The next morning, Lu Yao left the inn with the book boy.

Before leaving, he also left behind a hand-painted map of Liaodong County.

With this map, the three of them could find Xingning accurately.

As soon as Lu Yao and the guards of the county governor left, the inn suddenly became deserted.

The guests who lived in the past were all driven away by the guards, and now there are only three guests left in the inn: Yu curling, Angelica, and Luo Pingsha.

The innkeeper knew that the three of them had friendship with the eldest son of the county governor, and for fear of offending them, he delivered breakfast to their room in person, and said that the breakfast was given to them for free, hoping they could live here. joy.

Yu Weiwei looked at him and asked.

"I heard that King Min has come to Liaodong County. Is this true?"

The innkeeper did not dare to hide it and answered truthfully.

"It's true, there is also Prince Lang, you know Prince Lang, right?

It is the living King of Hell who is in charge of the Justice Department and has a very bad reputation.

I heard that this time he was under an order to escort King Min back to Liaodong County.

They passed by us before, and the battle was huge! "

Yu curling pretended to be curious and continued to ask.

"How long ago did they pass by? We are going to Xingning too. We are afraid of bumping into them and disturbing the nobles. We want to stagger the time with them."

"It was about three days ago. At your speed, you shouldn't be able to touch them. Don't worry."

Yu curled up in his heart: "Thank you."

The innkeeper: "Then I won't disturb your meal. If you have any other orders, just call and I'll be there whenever you need me."

After the shopkeeper left, Luo Pingsha unfolded the map and tapped the map with his fingertips.

"Now that we are here, we will continue to walk along this official road. If there is no accident, we will be able to reach Xingning in about four days."

Yu Weiwei swallowed the shrimp dumplings in his mouth: "We don't have much time, we have to speed up the next step. There may not be much time to stop and rest on the way. Angelica, does your wound still hurt?"

Angelica hurriedly said: "The pain is gone for a long time, and the wound is scabbed. Brother Luo said that my wound is about to heal."

Yu Weiwei was relieved: "That's good."

The three quickly finished their breakfast, then prepared dry food and water, and continued on their way.

Next, except for the necessary rest, they were on their way.

After four days of hard work, they finally saw the city gate of Xingning.

at the same time.

The county governor's mansion was overcast.

The county governor's wife, Mrs. Shu, was sitting at the table. She was only in her forties this year. Her hair was meticulously combed, with only two gold hairpins stuck between her buns.

She put half of the Buddhist scriptures she saw on the table, Liu Mei frowned, and asked with a sullen face.

"Is he still not going to change his mind?"

Mammy Zheng sighed: "No, the eldest son is determined this time, and insists on canceling the Tang family's marriage. He didn't eat a single bite of the food we sent, it's been a day and a night, and then this If it goes on, I'm afraid his body won't be able to support it."

Shu Shi didn't get angry, raised his hand and slammed the table, angrily.

"Does he think this can force me to compromise? Go tell him, even if he starves himself to death, I don't think it's possible for him to be fooled!"

Mammy Zheng hurriedly comforted her.

"Madam, don't say such angry words. The eldest son is your heart. How could you be willing to let him starve to death? We are all a family. How can there be any feud overnight? Let's calm down and think about countermeasures slowly."

As she spoke, she served a soothing hot tea.

Shu Shi took a sip of tea and felt that the breath in his heart was a little smoother.

she said coldly.

"Yun Zhong is from my son, I understand his temperament.

He had long known that he had a marriage contract with Tang Guixi, but he had never shown an attitude of rejection before.

This shows that he is able to accept that he will marry Tang Guixi as his wife.

Now that he suddenly proposed to withdraw from his relatives, there must be a reason for this. "

Mother Zheng: "What do you mean?"

Shu Shi said slowly.

"We are all past people. We all know in our hearts that the only thing that can make a man insist on not getting married can only be that he meets another woman, a woman who makes him want to marry more."

Mammy Zheng reacted quickly and said immediately.

"This time, Lu Shiliu escorted the eldest son back, so I'll have someone call him over and ask."

Shu Shi nodded slightly: "Go."

Madam Zheng left in a hurry.

Shu shi squeezed the corner of his forehead, his eyes full of annoyance.

Before her son came back, she thought about it day and night, waiting for her son to come back soon.

Now that her son is finally back, before she can be happy for a long time, the boy even shouted that he wanted to retire.

The relationship between the Lu family and the Tang family is very important. It is like a rope that binds the two families firmly together, and it is absolutely impossible to break it.

If Lu Yao's father knew about this, he would definitely break Lu Yao's legs!

Now the only thing that makes the Shu family happy is that Lu Yao's father accompanied Prince Min and Prince Lang to Xiangtai, and he couldn't come back for a while.

She had to smother Lu Yao's desire to retire from his relatives before Lu Yao's father came back.

Soon, Madam Zheng brought Lu Shiliu back.

Shu asked.

"You sent Yun Zhong back this time, did you see anyone following him?"

Lu Shili hesitated.

Mammy Zheng immediately said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Now that the master is not at home, the madam is in charge of all the affairs of the house. You must not make the madam angry."

Lu Shiliu had to tell the truth.

"When my subordinates found the eldest son, they saw three people beside him, one man and two women, who were said to be three brothers and sisters.

They were also coming to Xingning, and they met the eldest son on the way, so they traveled with their companions. "

Shu continued to ask, "What are the identities of the three siblings? What are their names?"

Lu Shili shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then do you remember what they looked like?"

This time, Lu Shili nodded: "Remember."

Shu Shi sneered: "Very good, you take someone to guard near the city gate, as long as you see the three brothers and sisters entering the city, take them directly."

Lu Shiliu hesitated: "The eldest son has a good relationship with those three siblings. If the eldest son finds out about this, I'm afraid he will be angry."

Shu Shi: "You just do as I say, and I will be responsible for anything that happens."

Lu Shiliu complained in his heart.

That's what Madam said, but after all, she is the mother of the eldest son. When the eldest son really wants to be held accountable, he must not dare to do anything to her. In the end, he is the cannon fodder who is unlucky.

But Madam's attitude was very strong. Now that the county governor is not in the mansion, Lu Shiliu had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.

"This subordinate will do it."

It was also a coincidence that Lu Shiliu had just brought his people to the vicinity of the city gate when he saw the three of them.
