Chapter 487: Beautiful Woman Blocking the Door
August 16, half past You time (around 6pm on the second day after Xiao Lang returned to Beijing).

After the conferment of the title of Duke was completed, Xiao Jingchuan saw that all the people in the palace had evacuated, and he could not wait any longer and rushed out of the new palace, the Duke Jingguo Mansion.

He spurred his horse and headed straight for the bank of Qinhuai River, Dongpailou Street, where Xiao'e's private residence was!
Halfway through the journey, Zhizhong, a group of Jinyiwei subordinates, came after them on horseback.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao!"

"Wait for me, wait." Zhi Zhongyu came from behind and rode fast in front!

Seeing the situation, Xiao Jingchuan turned his head and slowed down while riding.

"Why did you come here just now?!"

"If you don't get there, I think I'll go by myself!" Xiao Hui.

"Ugh"

"Below the city of Nanjing, there are all kinds of forces, and you are the focus of attention now, the Duke who is so popular that he is extremely popular. Shouldn't I make arrangements along the way?"

"Do you know there's someone watching you from behind?!"

"If I hadn't blocked it for you, Yu'e would have been exposed!" Zhizhong was quite complaining about Xiao Zhi's casual and reckless behavior.

After hearing this, Xiao Lang seemed helpless and kept silent.

"Hi!"

"Okay, okay!"

"I'll just consider it as something I owe you!"

"Let's go!"

"Follow me, let's go through the side alleys and don't hang around on the main street!"

"Come!"

After Zhizhong finished speaking, he waved his hand without saying anything more. He greeted him and led him to the front, then took Xiao Jingchuan and turned into the alley next to him!

About two quarters of an hour later, the red sun was setting in the west, and Qiu and Xiao walked side by side into the alley on Dongpailou Street.

In the middle of the alley ahead is the Shen family's private residence.

"Eh? Feiyu, this alley is so quiet!"

"Not far away, the Qinhuai River is bustling with people, how can it be here?"

Look, it's a quiet alley with no one around. Xiao Lai speaks casually, expressing his curiosity.

"Haha, it's okay, just don't worry!"

"I've ordered the Royal Guards to block this place from front to back. Usually, few people can get close to your Xiao'e!"

"Besides, isn't it you, Old Xiao, who is here in person today? How can I not pay attention?!"

Zhizhong left with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao was worried about the two sisters and could hardly smile. He only managed to raise the corners of his mouth.

As they were talking, two horses arrived at the door of the private residence!
"Uu——"

Xiao Lang followed Zhizhong's finger, reined in his horse, and jumped off the horse!
He took two steps toward the door and glanced left and right.

"Don't worry, everything is arranged outside, no one will disturb you!"

Seeing Xiao's cautious look, Zhizhong dismounted from his horse, came up to him and said something to make up for it.

"Um?!"

"You, you want to go in with me too?!" Xiao asked.

"Oh, it's okay for you to just treat me as your permanent attendant, right?!"

"I have sent people to investigate this place. In addition to Yu'e, there is also Xue Zhong, the former housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion who followed me all the way from Beijing, and a local woman!"

"As for the inner chamber's internal affairs, we only protect those who need to be protected from the outside and are not allowed to enter, so we don't know!"

"You and Xiao'e will go upstairs to discuss this later. I have to stay downstairs and keep an eye on the people for you, right?!"

"Okay, stop wasting time!"

"Just keep knocking on the door!" Zhizhong said.

After hearing this, Xiao also understood and didn't say any more nonsense.

Boom boom boom!
Knock on the door three times
But after waiting for a while, no one responded.
Xiao Jingchuan exhaled in one breath and asked urgently three times.

Boom, boom, boom!
The force gradually increases!

After another half a while, it was time for Xiao Lang to knock on the door again!

Suddenly, a voice was heard from inside the door.

"Come on, come on!"

"Oh, which one?"

"What's the hurry?"

It was a woman's voice, and her tone was impatient, with a Nanjing accent.

As he was muttering, there was another sound of light footsteps.

creak
As he approached, he paused. Suddenly, the door of the private house opened a crack. A beautiful woman poked her head out and looked out.

Her head swayed as she tilted her head, she closed her eyes and stared at Xiao Lang's body, then turned her head to look at Zhizhong beside her.

At this moment, Xiao changed into ordinary clothes when he left the house, and only wore light armor on his waist and wrists. Zhizhong was dressed in casual clothes and a long gown at this moment, making it difficult to tell his identity.

Then the beautiful woman looked around, feeling that she couldn't understand the two men's intentions, so she tried to ask.

"You, who are you?!"

"What are you doing?!"

"You knocked on the wrong door!"

The woman may not want to get involved, and when she sees that the visitor is someone she doesn't know, she will immediately want to say goodbye and leave, not bothering to pay any attention.

But before she could make any move with her hands, Xiao Jingchuan hurriedly came over and put his hand on the door, blocking the way inside.

"Uh"

"hehe."

"Big sister, my name is Xiao Jingchuan!"

"I'm here to look for Yu'e!"

"Please ask Xiao'e to come out and see me!"

Xiao was afraid that there would be a double door on the opposite side, so he stepped forward and put his hand on the edge of the door, and then told this story.

When she heard the name Xiao'e, the beautiful woman's face changed instantly, and a look of alarm and fear appeared in her eyes.
"Small, what do you mean small?"

"No!"

"You, you've come to the wrong place, please go back!"

"please"

The beautiful woman began to panic and tried her best to lock the person out of the door!

But no matter how she thought, she was just a woman after all, how could her strength compete with Xiao Lang? !

Seeing that the beautiful woman was acting strangely, Xiao Jingchuan frowned with worry. He turned his head to look at Yan Zhizhong's face, asking if something went wrong.

At the moment, Zhizhong was not aware of the details of the situation, so he seemed anxious and took a step forward to add a sentence to the conversation.

"Haha, big sister, we do have an old relationship with Miss Yu'e!"

"My old friend is here, I hope you can tell the young lady to come down and meet me!"

"Ms. Yu'e will know who we are at first sight!" Zhizhong said.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman became even more panicked and took a step back unconsciously, but she still tried to maintain her words.

“Ouch!”

"You, which one of you are?!"

"No, there is no such thing as Xiao'e. You two gentlemen have found the wrong person!"

"Well, let's go somewhere else and look for it!"

The beautiful woman expressed her opinion briefly, but when she saw that there were two men blocking the door, she became afraid and tried to close the door again.

But Xiao Lang was worried about Xiao E's safety, so how could he be willing to give in like this? !

Seeing that the woman was not cooperating, Xiao Jingchuan gritted his teeth and didn't care anymore. He exerted force with his wrists and elbows, and with a loud bang, he pushed the door open completely!

"Hey! You, you guys!"

"Who are you?"

"It's not easy to force your way in!"

The beautiful woman trembled at this, her lips shaking. She suppressed her fear and stood with her hands on her hips in front of Xiao and Qiu who were stepping forward.

"Eh!"

"If you go any further, I'll scream!"

"This is Nanjing, the southern capital, where the emperor lives!"

"You dare?!"

The beautiful woman was unforgiving and would not let anyone into her house at all!

"Xiao'e!"

"Xiao'e?!"

But Xiao Lang did not tolerate her. He rushed in and walked into the room. With a flick of his arm, the beautiful woman was swept aside, and he shouted loudly into the room twice.

"Hey?!"

"you you!"

Xiao and Qiu took advantage of the situation and broke into the house. The beautiful woman squeezed to the side with her arms raised high, feeling unwilling.

Or maybe she was really afraid that he would harm Xiao E, so in a hurry, she picked up the broom sticking at the wall, and hit Xiao Lang's head and face with it.
