Just after dawn, a carriage drove out from the back door of Hanjiang Pavilion, a tea house newly opened in the capital of Dajin Emperor a few months ago, and drove towards a city wall unsteadily. A soldier stepped forward to salute the carriage, and said in a deep voice under the faint morning light.

"Please show the token."

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Luoyu was a little dazed when he heard the words. He lifted the curtain of the carriage beside him and looked up at the high inner wall of the Dajin Emperor's Capital—in Dajin, except for the most central imperial city, The left and right sides of the imperial city are divided into inner cities, which are small cities within the city. On the left are the Bai and Murong families, and on the right are the Wuya and Xiao families. The Wei and Wei are as distinct as court halls.

Although he had entered the imperial palace and the right city in his previous life, he had never entered the left city. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and took out from his sleeve the token that Bai Yifan handed over in the apse yesterday with burning eyes, and brushed his finger over the engraved token. Bai Furong was just about to hand out the token when she heard a rush of horseshoes.

Refracted by the sunlight in the early morning mist, a man in a black cloak galloped towards this side. When he got to the side of the carriage, he stopped his horse suddenly, and a handsome but cold and indifferent face emerged from the mist. It seems more and more distant like a god

and.

"This is the carriage of Murong Mansion, I will go in with them."

The soldier guarding the gate had known the man on horseback for a long time, and immediately stepped aside when he heard the words, raised his hand and said, "Yes, General!"

Murong Hao nodded indifferently, and after entering the inner city with the horse and the carriage behind him, he saw the person who opened the curtain again and looked at him with interest, his eyes flashed enough to be called gentle With a warm look: "Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Seeing the smiling face of the man in the morning light, Jiang Luoyu couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips, but there was a hint of ridicule in her words, and a sly look on her face: "General, you're just so worried about me, you don't even want to leave?"

The person sitting on the horse coughed dryly twice, straightened up and did not look at the person in the carriage, as if he hadn't heard his question, but the person leaning on the window saw that the person's ears were a little red. Seeing how he blushed when he teased him not long ago, the smile on his lips couldn't help but deepen, and he continued to call out.

"General?"

He yelled a few more times, and found that Murong Hao was really not ready to respond. Jiang Luoyu blinked regretfully, and finally put down the curtain of the carriage, leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest, listening to the rattling noises outside the carriage. The sound of horseshoes, and an indisputable voice sitting in front of the carriage.

"My lord, the White Mansion is just ahead."

Before the words fell, Gemini, who was sitting in front of the carriage and dressed up, heard a slow voice from inside the carriage, with deep helplessness and a smile, and seemed to be helpless.

"Stop in front of the White Mansion in a while, and then let the man with the carriage outside come into the carriage. He came with me in such a hurry. It's fine for anyone who knows what he is for. If someone who doesn't know sees it, I thought I asked him to come with me on purpose, and wanted to give the White House a visible blow, didn't he think it was messy enough?"

The twins in front of the car couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and turned sideways after a while, speaking for the person on the horse: "My lord, Mr. Murong is also worried about you..."

"Why, even you are talking for him?" Jiang Luoyu retracted the bone fan in his hand and pressed it against the center of his brows. Hearing this, he couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and smiled at the twins in front of the car. "Mian Xing, who is your master, why are you turning your arms out?

At this time, the person sitting in front of the carriage was the twin Mianxing who had followed Jiang Luoyu for a long time. After hearing the words, he couldn't help but take another look at Murong Hao who was holding the reins and following behind the carriage, and smiled to the master in the carriage: "Young master, from what you said, naturally you are the master of Sleeping Star."

While the two were talking, the coachman had already slowed down the carriage. Looking from the outside of the carriage, a row of large houses with gray tiles and white walls and a pond a foot wide appeared behind the mist. When looking down from a slightly higher hillside, the houses are densely packed and it is almost impossible to tell how many houses there are. The emerald green and dark green lotus leaves are floating in the pond outside the house, and the huge bright red koi swim in the clear water, full of vitality. abundant.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Mian Xing looked around in amazement, and couldn't help but widen his eyes at the luxury of the Dajin clan: "My lord... this, this White House, is really beautifully built, although it is luxurious It's much less, but this elegance is a bit more elegant than that in the palace when we were in Dataki, in short, it's..."

Hearing this, Jiang Luoyu followed his gaze and glanced at him, her thoughts changed, and she sighed: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many aristocratic families fighting against each other, and most of these aristocratic families have been inherited for more than a hundred years. Let’s not mention the four largest families of the Dajin. In Dajin, the power of the family can even surpass the power in the hands of the emperor, which is why the emperor of the Dajin has always used the children of the family and suppressed the power of the family generation after generation.”

It is also for this reason that the current emperor is a decisive person, while Nan Jinglong in the previous life ascended to the throne of God, and the first thing he did after his power became stable was to cleanse the aristocratic family and replace him with his own people in the court— —If such an intricate scene were given to a weak and kind emperor like Otaki, he would have been devoured by these aristocratic families long ago.

"In fact, compared to the time when King Kong founded the country, the luxury of the aristocratic family has been weakened a lot. Back then... the Xiao family, the weakest of the four major families, used Baili Chanjuan as a tent, and pearls and jade to set foot on the ground. , there are more treasures and playthings in the mansion than in the imperial palace, the one who listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, and the one who lives and kills the next is unstoppable."

Listening to Jiang Luoyu's words, Mian Xing unconsciously pictured in his mind the situation at that time when the aristocratic family controlled the court, and even the emperor didn't pay attention to it. He couldn't help swallowing, and murmured: "Young master... sharp……"

"Your son is not so powerful, it's these aristocratic families who are powerful, and his years of experience are not just for fun." Jiang Luoyu looked at his dazed look, took out something from his sleeve with a smile, and waved the carriage to stop at the White Mansion In front of the door, "Stop talking about this, you go in right now, hand over the things to them, and then call the horseman outside."

Mian Xing took the box from Jiang Luoyu's hand, jumped out of the carriage, waved to Murong Hao who was riding beside him, and signaled him to come over. When General Xuanyi got off his horse and walked to the carriage, he threw the reins to the driver. The coachman replied with a smile when he got into the carriage, "Yes."

Seeing Mianxing go to knock on the door, Jiang Luoyu closed the car window, glanced at the serious-looking man in black, with a lazy and natural expression: "Go and drive, Mr. Murong, who made you insist on coming here? You went back to Hanjiang Pavilion, but your trip was in vain."

Murong Hao nodded, and skillfully drove the carriage back towards the outer city. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Since you're here, why don't you go in?"

The carriage was rolling, and Jiang Luoyu's fair and beautiful face was faintly visible in the curtains of the carriage: "General Murong has led the army for many years, and he has won countless battles against the enemy. I wonder if he knows the art of war?"

Hearing that melodious voice, Murong Hao couldn't help but turned his head to look at the person sitting in the car while driving, and the voice of that person rang in his ears, his beautiful face glistened in the sun, as if it had been plated with gold : "Do you know that there is a trick called playing hard to get?"

Just as the carriage left the inner city and headed back towards Hanjiang Pavilion, Sleeping Star dressed in plain clothes in front of the Baifu gate saluted Bai Yichen with a smile and said softly.

"Mr. Bai, please stop. My son's things and tokens have already been delivered, so you don't need to send any more."

Bai Yifan looked at the box and token in his hand, watched his figure recede with serious eyes, recalled that the carriage that the guards had reported had just been escorted by General Zhaowu when he first arrived, and immediately put down the two attendants and turned around. He turned his head away, and even the people in the carriage didn't get out of the carriage. He couldn't help but frowned deeply, and turned around to prepare to enter the mansion.

Who knew that he hadn't walked towards the palace-like courtyards of the White Mansion, and he didn't even have the time to put the box in his arms, when suddenly his eyes blurred, and several young girls crowded in front of him in a hurry. The lightning speed blocked his way.

One of the girls in the pink one-breasted peony gauze dress looks the smallest, but her face is the most charming. She walks in front of Bai Yifan with her lips pouting, and grabs his sleeves without letting go: "Brother! What's going on? Didn't you say that cousin Gemini will come back today, Wan'er and sister are waiting for you when you get up early in the morning, you can't count your words!"

Standing behind her was a girl in a lake-green plain skirt and a moon-white shirt with a double bun. She grabbed the girl in the pink shirt with one hand, and then grabbed Bai Yifan's other sleeve with the other hand. It's a look of reluctance: "That's right, how can you lie to our sisters, brother, you are too mean!"

Behind the two sisters are two teenagers. The longest one looks to be about the same age as Bai Yifan, with a vigorous figure and light steps. It can be seen that he has practiced martial arts for many years and has achieved little success. Sister Bai Yijiao and Bai Yiwan patted the shoulder of their brother next to them, and echoed.

"Brother, you see that Jiao'er and Wan'er are not happy anymore. If the twin cousins ​​really come, let them meet them. What's more, we don't have any twins of the same generation in our house. Our brothers want to see each other too. Listen It is said that the twin cousins ​​are General Zhaowu's sweetheart, so I don't know if they are good-looking or not?"

Bai Yifan has a headache when he sees his cousins, and secretly regrets that he shouldn't be too troublesome. He asked his younger brother Bai Yichen to follow his grandfather and wait for him to pick up Meng Yu. Now they heard the news and blocked him here. People, afraid that they can't even walk, have bitterness on their faces.

"Okay, okay, but I'm afraid of you, all of you are more troublesome than Yichen - I don't know if that person is our twin cousin, you should wait until his identity is confirmed before talking about anything else, okay? I I'm going to see grandpa, father and uncle now, don't get in the way!"
