It took more than half a month to go up the Yangtze River, and finally arrived in Jiangling. As the state governor of Jingzhou, Jiangling's popularity has always been very good, of course, what makes it famous for thousands of years is Li Bai's sentence "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day".

Jiangling is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south, Hanshui in the north, Bashu in the west, Jiangyue in the south, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, when entering the city, the inspection and body search are ten times more severe than elsewhere, the soldiers who defend the city have resolute eyes, exude indescribable courage, and should have been on the battlefield to kill the existence of people.

Zong Yu presented the plaque of the Linchuan Palace, and the guards did not dare to slack off, so they immediately reported to the city gate official, and then the city gate official arranged a special person to escort them and send them directly to the palace.

Jiangxia King An Xiuruo has the history of Jingzhou Thorn, opened the palace with three divisions, and set up his own staff in the palace, just like a small court. The house occupies an extremely wide area, more magnificent than the Linchuan Palace, with a martial arts field and a training lake, surrounded by dozens of arrow pavilions, luxurious and full of Xiao killing. Xu You was led to the courtyard in the middle by the armor-clad tribe and met Yan Wan, who was said to be more like a butcher than a butcher. Rumors are always exaggerated, although Yan Wan is not a beautiful man, but she is by no means a market butcher with a full face. The temperament of people is innate, and the second is nurture, Yan Wan has both, although the appearance is vulgar, but the eyes are sharp and the demeanor is pleasant, and she is by no means an idle person.

"His Royal Highness the Sixth sent you here, do you have a letter to back it up?"

This tone is full of condescending arrogance, and he doesn't take Xu You in his eyes, the implication is that you give me the letter, I will pass it on for you, and then you can return to Linchuan to resume your life.

"There is indeed a letter asking me to forward it to the Third Highness, but the original words of the Sixth Highness are that I want to submit it in person, and I also ask to join the army to be accommodating......"

Yan Wan interrupted him impatiently and said, "Your Royal Highness is busy with military affairs and has no time to see you, just write to me!" If it is for the sake of reward, I am the master, and I will reward you with eight horses of Shu brocade, you should be content! ”

Xu You had a conscious self-spitting face, a smile hung on the corner of his lips, and said, "I didn't come here for reward......

Yan Wan's face sank, and she said, "Come on, send off guests!" ”

Before Xu You could get angry, Zuoqiu Sijin couldn't help it, and said angrily: "I came from Jiangzhou to discuss matters. Joining the army and directly rejecting it without asking for reasons is too domineering and too unkind, and it will reach the ears of the Third Highness in the future, saying that you are separated from brothers, I am afraid that joining the army will not be able to get benefits! ”

Xu You knew that today's meeting was over, and it was pointless to stay any longer, and it would make the situation further out of control, so he shook his head at Zuoqiu Sijin, and then apologized to Yan Wan, who was pale, and left the palace in a hurry.

Blown by the cold wind of winter, Zuoqiu Sijin was much more sober, and she suddenly became angry for some reason. It is said that with her experience, she will not be so unbreathable, Yan Wan has made it clear that she is making things difficult for everyone, the more she has to deal with it carefully, this time her mouth is refreshing, but she completely offended him and missed a big event, how to explain to Brother Linchuan Wang?

"I ...... It's all my fault, Lang Jun punish me! ”

Xu You smiled slightly: "That Yan joins the army with a high spirit, I can't wait to smash him on the head with a punch, you are angry for me, what is the crime?" ”

Zuoqiu Sijin lowered his head and was silent, thinking that he still had to beat others with your body, and it would be good not to be beaten by others. However, he defended himself so much, and there was a bit of a strange emotion in his heart.

Qingming asked, "Lang Jun, what should I do next?" ”

"First of all, we have to find out why Yan Wan refused to allow King Jiangxia to meet with us, but don't worry, find a place to stay, and slowly find out the news!"

Jiangling City is located in the Yangtze River Basin, there are many adverse trips in the city, Xu You and others casually found a store that looked clean and tidy to live, and Qingming whispered a few words, Qingming changed his clothes and left quietly. Zuoqiu Sijin had doubts in his heart when he saw it, knocked on Xu You's door, and asked, "What about Qingming?" ”

"He's going to see a few friends, you go back to your room to rest, and we'll go downstairs to eat something later!"

Zuoqiu Sijin immediately understood that Xu You had a dark line in Jiangling City, and cleverly continued to ask Qingming who to find to connect, but walked in and said, "Qingming is not here, and there is no one to guard Lang Jun." ”

Xu You can't say that it's no problem for me to beat you dozens like this, let alone say that men and women don't kiss each other, you go to change Zong Yu over, that's too deliberate and you fall behind, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's troublesome girl!" ”

Saying that, he naturally untied his belt, took off his heavy and wide robe, revealing the slender and upright figure inside, although wrapped in a white shirt, he still couldn't hide the masculine lines full of vitality, not the simple stout of Kong Wu's strength, but as if standing on the top of a high mountain, overlooking the great beauty of the world where the river flows eastward, it is extremely mysterious, and it can be described in words.

Women look at men, no different from men look at women!

Zuoqiu Sijin turned his head away, thinking that Xu You, who looked weak in the past, gave people the feeling that he was not weaker than those who practiced martial arts at this time.

There was already hot water prepared by the waiter in the room, Xu You cleaned his hands and face, and was just about to turn around to get a towel, Zuoqiu Sijin stood behind her and handed it over, she hesitated for a while, her eyes flashed a little shy, her eyes did not dare to look at Xu You, and said: "I am careless, if Langjun does not give up, I ...... Come and wait for Lang Jun to change clothes......"

She is not from a famous family, but she is also an absolute lady, since her father's death, the family has fallen into the middle, but she was immediately regarded as a righteous sister by An Xiulin, and the degree of food and clothing is in accordance with the practice of the princess, and it is estimated that she has never done the work of serving people.

Xu You took the towel and thanked him, and said while wiping his face: "Don't dare to bother the girl, in fact, I never had a maid by my side when I was in Qiantang, washing and changing clothes is just a trivial matter, and I don't need others to serve me." Girls can treat me as a companion who walks the rivers and lakes, above the rivers and lakes, when I am tired, I fall asleep, and when I am thirsty, I can drink on the ground, not so much exquisite! ”

This is a bit pretending, Xu You has the autumn equinox, the frost, and Yu Su to take care of the living, although it is not like those children of the family who are completely clothed to reach out for food and open their mouths, and the maids around him are all double-digit extravagance, but occasionally they will wait to change their clothes or something - after all, the clothes of this era are really not easy to wear, but it is not that he said that there has never been a maid.

This is just to avoid the embarrassment of Zuoqiu Sijin, people are kind enough to help when they see that Qingming is not there, Xu You will not think of crookedness because of this, and he will not use this to make himself bored.

Zuoqiu Sijin smiled and retreated to the side without saying a word. She followed her father and King Linchuan and saw too many children of the family, and because of this, the maverick Xu You was refreshing.

Qingming didn't go out for too long, and before the three of them had just eaten and went upstairs, he appeared in the reverse journey, walked over and said to Xu You; "Guo Mian is far away from the decision-making level of King Jiangxia, and his mansion is now ...... west of the city."

Xu You nodded, looked at the hour, and called the waiter to give Qingming a famous local delicacy, especially Jiangling fish cakes, listening to the clear voice of the little lady singing in the hall, and sat leisurely until the sunset, and instructed Zuoqiu Sijin and Zong Yu to rest in the reverse journey, and the two of them went out with Qingming.

Guo's mansion is only three in size, and the furnishings are simple, which is completely different from the swagger in Qiantang. After Xu You announced his name, Guo Mian soon greeted him, and after not seeing each other for so many years, the identities and status of the two have undergone earth-shaking changes. Guo Mian is no longer the spokesperson of the high-ranking Jiangxia King, and Xu You is no longer a broken son who steals his life, fate will joke many times, although this joke is not so funny.

"Shichiro!"

"Guo Gong!"

Guo Mian is much older, and more than two months ago, he saw that the situation was not good, and retreated from Jinling ahead of schedule. From a strategic point of view, let the king of Jiangxia stay out of the matter, no matter who wins or loses the emperor and the crown prince, the king of Jiangxia can attack and retreat, and give enough room to move; From a tactical point of view, the effective force was preserved, and the intelligence network that had been painstakingly built was not trapped in the desperate situation that swallowed everything in Jinling, saving cost and time for future development.

No matter how you look at it, Guo Mian should have no faults, but how can the world be so simple? The opponents of Jiangxia Wangfu seized the opportunity, led by Yan Wan, and attacked him for being greedy for life and afraid of death, not discovering the hidden strength of the prince, not preventing the changes that happened in Jinling, and even blaming him for not saving the old emperor - this is really a crime to add!

The situation at that time, even the gods could not do anything, not to mention that Guo Mian was only an intelligence chief, and he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, so what could he do to save the emperor?

Yan Wan understands this truth, but the grievances and grievances between him and Guo Mian have lasted for too many years, and he finally seized the opportunity, where is he willing to let him pass easily? Day and night, he mobilized the royal palace subordinates to blow ecstasy soup to the king of Jiangxia, at first the king of Jiangxia laughed at it, but after An Xiuming ascended the throne, he seemed to slowly sit on the throne, and his mentality changed completely, and he also felt that Guo Mian was derelict in his duties, and ordered to be deprived of all his duties, and only rewarded 100,000 yuan, which was sent to an ordinary mansion in the west of the city, so that he was left to fend for himself.

This is still the side of the affection of King Jiangxia who has been thinking about his master and servant for many years, and according to Yan Wan's meaning, he must at least put Guo Mian in prison and torture him to relieve his anger.

In just over ten days in the west of the city, Guo Mian has turned white by nearly half, and his rich body has lost more than 20 pounds.

"Guo Gong!" Xu You showed an unbearable look in his eyes, and said: "Even if you are temporarily wronged, you must take care of your body, and don't suffer from collapse." ”

Since Xu You came to the door, the infighting in the palace couldn't hide it from him, Guo Mian smiled bitterly: "It's okay, now I'm eating and sleeping well, don't say anything else, it should be no problem to live for ten more years." He looked at Xu You and said with emotion: "When I first saw Qilang in Mingyu Mountain, I knew that this was the dragon and phoenix among people, but I didn't expect that it was only a few years, I was trapped in Jiangling for the rest of my life, and you are already known to women and children all over the world......"
