Chapter 331 Dive into
Amid the joyful musical instruments, Ouyang Lan was dressed neatly and was helped by four maids and walked onto the carriage. We looked behind and felt a little sad. The butler Zhang Si stayed behind and said a few words to us, "These brides are the travel expenses for you. You can go as far as you can. Don't let the city lord see you again."
"Also, Miss Ouyang has nothing to do with you anymore, so don't bother her again in the future."
Zhang Si left, we wiped away our tears and climbed up to the wall. The team of more than one hundred people on the street, holding signs, beating drums, scattering petals, and setting off firecrackers. In front of the carriage Ouyang Lan was riding, there was a four-horse chariot, but the stabs on it were all unloaded.
This is the etiquette of the vast ancient country. Unlike the Chinese country, ordinary people ride horses when they get married, and the groom who has status rides on chariots. The lowest level is two colorful horses. Like the city lord, four solid-color horses, which are medium and upper-middle. Huo Jiayuan sat on it, holding the reins, waving the horse whip in his hand, and four thousand-mile horses listened to Huo Jiayuan's command to advance.
The people on the roadside cast envious eyes and were very imposing for a moment.
Watching the convoy leave here, we quickly got off the city wall. We took out the valuable things in the bride price and filled it with a small box. Originally, all the silver coins Ouyang Lan earned in the clinic these days were exchanged for gold and big money, and half a box was filled, and then all the rest was put into jewelry.
Then I filled a box with silver coins. The two small boxes were less than one meter tall, but the money contained inside should be enough for us to support the capital. I asked Li En and Leng Zheng to wait at home, rode a horse and went to the craftsman shop. The carriage was ready, and only two horses could be pulled, with a place to sit on it and a place to store grain.
At the same time, there are poisonous stings hidden under the car wheel and steel armor that can be lifted and lowered. If you encounter danger, you just need to turn on the armor, then release the poisonous stings, and urge the horse to rush. I bought two more old horses and asked them to help me pull the carriage back.
Leng Zheng and Li En were amazed when they saw this, "Oh, when did you prepare such a luxurious carriage?"
"It's been more than a month ago. I asked the craftsmen to double the work these two days before they did it." I said, "I checked it and there was no problem. Come and help me replace the six horses."
Although the wood I chose was light and strong, and two horses were enough to pull, it was inevitable that the horse would get sick or die on the road. These six horses were replacement spare tires. We carried the cash box onto the carriage, and we also brought some clothes, bedding, and even pots and pans.
The journey to the capital is long and it takes half a year to walk the official road. There are no trains and planes here, so you can only jog slowly with the horse. So you have to bring all the things, and there is no one sold on the way.
After we prepared all the things, the three of us locked the door. When we left, I handed over the deeds of the house and all the remaining bride gifts to Xiao Liuzi for safekeeping. Whether he accepted them or not, he directly sent them to him, and then drove out of the city in a carriage.
Li En asked, "Where is sister-in-law? Why didn't you see her?"
"She is with Ouyang Lan, responsible for protecting her safety." I said, "After a while, let Li En drive the carriage. You drive the carriage around Qingye City, and then stop at the entrance of the official road to the capital. Let's go back together and pick up Ouyang Lan out."
I went around to get rid of the city lord's mansion's suspicion. The people in the city lord's mansion definitely didn't believe that we just left like this, and would follow us behind the scenes to check if we were really leaving.
We arrived at the location, parked the carriage behind the roadside post station, gave the boss some money, and asked him to help us disguise the carriage. Then we left the station and headed all the way to Qingye City. We were covered with a headscarf and covered with a fake beard. As long as we didn't look carefully, or were not people who often got along with us, it would be difficult to tell who we were.
We entered Qingye City with great swagger and rushed all the way to the city lord's mansion.
Today is a great day for Huo Jiayuan, so many well-known figures from Qingye City have also come to support them. On the day of the city lord's joy, anyone can go and have a meal, and all the beggars in the city have gone.
We easily scrambled into the city lord's mansion. The yard was full of people, and it was just an outer courtyard. It was impossible for ordinary civilians to enter the inner courtyard. Leng Zheng and I knocked out the two guards, put on their clothes and scrambled into the inner courtyard, and let Li En wait outside. The situation in the inner courtyard was much better than outside, and there were many dignitaries inside, or they were leaders in black and white.
The dancer with a tulle figure and naked body showed her beautiful and eye-catching dance steps on an open space in the middle of the yard. Everyone put them on the dancer. No one noticed that the two guards knocked a servant unconscious and threw him over the wall.
Lee En changed into the servant's clothes and walked out of the cottage, "How is it? Are you handsome?"
"It's okay. You can pay attention later, mix in with those people, grasp Huo Jiayuan's movements, and send us any signal at any time if you have any accidents." I said.
Li En took the fireworks sent by Leng Zheng. Leng Zheng instructed: "Look three red ones and we will know that something is wrong. We will rush to Ouyang Lan as soon as possible, and you will find a way to escape and wait in the carriage."
Li En nodded vigorously, "Well, you must be careful too."
After separating from Li En, Leng Zheng and I pretended to be patrolling guards and wandered around the city lord's mansion, looking for the location of the new house. We should have been in the guards and chasing place. After searching for the vast city lord's mansion, I found Ouyang Lan's place. Ouyang Lan was still very safe. Liu Xueyan noticed us, but did not make any sound, probably because she was afraid of affecting Ouyang Lan's mood.
We left here and went to find Huo Jiayuan's study. Things about tiger talismans are crucial, and this kind of thing cannot be easily seen. Maybe we will be charged with rebellion. So it is very likely that it will be placed in the study, warehouse, secret room, etc.
But after searching for a long time, we couldn't find the location of the study. Finally, Leng Zheng caught a servant and asked where the warehouse was. After asking, he knocked the person out of the grass. There were soldiers outside the warehouse, so he had to think of a solution to go in. I said, "I'll lead him away, you go in and find the key."
I took out a few silver coins from my pocket, ran to the guard, and smiled and said, "The two of you are drinking and enjoying the dance front, why don't you go?"
