Chapter 67
Book 6 Chap 11 – Unstoppable old flame
By the time Xiang Shaolong returned to the hall together with Zhao Ya, the place is already a flurry of activity. Just scanning across the room, there were at least 50 odd people and most of them he knew from before, including Guo Zhong and his men, who were all split into 10 over groups either chatting or greeting one another.
Guo Kai saw them and first gave Xiang Shaolong a look full of hidden meaning before bringing him to where Zhao Mu was chatting with Guo Zhong and introduced him to this great merchant.
Zhao Ya is like honey surrounded by bees, with a group of men around her trying to pander to her, obviously she still has her charms.
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that Zhao Ya is really adaptable to be able to rebound so quickly from the blow he gave her. Hai! He’d better let her off, after all they did have a sincere relations.h.i.+p in the past.
Guo Zhong said warmly, "Mister Dong has come from afar, I must play host a little no matter what. I wonder if you’re available tomorrow, and of course the Marquis and Scholar Guo will accompany as well."
Xiang Shaolong replied with a smile, "Master Guo is so polite, I’ll have to make time even if I don’t have any!"
Guo Zhong was ecstatic and made an appointment with him.
Zhao Ya managed to extricate herself and came to Xiang Shaolong’s side but before she has a chance to speak, someone laughed loudly as he walked over, "I’ve finally seen Lady today!"
Xiang Shaolong turned his head to see a handsome and majestic looking man about 30 years of age striding over.
This person has a strong walk with a long sword hanging from his waist and an extremely imposing air.
Once Zhao Ya saw him, her pretty eyes brightened and she ignored Xiang Shaolong as she said with a flirtatious smile, "It really makes me feel bad to hear Marquis Pingshan say this, it seems as if I am very difficult to meet."
So it turns out that this person is the envoy that the State of Han sent this time, the Marquis of Pingshan, Han Chuang, and it seems that he is quite a character.
Zhao Mu chortled, "Please stop your flirtations for a moment. Come Marquis Chuang, let me introduce to you the world famous horse fanatic Mister Dong Kuang."
Han Chuang’s gaze settled on Xiang Shaolong’s face, his expression aloof and after making do with some small talk, he pulled Zhao Ya aside and started whispering affectionately with her.
Xiang Shaolong was secretly feeling livid and hating himself for unable to forget this s.lut after all. Luckily the mask helped to conceal his real expression but he suddenly has less to talk about now.
Zhao Mu saw this and found an opportunity to pull him aside and said, "Just leave Zhao Ya to me, I’ll make sure you’ll have a chance to enjoy her. But I have a sincere warning for you, that woman is promiscuous so just have fun with her, don’t ever get serious."
Xiang Shaolong knows that the misunderstanding is getting deeper so he hurriedly said, "Business is more important, I can live with or without such matters."
How can Zhao Mu possibly believe him but before he has a chance to speak further, the official at the door reported, "Lord Longyang from the State of Wei arrives!"
The hall was immediately quiet, obviously everyone was waiting to see this person and most have not seen this pretty man who is famous for his good looks.
There was a strange gleam in Zhao Mu’s eyes as he stared at the entrance.
The sounds of trinkets were heard as Lord Longyang strolled into the hall floatingly, dressed in colorful robes and accompanied by 4 to 5 swordsmen.
The hall immediately came abuzz with whisperings; the topic of conversation is naturally around this transgender male.
Zhao Mu tapped Xiang Shaolong’s shoulder and went forward.
Guo Kai came to
