It took more than half a month to go up the Yangtze River and finally arrived in Jiangling. As the prefecture of Jingzhou, Jiangling has always been very well-known. Of course, what makes it famous for thousands of years is Li Bai's words, "I left Bai Emperor in the morning among the colorful clouds, and returned thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day."

Jiangling is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, the Bashu River in the west, and the Jiangyue in the south. It has always been a place that military strategists must compete for. When entering the city, they have inspected and searched for their bodies and were ten times more stringent than elsewhere. The soldiers guarding the city had a firm look and exuded unspeakable courage. They should have been to the battlefield to kill people.

Zong Yu presented the sign of the Linchuan Prince's Mansion. The guards did not dare to neglect them and immediately reported them to the city gate official. Then the city gate official arranged a special person to escort them and sent them directly to the palace.

King An Xiuruo of Jiangxia was also the governor of Jingzhou, and he was in charge of the Yi and the three departments. He had his own staff in the mansion, just like a small court. The house covers a vast area, and is more grand than the Linchuan Palace. It has a martial arts field and a training lake. There are dozens of arrow pavilions around him, and there is a luxury. Xu You was led to the courtyard in the middle by the armoured armour and saw Yan Wan, who was more like a butcher than a butcher. There are always rumors that there are exaggerations. Although Yan Wan is not a handsome man, she is definitely not a market butcher with a flesh-faced face. A person's temperament is innate and acquired. Yan Wan has both. Although she is vulgar, her eyes are sharp and her expression is smooth, and she is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Your Highness Sixth Prince sent you here, can you have letters?"

This tone exudes arrogance of condescending arrogance, and he doesn't take Xu You seriously. It means that you give me the letter and I will pass it on for you, and then you can return to Linchuan to report your life.

"There is indeed a letter that I have sent to the Third Highness, but the Sixth Highness's original words are to be presented to me in person, so please join the army and be merciful..."

Yan Wan interrupted him impatiently and said, "The Third Highness is busy with military affairs and has no time to see you. Just send me a letter! If it is for the sake of reward, I will take the initiative to reward you with eight Shu brocades. You should be content!"

Xu You had the awareness of spitting on his face, and smiled at the corner of his lips, saying, "I'm not here to seek reward..."

Yan Wan's face darkened and she said, "Come here, see off the guests!"

Before Xu You got angry, Zuo Qiu Sijin couldn't help it and said angrily: "We came from Jiangzhou to discuss things. If we join the army without asking about the relationship, we would be too domineering and too unkind. In the future, we would be told to the third prince that you are distracted from your brothers, and I'm afraid that joining the army will not be able to get benefits!"

Xu You knew that today's meeting was over, and it was meaningless to stay any longer, and it would make the situation even more out of control. He shook his head at Zuo Qiu Sijin, then apologized to Yan Wan with a pale face, and hurriedly left the royal palace.

After being blown by the cold winter wind, Zuo Qiu Sijin woke up much more, and she suddenly became angry for some reason. According to her experience, she would not be so uneasy. Yan Wan clearly made things difficult for everyone. The more she was like this, the more careful she had to deal with it. Now she was so happy, but she completely offended him and missed a big deal. How should she explain to Brother Linchuan?

"I... it's all my fault. Please punish me!"

Xu You smiled and said, "Yan Shenjun was arrogant. I wish I could punch him in the forehead. Why are you venting your anger for me?"

Zuo Qiu Sijin lowered his head and kept silent, thinking that you had to beat someone with just your body, and it would be better if you didn't get beaten. However, he was feeling a little strange in his heart when he defended himself like this.

Qingming asked, "Langjun, what should I do next?"

"First, we need to find out why Yan Wan refused to meet with King Jiang Xia, but don't worry, find a place to stay and find out the news slowly!"

Jiangling City is located in the important place in the Yangtze River Basin, and there are many travelers in the city. Xu You and others casually found a clean and tidy shop to stay in. They whispered a few instructions to Qingming, and Qingming changed his clothes and left quietly. After seeing this, Zuo Qiu Sijin felt doubtful, knocked on Xu You's door and asked, "Where is Qingming?"

"He went to meet a few friends, you go back to your room to rest, and we will go downstairs to have something to eat together!"

Zuo Qiu Sijin immediately understood that Xu You had a secret line in Jiangling City, so she continued to ask Qingming who to contact her, but walked in and said, "Qingming is not here, and there is no one to protect her."

Xu You can't say that there is no problem with me hitting you dozens of people like this, let alone that men and women don't get married. If you go to Zong Yu, you will be too deliberate and fall into a bad mood. He smiled and said, "Okay, please trouble girls!"

As he said that, he naturally untied his belt, took off his thick and wide robe, revealing his slender and upright figure. Although he was wrapped in a white robe, he still couldn't hide the masculine lines full of vitality. It was not the simple and sturdy nature of Kong Wu, but it seemed as if he was standing on the top of a mountain, looking at the great beauty of the world flowing eastward in the river. It was extremely mysterious and could not be described in words.

Women look at men, but they are no different from men look at women!

Zuo Qiu Sijin turned his head away and thought to himself that Xu You, who looked weak, gave people the feeling that he was not inferior to those who practice martial arts at all.

There was a hot water prepared by the waiter in the room. Xu You cleaned his hands and face. Just as he was about to turn around and get a towel and hand it over, Zuo Qiu Sijin stood behind him and handed it over. She hesitated for a while, a little shyness flashed through her eyes. She didn't dare to look at Xu You, and said, "I have thick hands and feet. If my husband doesn't abandon me, I... come to serve my husband to change his clothes..."

She was not from a famous family, but she was also an absolute lady. Since her father's death, her family was lost. However, An Xiulin immediately considered her sister to be a virtuous girl. The food, clothing and expenses were all in accordance with the custom of the princess. She probably never did a job serving others.

Xu You took the towel and thanked him, and wiped his face and said, "I dare not bother the girl. Actually, when I was in Qiantang, I never had a maid. Washing and changing clothes is just a trivial matter, and no need for others to serve me. Girls can treat me as a companion who walks around the world. They fall asleep when they are tired and fall asleep when they are thirsty, and there is not so much attention!"

This is a bit pretentious. Xu You has the autumnal equinox, frost, and Yu Tu takes care of his daily life. Although it is not like the children of the aristocratic families who have completely put their hands on food and mouths, the maids around him are all extravagant in double figures, but occasionally they will serve to change clothes. After all, the clothes of this era are really difficult to wear, and it is not what he said that he has never had maids.

This is just to avoid Zuo Qiu Sijin's embarrassment. When he saw Qingming was away, he kindly came to help. Xu You would not think of something wrong, nor would he use it to make trouble for himself.

Zuo Qiu Sijin smiled and stepped aside without saying anything. She had seen too many children from aristocratic families with her father and the King of Linchuan. Because of this, the maverick Xu You was refreshing.

Qingming hasn't been out for too long. Xu You and the other two had just had dinner and had not yet gone upstairs, and he appeared in the straits and walked over to Xu You and said with his ears. "Guo Mian is far away from the decision-making level of King Jiangxia, and his mansion is now in the west of the city..."

Xu You nodded, looked at Shichen, and called the waiter to serve Qingming with famous local delicacies, especially Jiangling Fish Cake. Listening to the clear voice of the little girl singing in the hall, she sat leisurely until the sunset was setting, and told Zuo Qiu Sijin and Zongyu to rest on the verge and go out with Qingming.

The Guo Mansion is only three times in size, with simple furnishings, which is completely different from the swaggers in Qiantang. After Xu You announced his name, Guo Mian soon came out. After not seeing each other for so many years, the status of the two has undergone earth-shaking changes. Guo Mian is no longer the spokesperson of the King of Jiangxia, and Xu You is no longer a scammer who is scattered. His fate often makes jokes, although this joke is not so funny.

"Qiro!"

"Mr. Guo!"

Guo Mian has grown a lot older. More than two months ago, he saw that the situation was not good, so he retreated from Jinling in advance. From a strategic perspective, King Jiangxia was able to stay out of the matter. No matter who wins or loses, King Jiangxia could attack and retreat or defend, giving him enough room to move forward; from a tactical perspective, he preserved the vitality, and did not let the intelligence network he had created so hard to trap in the desperate situation in Jinling that swallowed all, saving costs and time for future development.

No matter from any perspective, Guo Mian should have made merits and no demerits, but how can things in the world be that simple? The opponents of the Jiangxia Prince's Mansion seized the opportunity and led by Yan Wan, criticized him for being greedy for life and fearing death, did not discover the hidden strength of the prince, did not stop the incident in Jinling, and even blamed him for not saving the old emperor - this is really a crime!

The situation at that time was powerless even the gods were helpless, not to mention that Guo Mian was just the head of intelligence and had no soldiers in his hands. What should he use to save the emperor?

Yan Wan understood this truth, but his grudges and grudges with Guo Mian lasted for too many years. After finally seizing the opportunity, how could he let him pass easily? He mobilized his subordinates day and night to whisper the soul to King Jiangxia. At first, King Jiangxia laughed at it, but after An Xiuming ascended the throne, he seemed to have slowly settled down in the throne, and his mentality changed completely. He also felt that Guo Mian had dereliction of duty and ordered that all positions be deprived, and he only gave him 100,000 yuan to an ordinary house in the west of the city, allowing him to fend for himself.

This is just the love network between Jiangxia and the master and servant for many years. According to Yan Wan's wishes, at least he had to throw Guo Mian into prison and torture him hard to be relieved.

In just over ten days, Guo Mian's beard turned nearly half white, and his rich body lost more than 20 kilograms. From a distance, he looked like an old man who was about to die.

"Mr. Guo!" Xu You's eyes showed an unbearable look and said, "Even if you suffer a little aggrieved for the time being, you have to take good care of your health and don't let it go."

Since Xu You came to the door, the internal strife in the royal palace could not be hidden from him. Guo Mian smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, now I'm delicious and sleepy. I won't say anything else, it's okay to live for ten years." He looked at Xu You and said with emotion: "I first met Qilang in Mingyu Mountain. I knew this was a dragon and a phoenix among people. But I didn't expect that I had been trapped in Jiangling for a few years. I have been trapped in Jiangling for the rest of my life. You are already well-known all over the world..."
