The next morning, the weather was fine outside the city.
So from before daylight, there have been vendors hawking along the streets, sharpening scissors or kitchen knives with a strong Lijun flavor.
In the prefect's palace, after Luo Chuan finished reciting his words, he put on his regular clothes and left the palace in an ordinary-looking carriage. The only people traveling with him were Shadow, Siqi, and the carriage driver. The tall military commander, Luo Changgong, also changed into regular clothes but still covered his face with armor.
Luo Chuan sat in the innermost corner of the carriage, flipping through a book about Xiyi that he found from nowhere. Like his other carriages, the interior of this carriage is also surrounded by layers of thick fur and cotton cushions. No matter where you lean on it, it has a soft and sofa-like texture.
Siqi took a bowl of steaming black batter and ate it with a spoon. She couldn't smell any special smell, but looking at her slightly distorted expression after putting the batter into her mouth, she knew that the taste was about the same. not so good.
The shadow squatted by the window and opened a corner of the car curtain to take a look.
There was no words all the way. When Siqi's bowl of food was almost finished, the carriage slowly stopped. Luo Changgong opened the curtain and said, "Sir, we're here."
Luo Chuan responded, folded a corner of the book, and placed it casually beside him. He got off the carriage with Siqi and Shadow. He looked up and saw that the carriage was parked in a rather spacious backyard garden, surrounded by pavilions. It is the back garden of Wanhua Building.
At the door behind the main building of Wanhua Building, a pretty girl with a thin layer of makeup was standing not far away. She was wearing a pink blouse and a blue skirt. She looked fresh and elegant, like a girl from someone's family, but she was The number one in Wanhua Tower is Su Jin'er.
Seeing Luo Chuan appear, Su Jin'er bowed down from a distance and said crisply, "Su Jin'er has met your Excellency."
Siqi glanced sideways at Su Jin'er, hummed slightly and turned away.
Luo Chuan walked over slowly, without stopping beside Su Jin'er, and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Sir," Su Jin'er lowered her head and responded. However, she waited until Luo Chuan, Siqi and Shadow had all passed by before she quickly stood up, lowered her head and followed behind the three of them, guiding them softly along the way. Without meeting anyone head-on, he entered the huge room in the center of the top floor of Wanhua Building.
And here, two people have already been waiting for them, a beautiful woman in white clothes looking out at Shengxue from the window, and a young man in brocade clothes sitting at the table drinking leisurely, none other than Qianxue and Nanfeng.
When Nan Feng saw Luo Chuan and the others pushing the door open, he couldn't help but look at Luo Chuan and put down the wine glass he had raised to his lips.
Luo Chuan came to the table with a smile, sat opposite Nanfeng, and asked, "Senior, what did you see?"
Nanfeng snorted lightly, raised his glass and drank again.
Siqi and Yingying stood behind Luochuan, but Su Jin'er quietly closed the door and then guarded the door obediently to prevent others from entering by mistake.
Turning his head to the side, he saw a sound-isolating array being set up by the shadow with a wave of his hand, and then Luo Chuan spoke again, "When will Senior Nanfeng come back and leave the city?"
Nanfeng said casually, "Just yesterday, I heard that the prefect was coming back from the south, so I rushed back from the north. Unexpectedly, the prefect did bring me some great news. This time, we But it was so hard to be concealed by the prefect..."
Luo Chuan glanced at Qian Xue, who was silent, and sighed softly and said to Nan Feng, "Senior, this junior did not conceal this matter intentionally. If it hadn't been for this adventurous break into Heyu City and the near-death encounter, even junior I don’t even know how many changes have happened to me. Who can I talk to about this entanglement and confusion in my heart?”
Nanfeng raised his head and took a serious look at Luochuan, then shook his head and smiled, "When I first met you, I just thought you were just like your mother, but now, I see you playing the big game of Southwest Hanzhou step by step. At this point, I can’t see clearly. I don’t know whether you look like your mother or your extremely cunning father.”
"They say a child is like a mother, so I should be more like my mother," Luo Chuan also said with a smile, "It's a pity that I have no impression of her anymore."
Nanfeng picked up the wine in the cup and drank it in one gulp, "The matter of the holy blood, right?"
It is extremely important to us. Now that we know these things, it is impossible not to send the news back. However, I also know that you will have concerns about this." He filled himself up with wine and took another one out of thin air. After filling up the empty wine glass, he waved his hand and the wine glass flew to Luo Chuan and settled down steadily. "So when delivering the news, I will make things that are already certain less certain."
Luochuan remained silent.
Nanfeng picked up his wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and then refilled it, "Although I'm not too interested in getting involved in this matter, I heard that the old people in my hometown are still quite confused. Prophecy, to be clear, it is not called a prophecy. Although you are the one they value most, you are not the only one, not to mention that your mother is her after all, so there is no need to worry too much anyway. .”
Luo Chuan nodded, then picked up the wine glass in front of him, saluted in the direction of Nanfeng, and drank it in one gulp like him, "Thank you, senior."
Nanfeng nodded, drank the glass with him, then put the glass down, picked up his folding fan from the table, opened it, and fanned slowly. There was no sign of drinking too much on his face, but his posture when he spoke was... As if he was drunk, "Thank you. Since I entered the middle three realms, I have been wallowing in this human world. I have seen and heard a lot, and my body has gradually begun to smell like the human world. There are many people and things on the mountain that I can’t understand or hear clearly.”
He leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, as if talking to himself, "Those people are all enigmatic and have profound thoughts. Their words are always heavy when they speak. What carries a family on their shoulders, what lasts for eternity, I just look at it. I feel tired, very tired, but no matter how good they are, in the end, many things in this world still depend on fate, right?"
"As small as one person, as large as a clan, or even for the eternity of heaven and earth, everyone has his or her own destiny." Nanfeng grabbed a fan and pulled it in the air. "Follow the path you have chosen and move forward day by day. Do everything that needs to be done, do everything that needs to be done, and don’t leave any regrets. The rest is just left to fate. Why do you need to worry about it, why do you need to be afraid of it?”
Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "There are countless worries in the world. If everyone could be as free and easy as our predecessors, this world would be the best. But people's hearts are like this. Everyone wants to have more control over their own affairs. Fate, you chase me, you fight for it, many times being in it is like being involved in a herd of running buffalo. Why you are running is no longer important. What is important is that if you don't run, you will be trampled on. If you pass by, you will die without a burial place."
Luo Chuan raised his head slightly and met the eyes of Nanfeng who just lowered his head, "So I have to fight, grab, and run to the front so that the bison have to follow me instead of being in the middle of it. To be slaughtered by others...that may be the fate of most people in this world, but it is not mine!"
