After entering the city, everyone rushed to the restaurant where Qiuniang delivered the letter - Shuiyunjian.

Shuiyunjian is a top-notch restaurant. It is located on the busiest street in Qingzhou City. There are people coming and going, and there are hawker stalls all around. It is very lively.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mustache and a big belly all the year round, and he is always greeted with a smiling face.

He took the letter from Qiuniang, read it carefully several times, nodded repeatedly, and said, "You guys, please go upstairs. The rooms, food and drinks are ready upstairs. I'll send someone to help Qiuniang." Prepare."

Originally, I wanted to look for Shen Yike as soon as I entered the city, but until dusk, I never saw him, and I couldn't even contact him.

"My lord, apart from the letter I received last night, I haven't received any other news so far."

"What about sending letters?"

Mu Huashu pursed his lips, shook his head, and the message went silent.

Chu Shou turned his eyes and thought, "Generally, the reception of censors and supervisors should stop in the state capital."

Mu Huashu replied: "He only said in the letter that he was in the state capital, but now there is no news. It's really strange."

"Then let's go and have a look?" Chu Shou suggested with a smile, and continued: "Anyway, what kind of guidance does Keyan have for the two of them, sneak in and have a look?"

Song Yanqing lowered his eyes and nodded slightly. If he couldn't be contacted, he had to look for it by himself.

Chu Shou thought of Cangcuo and Yuetong, who had been in a daze for almost a day, and was afraid that they would be dazzled by the drug, so he clambered up the stairs on the handrail.

As soon as the room was arranged, he quickly took out the antidote, but he didn't dare to loosen the ties. Fang lifted Cangcuo's veil and saw her eyes open, staring at her gloomyly. Chu Shou couldn't help asking: "When did you wake up?"

Cang Cuo pursed his lips, frowned lightly, and said nothing.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot about you..."

Forget that she is dumb.

As soon as Yuetong woke up, she began to struggle, growling viciously, and said to Chu Shou: "Liar! What kind of young master are you!"

Chu Shou sighed and put his hips on his hips, "With your mental state...you just say what I did is right?"

"I'm not a liar. I will do what I promised you."

As he spoke, Chu Shou took out a small medicine bottle from his waist, and there was a small red pill in it. This is the medicine that Cang Cuo wanted to refine. In fact, it is not necessary to collect the pure yang blood of hundreds of people. There are other alternatives. Cangcuo is obsessed with refining medicine, which is more important than she imagined.

She sent it to Cangcuo's nose, and after she sniffed it lightly, Cangcuo's dim eyes soon became bright, and she nodded slightly towards Yuetong, who was also happy, but still looked at Chu Shou unhappy, He snorted twice.

Chu Shou pursed his lips, and put the medicine bottle by the bedside of the two of them. As for the rest, it will be left to Keyan, after all, it is their business to take Cangcuo back.

Ke Yanyue naturally took over the job of bidding for the road guide, and dragged Chu Shou to wander the streets for a long time, which was also novel and that was also novel.

The gate of the mansion was closed, only the side door was open, and there was still a queue at the side door, people from all over the place were waiting to give directions. Leaving Ke Yanyue aside, Chu Shou wandered around the outer wall to the backyard of the mansion.
Looking up at the back wall, Sanqian appeared from behind her, looked at the back wall as well, and asked, "Miss, is Mr. Shen really in there?"

Chu Shou shook his head and said seriously, "It's true in the letter."

"Master Song and Miss Mu have already gone in, shall we go in again?"

Chu Shou lifted the skirt and robe, approached the back wall, put his hands and feet on it, then quickly took two steps back, looked up at the high wall, shook his head and said: "No, no, I can't climb up..."

After finishing speaking, he walked from the alley behind to the street with three thousand on his arm, and obediently lined up.

Professional matters have to be left to professionals.

On the road, I met an old man asking for directions. The old man was hunched over, but he was kind-hearted, but he coughed for a while, and his voice was a little hoarse. Asked: "Miss, is this a government office?"

"It's the government office, this is the backyard, go straight along the alley, and turn left is the main entrance." Sanqian replied.

"You? This is..." Chu Shou heard that his coughing sound was not quite right, so he asked a few more words.

The old man scratched his head in embarrassment, and replied with a smile: "The young one is a villager of Houqiu Village, come to get some grain silver for the big one."

Chu Shou nodded, and said again: "The main entrance of the government office is in front, you just go straight."

The old man thanked him again and again, and walked forward briskly.

Passing by Ke Yanyue, she didn't take much rest, just ran all the way towards Chu Shou, muttering in her mouth: "The Fuya's bid for the road is so fast, I wonder if it's the Yuanshan Inn Qiuniang lied to us."

She said again: "The government government can handle it so quickly, and the designation of the place is easier."

Ke Yanyue spoke quickly, looked left and right, and before Chu Shou could answer, she asked again: "Why didn't you go in? The two of you are flying hand in hand, hand in hand, you can't even climb over the wall here..."

"I just can't turn it over...what's the matter?"

Chu Shou bent down and rubbed his kneecaps, giving up on himself, getting Shen Yike back was the most important thing, no matter what he went hand in hand...

"Anyway, remember what I said, go straight to the point when necessary, find opportunities to get along with each other more, oops, I won't be able to help you much in the future..."

Chu Shou raised his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Ke Yanyue shook Lu Yin in her hand, "My brother and I have been out for more than half a month, and it was already overdue. We finally found Cangcuo, and we have to hurry back and return to our orders. The patriarch lost his beloved apprentice, which can be a delay." I'm sorry..."

"I planned to get the road guide and leave. I thought it would take two or three days. I really didn't expect it to be so soon."

Chu Shou didn't expect them to be in such a hurry, entering the city from the north and exiting from the south, but each tribe has its own rules, and it's not easy for her to stop her, so she could only nod her head and say "Treasure".

Ke Yanyue took two steps back, bowed respectfully and respectfully: "Farewell, young master."

@
Chu Shou and Keyanyue went back to the inn together, they didn't make much preparations, so they set off quickly.

But night fell soon, and when the lights were dim, the four of them got into the carriage, said goodbye briefly, and walked along the road.

Chu Shou was wrapped in a cloak and cloak, watching the carriage drift away, Ah Shui stood aside, supported her arm, and said softly: "Miss, it's cold outside, it looks like it's going to rain again, let's Let's go back."

"I'm thinking... I seem to have seen this kind of scene many times, my mother, my father, Shang Qi, Ah Zhi, Gu Chengye... It seems that none of them have said goodbye properly."

"Why did Miss suddenly think of the old man?" Sanqian asked.

Chu Shou raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and stretched out her hand. Straits of rainwater fell on the palm of her hand like a sliver of rain, and it was icy cold. Suddenly, a paper umbrella covered her head. When she looked up, she saw only a touch of green. , but not the person in mind.

Chu Shou was stunned for a moment, looked at the person in front of him, took a few steps back again and again into the rain, and asked with doubts in his eyes, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Luo Qi handed the umbrella to Ah Shui who was on the side, put the hood behind the cloak on his head, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up: "The copper mine has become a big deal, You Yan sent an envoy to visit, Your Majesty wants me to Going out of the city to make contact, I wanted to go straight to the Qingzhou government office, but I saw you standing here, the princess, as if you were... saying goodbye to your friend?"

Chu Shou followed his line of sight and saw a carriage parked across the street, followed by a large group of people, all wearing light armor and holding a big knife at their waist, ready to fight. The leader was staring at them, not daring to slack off.

Luo Qi has a special status and cannot leave the capital. Now he is sent out to contact the envoy You Yan. He thinks that his visit to the copper mine has already endangered the two countries.

But even if he leaves the capital, Luo Qi, as You Yan's proton, has no real rights, and even has to be strictly guarded by a large group of people.

Seeing that she noticed a group of people behind her, Luo Qi darkened his eyes and said with a wry smile: "That's not all, I heard that there are also a group of hidden guards coming."

His tone sounded relaxed, but there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes. Chu Shou looked up at him and joked, "Didn't Your Majesty say that we should investigate secretly? With so many people, the bad guys will be scared away."

"Since the envoys are coming, perhaps there is no need to hide it anymore. I think Jingzhong has already sent the news to the Qingzhou prefecture. I am afraid that Zhizhou will come to welcome you and Master Song soon."

After Chu Shou heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Your Majesty... it means that if it thunders, it will thunder, and if it rains, it will rain."

Originally, they wanted to get in touch with Shen Yike first, so as to communicate with each other inside and outside. He circled inside, and they investigated outside. Now that they have confirmed that the people in Linglongzhai did not mine copper mines privately, and the government surrounded the mountain overnight, and Qingzhou City was strictly controlled. , all kinds of abnormal signs have not been able to get rid of the fog, and they are blocked again...

Once you get the trouble, who will stand still and let you investigate? The biggest obstacle on her way to investigate the matter is not those people hiding in the dark, the biggest is...

"If Your Majesty is determined to investigate, then he will investigate. It will always be loud and squib. This was the case with the assassination last time, and it will be the same this time."

Chu Shou raised his hand impatiently and let go of the cape, letting the cold air pour in.

"Miss, be careful." Ah Shui interrupted Chu Shou, because an official in a crimson official uniform got off the opposite carriage, straightened his veil cap and walked towards this side, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the road has been delayed for a long time , we should set off for Fuzhou."

This is Zhan Yingshao, Minister of Honglu Temple, who is about forty and five years old, and was ordered to come to contact Special Envoy You Yan together with Prince Xing's son.

He turned his eyes to look at the woman next to Luo Qi, fixed his eyes, and busily worshiped, and shouted: "Xiaguan Honglu Temple Zhan Yingshao pays homage to Princess Ruchuan, Princess Wan'an."

Chu Shou waved his hand to ask him to stand up, and asked anxiously, "Master Zhan, what can you say to your majesty for sending you here?"

"Returning to the Princess, His Majesty ordered that Mr. Du Yushi continue to thoroughly investigate the copper mine and clear the area. We must give an explanation to the two countries."

"Du Yushi..." Chu Shou lowered his eyes and murmured, and then asked, "What about me?"

Zhan Yingshao turned his body sideways, Luo Qi took two steps back, and turned his eyes to other places. He replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty only said... Please also consider the friendship between the two countries."

How much attention should be paid to the friendship between the two countries?

A trace of displeasure flashed in Chu Shou's eyes, and he asked, "Then, should we investigate or not investigate the smuggling of copper mines?"

Once you want to investigate, you will definitely be found, and when you ask the envoys about their crimes, they will not necessarily admit it, but will beat you up instead. Your Majesty does not want to fight with You Yan, but he needs to be afraid of You Yan from time to time. They are eager to move, and they don't know What is the purpose of coming here this time?

Zhan Yingshao hurriedly replied: "Investigate! Of course we need to investigate!"

"It's just...the place needs to be cleared, so let's go."

Chu Shou asked again: "You Yan is here at this juncture, what do you want?"

Originally, the matter had not been assigned to You Yan, yet they rushed forward in such a hurry.

Zhan Yingshao looked at Chu Shou's repressed expression, and said without confidence: "If you say anything, you need to cooperate with our country's supervision to prove your innocence, and to quell the hostile public opinion between the two countries. You can't stop it..."

"Can't stop it? Ming Qi is a big country, they can enter whenever they want, and envoys from other countries come to visit, if His Majesty does not allow..."

"Miss! Be careful..."

Ah Shui hurriedly grabbed Chu Shou, really afraid that she would say something disrespectful again... Zhan Yingshao was so frightened that she lowered her head and kept wiping the thin sweat from her forehead.

"Master Zhan, it's getting late, let's go to the state capital quickly."

Luo Qi stood up and saved Zhan Yingshao who was in dire straits with one sentence. Zhan Yingshao immediately answered the words, and before he had time to say goodbye, he immediately turned and walked towards the carriage, fearing that he would be caught by Chu Shou again and questioned.

"Your Highness, let's go first, and the princess will wait here for the magistrate of Qingzhou, who is hardworking and hardworking, to pick him up in person." Chu Shou frowned angrily, his face full of displeasure.

Luo Qi saw that she was very cute when she was angry, raised his lips and smiled, and turned around after bowing.

"Your Highness! Your umbrella!" Ah Shui noticed the handle of the umbrella in his hand, and when he realized that the umbrella should be returned to its original owner, he hurriedly called out.

Luo Qi stopped and turned around, nodded slightly, and replied: "I will give it to the Princess."

After finishing speaking, he crossed the less bustling street and walked up to Chu Shou again. He stretched out his hand, and with a burst of warmth, he deftly fastened the loose cape ribbon around Chu Shou's neck, and gathered her robe again.

Then he turned his head and raised his hand to adjust the tassel pendant on the bun behind Chu Shou's ear, passed through the reddish ear, and stroked the broken hair behind her ear, his eyes were like peach blossoms, his eyes were gentle, and he was very intimate with her He smiled, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't thank me too much."

Chu Shou frowned, not easy to get angry, and he couldn't understand what he said in an inexplicable whisper, "What did you say?"

As Luo Qi turned and crossed the street, Chu Shou turned around to go back to the inn without knowing why, but before turning around, he met Song Yanqing's eyes who were standing on the other side of the inn door.

He was wearing a sleek black suit, the rain was still falling as thin as silk threads, his black hair was tied up on the back of his neck, the ear bones were slightly red, his long eyelashes fluttered, and a mist was brewing in his eyes. Being watched by him like this, Chu Shou suddenly felt cramped as if he had bumped into his lover.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her eyes flickered, she pushed Ah Shui, and urged in a low voice: "Rain...rain..."

Signaling her to hold an umbrella for Song Yan, Ah Shui walked over with the umbrella in fear, and Sanqian almost stopped her. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to hold the umbrella...
