Chapter 261 The Miao Youth is a Proud Male Supporting Character (38)
The next day, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto the wooden floor of the inn.
Shang Meng had already gotten up early. She had already fully accepted the fact that her brother Shang Xun would join this journey last night.
Looking at her royal brother's deep love, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her royal brother would fall in love with a man. But if it was Lin Shen, she wouldn't find it strange, as it seemed that he should be loved by everyone.
The five of them set out together and embarked on a journey to the Southern Dynasty.
Along the way, the relationship between them was harmonious. There were occasional small quarrels, but these were harmless and instead added a bit of fun to the journey.
In this way, after many days, they finally arrived at the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty, which was the largest state of the Jin Dynasty - Qingzhou.
After arriving in Qingzhou, they rested for a while and then prepared to go directly to Zhang's house.
Su Hebei still remembered the location of the Zhang family, so the four of them, led by him, headed directly towards the Zhang family.
The Zhang family's home was not far from the downtown area, and naturally not far from the inn where they were staying, so when the five people arrived at the Zhang family's home, the sun had just reached the zenith.
The martial arts world is now headed by the Zhang family. The furnishings of the Zhang family are naturally luxurious, and the disciples coming and going make it look quite imposing.
The five people stood in front of Zhangjia Villa, paused, looked at each other, and then walked forward side by side.
Outside the gate, two gatekeeper disciples wearing blue and white disciple uniforms saw the five people coming, especially the young man in strange clothing, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
One of the disciples asked coldly, "What do you want?"
Su Hebei stepped forward, smiled politely, and replied, "We are here to visit the head of the Zhang family."
The two disciples looked at each other and sized up the five people. The handsome young man made them blush and their aura weakened a little.
"Tell me your name." said a disciple.
Lin Shen looked back at Shang Xun and Shang Meng, and they nodded in understanding.
Su Hebei also understood something, and he moved closer to the disciple and continued, "We are from the Northern Territory, and this is a distinguished guest from the Northern Territory."
He paused, lowered his voice and continued: "To be honest, this is my master, the Emperor Shang Xun of Shang State."
The disciple stared blankly in the direction Suhebei pointed. The man was wearing a black and red robe and a golden crown on his head. He indeed had the temperament of an emperor.
But he did not confirm it immediately, but asked doubtfully: "Do you have any evidence?"
Su Hebei didn't say anything, but Shang Xun behind him seemed a little impatient, frowned, and said in a cold and intimidating voice: "Why haven't you reached an agreement yet?"
The oppressive feeling around him made the two disciples dare not hesitate any longer, and they quickly invited the five people in. "Dear guests, please come in. We will go and inform the head of the family."
Shang Xun secretly exchanged a glance with Lin Shen, his eyes filled with unshakable pride, and Lin Shen couldn't help wanting to laugh.
Several people were invited into an ancient hall. Five of them sat down under the guidance of the attendants. Shang Xun and Shang Meng were arranged to sit in the first seats.
After a while, someone brought in some fragrant tea, and the hall was filled with a faint tea aroma.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and several people looked outside at the same time.
A middle-aged man walked in. He was tall and strong, his skin was a little dark due to being outside all year round, and he had a neatly trimmed beard. One could tell at a glance that he was the head of the Zhang family.
The man had a warm smile on his face, and his shrewd eyes swept across the faces of several people. When his gaze fell on Lin Shen, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and for a moment he couldn't look away.
The boy was wearing a dark blue dress with a silver chain around his waist. His hair was braided into several small braids and he wore a silver chain. He looked really handsome.
It was like a gift from God to the world. The man had never seen such a beautiful person before and couldn't help but lose his composure.
Yu Wuyan, who was next to Lin Shen, noticed the man's gaze and silently stood in front of Lin Shen, blocking the man's sight.
The man came back to his senses, and a friendly smile appeared on his face again. He walked up to the group and said, "I heard that several distinguished guests have come from the Northern Territory Merchant Country. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
His eyes were still unconsciously on Lin Shen's face, with deep fascination and covetousness, and for a moment he did not notice Su Hebei.
Shang Xun's face darkened, and he spoke in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, I came here to discuss something important."
The head of the Zhang family was stunned for a moment. When he heard the word "I", he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He thought these people were liars, but the scene before him did not seem to be the case.
Shang Xun did not hesitate and took out a black jade pendant from his waist, which was engraved with a dragon pattern and a few words.
When the man saw the jade pendant, his eyes widened. He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "It is an honor for me to have His Majesty Shang come here! I just don't know what the King of Shang wants to do."
Shang Xun hung the jade pendant back on his waist, gently flicked the non-existent dust off his clothes, and said in a cold voice: "Of course there is something wrong."
The head of the Zhang family nodded quickly and told the servants: "Please clean up a few rooms for the distinguished guests."
"Please go back to your rooms and have some rest. I will host a banquet for you tonight." He said to Lin Shen and the others with a smile.
He didn't dare to look in the direction of the young man. He no longer had any other ideas. No matter how good-looking the young man was, he didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about him. After all, he was the King of Shang's man.
"Please, King Shang."
Shang Xun and Lin Shen nodded, then followed him.
After Shang Xun and the head of the Zhang family left together, Lin Shen gently withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Su Hebei.
Su Hebei smiled slightly and nodded, as if to indicate that everything was going as planned.
Afterwards, the four of them followed the servants arranged by the Zhang family back to the yard that had been cleaned up for them.
They were arranged in the same yard, which made it convenient for them to take care of each other.
The yard has a quiet environment, with various flowers and plants planted on both sides of the stone paths. In the middle is a spacious courtyard with several stone piles arranged in an orderly manner and covered with soft cushions. It looks like a resting place specially prepared for guests.
Several people sat down on the stone pillars, feeling the tranquility and harmony in the courtyard.
After sitting down, Su Hebei nodded to Shang Meng, Yu Wuyan and Lin Shen in turn, then stood up without saying anything more.
His movements were quick and decisive, and clearly had a clear purpose.
He walked towards the exit of the yard with firm steps and without the slightest hesitation.
Su Hebei's figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the yard, leaving the three of them drinking tea leisurely, and the yard fell into silence again.
The sun shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows. The breeze blows gently, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants. Everything seems so peaceful, yet it seems to be hiding some impending changes.
