After taking a rough look at the number of torches over there, Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It seemed that they had reached their territory.
Probably because of this, these people became more and more relaxed towards her. One of them jumped onto the shore first and directly waved for Qiao Yuyan to follow.
This was already the case, could she still escape by diving into the water? Qiao Yuyan could only follow her.
"It's been a hard journey, but this has always been smooth sailing?"
The person who came to greet them was a woman in her thirties or forties, with a neat braid and no decoration on her head. She just glanced at Qiao Yuyan and then turned to the others.
"It's quite safe," the little boss replied, pointing to Qiao Yuyan, "This is the daughter of Mr. Qiao Ge."
The woman glanced at Qiao Yuyan and nodded with a smile, "She is indeed our lady. She is different from the rest of us. You guys, please be careful and don't hurt Miss Qiao."
After she finished speaking, she waved, and immediately two men came over. Qiao Yuyan subconsciously took two steps back, becoming a little nervous.
The two men escorted her without saying a word, almost half pulling and half carrying her away.
Qiao Yuyan was so painful that she couldn't help but inhale, but she held it back tightly.
When you are a knife-sitter and I am a fish-meat, it is best to lower your sense of presence.
Not long after leaving, she was thrown into a carriage, and the group of people walked forward in the night.
After the carriage drove for a while, Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but look out the window, and then gave up. There were people watching from the front, back and left of the carriage.
The guards were so tight that it was impossible to escape.
After walking for nearly an hour, they finally stopped and arrived inside a mansion.
Qiao Yuyan was led into a small courtyard, and then two maids came over, "Miss Qiao, please come this way."
When she came in just now, she clearly saw two tall and thick men guarding the courtyard gate, and there were also two young women here.
Just by looking at their standing postures and their gazes, one could tell that they were from the same group as Shi Ye, and they were all clearly from the Lian family.
Qiao Yuyan had no choice but to follow the maid into the main room. Although the inside was not very luxurious, it seemed to be well-kept and it was actually a clean and tidy room.
"In the past few days, we sisters will take care of Miss Qiao's daily life. My name is Xiao Wu and she is Xiao Lu. If Miss Qiao has any orders, just call us."
What else could Qiao Yuyan say, so she had no choice but to say: "Then I ask you a question, will you answer it?"
Xiao Wu looked at Qiao Yuyan seriously and nodded: "As long as the slaves know."
"Then, where is this?"
After the two people got acquainted, they shook their heads and said, "We don't know."
"Then...who is the owner here?"
The two people continued to shake their heads, "We don't know either."
"So, you don't know when the master here will meet me, do you?"
Sure enough, the two people answered in the affirmative in unison, and Qiao Yuyan had no choice but to wave her hands helplessly, "Forget it, go get a basin of hot water and find me some clean clothes. I want to wash up and rest."
The two of them didn't dare to say any more and immediately left together.
When they came in with their things, another voice thought behind them, "Miss Qiao is really a capable person. She has reached this point and still has the thought to wash and rest. She is really different from ordinary ladies in the capital.
"
Hearing this voice, Qiao Yuyan's hand that was about to untie her hair immediately stopped. Why is this voice so familiar?
Before she could remember, she saw the man's face.
It’s Shen Jing?!
Why is she here?
Qiao Yuyan knew from Wen Tingyuan that when Jin Jin came all the way from the border to the capital, the biggest resistance he encountered was General Shen.
Fighting all the way through the siege from his side, just in time to catch up with the empty power of the seventh prince in the capital, he entered the palace in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, General Shen's family was also listed on a series of charges.
However, except for General Shen and the Shen family uncle, who were directly beheaded in public because of serious crimes, the other men were simply exiled.
The female family members followed the men. As for Shen Jing, the only girl in the Shen family, she was not affected at all because she was already married.
At that time, Shen Jing had already married far away, seemingly to a general. Qiao Yuyan didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't ask about her in detail. After all, Shen Jing had no relationship with her, it was just... Just a few encounters.
She never expected to meet her here.
She remembered that Shen Jing's husband-in-law was under the command of General Shen. After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he dispersed the troops under General Shen and reorganized them into other camps. Could it be that this general was sent to the south? ?
Thinking about it this way, it is very possible that if Shen Jing and his wife came to the south at this time with hatred for the Holy Emperor, wouldn't they be like a mud cow entering the sea?
Although these thoughts are many and complex, they actually only last in my mind for a while.
She immediately stood up and said, "Miss Shen, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Shen Jing's eyes were fixed on Qiao Yuyan's face, as if she wanted to see something from her face, "Are you surprised to see me here?"
"To be honest, it's a little bit," Qiao Yuyan said very honestly, "So, it was your people who tied me here this time?"
"Yes, and no," Shen Jing had a faint smile on her face, and there was a bit of pride in that smile, "However, I advise you not to ask more questions in this regard, because I won't tell you. More."
As she spoke, she sat down at the table in the middle of the room. She seemed to be very interested in Qiao Yuyan's reaction at this time, and the smile on her face turned a bit playful.
Qiao Yuyan sat down opposite her, "I know that you must have some hatred for the current emperor, but... even if my father is in the cabinet now, and you arrest me, it will be of no use. How can you use this to threaten me? Isn’t my father good?”
"Your father is far away, how can we..."
Shen Jing was speaking normally, but she suddenly stopped and glared at Qiao Yuyan fiercely, "You actually want to trick me?!"
"It's not to threaten my father..."
However, Qiao Yuyan had already gotten the news she wanted. Along the way, they kept repeating their identity as the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. It turned out to be a cover.
so……
She immediately thought of Wen Tingyuan who was still in Hongdu, so she could only target Wen Tingyuan.
