"Yao Niang, Xue Lang is back! He has arrived at the mansion."

"So what?" Yang Yuyao said lightly, "He has to go see Yan first."

She didn't look very good, not at all as happy as Mingzhu expected.

However, Mingzhu thought that there was nothing wrong with Xue Lang coming to see Yao Niang first. They were brother and sister, and her brother had recently passed away, so no one could say anything.

However, a figure had already ridden his horse to the outside of Da Ci'en Temple, got off his horse, and walked straight this way.

"It's Xue Lang!"

Mingzhu stood on tiptoes and looked outside the tower, looking with some intoxication at the figure that was getting closer and closer.

On the contrary, Yang Yuyao still didn't react much and didn't get off the tower. She just stood there, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xue Bai had already entered the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and climbed up the steps. The steps became narrower and steeper as they went up. Just now, Yang Yuyao was carefully holding on to the wall when she climbed up, but Xue Bai was still three feet tall.

Take two steps.

"Slow down, Xue Lang, slow down." Mingzhu quickly reminded her gently.

Yang Yuyao then turned around, but Xue Bai was already in front of her.

Before she could speak, she was hugged tightly by him.

He patted her back gently and said, "I know, you are sad."

After not seeing each other for a year, he has actually grown taller. Yang Yuyao is already very tall, but now it only reaches his mouth. He is also much stronger, with a broad chest, like a big bed. But he is also darker.

It was a bit dirty, with the smell of dust, horse manure and sweat on the body.

Yang Yuyao lay in Xue Bai's arms for a while, then suddenly pushed him away and cursed: "If you don't want to come back, don't come back! My brother is dead, what's the use of coming back?!"

Xue Bai didn't explain either and let her vent. Finally, he hugged her hard again, kissed her forehead and comforted her softly, letting her cry loudly.

"Uuuu...you still want to come back...you are finally willing to come back..."

~~

"Xue Bai is back? So soon?"

Yang Guozhong had been sending people to keep an eye on Mrs. Guo's house, so he got the news immediately.

When he learned that Xue Bai went directly to Da Ci'en Temple to see Yang Yuyao, a look of worry appeared on his face.

Yang Guanghui also arrived. When he heard the news, he rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle Guo, I think Xue Bai didn't rush back just because of the dispute between Li and Wang. Otherwise, he would have come back long ago. He just rushed back suddenly at this time of year.

I'm afraid I just want to compete with my uncle."

"Of course I know." Yang Guozhong looked proud and said, "What I'm thinking about is how I should face him."

"My uncle manages the internal funds and has the trust of the saints. Why should he be afraid of Xue Bai?"

Yang Guozhong didn't believe such stupid words. He gave Yang Guanghui a faint look and told him to concentrate on making money.

To deal with Xue Bai's matter, it would be safer to discuss it with the Right Prime Minister, so Yang Guozhong went to the You Prime Minister's Mansion to see him.

Li Linfu also learned that Xue Bai was back, but his reaction was very dull.

For him, it would be fine as long as Xue Bai would not join forces with Wang Zhi. He knew that Xue Bai also knew how to measure, so he would rather ask Chen Xilie to help with the transfer. Otherwise, the appointment of a Chang'an county lieutenant would not be something that the right minister could not stop.

"What's all the fuss about? It's expected."

As soon as Yang Guozhong heard this, he realized that the positions of the two sides were not consistent.

At the moment, the conflict between him and Xue Bai is greater than that of Li Linfu.

He was also a scoundrel, and he had made up his mind that if Li Linfu didn't help him deal with Xue Bai, he would not help him deal with Wang Xie, but he said he was thinking about Li Linfu.

"I'm afraid that when Xue Bai comes back, he unites Chen Xilie and Wang Xian, and he clings to An Lushan. If he colludes with Wang Zhongsi again, who has the support of Guo Guo's wife and Yang Guifei, it will be detrimental to the right prime minister."

Li Linfu sneered slightly, looking down on Yang Guozhong more and more.

"Instead of staring at Chen Xilie, it is better to look at the saint's attitude towards Xue Bai. If the saint doesn't like him, the closer he is to Chang'an, the closer he is to death."

"What does this mean?"

Li Linfu waved his hand and motioned Yang Guozhong to lean down.

This action reminded Yang Guozhong of the scene when he was a spitting pot. He was a little reluctant, but he couldn't help but be curious.

"The truth is that Xue Bai and the imperial concubine are too close..."

Yang Guozhong was stunned and opened his mouth to refute, but after a moment he realized that this was really possible and murmured: "It seems that the saint doesn't like Xue Bai. No wonder he refused to come back before."

With this sentence, many things suddenly became clear.

Thinking about it more carefully, Yang Guozhong gradually had an idea in his mind about how to deal with Xue Bai.

However, not long after, Cang Bi hurried over and said: "Alang, this is a message from the sage."

"Please."

Soon, a eunuch arrived at the Youxiang Mansion and stood in front of Li Linfu.

"The sage issued a decree, the Duke of Jin, the Prime Minister on the right, and Shangshu Zuopu shot Li Linfu to receive the order... Haha, Xue has returned to the capital after playing cards, and there must be many interesting things. There will be a banquet at Huaqelou tomorrow night, Shiro, come with us."

"My lord, I obey the order."

Li Linfu was a little confused when he received the sage's oral instructions, thinking that he might have guessed wrong.

However, when he thought about the name "Xue Bai", he soon understood that Xue Bai had been away from Beijing for a year, which was enough for the saint to eliminate his doubts and grudges.

What's more, the fragrance is far away and the smell is close. Now that he is fighting fiercely with Wang Zhi, how can he compare with Xue who just came back and play cards to please the saint?

Can a saint hold a grudge against a young man for a year? At least for the time being, it probably won't.

From this point of view, Xue Baiyuan is still on the right track after a year of walking.
