Dong Zhongshu is finally leaving, not to go to the vassal state in the south to be the minister of state, but to return to Chang'an. I don't know what went wrong with the imperial court, maybe His Majesty persuaded the Empress Dowager, in short, Dong Zhongshu's fate changed from this moment. Dong Zhongshu in history has been regarded as a court eagle dog who guards the princes and kings all his life, and uses his identity as a Confucian to suppress the princes and kings, and this time he wants to return to Chang'an.

The Wen Party brought a group of officials to see him off, and the scene was not very lively but not sluggish. In the pavilion outside the city, Su Ren was called in.

After carefully looking at Su Ren back and forth for a long time, Dong Zhongshu said, "Does Captain Su have any intention of going to Chang'an?" ”

Su Ren smiled and shook his head: "The kid is only a shallow learner, not as good as an angel, and now he is a captain of Shu County, and he can't leave his duties without permission, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely go to Chang'an to visit Mr." ”

"I can't help it!" This is Dong Zhongshu's last evaluation of Su Ren, although it has a strong sense of color, and saying it will make others misunderstand, but Dong Zhongshu still said it, and he said it in the tone of the elders to the juniors: "Hey! Don't bully others! ”

Su Ren smiled and nodded: "The kid wrote it down!" ”

The two of them are like dumb riddles, some people can't understand it, and some people can understand it. Wen Dang laughed: "Mr. Dong, don't worry, with me, I promise that there will be no problems!" ”

Compared with the pomp and circumstance, Dong Zhongshu walked very cleanly. Although it is still the hundreds of guards of the Royal Forest Army, it lacks pennants and honor guards. A carriage was hugged by the Imperial Guards, and if you don't know, you still think that you are escorting some important criminal.

Standing at the crossing, looking at Dong Zhongshu's convoy leaving a cloud of smoke and dust, Wen Dang turned around and asked everyone to go back to the city, and beckoned Su Ren to his carriage. Seeing that summer is about to begin, the temperature in Shu rises rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, winter clothes cannot be worn on the body. Sitting in the carriage was a little stuffy, so Su Ren opened the curtain and poked his head out like a dog to breathe.

"Teacher, is there anything you can say now?"

Wen Dang smiled and shook his head: "Ziheng really didn't waste time, I was going to let you go back to the house with me, since you asked, I will ask you, what do you think is the reason for Dong Zhongshu's return to Beijing this time?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "How do I know about this kind of thing?" Chang'an is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for any news to reach Shuzhong so quickly! ”

Wen Dang looked at Su Ren: "You really don't know? ”

"I don't know!"

"Hey!" Wen Dang sighed: "Ziheng doesn't say it, it seems that Dong Zhongshu's evaluation of you is correct, I can't help it, but there is one thing you better not mess around, I heard that Miss Dong Qian has moved into your house, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Hehe, the teacher is really meticulous!"

"It is not a glorious thing for an unmarried girl to stay in a young man's house, and Ziheng, you are now a celebrity in Shu County, and your every move will become the focus of everyone's attention, don't come nonsense!"

Su Ren smiled: "I'm nonsense? The teacher thinks too highly of me, so I have to be able to beat people! ”

"Hahaha......" Wen Dang smiled and leaned back: "I'm relieved when I say this, so good, very good!" ”

Along the way, Su Ren resolutely denied that he had anything to do with Chang'an. Wen Dang was in a hurry, so he turned the topic to Dong Qian. As soon as he arrived at the bell tower, Su Ren asked the coachman to stop, turned around and jumped out, no matter how Wen Dang shouted, Su Ren ran away without looking back.

Returning home as if fleeing, Su Ren breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wen Dang's question was not very urgent, if he pressed him as a teacher, Su Ren really didn't dare to guarantee that he would not leak his mouth. Ah Xun, who was sent to Chang'an, has successfully gained a foothold in Chang'an, and he can't say that he knows everything about the affairs in the court, at least some of Su Ren is still very clear.

For example, this time Dong Zhongshu suddenly changed his original plan to return to Beijing, which actually has something to do with the Empress Dowager. Since the beginning of the year, the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill, and after many diagnoses and treatments, her health was better, but her eyes were blind. Emperor Liu Che seemed to see some hope, so he began to gather his men and horses to make some preparations for the seizure of power. According to the trend of history, Liu Che will definitely end up in failure this time, so he doesn't want to get involved.

Dong Qian's eyes were red, and she was waiting for him in the lobby. As soon as Su Ren entered the door, Dong Qian rushed up and asked, "Can my father leave with peace of mind?" ”

Su Ren nodded: "Father-in-law is very relieved, he is absolutely relieved to have me take care of you!" ”

Dong Qian's face turned red, and her eyebrows rose: "Who is your father-in-law!" ”

"Hahaha......" Su Ren laughed and turned around and ran, he didn't dare to stay with this violent woman, if he didn't make it, his bones would break.

Dong Qian shouted at Su Ren's back: "I ran this time and next time, hum!" Don't forget what you promised me! ”

"Can't forget! Leave in a few days! ”

After sending Dong Zhongshu away, things in Shu County returned to the original track. After the mountain bandits in Chengdu were exterminated, the other mountain bandits in Shu County have become frightened birds, as long as the army is stationed at the foot of the mountain, they have opened the door of the village to welcome the raid. What's more, he did everything possible to contact Tang Meng, wanting to exchange surrender for his greatest interests. Tang Meng was worried that the soldiers of the county soldiers were not found, and since someone sent them, he was naturally very happy.

As a result, the soldiers of Shu County never had the opportunity to fight again, and Su Ren did not have the conditions to make a windfall. With nothing to do, Su Ren stayed in the barracks for more than ten days, and after arranging everything, the matter promised to Dong Qian was put on the agenda.

Leng Jun and Leng Yue found Su Ren, and Su Ren naturally knew what the two of them were thinking. This time, Leng Jun was very shy, but Leng Yue went straight to the point: "Big brother, can you take us with you to Mount Emei this time?" ”

Su Ren didn't answer Leng Yue's words, and turned his head to look at Leng Jun: "Are you going to go too?" Are you going to take Twelve Niang and your daughter? ”

Just two months ago, Twelve Niang gave birth to a daughter for Leng Jun. At the same time, Su Kai's wife Thirteen Niang also gave birth to a daughter to Su Kai, and the two children fell to the ground, which made the Su Mansion, which was full of adults, happy for a long time. Many people asked Su Ren to find Leng Jun and Su Kai to propose marriage to their son Su Jian, so Su Ren took out a few thousand dollars from Leng Yue's hand with a stroke of his pen, bought some gifts and went to Leng Jun and Su Kai.

No one knew whether the matter had been completed or not, and the three of them had never mentioned it again since they came out of the room, but judging from the expressions of several people, it seemed that the conversation did not go well.

Leng Jun nodded: "Not only do I want to bring Twelve Niang and my daughter, but this time I will also go back to Laojunguan to ask the master to go with me!" ”

Su Ren nodded: "That's good, the family is reunited, even if it doesn't look at the face of the Taoist, it will also look at the child's face, it's okay, but this time it's a long journey, can the twelve mothers and the child afford it?" ”

"I've already thought about it, I'll take care of a few people, and I won't let them take a step along the way and won't be affected by the wind!"

"Just think about it! Then hurry up and pack up! ”

Su Ren never showed a smile, nor did he glance at Leng Yue. Leng Yue lowered her head, followed Leng Jun out of the house without saying a word, and when she turned around and closed the door, she glanced at Su Ren again, but Su Ren lowered her head and didn't know what she was doing.

As soon as Leng Jun and Leng Yue left, Dong Qian came again. Looking back at the backs of the two, he shook his head at Su Ren and said, "Why are you so mean to Leng Yue?" ”

Su Ren didn't look up: "Go pack your things, we are going to leave tomorrow, don't talk too much about other things!" ”

"Humph! You don't want to marry Leng Yue, do you? Am I the kind of person who fights for the wind? ”

Su Ren turned his head to look at Dong Qian: "Why do you sound weird to me?" Could it be that you are ready to be the mistress of this Su Mansion? ”

", talk to you well, you can't be serious?"

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "The matter of Green Yi is without my knowledge, so far I feel sorry for Green Yi, but Leng Yue is different, I have always regarded Leng Yue as my sister, I have never had any other thoughts, Leng Yue is only fifteen or sixteen years old, it is too early to say these things at this time, if I meet someone he likes in the future, I will marry him in style!" ”

"You! I really don't understand women! Throwing down these words, Dong Qian turned around and left, leaving Su Ren alone in the room.

This time I went to Mount Emei, there were not too many people, except for Su Ren, Dong Qian, Leng Jun, and Leng Yue, Su Ren didn't plan to take anyone. One is that everyone else has something to do, and the other is that this time under the banner of visiting a hermit, it is not good to have too many people. Among the guards, there was only a ten-person team led by Huang Shisan, with Dong Qian and Leng Jun there, even if there were bandits robbing the road, Su Ren was not afraid.

After saying hello to Wen Dang and Tang Meng, Su Ren threw down his army and prepared to set off. The day chosen was to see the yellow calendar, although Su Ren didn't believe much in it, but he did it according to tradition. chose an auspicious day of the zodiac when everything went well, and took his family out of Chengdu City. No one knows what the result will be this time, whether they can meet the legendary exterminator, and everyone is silent along the way.

Su Ren rode a white horse and walked in the front, Leng Jun and Huang Shisan followed, several female dependents and children were sitting in one carriage, and gifts were pulled in the other carriage. It includes not only gifts for the exterminator, but also things for those acquaintances of Onsui and Wonsan. This time, Su Ren returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and he couldn't say that he had no gifts when he saw an acquaintance.

According to Su Ren's plan, instead of going directly to Mount Emei, he made a detour to Yuanshan. Because he also has another task, which is to send the newly appointed Yuanshan County Chenghe military candidate to his post. Yuanshan is a special place, only Su Ren can suppress it, if there is no Su Ren's approval, the officials of Shu County can figure it out with their toes, what will happen to the people they sent.

Zhang Dequan is a ruin this time and is ready to start again. Originally, with his connections in Shu County, it was not difficult to keep the position of deputy general, but he chose a more difficult path. Looking back at Chengdu City, which was gradually moving away, Zhang Dequan sighed softly and ordered the servants who followed him to go faster.
