04 Taiwei's Mansion
The old man was sweating and panting. After coming up, he looked at it, then rushed into our private room and clasped his fists at us, "Master Wu Zheng! Miss Lin Xia! No...no... something happened to the Sun family..."
Master Wu Zheng?
Miss Lin Xia?
Sun Family?
As expected, he quickly entered the plot and started directly.
I looked at the old man without hesitation.
"What happened?"
"We ladies are so enchanted. We are wearing red clothes and sing opera in the boudoir. Don't be so scary," the old man said anxiously, "Our master said, please ask the young master and Miss Lin to go back and save our ladies!"
I looked at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia was also looking at me, what should I do if I mean?
I thought about it and coughed, "This is the matter..."
"Young Master!" The old man knelt down with a thud and begged me pitifully, "What happened before was that our master was wrong. He shouldn't have listened to the slander and drove you and Miss Lin out. The master said that as long as you and Miss Lin were willing to go back, it would be fine! Master, Miss Lin, please!"
The old man burst into tears, "The Chu Palace will come to welcome the bride tomorrow. How can the lady get married like this? Young Master, Miss Lin, please be kind to you..."
He kept kowtowing us.
Chu King's Mansion?
Welcoming a bride?
The background of this story is a bit vague, but it doesn't matter, because it's just a play.
I winked at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia nodded.
"Okay," I stood up and looked at the old man, "Then let's go."
Lin Xia also stood up.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Miss Lin!" The old man was very excited.
He stood up and let out, "Young Master, Miss Lin, please!"
We didn't say anything, and turned around and walked out of the private room.
After leaving Taibai Building, the old man invited us to a carriage. He drove for us personally and left the restaurant under the escort of five knights in front and behind.
This is my first time riding an ancient carriage. The furnishings inside are very exquisite and comfortable to sit, not as bumpy as I imagined.
When I lifted the curtain and looked out from the window, the layout outside was different again.
I observed for a while, put down the curtain, turned around and instructed Lin Xia, "I will arrive at Sun's house later, act according to the opportunity. No matter what I see or hear, don't be surprised. The clouds and winds are calm and the wind is as calm as a mountain."
"Yes," she nodded.
I turned around, lifted the curtain, and continued to observe outside.
The carriage carried us all the way east, walked out of the town, passed through a dense forest, and walked for about dozens of miles to a city.
It was already late at night and the city gates were already closed.
When the soldiers on the city saw the carriage coming, they asked loudly, "Who is it?"
A knight in front rode his horse forward, ran to the city wall, and said loudly, "The Sun family of the Taiwei Mansion!"
Taiwei's Mansion?
I looked at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia was listening and looked at me.
When the soldier heard that it was from the Sun family of the Taiwei Mansion, he quickly said, "Sir, please wait and wait for me to report to the official at the sergeant!"
"Have you been done!" said the Knight.
The soldier turned around and reported.
I lifted the curtain and looked up at the city tower.
Soon, a guardian in armor came to the city tower and asked loudly, "Is it from the Sun Taiwei family?"
The knight shouted, "Old Hou, I am I Tieying!"
When the guards heard his voice, they immediately laughed, "Who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be Brother Tieying!"
He turned around and ordered the soldiers, "Open the door!"
"Yes!" The soldiers turned and went downstairs.
After a while, the tall city gate slowly opened.
Tieying rushed to the guards on the city tower and clasped his fists, "Old man, thank you!"
The old man also clasped his fists and said, "Please!"
Iron Eagle turned around and waved, "Enter the city!"
The carriage continued to move forward, and under the protection of the Iron Eagle and the Knights, they passed through the city gate and entered the city.
At this time, Tieying slowed down and I could see clearly what he looked like.
He is tall, has a cold face, dark skin, a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a small beard, and sharp eyes, like an iron eagle.
When I looked at him, he also looked at me.
His eyes met, and he nodded slightly at me.
I nodded, too.
He squeezed his legs and went to the front.
I put down the curtain and looked at Lin Xia, "It seems that the Sun family in the Taiwei Mansion has a very different background..."
"It's just illusions," Lin Xia said.
I smiled and stopped looking at her.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after walking for a long time, he came to the front of a tall courtyard.
The old man pulled the reins and the carriage stopped.
He turned around and got out of the car, took the small stool and put it on the ground, and said respectfully, "Mr. Wu Zheng, Miss Lin, we are here."
I got out of the car first, then helped Lin Xia out of the carriage.
"Young Master, Miss Lin, please!" the old man said respectfully.
We looked up at the tall red door and walked in without being humble or arrogant.
The old man led us through the front hall, the middle hall, and to the house in the backyard.
The Grand Marshal Sun and his family are already waiting here.
Seeing that we were coming, they hurried over.
"Master Wu Zheng, Miss Lin!" Grand Marshal Sun clasped his fists at us, "I shouldn't have believed the slander of that old Taoist. Please forgive me for being disrespectful!"
He said that he was about to kneel down.
I stopped him, "Taiwei, no."
He cried in tears.
This Taiwei Sun is over fifties, very thin and looks particularly haggard.
"Miss Lin's hexagram, I admit it, I admit it!" He said excitedly, "Yes, the King of Shu rebelled the year before yesterday, and the court ordered me to command the suppression of rebellion. In that battle, some of my subordinates killed good people and committed serious crimes. I thought that they had made contributions to suppress rebellion and were all old subordinates who had followed me for many years, so I hid it for them. Miss Lin did not wrongly accuse me, I was indeed guilty..."
Lin Xia was a little confused and looked at me subconsciously.
I didn't say anything.
Grandmaster Sun clasped his fists at us and continued, "As Miss Lin said, that incident can't be hidden from now on. The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and strictly deal with all the sheltering people. Sun knew that his crime was unforgivable, but my family was indeed innocent. Now, only His Highness, the only one who could speak to me in front of the emperor was His Highness of Chu. He had a engagement with his little daughter. Now the King of Chu has taken the emperor's order and is about to lead troops to fight. If the little girl can successfully marry into the King of Chu's palace, then my Sun family can escape this disaster, but now..."
He sighed helplessly and looked at us earnestly, "Master Wu Zheng, Miss Lin, please save the little girl..."
