Lao Sun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at dusk the curfew drum was beating in the city.
So Lao Sun immediately rushed to Chang'an City at full speed.
The captain of Chengmen also knew that this man was a scholar of Wenyuandian University, so the speed of closing the gate was also slower, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the old man to enter the city.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
The last drumbeat became more and more urgent, and Sun Guangrui knew it was too late to go home when he heard the sound.
He entered the city through Yanping Gate in the southwest of Chang'an City, but his family lived in Shengyefang in the northeast.
Because of the construction of the Daming Palace, the northeast direction has become a gathering place for dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City.
As a scholar of Wenyuandian University, Sun Guangrui was highly regarded by Li Shimin, so he naturally made his home here.
It took less than half an hour to go from Yanpingmen to Shengyefang. Now that his son was fine, the old grandson was not in such a hurry to go back.
Moreover, Lao Sun is also an upright official, and he doesn't want to take advantage of his power to go out at night, so he doesn't plan to go back tonight.
The Yanpingmen side is also considered prosperous, so I found an inn on the roadside and stayed in it.
Just as the curfew drums stopped, Lao Sun also entered an inn.
Lao Sun had a fish bag with him, and the innkeeper saw that he was an adult above rank five, and immediately gave him a warm reception.
"My lord, there is another upper room upstairs, please go slowly."
The shopkeeper greeted Sun Guangrui to go upstairs, and personally led him to the front door of a room on the second floor.
"Thank you shopkeeper, please prepare some wine and food for me, just simple." Sun Guangrui ordered.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed in agreement, and was about to go downstairs.
He saw the door to the next room open.
Sun Wukong pushed away, looked at Sun Guangrui with a smile and said, "Sir, we meet again."
……
In Monkey King's room, there are six side dishes and two jugs of sake on the table.
The two old grandchildren sat opposite each other.
Sun Wukong is a serious old grandson, he is 70 to [-] years old.
Although Sun Guangrui is nearly 50 years old, his face is only about [-] years old.
"What a coincidence in the world, just like you and I met again here in Chang'an." Sun Wukong raised his cup and smiled.
"That's right! That day I was stranded in Gongzhou because of something. I thought it would be difficult to meet the Taoist priest, but I didn't expect to meet him again in Chang'an today." Sun Guangrui also laughed.
The two of them drank a glass, both smiling.
This thing is indeed a coincidence.
The ghost gate in Chang'an City is in the Town God's Temple near the west gate. Sun Wukong sent Li Tai away that day, so he found a nearby place to stay.
Today he was practicing, but he heard Sun Guangrui's voice.
So I went out to meet each other immediately, and sure enough, the old scholar Sun also lived in this shop.
After asking, he found out that he hurried back because of Li Tai's disappearance and Sun Guo's arrest, so he missed the curfew and stayed casually.
"Your Majesty, it was a false alarm this time. I heard that King Shunyang has returned, and His Majesty has spared all related people from the crimes. Your son must have escaped calamity."
"I heard about this at the market outside the city. Alas! It's all my fault for not being strict with my children. This bastard has been causing trouble for me all day long." Sun Guangrui sighed.
Of course he knew what kind of virtue Sun had.
In order not to let him go out and cause trouble, he imposed strict restrictions on Sun Guo's daily expenses.
I hope to cut off Sun Guo's source of income and let him restrain himself.
In the end, this kid is still out of temper, wandering around in the casino today and in the brothel tomorrow, he doesn't do anything serious.
Sun Guangrui looked disappointed, and when Sun Guo was mentioned, he became listless.
Monkey King sympathetically drank a few glasses of wine with Laocheng, and tried to comfort him.
"Old Sun. In fact, you don't have to restrain your son too much. I met him once before. He is a flexible mind. If he is guided properly, he should be able to be used in the journey."
Sun Wukong was talking about that day at Pingkangfang, seeing that Sun Guo had some ability to settle accounts.
"Hey! I don't expect this bastard to do anything, I just hope he won't cause trouble for me!"
The old grandson is also a tragedy. The eldest son who is cheap has abandoned his family business and became a monk, and the younger son is an ignorant and incompetent mediocrity.
Thought he was the number one scholar, but things at home were a mess.
"That's right. The Taoist priest has seen the dog?" Sun Guangrui asked after reacting.
"Exactly. On the day the king of Shunyang lost his way, Pingdao was also in Pingkangfang." Monkey King nodded.
Lao Sun immediately cast a strange look.
"Ahem! Pindao came to Chang'an for the first time that day, and he walked near Pingkangfang just in time for the curfew, so..." Sun Wukong explained.
Sun Guangrui nodded and said nothing less.
It’s okay to go to Pingkangfang. His old man occasionally goes to collect folk songs and find inspiration for articles.
Following the topic of Pingkangfang, the two old towns chatted about wind, flowers, snow, moon, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting again.
Sun Wukong got the skill of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from Thorn Ridge, and he was promoted to Zhongcheng before, but he didn't expect it to be used to deal with Sun Guangrui at this moment.
"Well, I have time to make this piano, chess, calligraphy and painting into a big success!" Sun Wukong thought.
As a result, his two old grandsons became more and more speculative as they chatted, and even made an appointment to go to Pingkangfang to continue discussing art together another day.
At two o'clock, the two old grandchildren were full of wine and food.
Sun Guangrui bid farewell and got up, went to the door of the room and said to Sun Wukong:
"Since the Taoist master knows the identity of the old man, he can still talk happily with the old man. It is worthy of being a Taoist practitioner! It is an honor for the old man to get to know the Taoist chief."
Sun Wukong was polite on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart:
"Cut! What a fool! It's just a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. I just met the prince this morning, and he still calls me Mr.!"

===Chapter 1197 Showdown with Li Chunfeng===
Chapter 1197 Showdown with Li Chunfeng
The next morning, the two old grandsons opened the door almost at the same time.
"Hehehe! It's a coincidence!" Sun Guangrui laughed.
"Daozhang, how long do you want to stay in Chang'an?" Sun Guangrui asked.
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "It's not yet decided."
"If you have nothing to do, why not come to my house to stay for a while, last night I had a good time with the Taoist priest!" Sun Guangrui invited with a smile.
"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Sun Wukong wanted to go, but we had to hold back.
"It's okay, there are no relatives in the family, just the old man and the dog." Sun Guangrui said.
When Sun Wukong was drinking a little wine yesterday, he knew that Sun Guangrui was left alone again.
His wife, Sun Guo's mother, died of a cold the year before last.
Lao Sun has been busy with official duties in the past two years, but he is not busy continuing.
"That poor man will only trouble you for a few days." Sun Wukong smiled and nodded in agreement.
If he can build a good relationship with Sun Guangrui, he might be able to cheat Tang Seng in the future.
I just ate some snacks at the inn, before I got up to go out, I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest walking outside the inn.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Poor Dao Li Chunfeng, the real man is polite."
As soon as the Taoist came in, he went straight to Monkey King, and made Daoji greetings with Monkey King.
"Thunderbolt from the poor dao, I have met fellow daoists." Monkey King also called Daoji back.
"Master Tai Shiling? This is you?"
Being an official in the same dynasty, Sun Guangrui naturally knew someone who came, and it turned out to be Li Chunfeng.
"Scholar Sun is back? Oh, yes, it should be because of your son's business, His Majesty has let him go back."
Seeing that Sun Guangrui was there, Li Chunfeng immediately thought of the reason why he came back.
"Master Sun, I want to chat with this Taoist senior." Li Chunfeng said to Sun Guangrui.
Sun Guangrui nodded: "Please go ahead, then I will wait here for a while."
"Senior Pili, do you have time to chat with me?" Li Chunfeng looked at Monkey King.
Monkey King nodded, also wanting to see what this guy came to him for.
And he also wanted to know where Li Chunfeng came from.
The two went back to the room on the second floor.
The door was closed, Li Chunfeng cut to the chase and said, "What is the intention of Taoist Priest Perak to get close to the prince?"
In fact, Li Chunfeng knew that the meeting between Sun Wukong and Li Zhi was purely a coincidence. He asked this question just to seize the first opportunity and take the initiative for the following things.
Li Shimin had already spoken yesterday, to find out the number of Sun Wukong's route, and clear it directly if there is any problem.
"Prince? Pindao and the prince met by chance. It is not difficult to find out. Everyone in the inn can testify."
Sun Wukong was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said:
"Li Daochang can just speak up if you have something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Li Chunfeng smiled and said:
"Pili Daoist really has a clear mind."
"Pili Daoist. You must have been to Pingkang Square that day. The one who came out of the Town God's Temple was also the Daoist?"
"Pin Dao is very curious, the purpose of the Taoist chief coming to Chang'an."
"The Taoist priest has met the prince, and the prince's heart has changed."
"The Taoist priest has met the Shunyang County King, and the County King has also changed his mind."
"If you say that there is no purpose to grow up, but the poor don't believe it."
Li Chunfeng looked at Sun Wukong's faint remark, as if he wanted to see through Sun Wukong.
His easy-to-calculate technique is not omnipotent, he cannot be regarded as a stranger, and he cannot be regarded as a cultivator of immortals, so to investigate Monkey King, he can only investigate it himself.
"Pin Dao is a traveler, and has traveled in the Western Regions for more than [-] years. Now he just returned to the Tang Dynasty, and happened to be in Chang'an City."
Sun Wukong's words are half true and half false. He happened to be in Chang'an, but he ran into the conspiracy of Yuan's uncle and nephew.
In fact, Li Chunfeng has already grasped the whereabouts of Monkey King. From entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an City, Monkey King did not hide his whereabouts along the way, and many people have seen him.
Judging by his movement trajectory, he indeed came from the Western Regions.
However, he had only been in Chang'an City for two or three days, and several major events had happened, which had to make Li Chunfeng doubt his purpose.
"That day with Sun Guo, the young man who suddenly appeared was you." Li Chunfeng stared at Sun Wukong closely.
He can also easily change his appearance, but he can't change from an old man to a young man without people noticing it at close range.
But he can see that Sun Wukong is an ordinary mortal. If this kind of person has the ability to change, he is a very powerful alien, so he can't help but pay attention to it.
Monkey King was not in a hurry to answer, he was waiting for Liu Er's reply.
Li Chunfeng didn't urge him either, and he needed to be cautious when negotiating with an expert.
Since Li Chunfeng appeared just now, Liu Er has been snooping on Li Chunfeng, but this guy is a different person, so it's not so easy to check.
After a while, Liu Er finally discovered Li Chunfeng's details.
Li Chunfeng is a different person and has nothing to do with the West.
He is Li Shimin's confidant and has been working for Li Shimin.
Make sure that Li Chunfeng has no problem, and we can talk about it later.
Sun Wukong nodded easily and said, "It's me."
