Chapter 31: Crisis
"Yes, Gongsun understands." Gongsun Li replied.
Kong Ming nodded, then got up and left his seat: "I'll go outside to relax." β
Watching Kong Ming leave, Gongsun Li's face became a little gloomy, and after shaking his head slightly and exhaling, he then put the ingots on the desk into his cuffs.
......
In addition to the yamen, although Li Sicong was extremely depressed, he quickly adjusted his mood.
Li Sicong rode on his horse, reached out and took out the special perfume and jade box from his arms, opened the box and wrapped the jade bottle in it.
"Forget it, let's change our mood and go to the beauty."
After Li Sicong made up his mind, he galloped towards the Dongfeng Inn.
In less than a moment, Li Sicong came to the door of Dongfeng Inn.
This Dongfeng Inn is not big, but the faΓ§ade is very exquisite, and it is a place where people want to go in and rest at a glance.
"It's a good place."
Li Sicong said to himself, then dismounted, raised his hand and handed the reins to the little guy who came to answer.
Li Sicong walked into the inn, came to the counter, and reported Li Yan'er's name to the shopkeeper.
"You're looking for someone in room twenty-five?" Shopkeeper said.
Li Sicong nodded: "Yes, what's the matter, aren't they there?" β
"They checked out and left." The shopkeeper said.
"What? Let's go? β
Li Sicong said with some surprise, and then asked, "When did you leave?" β
"Just half an hour before Childe came."
"Where did you go?"
"This, I'm not sure to say, it's the privacy of the guests......"
While!
A money bag slammed into the table.
"Tell me, it's yours." Li Sicong said.
"Childe, it's embarrassing for you to call me that." The shopkeeper showed a touch of embarrassment.
"Oh? yes, then ask someone else. β
Li Sicong's words were to raise his hand and take away the money bag.
The money bag is bulging, and at a glance, you can tell that it contains a lot of money.
Seeing that Li Sicong was about to take the money bag away, the shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed the money bag: "Go east, go east." β
"Isn't that all there is to it?"
As soon as Li Sicong's words fell, the person turned around and ran out of the door, grabbed the rope from the hand of the little guy who was tying the reins, jumped up, and after a burst of shouting, he chased towards the east.
For Li Sicong, this Li Yan'er is the person he can't miss, this Datang is not like modern times, with an active network and telephone communication, here, this farewell may never be seen again in a lifetime.
......
More than 20 miles north of the new capital, it is a rugged mountain road, but the scenery along the way is particularly eye-catching.
On the road, a brand-new carriage was slowly driven by a man in gray.
Hula, hula~
As the curtain was lifted and closed, it was clear that it was Li Yan'er and Yu Tian who were sitting in it.
"Miss, shall we go back now? Didn't you say that you would play for another half a month, and then you wouldn't wait for the Wanxiang Pavilion to give you a gift before leaving? Yu Tian asked.
After Li Yan'er was silent for a while, she said: "Don't wait, the time is almost up, and if you don't go back, you will be scolded by your father." β
Yu Tian pouted and shook her head: "But I just don't think I have had enough." β
Li Yan'er looked at Yu Tian and said, "Actually, it's not the main reason why we left, Daddy's side, but I've been feeling a little unwell recently." β
"Uncomfortable?"
Yu Tian looked at Li Yan'er and said with some worry: "Miss, are you here there?" I'm going to call the coachman to stop and give you a kettle of hot water to drink......"
"Eh, it's not that, you misunderstood."
"What's that?"
Li Yan'er lifted the curtains and looked at the scenery outside: "Recently, I always feel like someone is spying on us, anyway, it feels bad, so it's better for us to leave early." β
"Miss, listening to what you said, I also have a feeling, last time I went to pour hot water outside the room, I saw a man in black looking at me outside the door, I felt something wrong at that time, but the inn was full of people, I didn't pay attention to it, now I think about it, maybe it's really being watched." Yu Tian said.
Li Yan'er bit her cherry lip slightly, then exhaled, and opened the curtain with her slender jade hand to look outside.
"No, Tian'er, do you see if this is the way we came?" Li Yan'er asked.
Yu Tian also turned his head to look out the window, and his face showed a strange look: "Huh? This is not the way to Gyeonggi, what's going on? β
Thinking of this, Yu Tian opened the curtain and asked the man who was driving the car, "Coachman, is your car on the wrong way?" Isn't this the way to Gyeonggi? β
"That's right, that's right, just go like this." The driver said with a slight panic.
Yu Tian saw the appearance of the coachman, only felt a 'chuckle' in his heart, and after secretly saying 'not good', he said: "Stop, stop immediately." β
"It's ...... ahead"
The coachman realized that he had made a mistake, but he hurriedly threw the reins, causing the horse to speed up a lot.
"Parking! Stop now! β
Yu Tian shouted, and then took out a dagger from his waist and put it against the coachman's neck: "If you don't stop, I want your life!" β
Stomp, stomp!
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Yu Tian turned his head to look, but it was a group of masked people riding horses.
The comer is not good!
Yu Tian's face was shocked, but then he returned to normal, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, so he pulled the reins with one hand and suppressed the coachman with a dagger with the other.
Sizzle! ~
The horses finally stopped under Yu Tian's desperate pulling, and almost at the same time, the group of masked men also surrounded the carriage with horses.
"Say, what's going on?"
The dagger under Yu Tian's hand was faintly pressed, and a blood mark was drawn on the coachman's neck, and drops of blood dripped down the tip of the knife onto the cart.
"Girl, it's really none of my business, I'm innocent, if I don't allow them to bring you here, my family will suffer." The coachman said with a slight cry.
"Damn, that's your reason!?"
Yu Tian bit her lip, and the dagger under her hand was about to kill the coachman.
The coachman seemed to know his fate, trembling all over, but he did not resist in the slightest, but quietly closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
"Daddy!"
"Quartz!"
A hurried call came, but a woman and a child who looked like they were five or six years old stumbling towards the carriage.
The coachman opened his eyes and looked at the woman and child, with tears flowing from his eyes: "Yiwan, I'm sorry for you, don't come here, get out of here quickly!" See you in the next life! β
"No!"
The woman shouted, and then fell to her knees with a 'poof': "I beg you, please don't kill him!" Please......"
"Huh."
Yu Tian didn't know why, all she had in her heart was a sneer: "I pity you, who pities us, your father-in-law brought us here, I'm afraid there will be no good end today." β
