Pei Ciwu hurried all the way, and finally entered the city before dark. But when he saw the dense figures crowding the city gate like an impenetrable human wall, he was stunned on the spot, a little unable to come back to his senses.

At that time, the twilight was sinking in the west, and the darkness gradually covered the sky.

"Master Pei," the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took a step forward, arched his hand to Pei Ci who was sitting on the horse, and said with a smile: "The old minister has been waiting for your lord here for a long time in accordance with His Majesty's will,"

"Lord Shangshu is polite." Seeing this, Pei Ci hurriedly bowed politely to the Ministry of Rites, and then turned his eyes to look at the thousands of city defense troops standing behind him, and wondered: "This is?" ”

"Oh." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu staggered slightly, turned his head to look at the five thousand city defense troops, and explained to Pei Ciwei: "Your Majesty heard that Lord Pei returned to the city today, and he was happy for a while, so he ordered me to bring five thousand city defense troops here to wait for your lord to enter the city. ”

Pei Ci frowned worriedly, "Your Majesty's move is also a big fuss. With that, he put his legs between the horse's belly and said, "In that case, then let's go into the city first." ”

"Okay." The Ministry of Rites is too old to ride a horse. Hearing this, he immediately waved his hand at the five thousand city defenders behind him, and saw that the thick human wall in front of him suddenly separated from the middle, and instantly gave way to a wide road.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu then climbed into the carriage and was about to order everyone to set off, but when he saw Pei Ciwu still sitting on the horse frowning, he couldn't help but say, "Master Pei, please." ”

Pei Ci glanced at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and didn't snort, then turned his head to look at the two people behind him, and said softly: "Let's go." ”

The two nodded, then followed with their horses, and entered the city with Pei Ciwei.

Only then did the Ministry of Rites Shangshu find out that Pei Ciwu was followed by two people who were riding horses with him. He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and looked at the two people who were riding horses and walking beside Pei Ciwei with the last light in the sky. I saw that one of them was dressed in gold and was eye-catching, and it seemed that he was wrapped in golden light from head to toe, and even in this dark night, he could not hide the dazzling golden light of his body. The other person was dressed in black, his face was tense, and the cold aura around him was not inferior to the gold-clothed man beside him.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't help but be curious for a while, thinking that he hadn't heard of any teahouse recently that these two people had appeared in the country, how could this person have entered the capital, but he didn't even find any signs of gossip!

Pei Ciwei originally thought that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally led people to welcome him into the city at the gate of the city, and this pomp was already big enough. However, when he entered the city, he was surprised that it was behind.

I saw that on the road leading to the palace, the people of the capital greeted each other, densely crowded the entire street, with awe of him in their eyes, and the cheers of joy were enough to burst his eardrums.

"I didn't expect you to be quite popular in this capital." Yu Wushuang smiled and came to Pei Ci's side and teased.

"Really?" Pei Ciwu hooked his lips slightly, as if he didn't take Yu Wushuang's ridicule to heart.

"Isn't it?" Yu Wushuang raised his eyebrows to look at him, and the luxury of his whole body instantly made him the most high-profile person on the entire street.

"Maybe." Pei Ciwei did not give a correct answer to this.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was left far behind by the three of them, but he was not in a hurry, because there were also 5,000 city defense troops following behind him. However, the speed of the city defense army was obviously faster than the speed of the coachman, and after a while, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw the city defense army walking side by side with the carriage through the gap in the curtain of the carriage that was swept up by the wind.

"Hurry up." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was inevitably a little anxious, thinking that from the time he came out of the palace to the present, it would have been two hours, and he didn't know if those ministers in the court would deliberately make trouble and provoke Su Yitong after knowing that Su Yitong had such a big pomp and circumstance to welcome Pei into the city.

Thinking like this, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't help but tell the coachman to speed up, and hurriedly caught up with Pei Ciwu and the three of them in front.

By this time, it was already dark, and many houses in the city were lit up one after another.

Pei Ci worried, Yu Wushuang, and Ying Ba and the three of them enjoyed the scenery of the city while walking, but they did not deliberately speed up the hurry, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu followed behind the three of them without urging, yes, when a large group of people arrived at the gate of the palace, the crescent moon in the sky had already risen to the middle.

At that time, Su Yitong led hundreds of civil and military officials to also wait at the gate of the palace, waiting to answer Pei's worries.

"Wechen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live......"

From a long distance, Pei Ciwu saw Su Yitong, who was pacing back and forth at the gate of the palace, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Seeing this, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked to Su Yitong's side in a few steps, knelt down and bowed to her, showing respect.

"Aiqing has worked hard, how can he be so polite, quickly calm ......down" Su Yitong helped him up with a smile, and when he saw Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites getting off the carriage, he couldn't help but hook his lips, and said politely with a smile: "Lord Shangshu has worked hard this time." ”

"It's not hard." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's body was not yet steady, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly saluted and replied painlessly.

"I have ordered someone to set up a banquet in the Jardine Palace to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Pei Aiqing." Su Yitong affectionately pulled the corner of Pei Ci's sleeve robe, glanced at him in a corner that everyone couldn't see, and then turned to everyone for a moment of confusion: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's go." ”

A thin layer of faint moonlight fell to the ground, the palace people carried lanterns to lead the way in front, Su Yitong pulled Pei Ciwei to walk in front of everyone, behaving intimately, as if they had been friends for many years, everyone saw that the two of them sometimes exchanged heads and ears, and sometimes chuckled, but no one heard what they were talking about.

Yu Wushuang followed behind everyone boredly, seeing that his arrival did not attract Su Yitong's attention, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sad!" ”

Kagehachi seemed to have long been immune to his self-pitying acting skills, and only glanced at him lightly when he heard this, and then said nonchalantly: "I have completed the task of escorting you back to the city, and I will leave." ”

After speaking, his figure flashed, and in an instant, he disappeared into the night and disappeared without a trace.

Yu Wushuang's outstretched hand grabbed the air, "This son still hasn't asked you!" You're in a hurry to be reincarnated, you ......"

However, no one responded.

In the Jardine Palace, the palace people are busy coming in and out, but the empty hall in the past is filled with no less than 100 beds today. Shen Rufeng and Fang Jing walked side by side, it was rare to see Su Yitong show such a look, so he couldn't help but look at Liuli, who was not right with the two of them, and asked, "Prime Minister does you know who this person is?" ”

"Haven't the two adults heard of Master Pei?" Ruri stopped and looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

Shen Rufeng, Fang Jing shook his head in unison.

"The two adults are new to the court, and it is normal that they have not heard of Lord Pei's affairs." Liuli couldn't help but laugh, and her narrowed eyes couldn't help but look at Su Yitong's plain hand holding Pei Ci's sleeve robe.

Shen Rufeng thought that Liuli would tell the reason, so he waited in place for a while, but seeing that he didn't mean to speak, he had no choice but to give up and pull Fang Jing to turn around and enter the seat.

Liuli pulled the corners of his lips far-fetchedly, walked in and was about to sit down, when he saw Su Yitong suddenly beckoning to him, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be flashing with excitement, he couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't expect Su Yitong to call himself forward at this time.

For a moment, the eyes of the Chinese martial arts officials of the palace fell on him, Liuli couldn't, couldn't help sighing, walked up to Su Yitong, arched his hand towards her, and called softly: "Your Majesty." ”

"The prime minister sits here." Su Yitong patted the vacant seat on his right, looked at Liuli and smiled.

"That's not right......" Ruri hesitated.

"There's something wrong." Su Yitong waved her hand indifferently, dragged him to the vacant seat, and then pointed to Pei Ci, who was sitting on her left, and said, "Look, isn't Pei Aiqing sitting very well?"

However, as soon as Liuli's gaze fell on Pei Ciwei's body, the look on his face instantly turned cold. I don't know if Su Yitong was intentional or unintentional, she actually arranged Pei Ciwei on her left side. Doesn't she know that if there are left and right prime ministers in the court, the rights of the left minister are far above the right minister? Still is......

The light of the glass eyes gradually deepened, and the narrowed eyes seemed to have a cold glow. Could it be that Su Yitong wants to put Pei Ci worry in the position of left minister?

As soon as this idea came out, Liuli shook her head vigorously, as if she didn't want to believe that Su Yitong would do things so decisively.

However, before he could calm his mind, he heard Su Yitong's brisk voice suddenly sound in the hall, as if with a magic power that would penetrate people's hearts, and the hall was instantly silent.

"Pei Aiqing's hard work in managing the flood in Bianzhou and the drought in Luoyi this time is to save the people from fire and water, and the hard work is high, which is really a great achievement......

Really...... A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and what Su Yitong said behind him was no longer audible, as if he could only see Su Yitong's red lips that kept opening and closing, and his vision gradually blurred.

"Yo! Isn't this Brother Liuli," just when Liuli was stunned, a sound of laughter that seemed to be heard suddenly came from one side. He subconsciously turned his head sideways, and saw Yu Wushuang, who was smiling brightly, moved a couch out of nowhere, squeezed him out shamelessly, and sat down next to Su Yitong.

The corners of Ruri's mouth twitched, "Why are you here?" ”

"Naturally, I came with him." Yu Wushuang's chin was raised, and his eyes fell on Pei Ci's worried body. "It's you, the prime minister of a country, how can you be crushed by that guy from him."

Yu Wushuang said, and couldn't help but reach out and pull Su Yitong's sleeve robe. However, Su Yitong was so busy talking that he didn't notice him at all, yes, Yu Wushuang pulled a few times, and he didn't see Su Yitong looking at him sideways.

"Brother Su has changed." Yu Wushuang muttered dissatisfiedly, then looked at Liuli and asked, "Brother Su, shouldn't you have lovesickness because that pervert of Feng Feiyi has been away for too long?" So......" He seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked at Liuli's eyes with a hint of disbelief. Widening her eyes and shocked, she said: "Should she empathize and don't fall in love in order to relieve the pain of lovesickness, and mess with flowers and grass everywhere?" ”
