Chapter 222: A Visitor from Guangling
Early the next morning, March 16.
Early in the morning of the second day after the end of the Xishan Tea Party.
Outside the city of Gunzhou, a team slowly approached from a distance.
A white-robed young man led by rode a horse, carrying a long sword, with a handsome posture and a faint look of arrogance on the corner of his lips.
Let it be.
A disciple of the inner door of the Tianyuan Academy, the son of the head of the family in Gunzhou City.
Ren Yixu has a close relationship with Xiang Ming, the son of the governor.
Some time ago, Xiang Ming entrusted Ren Yixu with one thing, and asked him to lead the guards of the Governor's Mansion and personally go to Guangling City, Yunhe County.
In order to bring Wen Lingzhao's parents to Gunzhou City.
Now, Ren Yixu not only successfully completed the task, but even the old lady of the Wen family also picked it up, and now he is in a carriage behind him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is the city of Gunzhou in the distance, and I will take you directly to the Governor's Mansion later. ”
Ren Yaoyao pointed into the distance and spoke loudly.
The window curtain of the carriage had already been lifted, and Wen Changjing smiled and hugged his fists and said: "There is Lao Gongzi and a group of guards to escort you along the way!"
This patriarch of the Wen family, when he was in Guangling City, was also a big man that everyone looked up to, and he was majestic.
But now when facing a young man like Ren Yixu, his expression is full of deference, and even faintly with a hint of flattery.
Ren Yixuan waved his hand and said: "Xiang Ming and I are good brothers who marry Jin Lan, his business is my business, Uncle Wen doesn't have to be polite." ”
Wen Changjing's old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Seeing this, Qin Jing next to him said proudly: "Patriarch, our Wen family can be invited by the son of the governor, but for the sake of Lingzhao's face. ”
Wen Changjing laughed and said: "What my brother and sister said is very true, Ling Zhao, this kid is getting more and more promising, I heard that among the younger generation of disciples of Tianyuan Academy Palace today, the most eye-catching is Ling Zhao!"
Qin Jing said triumphantly: "That's nature. ”
Wen Changtai on the side is an honest man and has been silent.
Old Lady Wen, who was sitting in the center, was a little displeased, and frowned: "It's just that I was invited to the Governor's Palace, so deserve your pride?"
Qin Jing was speechless for a moment, pouting.
Wen Changjing said with emotion: "Old lady, you have seen the world in Yujing City when you were young, so naturally you don't care about the prestige of the governor of a state, but no matter what, compared with our Wen family and the governor's mansion, it is simply the gap between the river and the ocean......"
The old lady snorted coldly and interrupted: "Okay." ”
Sensing that the old lady seemed to be a little dissatisfied, Wen Changjing also shut up suddenly.
Soon, the team entered the gate of the city of Gunzhou and headed all the way to the governor's palace.
Until he arrived at the majestic building of the Governor's Palace, Ren Yixu turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Governor's Palace has arrived. ”
Wen Changjing and others stepped out of the carriage one after another.
When he saw the gate of the Governor's Palace, even Mrs. Wen couldn't help but be a little restrained, and she was slightly apprehensive in her heart.
Although she was a maid in the Su family in Yujing City back then, after all, she was just a maidservant girl with a low status, how could she really dare not put the Governor's Mansion in her eyes?
As for Wen Changjing, Wen Changtai and Qin Qin, they were all stiff, and an irrepressible awe appeared between their eyebrows.
For them, the governor of a state, who holds the power of life and death, is no different from the emperor of the soil.
Ren Yixu took in the expressions of everyone in the Wen family, and there was a burst of amusement in his heart, and he could see at a glance that these Wen family members had never seen anything in the world.
He cleared his throat and said, "Guys, come with me." ”
As he spoke, he walked straight towards the gate of the Governor's Palace. "Everyone, please stay. ”
In front of the gate of the Governor's Palace, there were two teams of elite guards, and when they saw Ren Yixu coming, a thin man immediately stepped forward.
"You...... Don't recognize me?"
Ren Yixuan was stunned, he had a bad relationship with Xiang Ming, and when he came to the Governor's Mansion in the past, no one dared to stop him.
The thin man said coldly: "Dare to ask who the son is looking for?"
Ren Yixu's face was slightly ugly, and he said: "Bastard, I don't even know it anymore, so get out of the way of me if I know each other!"
The thin man's eyes played: "Uncle Xiang, young man, don't you know that yesterday, Xiang Tianxuan had died on the top of the West Mountain? ”
Ren Yixu's face changed suddenly, and he said, "What!?"
The thin man showed pity and said, "It seems that you don't know what the situation is." ”
Leaving him there, he was fully aware that something was wrong.
Wen Changjing and they were also surprised, what is the situation?
"Come on, take these people down for me!"
Suddenly, the thin man drank.
The guards on both sides suddenly agreed, and their murderous aura was so frightened that Wen Changjing's knees weakened, and they almost couldn't stand up.
They were invited to the Governor's Palace, thinking it was a great event, but who would have thought that such a disaster would come across?
"You dare!"
Ren said angrily, "Why are you arresting people, and do you know who I am?"
The thin man said solemnly: "You call the old thief Xiang uncle, naturally you have a different relationship with the old thief, Lord Mu has ordered yesterday that anyone who is close to the old thief must be taken down!"
After a pause, he stared at Ren Yixu with cold eyes, "If any of you dare to resist, you are a thief, and you will be killed!"
Before he could react, Qin Qin, who was already frightened, shouted: "My lord, spare my life, we are from the Wen family in Guangling City, and we have nothing to do with the old thief at all!"
"That Wen family in Guangling City?"
The thin man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly changed subtly.
"Exactly!"
Seeing this, Wen Changjing hurriedly nodded and said, "We were invited to come to the Governor's Mansion this time, and we didn't know Xiang Tianxuan before!"
He was also frightened, and his speech trembled.
"What's going on here?"
At this time, two people walked out of the governor's palace, one was the new governor Mu Zhongting, and the other was Zhou Zhili, the sixth prince.
Both of them looked at the scene in front of them with some strange eyes.
The thin man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Lord Mu, these people say that they are from the Wen family of Guangling City......"
He gave a brief and concise account of the situation.
Zhou Zhili was stunned for a moment, and his eyes swept over.
At this moment, Ren Yixu was scared into a cold sweat.
Your Highness?
Could this young man in front of him be a prince!?
Mrs. Wen also changed color, and when she faced Zhou Zhili's gaze, she subconsciously lowered her head, and her heart was churning.
She vaguely saw that something terrible had happened in the Governor's Palace!
Otherwise, how could a venerable figure called "Your Highness" be here?
"You are also from the Wen family?"
Zhou Zhili looked at Ren Yixu.
Ren Yixu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "In the next Ren Yixu, he is a member of the Ren family in the city, and now he is practicing in the Tianyuan Academy." ”
Zhou Zhili sighed, looked away directly, looked at Wen Changjing and the others, and said thoughtfully: "Since you say that you are from the Wen family, come with me." ”
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked into the distance.
"Everyone, please. ”
Mu Zhongting raised his hand towards Wen Changjing and the others.
Wen Changjing and they looked at each other, even though they had doubts in their hearts, but in such a situation, how could they dare to refuse?
Immediately followed honestly.
"Take care of him first. ”
Mu Zhongting pointed to Ren Yixu not far away, gave an order, and hurriedly chased after Zhou Zhili with a group of guards.
"Ren Gongzi, did you take the initiative to go in with us yourself, or did you let us do it?"
The thin man looked at Ren Yixu with cold eyes.
Ren was depressed, realizing that he was most likely affected by Xiang Ming and encountered an unwarranted disaster!
......
Along the way, Wen Changjing and the others were all terrified in their hearts, and they didn't expect that they would encounter such a flying disaster when they had just arrived in Gunzhou City!
The most ridiculous thing is that they don't know where they will be taken now and what will happen to them.
The unknown is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing.
Zhou Zhili didn't explain anything.
Mu Zhongting naturally didn't say much.
The reason is that the two of them don't know whether the relationship between Su Yi and the Wen family is good or bad, and whether there is a hidden secret that they don't want people to know.
Therefore, the wisest thing to do is to remain silent.
But the more this is the case, the more they are worried in their hearts.
Even Mrs. Wen was worried, and there was a haze between her eyebrows.
"You say, could it be because of the relationship between Ling Zhao and Xiang Ming, the son of the governor, that we have also been implicated?"
On the way, Wen Changjing couldn't help but whisper.
"This ......," Qin Jing said in fear, "If that's the case, then what can we do?"
Mrs. Wen took a deep breath and said, "What's the panic, our Wen family has nothing to do with the Governor's Mansion, as long as we explain our identities clearly, we will be fine." ”
Wen Changjing, Wen Changtai and Qin Jing nodded in unison.
Hearing their conversation, Mu Zhongting's eyes couldn't help but become a little strange, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Soon, they came to Sosekiju.
Zhou Zhili personally stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, Cha Jin opened the courtyard gate, and when he saw that it was Zhou Zhili and Mu Zhongting, he said, "Wait a minute, I will go and ask the son." ”
Zhou Zhili said: "The tea brocade girl is slow. ”
"What does Your Highness command?"
Cha Jin was puzzled.
Zhou Zhili pointed at Wen Changtai and the others, and said in a low voice: "Those are the people of the Wen family, I saw them in front of the Governor's Mansion just now, but I don't dare to confirm their identities, when you go to see Brother Su, tell him about this situation as well." ”
"Good. ”
Cha Jin nodded and turned away.
Although Wen Changjing and the others did not hear the conversation between Cha Jin and Zhou Zhili clearly.
But when standing in front of this courtyard at this time, they subconsciously had a premonition, and the next step was most likely to be the time to decide their life and death!
For a while, they all became more and more nervous and uneasy.
Especially Qin Jing, she was so frightened that her face was gloomy, if it weren't for Wen Changtai supporting her, I am afraid that she would have sat on the ground paralyzed.
Not long after, Cha Jin returned and said, "Childe, please come in." ”
Zhou Zhili nodded and took the lead in entering the Shushi Residence.
Wen Changjing wanted to refuse, but when he saw the fierce and vicious guards behind Mu Zhongting, he was completely wilted.
Immediately, like prisoners on the execution ground, they walked into the stone house one by one.
