Chapter 218 The wedding storm (1)
The rain before the wedding took two days to stop. Jiankang City was filled with the fragrance of soil after the rain, and there were gradually more people on the streets.
Today is the big day for the Linchuan Palace to hold a wedding. Many people have been waiting early on the journey to welcome the bride to have a glimpse of the world's most beautiful man.
Among these people watching the fun, there are many foreigners waiting for opportunities. The news they received was that the secret of the Resurrection Pill appeared in Jiankang. Some said it was in the Sixth Prince, and some said it was in the hands of the New Concubine. There were many different opinions, and some said it was in the hands of the Emperor Daliang.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for today to find out whose secret is in! But these ulterior motives thought that the movements and stillness in the city were in their control, and no one knew that they were already under the surveillance of others.
Today's Jiankang City is unprecedentedly grand, and the streets are also extremely lively. Although the ground has rained and many ponds are filled with wet and slippery, it still cannot stop everyone from joining in the fun.
At this time, among the noisy crowd, a thin man wearing a hat and dressed simply, shuttled through the crowd. He was about to go to the Minister of Rites' Mansion, and his bright eyes were watching the movements around him.
Similarly, among the people passing by, an "old man" in white cloth was walking in the same direction as him.
Gao Wenfan couldn't help but lower the hat on his head. He noticed that someone seemed to be following him all the time. He sneaked into the city while the heavy rain yesterday and the guard at the city gate was not strict.
Since Xiao Qingyue and the others left Suzhou, there has been no news. Under the instigation of Jiang and Lian Qiao, he came to Jiankang day and night to find out the news. When he was in Suzhou, he heard that the Sixth Prince was going to get married. When he heard this news, he was worried that Xiao Qingyue would come, and he didn't know how she and Su Xing were doing now.
The steps under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little. He wanted to get rid of the person behind him, wondering if who recognized him. He originally planned to go outside the Minister of Rites' Mansion to inquire about the situation. Xiao Nanfeng would marry someone else, which made him a little suspicious.
After turning a few alleys, the people behind him seemed not to follow him. After looking at the alley behind him, Gao Wenfan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as I relaxed a little, I found someone standing in front of me...
The "old man" who followed him all the way appeared in front of him at some point. When he was about to ask who this person was cold, the man had already spoken.
"Why don't you worry-free?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Wenfan looked at the wrinkled face and then, and said uncertainly, "Su...Su Xing?"
Su Xing replied angrily, "It's me."
After hearing this, Gao Wenfan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall on one side of the alley and exhaled in a big breath.
"I was scared. I thought who it was. I didn't expect you to be disguised. If you don't speak, I can't recognize you." As he said that, he looked at the seamless makeup that day again.
Su Xing looked at the young boy in front of him speechlessly. Xiao Qingyue had told him before, afraid that this boy would come to Jiankang to find them. Sure enough, this guy really came.
"Qingyue expected you to come early, so you came here like this, Jiang Shi and Lian Qiao!" Xiao Qingyue knew that she was worried again by leaving the two weak women in Suzhou.
"Don't worry, I'll send them to the Liu Mansion, Madam and Lian Qiao. A few days ago, I found that nearby hunters appeared at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. I was afraid that the spy was inquiring about our whereabouts, so I sent them to Qingyue's maternal mansion overnight."
Su Xing couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "If you send them to the city, if you encounter officers and soldiers searching, wouldn't it be exposed?"
"Don't worry, I've found out in advance. The governor of Suzhou is a student of Mr. Liu. He has a lot of friendship. He will notify them in advance if there is any disturbance. Besides, now there is a rumor that the secret Xin appears in Jiankang, so the emperor has no time and thought to find someone elsewhere."
Su Xing glared at the person in front of him helplessly again, "You are very analyzing. If Qingyue sees you, she won't scold you."
Gao Wenfan immediately cried out, "I'm not worried about you yet, you don't even have any news when you leave."
"Now Jiankang City is full of the emperor's spies. How can you convey messages to you? If the emperor reveals your whereabouts, not only you will be finished, but Qingyue will be finished, do you know!"
"I know, I just want to help."
"What are you doing? I just saw you when you entered the city. It was the same in Yangzhou before. Before the news was found, I was arrested first when the person arrived."
Su Xing spoke in the tone of his elder brother, Gao Wenfan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Thinking of the time he was in Yangzhou before, he was also very frustrated. He had gone to Xiaozhai Villa to find out about their news with good intentions, but was caught by the guards lurking outside the Villa in advance.
For this reason, after being released, he was scolded by this man for a long time.
"I was not lucky last time"
Seeing him defending this, Su Xing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. If it weren't for his desperate attempt to save Xiao Qingyue, he would have been lazy to care about this child who was still stinky.
"What about this time! Since I can show you, others can do it too. If I get arrested again this time, I will not be as lucky as last time." If I get discovered by the emperor, it will be fine!
"..." Gao Wenfan was completely speechless now. Although he was upset about being scolded, he was full of concern. He was now alone, without relatives and no reason, and had been with Xiao Qingyue and the others for more than a year. They seemed to have become an indispensable part of the situation. If Su Xing was the strict brother, then Xiao Qingyue was the same strict elder sister, and they were all trying to protect him.
He replied in a muffled voice, "I'm here, you're asking me to go back now." Xiao Yan did not strictly control the way into the city, but wanted to catch a turtle in a jar. Now it's easy to come in Jiankang City, but it's difficult to get out...
Su Xing is now helpless. The wedding is about to come, and all the forces in the city are about to reach the point, so he has to take him with him first.
"You will follow me today and don't run around! I'm afraid there will be a big deal in the city today, so I don't have time to take care of you."
"What do you want to do, I can help you, where is Qingyue now?"
"She is in the Minister of Rites' Mansion. I am about to go there. I'm afraid someone will come to rob his relatives today."
When Gao Wenfan heard that there was something strange about Xiao Nanfeng's wedding. Without asking more questions, he knew that the Sixth Prince was going to marry Xiao Qingyue.
Su Xing looked at his fair face and said, "You can't stay outside for a long time like this, you will be seen sooner or later." Then he looked around and saw some mud under the corner of the wall, pointing at those muds and said, "I don't have time to disguise you now, so you can use those muds to blacken your face and don't attract others' attention."
Gao Wenfan looked in the direction of his finger unhappily. Although he was reluctant, what he said was quite reasonable, so he had to paint black on his face as he said.
After packing up, the two returned to the street and followed the crowd to the Minister of Rites' Mansion, preparing to sneak into the team to see off the bride...
