Walking on the streets of Hongdu Prefecture, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were in a hurry and fast pace.

Of course, the two of them were not exposed to their travels when they first arrived at Hongdu Mansion, so they could only escape in a panic before leaving. It was because the sunlight above their heads was too hot. They didn't feel anything when they were on the Tengwang Pavilion on the banks of the Gan River. But as soon as they left the banks of the Gan River, there was no tree in the city, and they were all on the bustling streets made of blue bricks and stone slabs. The fierce sun above their heads made them feel His infinite power in an instant.

The blue bricks and stone slabs under the feet of the two who had been roasted by the sun for a long time were constantly emitting endless heat from bottom to top. Coupled with the air that had been heated by the hot sun, the two of them seemed to be in a stove as hot as they were in a stove.

Cool summer has finally arrived.

...

"Waiter, come and have a bowl of iced sour plum juice."

Finally, the two saw the sign they had always dreamed of, and immediately took a few steps, and finally almost jumped into the store. After finally avoiding the sunshine outside and gaining a chance to breathe, they chose to sit in the shaded corner and shouted at the clerk.

"Come on."

The waiter obviously saw a lot of guests like Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, so just as Bai Shier ordered, the waiter's response sounded. However, after responding to the two, the waiter did not come forward with a little congratulation as before, but picked up the tea tray and walked towards the backyard.

After a while, the waiter took two white porcelain bowls on the tea tray and walked quickly from the backyard to the tables of Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, put down the tea tray, handed the two white porcelain bowls to the two of them, and said with a smile.

"Please use it, two guests."

"Gudonggudong!"

He picked up two bowls of sour plum juice, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan didn't bother to say a word to their friend, and at the same time he picked up the bowl. He drank the sour plum juice that had been in the deep well for a long time in one breath without any image.

After leaving the capital for a long time, Zhu Jinxuan, the royal princess who was originally decent, seemed to be somewhat deviated by Bai Shier.

"It's the first time that the two guest officials have arrived in Hongdu Mansion?"

The little brother holding the tray did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he asked the two of them with great interest.

However, on this hot afternoon, he had nothing to do except sleepy in the store. It would be better to have two guests like Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan than to chat with him, just like huddling there and dazed and drowsy.

"Oh, I wonder where the second brother saw that it was the first time I came to Hongdu Mansion?"

But the two who had just arrived in Hongdu Mansion today would naturally not push out the "Bai Xiaosheng" who came up with him on his own initiative. Bai Shier immediately asked with a curious look like a qualified supporting actor.

"You've always claimed to be smart."

However, before the waiter could speak, Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but complain.

"You don't look outside, except us, there are no people who are as stupid as they are."

“Hey~.”

Seeing the young couple in front of him quarrel, the second brother suddenly felt a little redundant for some reason, and as if he had just drank all the sour plum juice in the backyard well in one breath, his mouth was sore and his stomach was a little swollen, but he couldn't turn around and leave directly, so he could only let out two embarrassing laughs.

"Ahem."

Bai Shier, who was criticized, immediately coughed rapidly.

He naturally knew the reason. He said this obviously just to continue chatting with the second brother, but he didn't expect Zhu Jinxuan to do this.

I don't know if the weather is too hot, so I feel irritated...

"Well, okay, little brother, please give us two more bowls of sour plum juice."

Hearing Bai Shier's rapid cough and seeing the embarrassing look on the second brother's face, Zhu Jinxuan realized something was wrong and had to cover it up by clearing her throat, then took out her purse from her arms, discharged more than a dozen large sums of money, and spoke to the waiter again.

"Please wait, please."

The awkward look on the little brother's face instantly turned into a smile. He quickly put the empty white porcelain bowl in front of them on the tea tray and headed towards the backyard.

"Ha ha."

Seeing the waiter's figure disappearing in the backyard, Bai Shier finally couldn't help it and smiled in a suppressed voice, which caused Zhu Jinxuan to blush and raise her pink fist and hammer him twice.

...

While Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were having fun, Hu Xiaolin also rushed to Hongdu Prefecture City with the scorching sun above his head.

However, strangely, the big inner guards who had been following him before were nowhere to be seen at this moment.

"Huh, it's finally here."

Hu Xiaolin, who couldn't help but wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves again, looked at the city gate near him, and couldn't help but breathe a breath of turbid air.

However, he did not immediately hurriedly lead his horse into the city, but walked to the tea shop outside the city where people can stay and enjoy the cool air.

Anyway, the huge Hongdu Prefecture City was here and couldn't escape, so he decided to take a break and get rid of the heat.

"Shopkeeper, let's have a bowl of herbal tea."

"Here, come, please sit down."

The shopkeeper who was carrying a huge pottery teapot immediately responded loudly when he heard this and turned up a crude pottery bowl from the simple table.

"Customer, the shop is small and simple, with only a few tables. If you don't dislike it, squeeze it?"

However, after seeing that there was no empty table, the shopkeeper could only ask Hu Xiaolin apologetically with a teapot and a pottery bowl.

If Hu Xiaolin was just an ordinary pedestrian, he would not have asked such a question too much, but when he looked at the galloping horse that Hu Xiaolin was leading, he still added caution.

"It's okay."

Hu Xiaolin naturally didn't mind. After waved his hand to the shopkeeper casually, he took the horse to the tree next to him, and found a green shade for the same hot horse before turning back with satisfaction.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a basin of clean water to my baby horse. Don't worry, the money will not be missing."

"Where is, please be polite."

Although the shopkeeper was polite, the unstoppable smile on his face betrayed his heart.

"I've been disturbed."

When he arrived at the table where the shopkeeper put down his tea bowl, Hu Xiaolin held his fists at the guest opposite who was also evading the summer and hydrating.

"Where, Brother Hu is so kind."

But the guest opposite who looked like an old farmer almost couldn't help but throw the tea bowl in his hand as soon as he opened his mouth.

Fortunately, he immediately guessed the identity of the person opposite and calmed down.

"I didn't expect Brother Gu's footwork to be so fast."

The guest opposite is naturally Gu Daliang, who looks like an old farmer.

"Haha, after walking in the world for so many years, there is only such a small amount of ability left."

"Ha, Brother Gu is so polite. It is not something that can be achieved with a slight abilities when I can reach Hongdu Mansion before my horse that can travel 800 per day."

Just as Hu Xiaolin and Gu Daliang were still blowing water there, the shopkeeper of the tea shop walked towards Hu Xiaolin with a wooden basin, while asking in his mouth.

"Customer, do you see that this water is enough?"

"I'm sorry, the shopkeeper."

Hu Xiaolin, who understood what the shopkeeper meant, nodded and took out the purse from his arms. Then, half-tightened the shopkeeper, he stuffed the tea money and more than a dozen copper coins into the shopkeeper's hands.

"When will anyone else arrive?"

After the shopkeeper left with the money with satisfaction, Gu Daliang finally remembered the important matter and couldn't help asking about the situation of other big guards.

"They won't come."

But Hu Xiaolin's answer almost made Gu Daliang scream. Fortunately, Hu Xiaolin knew in his heart how much shock his answer would bring to Gu Daliang, so he warned him with his eyes in advance, which made Gu Daliang stop his mouth in time.

"What?!"

However, Gu Daliang still asked in a low voice.

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's a long story, and this place is not suitable. Let's talk about it after entering the city."

Hu Xiaolin's face did not change and shook his head in slightest.

...

When Bai Shier, Zhu Jinxuan, Hu Xiaolin and Gu Daliang arrived at Hongdu Prefecture one after another, in Yangzhou Prefecture, which is thousands of miles away from Hongdu Prefecture, Fang Ritu, who was recovered from the injury, finally took Hua Linlang back to the temporary stronghold of Tianyanmen Dongjitian.

As for Kang Jinlong, who rescued him, when the two of them separated, they went to the Nanjitian with Qinglong's handwritten letter to complete the Qinglong's mission.

But Fang Ritu knew in her heart that Kang Jinlong did this actually means to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Although the differences between him and Kang Jinlong did not allow the two to part ways, they also reached a tacit understanding and did not interfere with each other.

"I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns in this."

Seeing Qinglong, who was the only Fang Ritu who came back alone with Hua Linlang, was already quite confused, but after listening to Fang Ritu's narration, he spoke in surprise and sighed.

"But you may have been deceived by Mu Yixing."

But immediately, it was Fang Ritu's turn to be shocked by Qinglong.

"Does Lord Dongguan know Mu Yixing's identity?"

Fang Ritu obviously never thought of this, so many mixed thoughts arose in her heart, and the clearest of them was obviously what Rikang Jinlong said to him when he just rescued him.

"If I'm not mistaken, the wood you talk about is Yixing, and it should be Huang Long's confidant, whose name is: Tai Sui."

Qinglong said this, and he felt a little regretful in his words.

"I had already had some doubts when Kang Jinlong came back to report to me, but because I was anxious to bring Hua Linlang back, I didn't have time to think about it carefully. After so long, coupled with your current description, I was able to roughly confirm his identity."
