After Qi Yu left Xingtaipu Temple, he returned home directly.
Then, all the large and small bags that the lady had packed were carried onto the horseback.
Among these luggage, there are single clothes, cotton clothes, and single shoes and cotton shoes.
The food prepared is also very rich, such as preserved fruits, preserved meats, and snacks, everything is available.
A whole lot of stuff!
Before bearing such a heavy load, the horse could not help but slump its straight back.
Um?
Huang Fei frowned: This is a riding horse, how can it be used as a mule?
However, when he saw the worried eyes of Mrs. Qi's wife, he immediately understood.
Not long ago, there were rumors in the capital that the husband and wife of the Qi family were very loving. Even if his wife Liu suffered from infertility, Mr. Qi would never leave her and refused to take concubines.
When I saw him today, I can see that this rumor is true.
After placing all his luggage properly, Qi Yu got on his horse and set off under the watch of his family.
The emperor made it clear that we must start our journey immediately, so we can't delay too much.
Although Qi Dalang had long been accustomed to traveling far and wide away from home, he still couldn't bear to part with him, and the sadness in his heart clearly showed on his face.
The more times this happens, the less likely you are to get tired of it.
Seeing the tears of my family members, I couldn't help but move my legs again.
Let’s go!
Be ruthless and hit the road!
"Son, remember to be careful on the road..."
"Ms. sir, the snacks in the bag are still warm..."
"You guys go back!"
"..."
Mrs. Zhou and Liu Quan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cuddled up at the gate and watched until the figure was no longer visible, then they reluctantly returned home.
…
Three days later.
On an official ship going south, Qi Yu and Huang Fei stood side by side. At this time, they were looking at the sparkling Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
Qi Yu looked at the scenery in front of him and sighed secretly.
I hope that the tasks entrusted by the emperor can be as smooth as the current situation. Although there are ups and downs, there will be no big storms.
Yes, the two of them traveled by water.
Originally, Qi Yu wanted to take the land route, so that he could check out relevant information on the way.
However, Huang Fei raised objections.
Because the risk of taking the land route is greater than that of the water route, it is a last resort and not as safe as the water route.
Qi Yu followed his advice.
Safety first!
There is nothing wrong with this.
At the same time, Qi Yu also gained a deeper understanding of Huang Fei's trip. His duty was simply to protect himself. As for whether the case was investigated well or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Understand, he is a so-called personal master.
Because the official ship was traveling down the river at a very fast speed, it entered Qilu territory in only seven or eight days.
The two disembarked, landed, then rode on horseback and continued their journey.
"Brother Huang, are you sure you will pay for all the expenses along the way?"
"Sure!"
Huang Fei answered very readily!
Qi Yu chuckled and nodded politely.
However, Qi Yu also knew very well that Huang Fei could not pay for it himself, but used the emperor's money to act as a good man.
Since it’s public money to eat and drink, it’s better to open your belly and eat freely.
Can you try some delicacies from the mountains and seas?
Huang Fei directly acted like "You make up your mind", which was considered a statement.
Qi Yu laughed and said boldly: "In that case, I will treat Brother Huang to something good."
Huang Fei smiled lightly and said: "Thank you!"
Just do it.
After landing, Qi Yu found a very grand restaurant and had a banquet.
Of course, the latter paid for the meal.
After finishing the ten dishes, Qi Yu discussed the follow-up plan.
In this kind of planning process, Huang Fei didn't make any decisions, he just played the role of a listener.
The purpose of this trip is to investigate Princess Chuan and her entourage and the unknown forces she came into contact with. That is, the main purpose is to investigate the information, rather than trying to eliminate them.
Well, let’s sort out the details first and then talk about it.
Known information shows that the woman suspected of being Princess Sichuan retreated to Ningyang County after her attempt to harm Harry failed, and then lurked there.
Currently, I have two options.
The first is to go to Mount Tai to look for Harry first, and then make plans after clarifying the actual situation. The advantage of this is that more information can be obtained, but the disadvantage is that it wastes some time.
The second option is to go directly to Ningyang County and try to find the person who is suspected to be Princess Sichuan, and then either capture or monitor him, and finally get the information you want.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Yu decided to choose the first option.
why?
Because Princess Chuan is a wise and resourceful person who is definitely not easy to deal with.
Only if you know more about a person like her can you possibly figure out some of her intentions.
As is often said, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible.
Well, let’s first analyze this Princess of Sichuan.
When she was in Yongchuan Mansion, she dared to test the current emperor with half of the "Cricket Picture", which shows that she is a very courageous person and is not afraid of the pressure of the court.
Just for her superhuman courage, she is definitely not comparable to ordinary women in the boudoir.
What's more, when the emperor was about to take action to kill her, she actually used a secret passage to escape from the fire without any danger.
Even if Zhuge is a girl, this is nothing more than that, right?
It can be seen from this that Princess Chuan must be an extremely difficult woman to deal with.
In addition, one thing is certain, that is, there must be some kind of interest relationship between her and King Yan, otherwise, King Yan would not be willing to protect her.
However, what this benefit is is still unknown.
What puzzled Qi Yu was why she appeared at this time.
It has been more than two years since she disappeared in Yongchuan Mansion. During this period, she has been hiding herself and has never appeared in public. But now she suddenly appears. Why is this?
Could it be that there is some reason for this?
In other words, she wants to make some moves in the near future?
However, these are all my own guesses. Before everything is clear, all possibilities exist.
It was in view of this consideration that Qi Yu decided to go to Mount Tai to meet Harry and get to know him better.
Anyway, this won't waste much time.
After the discussion was settled, the two continued to move forward towards Mount Tai.
On the way, Qi Yu also made a point of observing the local people's sentiments and public security situation.
Unlike the last time I went to Beijing to take the exam, the security in Qilu has improved a lot. At the very least, the order of people's daily lives has improved significantly.
Look, farmers are entering the fields and businessmen are entering the market, everything is in good order.
The most different thing is the mental outlook of the common people. There was less fear and more smiles on their faces.
