Xu Qinghuan did not hesitate, showing a soft smile and said: "Master Song, I won't go. I hope everything goes well for Master Song."
She raised her face and seemed to be talking and laughing with him.
Although he had agreed on this matter a long time ago, he was rejected so happily, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Song Chengxuan said: "Then give me a ride."
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but be startled. Wasn't this what she had promised before, would she stay in Changzhou?
Mr. Song wouldn't suddenly change his mind, so wouldn't their previous arrangements be in vain?
Xu Qinghuan's eyes fell on Madam Chang who was not far away. Madam Chang had already packed her baggage and was about to go to Yizhuang with the Yamen's wife.
Facing this man's sudden request, she found it difficult to cope with it.
Xu Qinghuan cleared her throat: "Master Song, I... am a little busy today. Can I take you to the gate of the city?" Song Chengxuan should have said this as a joke to her. If he really sent him outside the city, wouldn't he have to send her off again?
Returning to the city? There was no way she would be left on the road, so after much deliberation, she decided to go to the city gate...
Yong Ye's ears twitched, and when he heard Miss Xu's words, he immediately looked at his nose and heart, not looking at the young master's face. Most likely, he felt as if he had rubbed the bottom of the pot.
Miss Xu's heart has flown away a long time ago. It's obvious that she doesn't even want to go to the city gate. When did the young master become stupid and ask for trouble like this?
"Seeing as you are unwilling," Song Chengxuan said, "Then I owe you the debt and pay it back to me next time."
After Song Chengxuan finished speaking, he turned around and mounted his horse to leave.
Looking at the handsome and cold-faced Master Song, Xu Qinghuan frowned slightly, as if she had owed another debt for no reason.
And the creditor will obviously calculate these clearly.
"Master Song, go early and come back early."
He had to hear her say such a word before he pulled the reins and led the people to the official road. Before the horse could spread its hooves, he saw Li Xu and Chang Yue coming towards them.
"Lord Song." Chang Yue said with a smile on his face, "This war is over. Your Majesty will soon issue an edict to invite you to Beijing. Seeing the bravery of the naval officers, His Majesty will definitely be delighted. Lord Song is even more of a merit...
...Now it seems that Mr. Song is also feeling refreshed. This is going to be a happy event." Seeing that the affairs in Changzhou have been completed, now it is time to wait for their return to Beijing. They will naturally receive awards when they arrive in Beijing. A few days ago
Chang Yue was already frightened by the killing of the deserters in the military camp. He did not want Mr. Song to cause any trouble again.
Chang Yue chattered endlessly, her compliments and flattery were clearly revealed at this time.
Song Chengxuan ignored Chang Yue and his eyes fell on Li Xu.
From Fengxiang to Beijing and then to Changzhou, Li Xu also came after the people behind Wang Yun. Li Xu must have found clues about Master Huijing and the Yan family.
Song Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. That day at the Beijing wine shop, the Li family had been very close to Mr. Xu Wu. Mr. Xu Wu trusted the Li family and his son very much. He sent people to check the details of the Li family and his son. Only then did Master Xu Wu and Li Changyan get to know each other.
Soon, it became apparent that the Li family and his son were accustomed to demagogueing people.
Li Xu entered the Ministry of Justice with Su Huai, and made contributions along the way. His official career was very smooth. It can be seen that every step of Li Xu's steps so far has been planned in advance.
According to Li Xu's usual practice, this time involving the late emperor and the survivors of the previous dynasty, Li Xu should have watched from the sidelines and waited until the situation became clear before taking action.
But at this moment, this calm and calculating Li Xu seemed to have other plans.
Seeing that Song Chengxuan had no intention of speaking, Li Xu said: "We will not disturb Mr. Song." As he said that, he rode out of the way and for the first time did not test Song Chengxuan's attitude.
Chang Yue felt a strange atmosphere. Whether it was the majestic Lord Song or the elegant Li Xu, it was hard to figure out.
Song Chengxuan gradually went away, and Chang Yue couldn't help but look at Li Xu: "Does Mr. Li have any friendship with Mr. Song?"
Li Xu said: "It's just acquaintance."
Chang Yue was speechless: "This Lord Song is young and energetic, and he is in the limelight. Lord Li, it is better not to offend him," he said, looking forward, "As well as the Anyi Marquis Mansion and Miss Xu, we must be careful.
Now, these two families are one family.
Miss Xu and Song Chengxuan were a perfect match. Wherever there was trouble, they were always there.
My dear young lady, why do you like these things? They are full of swords, swords, shadows, and blood. No wonder she would choose that kind of husband."
Li Xu looked at Xu Qinghuan, who was not far away. Do she and Song Chengxuan look like a good match? The corners of Li Xu's mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared, as if he agreed with Chang Yue's words.
But soon Li Xu was surprised by his own reaction. When he was at home, he had already practiced being indifferent to emotions and anger. Even if he encountered the most unpleasant thing in his heart, he would not be angry, but would smile.
, hide everything behind that smile.
She was very smart, and unlike ordinary women, he was still interested in her unconsciously.
"Master Li, let's go," Chang Yue said, "It's just a small murder case. We don't need Beijing officials like us to take action. The local government will handle it carefully."
"Master Chang," Li Xu said suddenly, "do you still remember what I said yesterday?"
Chang Yue looked at Li Xu, frowned and thought carefully.
Li Xu said: "Officials in Beijing are starting to fill up their exams. Mr. Chang has been in office for five years and should have been promoted long ago. He just lacks a good opportunity."
Chang Yue knew how smart Li Xu was. Li Xu's words always gave people a sense of enlightenment. This errand went so smoothly thanks to Li Xu's companionship.
Chang Yue said: "Master Li means..."
Li Xu said: "As long as you do this well, Lord Chang will definitely get what you want."
Chang Yue was happy in her heart, but still didn't know what Li Xu meant: "That thing you are referring to again?"
Li Xu turned to look at Jiang'an: "It's so close in front of you. Didn't Master Chang see it?"
With both Xu Qinghuan and Song Chengxuan here, the Yan family's case involves more than just a young lady who has not left the cabinet, and the most important thing is the Yan family's family background.
Chang Yue was dumbfounded: "How... does this... have anything to do with the court?"
After the Yan family dispersed and the Xu family's carriage left, the riverbank became very deserted, with only a few scattered people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Li Xu said: "If you keep an eye on the Yan family, you will definitely gain something."
Chang Yue immediately asked: "Then we go to Yan's house?"
"Don't go," Li Xu shook his head, "If you get too close, you will alert the enemy. We just need to show up at the right time."
…
In the Zen room, Master Huijing was carefully copying Buddhist scriptures. After he finished copying the entire Buddhist scriptures, he stopped writing and went to pick up the tea bowl with his own hands. Because he had been writing for too long, his hands were shaking slightly.
After regaining his breath, he raised his head and asked the young novice beside him: "Are you leaving?"
The little novice monk said: "It's...the donor from Song Dynasty brought people out of Changzhou."
"Just leave," Master Huijing nodded. "There is less murderous intent in this city." For Song Chengxuan, it was obviously more important to confirm what happened back then with General Guo.
It was related to the reputation of the late emperor. This snack was so tempting that no one could help but reach out and take it. Pushing Song Chengxuan away gave him a little more confidence.
Master Huijing washed away the ink stains on his fingers, and his hands became white again. He took the string of Buddhist beads and gently twisted them: "Let's do it!"
