Chapter 260: Staying in the Five Kings' Mansion
Yue Qingming arrived at the Imperial City seven days later, faster than she imagined, of course, the reason why they were able to arrive at the Imperial City so quickly was naturally because Dong Xi's speed in the carriage was too fast, too fast beyond imagination, and there were still three fast horses in the middle, which cost a lot of silver.
When she thought that a fast horse was so expensive, Yue Qingming was a little heartbroken, although before she set off, Yue Tianfu gave her a lot of silver, but most of it she had already recharged into the magical Taobao system, and the half of the box of silver that she secretly hid in the room before was also filled in, and now there is only a small part of the silver left on her body that is enough for them to live.
The reason why Yue Qingming did this, naturally because it is inconvenient to carry so much silver on the body, and it is easy to attract people's eyes, if you meet some robbers on the road, it will waste a lot of time, so they are simple travel this time, most of the things are clothes and jewelry, there is not much silver, anyway, all their silver is already in the magical Taobao system, if you really need silver to use, and then withdraw it.
When their carriage entered the imperial city, they carried out a check, and naturally there were no strange things in it, and the strangest thing was probably Dong Xi who was wearing a Shura mask, they were used to him dressing like this, but the people guarding the city gate thought he was a very strange person, so they wanted him to take off the mask on his face to see if he was a wanted criminal now, or some dangerous person or something.
Yue Qingming was a little helpless, if he was a wanted criminal, or some dangerous person, where would he come back to the imperial city wearing such an eye-catching mask, and he was not a fool, how could he do such a stupid thing.
Moreover, she had never seen Dong Xi take off the mask on his face, if these people dared to forcibly take off the mask on Dong Xi's face here, I was afraid that Dong Xi would quickly solve it.
This was their first time in the Imperial City, and Jiang Qiancheng would be back here soon, so it was better for them not to cause trouble here.
But as for the mask on Dong Xi's face, Yue Qingming was also helpless, he had never seen what he looked like, and these people were naturally not qualified to see it.
And just when those people were aggressively trying to take off the mask on Dong Xi's face, otherwise they would not be allowed to enter the imperial city, a carriage suddenly appeared in front of them, and all their attention was quickly attracted by them.
The familiar laughter sounded first, and Yue Qingming also laughed, this guy came really in time, and he actually got the news so quickly that they had arrived in the imperial city.
The person who got out of the carriage was naturally Jiang Qianbai, and his clothes were much more luxurious than when he was in Jiangnan City, and his identity was naturally highlighted with such a dress, and the guards guarding the city gate naturally knew what Jiang Qianbai's identity was, and hurriedly saluted him.
Jiang Qianbai said with a smile: "Get up, don't be polite, it's just that the people sitting in this carriage are all friends of this king, so you don't need to check, just let them in." ”
"Yes!"
Then Yue Qingming and their carriage were released, and sure enough, they still had to have power in the imperial city, and they were relieved of the siege in one sentence.
When Jiang Qiancheng told Yue Qingming that Jiang Qianbai's power in the imperial city was actually enough to compete with the crown prince, Yue Qingming still didn't believe it, but now when he saw Jiang Qianbai successfully enter the imperial city with a word, he still believed it a little.
Yue Qingming's carriage followed Jiang Qianbai's carriage all the way to the mansion of the fifth prince Jiang Qianbai, that is, the mansion of the five princes.
When Jiang Qianbai got down from the carriage, Yue Qingming also got off the carriage, Jiang Qianbai turned around and looked at Yue Qingming with a smile, and said: "I didn't expect you to set off two days later than Jiang Qiancheng, and you actually arrived here before him, fortunately, this king sent people to keep an eye on the outskirts of the imperial city, otherwise you would not be able to enter the imperial city smoothly today." ”
When Yue Qingming followed Jiang Qianbai into the palace, he asked him: "Is there something going on here in the imperial city now, why do the carriages in and out have to be checked, it's really strange that people can't even wear masks." ”
"That's naturally because something big happened before you came here," Jiang Qianbai said with a smile, his tone was still indifferent: "The crown prince was assassinated a few days ago, and all the assassins who assassinated him all retreated, and none of them were caught, the prince was furious and demanded that the entire imperial city strictly investigate the suspicious people who came and went, so your carriage would be stopped, especially that friend of yours was still wearing such a strange mask." ”
"So, the people who guarded the city gate just now are the prince's people?"
"yes."
Yue Qingming sighed again in his heart, those who guarded the city gate were the prince's people, but Jiang Qianbai could bring them in with a word, it seems that his power is really great, even the prince has to give him some face.
After following Jiang Qianbai into his palace, Yue Qingming saw Jiang Qianbai's henchman guard, Ye Xiuwen, when Jiang Qianbai was leisurely in Jiangnan City before, he was handling all kinds of things for Jiang Qianbai in the imperial city.
Jiang Qianbai told Ye Xiuwen and said: "This is the eldest daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan City, Yue Qingming, is the sweetheart of the Seventh Prince, and then she lives in our house, you let people arrange a few rooms for them, and they want to have a good side room, or, it is okay to sort out a courtyard separately." ”
Then Jiang Qianbai turned to look at Yue Qingming and asked her, "Which one do you like?" ”
"Let's have a separate yard, after all, we came with four people, and it's better to live together."
"Do you hear that?"
Ye Xiuwen nodded and said, "I heard it, my subordinates will arrange it." ”
Ye Xiuwen left quickly, but when Yue Qingming saw his back leaving in a hurry, he was a little curious, I don't know why, after she entered this palace, she felt that the people in this palace were afraid of Jiang Qianbai, although Jiang Qianbai had always had some smiles on his face, and he had never taken it off since they met.
So Yue Qingming asked Jiang Qianbai directly: "The people in your house seem to be quite afraid of you, are you particularly fierce?" ”
Jiang Qianbai smiled and said, "Maybe, but don't worry, I won't be very fierce to Wan'er." ”
“…… The third sister is not here. ”
"It's coming sooner or later."
“……”
