"Qin'er, when did you come?" An Ran looked at An Qin and said.
An Qin nodded at this time and then said, "Dad, I heard everything you just said."
"Qin'er, don't worry. If Qin'er doesn't agree, dad will find another way!" An Ran said, looking at An Qin.
An Qin shook his head at this time, "Dad, my daughter is fine. As Mr. Zhao said just now, Princess Qingcheng does not have much power behind her. Even if she is the daughter of Duke Mu, so what, her daughter will not be better than her." Oh no, the mistress of Shuo Mansion will be mine from now on."
An Qin said with a proud look on her face at this time. She had always been very confident in her appearance. She didn't believe that it was only a matter of time before the Shuohou was not attracted by her.
An Ran was stunned for a moment after listening to An Qin's words, and then nodded, "That's fine, as long as Qin'er is happy."
"Daddy." An Qin pulled An Ran and tilted his head on his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Then when will the King of Liaocheng leave for Dongling?" Zhao Ji on the side asked again at this time.
An Ran thought for a while and then said, "Tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I will send someone to prepare now!" Zhao Ji cupped her hands at this moment, turned and walked away.
And these words were overheard by Mo Li who sneaked in dressed as a guard not far away and exited the Liaocheng Prince's Mansion without anyone paying attention.
After he escaped safely, Mo Li took off his guard uniform in an alley, put on his own clothes, then looked around at the entrance of the alley, and walked out of the alley.
I found a fast horse in Liaocheng and ran at full speed towards Dongling Imperial City!
The next day.
The King of Liaocheng and his daughter Anqin got on the prepared carriage and walked towards Dongling Imperial City.
As for Xu Qing, the people sent by Concubine Xiao Shu yesterday stared at the old man's door for a long time. They only saw the old man coming in and out, but found no other abnormalities.
He couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he really made a mistake
After observing for a while, he gave up. After a night of searching and fighting with wolves, the energy consumed was too great, so he turned back to the inn.
Xu Qing also got up quickly early in the morning and woke up the four of them. After getting dressed, Xu Qing took out the broken silver from his body and put it under the pillow.
If you give it directly to this old man, he will definitely not accept it.
Then several people walked out of the house, and the old man resolutely prepared breakfast.
"You guys are up." The old man was obviously in a much better mood today than yesterday.
Xu Qing responded with a smile, "Uncle, we are preparing to leave early this morning. Thank you very much for your hospitality these two days."
"My lord, don't worry."
The old man waved his hand and said.
After breakfast, they bid farewell to the old man!
After walking out of the house, one of them said to Xu Qing, "Sir, our carriage is gone and we are still some distance from the capital. What should we do?"
"How much money do you have left on you?" Xu Qing asked the four of them.
The four of them took out their money and said, "Sir, that's all. All our banknotes are on the carriage."
"Well, that's enough. You two can use the money to buy a carriage." Xu Qing looked at them and pointed at the two people.
After hearing this, the two of them frowned slightly, "Sir, there are so many of us, one carriage would probably..."
"Three of you can sit in the carriage, and one of you can ride the horse outside. Let's squeeze in a little bit." Xu Qing naturally knew what the guard was going to say, so he interrupted him.
At this time, one of them said, "Sir, with these scraps of silver to buy a carriage, I'm afraid our food money will become a problem in the future."
"When we pass through the woods, we will look for the carriage again. If we can find it, it will be best. If not, we will find another way." Xu Qing lowered his eyes slightly and then said.
Several people nodded after hearing this.
"Then sir, let's go to the town to buy a carriage first." The two said at this time.
Xu Qing nodded, "Well, the three of us will go to the woods first. After you make your purchases, meet in the woods."
"Yes." The two agreed and left.
This is when I, Xu Qing, said to the other two, "Let's leave quickly."
With that said, the group of people walked towards the woods.
The people sent by Prime Minister Lan, who had been observing secretly, couldn't help but feel that this Xu Qing had some skills, and he was able to escape the search by Xiao Shufei's people yesterday!
Now that Jiandu is not far away, Xiao Shufei's people will try their best to intercept Xu Qing, and they must be more vigilant.
So the leader turned his head and said to the others, "The people who were seriously injured yesterday are recuperating in this town. After they feel better, they will go after us. The rest of the people will follow me now. Xiao Shufei's people I will definitely try my best next time!”
"Yes, brother." The person behind responded at this time.
With that said, except for a few seriously injured people, the rest followed the leader towards the woods.
At this time, Xu Qing and the other three came to the place where the wolves had attacked them. Several hungry wolves were lying on the ground with stab wounds all over their bodies. The ground was covered with dried and brown blood. Looking at this place, one could think of what happened that night. Scenes of those people fighting against wolves.
Xu then recalled that night, when the horse was frightened and ran to the west, so he said, "Let's go over here and look for it."
After saying that, they walked towards the place where the horses ran that night. The big trees in the green forest were very dense and did not see sunlight all year round. The ground was naturally wet. Not far away, they saw two lines of wheel marks and horse hooves. mark.
Several people followed the marks and finally walked towards the woods.
After walking for a while, a person pointed ahead and said, "Sir, the carriage is in front."
Xu Qing looked in the direction that the man was pointing.
He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and ran forward quickly.
The carriage was leaning against a tree at this time. Some places had been damaged, and one of the wheels had been knocked off. It was probably because the horse was frightened and ran around in the woods, hit a big tree, took off the reins, and the carriage was The big tree stopped.
But the horse has disappeared.
At this time, several people walked over and prepared to lift the overturned carriage.
"Let's shout one, two, three, and work hard together." Xu Qing said to the other two people with the top of the hand-drawn carriage.
The two nodded.
Then Xu Qing shouted, "One, two, three."
Several people worked hard together, and the carriage was slowly pushed forward.
With a "Clang-" sound, the overturned carriage was helped up.
The carriage was now standing sideways as one of the wheels had been knocked off.
Then someone opened the curtain on the carriage and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sir, the baggage is still there."
Then he put his head into the carriage and took out the bundle.
Xu Qing nodded at this time. After getting the baggage, they searched in the woods for a while, hoping to find the horse.
Traces of the horse were found on a mound, but the horse had already fallen. He must have accidentally slipped and fell that night.
Xu Qing and others looked down the mound and saw the horse lying there motionless. It must have been seriously injured after falling off the mound.
At this time, a person came down from the side to check.
I walked to the horse, bent down and patted the horse's belly gently. I saw that it was still motionless, its eyes were slightly closed, and there was no light in them.
Later, it was discovered that there was a pool of blood under the horse's belly. It must have been injured by a branch when the horse fell. In addition, it had not eaten for several days, and its breath was very weak. It was estimated that it would not live long.
Then he went to check on the man who climbed up from the mound and walked to Xu Qing, "Sir, the horse fell down and injured its front legs and its belly was punctured by a branch. It's probably not going to survive."
"Well, let's go back first. I guess they have finished their work and are back now. Let's wait outside the green forest. When we pass through the town, we will buy horses." Xu Qing glanced at the horse under the mound again at this time. Then he said.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the place he came from just now.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, I encountered a horse grazing with its head down.
Seeing this, the other two people quickly ran forward and grabbed the reins. This was the horse that ran away that night.
When they returned to the woods, they found that the other two had not come over yet.
Xu Qing couldn't help but frown slightly. He should have been here for so long, but he still hasn't seen any trace.
"Sir, how about I go take a look?" someone said at this time.
Xu Qing thought for a moment. It was broad daylight and they were in a small town. These people were not so bold. Thinking of this, Xu Qing said, "Wait a little longer."
The two nodded.
After a while, one of them pointed forward, "Sir, they are coming."
Xu Qing quickly looked up and saw two people sitting outside the carriage, driving the carriage over.
When he walked to Xu Qing, someone gently pulled the reins, "Hey-"
Then the two of them jumped out of the carriage, "Sir, due to the limited money on my body, I only bought this carriage."
Xu Qing looked at the carriage at this time and saw that the carriage was very small and looked very shabby, but it was better than nothing.
At this time Xu Qing nodded, "You drive the carriage. The two of you sit in the carriage. You ride the horse we found just now. Let's hurry up. We must get to the next town before dark, and there can't be any more stops in the middle." There was an accident.”
Xu Qing said and got on the carriage first.
"Yes, sir." Several people responded and got on the carriage as Xu Qing said.
Then he walked into the woods and rushed towards Jiandu.
Aventurine.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and today was the day when Yang Zijin returned home.
Yang Zijin lay on the bed and stretched, then turned over onto Shuo Ling, and laid a kiss on Shuo Ling's face.
Shuo Ling opened his eyes at this time and looked at Yang Zijin with a doting look on his face, "What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough last night?"
"Today is the day when I come home, husband, are you free to accompany me?" Yang Zi rolled his eyes at Shuo Ling, and then scratched Shuo Ling's chest with his fingers.
Shuo Ling put his arms around Yang Zijin and said, "My husband has something to deal with today, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Can't you delay it for a while?" Yang Zijin looked a little unhappy after hearing this, but still asked.
