Chapter 179: Into the City

"Let's go back then."

Fu Ru'an's expression was still extremely flat, as if he had just made an inconsequential decision.

On the contrary, Fu Shan's expression on the opposite side was a little complicated, and he deliberately wanted to persuade his master.

Even if he was in charge, he knew that the old lady and the young master had a deep relationship, but the old man called people back at this time, didn't that show what kind of thoughts he had?

"Young master, master, this is for the rock candy in your hand!"

Today's rock candy business opportunities are unlimited, even if they agreed with Ye Hao in advance to set the price, the benefits are not as big as imagined.

But such a delicate and clear sugar, which is sold in limited quantities, has long been robbed crazy.

Fu Hongzhuo called Fu Ru'an back at this time, it was simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knew it, why did the latter hit the other party's gun by himself?

Although Fu Shan's surname is Fu, he was picked up by Mrs. Xian, and when it comes to loyalty, he is only loyal to Mrs. Xian and Fu Ru'an.

Hearing Fu Shan's persuasion, Fu Ru'an waved his hand, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but there was not much smile in it.

"In the past, I didn't fight or grab, because I felt that I didn't have many days to live, and it was meaningless. But now, since he knows that he can survive for a long time, how can he be bullied? Besides, I have to let my grandmother know the good news."

My grandmother is old, and she worries most about her body.

If it weren't for the fact that there was something to make trouble in the steproom of the Fu family, Fu Ru'an would have told him that his condition had stabilized.

I have my grandfather's family to protect me, so the steproom can't make trouble for myself. But my grandmother is now at home, and her body is not very good, so don't go back to the road.

Even if this probability is very low, Fu Ruan has to guard against it.

Hearing this, Fu Shan saw that his master had made a decision, so he had no choice but to accept it and go to prepare for it.

After he left, Fu Ru'an wrote a letter with a pen, informing Ye Hao and the others that they were going back to Jiangnan, and they might have to stay for a few days.

Of course, it won't be long.

Immediately, the letter was sent to Chengpingzhou County.

Ye Hao and the others on the other side traveled in a carriage for another two or three days, and arrived at the boundary of Lin City.

But they did not prepare to enter the city, but turned around from the official road, which was still some distance from the city gate, and entered a small road.

The carriage stayed on the trail for a while, and Lin Bin walked out of the trail alone and lined up into Lin City.

The dry food and water brought from Liancheng had been almost consumed on the way in the past two days, especially the steamed buns made by Ye Hao, which had been eaten cleanly.

They had to send more people into the city to replenish some more, while the others waited on the paths.

"You two gluttonies!"

Angrily nodded on the forehead of one big and one small, but Ye Hao was not really angry, just a little speechless.

That night, she steamed 50 steamed buns and 50 steamed buns! It was because I saw Lin Bin's appetite the day before that I increased the amount.

Originally, she thought that these would be enough to support her to rush to Chengpingzhou County, but she didn't expect that before half of the journey was over, the dry food would be consumed.

And most importantly! Lin Bin, the big stomach king she thought was, only ate the usual amount, and these two were eaten violently!

Xie Yunshu, who was reprimanded, coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment on his face, no way, who let him eat badly a few days ago, as soon as he smelled Ye Hao's familiar smell of steamed buns, he couldn't help it.

And Zhao Yi secretly stuck out his tongue and exposed this matter by being cute and coquettish.

Lin Bin's speed was extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, he brought back the dry food and water he had bought, and the group continued to hurry.

It takes more than a day to take a long detour to cross Lin Cheng, mainly because the environment of Lin Cheng is as its name suggests, surrounded by forests.

Horse-drawn carriages are difficult to navigate through the woods, and even if there are established trails, they can still affect speed.

Fortunately, Lincheng is not far from Chengpingzhou County, and you only need to drive a horse again

It takes less than two days to arrive by car.

Ye Hao, who had been bumping on the carriage for three or four days at one time, was not good again, and felt uncomfortable anywhere.

When she finally arrived at the city gate of Chengpingzhou County, she seemed to hear the sounds of heaven and climbed out of the carriage.

As soon as I jumped out of the carriage, I looked up and was stunned.

It is worthy of being the most prosperous and huge county town in the entire Lingnan region, and the city gate and city wall alone are several times larger than the Qingcheng she has seen!

The officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate alone were dozens of people, not to mention the people who lined up at the city gate to enter the city, and the team of carriages alone was at least dozens at the moment.

In such a large crowd, Ye Hao and his party were simply too inconspicuous.

It's just that at this time, she was deeply shocked by the city gate and city wall of Chengpingzhou County, such a magnificent atmosphere and engraved historical traces of the building, even if she had visited many places of interest in her previous life, she was quite amazing.

"Let's go get in line first."

Looking at the crowded team, Xie Yunshu frowned slightly, there are so many people, when do you have to queue up?

It was not early now, and the sunset had already sunset, leaving only a remnant sun, still emitting a fiery red afterglow.

If they continue to line up like this, they are afraid that it will be night.

"That's good, it's not easy to spot when it's dark."

Nunu pointed at Zhao Yi, who was still in the carriage, but Ye Hao didn't think there was anything bad, and by the night, they could still cover it up!

After all, when they arrived in Chengpingzhou County, those officers and soldiers who were interrogating might not have seen Zhao Yi, and it was easy to be discovered.

"That's right."

Xie Yunshu nodded approvingly, and then the group returned to the carriage, following closely on the road exclusive to the carriage.

Sure enough, he had guessed correctly, and when it was their turn to check, there was only the moon and a few stars in the sky that had just hung on the willows.

As early as when it was getting dark, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate had already raised torches to illuminate the entire gate.

"What if I get discovered?"

When approaching herself, Ye Hao was inevitably still a little nervous.

Xie Yunshu gently patted her on the back and said softly:

"It's okay, it's already here, and it's okay to be found."

Their purpose was to send Zhao Yi back to King Cheng'an safely, and secondly, they wanted to see King Cheng'an.

Now that he has arrived at the boundary of Chengpingzhou County, even if he is found at the gate gate, it will not affect the overall situation.

On the carriage frame at this time, Lin Bin used the same words as last time in Liancheng to talk to the officers and soldiers holding torches in front of him, and took out the token that symbolized the Fu family.

King Cheng'an heard a report from his subordinates as early as two days ago, and the people of the Fu family seemed to have come to his fiefdom, and it seemed to be the person next to Fu Ru'an, the eldest son of the Fu family, who was arranged by the head of the Fu family to come to Lingnan.

He didn't care much about the Fu family alone, but the Xia family behind Fu Ru'an, even King Cheng'an didn't want to offend.

Therefore, after the officers and soldiers who received the news saw the token, their attitude was better, but they still had to check the personnel as usual.

The men and women in the carriage didn't need to pay much attention, except for the child.

The officers and soldiers who came to inspect Xie Yunshu's carriage had never seen Zhao Yi, and in fact, although Zhao Yi was the only son of King Cheng'an, he rarely left the palace on weekdays.

Therefore, there were very few people who had seen him, and only those in the palace who took care of him closely.

Even the portraits held by the officers and soldiers were from the hands of King Cheng'an, and then other painters copied them.

Seeing that the eyes of the officers and soldiers kept turning between the portraits in Zhao Yi and his hands, Ye Hao's heart rose to his throat, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Even if Xie Yunshu comforted her that it was okay to be found before, the tension she should have was inevitable.

At this time, a large warm hand wrapped around her and gave her strength.

"May I ask you, sir, what's wrong with my nephew?"

Xie Yunshu had a faint smile on his face, and his gentle appearance couldn't find any problems.

When the officer and soldier heard his words, he put away the scroll in his hand and laughed, but his face was a little obscure under the light of the fire that was clearly extinguished.

"No, I'm just a little curious, how can Your Excellency go out with a young child."

Xie Yunshu's reaction to this tentative words was still very calm.

"This time I came to do something for my son-in-law, and I came in a hurry, and the remaining children were left unattended at home, so I simply brought them with me."

Faced with a watertight answer, the officer and soldier did not say anything more, but asked the people behind him to open the way and let them pass.

After seeing this level, Ye Hao breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that she was sweating with fright, and even grabbed Zhao Yi tightly with one hand.

The latter saw her nervousness and worry, and whispered comfort:

"Sister, don't worry, even if I am taken back by my father, I will take you with me."

In private, he prefers to call Ye Hao his sister.

Smiling and touching his head, Ye Hao was just about to speak, but heard Xie Yunshu next to him interrupt their conversation.

"That officer and soldier, maybe he didn't see anything."

Recalling the other party's previous reaction, he sensed that something was wrong, but he could only take one step at a time.

As Xie Yunshu guessed, after their carriage was far away, the man who looked like an officer and soldier handed the scroll to his subordinates behind him and let him take his place.

And he himself went straight to the Cheng'an Palace.

When Ye Hao and his party entered the city, they did not see the imaginary sedimentary scene, but a lively scene.

Just as they were pondering and preparing to find an inn to settle down in first, a man who was not good-looking suddenly approached and asked in a low voice in front of Lin Bin:

"Dare to ask if Your Excellency is Lin Gongzi and Xie Gongzi Xie from Qingcheng?"

Hearing this, Lin Bin's face immediately changed, and he looked at the other party with vigilance, and his hands were ready to accumulate.

Seeing the other party's reaction, the man understood that he had found the right person, and quickly explained:

"I am Fu Gongzi's person, and I am the one who delivered the message to you, and I arrived in Chengpingzhou County one day early."

After seeing the same Fu family token that the other party took out, Lin Bin was relieved and told the two people in the carriage about the matter.

Although they were a little surprised that Fu Ru'an suddenly sent someone to deliver the message, but with the token to back it up, they didn't get suspicious anymore and followed each other to the residence that had been arranged in advance.

Unlike Ye Hao's group who slowly and leisurely set up the carriage and came over, Fu Ru'an's subordinates immediately whipped up their horses when they got the letter, and almost killed two horses along the way before arriving in Chengpingzhou County ahead of schedule.

And this subordinate did not enter the door in the name of Fu Ru'an, but with his identity as an ordinary person, after entering the city, he bought a quiet but wide enough courtyard according to Fu Ru'an's instructions, and prepared it in advance for Ye Hao's family.

Looking at this comfortable and spacious courtyard with two entrances and two exits, Ye Hao couldn't help but sigh at Fu Ru'an's generosity and thoughtfulness, and was once again impressed by the other party.

It's great to have such a partner!

You must know that the land price in Chengpingzhou County is not like the barbarian county seat or Qingcheng, although it is not as expensive as the capital, but it is also extremely high.

There are not a hundred taels in this courtyard, which cannot be taken down, let alone the fact that it has been purchased very well.

The man who led them in left the keys to the house and the letters, and then left in a hurry.
