Looking at Hou Sizheng's figure away, Kong Xu felt mixed feelings.

"Sir..." Dongzi didn't know what to do, so he asked, "What should I do?"

Originally, Kong Xu was a little unhappy when Chu Boxiong made a move, but at this moment Dongzi spoke again, which released the suppressed anger in Kong Xu's heart.

"You ask me? Do you want me to ask His Majesty? What should I do? What can I do? Of course I'm waiting!"

Kong Xu yelled at Dongzi, then stopped talking, and got into the carriage, ignoring Dongzi.

Time passes, and the evening falls.

The station seemed as peaceful and peaceful as usual.

Chu Zizhan and his group went back to the room after having dinner on the first floor. However, Ali didn't seem to leave, but just said he wanted to go around here at will.

When Qi Song was having dinner, he kept caring about Miss Ali's movements. However, when he saw that the other party had no other thoughts, he did not go to join in the fun. He just took Qi Lianyu back to the room.

Although the inn is very close to Kyoto Prefecture, it is very desolate because there are no people here. Occasionally, some villagers come to see Li Maocai and others, saying that they need help from home if they have something to do.

Li Maocai was a person who had nothing to do and was extremely enthusiastic, so he took the chef with his fellow villagers to help in the village. As for what he helped, the scholar who stayed in the inn, he didn't know.

"At that time, the fellow villager and the postmaster were leaving in a hurry, so I didn't ask much about it."

"The fellow villager is from Honghe Village on the north side. He is less than five miles away from the post station. He often comes to rent some donkey carts and pull some goods. He gets familiar with it after a while. Later, when there is a big and small matter at home, he also comes to ask Lord Yicheng for help."

The scholar was naturally afraid that Ali would not understand what happened here, so he explained to her, but Ali looked like now without any expression, and seemed not interested in the scholar's explanation.

"Miss Ali, aren't you curious about something? Why are you so cold?"

In fact, Ali did not invite the scholar to come over to give him any explanation. It was just that when he was dazed outside, the scholar came over by himself.

Today's supper was made by the scholar in the kitchen, using his

In other words, the post station was small and everyone could handle it. At first, Chu Zizhan didn't believe in the scholar's skills, but after hearing that the official secretary and the chef had gone to the village north to help. It seemed that they would have to go to the next day before they could come back. So he thought that it would be enough for him to just go, so he didn't ask too much, but just let the scholar fry a few dishes at will, which would be enough for a few people to eat.

But when the scholar's dishes were served, it really surprised Chu Zizhan and others. He just heard that he would deal with it, but he would not guess that he could handle it so easily.

Ali just took a few bites and didn't eat it. Chu Zizhan thought it was Ali's not what he liked, so he asked the scholar to do something else. However, Ali said that he didn't want to eat it anymore, so he gave up.

"Miss Ali, I didn't eat the food I cooked during dinner. Now I'm extremely cold to me, but I'm a little rude."

The scholar continued to clamor in Ali's ears, but Ali still ignored him. No matter how he spoke, he would not talk to the other party.

Ali found a place to sit down in the innyard. Originally, the facilities here were simple, and there were naturally no pavilions in the Kyoto Prefecture courtyard. He just found a larger stone. Ali brushed the dust on it and sat up.

The scholar seemed to be a little tired, so he also found a larger stone, took some effort to move it to Ali, and then sat down safely.

Ali looked at him with a side face, then said, "Where did you learn this shameless way?"

"Of course I learned it from the teacher."

"When did the teacher teach these?" Ali looked sideways at the scholar sitting beside him, and then said coldly, "It's you, where did you get this man's skin mask? It looks quite exquisite."

The scholar touched his face and said to Ali: "This is given by the senior brother, and I don't know where he got it. Although it looks delicate, it is sticky and very uncomfortable."

The two of them sat together, like friends who have known each other for many years, saying one by one, one by one.

Ali naturally knew the identity of the familiar and unfamiliar peddler in front of him. He had not seen him for two years. At that time, he only heard from the teacher that the youngest brother had been sent out to perform a mission, so he disappeared. This made Ali think that he, the youngest brother, had been killed many times. Whenever he thought of this, Ali couldn't help but feel sad.

Originally, when she arrived at the inn, Li Maocai asked someone to arrange a room, but after Ali chose the room, she was stuffed with a note, saying that the other room was relatively hidden and had blind spots. At first, Ali was naturally suspicious, but when she carefully looked at the marks left by the other party on the note, she changed the room with Chu Zizhan without hesitation. It was at that time that she knew that the young brother who had not seen for two years had actually come here.

Things went on smoothly. Later, the scholar looked for A Li once, but was hit by Li Maocai. He thought he was lazy, so he called him to work downstairs. When Li Maocai called him, Qi Song heard it.

Everything is like this coincidence.

"Why are you here? I thought you were killed by someone and died."

"Of course not. I made it like this, so I naturally came to collect information. But the teacher didn't give a deadline at that time, and two years passed in the blink of an eye."

The scholar sighed deeply, as if he was sighing about his experience in the past two years.

"Sometimes, after wearing the mask for a long time, I almost forgot who I am."

Ali really wanted to pat the young brother on the shoulder and give him some comfort, but this place is not Kyoto Mansion after all, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no hearing on the walls, especially Qi Song, who has been on guard against himself after coming out of Qijiazhuang, seems to have not let go of his vigilance.

"The teacher has news?" A Li changed the subject and asked the scholar's purpose of getting closer to him.

The scholar sorted out his thoughts, nodded and said, "Yes, the teacher asked you to go back."

In fact, Ali had known that this should be the result, so he was not surprised. He just nodded to the scholar and said, "Well, I'll leave tonight."

Ali paused for a moment, then asked again, "What about you?"

The scholar was also a little stunned by A Li's question. It took him a long time to react. Then he looked at the familiar scenery around him and said to A Li: "I have lived here for two years, and I feel that I have begun to adapt to this place."

When Ali heard the scholar's words, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he slowly said, "Senior Brother, do you think..."
