Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight The Posthouse Shocked
My father is still paying condolences in Yongdu. Since her father left, too many things have happened in the Demon Suppression Department. Chen Weiyu vaguely feels that the situation is a bit subtle. Although she is at home during this period, she is very concerned about major events in the court. After all, she is about to enter the palace and is nominally going to become the lord of the harem of the mother Yi Tianxia.
Not to mention entering the harem, I started to face so many twists and turns before I even entered the harem, and it was definitely not smooth sailing ahead.
Qin Lang and his group were guards nominated by Chen Weiyu, mainly from the Demon Suppression Department, with a total of twenty people. The court also sent a team of fifty people to greet them, including thirty Jinlin Guards, led by An Gaoqiu, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor.
An Gaoqiu rode on a white horse with a arrogant look. He was a celebrity beside the Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong. Even the Crown Princess Chen Weiyu didn't take it seriously. He did not give the wedding ceremony one day, and he was still the daughter of the Chen family. He went to say hello and ordered to set off.
An Gaoqiu asked the commander who sent the bride to come over.
Qin Lang rode the Black Wind he had just bought from the end of the team. The horse looked very ordinary on the surface and did not show the temperament of a BMW. An Gaoqiu narrowed his eyes. It was no accident that he was able to reach his current position. He had extraordinary ability in identifying people. He recognized Qin Lang at a glance as the boy he saw on the roof that night when he went to Sang Mansion.
Qin Lang said: "Qin Lang, the demon-suppressing officer, met Eunuch An."
An Gaoqiu nodded: "It seems that our family has seen you."
Qin Lang said respectfully: "In Sang Mansion, Lord Sang is my adoptive father." The eunuchs in the palace are best at observing their words and expressions, and they like to attract the power of others. The card with godfather is not to be bright and not to be bright. The purpose of showing the card is not to bully people, but to prevent being bullied by others.
An Gaoqiu's eyes lit up a little, and his originally grim face instantly became much gentler: "You are Qin Lang, very good. Our family is old friends with Lord Sang, so let's get closer in the future."
Qin Lang nodded with a smile, but he had no intention of getting close to the old eunuch. After all, in his past impression, the old eunuchs were mostly traitors and bad eunuchs, and An Gaoqiu had a bad reputation among the people.
Gu Xiefei and Zhao Changqing followed the team. They were escorting the escort team with Qin Lang's relationship, and they were obviously a little out of place with the others. Zhao Changqing whispered to Gu Xiefei: "That old eunuch is An Gaoqiu, right?"
Gu Xiefei glared at him. This nerd dared to say that he called him the eunuch in the Silijian's seal and was not afraid of being heard by others. Zhao Changqing was dissatisfied with An Gaoqiu. He had heard of many things that eunuchs were ruining the country. In his opinion, An Gaoqiu was a treacherous man who harmed the country and the people. He didn't understand why Qin Lang was so close to such a person, and he was chatting and laughing. He should not lose his principles and not compromise because of the other party's power!
Gu Xiefei saw that Zhao Changqing didn't know how to adapt, so he whispered to him a few words, beware of this guy causing trouble. He was not as good as Qin Lang in terms of his ten Zhao Changqing, and even one hundred Zhao Changqing was not as good as Qin Lang in terms of picking up girls.
There are only 300 miles from Chiyang, the patriarch to Yongdu. According to the plan, we will arrive in three days and have to rest for two nights in the inn on the way. All routes and rest points are pre-arranged. Unless an unexpected situation occurs, it will not be changed easily. Of course, only a few people know the specific route, and keeping it confidential is also for Chen Weiyu's safety consideration.
With the warning from Lu Xingqiao and Xiao Honglei, Qin Lang was ready for the worst, but he had a smooth journey for the first two days and did not encounter any danger on the way. Although he was responsible for escorting Chen Weiyu, Qin Lang had never seen her along the way. Chen Weiyu was served by maids throughout the journey, and rarely got off the bus on the way, stayed in the inn and lived in a quiet place. Even if there were any needs, it was conveyed through the old eunuch An Gaoqiu.
This is to avoid suspicion. As the future queen, every move is under the attention of others. If you are not careful in your behavior, you will be circulated by gossip.
Before he entered the palace, he had already drawn a clear line with ordinary people. In Qin Lang's opinion, Chen Weiyu's life was very uncomfortable, and it was no different from being in jail.
On the evening of the second day, the team successfully arrived at Pingyuan Post. There were less than fifty miles left here from Yongdu, which was also the last stop before they arrived at Yongdu. As the destination approached, everyone's tense mood also relaxed a little.
All the security guards during the itinerary were arranged by the Jinlin Guard. The personnel from Qin Lang from the Demon Sect were completely marginalized. They were always following the team when they were traveling during the day. At night, they were also arranged to stay outside the inn. In other words, they were not qualified to enter the inn. The personnel of the Demon Sect could not help but complain, but they complained privately. Anyway, they would complete the task tomorrow, and they would endure it.
No matter how powerful the Demon Suppressing Secretary is now, it is still incomparable to the Golden Scale Guards who are directly under the Emperor. What's more, the destruction of the Demon Suppressing Secret has been known to the government and the public, and the people who have implicated the Demon Suppressing Secret have been tragically mortified and ridiculed.
There were three small houses outside the inn, which temporarily became their resting place. Qin Lang divided the group into three groups, each of which was composed of seven. After nightfall, everyone took turns to patrol the Pingyuan Post. On the last night, they insisted on going through the past and completing the task successfully tomorrow.
The postmaster in the inn brought them wine and food. Qin Lang asked them to just eat openly, but they had to ban alcohol. If they wanted to drink, they had to wait until they completed the task tomorrow. Of course, this was mainly directed at Gu Xiefei. Gu Xiefei had no alcohol every day, and banning alcohol in the past two days had already made him complain.
Gu Xiefei sat in the hut and said angrily: "Are the Jinlin Guards of the imperial court better than us? Why do they have to stay outside when they are inside?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Everyone is just escorting Miss Chen, with different divisions of labor, so just adjust his mindset." In fact, he also has the identity of a seventh-grade golden scale guard, but he has never used it before. It is useless to think about it. The presence of the golden scale guard in Chiyang is not strong.
Zhao Changqing was very open-minded at this point. Anyway, they were extra-staff members, and following the free meal and drink to Yongdu was a complete benefit from Qin Lang's favor.
At this time, a young eunuch came over to ask Qin Lang to talk about the matter with the order of the eunuch An Gaoqiu, the chief eunuch in charge of the seal.
Qin Lang handed over the matter here to Gu Xiefei and entered the inn with the eunuch.
The snow was falling outside and the indoor was as warm as spring. An Gaoqiu, wearing gorgeous home clothes, sat at the table. He took off his official hat and his white hair was as snow.
The table is already filled with rich wine and delicacies, as well as various fruits that are rare in this season. The hospitality standards in the inn are obviously different.
Seeing Qin Lang come in, An Gaoqiu smiled and said, "Nephew, come and have two drinks with our family." There was nothing to talk about at this time. It was just an excuse to get close to Qin Lang. Through the observations of the past two days, I found that this young man was very good at dealing with people. No wonder Sang Jingtian accepted him as his godson.
Qin Lang politely declined and said, "Eunuch An, I have to stay at night, so I will be spared this wine."
An Gaoqiu raised his orchid and pointed: "There are so many golden scale guards, just drink with confidence, sit down, and chat with us for a few words."
Qin Lang sat down opposite him.
An Gaoqiu looked at Qin Lang with his eyes and said, "I will arrive in Yongdu tomorrow. Along the way, we have no chance to sit down and have a drink." Inviting Qin Lang to come mainly to give Sang Jingtian face. Sang Jingtian is now the head of the minister of responsibleness and has a very high voice to succeed as prime minister.
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. When I arrive in Yongdu, I will treat you to you."
"Why go to Yongdu? You won't let you drink too much, so you can have three drinks with us."
Seeing that he was so enthusiastic about his advice, Qin Lang couldn't refuse, so he drank a glass with him. The wine was good. Qin Lang's alcohol tolerance had recovered now, but he did not dare to drink, and he had never tried to get drunk.
An Gaoqiu said slowly: "When you arrive at Dabaoen Temple tomorrow, your mission will be completed."
Qin Lang was stunned when he heard this. Didn’t he want to send Chen Weiyu to the palace? Why did it become Dabaoen Temple? He said in surprise: “Eunuch An, what are you doing in Dabaoen Temple?”
An Gaoqiu laughed: "Our family forgot to say that it was the empress dowager's meaning. Miss Chen's family went to Dabao'en Temple to recite scriptures and worship Buddha for three months to save the last emperor and pray for blessings for the new emperor. The empress dowager really made good efforts. This move was for Miss Chen's family to win the reputation of benevolence and filial piety."
Qin Lang then realized that Chen Weiyu would go to Dabaoen Temple first after arriving in Yongdu. He thought that she would go to Yongdu to be the queen and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, but before entering the palace, he gave her a warning. He couldn't help but sigh that Chen Weiyu's fate was ill-fated. She probably didn't know about this. Before she became the queen, she went to experience the life of a nun first. The three-month-old Qinglanguage Ancient Buddha is pitiful. The bullshit name of benevolence and filial piety is nothing more than an excuse.
"Does Miss Chen know?"
An Gaoqiu said: "It doesn't matter."
He suddenly felt dizzy, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, smashing it to pieces.
"This wine..." An Gaoqiu looked at Qin Lang in shock. Before he could finish his words, he fell on the table.
Qin Lang was surprised. What's wrong with An Gaoqiu? This old eunuch had a problem with his eyes just now. What's the matter with me? I didn't pour the wine for you!
There was a thud from behind, and he turned around and looked at it, but the eunuch who was serving them and was responsible for pouring wine fell straight on the ground, foaming at the mouth and not knowing the situation.
I'm so fucking hard to explain.
Qin Lang stood up suddenly, and the first thing he thought was that the wine and food was poisonous. The problem was that he had just drunk a glass of wine. He took a breath and felt that his body was not seriously injured. It was estimated that his body was recast by Colorful Blood Lotus, which was different from ordinary people, and he was likely to have stronger anti-toxic ability.
Looking at An Gaoqiu again, worried that the old eunuch would be poisoned to death. After a brief check, I found that An Gaoqiu had just fainted and his vital signs were quite stable. He shook An Gaoqiu's body vigorously, but he could not wake him up.
Chapter completed!
