Time is slow

   Chapter 386 Revisiting the Old Place

  The boat traveled for more than ten days, the autumn was getting stronger, the river was full of water, and the big boat finally docked at Jiafeng Wharf.

  Qiao Zhao stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Jiafeng City in the morning mist, with a very complicated mood.

   "Zhaozhao, get off the boat." Shao Mingyuan stood beside her and reminded softly.

  Qiao Zhao returned to his senses and nodded to Shao Mingyuan: "Yes."

  Jiafeng, she is finally back.

   "Would you like to say hello to the local government?" Yang Houcheng came over to discuss with Shao Mingyuan.

   "No, I'd better go to Xingzilin Qiao's house to settle down first." Shao Mingyuan glanced at Jin Wuwei behind Yang Houcheng, and said in a low voice, "They—"

   Unlike him, Yang Houcheng and the others followed in the name of protecting Qiao Zhao to the South China Sea. When they stopped halfway, some of them would inevitably feel dissatisfied.

Yang Houcheng grinned: "Don't worry, these people were picked by me, they are reliable. Besides, the faces of Shi Xi and I in front of the Queen Mother are no smaller than the Ninth Princess, even if the Queen Mother knew, she would at most scold us for being playful. Blame it. Shi Xi, don't you think so?"

  Chi Can stood not far away, nodded slightly, and said a little impatiently: "Let's go, what is Chu doing here?"

   The group left, and a man with ordinary eyebrows went to Jinlinwei's place to report: "Fifth Master, Miss Li and her group disembarked at our Jiafeng Wharf."

  A man sitting on a reclining chair had a book on his face. Hearing this, he took off the book and revealed his face.

   This is a very recognizable face, with a slightly curved nose and deep eyebrows, but when he opened his eyes, he seemed to be stared at by a poisonous snake, which made people feel hairless for no reason.

   His voice was as cold as his temperament: "Disembarking in Jiafeng? What are you doing, go and find out if those people are disembarking temporarily, or if they have other plans."

"Yes."

   After his subordinates left, Jiang Wu stood up and took a few steps in the courtyard.

   Although Jinlinwei is well-informed, they don't have the magical powers to know the origin of every person who comes to Jiafeng. The reason why they pay special attention to Miss Li and her party is because of the explanation from the capital.

   As far as he knows, all towns where Jinlin Guards are stationed have received news, and they are paying close attention to Miss Li and her party.

  The leaves of the trees in the courtyard have turned yellow, and they have fallen on the bluestone bricks to form a thin golden carpet. Jiang Wu stepped on the golden carpet with deep thoughts.

  Why does foster father pay so much attention to a little girl? This thing is really incomprehensible.

  I don't know what to think, Jiang Wu kicked the tree trunk beside him fiercely, the leaves fell rustling, he raised his hand to brush the dead leaves that fell on his shoulders, and strode into the house.

   It was quiet in the study. Jiang Wu pulled out a pair of insoles with acupuncture and moxibustion from a dark compartment, rubbed it lightly for a long time, and then put it away again.

  Xingzilin was not in Jiafeng City, and Qiao Zhao and his party went to the suburbs.

  Qiao Zhao was accompanied by Binglu and Azhu into a temporarily bought carriage, while Shao Mingyuan and others rode on both sides of the carriage.

   "With so many of us, the Jinlin Guards probably stared at them as soon as we got off the boat." Yang Houcheng glanced behind him and said with emotion.

   He could never forget Jiang Yuanchao from time to time on the way back to Beijing from Jiafeng a few months ago.

   "Let them watch." Chi Can said lazily.

   Ever since Qiao Zhao sent that box of ointment to Shao Mingyuan, he seemed to have lost his mind and returned to his usual appearance.

   "I'm afraid they will spread the news of our stay in Jiafeng."

  Chi Can smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry, even if it is passed back, it will only be passed on to Jiang Tang. He will not bother the emperor with such trivial matters."

   "That's right." Yang Houcheng nodded and asked Shao Mingyuan, "Tingquan, why don't you speak?"

   Shao Mingyuan took his eyes back from the carriage: "Huh?"

  Yang Houcheng supported his forehead and muttered, "I really convinced you!"

   He never imagined that once a good friend who only knew how to lead troops to fight for a long time would fall in love with a girl, it would be like an old house on fire.

  Thinking like this, Yang Houcheng glanced at Chi Can quietly, and when he saw his indifferent expression, he was secretly relieved.

  Fortunately, Shi Xi probably really gave up, otherwise he would have a headache.

   Speaking of which, why are they all tempted by a little girl who has not yet reached her age? Fortunately, he and Zizhe are normal, otherwise he will start to doubt life.

   "The village in front of you is Xingzilin, right?" Shao Mingyuan took the reins and looked at it.

   "Yes, that is Baiyun Village. We used to drink tea at the village chief's house." Yang Houcheng said.

  Shao Mingyuan thought for a while and asked for their opinions: "How about we just stay in Baiyun Village?"

  Chi Can couldn't help but think of the bitter rough tea at the entrance of the village chief's house, subconsciously raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Whatever."

   In the afternoon, Baiyun Village was quiet and peaceful. Several big dogs lay lazily on the ground. They stood up vigilantly when they heard the movement, and ran to stop in front of the group of people shaking their fur.

   As the group approached, a big dog barked suddenly, followed by barks one after another.

The villagers who heard the movement rubbed their eyes and pushed open the door to check. They were stunned when they saw Shao Mingyuan and the others riding a tall horse, then quickly walked over and asked tentatively, "Where are you from? Come to our village to find someone. ?"

   Shao Mingyuan got off his horse, held the reins and said gently and politely, "Uncle, let's find the village chief."

  The villagers looked at Shao Mingyuan a few times, then quickly glanced at Miao Chi Can and the others, nodded and said, "Wait a minute."

   These people look extravagant, and they are not easy to provoke at first sight. Naturally, they want to ask the village chief to make up their minds.

  The villagers ran to inform the village chief, Chi Can dismounted, pointed to a large house not far away, and said to Shao Mingyuan, "That is the village chief's home."

   "Did you two come together last time?" Shao Mingyuan asked.

   "Yes." Chi Can glanced back at the stopped carriage, and said lightly, "Li San was also there. I brought her here, but I didn't stay overnight."

   He was silent for a while, then smiled: "Don't worry."

   Shao Mingyuan sighed in his heart and said in a low voice, "I want to ask, was there anything unusual in the village at that time?"

  Chi Can realized that he had misunderstood, and twitched the corners of his lips: "Very quiet, not this kind of peaceful quiet, but deadly quiet, and only later learned that it was related to the fire in the Qiao family."

   "So, my husband-in-law's family has a lot of influence on the people of Baiyun Village." Shao Mingyuan muttered.

  Chi Can sneered: "Tingquan, in front of Li San in the future, will you also take a bite of your husband's family?"

   Shao Mingyuan coughed lightly: "This is an irreversible fact."

  Chi Can approached Shao Mingyuan's ear and whispered: "To be honest, I feel that Li San is aggrieved by following you. A good girl came to be your successor."

   But who made Reizo like him?

   He could see clearly that Li San didn't care about these false names. He could only add to his friends, and let out a sigh of anger in his heart.

   The fifth update.
