"Master, this...this horse has such a fierce temper!"
At the entrance of Binyue Inn, Xiangyun Horse had already unloaded the carriage behind it. Facing Xiao Lengyu who wanted to take it away, it hissed and raised its legs several times, almost kicking Xiao Lengyu away.
"this……"
Xuanming touched his long, smooth white beard, looked at the tall and strong silver Pegasus, and then looked at Hua Qingcheng who was standing aside with her arms crossed, watching the excitement. Xuanming narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
This Pegasus is extraordinary, smarter and more human-like than ordinary horses. It must have developed feelings for its old master, which is why it is so resistant to being led by Leng Yu.
"Miss Qingcheng, I have given you everything I promised to give you. Look at this..." Xuanming hesitated to speak, looking very troubled and embarrassed.
"Xiao Lengyu, please stand aside and let me do it." Hua Qingcheng glanced at Xuanming and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This Xuanming is also an old fox.
After hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Xiao Lengyu let go of the reins of Xiangyun Horse and stood aside waiting.
"Xiangyun, come here!"
Then, everyone saw Hua Qingcheng waved to Xiangyun Horse and shouted something, and then the horse walked up to her obediently and rubbed her arm with its head.
What was jaw-dropping was that Hua Qingcheng just whispered a few words in the horse's ear, and then everyone saw that the originally unruly silver Pegasus quickly became docile, and even came to Xiao Lengyu's side and stood obediently.
However, Xiangyun Horse refused to let either Xiao Lengyu or Xuanming ride on it. In the end, they could only ride the two original white horses, while Xiangyun Horse followed behind them at a leisurely pace.
Seeing the Xiangyun horse gradually disappearing behind Xuanming and Xiao Lengyu, Situ Ye felt a little melancholy. This Xiangyun horse had been with them for a month and a half, and it was really hard to let them go so suddenly.
"Erlang, don't worry. We will be able to see Xiangyun Horse again when we return to Huaqiao Village from the capital." Seeing Situ Ye looking at the direction where Xiangyun Horse left for a long time without looking away, Hua Qingcheng stepped forward and shook his hand.
"That's true."
Perhaps it was Tianlang's emotions that were at work. Although Situ Ye knew Xuanming had traded the Xiangyun horse for his third brother, he still felt a little lonely. After all, on the battlefield, a horse was a companion and comrade who shared his feelings.
"Qingcheng, what did you say to Xiangyun Horse just now? Why is it suddenly willing to follow Xuanming and the others?"
Seeing Xuanming and Xiao Lengyu riding away on horseback, Si Chengfeng, who was standing at the door of the inn, also walked slowly to Hua Qingcheng's side.
He also saw the scene where Xiao Lengyu was almost kicked away while leading the horse. The contrast between the horse's attitude before and after was quite big, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Oh, I just told it that this old man with white beard is its third father's master, and asked it to follow these two people back to Huaqiao Village to find its third father."
"Third father?"
Si Chengfeng's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
"That's right, Sanlang is Xiangyun's third father, and Wulang, you are naturally its fifth father!" Hua Qingcheng used the other empty hand to hold Si Chengfeng and gave him a sly smile.
"Five...Goro?"
Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Si Chengfeng's lips curled up slightly. This name really is... really nice.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Qingcheng, it's getting late. I have to go back to the Prime Minister's Residence first. I'll wait for you there tomorrow. See you there."
It was almost You time now, and seeing that the two of them were getting more and more affectionate, Situ Ye couldn't help but remind them.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Yes, Qingcheng, Second Brother Situ is right. It is indeed getting late, and I should return to the General's Mansion in the east of the city."
In addition to the time Xuanming spent using the ice toad to detoxify Si Chengfeng, Si Chengfeng and Hua Qingcheng stayed in the guest room for three and a half hours before coming out, which indeed wasted a lot of time.
"Forget it, Chengfeng, why don't you go back tomorrow and stay in the inn tonight." Hua Qingcheng was a little worried seeing that Si Chengfeng was still a little weak even though the cold poison had been cured.
"Alright... that's fine."
Si Chengfeng's eyes were as charming as silk, and he looked at Hua Qingcheng with a warm smile. However, his face looked a little pale, and his body seemed very weak. Seeing his frail and delicate posture, Hua Qingcheng's heart couldn't help but ache slightly.
Situ Ye, who had already walked to the door of the inn, almost stumbled and fell to the ground when he heard this.
Wrong decision!
Situ Ye secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
But the words had already been spoken, and Situ Ye finally got on the carriage driven by Feng Wu and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Looking at the road home getting closer and closer, Situ Ye felt complicated.
Three years!
It’s been three whole years!
He has been away from home for three whole years!
Now that Situ Xuanye had finally returned, he wondered how his father would feel upon seeing him, and whether he would once again involve him with the daughter of the Xiahou Mansion...
Less than two quarters of an hour after setting out from Binyue Inn, Feng Wu parked the carriage ten meters away from the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Master Situ, we've arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence!"
Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Feng Wu reminded Situ Ye.
"Thank you very much, Brother Fengwu." Situ Ye nodded to Fengwu and got off the carriage with his luggage.
"Mr. Situ, you are too polite. This is just my duty. Mr. Situ, take care. I will go back first."
After Feng Wu finished speaking, he turned around and drove the carriage towards Binyue Inn.
After watching the carriage gradually move away until it was out of sight, Situ Ye slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the extremely familiar house in front.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was still surrounded by its high walls. Two majestic stone lions stood guard at the main gate, one on each side. The two bright yellow bronze lion heads on the vermilion gate gleamed in the setting sun.
However, as soon as Situ Ye reached the gate of the prime minister's residence, he was stopped by two sword-wielding guards guarding the left and right sides of the gate.
"Stop, who are you? Do you know where this place is? This is the Prime Minister's residence, not a place you can trespass in."
Looking at the strange man who suddenly appeared, wearing a dark suit, tall and burly, with several bags on his shoulders, Guard A pointed with his sword at the gate behind him, at the imposing plaque made of golden nanmu wood, with the three big characters "Prime Minister's Mansion" painted in gold, and spoke sternly.
Situ Ye did not recognize the two guards who stopped him. They must have come during the time he was away from home.
"Situ Xuanye!"
Situ Ye looked up at the large gold-painted plaque made of golden nanmu wood above his head, which was as magnificent as ever, and spoke word by word.
