In the tent of the Canglan team.

About two months have passed since the departure from Beijing, and the current Canglan team is about to leave the territory of Donglan, and then pass through a barren snow-capped mountain, and then arrive at the Canglan country. After arriving in Canglan Country, they still had to walk for about half a month before they could reach Bei'an, the capital of Canglan.

"Your Majesty, if we hurry at our current pace, we will have to walk for at least another month before we can return to Bei'an." The chief of the guard, who had traveled with the king, said.

Wang Shang coughed lightly, frowned at the map spread out on the table by the leader, his eyes lingered on Shangjing and Bei'an, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

Seeing this, the leader of the guards couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what is the difficulty?" ”

"Lone is worried about the county lord of Dark Anping." Wang Shang sighed, retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and said, "I don't know where they are now, and how long it will take to catch up with our team." ”

The original agreement was a month, but now there is still more than a month to go, and he is about to arrive in Bei'an, but this Su Xiaoman's team didn't even see a single figure, they won't really escape, won't they come?

Just as he was thinking about it, the leader of the guards on the side said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you said that they should not have run away, right?" ”

The Canglan Wang, who coincided with the thoughts of the head of the guards, raised his eyes and glanced at him, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the king looked away and said in a deep voice: "Impossible, I believe that they are not such people." ”

"It's a humble speculation, and I hope the king will forgive me."

"It's okay, you go down first, and call Holley in."

Speaking of which, in his own team, the people who are more familiar with Xiaoman and them have to belong to Huali. The reason why the king called him in was also to discuss with the other party, so that he could come to a conclusion, would this Su Xiaoman really escape?

The king, who thought that Hua Li would think about it for a moment, didn't expect that as soon as the other party understood what he meant, he said categorically: "Impossible!" Shopkeeper Su is not such a person at all! If she didn't catch up at the time agreed with the king, it must have been delayed on the way! ”

After speaking, Hua Li seemed to realize that there was something abnormal about his determination, so he hurriedly laughed twice, and added: "I hope the king can rest assured, I have dealt with Shopkeeper Su, and I know that she is definitely not a person who does not keep her promises." ”

"That's fine." The king naturally didn't want to be considered a suspicious monarch, so he smiled slightly and explained: "Lone and this shopkeeper Su are not familiar with each other, although she has signed a contract with her husband, but she can't guarantee her character. ”

Hua Li nodded, but soon frowned again, and said thoughtfully: "That's right, we're all about to arrive in Bei'an, why haven't they caught up yet?" Didn't you really have an accident on the road? ”

Hearing this, Wang Shang couldn't help but look sideways, stared at Hua Li for a while, and then said: "In this way, you take a team to return, and communicate with Gu in time along the way, so that you can meet Shopkeeper Su and his party, what do you say?" ”

In this way, it can not only ensure that Su Xiaoman will not really escape, but also ensure their safety, and reassure yourself, which is a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Huali didn't think much about it, but was only worried about the safety of Shopkeeper Su and his party, so he immediately responded, "Okay, then I'll go and prepare immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, before Huali turned around and walked out of the tent, the voice of Fuliu came from outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Anping has caught up."

The king immediately got up, and Hua Li was even more excited, and his feet were already ready to move, so he waited for the king's order to go out to meet them.

King Canglan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Set up a banquet immediately, welcome to the county lord of Anping and his party!" ”

"Yes!"

Fluff got the order and went to prepare, Hua Li turned around with a smile, rubbed his hands, his eyes did not leave the king for a moment, with full expectation and pleading: "Your Majesty, then I ......"

"Let's go with Gu to see the county lord of Anping."

Because they had to catch up with King Canglan's team within the agreed time, Xiao Man and the others traveled day and night, and they couldn't even take the opportunity to go back to Taoyuan County, so they could only ask someone to bring a letter back and inform Su Qi and others that their family had gone to Canglan Kingdom.

In such a tense hurry, Wang Youhe gradually lost her previous young lady's temper, eating, drinking and working with her subordinates, which was very different from her previous life. But what is admirable is that Wang Youhe has never said a word of bitterness, never shed a single tear, let alone go home, which has never happened.

Everyone tensed their nerves and did their best to catch up with the team of the Canglan King.

In the end, I was very glad that I finally caught up with the team of King Canglan at this time.

However, at this time, Xiao Man, Lu Li and the others had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights, and everyone was exhausted and haggard, just like when they were in Beijing before.

"Shopkeeper Su!" Huali took the lead in rushing over, looking Xiao Man up and down left and right, and said distressedly: "How did you become like this, could it be that you really encountered bandits and robbers on the way?" ”

Xiao Man glanced at the other party when he heard this, and sighed a little helplessly.

Just as she was about to spit out the hardships along the way, the king appeared, and she had to swallow back the words that came to her lips and replaced them with a faint smile, "It's not hard, it's all to catch up with the king's team, these hardships are nothing." ”

No matter how easy the king is, he is also the monarch of a country, and his party will all have to rely on each other in the future, so these words can naturally be said without saying them, and the other party will think that he is disloyal.

But unexpectedly, the king did not say the polite words she expected, but went straight to the point: "The county lord has worked hard all the way, and now that he has kept up with the base camp, he has a good rest in the past two days, and everything will be discussed after you recover." ”

After speaking, the king smiled slightly, "You say, what is the arrangement of Lone?" ”

"The king's arrangement is naturally the best, and the ministers obey it." Lu Li bowed and bowed slightly.

Wang Shang laughed heartily when he heard this, stepped forward to hold Lu Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Now that Gu has made Mrs. Lu the county lord, it is equivalent to Gu's sister Wang, you are her husband, and of course you are Gu's brother-in-law, you should also change your name." ”

Everyone present was stunned.

Lu Li was also stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted: "Brother Wang." ”

Unexpectedly, although he was older than this king, he still had to call the other party a royal brother.

"Okay." Wang Shang always had a faint smile, and his deep eyebrows seemed to be a little more gentle, he looked at Xiao Man, "Sister Wang has worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first." ”

Although Xiaoman was a little confused, she was really anxious to get a good night's sleep at the moment, so she didn't shirk it anymore, and just bowed and said goodbye.

After leaving the king's main tent, Wang Youhe, who had been following Xiao Man, stepped forward and said suspiciously: "Sister Xiao Man, didn't Brother Lu say anything when he called the king before?" Why did it suddenly correct today? ”

"Who knows." Xiao Man yawned, pulled his hair together, and said: "However, in the future, we will have to live on other people's territory, and you should change your title as soon as possible, and the province will be caught by someone with a heart to pigtail." ”

"Yes, I remember." Wang Youhe nodded hurriedly, secretly keeping this matter in mind.

In the future, they will live in Canglan for a while, as Xiao Man said, although they were brought over by the king of Canglan to help, but because of the difference between respect and inferiority, and Xiao Man was named the county lord without any merits, then they will have to be more cautious in the future.

At this time, they were still on the road, and all the crises had not yet appeared, but once they arrived at the vicissitudes of the capital Bei'an, what would happen, it was not something they could imagine.

As they are not familiar with the place, they must establish a good relationship with the local people as soon as possible, so that it will be much more convenient to do things or find out information.

Of course, Holley, which has become a partner with Xiaoman, is the best candidate.

After completely leaving Donglan and passing through the deserted snowy mountains, this long team finally returned to the territory of Canglan. Xiao Man and the others have also completed the thorough repair, and have discussed several plans with the king, and are ready to start implementing them after returning to the capital.

On this day, after Xiao Man left the king's tent, he walked directly to the tent where Huali was resting.

After this period of companionship, the relationship between the two has been much better than before, and Wang Shang has also reduced the suspicion of the relationship between the two, so Xiaoman came to Huali's camp very easily and openly.

"County Lord?" Seeing her coming, Hua Li hurriedly got up, and stepped forward with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Man pretended to be angry, "How many times have I told you, just call me by my name, and return it to the county lord and county lord, how troublesome and unfamiliar it sounds, doesn't it?" ”

Hua Li smiled innocently, but did not immediately agree to Xiaoman, but patiently explained: "Isn't this about to go to Bei'an?" When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and if I call it indiscriminately, won't it be used to make a fuss? So, I'll call it whatever I want. ”

After speaking, he poured hot tea for Xiao Man, stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Didn't the king also correct Lord Lu before?" That's for your own good, too. ”

"I know all of this, thank you Lord Huali." Xiao Man raised his lips and smiled, picked up the hot tea on the table, and took a sip gently.

It turned out that King Canglan specially corrected Lu Li for this matter, and it seemed that this king was far from being as ruthless and decisive as she imagined in her heart. But Rao is like this, she also has to find some ways to protect herself in advance, so that she will really fall into a dilemma in the future.

Thinking about it, Xiao Man put down the teacup and looked at Hua Li with a smile, "Lord Hua Li, we've known each other for a while, right?" ”
