forty-three

After sleeping in Ren's mansion, Ye Changsheng got up early the next day, and then grabbed Chu Liuxiang and ran to find Ren Xiang.

The more he reached the last critical moment, the more he couldn't sit still, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, if it wasn't for Chu Liuxiang's tough and coaxing look at him to sleep the night before, he was afraid that he would have to make trouble all night.

Ren Xiang still looked like he was yesterday, drinking morning tea slowly, and taking them to breakfast slowly. Ye Changsheng was really going to be anxious to die by him, and he couldn't wait to fly over with his wings, how could he be in any mood to have breakfast.

However, Chu Liuxiang would not allow him not to eat, so under the persecution of these two people, Ye Changsheng could only drink porridge quickly, and at the same time, he was also fed by Chu Liuxiang from time to time to chew two mouthfuls of fritters, and his mouth was bulging.

After eating nearly a stick of incense for breakfast, as soon as Ren Xiang put down the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Changsheng, who had been sitting and waiting for a long time, stood up almost immediately, and was about to run outside, of course, he was still caught by Chu Liuxiang and came back and wiped his mouth and hands carefully before letting go.

After waiting for another half a pillar of incense, Ren Xiang finally asked his subordinates to drive the carriage out and set off to take the two to the place where they were going.

"The teacher set up a three-entry house outside this city a long time ago, and this is the destination of our trip, and that thing is placed there." Ren Xiang sat in the carriage and said, "It's just that the place is really a little far away, don't worry." ”

"Mmmmmmmm Ye Changsheng's whole person was in a state of high excitement and nervousness, and his mind was full of thoughts about this matter, so whatever Ren Xiang said was good.

The carriage traveled at a speed that was not in a hurry, turning to an inconspicuous path, and Ren Xiang inadvertently lifted the curtain several times during the period and kept looking around, as if to confirm whether there was anyone following behind. It wasn't until after noon that the carriage finally reached its destination.

Ye Changsheng got out of the car, and what he saw was a big idyllic mansion hidden in the jungle and mountains, and it didn't look noticeable on the outside. Ren Xiang didn't say much, and walked in directly with the two of them.

I didn't expect this house to look inconspicuous from the outside, but when I walked in, I found that there was a hole inside. There are a lot of small bridges, flowing water, rockery ponds, koi carp and green bamboo, elegant and chic, and everywhere reveals the breath of people.

Chu Liuxiang secretly observed as he walked, this place was not so much to hide things, but more reasonable if it was Tibetan. By now, he had some vague answers in his heart, but he wasn't sure yet, and if it was really what he thought, he might choose to hide it.

This three-entry house is indeed very large, and they walked for a long time to reach the inner courtyard. As soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate, I saw a few people standing at the door rushing towards me.

"Young Master!" The little scholar who was the fastest runner in a cyan subordinate costume ran over while shouting, and looked at Ye Changsheng with tears in his eyes, "Young Master, you are here!" ”

Ye Chang also recognized these people as the scholars and maids who grew up with him since childhood, and he was really surprised: "Shumo! Why are you guys here! ”

There were also two maid-like women who followed the little scholar, they surrounded Ye Changsheng, and their faces were full of tears: "Young master, the slave maid thought that she would never see you again!" ”

The master and servant were there to confess their relatives in tears, while Chu Liuxiang and Ren Xiang were squeezed aside and forgotten.

Fortunately, although Ye Changsheng was happy, he still remembered his mission, and after saying a few words to them, he turned his head to look at Ren Xiang. Ren Xiang knew what he meant, "Come with me." ”

They walked to a separate courtyard, Ren Xiang asked the others to retreat, wanting to take Ye Changsheng in by himself, but Chu Liuxiang naturally would not agree.

"Young Master Chu, this is a very important matter, and you are not suitable for an outsider to follow." Ren Xiang said politely that he had long seen this guy who was eccentric and attentive to his little junior brother.

Chu Liuxiang replied calmly: "Changsheng was escorted by me all the way, since they are all here, there is nothing I can't know, not to mention that I don't worry about him going in alone." ”

"What does Gongzi Chu mean by this?" Ren Xiang was slightly angry, "You mean I'm going to be bad for him!?" ”

"Of course not, it's just that something happens every time Changsheng leaves my eyes, and Chu doesn't dare to be careless anymore." Chu Liuxiang said firmly.

Ye Changsheng didn't understand what these two people were fighting, "Brother Chu is a person who can be trusted, Brother Ren should take us in first, it's okay." ”

Ren Xiang still wanted to say something, but glared at Chu Liuxiang, who was a little proud, for a long time, before he snorted coldly and turned around and said, "Come with me." ”

This room is not very big, it looks ordinary, it should be a guest room or something, decorated and ordinary. Ye Changsheng looked around and didn't see where this place looked like a place where he could hide edicts.

Ren Xiang walked to the table in the room, raised his hand and turned it around on a candlestick on the table, and then there was a bang on the wall, revealing a door.

Ye Changsheng was stunned.

Ren Xiang calmly walked in from the hole in the wall, and reappeared at the door in a moment, with one more thing in his hand. Ye Changsheng stared closely at the small wooden box he was holding, this must be what his father asked him to take.

He stretched out his hand to take the thing that Ren Xiang handed over, opened it carefully, and sure enough, there was a scroll that had been sealed up lying quietly inside.

"Can I open it and take a look?" Ye Changsheng held his breath and asked softly.

"It's better not to." Ren Xiang replied to him, "This is a secret decree, the emperor specially sealed it with wax, and it must not be opened until the last moment, otherwise it will be useless." ”

"Okay." Ye Changsheng solemnly stuffed the small box into his arms and wrapped it, "Then I will leave to return to the capital tomorrow." ”

Ren Xiang's face stiffened for a moment, and then said, "Let me send someone over." ”

Ye Changsheng didn't agree, "No, my father specially asked me to take this thing, how can I fake someone else's hand, what if I lose it?" ”

Ren Xiang patiently persuaded him: "The situation in the capital is tense now, if you take it back yourself, it must be too slow, and you must focus on the overall situation." ”

"I can do it, it's okay to go faster on the road." Ye Changsheng argued with reason.

"But what about your body?" Ren Xiang said, "You also know how your body is, if you have a disease on the road, you have to recuperate, isn't this a delay in time?" ”

"But...... I ......" Ye Changsheng hesitated, Ren Xiang was right, his body was indeed a burden, and this trip did take a lot of time, if he went back like this, at least he would have to walk for about a month, which was indeed very delayed.

He began to feel embarrassed.
