This sleep was extremely peaceful, with no dreams all night, and I woke up refreshed.

Leng Qiyu waited for Su Chengjing and Yu Chiqiu to wake up from a full sleep before ordering people to pack their things.This group of people is one in a million masters, who have received the same training as Chen Hua, but within a short time, they have cleaned up the place where they stayed last night without leaving any traces.Zhuang Pu stepped forward and whispered something to Leng Qiyu, Leng Qiyu's eyes flashed suddenly, he glanced at Yuchiqiu, and nodded. "Let's go, let's go back to Ningzhou."

Yu Chiqiu and An Yanheng stood far away, and after bowing to Leng Qiyu, they kept their distance, and even Su Chengjing never spoke to him.Su Chengjing keenly sensed that this was unusual, and gestured to Yu Chiqiu for him to follow, and he walked beside Leng Qiyu first. "Uncle."

Leng Qiyu frowned slightly, but when she answered Su Chengjing, her voice was normal: "What's the matter?"

Su Chengjing thought for a while, and asked, "What did Uncle Zhuang tell you just now, is it related to Ah Qiu?"

"You seem to be very interested in Mr. Yuchi?" Leng Qiyu asked back, observing Su Chengjing's expression for a moment of avoidance and uneasiness, his heart was like a mirror, and he still didn't point it out, "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, go back to Ning first Let's talk about it."

Su Chengjing was speechless for a moment.He was brought up by Leng Qiyu since he was a child, and he knows what this emperor's uncle can do best. Since he said don't ask, if he keeps asking, not only will he not get the answer he wants, but he may hide even his little thoughts. Can't stop.

Yu Chiqiu followed behind, just staring at Su Chengjing's back in a daze. Surrounded by experts brought by Leng Qiyu, they were very good at hiding. Apart from the slight rustling sound like wind blowing leaves, there was no abnormal sound at all. Can't hear.

The way down the mountain was much shorter than the way up. Su Chengjing and others ran away for two days and one night, only then did they realize how many detours they had taken.As early as last night, Zhuang Pu sent people to find out the nearest route, followed the markers, and within half a day, he turned out of Ningcheng Mountain, and Ningzhou City was far away.

The original Luo character flag at the head of Ningzhou city was replaced with Chu character flag, and it was obvious that Xiu Mochen had completely controlled Ningzhou.Leng Qiyu ordered Zhuang Pu to dismiss his masters, and each disguised himself to disperse and hide, lurking in various places inside and outside Ningzhou City, leaving only a few personal guards by his side for emergencies.

Su Chengjing knew that this was Leng Qiyu's habit, except for these few most trustworthy people, he didn't like to be surrounded by too many people. personal action.

The group did not enter Ningzhou City, but went straight to the other courtyard of the Wangfu at the foot of Ningcheng Mountain.

The other courtyard of the Wangfu has been protected by Xiu Mochen's men and horses, knowing that Leng Qiyu and his party have come back, they have already opened the gate and waited, so Xiu Mochen and Leng Anyu came out side by side.

Leng Anyue was already worried, but seeing Su Chengjing come back safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Leng Qiyu next to him, she was even more delighted. Regardless of the etiquette, she jumped up first and grabbed Leng Qiyu's clothes corner, and shouted: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, you are back."

Leng Qiyu nodded with a smile, and she didn't blame him for being rude: "Yes, An Yue."

Leng Anyue was about the same height as Leng Qiyu, but Leng Anyue lowered her body slightly habitually, and looked up at Leng Qiyu: "The emperor came all the way, but he went to the third brother first and asked Uncle Chu to rescue him." Me." He joked like a baby, unable to hide the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

Su Chengjing was a little uneasy at first, and looked back at Yu Chiqiu's movements from time to time. Just as he didn't know what to say, when Leng Anyue mentioned him, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Save you... By the way, An Yue, you are doing well here. What happened?"

Leng Anyue said: "Don't worry, third brother, Uncle Chu came in time, nothing happened." Speaking of this, his eyes dodged Leng Qiyu, as if he wanted to hide something, turned his back, took a breath, "The third brother also returned safely, that's all right."

Leng Qiyu saw the difference, so she didn't point it out, she just glanced at Xu Mochen, who smiled helplessly. "Okay, okay, go in and talk, what are you doing standing in front of this door?"

"Okay." Leng Anyue was the first to respond, "I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, let's go eat first." He had already seen Yu Chiqiu standing far away, as the owner of the palace, he naturally had the power of being a landlord. Yi, walked around the crowd and walked forward, "This is... Mr. Yuchi?"

Yu Chiqiu bowed and saluted: "Fourth Highness."

Leng Anyue secretly observed the expressions of Leng Qiyu and Su Chengjing, suddenly smiled, and took Yuchiqiu's hand, "Young Master Yuchi is a guest, and third brother's friend, please." Pulling him into the palace first hospital.

Su Chengjing was a little embarrassed, and saw that Xu Mochen was standing aside and did not speak, so he told Leng Qiyu knowingly, and followed him in.

The juniors had all left, and it was only when Xiu Mochen heaved a sigh of relief that he stepped forward to untie Leng Qiyu's cloak familiarly, grabbed his hand and looked at him carefully: "It's fine, I'm always worried if you don't come back."

Leng Qiyu showed a somewhat gentle expression, nodded and said: "I am fine, don't worry." They have known each other for decades, and they already know each other's meaning just by meeting their eyes, and there is no need to hide each other anymore. If you say rest assured, then you can really rest assured.The two walked into the courtyard hand in hand, and Leng Qiyu asked: "Is An Yue's child okay? I saw that he looked different just now. What happened?"

Huo Mochen frowned slightly: "When I came, An Yue was caught by them. I rescued him, but he was only slightly bruised. It's just that those people seemed to want to put some medicine on him. I'll let others see However, he said no, I don’t know if I was overthinking or what.”

Leng Qiyu said: "It is rumored that Lan Xu likes to study poisons, I will write a letter to ask the descendants of the God of Medicine to come and have a look, so I can rest assured."

"Ah."

The banquet was set in the back hall, halfway through the backyard, Leng Qiyu suddenly stopped, and stopped to look for a while, the green bamboos in the courtyard were lush, and the air was filled with the smell of bamboo leaves.

Xiu Mochen didn't know well, as soon as he entered the backyard that day, he saw the emerald bamboos engraved with Leng Anyu's name, and knew that if Leng Qiyu saw it, he would be angry, so he asked Leng Anyue to send someone to write the words all over the night. scraped off. "What's wrong?"

The freshly scraped bamboo has obvious traces, and nothing can escape Leng Qiyu's eyes: "What's the matter with the bamboo?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Huo Mochen had to tell the truth, "Don't be upset, I know you are also worried about An Yu's matter, that's why you asked someone to scrape it away. In the current situation, there is no need to report it here. It’s good to take care of things in the past.”

"Poor love, but why is it so shallow?" Leng Qiyu suddenly sighed, turned to look at Xuan Mochen, after a long while, suddenly lowered her eyes, "Is it the curse of my Leng clan, or you and I have done something bad to them role model?"

Xiu Mochen's heart tightened, and he couldn't help holding Leng Qiyu's hand.The two of them knew each other when they were young, and they stayed together at the border for more than 20 years. They have a deep affection and never encountered obstacles in the world.

Leng Qiyu smiled wryly, shook her head, and said softly: "Forget it, it's useless to think too much, maybe it's because I'm old and worry too much."

Huo Mochen didn't know that Leng Qiyu was feeling sorry for Su Chengjing, but thought he was worried about Leng Anyue, so he said a few words of comfort, and then they went to the back hall together.

Leng Anyue had already dismissed the servants, leaving only Lao Hu to serve her.Seeing that Leng Qiyu and Xiu Mochen had arrived, Leng Anyue, Su Chengjing, and Yu Chiqiu took their seats in the order of guest and host.

Leng Qiyu saw Yuchiqiu's reserved face, and said comfortingly: "Young Master Yuchi, you don't need to be restrained, just treat it as your own home."

Yu Chiqiu hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Don't dare, I'm just a commoner, I don't dare to sit with the nobles of Tianhuang."

"What kind of aristocrats?" Leng Qiyu motioned Su Chengjing to let Yuchiqiu sit down, and said with a smile, "It's just an ordinary family banquet, I only think of you as my nephew's friend, don't tell me I'm so scary as an elder, so scared You don't even dare to eat a meal?"

Leng Qiyu's attitude was completely different from before, as if he had suddenly changed from a high-ranking prince to a kind elder beside him, Yu Chiqiu was in a daze for a while.

"That's right, it's just a family banquet." Leng Anyue deliberately emphasized the word "family banquet", and stared at Su Chengjing with a straight smile, "Third brother, don't you think so?"

Su Chengjing didn't dare to make such a joke in front of Leng Qiyu, so he glared at Leng Anyue, then looked at Yuchiqiu with a guilty conscience, stood up and raised his glass and said, "Okay, Chengjing will not be polite for the sake of fourth brother Now, let's have a toast to Uncle Huang and Uncle Xuan first." He stood up together, and Yu Chiqiu and Leng Anyue naturally followed suit, raised their glasses to toast the two elders at the table, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After the first round of drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet was much more relaxed. In addition, Leng Anyue deliberately turned around, told some funny childhood stories and gagged, and diverted the focus of the topic from Yu Chiqiu, which saved him from the embarrassment of sitting on pins and needles.

It was hard for Xiu Mochen, because the three juniors wanted to change the topic, he was poured one cup after another, and Leng Qiyu was present, so he had to drink for him. In the end, this veteran on the battlefield finally passed out drunk on the table.Leng Qiyu watched them messing around but didn't stop them, and even drank a few more glasses herself, until Xuan Mochen was so drunk that he collapsed, and ordered Leng Anyue to send him back.

Seeing the situation, Yu Chiqiu immediately stood up and left.He drank a few cups, although he was not drunk, his cheeks were still flushed, Su Chengjing was drunk, Da Lala stared at him without any scruples, his heart was itchy, and he also stood up. "Uncle Huang, I'll take Ah Qiu back..."

Leng Qiyu remained motionless, and only said to Yuchiqiu: "Young Master Yuchi, please rest well."

Yuchiqiu bowed down according to the ceremony, and withdrew.Su Chengjing chased after a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Leng Qiyu, Leng Qiyu lowered his eyes slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, as if he didn't know that Su Chengjing was watching him, and only focused on the cup in his hand .

"Uncle Emperor..." Su Chengjing murmured, but seeing Leng Qiyu get up and walk out, when he passed by him, he said softly, "Come out."

Su Chengjing followed Leng Qiyu step by step, and the two came to the green bamboo forest in the backyard. The smell of green bamboo was in the air, blown away by the night wind, and even a little bit of alcohol faded away.

Leng Qiyu was not in a hurry to speak, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the scraped marks on the bamboo, as if thinking about something.Su Chengjing was a little apprehensive, he had never dared to speculate on his uncle's intentions, not to mention that he was very guilty now because of Yu Chiqiu's matter.

Fortunately, Leng Qiyu doesn't seem to want to mention this matter to him now. "Chengjing, you asked me last night why I came to Ningzhou with Xiu Mochen, do you have an answer in your heart?"

"Ah? I..." Originally, I wanted to deal with Yu Chiqiu's question, but Leng Qiyu suddenly opened his mouth to talk about it. Su Chengjing was tongue-tied and couldn't answer for a while.

Leng Qiyu sneered, how could he not see through Su Chengjing's thoughts: "You only think about that Mr. Yuchi, and you have forgotten the business?" He felt the bamboo with his fingers, and slowly stroked the words Leng Anyu once existed. "Anyue still knows what is important, Chengjing, you have disappointed me so much."

Su Chengjing was horrified, his legs softened and he fell to his knees, "Uncle Emperor..."

"Shut up." Leng Qiyu said coldly, "Look at your appearance, do you want Yuchiqiu?"

"I..." Su Chengjing's heart tightened suddenly, and the suffocating feeling made him suffocate. It turned out that when he was so cautious about gain and loss, Leng Qiyu had already seen through it, and said exactly what he said.

How can the current Su Chengjing be worthy of Captain Chi Qiu?

Leng Qiyu said: "Let me ask you again, why did I come to Ningzhou with Xiu Mochen?"

This is a test.Su Chengjing was brought up by Leng Qiyu and cultivated as a pillar of the country to assist the future king. If he can't even think of this, how can he stand above the court in the future?

Su Chengjing immediately adjusted his thinking, bowed his head in meditation for a moment, and hesitated, "Is it because of... Lan Xu?"

"Do you think this is a guessing game?" Leng Qiyu said angrily, "Su Chengjing, kneel here, think carefully, when will you think clearly, and when will you get up again." He walked away in a huff.

Su Chengjing knelt on the spot, the wind blowing tight and blowing, he clenched his teeth and persisted, he didn't dare to get up, and didn't want to get up, Leng Qiyu's words echoed in his mind, remembering his own incompetence and powerlessness a few days ago, he held on tightly fist.

After half an hour, Zhuang Pu rushed over suddenly, and put on a cloak for Su Chengjing, who was kneeling numbly.

"Zhuang Pu..." Su Chengjing looked up at Zhuang Pu, it must be Leng Qiyu's order for Zhuang Pu to come. "Uncle, is he... asleep?"

"Your Highness is ready to rest." Zhuang Pu supported Su Chengjing to get up, "Go back quickly, don't get sick on your knees, Your Highness is still injured."

"Uncle, he..."

Zhuang Pu sighed, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, Third Highness, don't take it to heart."

"I let the emperor down because I didn't live up to it." Su Chengjing rubbed his numb legs, "Zhuang Pu, is the emperor very angry?"

Zhuang Pu has been by Leng Qiyu's side for a long time, and Yu Su Chengjing is also an uncle and elder.Seeing the uncle and nephew playing charades with each other, Zhuang Pu felt uncomfortable. He originally upheld the principle of indifference, but at this moment he couldn't help but said: "Third Highness, Your Highness just doesn't want you to repeat the same mistakes. How many hardships and how many things you have endured are beyond the imagination of you and the Fourth Highness. However, if you insist on taking the same path as him, he will not stop him. All he expects is that you are strong enough, even stronger than him and General Chu is even tougher, tough enough to protect himself and walk on without being hurt."

"But I..."

"As the royal family, there are responsibilities that we have to bear." Zhuang Pu continued, "Your Highness did not escape, so will your Third Highness escape?"

Su Chengjing retorted almost subconsciously: "I naturally know my mission, and I have never forgotten it for a moment."

Zhuang Pu nodded: "That's good."
