The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, Ye Lingwu sneezed a little, covered his nose and said, "This medicine smells so bad." ”

Rong Xiu looked at the medicine bottle on the desk and said, "Girl, should we still take the medicine sent by Scholar Jiang?" ”

Ye Lingwu thought about it: "I haven't said a few words to him, but he is quite kind to send me medicine, take it first, I see that this year's Southern Regions is not much warmer than the capital." ”

The next morning, the sky was white, and the canal was not as cold as last night, but it was still cold, and there were boats of all sizes docked on the shore, and the willows were bare, and only the branches were still swinging in the wind.

Ye Lingwu pushed open the window and looked down, There are many black flag guards standing on the shore, some holding long knives, some carrying arrow feathers on their backs, obviously it is daytime but it gives people the feeling of black oppression.

Not far away, there stood a pitch-black cage, two high-headed black horses with four hooves and snow treads, in which seven or eight thieves were detained.

Yue Yang and Qin Xiao were guarding the edge of the cage car.

At this time, Shen Zhan led several black flag guards to disembark from the board of the ship and went straight to the cage car, looking from a distance, the golden crown on the man's head reflected in the sunlight, which was very dazzling.

Yue Yang stepped forward and hugged his fists, the distance was too far and he didn't know what to say, Ye Lingwu was about to close the window, but saw Shen Zhan looking back at her.

With just a glance, Shen Zhan quickly looked away, took the reins from the Black Flag Guard, turned over his horse, and took the lead in leaving.

Not long after, the building ship of the Ningbei Hou Mansion continued to set sail, not far away there was a big ship of the Black Flag Guard to follow, the two ships headed towards Yusu City, and the building boat arrived at Yusu Wharf in less than half an hour.

There is still some distance from the wharf to the city, and the convoy of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei lined up a full 100 meters long on the official road.

Ye Lingwu leaned against the carriage window, wearing a hood covering his face on his head, and couldn't help but look out.

The folk customs of the Southern Regions are strict, and women are not allowed to show their faces outside, and borders such as Guilty Moon are better, but like Yu Huancheng, which is subordinate to Huainan, the rules used to frame the girls who have not left the pavilion can not be said for three days and three nights.

Yuhuan City is a hundred-year-old city, it is the largest city in Huainan, the city wall is magnificent and huge, from the bottom to the top is almost towering into the clouds, there are twelve city gates along the city wall stretching along the high mountain.

After the chaos last month, the twelve gates of Yuhuan City were heavily guarded, and it was difficult to find a bone in the egg if you wanted to enter the city.

Ye Lingwu received a reply from the little guy sent to the front to investigate, and hurriedly stepped on the stool and dismounted, and walked towards the first carriage, when he happened to see Mama Xuan open the curtain and look around.

She said: "Mama Xuan, the city gate is under martial law, and the people who enter the city must be checked one by one before they can be released. ”

"How could it be so long?" Mama Xuan frowned.

Ye Lingwu said: "It is said that there was a big chaos in the city last month, and everyone who entered the city recently had to carefully check the customs clearance documents." ”

"That's going to take too much time." As she spoke, Mama Xuan turned her head to look at Mrs. Shen beside her.

Ye Lingwu was not as tall as he could see Old Lady Shen's expression, so he hesitated: "Why don't you let the little guy take the token of the Ningbei Hou Mansion and talk to the guards at the city gate, so that he can be accommodating?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Huai stepped down from the carriage behind him, and slowly stepped forward and said: "I'm afraid that Miss Ye's words are inappropriate, Yu Huancheng has just experienced a catastrophe, and it is natural for the vehicles to be routinely checked, even if it is the Hou Mansion." ”

Mama Xuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, glanced at Mrs. Shen without a trace, and replied after understanding: "What Scholar Jiang said is good, then follow what Scholar Jiang said, let's wait patiently." ”

After that, put down the warm curtain.

Ye Lingwu turned around and was about to leave, but heard Jiang Yuan say: "Miss Ye is in better health, I don't know if last night's medicine will help you?" ”

Ye Lingwu paused and said, "It's much better, thank you Scholar Jiang for giving me the medicine last night." ”

Jiang Yuan said: "You're welcome. ”

It was four hours before I saw the shadow of the city gate when the sky was dark.

And just two hours ago, Shen Pan'er, who had been waiting impatiently, secretly found a horse, passed the crowd of carriages and horses in front of him and went straight to the city gate.

Arriving at the city gate, the customs clearance documents of the Ningbei Hou Mansion and Jiang Yuan only took a minute to check and then released.

This matter can make Qin Mingyu angry enough, obviously it is a matter of moving her mouth, but she has waited for four hours, but this proposition was made by Jiang Yuan, even if she complains, she can only complain a few words in the carriage.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion of Ningbei swayed into the city, and after the carriage of the Jiang family entered the city, they parted ways and went to the Zhizhou Mansion in Yusu City.

The city was bustling with people and did not look like it had just experienced turmoil, and there were few little girls in the streets, but many women engaged in business.

Ye Lingwu put down the curtains, took off his hat, looked at Shen Yue'er beside him and said, "This Yu Sucheng is really strange, he has a lot of requirements for girls who have not left the cabinet, why don't you restrict women from coming out to do business?" ”

Shen Yue'er said: "The Huainan area has always been like this, especially in the places where there are many famous families in Huainan, it is obvious that they stick to the old rules, stubborn and rigid, according to them, the rules left by the ancestors can not be broken." ”

Ye Lingwu was silent and scoffed.

The carriage swayed all the way towards Shen Zhan's rented house in Yusu City.

I saw a piece of blue brick and tile courtyard mansion, the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, the flying phoenix corrugated carved beast under the eaves, enter the door and let go, only to see the high building and long beams, the house is wide and the roof is open, the wealth visible to the naked eye, and the style and grace everywhere.

The courtyard is like a heavenly palace, but it is unbelievably empty and deserted. Except for the two neat and solemn guards passing by, there was not a single servant envoy in sight.

The group headed towards the hall. Only the little maid was left to carry the luggage, and the female envoy was responsible for taking care of a few small courtyards, while Mama Xuan and Ye Lingwu still took on the responsibility of commanding.

The night wind kept whistling, and Ye Lingwu saw that Mama Xuan's face was not good-looking, after all, the carriage and horses had been tired for a day, so she could only persuade her to rest in the hall first, and she was in the outer courtyard.

Mama Xuan was also relieved, and entered the house after two sentences.

Half an hour passed, and the luggage on the carriage was almost moved, and Ye Lingwu stood under the plaque of the mansion, holding the warm hand warmer in his hand.

Rong Xiu stood beside her, frowned and said, "Girl, this luggage is almost finished, you should also hurry into the house to warm up, there are slaves guarding here." ”

Ye Lingwu said: "No need, since the old lady told me to do things, I naturally have to do a good job." ”

She watched as the two servants carried the last of the mahogany boxes out of the carriage, and was about to turn around and enter the house, when she heard the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves in the street, and when she looked back, all she could do was the sound of the reins of the horses.

The black flag guards who came on horseback surrounded the entire mansion, and then saw Shen Zhan riding a red horse coming in the wind, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he tightened the reins neatly, turned over and dismounted, and did it in one go, cleanly.

He is covered with a dark coat, heaps of fox velvet on his shoulders, and walks with the wind, but he gives people a feeling that his pace is extremely steady and heavy, and only those who are in a high position can feel.

Ye Lingwu had a calm face and took a step to the side.
