Chapter 428 Traveling Together
"Lian Yi, don't be rude! The young master saved us, he is our benefactor, we should reward him generously, why are you asking for a reward from him?
I haven't punished you yet! Since you are my bodyguard, you should be cautious. How did you fall for such a trick? If you hadn't helped us, we don't know where we would have been sold to!"
Wang Zhenzhen's voice came from inside the carriage.
"Yes, Madam taught me that I was not careful enough. I thought it would be fine if I didn't eat the braised beef. I didn't expect that there were problems with the buns and the tea."
Lianyi immediately said with a look of regret.
Wang Zhenzhen then lifted the carriage curtain, helped Lianyi get out of the carriage, and said to the purple-robed gentleman:
"Sir, it was my maid who was rash. She learned some mediocre Kung Fu and thought she was good enough to protect me, so she took the job of guard and maid and went home with me to visit my family.
I didn't expect that I would be in trouble soon after setting out. Fortunately, you helped me and I didn't become a commodity. Please accept my greetings."
"You are too polite, ma'am. It's just a small favor. No need to be polite."
Purple-robed Master Qi gave Wang Zhenzhen a helping hand, but Lianyi was even faster. He didn't even let Aunt Zhen bow down. He quickly helped her up and asked:
"What's your name, sir? Any position?"
"My name is Qi Qi. I used to be the county magistrate of Fengshan County. Because my mother passed away, I have to observe mourning for three years. So I went back to my hometown with the detectives who were on duty outside. They can take care of me."
"I see. May I ask where Mr. Qi's ancestral home is?"
"Longxi."
"What a coincidence! I am also going to Longxi to visit my relatives. It seems that we are still very destined to meet."
Wang Zhenzhen said with a smile.
"So the Madam is also going to Longxi."
Qi Qi was surprised.
"Yes! If you don't mind, we can travel together! If we follow you, we can benefit from it, and those bad guys won't dare to attack us."
Ripples immediately climbed up the pole.
"this"
"Don't worry, Master Qi. We will definitely not cause you any trouble. My Kung Fu is not bad and I can protect my wife. It's just that I don't have enough experience in martial arts. That's why I followed your team to give myself some strength."
Lian Yi explained immediately.
Qi Qi glanced at the bright and lively woman, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He felt that she must be the kind of girl who had learned Kung Fu for two or three days and dreamed of roaming the world as a chivalrous woman.
"In that case, you can just follow the convoy. However, we have to hurry, so we won't stay for too long."
“It’s all little things.”
Lianyi immediately said that it was no problem, then slapped her driver on the face and forced him to wake up.
"Are you awake?"
"Why did I fall asleep?"
"You took drugs!"
"Ah? Then how come you guys are okay?"
"We were also infected, but we ate less. You ate two taels of braised beef. Did you forget?"
"The drug is in the meat?"
"It's in the tea and the buns, but the amount is small. You ate a lot, so you were dizzy the longest! You're not alert at all!"
"Then you guys were also infected, right?"
Wang Yaozu's voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared completely.
"Lianyi, why do you blame him? He was the one driving."
Wang Zhenzhen's words were even more heartbreaking, leaving Wang Yaozu breathless and with his face flushed.
"It's ok if you wake up. Drive the carriage and follow this young master. He saved us. We will go together on the rest of the way. He is also going to Longxi."
Lian Yi said immediately, and then glanced at Wang Yaozu, who immediately sat up straight, grabbed the small whip beside him, and said to Wang Zhenzhen:
"Mrs. Jane, please get in the car!"
Then the group of four went out of the forest, met up with the people on the official road, and set off for the next village or town.
Wang Yaozu drove his own carriage and fell at the end of the convoy. Then he asked in a low voice:
"Isn't it a coincidence that they are also going to Longxi?"
"They are returning to their ancestral home to observe mourning. I haven't asked you yet, why are you returning to Longxi?"
Lianyi rode the white dragon, followed the carriage, and chatted with Wang Yaozu.
"I received a letter from home saying that my father is not in good health and asked me to return as soon as possible."
Wang Yaozu said in a low voice.
After Lianyi heard this, she looked back at the carriage and continued to ask:
"Is he seriously ill? Do you want me to go back so that I can divide the family property?"
"have no idea!"
Wang Yaozu shook his head. His elder brother seldom told him about family matters, and he had not expected that his return home would lead to such dangerous situations.
"Don't worry! If you can afford the gold, I will definitely ensure that you are safely sent back to Longxi."
Lianyi comforted him with a smile.
Wang Yaozu sighed helplessly. He was already on board a pirate ship. What else could he do? He could only be a good coachman.
Qi Qi, who was sitting in the green cloth carriage in front, also had a thoughtful look on his face.
The reason he left the imperial city this time was to look for the treasure rumored in the martial arts world, and this treasure was related to the Wang family of Longxi, so he chose to go to Longxi first.
Qi Qi touched his face, a haze flashed in his eyes. As he grew older, his appearance also changed. He didn't care about it before, until one time when he went to report official business to His Majesty the Emperor and was seen by Princess Xiangyi who suddenly broke in, he was stuck with the dog-skin plaster.
That ugly Princess Xiangyi actually asked the emperor for him, wanting him to be her male concubine. Fortunately, he was saved by the leader of Group C, because he was the successor of the leader of Group C and would be in charge of His Majesty's intelligence system in the future. It took him eight years to get to this point, so how could he possibly be a male concubine for a disfigured princess.
The emperor valued talents, so he would naturally not let a useful person around him become his sister's male lover. He directly rejected Xiangyi's unreasonable request.
However, Xiang Yi kept looking for him, which made him very annoyed. He clearly remembered that a secret guard who died six years ago once told him that both his parents were killed by Xiang Yi. He did not kill her because she was in the imperial city, under the emperor's nose, otherwise he would have done it long ago.
Just in time, word spread that a treasure had appeared in the world, so the emperor asked their Group C to collect information as quickly as possible. It would be best if they could snatch the treasure from these people in the underworld.
This brings us to the question of why the emperor cared so much about this treasure, and Princess Xiangyi also contributed to this.
Princess Xiangyi went to the frontier to marry a prince twenty years ago, but within three years, the Mongolian king Tuoba Qi she married was killed by his own brothers. The brothers in power wanted to inherit everything from Tuoba Qi, including his wife Princess Xiangyi. However, Xiangyi felt that she was a royal princess and her property could not be inherited by anyone, so she returned to the Han area with her own guards.
Tuoba Han, who succeeded to the throne, was naturally unwilling to accept this, but at that time he had just killed his own brother and had not yet completely stabilized the situation of the Mongols. The tribe to which Tuoba Qi belonged simply recognized him as the new king of the Mongols and started a civil war with him.
When he found out that Princess Xiangyi had left, he sent people to chase her all the way to the border of Han territory. The general guarding the border was very strong and claimed that if the Mongolians dared to cross the border, they would be killed without mercy.
Tuoba Han's subordinates were very loyal and insisted on breaking through the border, but the general at the border ordered them to be shot to death.
See you tomorrow~
