Two days after Ning Xizui and others arrived in Western Chu, Xiao Gao appeared again with a reply from Zhan Ting.
There was not much in the letter, but Yi Chenjing immediately decided to set off and rush back to the imperial capital without waiting for a moment. Bai Qige agreed to his decision after reading the letter - Concubine Jing's hiding place had been attacked many times, but luckily With Zhan Ting and Qiao Qingxu guarding him, nothing serious happened, except that Jin Zhaoyi suffered some skin injuries. The letter also mentioned that Yaohuang sent General Ou to come with more than a hundred forbidden troops for protection, but Yi Chenjing was worried about the hidden force. Enemies in the dark will use sideways to do harm, and with the encouragement of a filial heart, they can't wait no matter what.
In desperation, Fu Chu had no choice but to ask Xiao You to go back with a letter, telling Zhan Ting and Qiao Qingxu about their return route. The two parties were marching at the same time, striving to meet up as early as possible along the way.
The leisurely Yiye Villa suddenly became nervous. He prepared his car and supplies, made contacts on the road in advance, and found out the situation of Yi Chenxuan's placement... Ye Huawan, at a young age, was worthy of being the owner of the village. When he became serious, all his actions were orderly, which fully demonstrated his On the capable side, only when facing Yi Chenjing can she instantly regain her girlish mentality. Her coquettish appearance made Shen Yuqiu roll her eyes and Ning Xizui and others burst into laughter.
When leaving Western Chu, the poison doctor Shen Yuqiu did not see him off. When Yi Chenjing stepped on the boat, she vaguely heard the familiar song melodiously floating. She was silent for a moment and bowed three times in the direction of Qingming Mountain. As for paying homage to the deceased countryman, It is unclear whether Shen Junfang, the master, or Shen Yuqiu, who saved Bai Qige's life, paid homage to him.
Yi Chenjing should have been happy when he was out of a desperate situation and there was hope for a comeback. However, he couldn't be happy at all, and stuck to Bai Qige's side like a treasure. Ning Xizui said that they would go on the road together, considering that he has been walking all year round. There are many connections in Zhongzhou. Fu Chu and Bai Qige both agreed. Yi Chenjing's objections were ineffective and she could only accept without saying a word.
The carriage was a very simple two-horse carriage. Fu Chu drove the carriage, while the other four people sat in the carriage. Feng Wujiang followed behind in another carriage loaded with goods.
The positions of the four of them were fixed when riding in the car. Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing were on the same side, opposite Ye Huawan, and next to Ye Huawan was Ning Xizui. This was the position that Yi Chenjing had painstakingly arranged, so as not to let Ning Xi Zui and Bai Qige were next to each other, and this prevented Bai Qige from seeing Ning Xizui's disgusting face as soon as she raised her head. Bai Qige could naturally see such careful thoughts, and while helpless, she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, Yi Chenjing's monopoly on her It was so obvious that she almost swallowed her into her stomach so that no one could see her.
The route arranged by Fu Chu mainly focuses on lively towns. Firstly, there are many people mixed together, so Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing are not easily discovered while sitting in the car; secondly, even if they are really targeted, they can easily escape by taking advantage of the chaos. It can be said that it is the most convenient way to escape. Dangerous places are the safest.
"Further forward is Jicheng, which is the only way from Western Chu to the imperial capital. Friends in Jicheng said that many strangers came to the city in the previous section. They usually wandered around the city without doing anything. Apparently they were the fifth princes. My ears and eyes." Fu Chu pointed to the city gate in the distance, "It's getting late. We're going to spend the night in the city tonight. Our place of stay is provided by the proprietress of Yonghe Buzhuang. We'll see her at the city gate soon."
"The proprietress of Yonghe Cloth Shop...is she Zhong Gu?" Ning Xizui rubbed her chin in thought, "I bought some high-end silk materials from her last year to sell as imperial tribute cloth, and the price was really good..."
Bai Qige was speechless for a moment.
Ning Xizui is good in character and in every aspect, but his businessman nature is a bit unflattering. But think about it, there is no businessman without businessmanship, and there is no businessmanship without businessmanship. The more proficient he is in this way, the more proof that he is.
Is he a genuine businessman? Bai Qige glanced at Yi Chenjing seemingly inadvertently, and sighed secretly.
Yi Chenjing has been doubting Ning Xizui's identity from the beginning to the end. The reason is nothing more than Ning Xizui's special eye color and being too close to her. No matter how she defends Ning Xizui, it will be useless. In fact, even Ning Xizui
So what if he is a descendant of Xia'an? He is now immersed in business and is focused on nothing else. If it weren't for the fact that he and her had a similar temperament and became a close friend, he would not care about this mess.
While he was deep in thought, the carriage had already arrived in front of Jicheng Gate. Hearing Fu Chu stop the carriage and say hello to someone, he guessed that it was probably Zhong Gu, the proprietress of Yonghe Cloth Shop.
Before Bai Qige got up and got out of the car, Ning Xizui jumped out first and closed the car door when leaving, obviously not to let Bai Qige show up. Soon, Ning Xizui's elegant voice joined the conversation, and after a while, the wheels rolled, and unexpectedly,
It drove directly into the city and stopped for about a cup of tea.
"Sister Bai, come down, it will be safe here." The car door opened, and Fu Chu's bright smile appeared in front of him.
Bai Qige and Ning Xizui got out of the car one after another. After waiting for a long time, Ye Huawan didn't see Ye Huawan coming down. When he looked around, he discovered that the little girl had fallen asleep leaning against the car window at some point.
"Ms. Ye has been busy contacting friends all day and night in the past two days. She is probably very sleepy now, so let her continue to sleep." Gently pushing Yi Chenjing's arm, Bai Qige lowered her voice, "Chenjing,
Take her into the room, she will catch a cold if she sleeps like this all night."
Yi Chenjing frowned: "There are so many people, why do they have to be hugged by me?"
"Stop being so angry. If you don't want to hug him, who will hug him? How can Fu Chu be hugged if he is so thin?"
Isn't there that unscrupulous businessman? Just as Yi Chenjing was about to speak, he suddenly realized that Ning Xizui had already gone to the side courtyard to study vats of dyeing cloth. He was the only strong man in front of him.
Taking a deep breath to suppress her anger, Yi Chenjing glanced at Bai Qige, silently picked up Ye Huawan, and led her into one of the wing rooms under Zhong Gu's guidance. She didn't know that Ye Huawan was pretending to sleep.
She still looked like she was asleep. Yi Chenjing wanted to put her on the bed and leave quickly, but unexpectedly, Ye Hua stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around Yi Chenjing's neck, and seemed to never let her go.
Yi Chenjing hunched over and stood in front of the bed, unable to straighten up and put the person down, feeling embarrassed and depressed.
Fu Chu and Bai Qige were talking to Zhong Gu outside the door, not thinking that there were two people in the room. Yi Chenjing just stood in front of the bed with her neck stiffened, and a series of abdominal slanders flew straight at Ning Xizui.
"Big man..." Ye Huawan's eyelids moved, and he suddenly showed a satisfied smile like a child, "You promise not to drive me away..."
"I agreed, let me go first." Yi Chenjing said casually, and tried to pull Ye Huawan's arm, still holding him tightly. Looking back outside the room, Bai Qige was still chatting unconsciously, Yi Chen
Jing was anxious and angry, so she blocked Ye Huawan's ears and shouted: "Qi Ge, come in!"
Hearing the shouts, Bai Qige and Fu Chu looked at each other. When they stepped into the room and saw the situation in front of them, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and bent over with a smile - Ye Huawan was lying on the bed, her arms hooked around Yi Chenjing's neck, and Yi Chenjing stood with a livid face.
He couldn't bow down and stared at the two of them in embarrassment.
After Fu Chu laughed enough, he quietly walked to the bedside, held Ye Huawan's dark little head and kissed her forehead gently. As if casting a spell, Ye Huawan immediately let go of her arms and turned over.
Sleep sweetly and peacefully.
Withdrawing from the room and closing the door, Fu Chu shook his head distressedly: "Brother Chen, don't blame Ye Zi, she has been accustomed to it since she was a child. Her aunt passed away not long after giving birth to her, and her uncle loved Ye Zi to the point of doting on her.
Before going to bed at night, she would hug and kiss her before she would sleep. After her uncle left, Ye Zi was sad for a long time, but she couldn't stop this habit... Even though she smiled carelessly all day long, she was actually very lonely inside.
.”
"With such a considerate senior brother like you, it would be unreasonable for her to feel lonely again." Leaving some unclear words, Yi Chenjing pulled Bai Qige with a stern face, who was still suppressing a smile, "Shut your mouth, don't laugh."
"You don't care whether you laugh or not?" Bai Qige stepped on him.
There was a burst of laughter from the side, and Zhonggu, who was now a married woman, was filled with emotion: "The princess is really a cheerful character. I thought all the women in the palace were the kind of charming ladies who walk with their heads down and speak in a low voice!"
Yi Chenjing looked at Fu Chu inquiringly, who waved his hand: "Aunt Zhong is one of my own and can be trusted. I have not concealed the identities of Brother Chen and Sister Bai."
"Does the Seventh Prince doubt me?" Zhong Gu was not angry, and her hearty laughter was not inferior to the man's. "Don't worry, my life was saved by the poisonous doctor. People in the world talk about righteousness. Even if I die, I won't do it."
Do something that is sorry to the Poison Doctor. It’s not just me, there are many people who have been favored by the Poison Doctor or the old village owner along the way. The seventh prince and the princess are the Poison Doctor’s distinguished guests, and we must do our best to help.”
The saying that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water is simply a joke in the palace. How many people repay kindness like Qi's, and how many good people die unjustly and miserably without repaying kindness? Listening to Zhonggu's words, Yi Chenjing couldn't help but sigh.
, it is said that the royal family is the most noble, but those in the palace cannot even do the most basic good deeds, and are not as upright and upright as these so-called people in the world.
I just don’t know how much these people can help, and do they know that the enemy they face is also the prince of a country?
"Okay, let's stop chatting. I've prepared some simple meals in the front hall. If we talk for a while, it will be cold." Zhonggu pointed to the front hall and shouted to Ning Xizui in the other courtyard, "Boss Ning, seven years of blue and white."
Aged wine, fresh Luchuan river fish, you won’t be able to eat it if you go late!”
When Ning Xizui heard that they were eating and drinking, she immediately became energetic. She rushed to the side of everyone in three steps and two steps at a time, but her eyes kept looking towards the front hall.
"You are such a black-hearted person. You have to get some benefits from my place before you leave. Last year, you took away four more pieces of cloth. Do you have the nerve to eat mine for free this year?" Facing Ning Xizui, Zhonggu was obviously aggressive.
Much more than that, a series of laughter and curses were thrown into the air.
Ning Xizui pretended not to hear, but her steps were obviously much faster. Before Zhonggu could laugh and curse for the second time, she had already rushed into the front hall, making Fu Chu and others laugh again.
How does this look like a way to escape pursuit? It's more like just wandering around making friends. Yi Chenjing walked at the end of the crowd, raised her hand to hold Bai Qige in front, her eyes were deep.
Bai Qige understood what he meant. He had never been in contact with these common people, and he didn't understand what the Jianghu mentioned was. With his cautiousness, he still couldn't fully trust Zhonggu, not to mention that Ning Xizui was beside him? He had been involved in intrigues for a long time.
He had already lost his trust in strangers.
Gently holding her warm palm, Bai Qige slowed down and walked side by side with Yi Chenjing. At that moment, she seemed to be his strongest support.
In three thousand worlds and thousands of journeys, if there is one person who will never leave you, why should you fear life or death?
Yi Chenjing returned the palm of his hand and took a deep breath, turning his head slightly, only to see the peaceful and pure smile shown by one person.
It was a quiet and windless place with a gorgeous sunset, and it seemed like a very smooth starting point for the journey. However, outside the wall of the side courtyard that no one was paying attention to, a figure lurked in a dark corner, with a cold sword on his sleeve.
