Although Xia Liuchuan was a little worried, he had no choice but to leave Xia Dongyue's office.
"Brother, you seem to have something on your mind. Is it because you didn't get the guardian's cocoon?" Xia Xianyue asked with concern when she saw Xia Liuchuan frowning.
"Zhou Wen is on his way to the imperial capital, and the old man has ordered the people in the East Court to bring Zhou Wen back before he enters the imperial capital." Xia Liuchuan said.
"Why did the old man bring Zhou Wen back?" Xia Xianyue didn't know about it, and after hearing this, her expression changed slightly.
Xia Liuchuan hurriedly stopped Xia Xianyue from continuing, looked around, and saw that no one else was passing by, then said in a low voice: "You just know about this, don't mention it again, and don't tell anyone. Also, Don't ask too much about the old man, do you understand?"
"Why?" Xia Xianyue still didn't quite understand.
In fact, Xia Xianyue's impression of the old man is very vague. Although the old man is the real leader of the Xia family, Xia Xianyue has seen the old man only a handful of times when Xia's parents are so old.
In her impression, the old man was a serious old man in a white robe, who only occasionally appeared among some important priests of the Xia family, and he usually lived in the east courtyard.
The East Courtyard is also a forbidden area in the Xia family. Without the old man's call, even Xia Dongyue cannot enter or leave the East Courtyard at will.
Only those who are responsible for taking care of the old man's daily life can enter the east courtyard.
Most of those responsible for taking care of the old man's daily life are not members of the Xia family, but they are all loyal to the old man, and they will not question or hesitate about the old man's orders.
When Xia Xianyue was young, she once met an elder of the Xia family. She didn't know what she did wrong, but was forcibly arrested by the people from the East Court. After entering the East Court, she never came out again.
"Don't ask why, trust me, I won't hurt you." Xia Liuchuan and Xia Xianyue said while looking at each other.
"I understand." Xia Xianyue nodded slightly.
"Go and rest. Since this matter has been handed over to the East Hospital, we don't need to take care of it anymore." Xia Liuchuan seemed to have something on his mind, and returned to his residence after speaking.
But before the door was opened, someone sent word that the old man wanted to see him.
Xia Liuchuan was shocked, he already guessed why the old man wanted to find him.
Xia Liuchuan took a deep breath and followed the butler towards the east courtyard.
If it wasn't necessary, Xia Liuchuan would rather not enter the East Hospital for the rest of his life.
When he was young, he actually liked to play in the East Courtyard very much, and the old man doted on him very much. Other members of the Xia family were not allowed to enter the East Courtyard at will, but he was granted permission by the old man to come in and out freely.
At that time, Xia Liuchuan could be said to want the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain. Even if he pulled out the flowers and plants that the old man had planted by himself, the old man would just laugh and never punish him.
But after the age of fifteen, Xia Liuchuan seldom went to the East Hospital anymore. Although his privileges were still there, he was unwilling to go again.
Stepping into the familiar garden, looking at the familiar decorations, flowers and plants, Xia Liuchuan's mood was indescribably complicated.
"Xiaochuan, Dongyue has already told me everything about you, don't worry, I will let Zhou Wen enter the imperial capital alive, and let you win the bet and get the chance to contract with the guardian." An old man in a white robe sat in the stone pavilion , feeding the carp in the pond next to the stone pavilion.
"I've troubled you." Xia Liuchuan said with a slight bow.
He is a person who is not afraid of anything, and dares to do anything, but he dare not act recklessly in front of this old man.
The old man continued while feeding the fish: "It doesn't take much thought, just take it easy. After you contract the guardian, I want you to bring Zhou Wen back to me with your own hands. Can you do it?"
"Old man, everyone around you is better than me, why do you have to let me go?" Xia Liuchuan said.
"If you don't want to, then let Xianyue go." The old man said lightly.
Xia Liuchuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded: "I see, I will go and bring Zhou Wen back."
"Remember, you are the future master of the Xia family. No matter how strong the people below are, they will always be nothing more than servants." The old man said.
"Ruchuan understands." Xia Liuchuan bowed his head and said.
Zhou Wen rushed all the way to the imperial capital, and he didn't encounter any strange things. Except that the wood was too heavy, which made him travel very hard, there was no trouble at all.
When Zhou Wen saw the boundary marker with the word "Emperor Capital" from a distance, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
"Old Yang, where will this log be placed after arriving in the imperial capital?" Zhou Wen asked the antelope beside him.
The antelope wrote on the ground with its hoof: "Stand on the top of the Forbidden City."
Zhou Wen saw the words written by the antelope clearly, and his eyes widened.
The Forbidden City in the imperial capital is now a very special dimensional domain, and it is also one of the most valued dimensional domains by the Xia family. Its importance is not lower than that of the ancient sword tomb.
As far as Zhou Wen knew, since the dimensional storm, the Xia family had sealed off the dimensional domain of the Forbidden City, preventing anyone from approaching it.
If he wanted to go in, it shouldn't be difficult to get in with the ability of the invisibility cloak.
But if you want to carry such a big guy into the Forbidden City, it is impossible to be invisible, and you must conflict with the Xia family.
"Lao Yang, you really didn't mean to trick me?" Zhou Wen seriously suspected that it was because he forcibly pulled Lao Yang out to go on the road with him, so Lao Yang deliberately tricked him.
The antelope ignored him and stepped across the boundary marker of the imperial capital.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to follow, and now he had no other choice.
Zhou Wen rarely went out, and had never seen a city as big as the imperial capital. Compared with it, Luoyang seemed a bit petty in terms of size and number of people.
Because there were too many people, Zhou Wen didn't ride the Dawei King Kong Bull, and walked forward with the wood on his shoulders.
Although this is the imperial capital, they all looked sideways when they saw Zhou Wen walking down the street carrying such a large log.
Zhou Wen originally planned to contact Wang Lu after arriving in the imperial capital. But now that he was carrying a big log, it was not easy to invite her to dinner, so Zhou Wen simply did not contact her for now, and it would not be too late to contact her after the matter of the log was resolved.
I found a hotel to live in, the room price was quite expensive, but Zhou Wen paid the money readily, and booked a room for a week.
It is relatively close to the Forbidden City. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, you can see the Forbidden City in the distance. This is why Zhou Wen chose to live here.
"How can I get this piece of wood in?" Zhou Wen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the ancient Forbidden City in the distance, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
