Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

As soon as she finished speaking, Ali helped her up and said, "It's time to go home. Grandma, it's time to go to bed. Don't waste time listening to music. You won't be sleepy anymore!"

The old lady was surrounded by people. She nodded to us and left the dining hall. The old man was left drowsy again. His son helped him up, smiled apologetically at us, and walked away with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

We saw servants coming to clean up, so we wisely went back to our rooms. Tu Shanjing went to Yu Xin's room, and I had nothing to do, so I grabbed Xiao Hui and told him everything he missed yesterday. Xiao Hui felt regretful and anxious, and hated himself for not being able to catch up and become a hero in fighting bandits.

I wanted to laugh when I saw his look, so I plucked a green grape from the table and laughed, "Forget it, is it that easy for you to be a hero? That boss is so bad that even the young master can't get rid of him. If it were you, you would definitely be caught, and that would be another story!"

Xiao Hui said awkwardly: "Although my spiritual power is not strong enough, I can outsmart him...outsmart him!"

I laughed again and was about to say something to tease him, but the green grapes made me feel sour and I coughed twice.

Ruiyang knocked on the door just in time: "Madam, the master wants you to talk for a while."

I stood up and pulled at the wrinkles on my cotton clothes, and said, "I'm coming!" Then I turned around and said to Xiao Hui, "You can come with me, and then go to your brother Ruiyang's room and continue your sleep."

Xiao Hui nodded and yawned: "Girl, don't tell me, I am a little sleepy. I think the effect of the incense is still there."

After saying that, he stood up and followed me out of the room.

Ruiyang and he sent me to the door of Yu Xin's room and then went back to their room.

I knocked on the door carefully, and Tu Shanjing's calm voice came from inside: "Come in."

The door was unlocked, so I gently pushed it open and looked in. I saw Tu Shanjing and Yu Xin sitting at the table. On the table was a white porcelain plate with the same green grapes on it, and a set of tea sets next to it.

Seeing me show up, Tu Shanjing smiled and said, "You're here? Sit down."

I walked carefully to the table, sat down, and asked, "Sir, what do you want to call me for?"

Tu Shanjing took out the small bunch of grapes he had hidden during dinner from his sleeve and said, "Nothing, I just asked you to come and try some grapes. These are sweeter than the green ones, and I saw that you wanted to eat them but couldn't, so I saved them for you."

I was overjoyed, took the grapes, and thanked him repeatedly. I picked a grape and put it in my mouth, and the fragrant juice overflowed. Sweet, really sweet!

Yu Xin stroked his beard and looked at me with a smile. After a moment, he turned to Jing and said, "Sir, I just mentioned that a small team from Gao Xin is galloping towards the west. Our spies said that the leader is Xuan, who is a hostage in Gao Xin."

I gurgled in my throat, and a slippery grape rolled down. Hearing this familiar name, I couldn't help but feel a little familiar at first. But thinking about it carefully, he came here at this time, obviously not to escort the Tushan family's convoy.

I carefully picked another grape, put it into my mouth and stared at Tu Shanjing with wide eyes.

Tu Shanjing calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "Of course he is anxious. He transported saltpeter powder and black iron from his Gaoxin territory, sold them to his motherland's enemy Xiangliu to make weapons, and then used them back to attack the soldiers of his motherland Xuanyuan. If he had military power, I'm afraid he would want to send troops to wipe us out immediately."

Yu Xin smiled and said, "It's a pity he didn't."

Tu Shanjing also laughed: "So he can only go under the guise of patrolling, but in this way, the red tape of passing through the city will inevitably drag him down."

Yu Xinyi bowed and said, "Master, you have a good plan! If he doesn't use his own people and leads the public troops, I'm afraid he won't be able to arrive in time."

Tu Shanjing nodded and said, "Yes, but he is under surveillance by many forces. Using Xuanyuan's people in Gaoxin is probably a big taboo. If he is not absolutely sure, he will not dare to take the risk. However, the longer the night, the more trouble there is. We should set off tomorrow and get on the road as soon as possible."

OK, I understand. This cunning fox has calculated that the other person's status is awkward and he has many rules to follow. It is obvious that he is making people sit around the smoking pot anxiously, but dare not reach out to touch it.

Yu Xin agreed with a "yes", and then said: "Then I will write a letter later to tell Tushan's carriage team to move faster, so that we can cover each other and it will be safer."

Tu Shanjing put down his teacup and replied, "That's great."

I stood up holding the grape plate and said, "Then I will go back to pack my luggage and leave early tomorrow morning. Sir, Brother Yu, I will take my leave first."

I didn't sleep well yesterday, so today I just slept as soon as I touched the pillow and slept until dawn. In the morning, I washed my face, asked Xiaowei to comb my hair into a bun, grabbed a linen dress and put it on, and covered myself with a robe, and that was it.

We walked to the carriage in the front yard with our bags and met Ali who was coming back with water. When he saw us leaving, he put down his bucket and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Grandma said she bought some good wine and meat today and we'll have a great party tonight! But have we failed to entertain you well and neglected you?"

I shook my head repeatedly: "No, no, you guys entertained me very well, it's just——"

"But something has changed at home and we need to go back as soon as possible." Tu Shanjing's voice sounded from behind.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Ali asked kindly.

"Oh, it's just family matters. I appreciate your kindness. I didn't have time to say goodbye to the old lady, so please convey her message. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, we will drink and chat happily. See you later." I turned around and looked at Tu Shanjing, only to see that he had a profound expression on his face that "can only be understood, not expressed in words."

At this point, Ali was at his wit's end. He just blinked his peach blossom eyes and bowed to let us get in the car.

Yu Xin also bowed to Ali from a distance, then lowered the curtain, cracked the whip but it made an empty sound, and several horses neighed and raised their hooves, then ran out.

Everyone on the bus got up early, and most of them were sleepy and listless. Seeing this, I volunteered to tell a refreshing story. Xiaowei and Xiaohui immediately perked up and opened their eyes more.

"It is said that near Jinhua, there is a temple with magnificent palaces and towers, called 'Lanruo Temple'. One day, a scholar named Ning Caichen passed by Lanruo Temple——"

"I see. He was tempted by the beauty of the fox spirit again and got his energy sucked out or he was fooled, right?" Sen Ying interrupted with a yawn.

"No, no, this scholar is an honest, kind-hearted gentleman who remains calm in the face of temptation. It is precisely because of this that he was able to escape from the haunted Lanruo Temple and save his life." I shook my finger, imitating the old scholar's shaking head.

"Haunted?!" Senying looked at me in horror, and all trace of sleepiness disappeared.

"Yeah, how about it? Are you feeling more energetic now?" I looked at her with a wicked smile.
