"Ah Yi, you know that I am hiding from the county lord of the Chu clan, why did you still assign me to send the prince of the Chu clan out of the city?" Su Yan walked on the palace road with Dongling Yi and complained.

Dongling Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You misunderstand me, obviously it is the meaning of my father, I just mentioned it according to his intentions, not to mention that the meaning of my father is already very obvious, do you think there are still others who dare to take this errand to send the son?" ”

Hearing this, Su Yan had nothing to say, and the emperor really tried his best to arrange a chance for himself to get along with the county lord.

"Ayan, Zuo is just to say goodbye to that son, you can escort the county lord back again, she sits in the carriage in a good manner, and you don't want you to be alone with her, you just go through the motions." Tangling Yi had to pat him on the shoulder, he didn't understand why Su Yan was so resistant.

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Three days later, the prince of the Chu tribe returned to the Chu department, and the county lord of the Chu tribe went out of the city with Su Yan to see him off. The county lord of the Chu clan continued to stay in Shangling City, and with the rumors in the court and the hall in the past few days, the discerning person knew what it meant.

Everyone sighed at the royal family's importance to the Su family: if the two major forces of the vassal king and the Zhenguo Mansion really want to be combined, then the Su family's status in the court will be even more unshakeable.

Go out of the city and go north to the ten-mile post station, where the prince of Chu and the county lord say goodbye.

The Chu brothers and sisters were saying parting words not far away, while Su Yan was sitting in the shed of the post station drinking tea. After about a stick of incense, the prince was ready to leave, and walked to Su Yan's side under the shed: "The little sister will be alone in Shangling in the future, and I hope that General Su will take care of it." ”

Su Yan heard the meaning of the prince's words, but pretended not to understand: "The county lord is loved by the emperor and the queen, presumably everyone will take good care of the county lord, please rest assured, the journey is safe." ”

The prince didn't care, anyway, it was already decided that Su Yan would become his sister-in-law, but it was only a matter of time," Su Yao said goodbye. ”

"Brother take care all the way."

After looking at the frame of the prince of the Chu clan and walking away, Su Yan said to the Chu woman as respectfully as he did with the prince: "After walking for most of the day, the county lord is also tired, and rest in this post station for a while, use some refreshments, and we will set off back in the afternoon." So saying, he went to the stable.

Before arriving at the stable, Su Yan had vaguely heard the neighing of the "reverse shadow", and he immediately walked into the stable nervously. He is a man who loves horses, when he was young, he tamed a wild horse in the grassland in the southeast of Xizhao, with excellent coat color, sassy posture, fast as lightning, and named "Reverse Shadow". Over the years, Su Yan regarded him as a brother, gave him careful care and domestication, and on the dangerous battlefield, Reverse Shadow also saved Su Yan from danger several times.

Su Yan saw the reverse shadow in the stable lying on the ground and wailing in pain, and after examination, he found that the old disease on the horse's hooves had flare up again, and blood was oozing outward. Shadow was once pierced through the horse's hooves by an iron halberd in a battle, and although it was later healed, it would go back to the battlefield before it was completely healed, and over the years, old wounds accumulated, and new wounds continued, so the wounds on the horse's hooves flared up from time to time.

Su Yan took medicine and gauze, stroked the reverse shadow distressedly, and was about to apply medicine to it, when he heard footsteps approaching, he turned his head and found that it was Chu Wu, turned his head to medicine the reverse shadow, and said unkindly: "The stable is rough and simple, and it is not the place where the county lord should come." ”

"If you give it medicine like this, it can only stop the pain for a while, and it will soon fester." Chu Wu looked at the horse's hooves in the reverse shadow and said.

Hearing Chu Yan's words, Su Yan turned his head to look at her in some astonishment: "What? ”

"I mean, it's useless for you to do this, its hooves will be scrapped sooner or later." Chu Wu stepped forward and stroked the reverse shadow that was neighing in a low voice along the horse's hair, her eyes full of regret.

"What, you have a way?" Su Yan was full of suspicions.

"Let me try."

Chu Wu went to the carriage and went up to the next cloth bag, and soon returned to the stable.

"Help me lay this horse down."

"Oh, good." Su Yan comforted Chasing Ying and guided him to lie on the ground.

Chu Wu spread out the cloth bag, and it turned out to be silver needles inside.

"You're ......"

"Acupuncture, naturally." As she spoke, Chu Wu took out a thicker silver needle, and with the other hand, the horse's hooves and legs pierced the silver needles one by one. Later, several silver needles were inserted into the body and head of the horse.

Su Yan, who was originally a little worried, saw that the screams of chasing the shadow gradually weakened, so he calmed down.

"What's it called?"

"Retrospective."

After that, Chu Wu stopped making a sound, took out another jar of paste from the cloth bag, smeared it on the horse's hooves that were bleeding from the shadow, and then bandaged it.

After a long time, the reverse shadow stopped its wailing and screamed, slowly stood up, and walked a few steps around the stable, probably without any pain, it walked back to Chu Wu's side and leaned over it, as if to show favor to her.

Chu Wu smiled and gently stroked the head that came up from the reverse shadow, "Chasing the shadow is really a treasure horse." ”

Seeing the reflection that was no longer painful, Su Yan hurriedly thanked him. Chu Wu said to him calmly: "Don't thank me, don't think about it, I chase the shadow, but I think it's a pity if this BMW really wastes the horse's hooves." With that, Chu Wu turned around and left.

Isn't it going too far? Su Yan looked at Chu Yan's back and thought silently, even if her mother and the emperor intended to match her with her, but that might not be what she meant, maybe she was the same as herself, and she couldn't help herself?

Although Mu Yunyi did not go in and out of the Dongzhao court, she was not unheard of those rumors. Even on this day, Su Yan sent the prince of the Chu clan and the county lord out of the city together, she had heard about it.

Although she tried hard to tell herself that Su Yan's affairs had nothing to do with her, during lunch, Bi Ying still saw that her master was absent-minded

"Princess, but isn't today's lunch to your liking?"

"Oh, no, it's just that it's a little stuffy in the house all day, I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow." After that, Mu Yunyi went out alone.

Walking aimlessly down the street, she stopped when she passed a restaurant.

"Phantom Tower." She silently recited the name on the plaque, and remembered that it seemed that Zheng Bo had said that this phantom tower is the restaurant with the best view of Shangling City, especially the private room on the top floor, where you can see the whole panoramic view of Shangling City.

"It's a good name, but I don't know if it's the right name." Mu Yunyi walked in.

The shopkeeper greeted him, and saw that although Mu Yunyi was a fresh face, how clever the people in this phantom building were, and seeing that Mu Yunyi's temperament was dressed, he was by no means an ordinary person, and said diligently: "Guest officer, are you one?" Loose or cubicle? ”

"Just find me somewhere quieter."

The little second immediately understood, "There is an elegant room on the third floor, although it is not big, but it is very clean, I will take you up." ”
