【One hundred and eighty-two chapters】Preparing the Changxi Autumn Banquet

Jiang Chengjiacai said: "Of course, I have to disguise you again. It's raining so heavily outside. You are also very worried. Are you not afraid that the mask on your face will fall off if it gets stuck in water? You are still in the rain?"

Ning Nanyou looked at her faintly and said, "I'm wearing a hat, but I haven't had much rain on my face. But just now, in order to come and meet you, I was wet and my mask fell off."

When Jiang Chengjia heard that he blamed her, he said angrily: "Can I ask you to get wet in the rain? What do you mean? Do you want to blame me?"

She knew that Deng Qing looked at him very tightly, but she didn't care about his life or death. Even if he was injured and was still wet from the rain, she would not care whether he would get sick and catch a cold. She would just leave him aside. In this mansion, who would care about him except for her always caring about him?

Ning Nanyou was afraid of making her angry again, so he hurriedly said, "You're not blaming you. I'm here, don't be angry."

Before Jiang Chengjia could speak, he took off his clothes on his own.

There was no lamp in the house, and it was pitch black and it was hard to see clearly. He groped his clothes, but he couldn't untie it for a while because of the wet rain.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Jiang Chengjia shook his head helplessly, walked forward, reached out and hugged him from behind, pulled the knotted belt, and easily untied it for him.

The husband smiled at her. Seeing that her expression was getting worse, he quickly took off all his clothes and robe and sat in the bathtub.

The hot water gushed up around him slightly relieved his coldness.

Jiang Chengjia then calmed down and stood by the bathtub and asked softly: "What is the reason for you today... to pour yourself into this?"

Ning Nanyou said silently, without replying.

Jiang Chengjia frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it because of the quarrel between you and me in the morning?"

The figure in the bathtub trembled slightly, and the scattered mist filled the entire room.

Jiang Chengjia was displeased, so he walked around the bathtub and walked to his front, with a firm and serious look: "I tell you clearly that you want me to leave the Protectorate and let you take risks alone, that is absolutely impossible."

Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes. Although he knew that he would get this answer from her, he was still a little unwilling to accept it.

He continued to shut his mouth, staring at the girl with dark eyes, without moving at all.

Seeing that he was still silent, Jiang Chengjia angrily picked up a handful of water from the bathtub, splashed it at Ning Nanyou, and then insisted like a rock: "Ning Zhaoyuan, how many times have I told you, I hope to advance and retreat with you. Haven't you promised me too? Why do you still drive me away?"

Looking at the girl's anxious and troubled look, Ning Nanyou said helplessly: "You insist on staying here. If Zhou Yuanmo wants to do anything to you, what should I do if I can't protect you in time?"

Jiang Chengjia denied without hesitation: "I won't let this happen. Besides, I can protect myself. If I have to hide everything behind you and rely on your protection, how can I talk about going side by side with you?"

Ning Nanyou continued to remain silent and lowered his eyes.

Seeing that he refused to agree, Jiang Chengjia begged, "Zhaoyuan, just let me stay here. Don't drive me away. Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. I still want to save my life and grow old with you until old age, and I will never let myself be hurt."

She tried hard to help, and she was sincere and wanted to stay here.

Even if Ning Nanyou wanted to force her to send her away, he was a little afraid. He was afraid that if he did this, he would hurt the relationship between the two of them.

He thought for a while and finally compromised, "Forget it, it's up to you. But you need to promise me that you will not be allowed to dance at tomorrow's banquet."

Jiang Chengjia frowned and said, "If you don't let me perform dance, how should Deng Qing explain? This afternoon, the opera troupe he invited took me to the music shop to perform dance. This... I'm afraid that if you don't go to the banquet to perform dance, it will probably arouse Deng Qing's suspicion. Moreover, Zhou Yuanmo also went to the mansion today, and I don't know how he would say to us in front of Deng Qing. At this critical moment, don't make any troubles."

Everything she said is true. If she suddenly doesn't perform a dance, it will indeed arouse Deng Qing's suspicion, and it may even anger him.

This made Ning Nanyou feel worried.

Jiang Chengjia gently held his hand on the edge of the bathtub and comforted softly: "Don't worry, if something really happened during the dance, I will definitely focus on my life safety."

She repeatedly promised and begged again and again.

Ning Nanyou then agreed reluctantly. Seeing Jiang Chengjia's relief, he did not dare to continue to mention this matter, so he had to make a secret decision that if Zhou Yuanmo really wanted to do something to Jiang Chengjia, even if he exposed his identity, he would save her.

The husband calmed down and retracted his thoughts. He felt that his body had become much warmer and he no longer had the intention of coldness.

When he got up, Jiang Chengjia handed over the clean clothes.

The slender and tall man went out to the bath and dressed, and the moon gradually showed his true face by the thick clouds, as beautiful as a painting, and the breeze was bright.

Facing the moonlight shining in front of the window after the dark clouds disappeared, Jiang Chengjia was stunned again, and couldn't help blushing, and scolded himself fiercely in his heart. When has it been so late that he could still be so fascinated by lust.

So, Ning Nanyou was unstable tonight and did not notice the rosy on her face.

He could not stay in the small building for too long. After Jiang Chengjia put on makeup and disguised him, he hurriedly wanted to leave here.

The husband whispered a few more words to her, then climbed up the beam of the roof, pushed away the tiles, and quietly left the place from the roof.

The room instantly fell empty.

Jiang Chengjia secretly lost his mind and felt a little regretful, thinking that he should have quarreled with him just now and let him stay here for a longer time.

However, time does not wait for others, and night is the time when people relax their vigilance the most. Ning Nanyou has too many things to arrange, and there is no time to keep warm with his little wife.

Under the moonlight, he was speeding on the eaves and quietly came to the back door of the Protectorate Mansion to meet Lu Xun who had been waiting there for a long time.

The trees were swaying, and the water vapor from the rain in the evening was still sprinkled.

Lu Xun jumped off the wall, came to Ning Nanyou, held his fists and saluted, "Lord...why are you calling your subordinates to come?"

The husband sighed softly and said, "It was originally something, but now I'm afraid I'm just going to arrange a game."

He originally wanted Lu Xun to take Jiang Chengjia away from the Protectorate tonight, so he asked Qian Hui to inform him to come and meet him. Now that he has agreed to the little lady and let her stay, he cannot break his promise.

Lu Xun didn't know the twists and turns, his eyes were stunned and asked, "What is the purpose of lord?"

Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows halfway, pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Forget it, it's better not to mention this matter. But I still have something to tell you. Zhou Yuanmo has already entered the Protectorate's Mansion. I think Qian Hui will make it clear to you when he went to look for you in the evening."

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Qian Hui has indeed told everyone about it."

Ning Nanyou continued: "Since that's the case, the autumn banquet will start tomorrow evening. I want you to bring enough people to ambush around the Protectorate's Mansion and listen to my edict at any time."

Lu Xun looked shocked and asked with his fists: "My lord does this...but what big thing will happen tomorrow night?"

Ning Nanyou wanted to speak to him about his speculation, but when he saw the tension in Lu Xun's eyes, he immediately became hoarse. The words he said were swallowed by him.

He was silent for a while and said lightly: "Just just to be on the verge of precautions. Deng Qing was wary of me and Jiang, and Zhou Yuan was in the mansion at the end of the day. The scene was messy at tomorrow's banquet, and I was afraid of trouble."

The husband explained sparsely and usually, as if there was no hidden truth.

Lu Xun's face was tense and loosened. He thought that Zhou Yuanmo had some shocking plans and was noticed by Ning Nanyou in advance, which made him ambush around the Protectorate Mansion with his people. Even though he believed in Zhou Yuanmo's betrayal and made up his mind to treat this person as an enemy, he subconsciously still hoped that Zhou Yuanmo would not confront them.

Lu Xun calmed down and replied: "Don't worry, lord, I will bring enough people to guard the Protectorate tomorrow."

Ning Nanyou took all the change of Lu Xun's face into his eyes. He saw through Lu Xun's thoughts before he swallowed his guesses and kept them hidden. Some things he didn't want to say so much that made Lu Xun completely disappointed.

Lang Jun nodded and asked again, "What's the current two letters I asked you to send?"

Lu Xun replied: "As a result of the lord's instructions, he personally found Fang Si of Shui Pavilion and gave the letter to Jiang Chengyi. He ordered Zhao Fu to take another letter and send it to him overnight. But I don't know if Zhou Yuanmo's people would intercept the letter."

Ning Nanyou said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this. He has been playing this game for a long time and will never allow any mistakes in the middle. He will definitely notice Zhao Fu's traces and let someone cut off the letter."

Lu Xun nodded in a low voice, looking a little depressed.

Ning Nanyou frowned, unwilling to see him like this, so he reminded: "I am now in the Protectorate Mansion. Whether it is the military camp or the Huns, I have to rely on you to stare at it. Lu Chengzhong, remember, don't neglect the major issues because of my personal affair. Go back. I have nothing to explain."

After saying that, the husband turned around and drilled into the bushes and rushed out quickly.

Lu Xun stayed in the shadow of the back wall for a long time before climbing up the blue brick and quietly hid out from the back door of the Protectorate's Mansion.

After a heavy rain overnight, the autumn mood became deeper.

As the sky was light, the Protectorate's Mansion became restless and lighted everywhere. The servants and maids were busy preparing for the evening autumn banquet.

Deng Qing attached great importance to this banquet. He had already started preparing for it a month ago. The chef and music were all famous people in the northern region that he had worked hard to find.
