Danyue blinked her eyes in amazement, and couldn't help asking, "Five-•••••• girl, go to Taiping Mansion?" Didn't you say you went to Liangdi? Why do you suddenly want to go to Taiping Mansion? What to do there? Are we going to Taiping Mansion? ”

"Well, it's not a big deal, what big thing can you do when you go to Taiping Mansion, it's just a fun, take you and Begonia to have a long experience, eat a bowl of crab noodles, make a few new clothes, visit Baiyun Temple, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, what can you do when you go to Taiping Mansion?" Li Xiaoqi was gossiping with a smile, and Danyue looked at Li Xiaoqi with a suspicious face, and muttered in a low voice: "The girl is teasing us again." Li Xiaoqi reached out and took off the golden hairpin on his head, handed it to Danyue, yawned and said: "It's no time to have fun, from here on, we have to rush non-stop, we will rest in this car tonight, let's lie down after packing up, and we can sleep for a while." Danyue agreed, kneeled over and padded the surroundings with a cushion, opened the mezzanine of the car and took the quilt out, and waited for Li Xiaoqi to take off the clothes outside and fold them away, Li Xiaoqi yawned, straightened her legs and feet and lay down, the car was big enough, so big that she stretched out her body and was still a lot short of being able to reach the front of the carriage board, Li Xiaoqi yawned again and said: "Let's sleep together, go out, eat well and rest well, it's best not to get sick, and let those rules go first." Danyue hurriedly smiled and agreed, carefully took the bed quilt and spread it out, and lay down beside Li Xiaoqi cautiously.

Li Xiaoqi also slept well in the bumps of the night, the next day was just dawn, the light moon had already gotten up, quietly packed up his quilt, lifted the curtain and was about to let people pass the message to the begonias in the car behind, Nanning Le Ma came over, and said with a smile: "Miss Danyue woke up, and she will go to Shenjiayi in half an hour, and she has already asked people to prepare hot water and hot soup, and wait for the fifth master to wash up there." Danyue hurriedly smiled and thanked her, and was about to put down the curtain and retract it, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly explained: "The girl ordered yesterday, don't call the fifth master in the future, just call the fifth girl." ”

"Thank you Miss Fade Moon for reminding me." Nanning politely arched her hand, Danyue put down the curtain and turned back, Li Xiaoqi was already swaying with the car, sitting up lazily with his arms folded, raising his hand and curling his hair, lifting the curtain and looking back, yawning, falling back again, pulling the quilt and instructing: "There is still half an hour to Shenjiayi, I will sleep for a while, and call me when I arrive." Danyue pursed her lips and smiled in response.

Li Xiaoqi got off the bus in the main courtyard of the post station, bathed and washed clean, sat on the kang in the main house, while slowly drinking a bowl of porridge, while flipping through the line newspaper of Wu Di sent in by Nanning: Wu Guifei went to Baiyun Temple to fast for a day to pray for blessings, Prime Minister Lin Cheng used his mother's 60th birthday gift to help the lonely and helpless people in the capital, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites Tang Gengen wrote to ask for the crown prince, and the eldest prince's side concubine Yang Tian Ding was happy•••••• Li Xiaoqi slowly ate most of the bowl of porridge, flipped through the line newspaper again, thought for a moment, and played with a few notes. threw a few notes into the charcoal basin and burned them, turned his head to look at Haitang and ordered: "Call Nanning." Haitang went out for a while and brought Nanning in, Li Xiaoqi looked at him and asked, "According to this itinerary, how many days will it take to get to Rucheng?" ”

"Our trip is not slow, it is not fast, if it goes well, it will take about twelve or three days to get to Rucheng." Nanning said very carefully, Li Xiaoqi frowned, it takes twelve or three days to get to Rucheng, and there is still more than half the distance from Rucheng to Taiping Mansion, if this is the way, it will take a month to Taiping Mansion at the earliest••••••

"If you follow the itinerary of the hasty march, how many days will it take to get to Rucheng?"

"That's fast, it will be there in four and a half days." Nanning smiled and replied, Li Xiaoqi rubbed a finger between his eyebrows, alas, this is really self-inflicted!

"The car is gone, let's change horses all the way without changing people, follow the itinerary of the urgent march, and we must rush to Rucheng within five days." Li Xiaoqi commanded with a distressed face, Nanning took a look and hurriedly persuaded: "Five-•••••• girl, this is not good!" The master has instructed that the girl's body is more important than anything else, and if she is in such a hurry, she must be tired and sick, or ••••••."

"That's it!" Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to stop Nanning: "I also know that it is so hard, I wish I could walk ten miles and eight miles a day, and travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, isn't it impossible?" Come on! Li Xiaoqi stopped Nanning, who was about to speak again, and then said: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, if you want to get to Taiping Mansion and then Taiping, you can only do this, find three sets of clothes like everyone, and then march in a hurry. Nanning saw that there was no room for negotiation with Li Xiaoyi, so he had to swallow his saliva, nodded and agreed, Li Xiaoqi then instructed: "There is another important matter, let the long-term order continue, one, let people go to the Song family in Yuling Township, Taizhou to check a person named Song Zhiqian, this person just returned to the township last year, and was a master in Zhengcheng before returning to his hometown, so he should be carefully investigated." Nanning listened attentively, nodded and wrote it down, and Li Xiaoqi then instructed: "The second thing, check where is Mr. Lin, the nephew of the famous scholar clan of Prime Minister Lin, is he coming back, he should be with a monk named Zhijing, if not in one place, both of them must find out, where they are now, what to do, third, there is a place called the Red Mansion in the south bridge tile of Kaiping Mansion, have you heard of it?" ”

"I've heard of it." Nanning hurriedly replied, Li Xiaoqi said 'um' and continued: "The former Red Peony of the Red Mansion, nicknamed Luo Yan, had a good relationship with a big businessman named Qian Fuze in Wu Di last year, and I heard that this Qian Fuze's family is from the Taiping Mansion, so let people inquire about this Qian Fuze and Luo Yan. Nanning repeated the three things, saw Li Xiaoyi nodded, took a few steps back and went out to speak.

Li Xiaoqi watched him go out, turned his head to look at Haitang and Danyue and asked: "You two also heard it, from tomorrow onwards, you have to march to Taiping Mansion in a hurry, this journey is not an ordinary hardship, I'm afraid you can't stand it, otherwise, you two go back, well, don't go back to Kaiping Mansion, I'll write a letter, you two follow the prince's convoy to Liangdi." Danyue and Begonia shook their heads desperately: "If the girl can stand it, we can also stand it, even if we are tired to death, we have to follow the girl!" Li Xiaoqi looked at the two of them silent and did not speak, Haitang was a little anxious, knelt on the ground with her skirt and promised: "Don't worry, girl, you will be able to bear it, don't send us back, if you go back, it will be a dead end!" Li Xiaoyi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while, and Danyue hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained in a low voice: "The girl's going to the Taiping Mansion must be a secret, and there will be no way for us to live without the girl's ••••••." Danyue's voice became lower and lower, but Li Xiaoqi instantly understood, exhaled softly, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Get up, I didn't think about it, I didn't expect this, alas, I almost hurt you kindly, get up, hurry up and pack up, and I'll be in a hurry later." Danyue and Haitang hurriedly stood up, agreed with a smile, and busily packed up their things, and the little maid outside sent clothes in, and the two waited for Li Xiaoqi to change their clothes, put on a cloak and hat, and wrapped their heads and faces tightly, and the two also changed their clothes, and followed Li Xiaoqi out of the main house.

Long-term followed Nanning in, and said to Li Xiaoqi for a long time: "The things that the girl ordered have been passed down, and those who have just hit the front station have already set off, and the posts in front of them are ready to prepare their horses at the intersection, let's change horses and leave, and rest for half an hour at the Luoqiu Post tonight, and rest for half an hour at the Zhangmu Post tomorrow morning••••••"

"You can discuss these details with Nanning and Xi'an." Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to interrupt the long term, and while motioning for him to go out, he continued: "Let's hurry up." ”

"Yes!" The long term agreed, let Li Xiaoqi and Danyue and Haitang follow out of the post station, and a group of more than a dozen people got on the horse and galloped away in the direction of Rucheng.

This way, in addition to the morning and evening rest for half an hour to wash, drink hot water and change clothes, the rest of the time is in the horse gallop, long-term and Nanning's itinerary is extremely accurate, the fifth day early in the morning, a group of people entered the Rucheng Station, but also the last post station from Beiping to Wu.

Li Xiaoqi was so tired that he was like a handful of bones that had fallen apart, he didn't know where it hurt and where it didn't hurt, he got off the horse, desperately suppressed the idea of being paralyzed on the ground and never getting up again, moved his legs into Rucheng Station, washed out, and Nanning had already arranged the vehicle, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and looked at the oil in front of him The oil is translucent and beautiful and abnormal paulownia car, the car is surrounded by thick cheesecloth elephant eye lattice fence, and the corners of the car are wrapped with bright copper sheets, which is used by the rich people's homes at a glance, Li Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction, looked at Nanning and asked, "This car was prepared by Rucheng?" ”

"It was prepared by Rucheng's side, but it wasn't Lord Yao, it was prepared by Rucheng's spies." Chang Chang explained with a smile, Li Xiaoqi exhaled, pondered for a moment and ordered: "After entering the country of Wu, and then traveling day and night like this, there must be a suitable reason, in this way, let's talk about the funeral, just this one, no matter how busy I am on the road, I am tired, rest here for three or four hours, everyone sleep well, get ready, and set off in the middle of the night." Nanning and Changchang were choked by Li Xiaoyi's words of mourning, and were stunned for a moment before looking at each other and agreeing.

Danyue and Begonia were so tired that they couldn't even speak, and when they heard Li Xiaoqi say that they were going to rest for a long time, they were almost excited to tears pouring out, and they hurriedly moved over and reluctantly waited for Li Xiaoqi to sleep on the kang, and the two also climbed to the other end of the big kang, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep, they were tired and couldn't take care of anything at this time!
