Chapter 236: Retirement
The next morning, Lu Yao left the inn with the scholar.
Before leaving, he also left a hand-drawn map of Liaodong County.
With this map, the three of them can find Xingning with unmistakable accuracy.
As soon as Lu Yao and the guards of the county guard left, the inn suddenly became deserted.
The guests who stayed before were all driven away by the escorts, and now the guests in the inn are only Yu Yuanyuan, Angelica, and Luo Pingsha.
The innkeeper knew that the three of them had a relationship with the eldest prince of the county guard's mansion, and for fear of offending them, he personally delivered breakfast to their room, and said that this breakfast was given to them for free, and hoped that they could have a pleasant stay here.
Yu Yuan looked at him and asked.
"I heard that King Min has come to Liaodong County, is this true?"
The innkeeper didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully.
"It's true, there is also the king of Langjun, you know the king of Langjun, right?
It is the living king of Hell who is in charge of the Fa-rectification Division, and his reputation is very evil.
I heard that he was ordered to escort King Min back to Liaodong County this time.
They passed by us before, and the battle was huge! ”
Yu Yuanxuan pretended to be curious and continued to ask.
"How long ago did they pass through here? We are also going to Xingning, for fear of colliding with them, disturbing the nobles, and trying to stagger the time with them."
"It was probably three days ago, and at your speed, you shouldn't be able to touch them, so don't worry."
Yu Yuan knew in his heart: "Thank you." ”
The innkeeper: "Then I won't disturb your meal, if you have any other orders, just shout, I'll be on call." ”
After the shopkeeper left, Luo Pingsha unfolded the map and clicked on it with his fingertips.
"Now that we are here, we will walk along this official road, and if nothing else, we will be able to reach Xingning in about four days."
Yu Xuan swallowed the shrimp dumplings in his mouth: "We don't have much time, let's speed up next, there may not be much time to stop and rest on the way, Angelica, does your wound still hurt?" ”
Angelica hurriedly said: "It doesn't hurt for a long time, the wounds are scabbed, Brother Luo said, my wounds are about to heal." ”
Yu Yuan put his mind at ease: "That's good." ”
The three of them quickly settled their breakfast, then prepared dry food and water, and continued on their way.
Next, they were on their way except for the necessary rest.
After four days and nights, they finally saw the gate of Xingning.
Meanwhile.
The county guard's mansion was overcast.
Mrs. Shu Shi sat at the table, she was only in her forties this year, her hair was meticulously combed, and there were only two golden hairpins inserted between her buns, dressed very simply, but with a lot of momentum.
She put half of the Buddhist scriptures on the table, frowned, and asked with a calm face.
"Still won't change his mind?"
Mama Zheng sighed: "No, the eldest prince is determined this time, and he has to withdraw from the Tang family's marriage." He didn't eat a bite of the food we sent, it's been a day and a night, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid that his body and bones will not be able to hold it. ”
Shu Shi was angry, raised his hand and slapped the table violently, and said angrily.
"Did he think that would force me to compromise? Go and tell him that even if he starves himself to death, I don't think I can let him do anything! ”
Mama Zheng hurriedly comforted.
"Madam, don't say such angry words, the eldest prince is your heart's meat, how can you be willing to let him starve to death, they are all a family, how can there be an overnight feud? Let's calm down and think about countermeasures slowly. ”
As she spoke, she offered a soothing hot tea.
Shu Shi took a sip of tea and felt that the breath in his heart was a little smoother.
She said coldly.
"Yun Zhong is from my son, and I understand his temperament.
He had long known that he had a marriage contract with Tang Guixi, but he had never shown an attitude of rejection before.
This shows that he can accept himself marrying Tang Guixi as his wife.
Now he suddenly proposed to withdraw from his family, there must be a reason for this. ”
Mama Zheng: "What do you mean?" ”
Shu Shi said slowly.
"We are all from the past, and we all know in our hearts that the only thing that can make a man insist on not marrying is that he meets another woman, a woman who makes him want to marry him even more."
Mama Zheng reacted quickly and said immediately.
"This time, Lu Sixteen escorted the eldest prince back, so I'll have someone call him over and ask."
Shu Shi bowed slightly: "Go ahead." ”
Mama Zheng left in a hurry.
Shu Shi pinched the corners of his forehead, and his eyes were full of boredom.
Before her son didn't come back, she was thinking about it day and night, and she was looking forward to her son's coming back soon.
Now that her son is finally back, it hasn't been long since she was happy, and the kid shouted that he wanted to quit his family.
The relationship between the Lu family and the Tang family is very important, it is like a rope, firmly binding the two families together, and it is absolutely impossible to break it.
If Lu Yao and his father knew about this, they would definitely break Lu Yao's legs!
Now the only thing that makes Shu happy is that Lu Yao and his father accompanied King Min and King Langjun to Xiangtai, and they couldn't come back for a while.
She had to kill Lu Yao's desire to quit before Lu Yao's father came back.
Soon, Mama Zheng came back with Lu Sixteen.
Shu asked.
"You sent Yun back this time, did you see anyone with him around?"
Lu Sixteen hesitated.
Mama Zheng immediately said: "If you have something to say, just say it, now that the master is not at home, the affairs in the house are all decided by the lady, you must not make the lady angry." ”
Lu Sixteen had to tell the truth.
When the subordinates found the eldest son, they saw three people beside him, a man and two women, who were said to be three brothers and sisters.
They also wanted to come to Xingning, and they met the eldest prince on the road, so they hurried with their companions. ”
Shu Shi asked: "What is the identity of the three brothers and sisters?" What is your name? ”
Lu Sixteen shook his head: "My subordinates don't know. ”
"Do you remember what they looked like?"
This time, Lu Sixteen nodded: "I remember." ”
Shu Shi smiled coldly: "Very good, you take people to guard near the city gate, as long as you see those three brothers and sisters entering the city, you will take them down directly." ”
Lu Sixteen hesitated: "The eldest prince has a good relationship with the three brothers and sisters, if you let the eldest prince know about this, I'm afraid I will be angry." ”
Shu: "You just do what I say, and I'll take care of what happens." ”
Lu Sixteen complained bitterly in his heart.
That's what Madame said, but after all, she is the mother of the eldest prince, and if the eldest prince really wants to be held accountable, he will definitely not dare to do anything to her, and in the end it is he who is unlucky to be cannon fodder.
But Madame's attitude is very strong, and now that the county guard is not in the mansion, Lu Sixteen has no choice but to deal with it.
"My subordinates will do it."
It's also a coincidence that as soon as Lu Sixteen rushed to the vicinity of the city gate with people, he saw Yu Yuanxuan and the three of them.
