With the disappearance of the comet, nothing happened, and Shouchun City was slowly recovering. In view of Duan Hong's performance in the past few days, Liu An felt that it was appropriate to let Su Ren come out for activities, since he was a person taken care of by His Majesty, it was impossible to say that he had been locked up for a long time. The number of soldiers at the gate of the courtyard was reduced from 300 to 50, and Su Ren was allowed to go out for a walk accompanied by Huainan people.

I haven't been out for a few days, and the streets are completely different from the original. The porridge shed that was built is still there, but there are far fewer people queuing up to receive the meal. Moreover, the number of beggars is also decreasing, and on weekdays there are all squatting along the eaves of the street, but today there are only a few dozen people who come out to see the past.

If you can come out, your mood will improve, Su Ren stood on the steps of the door and stretched, turned over and climbed onto the back of the white horse. He wanted to go to see the eldest prince Liu Buxian, but there was a tail sent by Liu An behind him, so it was not good to go to the eldest prince's mansion again.

With a clamp on the horse's belly, the white horse walked along the street with its hooves, and the crisp sound of hooves could be heard far away, attracting the sideways glances of everyone around him. During this time, the patrolling county soldiers and public servants were replaced by Liu An's private soldiers, and the people were extremely afraid of those guys, and they turned their heads to see if it was those people who were riding horses. While walking, he greeted the people around him, but unfortunately he didn't get any response, which made Su Ren very depressed.

Cuixiang Building has been basically completed, and the old dog is directing the guys to move things to the store, all of which are custom-made, tables, chairs, tableware, and even the candlesticks for lighting the lamps are not ready-made, and they are built by the craftsmen of Shouchun according to the drawings. Cuixianglou is the hero of the Shouchun turmoil, from the beginning of the construction of hundreds of people to live, and then there was a comet, when everyone chose to flee, Cuixianglou is still under construction, enough to feed more than 100 Shouchun people.

Touching the smooth back of the chair and the tabletop, Su Ren looked around. The old dog had been following behind Su Ren, his whole body was full of excitement, and he wanted to talk about the situation of those family members in Yongxingdu several times, but was interrupted by Su Ren's words. There is a tail behind him, which is not suitable for talking about Yongxingdu. The old dog was also excited, and after being interrupted by Su Ren a few times, he didn't mention it anymore and began to introduce Su Ren to the situation of Cuixiang Building.

From downstairs to upstairs, look at every room slowly, there is something wrong Su Ren pointed out, and the old dog immediately asked people to do what Su Ren said. The large room on the third floor can be described as magnificent, the huge chandelier is Su Ren's first creation, dozens of oil lamps are combined together, the room is illuminated transparently, coupled with the decoration of the cost, walking into the door is extravagant.

At lunch in Cuixiang Building, the blue wolf wrapped his head in a piece of cloth and wore a gray jacket, walking and talking no different from those vulgar women on the street. Today is the first time he is in charge as the head chef of the back kitchen, and it is Su Ren who is also entertaining, so he naturally has to start it himself and enter the room with the dishes.

Zuo Wu and Wu were very lucky by the two nominal ceremonial officials, the food had just been served, and Su Ren had not moved his chopsticks, and the two of them happened to come in from outside the door. Since Su Ren first came, these two people have shown their faces, and this is the second time they have taken the initiative to find Su Ren.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Su Ren laughed: "The two gentlemen have a good time, they can't come early or late, and now it's just right, the dishes have not yet been served, just taste the dishes of Shouchun Cuixianglou together." ”

Zuo Wu smiled: "Since this is the case, the two of us should be respectful and obey our fate." ”

"You're welcome."

With these two people to accompany him, this meal will be much more comfortable, otherwise it is better not to eat it if Su Ren is allowed to eat with Huang Shisan and Manniu. Zuo Wu looked excited, and praised the exquisiteness and taste of the dishes again and again, while Wu was silent with a straight face, and only ate the plate of tofu in front of him for a while.

Su Ren knew that there was something wrong with these two people, but he didn't speak, and whenever Zuo Wu turned the topic around, he diverted his words and didn't answer at all. Who let you cool me for so long, since you have the ability to be cold, then you have to have the ability to turn back. However, if you want to turn back, you have to pay some price, or you will have to put your face there?

Zuo Wu tried several times but was unsuccessful, and stretched out his leg and kicked Wu Shu. Wu was put down in the wine bottle, stood up and saluted Su Ren: "Mr. has been in Huainan for several months, please forgive me for my negligence, and I will apologize to Mr. here." ”

Su Ren smiled: "How dare you, the monarchs and ministers of Huainan Kingdom are very busy, it's not the right time for me to come, it's not too late to ask to see you after the New Year, I can wait." ”

"Mr. said with a smile," Zuo Wu hurriedly interjected: "This time we came here to ......"

"A few days is the day of the opening of my Cuixiang Building, then I will become a guest again, after today, the next time the two of you come will have to pay for it, although it is not very expensive, but you can't come every day, while I am happy today, the two of you feel that you have to eat something Although you open your mouth, as long as it is Cuixiang Building, I can take it out, hehe!"

Zuo Wu's words were interrupted again, he smiled awkwardly, sighed softly, and glanced at Wu Fu.

Wu was not smiling, and kept staring at Su Ren: "Mr. Su is not worried about the safety of the little boy?" ”

"Little boy? Healed of his injuries? When I was carried out of the Shizi Mansion, I saw that there was only one breath left, and it was only a few days before I saw it, Mr. Chun Yu is really a miracle doctor, and the medicine will get rid of the disease! ”

Wu was gritted his teeth: "The little boy went to Chang'an, don't say that Mr. Su doesn't know about this matter!" ”

"Smack!" Su Ren slapped his palm on the table, his face instantly darkened, and he glared at Wu Shu: "What?" Wu Zhonglang thinks I instigated the little boy to go to Chang'an? ”

"Humph!" Wu was snorted coldly: "Is it Mr. Su who knows best." ”

Su Ren gasped angrily and glared at Wu Shu: "It turns out that you two are here to ask for guilt today, since Wu Zhonglang thinks so, he sent someone to arrest me, why do you want to say such nonsense?" ”

Zuo Wu hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, forgive me, Wu Zhonglang just likes to talk nonsense, Mr. Don't worry about him." ”

"Humph!" Su Ren also snorted coldly: "I understand, you two were instructed by King Huainan, right?" There is no need to explain, you can tell the king of Huainan when you go back, just say that the little prince is Chang'an that I instigated, and I will sue Liu Qian for rebellion, if the king of Huainan wants to arrest me, you can send troops to come, rest assured that I will wait in Cuixiang Building, and I will not leave a single step. ”

As soon as he raised his hand, he stopped Zuo Wu from explaining again, and instructed Huang Shisan: "Send off guests, tell the guys downstairs that Zuo Zhonglang and Wu Zhonglang are not allowed to come to Cuixiang Building in the future, they are not welcome here, hum!" Then he turned around and left, not giving the two of them a chance to say more.

Zuo Wu was about to chase Su Ren, but was stopped in front of him by Huang Shisan. Holding the hilt of the sword in one hand, Zuo Wu's door-like body blocked Zuo Wu tightly: "Please!" Don't come in the future, lest something look bad! ”

Zuo Wu called out to Su Ren and the others, but Su Ren ignored them. Soon there were two people left in the room, Zuo Wu and Wu Bei, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect Su Ren to be so tough, they didn't know how to say it.

When he came to the backyard, the blue wolf prepared a table of banquets again, Liu Kui was sitting at the table drinking, and when he saw Su Ren coming in, he smiled: "I knew that Mr. would not stay for long, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, it seems that the conversation is not good." ”

Su Ren smiled and nodded: "It's not good, Liu An instructed Liu Qian to beat Liu Jian, and now Liu Jian ran to Chang'an, he was worried about what Liu Jian would say, and wanted to lead this matter to me, so he sent two people to trick me and let me scold." ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Kui laughed: "Speaking of Liu An and his father Liu Chang, the two generations of Huainan kings are only ambitious, but they are talented, just this one thing I think he can't rebel if he wants to." ”

"Yes! When Liu Chang's rebellion was rejected, this Liu An will follow in his footsteps sooner or later! Su Ren drank a glass of wine: "But this Liu Jian is really childish, he really went to Chang'an, and he is not afraid that Liu An will do something to him halfway." ”

"Sir, don't say that Liu Jian is left and right without your protection?"

"There really isn't anyone with me! This matter was arranged by Duan Hong, and I only found out last night, thinking about it now, Liu Jian is about to leave Huainan. ”

"Duan Hong?"

"Hmmm! This Duan Hong is really not as loyal as the rumors say, he is accurate and ruthless in doing things, and he choked Liu An's life at once, as long as Liu Jian arrives in Chang'an, even if he doesn't say anything, Liu An will be afraid, this person has not left Huainan yet, Liu An himself can't sit still first. ”

Liu Kui put away his playful mentality, sat up straight, and put down the wine glass in his hand: "This is the plan that Mr. planned with Duan Hong at the beginning?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "I just handed over to Duan Hong a letter that Liu Jian sent to me before he was arrested, it was all about chasing after the wind and shadows, and it was not of much use, I didn't expect this Duan Hong to be able to say that Liu Jian went to Chang'an in person, and I don't know how it was done, I haven't heard that Duan Hong and Liu Jian have been in contact." ”

"Liu is not harmful?"

Su Ren said with a smile: "This is also where Duan Hong is clever, as soon as Liu Jian leaves, Liu An will not dare to harm Liu Bu even more?" He was also worried that Liu Jian was talking nonsense. ”

Liu Kui thought about it, nodded and said: "It's really a good strategy, not only to protect himself but also to protect Liu Buharm, and to make the King of Huainan dare not come nonsense, it can be described as a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone, Mr. said this, I want to meet this Duan Hong, people who can have such wisdom are by no means ordinary people." ”

"I'm afraid it's not okay to meet, don't talk about your identity, in the current situation, Liu An accompanies Duan Hong to visit all day long, as long as you show up, you will be discovered immediately, it is better for An Ansheng to accompany me to drink."

The two picked up the wine bottle and touched a glass. I didn't eat or drink much upstairs just now, but now Su Ren can let go. The two of them pushed cups and changed lamps in the backyard of Cuixiang Building, eating from noon to the treetops of the moon. The north wind was cold together, and Su Ren walked back drunk. Walking out of Cuixiang Building, Zuo Wu and Wu were still standing outside the door of Cuixiang Building.

Su Ren smiled and said, "What? The two of you are still not dead? If you think I'm guilty of something, you can arrest me now, and then let Liu Qian be locked up in the prison of the Shizi Mansion and beaten up. ”
