In the Qushui County Guanjia Inn, Shen Qing looked up at Mr. Gu who was sitting above him, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Mr. Gu, I wonder why you have called me here?"

Directly in front of him, Gu Juechen was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. Against the backdrop of his dark blue official robe, his face became more like a crown jewel and his grace was outstanding.

"My lord, what did I do wrong as a lower official? I made your lord unhappy." Knowing that Gu Juechen had a cruel temper, Shen Qing's face turned pale and his heart pounded.

For fear of making this person unhappy, I read a copy of it in front of the emperor when I returned to Beijing.

He finally got a job as a bridegroom. If something went wrong again, he would completely lose his Sacred Heart.

As if not hearing his words, Gu Juechen remained silent and looked straight at him.

After a long while, Gu Juechen said calmly, "My lord, you have been working hard lately."

He said it was hard work, but the eyes he looked at were still deep and cold.

"No, Mr. Gu, thank you for your hard work. Did you ask me to come here for something?" After being exposed for half an hour, Shen Qing did not complain at all, and his face was full of smiles.

"Nothing, the Hu people's wedding team will arrive in a few days. Why haven't you seen Mr. Fu in the past two days?" He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and raised his eyes to observe the expression on Shen Qing's face.

If I remember correctly, Fu Minghe has never been seen again since he came to the inn.

"Your Majesty asked Mr. Fu to go to Pingyang to supervise what he had told Mr. Fu before. He can come back before seeing off his wife." When Fu Minghe was mentioned, Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat and he took a breath.

Fu Ming promised the guy that he would find a way to reinstate his official position after returning to Beijing. He also said that Shen Xixi's death would not be long, and that she would let her son rescue Rou'er when the girl died.

"Oh, well, there are a lot of things going on these days, and I have to trouble Mr. Shen to take care of him. Mr. Fu is injured, so I can only trouble you." He stood up and walked to Shen Qing's side to help him up. Gu Juechen showed a smile and said, He waved his hand to his men to serve tea.

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. This is what a lower official should do." Shen Qing was flattered by Gu Juechen's words and carefully took the tea and put it aside.

"I'm young and don't understand many things. Mr. Shen is so upright and upright, and he disregards the interests of his family and country to destroy his relatives. Gu has always admired him very much." Gu Juechen said in a loud voice as he leaned over and sat down next to Shen Qing.

There was a sincere smile on his face, but it looked extremely ironic in Shen Qing's eyes.

"Master Gu... I'm joking." Shen Qing's voice weakened while avoiding Gu Juechen's gaze.

For a moment, the room fell into silence, and the atmosphere became weird.

"Master Shen is being humble. What Master Gu said is what I think." Just when Shen Qing felt embarrassed, a lazy voice came from behind the curtain.

"Princess...what's wrong with you?" Looking back at the fiery red figure that suddenly appeared, Shen Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Master Shen, don't be surprised. I just talked with Master Gu and felt very tired afterwards, so I took a nap in the inner room." He walked towards Shen Qing and looked at Shen Qing's stunned look. The thin lips are slightly curved.

"I didn't know the princess was here, so please forgive me!" Looking blankly at the princess's face close at hand, Shen Qing suddenly came back to his senses and bowed to Ji Wuhen.

"It's okay, Mr. Shen, without any courtesy, I'm calling you here today. Actually, we have important matters to discuss." He raised his right hand slightly to signal the other party to get up, and Ji Wuhen walked to the chair opposite and sat down.

"I wonder what the princess's orders are?" Shen Qing sat down again, looked at Gu Juechen beside him, and then at the beautiful princess opposite, Shen Qing said nervously.

"On the day of sending off the bride... I want you to go with me to the barbarian."

One sentence, like thunder, exploded in Shen Qing's mind.

"Princess...this..." Shen Qing hesitated to speak about the princess's words.

The Holy One sent him here because he was originally worried that the princess might have different intentions. He was responsible for supervising and promptly informing His Majesty what happened to the troops sending the bride.

"Your Excellency, you don't want to?" Seeing his hesitation, Ji Wuhen frowned slightly and the ends of his eyes were frivolous.

"This... I don't dare, but such an important matter as sending the princess off for marriage should not be Master Gu's..." Shen Qing glanced at Gu Juechen beside him and spoke carefully.

"He is like a piece of wood and is far less considerate than Lord Shen." He held his chin with one hand and looked at Shen Qing intently. Ji Wuhen blinked lightly with watery eyes and smiled lightly. "Or... Lord Shen is unwilling?" Father, you have said it... I am a meritorious official of Yu the Great, and all personnel will listen to me."

As the conversation changed, Ji Wuhen's voice gradually dropped, like the biting cold wind in winter.

"I don't dare, but I obey." Feeling a pressure coming towards him, Shen Qing stood up and knelt down.

"And Mr. Fu, I stayed in the Hou Mansion before returning to the palace. With Mr. Fu following me, I can feel at ease." Looking down at Shen Qing who was kneeling on the ground, Ji Wuhen's face was stained with emotion again. The smile seemed like it was just an illusion.

"Lord Shen, remember...tell the Marquis." Pulling the silk ribbon around his waist, Ji Wuhen stood up out of boredom, opened the door and walked out without looking at the expressions of the people on the ground.

Listening to the sound of retreating footsteps, Shen Qing slowly raised his head and wiped the sweat from his face, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean, princess?"

"Princess's thoughts...it's hard for me to guess." With a chuckle, Gu Juechen leaned over and helped the person up.

"After that, it will be hard work, sir." After patting Shen Qing on the shoulder, Gu Juechen called his men and sent Shen Qing back to his room to rest.

Back in the bedroom, Shen Qing hesitated for a long time, always feeling that something was wrong.

Thinking that Pingyang was very close to Qushui, Shen Qing wrote a secret letter directly to his subordinates and ordered the letter to be sent to Qushui and handed over to Fu Minghe.

After everything was done, Shen Qing relaxed his mood and sat at the table and drank a large pot of Longjing.

Nowadays, the situation is serious. The barbarians are invading. Dayu has repeatedly tolerated it, but Fu Minghe doesn't know what he is doing behind his back.

He needs to be careful in his words and actions. He has stepped on his brother's body until now. He must not make any mistakes...

Shen Xixi was also tossing and turning. She was very anxious when she learned that her second uncle was trapped.

After all calculations, Shen Xixi never thought that Xiao Mu would be the one to betray her second uncle in the end.

"Twelve, is Mr. Lou here today?" After thinking about it, Shen Xixi called Twelve in from outside the door.

"Today... I seem to be here. I have an appointment with the third master to talk about something. I guess the talk hasn't been finished yet." Thinking of the carriage he saw outside the Taoist temple in the morning, Twelve replied softly.

"Well, Twelve, dress up for me and let's go out."

After changing clothes and dressing up, Shen Xixi came outside Fu Youxing's temporary study, holding Twelve's arm.

"Sir, are you really so heartless?"

"Master Lou, this is all Fu has said about your beloved."

Through the window, Shen Xixi could hear quiet quarrels inside from time to time.

Suddenly, the closed door was pushed open with great force, Fu Youxing came out and hurried out.

Inside the door, Lou Ran stood upright, feeling helpless and angry.

Lou Ran sighed helplessly and walked out. When he closed the door behind him, he heard a soft call in his ear.

"Master Lou, what a coincidence."
