The carriage is very spacious, and two people can fit on the large couch inside. There is also a brazier with a kettle on it, and a teapot and teacups on the small table fixed on one side.
This way, it doesn't look like escorting a prisoner at all.
Moreover, this thing is so fully prepared, it seems that the journey is not close.
The carriage hadn't left yet, and a woman's cry could still be heard in the distance. Lin Yutong heard that the cry belonged to Lin Fanghua. She was not from Duke Jin's mansion, so she did not need to be taken away, but Qi Duoer was different. Lin Yutong chose
He raised the curtain and took a look outside, and saw that Qi Duoer was actually being carried into the carriage.
Is this illness? Or is it pretending to be ill?
Everything is fine, there is no news at all, who did this?
Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master, who shook his head and said, "Go to sleep. There's no point in thinking about it."
The two of them lay down, blew out the oil lamp in the carriage, and waited quietly. There were people everywhere outside, and it was impossible to talk.
"Have you seen clearly how many carriages there are?" Fourth Master asked next to Lin Yutong's ear.
Lin Yutong wrote the word "five" in the fourth master's hand. The fourth master chuckled: "Go to sleep! It's okay!"
His tone was determined, which made Lin Yutong couldn't help but think about it. Does this have anything to do with the fact that there are five carriages?
He and his fourth master shared a carriage, Jin Shouren and Chu Huaiyu shared a carriage, second-fang Jin Chengquan and the Gao family shared a carriage, and Jin Shouli shared a carriage. The second-fang's daughters were all taken to the Gao family, so they were not included.
.The last carriage belongs to Qi Duoer.
So what about Jin Chengan and the Chu family? And what about the old lady who is looked down upon by the government?
Jin Chengan didn't leave, but took his family away. What did he want to do?
Jin Chengan was in the palace at this time, looking at Prince Duan sitting at the top, with a bit of anger on his face: "Your Majesty, you do this..."
Prince Duan waved his hand: "Don't get excited yet! Sit down and let's talk slowly."
Jin Chengan twitched the corner of his mouth before sitting down, but did not look at Prince Duan, "Does the prince want me to do something?"
Prince Duan shook his head: "No! Don't think too much, I don't need you to do anything. As long as you do what you should do. That's all."
Jin Chengan then looked at Prince Duan: "I don't understand what the prince means."
"I don't care whether you really don't understand or not, you just need to remember what I said." Prince Duan said with a smile, "It is your duty to guard the palace. Your current position...
I wanted to replace you, but who told my father to trust you more? We Mingren don't tell secrets. I did this to tell you that I can't trust you! So...I'm sorry..."
"Your Majesty is not afraid of chilling the hearts of your ministers." Jin Chengan felt relieved, but his face became even more angry. He stood up suddenly and asked, "I am not afraid that the Emperor will find out and it will be detrimental to Your Majesty."
"It's possible to warm up after a cold heart. Father... Cheng An, you must be a smart man... Tomorrow morning, you will definitely report to the emperor that you sent your brothers and nephews back to your hometown to worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year. You
I also asked the king for a bodyguard... If anything else, I believe you won’t tell me.”
Jin Chengan looked as if he was stunned, and then sneered: "The prince is really good at scheming, but I don't want to tell you, but other people may not..."
"Who do the others refer to? No matter who you want to allude to, as long as you don't admit it, everything will not be fine. Faced with other people's slander, you will clarify it for me, right?" Prince Duan laughed and patted him.
Jin Cheng'an's shoulder, "Cheng'an, you have always been a person who understands current affairs. I believe you will make the right choice. You have two sons, and I think the title of the Duke should be inherited by the concubine..."
Jin Chengan's face suddenly darkened: "The prince is trying to... interfere with my family affairs!"
Prince Duan laughed loudly: "That's wrong! I am the eldest son who likes you. I really think it is appropriate to call him a county king!"
This grace is a bit big! Usually, when giving grace, it is also to promote the title. It is amazing that I was promoted from a Duke to a County King. But this is not only given to a County Prince, but the Duke's Palace will not take it back.
Prince Duan was certain that Jin Chengan would be tempted.
In the dark carriage, even though the arrangements were relatively good, it still felt cold. It always felt like the cold wind was pouring inside.
Lin Yutong felt silently. Because his body was lying across the carriage, his body hit the back wall of the carriage. This meant that the carriage was accelerating or moving forward. His body involuntarily bumped into the Fourth Master, which meant that it was slowing down or suddenly stopping.
.When the top of the head hits the side wall of the car, it is turning east. Your body can't help but slide down, it is turning west.
The two of them were in the carriage, quietly understanding each other, and then slowly making calculations.
When he heard the sound of the city gate opening, Lin Yutong whispered: "This is out of the west gate."
Going west? Where are we going?
The sound of wind mixed with the sound of horse hooves, and Lin Yutong, who was swaying, soon became confused.
Fourth Master stretched out his hand to pull up the hood of Lin Yutong's cloak and covered her face. The wind came in and blew her face like a knife. "Go to sleep. We just left the capital. Nothing will happen! It's safe tonight."
of."
That's true, the road was very slippery and the carriage couldn't go very fast at all.
Feeling relieved, Lin Yutong slept peacefully. When she woke up again, the carriage was still dark. The fourth master was also sleeping soundly. She was woken up by peeing. After entering the space, she solved her physical problems and came out quietly. She
Even if he couldn't see it, he knew that Fourth Master was awake.
"I don't know what time it is anymore?" Lin Yutong glanced out from the gap in the curtain, retracted and whispered: "It's already dark outside."
It was also around six o'clock in the morning.
The Fourth Master also stood up and said, "There should be a town further ahead." Otherwise, this group of people would eat and drink whatever they wanted.
Each of them was riding a horse, and there was no baggage carriage, so they must have brought nothing.
Lin Yutong then lit up the oil lamp, and the two of them drank water from the pot, cleaned their faces, and took care of themselves before sitting on the couch and waiting.
Sure enough, after walking for another half an hour, I lifted up the curtains and saw that it was already bright outside, and I could see the outline of the town in the distance.
The soldiers on horseback on both sides were all dressed as guards from the escort agency. I originally thought they were going into the town, but who knew that the carriage suddenly stopped and the curtain of the carriage was opened by a man with a beard.
"Fourth Young Master, you are a smart man. I believe you understand what to say in a moment."
Warn them not to talk too much?
The Fourth Master gave a faint 'hmm', got off the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to help Lin Yutong.
As soon as the two landed, they saw Jin Shouren and Chu Huaiyu who were also getting off the carriage. Both of their eyes were a little black and looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that they must have been on tenterhooks last night and had not slept well. Looking further ahead, there were
Jin Chengquan, Gao and Jin Shouli. The last one to show up was Qi Duoer.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
In front of us in the wilderness, surrounded by seventy or eighty soldiers, what can we say?
Lin Yutong was observing the surrounding environment when he heard a shout: "Shop! Shop! Open the door! Business is coming."
It turned out that there was a teahouse on the side of the road where a straw shed was set up.
Lin Yutong also saw that place just now, but saw that half of the thatched shed collapsed under the weight of snow, so he thought it was an abandoned place. It turned out that there were still people running it.
If that were the case, I probably wouldn't have entered the town. I could still make a living here.
The shopkeeper is a thin man in his forties, followed by his mother-in-law.
After the couple came out, they were obviously stunned for a moment. The man looked at everyone several times and said, "Hey, good man, our store is small and we can't do such a big business."
The bearded soldier threw ten taels of silver coins over and said, "We'll borrow your place to keep warm. It doesn't matter if you can't make anything to eat. The town is not far away. I'd rather bother you to make a trip and buy some food."
This is fine."
The man immediately beamed with joy: "What a great feeling! The God of Wealth has come to our house today. All you heroes, grandparents, please come in."
This teahouse has three rooms inside and outside, and only three tables. It was so crowded that everyone was crammed in.
But even if they are all in the house, these houses are far apart, so no one can come up to talk to anyone, just touch their eyes from time to time and hurry up to score points.
Lin Yutong turned around and saw the woman coming out with a large pile of bowls, scooping out the brewed tea from the pot, and handing them over one by one. She glanced at the bowls and frowned. This small tea room,
Preparing so many bowls? This is unreasonable.
It's like a small snack bar. Who prepares hundreds of bowls? The store can't accommodate so many people at one time, so there is no need to prepare so many bowls. It's not worthwhile to do this in a small business.
She immediately turned to look at Fourth Master and shook her head gently.
The fourth master glanced at the shop lady serving tea. There were so many people in this shop and no one spoke. It was really strange that this woman was not surprised.
When the tea came, Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat. The water had been drugged. It was a drug that was not easy to detect. This was really weird. There was a black shop next to the town, only half a day away from the capital.
?Isn’t this the most ridiculous thing in the world? Is it the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind?
She gave the pills to Fourth Master, then pressed the solution under the coating of her tongue and drank the tea.
First, Qi Duoer's body went limp and he lay down on the table. Before the people standing around him could react, they all fell down one by one like a stack of arhats.
On the other hand, the person who drank tea later was still sober at the moment. When he saw that something was wrong, he pulled out the knife and opened the door. It was already too late. As soon as the medicine took effect, the person fell down.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were both lying on the table, wanting to see who the person behind this was.
Sure enough, the woman blew a whistle, and the man who had been sent out to buy food walked in. "Falled?" he asked.
The woman nodded: "Hurry up and call someone."
Hear the man say: "We are changing carriages. The sleigh is faster than the wheels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thin male voice saying: "First carry these young masters to the carriage...behave with your hands, don't touch the female family members...otherwise, you'll be scratched alive."
...Everyone of them is an eggless creature, let’s accumulate some virtue for the next life.”
