Cheng Xi and Zhao Yu went on the road, except for half an hour of rest, they didn't stop to rest, and the guards were changing shifts at night to catch the car, but because Zhao Yu was pregnant, the speed of the carriage was not too fast.

Fortunately, the carriage was comfortably arranged, and Cheng Xi spent the night in the carriage, except for some bumps, it was not too uncomfortable.

At noon the next day, I finally arrived at Liucheng, the center of Jiangnan, where the Ruiwang Mansion is located.

Hearing that Ah Long, who was driving the car outside, said that it was about to arrive, Cheng Xi opened the curtain of the car, leaned in the small window of the carriage to look outside, and the centenarians on the side also clamored to see, Cheng Xi knelt on the soft collapse with the hundred-year-olds in his arms, and his two heads were propped up in the window to look out.

Looking at the magnificent Liucheng City Gate, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh and said, "This momentum is comparable to Chang'an, the capital." ”

Cheng Xi's voice was not small, and Ah Long, who was driving in front of him, heard Cheng Xi's feelings, so he answered proudly, "That's, speaking of which, this Liucheng is richer than Chang'an, and there are many officials and nobles in Chang'an, but ordinary people are still poor, but Liucheng is different, the people in Liucheng, that is every family is rich." ”

Cheng Xi heard Ah Long's words and said in surprise, "So rich? ”

Ah Long continued, "The land south of the Yangtze River is fertile and rich in products, but it is the most fertile land in our Great Zhou, which is not comparable to other places. ”

Cheng Xi thought about the situation in this era, it seems that where the land is fertile and the grain is high, where there is wealth, although Chang'an is slightly better than their Yuncheng, but looking at the changes in the climate and environment along the way, I am afraid that this Chang'an is really inferior to Jiangnan.

It's no wonder that the emperor is so red-eyed and so jealous of King Jiang Nanrui.

The men and horses who escorted Cheng Xi and them went directly to the camp near Liucheng, leaving only some elites to escort them into the city, and the carriage gradually approached Liucheng, and the appearance of Liucheng became clearer and clearer in Cheng Xi's eyes.

The tall city tower, in front of the city tower is a moat, and there are rows of willow trees planted around the moat, but unfortunately it is bare in winter, and it does not show the style of catkins.

A wide bridge leads to the gate of Liucheng at the main gate, and at this time the gate is wide open, and from time to time there are people coming in and out, and there is a row of guards on both sides of the gate who do not squint, but it will not block the crowd from entering and exiting.

Cheng Xi looked at such a scene, and said, "People who come in and out are so laissez-faire, aren't they afraid that there will be fine works to sneak into the city?" ”

Ah Long, who was driving the car, replied, "Isn't it possible that the more careful you are, the more detailed you will be?" Take the most cautious Chang'an City, even if the investigation is strict, it is not the people who have mixed into Jiangnan. ”

Cheng Xi heard Ah Long's words, nodded and replied, "What I said is also true, as long as you have a heart, even if you check it strictly, this person can get in." ”

Ah Long responded, "Exactly, besides, the surroundings of Liucheng are all garrisons of the Jiangnan Army, even if those fine works want to do something, they must think about the consequences first, and the best way to deal with them is not to prevent them again and again, but to let him show his flaws, and then follow the vine to find out all of them." ”

Cheng Xi heard Ah Long talk eloquently, and responded with a smile, "Yo, you know a lot, don't you?" ”

Ah Long replied with a smile, "Where do the subordinates know more, isn't this the master dealing with those detailed things in Youzhou City, the subordinates were the same as the lady before, and they had a lot of questions, and then the master taught the subordinates a good lesson." ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile when he heard this, "I said, why do you suddenly think that you are only eight years old and five rich." ”

Ah Long heard Cheng Xi's words, and teased with a smile, "Madam, are you talking about me to praise our master for being a high school and a rich man, right?" ”

Cheng Xi heard that Ah Long actually teased himself, knowing that these guards were used to her, and he was not angry, he only smiled and reprimanded, "Let's drive your car well, relying on your master is no longer there, even I dare to ridicule?" Be careful, I'll wait for your master to come back and complain to him. ”

As soon as he heard that Cheng Xi was going to sue his master, Ah Long instantly confessed, "Madam, your subordinates know their mistakes, don't tell your master anything, otherwise your master will have to pull his master to practice boxing for a long time." ”

Cheng Xi scolded with a smile, "Come out, catch the car, it's almost here." ”

Their team is so iconic, of course, they entered the city unimpeded, looking at the prosperous scene in the city, Cheng Xi really wanted to go down for a walk, but thinking that there would be opportunities in the future, he still held back for the time being, and he still had to go to see King Rui and Princess Rui first.

The carriage also went straight to King Rui's mansion, and when he arrived nearby, he saw that King Rui and Princess Rui were already standing at the door to greet him, and the expression on King Rui's face was quite calm, but Princess Rui was excited, and the smile on her face was even more dazzling, which showed how happy she was.

Because King Rui and Princess Rui were waiting at the gate of the palace, the carriage stopped near King Rui's mansion, and Cheng Xi also got off the carriage with a hundred years old.

Zhao Yu happened to come down, and several people were about to step forward to give a gift to Princess Rui, but Princess Rui had already taken a step forward to greet them excitedly, and King Rui saw that his princess was catching up, and he had to follow behind her.

Seeing Princess Rui coming forward, Cheng Xi still hurriedly saluted, "Xi'er has seen King Rui, and Princess Rui." ”

Zhao Yu stood beside Cheng Xi, and also gave a salute, but the voice in his mouth was different, "The daughter-in-law has seen her father and the concubine." ”

Princess Rui still started to support Zhao Yu first, and said, "Don't be polite when you say you're pregnant, be careful." ”

After helping Zhao Yu to stand up, he went to Cheng Xi's side, took Cheng Xi's hand and said, "I can be regarded as looking forward to you, I heard that something happened on your way, but it made me anxious." ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Let the princess worry, we are all fine." ”

Princess Rui smiled happily, "That's good." ”

Then he noticed the hundred-year-old pulled by Cheng Xi, reached out and rubbed the hundred-year-old's head and said, "This is a hundred-year-old, it's really well-behaved and cute." ”

Cheng Xi took the hand of the hundred years old and said, "Hundred years old, how did Aunt Qin teach you?" ”

The hundred-year-old hurriedly let go of Cheng Xi's hand and gave a gift to Princess Rui Wang Rui in a decent manner, "Say hello to King Rui, say hello to Princess Rui." ”

Princess Rui heard the child's unfamiliar name, and then thought that Cheng Xi was the same, sighed slightly regretfully, and soon a kind smile appeared on her face, and said to Bai Sui with a smile, "Bai Sui no need to be polite, get up." ”

At this time, Rui Wang, who had not spoken, at most only nodded, said, "Let's go into the house, don't stand at the door." ”

A few people standing at the door to greet each other came back to their senses, and then the group followed King Rui into King Rui's mansion.

Entering the Rui Wang Mansion, Cheng Xi's eyes were rolling, looking left and right at the layout of the Rui Wang Mansion, and sighed in his heart, "Although this Rui Wang Mansion is not as splendid as the palace she went to, it is majestic and elegant, which makes people unconsciously feel a sense of comfort, which is much more comfortable than the Rui Wang Mansion in Chang'an City." ”

Cheng Xi, who was looking around, was suddenly pulled back by Princess Rui.

At this time, Princess Rui was standing beside Cheng Xi, and asked as she walked forward, "Xi'er, did San Lang say when he will come back?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Xianggong said, when the matter over there is dealt with, it shouldn't be too slow, even if it is delayed for a long time, I will definitely come back before the New Year and come with everyone." ”

Princess Rui heard Cheng Xi's answer, and sighed in response, "That's good, that's good, but will there be any danger in this Youzhou City?" I don't know if he's going well over there. ”

After Princess Rui finished speaking, she heard King Rui speak, "What are you worried about, if that kid can't do this thing, if he can't come back in danger, he deserves it." ”

King Rui's words made Cheng Xi's brows furrow even tighter, but Princess Rui slapped King Rui unceremoniously and reprimanded, "Bah, what nonsense." What can't come back? Words won't be spoken. ”

Rui Wang replied helplessly, "It was my mistake. ”

Cheng Xi was stunned, he really didn't expect that the efficiency and speed of admitting his mistake in front of Princess Rui, who was usually majestic, was really fast enough.

Seeing that Princess Rui still had a straight face, King Rui continued to speak, "Didn't Ge Shu leave a lot of elites in Youzhou City, just a few fine works, and so many assassins, in front of him, they are not all clowns who jump off the beam, and it won't take long to catch them, you can rest assured, and you will definitely come back safely." ”

Although King Rui told Princess Rui, Cheng Xi on the side could hear it clearly, and the heart he had just mentioned was a little lowered.

Princess Rui's face was not as ugly as before, but looked at Zhao Yu on the side, and asked, "Where did that kid Goshu run away again?" ”

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and responded, "Mother, he is doing business, and he will be back in two days." ”

Princess Rui's eyes glared at King Rui again, Cheng Xi was a little aggrieved for King Rui, this is too innocent, Ge Shu doesn't come back, in Princess Rui, you seem to have become King Rui's fault.

Rui Wang explained again with a smile, "This time I didn't come nonsense, and I didn't send him to a place where he shouldn't go, there was a little problem at the Jiangnan border, and he went to inspect it and came back soon." ”

Cheng Xi listened to King Rui's words, combined with the things he heard from Zhao Yu about Ge Shu's past days, and instantly understood the meaning of King Rui's words, this errand that sent Ge Shu to Hualou to visit and make a detailed job must have been handed over to him by King Rui, but this matter was made by Zhao Yu, who did not know it, and it was in an uproar, Princess Rui was reluctant to blame her son and daughter-in-law, and she was afraid that she would blame King Rui for the fault.

Princess Rui didn't continue to worry about King Rui, glared at King Rui, then resumed her smile, changed the topic and said to Cheng Xi on the side, "I specially repaired the small courtyard prepared for you, let's go to the front hall to have dinner first, and I will take you to see if there is anything that needs to be changed and what is missing, let's buy it all at once." ”
