Are you going to Qiufu?"

Suddenly, Qiuhou asked.

At this time, the two of them stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the square in front of the hall.

After a pause, Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "I still have some things to do." ”

"Now that you are truly in a high position, and you are also at the top of the hundred officials, even higher than Sima Changyun, it is normal to have a lot of things to deal with. Qiuhou spoke, and these words seemed to express her understanding of Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a big deal, after I'm done, I'll visit the door as soon as possible." ”

"Then I'll let Tian'er come back and let you two stay a little longer. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiuhou had already laid out the stairs, so that Dongfang Shuo had no room to say more.

And watching Qiuhou go away, Dongfang Shuo, who opened his mouth, finally turned the words that came to his mouth into a sigh.

"Sweet. ”

He sighed.

When I first saw Akiba Bai, this was her self-proclaim, and at that time, Akiba Bai was regarded as someone's child.

Time flies, and it has been half a year since I came to Xuzhou.

"A lot has really happened in the past six months. ”

He sighed, and set off to step down the stairs.

And it is precisely because so many things have happened that he was able to stand at his current height in just half a year.

It can be said to be luck, or it can be said to be a manifestation of ability.

But more, Dongfang Shuo had a vague premonition, which seemed to be an arrangement in the dark.

In his thoughts, he had reached the bottom of the stairs.

And at this moment, a eunuch walked in front of him.

"Father-in-law. ”

He suddenly stopped it.

The eunuch turned around and saluted Dongfang Shuo.

And Dongfang Shuo approached with a smile, and then said: "Sure enough, it's you, thanks to you for helping me in the house that day, otherwise those who came to visit would not have annoyed me to death, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Your Majesty's orders are a matter within the small slave's share, and Lord Dongfang doesn't have to worry about it. ”

The eunuch's stature became more and more groveling.

And Dongfang Shuo didn't continue to say more, so he went straight to the main point: "However, I didn't know if you could find the list that you came back to sort out last time?"

"More than three months have passed, and the list has naturally been completed. ”

The eunuch immediately replied.

At the same time, he groped in the cuffs twice, and finally took out a fold of paper, which was not too big or small, and presented it to Dongfang Shuo with both hands.

Dongfang Shuo took the paper and was about to open it, but the eunuch hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"This list is very important," the eunuch said in a low voice, "and please don't open it here." ”

After the two sides exchanged glances, Dongfang Shuo laughed and immediately put away the folded paper.

When the eunuch saw this, he gave up his hand and turned away.

Dongfang Shuo flicked his sleeves and walked in the direction of the palace gate.

When he walked out of the palace gate again, the soldiers on the main road of the imperial city had already been withdrawn, and the number of pedestrians came and went.

He stood only a few feet outside the palace gate, and after a long silence, he reached out and touched his chest, and at this time the tiger talisman was collected by him in this position.

Throughout, the Emperor never took back his Tiger Talisman.

What exactly does this mean, this is really unpredictable for Dongfang Shuo.

In the final analysis, this tiger talisman is a symbol of the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Dynasty.

"Is it really as Feng Qingyang said?"

He couldn't help but frown.

However, he didn't continue to delve into it, after all, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come up with the answer on his own.

After some inquiry, he learned that Yang Dongsheng's family had been sent by the emperor to Dongfang Shuo's mansion, which saved Dongfang Shuo some trouble.

So, as soon as he turned around, he walked from outside the palace gate on the road to the east city.

The more you walk, the quieter the surroundings become, because the more you go to the east city, the farther away from the bustle of the imperial city.

And in the end, in only two quarters of an hour, his footsteps came to a long-lost road.

This road is not crowded with pedestrians, but it is very wide, because there are many luxurious carriages and horses, and this is a noble street.

After sinking his gaze, Dongfang Shuo turned around and looked at a façade beside him.

Looking up, the plaque is still the same, with the words 'Drunken Immortal Residence' written on it.

"Before I knew it, I had come here again. ”

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

And he just quietly looked at the façade of the Drunken Immortal Residence, but he didn't move for a long time to get half a step closer.

After standing still for a moment, he closed his eyes and listened to the traffic around him with his ears.

At this time, in his mind, countless scenes appeared, and they were all kinds of different ways of Ji Zhaoning's appearance.

But when he opened his eyes again, the Drunken Immortal Residence was still the Drunken Immortal Residence, but Ji Zhaoning did not appear as he expected.

"It seems that she is really gone. ”

Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly.

Although there is not much intersection between the two, they suddenly can't see each other at this moment, and Dongfang Shuo feels a little bored in his heart.

It's not because I'm separated from Ji Zhaoning, but because Ji Zhaoning doesn't say goodbye, I don't know where to go, I'm afraid I'll never see him again.

Because of this, Dongfang Shuo's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

“...... Guest?"

Suddenly, the voice of a small guy recalled Dongfang Shuo's mind.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the little guy in front of him seemed to have called him several times.

Looking at it closely, he recognized this little guy at a glance, it was the little guy who helped him out of the siege on the day he was entangled by the young master of the Sima family.

"What's the matter?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The little servant said: "I saw that the guest was standing here without moving, so I came up to inquire, is the guest okay?"

"Unexpectedly, the Drunken Immortal Residence is very thoughtful in its hospitality, and even the guests who have not entered will care. Dongfang Shuo smiled, "However, I am not a guest of your family today, you can go back." ”

The little guy looked at Dongfang Shuo, didn't move, and said after a pause: "Miss Ji said that if the guests come again, they should take care of it more." ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

This title seems to be different from the past.

"Miss Ji?"

Dongfang Shuo said, "Didn't you all call her Miss in the past?"

"Miss Ji has redeemed herself, so she naturally wants to be called Miss Ji. ”

The little guy said.

Listening to his words, Dongfang Shuo was stunned again.

Including the Drunken Immortal Residence, all the names inside and outside the Imperial City are Ji Zhaoning's industry, and such people still need to use the word 'redemption'?

Then there is only one possibility, that is, even this little guy doesn't know Ji Zhaoning's true identity.

This is not surprising, though.

"She's gone?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you know where she went?"

"I don't know. ”

"Is anyone coming to pick her up?"

"She walked alone. ”

After some inquiry, the little guy didn't give any meaningful information.

So, Dongfang Shuo just gave up.

"I'm leaving. ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked away.
