Chapter 213: Shen Mansion
The identity of the regent of the Nine Domains is known only to a few people.
On weekdays, when the court entered the palace, the last nine domains covered their faces with a silver mask.
When Xuanyuan was dying, he once issued an edict saying that Xuanyuan Yin was the prince who was exiled when he was fighting everywhere in the early years.
Because of his talent for governing the world, he was specially appointed to assist the prince in governing the government.
Xuanyuan Yin wore a mask to go to court, which is also the meaning of Xuanyuan Zheng.
His identity as the young master of the Shura Palace did not want to be exposed to the court too early.
After all, Zhong Jiuchou is Shi Hanzhang's brother-in-law, and Shura Palace can be regarded as the confidence of the prince to sit on the throne.
However, if the foundation is unstable, let the minister and the other two princes know that the final nine domains are Xuanyuan Yin, I am afraid that the opposition will be overwhelming, which will be unfavorable to the prince.
Therefore, Zhong Jiuchou inherited the mask from the palace master of Shura Palace to keep his youngest son safe for the rest of his life.
Zhong Jiuchou rode a horse to chase Ran Shaotang, hoping to meet her on the way to Ran Mansion.
After Ran Shaotang came out of Huaishu Hutong, he did not return to Ran's mansion immediately.
She went to the Shen family in the city first.
Opposite the Shen Mansion is a lively street market, and the cold in winter can't stop the poor from making money.
Ran Shaotang picked a noodle restaurant and sat down, ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a pot of tea, and stared at the gate of the Shen Mansion while eating.
The Shen Mansion has always been very low-key in Gaoxi Kyoto.
After they returned to Kyoto from the border gates, they did not buy a new house, but repaired the old house and the family lived in it.
In the first life, after Ran Shaotang got married, he has been helping his mother-in-law take care of the middle feed in the backyard of Shen Mansion. Every grass and tree in the Shen Mansion, including the subordinates, is clear.
The Shen family has a strict family style, and Ran Wen once thought that he had chosen a good family for his daughter.
Ran Shaotang drank all the tea in the cup, and bitterness filled the tip of his tongue.
She didn't know what she was sitting here for.
After a lifetime, she should take revenge, and she has to start preparations.
Until the noodles were eaten, there was no movement at the gate of the Shen Mansion.
She put a piece of broken silver on the table, picked up the sword and was about to leave, a light horse came from a distance, stopped at the door of the Shen Mansion, a man in a black coat jumped off the horse briskly, and immediately someone opened the door from the inside and greeted him.
"Second son, you're back."
Ran Shaotang looked at the familiar back that could no longer be familiar, and infinite hatred welled up in his heart.
Shen Weiyong threw the horsewhip to his subordinates, hurriedly walked to the house, and asked as he walked, "Is the master at home?" ”
The man took the whip and stepped forward flatteringly: "No, the lord has an appointment with someone today and went out early." The second son is going out to play? ”
"you."
Shen Weiyong's figure disappeared into the door.
Ran Shaotang sat down again and waited for a pillar of incense? Shen Weiyong changed his clothes and came out again.
He didn't ride a horse this time? Instead, he got into a carriage.
Ran Shaotang looked at the thick hair on the top of his head, and he was unwilling.
Obviously I heard my little sister say that his hair is bald? Why did it grow again?
She thinks it's suspicious? got up and walked out of the noodle shop, got on the horse and chased after him.
The blood in her body was boiling.
There's always a voice that keeps reminding her? Urge her, your enemy is ahead? Kill him? Kill him, and you're done.
However, another voice is admonishing oneself before everything is clarified? Can't get your hands dirty.
Even if he's dead? There are also other people in the Shen family who are ready to move behind the scenes.
She didn't just want Shen Weiyong's dog life.
What she wants is the life of the Shen family.
Ran Shaotang slowly followed Shen Weiyong in this way, from the east city to the west city.
Isn't this the way to Ranfu?
What is Shen Weiyong doing in Ran Mansion now?
She was wondering when a horse galloped behind her.
She turned back alarmedly, just in time to see a stern and cold face on the horse's back.
The End of the Nine Domains?
I haven't seen you for many days, and the end of Jiuchou's face is slightly pale? The number of people has also been reduced.
She hesitated to recognize him at this time, but the final nine domains stopped next to her? He glanced at her and asked, "But Shaotang?" ”
Ran Shaotang heard him ask like this? Then he recognized it.
She glanced at him and reluctantly asked him, "How do you know it's me?" ”
Do you hear her voice? Are you sure you're not wrong? Rejoice immediately? The temperature in his eyes gradually warmed.
"The little guy in the house described your attire and the color of your mount. It's not hard to recognize. ”
Ran Shaotang also smiled and stretched out his hand to him: "Since you have found me, return the jade pendant to me." ”
Zhong Jiuchou touched his waist and sighed: "I forgot to take it." You can go back with me and get it. It's not like there's something to tell you, let's go back and talk about it. ”
Ran Shaotang helplessly glanced at the direction in which Shen Weiyong left, and his heart couldn't catch up now.
simply agreed to the end of the nine domains, and the two of them rode to the idle house.
Zhong Jiuchou looked at Ran Shaotang in surprise and asked, "Your face is not very good?" Is something wrong? Why did you suddenly come to Kyoto? ”
Ran Shaotang pursed his lips and smiled: "You can see that your face is not good when I am easy to look?" Don't be funny. I came to Kyoto because I missed my parents. ”
Zhong Jiuchou immediately turned his head to look at Ran Shaotang beside him, and felt that she was not telling the truth.
Since I miss my parents, I should go back to Ran Mansion as soon as possible.
Looking at her tired face and the unconcealable servant dust, she doesn't look like she's seen her parents.
So she came to find herself as soon as she arrived in Gaoxi?
"Shaotang, what's going on?"
Ran Shaotang looked around and looked at the sword on Zhong Jiuchou's body, which was still the one he had before.
He shook his head: "Go back and say." ”
When he arrived at the door of the idle house, the little guy saw Ran Shaotang at a glance, but he didn't expect to come back with his own young master.
He's a good deal.
I thought I was going to find tomorrow morning.
"Young master, are you back? This little boy is the one who came to you before. ”
Zhong Jiuchou threw the whip and reins to him: "Take care of the little boy's horse." Make up for it. ”
The little guy happily took it and nodded: "Understood, understood, little understood." I must feed the little boy's horse to be fat and strong. ”
Ran Shaotang looked at the attitude of the two of them before and after, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhong Jiuchou directly took Ran Shaotang to his courtyard, and the two sat down in the warm spring-like house, and Zhong Jiuchou asked her again.
"Tell me, tell me now."
Ran Shaotang sat in a warm environment, with the end of the nine domains by his side, and his heart gradually settled down.
She carefully explained the four guards she met on the road to Prince Nan Yunguo.
Before it was over, Ran Shaotang asked Zhong Jiuchou: "Did you really take that Longyuan sword?" ”
Zhong Jiuchou didn't expect that the crown prince of Nan Yunguo would be interested in a sword in the martial arts.
I didn't know that I would get into so much trouble by winning this sword.
It seems that this sword cannot be given to Shaotang at the moment.
Otherwise, it would have led trouble to her.
Zhong Jiuchou's eyebrows frowned slightly: "The Longyuan Sword is here." Didn't you kill all the guards of Prince Nam Yun? They probably won't come to me anytime soon. ”
Ran Shaotang blamed himself in a deep voice: "I accidentally let one go." ”
