Outside Gunzhou City, a team slowly came from a distance.
The leader, a young man in white robes, was riding a horse. He carried a sword on his back and had a handsome appearance, with a touch of arrogance on his lips.
Ren Yixu.
A disciple of the inner sect of Tianyuan Academy and the son of the head of the family in Gunzhou City.
Ren Yixu has a close relationship with Xiang Ming, the son of the governor.
Some time ago, Xiang Ming entrusted Ren Yixu with a task, asking him to lead the guards of the Governor's Mansion and personally go to Guangling City, Yunhe County.
The purpose was to bring Wen Lingzhao's parents to Gunzhou City.
Now, Ren Yixu not only successfully completed the task, but also received the old lady of the Wen family, who was now in a carriage behind him.
"Everyone, Gunzhou City is in the distance. I will take you directly to the Governor's Mansion later."
Ren Yixu pointed to the distance and spoke loudly.
The window curtains of the carriage had already been opened. Wen Changjing smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Lao and a group of guards will escort you along the way!"
The head of the Wen family, when he was in Guangling City, was also a big figure that everyone looked up to, and he was very majestic.
But now when facing a young man like Ren Yixu, his expression was full of submission and even a hint of flattery.
Ren Yixu waved his hand casually and said: "Xiang Ming and I are good brothers who are sworn brothers. His business is my business. Uncle Wen, don't be polite."
Wen Changjing's old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Seeing this, Qin Qing next to her said proudly: "Chief, our Wen family can be invited by the governor's son because of the face of this child Lingzhao."
Wen Changjing laughed and said: "What my brothers and sisters said is absolutely true. Ling Zhao is becoming more and more promising now. I heard that among the younger generation of disciples in Tianyuan Academy today, Ling Zhao is the one who attracts the most attention!"
Qin Qing said proudly: "That's natural."
On the other side, Wen Changtai is an honest man and keeps silent.
Mrs. Wen, who was sitting in the middle, was a little displeased and frowned: "I'm just invited to go to the Governor's Mansion. Is it worthy of you being so proud and happy?"
Qin Qing suddenly became speechless and curled her lips.
Wen Changjing sighed with emotion: "Old lady, you have seen the great world in Yujing City when you were young, so naturally you don't care about the power of a governor of a state. But no matter what, compared with the governor's palace, our Wen family is simply nothing."
It’s the difference between a river and an ocean…”
The old lady snorted and interrupted: "Okay."
Sensing that the old lady seemed a little dissatisfied, Wen Changjing immediately shut up.
Soon, the team entered the gate of Gunzhou City and headed towards the Governor's Mansion.
When he arrived at the majestic building of the Governor's Mansion, Ren Yixu got off his horse and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Governor's Mansion has arrived."
Wen Changjing and others got off the carriage one after another.
When she saw the formidable gate of the Governor's Mansion, even Mrs. Wen couldn't help but feel a little cautious and a little uneasy in her heart.
Although she worked as a maid in the Su family in Yujing City, she was still just a maid with a low status. How could she really dare not to take the Governor's Mansion seriously?
As for Wen Changjing, Wen Changtai and Qin Qing, they were all stiff, with uncontrollable awe appearing on their brows.
To them, the governor of a state, who wields the power of life and death, is no different from the emperor of the land.
Ren Yixu took in the expressions of everyone in the Wen family, and felt funny in his heart. He could tell at a glance that these Wen family members had never seen much of the world.
He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, come with me."
With that said, he walked straight towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion. "Everyone, please stay."
In front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, two teams of elite guards were stationed. When they saw Ren Yixu and the others approaching, a thin man stepped forward immediately.
"You...don't recognize me?"
Ren Yixu was startled. He and Xiang Ming had a close relationship. When he came to the Governor's Mansion in the past, no one dared to stop him.
The thin man said coldly: "May I ask who the young master is looking for?"
Ren Yixu looked slightly ugly and said: "You bastard, you don't even recognize me anymore. If you are sensible, get out of my way! Otherwise, when I see Uncle Xiang later, I will have to punish you for the crime of disrespect!"
The thin man's eyes were playful: "Uncle Xiang? Young man, don't you know that yesterday, Xiang Tianqiu died on the top of the Western Mountain? No, the current governor of Gunzhou is Mr. Mu Zhongtingmu."
Ren Yixu's expression suddenly changed and he said: "What!?"
The thin man showed a look of pity and said, "It seems like you don't know what's going on."
Ren Yixu stood there in a daze, completely realizing that something was wrong.
Wen Changjing and the others were also shocked and confused, what was going on?
"Come here, get these people!"
Suddenly, the thin man shouted loudly.
The guards on both sides responded loudly and with such murderous intent that Wen Changjing and the others were so frightened that their knees weakened and they almost lost their balance.
They were invited to the Governor's Mansion. They thought it was a great happy event. Who could have imagined that they would encounter such a disaster?
"How dare you!"
Ren Yixu said angrily, "Why do you arrest people? Do you know who I am?"
The thin man said solemnly: "You call Old Thief Xiang your uncle. Naturally, you have a different relationship with Old Thief Xiang. Lord Mu gave an order yesterday that anyone who is close to Old Thief Xiang must be captured!"
After a pause, he stared at Ren Yixu with cold eyes, "If any of you dare to resist, you are a traitor and will be shot without mercy!"
Before Ren Yixu could react, Qin Qing, who had already been frightened to death, shouted: "Sir, have mercy, we are members of the Wen family of Guangling City and have nothing to do with the old thief Xiang!"
"That writer from Guangling City?"
The thin man was stunned, and his eyes suddenly changed subtly.
"Exactly!"
Seeing this, Wen Changjing nodded quickly and said, "We were invited to the Governor's Mansion this time. We didn't even know Xiang Tianqiu before!"
He was also frightened and his words were trembling.
"What's going on here?"
At this time, two people walked out of the Governor's Mansion, one was the new Governor Mu Zhongting, and the other was the sixth prince Zhou Zhili.
Both of them looked at the scene in front of them a little strangely.
The thin man stepped forward quickly and said: "Your Highness, Mr. Mu, these people said they are from the Guangling City Wenjia..."
He briefly introduced the situation.
Zhou Zhili was startled and glanced over.
At this moment, Ren Yixu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Your Highness?
Could this young man in front of me be a prince!?
Mrs. Wen's expression also changed. When facing Zhou Zhili's gaze, she lowered her head subconsciously, her heart churning.
She could vaguely see that a huge change had occurred in the Governor's Mansion!
Otherwise, how could a respected figure called "Your Highness" appear here?
"Are you also from the Wen family?"
Zhou Zhili looked at Ren Yixu.
Ren Yixu quickly raised his hands and said: "I am Ren Yixu. I am a member of the Ren family in the city. I am currently practicing in Tianyuan Academy."
Zhou Zhili made a sound, looked away, looked at Wen Changjing and others, and said after careful consideration: "Since you said you are from the Wen family, come with me."
As he said this, he put his hands on his back and walked away.
"Everyone, please."
Mu Zhongting raised his hand to signal to Wen Changjing and others.
Wen Changjing and the others looked at each other, even though they were full of doubts in their hearts, how could they dare to refuse under such circumstances?
Immediately and faithfully followed him.
"Keep an eye on him first."
Mu Zhongting pointed at Ren Yixu who was not far away, gave an order, and then hurriedly chased Zhou Zhili with a group of guards.
"Mr. Ren, will you take the initiative to follow us in, or will you let us do it?"
The thin man looked at Ren Yixu with cold eyes.
Ren Yixu was dejected and realized that he was most likely to have been implicated by Xiang Ming and encountered an unreasonable disaster!
…
Along the way, Wen Changjing and the others were all terrified. They never expected that they would encounter such an unexpected disaster just after they arrived at Gunzhou City!
The most ridiculous thing is that they don't know where they will be taken now and what they will encounter.
The unknown is undoubtedly the scariest thing.
Zhou Zhili didn't explain anything.
Mu Zhongting naturally didn't say much.
The reason is that the two of them don't know whether the relationship between Su Yi and Wen Jia is good or bad, and whether there is something hidden that they don't want others to know.
Therefore, the wisest approach is undoubtedly to remain silent.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Wen Changjing and the others felt.
Even Mrs. Wen was worried, her brows filled with gloom.
"Do you think it is because of the relationship between Ling Zhao and the governor's son Xiang Ming that we are also affected?"
On the way, Wen Changjing couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
"This..." Qin Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she said in panic, "If this is really the case, what should we do?"
Mrs. Wen took a deep breath and said, "Why are you panicking? Our Wen family has nothing to do with the Governor's Mansion. As long as we make our identities clear, everything will be fine."
Wen Changjing, Wen Changtai and Qin Qing nodded in unison.
After hearing their conversation, Mu Zhongting's eyes couldn't help but become a little strange, but in the end he didn't say much.
Soon, they arrived at Soseki's residence.
Zhou Zhili came forward and knocked on the door in person.
Soon, Cha Jin opened the courtyard door. When he saw Zhou Zhili and Mu Zhongting, he said, "Wait a moment, you two. I'll go ask the young master for instructions."
Zhou Zhili said: "Miss Chajin, wait a minute."
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Cha Jin was confused.
Zhou Zhili pointed at Wen Changtai and others and lowered his voice: "Those are the people of the Wen family. I just saw them in front of the Governor's Mansion, but I didn't dare to confirm their identities. When you go to see Brother Su, bring this
Let him know the situation as well."
"good."
Cha Jin nodded, turned around and left.
Although Wen Changjing and others did not hear clearly the conversation between Cha Jin and Zhou Zhili.
But while standing in front of this courtyard, they subconsciously had a hunch that the next step would most likely be the time to decide their life or death!
For a time, they all became more and more anxious and uneasy.
Qin Qing, in particular, was so frightened that her face turned pale. If Wen Changtai hadn't supported her, she would have collapsed on the ground.
Not long after, Cha Jin returned and said: "Master, please come in."
Zhou Zhili nodded and walked into Soseki's residence first.
Wen Changjing wanted to refuse, but when he saw the fierce guards behind Mu Zhongting, he completely withered.
Immediately, the group of them walked hard into Soseki's residence one by one, like prisoners on the execution ground.
