Naturally, no one refuted Xiao Chengyi's words. After all, if it hadn't been for him today, I'm afraid all of them would have confessed here. He said that he would return to Beijing immediately because the situation must be serious and it would be dangerous to stay. So everyone got up one after another and went back to pack their bags.
.
Yuan Jiahe did not expect that Chen Zhiyong would cause such a big trouble. She originally thought she could stay in Xingping County for a few more days, but now she had to leave.
Thinking that after returning to Beijing, she and Xuan Du would never be together again. Like now, she felt a little disappointed and listless.
She lowered her head and packed her luggage. Xuan Du walked over and held her hands where she was folding clothes and said, "I'm sorry. I promised that I would accompany you to Jiangnan, but I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise."
Yuan Jiahe shook his head: "It's okay, we can go there again when we have the chance."
Xuan Du felt even more distressed when he heard her words. He asked, "Don't you blame me?"
"Why should I blame you? I should be blamed. If I hadn't offended that Chen Zhiyong, we wouldn't have gotten into such a big trouble.
That Magistrate Yang dared to poison even the county lord, let alone us, so we cannot act alone at this time, it is safest only to follow the county lord back to Beijing."
Yuan Jiahe pretended to be excited, tugged on his sleeves and asked, "Have you ever been to the capital? In fact, there are many interesting places in the capital, and I'm a little homesick too."
Xuandu didn't know that she said that to prevent him from feeling guilty. He lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm voice: "I haven't been there."
Yuan Jiahe said: "Then when we get back to the capital, I will take you around."
"good."
Xuan Du nodded in agreement, and then the two of them continued to pack their bags.
Soon, everyone was packed up, Xiao Chengyi prepared a carriage, the three girls sat in the carriage, and the men rode horses, and the group of people drove towards the outside of the city.
In the carriage.
Xiao Yunchu and Mu Yun'an were still a little uncomfortable riding together.
She had never suffered much hardship since she was a child, and she was favored by her father and brother. This time she accompanied her brother to Beichen to find her cousin, and she was very excited.
Especially when she saw Xiao Chengyi, she was stunned by his appearance at the first sight. She had never seen such a good-looking man before, and this man was her cousin.
The folk customs in Nanyue are open and open. If a woman has a man she likes, it is normal for her to boldly pursue him, not to mention she is a princess.
So she had a thought and wanted to take Xiao Chengyi back to their Nanyue. Even if she knew that Xiao Chengyi had someone in mind, she didn't want to give up.
So she convinced her brother to get rid of Mu Yunan while Xiao Chengyi was going to take the examination, so that no one would compete with her.
But she was wrong after all.
I thought that Xiao Chengyi would be too scrupulous to do anything to her no matter what, but she was still too naive in the end. This cousin of hers refused to recognize her relatives and was ruthless and decisive.
That day, she watched Xiao Chengyi pointing his sword at her imperial brother, and had nightmares for two days in a row, dreaming that she was killed by Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Yunchu has never been afraid of anyone in his life, and Xiao Chengyi is the first one.
The imperial brother asked her to find time to apologize to Mu Yun'an, but she never had the chance. Now this was a good opportunity, but there were other people in the carriage, and she couldn't bear this face.
Just as she was hesitating whether to speak, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and arrows struck through the air. She was startled and hurriedly opened the curtain to see random arrows striking from all directions in the dusk.
Several men beside the carriage waved their swords to resist Luan Ya, and Xiao Jue warned: "Chu Chu, protect the county master and Miss Aluan."
Xiao Yunchu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his kung fu is not bad. Although Yuan Jiahe has also learned it, it is just a show. Not to mention Mu Yun'an, she has not even learned anything.
