Because that face was discovered, he had to kill the person who exposed him, and then change his face and continue his life. Mr. Qu didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only nod.
"I will definitely ask Liu Yifang to protect Zijiang well."
After leaving the palace, Lord Qu returned to the government office by himself. After asking, he learned that Liu Yifang had returned: "Ask Liu Yifang to see me."
When Liu Yifang was in the clinic, he was pestered by Zijiang. Finally, when he went to help Zijiang, who would have thought that Zijiang, a grown man, would cling to him and not let go.
He had no choice but to bring Zi Jiang back. It wasn't that he was that tolerant of Zi Jiang, but mainly because the doctor started shouting when he was about to pull Zi Jiang off his body.
"Sir, please be patient. He has just been detoxified from the poison and is weak. If you use a little force, he may die."
So he was threatened with death, by a man at that. Liu Yifang mourned for himself, but he couldn't really kill the guy, so he could only bring him back.
Now that he heard that the master was looking for him, he looked at Zi Jiang and said, "We have arrived at the government office. It is safe. Can you get off me? I want to see our master."
On this journey back, Liu Yifang felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. But this person couldn't be hit or scolded.
Before he started to scold, he saw Zi Jiang staring at him with tears in her eyes. This made Liu Yifang feel very aggrieved. He had never seen a man treat his husband like Zi Jiang.
Zi Jiang shook his head decisively: "No, take me with you, I promise I didn't say anything."
Seeing that Zi Jiang refused to let go, Liu Yifang could only angrily take Zi Jiang to see Lord Qu: "Lord Qu."
Lord Qu looked at Liu Yifang and the man in front of him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is this Zi Jiang?"
Only then did Zi Jiang let go of Liu Yifang and bowed: "I, Zi Jiang, pay my respects to Lord Qu."
Lord Qu waved his hand and looked at Liu Yifang: "Yifang, there is new news from the emperor. The person in the portrait is a fake face... So during this period of time, you have to protect Zijiang well."
Zi Jiang smiled and said, "Sir, my portrait is not just a face, but the whole body outline. If I see that person again, I will definitely be able to recognize him."
Looking at the person in front of him, he was panting when he spoke. It would be a joke to let such a person arrest people. "Then I'll trouble you. Yifang, you go down first."
These two people were a bit unpleasant to the eyes, because after paying his respects, Zi Jiang began to touch Liu Yifang. Liu Yifang was tall and strong, while Zi Jiang was thin, so he didn't take up much space when he touched Liu Yifang.
If it weren't for the fact that there were two men, Lord Qu might have thought that this scene was quite pleasing to the eye. Liu Yifang was somewhat helpless. It seemed that he couldn't get rid of Zi Jiang for the time being.
"Okay, just follow me for the next two days. I still have to investigate a case. Just don't be scared when you see me."
Having said that, he didn't insist on pushing Zi Jiang off him, and went out with Zi Jiang and other yamen runners.
At the gate of the capital, several horses stopped at the door. Looking at the huge plaque of the capital, Jiang Hu's mouth curled up slightly. He was back.
A beautiful figure beside him looked at Jiang Hu and said, "Jiang Hu, this is the capital city? It looks very prosperous. This is my first time here!"
There was a hint of excitement in the sound of the bell. She had been running around outside before, but she had never come to Kyoto. Jiang Hu just smiled and said nothing.
He was even more excited than Lingling, because this time he could see the person he wanted to see the most. He rode his horse into the city and headed quickly towards Prime Minister Gu's residence.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he was recognized by the servant guarding the door: "Master Jiang Hu is back, go in and inform the lady."
Xiaoman got the news quickly and came out to greet them holding Xiao Yuanbao. When Jiang Hu saw Xiaoman, he knelt down and said, "Greetings, Master."
Xiaoman smiled and looked at Jiang Hu: "Hurry up, why are you doing such a big ceremony? Doesn't your knee hurt?"
Jiang Hu stood up, feeling a little embarrassed. Lingdang and others on the other side also knelt down directly: "Greetings, County Lady."
Xiaoman just nodded and looked at Lingling: "Lingling is here too, hurry up and get up. We are all so familiar with each other, and we are not strangers anymore. Get up, I will ask someone to prepare a room for you. You must be tired after rushing back."
Xiaoman asked someone to take Lingdang and the others down to rest. Jiang Hu was still standing there. Xiaoman looked at Jiang Hu and asked, "Has anything big happened in the martial arts world recently?"
Ever since Xiaoman gave birth to a baby, she has been staying at home to take care of the baby. Although she knows everything about the world, she doesn't have to worry about it because Jiang Hu is there.
Jiang Hu shook his head: "Nothing serious happened."
Xiaoman looked at Jiang Hu in surprise and said, "Since nothing serious has happened, you can go down and rest first. Or do you have something you want to tell me?"
Jiang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that the King and the Princess are back. Can I go visit them?"
Xiaoman's eyes widened: "You want to go find Beibei, right? I'm afraid Beibei is busy these days. She needs to learn something from her mother!"
Seeing Jiang Hu's disappointed look, Xiao Man felt a strange feeling in her heart, but she still said, "But if you have that intention, I will take you there tonight and have dinner with them."
Because Qian Jiujiu wanted to teach Nannanbeibei how to identify and ask about medicines, the two of them had already left the palace and returned to the palace.
After Xiaoman had the news delivered to the palace, she waited for Gu Xiangning to return from the palace and took Jiang Hu with her to the Bingjian Palace.
Qian Jiujiu received Xiaoman's news, but before she could say anything, Beibei seemed unusually excited: "Is Brother Jiang Hu back? Are you coming to play with me?"
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other. This girl seemed to be very interested in Jiang Hu. They couldn't help but say in surprise: "Beibei, you seem to be different towards this Jiang Hu."
Beibei blinked: "He is also my brother. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Can't we be happy?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed when she heard this. Her brother was fine. "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."
In the evening, Xiaoman's family brought Jiang Hu over for dinner, but because it was evening, they only met once before leaving.
Beibei wanted to talk to Jiang Hu, but there was no chance, so they agreed to wait until Jiang Hu's business was done before coming to play with Beibei. Beibei thought that if he brought Prince Xili with him, maybe Jiang Hu would want to meet him!
In addition to Xiya who was still in the palace, Xili also returned to the post station. After Xita came to Dazhou, she fell in love with Dazhou completely.
She was still thinking in her heart how she could become Wan Houyu's wife, but she didn't know that at this moment, at the gate of the capital, a carriage entered the city and went straight to Wan Houyu.
Wan Houyu had just sent Xita back home. When he returned to the mansion, he saw a carriage parked in front of the Wan family's door. Yu Ziying got off the carriage and looked at Wan Houyu. Her eyes lit up instantly: "Yu, you are finally back."
Seeing Yu Ziying running towards him, Wan Houyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He hadn't seen Yu Ziying for more than three years.
Since Yu Ziying followed Wan Houyu back to the Wan family last time, Wan Houyu gave her a status, but he didn't take her with him when he sailed. Because he was afraid that she would suffer, he stretched out his hand and hugged Yu Ziying in his arms: "Madam is here, let's talk inside."
Holding Yu Ziying, he walked into the mansion. The servants in the Wan Mansion were shocked when they saw the two of them, but then they smiled and walked away.
The lady had been separated from her husband for such a long time, so she naturally missed him very much. Yu Ziying looked at Wan Houyu and said, "Husband, you didn't tell me when you came back. If it wasn't for my elder brother telling me that you were given an official position, I wouldn't have known. My elder brother even sent me here specially to reunite with you!"
Wan Houyu looked at Yu Ziying and said, "Glad that you are here. I will take you with me next time I go out to sea."
Yu Ziying was a little surprised. Before, when Wan Houyu went out to sea, she wanted to go, but Wan Houyu didn't agree. This time, he actually took the initiative to take her with him. But Yu Ziying was still happy: "Okay, next time, wherever my husband goes, I will accompany you."
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally missed each other very much. Wan Houyu thought about staying at home with his wife for a day the next day and taking her around the capital.
It’s a pity that imagination is beautiful. Who would have thought that Xita would arrive at the door of the Wan family early the next morning. After all, she had been in Kyoto for several days, so she knew where Wan Houyu lived.
This is a princess from another country, and she is also the one that my master has been entertaining recently. The guards naturally dare not stop her. They just invite her in and then go to call Wan Houyu.
Wan Houyu brought Yu Ziying out and happened to see Xita. Xita looked at Wan Houyu and Yu Ziying with some curiosity. It was the first time for her to see Wan Houyu so intimate with a woman.
"Wan, who is she?"
Wan Houyu smiled and looked at Xita: "Xita, this is my wife, or what you call Madam over there."
Sita's eyes widened: "You are married?"
Wan Houyu nodded: "Yes, this is my wife."
Hearing Wan Houyu's crisp nod, Xita turned around and ran outside. Yu Ziying looked at Wan Houyu with some surprise: "Husband, what's wrong with her? Why is she so angry when she heard that you got married?"
Wan Houyu sighed in his heart. He naturally knew that Xita had feelings for him, but he already had Yu Ziying, so he never responded and even avoided her.
"It's okay. I'll go take her back first. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble."
Yu Ziying did not make a fuss but nodded obediently. Looking at Wan Houyu chasing after him, she seemed to suddenly understand why her elder brother sent her here.
