Gonggong Li's eyes glanced at the back of Emperor Chu Yuan, lowered his voice, and said cautiously: "A saint is always a saint, how can anyone in this Southern Chu have the courage to disobey the emperor's order......"

"Li Defu, you are becoming more and more lonely."

Seeing that the anger between Emperor Chu Yuan's words dissipated a little, Gonggong Li's tense expression relaxed: "Slaves don't dare to coax saints." It's just this time, maybe something went wrong in the middle, if the saint sent someone to Huacheng to investigate, maybe this thing that can't be obtained in the dark can be obtained on the bright side. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Emperor Chu Yuan took the teacup he handed over and took a sip gently, "I heard that you have a maternal brother who is an official in the court?" ”

Gonggong Li's face paused slightly, smiled unnaturally, and replied, "Yes." The slave's cousin, Sun Qi, served as the right scholar in the court. ”

Emperor Chu Yuan nodded, took off the Panlong jade pendant on his waist, handed it to him, and explained: "After going down to the court, you will inform him privately and let him go to Huacheng for Gu......"

On the second day after Nanwu returned to leave the human settlement, Sun Qi had to order him to rush over.

Along the way, he didn't get off the saddle, he didn't stop, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he went straight to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Why are you here?

Naturally, it is because Huacheng is the fief of Song Huaijin, the Marquis of Pingyang. As the old saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and when you come to the realm of Huacheng, if you want to make the emperor beautiful, you naturally have to meet the master's house for a while.

Although Song Huaijin is a second-class marquis in an official residence, he is only four out of twenty. The Song family is thin, and he is the only one left in his life. Fortunately, he has some means, and he inherited the title at a young age, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion has seen that he has achieved outstanding status from the last breath to the present.

At this moment, in the flower hall, Song Huaijin sat upright, playing with a porcelain cup that had rained over the azure in his hand, and the tender green dragon well was floating in the cup, and the tea was fragrant. He took a sip slowly, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "Lord Sun came here this time, I'm afraid it's not just to visit Song, right?" ”

Sun Qi smiled awkwardly and arched his hand at him: "Let Hou Ye see and laugh, don't hide it from Hou Ye, Xia Guan does have tolerance." ”

"Oh?" Song Huaijin raised his eyebrows, full of interest, "Those who came to Huacheng on an errand, since Song took over the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Master Sun is still the first." ”

"Yes, yes, the Hou Ye has a good way to rule, this flower city is prosperous, and there has never been a need for saints to be distracted." Sun Qi smiled on his face, and cold sweat oozed from his back, "Xiaguan came this time, and he also came to visit and observe and learn from experience." ”

Song Huaijin listened, the corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled, but the smile was very cold, and it didn't spread to the bottom of his eyes at all.

Sun Qi was a little apprehensive in his heart, took two sips of tea, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Speaking of which, when Xia Guan entered the city, he heard some rumors, and he thought it was very interesting, so he wanted to inquire with Hou Ye......

"Lord Sun, please say, someone Song must know everything, and he must say everything."

Sun Qi didn't go around in circles, and went straight to the point: "I don't know if Master Hou has heard of a woman named Nanwu?" ”

A dark glint flashed in Song Huaijin's eyes, and he said quietly: "I've heard, when Lord Sun entered the city, he saw a carved building with four-corner cornices, right?" ”

Sun Qi nodded: "It seems to be called leaving the human habit?" ”

"Yes." Song Huaijin gently put the teacup on the table, "She is the owner there." ”
