The letter was still written when Shen Che didn't arrive in the capital, so what Lu Yingquan and the others received was actually a few days ago.

The content is not very important, it is nothing more than Shen Che explaining his location, talking about some inconsequential trivial things, and telling Gu Qingming and Yun Yao to protect Lu Yingquan well, especially to take care of the fetus in the womb.

"According to the footsteps, Your Highness, they should have already arrived in the capital. In a few days, it will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qin, and His Royal Highness is under the pervasive surveillance of the Empress Dowager Qin, so it will be difficult to send the letter out again. After Yun Yao read the letter, she burned the letter, and there was no trace left.

"I believe that with the wisdom of His Highness, he will be able to retreat with his whole body. Lu Yingquan has an inexplicable trust in Shen Che, "What we should worry about now is how to use Haoguo as a breakthrough to help His Highness win the support of King Hao." ”

Lu Yingquan's voice fell, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming glanced at each other, and saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

They entered the territory of Haoguo three days ago, and it took three days to walk from the border of Haoguo to the capital of Haoguo. And in these three days, they also saw what Haoguo was like.

It is rumored that King Hao worked hard, was diligent in government and loved the people, and vividly displayed the responsibilities of a vassal king. Originally, Yun Yao thought that this was just an exaggeration, after all, no vassal king could still show his political talent and ambition under the surveillance of the Empress Dowager Qin.

But now that I see everything in Haoguo, I know that this is not fiction, but real.

Originally, I thought that Yiguo was already the most peaceful and happy pure land in the feudal country, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, without natural and man-made disasters, but Haoguo was more prosperous under the governance of Shen Yan, the king of Hao.

Although it does not reach the level of not leaving the road behind and not closing the door at night, the business and travel are endless, the streets are bustling and lively, and the faces of the people are involuntarily filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

And such a smile can't be disguised, and only when the people really live well will they have such a satisfied expression. And all of this is due to the hard work of King Hao.

Because of this, Haoguo is like an iron wall, without any flaws, making it impossible for people to start.

Yun Yao remembered what the Empress Dowager Qin had said to her in the past in order to let her go to Haoguo as a fine worker. Maybe the Empress Dowager Qin didn't expect that things would go out of her original plan, so she told Yun Yao a lot of information that shouldn't be said in advance, which also allowed Yun Yao to rely on at this moment.

I remember that the Empress Dowager Qin said that King Yi was drunk and dreamed of death, King Bi was obscene and lustful, King Jing liked male style, King Rui was ambitious, King Jade was frail and sickly, and King Cheng was insatiable, but only King Hao was the most normal one among the seven feudal kings. And it is precisely because King Hao is too normal that everything seems unusual.

And the purpose of the Empress Dowager Qin in sending Yun Yao to Haoguo in the past was to secretly explore the weakness and handle of King Hao, so that King Hao would also become a member of the Empress Dowager Qin's control. It's a pity that later when King Kong Mountain changed and reunited with Gu Qingming, she didn't go to Haoguo, but went to Yiguo by mistake.

"I have been on the road for many days in a row, and I guess my wife's body is also a little unbearable. It's better to have a good rest at the inn first, and I'll go out and inquire and see if I can find out any news. Gu Qingming opened his mouth and said, "Compared with the alliance with Haoguo, the child in Madame's womb is more important. ”

"I don't have to do it. Lu Yingquan shook his head and said, "Let Sisi change back into women's clothes, take care of me at the inn, and you can take Yun Yao out to investigate." Yun Yao has always been careful, and she may be able to find something that is easy to ignore. ”

Gu Qingming pondered for a moment, and felt that what Lu Yingquan said made sense, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, but Madame's safety can't be ignored, Achen is guarding in the dark, if there is anything, Madame can let Achen do it." ”

"Don't worry, I won't leave the door of this inn until you return. Lu Yingquan understood very well, "What's more, Achen's martial arts are strong, so he must be fine." ”

After a few people discussed, they asked Sisi to change back into women's clothes and stay in the inn to take care of Lu Yingquan, Achen was secretly protecting, and Gu Qingming and Yun Yao went out to find out the news.

In fact, Lu Yingquan also knew how important she was, knew that the child in her belly was all hope, and knew that if she had any accidents, it would disrupt all of Shen Che's deployments, and even implicate Yun Yao and Gu Qingming, so she tried not to hold Yun Yao and Gu Qingming back. There are many things she can't do, and she doesn't do it, just leave it to them, after all, these two people are also people she and Shen Che trust.

Gu Qingming and Yun Yao left the inn and walked slowly along the bustling streets of the Haoguo Capital.

There is an endless stream of small stalls and vendors selling on the street, customers come and go, the door is like a market, the woman who carries a basket to buy vegetables, the scholar who holds calligraphy and painting in his hand, the daughter who holds his arm to look at the rouge gouache, and all kinds of people......

All of this, as if it was a dream, appeared in front of Yun Yao.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen such a scene, so lively, so vibrant, and the smiles on everyone's faces were so sincere, even if there was a quarrel, the most she could do was to complain a few words.

Everything is completely different from the palace, she doesn't have to go out to see only the deep palace walls, she doesn't need to look up to see the surrounded sky, and she doesn't have to worry about a little thing to die in Huangquan.

She laughs whenever she wants, and she no longer has to live according to her own temperament.

Thinking like this, even her steps began to brisk, for her, this was the ordinary life she dreamed of, and it was also a distant place that she could only envy for the time being but could not reach.

Gu Qingming seemed to be able to feel the change in Yun Yao's mood, he looked at the girl walking in front of him on his right, and the doting smile on the corner of his mouth did not converge for a moment. In this strange place, no one knew that she was Yun Yao, so she could release herself without scruples for the time being, in the final analysis, she was just a young woman, like all girls in the world, with an ordinary and beautiful dream.

"Will ...... Qingming, is this good-looking?" Yun Yao's clear voice made Gu Qingming come back to his senses and look not far ahead.

The woman, who was not very beautiful, but smiled very brightly, held a beaded hairpin in her hand and placed it on her sideburns, motioning for him to look. And her smile had a brightness that had never appeared before, dazzling his eyes.

At the beginning, Yun Yao subconsciously wanted to call Gu Qingming a general, but then he thought that this was Haoguo, and they had to hide their identity, so they immediately changed their words. And the word "Qingming" blurted out so without hesitation, so naturally, without a little embarrassment, it was like floating between his lips for a long time, and he finally had the opportunity to call him.

"Girl, you have such a good eye, this pearl hairpin is made by my lady, and it is also her favorite one. If the girl likes it, I'll sell it to you cheaper!" the hawker who sold the hairpins was eloquent, and immediately opened his mouth to pull business.

"How much is this?" Gu Qingming walked over and asked.

"Three pennies of silver. The peddler said, "Childe is going to buy it for this girl, right?" I have three dollars of silver here, why don't you buy two pieces of silver, and I will give you a total of five dollars?"

"The boss is good at business. Gu Qingming smiled, directly handed the vendor five coins of silver, and then picked out a bracelet from the stall and bought it together with the pearl hairpin in Yun Yao's hand.

"Thank you, Childe!" The vendor was very happy to receive the silver, "Childe is so generous, he will definitely be able to hold the beauty as soon as possible!"

In a word, it made Yun Yao blush, she stuffed the pearl hairpin into Gu Qingming's hand, stomped her foot and ran forward, seemingly very shy.

Gu Qingming couldn't help laughing, took the beads and bracelets, and went to chase his sweetheart.

There were a lot of people on the street, and Yun Yao ran fast, and disappeared after a while. Gu Qingming stood where he was, looking around, wanting to find Yun Yao's figure, but suddenly found Yun Yao running across the street.

And at this time, a carriage came at a very fast speed and rushed towards Yun Yao, and the driver who was driving seemed to be unable to control the carriage at all, although he was trying to control it, but the carriage still rampaged, damaging many stalls on the side of the street, and also hitting many people.

Yun Yao had also seen the carriage, and she instinctively ran away, but found that an old woman had fallen on the ground, and a vegetable basket had fallen beside her, and all kinds of vegetables had rolled to the side, looking very messy.

Almost without hesitation, Yun Yao ran over, helped the old woman up, and prepared to take her with her, but the carriage was already close in front of her.

Gu Qingming didn't care about revealing his identity at this time, he used light skills, flew out, jumped in front of Yun Yao, and stopped the crazy carriage with his own strength, forcing the carriage to stop halfway, and also avoided more people from being knocked down by the carriage.

The carriage was finally controlled and no longer rampage, Gu Qingming ignored the owner of the carriage, and turned to Yun Yao: "A-Yao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but this lady may be injured, so I'll help her to the side first. Yun Yao was also shocked, but she still shook her head, helped the old woman to the side of the road, and helped the old woman deal with the wounds caused by the fall.

Yun Yao was a healer in the end, she always had gold sore medicine on her body, and she was skillful in her movements, so she quickly helped the old woman bandage her wounds.

"Girl, thank you, you are such a good person, if it weren't for you today, my old life might be gone. The old woman wiped away her tears and said, "These rich people always take human lives seriously and bully us inferior people......

"I'm sorry, lady, I didn't mean to let the carriage hit people, it was only because the horse suddenly went crazy and couldn't control it. Suddenly, a voice sounded, and it was the driver who had just been driving.

The coachman held a silver ingot in his hand and handed it to the old lady, saying that he was apologizing to her and compensating her for her medical expenses.

"The horse suddenly went crazy, you shouldn't have driven the car to the downtown area, there are many people here and it is dense, if someone really dies today, what should you do?" Yun Yao was a little angry in her heart, so she couldn't help but meddle in her affairs.
