Chapter 959 Prodigal
"I didn't expect to see you here..."
After Britt confirmed Xu Yue, he also had a wry smile on his face. It was obvious that Xu Yue would appear at the Guest House. Plus he knew the other party's potential, strength and age, it was probably arranged by Beiyang. One of the competitors.
"Yeah, a few of you are chasing me."
Xu Yue didn't mean the slightest bit of embarrassment, and still had that gentle smile. He understood Britt after being in contact with her for a while, and would not do anything to anger others casually.
Well, even if I get angry, it's okay...
"Everyone who is supposed to come has come, but it is fate that we can meet here. Let's find some time to get together. Then we can have a salon on the train in the imperial capital."
Britt also quickly adjusted his mentality, and in his opinion, Xu Yue was indeed a low-level threat. After all, two confidantes had appeared in front of Shirley, and one of them It is the concubine who made it clear.
Appearing here now may not be a bad thing for you!
In this foreign country, it would be nice to just collect some information for myself.
"Okay, call me when the time comes. I see someone I know. Come over."
Then Xu Yue saw another familiar figure, Tang Baochao, who also studied at St. Hill Military Academy and served as the president at the time.
This is a very traditional soldier. When they were attacked together at sea, the other party's performance was remarkable.
It is reasonable for him to appear here. Although he may be "lower in ranking" like himself, his strength and talent can only be considered average or even below the group of people in front of him.
But at least he also has a big shot like Tang Shaoyi as his cousin.
"Xu Yue, you are here too, and Master Britt."
On the other side, Tang Baochao also saw Xu Yue coming over, and at the same time he saw Britt where he was originally. Then he said hello to Britt from afar, and then turned around and patted Xu Yue's shoulder enthusiastically.
"This time I was forced to come here by my cousin. I'm really uncomfortable. Fortunately, I have an acquaintance like you."
Tang Baochao obviously looked relieved.
He is a very traditional soldier with a serious and old-fashioned style. As a result, he was assigned such a task, which was indeed a bit difficult for him.
"By the way, what's your room number? I'll come find you after I put my things away. I feel uncomfortable here."
Tang Baochao was also carrying a suitcase in his hand. He should be changing clothes, but he was the only one in the lobby on the first floor who brought such a thing.
Which one of those who can be assigned to this mission is not cheering for you? There is no need to prepare these things by yourself as they are fully arranged.
In fact, Tang Baochao was not bad in terms of his status, but his usual style was to directly carry such a heavy box that affected his image.
"Room 307."
Originally, when Xu Yue came here, he was also prepared to observe the situation casually and fan the flames if he had the opportunity, so there was nothing bad to say.
"307?"
But Tang Baochao seemed a little surprised after hearing this
"I am 402, and my cousin helped me arrange it. It is said that His Highness lives in 301 on the third floor, so it should be difficult to get a room on the third floor."
"Now it all counts as early contact. In fact, she should have gone to the imperial capital to meet the Qing Emperor before officially arranging to introduce the young hero. Everyone who is staying here now wants to seize the opportunity in advance..."
After hearing what Tang Baochao said,
Xu Yue first thought that it was arranged by Zhang Zuolin or Cao Kun, but then he felt that something was wrong. They should not dare to make arbitrary decisions without authorization.
But soon he figured out the problem and smiled dumbly. It was probably Zhang Xueliang who switched his room with his and came to help.
"307?"
But at this moment, another voice came from the side, and a figure in a casual suit was seen striding towards the two of them, with a smile on his face.
"Brother, how about changing rooms? I'll change with you at the mission point. I'll give you an A-level room."
Xu Yue was a little surprised when he heard this. It was just a room, wasn't it?
Now even in my own situation, as long as there is no conflict with my goals, I will take the initiative to do an A-level task. However, this guy just paid such a high price just to change a room.
This is really heroic...
"Change."
Without even a pause, Xu Yue nodded and agreed. Anyway, I am staying in 301 tonight. It would be a waste to leave 307 empty...
"Haha, it's refreshing. I, Cao Shisong, recognize your friend."
Cao Shisong laughed loudly when he heard Xu Yue agreed, and Tang Baochao next to him also reminded Xu Yue and said
"This is the son of Marshal Cao Kun."
This cheating bastard...
Xu Yue looked at Cao Shisong, who had a profit-making expression on his face, fearing that he would regret the deal with him, and a rare strange emotion appeared in his heart.
His father is not as heroic as him, he is really formidable.
"Hey, our Cao Xiaoshuai is really heroic and spends a lot of money. When are you going to play again?"
Also because of Cao Shisong's fiery exchange of words, Xu Yue and Tang Baochao, who were originally transparent, attracted a lot of attention.
Then a man wearing a Baylor uniform and a long whip walked over with a teasing and sarcastic expression on his face.
Nowadays, Beiyang and the Qing court can be considered to be at odds. The two sides are originally on opposite sides. In addition, the two people obviously know each other and may even have conflicts. With a good opportunity, it seems that they are found. As it should.
"Little Prince Zhongquan, although I lost a lot last time, I also won beauties. I think the concubine you just got is not bad. Since you want to stay here and pursue His Highness Shirley, then why not Give it to me, let's have a fight, how about you take over the person and I take over the task point?"
After Cao Shisong saw the visitor, he didn't take his sarcasm seriously at all. Instead, he responded casually.
Without thinking about it, Zhongquan had the heart to kill him.
Are you crazy? Although many people here have concubines or aunts, they must be hiding them and not speaking out at times like this.
In the end, it turned out well for these two fools. Do you want to die with me and be eliminated together?
The sudden good show here has undoubtedly once again expanded the attraction. Whether it is the Qing court, Beiyang, or other international friends, many of them glance here from a distance.
However, even the people from the Qing court and Beiyang had no intention of stepping forward to help Cao Shisong and Zhongquan. They were all joking and gloating about their misfortune.
Everyone who appears here are competitors, and even our own people are happy to see more opponents eliminated.
"Okay, okay..."
Zhongquan was so suffocated that he couldn't speak. He said three good words in a row, and then quickly covered his face and walked away.
Just kidding, do you really want to die with this guy if you stay here? If Her Royal Highness Shirley comes out, or if her maid or something discovers it, she can decide to appear directly!
The prodigal son didn't care, but he had to care.
"Hey~ Why did the young prince Zhongquan want to leave? Do you agree or not? You are welcome to come to me at any time after you think about it carefully. Don't forget it."
After Zhongquan hid his face and walked away, Cao Shisong was still shouting loudly from behind, which was totally weird.
Xu Yue had to shake his head in his heart, maybe this was his prodigal cunning. With such a reputation in the circle, others were not even willing to step on him...
