Chen Xiaohu caught Lu Yangge's passenger boat to the capital, but Zhou Yang wanted to get off the boat here and transfer to the canal.

A faint mist rose on the surface of the river, and the dark night separated the two great ships, each running in two different directions.

Chen Xiaohu was in a hurry to catch up all the way, and after getting on the boat, he drank two bowls of cold tea before he felt that his pounding heart eased slightly.

In order to catch up with Lu Yangge's big boat, he stubbornly rowed the small fishing boat of the Lu family with his arms and chased it to Nanyang.

Fortunately, he didn't chase the wrong direction, otherwise he would really have gone wrong with Sister Biaoge.

Chen Xiaohu had already thought that if he could catch up with Lu Yangge, then he would follow his sister into Beijing alone. If he can't catch up with Lu Yangge, then he will find those brothers in Nanyang to enter Beijing together.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to finally catch up at Nanyang Pier.

Chen Xiaohu put down the teacup, let out a long sigh of relief, and asked, "What happened in the capital, my sister is so anxious?" ”

Lu Yangge had just drunk wine, her cheeks were slightly hot, she raised her hand and patted it, before replying: "The emperor is sick, the queen mother is uneasy, and she will call me back." ”

Is the emperor sick?

Chen Xiaohu's brows furrowed, what does the emperor's illness have to do with Yang Ge?

There are queen mothers, queens, and concubines in the palace, so it can't be the turn of this cousin to serve!

Chen Xiaohu didn't speak, but there was a question in his eyes.

Lu Yangge glanced at the evening photos, and when she retreated with all the people in the house, she lowered her voice and said, "The emperor shouldn't be very good!" ”

"Really?"

Chen Xiaohu sat up straight suddenly, "That's good, the prince is still so young." ”

Yes, the prince is still young, if something happens to the emperor, the country should be unstable again!

This is a truth that even Chen Xiaohu knows, how can those ministers who care for their lives not know.

But Lu Yangge always felt that her aunt had another meaning for calling her back to Beijing this time, not only because the emperor was sick, but also because there should be other things.

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have told Zhou Yang a word, let Princess Changle quietly enter Beijing, and not alarm others.

Who is this person?

She doesn't know how to heal, and she can't live and die with human flesh and bones.

What's in the way of others?

……

When the big ship docked at the dock outside the capital, it was exactly the middle of the night.

By the time everyone packed up their things and got into the carriage to the city gate, the sky had not yet dawned.

The tall city gate was closed, but the tea shed closest to the city gate was already full of people, and the peasants in the countryside were packing up the vegetables they were going to sell in the city today by the light of the lanterns in the tea shed. The small merchants and peddlers were also poking their heads out, wandering through the crowd, meeting those who were suitable, bargaining, selling them from these peasants, and then picking them up to sell in the city, and they could also make a few great bucks.

There are four tables in the tea shed, three are people, one is sitting for the father and daughter, the old man is blind and carrying an erhu, looking at the dress is a person who walks the rivers and lakes and sings. The girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a bamboo basket covered with a flower turban at her feet.

The second one sat three big men who were in the dust, wearing the soap clothes of the yacha, with waist knives hanging from their waists, and three stagecoaches tied to the outside of the stable, which seemed to be the post guards who sent letters to Beijing from other places.

At the third table, there was a young man, Xu is too gorgeous, and his appearance in this group of singing messengers was a little abrupt, he sat alone facing the official road, and the bowl of barley tea in front of him had no heat, and it seemed that he had been sitting for a long time.

"Girl, sit here."

Wipe the table in the evening and wipe the stool carefully.

Clear Sky borrowed the stove from the tea shed and began to boil water to make tea with the pot he brought.

Chunhua Qiushi stood on the side of the carriage, and Zhixue followed closely by Lu Yangge's side, not leaving half a step.

Wanzhao cleaned up the table, turned around and walked to the carriage, ready to pack up the carriage, there was still an hour to enter the city, after the girl drank tea, it is estimated that she will not sleep again, and must clean up the carriage.

Qingtian washed and scalded the teacup, poured a cup of tea for Lu Yangge and Chen Xiaohu, put down the teapot, and walked to the carriage with another pot of tea, which was prepared for Dr. Xie and his son.

It was already about to enter the city, and Dr. Xie's father and son did not come out of the carriage in order to avoid accidents.

Chen Xiaohu sat down opposite Lu Yangge, looked around, and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yangge saw Chen Xiaohu's expression and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Something isn't right."

Chen Xiaohu lowered his voice and said, "There is still more than an hour before the city gate opens, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be so many people around here." There are too many people around here, and it's too lively. ”

He grew up in the market since he was a child, and he has done everything for life, and he is much more familiar with the surrounding environment than Lu Yangge.

The busiest time at this city gate should be a quarter or two hours before the city gate is about to open.

At that time, most of the people who wanted to enter the city would flock to the gate and wait for the gate to open, so that they could enter the city early.

At this hour, there is no one in front of the city gates, but there should not be so many people.

Hearing this, before Lu Yangge could speak, the man in Chinese clothes who was close to the table next to them suddenly probed over: "Little brother, you also think something is wrong, I'll just say, this city gate is usually not so lively, there must be ......"

Before the ghost word came out, the man felt a cold light flash in his ears, and before he could react, Chen Xiaohu had already raised his hand and ripped him away.

Bang Dang......

Click......

Oops......

The young man in the costume fell to the side, and before he could get up, the tea shed was already in chaos.

The blind man with the erhu on his back, the girl with the basket, the boy who burns the fire, the guy who carries the teapot......

It seemed that all of a sudden, everyone became fierce and vicious, with knives and sticks, and they all rushed towards Lu Yangge's side.

Zhexue protected Lu Yangge, the prince in the costume grabbed Chen Xiaohu's clothes, and the four of them withdrew from the tea shed, and soon merged with Chunhua Qiushi.

"Fold the snow, protect the girl and go first."

Chunhua is a big sword, and he is so strong that he is angry.

Qiu Shi stood in front of Lu Yangge, and with a loud roar, the thick pillars of the tea shed were pulled up by him, and the tea shed fell down with a bang.

The three post guards, who were still drinking tea and watching, were afraid of being hit by the fallen tea shed, so they rushed out of the tea shed with a strange scream.

Originally, the vegetable sellers were selling vegetables around, and some of the vegetable sellers were so panicked that they didn't even want to pick up the vegetables, and plunged into the drainage ditch on the side. There were a few timid and scared, but they didn't forget to carry their burdens and run into the distance.

Lu Yangge was protected by the snow and retreated all the way to the carriage. Without waiting for her to turn back, Zhexue held a whip in one hand and grabbed Lu Yangge's belt with the other, and lifted her to the carriage.

Taking advantage of the chaos to climb into the carriage, the evening light dragged Lu Yangge into the carriage, and the clear sky guarding the door of the carriage saw that the boy in Chinese clothes was about to climb up, and kicked over: "Get out." ”

"Oops."

The young man in the costume never thought that he would be kicked off the carriage, and he didn't care about anything else, so he desperately wanted to climb up the carriage.

Chen Xiaohu turned his head and happened to see it, and he reached out and dragged him down again.

The man in Chinese clothes shouted in panic: "I am the king of He Jun of Qingwangfu, save me." ”
