When Qingluan woke up, he found himself lying in a clean and tidy room.

She touched her head, only to feel a little dizzy, and when she got up and got out of bed and walked around, her legs and feet were weak.

How long did you sleep? It was as if he had slept out of breath.

Check the clothes, it is still the Begonia Calico skirt I wore yesterday, and I didn't even take off the socks on my feet.

Qingluan steadied herself, bypassed the dark red carved screen, and slowly walked out of the door.

Outside is a small courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, and a verdant pomegranate tree in the courtyard has already fallen fruit at this time.

There was a stone table next to the pomegranate tree, several stone benches, and an old woman in her forties was sitting at the stone table and pulling the string to hold the soles of her shoes.

"Lady awake?" Mama raised her eyes and saw Qingluan, so she put away the thick needle and thread in her hand, pinned the awl to the sole of her shoe, stood up and smiled: "But hungry?" I'll go to the stove and bring food. ”

"Who are you? How am I here? "Qingluan doesn't want to eat now, just wants to go to the clean room.

"The old man is the landlord Liu here, and a gentleman sent his wife here to rest last night."

Mama came over and said kindly: "The water for washing has been prepared, or you should take the lady to wash first." ”

Qingluan nodded, looked up at the sun, it was already noon, frowned, and went to the bathroom with Mama Liu in confusion.

I went to Gongfang, washed up, and slowly ate the food brought by Mama Liu.

"Mama Liu, do you know where the person who sent me here has gone?" Qingluan is now penniless, and all the packages and everything were taken away by Yue Wuxian's servant, and he didn't even have a change of clothes.

It is more than a thousand miles away from the capital, and I don't know how far away it is from Naqizhou, so she can't walk on two legs.

The savage villagers she met that day really frightened Qingluan, and she would never dare to run away alone without horses and weapons.

"That Lang Jun said, let the lady wait here, and he will have someone come to pick you up."

Mama Liu was talking, sat back at the table, picked up the needle and thread, and kept tearing and tearing the soles of her shoes in her hands.

This grandmother is very patient, a little bit of string tightening, and it took half a day to do an inch.

After finishing the meal, Qingluan sat at the table and looked at the pomegranate tree in a daze: damn Yue Wuwu, who said that he would send her to Qizhou, actually left himself alone in this house, and did not leave the silver down, knowing that she had put the silver ticket close to her.

Thinking back carefully about yesterday's scene, Qingluan only felt that he fell asleep too abruptly, and he never woke up after falling asleep, until he arrived here, he was unconscious.

Could it be that Yue Wuxian gave her sweat medicine, right?

Sure enough, it's a traitorous villain.

An hour later, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Mama Liu quickly put away the soles of her shoes to open the door.

I saw a very handsome Lang Jun walking in.

"Xiao Luo!" Qingluan ran over in surprise, "Why are you here, no injury to my brother?" ”

It turned out that the guy sent himself here in a daze to pick her up in exchange for Xiao Luo, hum! He thinks he is doing it seamlessly, so others can't recognize his identity? It's a beautiful idea.

Xiao Luo, who had recovered her original appearance, smiled and touched the top of her hair, "I came to Qizhou to mourn King Qi, and someone notified me to come here to pick you up." ”

Qingluan snorted. Come to Qizhou to mourn the king of Qi? Just make it up. "Where to go back? Go to Qizhou or go back to Beijing? ”

"Naturally, I went back to Beijing, but now the city of Qizhou is noisy and chaotic, and the eldest princess sent guards to look for you, and now she is outside Quanxian County."

"Did my mother really send someone over?" Qingluan was a little nervous, and suddenly she was a little scared to go back and face her mother's scolding.

"Hmm." Xiao Luo took Qingluan's hand, "There's a carriage outside, let's go now." ”

Xiao Luo took out a money bag and handed it to Mama Liu: "Thank you Mama for taking care of the sister, no matter how much respect is not at all." ”

Mama Liu smiled from ear to ear, took the heavy bag of silver with both hands, and said again and again: "The old body didn't do anything, Lang Jun was polite." ”

There was a two-horse luxury carriage parked outside, Xiao Luo took Qingluan into the carriage and sat in it himself.

When the coachman saw the two men seated, he whipped his horse and drove away.

Qingluan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Luo, thinking about whether to expose his identity as Gu Changhe.

Think about it or forget it, once he exposes Xiao Luo in person, it means letting him know that he has already known their conspiracy. She didn't dare to guarantee that Xiao Luo would kill herself for the sake of his brother's great cause.

"Xiao Luo, I once met someone who said that he was your old friend." Qingluan blinked at him with wide eyes.

Xiao Luo coughed slightly, "I already know, he ...... I've already told you. ”

"You met him?" Qingluan was surprised, "I thought Gu Changhe was the assassin who hurt me." ”

Xiao Luomei's heart jumped, and he said in a low voice: "He is just a businessman, he knows some kung fu when he travels south and north, he once went out of the same school with me and met you...... It was purely accidental. ”

Qingluan pursed his lips and squinted at Xiao Luo, "Xiao Luo, what is the relationship between you and Yue Wuxian?" How did he find you to pick me up all at once? ”

Xiao Luo stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and sighed lightly: "Brother Yue is a businessman in the rivers and lakes, I have dealt with him, he has a wide range of connections, and he has some means in the rivers and lakes, so it is not difficult to find me." ”

"Oh." Qingluan twisted his eyebrows in contemplation, and turned his face to look out of the car window.

It is like a small county town like Tai County, and there are mostly low thatched houses on both sides of the road, and there are many pavilions and courtyards with blue bricks and tiles.

The carriage passed through a fairly bustling market, then galloped out of the city gates.

When the carriage came to the Shili Pavilion outside the county seat, Qingluan saw a group of guards with knives wearing soap clothes.

The person in the lead, who was in his thirties and had a short beard, was none other than Wei Quan, the chief of the guard of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and standing next to him was Uncle Han Zai, who was wearing a mask.

"Uncle Han Zai, why did you come to Qizhou too?" Qingluan pretended to meet Han Zai for the first time and shouted loudly.

She and Uncle Han Zai were disguised all the way, and even their hair and figure had changed, presumably Xiao Luo would not recognize him.

Han Zai nodded to her and hummed, "The eldest princess ordered us to come and pick up the county lord back to Beijing. ”

Xiao Luo jumped out of the carriage, bowed his head slightly to them, and stood silently aside, silently looking at the sixty or so guards in front of him. He was no stranger to Han Zai, and knew that he was the personal guard of the eldest princess, but that was all.

Qingluan had something to ask Uncle Han Zai at this time, but because of Xiao Luo's presence, he had to hold back.

"Uncle Han Zai, what did my mother bring to me?" Qingluan took the time to look at Han again.

Han Zai's face was expressionless: "The eldest princess instructed her subordinates to let the county lord return to Beijing as soon as possible and not delay on the way." ”

Qingluan sighed in her heart, asked Uncle Han Zai to drive the car for her, and ordered the guards to set off.

In the guards, there was also a female official of the princess's mansion named Zhu Niang.

Zhu Niang is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an old-fashioned and dull personality, and Qingluan has been taught Derong etiquette by her since she was a child.

At this time, after she gave the county lord a slight salute, she sat in the carriage with a calm face, opened the wicker box she brought with her, took out the combing clothes, and re-curled Qingluan's hair and changed clothes.

"The county lord is now older, and his temperament should be calmer." Zhu Niang said in a cold voice: "You are running outside indiscriminately, if people know what to say about the princess?" ”

Qingluan shrank his head and hung his head silently.

She was a little scared of this big palace maid since she was a child, so she thought of letting her live in another courtyard two years ago, but she didn't expect her mother to let her pick her up.

After closing the doors and windows of the carriage, Zhu Niang peeled Qingluan's clothes from the outside to the inside, and changed them into the clothes brought by the princess's mansion.

At the end, Zhu Niang stuffed the changed clothes into a package, and then raised her eyes to look at Qingluan,

"What's the bruise on the county lord's chest?"
