In the early spring of March, warblers fly and grass grows, and the south of the Yangtze River has been prosperous since ancient times. The monarchs of both generations were fond of poetry, and the literary style of the Southern Tang Dynasty was at its peak. Literati in twos and threes can be seen everywhere, traveling together, and many of them are women.

"drive……"

At the end of the official road, a tall maroon horse galloped over under the urging. The rider on the horse was dressed in a warrior uniform. Although he was dusty, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he did not show any signs of fatigue. The man was carrying a long bow and a sword hanging at his waist.

, he was incompatible with the scholars dressed as literati, but he had a certain momentum of his own, and for a moment everyone stopped to look at him.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, horses were in short supply. The tall horse that the man in front of me was riding must be a good horse from the Western Regions, and it was hard to find it for a lot of money.

"ah……"

Frightened by the tall horse, a small pony turned around and ran wildly. The young woman on its back was so frightened that she grabbed the reins tightly and shouted loudly.

As the tall horse approached, the foal became more and more impatient. The young woman on its back finally couldn't hold on anymore and was about to be thrown off the horse.

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. If he was thrown on the official road, the injuries to his muscles and bones would be considered minor.

The big maroon horse jumped sharply, and the knight on the horse bent down and reached out to hug the young woman. The young woman who was about to fall to the ground was placed on the horse's back in an instant. Everyone saw it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xu~"

"Sun Yu, a young student, was eager to return home and disturbed the girl's favorite horse, which almost caused a big mistake. I hope you will forgive me." After saying this, Sun Yu stretched out his hand to help the young woman dismount.

"It's all my fault that I'm not good at riding. Fortunately, I saved you..." One moment, the world was spinning, and the next moment she was lying in the arms of the man in front of her. The little girl was still a little dazed at this time, so she obediently stretched out her hand and used her strength to dismount.

"Don't be so rude, you little thief. How dare you treat my sister lightly? Do you think I, Old Cheng, are going to do you any harm?" A tall man led the frightened foal towards this side. Seeing the situation in front of him, he immediately threw away the reins.

, running wildly this way. The vibrations coming from the ground clearly told Sun Yu that this was a giant humanoid beast.

"Brother, stop, don't be rude." Seeing her brother going into a rage, the little girl came back to her senses and hurriedly shouted to stop, but it was too late. She could only hope that Mr. Sun in front of her could escape immediately.

Although the person in front of him was much stronger than him, Sun Yu was not afraid. He immediately took half a step back with his right foot and punched to block.

There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the two

The fists struck each other, and a huge force came. Sun Yu took two steps back to release his strength. The humanoid beast was also shocked and stopped.

"Brother, what are you doing? The horse was frightened just now. Thanks to Mr. Sun for rescuing it, why are you like this?" Seeing that the two of them were going to continue, the little girl quickly dismounted and stood between them.

"It's my responsibility that the horse was frightened. These are all things Sun should do." It was expected that he would not continue fighting, so Sun Yu also put down his posture.

"You're a good boy. You were able to block my Lao Cheng's punch. That's not bad. How about I treat you to a drink today to make amends?" Knowing that he had hit the wrong person, Lao Cheng was a little embarrassed and immediately extended the invitation. Don't look at Lao Cheng's mouth.

It sounds easy, as if he has a huge advantage, but if he really gives it a go, Lao Cheng feels guilty. He just punched at a flying speed, and this kid doesn't look like a fierce man, but he actually stood there and just punched him.

To be able to take one's own punch without getting hurt is like a freak.

"Brother Cheng, you're welcome. I haven't returned home for many years. I'm afraid I won't be able to take time off recently. I'll be hosting some guests someday. I wonder what Brother Cheng's name is? Where does he live?" I have been away from home for many years and am not very familiar with this place.

Sun Yu also started to want to make friends with people.

"My name is Cheng Zhenbei, and this is my roommate Xiaoya. We live in Cheng Mansion on Osmanthus Alley. When you go there, just ask about me, Lao Cheng, and everyone will know me." Since the other party inquired so carefully, it was obvious that he was sincerely inviting me.

Lao Cheng was naturally happy, but his displeasure at being rejected had long since disappeared.

"Brother, why are you talking nonsense?" Xiaoya was irritated for a while. Although the atmosphere was quite open at this time, how could anyone casually announce the maiden name of a girl who had not yet left the court? It was so embarrassing.

Only when Sun Yu heard the voice did he look at the woman in front of him carefully. Xiaoya was an upright young woman, a typical Jiangnan water town woman, gentle and graceful. She was completely different from her brother. She was really rare.

"Xiaoya, brother is wrong, but from now on, Mr. Sun and we will be friends, so it doesn't matter." Lao Cheng knew he had made a mistake and quickly apologized. He loved his sister very much and didn't want her to suffer any injustice.

"Sun is very homesick, so he will take a step forward and meet again another day." Sun Yu said goodbye to the Cheng brothers and sisters and got on his horse.

Approaching Fucheng, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, so Sun Yu had to ride slowly.

"It's been five years, and I'm finally back." Sun Yu looked at the three characters "Jiangning Mansion" on the city gate and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At that time, there were sudden changes in his family, and he also suffered from the Leaving Soul Syndrome inexplicably.

I searched many doctors but there was no cure. Fortunately, my master Qian Yuanzi passed by and he was accepted as his disciple. It took him five years to recover.

"Everything between heaven and earth is destined. You should have passed away five years ago. However, you were destined to me, so I had no choice but to save you. Now that our fate has ended, I have to go away to avoid disaster. You

No one can see the way back clearly, so leave." These were the parting words of Master Qian Yuanzi. Since then, Sun Yu has never seen Master again. He stayed in the thatched cottage for half a month, and then left in the thatched cottage.

After kowtowing three times, he took Li Huo, his only playmate in these years, and left the thatched cottage. Just after walking a hundred steps, the thatched cottage burst into flames and disappeared in an instant...

Sun Yu calmed down, dismounted and led Li Huo towards the city gate. As the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was heavily guarded, with dozens of elite soldiers checking passers-by one by one. Sun Yu didn't need to queue up, and went straight forward to find the leader-looking person.

, handed over the waist badge.

"I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. I don't know the young master. Who is the Duke of Lu State?" The leader took the waist badge and looked at it again and again. On the front, there were three characters of Sikong Palace engraved on it. He confirmed that it was genuine and he did not dare to neglect it.

Ask quickly and respectfully.

"My father is the late Lu Guogong. I have been away from home for many years, so you don't know me." Sun Yu put away his badge and replied. Before his death, his father Sun Sheng served as Sikong of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

, on the way back, I already knew about the fact that I was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Lu.

"It turns out it was the young master who offended me in person." When the leader heard this, he realized that this was a top dignitary, and he became more respectful.

"If you don't get out of the way, please let me in." Lu Guogong had an only son who had been away from home for many years. The guard captain was well-informed in Jiangning, so he knew it. He immediately ordered the soldiers to clear the roadblocks and let Sun Yu enter the city.

"Hey, boss, didn't you say that Duke Lu's only son is a fool?" When Sun Yu walked away, a guard came up and asked in a low voice.

"You are the fool, keep your mouth shut. My young father-in-law was famous for his intelligence back then, but something happened in his family and he suffered from soul-leaving syndrome. Looking at him now, he must be in great condition. Lu

There is someone who will succeed the Duke." This ignorant person doesn't keep his mouth shut. If someone listens to it and spreads it to the ears of the young prince, something may happen.

Because Jinling was restored to the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jiangning Mansion was a bit more prosperous than before. Sun Yu walked towards the mansion along the route in his memory. I wonder what the scene is like at home now? As he gets closer to home, the feeling of being near hometown becomes more and more timid.
