Chapter 742 The real purpose of dating
At dusk, a quiet location on the second floor of Tianmen Restaurant in Guodu was by the window, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset, Zhou Ran and Liang Shan sat opposite him.
Tianmen Restaurant is one of the most expensive restaurants in the capital. It is located in a prosperous place and is very close to the royal palace and the branch of the Dark Sect. Therefore, the ones entering and leaving the restaurant are originally nobles, especially on the second floor, which is a place where some mainstays of families often enter and exit. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place where famous families gather.
Zhou Ran personally asked Liang Shan to come out at dusk today. Although Zhou Ran was wearing plain clothes, he had just ascended the throne and looked very familiar. As soon as he entered the restaurant gate, it immediately caused a sensation.
Of course, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, Wang Sancai followed the king's side to solve the problem of these people who wanted to come forward to talk. After quietly stopping Sanbo people who wanted to approach the king and discounting one of them, Zhou Ran finally arrived at the second floor and gained peace.
People finally knew that the king was not so easy to get close to, but everyone was also curious about who the woman who followed the king was?
Gradually, many people became curious about Liang Shan's identity.
Some people speculate that she is the king's favorite concubine, some people speculate that she has not been attracted by the king yet, and some people even speculate that she is the future quasi-queen queen.
Until an unintentional voice sounded: "She seems to be from Congress. I remember that on the day His Majesty ascended the throne, I seemed to have seen her on the table..."
In an instant, someone immediately refuted: "What are you talking about? There were only a few members of Congress who could sit on the table that day, and every minister was a smart person. Even this little girl could join the core of Congress? I don't believe it."
This sentence immediately aroused approval: "That's right, the core of Congress is really a test of the head. You can't just be beautiful or have a strong strength. Besides, this woman is not pretty, she has a big breast, hehe."
This assumption cannot be established, and someone immediately speculated: "That may be the daughter of a patriarch of a large family."
This assumption quickly resonated with many people. After all, the new king had just ascended the throne before he married, and the patriarch of a large clan introduced his daughter to the new king to improve his family status. It is reasonable to say that it is reasonable.
However, the discussion below was so hot that the restaurant owner quickly stopped him. What a joke. It would be fine if the king didn't discuss it here. The king is now in the restaurant. After hearing this, he would not open a restaurant that he was unhappy!
Therefore, the restaurant owner cleverly stopped everyone from discussing, and temporarily blocked the mouths of these nobles with the benefits of one bottle of fine wine per person.
Similarly, the restaurant owner certainly did not dare to collect the king's money for drinks. It was a great honor for him to visit his restaurant. He could even make a fuss about this matter after today, saying that the king had been here, which would definitely attract more famous people.
In order to welcome the king's arrival, the restaurant owner even vacated the entire second floor just to allow the king to enjoy peace.
At this time, the entire second floor inevitably seemed a little empty. Wang Sancai stood behind Zhou Ran, and a maid who seemed not old last year was accompanied by a maid standing behind Liang Shan. There were some fruits and a pot of fine wine at the table, but neither of them moved, just chatting about something irrelevant.
Looking at the gradually getting late, Liang Shan couldn't sit still. She asked, "What's wrong with your Majesty asking me out today?"
Zhou Ran bit the bullet and laughed: "Nothing is wrong? Don't you want to come out and chat and relax while you are nervous?"
Liang Shan has two big heads. Although she is in the capital now, Liang Aotian is not here, and many major events in her family have to be decided by her. Today, until now, she has accumulated a lot of major events from the family waiting for her to resolve. Unexpectedly, she actually received the invitation from the king and had to follow her without any choice.
Originally, Liang Shan thought that Zhou Ran had some top priority to discuss with him, so she waited for Zhou Ran to take the initiative to propose it, but she didn't expect that Zhou Ran was just talking about some romantic affairs with him and didn't even ask for any adjustments.
Now she asked her on her own initiative, but she didn't expect Zhou Ran to give her such an answer. She was anxious, but she couldn't let Zhou Ran see it. She pondered for a while and could only remind her indirectly: "Your Majesty, occasionally coming out to relax can indeed relieve stress, but she is also very skilled in grasping time. Too little can't help relieve stress, and too much can make it difficult to complete the backlog of things in her hands."
She was reminding Zhou Ran in disguise that she still had many things to deal with. How could Zhou Ran not hear such an obvious reminder?
He frowned and immediately turned around and asked, "Master Beiyang, how long have we been out?"
Wang Sancai had said a lot to Liang Shan before, worried that she would recognize her voice, so he kept his voice down and said, "Reply to Your Majesty, it's a little more than two quarters of an hour."
"Liang Shan, did you hear it?" Zhou Ran said, "The Beiyang Commander said the time we came out of the palace. After counting, we have only sat down for less than a quarter of an hour."
Wang Sancai thought about it more, because Liang Shan could not have thought that he would be Wang Sancai. Liang Shan couldn't get along with Zhou Ran, but she was not afraid of a small Imperial Guard commander. She heard her hostilely say, "The Beiyang Commander was confused by those twenty big boards, right? How come I remember that it has been out for half an hour?"
Wang Sancai understood that Liang Shan was using her to be beaten to warn herself not to lie deliberately to please the king. He smiled indifferently: "Thanks to Miss Liang for her concern, Your Majesty is kind, and worried that I will delay my duty due to bedtime. In the afternoon, I have ordered that I be allowed to heal the injuries on my butt by myself."
What he implied was saying: I have the blessing of Your Majesty, and I can cure myself quickly even if I get beaten with a board. This is a privilege that I have never had before. If you threaten me, wouldn’t it be equivalent to trashing His Majesty’s face?
In a hurry, Liang Shan seemed not to hear Wang Sancai's deep meaning, and replied impatiently: "The Beiyang Commander must be careful in the future."
Zhou Ran couldn't understand the conversation between the two. He had never thought about asking Liang Shan to come out. In his opinion, it was Wang Sancai who wanted to meet them. When the two of them chatted, he didn't want to interrupt. However, he couldn't understand. He heard Liang Shan's words and heard the smell of gunpowder, and quickly smoothed out: "Okay, let's stop this topic. I think the lesson of the Beiyang Commander this time must be very profound and he will definitely not commit it again in the future."
"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Sancai deliberately said something exciting to Liang Shan, meaning that Liang Shan has no vision.
Seeing Liang Shan frowning, Zhou Ran quickly found a topic: "Liang Shan, I heard from my uncle that you came to Guodu this time to wait for Wang San to execute the execution. Are you planning to leave Guodu after this matter is finished?"
What he heard from his uncle? It was basically what Wang Sancai told him at noon.
Seeing that the king had taken the initiative to change the topic, Liang Shan would not give the king face, but she frowned slightly, but soon disappeared, and she heard her say seriously: "Go back to Your Majesty, maybe you have to stay for some time."
"Oh? Didn't you come for Wang Sancai?" Zhou Ran had nothing to say.
Liang Shan sighed slightly: "Actually, I am for my father. My father has disappeared for so long and has not been seen. Perhaps it is inconvenient to return to the family. If my father in the capital is in the capital, it will be relatively convenient if he wants to find me."
What is the reason for this? Is it easier to find a daughter than to go home to find her?
Wang Sancai learned that Liang Shan was just perfunctory Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran could also hear it. He frowned and lowered his voice, saying meaningfully: "Liang Shan, I heard from my uncle that your father had rebelled into Li Guo. You have not explained this to my uncle clearly yet, so don't you want to explain it to me clearly?"
Liang Shan frowned and it was difficult to hide her suppressed anger in her tone: "Your Majesty, I still said that this kind of rebellion would never happen to our Liang family. If your Majesty does not have enough evidence, please don't slander our Liang family. Besides, I, Liang Shan, are in the capital. If Your Majesty is confident, you can arrest me at any time, and don't worry about me staying in the territory and fighting with my back or escaping secretly!"
No one can hear the anger in Liang Shan's words. What she said is right. She is right next to your king. If there is anything, are you afraid that she will run away?
At this time, Wang Sancai saw a crowd gathering at the door of the Dark Sect branch far outside the window. A strong man with short hair squeezed out of the crowd. Wang Sancai recognized at a glance that the man was Enzo.
After Enzo rushed out of the crowd, he made an OK gesture in his direction, and quickly left nearby and disappeared into the crowd. At the same time, Wang Sancai received a message, closed his eyes and entered the game. It turned out that Enzo sent it, and saw a few words written on it: Successful, come quickly, I will flash first.
Wang Sancai quickly opened his eyes and saw Zhou Ran smiling a little awkwardly. Liang Shan’s face opposite was almost unable to hide his impatient mood.
He raised his foot and kicked Zhou Ran's butt slightly. It was agreed with him at noon. As long as he kicked his butt, it would be possible to leave.
Zhou Ran was immediately as if he had received a general amnesty. He took a deep breath and looked at the setting sun outside the window: "It's getting late, I think it's time for us to go back."
This sentence immediately made Liang Shan's frown unfold.
So, under Zhou Ran's leadership, the four of them left the restaurant.
But before he could get on the carriage, Wang Sancai had already arranged the red hat and immediately rushed forward: "Oh, my god! I finally found you!"
Wang Sancai frowned and scolded, "Didn't you see Your Majesty here?"
The red hat looked away and quickly said solemnly: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Zhou Ran waved his hand and said in confusion: "He is..."
"Go back to Your Majesty, he is the deputy commander appointed by me." Wang Sancai said casually and asked quickly: "What happened? Are you so anxious to find me?"
Zhou Ran closed her mouth and looked at the Red Hat. Liang Shan was not in a hurry for a while. She was also very curious about the recklessness of the deputy commander.
When Red Hat heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh: "Not good! My commander, something big happened just now! Killing someone!!"
"What!!" Wang Sancai immediately looked grim. He was the commander of the Imperial Guard. When someone died in the capital, he had to bear certain responsibilities: "Where?"
When Zhou Ran heard this, his expression changed drastically. Liang Shan, who was standing beside him, rolled her eyes and was a little gloating. He seemed to say to Wang Sancai: I reminded you before, look, you just promised it, something happened, right?
Red Hat jumped up and down in a hurry: "It's in the Dark Sect, in the Dark Sect branch!"
"Dark Sect?" Wang Sancai immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's not a place we can control. If you die, you'll die."
Zhou Ran was relieved when he heard this, while Liang Shan seemed a little disappointed.
But Red Hat was anxious: "But the dead are the big men of our kingdom!"
As soon as these words came out, the three people's expressions became nervous, and Zhou Ran said even more nervously: "Who is it!"
Red Hat looked innocent: "I don't know it, but some people recognize it as a big man in our kingdom..."
Wang Sancai quickly interrupted: "Stop talking, let's go over and take a look."
...
So, the group soon arrived in front of the Dark Sect branch. With Wang Sancai making a little move, several people easily squeezed into the crowd.
At the same moment, Wang Sancai closed his eyes and selected "Retract" on the "Enzo" icon. As soon as he saw success, he quickly opened his eyes, only a few seconds before and after.
The layout of the Dark Sect inside the Dark Sect and the Burning Shicheng Dark Sect branch is similar. On the left side of the first floor is where the assassin takes the task, on the right side is the staircase on the upper second floor, with a corridor in the middle. The deepest part of the corridor is where newcomers need to register.
And in the middle of this corridor, a group of imperial guards formed a large circle to block the corridor. At the door, a group of imperial guards guarded the audience from entering. When they saw Zhou Ran and Wang Sancai coming, several people immediately saluted in a low voice: "See Your Majesty, see the commander."
At this time, even Zhou Ran was not in the mood to pay attention to these things. The four of them quickly walked towards the crowd in the middle, and the imperial guards in the crowd also heard the salute at the door. They saw Li Yun quickly bringing people to greet him and saluted: "Your Majesty, commander."
"What's going on?" Zhou Ran finally asked.
If he didn't move forward, it would be difficult for Wang Sancai and Liang Shan to step further.
Li Yun looked down and said, "We just learned the news and found that the three people in our kingdom died inexplicably in the Dark Sect. However, the sect leader here told us that he didn't know what was going on..."
As he said that, he raised his hand behind him, and the two imperial guards immediately "protected" a middle-aged man with some weight, one left and one right, stepped forward.
The middle-aged man's face was extremely bad. Judging from Li Yun's meaning, he was the leader of the Dark Sect branch.
However, Zhou Ran didn't ask what was going on. He didn't glance at the leader of the Dark Sect and frowned: "I'm asking who died..."
As he said that, he became impatient: "Does go."
Li Yun immediately led people to move out of aisle. Zhou Ran walked over and immediately changed his face when he saw the bodies of three people on the ground!!
Liang Shan, who followed Zhou Ran, just glanced at her calm face, and her face, which was originally calm, immediately turned bloodless. She suddenly knelt next to the corpse like crazy, and shouted heart-wrenchingly: "Dad!!!!"
The sharp sound seemed to surge into the sky.
