When night came, I just walked to the mountain road section, and I couldn't see the road clearly.

"My lord, it's too dark to see the road clearly, we need to stop and rest for the night, and then go tomorrow?" A man next to Yuan Chongjie said respectfully and carefully. Yuan Chongjie looked at the sky, thought about it, and agreed. The man then shouted "Everyone, stop and rest on the spot for the night." The horses were tied, and the people were divided into two wheels, and they were on duty at night to guard the carriage. The show girl stayed in the carriage and didn't have to come down."

Everyone moved. "You, the horse is on a leash." "You, go set up a spare tent" "Yes".

In the carriage, show girls, you look at me, I look at you, and I saw Wuxin's calm face and Xiang'er's changed sleeping position (lying on Wuxin's legs). They closed their eyes again, hugged each other or slept in their arms, and they were inexplicably unaffected.

Outside the carriage

"My lord, the tent is set up," the steward came to Yuan Chongjie and raised his hand to salute. Yuan Chongjie walked to the tent, if it wasn't for the appearance, it could be said to be the bed at home, warm and comfortable. No matter what time it is, it's all about enjoyment. Behind the enjoyment, what is hidden is the instability of the court and the increase in corrupt officials.

In this silent night, there was silence, as if everything was calm. It's a pity that under the calm, there have already been rough waves.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Yuan Chongjie took care of his clothes under the service of the waiter. All the people are ready, waiting for orders, ready to go. Yuan Chongjie got on the horse and gave the order to "go". The sound of the wheels of the carriage sounded, and he continued to hurry in the direction of the capital.

Arrive at New River City

"My lord, it's New River City ahead." Yuan Chongjie glanced at the man who spoke. "Go, find an inn in New River City that is closest to the city gate, and charter it" "Yes". The man received the order and went to carry it out.

"Qian Yong, arrange these show girls and go to the city." Yuan Chongjie said to the middle-aged man in charge. "Yes, my lord," Qian Yong replied with a bow.

Xinhe City is famous for a river that flows through the center of the city and covers a wide area. Therefore, the city was given the name "New River City".

Fulai Inn, the nearest inn from the city gate, has a large area and a good location, and is the best choice for merchants to stay. Come to the door of the inn:

"Everyone, get out of the carriage and take your own west," Qian Yong shouted. All the show girls got out of the car one after another and entered the inn. "Qian Yong, let them go to the second floor and send someone to guard the staircase, don't let them have a chance to run." "Yes." After speaking, he took the lead to go up to the third floor.

The show girls were led by the servants to the second floor. "Two people in a room, the girls assign their own allocation, and the little one goes down first." Then the servant went downstairs.

Tianling and Xiang'er pushed open a room and walked in, and the other show girls also formed their own teams to choose their own rooms.

Xiang'er closed the door. came to the table, "Tianling, I'm sorry, I've bothered you," Xiang'er said with a guilty face. "What stupid thing are you talking about" Tianling stood up and took Xiang'er's hand and sat down. "What does it have to do with you, I came by myself, how can I blame you? You just need to remember that we will always be good friends, sharing blessings and difficulties. Moreover, if I hide anything from you or deceive you in the future, please believe that I will not harm you. If there's anything inconvenient for you to let me know, I'll believe you'll not hurt me. Besides, if it were me who was arrested, would you stand idly by? Tianling looked into Xiang'er's eyes and said. Of course not," Xiang'er retorted. "Then let's say okay, we will be good friends for life, for a lifetime, and we will not betray each other" Xiang'er looked at Tianling with sincere eyes and said. Tianling looked at Xiang'er's sincere face, and after a while, he nodded, "Hmm". The two looked at each other and smiled, and their fates were linked, and their friendship was officially formed.

"By the way, those servants seem to be quite polite to us, don't all the adults look like they have their nostrils facing the sky," Tianling asked suspiciously.

"Don't you know? Some of these drafts are young ladies from wealthy families, counting on entering the palace to be mothers. Just now, the servant was talking to us, and the woman in Tsing Yi next to us was the daughter of the richest merchant in Yunqi City, who was kind and charitable, quite famous, and very popular with the people. also put down his identity and gave porridge to the homeless from time to time. ”

"Do you believe that she is kind?" Tianling asked again.

"I don't know, I've just heard it. However, I feel that she is a little unrealistically kind, like she is not mortal."

"Stay away from her in the future, whether she is kind or not. This kind of person is either really kind-hearted and soft-hearted; Or, or the scheming is too deep. ”

"Okay, I remember." Xiang'er replied without hesitation.

"Hmmm! Let's sleep, recuperate, we may have to rush tomorrow, if we don't rest well, we can't bear the road. ”

"Hmm".

The two went to bed and fell asleep.

Time passed quickly, and the next day was in the blink of an eye.

After Xiang'er and Tianling finished washing, they went downstairs with the other show girls and went to the designated table to eat. After eating, the group was ready to go. The show girl got into the carriage in turn, and the sound of heavy wheels sounded again.

Three days later

Looking at the city gate ahead, the man leading the horse stopped, and the carriage stopped with it. "What's wrong" Yuan Chongjie's voice sounded in the first carriage. When setting off from New River City, Yuan Chongjie's novelty of riding a horse had passed, so he bought a luxurious carriage and replaced it with a carriage.

"My lord, Jinzhou City has arrived," replied the steward who acted as a groom.

"Okay, go to the city, rest for a day, set off tomorrow, and you can arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow," Yuan Chongjie said in an excited tone.

"Yes, sir."

Herald: Dismount and enter the city. "Yes," the three men on horseback in front replied together. The three men dismounted and led them into the city. The carriage followed, slowly heading towards the city.

In the carriage

Listening to the sound outside, Tian Ling was also a little happy in his heart, he was about to arrive in the capital, and he would soon be able to implement the next plan. Thinking like this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise in an inconspicuous arc.

The city is very lively, and Yuan Chongjie and his party have attracted a lot of sideways attention.

"My lord, the Fulai Inn has arrived," the voice of the steward Qian Yong sounded outside the carriage. In the carriage, Yuan Chongjie was closing his eyes and recuperating, closing his eyes and saying, "Got it, go settle down." ”

Fulai Inn has branches in many provincial capitals, and is famous for its quiet environment and simple and elegant layout, which is very popular with customers.

After everything was arranged, Qian Yong came to Yuan Chongjie's carriage and said, "My lord, all the show girls have entered the inn, and the carriage and horses have also been arranged." The room is ready, adults can go up and take a lunch break to recuperate," Qian Yong suggested.
