Chapter 518: All the Way
Zhiruo's team is not huge, Zhiruo brought Ruchun, Rudong, Qiangbo, Mo Forget, Ming Ze's four brothers and sisters each brought a portable little maid, plus the eight guards selected by Mo Forget, by the way, and Liang Dashan, who happened to be with them, and Bai Xue, who was inseparable from Xiao Xuan'er.
The Mingze brothers were reluctant to take the carriage, and Zhiruo also followed them, anyway, the two younger brothers, together with Shi Xiaofeng and Nansheng, who were waiting for them, were now riding very well, and they had almost always ridden horses in the past six months.
There are a total of five carriages, one Zhiruo, one Zhihui Zhixuan, one Liu Dianguan of Qiangbotong Prefect's Yamen, one luggage, and a small carriage for spare.
Liu Dian's name is Liu Daqiang, a cousin of Mrs. Lin, who is in charge of the ceremonial room of the Yamen of the prefect of Los Angeles. Originally, the errand of escorting Zhiruo's sister and brother into Beijing was mostly led by the wardens of the torture room or the warden of the barracks, but who made the official Liu Dianji the brother-in-law of the prefect, and casually pulled a reason to let the official Liu enter Beijing with six soldiers drawn from the barracks and the torture room. It is said that even those soldiers have their own ways and backstage, otherwise where can they get such a good errand?
Sure enough, on the first day on the road, these six people were all kinds of lucky, and one of the soldiers who spent a little money to get this errand secretly shouted "It's worth it!" in his heart.
Isn't it worth it? Drink chilled good green tea and milk tea, eat a little snack crystal cake and bread, don't rush at night, the guest house is a three-person room with a ventilated window, the same as Meizhuang's own guards, not the six-person room they used to live in, or even a chase shop. If it weren't for the lack of rooms in the inn, Uncle Johnson would have prepared for the two of them to share one room.
At first, Liu Dianguan pretended to refuse to live in a single room, saying that the expenses of the seven of them would be borne by the prefect's yamen, and it would be enough for two four-person rooms. I only said that the eldest girl had already explained that Meizhuang was responsible for the food and lodging on the road, and it was very hard to travel during the day, so where could they not sleep well at night?
On the façade, Uncle Johnson has never been stingy, and he doesn't want to leave anything to criticize in these little things. One of the most common words of the eldest girl in his family is: Nothing that can be solved by silver is a problem!
As long as these seven people are safe and secure, they are not bought and used by anyone, and they do not do anything to murder Meizhuang, it is really not a matter of eating better, drinking better, and living comfortably along the way. When Shun Shundang arrived in the capital, he also prepared a red envelope for each of them, and the girl said that the name was Ping An Red Envelope.
Of course, if there are really people who don't have long eyes, they are not easy to bully.
Not to mention, Uncle Qiang is really not blindly worried, some people really want to fight the idea of these soldiers, but the time for them to know the news is too short, and the time for Governor Lin to select candidates is too late, so it is too late to arrange it. The six people who were finally selected, as well as Liu Dian, were all personally appointed by Governor Lin, and he also specially asked the master to popularize the current situation in Beijing and the influence of the Yin family in the army.
Lin Zhifu is a smart person, after the night arrest of mountain bandits, as well as the assassination of the little county lord not long ago, although he has not studied Meizhuang's ability to protect the country, he also knows it in his heart, not to mention the emperor's attention to the palace banquet of Yin Zhiruo's sister and brother in Beijing This time, anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly. If something happens on the way to Beijing, the entire prefect's yamen headed by him will be angered by the emperor.
Therefore, if anyone fights these soldiers' idea to kill people with a knife, whether they succeed or not, they will not only be enemies of Meizhuang, but also have an enmity with him Lin Tingwei!
The candidates personally filtered by Governor Lin personally warned and admonished him, not to mention that someone hadn't had time to arrange it, even if he really got in touch, no one dared to risk being exiled or even beheaded.
The journey was smooth and smooth, but the itinerary was more leisurely and comfortable, so that Liang Dashan, who was busy with the business of the dart board, couldn't help but speed up the trip first.
In the first few days, the four of Ming Ze were still a little excited, and the closer they got to the capital, somehow, the four brothers and sisters gradually became a little uneasy and anxious. The two young men Lang and Zhihui were fine, but they were silent and didn't like to talk, frowning and didn't know what they were thinking. The youngest Zhixuan was serious, and she refused to leave Zhiruo's side more and more, and even began to have nightmares again at night. Even with it, Bai Xue was lazy, and instead of running with the horse, he followed Xuan'er at Zhiruo's feet.
Zhiruo secretly shook his head, his father, mother and aunt were gone in one day, and he saw the tragic situation of his father falling like a hedgehog, and the shadow in the hearts of his younger brothers and sisters could not be erased for a lifetime. Fortunately in Los Angeles, now that they are getting closer and closer to the capital, the insecurity in their hearts has begun to rebound.
However, this is also something that cannot be helped, and it is a stage that they must go through in their growth. What should be said, what can be analyzed, she broke it and told them before leaving Los Angeles. The rest can only live a normal life by waiting for their own efforts to dilute the fear and anxiety in their hearts. Escaping is not a long-term solution, you can't never return to Beijing, right?
Zhiruo didn't deliberately comfort and relieve them again, including the youngest Xuan'er. She didn't seem to notice their abnormality, what should she do, even if she looked aggrieved and pitiful by her side, she should talk about things, read books, and rest.
She believes that her younger siblings can overcome the hurdle in her heart, because whether it is to avenge her father's rehabilitation or to revitalize her grandfather and father's Yin family, it requires the faith and efforts of each of their siblings, especially the two Ming Ze brothers. What can they do if they are forever shrunk in their shells and dare not face the source of their suffering?
Fortunately, as you wished and believed, the big three returned to normal within two days. The most squeamish Xiao Xuan'er, although not as lively and relaxed as in Meizhuang, gradually began to regain her smile, and sometimes tried to compete with Minghui, or like a little magpie, flew from Mo Forget's shoulder to Minghui's horse, and then flew to Mingze's shoulder, and then flew to Zhiruo's carriage with a bang, causing Bai Xue to run wildly...... , so that the six soldiers of the prefect's yamen who know martial arts are all praised, and even ashamed of themselves, the little girl in the secret path is really taught by the old man in the middle of the mountain himself, and she is worthy of being the only heir of the Lingbo fairy.
Minghui is the closed disciple of the old man in the middle of the mountain, because of the assassination of the little county lord by Juxiang, the news that Zhixuan is the only descendant of Lingbo Fairy's peerless light skills has also been known by more and more people, so Zhiruo did not hide it anymore, just let the younger sister relax while practicing, killing two birds with one stone.
Near noon on the ninth day, the group arrived safely at the Yongding Gate on the south wall of the capital. As soon as she entered the city gate, Xiao Xuan'er, who was looking out of the car window, let out a cheer, and on the other side, Minghui, who was looking east and west on horseback, suddenly frowned.
