It is an auspicious day to start construction.
Xie Linqian chose this day to move the grave and set off back to Runan with Xie Qingyao.
Before leaving, Second Uncle Xue Zining ordered someone to carry a box of food onto the carriage. "These are all made by your two aunts. Qiqi can take them with you to eat on the road."
My uncle Xue Chengye said solemnly, "I'm afraid the journey will be unsafe. Should I have the escort agency escort you all to Runan?"
Although the Xue family has no power, they are rich and want to hire a bodyguard at a high price to protect Xie Qingyao.
He was really anxious.
The fact that the Xue family does not participate in the court does not mean that they do not understand the situation at all. Being too prominent is not a good thing. It is too eye-catching and can attract assassinations.
"Why don't you stay here, Qiqi..."
I simply don't want Xie Qingyao to take the risk.
Xie Qingyao looked at her uncles' worried expressions and felt both heartwarming and amused.
"It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Should I go out again in the future?"
"They want me to be on guard every day and have trouble sleeping or eating, but I won't do what they want."
"Let's just lure the snake out of its hole and get rid of those rats in the dark, one by one."
That's the truth.
But the Xue family was afraid of what might happen.
Aunt Xue Huixin felt a little comforted: "Qiqi is brave, unlike aunt, who is now starting to feel weak."
She patted her chest, still feeling a little flustered.
Xie Qingyao soothed him, "Don't worry, I got a lot of good things from my master, and my father and I have made all the arrangements."
"And what about the Marquis? He certainly has his own plans."
The Xue family finally relaxed a little and watched Xie Qingyao and Xie Linqian get on the carriage.
Xie Qingyao and her maids shared one carriage, Xie Linqian and Xie Yuchuan shared another, and there was another one carrying their luggage.
Until the Xue family members were no longer in sight, Xie Qingyao lowered the carriage curtain and withdrew her gaze.
Shuangyue and Mozhu leaned against the car wall, seemingly resting with their eyes closed, but in fact they were paying attention to the movements outside.
There were twenty guards riding side by side on both sides of the carriage.
On the surface, they didn't bring many people with them on this trip.
After a moment, Xie Qingyao clapped his hands and said, "It's a long day, let's play cards."
Zhitao's eyes lit up and she turned around to get the cards.
Ning and Chulu skillfully brewed tea and arranged the snacks.
After a while, the group was having a great time.
Shuangyue and Mozhu have finally seen through their new master's temperament these days. She is not someone who keeps herself to herself.
The air is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
And in another carriage.
Xie Linqian was holding a yellowed letter in his hand, his eyes slightly red, and he didn't say anything.
But after a while, he read it from beginning to end, over and over again, until the letter was wrinkled.
If this letter had fallen into his hands back then, even if he had lost his memory due to the soul-stealing technique, he would have gone to find her and taken their daughter back.
“…” Xie Yuchuan held his breath, wishing he could turn into air.
If you look closely, you can see a hint of moisture on one corner of the letter.
He didn't expect that his usually serious fourth uncle could be such an emotional person!
Men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't reached the point of sadness.
Xie Yuchuan didn't know how to comfort Xie Linqian, so he turned around and went to Xie Qingyao's carriage and sat with the coachman.
Chat about mountains and rivers, recite poems and write couplets.
He listened to the sounds in the carriage for a while and felt something was wrong.
What is "won", "I lost again", "can't beat the master".
When he curiously went to see what the people inside were doing, he found that Xie Qingyao was playing cards with the maids.
Xie Qingyao raised her eyes: "Do you want to play together?"
Xie Yuchuan's gentle face pulled up a smile, and said: "No, you guys play."
He actually can't play cards...
I will definitely ask someone to teach him later, and let all the brothers and sisters in the Xie family learn from him.
The carriage traveled like this all day long, with calm weather until the next night.
There are dense trees on both sides and the wind is rustling.
"call out--"
"call out--"
"call out--"
Several hidden arrows came at us with the force of thunder.
"There's an ambush!" one of the guards shouted, "Protect the people in the carriage!"
Xie Qingyao, who was taking a nap, opened her eyes and saw panic on Zhitao and the others' faces.
Frost Moon, Mo Zhu's expression froze. He pulled out a sword from the drawer of the carriage and got off the carriage.
"Don't allow any enemy to approach the carriage. Protect the lady's safety first."
The sound of fighting was endless outside.
"Don't be afraid." Xie Qingyao patted Zhitao's shoulder.
Zhitao swallowed her saliva, her face pale, but she still said: "I am not afraid. As long as Madam is here, I am not afraid of anything."
Ning and Chulu held the daggers and lifted the curtain a little to see the situation outside. If the situation was not right, they could deal with it more easily.
The killer was quite skilled, but once he emerged, he realized that there were not only twenty guards outside, but Xie Qingyao and his men also had more than a dozen secret guards!
A man in black broke through the encirclement and rushed towards Xie Qingyao's carriage.
"Puff."
Mo Zhu's sword pierced his body from behind.
The killer fell to the ground unwillingly, "Just a little bit..."
Die with eyes open.
Shimotsuki finished off the man with a cold expression, almost stabbing him to pieces. "Almost? Who are you insulting?"
Soon, the ground was covered with corpses and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
After finishing off all the enemies, Mo Zhu returned to the carriage and reported, "Madam, they are all dead."
"Yeah." Xie Qingyao said calmly, "This is just the first wave. There will be more powerful ones waiting for us next."
She handed a handkerchief to Mo Zhu and said, "You have worked hard."
