Wen Chi had nothing to do, so he just lay down on the chair and rested.

Although the carriage was large, only Wen Chi and Ruofang were in it, and the rest of the people who served Wen Chi were arranged in another carriage.

Since getting into the carriage, Ruofang has been busy all the time.

Wen Chi woke up after a nap, turned around and saw Ruofang sorting out the things she brought, including small boxes that looked extraordinarily delicate.

"What's this?" Wen Chi curiously picked up one of the small boxes, opened it, and found that it contained Ruotao's pineapple cake.

"We're going to stay in the carriage for a while. The servant girl was worried that the young master would not get used to the food on the road, so she and Ruo Tao made some snacks temporarily. If the young master is greedy, he can satisfy his hunger," Ruofang said.

Wen Chi understood, no wonder Ruofang and Ruotao were busy in the kitchen when he was making the cake in the morning, it turned out that they were tinkering with these.

"You guys are really caring." Wen Chi picked up a piece of pineapple cake and stuffed it into his mouth, eating until his cheeks bulged on both sides, like a hamster chewing food, he sighed sincerely, "It's delicious. "

Hearing what Wen Chi said, Ruofang was also very happy: "If it's delicious, eat more."

Wen Chi ate four or five pineapple cakes in a row, and his throat was a little dry, so he asked Ruofang to pour him a glass of water.

In this way, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he just sat up, lifted the curtain in front of the car window and looked out, and found that they had already left the capital city, walking on the desolate avenue.

Looking forward, you can still see mighty people and horses.

The guards following the carriage noticed Wen Chi, and hurried over: "What orders does Mr. Wen have?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Chi asked, "Are we going to travel at night?"

"Don't hurry at night, everyone get a rest." The guard said, "If we can find the inn, we will escort Mr. Wen to the inn to rest. If we can't find the inn, we will have to work hard for Mr. Wen to spend the night in the carriage."

Wen Chi said a few words to the guard before putting down the curtain.

He turned his head and saw that Ruofang had already sorted things out.

I don't know what I thought of, but Ruofang's expression showed a bit of worry, she glanced at Wen Chi who was about to lie down as if nothing had happened, and after thinking about it, she said, "My lord, just keep quiet like this." I left the East Palace without hesitation, in case His Highness the Crown Prince blames me..."

Wen Chi waved his hand indifferently: "I have already greeted His Royal Highness, didn't I ask Ping An to send the cake?"

Hearing this, Ruofang couldn't laugh or cry: "But you didn't send that cake yourself, my lord."

Wen Chi paused, and muttered: "Anyway, His Royal Highness doesn't want to see me."

No matter how dull Wen Chi was, he could still feel that the emperor and the fourth prince seemed to have approached him many times, but they were blocked by Shi Ye every time, and Shi Ye seemed not to want him to participate in those political affairs.

However, this time, Shi Ye not only did not intervene, but also handed over the choice to him.

Wen Chi thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what Shi Ye was thinking.

In the end, he didn't know whether he was comforting Ruofang or comforting himself: "It's okay, since His Royal Highness gave me the right to choose, he should be ready to let me go, maybe he is still in my place right now." He took a breath and rejoiced."

So Ruofang was easily persuaded by Wen Chi, she nodded and said, "My lord is right."

The main road from the imperial capital to Jinzhou is in the wild mountains, so it is not easy to find the inn.

The whole team walked for two days and two nights, and Wen Chi stayed in the carriage for two days and two nights, barely getting out of the carriage except for convenience.

Until the evening of the third day, the walking team suddenly stopped.

After waiting for a while, the accompanying guards came over and told Wen Chi that the people in front had found the inn where they were staying.

Now they are only about ten kilometers away from the city gate of Jinzhou, and it is not uncommon to see an inn, but the accommodation environment of this inn is not as good as that in the capital or Jinzhou city.

When Wen Chi and Ruofang were brought into the inn by the guards, they saw a few familiar figures standing in the lobby of the inn from a distance.

The guard walked over, cupped his fists to the leader and said, "Report to King Xuan, Mr. Wen has been brought here."

Shi Jin turned his head, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go clean up."

The guard said yes and walked away.

Seeing a few people standing beside Shi Jin, Wen Chi didn't feel embarrassed to walk in front of Shi Jin, so he stood where he was and waited for their arrangement.

And Shi Jin over there waited for a long time, but Wen Chi didn't see any movement, so he had to walk towards him: "Mr. Wen."

Wen Chi hurried up to meet him: "Yes."

Shi Jin stopped half a meter away from Wenchi. He always had a gentle smile on his face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a clear voice: "We are expected to arrive in Jinzhou tomorrow morning, and I am afraid we will arrive in Jinzhou tonight." Rest here for a night, and I will arrange housing for you later."

"I'm fine." Wen Chi said, "It's all up to King Xuan's arrangement."

Shi Jin nodded, and said again: "I'm tired from running around on the road, I haven't had time to introduce other people to you, so come with me."

Wen Chi followed Shi Jin and walked over.

The few people who were talking to Shi Jin just stood still, looking in their direction eagerly. Seeing that Shi Jin led Wen Chi approaching, they all cast appraising glances.

Shi Jin introduced those people one by one for Wen Chi, without exception, they were young talents from the capital with names and surnames in the memory of the original owner. This time they also responded to the emperor's call and came from the capital to Jinzhou to help.

After that, Shi Jin introduced Wen Chi to those people: "He is General Lin's fourth younger brother Lin Yuan, his name is Zi Wen, you can just call him Mr. Wen."

When those people saw that Shi Jin valued Wen Chi so much, they thought it was someone sacred. They didn't expect that he was just a little-known pawn, and suddenly lost interest in talking with Wen Chi. After greeting Wen Chi, they turned their attention to Wen Chi. Moved away from Wen Chi.

Someone said: "Has General Lin not arrived yet?"

Others echoed: "Yeah, and Playboy didn't come either."

When Shi Jin heard the word "General Lin", his face immediately turned pale. He swallowed hard, turned to Wen Chi and said, "By the way, I have placed General Lin at the end of the team. When he comes, let's have dinner together."

Now that Wen Chi bears the name of General Lin's fourth younger brother, he still can't go too far with General Lin, for example, they always have to sit together when eating in the inn, which arouses suspicion from others.

Wen Chi knew this: "I will listen to King Xuan's arrangements."

After waiting for a short time, a guard came over and told Shi Jin that the housing had been arranged.

Shi Jin and those people still had important matters to discuss, so he asked the guards to lead Wen Chi upstairs first.

Wen Chi was accompanied by a bunch of people who waited on him, besides Ruofang, there were also people arranged by the emperor, the guards led Wen Chi to a room, and took Ruofang and others out.

After a while, Wen Chi heard a knock on the door.

He walked over to open the door, and saw Ruofang standing outside with a bunch of things in his arms: "My lord, I asked someone to bring these quilts from the carriage, so that you won't sleep unsuitably at night."

Wen Chi was overwhelmed with flattery, and hurriedly turned sideways to let Ruofang walk in.

Ruofang still had a package in her arms, she put the package on the table, and then went to the bed and quickly spread the bedding.

Wen Chi, who had nothing to do, sat at the table in a daze. Halfway through his mind wandering, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the package in front of him, and stretched out his hand to open it. There were neatly placed boxes for snacks inside.

Ruofang, who was still tidying the bedding, seemed to have seen Wen Chi's movements out of the corner of her eye, and said, "My lord, this servant is worried that you will be hungry at night, so I brought some snacks and put them right there. If you want to eat, you can eat it." got it."

Wen Chi said gratefully, "Thank you, Ruofang."

Ruofang said, "My lord is too polite."

After Ruofang spread the quilt, she was about to leave.

As a maidservant, she naturally cannot dine at the same table with Wen Chi, if only Wen Chi dines alone, she can still serve beside her, but later Wen Chi will dine with the Fourth Prince and General Lin, she Have to avoid suspicion.

Before leaving, Ruofang did not forget to tell her: "My lord, the slaves and others live in the next room, you can call us anytime you need something."

Wen Chi said hello.

After Ruofang left, the room suddenly became quiet.

Wen Chi ate a few pieces of snacks and was bored, so he had to take out the picture book he had prepared in advance to read.

Halfway through, a guard came and knocked on the door, saying that Wen Chi had gone downstairs for dinner.

Wen Chi quickly put away the drawing book, and after arranging his clothes a little, he went downstairs with the guards.

But before he left, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a box of snacks on the table. After hesitating for a while, he picked up a few boxes casually.

The guard led him to the private room on the first floor of the inn. There were already three people sitting in the huge private room.

Except for Shi Jin and General Lin, the back of the rest of the people looked very familiar.

With doubts, Wen Chi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The man seemed to have heard Wen Chi's approaching footsteps, turned his head slightly, and followed General Lin's gaze.

then--

Wen Chi saw a familiar face.

"Playboy?" Wen Chi couldn't hide the surprise on his face, "Why are you here?"

Just now Wen Chi heard those people asking about Huazi. He thought it was other Hua family members, but he didn't expect that Huazi was actually Huazizang.

Hanako was dressed in blue clothes just like at the peach blossom banquet that day, his long black hair was casually draped behind his shoulders, his appearance was cold, like a celestial being, but when he smiled, he was like a peach blossom blooming, his squinted eyes made the warm Chi thought of the cold moon in the sky.

"It's a coincidence." Hua Zizang said with a smile, "I just heard General Lin say Mr. Wen, and I wondered if that person could be you."

General Lin who was facing Wen Chi was also surprised, he looked at Wen Chi, then at Hua Zizang: "Zizang, do you know Mr. Wen?"

Hanako Zang: "I met once at the Peach Blossom Banquet."

General Lin laughed: "That's really a coincidence. I didn't expect that everyone at our table has been to the Peach Blossom Banquet. Everything is destined in the dark, don't you think? King Xuan."

As he spoke, General Lin looked at Shi Jin who had never spoken.

But Shi Jin's face was pale, with fine cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and he seemed to be wandering away, as if he didn't hear General Lin's voice.

Wen Chi hesitated and asked, "Is King Xuan uncomfortable?"

"I don't know, it's really weird." General Lin scratched his head inexplicably, and said naively, "I think he was fine before, but when I got close to him, he became like this. Could it be that the problem lies in On me?"

"I'm fine." Shi Jin finally came back to his senses, he pressed his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and made a gesture of invitation to Wen Chi, "Sit down, I've been tired all day, eat early and go to bed early Rest upstairs."

Wen Chi wanted to sit next to Shi Jin and Hanako, but before he could take his seat, Shi Jin waved to him.

"This side has a wide seat, sit here."

Hearing what Shi Jin said, Wen Chi had no choice but to walk over. He silently glanced at the gap between Shi Jin and General Lin. He was a little speechless, and finally sat down between Shi Jin and General Lin.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but after he sat down, Shi Jin seemed relieved.

The sloppy General Lin was ignorant, and carelessly called Xiao Er to serve the dishes.

When he was about to finish his meal, General Lin caught a glimpse of several boxes that Wen Chi put aside, and asked, "That's it?"

"Oh, these are some snacks prepared by my maid before departure. I haven't found a chance to give them to you before. Although they are a little cold, they still taste good. I specially brought them for you to try."

It happened that Wen Chi took three boxes, one for each person.

Finally, when it was given to Hanako, Wenchi realized that this box was slightly different from other boxes. Not only was it much heavier, but the patterns on it were also different, and it was carefully wrapped in a piece of beautiful silk. a few laps.

Wen Chi was a little hesitant, but then thought that Ruofang had never had any problems in this aspect, and he saw that other boxes were also different, so he confidently and boldly handed this box to Hanako.

Hua Zizang accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your kindness. I will taste it carefully after I return to my room."
