After all, Huainan is a rich place, with continuous trade.After the rebellion, even though there were many people who would rather take a detour than Shouchun, there were also some merchants who were greedy for profit and inevitably passed by here often.

The soldiers guarding the city held their long halberds in their hands and did not dare to relax at all. Those who stopped them searched their bodies carefully, and then cautiously glanced at the leader.

The guard leader leaned against the wall, clasped his hands and looked him up and down again, then nodded and let him go.

Midsummer has passed, and the heat has not subsided, so hot that people are inevitably a little absent-minded.The leader was squinting his eyes boredly looking into the distance, and suddenly straightened up.

Under the bright sun, the official road outside the city was sparsely populated and the green shade was like clouds, but there was a faint line of shadow in the extreme eye, and he could see it more and more clearly as he went from far to near.The attendants controlled the horses with sabers, and surrounded the two carriages, one in front and one behind. The carriages came rumblingly, imposing, and some people in the long line behind them held high black banners, and the banners were waving.

The leader cheered up and pulled over a guard. The guard was ordered to run into the city in a hurry, and he straightened up his armor and walked quickly to meet the convoy, "Welcome to Taiwei and Yushi from afar. I have been waiting for a long time!"

"Yeah." Su Bai reined in his horse and said to the leader, "Let's enter the city."

"Hold on, my lord." The leader looked at the young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Our county sheriff has set the rules. You have to go through the inspection before entering the city. The younger ones have to follow the rules."

Su Bai froze, turned his head to look at the carriage, and felt even more guilty.

After all, the two carriages were empty.

A few days ago, he received a message from the young master, knowing that they were already in the city, but that was all he knew, and he couldn't make contact. Seeing that the journey was getting closer, he could only bite the bullet and come to Shouchun. I just hope that when the young master will fall from the sky, it is best to fall directly into the car, so as not to worry him again.

But now all the car inspectors are here, son, why are you so late.

Seeing that Su Bai didn't respond for a long time, the leader gave the guards next to him a wink, and the guards immediately stepped forward knowingly.

Su Bai turned his head abruptly, and shouted, "Presumptuous!"

The guards paused, hesitating and not daring to move again.

"This lord..."

"You guys don't know whose car this is, how dare you dare to offend?!" Su Baiti said.

"The little one naturally knows." The leader laughed, "Please don't blame me, my lord. The little one just followed the rules. You know the situation here. It's always good to be cautious. This is also for the sake of the two adults in the car."

"What's wrong with us coming here at the emperor's order?" Su Bai put on a show, "Besides, what are the identities of the two adults in the car? Are you qualified to investigate as soon as you say it?"

"This……"

"Then do I have the qualifications?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and the surroundings fell silent. The guards gave way, and the man rode forward and smiled, "I thought some other lord came, it turned out to be the attendant next to Lord Yushi."

Su Bai lowered his head, "...Master Sheriff."

"Master Han." The leader stepped aside respectfully.

Huainan is divided into four counties, the main one belongs to Jiujiang County, and Shouchun is also the capital of Jiujiang County. The man in front of him is Han Zhongwen, governor of Jiujiang County.After the death of King Huainan, the imperial court immediately sent officials to take over the duties of the feudal state. Although Huainan was now assigned to King Xiling, in terms of power, most of Huainan was actually in his hands.

Han Zhongwen looked away from Su Bai, and ordered: "Search according to the rules."

"Yes."

"My lord, think twice!" Su Bai said anxiously.

"It's just a simple inspection, and it won't offend the two adults." Han Zhongwen said, "Anyway, you and I both know that nothing can be found in the convoy. If that's the case, how about taking a look?"

"Please think about it, my lord!" Su Bai's thoughts turned sharply, "How noble are the lord Taiwei and my son, not to mention that we have the emperor's order to come here. If this is the case, we will not even be able to enter the city. Getting out of the car at the gate of the city under the scorching sun and being searched by people, isn't it to make Tianwei sweep the floor?"

Han Zhongwen frowned slightly and looked at him without saying a word.

Su Bai continued, "Furthermore, not to mention how Lord Yi Taiwei's temperament will react, if His Majesty finds out, you will have to bear the blame, Lord Han. Since you all know that in the convoy There’s nothing left, so why take the risk?”

After a moment of silence, Han Zhongwen nodded slowly, "There is some truth to what you said." He looked at the carriage parked behind, and raised his voice: "In this case, please invite the two adults into the city, and the officials will treat you well. "

The carriage was quiet and unresponsive.

Han Zhongwen glanced at Su Bai meaningfully, then at the carriage, turned around and went first, followed by the motorcade into the city.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief quietly, only to realize that his head was covered with sweat, he just felt that his mind had never been spinning so fast in his life, and it was a pity that he couldn't let the young master see it. After this time, but the young master doesn't show up again, what should I do?

Su Bai couldn't help turning his head back, watching the carriage slowly turn out of the corner of the alley, and followed steadily behind.

"You look very restless?" Han Zhongwen slowed down at some point and spoke in front of him.

Su Bai quickly laughed and said, "Why, how could it be?"

Han Zhongwen didn't ask any more questions, he arrived at his mansion in a blink of an eye, the gate was wide open, and a line of soldiers came out to welcome him.He got off his horse and stared at the two carriages, "Here we are, please get off the carriage and enter the house."

Before there was any movement in the carriage, Su Bai got off the horse and said as he walked up, "Master Han, my son..."

Han Zhongwen glanced over, and the government soldiers immediately stopped Su Bai.He walked to the side of the car step by step, looked at Su Bai who was full of anxiety but couldn't say anything, turned his head and said in a low voice to the car curtain: "Master Taiwei and Lord Yushi have come all the way from Beijing Zhongyuan, get off The officer is very grateful, and I am here to greet you." After a pause, but there was no answer, he stretched out his hand.

Before Han Zhongwen touched the car curtain, a paper fan slowly opened the embroidered car curtain from the inside, revealing his beautiful eyebrows, and smiled with the corners of his lips, "Master Han is so patient."

Han Zhongwen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hand and saluted, "Lord Chu."

"Heh," Su Bai put his fingers against the ebony car frame, Chu Mingyun tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Master Han, is this how you came to greet him?"

"My lord means..." Han Zhongwen raised his head in confusion.

Chu Mingyun suppressed his smile, "Kneel down."

Han Zhongwen's face suddenly changed. He looked around and stared at the servants here, and then turned his gaze back to Chu Mingyun's face with difficulty. After a moment of stalemate, he gritted his teeth, and finally knelt down in full view Go down, bow your head, "Your Majesty... Your Excellency is welcome."

Chu Mingyun didn't speak, but looked down at him indifferently.It was dead silent, even Su Bai held his breath carefully, not daring to make any sound.

Finally Chu Mingyun averted his eyes boredly and got out of the carriage.

Han Zhongwen still bowed his head and knelt until he saw a white robe passing by before he heard a gentle voice say: "Master Han, please get up, you don't have to be so formal."

Han Zhongwen took a deep breath, clenched and loosened his fists hidden in his sleeves, he straightened his expression, stood up, and said to Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu: "Shouchun City is the most heavily guarded among the government houses, and the nearby residences are more dense than others. No, so I boldly arranged for two adults to live in my house, I wonder if the adults will be satisfied?"

Su Shiyu smiled lightly, "Then disturb Mr. Han."

"It's okay, I'll take the two adults in."

The mansion is huge, Han Zhongwen leads the way in the front, Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu walk side by side, and the attendants follow behind, passing by the green bamboo paths on both sides, where the wind blows softly rustling, you can see green shadows whirling.

Suddenly there was a sound of trotting, followed by a shout of surprise: "Hey! Big Brother!" Nunuo's voice was quite familiar.

They stopped and looked, and a small man came out from the path, stretched his white and tender arms and waved, "Big Brother!" Seeing Han Zhongwen who was frowning again, "Ah, there is also Daddy!" Ziming said to him. Behind him said, "Mother, come and see, the powerful big brothers have come to our house!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, where did the big brother come from..." Liu Yunzi raised her eyes, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Chu Mingyun laughed inexplicably, and looked sideways at Su Shiyu, "This is really interesting."

Su Shiyu closed his eyes and remained silent. Seeing Liu Yunzi's eyes flicker, he calmed down immediately, and pulled the child forward to salute, "I am not good at disciplining me. Please don't be offended, both adults."

"It's okay..."

"Big brother, you guys..." Before Su Shiyu finished speaking, Han Ziming happily wanted to get close to him, but Liu Yunzi pulled him back.

"Have you seen it?" Han Zhongwen asked Liu Yunzi.

Liu Yunzi pressed the children tightly, raised her eyes to look at them, then lowered her eyes and shook her head again, and said, "I think these two are the Taiwei and Yushi that my husband mentioned, how can I have the honor to meet you because I live deep in the mansion?" .”

"Mom!" Han Ziming wanted to break away from her hand unhappily, "I've seen it before! A few days ago, my big brother saved us, how can you play tricks!"

Han Zhongwen looked at his youngest son suspiciously, and saw Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu's expressions were indifferent.

Liu Yunzi leaned down and took Han Ziming into her arms, and said softly: "Yes, two big brothers rescued us a few days ago, but they just passed by here and left long ago. You said they are big brothers, is it because These two adults are also wearing blue clothes and white clothes, so it is a mistake?"

Han Ziming's face wrinkled, he looked at Chu Mingyun, at Su Shiyu, and then at Liu Yunzi, and finally he could only lower his head and said sullenly, "Really...? Then... maybe Ziming admitted his mistake."

Liu Yunzi smiled, stood up and said to Han Zhongwen, "Don't worry, children will always have trouble remembering people. Husband, hurry up and bring the two adults into the hall. What are you doing standing here?"

Han Zhongwen didn't doubt that there was him, and upon hearing this, he briefly apologized to Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu, and continued to lead them into the main hall. After taking their seats, he said that he was going to go down and arrange something, and temporarily handed over the reception to Liu Yunzi.

The child had already been taken out by the maid, and Liu Yunzi poured tea in person, the green tea water rippling lightly, reflecting her downcast eyes.

Chu Mingyun looked at her sideways, and suddenly smiled, "I never expected to see Mrs. Liu again," he paused, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Ah, I was wrong, it should be Mrs. Han."

Liu Yunzi concentrated on filling up the cup, and laughed in a low voice, "I didn't expect that either." The meaning was unclear.

"Please trouble Mrs. Han." Su Shiyu took the cup, "But in the end we should be more surprised. I didn't expect you, Madam, to lie for us. I am very grateful."

"Master Su, what are you talking about?" Liu Yunzi said calmly, "I am only a woman, I don't understand why the two adults concealed their identities and showed up that day, and I have no intention of investigating. The only thing I did was to repay the kindness of saving my life, and I have no other intentions." Without waiting for an answer, she left politely, "Your Excellency, take it easy."

Su Shiyu drank the tea lightly, looked away, and said with a faint smile, "This Mrs. Han is really smart and transparent."

"It's better than her husband." Chu Mingyun put Su Shiyu's shoulders, with a half smile.

"..." Su Bai stood beside him in a daze for a long time, seeing that no one else was around, and finally couldn't help but cautiously said, "...Young Master, Young Master, what are you talking about?"

Su Shiyu glanced at him with a smile, "It's nothing."

"Oh." Su Bai said, paused, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Master, when did you guys get in the carriage? I was almost scared to death!"

"After entering the city, Shiyu and I will arrive at the corner of the alley." Chu Mingyun said.

Su Bai was taken aback, "Why didn't I notice?!"

Su Shiyu smiled lightly, "If you can detect it, how can you hide it?"

"That's right." Su Bai nodded, and halfway through the point he suddenly realized something, stared at Chu Mingyun with wide eyes and said, "Chu, Master Chu...you, you, what did you call our young master just now..." His voice faltered suddenly, and he looked at the hand on Su Shiyu's shoulder in shock, "Master, don't you never let anyone touch you..."

"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun smiled, hooked his hair and slowly wrapped it around his fingertips, "But I can not only touch, but also touch."

"..." Su Shiyu took a deep look at him and pulled his hand.

Su Bai suddenly felt that he was not well.

Chu Mingyun simply embraced Su Shiyu, cast a slanting glance from the end of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't look, your son is already mine."

"What?!" Su Bai stared at Su Shiyu in disbelief, but saw that the young master only smiled lightly when he heard the words, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning. After a long while, Su Bai asked with a trembling voice: "...that, that, young master, Do you want to call him Madam instead?"

Chu Mingyun: "..."

"Tsk." Chu Mingyun pinched Su Shiyu's chin to make him face her, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you laughing at?"

Su Shiyu held back his smile, and met his eyes solemnly, "Is there?"

Chu Mingyun laughed softly, leaned over to touch his forehead, looked into his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You still don't admit it?" He lightly traced the line of his lips with his fingertips, and was about to kiss him immediately.

Before Su Bai closed his eyes and turned his head to run, Su Shiyu blocked him first, "Someone is coming."

"... World Honor."

"It's Li Che." Su Shiyu stood up and looked outside the hall.

Chu Mingyun sighed and turned his head impatiently to see Han Zhongwen coming through the court behind a handsome young man.

Li Che, the son of the King of Xiling, stepped into the hall, saw the two people standing up to meet each other at a glance, and saluted politely, "Lord Chu." Then he turned to Su Shiyu, looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Brother, long time no see .”
