Neither Wei Qing nor Li Wan were indecisive people, so now that they had made the decision, they would do it boldly.
They faced all the risks together.
Mei Ji took the four little ones to play in the yard, while Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting returned to the next room.
Li Wan was in a daze.
Wei Qing pushed the wheelchair over and gently held her hand: "What are you thinking about?"
Li Wan regained consciousness and pinched his slender jade-like fingertips: "I was just wondering, if we set out tomorrow, when will we be able to reach the capital?"
"Ten days." Wei Qing said. Seeing that Li Wan looked a little disappointed, he asked, "Is Xianxian worried about me?"
"I..." Li Wan opened her mouth, "The Saint Maiden Palace is so powerful, I'm afraid it's not easy to get the snake bone flower."
Wei Qing smiled and said, "There will be a way."
Li Wan changed her usual shyness and took the initiative to lean into his arms, holding his hand lovingly: "I don't want to lose you again."
Wei Qing stroked her hair gently: "Xianxian will not lose me, and I will not leave Xianxian."
Li Wan closed her eyes: "Well, don't leave me and Xiyue again."
Wei Qing looked toward the endless night and said softly, "Okay."
…
Night fell, covering the entire world.
Although the capital city was still chilly in February this year, southern Xinjiang had already entered a mild climate.
Xiao Shunyang and his men finally got rid of the robbers, but it was pitch dark and they couldn't tell the direction at all. They got lost in the mountains. What was worse was that Wei Ting and Zhuge Qing were nowhere to be seen.
"Your Highness, did they do this on purpose?"
"Yes, Your Highness, they were the ones who sent the robbers here, right? Otherwise, how could they have escaped and left us alone to feed the robbers?"
"Where are they escaping to? The pass is with us. They can't even get to the capital!"
Xiao Shunyang sat on a rock, a hint of complexity flashing across his deep eyes.
"Stop talking, you guys!"
The leading guard scolded, and the others shut up.
Xiao Shunyang wiped the blood off the sword and thrust it back into the scabbard! "Rest here and find a way out when the sun rises."
"yes!"
…
At noon on the second day, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting arrived at Jinxiu Cloth Shop as agreed.
Zheng Hai has arranged their household registration and travel permits based on their specific circumstances.
"Sir, you are going to the capital to do business. I have asked someone to prepare the cloth. Someone will pick you up when you arrive in the capital."
Wei Ting took the household registration and said, "Thank you."
Zheng Hai smiled and said, "It should be."
Su Xiaoxiao said to Zheng Hai: "We'll leave first."
Zheng Hai personally escorted the two to the carriage: "Have a good time."
He looked at the convoy going away and murmured, "Boss, are they the ones you chose? Can they... really accomplish anything?"
Ten days later.
The group arrived at the capital of Southern Xinjiang.
It was getting late, and the city gates were about to be closed.
"Don't turn it off, don't turn it off, don't turn it off!"
Fusu drove the carriage all the way and slammed on the brakes at the city gate. Fortunately, Yuchi Xiu was not there, otherwise he would have fallen and turned into a big toad.
Fusu jumped off the carriage and said, "Two officers, we want to go into the city."
A guard guarding the city said unceremoniously: "Come back tomorrow!"
"Please be flexible." Fusu took out the silver.
Who would have thought that money is not useful.
"Hey, what's wrong with you two masters? Why did you stop our carriage?"
Along with this delicate voice, an extremely charming woman slowly walked down from the second carriage.
She was wearing a bright and attractive purple waisted wide-sleeved fairy dress. Her waist was soft and slender, incredibly proud upwards and fascinatingly curvy downwards.
The half-covered and half-exposed collar, hidden by the tulle, brings out her charm to the extreme.
Mei Ji's folding fan half-covered her face, and she said charmingly, "My Lords, my family and I would like to go into the city. Can you give us some convenience?"
The two nodded repeatedly: "Convenient! Convenient!"
"Thank you very much."
After Mei Ji Yingying finished speaking, she turned around, finished her business in a second, rolled her eyes in a Mei-style manner, and got on the carriage.
After entering the city, I had only taken a few steps when someone came to pick me up.
He walked forward, stopped Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao's carriage, and asked, "Excuse me, are you from Fenghuang Town?"
Wei Ting opened the curtain, looked at him, and said, "Yes."
The man asked again: "Do you have a token?"
Su Xiaoxiao handed the jade ring to Wei Ting.
Wei Ting showed him the jade ring.
The man hurriedly said, "Please follow me!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How did you recognize us?"
The man smiled and said, "I recognized the carriage from Jinxiu Cloth Shop."
Zheng Hai prepared a carriage for them. The carriage looked ordinary, but there were patterns and emblems on the canopy that only they could understand.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and sat back in the carriage.
The man came on horseback. He climbed on the horse and led the way.
The capital of Southern Xinjiang was a prosperous place with shops lined up one after another and the streets filled with hawkers and a constant stream of pedestrians.
They were busy checking in and had no time to appreciate the night view of the capital of Southern Xinjiang.
The man led them through the busy long street, into a secluded alley, and dismounted in front of a courtyard at the end.
The man's name is Deng Huan, and he is Zheng Hai's distant cousin.
Before they set off, Zheng Hai ordered someone to deliver a letter to him as quickly as possible. He already knew the purpose of Su Xiaoxiao and her group's trip.
He pushed open the gate and said, "The boss bought this courtyard three years ago. The original layout was not like this, but the boss had it modified. This place is not far from the Cheng family, so it is convenient to take care of it."
How old was the spy chief three years ago?
Seventeen?
By then, he had already expanded his power to the capital of Southern Xinjiang? Could it be that he had started playing the game of chess with the Cheng family three years ago? The courtyard was transformed into the second courtyard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a total of six side rooms and two study rooms, which was enough for them to live in.
Deng Huan also prepared two maids to serve them: "My two lords and two ladies, please rest assured, they are trustworthy people."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Thank you for your help."
Deng called out, "I'm in the coffin shop in front. Call me if you need anything."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Your boss also sells coffins?"
Deng Huan smiled and said, "The boss said that the coffin shop is very taboo, and most people won't come here, so it's convenient for them to do things and hide."
Yes, in a place like the royal capital where every inch of land is valuable, any shop is precious.
If your business is too popular, people will be paying attention to you; if you have no business, people will also be paying attention to you.
Only the coffin shop was not robbed.
Su Xiaoxiao said that she had learned something new. Just based on the spy chief's unique way of thinking, he would have been a big shot in his previous life.
The two little maids, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Wan, accepted it.
Wei Qing and Li Wan lived in the east wing of the second courtyard. They originally planned to live in the west wing, but Wei Qing was in poor health, so Su Xiaoxiao insisted on giving him the room with the best lighting and ventilation.
Wei Ting, Su Xiaoxiao and their three children lived in the west wing.
Mei Ji lived in the small west wing next door.
The rest of the people lived in the front rooms.
The three little guys were tired today and went to bed early.
They will go to Cheng's house to meet their relatives early tomorrow morning, so Su Xiaoxiao also hurried to rest.
As soon as she lay down, she remembered something.
The third tip !
