Xiao Chu nodded, feeling a little excited. He hadn't discovered before that he had completely adapted to life here and felt a deep sense of attachment to the family.
At this time, Xiao Chu couldn't help but think of Liu. His mother hadn't seen her for many days, and she didn't know what was going on.
"I don't know if Mr. Ye Jinyu and the others have returned to Chongming Mansion. If they haven't come back." Xiao Chu thought slowly in his heart.
It was noon and the sky was getting hotter and it was almost midsummer. When the two of them were walking on the road, they also felt hotter and hotter.
"What the hell is this weather? It's so hot." Lu Yu sat in the carriage and opened the curtains of the carriage, trying to let the air inside circulate so as to cool himself.
Xiao Chu gave Lu Yu a blank look. According to his own personal situation, it was a blessing that you could come back safely. You kid still had so many complaints, which was too much.
"Xiao Chu, how long will it take for us to arrive at Chongming Mansion?" Lu Yu looked forward and then asked.
Xiao Chu looked into the distance, then estimated it, and then said, "It's about an hour and a half."
After speaking, Xiao Chu was not speaking, and was driving the car quietly. He had only one idea now, which was to get home quickly. However, according to the date, Ye Jinyu and the others seemed to be coming back.
At this moment, Xiao Chu suddenly had a question in his heart, you are the purpose of the Three Gods Sect kidnapped Qiu Chen, the little girl.
He didn't know much about this Three Gods Sect, but he had an intersection with them before. I remember that Xiao Chu was once kidnapped by their Liucheng High Priest. Thinking of this, Xiao Chu felt that he was
Fortunately, the situation was really dangerous. If it weren't for General Xiaowu's rescue, Xiao Chu felt that he would have been in a state of disgrace.
Judging from the memories he got from the people in the village, Qiu Chen's family was well-off, and the people in Hei Sanhui kidnapped Qiu Chen to sell her to the Three Gods Cult.
However, Xiao Chu then carefully searched the information in his memory, but suddenly found a big problem, which was related to this girl named Qiuchen.
From the memories obtained from Hei Sanshi, I learned that this girl has a great effect on the Three Gods. It seems that she should do something and have the help of this girl.
Xiao Chu felt relieved when he thought of this. No wonder the little girl Qiu Chen was worth 100,000 taels of silver. It turned out that it was helpful to the affairs of the Three Gods. Based on this clue, Xiao Chu continued to conduct analysis and from this Three Gods
According to the teachings, what they did must be something that harmed the interests of the court. To put it simply, it was against the court. Qiu Chen, the little girl, was very helpful to their affairs, so she indirectly determined Qiu Chen's
identity.
However, without verification, Xiao Chu did not dare to make a conclusion easily, so he had to keep this matter in mind. However, he was a little confused about what the Three Gods Cult will do, is it extortion of money?
Is this reason a little untrue? Is it something else that cannot be told?
Xiao Chu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, because from the information he learned, Zhi could infer this much content.
However, Xiao Chu didn't care much. He just went home and opened his big restaurant. If he had the opportunity to open the branch to Chongming Mansion and Huaiyuan Province to attend the restaurant, he would be satisfied.
However, there is another thing that makes Xiao Chu feel uneasy, because there is another thing he doesn’t understand in the capital, that is, his identity is a matter of his own, and it’s not a good feeling to be a fugitive.
Besides, he also wanted to meet his biological mother, Jiang, again in this world.
At that time, the mother and son were sentenced to imprisonment by the emperor for life. I'm afraid that Jiang is still imprisoned now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that his biological mother was imprisoned, but he was powerless. What a sad feeling.
Sitting in front of the carriage, Xiao Chu sighed long, then looked to the horizon, his eyes slightly red.
"Hey, Xiao Chu, why do you want to sigh? We are going home, this is a happy thing." Lu Yu seemed to be in a bad mood when he saw Xiao Chu's appearance, and he was so strange that he didn't sarcastically.
early.
"Yeah, it's almost home."
After walking again for more than an hour, an extremely tall city appeared in front of the two of them, with the three big characters Chongming Mansion written on the city gate.
When Lu Yu saw the scene in front of him, he was extremely excited and even poked out half of his body from the carriage and kept looking out.
"Haha, Xiao Chu, you really won the championship this time. If I weren't there, I'm afraid I wouldn't be back." Lu Yu looked at Xiao Chu with a look of gratitude.
Xiao Chu looked at Lu Yu and smiled. This expression was not common on Lu Yu's face.
"Let's go, let's go into the city." Xiao Chu said lightly.
Lu Yu didn't say much, and looked back and forth, feeling very good. This is the feeling of returning home. The heart that he kept holding was finally let go.
"You two, get out of the car for inspection."
As soon as Xiao Chu and his wife arrived outside the city gate, they were stopped by two soldiers guarding the city and ordered them to get out of the car for inspection.
This scene made Lu Yu a little confused. He went to Chongming Mansion but went home. Do he still need to undergo an inspection?
Just when Lu Yu wanted to report his identity, Xiao Chu pulled Lu Yu down. You know, it is better to have less than more things. He knew that Lu Yu's family would definitely not guard the city.
The soldiers took it seriously, but it was the most important thing to think that the two of them would go home as soon as possible, so Xiao Chu quickly stopped Lu Yu to avoid any trouble.
"Who are you two children? You are going out alone? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?" said the city guard.
In fact, this sentence expresses the doubts of the soldiers guarding the city. The two children in front of them are obviously less than ten years old, but they can actually drive the carriage around themselves. Compared with other children under ten years old,
I'm afraid I'm still playing with mud at my doorstep?
"Hello, my name is Xiao Chu, his name is Lu Yu. We two are students who came to Huaiyuan Province with Mr. Ye Jinyu to participate in the poetry competition. We got lost on the road and tried hard to deal with the twists and turns.
The criminal escaped from his hands and returned to Chongming Mansion. He also asked this elder brother to let us go." Xiao Chu said earnestly, and what he said was the truth. He looked at the soldiers guarding the city and said.
Lu Yu looked at Xiao Chu's sincere look from behind, and was a little surprised. Xiao Chu actually had such a side?
After listening to Xiao Chu's words, the city guard soldiers thought for a while, and then seemed to remember something.
"Oh, you two are Lu Yu, Xiao Chu, who is separated from Mr. Ye and the others in Huaiyuan Provincial Capital?" asked the city guarding soldier.
This question surprised Xiao Chu a little. Didn’t he expect that the matter between them had already reached Chongming Mansion? If so, it seems that Mr. Ye and the others should have returned here too.
Xiao Chu nodded and expressed his affirmation.
"So, are you the son of Mr. Xiao Chang'an and Mr. Xiao?" The soldiers guarding the city asked again.
When Xiao Chu heard this question, he was even more surprised. Was he so famous?
Then Xiao Chu nodded blankly and said, "Yes, yes."
After speaking, a look of surprise appeared on the soldier's face.
"So it's a Dingyuan prodigy. You and your father are both great figures in our Chongming Mansion." The soldier said to Xiao Chu with respect on his face.
This time, the unexpected person became Xiao Chu. He is now a little confused about the soldier's routine. What is going on? Why did his father and son become big shots?
"Brother, can we let us go now?" Xiao Chu said slowly when he saw the soldier's face full of excitement.
"Haha, that's natural." Xiao Chu could see that the soldier's face was filled with respect, and that smile came from his heart, not a false smile.
Lu Yu, who was later, seemed a little unsatisfied after hearing the soldiers' words. Even if Xiao Chu was a child prodigy, he was not bad. Well, he actually left himself aside, not mentioning it, ignoring my existence.
It's too much.
"Since that's the case, we both will go in." Xiao Chu said with a smile on his face and said in a gentle tone.
"Please!" The soldier nodded and made a gesture to Xiao Chu for invitation.
However, just as Xiao Chu and the others passed halfway, the city guarding soldier suddenly came up and said, "I have forgotten something when I am just chatting with you."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Chu was a little confused, not knowing what the soldier meant.
"In the morning, Mr. Ye and his friends had just returned to Chongming Mansion and reported the news of your two missing to the prefect. The prefect attached great importance to this matter and directly ordered to find you with all their might and send people to find you directly.
, and the city defense has been strengthened, and the four city gates have been strictly searched. Once you are found, you will immediately take you to see him."
After hearing this, Xiao Chu seemed very surprised. Do they have such a heavy weight?
Then Xiao Chu shook his head in his heart. Although he had shown some literary talent there, it would definitely be impossible to gain such importance from the prefect.
After removing this factor, Xiao Chu quickly thought of another possibility, that is, the goal that the prefect valued by him is Lu Yu next to him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and a light reflected from his eyes, staring at Lu Yu tightly.
"Yes, the magistrate's surname is Lu, and this guy Lu Yu is also surnamed Lu. He has been with Lu Yu for so long, but he has not noticed it? With Lu Yu's clothes, he looks like he is not an ordinary child.
"Lu Yu suddenly realized and thought to himself in his heart.
"Is this guy Lu Yu the son of Lord Lu?" Xiao Chu calculated in his heart.
However, Xiao Chu was not worried about this issue. According to the soldiers guarding the city, he must have taken him and the two of them to meet the prefect. When he met Lu Qingzhi, he understood everything.
"Two, come with me. I will take you to see the magistrate. I believe everyone is already very anxious."
After speaking, the soldiers guarding the city did not hesitate and explained directly to their companions, then took them both towards the direction of the government office.
In Chongming's government office and in the court, Lu Qingzhi sat upright on it and knelt down two prisoners.
"Bang!"
The gavel sounded.
"Who is kneeling down and why do you beat the drum? If you have any injustice, tell me quickly." Lu Qingzhi's tone was full of majesty, and he looked at the two of them.
Lu Yu, who was beside him, had a small mouth and annoyed look on his face. You know, in order to convince Xiao Chu, he had been doing everything he could to do in the past two days, but he did not expect that such an ending would happen.
How can this not make him angry?
"Xiao Chu is too mean, Mr. Ye advised him many times, but this guy was indifferent? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone, as long as you get some at the Huaiyuan Provincial Poetry Competition
With the results, then the benefits he will get from returning to Chongming Mansion in the future will be countless, but this guy actually refused so many times? Could it be that this guy is a fool?" Lu Yu thought silently in his heart.
However, I don’t want it to be fine. As soon as I think of this, Lu Yu’s annoyance is even more intense. He had been pestering Mr. Ye many times before, and wanted Mr. Ye to show that he also wanted to participate in this Huaiyuan Provincial Competition Poem.
Yes, but Mr. Ye didn't agree with his proposal anyway. However, Xiao Chu was the same age as him, and the opportunity was in front of him, but this bastard actually refused.
In this case, wouldn’t I say that I am not as good as the bastard Xiao Chu?
After a while, Ye Jinyu came to his senses and saw that Lu Yu was the only one left in the hall. He sighed and murmured in his mouth, slowly said in a voice that he could only hear: "Xiao Chu, I am
I’m a little curious, why don’t you, a little guy, want to participate in the poetry competition?”
"Oh, I can only hope that Xiao Chang'an can turn the tide at this poetry competition. Otherwise, my Chongming Mansion would not be able to enter the third league for many years, and my face would be greatly disappointed."
Ye Jinyu then looked in the direction of Lu Yu, sitting there with a suffocating face, and guessed in his heart that Lu Yu must have eaten a lot of slapped in the hands of this little guy Xiao Chu.
"Hey, you are still young and cannot participate in the poetry competition, but your potential is quite good. I believe that if you are training for a few years, your achievements will definitely not be weak. Then I will bring you to the poetry competition.
It would be impossible not to win the leader at that time." Mr. Ye Jinyu said with a hint of kindness in his eyes.
Hearing Mr. Ye Jinyu's words, Lu Yu's eyes had a light of consciousness, and then asked, "Mr. Ye, what you said is true?"
Mr. Ye Jinyu nodded, paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Of course, you think that is where my Chongming Prefecture School is? In fact, ordinary people come here as soon as they want. If you are not talented, it is up to your father.
In terms of shame, it is impossible to enter the school, and you..."
