Chapter Seventy-Nine: Arriving in the Capital
The journey that originally took five days was shortened to three days by Li Qinghua, and he traveled day and night without the slightest stop.
Li Qingyan was a little unbearable, and the bumps in the past three days made his whole body unexpectedly sore.
From a distance, I saw the majestic city gate belonging to the capital, which was originally only to check the identity documents of people entering and leaving, but now even the entire body has to be inspected.
Qingyan opened the curtain in a corner of the car and noticed that Li Qinghua did not get out of the car, but only sent a man dressed in black to talk to the leader of the gate alone.
The man took out a token from his bosom and handed it to the leader of the city guards, who saw that his eyes were wide open, obviously extremely shocked, and then he returned the token to the man with both hands, and after saluting respectfully to the carriage they were in, he ordered the other guards to stop the others and invite them to enter the city first.
Li Qingyan's eyes narrowed, and he was extremely surprised!
It seems that Concubine Shu is extremely skillful, not only controlling the palace, but also controlling the gate of the capital.
I don't know how Wang Chen and the others avoided the guards and entered the city?
It's been three days, and I don't know if Biqing can go to Yunyao to find An Jiu?
Li Qingyan thought so, the carriage had already driven to the central street, and at this time, the noise outside came into the car.
"Ouch! Which nobleman dared to run the carriage so fast, and he didn't come down to ask if he hit the child, but he just left."
There was a boy who shouted loudly with an open voice, attracting all the passers-by.
Everyone looked, and sure enough, as he said, a half-grown child of about ten years old was lying upright on the side of the road where the carriage passed, and the red hot blood gradually flowed from the side of the road, and the boy was lying in the middle with blood all over his body, obviously not lightly hit by the carriage.
Because of the crowd, Qingyan's carriage was forced to stop, and she happened to follow everyone's line of sight to look at the person who was hit, the boy in the cloth dress and short brown had his eyes closed, and no one around him stepped forward to check.
Li Qingyan Huo lowered the curtain and then got out of the carriage, but was stopped by the guards on one side.
"What does Miss Fourth want to do?"
Li Qingyan smiled, "Didn't you see it?" The kid was badly injured, so I naturally wanted to go and see it."
"No, the eldest lady doesn't allow you to get out of the carriage at will!"
The guard resolutely disagreed, and the short sword stuck in front of Qingyan pushed her inside.
"It's about human life, do you want me to call Li Qinghua out in person......"
Li Qingyan raised her eyebrows and glanced at the guard, and then glanced at the carriage where her master was.
The guard hesitated, "This ......"
Li Qingyan unceremoniously took advantage of his hesitation to push away his blocking arm, and rushed to the child in a pool of blood with an arrow step.
Seeing this, the guards had to hurry to report to Li Qinghua in the carriage.
Li Qingyan ignored the shocked looks on everyone's faces, squatted down and carefully picked up the boy straight, and placed him in another clean open space before checking his body.
At this moment, the boy Huo opened his eyes, and Qingyan was also startled.
saw that the boy quickly closed his eyes again, and the fast Qingyan almost suspected that he was dazzled.
But the boy's gesture of holding her hand proves that the child is pretending.
A rolled paper was stuffed into her hand by the boy, and she subconsciously clenched it tightly in the palm of her hand, until the boy's hand left, she carefully looked at the half-grown child lying on the ground thoughtfully.
When she was stunned, the guard came to her again, this time on Li Qinghua's order to let her go back to the car, as for the child, I saw the guard take out a belt of silver and throw it beside him, the guard looked indifferent, and said sharply: "Fourth Miss doesn't want me to press you in!"
Li Qingyan lowered his head to his side, and sneered: "As for a person like your master who regards human life as nothing, are you sure you want to follow?"
Dropping such a mocking word, Li Qingyan reflexively returned to the car without looking at the whispering passers-by around him.
As soon as the long swords of a group of guards came out, the onlookers no longer dared to stop the carriage and got out of the way.
Recently, the capital is not very peaceful, there will be guards of the family who move the sword at any time, they are just ordinary people, they dare not say anything at all, if they accidentally offend the nobles and lose their lives, it will be in vain.
The carriage started again, and it was a mansion that went straight to the East Side.
In the carriage, Qingyan spread out his palms and stared at the things in his hands for a long time.
Who arranged for that child to send her such a note?
Qingyan slowly opened the note, and in strong handwriting, a sentence was written: Don't be afraid, wait for me!
Qingyan thought lowly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared, and even his eyes lit up, full of starlight.
How did he know that she had entered Beijing?
Then did he also know about Concubine Shu and Li Qinghua's plan!
Thinking she tightened the note, leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes.
Li Qinghua's mansion is located in a woodland, very quiet and very hidden, I think it was arranged in advance.
Li Qingyan, who got out of the carriage, looked at the surrounding environment quietly, if it weren't for the special situation, she felt that this was an excellent summer resort.
"Let's go, sister, no one here will be looking for you except me, sister doesn't have to think that someone will come to save you? Of course, even if someone comes, it is impossible to come and take you out."
Li Qinghua is still extremely confident in the place he has built.
In modern times, she was born by studying architecture, especially obsessed with labyrinthine architecture, and here she can play her strengths.
She smiled smugly, held her head high, and was the first to enter the door.
He was greeted by a blind old man.
Li Qinghua stopped again when he stepped into the threshold with one foot, as if he had thought of something, turned his head to look at Qingyan again, his smile was bright, but the words he said were extremely cold.
"Sister, if you want to leave, you can only be as blind as him."
She pointed to the blind man, who had turned a deaf ear and had an unchanging expression, and laughed all the way into the house.
And when Qingyan entered, the guard took out a black towel and tied it to her eyes.
Li Qingyan deliberately sneered: "Your eldest lady can say that the five of them can leave here, so why bother!"
The guards did not stop, and said indifferently: "The order of the eldest lady must not be violated."
Li Qingyan was put alone in a room, Li Qinghua did not restrict her freedom, out of the house, there was a small courtyard, planted with willow trees, the weeping willows were low, it seemed a little deep, she tried to get out of the courtyard gate, but it was a road, and there were willow trees on both sides.
It was night, and it was the blind old man who brought her food.
She approached him tentatively and said in a low voice, "Uncle, where is Li Qinghua?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, he seemed to be very scared and nervous, his right hand trembled and touched the object that he could grasp, and his eyes looked for the voice, "What did you say?" Li Qinghua? ”
