After finishing his shift, Su Qinchao went to the county lord's residence to find Li Yi, but she was not at home.

He heard from the housekeeper that he and Qi Min went to Jiangnan for fun a few days ago, so he had to give up the idea and go to the princess's mansion alone to find the young master.

"Recently, the young master likes to sit by the lake and read books." The little palace maid led Su Qinchao to the lake in the back garden and pointed to where the young master was.

At this time, the young master was holding his chin, staring at the sparkling lake in a daze.

The broken sunset shone through the leaves, sprinkling on his pale cheeks like broken gold, instantly making him look a little worldly.

Su Qinchao waved away the little palace maid, approached the young master calmly, and slowly sat on a stone not far from him.

Seeing that the young master really didn't notice him, he reached out and plucked a reed, and from time to time threw the broken stems into the water to create ripples.

As more and more stems appeared in the water, the young master's eyes gradually regained their spirit.

He turned to look at Su Qinchao, and when he saw it was him, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a tear fell from his eyes.

"Prince, can I take you out to play?" Su Qinchao threw the reed spike in his hand into the water, then stood up with a gentle look in his eyes.

The young master shook his head and continued to look at the lake. He didn't want to do anything.

"Go!" Su Qinchao didn't ask him whether he agreed or not, but hugged him in his arms. He had already asked the princess for permission when he came, and the princess told him to do it.

They did not bring any guards with them this time. Su Qinchao carried them the whole time. They first went to the prosperous market in the north of the city.

This place has all kinds of fun and delicious things, as well as many foreign imported products.

Especially the area where cockfighting, monkey shows and magic tricks are performed is extremely lively.

However, these obviously did not arouse the interest of the young master. He kept nestling in Su Qinchao's arms listlessly, without any expression on his face.

Originally, Su Qinchao was thinking that if the young master was interested, they would choose a place to have dinner.

Seeing the young master like this, he took his men and rode out of the city on horseback.

It was still early in the morning, and there were still many farmers in the fields outside the city, bending over and sweating profusely as they worked on the farm.

This is the hottest time of the summer. If the crops in the fields did not need to be fertilized or weeded, they would not risk coming out in the heat.

"Prince, come down and take a walk!" Su Qinchao carried the man off the horse, took off his shoes and socks without saying a word, and put him on the ground so that he could feel the land under his feet more intuitively.

"How does it feel?"

"It's a little hot." The young master no longer avoided the question, but answered seriously. He had never experienced the feeling of taking off shoes and socks and standing directly on the ground.

He looked at the endless green wheat stretching across the mountains, and the heaviness in his heart seemed to be relieved a little.

In just two months, he lost his mother and his father, and the world turned upside down before his eyes.

He only knew that he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to do.

However, he suddenly thought of it just now. He pulled Su Qinchao's sleeve, and when Su Qinchao bent down to listen, he whispered in his ear:

"I want to learn martial arts." He had heard the nanny beside his mother say that his mother's illness was strange, and when he thought of the concubine who was deeply loved by his father, he had a vague guess in his heart.

A few days ago, he heard from the maid in the princess's mansion that His Majesty had decided to attack the Dangxiang and capture his father.

Although it has not been finalized due to the opposition of the ministers, he wants to grow up quickly and avenge his mother!

"Okay, when I get back I will report to the princess and ask her to find a master to teach you." Su Qinchao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he finally spoke.

"I want you to teach me!" The young master shook his head and looked at him steadily. He still remembered that it was General Su who protected him all the way to Chang'an, and he only trusted him.

"it is good!"

After finally getting the young master to open up his heart, Su Qinchao took the opportunity to take them for a stroll to let him relax, but during this stroll he forgot the time.

By the time Su Qinchao sent the young master back to the princess's mansion, the lights had already come on and he could not go home tonight.

Su Qinchao touched his hungry stomach, found a small stall to eat, and then returned to the courtyard in the south of the city.

This place was still the same as when Guanqi was here, without any changes, except for a small piece of torn red gauze hanging on the edge of the bed.

Not knowing how Guanqi was doing in Japan, or whether he could get used to the life there, Su Qinchao lay on the couch, closed his eyes, and covered his face with the quilt.

He still remembered that the last time he went there, Guanqi didn't like Japanese food very much.

 …

While Su Qinchao was thinking about this, Guanqi on the other side was leading his men and horses, braving the heavy rain to deliver supplies to a remote village in Japan that had been successfully replaced.

Because the village is so remote and poor, there are not many usable supplies and food in the village, and everything has to be delivered by the chess envoys stationed in Tokyo.

"Sir, the rain is really too heavy. We must find a place to take shelter."

Seeing that the cart carrying the supplies was once again stuck in the mud and unable to move, the young man escorting the supplies had to find Guanqi, who was leading the way in front, to explain.

"Is it stuck again?" Guanqi turned around, looked at the stuck wheel, and sighed in his heart.

The weather in Japan is not stable. It was sunny when we set out today, but we didn't expect it to start raining halfway through the journey. Now the whole convoy is soaked.

"See that thatched hut in front? If you work harder, you can rest there!"

Guanqi pointed at a thatched hut dozens of meters away and shouted loudly, then squatted down and prepared to lift the stuck wheel out with others.

"One, two, three, up! One, two, three, up!"

"Okay, almost there, let's try again, one, two, three!" With everyone working together, they finally managed to push the cart to a flat area.

"Hey! I'm finally out!" The young man touched his face. The rain was so heavy that he could hardly open his eyes.

"Okay, let's go, we'll be able to rest soon!"

When they finally arrived at the thatched hut, they found that the roof of the house had long been in tatters, with only a two or three meter area that was not leaking.

"Still hiding from the rain, sir?" The young man looked at the situation inside the house and didn't know what to do for a moment. The place was so small that people could hide but supplies could not.

"Hide! Have someone put the supplies in the house, and then follow me to hide under the eaves." Guanqi looked around and found that the eaves were still intact.

Although it can't completely block the rain, it can at least block most of it.

"Yes!"

The rain continued for a long time after they took shelter in the hut, and it only cleared up towards evening.

Everyone hurriedly got their carts back on the road. Fortunately, it was summer and the land dried quickly. In just quarter of an hour they saw the village.
