The maidservant brought the meal to the table, and in the middle was a dish of steamed fish, drizzled with a little hot oil, and the fragrance was even more fragrant.

"You eat more, especially Gu boy, don't feel uncomfortable, just treat this as your own home."

Xiahou Chuan picked up a piece of chopsticks and fish while talking to the three juniors.

"Master, I know."

Gu Changan was relaxed eating, but his eyes occasionally fell on Xu Zhinan opposite.

After lunch, Zuo said goodbye, she had not returned to the city lord's mansion for some days, and she would not go back, afraid that her father would definitely come to this void mountain with a bamboo stick to find her.

"You don't have to send it, I'm just going back for a while, Zhinan, you don't want to get into trouble here, you have to go back and remember to ask the guards to prepare a carriage for you."

"Master, don't be too tired, junior brother is a good seedling, you also have to pay attention to your body. Don't be like an old kid all day long. ”

"Senior brother, after I return to the City Lord's Mansion, if I have something to contact you, Qingluan will send you a letter."

In fact, Zuo Ci wanted to say more, she was worried that someone would threaten her with her weakness, she didn't know who was behind the scenes, and now she could only say it first.

"The resignation girl is still as good as ever."

When Zuo Ci heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head when he got on the horse, and the old man said that she talked a lot.

Xu Zhinan put some dates in Zuo Ci's bag and raised a big smile.

"Sister Zuo, you don't have to worry about me, Zhinan is obedient."

Gu Changan and Zuo Ci on horseback glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and did not say much. But Zuo Ci felt that she knew what Gu Changan meant, and also felt that Gu Changan was someone she could trust.

Zuo Ci patted the horse, and the three of them looked at it and went back to the yard.

"Gu boy, after the lunch break, just wait for me in the courtyard, you have to get up early and practice martial arts hard from today onwards."

Gu Changan replied yes, he didn't believe that this martial arts practice could be difficult.

Xiahou Chuan returned to the room, and now only Xu Zhinan and Gu Changan were left in the courtyard, but both of them were already noisy, but in a quarter of an hour, they became acquainted.

Xu Zhinan sat on the steps, with Gu Changan on the side, and from behind, Xu Zhinan's figure was much smaller.

"The dates of this Void Mountain are the most delicious, especially in the recent period, they are the sweetest."

Gu Changan listened to Xu Zhinan's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he nodded.

"This sweetness may be like Le'an milk cake in Le'an City."

"Sweeter than Le'an milk cake!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xu Zhinan was very happy, in the past, there were only her and Zuo Ci, but now that Gu Changan can appear, she is really happy.

The two sat on the steps, laughing non-stop, Gu Changan occasionally stayed in her eyes, and occasionally made Xu Zhinan laugh.

——

In front of the city lord's mansion, the housekeeper Uncle Luo had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zuo Ci stopped in front of the mansion, he was busy leading the horse.

"Ah Ci, you're back!"

Xia Yingren is an orphan girl, who was adopted by the lord of Zuo City since she was a child, and adopted as an adopted daughter, who grew up with Zuo Ci and is like a sister.

"Yingren, how can you learn to know the south."

Xia Yingren let go of his hand and saluted.

"Welcome people to see the young city lord, and welcome the young city lord back to his home."

Zuo Ci stretched out his hand and nodded Xia Yingren's forehead, his face full of smiles.

"You~"

Xia Yingren smiled, neither of them noticed, a girl of the same age was staring at them in the distance, with unwillingness and jealousy in her eyes.

"Welcome, did my father reply to the letterhead sent by the house recently? The day of the meeting of the three city lords is just a few days away, is he ready? ”

The two of them walked to the mansion, and Zuo Ci had already begun to help the city lord Zuo read these letterheads and deal with some government affairs. In the days when she is away, she naturally hopes that her father will leave her less.

Uncle Zuo replied for the most part, there was still some left, and he said that this time the Three Cities Lord will let you go. Said let you exercise and exercise, so that you can take over Rongcheng in the future. ”

Zuo Ci couldn't help but sigh when she heard it, her father was obviously lazy and wanted to push everything to her.

"Welcome... Well, I'll go find my father. It's been a long time since I've drunk the soup you've made, and I don't know if I've had the honor of letting you prepare an extra bowl. ”

Xia Yingren couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Then I'll send the soup to the city lord's study later, don't worry, I have your share."

Zuo Ci walked in the city lord's mansion, the peach blossom trees were planted on the side of the road, and it was a good scenery right now, and the city lord's study was down this road.

She pushed the door and saw that the city lord Zuo was opening the letterhead, and the moment she saw her, her eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior.

"O daughter! Come and save Dad, there are too many letterheads..."

Zuo Ci looked at the Zuo City Lord and couldn't help sighing, a few years ago, she knew that her father wanted to exercise her, but now she felt that her father must have been lazy.

"Got it, isn't this coming."

Zuo Ci took a stack of letterheads, sat down on a chair next to him, and began to read. The city lord Zuo looked at Zuo Ci's serious appearance, and his heart was a lot more steady.

Zuo Ci's mother died early, he hoped that Zuo Ci could take over Rongcheng smoothly, in recent days, he felt unwell, and there was suddenly no movement on the Xizhou side, he was worried that there would be a big move there, if there was a war, I don't know how many people in the city would suffer.

"Ah Ci, you know, my father wants you to take over Rongcheng. Give Rongcheng a stable sky and be able to protect the people. Recently, I feel unwell and tired, and I can rest assured that you would have taken over earlier. ”
