The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Chapter 18: The Innocent and Infatuated Young Man

Xu Yao found it strange that there were many people who had the same idea as her.

Pei Shuo sat in a private room on the second floor, listening to the storytelling downstairs and fell into deep thought.

The assassination of the Third Prince had just happened, and people outside had already started praising him like this. Even if Pei Shuo was not young and ignorant, he knew that something was wrong.

"What are you looking at?"

A man's voice came from the door. The man walked over with a folding fan in his hand and sat opposite Pei Shuo.

The man looked downstairs, and suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of someone and he looked at him twice.

If Xu Yao looked up, he would find that this person was the young man who beat up the shopkeeper in the Bai family silver shop that day.

"What did my cousin see?"

Pei Shuo also noticed the change in his eyes and asked curiously.

Bai Lingzhi smiled and said in a charming and suave manner: "I saw a pretty young lady, she is very pretty, so I took a few more glances at her."

Pei Shuo knew his romantic nature and did not intend to continue the topic. Instead, he asked him, "Did you bring back anything good from your trip to the sea this time?"

"You came to see me in a hurry, just to ask for a few good things from me? You and I haven't seen each other for a year, don't you miss me at all?"

Pei Shuo snorted coldly: "You have been wandering around the world and have been to so many wonderful places. I can't even envy you enough. I'm afraid you have never thought of me, your brother."

Bai Lingzhi smiled and asked someone to deliver two brocade boxes.

The servant put down the brocade box and quietly stepped back. Pei Shuo opened the box and found a pink bracelet.

The texture of the beads is neither like pearls nor like coral.

Pei Shuo took it in his hand and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This is a conch pearl."

"Conch pearl?"

"This pink bead is found in the sea snails, and is even rarer and more valuable than pearls. I went through a lot of hardships to collect this string of beads. You could say that even if you searched the entire Yunhai Continent, you could only find one string of this good thing. I'm only giving it to you, so what do you think, cousin? Am I being nice?"

Pei Shuo looked at the pink beads and was very happy. He felt that it matched Liu Moyan very well.

"Thank you very much, brother."

Then he opened another box, and inside the box was a dagger.

The dagger was inlaid with gemstones of several colors, and he pulled out the blade with exquisite skill.

Bai Linzhi pulled a strand of hair from Pei Shuo, and just by placing the hair lightly on the blade, the hair broke into two pieces.

Pei Shuo was surprised: "How was this forged? It's so sharp."

"More than that, this dagger can cut iron like mud. It was a treasured item of a foreign ruler overseas. It was said to be made of a mineral that only gods have. Unfortunately, the ruler died young, and this item flowed out of the palace. When I saw it, I felt that it was a perfect match for your sister."

"Sister will definitely be very happy. I will definitely send this thing to her and tell her that it is a gift from you."

Bai Lingzhi waved his hands in disdain, "Even if you don't tell her, she knows that these things are of extraordinary value. Just say that you bought them in my store. If you say that I gave them to her, she probably won't dare to accept them."

Pei Shuo thought about it and it made sense. My sister was already engaged now. If she accepted gifts from a man outside her family, it would inevitably cause trouble. After all, these two people were almost engaged back then.

He happily accepted the dagger, and then looked at Bai Lingzhi again: "Where is my mother? You didn't prepare a gift for her, did you?"

Bai Lingzhi gave him a disdainful look and said, "Would I easily hand over something for my aunt to you? Of course I have to deliver it to your door in person. I prepared corals from the South China Sea for my aunt, and you can't just take that out casually."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo likes coral and also likes coral beads.

If she were really given a coral that was more than one meter high, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo would definitely be very happy.

Bai Lingzhi is really meticulous when it comes to giving gifts to others.

Pei Shuo happily accepted the gift, and Bai Lingzhi then spoke. "I heard that your sister was frightened a few days ago?"

Pei Shuo had a good relationship with him, so naturally he did not hide anything and explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Bai Lingzhi's eyes changed and he smiled and said, "It's good that you are okay. According to what you said, someone rescued you at that time. Who was that person?"

Pei Shuo shook his head: "I sent someone to check, but there is no news yet."

Judging from his son's description, the Duke of Zhenguo believed that in the entire Yunhai land, there were no more than three people who could kill people with flying leaves.

The greatest master in the world is the personal bodyguard of the ruler of Dingnan Kingdom. It is said that this man is so skilled in martial arts that he can take someone's life in a single breath.

For him, using flying leaves to hurt people is child's play.

The second-ranked master is Wu Sanlang, a famous knight from Beichen State. However, Wu Sanlang has retired from the martial arts world for many years and has long lost interest in worldly affairs, let alone traveling all the way to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ranked third is the Nanhai Immortal from the Nanhai Fairy Island.

But this person's whereabouts are unknown. It is said that he is already a half-immortal and no one knows his whereabouts.

Among these three people, whoever is most likely to appear in the capital, it would be the Immortal of the South Sea.

But the Immortal of the South Sea is a monk who practices Taoism and will not easily kill anyone.

He could have solved something like what happened yesterday with a few stones, so why would Fei Ye kill someone?

Not to mention Pei Shuo, even the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't figure it out.

Is there any unknown master in this world?

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise downstairs. Some tea drinkers downstairs started to make a fuss, saying that what the storyteller said was really boring, and it would be better to talk about the tragic extermination of the entire family of the Minister of War.

Now people on the streets are talking about this case, so he asked the storyteller if he knew any interesting news.

When Pei Shuo heard this, he also looked down and inadvertently saw Xu Yao, who quickly disappeared.

Why is she here?

Pei Shuo hurriedly asked his attendant to go downstairs and look for her to see if it was the girl Xu Yao.

If that girl is Xu Yao, Liu Moyan must be there too.

The attendant hurried downstairs. Bai Lingzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard him talking about Liu Moyan: "You are really obsessed with the little girl from the Liu family. What's so good about her? Why do you treat her like a treasure?"

When Pei Shuo mentioned Liu Moyan, his eyes lit up. "She is good in every way, I just like her. When you meet your sweetheart one day, you will know this feeling."

Bai Lingzhi quickly said, "Nonsense, how can a man as charming and suave as me love only one woman? Wouldn't that hurt the hearts of women all over the world?"

"No wonder my sister dislikes you, you are too flirtatious. I can't even love one little lady, how can you attract so many little ladies?"

Bai Lingzhi sneered and didn't care: "Only Zhao Mingbo can stand your sister's temper. She is fierce and barbaric, just like a tigress. I am not worthy of her. Brother, listen to my advice. If a man doesn't have a romantic life, he will live in vain. You are so handsome, how can you hang yourself on a tree?"

Pei Shuo ignored her: "There are three thousand weak waters, but she is the only one I need."
