Xie Ming

Chapter 556 Entering the Shen Mansion

Xiao Jingchuan and two other men stepped forward and fought off the horse bandits efficiently.

Shen Hongpan stepped forward to negotiate and followed Xiao's plan. He readily agreed to bring people into the mansion to make arrangements for the rest of the story.

But he is stupid and has no common sense.

He was halfway through his words when he saw the girl from the same team, Xiuying, hiding away and running away. He ran towards her without any restraint and left Xiaolang speechless.

After hearing what he saw, the old escort leader Cheng Yong had no choice but to continue serving the enemy and tell them the truth.

"Hehehe"

"Don't blame me, benefactor!"

"This young master of the Shen family has a rather erratic personality. He has always been like this."

"Well, come to think of it, I haven't asked your name yet."

"That way I'll have someone to remember me by later."

The leader of the escort with a long beard bowed and asked.

"Oh, your surname is Xiao."

"Those two are from the same hometown as mine." Xiao Yi bluffed and answered neatly.

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

"it is good."

"It turned out to be Master Xiao."

"When you are away from home, it is great to have one or two fellow countrymen as companions. It is great!"

"Uh"

"Since Young Master Xiao is coming along, we should also go to Yangzhou together."

"Then, we shouldn't stay here for long."

"Let's continue our journey now."

"You three young masters are all masters in martial arts and body movements."

"I feel much more at ease now that I can walk with you three on this second half of the journey."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, what you just said about the matter with Young Master Shen is the relationship between you two."

"We will be traveling together this time. When we reach Yangzhou, I will take the reward and will definitely express my gratitude."

"This trip was originally made because an old friend asked me to help him, so this is my last trip."

"A good beginning and a good end!"

"Thank you for saving my life, young master. I will preserve the last reputation of my escort team."

"This kindness, old man Cheng Yong, is hard to repay in full."

"I hope you won't refuse, sir!"

The escort leader with a long beard was adamant and refused to speak sincerely. After hearing what Xiao Lang said, Xiao felt embarrassed and could not refuse any further, so he turned the man down and left.

So he could only respond vaguely and help to clean up the carriage.

Just like that, Cheng Yong's escort team, together with Xiao Lai and the other two, set out again and headed straight for Yangzhou.
On the way.

On the road, Xiao and old man Cheng Yong were riding in front and they were chatting for a while.

It turns out that Cheng Yong was originally from Chuzhou, and the escort team had always been taking the Chuzhou-Yangzhou route.

Today's situation is purely accidental.

In the past, if there were any gangs along the way, they would be dealt with and nothing serious had ever happened.

It's as dangerous as today. I have never encountered such a dangerous situation before.

That's why the situation was so embarrassing, and many people were injured.

Moreover, Cheng Yong also said that Xiuying in the team was his only granddaughter.

His parents passed away early, and he has been supported by the old man alone in recent years.

I am not young anymore.

For the sake of his granddaughter, the old man Cheng Yong decided to withdraw from the gang and no longer engage in this dangerous business of escorting.

I thought that after I followed the escort into Yangzhou city, I would settle down there.

They found a small shop on the street and opened a stall. The father and son then did some small business and lived a peaceful life.

When Xiao heard about this, he couldn't help but sigh.

I also want to thank the grandfather and grandson for coming here, and I wish them more. I will start my journey again, and I will not repeat the story.
Until the 15th day, at the beginning of the afternoon (before p.m.).

Xiao Xing and two other people followed Shen Hongpan and Cheng Yong's escort team, and they entered Yangzhou city with horses and carriages.

After another quarter of an hour, they arrived at the gate of the spacious residence of the Shen family.

While Chief Escort Chang Hu was leading the escorts in the team to unload and hand over the goods, Xiao Yi did not wait for him to express his gratitude verbally, and hurriedly went into the mansion with Shen Hongpan.

After entering the front yard of the mansion, Xiao turned around and saw that it was Yue Xiu who was following him alone. He was puzzled and hurriedly lowered his voice to follow him.

"Eh? Yue Xiu, where are the people from Changting?" Xiao Xun.

Upon hearing this, Yue Xiu was a little hesitant.

However, he had no reason to hide anything in front of the Duke, so he answered reluctantly.

"Uh"

"Behind, behind."

"He, didn't he offend the girl from the escort team when he was rescuing people? He must be looking for someone outside the house to apologize."

The more you repair, the more ambiguous it is.

Upon hearing this, Xiao was very surprised.

I didn't expect that this kid Changting would suddenly become so angry today.

In the past, those who approached young girls and wives would look at him with annoyance, but now, he is now rushing to find girls to chat with.

It’s a strange thing, a really strange thing.

Immediately, Xiao raised his eyebrows, but didn't care much about it.

After all, there was nothing else going on at the moment. Shen Chaozong of the Shen Mansion had serious matters to attend to, and he had so much to worry about that he had no time to care about this kind of affairs.

Turning around and facing him, Xiao Lang said no more.

The more he repaired the side, the more relieved he was.

Afterwards, following Hong Pan, Xiao and Yue entered the second courtyard and came to the small courtyard in front of the second hall of the Shen Mansion.

What catches the eye are the two tall osmanthus trees planted in the corners of the front yard, with their crowns mostly lowered, leading to the porch at the back.

The breeze blows gently, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers is pleasant to the heart.

There are corridors on both sides of the courtyard, and camellias are planted in front of them. They are all varieties and colors that I can't name, and the flowers are in clusters. They are quite fragrant under the roses.

There were about seven or eight people, leaning against the railing under the corridor, sitting there, surrounded by flowers and willows, and they could not be identified as maids or young ladies.

The clothes are gorgeous and colorful, and the camellia in front of the corridor serves as a backdrop, which is a perfect picture of wealth and prosperity.

Xiao walked in through the door, and the scent of cosmetics wafted towards him in the wind, making both Xiao and Yue feel a little dazed for a moment.

I felt a little restrained and uncomfortable.

"Eh?!"

"ah!"

"Master, it's Master Hong Pan who's back!"

Just when Xiao was feeling unwell, he saw Hong Pan's figure and heard a woman's shouting from somewhere.

Then, a group of girls chattered and turned around the corridor and went towards Hong Pan.

"ah!"

"How did this happen?!"

"Why did you get injured just by going out?"

"Are you injured?"

"Doctor, hurry up, you two, go and call the doctor!"

"What should I do?"

Among them, there was a little girl who was eloquent and had a savage look in her eyes and eyebrows. She was the one who came to the front, giving orders here and there. She herself was cautious and raised the handkerchief in her hand, probably to wipe the blood from the corner of Hongpan's mouth.

But this action actually stung Hongpan.

"Ouch, don't, don't move." Hong Pan shrank his head.

But when he became impatient and lowered his head, he just happened to reveal an opportunity, revealing the appearance of Xiao Lang behind him.

At this moment, because it was the latter part of the journey, Xiao, Gu, and Yue, the three brothers in distress, were sitting in the escort carriage and had some time to come. Moreover, they wanted to see the Shen Mansion later, so they washed their faces with water halfway through the journey and simply tidied up their embarrassed looks.

So now, looking at him again, let alone returning to his former handsome and heroic appearance, he can't get rid of his clean and handsome appearance anyway.
