It was a cloudy and rainy day outside the city. There were no pedestrians on the official road in the south of the city, and few cars and horses were seen.
Overcast clouds accumulated, pushing the sky lower and lower. When the noon was as dark as dusk, the dull sound of horse hooves came from the distance of the official road. An elite cavalry force of thousands of people just braved the rain and stepped on the mud, in the hazy Appearing out of it, it looked like a black and red giant python, walking on the vast land.
Lijun Qingqi.
It didn't take long for the neat cavalry to rush to the gate of Licheng. The group separated and headed towards the west of the city. Only the five hundred elite cavalry in the lead did not slow down and ran towards the south gate. Rush in.
After entering the city, the speed of the five hundred cavalry quickly slowed down, even though there were not many pedestrians on the streets in the city.
Then, a horseman joined the team. The man had golden armor and a golden helmet. He had a half-long beard. He let the rain hit his body and dripped down his armor. His expression was gloomy, just like the weather when leaving the city at the moment. It's Luo Jiang, the general from Licheng.
Seeing Luo Jiang riding a horse and merging into the Lijun Qingqi, directly squeezing the surrounding cavalry away and moving to the center, Luo Chuan, who was controlling the flame energy to evaporate the raindrops falling in a small world one by one, couldn't help but shudder. , as if the person who was all wet was him.
"Uncle Jiang..." he said with a guilty smile, "Look, I came back this time, but I informed you in advance..."
Luo Jiang turned his head and stared at Luochuan coldly. The rainwater passed through the golden helmet, fell on his beard, and flowed down the river. "General Lu sent me a letter!"
Luo Chuan said, "This General Lu is really impatient..."
Luo Jiang looked forward and said in a deep voice, "Now, you Luochuan are the governor of Li County, the governor of Hanzhou, and a strong man in the five realms. You are amazing. No one can control you. The world is so big that you can go anywhere. This time, you went to Yongchang without telling everyone, but next time, I’m afraid you won’t have to go to the land of Nanyi alone!!”
As soon as the two of them rode up, Qianxue in white was riding on the horse. When the rainwater fell around her, it automatically fell away and turned into ice crystals falling to the ground. Hearing this, he said lightly, "Don't turn your words into a prophecy."
Luo Chuan looked back helplessly, then said to Luo Jiang with a smile, "Look at what you said, you don't have to listen to anyone else, but you still have to listen to Uncle Jiang."
Luo Jiang snorted coldly, then turned his head and said to Chang Yufeng who was beside Luo Chuan, "Is Chang Zhenren's health feeling better?"
Chang Yufeng smiled and nodded.
Upon seeing this, Luochuan turned around and introduced the gourd Taoist Du Bo'an, as well as Tushan and Xiao Taoist priests.
Luo Jiang glanced at him, then chatted with the Gourd Taoist priests one by one, and gradually approached the prefect's palace.
At this time, the palace gate of the prefect's palace was wide open. Dozens of palace attendants were standing on both sides of the palace gate with their heads bowed. Even though they were holding umbrellas, most of their bodies were still wet, but they were waiting motionless. The first person was the palace attendant. The only chief minister in the palace now is Gao Shixian.
Seeing Li Jun Qingqi approaching, Gao Shixian turned around and made a few gestures behind him, and a group of palace attendants dispersed. Some guided most of Li Jun Qingqi to disperse, and some helped Luochuan and Wangchuan sword repairers. Waiting for someone to lead the horse, busy and orderly.
Gao Shixian took a few close attendants, held up a big umbrella, and came to Luochuan to hold umbrellas for everyone.
"My lord, you have had a hard journey!" Gao Shixian bent down slightly, held the umbrella and tilted it towards Luochuan, raised his eyes and said with a smile, "I have ordered someone to prepare hot soup for you all in the banquet hall, okay? Let’s go drink first and warm ourselves up. Sword cultivators, Lijun Qingqi, and the old slave have also ordered people to prepare meals.”
"Okay," Luo Chuan smiled back. Instead of handing his tall and majestic little black horse to the palace attendant beside Gao Shixian, Luo Chuan turned around and handed the reins to Luo Changgong, who was following him. But he did not refuse Gao Shixian to hold an umbrella, and said to Luo Jiang and others, "In this weather, it would be good to drink some hot soup."
Luo Jiang pushed away the waiter holding an umbrella for him and strode towards the banquet hall first.
Luo Chuan was not embarrassed, but Taoist Calabash looked at Luo Jiang's leaving figure and asked in a low voice, "Master Taishou, this Uncle Jiang...is your uncle?"
Gao Shixian was startled when he heard this and lowered his head.
go.
However, Qianxue laughed out loud, and the invisible energy in her body pushed away the palace attendant who was about to hold an umbrella for her, and walked in the direction Luo Jiang left, leaving the gourd Taoist priest a little confused.
Luo Chuan said, "Luo came to Beijing as a hostage at the age of three, and there was only one Uncle Jiang around him."
"Oh," the Calabash Taoist said with a long oh, and turned to look, but he was not looking at Luo Jiang, but Qianxue, "No wonder..."
Luo Chuan coughed lightly and said to Chang Yufeng, "If Chang Zhenren has no other arrangements, why don't you go with us?"
Chang Yufeng nodded and looked deep into the Li County Prefect's Palace and said, "The Prefect has invited you, how dare you refuse. Later, Pindao said a few words to his junior brothers and sisters, and then went to the banquet."
Luo Chuan nodded and watched Chang Yufeng walk towards Wangchuan Jianxiu, who was getting off his horse one by one not far away. He turned back to Tong Zhenzhen, who had been walking along Tushan and Xiaodao, which was a little cramped since entering the city, and said, "Come with me to eat and drink first. Some things, and then I’ll give you a place to live.”
Tushan nodded with a simple smile, while the little Taoist boy looked at Luochuan, wanting to say something, but in the end he just nodded obediently.
Luochuan turned around and made a gesture of reaching out to Taoist Calabash, and then walked towards the banquet hall first. As he walked, he casually asked Gao Shixian, who was holding an umbrella next to him, "Everything is fine at home while I'm walking." Bar?"
Gao Shixian bent slightly and followed Luo Chuan half a step behind. Hearing this, he immediately said, "If you go back to the Lord, everything is fine. There are a lot of refugees recently, and the old slave has taken it upon himself to add more to the palace." I have hired some maids. Although they are not needed at the moment, it will be too late to look for these things after the two ladies enter the palace. They are all children of poor families and have an innocent family. It will take some time to find the palace's maids. The rules have been told to them and they should be memorized before they can be assigned to the ladies."
Luo Chuan nodded and asked, "Why don't you see Siqi?"
Gao Shixian said, "Miss Siqi has been feeling better recently, so she doesn't stay in the palace often. She left the palace early this morning. The old slave asked a group of palace guards to follow her, but she didn't ask where she was going."
Luo Chuan looked at Gao Shixian and praised, "Old Gao, with you watching over here in the prefect's palace, I will feel more at ease when I go out."
Hearing this, Gao Shixian immediately bent his body lower, his voice trembling a little, "My lord, it is really embarrassing for me to be like this. This old slave just did something within my duty, and I can share my lord's worries." A little bit is the biggest reason why I live in this world. My lord, please don’t say that to me..."
"Okay, okay, I just praised you for doing things properly, and you started nagging again," Luo Chuan said speechlessly.
Hearing this, Gao Shixian's face with lowered head actually showed joy, "Yes, yes, it's the old slave who talks too much, the old slave talks too much..."
Luochuan turned to look at the Calabash Taoist who was silently eavesdropping on the side. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a shadow fall in front of him and hand a piece of paper into his hand.
Luo Chuan opened it and frowned.
