The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 133 Sending Su Xi Away

After so many days of unremitting efforts, they finally succeeded in signing a friendly treaty with the State of Chu, which made everyone feel extremely happy. However, before everyone could catch their breath, an astonishing news came: the two countries were about to get married! This sudden change made Su Lun and others feel very surprised and shocked.

Even so, without clear instructions from Master Chen Xuan, they did not dare to take action easily. So, they still hid in the dark, silently observing the development of the situation. At this moment, their most important task was to ensure that Master Chen Xuan could return home safely.

However, the team on this return trip had the Second Prince, Princess Qianying, and a group of guards added to the team. Therefore, many of the previous arrangements were no longer applicable. However, they did not dare to relax at all, because they had to be vigilant against sabotage by those with ulterior motives.

At this time, Master Chen Xuan and Yuan Weijing were sitting opposite each other in the inn. Master Chen Xuan was dressed in white and looked elegant, while Yuan Weijing was dressed in black and looked calm.

"Brother Chenxuan, thanks to your help this time. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Yuan family to return to the capital. Here's a toast to you!" Yuan Weijing looked at Master Chenxuan gratefully, raised the glass in his hand and drank it all.

Young Master Chenxuan smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and took a few sips: "Brother Weijing, you are too polite. It's just that we both get what we need. No need to thank me." His eyes were deep and mysterious, as if they contained endless wisdom.

Yuan Weijing paused and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he said, "Come to think of it, ever since I used the Ningxinxiang given to me by Brother Chenxuan, I haven't had this headache problem anymore, and I can sleep well every night." A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Master Chen Xuan raised his lips slightly, and replied calmly, "As long as it's useful. I still have some Ning Xinxiang here, and I'll have someone send it to Brother Wei Jing's house later."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Weijing's eyes, and he hurriedly thanked him: "I am grateful for your kindness, Brother Chenxuan, let me toast you another glass." He raised the glass high and shouted in a loud voice.

"Bang." The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, as if telling of the deep friendship between the two people.

"Brother Chenxuan, I haven't congratulated you on winning the beauty yet!" Yuan Weijing changed the subject and joked.

Upon hearing this, Master Chen Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He gently shook his head and said, "This matter has not yet been concluded. It is too early to say anything now."

Yuan Weijing was a little surprised and looked at Master Chen Xuan in confusion: "Could there be another unexpected event?"

Master Chen Xuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "It's just that this matter concerns the princess's reputation. It's better not to talk about it lightly before the dust settles."

Yuan Weijing nodded, indicating that he understood what the other party meant. At the same time, he showed an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry for being rude. I'll give you a glass of wine as a penalty." After that, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Master Chen Xuan smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in front of him, gestured to Yuan Weijing, and also drank the wine in the glass.

As the wine went down their throats, the two became more cheerful. They continued to speak freely, discussing world affairs and sharing their insights and feelings. Master Chenxuan had a unique view on current affairs, and Yuan Weijing was also a knowledgeable person. The two had a deeper conversation, as if they had found a soulmate. The topic continued to expand, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

It was not until night fell and both of them were a little tipsy that Yuan Weijing got up to say goodbye.

After seeing off Yuan Weijing, Master Chenxuan walked back to the room steadily, sat down calmly, and had a clear look in his eyes, without any sign of drunkenness. Seeing this, Mo Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his master's alcohol tolerance was really unfathomable! He walked forward, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Master Chenxuan, and asked softly, "Sir, have you really agreed to the marriage?"

Young Master Chen Xuan took the teacup, took a sip, and said with an unclear expression: "Mo Yan, this matter concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It should be reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty should make the decision. Don't mention this matter again in the future, understand?" His voice was low and firm, and there was no room for doubt.

Mo Yan's heart trembled, and he quickly replied, "Yes, I understand." He knew that his master had always been a long-term thinker, and since he made such a decision, there must be a deep meaning behind it. However, he was still a little curious about Princess Qianying.

Master Chenxuan put down his teacup and sighed softly. Princess Qianying is indeed an outstanding woman, whether in appearance, talent or temperament. But if the King of Chu has some other thoughts... Thinking of this, Master Chenxuan's eyes flashed, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, by the way, let Qi Heng inform Su Lun and Gu Bei to get ready. We will set off for home the day after tomorrow. Let them hide in the dark and protect us secretly, and beware of assassins! Let someone escort the child that Su Lun brought to Qingzhou tomorrow, and Lord Gu will send someone to pick him up."

"Yes." Mo Yan didn't dare to delay. He agreed and did it immediately.

After receiving Master Chen Xuan's order, Su Lun came to Su Xi's room. Looking at the well-behaved child in front of him, he took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Xiao Xi, I have something to tell you. You must promise your brother first that you are not allowed to cry, understand?"

Hearing Su Lun's words, Su Xi became a little nervous. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, with a trace of uneasiness in her eyes: "Brother Su, did something happen?"

Su Lun sighed softly, touched the top of Su Xi's head, and said gently: "I will go home in a few days, but I still have some things to do here, so it is not convenient to take you with me. But don't worry, tomorrow morning, there will be reliable people to pick you up and take you to a safe place. You can follow them to Qingzhou first, okay?"

Su Xi blinked, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still tried to hold back her tears. He nodded and whispered, "Okay, Brother Su, I'll listen to you. But... when can I see you again?"

Su Lun felt sad, and he hugged Su Xi into his arms and comforted her: "I will come to find you when I finish my work. We will see each other soon, don't worry."

Su Xi leaned in Su Lun's arms, feeling his warmth, and finally couldn't help crying. But he still nodded sensibly and said, "Okay, I will be obedient. Then you must come to pick me up."

Su Lun gently patted Su Xi's back and said, "Don't worry, I will pick you up when I return to Qingzhou."

The next morning, Shopkeeper Tang knocked on the door of Yang's house. He brought two people over and said, "Mr. Su, the master has already made arrangements. Let these two escort Mr. Su to set off first."

"Thank you, Manager Tang. I'll leave you two brothers in charge." Su Lun bowed solemnly.

Su Xi reluctantly got on the carriage, and before leaving, she turned back and shouted, "Brother Su, you must come pick me up!"

Su Lun felt a pang in his heart, "Don't worry, I will!"

After they left, Su Lun returned to the courtyard to start training and prepare some small hidden weapons. Since Master Chen Xuan ordered this, it means that the return journey may be dangerous! I have to make more preparations.
