After saying goodbye to Jiufan Order, Xie Yu wanted to return to Gongshu Mansion, but it was already night. Ju Yunbo said that the curfew had been put in, so Xie Yu would stay in Jiufan Suan for the night today.

Xie Yu politely declined the official of Luoyi's acting security. He had to rush Gongshu Mansion as soon as possible, and then inform Gongshu and his wife about all the situation at this time... Gongshu Mujiu will not be in danger for the time being.

Ju Yunbo agreed and sent two Anwugu to go back with Xie Yu, one for safety reasons, the other for Xie Yu would not be blocked by the patrolling night guards, and the third was the rule.

Ju Yunbo did not send Wang Yun to follow him because Wang Yun still had to report on his work... and accepted the next action arrangement... The most important thing is that he was a robber, so he would not act as a guard... Although he was the role of a guard on the way back... This is a joke.

Xie Yu walked on the streets of Luoyi, deserted and deserted, and only two or three night guards were lit with lanterns to patrol.

Luoyi is not as prosperous as before.

In the past, when night falls quietly, the lights inside and outside are still bright. The breeze will blow slowly from the west to the south, and the banners in front of the doors of the major restaurants will flip back and forth according to the rhythm of the wind... In the cool season, the fog and rain will gently sprinkle, and the carved ancient railings will be covered with layers of wet... like the best sheep paste just cooked. Even at night, there are still people coming and going on the streets, and they are still laughing and noisy. Even in the cold night, it cannot stop the heat in people's hearts. The hawking sounds will not stop when it is late, and they will rise and fall one after another. The stalls along the street in the east city will be surrounded by people, and the boats will also be on the upper reaches of the lake. Two or three talented men recite poems and write pairs, which will make the female companions in the boat laugh and shiny.

The upstream of the Luo River will float down a string of river lanterns, like stars in the sky... and there will be a beautiful woman independent from the bridge, waiting for her beloved to come to the appointment.

Xie Yu sighed in his heart, and inexplicably felt a little sadness.

...

When he arrived at the gate of Gongshu Mansion, Xie Yu bowed to bid farewell to the two Anwu guards who were escorting him. Then he stood up high, tightened the Qingjin plain jacket, whose body was already dirty and messy, tightened the belt with the long sword, and then reached out to wipe it around his waist... There was nothing, he smiled silently. The two sets of white jade he often wore were already lost the day he went to the Luming Pavilion.

Xie Yu shook his head, stepped forward, and knocked on the door of the mansion.

Although it is already the hour of Hai, Xie Yu speculated that Gongshu master had already received news from Jiusansi that he had returned.

Sure enough, as soon as he knocked on the door, a servant immediately shouted inside the door.

"But Xie Shizi is back?"

"It's me."

Xie Yu responded.

A creaking sound came from behind the door, and it was the servant who was lifting the door post.

"Xie Shizi, you're back." As soon as the door opened a small crack, the fat face of Xie Yu, who was in charge of the mansion, appeared in Xie Yu's eyes, familiar and 'impressed'. "Hurry, come in."

When the door was completely opened, the manager stepped forward directly across the threshold of the mansion gate, bent down and made a gesture to let Xie Yu enter.

Xie Yu was speechless, nodded and stepped into the mansion.

"Are you waiting for me in the inner hall?" Xie Yu asked.

"Yes." The manager nodded.

"Okay." Xie Yu nodded and walked straight to the inner hall.

The manager hurriedly trotted a few steps to keep up with Xie Yu's pace.

...

"Xie Shizi, you are not here these days, the master and the wife are worried about you and the young master..." The manager walked beside Xie Yu, a little slower than him. "Look at you, you have lost all your bones, and you have suffered a lot outside, right?"

"Yes." Xie Yu nodded.

"Hey, it's such a sin. Those bandits are really a murderer... they have no eye core for giving birth!" When the manager heard Xie Yu's answer, he began to criticize the Qingtian bandits on the spot. "Look, your clothes are so dirty... these shoes are full of mud! It really makes you suffer... Hey, your jade?"

"Lost."

"Lost?" The manager spoke in surprise. "That's the priceless white-fat jade! Those little thieves are really not things!"

"Yes." Xie Yu nodded. "You can say anything if you have anything."

Xie Yu pointed out the purpose of the matter and asked directly.

The manager scratched his head, smirked, and asked, "I just want to ask... Is the young master still safe?"

When the manager said this, Xie Yu could hear that he was asking with great concern... his heart was uneasy and trembling.

"Safe, he is very safe." Xie Yu nodded fiercely. "If he is not safe, I wouldn't have returned to Luoyi... I probably have tried my best to avenge him."

"That's good, that's good." The manager patted his chest and muttered in his mouth, as if a stone fell to the ground in his heart. His nervous nerves felt much better.

"Xie Shizi..."

"Um."

The manager wanted to talk again, but felt that Xie Yu didn't really want to pay attention to him, so he shut his mouth honestly.

The two of them came all the way to the outer hall, and the manager called Xie Yu.

"Xie Shizi, why don't you take a shower first? The hot water is ready and the clothes you change are there."

"No." Xie Yu shook his head. "Uncle and aunt are still waiting for me, I have to tell them the details as soon as possible."

"But..." The manager spoke, his eyes a little embarrassed.

"No, thank you for your kindness." Xie Yu shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.

"It was the master and his wife who said that after you come back, you must take a shower first and change your clothes comfortably before you can be considered home... You have been outside for so many days, and we have heard about the situation of a life-and-death situation... You are such a hero." The manager stopped Xie Yu again and said.

"Home..." Xie Yu turned around, a little dazed. "Did uncle and aunt say that?"

"Yes, the master and the wife are worried about you." The manager said.

"Yes." Xie Yu nodded, and did not walk forward, but took off his clothes and handed them to the manager in front of him. "It is indeed a bit rude to meet the elders with an unpretentious appearance. I am not considerate... Manager Li, please inform me of my uncle and aunt, and I will go to the inner hall afterwards."

"Okay, I'll report now!" The manager seemed a little happy when he heard this, so he took Xie Yu's clothes away... But after a while, he turned back, summoned a servant, and gave him Xie Yu's clothes, and ordered: "Take Xie Shizi to wash, and then wash the clothes."

The servant nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Then the manager took big strides, and his fat body dragged his long gown in the corridor, twisting and twisting, making Xie Yu feel a little amused.

He shook his head.
