After making up his mind, Zhengjun Duncan did not hesitate and immediately asked the driver to turn around and go straight to the meeting place.
The
meeting place was in a restaurant, not far from the palace. It was only ten
minutes away from the halfway point.
When
Zhengjun Duncan and Liu Qiang walked into the restaurant, they found that it
was empty. Except for a few reception staff, there was no guest.
It
was obvious that the restaurant had been cleared.
"You
two, please come this way. The general is waiting upstairs."
After
entering the door, the owner of the restaurant personally greeted them and took
Zhengjun Duncan and the two to the private room on the second floor.
At
this moment, in the private room.
General
Longwei, the general of the city guards, and the university scholar of
Tianzhang Pavilion were all drinking tea leisurely.
The
three of them talked and laughed, and the chat was very heated. It was not
until Zhengjun Duncan and Liu Qiang entered the door that the three stopped
talking and cast their eyes on Zhengjun Duncan.
They
were very curious, who on earth could let the little prince meet privately? And
he stayed in the palace for dinner.
After
all, this was a treatment that even the three of them didn't have.
However,
after seeing him in person, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little
disappointed.
Zhengjun
Duncan was of medium build and ordinary appearance. He looked ordinary and
nothing special.
If
I had to say, he had a very straight back, giving people a feeling of
fearlessness and integrity.
"Are
you here? Sit down."
General
Long Wei looked him up and down, his tone was neither salty nor bland.
While
speaking, he sat as steady as a mountain, with no intention of standing up to
greet him.
On
the surface, it was a dinner invitation, but now this attitude was more like a
superior meeting a subordinate, revealing aloofness everywhere.
The
other two people also had similar expressions, and it seemed that they didn't
take Zhengjun Duncan seriously at all.
Or,
they deliberately wanted to give the other party a warning.
For
this opening, although Liu Qiang frowned secretly, he dared not say anything in
anger, but had to smile throughout the audience to actively ease the
atmosphere.
"General,
this is the third son of the Duncan family. As soon as he heard that you wanted
to treat him to a midnight snack, he immediately rushed over without
stopping." Liu Qiang tried to smooth things over, and at the same time,
there was a hint in his words.
They
came to accept the invitation so politely, can you at least be polite?
"I
know, you have nothing to do here, go out." General Longwei waved his
hand, as if he was chasing away flies.
A
small deputy general with no power and influence was not qualified to listen to
their conversation.
"General,
this..."
Liu
Qiang looked around and seemed a little embarrassed.
Talking
with the door open is one thing, and talking with the door closed is another.
If
he was not accompanying him, Zhengjun Duncan might not be able to resist these
three old foxes.
If
something happened, he would not only be unable to explain to the Duncan
family, but also to the little prince.
"What?
My words don't work? Do you want me to say it a second time?" General
Longwei's eyes turned cold, and he seemed very impatient.
"When
did a small deputy general become so arrogant? He dared to disobey the order of
the general? Do you think your life is too long?" Tianzhang Pavilion Grand
Secretary suddenly said.
"Old
Liu, you go out first, I will chat with the adults. I believe that they will
not embarrass me with their status." Zhengjun Duncan smiled.
"Okay,
I'll wait for you outside." Liu Qiang had no choice but to nod.
But
before leaving, he secretly gave Zhengjun Duncan a look, indicating that he
should be careful.
Before
coming, the two had agreed that if there was anything wrong, they would
immediately notify the young prince for rescue.
This
place is not far from the palace, and it should be in time to call for help.
As
the door of the private room slowly closed, the atmosphere in the room became
solemn.
But
Zhengjun Duncan seemed to have no idea and sat down on the other side
leisurely.
This
calm and relaxed look made the three people a little unsure.
Dare
to come alone to the appointment, is it bold? Or is it fearless?
"General,
I wonder why you invited me here?" Zhengjun Duncan took the initiative to
break the solemn atmosphere.
"I
heard that you entered the palace today?" General Longwei asked.
"Yes."
Zhengjun Duncan nodded.
"I
also heard that you had dinner with the little prince?" General Longwei
asked again.
"That's
right." Zhengjun Duncan nodded again.
"Very
good."
General
Longwei smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that you are a smart person,
and I like to talk to smart people."
If
the person in front of him pretends to be confused, then he will inevitably
have to use some tricks.
Fortunately,
the other party answered very straightforwardly and frankly, which saved him a
lot of effort.
"I
ask you, when you had dinner with the little prince, did the little prince say
anything?" Tianzhang Pavilion University Scholar couldn't help but
interrupt and asked.
"The
little prince said a lot, I don't know what this lord is referring to?" Zhengjun
Duncan asked with a smile.
"Why
ask? Of course it is..."
The
Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion almost blurted out the answer, but he
quickly reacted halfway through the sentence and coughed twice to cover up his
embarrassment.
Some
things cannot be said on the table. Once the window paper is broken, it is easy
to be criticized.
As
an old fox in the officialdom, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
"Of
course what is it? Please tell me, sir." Zhengjun Duncan asked again
without changing his expression.
This
time, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was choked. - Ton
