Under the drizzle of light rain, the carriage slowly drove into the city. In the hazy rain and fog, some people stopped and watched, and what they saw were the eyes of hundreds of people looking at them.
Whether it is strange or familiar, no one knows.
They didn't even know who these people were, but the city gate guards let them in, so they must be from the government.
As for Gu Qingyuan, the moment a sight he hadn't seen for a long time came into view, there wasn't much excitement in his eyes.
What they want to see at this moment is not these people who live in ease, but their generals.
The sound of horse hooves was fast and orderly, and they soon arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
There was already a person standing in front of the Hou Mansion, waiting for their arrival.
The moment he saw Lu Qingtian, an indescribable sourness suddenly emerged in Gu Qingyuan's heart. He dismounted like everyone else, looked at Lu Qingtian who looked much older, knelt down on one knee and held his hands.
"I have met... Mr. Hou."
"I'll wait until I see the Marquis!"
The others had tears in their eyes, but their voices resounded throughout the street like loud bells.
This made all the people around who wanted to watch the excitement stunned. When did the Hou Mansion have such a group of people?
Someone was secretly reminding me.
"Isn't this the person the young Marquis said he wanted to bring back when he went to the border?"
"Yes, yes, but they are all people who have been captured once. Coming back to enjoy happiness this time can be considered a blessing after all the hardships, right?"
"Really? If it were me, I'd be willing to go."
"..."
These whispers were very unpleasant to Gu Qingyuan's ears. He couldn't see, but he heard much more than ordinary people.
But now others don't care about this. They only have the joy of seeing Lu Qingtian again.
Just because they don't care doesn't mean that Lu Feng doesn't care.
Xu Zhe opened the curtain of the carriage and came down, then put up a footrest to make it easier for Lu Feng.
Now that he has returned to the capital, the temperature is much higher than before. Lu Feng is fanning himself with a fan in his hand, and his eyes are looking at the few people who are not ready to stop.
"I like the tongues of these talkative people the most. Xu Zhe, go and cut out all their tongues."
I had people slap me before, and this time I had my tongue cut out.
Tian Xin and the others' attention, which was still on Lu Qingtian, was suddenly turned back to Lu Feng by these words. When Gu Qingyuan wanted to speak, he felt a pair of hands lifting him up.
"Let him do it."
If those people before could not believe that Lu Feng could really cut out their tongues, then what Lu Qingtian said made them know that Lu Feng could really do this.
As soon as their expressions changed, several people wanted to run away.
"Looking for death."
"Get out of the way!"
The people around them cursed when they knocked them away.
But how could they run away? The people dared to scold these people, but they didn't dare to stop Xu Zhe.
The one who was caught first was the one with the shortest mouth. Xu Zhe opened the person's mouth, removed the chin first, and then stabbed him down.
A ball of flesh and blood fell to the ground, and the other people ran away desperately when they saw it.
Seeing this scene, the people who had only planned to watch the show shuddered. Their eyes gradually turned to fear when they looked at Lu Feng.
How could it be so cruel?
Just cutting off a person's tongue will not kill him.
As the others begged for mercy, Lu Feng leisurely led Gu Qingyuan and others into the Hou Mansion. This meant that any trouble caused by him was also his fault.
Tian Xin walked beside Lu Feng and said nervously:
"Little Marquis, isn't it bad to be like this in the street? It will harm your reputation."
Don’t people in the capital value these the most?
Lu Feng smiled at him.
"If you knew what I did, you wouldn't think so."
"ah?"
What can he do?
Tian Xin was a little confused.
Po Jun, who was lying down in the courtyard, noticed Lu Feng's aura and immediately stood up on all fours. He stuck out his tongue and rushed out of the courtyard with excitement on his face.
Roar~!
Its sound was common to everyone in the Hou family, but not to Tian Xin. When he saw a huge white tiger rushing towards him, he immediately blocked Lu Bao.
"The evil beast must not harm the little Marquis!"
Po Jun was not happy anymore and roared at Tian Xin.
Why not let it get close to its owner? !
"It's okay, it's Pojun."
Lu Feng told Tian Xin not to worry, and then waved to Po Jun.
Knowing that Lu Feng would be back in the next few days, Xiao Junya washed it from top to bottom, otherwise he would not be able to see anyone.
Po Jun jumped on Lu Feng, opened his tiger's mouth and wanted to lick him, but his clothes were in the way and it didn't have much impact.
Only Tian Xin looked at the white tiger with some suspicion. This seemed to be a tigress, called Po Jun?
"Feng'er, you go and take a rest first."
Lu Qingtian still wanted to ask Gu Qingyuan something, so he treated Lu Feng casually.
"Okay."
Lu Feng nodded obediently, not like he was talking about cutting out his tongue outside.
Xu Zhe, who was outside the door, was about to go in when a man in brocade clothes stood in front of him. It seemed that he was in trouble.
"Are you looking for Mr. Hou?"
He had never seen this person before, but he probably didn't come here looking for trouble.
The person opposite him was extremely respectful even to Xu Zhe, and his conversation had a scholarly temperament.
"I am Xue Zhizhang, the counselor of the Second Prince's Mansion. I specially welcome the guards back to the capital with His Highness."
"You may not know that it was His Highness's proposal to go to the border and bring people back."
Regardless of the purpose, the Hou Mansion accepted this favor.
Xu Zhe knew this and saw a somewhat dignified man standing in the crowd. He must be the second prince.
"Please come with me."
The scene of him bringing the second prince in was also seen by others. The guards closed the door completely after the people entered. The Marquis Mansion will not accept outsiders today.
The person the second prince was looking for was the young marquis, so Xu Zhe naturally did not bring him to Lu Qingtian.
Anyway, the words of the young marquis in the mansion are effective.
In the courtyard, Po Jun was lying at Lu Feng's feet, while Si Yu was speechless after seeing Yun She.
Yun She could feel Si Yu constantly looking at him, and he could also notice the difference in the other person, and suddenly he didn't know how to speak.
After burping after eating, Lu Feng looked up and saw their big eyes staring at each other.
Wiping his hands, he looked towards the corridor.
The second prince came with his advisers.
Xu Zhe washed his hands after sending the person here, which was still a bit dirty compared to being slapped in the face.
"Little Marquis, long time no see."
Apart from the chairs under Lu Feng and Si Yu's buttocks, there were no extra chairs in the courtyard, but it didn't matter, the second prince didn't plan to sit down today.
In fact, the scene now was a little different from what the second prince had expected. He thought he would be a little scared in front of Lu Bao, but he wasn't.
Standing in front of Lu Feng, it was as if Lu Feng was still the person who posed no threat to him.
This made the second prince even more vigilant, as was Lu Feng back then.
