"I knew this, what did you promise Wang Chen to do?" Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh.

"That's when we drank together, Wang Chen deliberately dug a pit for me, if I was sober at the time, I would never agree." As he spoke, You Rui seemed to think of the scene of that day again, and he was angry for a while, and his face once again showed a little anger.

Seeing this, Lu Li hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, okay, it's not too early, you should go into the palace and explain this matter to the emperor earlier, and it would be better to solve it earlier." ”

"Then You Rui took his leave."

After sending You Rui away, Xiao Man and Lu Li in the study looked at each other and smiled.

Xiaoman took the lead in picking up a seat and sat down, saying, "It's okay now, not only has Wang Youhe's marriage been solved, but I can also take her to Canglan with peace of mind." ”

Speaking of which, in fact, if You Rui really marries Wang Youhe, and the two go to Canglan with Xiaoman and others, it will be good. After all, You Rui is very knowledgeable, and with Wang Youhe's good embroidery, he will definitely be able to help him.

It's a pity that the two of them are not interesting to each other, and they are both suspicious of retiring from the marriage, Xiaoman can't be reluctant as an outsider, so he can only help according to the wishes of the two.

"But I heard that King Canglan wasn't in a hurry to leave?" Lu Li spoke up, interrupting Xiao Man's thoughts.

When he mentioned this matter, he gave Xiao Man a headache, "Yes, a few days ago, Holley came to me, and while signing the contract, he told me that King Canglan was worried about the country, and he was bent on leaving early, and he couldn't even wait for the New Year." I think I'm not going to be able to participate in this competition. ”

The game has to be at least after the beginning of spring, and looking at the current posture of King Canglan, I am afraid that he will have to leave before the New Year.

"Then according to what you said, we can't wait for Wangshu and Old Man Xia to come back together, so we have to set off with this vicissitudes of the team?" Lu Lideng's face changed and became serious.

Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Man was also aware of this matter, she frowned, estimated it in her heart, and showed embarrassment in the back, "It seems that this is really the case......"

Xu is has had too many things recently, and that happened a few days ago, Xiao Man didn't realize it for a while.

Lu Li got up immediately, "I'm going to go to Xia Mansion and ask Old Man Xia, you go to the post house, have a good talk with King Canglan, at least give us a time to prepare, and we can't follow him to Canglan in a daze." ”

"Okay, I'll go now."

The two didn't bother to discuss the competition, so they packed up the drawings on the table a little and set off separately.

Xiao Man took the carriage to the post house, because of Mao Zhiyuan's relationship, she went in smoothly, and soon met the king of Canglan.

"Lord Anping?" King Canglan was a little surprised, he straightened up, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "What are you doing at this time?" Can't wait to go to Canglan? ”

Although the other party looked joking, obviously, Xiaoman didn't think this sentence was funny.

She stepped forward, but she didn't bother to sit down, so she asked anxiously: "I heard Hua Li say that the king seems to be in a hurry to go back to Canglan, right?" ”

King Canglan didn't make a detour, and nodded directly and admitted: "That's right, it's been some time since Gu came out, I'm very worried about the political affairs in the country, and the weather in Donglan is getting worse and worse, if Gu doesn't set off as soon as possible, won't it be delayed for a few more months?" ”

"So, I thought about waiting for two days to leave the emperor and prepare to leave for China."

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Man and raised his eyebrows slightly, "The county lord of Anping came this time, does he want to persuade Gu Zai to stay longer?" ”

Xiaoman sighed and said straight to the point: "My child has recently gone out with my husband on a long trip, and it may take a while to come back. ”

She raised her eyes and looked at the king carefully, seeing that the other party was silent, and then added: "If the king is worried about state affairs, it is okay to leave early, and when I wait for the child to come back, I will naturally catch up quickly, and I will definitely not drag the king back." ”

Actually, she wanted to talk about Wang Youhe again, but thinking of Wang Chen's unresolved marriage, Xiaoman had to keep silent.

"In this way—" The king was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "Actually, it's not impossible. ”

Xiao Man was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to thank the king, but the other party spoke again at this time, and the words changed: "But, don't forget, the county lord, what is the purpose of making you the county lord, if you don't return to China with Lone's army, and you can't catch up in the future, then what should Lone do?" ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, it is nothing more than doubting Xiaoman's determination to go to the vicissitudes.

She frowned, and her face was already a little displeased: "Your Majesty, I have already won such a high honor, is it possible that I will regret it halfway?" If you're not worried, just leave a few people to keep an eye on me, and I didn't think about escaping anyway. ”

"The county lord is too careful." King Canglan smiled, "Gu is not suspicious of the county lord, but if you don't return with Gu's team, it will inevitably cause the suspicion of the emperor and other people, and rumors will spread at that time, and it will hurt you." ”

Listening to what the other party said, Xiaoman's already unhappy face became even more ugly, and she didn't bother to talk nonsense, but knelt down and kowtowed directly, lowered her head and said: "I, Su Xiaoman, swear that I will never quit halfway, and if it leads to rumors, it will be borne by me alone, and I will never embarrass the king." ”

After speaking, she solemnly kowtowed to the other party, and let the king of Canglan say those hypocritical and polite nonsense again, and before getting the permission of the other party, she neither made a sound nor got up, and knelt like this.

In the end, King Canglan really had no choice but to respond: "Since the county lord is so stubborn, then Gu agreed to your request, but Gu explained in advance that if you don't catch up within half a month, then Gu Ke will ......"

Although the other party didn't explain what to do, it must not be a good word, so Xiao Man hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

With the permission of the king, Xiao Man had nothing else to do, so he hurriedly returned to the mansion to see how Lu left the Xia Mansion to inquire.

Back in the house, Wangshu had already packed all his luggage, as well as pearls and jade, and they all packed their bags, and when they saw Xiaoman coming back, the three masters and servants talked for a while.

After all, there are no parents to follow this trip, and Mr. Xia is still Wangshu's husband, and he also ordered that he can only bring two people to serve, how can Xiaoman rest assured? But since she agreed, she had no room to regret it, so she could only ask more.

After the three of them spoke, Lu Li came back.

"How is it, what did Old Man Xia say?" Xiao Man hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Lu Li glanced at Wangshu, who was talking to Pearl and Jade over there, sighed lowly, leaned into Xiaoman's ear and said: "Old Man Xia said that this time I will go to Shuangcheng for about five days, plus the journey back and forth, it will take a total of twenty days, but because the weather is too cold these days, and there may be other changes, it may take about a month." ”

"A month?" Xiao Man couldn't help but exclaim, "But King Canglan said that he would tell the emperor to set off in two days, and he only gave us a half-month deadline, saying that if he couldn't catch up with his team within half a month, then he would have to ......."

"What are you going to do?" Lu Li asked.

Xiaoman sighed, turned around helplessly, and was full of anxiety in his heart: "I don't know what he's going to do, but it's definitely not a good thing." ”

"Then it's going to be a problem." Lu Li found a stone bench and sat down, his face solemn, "After all, this King Canglan is the lord of a country, if he gets angry because of this, it won't be solved by us kowtowing and confessing." ”

Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but regret a little, he knew that he wouldn't recommend Xiaoman to go to Canglan so quickly.

At that time, it was indeed to solve the emperor's urgent need, but now it has become their trouble. If they set off with King Canglan's team, then Wang Shu had not returned, Wang Youhe's injuries were not healed, and the game had not yet been completely taken over by Wei Xiuyuan and others, where could they rest assured!

Half a month, what can you do in such a short time?

"Otherwise, I'll just pretend to be sick!" Xiaoman had a whim.

But this method was quickly vetoed by Lu Li, "You just went to King Canglan today and asked him to stay for a few more days, and in the blink of an eye, you are sick, do you think he will believe it?" And even if he is sick, it will not affect the hurry, and he will not be lenient anymore. ”

Xiao Man let out a long sigh, lying listlessly on the stone table, supporting his chin with both hands, and said weakly: "Then what should we do?" Is it really necessary to rush over within half a month? ”

The two of them sat on the stone benches, both anxious and worried about the hurry.

Suddenly, Lu Li suddenly thought of something, he got up and left, walked quickly to the study and took out a map.

This map is the map marked with the location of Qishan that Lu Li had taken to Wei Mansion before, Lu Li unfolded the map on the stone table, searched carefully, and finally found the location of Qishan. Lu Li held his breath and found the location of Canglan on the map again, and his heart almost jumped out.

He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly patted Xiaoman's arm, "Look, is the location of this Qishan coincidental?" ”

"Coincidentally?" Xiao Man looked in the direction of Lu Li's finger, and when he saw it clearly, his eyes widened in surprise, "Qishan is actually in-"

"Qishan is on the road from Shangjing to Canglan!" Lu Li looked a little more meaningful, he pointed to Qishan with one hand and Canglan with the other, excited and excited, "I didn't expect things to be so coincidental, now it's okay, we can directly let Wangshu stay in the local area, and then pick him up when we set off." ”

Fortunately, he thought of this, otherwise he would have to persuade Wangshu to give up traveling with Old Man Xia.

Xiao Man was also very happy in her heart, but soon, she frowned again, "But what about Wang Youhe in the courtyard?" What to do then? ”
