When we came out of the prefect's palace, the sky was already slightly dark.
The older palace attendant who had been waiting for them at the palace gate took Luochuan and the three people all the way out of the palace. At this time, the cavalry team that escorted them back had disappeared, and was replaced by a group of palace guards. The older one
The waiter and the motorcade headed to the north city together, finally stopping in front of a high-walled house that was quite quiet all around.
Luo Chuan got off the carriage first and looked up at the plaque on the door of the mansion, which had the word "Luo Mansion" written on it.
The elderly palace waiter who was already waiting in front of the mansion followed Luo Chuan's gaze, glanced at the plaque, smiled and explained, "This Luo Mansion was the residence where the Lord lived before he ascended the throne. It is actually vacant now."
, one of the objects is also in its original appearance. Apart from some servants responsible for cleaning over the years, there is no one else in the mansion."
Luochuan turned his head and nodded to the elder palace attendant. He had already looked at it carefully before. The clothes of this elder palace attendant were somewhat different from those of the other younger palace attendants. There were three circles of gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs.
The moire decoration is obviously a high-ranking role in the prefect's palace. "Thank you sir for clarifying my doubts. I wonder what I call you sir?"
The elder palace waiter reacted for a moment before realizing that the "sir" in the young master's mouth actually referred to him. With his character that he had cultivated in the palace for many years, the city couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he quickly saluted and said, "Young Master, this is
He is a villain, how can I dare to call you 'sir' in front of you?" He looked up at Luo Chuan, who had an unchanging smile, and said with a bitter smile, "The villain Gao Shixian, if you call me Lao Gao, you are considered a villain.
What a great blessing.”
Luo Chuan glanced at the pair of silver eyebrows of the elderly palace attendant and smiled and said, "Go back, Mr. Gao. Since there are servants who clean the house, there will be no inconvenience for us people living here. We are not too particular.
people."
"I obey the young master's instructions," the elder palace waiter waved to a middle-aged man who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the mansion and said to Luo Chuan, "Sir, this is the money steward who is staying at the mansion. If you have anything to do, just give him an order.
.”
After relaying a few instructions from the prefect to the middle-aged housekeeper, the elderly palace attendant saluted Luochuan and left. The group of palace guards stayed at the house under the arrangement of a leading village chief.
"Sir, please come in. I have prepared a dinner for you. You and all the adults have also settled in their residences." The middle-aged housekeeper looked quite capable and had a decent appearance, except for a triangular scar on his forehead.
It was quite conspicuous. He turned around and waved, and several young boys trotted out with their heads lowered, driving and carrying things. "I will be by your side these days. If you need anything, just call me."
"
Luo Chuan turned around and waved at the two Wangchuan Jianxiu who got off the carriage, and then asked the old coachman next to him, "Back then... did you live here?"
The old coachman stared at the plaque and sighed, then nodded.
Luo Chuan raised his hand and patted his body, as if sweeping away the dust, and then walked into the house first.
The mansion is divided into front and back, with the front house having two entrances, and the main hall and side halls as well as the residences of the servants. If it really accommodates a large family, it would probably be full. The back house is the inner courtyard of the main house, and the houses and pavilions are there.
Coupled with a garden courtyard that is not too small, it is very clean.
"Your Majesty didn't like crowds of people since he was a child, so when he became an adult, he bought this mansion by himself in the northern city. Although the place is not big, he likes it very much," the middle-aged butler always walked half a step behind Luo Chuan.
location, and introduced various places in the mansion to Luochuan along the way, as if Luochuan was not just staying for a few days but the new owner of the mansion, "It's just that after he ascended the throne, he gradually came less and less."
Luochuan didn't say anything since he entered the house. He just looked around, listened to the middle-aged housekeeper's words, and nodded from time to time.
Soon everyone arrived at the banquet living room. A table of wine and food had been set, and the hot dishes were still steaming. This showed that the arrangements were carefully made. Luo Chuan sat at the main seat and greeted the beautiful woman wearing a veil, the old coachman.
He Siqi sat on his left side, and then asked the two Wangchuan Taoist priests, who were still a little pale, to sit on his right side, and then waved the middle-aged housekeeper and maids to get down.
When the door of the banquet hall was closed and only a group of people were left in the hall, Luo Chuan took a long breath, smiled and raised his wine glass to everyone, "Luo Chuan's return home has been extremely bumpy.
This is where I can take a break and treat you all to a good meal. It’s really..." He thought about his experiences along the way and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I'd like to give you a toast!"
After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.
The old coachman looked at the furnishings around the banquet hall and raised his glass to drink.
The beautiful woman did not touch the wine glass, but Si Qi seemed to remember something, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
The two Wangchuan Taoist priests looked at each other, raised their glasses and drank.
Luochuan seemed to be in a much better mood when he arrived at this mansion. The owner usually invited everyone to eat and drink. After a while, except for the beautiful woman who had not touched any alcohol, several other people were a little tipsy.
Luo Chuan let out a long breath of alcohol and raised his glass again to look at the two Wangchuan Taoist priests, "Senior Wansong, Senior Wuxi, Luo Chuan met these two by chance, but they were able to get the support of these two seniors in times of crisis.
It's hard to thank me for the kindness, so I'll do it first as a token of respect." He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and sighed comfortably before asking, "I remember that the two seniors said they were going to Cangyan Mountain, but I don't know where Cangyan Mountain is.
Cangyan Basin?”
There was no trace of drunkenness on the face of the ferocious-looking Taoist priest, but his face was slightly red. After raising his glass and drinking, he replied, "Of course, the Cangyan Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, but the main peak of Cangyan Mountain is in the south of the Cangyan Basin. There are
A branch of my Wangchuan branch is called Cangyan Sword Sect. Just looking at these names, you can tell that they are closely related."
"That's great," Luo Chuan's eyes lit up and he laughed. He stopped laughing after seeing the strange looks in the eyes of the two Taoist priests. "This junior was awarded the post of Cangyan County Sheriff by the Grand Administrator at the court meeting today.
, I will go to Cangyan City to take up my post in a few days, so how about the two seniors go to Cangyan and be companions with the junior on the way? The junior can rely on the protection of the two seniors for the whole trip."
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest smiled and nodded, but the square-faced Taoist priest raised his head and glanced at Luochuan.
The two of them are still seriously injured, so how can they protect Luochuan, especially since he has returned to Licheng safely, and he will naturally be accompanied by a bodyguard on his way to Cangyan...
Thinking of this, the square-faced Taoist priest who was always taciturn took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and raised it in the direction of Luochuan, then raised his head and drank a drink.
Luochuan naturally accepted the invitation and had another drink.
The beautiful woman on the other side who had never spoken and just ate quietly suddenly said, "I also have something to go to Cangyan."
"Of course that's good, there are so many people and it's so lively," Luo Chuan put down his wine glass, put some food into his mouth and mumbled, "Now that the situation in Li City is clear, the territory of Li County is naturally more stable. I don't think it will happen for a while."
Someone is interested in me as the governor of Cangyan County. I should be able to visit the front line of Cangyan Mountain during this trip. I have long heard that Cangyan is the most beautiful mountain in the southwest, so I have to go and see it."
The two Taoist priests nodded repeatedly.
The beautiful woman sneered. She glanced at Luochuan and said quietly, "The tree is still but the wind is not stopping. Have you forgotten...that note...?"
