Chapter 318 Qingyun is trapped
Chapter 318 Qingyun is trapped
Before the horse started to move, Jiang Sini was already in tears.
She placed one hand on her pregnant belly, and seeing that the baby was about to be born, she really didn't want Jiang Cheng to leave.
Jiang Cheng had been very good to her since they got married, but she always felt that something was missing.
She looked at Jiang Cheng and heard him say:
"wait me back."
Jiang Sini sniffed:
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back."
Jiang Dani and Jiang Sanni stood on both sides of Jiang Sini, trying to comfort her.
At the same time, he waved goodbye to Jiang Yue and the other three.
Jiang Dani: "Lin Guo, you guys have to take good care of Xiaoliu along the way."
Lin Guo responded with a smile.
Jiang Sanni nodded, but before she could speak, she heard Mu Heng say, "Don't worry, we will definitely take care of each other."
What Lin Guo and Mu Heng were thinking in their hearts was that Xiao Liu was no longer the same as before and they were no match for him. It would be a shame to even talk about protecting him.
Jiang Yue listened to everyone's words and turned to Jiang Cheng and said:
"Fourth brother-in-law, you were seriously injured in the battle of Liangzhou. It was with great difficulty that you managed to survive..."
Jiang Cheng: "I'll stay!"
Jiang Yue: "Okay!"
Jiang Sini's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and her focus was on:
"Acheng, you are seriously injured..."
"Xiaoliu is exaggerating. It's just a minor injury. It's okay." Jiang Cheng helped Jiang Sini over and looked at the worried eyes of his grandmother and the sisters, and said something to comfort her.
On the way out, several people traveled in plain clothes.
Jiang Yue's original group of five people became four.
Although the four of them wanted to travel light, their grandmother and sisters still stuffed a lot of dry food into them.
As they travelled, they rode at top speed.
The corners of Jiang Wuni's lips relaxed, and her sadness of leaving home was swept away because Jiang Cheng stayed.
Xiaoliu is always so considerate.
Lin Guo and Mu Heng looked at each other. Finally, the fourth sister would stop crying.
They passed through Qinghe Town, Chuanshui County, Huai'an County...
The horses galloped swiftly,
Although Jiang Wu Ni was a little uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth and persevered, not complaining of being tired.
Around noon, they ate some dry food in a forest.
After a simple meal, they continued on their journey, passing through various counties. Near dusk, the horses arrived at the foot of Qingyun City.
Although it is important to hurry, you also need to rest. You can't run day and night.
Not to mention the people, even the horse under him couldn't bear it.
Everyone dismounted and led their horses into Qingyunzhou City.
Jiang Yue had only been to Qingyun Prefecture twice during the imperial examinations, so it was considered a short stay.
Lin Guo had also been here once. Now, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar street, he thought of every little thing that happened when Jiang Yue came here to take the college entrance examination. The streets were the same, but the mentality was different.
At dusk, Jiang Yue and Lin Guo took the lead and found an inn.
"Dear guests, please come in," the waiter greeted them warmly. Seeing that they looked exhausted, he asked:
"But you want to stay in a hotel?"
Jiang Yue: "Stay in a hotel. I need four rooms."
Jiang Yue and the others arranged their accommodation properly and gathered downstairs to prepare for dinner.
On the table at night, there were sweet and sour carp, charcoal-grilled spareribs... as well as some light vegetables and thick millet porridge.
Finally, there are hot big white steamed buns.
Jiang Yue has lived in the border area for a long time and is now very interested in food.
The food in this inn was also very much to her liking.
During this period,
From time to time, I heard news of victories at the border.
"Have you heard? Our soldiers from Donglin won the battle!"
"Such great news has spread all over the city."
“It’s really not easy for the soldiers.”
"..."
All they heard was praise for the soldiers at the border, but they didn't know that the people sitting next to them were the soldiers at the border.
at this time,
Several well-dressed men entered the inn one after another.
Among them, there was one man wearing a jade crown, with handsome features and a black robe, and he undoubtedly looked noble.
The other four were all dressed in black, standard guard attire.
Seeing that there was more business, the second brother smiled even more broadly, "Sir, please come in."
Then, he led the masters and servants to the second floor as needed.
At this time, the voices of several people rang in my ears.
"Master, how far are we from the border?" asked a guard.
In front of him, the man in black clothes replied:
"We've already reached Qingyun. It should take another two or three days."
When Jiang Yue and others heard the word "border", they paid more attention and glanced at the man in black thoughtfully.
Several people continued to eat.
Jiang Yue was puzzled. The war situation at the border was tense, and this man was dressed luxuriously and did not look like an ordinary citizen. Could he be an official sent to the border by the imperial court?
After Jiang Yue and others finished their dinner, they went upstairs to rest.
When I woke up, it was dawn again.
Jiang Yue thought that the city gate would open at 3:00 a.m., so she got up early, dressed, and prepared to leave.
Go out for a while, wait for a moment,
Jiang Wuni, Lin Guo and Mu Heng walked out one after another.
The few people looked at each other, and each carried their luggage and left the inn.
I took the horse from the inn's stable and rode it to the Qingyun city gate.
But he found the city gates were tightly closed.
The Qingyun guards were driving the early risers back into the city.
This phenomenon made Jiang Yue's face darken, and she wondered what had happened.
"What's going on?" Lin Guo was puzzled, and the others were even more confused.
The faces of several people did not look very good.
Jiang Yue and others took a few steps forward and walked towards the soldiers guarding the city gate.
The soldiers who received the order waved their hands to stop him.
"Everyone go back. No outsiders are allowed to leave the city."
Jiang Yue: "Why?"
However, no response was received.
If they had known this would happen, they would rather have lived outdoors.
She asked, "May I ask where the envoy lives?"
"Is it possible for you common people to inquire about the residence of the Assassin?" The soldier, who had been assigned a task, would not speak out the truth casually.
Of course, he was also afraid of Jiang Yue and others who wanted to secretly harm the envoy.
After all, their Lord is upright and has many enemies, so such things happen from time to time.
Looking again, they saw that many businessmen who wanted to leave Qingyun City, like them, were crowded at the city gate, sighing.
The four of them turned back, wondering what kind of sudden change had happened in Qingyun City.
Although Jiang Yue and the others were traveling much faster than the Xuanwu Army led by Yue Tingshan, they still wanted to meet up as soon as possible.
"What is going to happen?" Lin Guo asked.
Mu Heng guessed: "Maybe Qingyun City wants to catch the bandits?"
Otherwise, how could the city be blocked?
Jiang Yue thought it made sense. "Or maybe there were spies from the enemy country who infiltrated Qingyun."
Without thinking, she said to the people behind her:
"Go to the governor's mansion."
"Xiao Liu, do you know the Assassin?" Jiang Wuni asked, while the others were all hoping for a lucky break.
This, Lin Guo knows:
"He was the former magistrate of Chuanshui County. He was later promoted to become the Qingyun Assassin."
He had heard about this when he was doing business before.
"I just don't know where the assassin is."
