Chu Huai gently closed the door tightly, and after making sure that the housekeeper had gone away, he saw that there were already paper and pens on the table, so he picked them up and tried them, took out a piece of paper, and wrote a few words on it, and when the ink was dry, he whistled, and after a few fluttering wings, a white dove flew in front of the window and pecked his feathers with his beak.

He folded the paper into a small fold and rolled it into the letter box tied to the white pigeon's legs, and then he took the white pigeon off the window lattice, smoothed its feathers, stretched out his hands out of the window and sent it out of the window, Chu Huai looked at the white pigeon that fluttered its wings and soon disappeared and couldn't help muttering: "You have to hurry up and deliver the letter!" ”

......

Before dawn, the mandarin duck had already opened her eyes wide, staring at the ceiling and distracted, just after coming to Huaihua Valley, for some reason, she had always had a sense of panic, this day seemed to be much calmer than she thought, but it made her very uneasy, she thought that she should enter the palace immediately after getting the Seven Lives Gu and return to Xia Yuan's side, but now it was Chu Huai who clearly ordered her, so that she should not be so anxious to enter the palace, rest in Huaihua Valley first, wait for his news to come, and have a suitable opportunity, in order to leave Huaihua Valley.

It's just that if you don't hear from you all the time, won't you have to stay in Huaihua Valley for the rest of your life? The mandarin duck rolled over, turned his back to the wall, and looked out of the window, which was still very dark.

You can already faintly hear the crowing of chickens from a distance, accompanied by the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. The windows weren't closed, and the wind blowing in from outside was still a little chilly. The mandarin duck tightened the quilt, and was blown away without a little sleepiness, but he didn't bother to get out of bed and close the window.

The sky lit up little by little, and I don't know when it began, the courtyard seemed to become more lively, and the footsteps outside the door seemed to be someone pacing in a hurry.

Who will it be? Is it Ah Le? Or is the sprig back? When looking out of the window, there was only a whole open space as far as the eye could see, but the footsteps were still outside the door, and the mandarin duck got up from the bed, walked to the door, carefully opened a crack in the door, and looked out.

"Miss!" Hearing the sound, it was Xiao Zhi who turned around, holding a white dove in his hand, his expression was very excited, but after seeing the tiredness on the mandarin duck's face, he turned worried, "Did I wake up Miss?" ”

"No, I woke up early." The mandarin duck opened the door a little wider and walked out, and the sky was completely bright, and the wind became gentle.

"Look, Miss!" Xiao Zhi raised the white dove in his hand in front of the mandarin duck, and the white dove was very obedient in his hand, not making trouble or flapping its wings, only the obsidian-like little eyes looked curiously left and right.

"It's ...... Dove? What happened to this white dove? ”

"Miss, look at its legs."

"On the legs?" The mandarin duck's gaze moved down, and saw the small letter box tied to the white pigeon's leg, and when he opened it, he saw a small note rolled inside, "This is?" ”

"It's a letter from the Lord of Chu Valley! It was just a carrier pigeon raised by the valley owner, but I was obedient, and I drove the carriage down the mountain, and it stopped on the carriage. ”

"Master came to the news so quickly." The mandarin duck pulled out the letter paper in the letterbox, "Imperial City Xu Mansion, come quickly." Xufu? Where is Xufu? ”

"Miss, you have been living in the imperial city before, don't you know where the Xu Mansion is?"

"I've only been to places on the road from the Imperial City to the General's Mansion before, and I've never seen any family surnamed Xu, and the Imperial City is so big, and there are many places I don't know."

"Does the Lord of Chu Gu have anything else to write in the letter?" Xiaozhi leaned towards the mandarin duck's side, and also wanted to see the words written by Chu Huai on the paper.

"Nothing else was written except these six words." The mandarin duck handed the note to the twig's hand, and the twig leaned over to see that there were indeed a few words written on it.

"Lord Chu Gu is really, this Xu Mansion didn't say anywhere, how can we go quickly?" Twig let the white dove he was holding in his hand fly, pouting and muttering.

"Okay, Xiaozhi, don't complain, since the master asked us to hurry up, then let's set off quickly, just to trouble you just came back and haven't rested, and you're going to the imperial city with me again."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not a thing." Xiao Zhi shook his hand indifferently, and then opened a pleasant smile to the mandarin duck, "Since Miss has said so, then let's hurry up and go to the imperial city to find Lord Chu." ”

"Xiaozhi, you go to the bottom of the mountain and wait for me now, I'll go change my clothes and pack up my things."

"It's okay, miss, you don't have to worry, then I'll go and feed the horses some food first."

"Well, okay, I'll be coming to you soon."

Xiaozhi watched the door of the mandarin duck's room close in front of him, and he stood outside the door for a moment again, looked at the note in his hand, and clenched it tightly. Only then did he walk out of the yard.

I don't know why, from just now, Mandarin Duck actually had the idea of going back to the General's Mansion to see General Wen and Mrs. Wen, and I don't know if his sudden disappearance at that time made the two of them worried.

Are they doing well? I don't know, Wen Mu often goes back to see them, maybe on the day he suddenly disappeared, there was a little bit of complaining, and then he should just think that he was going to play again, it doesn't matter, right?

That's right, Obuchi! Didn't you ever run into Obuchi when you were in the South China Sea? Would he tell them where he had gone?

The mandarin duck sat down against the door, and the layout of the whole room was in full view, whether it was the bookshelf or the desk, it was neatly tied, but this cleanliness did not belong to him, this was just a place left by the old valley master.

She opened the wardrobe, and there was only a set of clothes that she had changed in the Oracle Village that day, untied the clothes on her body, put on a clean red Luo skirt, and scanned the room again, only then did she remember that she had not brought anything out of the general's mansion, and at this moment she said that she would pack up something for herself to take away?

"That's right, Seven Life Gu!" The mandarin duck, who was just about to go out, finally remembered the wooden box on the bookshelf.

She hurriedly found a rucksack, put the wooden box from the bookshelf into the rucksack, and then patted it in her arms, and then carried it well, "The most important thing is not to forget!" ”

Just as the mandarin duck walked down the mountain, Xiaozhi had indeed driven the carriage to the intersection at the foot of the mountain and waited.

"You've been waiting a long time, aren't you?"

"Why, I've just arrived, Miss, come on quickly!" Xiaozhi turned to the mandarin duck in surprise and hurriedly opened the curtain for her.

"Let's go."

Several medicine boys passing by along the way watched the carriage pass by with a strange look.

Why did this little branch leave again not long after he returned?

Has the Lord of Chu Valley not returned to Huaihua Valley for a long time?
