Chapter 573: Bi Luo returns to Beijing
From Linzhou Mansion City to Chaoyang Town, I didn't stop all the way and went directly to Chaoyang Town, and when I passed by Guanlanju, I happened to see the shopkeeper Qi standing at the door talking to people.
"Shopkeeper Qi!" Hua Qingyan instructed the driver to stop the car and poked his head out of the window to say hello.
Shopkeeper Qi was stunned for a moment, and even plucked out his ears, he felt that this voice was too familiar, but he also felt that it was impossible, that person was still in Yongjing City, why didn't he come back when there was no New Year's Day!
However, the shopkeeper turned his head, "Ho! Miss Qingyan is really you! ”
Shopkeeper Qi couldn't take care of the person who spoke before at this time, and ran over in three or two steps, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Qingyan coming back?" You can rest assured that everything is fine with the lodge and the shop. ”
Hua Qingyan knew that it was the shopkeeper Qi who had been taking care of her villa and shop, and thanks to the shopkeeper Qi, she was able to go to Yongjing City with peace of mind and hand over such a big stall to Hua Biluo's girl, Hua Qingyan was still a little uneasy.
"Shopkeeper Qi has a heart, I just came back to recuperate, nothing serious." Hua Qingyan smiled and said, "There are many people on our side, so we won't block this door, when will the shopkeeper Qi be free and go to the villa to sit, you will go to work first." ”
Shopkeeper Qi agreed again and again, and just wanted to send Hua Qingyan away, but he remembered something and hurriedly said, "Oops, I almost forgot something important!" ”
"Miss Qingyan, Miss Biluo and Zhao Gongzi have gone to Yongjing to find you!"
Hua Qingyan was stunned, a little incredulous: "Biluo went to the capital?" ”
Shopkeeper Qi nodded, his expression was serious, obviously not lying, "Miss Biluo and Zhao Gongzi have been on departure for half a month, and they plan to go to Yongjing City to surprise you." Judging by your expression, I'm afraid I didn't meet you halfway through. ”
Shopkeeper Qi also felt a little pity when he said it, didn't this Hua Bi fall to Yongjing City just want to pounce, and he heard that the situation was unstable now, and he didn't know that the two of them had not encountered danger or trouble along the way.
Hua Qingyan also has such worries, after all, Hua Biluo is a girl who has no power to restrain the chicken, and a boy who can work hard but is only a weak son, if these two people are not protected, how can they reach Yongjing City safely. What's more, the road is not smooth, and Yongjing City is also under martial law, so I really don't know what they will encounter along the way.
"Don't worry, county lord, I will send someone to find Biluo and Zhao Gongzi." Seeing Hua Qingyan's worries, Yu Jiamin promised, "I won't let them have an accident." ”
Hua Qingyan knew Yu Jiamin's ability, and her hanging heart also fell a little. She said a few words to the shopkeeper and then asked the coachman to drive to the dim sum shop, without alarming the shopkeeper in the shop, but just glanced at it and casually asked the accompanying maid to buy some snacks, and they went back to the mountain village.
Yu'er and the Queen Mother had never been here, so they opened the car window and looked curiously at the scenery outside the window. The mountains and villages are beautiful, and now it is different from the past. The villagers looked at the flowers of the Flowering Villa, so they asked for a lot of seeds from the people of the Villa, and planted them in their yards or on the roadside in the village, so as soon as the flowers bloomed, the whole mountain village was decorated with extraordinary beauty.
"It's even better than the Imperial Garden." The Queen Mother sighed.
The flowers in the royal garden are planted and maintained, and they will be sorted out every once in a while, and they are pruned in a regular manner. Small flowers of different colors are dotted in the mountains, making the whole village come alive, which slowly, it is like walking into a paradise.
"I didn't expect that I didn't come back for a while, and the village has changed so much." Hua Qingyan also sighed.
Because of the relationship between Hua Qingyan, the villagers in the backing mountain village have become rich, and bluestone brick and tile compounds have been built, and the flowers are full of flowers, which looks particularly good.
But even so, the habits of the villagers have not changed, and there are still many girls and women sitting under the big willow tree at the head of the village, chatting while embroidering, and when they see the carriage, they also glance at it curiously, and do not pay much attention to it.
Hua Qingyan didn't mean to greet them, so she asked the coachman to drive the carriage directly to the north of the village.
"That's Qingyan's villa!" The Queen Mother looked at it, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes. After all, no matter how splendid the entire palace is, there is no such freedom.
Hua Qingyan smiled and didn't say anything. There are so many of them, naturally they have attracted the attention of the guards left behind in the villa, and soon someone will greet them, and they are naturally happy to see Hua Qingyan, so they hurriedly took them out, and arranged the room according to Hua Qingyan's instructions, so that the host and guests are very comfortable!
On the outskirts of Yongjing City, an ordinary carriage drove slowly from the official road, driven by a very weak son, whose face was white and pure, and he really didn't look like a coachman.
The driver looked at the rows of soldiers wearing armor at the gate of the city, frowned, parked the car on the side of the road, turned to the car and said: "Biluo, it seems that the villagers we met before did not lie to us, the city gate is really under martial law, and we can't enter it for the time being." ”
This is no one else, it is Zhao Yuncheng.
Hua Biluo got out of the carriage, followed Zhao Yuncheng's gaze, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "What should we do if we can't get in?" We're here to find Sister Qingyan, but we can't be blocked outside this city. ”
Zhao Yuncheng patted her head lightly, "It's not that you can't get in, but you can't get in and out, and I heard that the royal family has made big moves, and it's not safe in this city." Let's wait until the situation stabilizes before we go in. ”
Hua Biluo is not stupid, what happened along the way, and what she heard, made her understand that this Yongjing City is really unsafe. But it was precisely because of this that she was even more worried, Hua Qingyan was in the city, and behind her was the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion, which was simply a live target.
"I want to see how my sister is doing, and my godfather and godmother. The royal family is overthrown, and the first to suffer must be these officials. The godfather is on the emperor's side, and he holds the military power, and the other faction will definitely attack the godfather. Hua Biluo was worried, where can the Hua family experience such a thing again, the previous framing has greatly damaged the vitality of the Hua family, if it comes again, then the Hua family is afraid that this time it will not be as lucky as before.
"I know, I know," Zhao Yuncheng reached out and took her into his arms, patted her to comfort her, and frowned at the heavily guarded city gate, thinking about what to do next, in order to ensure that Hua Biluo was at ease. But now it is not a way for them to stop here, Zhao Yuncheng thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the nearby village to find a place to settle down first, and then let's think about entering the city, if you want to help the county lord, you also need to think long-term." ”
Hua Biluo's mood stabilized a little, and she nodded in agreement with Zhao Yuncheng's proposal. After Hua Biluo sat back in the carriage, Zhao Yuncheng picked up the carriage again and chose the west to walk over. Although Zhao Yuncheng came to Yongjing for the first time, he also inquired a lot along the way, and even inquired about the surrounding situation clearly. There is a small village in the west of Yongjing City, there are not many people, and it is a little barren, but the villagers are kind and simple, and it is a good place to stay.
However, Zhao Yuncheng noticed that something was wrong as soon as he arrived at the gate of the village, it was still broad daylight, but the village seemed to be a little too quiet, and there were several big men sitting there at the village gate, glancing at the road outside the village from time to time. Seeing Zhao Yuncheng and their carriage, although he still had a casual expression, his eyes were much sharper. Zhao Yuncheng felt that glance as if he wanted to see him through!
Zhao Yuncheng subconsciously stopped the carriage and hesitated to go back to another village.
Hua Biluo in the carriage felt that the carriage had stopped, and couldn't help but poke her head out: "What's wrong?" How did it stop? ”
Zhao Yuncheng didn't want Hua Biluo to be careful, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's change the village." ”
"Isn't this village bad?" Hua Biluo looked forward, and also saw those men. Those men also looked at them, and just looking at each other made Hua Biluo feel a little creepy.
She didn't say anything, and patted Zhao Yuncheng on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go, we are not welcome in this village." ”
Zhao Yuncheng nodded, and just wanted to leave in a hurry, but a person came out of the village slowly, and the person was obviously going out, and he was still carrying a box on his shoulder. Zhao Yuncheng's movements paused, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Hu Langzhong!" ”
Hu Qing also saw Zhao Yuncheng, obviously didn't expect him to appear here, walked over and said in surprise: "Zhao Gongzi, why are you here?" Where's the girl? ”
As soon as the words fell, Hua Biluo got out of the carriage, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, "Uncle Hu!" Uncle Hu! Hua Biluo flew out of the carriage, threw herself into Hu Qing's arms, grabbed his arm and shook it, "Uncle Hu, why are you here?" What a pleasure to meet you! ”
Hua Biluo had a lot of questions, but she was so excited that she didn't know where to start for a while.
Hu Qing patted Hua Biluo's head, "Why are you here, you haven't been restless lately, you should stay in the mountain village." Having said that, Hu Qing did not let them go back, but led them to the village, saying as he walked, "Now that the city is in chaos, don't go in, if you go in, you won't be able to get out, and you won't have to worry about us." ”
Hua Qingyan's worries diluted the joy of seeing Hu Qing again, and Hua Biluo frowned and said, "But my sister and godfather are both in the city, and I want to go and see them." ”
"Your sister isn't in the city." Hu Qingdao, and told them about going south to the palace of Lin'an Mansion again, which naturally hid the part where Hua Qingyan was injured, which also made Hua Biluo feel a little relieved.
