The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 71 Travel privately in private
At this time, in the camp of Xiaojingshan Royal Hunting Ground, it was the last day of the autumn hunt. Everyone was packing their bags and preparing to return. Everyone was busy packing and loading the car.
The emperor left eunuch Debao in charge of the hunting ground, and took eunuch Dequan with him, disguised as ordinary businessmen, and headed for Shuiyue Temple under the cover of night. Several guards had already been waiting in the woods, and no one in the entire hunting ground noticed that the emperor had left.
The emperor came here only to confirm a rumor.
Someone said that he had seen Mei Shumin in Shuiyue Temple, and this autumn hunting was held specifically for this matter. He wanted to confirm that she was the person he had been thinking about day and night. He sent people to investigate for a long time, but the results were all ambiguous. The last time, he actually brought a token of Mei Shumin. He felt that it seemed too coincidental. There were too many coincidences, which was a bit too much and made people dare not believe it.
Since Mei Shumin had fled the palace, it would be impossible for people to easily trace her whereabouts, so today's situation was most likely a trap set against him. If that was the case, how could he lure out the person behind the trap if he didn't come in person?
The emperor stood at the fork in the road leading to Shuiyue Temple, hesitating, and finally decisively chose a wrong road. When Eagle Guard Commander Fu Tingxuan discovered that he had taken the wrong road, it was already impossible to correct it, so he could only continue on his way. The route that would have taken a few hours now required a long detour, so he had to camp in the mountains and continue his journey until dawn.
Now we can only try to reach Shuiyue Temple at noon tomorrow and return at 10:00 p.m. to catch up with the returning team.
All the guards arranged by Fu Tingxuan along the road are now useless. The emperor is protected by only six eagle guards. This is too risky, but he dare not advise. He can only stay alert and not let go of any disturbance.
At this time in the royal hunting ground, Crown Prince Liu Jingyu was in a daze holding the medicine given by Hua Xiyu. His injury had healed completely. He had sent Di Shen to pick up Miss Lei before, but she failed. He had to go back to Huicheng tomorrow, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to try again. So he asked Di Shen to take people to pick her up yesterday. He wondered if Miss Lei was willing to go back to the East Palace with him. It would be ungentlemanly to fail to repay a favor.
The guards and palace servants of the East Palace were busy packing up, and no one dared to disturb the prince. Liu Jingyu just sat there, waiting for Di Shen to come back. He didn't know why Di Shen hadn't returned for so long. He wondered if Miss Lei was saying goodbye to her parents, packing up, or was reluctant to do so.
Various thoughts made the young prince uneasy. He had tried to take the position once before, but was messed up by Di Shen. He didn't think much of it at the time, but recently he kept thinking of Miss Lei. Her every frown and smile made him aftertaste endlessly. He decided to try again. As long as she was willing to come, he could give her the position of concubine, except for the position of principal wife, which he could not decide on himself.
Dozens of Eagle Guards had been hiding in the mountains and forests near Shuiyue Temple for two days. In order to ensure the emperor's safety, they checked all the roads in advance and only sent a signal to Fu Tingxuan after making sure there was no danger.
According to the plan, the emperor should have arrived at Shuiyue Temple at noon today. It was already 3:00 p.m. and they still hadn't seen any sign of the emperor. The leader, Ying Er, became anxious. He wanted to go and check, but he didn't dare to leave his post, so they kept waiting. Now it was almost 10:00 p.m. and there was still no sign of the emperor. Ying Er could no longer sit still and decisively sent people to check along the way.
There are many roads from the royal hunting ground to Shuiyue Temple. After all, Xiaojing Mountain is so big that there are ways to everywhere as long as you dare to walk. However, there are only three roads that people usually take. Fu Tingxuan arranged the eagle guards to guard the nearest one and calculated the time, what time and what location. In previous trips, there has never been any mistakes.
However, accidents can always happen at any time, and the emperor chose a path that no one expected.
In the Lengshui Fish Inn, when Liu Jingcheng was helping Hua Xiyu stagger upstairs to go to bed, the Lengshui Fish Inn welcomed another wave of guests.
It was two and a half hours later when Lin Nan and a few others arrived at Muduo Town on horseback. The road seemed not far, but when they walked they realized it was not close. It is true that a horse will die if it is seen too high. The map, which was as rough as a drawing by a kindergarten kid, really could not explain anything.
When they arrived at Muduo Town, it was already the end of the Xu hour, and all the shops in Muduo Town were closed and locked. Especially the restaurants and cooked food shops, which had sold out the food for the day, closed earlier than other shops.
In the food business, in this hot weather, if too much food is prepared and not finished, it will go bad, and if too little is prepared, the customers will be treated poorly. Therefore, each restaurant and hotel has been operating for many years and it has become a routine that the business for the day ends after the hour of Xu. However, since Lin Nan has been riding for several hours and has finally arrived, he has to get some delicious food back for the prince.
So they searched one in each inn after another, and finally found that there were still people drinking and eating meat in the Lengshui Fish Inn. The group happily walked into the inn, which shocked the innkeeper.
"Sir...sir...sir, would you like to stay in the hotel or have a night off?" The fat shopkeeper was confused and his voice was a little disoriented. "Stay in the hotel or have a night off" became his catchphrase and he would ask this every time he saw a guest.
"Shopkeeper, we don't stay in your store or eat overnight. We are just passers-by asking for food and drink from you. Don't worry, I will never let you down." Lin Nan was already standing in front of the shopkeeper and slapped a silver ingot on the table. He was tall and strong, with a loud voice, which was particularly abrupt in this low house and at night when the streets were quiet.
Hua Xiyu was startled by his voice, and Liu Jingcheng also felt it. He immediately restrained his aura and silently observed these people. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people. Who could travel to Muduo Town in such a hurry and not have eaten yet? Where did they come from? He helped Hua Xiyu go upstairs, and while walking, he called the waiter to bring hot water for a bath.
Lin Nan had been watching the two of them, trying to find out something different from them. When he heard someone calling the waiter for hot water for a shower, he realized that they were guests staying at the hotel, so he didn't take it seriously.
When the shopkeeper saw the large ingot of silver, he immediately told the kitchen to prepare it for the guests. Soon, more than a dozen chickens, more than a dozen pounds of meat, and a few jars of wine were ready. When Lin Nan and others took their things and prepared to leave, they still asked cautiously, "Excuse me, who were those two people just now?"
"Oh, you mean those two?" The shopkeeper, who had received the money, lost his previous courtesy and said slowly, "It seems that the thinner young man couldn't go home because of something at home. The other young man was drinking with him. I don't know about the other shops either."
"They all arrived today?"
"Yes, I'm staying at the hotel today."
Lin Nan felt relieved. He was afraid that their whereabouts were exposed and they were being targeted. Since they were just ordinary people staying in the hotel temporarily, he felt relieved.
After taking the meat and wine, the group mounted their horses and galloped away.
Not far behind them, Zuo Shan and two other secret guards were following closely. As soon as they appeared, the people from Prince Hong's Palace started to keep their eyes on them. With so many experts suddenly arriving in Muduo Town, they couldn't help but be nervous.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. What is there in a small town like Muduo that is worthy of all these masters flocking to it?
Liu Jingcheng sneered in his heart, helped Hua Xiyu into the house and laid her on the bed, then took off her shoes. He remembered what Chunliu said about there being three red moles on the sole of her foot, so he took the opportunity to take off her socks. Sure enough, there were three red moles on the sole of her left foot. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. She was actually the real daughter of the Hua family.
Then he put socks on her. Her socks fit perfectly on her feet, showing off the shape of her feet perfectly, which was completely different from the socks they were wearing.
She doesn't belong here. She can't be the real daughter of Washington. These three moles are just coincidence.
Then I thought, it doesn’t matter who she is, as long as she is the child’s mother.
In the hunting ground, the prince looked at the sky. It was already 12 o'clock and there was no sign of Di Shen. He felt worried. He didn't care about Di Shen. They were born to serve the prince. He was afraid that something might happen to Miss Lei on the way.
At this time, Di Shen was tied up by the Eagle Guards and thrown on the grass, with his eyes blindfolded and a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth. He had no choice but to listen carefully, but no other sound could be heard in the mountains except the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects.
He tried to break free from the restraints, but the more he struggled, the tighter they became. He couldn't see, and couldn't shout even if he wanted to. It felt so damn uncomfortable.
He didn't know who caught him. He was ordered to pick someone up, but this time he didn't even see anyone. On his way back, he was caught and thrown here.
I wonder how anxious the prince is now.
