In the evening, a carriage was speeding through the wind and rain. The driver was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat and was waving a whip in his hand.
The horse pulling the cart was already exerting some effort. No matter how hard the driver whipped the cart, the speed did not increase, but instead slowed down a bit.
At this time, a coughing sound came from the car: "Cough cough cough... Youlan... find a place to rest."
"Yes, Master." Youlan's face looked a little ugly, but she still obeyed the order.
Under a big tree, Youlan parked the carriage, jumped out of the car, separated the horse from the carriage, and tied the horse to another big tree to take shelter from the rain.
After doing all this, she braved the wind and rain to get on the carriage, took off her raincoat and got into the car.
In the carriage, I saw a man with a pale face, leaning on the wall of the carriage, and his whole body was in low spirits.
This person is none other than Lian Shaohua.
Although he had already calculated that the princess's affairs would involve him to some extent, he did not expect that things would happen so quickly.
Before he even saw his beloved, the court had already sent out troops to pursue him.
The journey was windy and rainy, and also caught by the wind and cold. Lian Shaohua once suspected that God didn't want him to meet that person at all.
Youlan looked at her son's appearance, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Young Master..."
"Youlan... I think this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Xin Rui..."
"No! The young master has been separated from the young lady for so long... we will definitely see each other again... and the young lady wrote that she is ready to go to sea... as soon as the young master arrives, then..." Youlan choked with sobs.
Can't go on.
Lian Shaohua smiled bitterly and said: "This time the imperial court sent so many people to chase me back... I'm afraid the odds are against me... I finally left that place, but I didn't expect to go back..."
"Young master, please hold on a little longer... We will set off right away. When we get to the town ahead, I will find a doctor to treat the young master and get some good horses..."
Before Youlan could finish speaking, Lian Shaohua interrupted her: "It's too late. The people chasing us were riding war horses. Last time we had a chance to escape because there were few people on the other side. Now that we have determined our position, we must
More people will be sent over... If your guess is correct, the people chasing us should be the Xuanyuan Army, and the Xuanyuan Army is the Third Prince's people... Fighting all year round... We have no chance..."
After saying that, Lian Shaohua took a deep breath, took out a jade pendant from his arms and stuffed it into Youlan's hand: "You don't have to worry about me, you go first, and when you see Xin Rui, tell her that I have something to do."
...You take her on the ship and leave Daxia when the time comes... When you get there, if there is no news from me within three years, you can tell her the truth..."
Lan Yuan's eyes were moist and she bit her lip: "Young master... we want to go together..."
"Silly girl, when Xinrui sent you to Kyoto to help me, you have suffered a lot over the years. Now it's time for you to accompany Xinrui..." Lian Shaohua couldn't help but cough again,
"Ahem... Listen to me, take the jade pendant and leave quickly, otherwise none of us will be able to leave in a while."
"Son..."
"Youlan!" Lian Shaohua said seriously, "Do you still listen to me?"
Youlan was stunned for a moment, bit her lip hard, and held the jade pendant tightly: "Sir, take care of yourself!"
After saying that, she got out of the carriage, with a bright red color on the corner of her mouth, obviously she had bitten her lip just now.
She didn't care at all, put on her raincoat, jumped out of the carriage, untied a horse that was in relatively good condition, jumped on the horse, and got into the wind and rain at dusk.
Not long after Youlan left, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and then a group of dark people appeared in front of the carriage.
The leader raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then ordered: "Go and have a look."
"yes!"
As a result, as soon as a man jumped off the horse, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lian Shaohua got out of it and stood on the carriage.
In the wind and rain, Lian Shaohua's thin body was so strong, and his eyes were full of fearlessness!
…
Li Mansion, backyard.
Li Qi sighed and said to Tang Yun on the side: "Do you think they can catch Lian Shaohua?"
Tang Yun put down the "Illustrated Records of the Great Xia" in his hand, looked at Li Qi and said: "Master, the Xuanyuan Army rides only one-of-a-kind war horses, which can travel hundreds of miles a day, but Master Lian only uses civilian horses, and these are
Most of the people walking along the way are on official roads... Xuanyuan's army can catch up quickly as long as they take a small road."
"According to what you said, wouldn't Lian Shaohua be able to escape?"
Tang Yundao: "Nine times out of ten, it is impossible to run away."
"Alas!" Li Qi sighed, "Brother Lian is miserable enough... You said that Marquis Yuwen is also insidious, so why do you want to blame Brother Lian for what happened in Lanyuan?"
Tang Yundao: "Young Master, I think since they can find out that the matter about Lanyuan was investigated by the Young Master, then they will naturally find out the source of this matter..."
"Are you saying that Lian Shaohua revealed this matter to Concubine Dou when the third prince knew about it?" Li Qi was stunned.
Tang Yun nodded.
"After being reminded like this, it is really possible. After all, it seems that Concubine Dou and the Crown Prince are behind the Lanyuan incident. In fact, the person behind it is Lian Shaohua... If I hadn't thought it was too strange at the beginning, it wouldn't have been possible.
Suspicion is on him..."
Li Qi thought and touched his chin: "It seems that the third prince is hiding such a large force in Kyoto. Otherwise, it would be impossible to investigate the matter to such an extent. And when I first investigated the Lanyuan case, I didn't
It was carried out secretly, and the people involved were all trustworthy people..."
As he spoke, Li Qi asked Tang Yun: "Do you think there will be any problems with the bad guys?"
Tang Yundao: "It's hard to say..."
Li Qi scolded: "Grandma, I asked the prince to promote Yan Yuejun to be a bad handsome man now. If there is a problem with this guy, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot?"
"Yan Yuejun shouldn't be a big problem." Tang Yun said, "But it's hard to say for others. After all, the bad guys are too complicated, and many of them have complicated identities."
"It seems that we have to find a way to find out the secret forces of the Third Prince in Kyoto... But I don't have time anymore. I am going to attack Feiyan Village soon. I don't know when I will come back after leaving."
Li Qi said and sighed: "Yun'er, you have to go with me this time, otherwise if something happens then, I won't discuss it personally... But as soon as you leave, I feel a little worried about Kyoto...
It would be great if I could have a capable person stay in Kyoto to help me..."
Tang Yun smiled and said, "Young master, you want to stay in Kyoto alone to handle business?"
"No, look at who else around me besides you has a brain?" Li Qi said angrily.
"Sir, I think there is someone who is very suitable." Tang Yundao said.
