Lu Jiu, Xia Qiqi, together with King Yan, rushed to the capital non-stop along the way.

Because he was pretending to be a businessman, he was in such an anxious hurry, but it did not arouse the suspicion of others.

It's just that when you clear customs, you have to queue up to clear customs like ordinary people.

If not, King Yan would have to use his own token.

This time, King Yan was not summoned to Beijing, and the matter can be big or small.

Although he ordered someone to deliver a letter to the emperor early, saying that it was important to return to Beijing for treatment when he was ill, but in the end he was the vassal king who guarded the border pass.

He didn't know when the letter arrived in the emperor's hands and what the emperor's reply was.

The only thing you can do is gamble!

Quietly go to the capital, if the emperor's reply is access, he will appear in the light.

If not, he will hide his identity, and after Lu Jiu and King Yu and Princess Yu have met, he will leave the capital and return to the Tongzhou fiefdom.

A group of people, so low-key, but when they were about to arrive in the capital, there was still a problem.

One of the guards clashed with another group of men.

However, the group of people was the dart master, and the dart master felt that there were many of them, so he fought with the guard.

The guards suffered a loss, and they dropped their waist cards, and they were seen by many pairs of eyes.

Those who have seen the world know at that time that Xia Qiqi, a group of so-called businessmen, are just people pretending.

It's still pretended to be from the government.

The dart masters immediately reined in, but looking at the eyes of Xia Qiqi's group, they suddenly changed.

This scene was known to King Yan, and King Yan immediately reprimanded the guard.

"Before leaving, you forgot all my orders?"

"Or do you leave Tongzhou, you don't even know who you are?"

The guard was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper, and he knelt down with a puff, "Lord Wang, the subordinates didn't mean it, but the group of dart masters deceived people too much, and the subordinates couldn't hold back, so they ......"

"Presumptuous, do you have a part in speaking here? This king says you are wrong, you are wrong! ”

King Yan shouted angrily.

"The subordinates know their mistakes, ask the prince for forgiveness, ask the prince for forgiveness......"

The guards kept kowtowing, and in the blink of an eye, their heads broke and bled out.

A few guards who were good with this guard saw it, and there were unbearable expressions on their faces.

But in the end, there was still no sound.

.n orders are like mountains, and if they are soldiers, they must obey the orders of the commander.

The manager let them live, they can't die.

Boss, let them die, they can't live!

"You've made a mistake, and I can't keep you along the way! In this way, you go back to Tongzhou by yourself, go to the barracks and receive thirty rods, and if you commit it again in the future, you will not stay in my camp tent!" ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

This incident ended with the departure of the guards.

Tonight, this is where Xia Qiqi and a group of people rest.

Thirty miles away from the capital, the only inn.

Tonight is over, and before noon tomorrow, I will be able to enter the capital.

It's probably for this reason that everyone is a little lax.

Even Xia Qiqi began to look at the scenery around him.

It is close to the capital, and many things have begun to be on par with the capital.

For example, food, and then some customs.

When Xia Qiqi was having dinner, listening to the people around her, talking about the prosperity of the capital, she also began to yearn for it.

Lu Jiu sat opposite her, so he could take in Xia Qiqi's expression.

Xia Qiqi likes the capital, and he naturally likes it too.

Looking at everything around me, I feel better.

After dinner, Xia Qiqi rested in the room of the inn.

Thinking of going to the capital tomorrow, she was still a little nervous.

Whether it's meeting Lu Jiu's parents, or looking at the capital that everyone yearns for.

This time, she came out and brought a lot of silver taels, thinking that if she had the opportunity, she would do a little business in the capital.

Make some money.

Of course, her first choice is a roast duck shop, after all, Lin Shaocheng tried his best to let her open a roast duck shop in the capital.

Lin Shaocheng, the kind of person who can't afford to make a profit, has this kind of thought, and there must be benefits in it.

Xia Qiqi thought about his future days in the capital, and before he knew it, the sky darkened.

She was also a little tired, and after washing, she climbed into her own chuang and went to sleep.

As soon as Xia Qiqi fell asleep, he felt something ringing in his ears, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard someone shouting outside.

"It's a drain...... Walking in the water......"

"Run for your life......"

Xia Qiqi quickly got up from the bed, and at the same time, the door of her room was also knocked open.

Lu Jiu rushed in.

"Don't go out!" Lu Jiu said directly.

"Why?" Xia Qiqi asked.

She had seen the sparks, the billowing smoke, and the screams ringing in her ears.

"I just saw that all the people who rushed out fell to the ground, and there was an ambush outside!"

Xia Qiqi was stunned.

"You mean...... Homicide? She asked.

Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu didn't do this before.

The Liu butcher who had done all the bad things was solved by her and Lu Jiu herself.

But that kind of heinous big villain, it's not a pity to die, these civilians, who dares to do it?

"Guard, did the guard reveal his identity? Or the group of dart masters, who are coming for the dart masters? ”

When Xia Qiqi was eating, he had observed the people around him.

Except for their group of people, and then the group of dart masters, both sides are not ordinary people.

Other than that, it's just pedestrians passing through the road.

"I don't know!" Lu Jiu shook his head.

"Ah Jiu, we can't let that group of people rush out!" Xia Qiqi said.

"Good!"

Lu Jiu didn't let Xia Qiqi go out, he rushed out by himself.

At that time, King Yan also got up, and when he heard the movement, he immediately felt that something was wrong, Lu Jiu told him that after seeing someone go out, he fell to the ground, and King Yan immediately understood that this was a trap.

He immediately ordered his men not to let the people in the inn go out.

But the fire was real, and arrows with fire were constantly being shot in.

That group of people, it seems, can't wait, want the lives of everyone in the inn!

"Master, this is not a way, here, sooner or later, it will be roasted, or it will be killed by random arrows. If you rush out, there is still a chance of life. The guards said to King Yan.

King Yan didn't understand this truth, but he ......

"Can't rush!" Xia Qiqi walked out from the corner of the stairs.

"No one knows how many people there are, whether they are friends or foes. I just looked at it, there is a well in the backyard, and there is a patio for storing water! And then there's the water tank, all these things.

Let's hide in the patio, in the well, in the water tank, as long as there is water, we can hide it, otherwise, a wet quilt, wait for the group of people to come up, and we will fight them to the end! ”

Xia Qiqi Dao.

When she said this, everyone came to their senses.

But those ordinary people are still crying.
