"Sir, were you my father's client before? Only my father and I travel this mountain road. Most people don't know about it." The young groom asked Xu Xiaoyi while controlling his horse:
After hearing this, Xu Xiaoyi suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then asked:
"Brother, who is your father?"
The young groom sighed after hearing this, and then said sadly:
"Oh, don't say anymore. My father is dead. When I was away, the court arrested him for some unknown reason. When I returned, all that was left was his corpse. I reported it to the authorities, but it was useless. I hate my lowly status! I don't even know who killed my father. I feel so sorry for my father's kindness in raising me. Young Master, you also feel so sorry for me, right?"
Xu Xiaoyi fell silent. He sat in the carriage with a dark face and held his forehead. Damn it, how did he end up sitting in the carriage of the coachman's son? How could he and his son be so lucky?
Xu Xiaoyi didn't dare to respond. The person who killed your father is in your car. What if he gets furious and rushes off the cliff and dies with me?
Although this mountain road is fast, its disadvantage is that it is extremely bumpy. Xu Xiaoyi was constantly tossed up and down. He grabbed the window, opened the curtains and looked out. He didn't know what he saw until he saw it.
Grandma Li, they are actually walking on a cliff. Xu Xiaoyi looked at the scenery below and his palms were sweating with fear. Then he closed the window curtains. At least it was safe as long as he couldn't see anything.
At this time, Lin Shengwan was still flipping through Xu Xiaoyi's "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in the room. When she was immersed in the ocean of poetry, there was an anxious knock on the door.
When she heard the voice, she knew it was Xiaolian. She said with a little displeasure:
"Xiaolian, come in."
Xiaolian immediately broke into the room and came to Lin Shengwan anxiously. Seeing this, Lin Shengwan felt that something was wrong.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Xiaolian took a breath and pointed in the direction of the Prince Consort's Mansion outside the door and shouted:
"Princess! It's bad! The prince consort ran away again!"
"What?!" Lin Shengwan stood up from her chair in shock.
"Isn't someone watching him?"
"He knocked out the two guards who were guarding him."
Lin Shengwan immediately set off for the Prince Consort's Mansion. The two men with bleeding heads immediately knelt in front of the princess. Behind them, Luo Qingcheng was still standing there.
Lin Shengwan anxiously asked Luo Qingcheng:
"Where is Xu Xiaoyiren?"
Luo Qingcheng replied to her calmly:
"He's already on his way back to Xiqing County."
Lin Shengwan frowned in confusion and asked her:
"Aren't you an expert? How did Xu Xiaoyi escape your surveillance and run away?"
"I let him go."
Lin Shengwan couldn't believe the answer, so she stepped forward and asked:
"Why let him go?!"
Luo Qingcheng did not answer, but closed her eyes and stood there, ignoring Lin Shengwan.
Lin Shengwan couldn't wait for an answer, her eyes turned red and tears of grievance were about to flow. She had brought him back with great difficulty, and now she let him go. Could he be going to find the Princess of Qi?
Lin Shengwan immediately found someone, got on a carriage, and headed for Xiqing County regardless of any obstruction or consequences.
At this time, Qu Xing emerged from the darkness and came to Luo Qingcheng's side. He took out the lock from his arms and said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, Lord Luo."
"Um."
………
At this moment, Lin Tianlong looked at Luo Qingcheng who was imprisoned in the prison, with a face full of speechlessness. Only she, a secret guard, dared to ignore me like this. Lin Tianlong frowned and asked her:
"Why did you let Xu Xiaoyi go? You have to give me an explanation!"
"Bai Qihe let Fang Taimin go back on purpose." Luo Qingcheng said with her eyes closed. She was very dissatisfied with this and even felt guilty towards Xu Xiaoyi.
Lin Tianlong roared:
"What does this have to do with you letting him go? Don't think I don't dare to kill you!"
Luo Qingcheng was not afraid, but replied with unwavering aura:
"Your Majesty, please make yourself at your leisure."
When Lin Tianlong heard this, he wanted to draw his sword and kill Luo Qingcheng, but he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, complaining in his heart:
Why should I suffer the consequences of Lao Xu's romantic debt? I should have never agreed to that request.
She was usually quite obedient, so why was she so stubborn today? Could it be that she had been with Xu Xiaoyi for too long?
"Let me ask you, what is Xu Xiaoyi going to do when he returns?" Lin Tianlong said after taking a breath:
"The missing princess of Qi is in Xiqing County, but Bai Qihe released Fang Taimin, the person who knew about this. I'm afraid Xiqing County has suffered a great disaster."
"The Princess of Qi is in Xiqing County? Why didn't you report this to me? And do you mean that General Bai also knows about this?"
Luo Qingcheng did not respond, which made Lin Tianlong very angry. Being an emperor was so frustrating. He really wanted to drag Old Xu up and chop him to death!
Lin Tianlong returned to the palace filled with anger and confusion. He kept sending his secret guards to gather information. Qu Xing then appeared before him, knelt down, and reported:
The Qi army attacked Xiqing County.
Lin Tianlong was furious, and he slammed the table angrily, throwing the things on the table to the ground.
"These Qi people are so despicable! It seems that the Princess of Qi has been taken away. They dared to provoke me like this. It seems that they will have to taste the consequences!"
………
The path was very fast, and the carriage arrived at Xiqing County in just over a day. Before Xu Xiaoyi dismounted, he took out a small gold bar from his arms and gave it to the young coachman, telling him not to return to the imperial city, but to settle down somewhere else and get married.
When the young groom saw the gold bars, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he nodded excitedly. It was not known whether he heard it or not. He thanked the emperor and drove the carriage away quickly.
Xu Xiaoyi sighed as he looked at the familiar scene. History always repeats itself in a surprising way. Then he turned around and his body immediately shook. How come the gate of Xiqing County was burned to charcoal?
He immediately walked inside. It was a mess. The walls were covered in blood, and many concrete houses were burned black. What happened? Xu Xiaoyi continued to look around.
Everyone who saw it looked listless, completely lacking the passion and energy that Xu Xiaoyi had just shown when he left.
Are you sure they were in high spirits at the time?
He immediately stepped forward and grabbed a man who was cleaning the roadside and asked what happened in Xiqing County.
The man raised his head unhappily after being pulled, and then a handsome man appeared in his sight. The man instantly shed tears and hugged Xu Xiaoyi's thigh excitedly, then shouted loudly to the people around him:
"Sir, it's the lord who has returned!"
Everyone was instantly attracted by these words and surrounded Xu Xiaoyi. Everyone burst into tears. After these days, they found that Xiqing County without Xu Xiaoyi was not Xiqing County at all.
"Sir! Are you back to avenge us?"
"My lord, you are finally back."
Xu Xiaoyi was annoyed by the people around him, and then he continued to ask the man who was hugging his thigh:
