Xiao Poyun pursed his lips and said: "With so many people here and Governor Wei sitting in charge, what worries does Sir Si have? Or is it that Sir Si is afraid of losing to me..."
Si Yiluo pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Princess, there is no need to use aggressive methods to provoke me. The road is muddy and the horse's hooves are easy to slip. The princess is a noble guest of my Zhou Dynasty. If something goes wrong, I can't afford it."
Xiao Poyun turned his attention to Wei Heyan.
"Do you, Governor Wei, dare to compete with me on horseback?"
Wei Heyan saw through her thoughts at a glance and said coldly: "There is no need to compare. I would like to advise you that if the princess wants to take the opportunity to humiliate the governor, she might as well find a way to live a few more years. You have no chance now."
Hitting the wall at both ends, Xiao Poyun was not discouraged.
"I once heard a poem read by a traveling businessman, Jiucheng Road, Shengjing, the House of the Five Marquises in Qili. It probably refers to the prosperity of Shengjing City. I also heard Xiao Qin's song "Slightly Light Boat Ripples in the Water".
"Shengjing City is prosperous and Poyun has admired it for a long time. I wonder if Sir Si can take Poyun to experience it together?"
People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Although Emperor Yao asked Wei Heyan and Si Yiluo to go out of the city at the same time to greet them, prisoners were prisoners, and their aloof attitude was not in line with their current situation.
Si Yiluo refused again and said: "Princess Poyun, the mission of the governor and I is just to welcome you into the city. The following steps will be accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites. There is a long way to go, so there is no need to rush."
Her subtext was that they might want to stay in Shengjing for a lifetime, and they would have plenty of time to appreciate the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Poyun smiled politely and scolded the two of them with his thoughts.
Do not eat soft or hard food.
This was the first time that Wei Heyan had seen Si Yiluo's power face to face. He didn't mind watching the excitement and provoked Dadi: "Princess Poyun is an honored guest of our court. Sir Si is so ruthless, which is not the way our court treats guests."
"Sir Sir, I want to invite you anyway..."
"The governor is so hospitable, why not let the governor take Princess Poyun on a night tour of Shengjing."
Si Yiluo interrupted him, his eyes met his directly, and there seemed to be a white light in the air connecting their eyes into a line.
Wei Heyan frowned. This was the first time she spoke to him in this tone...
The tense atmosphere between the two instantly swept across the two teams. The filial son and grandson brought by Wei Heyan and the subordinates of the Jin Yiwei brought by Si Yiluo secretly held weapons, and the camps were clearly divided.
Xiang Xiao fell behind, looking at this and that.
These two people are not easy to deal with...
The atmosphere developed in an irrepressible direction in just a moment. For a moment, everyone present did not dare to express their anger, and their eyes followed the two leaders closely.
Wei Heyan paused for a moment and sneered.
"Forgive me for being powerless..."
Si Yiluo also pursed his lips and replied: "The governor is humble."
She had something to say, and Wei Heyan's eyes that had turned away were brought back again, and the relaxed atmosphere was filled again.
Wei Heyan felt that her attitude towards him seemed to have become different, but he couldn't tell what was different. After a pause, Si Yiluo ran forward, leaving only his back.
The two did not fight, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, silently put away their weapons, and exchanged glances with the people next to them.
The two people in the center of the storm were completely unaware of what a thrilling experience their subordinates had just experienced. When they arrived at the rest station, Si Yiluo first poured a cup of tea for Wei Heyan, and then handed the second cup to Xiang Xiao.
The eunuchs in the East Factory thought that Si Yiluo had bowed his head to Wei Heyan, and glanced proudly at the brothers of the Jinyiwei. The brothers of the Jinyiwei stared back at them, and pointed to the tea in front of Xiang Xiao.
Etiquette, we adults know etiquette, you know nothing!
Secret lawsuits and lawsuits arise one after another.
Xiang Xiao quietly pulled Si Yiluo aside and asked, "What's going on? You don't want to deal with him?"
After asking, I realized that I had asked a stupid question, and it was only natural that the two of them should not deal with it.
"It's settled tonight, don't go back on your word! I can't wait to return to the capital now!"
From the corner of his eye, Wei Heyan saw the two of them talking together, and felt that Xiang Xiao didn't like it.
"Go and tell Princess Poyun that I will invite her to listen to music at Xiaoyu Pavilion tonight!"
The two teams reunited again and rushed to the capital before dusk gradually enveloped them. King Rong led officials from the Ministry of Rites to welcome him out of the city.
Everyone dismounted to greet them and exchanged simple greetings. Si Yiluo and Wei Heyan handed over smoothly.
"I have to return to the palace to resume my duties, so I'll take my leave first."
Si Yiluo met with King Rong.
"The lower official also resigned."
He took Xiang Xiao back to his house and changed out of his official uniform.
Xiang Xiao also changed into a royal blue round-neck robe, which made him look dignified.
"Sir, the housekeeper of Prince Zhan's Mansion came to give you a thank you gift. Miss Shen asked me to tell you."
Er Qiao took out the jade pendant sent by Zhou Zhan and handed it to her, "By the way, Miss Shen also said when will you come back and send someone to tell her."
Si Yiluo opened the box and looked at the jade pendant.
"Is there anything else?"
Er Qiao looked at her timidly and stammered: "No, no... Also, Miao Qianhu also came to see you, but he didn't say anything."
"Miss Shen?" Xiang Xiao looked at him strangely and asked, "Who is this Miss Shen? Your lover?"
Si Yiluo grabbed the fruit on the plate and threw it over as a hidden weapon. He took it and took a bite. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more excited.
"Are you angry from embarrassment? Si Yiluo, I'm not telling you, I've already seen that you are not a woman. You don't really like women, do you?"
"Can't you even stop your mouth with food?"
Si Yiluo glared at him, turned the jade pendant over and over several times, and then searched in the box. There was no interlayer in the box.
"Why are you staring at a piece of broken jade pendant? Why did King Zhan give you the jade pendant?"
Si Yiluo didn't intend to explain to him, so he stood up and said, "Tan Chunlou will help you to catch the wind and wash away the dust. If you don't go, I will go on my own."
The housekeeper prepared the carriage. Si Yiluo habitually closed her eyes and thought about things on the carriage. Xiang Xiao opened the curtain and kept looking outside. When he turned around and saw her looking like an old monk in trance, he opened his mouth to bring her back from her thoughts.
.
"Are you ready to transform into an immortal?"
"You are so young, how can you be more mature than my father? My father didn't like me and even took a whip to the military camp to beat me. Don't you find it annoying that I talk so much?"
"Si Yiluo, although you were like this before, but we haven't seen each other for such a long time, you don't have anything to ask me, or do you want to say something to me? Let's catch up on old times..."
Si Yiluo snorted and asked, "Are the Marquis and Uncle Zhong okay?"
Xiang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said speechlessly: "Are you so perfunctory? What are you asking these two old men for... Well, I can't do anything with eight poles. Forget it, I'll just watch the scenery."
The lights on the street came into his eyes through the gap in the car curtain. Si Yiluo closed his eyes, still thinking about Zhou Zhan's piece of jade. Suddenly he heard Xiang Xiao's low voice.
"Si Yiluo, you are in a difficult situation in the capital..."
Si Yiluo opened his eyes and looked at him. There was something in his words.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. When did you become a mother-in-law?"
"My brother must understand me..."
The expression on Xiang Xiao's face suddenly became serious, and he approached and said, "Actually, I have something to trouble you with when I come to the capital. Last month, the imperial court issued pensions for fallen soldiers. According to usual practice, it should have been paid long ago.
Went down."
