Chapter 695 Who's back? !

Before Wei Xiaozhi left Kyoto, many of his good friends were worried about his safety, so they made an agreement with him to write a letter every half a month.

If no letter is received within a month, the friends will mobilize the power of the family and go through official channels to find the traitor Gu Nanxi and ask for the person back.

Wei Xiaozhi walked around the town and returned to the inn when the sun set.

The innkeeper was reluctant to use candles and only placed an oil lamp on each table.

The faint flames flickered, and the cold wind blowing in through the crack in the door made the oil lamp flicker.

Chen Yixuan originally wanted to pick up a piece of meat, but because the light was too dim, he picked up a piece of ginger instead.

He made a bitter face, chewed the ginger briefly, and then swallowed it.

What a sin! He is the young master of the Chen family and he hates eating ginger the most.

"Boss, I'll pay more, please give me a new candle."

Shopkeeper: "A candle costs more than 200 coins. How can I afford it?"

Chen Yixuan said helplessly, "How about you bring a lampshade over? Your inn is so drafty, I'm afraid the oil lamp will be blown out."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and held out his hand: "Always."

"Huh?! You're such a nice guy. You could have robbed me, but you gave me a lampshade instead."

The shopkeeper explained, "I didn't cheat you out of money. The new glass lamp from Yunzhou is priced at one tael. It just so happened that a Yunzhou merchant caravan passed by and stopped in our town to rest."

Chen Yixuan was a little reluctant, but it was his wife who made the final decision. She told him to go and take a look at the goods first and buy them if they were suitable.

As they were leaving, Yue Ping curled his lips and said, "A lantern only costs five strings of cash, but he actually spent one string of cash on an oil lamp. He really has money but nowhere to spend it. Alas, the rich are feasting and drinking, but the poor are freezing to death on the streets."

The shopkeeper was very upset. Spending five strings of cash on a lantern is considered frugal? !

Not long after, Chen Yixuan walked in with a glass lamp in his hand, smiling happily.

He held up the glass lamp high and showed it to everyone: "See? It's transparent! It's very bright! It's a great bargain. The leader said that when this lamp arrives in Kyoto, it will sell for at least three kan!"

Everyone gathered around, looking surprised.

"How did you do that?! It's so thin and transparent! Even more transparent than crystal."

"What a masterpiece! I knew Yunzhou was going to build a glass workshop, but I didn't expect that they would actually make it."

"Which one is better, this glass or the glass lamp in the palace?"

Wei Xiaozhi: "The ones in the palace are more exquisite, but the colored glaze in Yunzhou is very unique. It must be a special craft. For one tael of silver, it's a good deal!"

This glass lamp is ingeniously designed. It can be used with either oil or candles. It has excellent windproof effect and high brightness.

Wei Xiaozhi was very tempted and went to the caravan to buy one himself.

He returned to his room, lit the glass lamp, and under the bright light, he ground ink and wrote a letter titled "Travels to the North".

Wei Xiaozhi's literary ideas flowed like a spring, and he wrote as if inspired by God in one go.

After the article was completed, Wei Xiaozhi could not help but admire it. The more he read, the more he found it unpleasant. Why did this article... flatter Gu Nanxi so much? !

Wei Xiaozhi doubted his life. Wasn't he a hater of Gu Nanxi?! Didn't he think she was too murderous and couldn't be a wise ruler?!

What's up with this article?

Wei Xiaozhi did not sleep well that night. With dark circles under his eyes and full of confusion, he followed the crowd across the chain bridge and entered Xuanzhen County.

"What? Godmother left?!" Chen Yixuan hung his head like an abandoned golden retriever.

The one who stayed behind in Xuanzhen County was Changhong, a student from Baichuan Academy. He warmly entertained Chen Yixuan and others.

"My Lord had urgent business and left Xuanzhen County three days ago. She got the news on the way and learned that Lord Jiang, Lord Chen, and Lord Li were coming, so she ordered me to entertain them well."

Changhong took Chen Yixuan and his party to the post station and asked them about their next plans.

"Master Li Mingde is in Hezhong Prefecture. He is busy with work and cannot leave easily. Master Li, Madam Li, are you going to Hezhong Prefecture?"

Mrs. Li missed her son Li Mingde, so she nodded repeatedly: "Go! You must go."

Li Erlang, Li Sanlang, you bumped into me, I bumped into you, and finally Li Sanlang stood up and said hesitantly, "Dad, Mom, we want to go to Yunzhou."

Lord Li glared at them and said, "Let's go see your eldest brother first, and then we'll go to Yunzhou to visit Duke Yun."

Li Erlang and Li Sanlang were overjoyed. They were happy to see Duke Yun!

Chang Hong turned his gaze to Lord Jiang and Lord Chen again: "My Lords, what are your plans for you and your family?"

Chang Hong looked a little embarrassed: "It's not that I want to chase you away, it's just that we just took over Xuanzhen County not long ago, the county is messy and chaotic, not as organized as Yunzhou and Shuozhou."

Lord Jiang and Lord Chen said in unison: "Let's go to Yunzhou."

They originally came here for Duke Yun, so they would go wherever Duke Yun was.

Chang Hong was delighted and clapped his hands, saying, "That's great! If Duke Yun knew that you were going to Yunzhou, he would definitely be delighted. Duke Yun is in urgent need of manpower right now, and with the help of you gentlemen, it will be even more powerful."

As for Wei Xiaozhi, Yue Ping and others, there was no doubt that they were going to look for Gu Nanxi.

After Yue Ping sent the luggage upstairs, he saw Changhong still talking to Chen Yixuan and his wife downstairs, so he walked over and asked.

"What urgent matter does Duke Yun have that requires him to return to Yunzhou in such a hurry?"

Changhong blinked his clear eyes and replied sincerely: "I don't know either."

Yue Ping curled his lips in disdain and said, "I don't believe you!"

Yue Ping didn't want to get the news, he just had a hobby of gossiping. If others were unwilling to talk, he would naturally not ask.

Yue Ping and Wei Xiao went downstairs. They planned to take a trip to Xuanzhen County to see what magic Xuanzhen County had that attracted the people of Qingping Town to yearn for it.

Until he could no longer see the backs of the two people, Chen Yixuan leaned close to Changhong's ear and asked in a whisper: "Changhong, do you really not know where your godmother is?"

"Ah!" Chen Yixuan suddenly covered his arm, tears streaming down his face, and looked at his wife accusingly, "Why are you pinching me?"

His wife gnashed her teeth and said, "I have a little idea in my mind, is this something you can ask?!"

Chen Yixuan felt aggrieved, but didn't dare to speak.

Changhong looked at Chen Yixuan with sympathy. Life was hard with a fierce wife at home. It had been hard for Yixuan!

"What's wrong with me telling you? It's not a big secret. Everyone will know it soon."

Chang Hong covered his mouth with his hands and whispered, "Su Yunting is back! His fiancée Shuyao came with him. I heard that he will hold a wedding in Yunzhou this time."

"What?! Fourth brother is back?!" Chen Yixuan's eyes lit up instantly, his eyes widened, his face flushed, his lips trembled, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

Censor Jiang and Lord Li, who were about to go downstairs, looked at each other with serious expressions.

The wedding can be held at any time, and Duke Yun will definitely not return to Yunzhou early for this matter!

Something big must have happened!
