Lu Xuan walked into the back courtyard. There were flowers and grass, green trees, and a lot of life everywhere he saw it. It made people feel more relaxed for no reason. I guess Su Ye had put a lot of effort into the layout of the back courtyard.
Su Ye himself came from Baicaotang. In terms of his familiarity with flowers and plants, Baicaotang can be called the best family in Zhongzhou. Lu Xuan nodded while admiring it. All kinds of flowers and plants were well matched. Some had a soothing effect, while others were used to keep the air fresh. At first glance, it was Su Ye who selected them personally.
The backyard of the City Lord's Mansion was very large, and Lu Xuan was not familiar with it, but it was not difficult for him to find Su Ye.
He closed his eyes slightly, and his huge consciousness spread silently. Soon, the situation in the backyard clearly appeared in his mind. There were two maids pruning branches and leaves in the garden, and... One of them was watering the water, and in the kitchen, there were two nuns making food. I didn't know if they were afternoon snacks prepared for Su Ye.
In Lu Xuan's consciousness, the two maids who were pruning branches and leaves walked towards him. He didn't want to disturb these maids, so as not to disturb Su Ye, so he immediately used his body skills and quietly passed by the two maids. He was so fast that except for a breeze, these maids couldn't even see his afterimage. arrive.
"Xia Cao, did you feel that someone passed by just now?" A maid in blue clothes said doubtfully, still looking at the place where Lu Xuan just passed by.
Another maid in green holding a pair of big scissors couldn't help laughing and said: "Dong Chong, are you tired of cutting and want to be lazy? How can there be anyone? This is the backyard of the city lord's mansion. There are so many guards in front. Who can Come in if you can."
"No, but I really feel as if someone has passed by, and the wind has picked up my clothes." The maid named Dong Chong said angrily.
Na Xia Cao was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, picked up the big scissors and started to build the osmanthus tree that Lu Xuan had just admired.
Lu Xuan, who had already arrived in front of Su Ye's room, smiled slightly. The girl named Dong Chong was quite talented. She had not practiced it before, but she naturally developed a strong sense of consciousness. It was a pity that she didn't know how to use it. Otherwise, she would have noticed it just now. It seemed that someone passed by and was able to capture Lu Xuan's traces.
There was no one guarding Su Ye's door. She was considerate of her servants and never kept her maids waiting during the lunch break. She also let them rest. However, the maids were never lazy and usually went to water the garden at noon. Water and prune the branches and leaves. Although Su Ye arranged the garden, it was them who took care of it.
Lu Xuan gently opened the door without making any sound. Going around the screen, you could faintly see Su Ye asleep through the gauze curtain on the bed, breathing evenly. Lu Xuan sat down on the chair next to the table. There was a pile of documents on the table, and another one was opened and spread out.
Lu Xuan had nothing to do, so he picked it up and looked through it. There is no doubt that this volume records some of the city affairs in Anping City. After a few glances, Lu Xuan already understood that this was exactly what he had done before. Long Ming reported to him that some refugees in the east of the city had formed a gang.
As he watched, Lu Xuan began to think deeply without even realizing it, tapping the pages of the book with his fingers unconsciously.
This matter is somewhat different from what Long Ming reported to him before. Long Ming only said that it was a gang that could not succeed. He had already arranged a solution. But judging from what was said above in this scroll, it was obvious that there was no such thing as Long Ming. That's such an understatement.
The identities of this group of refugees are very mixed. Among them, the person in charge came from Beiboruo. He united a group of people from three religions and nine streams to form a fish and dragon gang. The meaning is self-evident, that is, a mixture of fish and dragons.
If this gang just unites some outsiders to make it convenient for others and themselves, then that's it. But looking at this meaning, they seem to want to establish a city within a city.
Lu Xuan looked at the narrative in the dossier and sneered in his heart. They thought that this was the fiefdom of the vassal king, and the Kowloon Dynasty would not interfere in its affairs. Plus, they bullied Su Ye into running the city as a woman, so they wanted to cause chaos
"Your Majesty?"
Just as Lu Xuan's thoughts were spreading, a voice of surprise and joy came from behind him. Lu Xuan turned around to look, but it was Su Ye who had lifted the gauze curtain and was looking at him in surprise.
Lu Xuan smiled, put down the case file, stood up, and said, "Did I disturb you? I asked Wang Chao before, and it seems that you usually have to sleep for a while?"
Su Ye shook his head gently: "No, it's because I'm a light sleeper and I've been thinking about some things in the city recently, so I woke up earlier."
Seeing Su Ye want to get up, Lu Xuan walked over and held her down, lifted the gauze curtain and sat on the bed, gently pulled Su Ye over and held her in his arms.
Su Ye's face was slightly red, but she very meekly pressed her face against Lu Xuan's chest, feeling Lu Xuan's heartbeat. This seemed to make her more relaxed and at ease than any other calming powder.
Lu Xuan held Su Ye's hand, and a trace of warm and mellow energy slowly entered Su Ye's body. He said reproachfully: "You can be considered a cultivator after all, so why don't you pay attention to taking care of your body? In the past few years, your strength has declined instead of advancing."
After hearing Lu Xuan's scolding, Su Ye not only didn't feel embarrassed, but instead put his arms around Lu Xuan's waist, pressed closer, and said in a disgusting voice: "There are so many masters in Anping City nowadays, anyway, my strength is not enough." If it’s of no use, I don’t care. Besides, I often make some decoction and drink it, so it’s not a big deal.”
"Nonsense." Lu Xuan said helplessly: "You are a pharmacist yourself. How can you not know that no matter how good the medicine is, you can't take it often? You are simply overdrafting your body."
There was reproach in Lu Xuan's tone, but more importantly, he felt distressed. Su Ye had seven exquisite orifices, so why couldn't he tell that, but he was even happier. He hugged Lu Xuan and refused to let go. The last time we met in a hurry, Lu Xuan had important things to do and didn't have time to say anything more. This time, looking at Lu Xuan's appearance, it was obvious that he was finished.
Closing his eyes and enjoying the tranquility of this moment, Su Ye asked softly: "Why did you come back suddenly this time?"
"Part of it is for you, and part of it is for the beast tide. Such a big thing happened in Zhongzhou, so of course I have to come back."
The smart Su Ye didn't ask whether it was for her or for the beast tide. This was a meaningless answer. Lu Xuan's words were enough.
"Then where have you been all these years? Have you found... your former lover?" Su Ye regretted it as soon as she asked. Her body couldn't help but tighten. She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to get.
Lu Xuan felt Su Ye's nervousness and couldn't help but smile: "I have many lovers, which one do you ask?"
"Disgusting." Su Ye snarled and buried her head in Lu Xuan's chest. However, after Lu Xuan said this, he couldn't help but relax a little, feeling a little disappointed but also a little hopeful.
Lu Xuan put his chin on Su Ye's head and said loudly: "I went to Jiuhua League and found them, but a lot of things happened during the period. One of them, I may never see again."
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan's voice was a little low, but then he hugged Su Ye tighter and said firmly: "So, I will never lose anyone again, including you."
Including me? Su Ye repeated it in his mind, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was enough.
