Then walk towards the pile of straw!
The five people in Xu Qing screamed in their hearts, their backs tightened, and beads of sweat came out of their bodies.
I thought that this time it was definitely over. There were so many people on the other side, and they were all masters. With their three-legged cat skills, there was no way they could escape. The only way out was death.
At this time, those people took out the swords in their hands, and then walked gently to the straw pile, and they couldn't help but close their eyes.
But at this moment, a big mouse suddenly ran towards the door from the straw pile.
When those people saw this, they looked at each other and then took back the swords in their hands.
At this time, the leader outside asked, "But what did you find?"
"Boss, it's a big rat." One person turned his head and said to the door.
After hearing this, the leader said, "Go and look elsewhere!"
Several people in the woodshed nodded in response, then turned around and kicked the straw pile a few times before turning and leaving the woodshed.
When there was no movement outside, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, their hearts were really in their throats, and at this time, their backs were already soaked with sweat.
At this time, a person said softly to Xu Qing, "Sir, there is no movement outside."
"Shh - just in case, wait a little longer." Xu Qing said to several people after hearing this.
Several people nodded in agreement.
Now that those men in black have not found them, they will definitely not leave here, and they may come back again.
At this time, they heard the rooster crow for the second time. It was not long before dawn, so they thought it would be safer to wait until dawn before going out!
Xiao Shufei's people kept running until the sky was slightly bright, but they could not find Xu Qing's figure. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the leader had no choice but to say reluctantly, "Get out!"
"Boss, I'm not looking for you anymore. Over there, Master..." After hearing this, someone walked forward and asked.
The leader's eyes were full of coldness, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the imperial city!"
The leader knew that the fact that Xu Qing was not found now meant that the mission had failed.
Today Xu Qing will arrive in Jiandu, and there are many towns around Jiandu, so there is no way to start, so he can only go back to the imperial city first.
Prime Minister Lan's people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, they could also take a good rest.
Then he watched Concubine Xiao Shu's people get on their horses and return to the imperial city.
"Brother, what should we do now?" someone asked at this time.
The leader showed a smile at this time, and then said, "Follow them and return to the imperial city!"
"Yes!" A group of people responded and walked towards the place where they put their horses, and then followed Concubine Xiao Shu towards the imperial city.
Xu Qing and others waited until dawn.
At this time, someone asked, "Sir, can you go out now?"
"Yeah." Xu Qing looked outside through the gap, then nodded and said.
After several people heard this, they pulled the branches and straw away from their bodies and walked out of the straw pile first.
Then he quickly removed the branch that was pressing on Xu Qing.
After several people removed the branches, Xu Qing pushed the straw aside, then stood up and pulled off the straw stuck to his body and hair.
"Sir, are you okay?" At this time, someone asked Xu Qing.
Xu Qing adjusted his clothes a little at this time, then shook his head, "It's okay, the man in black must have left, let's leave quickly."
"Yes, sir." Several people responded, took out the bundles placed in the straw, slung them around their bodies, and went to open the door.
When they came out, they saw the innkeeper looking at the things that were damaged in the fight between the men in black last night. He sat aside and watched with a grimace on his face.
The people who stayed in the inn last night all stuck their heads out and looked outside. When they saw that there was no movement, they quickly packed up their things and walked out of the house.
They all walked around the things scattered on the ground and ran out of the inn as if they were running away!
They couldn't live in a place like this anymore. The fierce fighting they heard last night scared them a lot.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he quickly stood up and ran to the door to stop him. "Everyone, wait a minute. It was an accident last night. I promise that this kind of thing will not happen in the future."
"I said shopkeeper, how can you guarantee that? The sound of the fight last night made us scared. Look at the extent of the damage on the ground, which shows that the two people who fought last night were very skilled. Maybe the shopkeeper offended someone, but we don't dare Stay here!" A middle-aged man said at this time.
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them nodded in agreement, "That's right, I was really scared to death last night."
Seeing this, the innkeeper quickly said, "Everyone, please be quiet. What happened last night shocked everyone. To express my apology, I will give you a 50% discount for future guests staying at this inn."
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said.
"Now, even if you let us live here for free, we don't dare to live here. Maybe that person comes again tonight, and he may lose his life." At this time, someone else said.
With that said, he started to push the shopkeeper aside and walked outside.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look anxious, "Sir, last night was purely a coincidence. Don't leave, don't leave."
But these people didn't listen and walked straight out.
After a while, except for Xu Qing and a few people standing in the house, everyone else left.
When the shopkeeper saw that several people were not leaving, he forced a smile on his face and walked to Xu Qing, "Quickly, arrange the guests in the best room."
Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a little apologetic on his face at this time. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have caused losses to the shopkeeper. He then said to the shopkeeper, "That shopkeeper, we don't want to stay, we just want to get back the rent paid yesterday." , we are still in a hurry."
"So that's it. Go and pay the remaining rent of this guest." After hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile. Then he looked at the young boy aside and said to him.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked depressed, then slumped down on the ground by the door, and couldn't help but say, "It's over, everything is over."
How could he be so unlucky? Why did this happen to him? If this matter spread, what would happen to his inn in the future
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but pound the ground several times.
After Xu Qing settled the remaining rent, seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If it weren't for him, the shopkeeper wouldn't be what he is now. Speaking of which, this incident was caused by him!
Then Xu Qing walked up to him and said, "Shopkeeper, you don't have to be too sad. You will repair the inn now. After a while, nothing like this will happen again in the inn. People will forget about this incident. Then business will be as prosperous as it is now.”
"Thank you for your kindness and making me laugh. I wish you a good journey." The shopkeeper looked at Xu Qing at this time and said to Xu Qing with distracted eyes.
Xu Qing bowed his hands to the shopkeeper before walking out of the inn.
Then his subordinates brought the carriage from the inn yard.
There were also horses bought in other towns before. Then Xu Qing walked into the carriage, and several people got on the horses and set off in the direction of the capital.
If we go faster, we can probably reach Jiandu at noon.
As for the King of Liaocheng and others, they also took to the road towards the imperial city at dawn.
In the palace of Concubine Xiao Shu.
Concubine Xiao Shu sent people to invite the third prince and the third emperor’s concubine over.
At this time, Master Chu Weiming and Liu Yiyi walked towards Concubine Xiao Shu's palace.
Xiao Shufei had someone prepare some desserts at this moment, fearing that Liu Yiyi would be hungry.
I remember that when she was pregnant with Master Chu Weiming, she felt hungry very quickly when she was about to give birth. I heard the imperial doctor said that it was because the fetus in her belly was growing up slowly and absorbing more and more nutrients, which would make people feel better. I'll feel hungry just now.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xiao Shu smiled again and asked someone to prepare more, but her little grandson must not be hungry.
Just as he was getting ready, Master Chu Weiming came in supporting Liu Yiyi.
Although there are still some days before delivery, Liu Yiyi's belly is already very big.
"Mother concubine." Master Chu Weiming said with a smile.
Liu Yiyi felt slightly blessed at this time, and then said, "Greetings to my mother and concubine."
"Why are Yiyi so polite? Tomorrow, let Yiyi sit down quickly." Seeing this, Concubine Xiao Shu quickly said to Chu Master Wei Ming.
Master Chu Weiming helped Liu Yiyi to the table aside, "Slow down."
After Liu Yiyi sat down, Master Chu Weiming stood up.
After Liu Yiyi sat down, she looked at Concubine Xiao Shu and said with a smile, "Thank you, concubine."
"Yiyi is so polite. Do you feel your body is okay now?" Concubine Xiao Shu sat next to Liu Yiyi and then said, holding Liu Yiyi's hand.
Liu Yiyi felt a little panicked at this time, and said with a smile, "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, mother and concubine."
"Yiyi, what are you talking about? What you are carrying in your belly now is a descendant of our royal family, and you are also the emperor's first grandson." Concubine Xiao Shu said to her with a smile.
After hearing this, Liu Yiyi showed a forced smile on her face.
Although Concubine Xiao Shu seemed to be so kind to her, she also knew the reason. From the moment she first came in, Concubine Xiao Shu never left her unborn child.
Her mother was right. After joining the royal family, she lived for her children. Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi gently touched her belly twice with her hands. Since she had married into the royal family and had no choice, she would have a poor mother and a poor child. expensive!
At this time, Concubine Xiao Shu picked up the cakes prepared on the table and gave them to Liu Yiyi, "Seeing that you are on the thin side now, you should eat more so that the child in your belly will be strong. I have someone specially prepare this for Yiyi." prepare."
"Let the mother-in-law worry about it." Liu Yiyi nodded at this time and took the cake handed to her by Xiao Shufei.
When Liu Yiyi took the cake, Concubine Xiao Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Eat quickly."
Liu Yiyi nodded, then brought the pastry to her mouth, pursed her lips and took a small bite.
"How is it? How does it taste?" Concubine Xiao Shu asked Liu Yiyi at this time.
I saw Liu Yiyi put the pastry in her hand back on the plate, "It's delicious."
"Since Yiyi likes to eat, I will ask someone to make more and send it to the house." Concubine Xiao Shu said to Liu Yiyi after hearing what she said.
