Chapter 91 Return to Chang'an
It was sweltering summer when we left Chang'an, and it was already autumn when we returned to the city.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside Zhang Ran's study ripened early, and now it had spit out sporadic yellow stamens, carrying a faint fragrance.
Zhou Zhao leaned against the window, nibbling the fruit in his hand, "Master Zhang, you have circled Su Changying thirty-nine times."
Zhang Ran turned around for the fortieth time without hearing anything, his eyes glaring like bells. He suddenly pulled off three of his beards and jumped in pain.
"It's really Nephew Su Xian! My life is at stake! Tomorrow, Marquis Lu will kill the little old man with a stick!"
"That day, I followed the book to recruit troops. When I saw that Qian Mian could disguise himself and had excellent martial arts skills, I directly ordered him to go to Tianying City. When he came that day, he was wearing a mask on his face, and I did not lift it. It seems that the daily training of the camp is done by one person.”
Zhang Ran thought and threw away the beard in his hand regretfully.
Zhou Zhao threw away the core of the fruit and looked at Zhang Ran coldly, "Your Excellency is really powerful. He trained me carefully and found someone to do the work for me. Potian Yingcheng even tricked the juniors into working for me. No one from the official department would say a word of praise when I met Your Majesty." Know people and make good use of them.”
Zhang Ran said with a bitter look on his face, "Nephew Zhou Xian, I am your boss after all, and I have given you the opportunity to make great achievements. Why do you have to ridicule me?"
"Besides, who in the entire city of Chang'an doesn't know that I relied on Your Majesty to become what I am today, and I am an idle official in Yinfeng."
Zhou Zhao was dumbfounded. Sure enough, once a person is shameless, he will be invincible.
She thought about it, took out the three blood-red tortoise shells from her arms, and threw them directly towards Zhang Ran, "The Book of Six Paths you want."
She had already discussed the specific matters in Tianying City with Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran broke out in a cold sweat when he saw three red lights flying towards him. He hurriedly grabbed them, and finally pulled up the hem of his clothes, and just then he pocketed the three tortoise shells.
"Little Ancestor, this is the Book of Six Paths. If it is smashed, your Majesty will cut off my head and play it as a ball without waiting for Marquis Lu to come."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three tortoise shells. They were all dark red and looked like blood-soaked jade taken out of a coffin. It looked ominous no matter how you looked at it.
He carefully picked up the three tortoise shells, put them into a black and gold-lacquered box that had been prepared, and then locked them up.
"I hope that God knows that you know that I know about the "Six Paths of Heavenly Book". After leaving this study, the two nephews will not mention it again."
Zhang Ran said, stroking his beard and looking at Su Changying with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.
"Now that my nephew has proven his integrity, it is not good for me to work under me in the future, otherwise others will not accuse me of being dim-sighted and using ginseng as firewood. Your Majesty means that you will go to the Northern Army in the future. The specific details will wait for you. You will know when you return to Luhou Mansion.”
Su Changying was speechless and saluted Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't blame him. When he looked at Zhou Zhao, his eyes became much more relaxed!
"Good nephew! You like to eat that fruit, so you will ask someone to dig up the tree and take it back! Thanks to your great blessing, I can feel proud in front of Your Majesty!"
Zhou Zhao looked at Zhang Ran with his beard raised to the sky, and waved his hand speechlessly, "dig two!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Su Changying's sleeve. In a flash, the two of them were already outside the walls of Zhang Mansion.
The two looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"We purposely separated from Chang Zuoping along the way. I also purposely waited for three days in Tianying City until it became an isolated city. I deliberately showed flaws along the way, but it was calm and I didn't encounter any assassins. This is very strange. Unusual.”
Zhou Zhao and Su Changying walked side by side, lowering their voices. That is the Heavenly Book of Six Paths! Who among the powerful and statused people in this world doesn’t want to seek immortality?
The person who could kill Princess Changyang and Zhou Yan and erase Su Changying's memory was definitely not an ordinary person. Su Changying came to Zhang Ran as a spy and was sent to Tianying City. If this was a coincidence, it would be fine. If it was not a coincidence, it means that the person probably had two purposes.
One is Tianying City. What is there in Tianying City? Of course it's the "Book of Six Paths", it can't be that bad old man Qin Tianying.
The second is to let Su Changying pass through Tianying City, return to Chang'an, and become Xiaolu Marquis again. At this time, the person will come out to contact him again and tell him his purpose.
Su Changying nodded expressionlessly, "This thing should be fake. Only Zhang Ran doesn't know."
The back alley is not long, and as soon as you walk through it, you will find a lively market. The smell of human fireworks that hits your face makes Zhou Zhao finally feel like he is alive.
She indeed broke the death notice in the "Book of Death of Wife" and came back from Tianying City alive.
She was thinking, and something suddenly occurred to her.
If she died in Tianying City, how could Su Changying have the nerve to call her his deceased wife? The two of them had not gone to the church to get married. Could it be that this guy would dare to come here and have a secret marriage with her? Or do you lick your face and consider yourself your husband?
As she thought this way, she glanced at Su Changying with particularly complicated eyes.
Su Changying noticed her gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In fact, the look in his eyes was a bit like a gleam on his back. Zhou Zhao looked at him as if he was looking at some shameless person.
"Nothing! I'll accompany you back to Su's house. There's something I haven't had time to tell you. Last year, your father came to visit and wanted to dissolve our engagement, but I didn't agree. Same thing. Last year.”
Zhou Zhao said, then paused, "Your father has asked Su Changyu to be the heir apparent to the Marquis of Lu."
Su Changying's mother died young, and his father, Marquis Lu, married another wife, Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu gave birth to a son and a daughter, Su Changyu and Su Ling.
In the past, when Su Changying was here, he had outstanding martial arts skills and won the trust of His Majesty. It would only take time for him to surpass his father's military achievements. At that time, he was the undisputed heir apparent of the Marquis of Lu. But he has been missing for so many years and has long since changed.
Now the Xiao Luhou in the capital is not Su Changying, but Su Changyu.
Su Changying's heart tightened and she shook her head at Zhou Zhao.
He didn't care whether Xiao Luhou or not, but what he cared about was that he almost broke off the engagement with Zhou Zhao. It was no wonder that the man surnamed Zhao proposed marriage to Zhou Zhao.
"I didn't tell you before, because I thought that with Su Changying, if you want it, you can easily get it back. If you don't want it, you can earn another title to become a marquis and prime minister," Zhou Zhao said, looking out of the corner of his eye. Passing Su Changying's slightly clenched fist.
She blinked at Su Changying, "After all, you are the number one master in the inner city and the number one craftsman in Daqi Dynasty."
Even after losing his memory, Su Changying is still Zhang Ran's most powerful craftsman and the number one expert in Tianying City.
People like him are the strongest no matter where they go.
Of course not in Tingwei Temple, because she must be the strongest.
Su Changying looked at the trust in Zhou Zhao's eyes, and the feeling of shyness immediately retreated. He gently released his hand and nodded to Zhou Zhao.
"See you at Tingwei Temple, Mr. Xiao Zhou."
