Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen Changes From All Parties
On the third day, Ling Yun's figure appeared outside the south gate of the capital. At this time, he was sitting on a carriage, looking back at the city gate behind him. His mind was in a trance. Perhaps it was out of reluctance to leave the capital, or maybe it was due to a certain part of the city.
Human reluctance...
All in all, the emotions in my heart are indescribable, and there are mixed expressions on my face, whether it is reluctance, nostalgia, or a slight hatred...
There was a feeble sigh in his heart. Ling Yun regained his feeling of loss and turned to look at Yang Sanniu on the horse. He squeezed out a stiff smile and said with a smile, "Sanniu, let's go!"
Yang Sanniu nodded and said, "Yes, young master."
Riding his horse, he glanced back towards the city and shouted loudly to the front, "Young master has given the order, let's go!"
As soon as Yang Sanniu said these words, the cavalry moved in response.
When Ling Yun went to take up his post, there was no farewell ceremony, no officers and soldiers appointed by the court to escort him, and he only had a letter of appointment with him.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Ling Yun did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire a famous escort agency near the capital to escort him.
The escort agency escorted a total of sixteen people, excluding the groom. It cost a total of thirty-two thousand taels of silver, an average of two thousand taels per person, which was very expensive. However, at this price, it was just the protection fee. He also had to pay for the silver spent on the road.
.
Anyone else would definitely not be able to accept the price and would rather go with a few followers, but Ling Yun is different. As far as he is concerned, money is an external thing. If it is gone, it can be earned again. If his life is gone, it is all over.
For this fee, I still searched several escort agencies before I found one willing to escort me. Other escort agencies, no matter how much they raised the price, just said two words: I won’t go.
As for why the Li family didn't come to see him off, it was because Ling Yun didn't notify Li Chengyou at all when he left. This was also to protect the Li family from the He family's anger.
Of course, he left a letter, and after he left, someone would deliver the letter to Li's house.
Sure enough, at the south gate of the capital, when Lingyun's cavalry moved forward slowly, someone immediately came to Li's house with a letter.
Because the envelope was signed by Ling Yun, the letter was presented to Li Chengyou as soon as it arrived at the Li Mansion without any hindrance on the way.
In the room, Mrs. Li held the envelope sent by Ling Yun in despair, sobbing softly, "Master, Yun'er... Yun'er, is he leaving now? Didn't he agree on the day after tomorrow?"
"well!"
Li Chengyou sighed softly and said nothing because he had already guessed Ling Yun's intention.
Seeing that her husband was silent, Mrs. Li said anxiously, "Master, please say something! Yun'er... Yun'er, has he really left?"
Li Chengyou sighed again, then looked in the direction where Ling Yun left, and said in a low voice, "Well! Yun'er has indeed left."
Hearing these words, Mrs. Li's body suddenly trembled, and she hesitated to speak. Tears in her eyes kept flashing. She turned away, and the tears streaked down her cheeks and fell silently.
Seeing this, Li Chengyou gently patted her back and comforted her, "Madam, don't be sad, Yun'er will definitely come back in less than three years."
If Li Chengyou didn't mention the time of his return, Mrs. Li would only sob quietly to vent her inner sadness and reluctance. When this was mentioned, Mrs. Li's tears could not stop flowing down her face.
"Three years, three years! Master, how can Yun'er adapt to that barren land in Nanyi Prefecture? It is really a punishment from God. How could His Majesty be so cruel to demote Yun'er to such a place? Missing us Yun'er, these
I have given so many good suggestions over the years, can’t they be worth the sin this time?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengyou's eyes widened, he was obviously startled, and he immediately yelled, "Madam, be careful! You and I can't guess His Majesty's decision. Besides, Yun'er's trip is not to be demoted, on the contrary, Yun'er
My son was a blessing in disguise, he was promoted, and now he is a veritable fourth-rank official in the imperial court, only one level lower than his husband."
Even so, when Mrs. Li heard it at first glance, she snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Promotion, haha... It sounds nice. Don't think that I am a woman and don't understand the affairs of the court. That position, what is that?
If it sounds good, it means promotion; if it sounds bad, it means exile."
"Look at the so-called dignitaries and the children of aristocratic families. Who would want their own children to go to that barren land in order to get promoted and get an official position? Even if it is just for a year, they cannot avoid it on May Day... But now the master said, Yun'er
Being promoted in this trip is a blessing in disguise, it’s simply unreasonable!”
After hearing this, Li Chengyou smiled bitterly and said, "Okay madam, I made a mistake for my husband. This is also a helpless move. Who told Yun'er... ugh! It's okay not to say anything."
At the same time, in a study room somewhere in the capital, a person was sitting directly above him with sharp eyes, as if he were looking down at all living beings. At this moment, there was a person kneeling on the ground below, with a very respectful attitude, and said with sincerity and fear, "Master, Ling Yun is on his way today.
"
Hearing this, the person above was slightly startled, and then murmured in a low voice, "Oh? We are on the road now? I thought we would be delayed for a few days, but now it seems that I guessed wrong."
Then his eyes moved down, staring at the people below, "Have you ever found out how many people are accompanying you?"
The person below paused for a moment, then recalled, "Sir, there are only two people accompanying us, the master and the servant, but there is another group of people."
The owner above was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, "There are others, how can I say this?"
The person below explained, "Sir, the thing is like this. Ling Yun spent a lot of money from nowhere to hire a group of people from the escort agency to escort him. There are sixteen people in the escort agency and eight grooms in total, so their group,
There are twenty-six people in total."
"oh?"
Hearing this, the master above was very surprised. He did not expect that Ling Yun would be so cautious and would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire someone to escort him. It was a good idea. He is so young, but it is a pity...
The master above thought for a moment, took off a dark token from his body, threw it down, and said in a deep voice, "Take the token and go to Black Blade, he knows what to do."
"Yes, sir."
Similar things happened in another part of the capital.
"Sir, Ling Yun left the capital today."
The man named Sir sneered and made a beheading gesture and said, "Leaving? Okay, okay... This is the moment I have been waiting for. Go down and tell Deadpool to kill him on the way..."
This kind of interception halfway is probably more than just two companies...
…
In the imperial study, Xiao Lizi was beating Emperor Qianxi's back when he suddenly remembered something. He approached Emperor Qianxi's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Ling is leaving today."
Emperor Qianxi opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and muttered, "Oh? Are you leaving?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the people below will report that Master Ling has indeed left."
Emperor Qianxi murmured to himself, "Well! It doesn't matter if you leave or leave... If you have too much momentum, you will die prematurely. If you stay far away, you can avoid the sight of those people."
"Your Majesty, with Master Ling's current thoughts, I am afraid that you cannot imagine your Majesty's intentions."
Emperor Qianxi paused, tsked and said, "It's okay if he doesn't think of my intentions, but I believe that with his intelligence, he will naturally understand my good intentions in the future!"
