They didn't want to worry about it so much, so they simply asked a few questions and entered the imperial city on a starry night.
There is someone they want to see in their hearts, especially for Su Mohan, who is more anxious to see his brother than Bai Ling'er is to see her father, who he has not seen for several years at least.
After one night, the Imperial City was as quiet as ever, and no one from Haotian Pavilion was seen searching the Imperial City.
Su Mohan walked in the market with a knife on his waist. He scanned the surroundings very carefully and didn't feel anything was different. They came to this inn to stay normally last night, but after waiting all night, Bai Qinghe and Su Xinghe didn't arrive.
the appearance of.
Su Mohan kept wondering whether the information given by Zhou Tian was wrong, or whether Su Xinghe and the others were in danger, so he went to ask for the direction of the palace without eating early in the morning.
After asking all the way, I knew the specific direction. While walking, several guards suddenly came in front of me. Because Su Mohan was also from the imperial city, but he had not had time to go back to his home, and he had to take care of Miss Bai, so
He has nothing to fear from these guards.
"Hey, isn't this Su Mohan? We haven't seen him for many years, but his appearance hasn't changed much? Why are you willing to come back?"
A patrolling guard had a unique look, and he could tell at a glance that this person was Su Mohan.
Su Mohan was startled and looked sideways: "Who are you?"
"Haha, I'm your neighbor. I just found a good job in the past few years and found many ways to do it, so I became a patrol guard in the imperial city. I didn't expect to meet you here."
This guard was so naive. Su Mohan thought about it seriously, looked at his fat body, and suddenly remembered that he was Fatty Zhang who used to live near his home.
"It's you, haha, Fatty Zhang!"
Su Mohan smiled happily. He didn't expect to meet him here, and he was also a patrol guard. It seemed that he had many things to ask him.
So he came closer and said to him: "Fat Zhang, do you know the situation in the palace?"
Fatty Zhang saw that he had a knife behind him and asked about this kind of thing again. His eyes and expression suddenly became cold, and he asked the other guards accompanying him to leave first.
"Su Mohan, you have bullied me since you were a child. I have also known what you have been doing all these years. It is nothing more than assassination and getting money for a living. But I don't know what you are asking about. This is the Imperial City.
, there are people observing in secret, the whole city is full of Shang Emperor’s spies, if you ask about the palace, aren’t you seeking death?”
Su Mohan wasn't nervous yet, but Fatty Zhang was extremely nervous. As he spoke, he pointed around: "Not far ahead is the Palace Guard Department. They only know the situation in the palace. Why are you asking this?"
Su Mohan looked at his uneasy look, as if he wanted to assassinate Emperor Shang. He smiled and said, "You fat man, I just wanted to find out if any strangers entered the palace recently. Those who entered were my relatives. I just wanted to
Ask them when they can come out!”
"Fat man, let's go! There are still many things to be busy with!"
As soon as Su Mohan finished asking, the other guards behind him urged Fatty Zhang to hurry up.
Fatty Zhang said in a low voice: "I'm just a patrol guard. It's okay for you to ask me about the imperial city. I don't know about the palace. You should be careful. If you come to me for anything, I'm still living there..."
After saying that, he ran over panting.
Su Mohan said disappointedly: "Humph, it means you didn't ask anything. You should just rely on yourself!"
Then he continued to walk forward, but as he walked, he always felt that someone was following him. He turned around and saw Bai Ling'er less than ten meters behind him. He looked at her doubtfully and stood motionless.
Bai Ling'er had no choice but to follow him: "You, why don't you leave?"
Su Mohan turned around and looked at her with interest: "Miss Bai, why are you following me in broad daylight with so many people here? When did you wake up?"
Bai Ling'er's eyes kept rolling, and then she said: "Ah, I got up and found that the door to your room was opened, but the person was gone. I was afraid that something would happen, so I followed him out and found you talking to the guard.
I thought you were in some kind of trouble, so I didn't follow you."
Su Mohan smiled: "Don't hide your true thoughts. Forget it, let's go. The Palace Guards Department is ahead. We will know everything when we get there."
They came to the palace guard station and saw that the guards on both sides were still wearing armor in the June weather, which was somewhat difficult.
So he asked politely: "Sir, my name is Su Mohan from the Su family at the north end of the Imperial City. I would like to ask if any strangers have been in and out of the palace recently?"
The two guards didn't want to pay attention at first, but one of them suddenly asked: "The Su family in the north of the city? Are you? Are you from Emperor Shang?"
Although the guard knew who he was, he couldn't explain clearly, which made the other guard anxious.
"What's wrong with you? Who are they?"
Bai Ling'er also looked at Su Mohan in shock, feeling that his identity was very strange.
"Yes, what you think and what you say are both correct, so please let me know."
And while they were talking, a person slowly walked out of the palace, and Bai Ling'er recognized him at a glance.
"Dad! You really are not dead!"
Bai Ling'er blurted out, which shocked the person in the distance. He looked at her with straight eyes and suddenly stopped.
The person following behind him was Su Xinghe, but he didn't realize that his brother was there.
"daughter!"
Bai Qinghe instantly shed two lines of tears, his eyes began to blur, and his whole body was shaking.
When the two guards saw this, they quickly raised their hands and said, "It turns out they are relatives of the academy."
But the guard who knew the Su family was a little confused. Who was this Su Mohan? Why was he involved with the academy again?
"father!"
Regardless of anything else, Bai Ling'er ran over and fell into Bai Qinghe's arms. The warmth instantly moved Su Xinghe beside him.
And just as they were walking forward, Su Mohan was also stunned. He saw Su Xinghe and his biological brother whom he had not seen for several years, but suddenly he didn't know what to say!
"elder brother?"
Su Xinghe was the first to call out, then ran over quickly and came to Su Mohan's side.
"Brother, why are you back!"
After saying that, he gave Su Mohan a big hug.
"It's been several years, and I can finally see you again, my good brother." Su Mohan's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and his heart beat fast. Ever since he ran away from home, he had never been so close to his brother. Now the two brothers are together.
It made them both very happy.
They talked a lot along the way. Su Mohan and Bai Linger told their own stories respectively, and finally talked about Zhou Tian.
When Su Xinghe heard that Zhou Tian was seriously injured, he blamed himself very much.
"It's all my fault that my brother was injured. We agreed to meet in front of the inn, but Emperor Shang kept us overnight. If Thirteen hadn't been waiting for us, he wouldn't have suffered this."
Su Xinghe's expression was very solemn while he was blaming himself. When Su Mohan heard him talking about brother, he asked: "Brother? What brother? Is Zhou Tian your brother?"
Su Xinghe then remembered and hurriedly said to Su Mohan: "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, Thirteen and I have become sworn sworn brothers, and he is my brother."
When Su Mohan heard this, he laughed heartily and said: "Ah haha, I didn't expect that I, Su Mohan, would have an extra brother when I came back. You and I were brothers originally, and now that you have an extra brother, of course he is also me.
My brother, Zhou Tian is loyal, honest, smart and smart, you recognize this brother well! Haha"
Su Mohan's laughter was so loud that it sounded harsh to the ears of Bai Qinghe and his daughter.
"Yes, but Thirteen is injured now, and it's all because of me. I don't know if he will forgive him."
Su Mohan looked at his submissive look and smiled: "Since we have become sworn brothers, we won't worry about such trivial matters. Zhou Tian is the son of Zhou Liting of Xuantian Sect, how could he care about his brother because of such a trivial matter?
.”
When Su Xinghe heard what he said, he felt ashamed. He had been with Zhou Tian for so long, but he didn't understand him as much as his elder brother.
"Dad? It turns out that the master of the academy has been secretly protecting you?"
Bai Ling'er's eyes were wide, flickering as she looked at her father, her tough appearance suddenly softened.
Bai Qinghe nodded: "Yes, I went crazy at that time. If it weren't for Master, the consequences would have been disastrous. But Master just wanted to protect me and prevent other sects from coveting me, so he put me in the well."
Having said so much, Bai Ling'er was still curious, why did they enter the palace?
This incident made Bai Qinghe and Su Xinghe very happy.
Su Xinghe said to Bai Ling'er: "We have stayed in the palace for so long, just waiting for a reply from Emperor Shang, and early this morning, Emperor Shang agreed to our request. It's really not in vain!"
Bai Ling'er and Su Mohan looked at Su Xinghe's happy expression and were a little puzzled.
Bai Qinghe also raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Emperor Shang promised me to deal with the affairs of Haotian Pavilion, and he will give his full support and will send Qi cultivators with high cultivation."
For Bai Qinghe and Su Xinghe, this was a good thing, but for Bai Ling'er and Su Mohan, they were worried.
"Dad? The people in Haotian Pavilion are so scheming and good at tricks and puppetry. They are so dangerous. Why do they still come forward? Aren't the masters from the academy responsible for these?"
Bai Qinghe shook his head, looked at the road ahead and the passing crowds and whispered: "Let's find a tavern to talk. There are so many people talking in the streets of the Imperial City that it's not convenient to talk more."
After hearing this, Su Mohan suddenly thought: "Brother, can you go back to our home? It's better to go home and talk about it."
When Su Xinghe heard his brother talk about home, he felt a little depressed. He didn't say a word for a long time: "Home? What kind of home is there? Since you left, I have never been back to that home. Even if it is so close to the academy, you don't mention it."
I can’t even remember.”
Su Mohan touched his head, then patted his shoulder and said, "I know you haven't seen me since you entered the academy. For you, this family is no longer important, but now I have
When you come back, your home will still be there. Let’s go! Go home and take a look.”
When Su Xinghe heard what his brother said, he should have been happy, but suddenly there was an indescribable sadness in his heart, and he nodded silently.
Bai Ling'er listened to them talking and kept having a question.
"What is the identity of the Su family, and why did the palace guards know you just now?"
Su Mohan tilted his head, looked at Su Xinghe, smiled, and said to Bai Ling'er in unison: "Don't ask others about the Su family's affairs!"
