"Ms. sir, when were you injured and I didn't notice it?" Zhongli was very self-reproached when he heard the news. He didn't notice it.

"Um, internal injuries, internal injuries. Didn't the imperial doctor also see her? She's fine." Situ Xi forgot that his wife was also around, so he just said it casually, trying to find an excuse for his amnesia.

After a pause, he changed the subject and turned to look at Mu Juzheng: "Let's talk about you first."

Hearing that Situ Xi was in good health, Mu Juzheng felt relieved. As for amnesia, he didn't really care. He was very nervous, so long as he was well, that would be fine. Besides, maybe this would be a good thing for His Highness.

, there may be very few things worth remembering in the past.

"Last year, I accompanied His Highness to Chu. When I arrived at Panxi City, Your Highness asked me to leave the mission alone with some money, so that you could leave someone to work outside Xuan'an, but I only know some boxing skills.

Who knows how to make a living? I wrote to you in the first month and you left your address. I was really a little depressed, so I had no choice but to come to you." Mu Juzheng said as he took out a letter with "tin" engraved on it from his arms.

The wooden sign with the name was handed to Situ Xi, "When the envoy came to visit, there was also a certain name in the book, but he lost the document and became a stateless person after leaving the envoy. Other cities are fine, Xuan'an

It's a bit harsh... Anyway, there was a lot of delays along the way, and we just arrived today."

It turned out that it had been reported, so it would be easy to handle. Situ Xi took the wooden sign and looked at it for a while. This sign was ordinary. It seemed that anyone could copy it. It was not enough to prove his identity, but he was acting as his companion.

Those who come to Chu State should have records.

"You said in your letter that there were changes at home?"

When reading his letter, Situ Xi thought that this person came from Zhaoguo. He said "there were changes in the family", but he subconsciously thought that something big had happened in Zhaoguo.

"A certain girl fell in love with a girl in Panxi City and asked for a matchmaker, but she didn't expect that the matchmaker would take away all the money in a certain person's bag and disappeared within two days." Mu Juzheng touched the back of his head with his big hand and smiled shyly.

laugh.

…

People must be saved.

After chatting with him for a while, Situ Xi told Mu Juzheng that his adopted son was now under his care and told him not to worry.

After explaining the situation to Official Liu, Situ Xi registered it in the book again. Official Liu told him that he only needed to wait a few days, report to his superiors, and complete all the procedures before Mu Juzheng could be released.

Before that, he would be given better treatment and his identity would be confirmed with the Ministry of Rites. Situ Xi readily agreed.

After meeting him for the first time, although he could feel that Mu Juzheng had no ill intentions towards him, after all, his strength was a bit scary and his character was also unpredictable. If his origins were unknown, Situ Xi would not dare to keep him by his side.

Mu Juzheng knows where he lives and will look for him when he comes out.

The matter was almost done, Situ Xi and Zhong Lizhen exited the government office, and it started to drizzle outside at some point.

With the little boy's hopeful eyes, Situ Xi told him the good news.

The little boy finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although his father could not come out immediately, it was at least confirmed that he would not be severely punished.

That would be good. In the past, he had always heard the storyteller describe the officials responsible for punishment in the government office as if they were ghosts, and he felt terrible in his heart.

"Thank you sir for saving my father." Without any warning, the boy in the rain suddenly knelt down in front of Situ Xi and kowtowed, which shocked Qingyu and Zhongli.

Looking at the child kneeling in front of him, Situ Xi suddenly remembered some memories deep in his soul. After touching his pocket, he quickly pulled the child up:

"Get up quickly, even if you smash your head, I won't give you a thousand taels of red envelope."

…

The little boy is called Mu Feng, which is the name given to him by Mu Juzheng. Although Situ Xi feels that this name is far from the beauty of the four words "like a spring breeze", he also knows that Mu Juzheng's beautiful vision is entrusted in it.

.

There are still many things in my mind that I want to ask this child, but Situ Xi is a little tired today, so I'd better leave it to next time.

There were so many things in the past two days that I barely had time to adjust, and trivial matters kept coming to me one after another.

…

He originally wanted to take Mu Feng home to rest first, but the little boy disagreed and said that he could not cause any more trouble to his husband's family and that he could just find a corner to rest for a while at night.

What a wonderful child, so completely different from his adoptive father.

But his temper was as stubborn as a cow. No matter how he tried to persuade him, he decided to let Situ Xi leave him alone.

In desperation, Situ Xi had no choice but to hand him over to Zhang Yu'er when passing by a sake restaurant, and then opened a room for him in a nearby inn.

Under the constraints of "shameful waste", Mu Feng had no choice but to compromise.

There is only Zhang Yu'er in the restaurant. Because it is not open, the waiters and waiters in the restaurant have been closed for a few days. Today seems to be the day for the pre-election results of the Spring Food Festival. Old Zhang should have gone to see the results.

For some reason, since Situ Xi brought Zhong Limin and Qingyu to the restaurant last time, he always felt that Zhang Yu'er had become quieter. She was always in a daze while waiting aside, probably because the girl was worried.

This was not something Situ Xi should worry about. He packed some snacks and asked her to take care of Mufeng. He borrowed two umbrellas and went back to the house with his wife and Qingyu.

…

Poets all like to drink alone under the moon. Loneliness is both a state and an emotion.

The dark clouds wisely did not block the moon, and the moonlight was like amber fragments, scattered randomly in the yard, interspersed with the shadows of the trees, making it look a bit messy.

Zi Shi.

Situ Xi took out a bottle of fine wine from Lao Zhangtou and placed it on the table. He who always regarded himself as heartless actually felt a bit lonely at this moment.

Qingyu and Zhongli were already lying down, but he was so confused that he couldn't fall asleep.

Maybe it was because he saw some blood yesterday, or maybe he was a little busy today and collected some money, but he just felt that everything around him was more real. The cool evening breeze blew on his face, and his mind became clearer.

What he said to Mr. Fan today also gave him a sense of urgency. He brought out the so-called strategy. On the one hand, he hoped to deepen his bond with Mr. Fan, and on the other hand, he also hoped to plant a seed in Emperor Chu's heart.

seed.

Situ Xi didn't know in which direction things were developing, and whether his actions would hasten his own death, but he felt that some conflicts were intensifying within the Chu State. After all, there was such a nursery rhyme in the city a few days ago.

For what purpose, it at least shows that someone is causing trouble.

For him, this is not a bad thing. Although it is dangerous, it is also an opportunity for him to get closer to freedom.

As long as there are people playing chess, there is always a way out of the cracks.

Then you might as well add some firewood to it, it's better than doing nothing.

At least that's what he thinks now. He's not sure whether it will be self-defeating in the future.

As he was thinking about it, a single piece of clothing suddenly draped over Situ Xi's shoulders, and a sweet voice broke the silence.

"My husband is a little sad today."

Situ Xi was so absorbed just now that he didn't hear any footsteps. Zhong Limin sat down next to him, and the two of them were side by side.

"What is your husband thinking about?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how to escape from Chu State."

Turning his head to look to his side, Situ Xi could clearly see the smooth and delicate skin on Zhongli Min's side face with just a little bit of moonlight due to the close proximity.

"Ah, then we can only use water transport. There are many checkpoints at the north gate of Xuan'an and there are guards guarding it. It is too difficult. If we really want to escape, we'd better travel during the day. After all, the curfew and patrols are stricter at night. The most important thing is

What I need is to find someone to take care of it, so that things can go smoothly." Zhongli was a little stunned at first, but soon turned his head and looked at the wet land in the courtyard, and began to seriously make suggestions for him.

"My wife is obviously an interesting person."

After hearing this, Situ Xi couldn't help laughing and looked sideways at her until she buried her face in the arms surrounding her knees.

"I am serious." Zhongli raised his head to look at him again, and found that he was still holding a cup in his hand. He said softly: "Mr., drinking alcohol is harmful to your health."

"Would you like a drink, madam? This wine is light."

"want."

This answer is decisive.

With a chuckle, Situ Xi took out another cup.

There was no handover of cups, and the copper cups touched lightly. Zhongli was stunned because he didn't hold the cup firmly, and half of the cup of wine spilled out.

The leaves outside the courtyard make a sound.

In the few patches of moonlight in the courtyard, several ants and centipedes crawled slowly, but after a moment of confusion, they drilled into the holes in the soil and disappeared.

The two people in the courtyard were talking happily about something, no one knew.
