There were only a dozen days left until the Spring Festival, and without anyone noticing, Qiu Mobai and Hua Qingqing quietly left like ghosts.
When Jiang found out that she had not seen Hua Qingqing for two days in a row, she couldn't help but feel confused.
At first, she guessed that perhaps her daughter had gone to Gao's Mansion, but after sending servants to Gao's Mansion to inquire, the answer she got made her feel uneasy - Hua Qingqing was not in Gao's Mansion.
Jiang began to panic.
She hurriedly ordered everyone to look for Hua Qingqing's whereabouts.
Finally, after a search, someone found a note in Hua Qingqing's room, which read:
"Mom, Brother Qiu and I are out on business. We expect to be back on New Year's Eve. Please don't worry about us!"
There is also a smiley face drawn on the back.
Seeing this note, Jiang couldn't help but frown.
But then he thought, his daughter has always been extremely intelligent and has extraordinary abilities.
With Qiu Mobai accompanying me on this trip, I shouldn't encounter too much risk, so I feel a little more at ease.
But she still didn't dare to take it lightly, and she immediately told Hua Changjue about it.
And urged him to find out the details from King Yan as soon as possible, and what Hua Qingqing needed to do!
Now the New Year is coming soon!
Hua Changjue was also a little worried when he heard this, and he rushed to the Prince of Yan's residence without stopping. After meeting the Prince of Yan, he asked directly about Qiu Mobai's whereabouts.
King Yan showed a hint of surprise on his face: "I didn't expect Qingqing to go with us?"
When Hua Changjue heard this, his heart tightened. Looking at the change in Prince Yan's expression, he felt that the matter might be very serious.
He quickly asked the King of Yan, "Your Majesty, do you know where they are going? Is it dangerous?"
King Yan sighed heavily, his heart filled with worry.
"Mo Bai told me before that he was going to Bianjing City to do some work, and he promised to return before the 30th!"
Having said that, King Yan had no idea what Mo Bai was doing.
In fact, deep down in his heart, King Yan was always worried about Qiu Mobai's safety.
However, he knew Qiu Mobai's character very well, and no one could stop him from making a decision.
Because of this, the King of Yan never revealed to everyone the relationship between Qiu Mobai and himself. So everyone didn't know that Qiu Mobai was the prince of Yan, the only heir of the King of Yan!
Everyone still thought that Qiu Mobai was just a businessman with too much money to spend.
The reason why King Yan acted so cautiously.
He was afraid that those people with ulterior motives would have evil thoughts towards Qiu Mobai after learning the truth, or even plot to murder him in secret.
After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable, and in a big forest, all kinds of birds will appear.
Not all the people who have joined King Yan’s army now are good people.
Among them are people with different intentions and agendas, some for fame, some for profit, or some other ulterior motives, who deliberately approach the King of Yan.
Just a few days ago, several aristocratic families expressed their willingness to swear allegiance to the King of Yan until death. At the same time, they even sent their unmarried daughters to him.
The intention is self-evident. Facing such a situation, the King of Yan needs to be more cautious.
King Yan thought of this and quickly told Hua Changjue, "No matter what they are going to do, their whereabouts must not be disclosed."
“That’s how we keep them safe.”
Hua Changjue nodded and quickly went back to tell Jiang. Jiang was also smart. She went back to scold the servants and continued to prepare things for the New Year as if nothing had happened.
Just wipe away the tears quietly in private.
Qiu Mobai and Hua Qingqing are here.
They sat in a carriage, dressed simply, pretending to be a pair of siblings going to Bianjing City to look for their relatives. The one driving the carriage was the brother and sister Jinsuo and Jinling.
From the outside, the carriage looked like a very ordinary carriage, but outsiders did not know that the inside of the carriage was magnificent, like a small automatic palace.
They have two important missions during this trip:
One is to find the last crucial treasure map to save Princess Zijin;
The second is to contact with the forces lurking in the city of Bianjing to discuss the next step of attacking the city of Bianjing, in order to minimize casualties.
During these five days, they traveled day and night without sleeping in the open air. In the middle of winter, they lived a comfortable life.
Jinling and Jinsuo ate the food with big mouthfuls and kept praising the food.
"This tastes absolutely amazing, even more delicious than the food in a big restaurant!"
They were extremely satisfied with the meals they had during the past few days, and they also enjoyed the snacks and beds they had during the past few days.
I just wonder how much stuff is packed in the master’s carriage!
Neither of them knew the secret.
In fact, all the food, daily necessities, and toiletries needed along the way were taken out by Qingqing from the secret realm.
Doing so not only saves the tedious procedures when checking into a restaurant or inn, but also effectively avoids attracting the attention of others.
Even the knowledgeable Qiu Mobai couldn't help but sigh again.
“Qingqing is truly a rare treasure that is indispensable for home and travel!”
They walked for five days.
When they finally arrived at the city gate of Bianjing, it was already midnight.
Qiu Mobai signaled to Jinsuo and Jinling to drive the carriage to a nearby grove and stop. He then told them to go to the city gate to inquire about the current situation.
After the two left, Qiu Mobai got off the carriage holding Hua Qingqing.
Qingqing stretched out her hand and lightly touched the carriage. In an instant, the entire carriage and the horses disappeared on the spot.
"Brother Qiu, it's done. We can set off now!" Qingqing said with a yawn, obviously very sleepy.
Qiu Mobai nodded and looked towards the place where the carriage was originally parked, which was now empty.
Although he knew what had happened, the scene before him still made him feel complicated.
He blinked and hugged Hua Qingqing carefully.
"Qingqing, it's getting late, and the ground is covered with rocks, weeds and tree roots. Let me carry you!"
"If you're sleepy, just go to sleep!"
Qiu Mobai said this as he walked steadily out of the woods.
It was the end of December, the night was dark and the air was freezing cold.
Although Hua Qingqing was wearing thick clothes, she could still feel a slight chill.
So she simply curled up and snuggled quietly in Qiu Mobai's warm embrace.
She doesn't plan to leave by herself!
He thought that by doing this, not only would he be warmer, but Qiu Mobai might also feel a little warmth.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Qiu!" After saying that, she yawned again!
Hua Qingqing was sleepy and just lay in Qiu Mobai's arms without moving.
Jinsuo and Jinling saw from afar Qiu Mobai carrying Hua Qingqing out of the woods, and they tiptoed forward and surrounded them.
Jinsuo frowned and spoke in a low voice.
"Master, we found that there are many guards guarding the city gate. If we go directly into the city, we will definitely be discovered!"
