Step on a branch

Chapter 262 All the way forward (seeking a monthly ticket)
Regardless of the fact that pedestrians are not big officials, they are good jobs. They are the ones who pass the decree, canonize, send orders to the four directions, and go to the various state capitals of the imperial court.

On behalf of the imperial court, even if the official is small, the local government dare not neglect.

Young new Jinshi, those who can't enter the Imperial Academy, are willing to go to the Pedestrian Division to polish for a few years. As long as they are not bad luck, they will be promoted soon.

It's just that pedestrians are proud of the place, and they are still respectful when they enter the capital. There are too many dignitaries here.

The guard is also rare, meeting a pedestrian with a bad temper.

Seeing the guards, the pedestrian hesitated, and pointed in the direction of Miyagi: "Did you look at it? The palace was flooded before!"

Far away, where can I see anything at this moment.

Only one guard hesitated and said: "It seems that I saw some smoke earlier?"

"What's the relationship between the water in the palace and your lord's going out of the city?" asked the officer.

"Floating water for no reason is an ominous omen!" The passerby was heartbroken and asked again, "What does it have to do with me? I dare to say, do you dare to listen?"

The officer was shocked and waved his hands quickly.

joke!

It must be an important matter for the court to send pedestrians out of the city at this hour.

Is the important thing that these petty officials can listen to?
Blame him.

First the eldest princess, and then this pedestrian, all urged to open the city gate.

He shouldn't have talked so much.

"Open it quickly," the officer said.

The gate of the city was opened again, not big enough to allow horses to enter and exit.

Lin Zhi asked, "Why, are you still waiting for the Eldest Princess to sign the contract?"

Of course the officer didn't dare, and ordered people to open the city gate wider so that the luxurious carriages could go out.

While waiting, he raised his head to look in the direction of Miyagi, and the wet wind was blowing towards him, and he smelled a bloody smell in his breath.

The smell came from the princess's carriage.

This……

He sniffed carefully again, this time, it seemed that there was really nothing there.

Instead, it's a light spice smell.

It should be incense in the car...

Just as he was thinking, the carriage suddenly started and rushed out of the city.

After nightfall, the official road was extremely empty, and the official road in the suburbs of Beijing was spacious, and the horses spread their hooves and moved forward.

The capital city faded far behind, and the people in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest princess closed the box again, and asked Lin Zhi, "Who is that pedestrian?"

"I don't know," Lin Zhi replied, "It looks unfamiliar."

The eldest princess nodded thoughtfully.

The carriage drove fast all the way, and arrived at Zhuangzi.

As arranged, the people who evacuated first have disappeared.

The only one staying here is Ah Qin.

Ah Qin came forward and said: "Second Madam and the others are very worried. Seeing that the time has come, they dare not delay any longer. They have already set off."

Mrs. Yongning Hou asked her: "You stayed, who will take Miss Qiaoyu to ride a horse?"

In that group of people, everyone is a master of horses.

Mrs. Dingguo has been in the country for many years, but when she was young, she fought with the Guiwei, and she was also outstanding in riding and shooting.

It's just a coincidence that Yu has learned a little superficially.

Ah Qin replied, "Second Miss is taking it with her."

Mrs. Yongning Hou complained that "she can perform well", but she also knew in her heart that with Ah Yuan's riding skills, it is no problem to lead someone.

"The palace hasn't noticed it yet," said the eldest princess. "When their mother and son come back to their senses, the pursuers will come. We have to leave quickly."

Mrs. Hou changed out of her blood-stained coat, and she didn't have time to get rid of the stains on her hair, so she just covered it with a long handkerchief and tied it up, making a headscarf.

Ah Qin took Caiwei and the others to lead the horse.

For this day, after the old Lord Hou set off, Mrs. Hou asked Ah Qin to carefully select suitable horses, train them patiently, and match them with saddles and stirrups.

At this moment, holding the rein, Mrs. Hou patted the horse's neck.

She is very satisfied.

"Let's go." Madam Hou got on her horse.

Aqin smiled at Qin Luan and said, "Miss has been studying hard for a while, show Madam Hou the results."

Qin Luan laughed.

In the distance, there were a few more thunderclaps.

It was dark and the road was slippery, and it might rain in the second half of the night, but no one cared about that.

They had to go west immediately, the farther away from the capital the better.

It was almost time for the capital to fall asleep.

The burning lamp oil and candles in each house and house gradually went out.

In Yongning Hou's mansion, Madam Wang looked at the time and blew out the lights in the second room.

Since it is a tactic to lure the enemy, it must act like it.

The second lady and others withdrew one after another, and those who stayed behind turned on the lights when it was time to light them, and turned off the lights when they were turned off first.

I just got the news that Mrs. Hou went to Anguo Gong's mansion to pick up the eldest girl after leaving the palace, and then lost the clue. After a while, the eldest princess's carriage left the capital.

Nanny Wang guessed that they should have left together.

Once you're all gone, you can rest assured.

It was dark in the room, and Nanny Wang gathered the rest of the staff into the yard with a lantern.

"It's really lucky. I haven't been hunted by the Imperial Forest Army until now." She paused, and then said, "At most, I will be surrounded by dawn. The money is all prepared, and the deeds are here. Everyone gets their own money." People, go and hide yourself."

No one spoke, only the two little maids were sobbing with red eyes.

It is very rare to be such a kind and polite host when you come out to do things.

Madam Hou left and kept them, not because she didn't trust them, but because she couldn't take so many people away for a while.

Holding the bank note in his hand, the manager choked up and asked, "Nurse Wang, what are your plans?"

Nanny Wang said: "I'll squat at the city gate, and leave as soon as the gate opens. I won't be able to catch up, but walk slowly, and when the old master and the others come back, we will meet on the road."

When the manager heard this, he nodded again and again: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable, I'll go with you."

The corner door of the Hou Mansion was wide open, and everyone came out one after another, going their separate ways.

Nanny Wang looked at the Hou Mansion again, her heart sank.

This night, let it be longer, longer, let the second wife and the others go farther, further away...

The oil lamp beside Mrs. An's bed has not been extinguished for a long time.

After listening to Mammy Mao's report, she sat at the table and couldn't recover for a long time.

The word "rebellion" lingered in my mind.

Today is not a troubled time, the border war is not peaceful, but the rest of the place is still peaceful.

She and Mrs. Yongninghou are old acquaintances, and the Qin family absolutely does not have the heart to be an emperor.

It is obvious that the conflict has been buried for a long time to be able to make a bloody hand today.

If the emperor is too suspicious, as long as the Qin family surrenders their military power, the Marquis of Yongning will return to the capital with a full body of military exploits, and the emperor's heart will naturally be at ease. Even for his own safety, the Marquis of Yongning does not need to rush to Feimenguan...

From this point of view, it should be that the Qin family is unwilling to hand over power.

Why?

Who will the Qin family assist?

And who could make the emperor "scared" so much that he pressed on every step of the way, and even the child in Shu'er's belly would take advantage of the situation in order to restrain Miss Qin?
"Marquis of Yongning," Mrs. An Guogong murmured, "Qin Yin was so loyal to the first emperor, and the emperor..."

His breath froze.

A thought rushed into her mind, almost causing her to knock over the teacup in hand.

Yes.

Once, her husband An Guogong praised the crown prince of Dazhou countless times.

"Brave and good at fighting, green out of blue."

"If my son is as brave as the crown prince, I will look up to the sky and laugh."

Prince Zhao Lin, in the eyes of these generals, is the best heir of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The first prince died early, and the posthumous son's whereabouts are unknown.

Now that I think about it, that kid is back.
