"Okay, just keep doing it!"
Wu Fan took a few deep breaths, his eyes darkened, and he raised his tea cup to see off the guests: "We talked a lot today. I will visit the Prime Minister's mansion another day."
"Um."
Sima Qin nodded, didn't stay much, and stood up to say goodbye with Taifu.
"General Wu, His Majesty has made a decree on Langzhou's affairs and ordered us not to interfere... I hope you will not make your own decisions."
"knew!"
Wu Fan was a little impatient, waved his hand and went back to the house.
His Majesty's Holy Judgment? Haha, it must be you, Sima Qin, who is handling it...
He didn't believe that the girl could make any wise decision without seeing the ministers in the palace!
Walking to the inner room, Wu Fan glanced around and asked the maid next to him: "Where is Yuan'er? If you haven't been at home every day, where have you been fooling around?!"
The maid hurriedly said: "Back to the master, the young master did not return from Miaoyin Pavilion last night..."
"Fuck him, tell him to come back to me right now!"
Wu Fan cursed angrily, lost his temper and drove away the maid.
At this time.
He was finally the only one left in the room.
a long time.
Wu Fan's eyes flickered, he took out a command talisman from the bookshelf and murmured to himself:
"My ancestors, I hope you won't blame me for what I will do next. This is also a helpless act for a minister."
"Since she can't properly be the emperor, then let me clean up the government and the public...even with the help of external forces!"
...
Outside the general's mansion.
Sima Qin and Taifu Su did not ride in the carriage. The two old men, who were over sixty years old, walked side by side and returned home slowly.
Along the way, both of them remained silent until they were in a place with few pedestrians. Sima Qin seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and spoke first:
"Master, what Wu Fan said makes sense."
"Aren't you afraid that your own students will go astray?"
Who knows.
As soon as these words came out, Taifu squinted his eyes and smiled, looking at him meaningfully.
"Xiangguo, are you testing me?"
"...What are you talking about!"
Sima Qin smiled awkwardly and wiped his sweat.
"Hmph! As you said, I am my own student, how can I not know her nature?" Taifu said leisurely, stroking his long beard.
"You guessed it too?"
Sima Qin was silent for a while and asked.
"I already knew she wasn't here."
The old lady nodded and walked forward slowly:
"But I won't ask her where she has been or what she is going to do. I just hope that in this lifetime... I can see her realize her wishes and see her accomplish what she wants."
"I am a student. Ever since I ascended the throne, I have rarely smiled in the palace."
The autumn wind blew down a few yellow leaves.
It fell on the Taifu's plain white robe.
Sima Qin looked at his back in awe.
I never thought that the Taifu, who was in a idle position and had no involvement in government affairs, could have such faith in His Majesty.
In contrast, Wu Fan, who had always been in power as an official, and some powerful officials in the court, were impetuous and questioned the empress.
It's too far off!
...
Late October.
Mu Yuyan has already selected the land deed, which is a courtyard house near Dongzhimen in the capital.
These days.
Liu Yexi, Lin Tan'er and Lao Yang were so busy that they finally packed up their belongings and just waited for someone from the escort agency to come and send them to the capital.
The wind outside Langzhou City is already a bit chilly.
This morning.
Gu Lan and the other two led their horses to the city gate and said goodbye to their families before going on their way.
"Madam, I'm going to check out the spot first. You wait half a month before setting off. I'll meet you at Dongzhimen then."
Gu Lan took Mu Yuyan's soft little hand and said gently.
"Gu Lang, actually we can wait for the escort agency to go together."
Such a long journey, even by horseback, would take three days, and Mu Yuyan was a little worried.
"No, my lady is obedient."
Gu Lan looked at the charming and delicate face, with the soft black hair flowing through his fingertips, and whispered: "If the connection is not good, my wife and I will have to run around and suffer... I will go first, it is safer."
"Gu Lang..."
Mu Yuyan bit her lip and looked at him reluctantly.
Gu Lan smiled and pointed at his cheek: "Have a bite, we have to go, otherwise we won't be able to stay at the inn at night."
mua!
Mu Yuyan offered a sweet kiss without hesitation, her beautiful eyes were like water, and she said softly: "Okay, we will arrive in the capital in half a month at most. We can't let Gu Lang be busy alone for that long. After all, you still have to prepare for next year's spring."
Chunwei is the tribute examination.
Upon hearing this word, Gu Lan hurriedly touched his nose to hide his guilt.
actually.
This time he didn't bring any large exam preparation books like the Four Books and Five Classics.
In the luggage Lao Yang carried, there were only a few messy miscellaneous books, and he also carried an unfinished copy of "Three Hundred Poems" on his body.
They are all used to increase cultivation.
As for the Spring Tribute Examination?
Gu Lan plans to take a look at it then. If there is another outrageous behind-the-scenes operation like license plate, he will simply give up the exam!
If there is no more shady evidence, then we will hand in another wave of blank papers!
If you don’t believe it, you won’t be on the list.
Think about it.
Gu Lan nodded, jumped on his horse, greeted Lao Yangtou and Lin Tan'er, and rushed towards the capital together.
Wait until their backs disappear.
Mu Yuyan's expression of reluctance gradually softened, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the standing maid and ordered:
"Xiao Xi, we will also use our swords to head to the capital immediately."
"You should be familiar with the process of recruiting people to Beijing. After settling down, you first go to those points where mistakes are easy to make and pave the way for Gu Lang."
"yes!"
Liu Yexi agreed, still feeling a little inexplicable excitement in her heart.
After more than a year, His Majesty is finally returning to the palace!
But compared to the depression when he left, His Majesty is much happier after marrying the young master...
Entering His Majesty's Imperial City this time, the Young Master may not be able to escape even if he wants to!
...
at dusk.
Gu Lan and the other three stayed in an inn.
Just like their own teahouse, the first floor is where Jian'er eats. The three of them put down their luggage in their respective rooms and ordered a table for dinner.
The food hasn't been served yet.
The men at the next table seemed drunk, their faces as red as monkeys' butts. They accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Tan'er at Gu Lan's table and kept staring at her.
"This girl is so pretty!"
"The ass is so big that it's easy to give birth to. We've never seen such a top-notch girl in our area!"
"Blessed is the boy next to her, Mad!"
"..."
A few lewd laughs reached his ears.
Lin Tan'er's face turned red with embarrassment. She glanced at Gu Lan and said, not wanting to cause trouble for him, "Master, I'm not hungry. I'm going to rest first."
"eat first."
Gu Lan pulled her and said calmly, as if he didn't notice those people at all.
Lin Tan'er felt inexplicably relieved and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
At this time.
Seeing that they were indifferent, a few drunkards became even more presumptuous and began to point at the three of them:
"That little girl with tender skin and tender flesh, I have money here. Do you want to consider coming to my place to play tonight's exam?"
"We promise to make you happy!"
"Hahaha!"
"..."
Lin Tan'er's face turned even redder and she looked at Gu Lan as if asking for help.
Damn, you're pushing yourself too far... Gu Lan just shook his head, but didn't let her leave, and gently put down his chopsticks.
Ruoyouruowu glanced over there.
Several drunk men caught his eye.
I wanted to make fun of it.
But the next moment!
Their bodies shivered strangely.
A few pairs of eyes gradually became frightened, and slowly shed two faint tears of blood. The expressions of the people on the table became very dull!
The store owner who came out to serve the food was dumbfounded!
After respectfully placing the dishes on Gu Lan's table, he didn't dare to glance around and hurriedly ran back.
And at this time.
Neither Lin Tan'er nor Lao Yangtou noticed the strangeness of the people at the table, and their eyes were on the new dishes.
Gu Lan silently took a sip of tea.
Those drunkards fell silently on the table, as if they were drunk to death...
