A letter from the imperial capital
With a "crash" sound, Yu Qingluo stood up from the tub. The clothes on the hangers were gathered up by her, and her naked body was rolled up tightly.
Jin Liuli looked back and then opened the door.
Wen Tian looked tired, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his lips. He handed the letter in his hand to Yu Qingluo and smiled softly, "This is news from the imperial capital. We knew that Miss Yu would be happy after reading it, so we sent it here."
Jin Liuli took it. The envelope had already been opened, probably Wen Tian and the others had read it. "Thank you."
"Then I won't disturb you two. Get some rest early. We are guarding this inn and nothing will happen." Wen Tian nodded and smiled, then turned and returned to his room.
Jin Liuli pulled out the letter while walking inside.
Yu Qingluo was already sitting at the table wiping her hair. When she took the paper she handed her, a few drops of water were thrown out, smearing the ink on the paper.
However, despite this, when she read the content of the letter, she couldn't help but laugh lowly.
"Why is it just a demotion?" Jin Liuli looked at it twice, but seemed not satisfied.
"It seems that Lin Fan failed to catch up, so Yu Zuolin went back first to apologize." This result was within her expectations.
Yu Zuolin was a military commander and Lin Fan was a civil servant. They were incomparable in terms of physical strength. What's more, Yu Zuolin had taken the first step and traveled day and night. Naturally, he rushed to the imperial capital first to explain his apology to the emperor. He is not a stupid person. After serving as an official for many years, he can figure out the holy will and know what kind of method can make the emperor calm down.
Therefore, by the time Lin Fan arrived, the emperor had already finished punishing him. He could not change his will and issue a new decree.
Furthermore, although Yu Zuolin is selfish and cruel, he still has a good way of fighting. Nowadays, in the prosperous times of great peace, there are few military generals who stand out. Finally, there is a young general, and the emperor will not block his retreat.
It is not difficult to reinstate the official once he is used for work.
And what about her Yu Qingluo? All that can be done is to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress him so hard that he doesn't even have a chance to stand up.
After putting the letter away, Yu Qingluo felt much better, and the boredom of being hunted for many days had also dissipated a lot.
It's just that she hasn't seen Nannan for more than half a month, and she misses him a little.
She thought that according to the distance traveled by the two of them, if there were no accidents on the way, they should have arrived in the imperial capital by now.
However, what she didn't expect was... She and Nan Nan were only one street apart at this time.
"Uncle Ye, how long are we going to stay here?" Nannan was bored, lying on the table and sticking out his tongue, looking out of breath.
Ye Xiu looked through the window at the inn opposite, his eyes narrowed slightly, he reached out and patted the little guy on the head, and said with a smile, "Let's set off tomorrow."
They have been staying in this inn for three days, just to wait for Shen Ying and others to catch up.
The closer we get to the imperial capital, the more dangerous this road becomes. He wasn't worried about the skills of Shen Ying and others, but Yu Qingluo... might become the main target of those killers.
Fortunately, he was safe and sound along the way, but he had to protect him secretly for the rest of the journey.
When Nan Nan heard what he said, her eyes suddenly lit up. She climbed onto his back twice and began to bite her ears quietly, "Is my mother here too? Isn't it, is it?"
After being separated for so long, he suddenly missed his mother so much. Although his mother abused him from time to time, denying him wine, money, and walks, she would still stand by him when he acted domineeringly. Well, this is My mother's only advantage.
"Well, here we are."
"Then let's go find her. Go quickly." Nannan suddenly jumped off his back. Completely different from the listlessness just now, he was already running towards the door of the room quickly.
Ye Xiudu stroked his forehead helplessly and pulled his little body back, "You want to go out to find her now? Aren't you afraid that she will be angry and deal with you?"
Nannan's body immediately trembled spinelessly, she shrank her head and whispered, "Afraid."
Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, "So we can only follow her quietly, do you understand?" This little guy is not afraid of anything, but he is extremely afraid of Yu Qingluo. Whenever he disobeys, he just needs to carry Yu Qingluo out. After hearing his name, he immediately sat aside obediently and upright, and did whatever he was asked to do.
Nannan immediately drooped his head again, sighed like a little adult, turned around and climbed onto the black panther's back to groan.
Carrying him on his back these days was like a deep hell for the black panther. Even if he listened to him chattering non-stop during the day, why did he still stay with this little devil at night? Master, you are too partial.
Ye Xiu glanced at one person and one leopard alone, then turned his head and looked at the brightly lit inn opposite.
That woman must also miss Nan Nan very much.
Soon, as long as they arrive in the imperial capital and are no longer surrounded by killers, the mother and son will be able to meet each other soon.
The night gradually darkened, and the firelight of the inn also dimmed little by little. Ye Xiu turned around alone and found that Nannan and Black Panther had already fallen asleep. He immediately curled up his lips, bent down and carried Nan Nan to the bedside.
The black panther opened his eyes almost at the same time as he made a move, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
When she saw it was him, she immediately shrank back and closed her eyes again.
"I'm going out for a while. I'll leave Nannan to you." Ye Xiu walked up to the black panther alone and patted it on the back. The latter seemed to understand, and immediately jumped up and squatted beside Nannan, guarding him like a guard.
Ye Xiu looked at the roof alone. There were secret guards there, so he could rest assured about Nannan's safety.
After the night got darker, Ye Xiudu changed into another set of clothes, left the inn quietly, and jumped directly onto the roof of the inn opposite.
Yu Qingluo had gone to bed long ago. For her, after riding in a carriage all day, having a stable place to sleep was the most comfortable thing.
Therefore, when Ye Xiu sneaked into her room alone, she was completely unaware and had no consciousness at all.
Nannan said that when Yuqing slept in a strange place, some poisonous powder would be sprinkled beside the bed that would set people on fire when touched. There was also a hidden weapon she arranged beside the bed. As soon as she got close, a drugged silver needle would fly out and pierce the person's face.
Ye Xiudu walked steadily and looked around. He really couldn't see where to install the silver needle.
However, the information provided by Nan Nan must be correct.
Ye Xiu stood alone three steps away from her and watched. Seeing that her whole body was safe and sound, she seemed not to be injured, cold, hungry or wronged, so he felt a little relieved.
Since everything was fine, he naturally wouldn't stay any longer.
However, before he could turn around and leave, there was suddenly a ping-ping-pong-pong sound of fighting downstairs.
