Chapter 136 Residence
The pain in the dream is still deep.
Be it a travel back in time or a dream.
Su Kang felt that God took pity on him and gave him a chance to make amends.
Dingbei King...
In the previous life, King Dingbei did not appear at all.
Su Kang was able to lead troops and win many victories, so he was certainly not a fool.
He soon realized it.
The appearance of King Dingbei may be the turning point for his comeback this time.
Therefore, after King Dingbei explained his purpose, he almost followed King Dingbei's lead.
And King Dingbei did not disappoint him. After he arrived, he quickly helped him resolve the crisis in Yumen City.
The key point is that the King of Dingbei can patrol the country on behalf of the emperor when he is away, and he can make decisions first and report later if there are any hesitations...
This is obviously a very good help.
Although the hidden nails in Yumen City have not been completely pulled out, he and his eldest son are now safe, which is a big turning point for him.
Now that he has saved his life, what he is most worried about is his wife and children who are far away in Luojing.
The King of Dingbei proposed to return to Beijing with him, which was obviously a good opportunity.
He guessed that his wife and children would not have a good life in the Changping Marquis Mansion, but he did not expect that the Changping Marquis Mansion would actually drive his wife and children away.
As long as I think about my wife's poor health and my two children, except for my daughter who knows some martial arts and can protect herself, my youngest son is too young...
Thinking of this, Su Kang's already staggering steps staggered even more.
Upon seeing this, the accompanying guards immediately stepped forward and helped him steady himself.
"General Su?"
Su Kang looked up and met a resolute and young face.
The young guard looked at him, chuckled, and whispered, "General, if you have any concerns when you return to the capital, you can go to the entrance of Qili Lane to find the crazy Taoist priest who specializes in stealing candy from children."
Before Su Kang could react, the young guard had already distanced himself from him again.
...
Almost at the same time.
The other side of Luojing.
"Little father-in-law."
Cong Hui was in a hurry and just happened to meet Gu Xiuyan who was about to go out.
Gu Xiuyan frowned slightly, and looked at Cong Hui with a bit more impatience.
"Why are you so reckless?"
"According to the report from the spies, we have found where Miss Su and her family are staying."
"where?"
Zong Hui didn't even have time to catch his breath. "A farmer in a village thirty miles outside the capital."
"Why did you go over there?"
Gu Xiuyan instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Cong Hui's statement.
Cong Hui also thought it was outrageous, but when he thought about the frequent mistakes his master had made in recent days because of the matters at the Su residence, he had no choice but to continue talking.
"I heard that because of the assassination attempt that day, the women and children in the Su residence were panicking and headed north. They met villagers who went up the mountain to hunt, and were rescued."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiuyan turned around and went back to the house.
Cong Hui hurriedly followed, "Young Master, are we not going into the palace?"
Didn’t we agree to wait for General Su outside the palace gate?
"There are so many people watching right now. If I were to be too ostentatious and get together with General Su, it would not be a good thing."
Gu Xiuyan's steps became faster and faster, and he soon left Cong Hui behind.
Obviously, he didn't want to follow Hui.
Cong Hui pursed his lips.
He was very confused - his people had gone to the outskirts of Beijing to look for Miss Su's family before, but no matter how they inquired, there was still no news.
He always felt that the timing of finding Miss Su's family was too coincidental...
But if Miss Su's family wanted to hide their whereabouts...
Conghui felt that it was unlikely.
After all, it was well known that Miss Su had admired his master.
Even if she is a little "tempered" now, Cong Hui thinks she just wants her master to pay more attention to her...
...
Directly south of the capital is Luoxi Mountain.
There is a beautifully restored villa in the mountains.
In the whole Luojing, apart from Emperor Mingqing, probably only the Dingbei Palace knew that the villa there was bestowed by the late emperor to the current queen, and the queen gave it to the Dingbei Prince.
At this time, in the villa.
When Ji Lanshuang saw those well-trained and tactful servants, he had already guessed in his heart whether this villa was the residence of some noble family in the capital.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao ordering the servants to do things as easily as she did at home, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"Xiaoxiao, this place is not like the Su residence. Although we can stay here temporarily, we should still follow the proper etiquette."
No matter what happens, if there is a crisis ahead, Ji Lan Shuang will feel more at ease.
But...
An assassination occurred at Su's residence, and they came here again.
Although the servants here were all polite, she always felt something was wrong, because the servants were too respectful to them...
As it happens, it was Mu Xiaoxiao who knocked on the door of this courtyard herself...
"It's okay, Lan Shuang, let's just live here. Since the master is so warm and welcoming to take us in, and the servants are all polite, it means they must know us. If we act coyly, it will make the master unhappy. If we fail to be friends and even implicate our young master and young lady, it will be a sin."
Looking at the "village woman" in front of her who was supposed to be an "enemy" but later couldn't leave, Ji Lanshuang always felt that this "Sister Rong" was not as simple as she said.
Due to their life-long friendship, Ji Lanshuang finally decided not to ask the question again.
She didn't know whether she was guilty or not, but from the calm attitude of "Sister Rong" in this villa, she could tell that "Sister Rong" was definitely not the ignorant village woman as she said.
Maybe she is in cahoots with the owner of this villa...
Just when Ji Lanshuang was struggling over whether or not to discuss with a few confidants to leave the villa overnight.
Shopkeeper Fu, who should have gone back to the pawnshop, came back panting.
"Miss...Miss, the general has returned to the court and has found a temporary residence. Miss sent someone to the pawnshop to deliver a letter, informing us that we can move in with the general."
Upon hearing this, Ji Lanshuang stood up in shock.
"What you said is true?"
My husband is back? Moreover, not only did he not live in the Marquis of Changping's mansion, but he also found a temporary residence for himself?
Shopkeeper Fu also nodded excitedly, "Absolutely true."
"Well... let's not waste time now, quickly pack up and thank the host..."
At this time, Ji Lanshuang's mood was very complicated.
She was worried about her daughter, who she only heard but never saw, and was looking forward to meeting her husband. She was also uneasy about living in this house temporarily and facing the inexplicable enthusiasm of the owner.
