As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw Zhao Tongpan with a dark face.
"Master Zhao!"
Qi Zhiyong grabbed the reins and clasped his fists towards Zhao Tongpan.
Zhao Tongpan raised his hand and bowed casually, then glanced at the six people following Qi Zhiyong, frowning slightly.
"Master Qi, are you preparing to...?"
Zhao Tongpan's eyes swept across the packages carried by several people, his eyes full of confusion.
Qi Zhiyong smiled and patted the bag on his body.
"I am under orders from Lord Liu to go to Fire Extinguishing City to sell some refined salt."
Judge Zhao let out a long "Oh" and a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
This scared him so much that he thought Qi Zhiyong had moved into Qianhuang City.
"Then Master Qi will have to trouble you."
Judge Zhao looked at Qi Zhiyong with a smile.
Who would have thought that the little guard who was guarding the gate before would have such a transformation that he would have to politely call him "Sir".
Qi Zhiyong smiled faintly, his eyes fell on the carriage, and he asked doubtfully,
"Why didn't the people in this carriage stay in Qianhuang City?"
From what he heard on the intercom, the person in the carriage should be an old acquaintance of Qian Huangwang, a woman.
His gossipy heart was aroused at that time.
Unfortunately, King Qianhuang and Ji Yongjia didn't say much and hung up the intercom.
Judging from the time, Zhao Tongpan should have arrived in Qianhuang City in the morning.
It’s almost noon now, why don’t we stay in Qianhuang City for lunch?
Zhao Tongpan looked at Qi Zhiyong's curious expression and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
What else could he say? He was too embarrassed to say that he was just flattering someone.
"Oh, how could I know so much about this prince's affairs?"
"By the way, I saw that Master Qi was in a hurry just now. Is there anything urgent?"
Judge Zhao quickly changed the subject.
As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he heard the sound of fierce horse hooves in the distance.
He's running so fast, it can't be just selling salt, right?
Qi Zhiyong was startled and apologized to Zhao Tongpan.
"I almost forgot what Brother Ji entrusted me with. I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Qi Zhiyong rode his horse straight to the city gate.
Seven horses galloped at the same time, raising a cloud of dust that covered Zhao Tongpan's mouth.
"he~~tui~~"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft~~"
Zhao Tongpan frowned and spat out a few mouthfuls of dust, then complained,
"What's the matter? Please tell me. I just asked you all sorts of questions but you didn't seem anxious..."
Zhao Tongpan glanced at the carriage with a gloomy look and rolled his eyes.
"Walk!!"
I have to bring this bad luck back to Bailong City.
He actually wanted to throw the person away halfway, for he was afraid that Ran Xiangyu would run back to Qianhuang City and disturb King Qianhuang, and then he would be blamed.
It’s better to bring her back to Bailong City and discuss with Lord Liu how to place her.
Inside the carriage, Nanny Zhang held the unconscious Ran Xiangyu in her arms, listening to the conversation outside the carriage, her face covered with tears.
After going through so much trouble to reach Qianhuang City, he ended up like this.
Hey~~
It must be because the eldest daughter said something too harsh when she went to cancel the engagement...
.......
Qi Zhiyong entered Qianhuang City and went straight to the prefectural government office without delaying for a moment.
"Your Majesty, Qi Zhiyong requests an audience!"
Shen Yong, who was looking at the blueprint, looked up at Sun Ren with a frown, "Bring it in."
What's going on today? Why are people in Bailong City so idle?
Zhao Tongpan came early in the morning, and just after lunch, Qi Zhiyong came.
Shen Yong glanced at the intercom on the table.
Is there anything that can’t be said over the intercom that requires a special trip?
Just as Shen Yong was thinking, Qi Zhiyong followed Sun Ren into the study.
"This subordinate greets His Majesty!"
Qi Zhiyong knelt down and saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite." Chen Yong raised his hand. "What is it?"
Qi Zhiyong thanked him and stood up to look at Chen Yong, "Your Highness, more than an hour ago, Lord Ji shouted anxiously on the intercom for a long time."
"He said he had something important to report to the prince."
Shen Yong frowned, picked up the intercom, looked at it, and turned on the switch.
Why is it Ji Yongjia again? Who is here at the city gate?
After the intercom was turned on, Shen Yong waved to Qi Zhiyong.
Qi Zhiyong nodded and tactfully retreated.
The moment Qi Zhiyong left the study, Ji Yongjia's voice came from the intercom.
"Your Highness, this morning, the leader of the secret guards, Tian Hong, led two secret guards to Qianhuang City."
Shen Yong was startled, curled his lips into a smile, and put down the walkie-talkie.
Oh!
Emperor Tianwu is really persistent.
They knew he was in Qianhuang City so quickly and even sent the leader of the secret guards over. It seems they value him very much.
Judging from the time, the earliest the leader of the secret guards will arrive in Qianhuang City is tomorrow afternoon.
Shen Yong thought about it carefully and decided to wait at the city gate at noon tomorrow.
This group of people cannot be allowed into Qianhuang City.
.......
Night falls...
Ran Xiangyu woke up in the shaking carriage with a frown on her face.
When I opened my eyelids, I saw Aunt Zhang’s swollen eyes from crying.
“Nurse…”
Ran Xiangyu cried out weakly and raised her hand to rub the swollen and painful back of her neck.
"Miss!!!"
Aunt Zhang looked at Ran Xiangyu who had just woken up and shouted excitedly,
"You are finally awake. I was so scared."
The young lady had been unconscious for most of the day. If she hadn't been breathing weakly, she would have thought she was dead.
Ran Xiangyu sat up with the help of Nanny Zhang.
“Hiss~~”
When she lifted her neck, Ran Xiangyu gasped in pain.
Aunt Zhang quickly reached up and gently rubbed Ran Xiangyu's purple neck, her eyes full of heartache.
“That’s too cruel…”
Ran Xiangyu gritted her teeth, opened the car window, and frowned.
"Where are we?"
"Leaving Qianhuang City?"
It was pitch black outside, and all I could see was the surrounding black mountains receding.
Aunt Zhang sighed helplessly, "Well, we're already halfway there."
It seemed that Zhao Tongpan was very angry. He didn't rest for the whole day and just kept on rushing on his way.
When Ran Xiangyu heard this, she shouted out the window, "Stop!"
“Stop!”
"Bang bang bang!" Ran Xiangyu slammed the car window with both hands.
“Ouch~”
Tired, Zhao Tongpan grabbed the horse's reins and walked back to the carriage window.
"What are you making such a fuss about? Do you want to live?!"
Zhao Tongpan looked at Ran Xiangyu who was leaning against the car window and shouting with annoyance.
This is a hot potato that can’t be thrown away or hit.
Along the way, he based his thoughts on the conversation between the Third Lady and Ran Xiangyu, as well as what the servants said.
Ran Xiangyu was indeed engaged to King Qianhuang.
But the two families seemed to have fallen out, but it was not to the point of wanting the other to die.
So he didn't dare to attack Ran Xiangyu, and he didn't dare to leave her on the road.
