The speed of the official ship was very fast, and all the checkpoints along the way were "green light" to be released, and it took only two days to arrive at the dock in Kyoto.

Looking up at the Xiongcheng in front of him, Bai Yu was deeply shocked, the black city wall was hundreds of meters high, like the body of a black dragon, stretching with no end in sight, giving people a heavy, thick, and indestructible sense of oppression.

With tears in their eyes, the officials quickly led the mules and horses off the boat, just wanting to get home as soon as possible.

Bai Yu asked the young officer to take his horse down, but he didn't know what was going on, his horse was a little irritable, the young officer didn't hold it, and his horse ran straight to the back of Zheng Yan'er's beautiful white horse's ass and sniffed.

Zheng Yan'er was stunned, and then she was furious, and "sonorous" pulled out her long sword and wanted to slaughter the horse that was patrolling.

Bai Yu hurriedly ran over and led the horse away, apologizing and explaining that "maybe winter is coming soon" and scolding the "evil animal", it was not easy to save its life.

Zheng Yan'er's clear eyes glared at Bai Yu like a knife, Rao is temperament was so generous that her face turned red, so many people on the dock looked at it.

The young Jinyi Wei Qianhu looked at Bai Yu with a frown, but he didn't say anything.

What do you think of me as this? Bai Yu shouted in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this horse was worth more than ten taels of silver, he would also want to slaughter this horse, which not only annoyed Zheng Yan'er, but also offended the "lover" who had a good impression of others.

Bai Yu said goodbye to a few adults, and hurried away with sixteen officials.

After walking away, the officials couldn't help but laugh out loud like a fart "poof".

Bai Yu glared at them angrily.

The old servant smiled and said, "My lord, this horse has spirituality, and you and the girl from the Demon Slayer Division may have a fate in the future." ”

Bai Yu said lightly, "My son is in his teens, what fate can he have?" ”

The old servant thought about it, and didn't say anything more, so he just made a joke at will.

When they arrived in Qifeng County, Bai Yu and the officials separated and went back to their respective homes.

He specially instructed them not to tell the matter of "ten years in one night", the court may have to keep it secret, and when others ask about it, they will say that they will do errands for the court.

As for the problem of not "getting old" after ten years, let them not have to explain, ten years is not short, and it is not very long, and no "getting old" can only mean that it is well maintained, everyone is an adult, and it is normal that there is no change in ten years, and children will change a lot.

Bai Yu didn't go home directly, because he didn't know what kind of person He Zhiyu was, he could barely get along with those subordinate officials, and it was not so easy to get along with his family, so he had to inquire carefully.

first came to the deserted forest, tied the horse, changed the official clothes, changed them into regular clothes, and then switched to "Tiger Character Card", becoming his original handsome and handsome appearance.

Although He Zhiyu is also a little handsome, there is still a big gap with him.

Then, Bai Yu came to a tea shop at the mouth of Hongfeng Alley on the ancient street, ordered a pot of tea, drank it slowly, and talked to the boss while laughing, chatting and fartizing.

The conversation was almost familiar, and Bai Yu said seemingly casually, "I heard that there used to be an inspector living in this red maple alley, and for some reason I left the orphans and widows and never came back." ”

The owner of the tea shop is a little old man, and he seems to like to chatter too, and he talks while wiping the table.

"The orphans and widows are pitiful, but the widow is beautiful and good-looking, and there are disciples who harass her every three or five days, but fortunately, the patrol is usually righteous, and there are a few righteous brothers, who teach those disciples a lesson, and the widow has a lot of peace.

It's just that there is no man in the family, there is no source of livelihood, and the life is bitter, fortunately, I am skillful, I often do some boudoir embroidery to sell, and I can barely get by. ”

Bai Yu asked, "Why did someone come to the door to ask for a kiss, and was the inspection sure that he was dead?" ”

The little old man looked left and right at no one, "Some people say that they escorted a group of exiles to the Northern Wilderness and were eaten by wild beasts in the wasteland, and some people said that they had died on any mission, and they said that they had everything." ”

Bai Yu probably knew it in his heart, it seemed that the court had blocked the news of the mysterious disappearance of the exiles ten years ago, and not many people knew the truth.

The little old man looked back and felt strange, "Inquire about these, should you be so young that you should also worry about other people's widows, listen to the old man's advice, although other people's widows are beautiful and good-looking, but after all, you are more than ten years older, not suitable, it is not difficult for you to find a suitable girl for this condition." ”

"What are you old man thinking about, how can I, just ask casually."

Bai Yu took out a copper coin, put it on the table, and got up to leave.

Then, Bai Yu changed a few places, knocked on the side to inquire about He Zhiyu, and came to the conclusion: he is righteous, has a good relationship with his neighbors, and often buys small gifts for his wife.

Bai Yu used the little silver left to buy a hosta and a few packs of snacks, returned to the forest, changed back into official clothes, changed back to He Zhiyu's appearance, rode on a horse and swaggered into Qifeng County, announcing his safe return in such a high-profile way.

"Ho...... Ho Lord? ”

"It's really Lord He, Lord He didn't die in the Northern Wilderness, he came back alive!" ......

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not react at first, but they were surprised to see him wearing official clothes and recognize him by looking twice.

Bai Yu's face turned pale, "Who said that this official died in the Northern Wilderness?" The official just went to do the affairs of the imperial court, and it was delayed for some years. ”

The officers and soldiers hurriedly laughed.

"It's all nonsense."

"It's been ten years, Lord He looks almost unchanged, and the maintenance is really good." ......

Bai Yu scolded a few words and rode into the city.

As he passed by the street, some people recognized him and were surprised.

"That's Who?"

"Lord He didn't die, he came back alive!"

"Oh my God, I've been a little older for ten years, and Lord He is still so young, he still looks like he's in his twenties." ......

When they arrived at the mouth of Hongfeng Alley, the little old man in the tea shop was stunned, and someone inquired about the "widow" in the alley just now, and the owner of the house came back.

"What's the matter, old Yang Tou, do you have flowers on the official's face, looking at the official like this."

Bai Yu had changed his identity just now, so he naturally knew what the old man in this tea shop was called.

Entering the alley, as expected, the neighbors were also surprised and surprised, and gathered around to ask questions, which were nothing more than "where has Lord He been all these years", "Lord He is still so young" and so on.

Bai Yu said a few words of greeting, and led the horse straight to the fifth courtyard.

Seeing a woman inside digging well water to wash clothes, she was about thirty years old, even if she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she couldn't hide her beautiful appearance, and what was even more commendable was that she had an indescribable charm, like a white lotus blooming in the ruins.

In fact, her name also bears the lotus character, Tao Yulian.

was born so beautiful, and she was a "widow", no wonder those disciples always harassed her, Bai Yu thought secretly.

As if hearing the movement, Tao Yulian looked up and saw that a strand of hair was scattered on her fair face, and she was a little more feminine, and she was stunned when she saw Bai Yu standing at the door.

Bai Yu smiled at her, trying to make his smile as warm as possible.

Tao Yulian's face turned pale, her body was trembling, and she hurriedly wiped the water stains on her hands on her coarse cloth clothes, "Old ...... The master is back, I shouldn't have eaten yet, I'll go cook for the master. ”

With that, she walked into a low room next to her, which looked like a kitchen.

Bai Yu felt strange, her reaction was wrong.

When I see my husband come home after a long absence for ten years, shouldn't I have a hug that tears of joy?

Why did she look scared?

Did you find out about impersonation? It's impossible to find out, at least not for the time being, the character card belongs to the perfect level of appearance, body shape, and voice, even if it can be discovered, it won't be so fast.

Or did she hide another man in the house?

It's possible.

Bai Yu led the horse into the yard, tied it up, and then walked around a few rooms, although it looked simple, it was neatly tied, and there was no trace of other men, so the reason for her fear was not this.

"Although the Daqian Dynasty is not a normal dynasty, it also has a bit of male superiority and inferiority, maybe He Zhiyu is more macho at home...... So she was afraid of her husband. ”

Bai Yu thought about it, only this was possible.
