The rest of the journey went much smoother. Perhaps it was the annihilation of the fifty people that made the people behind them fearful and stopped their suicidal actions.
When they arrived at the next larger county town, Lianyi and his party stayed directly in the best inn, planning to rest here for five days. They were not in a hurry to continue their journey. Manager Li and Mrs. Li did not dare to say a word and quietly stayed in the servants' room without a trace of reluctance.
Lianyi did not make things difficult for them because the two men and the remaining two guards were sensible. She just told Luo Ying to call Wen Lu and the captain of the guard over.
"After leaving this city, we will enter the capital. The capital is under the feet of the emperor, and the people there are the most capable of judging the dish by the situation.
We have been avoiding being ambushed all along the way, and now it seems that the other party should stop, so we have to change ourselves, otherwise we will really be poor relatives asking for money, and the people in the Li Mansion will look down on us even more. "
As he spoke, he took out two silver notes of five hundred taels from his sleeve pocket, pushed them in front of the guard captain Wu Meng, and directly ordered:
"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. You take everyone to change into a new outfit, prepare a set of clothes, and order a new carriage that suits my status. If your swords and sabers need to be repaired or replaced, I will do it all at the same time."
The captain immediately bowed and thanked:
"Thank you for your care, Miss. Wu Meng will do it right away."
"Keep a low profile and don't let anyone target you."
"Yes, Miss!"
Wu Meng put away the banknotes, left half of the people to look after the young lady, and the other half went out with him to do business.
"Aunt Wen, you and Luo Ying should go make a few new dresses for ourselves. It would be best if they were the popular styles in the capital. We cannot be outdone by the people in the Li Mansion. I want them to fawn over me and not dare to look at me coldly. Each of you should prepare two sets of jewelry, as long as you don't go beyond the limit."
This time, he directly gave Wen Lu two thousand taels of silver notes. Women's things are not cheap.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will take care of it. I will be out for the next two days, so let Minmin stay with you."
"Don't worry, Aunt Wen. I'm not a child. I won't run around."
Lianyi grinned. After arriving here, her spiritual sense had already scanned the entire county. After finding nothing unusual, she decided to spend money here.
"When spending money, avoid Manager Li, Mrs. Li, and the two guards."
Lian Yi added.
"Don't worry, Miss!"
Wen Lu was more steady and careful in her work. It took her three days to get everything done.
The night before departure, everyone upgraded their equipment and made new arrangements. Lianyi gathered all the people who were coming with them and made the final arrangements before entering Beijing.
"I am grateful to you all for escorting me all the way to the capital. Although you all sold your bodies to the Wu family, I don't want to treat you badly. After entering the capital, there are still many dangers, not only for me, but also for you. There are not only open guns but also hidden arrows in the capital. I hope everyone will be vigilant."
After saying this, Luo Ying followed Lian Yi's instructions and gave each guard a silver note worth one hundred taels.
"This is what you deserve. After I finish my business in the capital, you will have another reward. When you return to Jiangnan, you can redeem your indentures. This is my promise."
Lianyi did not forget to paint a rosy picture for these people. After all, these people survived because of her.
"We swear to be loyal to you till death, young lady!"
Although the journey was full of dangers, the young lady did not give up on any of the seriously injured guards. For them, this was already the best outcome.
When they set out to leave the county the next day, Steward Li and Mrs. Li looked at the brand new team and found that only the four of them seemed out of place. They realized that Miss Wu had been keeping a low profile before, but now that she was about to enter the capital, she had become more flamboyant.
After that, every time they arrived at a large town, their team would add one or two boxes, and the things they purchased gradually increased.
When Luo Ying saw the beautiful jewelry and head ornaments, she wanted to buy them to dress up her young lady. Before, because she was in mourning, her young lady's clothes had always been very plain, and there was no need for her to dress up at the farm. After she came out, she was being chased all the way, so she had no time to care about these things. Now that she was going to meet the Li family, she naturally had to dress up well.
Seven days later, Lianyi and his party successfully entered the gate of the capital. At this time, their team was already quite large, with a total of ten vehicles, all of which were full of boxes. They moved forward with the team entering the city.
Manager Li and Mrs. Li were so excited that they wanted to cry. They finally returned to the capital alive.
Manager Li didn't dare to leave Lianyi behind, so he could only send the two remaining guards to the Li Mansion to report the news. He and Mrs. Li slowly moved forward with the team, and beside Lianyi's carriage, they whispered about the situation in the capital.
Lianyi in the car had already released the spiritual sense of the foundation-building period, observing the entire capital city. Finally, the spiritual sense stopped in the direction of the imperial city, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
An emperor who was bent on seeking immortality, had one third of the true dragon energy protecting the imperial city devoured by the black evil energy. If this continues, once the golden true dragon energy is completely devoured, this dynasty will probably come to an end.
The end of a dynasty is nothing new. The people of the world are pitiful. They will probably have to go through another chaos of dynasty change. She can imagine how many people will die by then. The strong resentment will nourish evil spirits.
In addition, his original body was replaced and became the culprit who bore all the blame, and his death was so ugly, which made his resentment even greater.
This time she came to the capital three years later than her original incarnation, so she was well prepared and hoped she would still be in time.
"Miss, we've arrived at the Li residence!"
Luo Ying whispered to Lianyi who was closing her eyes to rest.
"Miss, they only opened the side door to welcome you."
Wen Lu's voice came from outside the carriage.
"I am a distinguished guest of the Li Mansion. How can they let me go through the side door? Aunt Wen, please go and open the main door."
"good!"
Wen Lu had long known from Manager Li that the reputation of the Li Mansion might be impressive outside, but it was at the bottom of the list in the capital. Moreover, these people were eyeing the young lady's wealth and were not good people either. So she did not have any concerns and kicked the red door hard, and it was kicked open directly.
The gatekeeper of Li's mansion was thinking about earning some reward money, so even if he opened the side door, he only opened it halfway. Who knew that the other party had no intention of going through the side door at all.
After the heavy door was kicked open, Wen Lu just waved her hand, and the Wu family guards stepped forward and removed the door. Chu Liangchen snorted coldly, raised the small whip in his hand, and the horse stepped into the gate, followed by the remaining carriages.
Because of the commotion here, many people were watching around, all of them were surprised that there was such an arrogant person, and Minmin, who was left behind, stood outside the door and said loudly:
"My daughter is a cousin of the Li family and has lived in Jiangnan for a long time. This time, in order to understand the difficulties of the Li family, I brought all my family property to visit the Li family and hold a coming-of-age ceremony. I invite all the neighbors to watch the ceremony."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a handful of copper coins were thrown out, and he threw three handfuls in a row. The front of Li's mansion was extremely lively for a while, and the news that Wu Lianyi had arrived at Li's mansion also spread, and at the same time, her wealth also spread.
