Riding the Pheonix Chapter 564: cruise boat


The whole city knew that the Holy Emperor had left Beijing, and Su Tu naturally got the news.

"The woman also followed?"

The barbarian musician answered yes.

Su Tu said: "This is a good time. As soon as the Emperor of Qi leaves, the main force of their forbidden army will definitely accompany him, as well as many of the officials. The capital will be half empty... It's a pity, right. We are useless."

Their strength is too small, and they have not even deployed all their personnel.

Su Tu sighed, asked a few more things, stood up and planned to leave.

The barbarian musician asked: "Sir, do you still live in Zhegui Tower?"

Seeing that he seemed to have unfinished words, Su Tu asked: "What?"

The Hu musician said: "The relationship behind Zhegui Tower is complicated. My subordinates discovered that there may be hidden connections from the Qi court there. Would you like me to change to an inn?"

Su Tu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just be careful."

His prestige was so great that the barbarian musicians did not dare to argue: "Yes."

Su Tu got off the boat, walked slowly to Zhegui Tower, and stopped.

If he had followed his past habits, he would have immediately changed his location, but just now, he refused without hesitation.

Su Tu didn't want to explore the meaning behind this idea, but instinctively felt it was dangerous.

As a wolf on the prairie, it’s best to trust your instincts.

Su Tu quickly made a decision and moved out of Zhegui Building immediately!

He entered the building and walked to the counter. Just as he was about to speak, the shopkeeper saw it was him and smiled and said: "Mr. Su, you came back just in time. Someone is looking for you."

Su Tu was stunned: "Who?"

"Here, it's this girl."

Su Tu turned around and saw Ah Wan standing not far away holding a box.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.

……

As night falls, the Chang Le Pond becomes noisy.

Su Tu was sitting in the cruise ship, listening to the sound of drums coming from afar.

Awan sat opposite him, skillfully boiling water and making tea.

"What is Mr. Su thinking?"

Su Tu came back to his senses and said: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt that the bright moon was like frost and the wind was like water. It was really a beautiful time."

Ah Wan laughed and said, "Is Mr. Su in a good mood? Today's moonlight is not very good, and it is so noisy, which makes me feel a little bored." After saying that, she raised her voice and called, "Boatman, row further away. , it’s too noisy here.”

The boatman agreed, and with one stroke of the oar, the boat flew away from the commotion like an arrow off the string.

Su Tu smiled and asked: "So, the girl is not in a good mood today?"

Awan replied: "A little bit indeed."

"Why?"

"Something is not going well."

Earlier, His Highness asked her to check Zhang Tan’s background, but she failed to find out. And something went wrong with the manpower sent to keep an eye on the second prince today.

Su Tu thought to himself that as a maid, it was natural that everything would be unsatisfactory, so he asked: "Being a slave, it is inevitable that you can't help yourself. Has the girl ever thought about escaping?"

Ah Wan knew that he had misunderstood, and did not intend to explain. She just smiled and said: "If I say yes, Master Su, will you be willing to help me?"

Su Tu said: "If you need money, I can help you with all my money."

Awan shook her head and smiled.

"What? The girl doesn't want to?"

Ah Wan said: "To be precise, I am not a slave, but a palace citizen."

"Palace..."

"Yes. The prisoner's family members have no citizenship." When she said these words, her expression was calm, without any disturbance, and she was even in the mood to help him refill his tea.

Su Tu was startled. So, she is not an ordinary maid, but a registered palace servant? The prisoner’s family members, that is, their families were destroyed...

"Sorry." He lowered his head, "I didn't mean to mention the girl's sadness."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not sad for a long time." Ah Wan asked him with a smile, "Let's not talk about the past. In fact, I didn't expect Mr. Su is still here. Do you want to stay in the capital for a long time? Why don't you rent a house? How about a room? Living in an inn is too expensive and too noisy."

Su Tudao: "I didn't want to live here for so long. I didn't want the bustling capital and the beautiful scenery to be enough, so I stayed here until now."

"Oh? Is this your first time in the capital, Mr. Su? Are you out for fun this time?"

"Yes. Xiye is too far away from the capital, and it is difficult to travel so far to see the world."

"Speaking of which, I'm very curious about Xiye. Mr. Su, can you tell me about the customs there to open my eyes?"

"Is this..."

……

Awan declined Su Tu's suggestion to send her back and got on the carriage that came to pick her up.

Xiaotong secretly looked through the gap in the curtain at Su Tu seeing him off on the roadside, and was extremely curious: "Sister Awan, do you have any intention of coming here to see him?"

Ah Wan leaned back on the soft pillow and said lazily: "I originally saw that he had great martial arts skills and wanted to see if I could recruit him, but I didn't expect that I couldn't find out his origins."

"Oh, so you come to find out his truth."

Awan kicked off her shoes and sat cross-legged: "That's right. And I'm even more sure now that there's something wrong with him."

"What's wrong?"

Ah Wan thought for a moment, spread her hands and said, "There is no flaw."

Xiaotong wondered: "Since there is no flaw, how can there be a problem?"

Awan rolled her eyes: "You can understand it as a woman's intuition."

Xiaotong was amused by her and said: "Then I also have intuition."

"Oh?"

"I always feel that Sister Awan pays special attention to him! This Mr. Su is another talented person. Could it be that..."

Before she finished speaking, Ah Wan pinched her cheek: "Damn girl, you are so brave, you dare to tease me!"

"Ouch!" Xiaotong cried out in pain, but did not admit defeat, "Sister, are you angry with shame? It doesn't matter~IndoMTL.com~Young girls should get married! If you are embarrassed, I will tell His Highness for you! ”

"You're still in high spirits! I'll marry you off first!"

"Hey, sister, have mercy on me, I don't dare anymore!"

The laughter faded away, and the bustling Changlechi Street slowly became quiet.

……

In November, there was a heavy snowfall in Beijing.

Yang Shu opened the door, and the cold wind rushed into his neck, making him shiver.

Axuan said: "The snow is too thick. Your Highness, why don't you wait until the snow melts before going?"

Yang Shu shook his head: "How long will this last? Anyway, the snow has stopped and the sky has cleared up, so today will be the day."

A Xuan couldn't persuade him, so he had to admit it.

"Then let's go slower on the road. If we break it, we'll be in trouble."

"Okay, I get it. You're not even old yet, so you're so verbose!"

A Xuan choked and said angrily: "My subordinates don't want to take care of it yet!"

"Hey, you are still angry. Your temper is not as good as before. Could it be that you are getting older and miss your wife?"

Axuan was defeated by his logic: "What are you talking about? Is there any connection between these two things?"

Yang Shu glanced at him and said, "The yin and yang are out of balance!"

"..." A Xuan said with a wooden face, "You should marry me first and show it to your subordinates!"

"Uh..."

The master and servant were bickering as they mounted their horses and headed towards the city gate.

For half a month since Shengjia left the capital, Yang Shu has been tripped up by King An and unable to leave. Today, while King An was going to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he secretly went to the palace.

Having not seen each other for half a month, he had many things to tell Mingwei.

The two ran not far away when Ah Xuan suddenly saw something: "Your Highness, look over there, is that Mr. Jiang?"
