It was a good thing that Li Shuyu returned to Beijing, but Ling Yun did not receive a letter from Li Shuyu, nor from his master's wife... Zixuan found out about this, and after some questioning, he learned that Zixuan and Li Shuyu had been exchanging letters.
As for why she didn't tell him, it was because he had been busy with the war and signing the treaty, so Zixuan didn't tell him.
Now that I'm back in Beijing, I feel relaxed and relaxed.
After Li Shuyu heard that their class teacher had returned to the court, she had been clamoring to return to Beijing. As the New Year was approaching, Li Chengyou and his wife definitely did not want Li Shuyu to leave them at this time. However, Li Chengyou and his wife could not resist Li Shuyu's coquettish pleas and had no choice but to let her return to Beijing.
Hearing this, Ling Yun suddenly realized.
The Chinese New Year is about to come, so Li Mansion has been cleaned inside and out. The main courtyard where Li Chengyou and his wife live, the Nanyuan where Li Shuyu lives, and the Beiyuan where Ling Yun lives...the servants have cleaned everything.
As for the matter of the Annan Hou Mansion, Ling Yun simply threw it aside.
Two days later, Ling Yun appeared outside the city gate.
"Ling Lang, that should be it." Zixuan pointed to the carriage approaching slowly in front and said happily.
Ling Yun's eyes also stopped at the car in front. There were guards guarding the front and back of the carriage. There were more than fifty people. And it looked like those guards were not ordinary servants. They all had tall and straight postures and looked like army sergeants. They could
It protects the carriage safely and smoothly.
As a governor and a high-ranking official of the imperial court, Li Chengyou couldn't let ordinary servants escort his precious daughter back to Beijing.
Therefore, this kind of treatment is most likely for Li Shuyu.
Ling Yun saw one person in the team and immediately confirmed that this person was Li Shuyu.
"Xuan'er, this is Shuyu's carriage." Ling Yun told Zixuan happily that it was really Li Shuyu's carriage in front of him. At the same time, he rode towards the carriage, and Zixuan followed closely behind with a smile.
Why is Ling Yun so sure?
Because he had just seen the person in the team that he least wanted to see, and that was Pan Chengzi, the magic stick he had seen in Suzhou.
At first he thought of teaching him a lesson and telling him to get out.
Thinking about his unintentional move, Pan Shengun accidentally followed Li Shuyu. When he realized that the situation was unusual, he thought of driving Pan Shengun away. Who would have thought that he was actually attacked by Li Shuyu?
Blocking him made Ling Yun so angry that he vomited blood.
But there is no way!
The reason why Pan Shengun became Li Shuyu's servant was all because of his single-handed instigation.
When he realized that something was wrong, it was already too late to drive the person away. And considering the original situation, having Pan Chengzi by Li Shuyu's side would make Ling Yun feel more at ease. After all, they were about to separate at that time, and Ling Yun couldn't look at her, so he had to just
That's it.
The situation is different now. When Ling Yun saw Pan Shengun just now, he felt the urge to beat him up again.
He just hoped that the situation between the two of them was not what he thought.
Otherwise Pan Shengun will definitely not be able to escape his spurs.
When Ling Yun approached the carriage on horseback, the guards in front of the carriage immediately came up to meet him. One of them took a few steps forward and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The speaker's face was expressionless, and he had a scrutinizing gaze when he spoke. Even though he was sitting on the horse, he still held his head high and his eyes were bright, showing no trace of fear or timidity when facing Ling Yun.
This kind of behavior is the embodiment of military quality.
When Ling Yun looked at him, he nodded with satisfaction, which was regarded as recognition of this person.
In fact, Ling Yun's guess was correct. The person in front of him was indeed a soldier, and a ten thousand general.
This man's name is Xu Yongnian. He is the commander who escorted Li Shuyu back to Beijing this time. He was originally a ten thousand general in the military camp. He was in the prime of life. When he should have made a difference on the battlefield, he offended many people because of his upright character.
The person who deserves to be offended will be demoted to a general, a general of a hundred people... and finally reduced to an ordinary soldier.
By chance, he became Li Chengyou's bodyguard.
Li Chengyou knew his abilities, so he asked him to serve as the captain of the escort team and escort Li Shuyu all the way back to Beijing.
Because of Xu Yongnian's presence, although there were some setbacks on the road, they did not affect Li Shuyu's safety. Even if he encountered robbers who robbed his house, Xu Yongnian could easily deal with it.
Ling Yun didn't speak, just sizing him up, but Xu Yongnian was angry at the disregard of his sizing. Just as he was staring at Ling Yun and about to take action, Pan Chengzi's voice came from behind.
"Captain Xu, don't be rude!"
Hearing Pan Chengzi's words, Xu Yongnian frowned, raised his head and glanced at Ling Yun, and then stopped his movements.
Although Xu Yongnian felt uncomfortable, he actually had no intention of taking action, and his behavior just now was just a test.
Because this place is so close to the capital, there will definitely be no robbers. Therefore, even if he cannot be sure that the group of people who suddenly appeared are Li Shuyu's relatives and friends, he can be sure that they are not bad people, at least they are not a threat to Li Shuyu.
However, when Pan Chengzi's voice rang out, he was almost certain that this group of people knew Li Shuyu, so he took a few steps back decisively, and Pan Chengzi ran over at that moment.
"General Lingling... ah no, it's Mr. Hou..." Pan Chengzi ran up excitedly, but when he met Ling Yun's eyes, he suddenly felt the fear that had disappeared for a long time, and his words were trembling.
To say who he was most afraid of, it was Ling Yun in front of him.
Pan Chengzi always had an illusion in his heart that Ling Yun's sharp gaze could see through his inner thoughts. Even when facing Li Chengyou, he had never felt such oppression.
I thought that this feeling would disappear over time.
Unexpectedly, when he met Ling Yun's eyes, the fear that had disappeared for a long time surged into his heart again, making him tremble involuntarily, and even speaking became awkward.
Xu Yongnian looked at this scene strangely, but said nothing.
When he heard the words "General Ling", Xu Yongnian's eyes suddenly lit up, but disappeared again when he heard "Master Hou".
He watched calmly and looked at Ling Yun from the corner of his eye.
"Where's Shu Yu?" Ling Yun glanced at him lightly, not paying attention to him at all, and then asked Shu Qiyu about it.
"Shuyu...Miss is in the car." Pan Chengzi originally only wanted to say Shuyu, because he was already used to it, and Li Shuyu and even Li Chengyou and his wife had no objection to this.
Unexpectedly, when he just said it, Ling Yun's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was so frightened that he quickly added the word "Miss".
"The attitude and wording of your ideas." Ling Yun dropped these words coldly, then dismounted his horse and walked towards the carriage.
Ling Yun walked over, and the guards all looked at Xu Yongnian inquiringly, as if asking him if he wanted to stop him. The latter shook his head gently, signaling not to move.
In this way, Ling Yun arrived in front of the carriage unimpeded.
