The second aunt's grandmother watched the carriage go away and asked the housekeeper with a headache, "What on earth is going on? I'm confused."
The housekeeper thought about it and said, "Madam, this probably requires us to leave Beijing immediately."
"Leave Beijing immediately? Is the emperor angry?" This is what the second aunt can think of now.
The housekeeper thought, "Madam, no matter what happens, we'd better leave the capital first."
"According to Young Master Yamazaki's instructions, my side is ready."
"Madam, your jewelry and clothes have all been packed into boxes with the help of the maids who are waiting for you."
"But with Madam's lightness, before this carriage leaves the city, Madam, you can go home and see if there is anything else you want to bring."
The second aunt's grandmother was surprised, "Oh, are you ready?"
The butler held up his hand and said, "Yes, ma'am."
"Young Master ordered us to prepare within an hour and leave the city immediately if we have the opportunity."
"As the young master expected, I didn't even buy a horse or a carriage."
"When people heard it was us, they didn't sell it."
"Some agreed at first, but then regretted it and said that the clerk made a mistake in counting and there were no usable horses."
"I think I didn't hear anything about it at first, but then I heard about it and didn't dare to sell it."
The second aunt's grandmother raised her eyebrows and said, "Where is Jufulou Tower?"
The butler handed over his hand and said, "We can't even hope to get there from the Jufulou Tower. They don't have any carriages or horses on hand."
"I didn't give any money. I said I needed to ask for instructions, but I did provide food and feed."
The second aunt's grandma snorted coldly, "Humph, a married daughter throws away water, but I'm not married, so my sister-in-law treats me as an outsider."
The housekeeper changed the subject, "According to what the young master said, we went to find an escort agency, but even the big escort agencies didn't dare to take it.
"In the end, I hired a small escort agency at a high price. They had cars and horses. For them, if something happened, they wouldn't go back to Beijing."
The second aunt couldn't help but sneer, "It's better now. There are a lot of guards to see you off directly. This treatment is too weird. I always feel that the emperor will not be so kind."
"Madam, the young master said he would wait for us in the suburbs of Beijing. Why don't I go and take a look first?"
"Are you as fast as their eight horses? They should have left the capital first and then sneaked back. If you can't find them, they will come to us."
The butler handed over his hand and said, "Yes, this is what the young master told me when he left."
The second aunt's grandmother sighed, "Oh, let's leave the city first. I'm just worried."
…
On the other side, the palace and study room.
The emperor finally saw the report of the whole thing that started in the morning, "That is to say, this boy named Yamazaki questioned You Yunxiang in the street and made a fuss about the fact that he only had oral instructions and no imperial edicts."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The secret agent leader handed over his hand, "The main reason is that the Imperial Hospital also has doubts about Eunuch You because his behavior is abnormal."
The emperor was annoyed, "Huh, these quacks, I don't know how to settle the account for my thousand-year-old ginseng."
The secret agent commander did not answer the conversation and changed the subject, "Your Majesty, this boy named Yamazaki and his sister Shandai, they have eight horses and are extremely fast."
"Before the carrier pigeon arrived, it had already left the outskirts of Beijing."
"You want to tell me that it's not your fault, it's because they are too good at running away?"
"Indeed." The secret agent bowed, but did not kneel down.
The emperor didn't pursue it, "Okay, send me all the information about this kid and let me see who it is that makes my feet hurt!"
The secret agent commander pointed to a document on the table and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
"That's it?" The emperor picked it up and looked at it, then threw it directly at the spy commander.
"You are trying to fool me with the things from Tianji Hall. Believe it or not, I will push you out and kill you right now!"
The secret agent commander picked up the documents on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this Yamazaki has not had a good reputation before, so I really didn't notice it."
"Check it out for me. I want to know why he came all the way from Shanjiapu to the capital to ruin my affairs."
"I've already given the order. I believe there will be news soon."
"Then you can get out and come back when there is news."
"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."
…
The other side.
Yamazaki and Shandai are sneaking back to the outskirts of Beijing by climbing over the mountains, that is to say, leaving behind the official roads and the roads often used by Jianghu people on horseback, and taking the trails trodden by woodcutters and mountain people.
The road seemed relatively steep, so Yamazaki, who was injured, simply lay down on his horse.
I met no one all the way up the mountain until I met a group of people near the mountain crest.
One is tall, one is short, one is fat and one is thin, all four men use swords.
The tall ones use short swords, the short ones use long swords, the fat ones use thin swords, and the thin ones use broad swords.
When the two sides met, the atmosphere seemed quite tense.
Yamazaki glanced at it and whispered to Shandai to prepare for action and be careful of hidden weapons such as the Zimu Sword.
The wilderness here is full of roads that can be walked everywhere for Jianghu people.
The sound of their horses' hooves was loud, and there was no reason why those people couldn't hear it.
Hearing this, he did not give way, but chose to face him head-on. In all likelihood, he was prepared and then robbed.
Because you can see their situation just by looking at them from a high place. They have him as a wounded person, and Shan Dai is left as a female.
The four people thought that they were certain, so they stepped forward generously.
…
Shandai suppressed the excitement in her heart, pretended to change direction, and tried to bypass the four people.
Four people gathered around, and the fat swordsman smiled, "Little girl, what's going on?"
"Yes, yes, why did you ride into the mountains and forests on horseback?"
"Do you know where the official road is?"
"Would you like us to give you a ride?"
"Everyone, I want to..."
Shandai said as she jumped up and threw a handful of poison darts at the four people three feet away, but they dispersed.
Yamazaki shook his head secretly, because this was not because of the superb martial arts of the four of them, but because Shandai did not have enough experience in the world of martial arts and did not hold his fists before speaking.
Holding fists is not just a salute, telling the other person that you have no ill intentions, but also showing your hands to let the other person see that you can't take action.
Shan Daiguang was talking there, and the strange movements in his hands were naturally visible.
…
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The four people formed a pair, retreating quickly while wielding their swords to block the poisonous darts.
On the left side of Shan Dai is a tall and short pair, with the tall swordsman holding a short sword on top and the short swordsman holding a long sword below.
On the right side of Shandai is a fat and thin pair, the fat swordsman with a thin sword in front, and the thin swordsman with a broad sword in the back.
At the same time, he turned back the poison dart and hit Shandai, who landed on the ground, about one foot and five feet away.
Shan Dai, however, pressed her feet forward and rushed straight towards the fat and thin swordsman who was closer.
In fact, as she moved, she avoided a set of poison darts that were turned back, leaving only the fat and thin swordsman on her side.
The two of them did not meet him, but just blocked the poisonous darts and jumped back in large strides.
At the same time, those who had a tacit understanding reached out to attack with hidden weapons.
Shandai suddenly stopped, less than five feet away from the fat and thin swordsman. She connected her hands and flicked back the four poison darts that the fat and thin swordsman had deflected.
At the same time, without even looking at it, he turned to attack the tall and short swordsman.
At this time, the two of them had also gotten rid of the poison darts and rushed towards Yamazaki on horseback.
