Xie Yu wanted to return to the Gongfu after saying goodbye to the Nine Fan Order, but it was already night, Ju Yunbo said that the curfew had been started, so it was better for Xie Yu to stay in the Nine Fan Division for the night today.

Xie Yu politely declined the gratitude of the acting sheriff of Luoyi, he had to rush to the Gongyi Mansion as soon as possible, and then inform the Gongyi couple of all the circumstances at this time... There will be no danger for the time being.

Ju Yunbo agreed, and he sent two An Wuwei guards to accompany Xie Yu back, one for safety, the second is to keep Xie Yu from being blocked by the patrolling night guards, and the third is also the rule.

Ju Yunbo did not send Wang Yun to follow him, because Wang Yun still had to report to work... And accept the next step of the course of action... The most important thing is that the dignified anti-thief lieutenant will not act as a guard... Although on the way back he was a guard... It's a joke.

Xie Yu walked on the streets of Luoyi, deserted, and only two or three nights guarded the lanterns to patrol back and forth.

Luoyi is not as prosperous as before.

In the past, after night fell quietly, the lights were still bright inside and outside. The breeze will blow from the west to the south, and the flags in front of the major liquor stores will turn back and forth with the rhythm of the wind... In the cooler season, the fog and rain will fall gently, and then the carved clumsy railings will be covered with layers of wetness... It's like a freshly cooked sheep paste. Even at night, there are still people coming and going in the streets, still laughing and making noise. Even in the cold night, it can't stop the heat in people's hearts. The cries will not stop when they arrive, one after another. The stalls along the street in the East Market will be surrounded by people, and the painting boat will also swim in the lake, where two or three talented people will chant poems against each other, attracting the female companions in the boat to laugh again and again.

The upper reaches of the Luo River will float down a string of river lanterns, like stars in the sky... There will be a beautiful woman independent of the bridge, waiting for the appointment of the beloved.

Xie Yu sighed in his heart, and inexplicably gave birth to a trace of sorrow.

...

When he came to the gate of the Gongyi Mansion, Xie Yu bowed his hand and said goodbye to the two Anwu guards who escorted him, and then he stood up proudly, tightened the green gown that was already dirty and unsightly, tightened the belt with the long sword, and then reached out and wiped it on his waist... Nothing, he smiled dumbly. The two sets of white jade that he often wore had been lost on the day he went to the Luming Pavilion.

Xie Yu shook his head, stepped forward, and knocked on the door of the mansion.

Although it was already early days, Xie Yu guessed that the master of public loss had already received the news that he had returned from the Nine Fan Division.

Sure enough, as soon as he knocked on the door, a small servant shouted from inside the door.

"But Xie Shizi is back?"

"It's me. ”

Xie Yu responded.

There was a creaking sound behind the door, and it was the little guy lifting the doorpost.

"Xie Shizi, you can count it back. As soon as the door opened a small crack, the familiar 'impressive' fat face of Xie Yu, who was in charge of the house, appeared in Xie Yu's eyes. "Quick, come in. ”

When the door was fully opened, the steward stepped directly forward on the threshold of the mansion gate, bent down, and let Xie Yu enter the door.

Xie Yu was a little speechless, nodded, and stepped into the door.

"Are your aunts and uncles waiting for me in the inner hall?" Xie Yu asked.

"Yes. The steward nodded.

"Okay. Xie Yu nodded and walked straight in the direction of the inner hall.

The steward hurriedly trotted a few steps to keep up with Xie Yu's pace.

...

"Xie Shizi, you are not here these days, the lord and the lady are very worried about you and the young master..."The steward walked beside Xie Yu, a position slower than him. "Look at you, your body is thin, and you don't suffer much outside, right?"

"Hmm. Xie Yu nodded.

"Hey, what a sin, those bandits are really... There is no eye core to give birth to a child!" As soon as the steward heard Xie Yu's answer, he began to count the Qingtian bandits on the spot. "Look, your clothes are so dirty... It's mud on these shoes, too! Eh, your jade?"

"Lost it. ”

"Lost?" said the steward in astonishment. "That's priceless white fat jade! Those thieves are really not things!"

"Hmm. Xie Yu nodded. "Say whatever you want. ”

Xie Yu broke the purpose of the steward and asked directly.

The steward scratched his head, sneered, and asked, "I just want to ask... Little Master's side... Is it still safe?"

When the steward said this, Xie Yu could hear that he was asking with his heart... The heart is restless and trembling.

"Safe, he's safe. Xie Yu nodded fiercely. "If he's not safe, I won't go back to Luoyi... I guess I went desperately to avenge him. ”

"That's good, that's good. The steward patted his chest, and his mouth was full of broken thoughts, as if a stone had fallen to the ground in his heart, and his nervous nerves were much better.

"Xie Shizi..."

"Hmm. ”

The steward wanted to speak again, but he felt that Xie Yu didn't want to deal with him very much, so he closed his mouth honestly.

The two came all the way to the outer hall, and the steward stopped Xie Yu.

"Xie Shizi, do you want to take a shower first? The hot water is boiled, and the change of clothes is also prepared there. ”

"Nope. Xie Yu shook his head. "Uncle and aunt are still waiting for me, and I need to tell them the details as soon as possible. “

"But—" The steward began, with some embarrassment in his eyes.

"No, thank you for your kindness. Xie Yu shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.

"It was the lord and the lady who said that when you come back, you must take a shower and change your clothes comfortably before you go home... You've been out there for so many days, and we've all heard from the Nine Fan Order, the situation of nine deaths and one life... You are truly a hero. The steward stopped Xie Yu again and said.

"Home... "Xie Yu turned around, a little dazed. "Did Uncle and Aunt say so?"

"Yes, Lord and Madame are worried about you. The steward spoke.

"Hmm. Xie Yu nodded, did not go any further, but took off the clothes on his body and handed them to the steward in front of him. "It's really rude to go to meet the elders with improper clothes and untidy appearance, but I didn't think it through... Steward Li, please help me inform my uncle and aunt, and I will go to the inner hall after that. ”

"Okay, I'll go and report!" The steward seemed to be a little happy when he heard this, and left directly with Xie Yu's clothes... But after a while, he turned back again, summoned a small servant, and gave Xie Yu's clothes to him, instructing: "Take Xie Shizi to wash, and then go wash the clothes." ”

The little guy nodded again and again, and said yes.

Then the steward strode away again, his fat body dragging his long robe and walking briskly in the corridor, twisting and twisting, which made Xie Yu want to laugh a little.

He shook his head.
