Chapter 325: Just guessing
"Madam, where do you get this from?" Qin Yi and Qin Shiliu spoke at the same time.
"Has the Marquis sent any message back in the past two days? According to his previous deployment, where is he now?" Su Qianqian asked instead of answering.
"The Marquis has indeed not sent any message back. He should be in... Yunhe Mountain now." Qin Yi said after a moment of hesitation.
"But if we encounter some difficult problems, there is a chance of delay, and even if we send a message, it won't be so fast..."
Qin Yi went on to say that with the men Qin Hanzhang brought, dealing with some scattered militiamen from underworld organizations would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and it would not be dangerous at all.
"Okay, I understand. You can go back, Sixteen. Gather the ten guards that the Marquis left for me, and follow me out of the city in secret."
Su Qianqian didn't want to say anything more. It was enough that she knew the location. She could definitely go in that direction.
Qin Yi didn't move, watching Su Qianqian take out the map, find the location of Yunhe Mountain, and calculate the time.
"The time it takes to replenish food and fodder by galloping at high speed will take... two days, at least two days! Xue Ke..." Su Qianqian looked up at Xue Ke.
"Madam!" Xue Ke immediately straightened his chest.
"After you leave the city, you will take a car and pretend to be me. You don't need to see anyone in the car. Just hand the document to the gatekeeper. If you are discovered, tell me that I was ordered to investigate the case secretly and hide my whereabouts."
"Do we want to follow Madam's direction and go to Pingyu Yunhe Mountain?" Xue Ke asked.
"Yes, just keep going in this direction. If I have finished my business, I will return along the way to find you."
Su Qianqian put away the map. Although she was road-blind, the guards were definitely not. In an era without navigation and instant messaging tools, everything had to be arranged in advance and planned.
"Okay!" Xue Ke took the order and went to prepare. Qin Shiliu then hurriedly clasped his fists and agreed, then flew out before Xue Ke.
Qin Yi saw that Su Qianqian had packed the map and was ready to leave, and looked at him as if asking: Sir, why aren't you going out yet?
"Why does Madam feel that the Marquis is in danger?" Qin Yi looked solemnly, staring directly at Su Qianqian.
"Intuition... is just a guess." Su Qianqian answered calmly.
Qin Yi's expression was cracked, and she couldn't help but clench her teeth: "Madam, are you going to go look for the Marquis just based on a guess?"
"Yes, the life of the Marquis is related to the rise and fall of the entire Wuning Marquisate, and is also directly related to my future life. The word "guess" is enough."
Su Qianqian replied and waved to Qin Yi, asking him to leave.
Qin Yi was so angry that she said, "Madam is just as the rumors say. Her words and actions are wanton and have no rules!" Then she turned away.
"This is clearly a compliment to me!" Su Qianqian shook her head and walked out of the study and returned to Tinglan Courtyard.
He changed into a tight-fitting suit for riding and put on a robe. The space was already fully equipped, the most important of which was first aid medicine. He also took out the best ginseng from his private storage and put it into the space.
The scene in the dream made her quicken her pace. Several maids sent her to the second gate, where ten secret guards and Qin Shiliu were already waiting, as well as Mrs. Du and the two old ladies. The other members of the Qin family were not alarmed.
"Take my horse out of the city and wait for me first." Su Qianqian instructed Qin Shiliu. Qin Shiliu took the order and quickly disappeared with the secret guards.
"Qianqian, can you let us follow you quietly?" The third old lady whispered, pulling open her collar to reveal the tights underneath.
"Third Aunt, I am just going to investigate the case. Now that Lu Jing is doomed, the Princess is too busy to deal with him. She will never have the chance to cause trouble for me, so don't worry. Just cover up for me in the mansion."
Su Qianqian comforted the third old lady, then picked up her robe and got into the carriage. When Mrs. Du looked at Su Qianqian's feet, her heart tightened and her brows tightened.
"Qianqian, remember what mother said, always put yourself first, and never think about sacrificing yourself for justice, those are not things you should do."
Mrs. Du suddenly stopped the carriage and chased after him, holding the window and giving another instruction.
"I understand, Mom." Su Qianqian nodded and agreed softly.
Xue Ke was sitting in the carriage, and the master and servant were traveling lightly, and it was not yet midnight.
When leaving the city, he happened to meet Su Qianqian's second uncle, the city gate officer. However, he did not know Su Qian. After looking at the document, he knew who he was and nodded and let him pass.
After another stick of incense, Qin Shiliu came out from the woods beside the road, leading a little white horse. The carriage stopped. Su Qianqian took off her outer robe and gave it to Xue Ke, then put on her fur cape and got out of the carriage. She gently rubbed the horse's mane and whispered in its ear:
"Xiao Bai, you've gained weight even more as the weather gets colder. Why don't you go out for a run and lose some weight so I can find you a good partner? How about that? Work hard, leave early, and go home to hold an engagement party!"
[Bah, you only know how to make empty promises...] The system expressed disdain for Su Qianqian's behavior.
Xiaobai seemed very happy and snorted loudly towards the sky.
Su Qianqian climbed onto the horse and took out her equipment from her arms. She wrapped an oversized scarf around her head and neck completely, leaving only a pair of dark eyes exposed.
Qin Shiliu and the secret guards were stunned. It looked like he was seriously injured.
"Crude!" Su Qianqian's mouth was wrapped tightly, so her words were unclear. She pointed forward with her gloved hand and galloped on the horse.
The eleven people came to their senses and immediately followed, and the group moved forward at lightning speed.
Even if he was wearing a bulletproof vest and a down vest inside, and his head was wrapped like a dumpling, the cold wind whistled past and quickly penetrated his clothes.
The sky gradually darkened and sweat broke out on the little white horse. Su Qianqian already felt sore in her legs and her body was very tired.
But according to the time limit, she didn't dare to stop to rest, she had to persevere for a while and set a new goal for herself.
I don’t know how long they walked, Su Qianqian felt her body numb, the little white horse began to slow down, and its breathing became heavier. Su Qianqian wanted to raise her hand to signal to stop, but her arm didn’t rise, so she could only hold the reins.
The secret guards behind whistled, and the people in front stopped and returned. Su Qianqian dismounted and asked everyone to rest in the small pine forest nearby. She fed the horses with grass, and everyone also ate some dry food and drank some water.
These secret guards had long been accustomed to long-distance marches, so they didn't feel anything, but they did feel that the horses needed to be fed with grass. When Qin Shiliu looked at Su Qianqian again, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Husband... Lord Su, it is common for our subordinates to travel at night, but Lord Su..."
Qin Shiliu stopped talking suddenly before he finished speaking. With a whistle, all the secret guards immediately took Su Qianqian and hid in the small pine forest, looking at the mountain road outside the pine forest with vigilance.
Gradually, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard, and the horse moved forward for a distance and then returned, followed by the same whistle.
"Lord Su, he is our man!" Qin Shiliu reported in a low voice and did not act on his own.
"Let's go and take a look." Su Qianqian stood up and walked out of the pine forest with the secret guards.
"Military Advisor Qin!" Qin Shiliu exclaimed in surprise, but Su Qianqian could not recognize the dark shadows at all.
"Are you going to reach Yunhe Mountain tonight? I'm so tired!" Qin Yi dismounted and walked over, his body a little shaky.
