At this moment, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front.

The soldier guarding our carriage hadn't reacted yet, but Boss Wang seemed to have caught it immediately, and he immediately turned his head to look ahead, as if he was relieved. As soon as he saw him like this, the soldier also turned his head away, and only glanced at him, and his brow furrowed.

Cai Wei hurriedly buried her face in my arms, and at this time she also raised her head to look at me, and listened to the voices outside, as if asking-What's wrong?

I also want to know what happened.

I approached the window on the other side, carefully lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out.

I saw that on the road ahead, a convoy drove over, led by a rather gorgeous, spacious carriage, from the finely carved body, to the curtain made of brocade, which is not something that ordinary rich people can enjoy, especially on both sides of the convoy There is also a group of guards, all of them are richly dressed, dragon horse spirit, at first glance it is not an ordinary hospital guard.

When they saw the convoy coming, the soldiers were stunned.

The leader of the soldiers, who had been asking us, frowned and walked over slowly: "Who? What's up? ”

Cai Wei and I both held our breath and listened to the movement outside.

The carriage shook slightly because the carriage stopped, and the people inside did not make any sound, it was so quiet, and for a while the people around were also quiet, although there was no sound, but the sudden silence was like that brought by the people in the car, and it controlled everyone's breathing and heartbeat at once.

The soldiers, one by one, also became cautious, staring at the carriage, but did not dare to act rashly.

For some reason, this scene reminds me of many years ago, after I followed Pei Yuanhao down the south of the Yangtze River, and was stopped outside the city gate when I returned to the capital, a team of carriages came over and relieved us of the siege.

It's just that at that time, in the carriage was Chang Yanbai, the Taishi who was still in the court, and his daughter, Chang Qing, who was later the lord of the Six Palaces.

Who is the man in the carriage this time?

I looked at the carriage with burning eyes, and at this time, the leader of the soldiers had already walked to the carriage, and it seemed that he also sensed that the identity of the person was not simple, and he leaned over and saluted: "Excuse me—"

This time, before he could finish his words, a voice came from the carriage.

"Who is it that stopped my car?"

This voice is very unfamiliar, I have never heard it, but for some reason, it makes people's hearts cold, because the sound quality of this voice is very special, young, but full of calmness and wisdom, and even can feel a kind of heartfelt confidence and arrogance, like an ice edge across people's skin, bringing not stinging, but it seems to be extremely stimulating coolness.

The man said, "We are from the Ministry of War. ”

The people in the car seemed to laugh, but the laughter was very short: "Then do you know, whose car can't be stopped by the people of the military department?" ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, it was like an ice blade that pierced everyone's chest.

The soldiers were all speechless.

At this time, the voice said shortly: "Go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the groom of his carriage had immediately turned the head of the car, and the driver of our carriage also had to order, immediately shook the reins, and the horses pulling the carriage ran forward, seeing that our carriage was about to pass through the checkpoint, and no one of those soldiers stepped forward to stop him, at this time, the leader of the group of soldiers stepped forward quickly, and when the carriage had just turned around and had not had time to run away, he said respectfully: "Dare to ask, is it Lord Yang on the carriage?" ”

“……”

The people in the car did not speak, but in this way, it was acquiesced.

I couldn't help but gasp.

Before that voice came out just now, I didn't guess that such a convoy would come over, the person in the car must not be an ordinary person, it was very likely to be Yang Wanyun, but as soon as that voice sounded, I denied my idea, because this voice was too young, although it was full of calmness and wisdom, I also guessed whether it would be other sons of the Yang family, but I didn't expect that it was really the high-powered Lord Yang!

Yang Yunhui and Yang Jinqiao's father, Yang Wanyun, the only imperial merchant of the Celestial Empire!

As soon as I saw that the people in the car acquiesced to his identity, not only me, but almost all of them gasped.

The leader thought for a while, saluted respectfully to the carriage, and then said, "Of course we don't dare to stop Lord Yang's car, and we don't dare to check the people in the car." However, after all, we are people from the Ministry of War, if Lord Shangshu asks at that time, then what should we say, can Lord Yang explain? ”

This is already obvious, if Nangong Jinhong wants to find out, they will have to report what happened here today.

Yang Wanyun's carriage was quieter, and he didn't even sneer, but the coachman seemed to have an order, raised his horsewhip, and drove the car forward.

And then our carriage moved forward.

I sat on the car, watching the guards in front of me slowly slow down until they were parallel to our carriage, obviously, and also included this carriage in their protection, I thought about it, turned back to Boss Wang, who took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead: "The one in the car is really Lord Yang Wanyun Yang?" ”

As soon as he heard the name "Yang Wanyun", Boss Wang was in awe, his face was straight, and he said, "Exactly." ”

"But I listened to that voice, so young, like a young man."

"That's how our boss is."

"But how did he come here? Did you come to pick us up? ”

"......" Boss Wang didn't speak, but looking at his appearance, he obviously acquiesced.

I frowned slightly: "He, how did you know we were here?" ”

“……”

Boss Wang still didn't speak.

At this time, I remembered that night, when he had just arrived at the door of the inn at the inn, I clearly saw a figure flashing behind his carriage, a short dress, which should be the escort he carried, or the person who persuaded the waiter, but the next day he did not see that person again, and there was no one else around Boss Wang except the coachman who drove the car.

To say that he has such a net worth, in order to speed up the journey, he is easy to drive, and there are not many people around him, but there is only one coachman, which is obviously not in line with his identity.

Now I understand.

That person was supposed to serve with him all the way, but after that day, that person disappeared, not to go somewhere else, but to hurry ahead of us, maybe he had already arrived in the capital.

It was precisely because he was one step ahead that he knew that there was a roadblock ahead faster than us, and Yang Wanyun got his report that he arrived at this time to relieve us.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This time, I can't help but say that it was my luck.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the luxurious carriage in front of me through the shaking curtains, thought for a while, and said, "Do I want to get out of the car and go to meet Lord Yang?" I'm a junior, and I should bow too. ”

Boss Wang shook his head: "It's wild here, and our boss doesn't want to get out of the car." Besides, he didn't come, which means that now is not the time to meet. ”

"Oh......"

"Madame, rest assured, when it's time to meet, the boss will naturally come to meet Madame."

“…… Well. ”

I nodded, and then I calmed down, but there was still a trace of unconcealable apprehension in my heart, just like these two comfortable and soft carriages, after all, they could not completely avoid the bumps in the carriage, leaning on the side of the bed, watching the car in front of me move forward, and slowly quieted down.

|

What I didn't expect was that I didn't stop along the way.

After all, the driver didn't stop after leaving that level, and when I was tired from the slow jolting, I took a nap leaning on Cai Wei, and when I woke up again, I found that it was dawn.

We walked for nearly ten hours.

I was woken up by the noise outside, when I opened my eyes, Cai Wei was excited, trying to tilt her head to look out of the window, just because I leaned on her shoulder, in order to wake me up, she didn't dare to move, at this time when she saw me awake, she became more and more excited, and said, "Madam, you are awake!" ”

"Hmmm......"

I was still a little confused, and I rubbed my eyes lightly, and I heard her say, "We're in the capital!" ”

"What?!"

I was taken aback, looked at her, and then turned my head to look at Boss Wang, who also looked at me with a smile: "Madam, when I woke up, the sky above my head had changed." ”

I still couldn't believe it, so I hurriedly reached out to open the curtain and looked out, but no, it was already a spacious street outside, rows of shops, a lively street market, and an endless stream of people, and even heard those familiar accents, the sound of the street vendors shouting loudly, the sound of the shopkeeper trying to greet him, the sound of watching the loud cheers around the sellers, and the warm greetings of the people when they saw acquaintances on the street.

The capital, it is really the capital!

In a dream, I actually arrived in the capital!

I looked outside in a daze, Cai Wei also looked outside, but she was so happy that she almost went crazy, she was a little girl who grew up in Jiangnan, probably never dreamed that she could one day reach the feet of the Son of Heaven, seeing such a prosperous scene, those big smart eyes looked at the lively scene outside, as if they were threaded, they were all straight, and they couldn't pull back.

However, after looking at the scenery for a while, I gradually woke up from the excitement and panic of returning to the capital.

The carriage is still moving.

I looked back at Boss Wang: "Where are we going now?" ”

Boss Wang said with a smile: "When I came to the capital, of course, I went to our big boss's house first." The big boss is going to entertain the lady! ”

Going to Yang's house?

My brow furrowed.

Although this may have been in my mind since I met Boss Wang, when it came to facing it, it still made me a little apprehensive.

There are some things in particular that I haven't fully figured out yet.

I raised my head to look at him, and said, "Boss Wang, there is one thing, you should be able to answer me now, right?" ”

"......" The smile on his round face gradually receded, like the sand and gravel on the beach exposed after the low tide, and his face slowly showed a solemn expression.

I looked into his eyes and asked word by word: "On this way, but you, are you arranging?" ”
