
Wuyan asked.
"That girl, Yunlong took her out to play early in the morning. Oh, by the way, Yingzi also went with her."
Ximen Hao had already sent the others away, and if it wasn't for safety, Wuyan wouldn't have let him go.
"Isn't it still early?"
Bai Lian glanced outside.
"Let's have some fun together! How cool it is to have two beautiful elves in the company of each other! Let's go, the future emperor of the empire will take you shopping. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
Ximen Hao stood up, shook his head coquettishly, put his hands on his hips, and waited for Ermei to take his arm.
However, what was waiting was the contempt of Wu Yan and Bai Lian, and then the two masked men swung their big butts and left the room, like two proud swans.
"Haha! Woman!"
Ximen Hao touched his nose, and it turned out that women are all petty.
…
Long-term tea house, elegant room.
Ximen Hao, Bai Lian, and Wuyan sat on one side, opposite Cao Zhi and Suzuki Ai, who looked confused.
Yes, I was just confused, because the man and two women across from me all had their faces covered.
A red one-piece cloak hid the whole person inside.
A white gauze dress, wearing a white gauze cover.
And the man was dressed in white and carrying a black hat.
"Haha, the three of you are dressed so uniquely."
Cao Zhi was delighted, these three people actually peed into a pot.
"Haha, I can't help it. The girl is too beautiful and the boy is too handsome. I'm afraid of causing a murder."
Ximen Hao said in a hoarse voice.
"Um?"
Wu Yan and Bai Lian's eyelids twitched, and at the same time they were wondering, is Ximen Hao's voice known to everyone in Tianqing?
"Mr. Cao, Your Royal Highness the Princess, this is my right protector, and this is my left protector."
Bai Lian introduced Ximen Hao and Wu Yan, but did not reveal their names.
"Haha, two protectors, I am Cao Zhi, the staff of the third prince."
Cao Zhi saluted.
"I, the princess of Japan, please take good care of me!"
Suzuki Ai saw that these three people were strong men, so he showed great respect.
Bai Lian nodded in return, and then said:
"Actually, I didn't plan to come today because I didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family."
"Oh? Then why is the saint here again?"
Cao Zhi shook his feather fan gently.
Bai Lian glanced at her left guardian Ximen Hao, and then said:
"I'm curious. I'm curious about what conditions you can offer, and what we need from Bailian Dao."
"Hahaha! I didn't expect the White Lotus Saint to be so straightforward, so I won't go around in circles."
Cao Zhi laughed, then straightened his face and said in a deep voice:
"The Saint must also know that the royal family is fiercely fighting for the crown prince position, and His Highness the Third Prince developed late, so he is at a disadvantage in terms of power in the palace, so he can only find another way."
"Find another way? You mean..."
Bai Lian somewhat understood, but was also a little confused, and even thought that Suzuki was trying to use the people to rebel.
"Ahem, I think your Third Highness wants to follow the line of popular opinion, right?"
Ximen Hao suddenly said in a hoarse voice.
"Oh? This Protector Zuo also understands the public opinion? The Holy Lady really has many talented people under her command."
Cao Zhi took the opportunity to flatter Ximen Hao.
"Haha, I don't know him well, I just read it from a book called "The Legend of Ximen Hao". He is a great sage."
Ximen Hao shamelessly praised himself.
Except for Suzuki Ai, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, the eyes of everyone present almost rolled to the top of their heads.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
"This... Although Ximen Hao is a great sage, he had the help of gods back then. But if we, the Third Highness, want to take advantage of this battle, we can only rely on the image of the saint among the people."
Cao Zhi got off the donkey along the slope and flattered Ximen Hao.
"Mr. Cao, the people believe in the White Lotus Way because I can bless them and cure their illnesses. But I cannot make them believe in His Highness. I am afraid that this will disappoint Mr. Cao."
"Hahaha! The saint is serious. We don't mean to make people believe in the White Lotus Way. We just need you to promote the virtues of our Highness when you are preaching."
"Virtue? What virtues does he have?"
Bai Lian's words immediately aroused Suzuki Ai's displeasure, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that her brother really didn't have any virtues.
