When he woke up, Yu Zhi found that he was already at the gate of Kyoto. The three characters "西城门" were clearly written on the stone brick wall.
Yu Zhi rubbed his head and recalled everything that happened before falling asleep. When Lao Huang's wretched smile appeared in his mind, Yu Zhi spat hard and then stepped on it with his feet.
"This wretched old guy!"
This completely ended Yu Zhi's hope of finding three more people.
Outside Kyoto are vast mountains, and there are countless bamboos growing there. Yu Zhi was very depressed. In his eyes, the mountains covered with snow all looked the same.
And Lao Huang had already disappeared.
"Oh, what a heartless and unjust person." Yu Zhi sighed in his heart. Then, he walked towards the city gate. After leaving for three days, he didn't know that there was an undercurrent in the capital.
The West Gate of Kyoto is the main passage in and out, so the gates are wider than the other gates and are more heavily guarded.
From the entrance of the West City Gate, you can see the imperial city in the distance, as if it is on the clouds. Just one glance makes people feel awe.
Yu Zhi was walking on the street. Xicheng Gate happened to be the city gate closer to Qiu Mansion, and Xichengli was also a lively place.
As Yu Zhi walked among the crowd, all he could hear were gossips, mostly idle things. Only one piece of unclear news caught Yu Zhi's attention.
There was a young man in white who had been blocking the House of the Minister of Revenue for three days.
Yu Zhi grinned. He guessed that this must be Ye Qinghuan. While feeling relieved, he was also a little worried. Not everyone can block the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, at least not with Ye Qinghuan's current strength.
And Ye Qinghuan's ability to block the situation for three days was beyond Yu Zhi's expectation. "Looking at Bai Li's dandy appearance, this Hubu Shangshu is not a good person either. How can Qing Huan be allowed to make such a noise?"
Qiu Mansion is located on Baihu Avenue in the West City. There are not many pedestrians coming and going on weekdays, but today there were many people gathered in front of Qiu Mansion.
Yu Zhi took a closer look and saw clearly that several young men were waiting for someone in front of the Qiu Mansion. And their clothes, which were not ordinary people from Chu, attracted many people to watch.
"People on the grassland?" Yu Zhi thought to himself.
Yu Zhi had never been to the north, but he had seen the clothes of the people on the grassland in the picture album, which were roughly the same as the ones in front of him, plus the braids on the back of these people's heads. Yu Zhi was even more convinced.
"Who are the distinguished guests of the Wolf Court Mission?" Yu Zhi stepped forward and asked.
It was Mengsi who took the lead. Since meeting Qiu Ruoruo, Meng Si has been attracted to this Chu woman. In his own words, he saw many fierce horses on the grassland, and also wanted to see flying fish in the Sichuan sea.
Men on the grassland have always been direct. After three days of missing her, Meng Si came to Qiu Mansion, wanting to see Qiu Ruoruo again.
However, the Qiu family's guard did not let Mengsi in, and just replied that the lady was not here.
When Meng Si saw the young man standing in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and a look of disgust appeared on his face. Then someone came to push Yu Zhi away.
The arrogant look left Yu Zhi speechless, not knowing what to be proud of.
Yu Zhi naturally didn't want to be upset, so he turned around and walked towards the gate of Qiu Mansion.
The guards of Qiu Mansion rushed to greet him and said, "Master Yu."
Yu Zhi responded and asked as he walked: "Who is that guy outside? He has a bad face and is blocking the Qiu family's door."
The guard also had a wry smile on his face, "This guy came early in the morning and said he wanted to see the lady, but the lady is not in the house. The man has been standing in front of the house for several hours."
"Then you just let them stand in front of the mansion? Others thought something happened to Qiu Mansion!"
The guard rolled his eyes, "Master, do you mean to drive him away?"
"Of course not. What I mean is, why don't you welcome us in and wait? It's not good for the distinguished guests of the mission to be rejected in the Qiu Mansion and spread to the court." Yu Zhi said. The Steppenwolf Court Mission is a very sensitive entity in Kyoto. The fighting between Dachu and the Prairie Wolf Court has never stopped. Many people in Kyoto have lost their close friends and relatives to the prairie cavalry. Now that they have the opportunity, they cannot miss it.
What Yu Zhi was afraid of was that this man would die at the gate of Qiu Mansion. Yu Zhi felt that he was really a good person. Even if he was dumped, he still thought about others' safety.
The guard was in trouble again and said, "The master won't let me."
Yu Zhi stopped for a moment, then burst into laughter. He had forgotten that Qiu Jinfeng had guarded the border in the north when he was young, and had a bad impression of the grassland.
Meng Si and others were stunned when they saw the casually dressed young man entering Qiu Mansion, as if they had missed a treasure.
"Brother, what should we do? That boy seems to be from Qiu Mansion."
Meng Si's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait. I heard that the women here in Dachu are shy, and they also like men who can move her the most. I want to wait and let Miss Qiu know about me first. Determination."
Several people nodded secretly, firmly remembering Meng Si's words and taking them as truth. Little did he know that Meng Si's words were all based on his insights from the excerpts of operas in the streets and those romance novels these days.
If anyone knew this, they would definitely laugh out loud.
Yu Zhi took a nap after dinner, seeming to have something on his mind.
On the other side, the boy in white on Xuanwu Avenue left. In the past three days, there have been many speculations in Kyoto. They all said that the young master of the Bai family was visited by someone seeking revenge.
And Qiu Ruoruo also rushed from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to Qiu Mansion. Qiu Ruoruo had a bad premonition about Yu Zhi's inexplicable disappearance. She thought about using all the power of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to plead with Qiu Yu who was unmoved.
Qiu Yu is not cruel. On the contrary, it is widely known in every household in Kyoto that Qiu Yu loves his daughter as much as she wants. The Prairie Wolf Court's mission is still in Kyoto, which has consumed most of the energy of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. These days, Qiu Yu has also ordered dozens of people to listen to his daughter's orders, but he can also distinguish between them. Heavy.
After Qiu Ruoruo learned that Yu Zhi had returned to Qiu Mansion, she just snorted, put on her exquisite velvet robe and left.
Qiu Yu was sitting in the lobby. There were four big words written on the plaque on the hall - Mirror hanging high. This was a consistent decoration in Kyoto's yamen, even the Five Cities Military and Horse Department was no exception.
After sending Qiu Ruoruo off in good spirits, Qiu Yu returned to his usual serious and majestic commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Unfortunately, all this was seen by his subordinates.
"Sir, there is no way for girls to stay in college. My daughter is like this too."
"Yes, Ruoruo looks better and better the more she thinks about it. I should have found her a husband, but now it saves me a lot of trouble. I don't know which family's boy is so lucky that Ruoruo can worry about her."
…
When Qiu Yu heard this, he suddenly lost his temper and said, "Ganggun, you all have nothing to do, right? Patrol the streets for me! The old man is so rude!"
Several subordinates were so frightened that they ran out of the room quickly. Only in shock did they think about why Qiu Yu was suddenly angry.
"You're stupid! Can't you see how much adults dote on Ruoruo? If some bastard kidnapped your daughter, would you be happy? I won't touch your pig brain!"
"You are the brain of a pig!"
The two disliked each other and went out to patrol the city.
Listening to the sounds outside, Qiu Yu felt an unexplainable feeling in his heart. He was the only one in the entire Five Cities Military and Horse Division who knew who Qiu Ruo was looking for.
"Hey, why do you have such bad taste, but you fall in love with this guy." Qiu Yu waved his hand, with a sad look on his face.
The Qiu family has been a high-ranking official in all generations, and it has reached its peak in Qiu Jinfeng's generation. It is no lie to say that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
However, no family can prosper for no reason.
Emperors of the past dynasties all had their own styles, different preferences, and different degrees of intimacy and distance. Under the imperial power, one is cautious and cautious. One day the Qiu family may be in charge, but tomorrow it may be someone else.
Therefore, Qiu Yu had already identified several in-laws for Qiu Ruoruo, not only for the Qiu family's status in the court, but also for Qiu Ruoruo's future.
"The Bai family, the Zhao family, and the Lin family all want to marry my Qiu family. We should find a day for Ruoruo to meet each other. It must be the man she likes." Qiu Yu planned in his heart, because Yu Zhi arrived, Qiu Ruoruo's marriage was also put on the agenda.
Seeing Qiu Yu with a sad face, those guys who didn't know the inside story must have thought that they had encountered another difficulty.
…
Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan met at the door. Of course, Qiu Ruoruo also met Mengsi.
Qiu Ruoruo frowned, she didn't want to have anything to do with the mission at this time. The guards not only brought the news of Yu Zhi's return to Qiu Ruoruo, but also the news of Meng Si.
"Please come into the house and sit down for a while." Qiu Ruoruo politely invited Mengsi, and walked into the guest room with Ye Qinghuan without giving her a chance to speak.
Meng Si closed his mouth without any sign of anger. The unfavorable record on the grassland did not make Meng Si proud.
What you don’t get is always in turmoil.
Mengsi and his party entered Qiu Mansion and drank tea for the first time in their lives.
Yu Zhi was dragged out of bed by Qiu Ruoruo, his eyes were bleary.
"Miss?" Yu Zhi shouted vaguely.
Qiu Ruoruo opened her eyes with confusion. She wanted to know what happened to Yu Zhi in the past three days and why he disappeared into Prince Zhao's mansion out of thin air.
"Brother Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?" Qiu Ruoruo said.
Yu Zhi woke up after hearing the voice clearly and said, "It turns out to be Qiuqiu. What's wrong? What do you want from me?"
Qiu Ruoruo put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "What are you talking about? You were missing for three days and didn't say a word when you came back. It's nothing to worry about!"
Qiu Ruoruo's voice was so loud that it almost deafened Yu Zhi's ears. Yu Zhi also knew that Qiu Ruoruo was really angry this time. From the guards' mouths, Yu Zhi learned a lot. Qiu Ruoruo went to Prince Zhao's Mansion, and Ye Qinghuan went to Bai's house. Neither of these things is easy. The other party's power is not something that two young people can challenge, even with the support of the big tree of the Qiu family.
"Brother Ye, let's go. I really wish this guy couldn't come back. It's in vain that we have been busy these days, and you were beaten in the Bai family."
Qiu Ruoruo complained, holding Ye Qinghuan's arm and wanted to leave.
