After Amber, Zhu Mingyu and Li Fenglan converged, the group marched towards Chang'an.

It was also February, and it was also this time when I went to Chang'an last year. I went to Chang'an twice, the purpose was completely different, and even the mood was different.

…

In the Xilaike Restaurant, the proprietress Mu Na held a plate in her hand and walked among the noisy guests. Although she is very busy, she still has a sweet smile on her face. This smile is not like the insincere smile in Suzhou, but now she is very satisfied with her current life.

Since settling in Chang'an last year, the business of Xilaike has been booming. Those rich young people and sons of Chang'an have to come several times a month in order to experience the pure Western Regions. Later, Xilaike expanded its business, bought the two stores next door, and even started the accommodation business.

Those people from the Western Regions who were displaced in the Central Plains were collected by her, and they all stayed in the Western Visitors as partners.

A young man from the Western Regions with a mustache walked quickly to Mu Na's side and said two big words. Mu Na nodded, handed the tray to the young man, and went upstairs herself.

Outside the innermost guest room on the second floor, Mu Na stood at the door and whispered, "Childe, can I come in?"

A man's voice came from inside the room, "Oh, come in."

Mu Na pushed the door and entered, only to see two men sitting in the room. One was as tall as a bear's waist, and the beard on his face was connected to his sideburns. The other has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, like a good son in the turbid world.

The man with the tiger's back laughed twice and said, "Qingchen, this is the woman from the Western Regions that you and Ayahan saved in Suzhou?"

Xu Qingchen nodded: "Yes, three...... Muna, we're hiding from you, so we won't cause you trouble, right?"

Mu Na hurriedly said, "How come? Childe is very kind, Mu Na is toothless and unforgettable, you are just hiding here, it doesn't matter."

"Actually," Xu Qingchen said, "the people of Chang'an are not familiar with the two of us, and there are not many people who know us, so it's okay to live anywhere. However, I am reassured of you, so I have come to you."

Mu Na smiled: "Childe can rest assured to live here, there are my people inside and out, and there will be no leaks." You've been here all morning, do you want something to eat?"

Xiong San said heartily: "I'm really hungry when you say that, I have heard that the roast leg of lamb from the visitors from Chang'an West is good, bring us two."

"Okay, I'll get someone ready."

Mu Na turned around and walked towards the door, and when she reached the door, she turned around and asked Xu Qingchen, "Childe, isn't Miss Ayahan with you?"

At the mention of Ayahan, the smile on Xu Qingchen's face was obviously much happier: "She is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to move around, so I didn't let her follow."

Mu Na's eyes lowered slightly, but soon changed back to a smile: "Congratulations to the son, I'm going to hug a big fat boy this year."

Xu Qingchen smiled and nodded: "Borrow your auspicious words."

Xu Qingchen and Xiong San, as the vanguard of the Thorn Gate, did not arrive at the West Guest first after arriving in Chang'an, but first contacted the Bai family's secret agents here, and initially understood the Yuan family's movements before settling down in the West.

Today's Yuan family has long been a mess.

After the year, some children of the Yuan family took the opportunity to go out to visit friends, and after two months, the Yuan family, which was originally a few hundred people, has already gone for more than half. The small ones can go, but those old guys are not so lucky, and they don't dare to let go of such a big family business as the Yuan family.

Earlier, there were rumors in Chang'an that the Yuan family was ready to present the heads of Yuan Fengling's father and daughter to Changfeng Tower in order to protect themselves. But now it seems that instead of doing this, these people listened to Yuan Fengchi's words very much. There was no way, he got on the thief ship, and now he has to believe that Yuan Fengchi still has a backhand.

Although I thought so, two months have passed, and there are already many people from Changfeng Tower and Thorn Gate in Chang'an City today, but Miss Yuan's reinforcements are still missing.

Even if she pretends to be calm in front of outsiders, when she is alone, the inexplicable sense of fear will still make her uneasy, and even a little nervous, afraid of hearing any noise beyond her expectations.

The face in the mirror was still unassailable, though it was already twenty

head, but she still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Yuan Fengling was holding an eyebrow pencil in his hand and was carefully drawing his eyebrows. She has a lot of maids, and there are seven of them who specialize in grooming and dressing her, but she never asks them to help her put on makeup, she can't believe it.

The eyebrow pencil was moving gently over her beauty, when suddenly, a very slight "click" sound burst into her ears.

Yuan Fengling angrily threw his eyebrow pencil on the ground and shouted, "Who?!"

Maybe something fell to the ground, maybe there were rats, but it was just an inconsequential sound.

Ruri heard the sound and came in and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Who else was outside the house besides you?" Yuan Fengchi's eyes were round, as if he wanted to eat people.

Liuli shook her head: "No, miss, since the new year, no one has entered your house except me."

Yuan Fengjing closed his eyes and gently kneaded his eyebrows. Her father and mother were sent to her grandmother's house, and she didn't want them to come back and follow her adventure. Although the current Yuan family is dominated by her, she can't trust anyone, and recently she even feels that the personal maid Liuli may betray her.

"Liuli," Yuan Fengling asked in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about taking my head to change your future with Changfeng Tower?"

Ruri shook her head silently, but did not answer.

Yuan Fengling's mood suddenly collapsed: "You must have thought about it! Follow me and there will be no avail! There will be no place to die! How old are you this year? Eighteen years old? Or nineteen?"

Ruri replied, "Miss, I'm twenty years old this year."

"Twenty years old! Great years! Will you be willing to die with me?! You've figured out how to betray me!"

Liuli was not annoyed, and said patiently, "Miss, I know your heartstrings have been very tight lately."

"You don't know anything!" Yuan Fengling suddenly scattered the bottles and cans on the dresser, "I just don't want to marry someone I don't like!" I just want to choose for myself! Why didn't they promise me?! Yuan Jiankang, an old immortal, thinks he can control everything, and thinks he can control me! You want to control my fate! Which of those uncles didn't treat me as a pearl in my palm when I was a child?! But at the critical moment, they want to dispose of me as garbage! My dad didn't even dare to fight for my future! I'm a fart Miss Yuan! He's going to marry me to a fool! Fool!"

Liuli bent down to pick up the bottles and cans on the ground, and said lightly, "Miss, I didn't think you could win from the beginning...... You are a rude and willful lady, never thinking about others, those good things, you think you deserve them with peace of mind. You're twenty-two years old, and you're still like a child...... Actually, Wei Shaoxia is very good, honest, willing to stand up for you, and will not betray you for the rest of his life, if you choose him at the beginning, the Yuan family will not be like this."

Liuli had already packed up those things, and she looked at Yuan Fengling quietly: "But I don't think there's anything wrong with you like this, back then...... If it weren't for your willful attempt to bring me back to the Yuan family, I would probably have frozen to death in the streets and alleys of Chang'an. If you don't accept Wei Zhengyang, you won't accept it, if you want to kill Yuan Jiankang, you can kill it, and if you want to mess up the Yuan family, you can also do it. Miss, I'll be there for you."

Looking at the woman in front of her who was picked up by her, Yuan Fengling's tears couldn't hold back, and she felt extremely aggrieved: "I regret it...... I regret a lot of things, Ruri, can I get it back?"

Liuli shook her head: "Miss, it can't be recovered...... I have already thought of a way out for you, and when they enter Chang'an, you will leave. I haven't spent the money you gave me over the years, and I can still spend the rest of my life in peace and stability if I save a little."

"A way out? Where do you want me to go?"

Ruri shook her head, "Miss, I don't know."

"You don't know? You're not going to take me away?"

"When the time comes...... I'm dead, and I'll have to take care of myself from now on. Do you remember what I told you when you were 10 years old?"

Yuan Fengchi's eyes were a little blurry: "What?"

"Vegetables in the market are cheaper in the afternoon than in the morning. As for the clothes, you can wear it by sewing and mending. Don't pretend to have a lot of money on you when you go out

The wicked shall bow their heads...... I'll go back and think about what else there is, and you have to remember it when the time comes, so that you can live."

Yuan Fengling finally couldn't help crying out loud, Liuli gently hugged her head and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it's not the last step yet. Miss, you are very clever enough to think of a way to save you."

…

Tan Wushuang and Fu Xiaohu came to Chang'an for the first time, and their mood at the moment was naturally not as shocked as when they went to Luoyang for the first time, and the two of them calmed down a lot.

"Fat Tan, do you remember clearly?" Fu Xiaohu rode on his horse and looked at Tan Wushuang with a complaining expression.

Tan Wushuang looked at the letter in his hand with a sad face, and scratched the back of his head with one hand: "I remember...... This is it...... Why don't they let us in?"

Fu Xiaohu was helpless: "You can see it clearly, the big family in Chang'an just now is obviously a big family, and the gate is more magnificent than the Bai family. Do you think your sister Bailing can hide in such a swaggering place? …… Believe in me."

Fu Xiaohu pulled the letter and muttered, "It's been out for so long, and I'm still stupid, not as smart as Xiaofu. Before I came, Xiaofu knew to prepare some essential items for me...... Hey, hey, hey!"

Fu Xiaohu was angry: "Take a closer look, it's Yong'an Fang! It's not Union Square!"

Tan Wushuang slapped his head: "Blame me, I didn't see it clearly."

The two turned their horses' heads and walked towards Yong'an Fang.

After walking for most of the day, I finally found the right place, a narrow alley, in which there was a less conspicuous family.

At the door, the door opened, and they saw a familiar face.

Tan Wushuang couldn't help but exclaim, "He Nannan!"

He Nannan couldn't help shouting, "Fat Tan! Little Tiger! You're finally here!"

At this time, a woman's soft cough came from the courtyard: "Nan Nan, how many times have I told you, don't shout, let people hear."

Not long after, Tan Wushuang and Fu Xiaohu saw Tang Bailing walking towards them with a grim face.

Tan Wushuang immediately said excitedly, "Sister Bailing."

Tang Bailing beckoned: "Come to the house and say...... Nan Nan, see if anyone is watching outside."
