Being chased by the men in black took a lot of time, and by the time the large group of people arrived at the inn, it was already dusk.

After settling down, Yi Cheng arranged for the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for Huo Yunchue and his party.

Shortly afterwards, Gu Liaohe and Wei Feng led the Jinyi Army to the inn.

Wei Feng returned to Huo Yunjue. During the fierce battle with the man in black, they met Ning Zijun who had returned to Kyoto to report on his duties.

When he learned that Ning Ziqing was in danger, Ning Zijun led his troops to catch up in time.

Huo Yunchue had already heard Ning Zijun's report on the way.

After not returning for many years, he now received military honors, and the court allowed him to return to Kyoto to receive the reward.

And he has always been thinking about his little sister Ning Ziqing.

He had one more wish to fulfill when he came back this time, which was to watch Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi get married with his own eyes.

When he mentioned this, a happy smile filled his face.

He told Huo Yunchue that when he left the Hou Mansion, Ning Ziqing was still young.

I also learned about Ning Ziqing's harsh treatment and bullying by the Song family since she was a child.

Because of this incident, he has always felt guilty, so when he came back this time, he wanted to seek justice for Ning Ziqing, and then marry Ning Ziqing in a glorious manner to comfort his mother who was suffering from grief.

During this period, Huo Yunchue wanted to tell Ning Zijun several times about what happened between him and Ning Ziqing.

But after thinking about it again and again, he decided to slowly explain all this to Ning Zijun.

At this time, the banquet was ready, and Yi Cheng came out respectfully to invite Huo Yunchue and others to the table.

Huo Yunchue took the main seat, and when he motioned for Ning Ziqing to sit next to him.

Ning Zijun took the lead and pulled Ning Ziqing over, asking her to sit next to Su Yan. He sat between the two of them, blocking them.

Huo Yunchue was a little unhappy. He frowned slightly and kept a straight face, but he didn't want to get angry.

Opposite me, Yaoyao pursed her lips and kept having fun.

Huo Yunchue glared at him fiercely before calming down his expression.

During the dinner, Yi Cheng toasted to Huo Yunchue happily.

Huo Yunchue took a sip of wine with a cold face and said nothing. When he put down the glass, his movements were a little heavy, which frightened Yi Cheng to the point where he didn't dare to speak out.

I was afraid that I had failed to serve the prince well.

Seeing that Huo Yun didn't want to pay attention to him, Yi Cheng could only retreat angrily, and then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.

Ning Ziqing and others knew that Huo Yunchue was angry, so they didn't dare to speak out, and they all ate quietly with their heads down.

Only Ning Zijun kept picking up vegetables for Ning Ziqing and chatting and laughing with Su Yanqi.

He also urged Su Yanqi to go to the Marquis Mansion to find Ning Marquis to confirm the wedding date for him and Ning Ziqing after returning to Kyoto.

When Ning Zijun said these words, he didn't notice that Huo Yunchue's face was getting darker and darker, and his resentful eyes almost burst out of fire.

When Ning Ziqing saw this, he was afraid of making Huo Yunchue angry.

He immediately stopped Ning Zijun: "Brother, don't talk about my marriage in front of so many people, as if I hate getting married, which makes people laugh. Stop talking!"

Ning Zijun frowned: "You have been a hairpin for more than a year, aren't you in a hurry? Don't keep Qilangjun waiting for too long. The most important thing for me when I come back this time is your marriage. Before I leave Kyoto, I must marry you go out!"

Ning Ziqing wanted to refute, but Ning Zijun continued: "It's normal for men to get married when they get married, and who would make fun of you? We will also invite the Fourth Highness to come and drink with you and Qi Langjun. Wedding wine. Are you right, Your Highness?"

As soon as he said this, everyone at the table took a breath, stopped moving and stared at Huo Yunjue nervously.

Huo Yunchue glanced at Ning Zijun coldly, his eyes full of anger.

He gritted his teeth and smiled coolly: "So, His Highness is looking forward to this wedding wine!"

After saying that, he put down his chopsticks and angrily stood up and walked out of the banquet hall.

When passing by Wei Feng, the biting cold air emanating from his body made Wei Feng's heart beat with fear.

Yaoyao and Gu Liaohe looked tense and looked at Ning Ziqing in unison.

Ning Ziqing understood this and got up to chase Huo Yunchue out to appease him.

But he was grabbed by Ning Zijun.

"We haven't finished eating yet, sit down! Do you want me to teach you the rules of being a lady?"

Ning Zijun scolded sternly, forcing Ning Ziqing to sit back again, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her hands.

Yaoyao couldn't help but want to teach Ning Zijun a lesson.

Su Yanqi gave her a wink and told her to be quiet.

He looked at Ning Zijun and suggested:

"Zijun, let's not mention this matter for now. Let's discuss it after we return to Kyoto."

Ning Zijun nodded readily and said "ok".

Pick up the chopsticks and continue eating happily.

Seeing him like this, Yaoyao obviously said those words just now on purpose to make Huo Yunchue angry.

She snorted coldly, slammed her chopsticks on the table, stood up and left the table.

After she left, the atmosphere in the hall became awkward for a while.

Ning Ziqing looked outside with a worried look, feeling uneasy and anxious to find Huo Yunchue.

After finishing the food in her bowl, she put down her chopsticks and told Ning Zijun that she wanted to go for a walk to eat.

Ning Zijun raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing through her thoughts, he did not agree.

Ning Ziqing was so angry that she wanted to hit Ning Zijun with chopsticks to vent her anger.

Ask him to offend Huo Yunchue, but he has to deal with it himself. God knows how difficult it is to coax that overbearing master when he is angry.

Ning Zijun took the dish and tasted it carefully with disapproval. He asked Ning Ziqing to wait until he finished eating before going out with her to eat.

Ning Ziqing knew he did it on purpose and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

She argued with Ning Zijun for a while, but Ning Zijun still refused to let her out.

Ning Ziqing rushed back to the guest room in anger.

Su Yanqi went to persuade her, but Ning Zijun stopped him.

"Qi Langjun, Qingqing is going to marry you soon. This eldest lady's temper needs to be changed. Don't worry, I won't let her continue to mess around."

Ning Zijun stared at Su Yanqi with a determined expression.

Su Yanqi understood the underlying meaning of his words and had nothing to say.

They were just worried that Ning Ziqing and Huo Yunjue would have bad feelings because of Ning Zijun's instigation.

Ning Zijun looked away, drank a glass of wine happily, and ordered two soldiers to guard the door of Ning Ziqing's room.

If Ning Ziqing goes out without permission, she must report it to him immediately.

Huo Yunjue left the inn and stood alone under a tree not far away, sulking.

After waiting for a long time, Ning Ziqing didn't come out to look for him. He became even more angry and slapped the tree trunk with his palm.

At this moment, Wei Feng walked over cautiously and reported to him one by one what happened after he left.

After listening, Huo Yunchue understood that Ning Zijun was targeting him deliberately.

He sneered in his heart, secretly mocking Ning Zijun's methods. If he wanted to force him away, he would be looking down on himself.

Huo Yunjue calmly closed his sleeves and stood there for a long time before walking back to the inn.

Early the next morning, the group had a simple breakfast and set off immediately.

It was a hot summer day, and after traveling for most of the day, the sun had already risen above our heads, making the ground hot.

Huo Yunjue found a shade tree by the stream and told everyone to stop and take a rest.

He got off the carriage and walked towards Ning Ziqing with the food box in hand.

However, Ning Zijun rode ahead of him and blocked Ning Ziqing's carriage.

Huo Yunjue looked at Ning Zijun coldly and asked him:

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Ning Zijun got off his horse, saluted and replied: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, has a distinguished status. How can you let His Highness do this kind of thing personally? Let's leave it to the junior general."

He stretched out his hand to take the food box, but Huo Yun never gave it to him.

The two were in a stalemate, refusing to give in to each other.

Ning Zijun didn't dare to take the food box directly from his hand.

At this time, Su Yanqi in the carriage opened the curtain and came out to rescue: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending Miss Third Miss' food. Leave it to me!"

Huo Yunjue handed the food box to Su Yanqi, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly:

"Third Miss's things are all in His Highness's carriage. It's really inconvenient to carry them back and forth like this. Why don't we let Third Miss take a ride in His Highness's carriage, while I ride a horse."

Ning Zijun thanked her sincerely and refused with a smile: "How dare my little sister occupy the carriage of His Highness the Fourth Highness? This is easy to handle. I will have someone move my little sister's things over here."

With that said, he called two more subordinates to carry things to Huo Yunjue's carriage.

"you......!"

Huo Yunjue was so angry that his face turned black.

He gritted his teeth, glanced at Ning Zijun fiercely, and left angrily.

Ning Ziqing leaned out to talk to Huo Yunjue, but Ning Zijun yelled back.

"There are all soldiers and barbarians outside. What are you doing out there, a girl who has not yet left the government? Just stay in the carriage!"

Ning Ziqing was stunned, biting the corners of her lips, her eyes red with grievance, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.

Su Yanqi pulled her back, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and comforted her: "Don't cry, your brother is doing this for your own good. I will tell him everything when I return to Kyoto, and I will not let him force you to marry I."

Ning Ziqing sobbed: "I think he did it on purpose and was so cruel to me. After being away for so many years, he only bullied me when he came back. I never want to see him again!"

She angrily lay on the soft pillow and cried sadly.

I cried and regretted the last words I just said.

In his previous life, his brother died tragically on the battlefield in the north because of him.

Now that he was reborn, he saw his brother alive and well.

You should be happy. You have to watch your brother get married and have children, and live this life happily before you can feel at ease.

How could you not want to see him!

Thinking of this, Ning Ziqing stopped crying, lifted a corner of the car curtain, and caught a glimpse of Ning Zijun standing in front of the carriage regretfully and at a loss.

Not far away, Huo Yunchue heard Ning Ziqing's cries and wanted to rush over and punch Ning Zijun a few times.

Yaoyao shook her head with a sigh and advised him: "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, please forget about it. This uncle is too difficult to deal with."
