CEO Comes from Ancient Times - C216
She wasn’t afraid of thieves stealing, only thieves missing things out. Being too generous wasn’t a good thing either. The waiter who made a profit from his rewards had his eyes on her!
When he was questioned, Xi Sanmo’s heart skipped a beat because she knew that if the waiter said something like that in front of Xiao Budian, Xiao Bufan would definitely ask and look everywhere for her. Then, she really wouldn’t be able to hide from the monk.
Beautiful man, save me!
He put down his teacup, took out another 10 taels of silver and pushed it in front of the waiter, “You can see that I am not from here. I am only here to do business with you. Because this little brother had been named Miss Sikong for many years, he took the opportunity to come over and take a look. But since he had just arrived, he did not like the soil and water, so he went downstairs to take a look. Before he comes back, please let my mother know that I am a little tired and would like to rest for a while, so that she will not send anyone over for the time being. “Actually, in the outside world, one just needs to be at ease. Money will never be a problem.”
“Understood, I understand. Please rest well, I will pass the message to mother.” With money, it was naturally easy to talk. With a “sou” sound, the waiter grabbed the silver and put it into his sleeve. He agreed and disappeared in a flash.
Whoosh!
Xi Sanmo, who was lying on the roof, let out a long breath, but his body was shaking even harder. It was so cold!
Xiao Budian, ah, Xiao Budian, you should go home and wash up. I’ve lived two lives and I’ve never been in such a sorry state.
He had lost so much face!
While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the melodious sound of a zither from below. She turned around and looked down, only to see that the beautiful man had already stood up and sat down in front of the zither, gracefully playing the zither.
The melody was something she had never heard before, but it was smooth and lively. The tune was especially melodious and lively, as if the spring wind in March had brushed past it, or as if the July sun had jumped over the land.
“Dong Dong Dong …” However, just as the zither music was getting louder, a knock on the door sounded out once more.
The sound of the zither also came to a halt. The pretty boy used his slender hands to lightly press the zither strings. His magnetic voice was wrapped around the music that had yet to disperse. It actually had a kind of intoxicating gentleness. “Come in.”
The door opened, and the first to enter was Xiao Budian. He was dressed the same as Huo Monarch, but the thing that was different between him and Huo Monarch was that he did not look very similar to Xiao Budian in G City. The only similarity was that he had a pair of bright and lively eyes.
Luo Shan followed closely behind him. Her face was filled with rage and her hair was a mess. Her hands were tied behind her back. She was not free.
Meow meow!
How could this be? She was the one who let Luo Shan deal with Xiao Bufan …
Xi Sanmo was surprised, but the pretty boy was still sitting there, thinking about something as his face turned blank.
Actually, he wasn’t in a daze, but he never would have thought that the leader who came to find them was an extraordinary general who had fought many battles on the battlefield.
The general was a trusted aide of Prince Wei, so he had to do something important for him. Now that he had gathered so many people to look for someone, he must be looking for someone he wanted.
He was looking for the person he wanted, while the woman was looking for his mistress. This way, he would be able to push her out of the house. The woman hiding on the roof was not an ordinary girl, but a woman who had some sort of relationship with the Prince!
His heart felt inexplicably sour!
His face, inexplicably, was filled with water!
“As the New Year is approaching, we were supposed to bring the imperial city guards to investigate, so as to ensure the safety of the capital city. From the looks of it, Young Master doesn’t look like a local. May I ask where did Young Master come from? Is there only the young master in this room? ” The pretty boy recognized Xiao Budian, but Xiao Budian didn’t recognize him. He held the saber by his waist and walked into the room. His sharp eyes scanned the entire space from top to bottom.
The handsome man didn’t get up. He just sat there quietly and said in a lukewarm voice, “I come from the Kingdom of Yin Mountain, and my ancestors helped me with my business, mainly my small business of cloth. This is my first time coming to the imperial court, but I am not a stranger to the imperial court. When I was a child, I would often hear stories about the imperial court from my father. I’ve heard too much, so I wanted to come over to take a look.
Xiao Budian was not the least bit suspicious. He sized him up, saw his handsome appearance and his noble aura, and replied, “He came all the way here, why is he alone? No one is going with you? ”
The pretty boy laughed wickedly: “My father has strict discipline and the family has a fierce wife. He usually doesn’t dare to be impudent at home, but if I don’t leave him now, once the news spreads to his wife, I’m afraid I’ll be guilty again when I go back. We are both men. Your excellency, I believe you understand my feelings of hunger. ”
No matter what he said or what he said, he still didn’t understand. Xiao Budian remained calm as he pretended not to care as he said: “Since that’s the case, please allow us to search once more. If there’s no problem, then Young Master can grant our wish.”
Search, search as you wish!
The handsome man got up and made way. Three soldiers came in and searched under the bed and the wardrobe, they checked every wardrobe and every place they suspected, they even moved out their clothes and searched carefully, as if a man of that size could turn into a needle and hide inside.
After searching for a while, he was still unable to find anything.
Xi Sanmo heaved a sigh of relief nervously. She had pushed the tile away, but her hands were already numb from the cold. When she lost her grip, the tile slid down two slots, making a loud sound.
When the people below heard the voice, the pretty boy’s eyebrows knitted together without leaving a trace. Then, they relaxed as his sharp eyes stared at Xiao Budian.
Xiao Budian immediately stopped and turned his body to look at the sky. Surprised by the sight, Xi Sumo wittily mimicked a cat’s meow. “Meow meow …”
“What are you looking at? It’s a wild cat. I already told you that she’s afraid of heights. Even if you lent her 10 or 8 guts, she wouldn’t dare to go to the roof.” Luo Shan was extremely annoyed. She walked over to Xiao Budian’s side and ruthlessly hit him, exclaiming in a low voice.
Only then did Xiao Budian dispel his doubts and walked out of the room. He even helped him close the door.
He was afraid that Xiao Budian would kill his way back into the house, so he sat there playing with half of his zither. Hearing Xiao Budian’s voice, he flew out of the window, flew to the roof, and carried the frozen Xi Sanmo into the room, wrapping him in a blanket to keep him warm.
“Why didn’t you say that you’re afraid of heights?” The good-looking guy felt guilty and poured her a cup of hot water.
Xi Sanmo took the hot water. His hands were still trembling and his lips were as white as paper. “Who would care if it were high or low at a time like this? Running away is the way to go.”
“Forgive my blabbering, but I wonder why you want to leave? Why should he avoid them? The man may seem a bit cold and detached, but the woman is a scheming girl. Is the girl leaving home to vent her anger, avoid difficulties, or avoid marriage? ” The good-looking guy wanted to keep her warm with his inner strength, but he thought that men and women shouldn’t get close to each other, and he hadn’t known her for long, so he gave up on this frivolous act. He sat on the bed, looking at Xi Sanmo and waiting for an answer.
If she wanted to avoid marriage, it would be hard to avoid it. Then she would never become a woman related to Prince Duan!
However, Xi Sumo didn’t know what he was thinking and smiled dryly, “Even if I don’t get mad at him, it’s not hard to avoid marriage. I’m just making a fuss about it with a bad man. Let’s see if he dares to anger me again in the future.”
Her heart broke. The pretty boy could hear the cracking sound. If it was to hide from marriage, he could save her from the fire. No, he could only lift the bar and she would have to return to that person’s side!
Furthermore, bad man, isn’t this obviously referring to the prince? If not, why would Xiao Budian appear tonight?
Laughter, somewhat forced!
His heart was extremely dejected!
He also didn’t think that the door to his love would open at this moment, catching him off guard and making him want to seize this woman in front of him for himself.
The pretty boy did not want to give up just like that. His wise eyes flashed, seemingly unintentional, but in fact, he was purposefully identifying Xi Sanming: “I’ve known you for so long, how should I address you?”
Caught off guard, Xi Sanming also woke up. He hurriedly swallowed the warm tea in his mouth and laughed innocently: “My surname is Xi, my name is Sanmo, my father is a waiter of the imperial court. May I ask how I should address you, Young Master? ”
“Chu Nantian.” Chu Nantian wanted to die. Servants and servants, Xi Sanmo, wasn’t that the would-be wangfei that the emperor assigned to Prince Duan?
The backers weren’t that hard, so he could think of a way, but could he still take her as his would-be wangfei, the one chosen by the emperor?
Furthermore, she was already famous and had been living in the Residence of Xi since the surprise return.
He had wanted to see her, but he had never imagined that he would meet her on the first day of the Heavenly Court. Was it a coincidence, or was it the will of the heavens or the will of the heavens?
Duke Duan, why is your life always so good? Why does the heavens even want to give you preferential treatment when you’re a woman?
No, God favors you, but I don’t like you, Simmer. I want to fight with you!
Xi Sumo, however, did not know what he was thinking. He felt that he was Huo Monan, but there was no conflict in his heart as that was the trust of his family, “Just now on the roof, I heard what Young Master Chu said. “Young master Chu, from Yinshan Country, we have made cloth and silk as our inheritance. We have a lovely wife in our family, how dare you …”
Chu Nantian did not want to be misunderstood by Xi Sanming, and he did not want to use this as an excuse to keep an unnecessary distance between them. He did not wait for her to finish, and interrupted her, “Everything that I said just now was just to deal with their story. In fact, our family did not marry nor have a concubine, and we are still alone.”
Oh! So it’s like that!
Actually, she wanted to ask what was his wife’s name and if it was Qin Susu. She wanted to ask what her life was like, but since that was the case, she could only choose another topic to chat about. If there was anyone else in her family came to the capital, what kind of goods were they looking for?
Chu Nantian answered and took the opportunity to make a request, “This is my first time in the capital, so I’m not very familiar with it. I just want to get some new stock back so that we can have more demand in the market. “Miss Xi is from Beijing, I wonder if you could be my guide and accompany me around the famous Weaving Workshop in Beijing.”
“This …” Huo Li’s health wasn’t good and he was angry for a long time. She was worried that he would be angered and she would teach him a lesson tonight. If she accompanied Chu Nantian tomorrow, then she couldn’t go back because she was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Chu Nan Tian’s sharp eyes were like a machine that could read the thoughts of others. He saw through Xi Sanming’s thoughts and gently smiled: “I know what Miss Xi is worried about, but lifting a stick is also important to skill, will one or two days have any effect? Yes, but it’s definitely not as effective as ten to eight days. The longer he loses you, the more he’ll understand your importance. Miss Xi, rather than having three days of sulking with him, it would be better to settle the matter right away. Of course, I won’t be so overbearing as to let Miss Xi accompany me for eight to ten days. Three days is enough. ”
This was something that Xi Sanmo understood and agreed to. If Huo Li was in his prime, she would definitely agree to it. But now was not the right time. Three days was too long and her heart would ache …
Seeing that she was hesitating and uncertain, Chu Nantian took another step forward, “The first person I came to the capital to meet was Miss Xi, it is my fortune to be able to help Miss Xi today, I do not ask for her return in the future, I only hope that Miss Xi can fulfill my little wish, otherwise I will be cheated by evil merchants, when I go back I will not be able to answer to my father.”
Xi Sanmo looked at him. His clear eyes were sincere and moving. Everyone said that he wanted to repay her kindness with a drop of water. What he had done for her tonight was more than just a drop of water.
Fine, although she did not know the route to the capital, nor did she know what kind of workshop there was in the capital. However, one more person meant that she had to be extra careful. She agreed to leave together tomorrow.
Chu Nantian was very happy. He gave a bright smile that was like melting snow, “You are tired today, go to sleep early. I will play the flute for you and when you fall asleep, I will get mother to get another room. “Miss Xi, you can rest assured that I will not take advantage of you in the face of danger.”
“I know!” Although their names were different, they were just one and the same. Hou Manan’s character guaranteed, how bad would Chu Nantian’s character be. Xi Sumo was very confident in him, he didn’t care about anything else, he just laid down and went to sleep.
Chu Nantian stood by the window and played the flute, the flute melody was melodious and melodious, the sound was soft and smooth like a piece of chocolate sliding down his throat, sweet but not greasy, Xi Sanmo fell asleep listening to it.
However, on the tree in the distance, a masked man in black was quietly listening to the flute music. Unlike Xi Sanmo, Xi Sanmo was listening to the music, but he was listening to the language. From the flute music, he heard a new mission, “Tomorrow, leave the capital and return in three days. During these three days, pay attention to the movements in the Xi Residence.
