, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Yi didn't notice Yang Jin's subtle tone, but he really said it very honestly.

Yang Jin:......

You don't have to tell me!

I can find out all the information about Li Ji at such a fast speed. Is this still a human being?

"How did Miss Six find out about Li Ji?" Yang Jin asked secretly, figuring out Miss Six's path. He also wanted to overtake in a corner.

Su Yi didn't know, he didn't ask his sister, so he shook his head.

Yang Jin looked at Su Yi with difficulty. This prince was really the most innocent and honest person he had ever seen.

The prince here met Su Yi and took the evidence he sent. These evidences are indeed very important, and although the matter about Li Ji still needs to be verified, Yan Junchu thought of Su Xinyi's character. She didn't look like someone who had heard about something. people.

I'm afraid that these news are probably true. Yan Junchu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Su Yi talk about the origin of paper and other things.

Not taking the usual path is indeed what Miss Su Liu will do.

Su Yi felt relieved after reporting the matter, and felt relaxed all over. Hearing the prince ask, "Who else knows about Li Ji's matter?"

Su Yi said: "My sister-in-law only told me that she will follow her family south to Huaining in a few days. It is impossible to tell others about this."

Yan Junchu was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly: "Miss Su Liu went to her hometown in Huaining to worship her ancestors?"

Su Yi smiled honestly, "Yes, since he is a member of our family, of course he must write his name on the family tree of his hometown, inform his relatives, and pay tribute to his family ancestors."

Yan Junchu said: "This is a happy event."

Su Yi nodded, he also thought it was a good thing. As for his sister's plan to return to Huaining with her niece, he didn't say anything. After all, it involved Shi Zhongqian. This kind of household chores involved pulling out carrots and bringing out the mud. No matter what, it would hurt both sides. If you talk too much, it would be wrong, so just keep silent.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Yi and Yang Jin, "How about you two going south to Huaining?"

Yang Jin immediately said: "I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness."

Su Yi was a step late. He didn't expect such a big job to fall on him, so he also said, "My subordinate is willing."

"Then go and prepare." Yan Junchu nodded, "Behind Li Ji are Concubine Li and Taishi Li. When you go south, remember to be cautious and don't alert others. It's important to collect evidence."

"Yes." They both responded in unison.

On the other side, Su Xinyi also received news from her mother that her mother and daughter were going to Huaining together.

Su Jingmo and Su Xixian were envious, and Su Chaoyan didn't compete with each other, so there was nothing special about them.

"I heard that the Su family in Huaining is more impressive than the Duke's Mansion in the capital. I really want to go back and have a look." Su Jingmo said with great yearning. After all, that is the old residence of the Su family.

Su Xixian nodded, "Yes, it's a pity that we can't go."

If there are too many people and the target of the convoy is too big, Shi Zhongqian will naturally notice it, and it will be annoying enough to be targeted by him.

Moreover, the sisters are about the same age and have to stay in the capital to see their marriage. The third lady certainly doesn't want her daughter to travel back and forth for several months to delay a lifelong event.

Although Su Yi couldn't accompany him as an escort, he couldn't really let the fourth lady take him with him at home. If he encountered someone dealing with officials on the way, it would be better for a man to come forward.

So Su Qi, who was studying in the academy, was called back. He was at home for the second time. Su Yi, the eldest brother, couldn't go, so he had to go.

Su Qi once followed his father back to his hometown. Naturally, he happily agreed to the errand. Being able to go out with his sixth sister again must have been very lively on the road. For him, who spent all day studying in the academy, it was simply a surprise. It is joy falling from heaven.

In order to ensure safety on the road, Duke Su Mi of Qi specifically inquired about it. It was a coincidence that the officers and soldiers deployed to defend Pingning Guard happened to be passing through Huaining, so he asked the commander of Pingning Guard, Xie Jinglue, to look after him all the way.

Su Mi is not as famous as his fourth brother in radio broadcasting, precisely because he is honest and honest, and compared to Su Chun, who has many ideas and tricks, and has a blind mind as soon as he turns his eyes, he is a very good person.

Moreover, Huaining is not far from Pingning Guard, and every year they send some rice flour and cotton-padded clothes to the surrounding guards. Of course, Pingning Guard has also benefited from the Su family, so Jinglui immediately agreed after listening to Su Mi's words.

Jinglue lives up to his name. Even though he is a military general, he looks very elegant and has the demeanor of a Confucian general. His speech is neither slow nor slow, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

"Of course, the general will not refuse the request from the Duke of the State." Jie Jing smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of the fact that the general will return to Beijing to resume his duties, he has heard a lot about Miss Su Liu's deeds in a short period of time. I think back to that time. The Fourth Master Su and I once had a relationship, but our relationship was short-lived but we had a good rapport. The Fourth Master Su died for his country, and the general will respect him very much. "

Mentioning the fourth brother, Su Mi's expression also showed a bit of sadness, "As a soldier, this is his mission. It is his duty to protect the border and be loyal to the king. The fourth brother died a worthy death, and our whole family is proud of him." "

After Jie Jinglue and Su Mi had a drink, the matter was settled, and the Duke of Qi came up with a sum of money to garrison the Pingning Guards, so naturally everyone was happy.

Knowing that the commander was escorting him all the way, everyone in the Duke of Qi's mansion breathed a long sigh of relief. They were really relieved now.

The night before leaving, Mrs. Tai called Su Baiwei, looked at her and said, "I have already written to the old house. You can take Sister Jun to live there with peace of mind."

Su Baiwei hurriedly stood up and saluted her grandmother, "It's because my granddaughter is being unfilial to bother her about my affairs."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Tai smiled, patted Su Baiwei's hand and said, "Although you are from Heli, it is not uncommon for Heli to remarry in Nan Qi. There are familiar faces everywhere in the capital. It’s too easy to say, but in Huaining I’ll ask your third uncle and grandmother to look after you and see if there’s a suitable candidate.”

"Grandma..." Su Baiwei was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to get married again so soon.

"Listen to grandma." The wife looked at her granddaughter with a serious expression. "You are in your best years now. You only have a daughter, Sister Jun. Even if you remarry, you can still find a good family. Grandma doesn't insist on you marrying. In Huaining, I want you to see if there is anyone you like. If there is nothing suitable, you can come back in a year and a half. "

At this point, Mrs. Tai took a breath and added: "If you can meet the right person in Huaining, you can marry her and stay away from the capital and the Shi family. This will be a good thing for Sister Jun and you. Grandma is telling you this. I want you to have a good idea first, and if you find someone suitable, write back and I will ask your parents to go back and see for themselves, so that I can take good care of you. "

Su Baiwei knew her grandmother's thoughts, her eyes turned red, and she nodded in agreement, "My granddaughter will remember it."

"Why are you crying? If you really can't find the right one, you will never marry for the rest of your life, and the house can accommodate you. You can advance or retreat, and straighten your spine." The wife said.

"Yes." Su Baiwei laughed while crying.

After Su Baiwei left, Mother Yu looked at the expression on Mrs. Tai's face and cautiously advised her: "Mrs. Tai, you did the right thing. This person always needs a companion. When Sister Jun grows up and gets married in the future, she will just It’s so lonely when I’m the only one left. If I can find the right person, I can have someone to rely on for the rest of my life.”

Mrs. Tai let out a long sigh, "Bai Wei is good at everything, but she is too considerate of others. It depends on her fate."

This time they left the Duke of Qi's Mansion quietly. On the first day of their departure, their family held a farewell banquet for them. Early the next morning, Su Qi led the convoy of the Duke of Qi's Mansion to meet Commander Xie outside the city gate through the morning dew and dawn. Make the confluence go south.

Su Qi rode forward on horseback like Commander Xie and others. Su Xinyi and the fourth lady were in a car, and Su Baiwei and her daughter were in a car. Behind them were accompanying vehicles arranged by the Duke's Mansion to ensure what was needed on the road.

When Jie Jinglue went to Beijing to resign, he brought not many people with him. One of his lieutenants was Fan Pengchi, the commander of Pingning Guards. This commander had a completely different style from theirs. He had a strong body and a stubble on his face. He looked very handsome. He was fierce and fierce, and when he saw Su Qi, a fair and tender young man like him, although he didn't show it on his face, there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.

After they left the capital for dozens of miles, more than a dozen people came to join Jinglue and others. Su Xinyi sat in the car and raised the curtain to see this scene, feeling thoughtful in her heart.

Although Su Qi is a white-faced scholar who seems to be frail, he rode the horse all day without complaining, and he didn't look like he was holding on. When they camped on the spot for dinner, Fan Pengchi's attitude towards Su Qi Visibly getting better.

The female family members were cooking on the other side. Naturally, there were maids and mothers-in-law busy at work, and there was also a cook accompanying them. Now even the people of Pingningwei did not have to chew dry dry food, and they drank hot soup and ate hot food. After dinner, Su Qi took advantage of the situation and became warm with them.

When Su Xinyi looked at him, he felt that his second brother was more than just his appearance. He didn't realize that he had such ability.

Mrs. Su Si and Su Baiwei didn't care about this. After finishing Sister Jun's cooking, Su Baiwei took her daughter back to the car to rest.

Mrs. Su Si looked at Su Xinyi and said, "We rested earlier and have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Mom, you go first. I'll wait for my second brother and come back later."

Mrs. Su Si gave a few instructions and got into the carriage. The carriages for long journeys were specially modified. The partitions in the carriages were laid out as beds, and thick brocade mattresses were laid on them to sleep.

Su Xinyi sat in front of the bonfire and remembered what her grandfather told her before leaving. Pingningwei had some contacts with the Su family in Huaining, and they were not far or close. This time they asked them to escort the uncle, and they also gave Pingningwei money to repair the house. .

As the day progressed, Su Xinyi secretly observed Jinglue and Fan Pengchi. Needless to say, Fan Pengchi was strong and could easily run around all day long.

On the other hand, the interpretation of the Bible is a bit surprising. The commanders of various military posts are hereditary. If I die in battle, his son will take over. If his son dies in war, his grandson will take over. If the official's descendant is still underage when he dies, the official will be provided through "preferential gifts" Full salary during lifetime.

Jie Jing Lue also looked like a white-faced scholar, but Su Xinyi had carefully observed that he had a skillful riding posture and was not tired from traveling long distances. He also did not put on airs when dealing with his second brother and seemed to be very easy to get along with.

It makes sense when you think about it. Hereditary inheritance is not an unconditional automatic inheritance. All the children of military attachés who are eligible for the inheritance need to participate in the competition held by the Martial Arts Selection Department. Through a strict hereditary selection system, we can prevent the descendants of officers from sitting on the royal food.

If Jinglue can successfully inherit the position of commander, he is certainly not an idiot.

The more this happened, the more vigilant Su Xinyi became. She had suffered too much from such smiling tigers in her previous life, and it made her cry just thinking about it.

Not long after, Su Qi came back, looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile, "Sixth sister hasn't rested yet?"

"I'm waiting for the second brother." Su Xinyi smiled, stepped aside, and motioned for the second brother to sit down and talk.

Su Qi sat down and said with a smile: "What do you want to ask?"

Su Xinyi was also happy, "Second brother is really smart."

The place where they were sitting was surrounded by open space. You could see if anyone was around when you raised your eyes, so it felt safe to talk here.

"After this day, I feel that Commander Jie is very easy to get along with. Fan Qianshi around him is a bit more temperamental."

Su Xinyi nodded when he heard this, "It's normal. Those who offend others are all subordinates, and only the boss above him can behave well."

Su Qi:......

This is not a rough statement.

"Not much can be seen in one day, but since it was entrusted by my father and he is considerate to the people in our house, this is enough." Su Qi said, and his family told him to keep an eye on his sixth sister on the way. Don't dare to be careless.

Su Xinyi was happy, "I know, second brother, don't worry, I promise not to cause trouble."

Su Qi was a little embarrassed, coughed slightly and said, "I also asked about something. Do you remember the person who will join us later today?"

Su Xinyi nodded, of course he remembered.

"There is a criminal who was exiled to the army there." It was the first time for Su Qi to see a prisoner who was exiled to the army, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, "I heard that he was from the Martial Arts Department."

The Martial Arts Department is a fat official responsible for the selection, promotion, replacement, and merit rewards of local officials in the guard station. Being an official here is certainly a fat job, but it is also very dangerous. If you are caught accidentally, you will either be beheaded or exiled.

Officials in the Southern Qi Dynasty were not as tolerant as those in the previous dynasty. They kept killing officials and exterminating families. It had happened that they had all the Jinshi in the same ranking. Such a strong law could only be seen in the Southern Qi Dynasty.

It's like the ancestral foundation of the Duke of Qin's palace is not weak, but when it comes to the Yanyin case, once the evidence is solid, the Duke of Qin's house was confiscated and imprisoned. It was so resolute and shocking that it was shocking.

Su Xinyi looked at the second brother and said, "It seems that this one should be exiled to Pingning Guard."

Su Qi said: "Sixth sister is really smart."

When Xie Jinglue came to Beijing to report on his duties, he happened to bring back the people who had been exiled to their guard station, so that the escort officials would not have to make another trip.

Seeing nothing at the moment, Su Xinyi looked at the second brother and said, "Second brother, please go and rest quickly. It's been a hard day riding a horse."

Su Qi just felt lucky that he didn't slack off when he went to the academy to study. Otherwise, not to mention riding a horse for a day today, half a day would be enough for him.

Just thinking about riding horses all the way to Huaining made him wish he could fly there with wings.

After breakfast early the next day, they hit the road. The scenery along the way gradually became different. It didn't look like the affluence of the capital. The villages and countryside along the way were different.

Densely populated areas will be richer, while sparsely populated areas will naturally be desolate.

The checkpoints on official roads are very strict. Even if there are people like Jie Jinglue and others, as well as the jade plaque from the Duke of Qi's mansion, the checkpoint inspectors still carefully check the official documents and directions.

After traveling for days, it was better for Su Xinyi and others to take a carriage, but Su Qi couldn't bear it anymore.

Mrs. Su Si felt a little distressed when she saw her. She looked at Su Qi and said, "You also come in and take the car. Let's rest for a day."

Su Qi shook his head. Although the carriage was spacious, it would seem cramped if the fourth aunt and sixth sister had him in the carriage. There was a child in the eldest sister's carriage at the back, and it was not convenient for him to go there.

Su Xinyi rolled his eyes, looked at Su Qi and said, "Second brother, let's switch. I've been holding back in the car for the past few days. You also let me ride a horse to stretch my muscles, okay?"

Su Qi immediately said: "How can that be done? The people riding horses outside are all men, and you are a girl..."

"It's just like I put on Hu clothes." Su Xinyi said with a smile, "And we are riding on horseback. Who has time to chat? Second brother, can you let me ride for one day? Just one day."

Su Qi really couldn't bear it anymore, so he hesitated.

When Mrs. Su Si saw her, she immediately said, "I'll go to the back to help Bai Wei look after Sister Jun. I'll give you a rest in this carriage for a day."

After the discussion, after breakfast, Su Xinyi went back to the carriage and changed her clothes. The fish belly white Hufu was nice and comfortable, and she got on Su Qi's horse neatly with calfskin boots on her feet.

Mrs. Su Fourth also asked the girl to take the things she needed to Su Baiwei's carriage, and gave the carriage to Su Qi. Su Qi did not refuse as soon as she saw it, and thanked her fourth aunt and sixth sister.

He staggered onto the carriage, spread out his own bedding, and let his servant Chang Dayou follow him. He took off his pants and saw that the areas where the ointment had been applied to both thighs were all swollen and slightly purple. He was really too bitter.

Su Qi:......

"Master, you can't ride a horse anymore. You have to rest for a few days." Chang Dayou took the ointment and applied it on the young master, being careful not to aggravate the injury.

Outside, Su Xinyi was riding on a horse and was not showing off. Instead, he followed the Su family's motorcade in an orderly manner. He also put some distance between himself and Jie Jinglue and others at the front, and asked Chang Dafu, the young man next to his second brother, to go over and explain. , to avoid misunderstanding.

The climate in the south is different from that in the capital. It’s humid and rainy, with lots of water. It makes your face feel moist when you breathe on it.

At the end of the day, no one from the Scripture Expository came to care about Su Xinyi. Su Xinyi also followed the carriage obediently. The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but the sky became gloomy not long after lunch. Su Xinyi raised his head and looked at the sky. , it is expected to rain.

However, she didn't say much. There were people in front of her who were used to walking outside, and they would definitely check the weather. As expected, it didn't take long for Jinglue to send people ahead to explore the road to find inns and inns.

Not long after, Su Xinyi saw someone riding back to answer the Bible Explanation. Soon someone came over and informed, "Miss Six, the commander said it will rain today. Go to the inn in front to take shelter from the rain. Look. OK?"

Su Xinyi certainly wouldn't make things difficult for others. There was no post station here, so it was reasonable to find an inn to stay, so she said, "I see, tell the commander to thank him for his trouble."

The soldier hurried to reply, and after hearing the reply, Jie Jinglue immediately sped up.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the inn. The inn in the town was not big. Unfortunately, before they arrived, a caravan also stayed here, so the rooms were tight.

Su Qi got off the carriage, walked to Su Xinyi and said, "Sixth sister, go back to the carriage first, I'll go and see."

Su Xinyi shook her head, "I'll go with my second brother."

Su Qi didn't refuse, and took Su Xinyi to Jie Jinglue. As soon as they got close, they heard Fan Pengchi's loud voice asking, "How many vacancies do you have?"

"Sir, including the rooms in the backyard that are not very good, there are a total of ten rooms." The waiter looked at such a group of people and felt timid. When he heard the question, he hurried forward to answer.

"How many connected rooms are there?" Fan Pengchi asked unsatisfiedly. Ten rooms were not enough for them.

"Four." The waiter frowned at the man in front of him, and his voice trembled with fear.

Fan Pengchi looked at the waiter, "Go and negotiate with the caravan people and ask them to give up the connected rooms. I will pay for their accommodation tonight."

The waiter hurriedly responded and ran away.

Su Xinyi heard the second brother beside him say: "We are new here, it is too dangerous to live separately, Fan Chenshi is right to do this."

Su Xinyi nodded, looking at the second brother and said: "I didn't expect Fan Chenshi to be so meticulous."

Su Qi smiled and said: "When marching and fighting, you have to go out to survey the terrain and set up camps. These are all things you need to know. Staying in a hotel is similar. We have a lot of people and we have women, so of course we have to be careful."

As the brother and sister talked, the other side quickly adjusted, and the caravan agreed to give up the room.

While the caravan was changing rooms, Xie Jinglue personally told the fourth lady through the carriage curtain, and then arranged the women of the Duke's Mansion in two adjacent rooms, Su Qi's room was also next to them, and a servant's room was given.

In this way, the Duke's Mansion occupied four rooms. Xie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi occupied one of the rooms given by the caravan, and the east and west rooms were all occupied by the accompanying soldiers to facilitate night guards.

The remaining people, plus other accompanying servants of the Duke's Mansion, could only live in the house in the backyard, and they had to squeeze into one room. The conditions in a small place were like this, and everyone couldn't complain. It was good to have a place to live.

Just after moving in, Su Xinyi helped the fourth lady into the room, and heavy rain fell outside. Everyone secretly called it luck, otherwise they would be wet in the rain.

After Su Xinyi settled her mother, she was about to go out to see her eldest sister and Yun Jie'er, when she suddenly heard a slight sound, mixed with the sound of rain, and it was difficult to hear the difference if she didn't distinguish it carefully.

Su Xinyi immediately signaled her mother to go to her eldest sister's room. She held the sword in her hand, slowed down her pace and walked to the window. She pushed the window open with a snap. She heard a click as if she hit something.

Su Xinyi held the sword tightly and flew out in an instant. She saw a black shadow flashing onto the roof. She immediately chased after it.

At this moment, the window next door also opened instantly. Xie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi stuck their heads out. Fan Pengchi cursed, grabbed the window with both hands, and turned over to the roof.

Xie Jinglue frowned, turned back from behind the window, and immediately called people to be on guard. He also selected a few people to chase Fan Pengchi and Su Xinyi.
