It was the last day of the deadline for leaving the mansion, and Su Guanyan saw Anping bring people to guard the attic early in the morning, as if he would be packed and thrown out if he was delayed for a moment.

"Reminder! Reminder! Reminder!" Zhuyue threw the package on her shoulders and stuck behind Su Wanyan, looking up at the tall and thick man behind Anping, pouting and muttering in a low voice.

Director An's mouth was pursed and his uncontrollable complacency was written all over his face. Su Guanyan walked up to him and bowed respectfully, "Guanyan bids farewell to Director An... I will thank you for these days!"

"No problem." Anping raised his head and did not return the salute. He waved his hands and said, "Young Master Su is a talented person. He will surely make great achievements in the palace at sunrise! Anping, I wish you a great success and smooth sailing."

It was so nice to say, Su Guanyan couldn't put in a word, and was "invited" out of the palace with a fake smile all the way.

Outside is the sky and the earth, but the only place to return to is unable to go back.Su Guanyan took a deep breath, weighed the money in his hand, walked along the avenue in front of the palace to the end, turned around and walked into the narrow alley.Shutting back and forth between the high walls, Zhuyue felt that she was going to faint inside, only to see a simple shed made of broken wooden boards between two houses.

The Sumerian pushed away the wooden board blocking the door without hesitation, and his excited tone seemed to pick up a treasure: "I didn't expect it to be there, I thought it would be dismantled and used as firewood!"

The small room is ventilated on all sides, and a few stones in the corner prop up the wooden boards to barely count as a bed.Su Guanyan felt crowded standing alone inside, Zhuyue stared at the door without moving, opened her mouth to look at Su Guanyan: "Master, you don't want to live here!"

"Don't be disgusted." Su Guanyan patted his sleeves and waved to the people outside the door: "I used to live here, but now I haven't lived here for a long time, and it's a bit dilapidated! Don't stand still, you can live in it if you tidy it up, Pearl Yue you sleep in the bed inside, Xiao Zhe and I will go out to buy some straw in a while, and we can make a bed on the floor for a long time! I don’t know when the prince will delay his real departure. What if we spend all our money in advance? But what should I do? Besides, there will be many places to spend money in the future, so save as much as you can!"

The money in his arms was still warm, and he was about to move into this damn place without moving a single thing.No matter how poor she was in the village before, Zhuyue pouted and tugged at Xiaozhe's cuffs half reluctantly: "Please persuade my son to find a place to settle down, as long as it is better than this place!"

"A good place costs money." Su Guanyan got out of it with a short body, smiled embarrassedly, took off her robe and stuffed it for Zhuyue, rolled up her sleeves, opened the door for ventilation, and directed Xiaozhe to fold wicker and come back. Clean the room.

As soon as autumn comes, the temperature changes greatly. In the middle of the night, the cold wind blows and makes people shiver.Countless times she woke up from the cold, Su Guanyan habitually touched the money in her arms, and then tightened her cloak with peace of mind, opened her eyes to see the little girl shaking into a ball and Xiao Zhe who was sticking to her, looking for tomorrow Do you want to spend money to buy two quilts?

Before drowsiness surged to occupy his head, there were soft footsteps outside the dilapidated house.The moon is dark and the wind is high, either rape or robbery!Could it be that he is from Anping?Murder?Su Guanyan's nerves tensed up, and he slowly got up, taking a breath of air in his chest and dared not make a sound.

"Bang bang!" Two gongs disturbed the actions of outsiders, and a rough and loud voice came from not far away: "Where did the thief come from?! You don't sleep at night, what are you doing secretly? Prince Chu of Jinyang Mansion Jumping under the eyelids, it's deadly!"

The sound of footsteps disappeared all of a sudden, and through the cracks in the wooden planks it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. Su Guanyan sat on the straw mat without moving, and the surrounding was unnervingly quiet.

"Master Jiang said that someone will protect us." A thin voice came from beside him, and Su Guanyan lowered his head to meet Xiao Zhe's eyes.During the daytime, the dusty clothes covered up the sharpness, only then did he realize that there was a shrewd energy in his dark eyes exuding from his bones.

No wonder Jiang Chongqin wanted him to stay by his side, Su Guanyan nodded scribbled, and then lay back on the meadow, completely lost sleepiness.Like the low air pressure before a storm, he suddenly began to feel uneasy - once the game is settled today, it will be the cusp of the storm, and it will be difficult to return to the way it was before.

The urgent express report of the Tongzhou crisis was delivered for several days, and Han Xinchen finally couldn't sit still.Transferring the army to leave Jiangdong is to leave a loophole for the emperor, but if he really loses all the ground because of this, he will push himself into a dead end. He knows better than anyone else what is more important.

The news that the King of Chu mobilized 30 Jiangdong troops to conquer the King of Qin spread throughout the Jinyang Mansion. Those who had waited for half a month heard the news and hurried to the gate of the city wearing a hexagram.There were five layers of people inside and out, and Su Guan smoked the crowd and pushed aside the crowd, ignoring the abuse and squeezing to the front row—on the tenth day of September, swear to the north!

The horse market was extremely deserted, and Su Guanyan slipped away with all her belongings and never saw a single horse seller.

"It's weird!" Zhuyue looked around, and found out why she could see the horse buyer but not the horse seller. She tilted her head and couldn't figure it out. Are you a businessman?"

Su Guanyan was also surprised. Just as he was about to speak, he saw an old man with a pale complexion approaching him. The strong bad breath made his stomach churn.

The old man grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, and his voice sounded like it had been polished with sandpaper: "Master, are you buying a horse?"

"Mmm," Su Guanyan took a step away, nodded, and pulled Zhuyue to stand behind her.

"Hehe", the old man chuckled twice, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the gums were squeezed out from the corners of his eyes: "Now the prince is going to go to war, and all the horses are under their control. If you want to buy a horse, you must have a special order from the government... As for It would be difficult to deal with this decree, but the old man thinks that this young master has a good eye..."

"You have a solution?" Su Guanyan lowered his voice and looked suspiciously at the old horse seller.

Stretching out four fingers and shaking in front of the other person's face, the old man nodded solemnly: "There is a horse in my family that doesn't have an official serial number. If you want to buy it, you can sell it for 40 taels!"

"40 taels! Why don't you go grab the money!" Zhuyue jumped out from behind, raised her head, her eyebrows twisted into a knot: "Young master, I think he is a liar! 40 taels and a family of three lived in peace for more than ten years Days, who do you think has such expensive horses!"

Su Guanyan put his hands on Zhuyue's head, scanned the old man's eyes, and said with a smile: "If the old man's horse is Chitu and Delu, it will be worth the price! Anyway, I still have to go and see it!"

The old man's stable was some distance away from the horse market. It took Su Guanyan and Zhuyue and Xiaozhe a full half an hour to smell the stench of horse manure. There was only a single black horse in the fence blocked by a few wooden stakes.

"Too thin!" Su Guanyan glanced from a distance, lowered the corner of her mouth and shook her head: "Your horse is too thin, I'm afraid it won't be able to walk far!"

Hearing this, the old man turned over and jumped into the fence, and slapped the horse's buttocks twice: "Where there is nothing! You look energetic!"

It's okay if you don't shoot, but in this shoot, the skinny horse didn't run two laps with joy, but threw out a pile of shit directly with its hind legs trembling.The old man chattered with his mouth crooked, and smiled to himself: "I have a bad temper! Even a good horse has a bad temper!"

"I'm not stupid, and I'm not blind. Your horse was returned by the army because of horse plague!" Su Guanyan walked such a long way with the sun on his head to see such a sick horse that couldn't ride. I just felt that I was making people play, and I felt uneasy for a while, and my tone became more and more cold.

"There is only one of my horses in a radius of more than ten miles." The old man got out of the fence, ignoring the horse manure on his body, and hurriedly said: "I only got this horse when I was sick. I don't want to pull all the good ones." Go to the front line! You have to hurry, I have other ways..."

He went to the horse market this morning, guessing that what the old man said was true, Su Guanyan pressed his temper and asked, "Then what else do you think can be done?"

"My family has a donkey that pulls the mill." The old man licked his lips, patted his chest and said, "My donkey is the best donkey in the area for more than a dozen miles. It eats less and works much better. The key is that it runs fast. If you give me a carrot, you can run faster than ordinary ponies! Young Master, at first glance, he looks like a scholar who has seen the world. If the old man doesn’t brag about it, my family..."

If he couldn't buy a good horse, he had to get up as soon as possible, otherwise he would definitely miss the scheduled schedule.Su Guanyan no longer listened to his "Legend of the Donkey", and waved his hand impatiently to interrupt the old man, spitting all over the place: "Let's make a price!"

"20 taels!" The old man asked for the price without blinking his eyes.

Su Guanyan took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, weighed it in his hand and threw it to the old man: "That's all! Any more!"

Although it is a little less than expected, buying a donkey is more than a mistake. The old man hung his head and patted his legs, and acted for a long time with a heartbroken look. Seeing that the handsome boy opposite had no intention of raising the price at all, he stood up and rubbed his old face. : "Looking at the young master's face, the old man will take it as a good thing! My donkey is psychic. You should wait for it to come underground. It can communicate with ghosts."

"Really?" Zhu Yue suddenly said, looking at the ruined old man with admiration.

"Pfft..." Xiao Zhe, who was silently following behind, couldn't help laughing.Why do you believe all nonsense? Su Guanyan looked at Zhuyue with bright eyes helplessly, and said with a joke: "Maybe the ox-headed horse-faced under the ground knows our 'God Donkey', and when you see him, Zhuyue, you little good man, you can go up to him." It's close. In the future, you should communicate more with the 'God Donkey' along the way, maybe it will go down early and you will live a long life."

Finally realizing that she was being ridiculed, Zhuyue followed Su Guanyan sullenly with a downcast face, pouting her mouth, tears welling in her eyes: "You know how to laugh at people! Young Master, you have learned badly from Young Master Jiang!"

The author has something to say: Whoops!Come and praise me!Recently, I have been very punctual. . .
