Three months later, the anti-rebellion team returned to Beijing, but there was no Shen Nanzhu among them.

Mengbao hasn't even received a letter from him in the past few months, and his worries are naturally self-evident.

As if to appease her emotions, Liu Bufan, who had not been to the door for a long time, came to Liu's mansion this day.

"Mr. Liu, why did everyone else come back, but Ah Zhu didn't come back?"

As soon as Liu Bufan entered the door, before he could speak, he was asked by Mengbao.

He frowned, and looked at him with some dissatisfaction: "How many times have I said it, it's Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, not Mr. Liu!" ”

In the past, Meng Poke didn't bother to pay attention to him, but today he had to give a patient salute and said, "Yes, Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Bufan nodded with satisfaction and sat down in the room by himself.

"Actually, it's not just that Azhu hasn't come back."

He took the teacup handed by the red note and said.

"The second son of the Rongguo Mansion, as well as those who were with them, several of them haven't come back yet."

Mengbao almost couldn't help but roll her eyes, those people can't come back or what does it matter to her, she will pay attention to these things when she has nothing to do!

"I don't care about others, I just want to know why Azhu didn't come back."

She asked.

Liu Bufan took a sip of tea and put the cup down.

"I think you also know that Ah Zhu was sent by His Majesty to carry out some other tasks, and quelling the chaos is just a pretense."

"I know."

Mengbao nodded: "Isn't it more dangerous than quelling the chaos?" ”

More dangerous than quelling the chaos?

Liu Bufan thought about it seriously and said. If this matter is discovered, it is indeed more dangerous than quelling the chaos.

But it's useless to talk to this girl about it right now, anyway, it's done.

"Not really." He shook his head.

Mengbao breathed a deep sigh of relief, and asked again: "Does that gentleman know where Azhu is now?" Why didn't you even send a letter to your family? ”

"Not only did you not receive the letter from home, but Your Majesty also did not receive his report in the past three months."

Liu Bufan took another sip of tea and said slowly: "Because he has to act secretively and must not be found to be exposed, he has hardly contacted anyone in the past three months except for those around him, and naturally he can't contact you." ”

In case contacted. Being discovered or suspected of something. She will also be in danger if she is far away in the capital.

Mengbao's heart was clear, but his brows did not stretch.

"And now? Is it done? ”

"Well, it's done," Liu Bufan nodded. After the matter was done, he presented a report to His Majesty as soon as possible. But you are not mentioned in the newspapers. So I should have written a letter to you separately for someone to send it. ”

"Naturally, this book did not go as fast as the report specially presented to the imperial court, and it is estimated that it is still on the way, and you should be able to receive it soon."

Mengbao was completely relieved. But he was still puzzled: "Since everything has been done, why didn't he return to Beijing with the team to quell the chaos." ”

"Oh, this......"

"Although the things that His Majesty gave him before have been done, there are still some other things that he needs to deal with, so he won't be able to come back for a while."

Can't come back for a while?

Meng Bao gritted his teeth angrily, could it be that Sheng An was the only one available, Shen Nanzhu?

Liu Bufan naturally knew what she was thinking, he laughed twice, and said, "Don't worry, there is no danger in the future." ”

At least it's much safer than investigating King Min's rebellion.

He added in his heart, of course, he didn't say this sentence to Mengbao.

"Ah Zhu has made a great contribution to this trip, and His Majesty is bound to reward him greatly by quelling the chaos."

"As far as I know, Your Majesty has given him a house in the east of the city."

"It just so happens that he is going back to Bei'an City for a few months recently, and I guess he will take this opportunity to bring his family over, and you will be able to reunite then."

A few months?

Mengbao rolled her eyes again.

Who knew that Liu Bufan said again: "If it takes a little longer, it may take a year and a half." But when he returns, you'll be in for a treat! ”

Who wants what the scenery is unlimited!

Mengbao gritted his teeth.

"Sir, are you sure that Azhu is going back to Bei'an?"

She asked with a calm face.

Liu Bufan nodded: "Yes, according to the report, he completed the things assigned by His Majesty half a month ago, so he should have arrived in Bei'an by now." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the woman in front of me slap the table, and the table top shook.

If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain!

Mengbao shouted in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

It's not the 21st century, she can go wherever she wants.

At this moment, she is already married to a wife, how can she walk around when her husband is not at home, even if she goes back to Bei'an.

She was frowning and didn't know what to do, and Xi'er's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, Sangzi is here, saying that there is a letter from the prince." ”

Epistle?

Mengbao stood up in surprise: "Let him come in!" ”

Liu Bufan on the side was full of surprise, he was only half a day slower than the report to the imperial court? It shouldn't be......

The white young man walked into the room and saluted Mengbao shyly, ignoring Liu Bufan who was sitting on the side.

"Miss, the prince sent a letter back."

Mulberry said as he handed over the letter in his hand.

Mengbao took it, couldn't wait to open it, and looked at it carefully.

As the letter flipped, the corners of her lips curled up, and a sweet smile appeared in her eyes.

"Red note, Xi'er, go and call Zhao's mother and Que'er to pack their luggage. Aman, tell Steward Cao to prepare the carriage, and when we pack up, we will set off immediately and head to Bei'an. ”

"What?"

Liu Bufan almost couldn't hold back and snatched the letter directly from her.

"Azhu asked you to go?"

"yes."

Meng Bao raised the letter in his hand: "He doesn't know how long he will stay in Bei'an, and he wants me to go back to celebrate the New Year with him." ”

Celebrating the New Year together?

Liu Bufan blocked his heart with a mouthful of old blood.

How would his cold-faced disciple say such a thing? I don't believe it if I kill him!

"Show me! Show me! ”

As he spoke, he reached for the letter.

Mengbao was not embarrassed. He handed it to him with a smile, and then turned his head to explain what to the maids.

Liu Bufan read half of the letter in his hand and returned it to Mengbao, and then hammered his heart twice.

"A teacher is not as good as a wife...... The old man had never heard him speak so kindly in his life......"

Mengbao grinned, put away the letter and went to pack his luggage with the maids.

Liu Bufan picked up the cup on the table and wanted to take another sip, only to find that there was not a drop of tea left in the cup.

He frowned, raised his hand with the teacup, and said, "Pour me another cup of tea." ”

The voice was drowned out in the laughter and discussion of several women, and no one paid attention to it for a long time.

He sighed, stood up helplessly, and left on his own.

If you know that you won't come, you won't come if you know that you won't come! What is this called?

…………………………

"She's coming to Bei'an?"

Wei Chengfeng sat up straight from the bed suddenly. Full of surprise.

The attendant sighed helplessly. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, it is said that there are still three or two days to go, but because of the wind and snow on the road, it may take a few days at night." ”

Wei Chengfeng's eyebrows were full of smiles. The pale complexion of the disease has become a little ruddy because of this. People also seem to be a little more energetic. Not as haggard as these days.

"So Second Young Master, hurry up and drink the medicine. Otherwise, when she comes, you will stand by Shen Shizi's side sickly. It seems that you are not as good as Shen Shizi. ”

Yes, yes, yes, you have to drink the medicine quickly, and you can't let her see herself like this.

Wei Chengfeng hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl that was placed aside.

I just handed it to my lips but remembered something, and glared: "What do you mean that you can't compare to him?" Is there anything I have not been able to compare to him before? ”

"No, no!"

The attendant hurriedly said: "The second young master is handsome and dashing, if it weren't for his illness, he would definitely be able to overwhelm Shen Shizi!" ”

That's pretty much it!

Wei Chengfeng glared at him again, and drank the extremely bitter decoction in the bowl.

The attendant breathed a sigh of relief and took the empty medicine bowl and prepared to leave, but he grabbed him again.

"What does the second young master command?"

He asked.

Wei Chengfeng didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he whispered a few words to the attendant, and the attendant's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Second Young Master, I'm afraid this is not okay?"

"If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense!"

"But ......"

Wei Chengfeng rolled his eyes, lay back on the bed, and covered his heart weakly: "No, this medicine is too bitter, I won't drink it anymore......"

The attendant was speechless, so he had to nod: "Yes, the subordinates will do what you say." ”

The man who was lying on the bed sighing still covered his heart and looked uncomfortable, but a smile quietly pulled up on his lips.

The attendant who walked out of the door looked up at the sky, and finally shook his head helplessly, and whispered something to the people guarding the door.

The man was slightly stunned, and lowered his voice: "Is this okay?" The second young master didn't seem to explain like this just now. ”

Although Wei Chengfeng's voice was not loud just now, he still heard it outside the room.

The attendant frowned and glared at him: "If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense." ”

The man hurriedly lowered his head, and left quickly, but after walking out of the courtyard, he pouted: "If you train me if the young master trains you, you will bully people according to seniority!" ”

…………………………

Seeing that it was only a day's journey from Bei'an, but the wind and snow suddenly became bigger, Mengbao and his party had to stop again.

"How many times has this been?"

Meng Bao frowned and asked.

"It's the third time."

The red note flipped over the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin, and said with a breath of white air.

The wind and snow along the way were sometimes heavy and sometimes small, and they hurried and hurried, but they were always forced to stop and stay at the inn.

"Alright Miss, you can take off your cloak."

Seeing that there was already heat in the room, it was not as cold as when he first entered the door, and the red note said to Mengbao.

Meng Bao untied the cloak and handed it to her, walked to the window and pushed it open.

The cold wind poured in the flying cold snow particles, and the red note sighed, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss, the snow is so big, what kind of window do you open, there is no heat at all that I have saved up with great difficulty!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and closed the window.

Meng Bao smiled and stopped her hand to close the window.

"It's just that some of it was poured in when I first opened it, don't you think it's better now."

"It's cold, too, what if you freeze to death!"

Red Note said with his cheeks puffed out.

"It's okay, I'll take a look."

Mengbao looked into the distance with some distraction.

"That's Bei'an over there, right?"

She looked in one direction and muttered.

Hongjian nodded: "Well, but we're still far away now, and the wind and snow are heavy, so you can't see it." ”

Mengbao sighed, put his hands in his sleeve, and leaned against the window.

This hateful wind and snow caused her to be so late for so many days.

If it weren't for the fact that she started preparing to set off immediately after receiving the letter, I was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the end of the year.

There was a sound of cars and horses outside the window, and someone came in to escape the wind and snow.

The visitor dusted off the snow on the hood and said impatiently: "This old man is too hateful! Such a heavy snowstorm kills a person! How much business has Lao Tzu delayed! ”

"Alright, be content!"

Another person said: "We are still well fed, clothed and warm, and we are better than the little brother we met yesterday." ”

The person who spoke before sighed twice and nodded: "That's right, that little brother is too unlucky, he is so sick and is in a hurry to rush back to the city for treatment, but today is such a big snowstorm, I'm afraid I can't walk on the road......"

"Yes, I heard from the person who traveled with me that he was still a young talent who had just made meritorious contributions to the court, and the reward of the court has not come down yet, so people will not be able to do it first."

The person next to him chuckled: "You hear clearly!" ”

"I didn't want to listen carefully, but those people said that it was better to take the credit of that little brother on themselves than they knew, and they felt that it was too unkind, so they couldn't help but listen to a few more words."

"Hah! What if you listen more? Could it be that you can find out who that little brother is, and then tell that little brother's family to let his family vent their anger on the little brother? ”

"Hey! Don't say it! I heard that! Those people said that what kind of prince is that little brother, it seems to be ...... Last name Shen? ”

Bang dang.

There was a loud bang overhead, and the half-open window was violently pushed open.

"What did you say?"

Mengbao asked.

…………………………

The biting cold wind wrapped in cold snowflakes slapped on his face, and Mengbao's face was red from the cold, and his fingers on the saddle were already stiff.

Although Ah Man behind him tried his best to protect her with his body and wide cloak, he still couldn't resist the invasion of the cold wind.

Mulberry, who was riding in front, glanced back at them, opened his mouth to say something, but finally turned around and said nothing, and continued to gallop forward.

The red note stood at the door of the post station, looking at the figure that had long disappeared in the wind and snow, and his eyes were red.

"Mother, miss, she'll be fine, right?"

Mother Zhao stood beside her, also looking into the distance, and muttered: "The prince is fine, Miss is naturally fine, if the prince has something, ......."

She raised her head to look up at the sky in the face of the wind and snow, put her hands together on her chest, God bless, don't let Miss suffer anymore, God bless......
