Su Yingjian felt that he must be seeing things.

He just saw a man who looked like Gu Dashi in the crowd. He was so shocked that he immediately jumped out of the car to grab him, but when he took a closer look, he realized it was not him.

This man had a regular face, soft eyebrows, and no scars. He was not as strong as Gu Dashi, just an ordinary person.

Su Yingjian said repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry..."

He couldn't help but look at him again and again. This person was not very similar to Gu Dashi. They only looked somewhat similar at the first glance. The longer he stared at him, the more unfamiliar he seemed.

Perhaps he was overwhelmed by guilt, Su Yingjian thought.

On Gu Yue's side, the expression on his face had become a little stiff.

"...It's okay." He held back for a long time before he immediately revealed his identity. It was not surprising that Su Yingjian recognized him. Later, Gu Dashi looked more and more like him, so it was natural that he looked familiar.

Turning his gaze to behind Su Yingjian, Luo Dao had already caught up.

This person's gaze stayed on Gu Yue for a longer time, with a hint of doubt between his brows, and finally turned to Su Yingjian.

Su Yingjian forced a smile and said, "I am really rude. You look similar to a friend of mine. I made a mistake."

"Nothing, I was just startled." Gu Yue smiled, "I was staring at your team for too long just now, and I thought something was wrong. This young man is leading a group of people, it doesn't look like they are transporting goods."

Su Yingjian had no intention of chatting with him, but he still replied politely, "Sir, you have good eyesight. We are going to move back to our hometown."

"Luoyang is so good, why do you suddenly want to move away?" Gu Yue's heart tightened and he asked casually.

"I'm just running around to make a living." Su Yingjian smiled and of course would not tell the truth.

He then said, "We have to hurry on. I'll leave you now."

"Please come in, sir." That was all Gu Yue could say.

He didn't notice that Chen Song beside him had his back to Su Yingjian and his servant. When he turned around, Chen Song happened to come out from behind Xiaobai and asked, "Who are those people?"

"I don't know him." This was the only answer Gu Yue could give.

How should he confess his identity to Su Yingjian?

The Su family moved out of Luoyang for no apparent reason, which was a bad sign. Gu Yue could not confirm what had happened in Luoyang City, and there was also Chen Song, who did not know the details, besides. If Su Yingjian and his group had escaped secretly, he might have ruined their plan.

We'll talk about it later. If everything goes well, they won't have to worry about meeting each other.

Chen Song looked over the saddle and glanced at the Su family's convoy that was gradually moving away. Then he lowered the brim of his bamboo hat and said, "Let's go."

……

Su Yingjian returned to the carriage in a daze, still a little dazed.

He must have been devastated.

Luo Dao grabbed his ankle, looked at it, pinched it twice, and then let it go. Seeing that Su Yingjian was still distracted, he said, "That man looked familiar."

Su Yingjian turned around suddenly: "You think so too?!"

"Yeah." Luo Dao said.

However, his method of judgment was different from Su Yingjian's. As martial artists, they were very sensitive to some small movements. He felt familiar with the man's gestures, but he couldn't remember who he was.

Su Yingjian thought for a while, then suddenly shouted, "Stop the car! Turn around immediately!"

"What?" Luodao grabbed his wrist.

Su Yingjian said anxiously: "We didn't say we moved from Luoyang! This road not only leads to Luoyang, but also has dozens of forks. How can he be sure that we came from Luoyang? He must know me!"

Luo Dao didn't let go: "So you want to go find him, and then what?"

Su Yingjian was stunned for a moment.

"Since he didn't recognize you, it means he has other considerations." Luo Dao said: "If now is a good time to reveal his identity, he would have confessed to you just now."

"But..." Su Yingjian had a strange premonition in his heart, and he instinctively didn't want to give up.

"Since the other party has not made any unusual moves, we'd better follow his instructions and continue to move forward." Luo Dao said. He gave a signal to the coachman who had already stopped, and the carriage moved and continued to move forward.

Luo Dao slowly let go of his hand.

Su Yingjian looked back and saw that Gu Yue's figure was gradually disappearing on the floating yellow soil road.

……

The news of the emperor's serious illness has been circulating for several months. Now, it is heard that he has taken the magic medicine offered by Xidi and is in great health. The gloomy atmosphere shrouding the capital seems to have dissipated a lot.

The princess sent by Xidi was taken to Chuxiu Palace, but it was not specified whether she would enter the emperor's harem or the prince's eastern palace. But Sabu felt a little dissatisfied about this, but after all, they were people who came to the court to pay tribute, so it was not easy to criticize them.

The emperor had rested for a night and was in good spirits. No matter what Qin Zhaoyue was thinking, he handed over the power in his hands honestly. During this period, the party members promoted by the prince also quietly retreated.

The emperor did not take any action and pretended he saw nothing. He first issued two edicts:

First, more than ten corrupt officials who had caused trouble during the emperor's recuperation were found in the name of the crown prince, and all of them were placed under house arrest or thrown into the prison to await trial. Nearly half of these people were supporters of the Su family.

The second article was to summon children of the Su family of appropriate age to the palace for the Sixth Prince to choose as study companions; the eldest grandsons of the Su family, Su Yingxu and Su Yingyang, would enter the Ministry of Rites to compile the Northern Qin Code.

If we ignore the nepotism between the officials under investigation and the Su family, the second decree is meant to promote the Su family. Compiling classics and being a companion to the prince are great favors for officials.

No matter how Su Muying guessed the emperor's intentions, these descendants of the Su family had been sent into the palace in various ways.

However, all of this was drowned out by the news of the prince's upcoming wedding.

The last time the prince of Northern Qin got married was when the current emperor was the prince. At that time, red silk lanterns were hung in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, and the wedding procession threw copper coins and red paper like rain along the way. It was really lively and luxurious. Therefore, the people of Luoyang City have been looking forward to the wedding of the new generation of prince for a long time.

……

Gu Yue and Chen Song parted ways in front of the Luoyang city gate.

"Thank you for your care along the way, Master Fox Fairy. I just can't repay you. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you a hundredfold." Chen Song clasped his fists towards him.

"You're welcome. Saving a life has helped me gain a lot of cultivation." Gu Yue still maintained his mysterious vixen identity and waved his hand casually: "No need to repay. I just bought a few doses of medicine and let you ride a horse for two days. It's nothing."

Chen Song seemed eager to enter the city, and kept looking towards the city gate. Hearing this, he wanted to say something to thank him, but was interrupted by Gu Yue.

"Let's go into the city! I still need to prepare outside." Gu Yue said with a smile, "No need to say polite words."
