Chapter 159 The Peerless Prince
After all the people gathered together, the team grew a lot. Including the girls, there were more than 400 people in total.
They were a large group, so when the other refugee groups saw them, they didn't dare to approach and harass them.
After walking for another half a day, we were almost out of Pingcheng. After passing through a place called Qingshi Town, we would be back to the capital.
At this time, there were fewer and fewer refugees.
In the evening, they finally arrived at Qingshi Town and planned to stay overnight in the town.
Lin Pianran also knew this town, because it was a must-pass place to enter Beijing, and all merchants traveling back and forth had to stop here temporarily. This town was very prosperous, not inferior to the capital.
Lin Pianran felt a bit of a headache when she thought about arranging food and lodging for so many people. She chuckled and asked, "With so many of us, how are we going to find a place to rest?"
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess and Wang Fanghua looked at each other and smiled gently.
Lin Pianran was very puzzled.
Then I heard Jing Yu explain beside me, "This town is very close to the capital, and the surrounding land is extremely fertile."
"Many royal relatives and high-ranking officials in the court have their own manors and fertile fields around here."
"The eldest princess and Madam Wang also have farms nearby. The princess's farm is not far from here."
He turned his head again and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was silent and smiling faintly.
Then he continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a very large manor, not far from here..."
After hearing this, Lin Pianran suddenly understood.
She looked at Huo Yuchen, wanting to hear his explanation.
Huo Yuchen came over, took her little hand, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Jingyu is right, but it's not complete."
"I have two farms here, an orchard, and a large piece of fertile land."
"So, even with these hundreds of people, meals and accommodations for the evening won't be a problem, and they can all be arranged very appropriately."
"Also, the most prosperous 'Yufu Building' here is also under my name. It is just one of my many businesses."
"Let Jingyun and Jingfeng take care of the rest of the Black Cloud Guards and the girls. We'll stay in Yufulou today. Tomorrow, have the shopkeeper arrange a carriage, and we'll be able to enter the capital smoothly."
Lin Pianran didn't expect that "Yufulou" was actually Huo Yuchen's property.
"Yufulou" is a well-known restaurant in the capital. Anyone with some status and position would show off his or her status by having a meal at "Yufulou".
Of course, the higher the grade, the more expensive the price.
"Yufulou" is one of the most famous restaurants in the Qin State. Each "Yufulou" has at least four floors and covers a large area, which can accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time.
Even though the prices are a bit high, Yufulou's business is still astonishingly good. It is often packed with people and even if you make a reservation three days in advance, you may not be able to get a seat!
"Yufulou" is a chain restaurant with one in every major city in the Qin Kingdom. It can be said to be the number one restaurant.
It seems that Huo Yuchen has a pretty good business acumen.
He must be a wealthy man and has no shortage of money.
However, when he thought about the fact that Huo Yuchen had so many Black Cloud Guards, he gave up the idea.
After entering Qingshi Town, everyone went their separate ways.
Wang Fanghua took Hua Mingxuan and Hua Minglan to their own farm and took away more than 30 girls to settle down.
The others were taken to the eldest princess's farm by the eldest princess and Shen Mubai to settle down.
Lin Pianran was abducted by Huo Yuchen to "Yufulou".
When the owner of "Yufulou" saw Huo Yuchen, he hurried forward and greeted him respectfully.
"This old servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Huo Yuchen waved his hand and said softly, "Tell someone to quickly prepare some delicious food and send it to the VIP room on the fourth floor. Also prepare some clothes and hot water and send them over!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The shopkeeper looked at Lin Pianran, who was holding the hand of Huo Yuchen, with a face full of curiosity, but he stuck to his duty and did not dare to ask more questions.
Huo Yuchen then added, "This is the future Crown Princess Lin Pianran. The imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued. From now on, you must respect her as you would me, and not neglect her in the slightest."
"Yes, yes, I will pass it on immediately...I will obey your orders..."
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was not very tall and was very thin. He walked with a brisk pace and looked extremely smart and capable, with his eyes sparkling.
Lin Pianran nodded to the shopkeeper as a greeting.
Huo Yuchen took Lin Pianran's hand and went straight to the fourth floor.
Opening the door, a quaint yet exquisite and luxurious room appeared, which was very spacious.
The two walked in one after the other.
The room's tones are cool and dark, but the decoration is extremely luxurious and grand. The furniture and ornaments inside are all top-quality and extremely expensive.
Not long after they sat down and finished their cup of tea, two maids came in carrying various exquisite foods.
Soon, a table was filled with various exquisite dishes and snacks, which looked very appetizing.
Huo Yuchen pulled Lin Pianran to sit at the table, and personally took a wet towel to wash her hands, which made Lin Pianran a little flattered and even a little embarrassed.
Sometimes she felt that Huo Yuchen was so nice to her that she could hardly bear it.
But in front of the powerful Huo Yuchen, her struggle was of no use at all.
Lin Pianran had no choice but to let it go.
After washing their hands, the two sat at the table and ate quietly.
The wealthy and powerful families are very particular about eating, and follow the rules of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
It was a rare opportunity to eat delicious food, so Lin Pianran enjoyed the meal very much.
You also need to eat more than usual.
After eating, Huo Yuchen went out as he still had a lot of things to deal with.
At this time Jingyu appeared at the right time. She asked the maid to prepare bath water and clothes, and arranged everything very thoughtfully and meticulously.
After taking a shower and changing into clean new clothes, it was already the hour of Hai.
At this time, Huo Yuchen had not returned yet.
After days of hard work, Lin Pianran had no energy to do anything else and fell asleep as soon as she got into the quilt.
*****
Prince Chang and Prince Qi led two thousand royal guards to search for the missing girl. They traveled for a whole day, but apart from seeing many refugees, they still couldn't find any trace of the men in black.
I didn't have much dry food with me, and I was tired and hungry.
Prince Chang suggested, "We've been searching all day and found nothing. Why don't we go back and report back first, and then make other plans."
The King of Qi naturally would not object.
But unexpectedly, on their way back, they were stopped by men in black.
Looking closely, those men in black formed a large mass.
Prince Chang's heart sank suddenly.
