Chapter 294 Arriving in the Capital
The rest of the journey went much smoother. Perhaps the destruction of the 50th person made the people behind him fearful and stop their attempts to commit suicide.
When they arrived at the next larger county town, Lianyi and his party stayed directly in the best inn, planning to rest here for five days. They were not in a hurry to leave. Manager Li and Mrs. Li did not dare to make a fuss and stayed quietly. room, without any reluctance.
Seeing that the two of them and the remaining two guards knew each other, Lianyi did not embarrass them. She just ordered Luo Ying to call Wen Lu and the guard captain over.
"After leaving this city, we will enter the capital. The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and the people there are the most knowledgeable about what to eat.
We have been avoiding interceptions all the way, and now it seems that the other party should stop, so we have to change ourselves, otherwise we will really be poor relatives coming to harass us, which will make the people in the Li family look down on us even more. "
With that said, he took out two five hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve pocket, pushed them in front of the guard captain Wu Meng, and directly ordered:
"A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. You can take the guys to change their outfits, prepare a change of clothes, and order a new carriage that suits my status. If your swords and swords need to be repaired or replaced with new ones, Just do it all together.”
The captain immediately held up his hands and thanked:
"Thank you for your care, Miss. Wu Meng will take care of it now."
"Keep a low profile and don't let anyone notice you."
"Yes, miss!"
Wu Meng put away the banknotes, leaving half of the people to guard the lady while the other half went out to do errands with him.
"Aunt Wen, you and Luo Ying go and make some new dresses for ourselves, preferably the styles that are popular in the capital now, but we can't be compared with the people in the Li family. I want them to flatter me, so I don't dare Show me your face, prepare two sets of jewelry for each person, as long as you don't go overboard."
This time, he directly gave Wen Lu two thousand taels in silver notes. Women's things are not cheap.
"Don't worry, Miss, I will take care of it myself. I will ask Minmin to follow Miss closely when I go out these two days."
"Don't worry Aunt Wen, I'm not a child and I won't run around."
Lianyi grinned. After arriving here, her consciousness had scanned the entire county. She only decided to spend money here after finding nothing unusual.
"When spending money, avoid Manager Li, Mrs. Li, and those two guards."
Ripple added another sentence.
"Don't worry, miss!"
Wen Lu was relatively steady and careful, and it took her three days to get everything done.
The night before departure, everyone changed their appearance and took on a new look. Ripple gathered everyone who came with them and made the last arrangements before entering Beijing.
"I am grateful to you for escorting me all the way to the capital. Although you all sold yourselves to the Wu family, I don't want to treat you badly. After entering the capital, there are still many crises, not only for me, but also for you. The capital is not only There are overt guns and hidden arrows, so I hope everyone will be more vigilant.”
After finishing speaking, Luo Ying followed Lianyi's instructions and gave each guard a one hundred tael silver note.
"This is what you deserve. After I finish my work in the capital, you will also be rewarded. When you return to Jiangnan, you can redeem your deed of betrayal. This is my promise."
Ripple did not forget to give these people a pat on the back, after all, these people survived because of her.
"We will swear allegiance to Miss!"
Although there were many dangers along the way, the lady did not give up on any of the seriously injured guards. For them, this was the best outcome.
Setting out to leave the county town on the second day, Manager Li and Mrs. Li looked at the new team and found that only the four of them seemed out of place. At this time, they realized that the Miss Wu family had only kept a low profile before, but now she was about to enter the capital, so she became public.
Afterwards, every time they visited a large town, one or two boxes would be added to their team, and the amount of things they purchased gradually increased.
When Luo Ying saw the beautiful jewelry, she wanted to buy it to dress up her young lady. Before she kept her filial piety, her young lady's clothes had always been dull. There was no need to dress up in the village. After she came out, she was hunted down all the way. How could she care about this? , Now I am going to meet the Li family, so I naturally have to dress up well.
Seven days later, Lianyi and his party successfully entered the gate of the capital. At this time, their team was already quite large. There were ten vehicles in total, all filled with boxes, and they just followed the team entering the city.
Manager Li and Mrs. Li were so excited that they wanted to cry. They finally returned to the capital alive.
Manager Li did not dare to leave Ripple and go ahead, so he could only send the remaining two guards to Li's house to report the news. He and Mrs. Li slowly advanced with the team and introduced the situation in the capital in a low voice beside Ripple's carriage.
The ripples on the car had already released their spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage, observing the entire capital. Finally, their spiritual consciousness stopped in the direction of the imperial city, with a flash of ridicule in their eyes.
An emperor who is bent on immortality, the true dragon energy that protects the imperial city has been swallowed up by a third by the black evil energy. If it continues, when the golden true dragon energy is completely swallowed up, this dynasty will probably come to an end. .
The end of a dynasty is nothing new. Unfortunately, the people of the world may have to experience another dynasty-changing melee. She can imagine how many people will die at that time, and the strong resentment will nourish the evil spirit.
In addition, the original person was replaced before and became the culprit responsible for all these crimes. His death was so ugly, and his resentment became even greater.
This time she came to the capital three years later than her original self. She was quite well prepared and hoped that it was still in time.
"Miss, Li Mansion is here!"
Luo Ying whispered to Ripple, who closed her eyes and rested.
"Miss, they only opened the side door to greet you."
Wen Lu's voice came from outside the carriage.
"I'm a distinguished guest of their Li Mansion. How can I be allowed to go through the side door? Please ask Aunt Wen to open the main door."
"good!"
Wenlu had long known from Manager Li that the reputation of the Li family might be able to bluff people outside, but it was at the bottom of the capital. What's more, these people were concerned about the lady's wealth, which was not a good thing, so she didn't Without any worries, he raised his foot and kicked hard, and the red door was kicked open.
The gatekeeper of Li Mansion also wanted to earn a few rewards. Even if he opened the side door, he only opened it halfway. Who knew that he didn't want to use the side door at all.
After the heavy door was kicked open, Wen Lu just waved her hand, and the guards of the Wu family stepped forward and removed the door. Chu Liangchen snorted coldly, raised the small whip in his hand, and the horse stepped into the door, followed by the rest. disembarking carriage.
Because of the commotion here, many people were watching, and they were all surprised that there was such an arrogant person. Minmin, who was left behind, stood outside the door and said loudly:
"My young lady is a cousin of the Li family. She has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. In order to understand the difficulties of the Li family, she brought all her family property to the Li family to be a guest. She also held a hairpin ceremony and invited all the neighbors to watch the ceremony."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a handful of copper coins were thrown out, three handfuls in a row. The front door of Li Mansion was extremely lively. The news of Wu Lianyi's arrival at Li Mansion also spread, and at the same time, there was also a lot of excitement. With her wealth.
