Chapter 711 [Under the Brocade 7]
Lu Yi carefully and respectfully presented the defense map that he had found with great difficulty to the emperor. This crucial defense map is related to the safety of the country. However, it is confusing that it is still unclear what Cao Kun intended to do by stealing this map. But after careful consideration, the meticulous and observant Lu Yi boldly guessed that the purpose behind it was probably related to the Japanese pirates raging in the southeast.
The emperor's face darkened when he heard this, and he immediately ordered Lu Yi to continue to take over the case of Xie Shen and go south to investigate the matter secretly. Lu Yi accepted the order and thanked him, knowing that this task was arduous and the responsibility was heavy.
The news soon reached the Lu Mansion. When Lu Ting learned that the emperor had sent Lu Yi to the south to investigate the case, he could not help but worry. He specially found Lu Yi and repeatedly told him to be careful and cautious when he was outside and not to take it lightly. At the same time, Lu Ting also mentioned that Yang Chengwan was experienced and capable and could be given an important task. In the face of his father's concern and entrustment, Lu Yi just responded indifferently, saying that he knew. Seeing his son's attitude, Lu Ting could only sigh helplessly.
On the other side, after receiving the order, Yang Chengwan immediately called his son Yang Yue and his beloved disciple Yuan Jinxia and asked them to pack up and prepare to accompany Lu Yi to the south to investigate the case in a few days. When Yuan Jinxia heard the name "Lu Yi", she suddenly felt overwhelmed. It turned out that in the previous contacts, Lu Yi had caused her a lot of trouble. Now they have to investigate the case together. I don’t know how many headaches will happen next. Thinking of this, Yuan Jinxia couldn’t help but secretly complain.
Yuan Jinxia thought to herself that Youyou seemed to be full of respect for the majestic Jinyiwei. A thought flashed through her mind, if she could take Youyou with her, she would surely be ecstatic. Having made up her mind, Yuan Jinxia hurried to her master Yang Yue.
After seeing Yang Yue, Yuan Jinxia smiled and told him her thoughts sincerely. After hearing this, Yang Chengwan couldn't help but frowned and looked embarrassed, looking very helpless.
However, he could not resist Yuan Jinxia's soft and hard persuasion, and finally nodded reluctantly. But he also put forward a condition that Yuan Jinxia must ensure that Youyou's visit would not interfere with their work. Yuan Jinxia did not hesitate and patted her chest and readily agreed.
After getting the master's approval, Yuan Jinxia ran to Youyou like a happy little bird and passed the good news to her. As expected, Youyou was so excited that she danced with joy on her pretty face. She thought happily: This time I finally have the opportunity to get close to Lu Yi!
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, a sudden piece of news disrupted the original plan - the trip to Yangzhou was actually moved up! After Yuan Jinxia learned about this, she did not dare to delay at all and hurried back home to pack her luggage in a hurry. Seeing her daughter in such a hurry, Aunt Yuan felt distressed and hurriedly made two new clothes for her in case of emergency.
After everything was ready, Yuan Jinxia rushed to the government office and drew two months' salary in advance. Considering that this business trip would take a long time, she only left a small amount for herself and left most of the rest to Aunt Yuan. Then, she picked up her bag and trotted all the way to the dock.
Youyou was wearing a simple and elegant casual outfit, and Qiuxia, who was also wearing light clothes, was beside her. She walked gracefully and lightly, as beautiful as a blooming flower.
When Yuan Jinxia saw Youyou coming, she smiled and nodded to her, then enthusiastically took Youyou's hand and walked quickly towards Yang Chengwan and others. As she walked, Yuan Jinxia introduced: "Master, this is Youyou whom I mentioned to you before, my best friend."
When Yang Chengwan heard this, his eyes quickly fell on Youyou, and he looked her up and down carefully. The woman in front of him had a beautiful face, and her facial features were as delicate as if they were carved, especially her big eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. She was tall and slender, with exquisite curves, and her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a charming charm.
Yang Chengwan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at such a beautiful appearance, but at the same time he felt that taking such a beautiful woman with him might bring a lot of trouble. However, things had come to this point, and they had already agreed to go forward together, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word and break his promise. So Yang Chengyue calmed down and asked politely, "Hello, young lady, what is your name?"
When Youyou heard the question, a smile as bright as a flower blossomed on her face, and she replied softly, "Hello, Lord Yang. My last name is Ouyang. You can call me Youyou just like Jinxia."
After hearing this, Yang Chengwan nodded slightly, but did not address her as Youyou said. Instead, he continued to call her, "Ms. Ouyang." Perhaps out of respect for the strange woman, or perhaps there was still a trace of concern deep in his heart, Yang Chengwan finally chose to address her by her surname first.
