Chu Shao woke up from the dream again profusely sweating, just in time to see someone sitting beside his bed.

He drank too much wine last night, and his mind is still a little dazed and unconscious. The person sitting by his bed turned his head slightly, smiled at him, and said in his dreaming voice, "You're awake!" ?”

Chu Shao called him blankly: "Brother."

Unexpectedly, the man responded: "Huh?"

He responded to this sentence, but Chu Shao didn't dare to move anymore, he stared at the person in front of him with his eyes open, mobilized his last sobriety and pinched his palm fiercely.

A flower in front of you.

Sure enough, it was still a dream.

Zhou Lanmu looked at him in surprise, and said with a joking smile: "A few days ago you were so tense and refused to call, why are you so happy today?"

"Why are you here?" Chu Shao supported his head and sat up, coughing lightly, "Wei Cheng and the others...haven't left yet?"

"Isn't it because I received some interesting things?" Zhou Lanmu tilted his head, and waved a letter in his hand at him, "Come, have a look."

Chu Shao sat up and took the letter in his hand: "What is this?"

However, there were only a few lines in the letter, which were in Qi Lang's handwriting: "I know most of the story of the death of Sichuan, and there is no need to investigate Wei Qiange's death. King Ping sent a letter to Zhongyang, only saying that the Spring Inn incident was his fault. I thought about it, and I always felt that this person had evil intentions, and now that the two of you are out, you can disguise yourself and go to the southeast to inquire, be careful."

"The matter of Wei Qiange has been fooled. After you and I return to Zhongyang, we will report the matter of Qin Mu to the eldest son." Zhou Lanmu said, "Now that the letters are all in the hands of the Wei clan, I am afraid it is not safe."

"That's natural." Chu Shao turned over and got up from the bed. He hoped that Qi Lang would know about it later, so that the Wei clan could do it more easily, "But what the eldest son means... is that he suspects that King Ping is planning to rebel, and he wants you and me to investigate. Have a look?"

"The distance to the southeast has always been the most worrying place for the royal family," Zhou Lanmu said with a smile as he watched him put on his shoes and tie his clothes. "Besides, King Ping is powerful now. If he really wants to rebel, it must be a headache."

"Go over there." Chu Shao replied, "It's just...Prince Ping doesn't invite you, so you go by yourself, isn't it good?"

"Let's keep a low profile first, and we'll talk about it when the time comes." Zhou Lanmu stood up and looked out, "It's best not to let King Ping find out about our actions. If he really wants to rebel, he has to do it secretly, so that he can find out. .”

Wei Cheng helped Ling back to Zhongyang that morning, Zhou Lanmu called Bai Canglang again, and the three of them embarked on the official road to the southeast together.

This time I set off to the southeast again, which is different from the previous light car and simple travel.

The people from Zhoulan Muchalange prepared a carriage of the highest specification, filled it with warm clothes, food and wine, and even brought a whole set of tea sets.Because Zhou Lanmu was always afraid of the cold and Bai Canglang was lazy because he didn't want anyone to accompany him, only Chu Shao was driving outside, and the two of them were left laughing and playing chess in the carriage.

"It's great to be rich," Bai Canglang lay on his side in the carriage casually holding a sunspot. He changed into a white robe made of the best material, and he was in a good mood. It’s bitter, I’m going to live a good life for a few days now—I’m really happy that I don’t have to work hard for others to do something I don’t like.”

"Brother Bai has always been a chivalrous man, he is not stingy with gold and silver. These are just possessions." Zhou Lanmu also changed his clothes, but he was still dressed in white with a red undershirt, and his long hair was loose, with only a few strands neatly neatly Comb it to the front to add a bit of warmth.

"The things I do on weekdays make me happy, so I don't really care about them," Bai Canglang hesitated, with a sly smile on his face, "But if you meet a rich man and don't want me to reciprocate, why not?" Wouldn't it be fun to do it?"

Zhou Lanmu clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Brother Bai is a wonderful person, he knows how to enjoy the fun around him."

"Mr. Lan is also a wonderful person." Bai Canglang finally dropped a piece and ate a large piece of his chess pieces, "know how to share with others."

So the two happily played a few games of chess in the car, brewed a few pots of tea, and even got up together.Chu Shao sat outside the carriage bitterly, and couldn't help showing a wry smile when he heard the two talking to each other.

The Death River is in the west of Zhongyang, and it is far away from the southeast, and it will take at least six or seven days to walk.Fortunately, all the way is an official road, so at the end of the first day, the three of them rested in a posthouse by the roadside.

This inn is on the official road, and it seems that there are many people from the world who walk, come and go, and travel on weekdays, so when the three of them entered the door, the tables and chairs for drinking and eating in the lobby were already full.Xiao Er greeted him with a smile, and it took him a long time to find a vacant seat.

After a simple meal, the three of them called Xiao Er to book a room.

"I'm really sorry, there are only two guest rooms left, both of which are of the highest quality. If the guest officer is not short of the money, I will book them for you," the waiter laughed with the four of them, "If it's too expensive, maybe I have to feel sorry for a few of you making floor bedding in the lobby. But there are a lot of people making floor bedding, and the shop has prepared enough bedding, you see—"

Bai Canglang lifted the long veil that covered his face in front of him, and said, "Hey, hey, Mr. Lan, you are rich, it's all settled! I have a cleanliness habit, so I must never live with other people! "

Zhou Lanmu said helplessly: "Then I will trouble you to book both rooms for us."

Xiao Er replied with a smile on his face: "Hey, it's okay."

He turned around and was about to continue working when Chu Shao, who was sitting next to Zhou Lanmu, suddenly spoke in an unnatural tone: "Wait... Please, Xiao Er, prepare an extra set of bedding for me."

He has been walking with Zhou Lanmu recently, and the relationship between the two is much closer than before, but since they slept in the same bed that night, he always felt a little awkward.

After all, Zhou Lanmu teased him too much, and he always thought of another person in a trance... If this continues, I don't know what will happen.

Zhou Lanmu lowered his eyelashes and glanced at him lightly.
