hi i have

When Nan Qi thought about it later, he always felt that the arrest of Zhou was definitely done with sinister intentions.

Especially when I heard that the lord asked him and Chu Shaoyan to go back to the city to manage the business, and leave Chu Qi behind.reason?Simple, their family's baby Chu Qi was caught by the third prince during the Zhou Catch Ceremony, isn't it a natural coincidence!

God knows Nan Qi listened and almost sprayed old blood all over Feng Si's face.By the way, Feng Si is like a professional intelligence worker. He hasn't seen him for a long time, and he doesn't know what to do, but he knows the gossip around him well...

Even though he was extremely reluctant, even though he was beaten to death, he did not want his son to be sold to the palace...but his rationality told him that Chu Qi was the safest.

Mu Lingfeng's attitude has already shown that he can give a chance, but he will never do any extra work to lose money.

This Chu Shaoyan naturally understood, so he knew Mu Lingfeng's final plan and was very, very calm.Even the day Chu Qi was taken away, there was no unnecessary reaction.

Nan Qi knew that his heart was by no means as peaceful as it appeared on the surface, so he held Chu Shaoyan's hand tightly.

But Mu Lingfeng still gave him a surprise.The "imperial envoy" he promised also went with him.Sitting next to Nan Qi now.

But this young man's life experience...Nan Qi didn't ask either.This young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but Nan Qi was also infected by that peaceful and steady temperament, and became much calmer unconsciously.It's just that the young man's appearance is a bit particularly eye-catching, so Nan Qi has to make some guesses.

The so-called glamorous corners of the eyes, and the sunken curvature of the eye sockets... reminded Nan Qi of the mixed-race children who were envied and hated before.Looking at Nan Qi, I felt my eyes twitch - why is Mao so like that little kid who snatched his son away like a one-year-old demon king!

But even though Nan Qi ground his teeth to the point of itching, he still didn't make any test - just kidding, if his guess is true, is it possible that he has to sacrifice to his ancestors himself?It's better to take some revenge while you're not familiar...

It can be seen from this that Nan Qi is still a naive person in essence.

I have to say that the location of Izumo City is really worthy of his name, and entering the city once is simply fatal.

When the carriage reached halfway up the mountain, it couldn't move forward.They had to come down and climb up step by step on their own feet.When we arrived at the gate of the city, the scene was very disappointing again.

Nan Qiyuan thought that at least as a show, the future city lord + imperial envoy = at least a few people would come to greet him.

But nothing.The gate of the city was open alone, and it looked like a hole in the clothes that had been scratched for air leakage...

The imperial envoy who called himself Yixue, whose identity was worthy of investigation, seemed to be extremely surprised by the scene in front of him.

"Izumo City... Didn't you receive the news?"

As Yixue spoke, her eyes swept across Chu Shaoyan and settled on Nan Qi - Nan Qi's angry look was a bit eye-catching.

Chu Shaoyan didn't have any unnecessary reaction, just looked at the city gate for a while, and walked forward first.

The City Lord's Mansion... was built beyond expectations.

It is indeed gorgeous and luxurious... If it was decades earlier, I don't know what kind of beauty it would be.

When Chu Shaoyan led them to this building, Nan Qi thought he had seen the eight wonders of modern times.Majestic, majestic... Also, it has an indelible sense of vicissitudes.

Nan Qi couldn't help thinking of the family that used to live in Izumo City, the courtyard of the Wei family.Especially the indigo blue and pure gold decoration is still fresh in my memory.But……

It's clearly the city lord's mansion, why even the vermilion walls around it seem to have faded?

The main entrance is very high and closed tightly, which feels a bit like everyone.Nan Qi was about to knock on the door, but Chu Shaoyan stopped him.

"What?" Nan Qi asked strangely.Is Chu Shaoyan too timid to be close to his hometown?

"Go this way." Chu Shaoyan didn't explain too much, but Nan Qi saw an ugly feeling on his calm face.

Nan Qi and Yixue looked at each other, but luckily the other party was also a reasonable person, so they didn't ask any more questions, but followed Chu Shaoyan's footsteps with two followers.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, the place near the City Lord's Mansion is eerily quiet.It is no different from ordinary cities. The City Lord's Mansion is built in the center of Izumo City. This should be the most prosperous place, but for some reason, the surrounding houses are like an appointment, and they all take the dead after The wall faced the City Lord's Mansion, except for the main entrance, everything was sealed.

Nan Qi followed Chu Shaoyan and walked around the red wall. The further he walked, the narrower the road became.Finally, before he thought the road had no end at all, Chu Shaoyan stopped.

Nan Qi took a look, and beside Chu Shaoyan's toes, there was a narrow, low door on the wall. It was made of wood, with a warm luster on the door panel, and it seemed to be used frequently.

Before doing anything, the door with only one side has been swung open from the inside.

"Master?"

It was a little boy who opened the door, who was surprised when he saw Chu Shaoyan.However, he seemed to think of something immediately after the surprise, and the voice that should have been loud and festive was suppressed and turned into a strange tone.

"You are back, I will inform the master now..."

"No need." Chu Shaoyan finally said, "Where is Daddy, I'll go find him."

"This..." Xiaotong scratched his head in distress, "Today, the masters of the Su family, the Hang family, and Young Master Wei are all here, and the master is in the living room."

"I see." Chu Shaoyan nodded, moved away, and smiled slightly apologetically, "Everyone, please come in first. Feng Si, let's show you the room."

"Yes, young master." Feng Si accepted the order with a smile, and very skillfully took away including the most difficult Yixue.

"You can go together too." Chu Shaoyan suddenly said to Nan Qi who was standing beside him.

"No!" Nan Qi replied without thinking.

Who knows that Chu Shaoyan didn't say anything, just looked at him, and suddenly asked: "Where's the earrings?"

"Ah?" Nan Qi was caught off guard by this question, thought for a while, "In the purse..."

"Put it on."

"what?"

"Put it on." Chu Shaoyan repeated.

"Oh." Although he didn't know why, Nan Qi felt that it was not a bad thing, so he did it.

Chu Shaoyan's house is not as ugly as it looks on the outside.Nan Qi didn't have much research on gardens, and the garden at the back of Chu Shaoyan's home was even different from any garden he had ever seen.There are no artificial mountains and lakes, and there are no West Lake stones and Taihu stones. There are pavilions and promenades, but they are so different from the definition in his heart that Nan Qi dare not recognize them.

A piece of land is divided into flower beds by crushed stones. The flowers planted on them are well taken care of. Whether they are in flowering period, have already bloomed or are still budding, they are all in a natural posture.There are not many traces of artificial pruning, and the whole garden is finely divided, with a simple and primitive beauty... how to say, it is very free.

"Ayan, your garden is so beautiful." Nan Qi admired sincerely.

"My dad took care of it." Hearing this, Chu Shaoyan couldn't help but say.

"Very powerful." Nan Qi was taken aback for a moment, but later he realized who Chu Shaoyan was talking about, and it was natural that he didn't expect it.He held Chu Shaoyan's hand, walked to his side when he was in a daze, and said this sentence into Chu Shaoyan's eyes.

Nan Qi's actions made Chu Shaoyan pause for a moment.

"Let's go." Chu Shaoyan looked away and continued to lead the way.They were still silent, one after the other, but the tension in the air that seemed to be lingering just now had dissipated.

The atmosphere in the hall was beyond Nan Qi's expectation.In fact, he didn't foresee any scene at all, but when he saw it, his first reaction was, how could this happen?

That's right, how could this be the case.

In the hall, it was very quiet.Inside were some people that Nan Qi knew or didn't know.He couldn't tell which one was Chu Shaoyan's father - there was nothing special about that seat, and the main seat was empty.

Nan Qi couldn't help but put his eyes on Chu Shaoyan.

"Shut up, you're here." There was a faint joy in the voice, accompanied by a sweet smell that seemed to be burnt.

How could that guy be there!Wei Siqi, didn't he... unexpectedly rushed back before them?

Chu Shaoyan nodded lightly, as a response.

At this time, the people sitting in the hall gathered their eyes as if they had just noticed that there was one more person, but none of them stood up and said something.

Nan Qi always felt a little awkward, but Chu Shaoyan pulled him forward to a seat in the corner.

"Daddy, I'm back."

This is Chu Shaoyan's father?This is obviously...an old man.

"Yeah." The person holding the teacup with his head bowed slowly raised his head, showing a faint smile similar to Chu Shaoyan's.

Nan Qi looked at his face, he was actually not that old, but the hair on that head was gray and almost gray, no wonder he had that first feeling just now.

"Hello." Feeling that his back was going to be burned by those silent gazes, Nan Qi still remembered to say hello.

The city lord looked at Nan Qi with a smile, his gaze stayed on his left ear for a moment, and then he nodded in satisfaction, but Nan Qi couldn't see clearly such tiny body movements.

"Uncles and uncles, this junior is being polite." After paying his respects to his father, Chu Shaoyan turned around and saluted everyone present.That etiquette is even more solemn than meeting one's own father.

Nan Qi didn't know why, but he also sensed the unusual atmosphere here, and casually followed Chu Shaoyan's salute.

"Okay. Xiaoyan doesn't need to be so polite, come on, let Uncle take a look." A gentle voice broke the weird atmosphere, Nan Qi looked gratefully, damn it!It's an acquaintance again.

Isn't that Mrs. Wei who robs people on the street!

Nan Qi looked at the familiar middle-aged handsome guy, and then at the position Wei Siqi made, and guessed with his toes, it was father and son...

Mrs. Wei was also taken aback when she saw Nan Qi, and she was even more surprised when she saw Nan Qi wearing Chu Shaoyan's earrings, but it was only for a moment.In the next second, the gentle and amiable Mrs. Wei remained the same.

Chu Shaoyan's smile was a little more real, and he really went to that "Madam".

"Xiaoyan has grown up a lot this trip. How are you living in Jinlaicheng? Did Si Qi take good care of you?"

Chu Shaoyan walked over and squatted down at Madam Wei's feet, seeing Nan Qi dumbfounded.Why didn't he know that Chu Shaoyan was such an obedient person?

"Brother Wei takes good care of me." Chu Shaoyan replied in a gentle voice that Nan Qi had never heard before.

"What about this child?" Mrs. Wei glanced at Nan Qi, and Nan Qi always felt that the old man looked at him with a smile of unknown meaning... "Have Xiaoyan found his sweetheart?"

Nan Qi suddenly felt that the faint sights on his body had become materialized.The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood recently
