Chapter 85 Here Comes Another Mr. Xiang

"how do I say this?"

"Of course Xiang Yan will not trust Xiang Ruan. The reason why he is asked to guard the mountains and forests is just because he has a lot of skills. He wants to put them to use, but he is not willing to pay more. He also doesn't want to see people all day long. In total, this task has been assigned.”

Having said this, Su Yi couldn't help curling his lips again. It was obvious that Su Yi was very disdainful of Xiang Yan's behavior.

"Xiang Yan originally thought that Xiang Ruan was a fool with a simple mind and strong limbs. Even if he were to guard the forest every day, he would not be able to discover the secrets of the forest. In addition, there was also a man named Gong Xiang sent by Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan is relieved that Ruan dispatches those people who actually carry out surveillance duties."

"Who would have known that Xiang Ruan would have discovered it." Gai Nie couldn't help but smirked, "Xiang Yan, I'm afraid he's going to be scared to death."

"No." Su Yi chuckled, like a bastard, "When Xiang Yan learned about this, she wished she could kill Xiang Ruan and get it over with. She planned to expose the matter. However, Xiang Ruan noticed it."

"Theoretically speaking, as the head of the Xiang clan at that time, Xiang Yan had to deal with individuals quietly, which was as simple as squeezing an ant to death. But no one expected that something as simple as this would go wrong. "

"It seems that Xiang Ruan is also very lucky." Gai Nie saw that the roast chicken in his hand had already cooled down, so he simply put it aside and found a tree to lean against, intending to listen to Su Yi's story in peace.

Unexpectedly, Su Yi stopped talking.

"It's really good luck. When I was a gangster, I was not arrested by the police. When I was taken in by Xiang Yan, I was not treated badly. Although I didn't get what I wanted when I was assigned a job, it was still a good job where I could stay away from disputes and not worry about food and drink. In the end, when he violated Xiang Yan's taboo and was about to be silenced, he unexpectedly gained Xiang Yan's trust through a strange combination of circumstances and became an important figure in the Xiang family."

Su Yi suddenly shut up and sighed, "Comparing people to each other is so annoying."

Gai Nie was listening to the story with squinted eyes, but Su Yi suddenly stopped talking. Gai Niejing waited for a while, but Su Yi still didn't make a sound, so he had to open his eyes in surprise and look towards Su Yi.

But he saw Su Yi looking somewhere with a smile, holding a pheasant that had just been put on the shelf, and slowly roasting it.

Gai Nie followed Su Yi's gaze and saw that another group of people had arrived.

"Master Xiang is finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."

What came was a middle-aged man in official uniform, with a calm expression and an elegant posture. The ten followers following behind him were also well-behaved. At first glance, he looked like he was not in the same rank as Xiang Ruan's group just now.

"Oh? May I ask where you two came from? What's the purpose of coming here? How did you two know that I would come and why you waited here specially?"

Su Yi didn't deliberately treat him coldly, and the middle-aged man didn't pretend to be an official. For a moment, the atmosphere was actually very harmonious.

"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Xiang has a rigorous style of work, an honest official, and is quite meticulous in his actions. Now it seems that he is exactly the same. Young man, this is too polite." Su Yi stopped being casual, frowned, puffed up his sleeves, and raised his hands. , bowed down, and bowed in a graceful manner.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Although he knew that the purpose of the two people in front of him was not simple, facing such a humble and polite Su Yi, Master Xiang couldn't be too rigid, so he returned the gift.

Seeing that the opponent was so good at it, Su Yi secretly felt happy, thinking that this Rong was really a person, capable of bending and stretching, brave and resourceful, and knew how to advance and retreat according to the opponent's words and deeds. No wonder he could raise a son like Xiang Yu.

That's right, this Master Xiang is the father of our famous Overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu. However, at this time, Xiang Yu was not born yet?

"Since you are so sincere, you have personally come to pick up our brothers and sisters. I, Su Yi, am not a person who pays attention to formalities. Why don't I just open the skylight and speak frankly?" Su Yi turned sideways slightly and made a "please" gesture.

Xiang Rong was stunned for a moment, "Su Yi?"

After a while, Xiang Rong seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took a step back, bowed his head, and said, "It turns out that he is the first guard with a sword in front of King Qin. Xiang is blind, and I hope that you, Master Su, have a lot of people, so don't go to a remote place like us." The ignorant villagers of the land care about you."

"Master Xiang is too modest. The Chu State is the most vast in the world today. Everyone knows your reputation. As the eldest son of the best general in such a big country, how can Master Xiang be such an ignorant countryman? ?”

Su Yi praised someone seriously, causing Gai Nie next to him to cough lightly. It is rare to see such an elegant and serious Su Yi.

Of course, it is enough to be able to frighten Mr. Xiang in front of him.

"This..." Xiang Rong's expression changed a few times, but he finally calmed down, "Master Su is joking. If we weren't ignorant, how could we disturb the tranquility of the two of you."

The topic finally came back.

After starting, it will be much easier to continue. Xiang Rong took a deep breath and bowed to Su Yi again, "Master Su, to be honest, I came here this time on the order of my father. Come to greet the two adults and ask questions about my distant relative Xiang Ruan. But I don’t know..." Xiang Rong glanced at him as if he was embarrassed, "Where is my useless relative Xiang Ruan now?"

"Master Xiang came here in person. My brothers and I feel extremely honored. As for Ruan..."

Hearing the change in Su Yi's tone, Xiang Rong complained secretly in his heart, and immediately became more respectful, "Xiang Ruan is quite out of character. If he has offended the two adults, I apologize for him. I hope the two adults will ignore it." If you are a villain, please let us go."

"Master Xiang, there is no need to panic," Su Yi helped Xiang Rong, "my brothers and sisters are not unreasonable barbarians. Master Xiang Ruan is fine. He just went out to help me find something. He will be back soon. Don't worry, sir." That’s it.”

"Uh..." Xiang Rong had doubts in his heart. How could a person as proud and arrogant as Xiang Ruan do such errands? But when he saw Su Yi's unquestionable eyes, Xiang Rong's heart trembled and he responded quickly. Next, "It is Xiang Ruan's blessing to be able to work for you two adults. In this case, I would like to ask you two to come with me first and stay at the mansion here for the time being. My father has already told me not to neglect you."

Don't neglect... Then why were you so tough when you came out just now... Su Yi silently complained in his heart. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with what Xiang Rong did, he still couldn't help being unhappy.

"There's no need to go to such trouble," Su Yi stopped Xiang Rong's instructions, "I have already explained the specific matters to Lord Xiang Ruan. We can set off directly to your father's place. There is no need to look elsewhere."

"These... two of you have traveled a long way to come here, and you must be very tired..."

"It doesn't matter."

"In that case, please, my lords."

"Master Xiang, please." ..
