Nanxing wanted to refute Cangshu, but Cangshu's argument made a lot of sense. The young master was the youngest among the five of them and was very close to them. He naturally didn't want anyone to say anything bad about the young master.
Cang Shu put his arm around Nan Xing's shoulders and continued, "Whether others talk about the young master and us is not the most important thing. When we were in Luocheng, the young master looked at the young general with a different look than when he looked at us. That look was not affectionate, but gentle and tender. I think the young master has definitely been tempted by worldly desires. Have you heard that men are very petty, especially married men? If he knew that the young master and we were behaving intimately, I'm afraid he would have a conflict with the young master. We are brothers, and as brothers, we should consider each other..."
Cang Zhu had a long speech, and with his eloquent tongue, he persuaded Nan Xing with logic and moved her with emotion. He made a powerful analysis, and poured every word of truth into Nan Xing's mind, and finally convinced Nan Xing.
Nan Xing said, "I know. Doesn't that mean I can't be on friendly terms with the young master and should keep my distance from her?"
Cang Shu knew that he had heard it, so he said, "You don't have to keep your distance. You can call each other brothers, but you should be careful about the limits."
Nanxing was very happy and went to find Jingmo.
Cangzhu felt dry in the mouth and poured himself a bowl of boiled water. In fact, Nanxing was a simple-minded man with a stubborn temper. In order to persuade him, he really put in a lot of effort and said everything he could think of. God knows how many words he said, but it was quite a lot.
Jiang Li held the sword in his hand, crossed his arms, and leaned lazily against the log behind him. He said calmly, "You don't have to be like this with Nanxing. Just talk to him."
Cang Shu shrugged, looked at Jiang Li, and said with a smile: "Do you think I am idle? Nan Xing is the kind of person who will forget if he is not reminded. It is better to get rid of it once and for all than to keep reminding him."
So that's how it is. Jiang Li had nothing to say, and he didn't have anything good to say.
Cangshu drank water from a ceramic bowl and advised, "You should follow Nanxing to the capital. Go to Lanling first and then go to the capital with Nanxing."
"Okay." Jiang Li was very frugal with his words, then went out with his sword.
The next day, Jiang Li and Nan Xing set off for Lanling. Nan Xing originally wanted him to go to the capital while Jiang Li went to Lanling, but Jiang Li dragged him to Lanling. He didn't want to go to Lanling with Jiang Li, but Jiang Li said coldly: "Do you think that I want to take you with me because of Cang Shu's intention?"
He glanced at Nanxing with disdain and added, "You talk too much and are noisy."
Nanxing immediately became unhappy and kicked Jiang Li's horse. Jiang Li was quick-witted and swung his sword to block Nanxing's evil foot.
"Ah." The scabbard hit his ankle heavily, and Nanxing screamed in pain.
At this time, Jiang Li whipped the horse and rode forward, raising dust wherever the horse stepped. In a moment, he left Nanxing far behind.
Nan Xing looked at Jiang Li galloping on his horse and was so angry, "Jiang Li, just wait!"
He then rode his horse to chase Jiang Li, but he could not catch up with Jiang Li until Jiang Li slowed down, and then he caught up with him.
Nan Xing yelled at Jiang Li, "Mr. Jiang, you are not kind. A gentleman should use words instead of fists. Are you not a gentleman anymore? You don't have any gentlemanly manners at all?"
Jiang Li had a blank expression on his face: "Same here."
Nan Xing was slightly annoyed, and then felt awkward the next moment. It seemed that he was the one who started it first?
"You're just being rude, you deserve a beating." Nan Xing felt that since he was the one who started it first, he was not wrong, and it was because of Jiang Li's rudeness.
Jiang Li threw the water bag to Nanxing.
Nanxing caught the water bag and her anger completely dissipated. She felt that Jiang Li had some humanity and had a change of heart, knowing that he was thirsty.
He gulped down a few gulps of water, replaced the stopper on the water bag, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and then handed the water bag to Jiang Li, "Here."
Jiang Li shook his head and remained silent.
Nan Xing thought he was not thirsty, so he had to hang the water bag on his horse. He never thought that Jiang Li was not having a change of heart, but was annoyed by his noisy behavior, so he deliberately stopped to give him water to prevent him from being noisy and annoying.
As Jiang Li wished, Nan Xing remained silent throughout the rest of the trip, except when absolutely necessary, mainly because he didn't want to bother with her. Nan Xing also knew better and didn't dare to bother Jiang Li, the iceberg, lest she hurt herself and end up losing more than she gained.
Qin Youran has returned to the capital.
After arriving at the closed city, Qin Youran returned to the Prince of Qin's residence. After washing, he changed into a dark blue, wide-sleeved casual dress. He tied his long hair into a bun, wore a crown, and pinned it with a white jade hairpin. His handsome face made him look like a noble young man from a wealthy family. He and Mu Qing quickly entered the palace, bringing several jars of Maotai liquor.
Since I have been granted permission by my brother the emperor to travel outside the capital, of course I have to bring a few jars of good wine into the palace to express my gratitude.
After entering the palace, people and wine went straight to the Chuigong Hall, where Zhao Zixu was handling government affairs. Before reaching the palace gate, he saw the eunuch Luo Shen outside the hall. He was wearing a blue shirt. Seeing Qin Youran coming, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qin."
Eunuch Luo was a popular figure around Zhao Zixu, the chief eunuch. Qin Youran naturally didn't dare neglect him and treated him with great courtesy, "Mr. Luo."
When Eunuch Luo saw him carrying several jars, he asked, "When did His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin return?"
"Just got back a while ago," Qin Youran said. He lifted the jar of wine and held it in front of Eunuch Luo. "With Your Majesty's permission to take leave, I brought back several jars of the finest Maotai to present to Your Majesty. Sir, you have some too, but it's not Maotai, it's Jinhua wine. Mu Qing, take it."
Qin Youran turned around and looked at Mu Qing: "Mu Qing, give it to the gentleman."
Mu Qing stepped forward, bowed to Luo Nei Shi, and gave him two jars of Jinhua wine.
Eunuch Luo smiled and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin brought wine for His Majesty, and there is also a share for me, so I will accept it. Thank you, Your Highness the Prince of Qin." He took the jar of wine from Mu Qing's hand.
Qin Youran said, "Jinhua wine is a type of cold wine, not very strong. Everyone in the capital, from common people and officials to married women and young ladies, all like cold wine. Sir, you are on duty in front of the Emperor, so it's not appropriate for you to smell of alcohol. It would be inappropriate for you to get drunk, so I think Jinhua wine is more suitable for you."
Luo the eunuch said, "Your Highness is very polite."
Qin Youran smiled and said, "I'm not being polite. My royal brother has graciously allowed me to go out and explore the country, so I'll bring back some good wine to share with you."
He peeked towards the palace door and asked, "Sir, is my brother busy?"
Luo Nei Shi said: "His Majesty is handling government affairs. Your Highness, please see His Majesty. I will go and report to His Majesty."
Qin Youran said, "My Royal Brother is busy with state affairs, so I won't bother you any more. I'll be leaving in a moment."
Eunuch Luo called a young eunuch and asked him to bring the Jinhua wine.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, please let this old servant take the wine."
Qin Youran handed the wine to Eunuch Luo, who entered the palace and announced that the Prince of Qin had returned. Zhao Zixu simply said "hmm" and then added, "Now that the Prince of Qin has returned, tell him to stop running around and focus on his duties. As a prince, doing his job well is the most important thing."
