Chapter 84: Illusion

Above the palace walls, there is a little firelight.

Several guards were dozing off with knives in their hands.

"Whoosh."

A black shadow flashed quickly, past the towering palace walls.

"Hmm."

One of the guards suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze swept around him in a bit of a daze. Apart from the crackling sound of burning in the brazier, there was no other unusual sound. He clenched the saber in his hand and closed his eyes again.

It's just a breeze.

*

"Childe."

Seeing his son-in-law jumping down from the palace wall, Xiao Luo, who was hiding in the shadows here, hurriedly greeted him.

It's false to say that I'm not worried, the palace is extremely heavily guarded, and there are many masters hidden in it. If someone finds out? Although he knows the extraordinary skills of his son-in-law, it will inevitably take some effort, and it may be difficult to get out of it.

The secret guard in the palace is not in vain.

"It's fine."

"Don't worry."

Su Li smiled slightly and said to him.

At this time, Xiaoluo looked tired, and obviously didn't sleep all night. Although there was a carriage parked here not far away for him to rest, he also knew that Xiaoluo must be too worried about him and couldn't sleep soundly, which was really hard for him.

"It's okay."

Xiaoluo nodded lightly, and then he was relieved.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Su Li moved first and walked in the direction of the carriage.

"Childe."

"Is Concubine Xiu in good health?"

Xiao Luo followed behind him and asked him with concern.

Concubine Xiu treats him very well.

His affection for her was not inferior to him.

"It's fine."

"It's just that I'm obviously getting older."

"One day, I will take my mother out of the palace to live. Living in the deep palace is too depressing. ”

"There are only inches under your feet, and the faces of the people in them are indifferent."

"There is less fireworks that should be in the world."

Su Li turned his head and looked at the palace wall behind him, implying a coldness. He had lived there for several years, and the land that countless people had dreamed of was like a beast of prey to him. When he was a child, countless people ignored him and bullied him, and he still remembers it vividly. Except for the concubine, only Su Qing can make him worry.

As for the owner of this luxurious palace?

Su Li turned his head and quickened his pace.

That person, don't mention it.

*

At this moment, it is still dark, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

Only a few early vendors are preparing in advance, waiting for diners to come to their door when it will light up later.

Inside the carriage, Su Li lifted the curtain of the car window and looked at the street with a somewhat casual gaze. The plaques of several century-old brands made him fall into childhood memories.

"Huh?"

"Lin family firm."

There are not many large businesses with three-story buildings in Qingzhou City. You can count it on your fingers. Some couldn't help it, and looked at it a little more.

"Su Li, don't go, okay?"

"Have you ever liked me a little?"

"I'll go to Nanchu to find you."

Su Li, who was in the carriage, recalled the scene of a conversation with her, shook his head lightly and smiled slightly.

"Impulsive words are not true at all."

He didn't know that the stubborn woman really went to Nanchu to look for him. And he lived in a courtyard separated from his mansion by a wall.

He didn't know that on the night of his wedding to the lord of Nanchu Ankang. For him, she set off a whole city of fireworks.

He didn't even know that the thin woman who had no interest in doing business at all, in order to avenge him, personally led her caravan to the north and south, and almost died at the hands of bandits and horse bandits several times.

"I hope you're doing better."

He and her should not have any intersection, this is the true thought in his heart at this time. The two never had a beginning, so there was no need to talk about the end.

He opened his mind and let it go.

He could only silently say thank you to her. After all, when he was the most difficult and painful, he had her by his side.

The spring breeze blows gently, and everything disappears.

The curtain slowly lowered, and the carriage creaked away.

*

The third floor of the Lin family firm.

In front of the window, there was a beautiful woman.

"Huh?"

Her brow furrowed slightly, a little distracted.

"Could it be him?"

The carriage that had just hurried through the street, the man with the mask on his face at the window. Although it was still dark, it was not clear what his true face was.

Why does it sound so familiar to her?

"Miss?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing her young lady's face change, Xiang'er asked curiously.

"It's fine."

Xiang'er interrupted her thoughts by saying something.

"Xiang'er, you say."

"Is he really gone?"

Lin Chengcheng asked her with a little pain on his face, a little unwillingly.

"Miss."

"It's been so many years."

"You still haven't forgotten him?"

For no reason, why did Miss suddenly mention that negative person again? Xiang'er secretly hated in her heart, wasn't it enough for him to harm his own young lady? After so many years, the young lady still loves him in her heart. But what about him? Do you know that your own lady is behind him and silently gives everything for him?

Over the years, she has watched her young lady come step by step. The road of business warfare is also full of blood. My own lady, a weak woman, has been able to get to this point, how much suffering has she suffered?

He didn't know anything about it.

It will be even more impossible to know in the future.

She felt pity and distress for her young lady.

"Hey, you're a negative guy, though. But now that you're gone, I won't blame you too much. ”

Xiang'er thought so in her heart.

"There was a man who just passed, very much like him."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much and having a delusion, right?"

Lin Chengcheng shook his head slightly, even she herself didn't believe that he was still alive.

"How is that possible?"

"Who can rise from the dead?"

Lin Chengcheng didn't believe it, and she didn't believe it even more.

"That's right."

"Huh."

Lin Chengcheng smiled miserably and didn't think about it anymore.

"Alright, let's go to the backyard and check it out again."

"This batch of goods that are about to be released today is what many Lin family guards exchanged for their lives."

"We must ensure that the supply is sufficient on the first day, and if it is sold out, we must arrange good people to draw it at any time."

Today is all the shops that are distant, Lin Chengcheng is a little relieved, so he came over early in the morning. This batch of new goods is the batch that she personally led to Beiyan to purchase not long ago.

Many of these products are extremely popular.

Wild ginseng and sika deer antler velvet are all treasures.

*

After walking a few streets, the carriage returned to the small courtyard.

After Su Li jumped out of the carriage, he was stunned.

I saw a man with a pockmarked face, anxiously waiting at the door of his courtyard. Seeing that Su Li had returned, he hurriedly walked over to him.

"Let's go inside."

Su Li waved his hand lightly and walked inward quickly.

"Yes."

The visitor was very respectful and hurried to follow his footsteps.

This person is from the Dark Moon Guard under his command. The name is a little more appropriate to him, called Zhang Sanma. On weekdays, he hides in Qingzhou City, responsible for secretly investigating news.

At this time, when I came to look for him, there must be something.
