last time

Chapter 121
Tong Rong immersed himself in looking at the records of that day. Shao Hui was still holding the letter that had just been delivered from Jinpeng in a hurry. He suspected that Tiequn Port was not safe, but he didn't find anything.

Tong Rong looked up at Shao Hui in the spare time, and said, "What's wrong, brother, don't you continue to investigate?"

Shao Hui shook his head, lifted the letter in his hand and shook it, and said, "I'll check it later, there's a letter."

"Master Wang Cheng recruited?" Tong Rong put down the books and read the letter with Shao Hui.Wang Cheng pretended to be crazy and stupid, but Li Yuchuan's meaning was also very obvious. He didn't believe Wang Cheng, so Shao Hui Tongrong had to investigate this matter thoroughly, and nothing could be missed.

Shao Hui followed Tong Rong to the desk, looked down at the place Tong Rong marked, and said, "What did you find?"

Tong Rong pointed to the booklet and said, "You mean this? It's not something I discovered. It's just that we deal with these people often and are trustworthy. If we have any problems, we can directly bypass them or ask for help."

Shao Hui didn't speak, but just lowered his head and smiled softly. Tong Rong's personality was outgoing and cheerful. He could handle the Hong Kong and Hong Kong affairs perfectly through his connections. Although he saved a lot of trouble, he still needed to come forward whenever he encountered difficulties.Shao Hui enjoyed it, he didn't find it so troublesome.

"Let's go to the pier now." Tong Rong closed the booklet and said, "We've been stuck with Commander Jin for too long, so it's better to go and supervise."

Shao Hui nodded and said, "Go and put on your cloak."

Hearing this, Tong Rong picked up the cloak on the hanger, and was still thinking about going to the bank to have a look. He hadn't reported any news about the bank recently, so he always felt uneasy.What happened to Wang Cheng left him with lingering fears. After all, they trusted Wang Cheng very much before, and all the things sent from Yidong to other places went through Wang Cheng's hands. He had no excuse to exonerate him and Shao Hui.

This is not something that can be solved with the first batch of criticism.They are not unclear about the internal situation in Gaodu. Li Chengru defected and robbed the prince because of the deaths of Han Congzhong and Zhuo Ran. He has already wiped out everyone who could threaten him. As long as the prince is in hand, he can threaten the first generation at any time. Yu, unless the first generation Yu killed his relatives righteously.

At that time, everything was upside down, so how could he and Shao Hui be better off.Originally, he just wanted to guard the port to spend his life in peace, but who knew that he had to worry about the changing situation above.

Tong Rong sighed deeply in his heart, but smiled on his face, and stuffed the cloak into Shao Hui's arms.

"I'm not cold, you should wear it." Tong Rong looked up at Shao Hui and said, "If it has been raining recently, the boat going out will not be able to leave."

Shao Hui grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him back, shook off the cloak and wrapped it around him, tied the belt for him, and said: "It depends on the sky, and we can't decide. After the inspection here, we have to go Commander Jin over there."

Tong Rong's pupils dilated and said, "Why do you want to go?"

"The matter hasn't been settled yet." Shao Hui straightened his clothes, pinched his collar and lifted them up. Seeing his rare reluctance, he said, "What's the matter, is there someone you don't like?"

How should I put it.He went to the side of Ruoshui Bay once, and was misunderstood as an assassin. Although he was finally cleared of suspicion, he was always driven by suspicion like this, and he would definitely not feel at ease.

The most important thing is that he and his brother live well, and they have to consider the sudden attack of others, which is very speechless.

"No." Tong Rong closed his eyes, raised his head and said, "I'm just sleepy, and I really don't want to run."

Shao Hui frowned, stretched out his arms to support him, and said, "You were alive just now, what's going on now?"

Tong Rong shook his head, buried his face in Shao Hui's arms and took a sharp breath, then stood up and said, "I'm done, let's go."

Yan Qingyao dragged her long skirt into the palace, and Ye Lanyi still coaxed Chuyun to ask Xia Qiong to put away Yan Qingyao's cape, and then led people to the back room.

Yan Qingyao reached out and pinched Chu Yunfen's hand, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you these days, you can't even leave the house."

After Chu Shiyu was sent back from Chu Yun, he ordered Ye Lanyi to bring Chu Yun in the palace and not leave the palace.Jiang Rulan told Chu Shiyu the speculation that Li Xunchuan told him, but did not mention Li Xunchuan and Zhuo Ran. In order to let Li Chengru be alerted everywhere, he could only pretend that Chuyun hadn't found him yet.

It is even more outrageous to spread it to the outside world. It is said that Li Chengru intends to become another Han Congzhong, train a new emperor to take Chu Shiyu and replace him.For Chu Yun's safety, he could only say this.

Ye Lanyi smiled and said, "You come here every day, I'm sure I won't be bored."

"Will he still be unable to sleep now?" Yan Qingyao saw that Chu Yun had sneezed several times, reached out to touch his forehead, and said, "But he looks much better."

Ye Lanyi nodded and said, "It's okay. Stop standing, sit down."

Yan Qingyao stretched out her hand to hug Chuyun and said, "I'll hold you for a while, you rest."

"It's more effective than Xia Qiong." Ye Lanyi gently rubbed her numb arm, and when she mentioned Xia Qiong, she thought of Dongzhu, and she hadn't seen Dongzhu's attendant in the past few days, so she asked.

Yan Qingyao patted Chu Yun's back lightly, and said, "She said something happened at home, and it happens that I'm fine recently, so I'll let her go back for a few days."

"That's pretty good," Ye Lanyi smiled, raised her eyebrows to look at Xia Qiong, and said, "Why don't I get someone to send you back to Xiqi?"

Xia Qiong immediately shook his head.

Before the smile on Yan Qingyao's face stopped, she slowly lowered her eyes, looked at Chu Yun's drowsy appearance, and handed him over to Xia Qiong.

"Keep your voice down, take the prince down to rest." Xia Qiong carefully hugged Chuyun, turned around and retreated.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lanyi looked at her expression and said, "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Yan Qingyao sighed deeply, she bit her lip, and said, "When I went to the pilgrimage hall to deliver late ginger tea to His Majesty, I heard him and Tian Wuruo talking about Beili and the border, which was related to Yi Dong."

"It's a war?... No, it's related to Yi Dong, that's food!" Ye Lanyi frowned and said, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Yan Qingyao looked at Ye Lanyi and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I just said that the food and salaries delivered to the Beili border a few months ago were exchanged for silver and sold on the way, and the things that were budgeted to be sent were greatly reduced."

"What?" Ye Lanyi's pupils shrank suddenly, her fingers pinched the armrest of the rattan chair, and said anxiously, "Why?"

Yan Qingyao said: "This matter is just scratching the surface. I heard that a batch of food and salaries from Luzhou were also exchanged halfway. Now Luzhou has not sent back the news, and I don't know the details."

"The ancient Qiang people didn't give up attacking Dayu so easily. Since they occupied the three states of Yongxintu, they had to find a way to attack the border and Beili. If there was a problem with the logistics and payment, wouldn't it be..." Ye Lanyi Not daring to think about the consequences, he said, "It's Li Chengru, isn't it?"

"I don't know..." Yan Qingyao lowered her head and said, "Now that Li Chengru is in Los Angeles, our news may not be really credible. It's going to be worse than this."

Ye Lanyi clenched her fingers tightly and said, "I... If Jun'an can't hold on anymore, Ye Ji might not be able to rush over to help him. If father finds out, he..."

Yan Qingyao sighed, and said: "Look at you, I'm hesitating whether I should tell you or not. If I tell you, you will be so panic-stricken and thinking wildly. The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so don't worry..."

"...Besides, I eavesdropped on these things. If you really look for His Majesty, it will be another crime." Yan Qingyao reached out to hold her hand and said, "Listen to me, don't worry, wait for the news."

Ye Lanyi closed her eyes.

Luanying turned around from the street before arriving at her destination. She looked up at the signboard of Wuhualou, and someone came to greet her by the door.

When Luanying stepped into the door, Qingxiang greeted her immediately: "Miss Luying is here, come talk to me in the wing."

"it is good."

As soon as Qingxiang asked someone to make a pot of good tea, Luanying didn't even say any polite words, and went straight to the point, saying: "Miss Qingxiang, I don't know how the investigation of the matter that the second young master ordered before is going well."

Qingxiang smiled, and said: "It has been found out. Rouge girl was bought back by Wu Lianyi at that time. Wu Lianyi would only use the private seal with the permission of Marquis Wu, but Wu Xiuting did not have this requirement, so she bought it for the first time. The person who put the rouge on is Wu Xiuting who used Wu Lianyi's private seal."

Luan Ying suddenly realized, and nodded when she heard the words.

"By the way, that Rouge girl's child..." Qingxiang looked at Luanying and said, "Actually, her biological father was already by her side."

Luan Ying smiled and said, "Second Young Master said that Wu Xiu Ting is smiling like a tiger, and he looks really good."

Qingxiang said: "But Wu Xiuting is also very important to Er Shao, if Yan Zhi wants to use Er Shao's hand to get rid of Wu Xiuting, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Luanying shook her head and said: "If Yanzhi wants to live, she can only let Wu Xiuting go. Wu Lianyi has a good temper, and it is impossible for him to abandon Yanzhi because of this. Besides, he himself admitted at that time that he wanted to recognize this child, Your Majesty As a witness, he certainly dare not resist the order."

"That's not necessarily true." Qingxiang said softly, "It all depends on whether the Wuxiu Pavilion is worth it or not."

Luanying nodded slightly, and said: "We will keep in touch, but you have to check what happened in Luzhou recently. Some people profit from it, and see if it is beneficial to us."

Haruka nodded and said, "I know."

After making arrangements for Xiyu and Gu Zhao, Li Xunchuan asked Gu Zhao carefully about his aunt's affairs in Luzhou, and finally told them to go back and get ready.

Zhuo Ran seemed a little bit wrong last night, Li Xunchuan was worried that she would catch the cold and heat, so he tied her up on the bed, and Zhuo Ran hadn't woken up yet, Li Xunchuan took a handkerchief and wiped her face.

"...It's so hot." Zhuo Ran stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and touched Li Yanchuan's cheek with his slightly sweaty palm.

"Wipe your hands." Li Yuchuan grabbed her fidgeting hand, wiped it carefully, and said, "Time is a little tight, we have to go after you eat something."

Zhuo Ran woke up immediately, she looked at Li Yuchuan and smiled, and said, "You really only take me?"

Li Xunchuan leaned down and rubbed her face, and said, "That's right."

Zhuo Ran was about to get up from the bed, and as soon as she lifted the quilt and sat down, she covered her mouth and sneezed a few times, and then coughed a few times.Li Xunchuan sighed for a long time, and said helplessly, "I just knew..."

"What do you know?" Her voice became hoarse just after she sneezed, sounding aggrieved.

Li Xunchuan smiled and scratched her nose, and said, "I know you have to take medicine again."

He turned around and took Zhuo Ran's clothes for her to wear one by one. Last night, Qi Yuan sent over a thick cloak with a wind collar, which will come in handy today.

"Raise your hand." Li Yanchuan hugged Zhuo Ran, tied the lace at the back for her, went around to fix the belt, and then put on her coat.

Zhuo Ran twisted her body in his arms, and said a little uncomfortable: "You seem to be a little tight..."

Li Xunchuan laughed: "Why didn't you say it when I was just exerting strength? That's it, bear with it."

Li Xunchuan put the water socks on for her, changed a pair of shoes, squatted on the ground and adjusted the small tassels on the front of the shoes for her, and said, "Stand up."

Zhuo Ran stood up, looked down at Li Yanchuan, and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Xunchuan grabbed her arm and stood up, and said with a smile, "I always feel like an old father, dressing a toddler."

"Heh..." Zhuo Ran also smiled and said, "Then you can get used to it in advance."

Li Xunchuan stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms, clasped her waist, lowered his head and approached her lips, and said, "What do you mean, you want to..."

"I want to eat!" Zhuo Ran put his hand on his chest and gently pushed him away, saying, "I'm going to starve to death."

Li Xunchuan pulled her to the table, brought her a bowl of milk, and said, "Drink this, you can grow taller."

Zhuo Ran looked up at him, Li Yuchuan smiled and said, "It's not hot anymore, just drink it."

"Oh..." Zhuo Ran took it with both hands, and drank it up from the bowl.

Li Xunchuan stared at Zhuo Ran without moving, and waited until the person finished drinking before pressing her to sit down, and said: "You eat something first, I'll go and talk to them, and I'll pick you up directly in a while."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "Okay."

It's only a three-day journey to Luzhou for horseback riding. Li Yanchuan packed up everything. He didn't forget the medicine box Mu Heng gave when he left, but he needed to pack lightly. He only picked up some important things.

Fortunately, Zhuo Ran didn't suffer much along the way, the wind and cold seemed to go away with a few sneezes, and it was considered safe and sound when he arrived in Luzhou. Li Yuchuan found a small shop, took a closer look at the surrounding environment, and stayed there only when he felt safe. down.

Zhuo Ran was hugged by Li Yanchuan, and she was already sweating all over. As soon as she entered the room, she wanted to take off her clothes, but was stopped by Li Yanchuan who had just stepped into the door.

"It's a little uncomfortable." Zhuo Ran stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Yanchuan's hand on her shoulder, and looked sideways at him: "I want to take a bath."

Li Xunchuan motioned her to look at the window, and said, "Don't take off your clothes in a hurry, I will close the window to warm up before taking off, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhuo Ran shook her head and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so careful when you are so delicate."

Li Xunchuan just went to close the window, took her to the couch and pulled off the wind collar for her, and then untied the tie of the cloak.

"You are like this, I really feel like a little waste." Zhuo Ran hurriedly shook off the cloak, felt the long-lost coolness, and took a comfortable breath.

"That's just my little trash." Li Yuchuan put his hand on Zhuo Ran's shoulder, kissed her neck to neck, and then parted and smiled on Zhuo Ran's shoulder.

Zhuo Ran stretched out his hand to poke his face. Li Xunchuan's face was very soft and elastic. Zhuo Ran used his fingertips to lightly stroke his brow bone, then swept down the bridge of his nose, went around his lips to his chin, and found his neck. Protruding Adam's apple.

Li Xunchuan smiled, his Adam's apple began to tremble, and then moved up and down as he swallowed, Zhuo Ran suddenly thought of the first time she was in Gaodu, she used this thing to make Li Xunchuan angry .

"What are you laughing at?" Li Yanchuan looked up at her and said, "Is it still hot now?"

Zhuo Ran shook his head, pointed at his Adam's apple and said, "It's not hot. But Chi Yue, why did you say you can't touch this place? When I touched Chang Yinyu's place, he didn't react at all. Why did you..."

Li Xunchuan sat up abruptly, frowned at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Have you ever met Chang Yinyu?"

Zhuo Ran gave a meaningful "oh", she seemed to understand something, smiled lightly, and said, "It's good, only I know, this is a weakness of the governor."

"Zhuo Xiaqiu?" Li Xunchuan looked at her.

Zhuo Ran: "Yes."

Li Xunchuan smiled badly, he put his cold fingers into Zhuo Ran's back collar, shrank her body, and only leaned into his arms. Li Xunchuan pinched the back of her neck, and Zhuo Ran was forced to raise his head.

"This is my weakness..." Li Yanchuan blew lightly next to her ear, a tendon in Zhuo Ran's head tensed immediately, she held Li Yanchuan's arm tightly, and Li Yanchuan continued to say: " ...but no one else knows, only you."

He leaned his neck sideways and kissed Zhuo Ran, from the middle to his chin, and then went up to cover her lips. Zhuo Ran smiled slightly, and opened his mouth between the kisses.

Li Xunchuan stayed there for a short time, and at the end, he tapped his teeth lightly as if venting his anger. Zhuo Ran hissed and looked at him with a frown.

Li Xunchuan laughed triumphantly, Zhuo Ran clenched his lower lip, and rolled into the couch like a temper, ignoring him.Li Xunchuan put the clothes she took off on the hanger and tidied them up. He looked back at Zhuo Ran, but still couldn't help laughing.

"Xiaqiu, go take a bath." Li Yuchuan patted her arm and said, "Didn't you just make a fuss about taking a bath, get up quickly."

Zhuo Ran buried her face in the pillow and ignored him.

"If you don't get up, I'll carry you over." Sitting on the side of the couch, Li Yanchuan said, "I still want to talk to you about business, hurry up."

"I don't!" Zhuo Ran reached out to find the quilt, pulled it off and covered her head.

Li Xunchuan smiled helplessly, had no choice but to take off his outer shirt, lay down on the couch with her, grabbed the corner of the quilt to cover his stomach, wanted to touch Zhuo Ran but resisted.

After a while, Li Yuchuan's breathing became steady.

Zhuo Ran turned around with a big ball of quilt in her arms, and saw Li Yanchuan covering her eyes with one arm and resting her other hand on the corner of the quilt. She seemed to be fast asleep. Zhuo Ran turned sideways slightly and parted the quilt in her arms. Go out and cover him.

"What are you doing?" Li Yanchuan grabbed Zhuo Ran's arm and pulled him into his arms.
