Chapter 267 Get off the ship and enter Beijing

As soon as Jiang Langya stepped into a room on the giant ship, he staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

But Jiang Qingyu seemed to have anticipated his weakness, and reached out to support him in time.

Feeling the strength from his arm that was far superior to the seventh grade of Houtian, Jiang Langya couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just letting Jiang Qingyu help him onto the bed.

"I was hurt badly."

A moment later, Jiang Langya, who was leaning on the bed, took out a healing pill from his bosom and took it, and frowned at the same time:

"After arriving in the capital, I'm afraid there will be a steady stream of troubles!"

"After all, my reputation is not small. Many dignitaries want to step on me to become famous and show their loyalty to the royal family. If I were in my prime, I would be worthy of this group of local chickens and dogs, but now..."

He didn't say any more.

But everyone else understands that Jiang Langya has been seriously injured by Qingsan today, and as Jing Xuan said, there are no people in the capital who are no less powerful than Qingsan. Trouble, then Jiang Langya, who is seriously injured, is bound to have a bad end!

"How long will it take Brother Langya to fully recover from his injuries?"

"We set off early this time when we entered Beijing. The time is not urgent, and we can definitely delay it for ten days and a half months on the way."

Jiang Qingyu said with concern:

"Also, if the pills are not enough..."

"No, I don't lack any pills."

Jiang Langya interrupted:

"Within three days, I can recover [-]% of my strength, but the remaining [-]% ​​cannot be recovered in a short period of time."

"and……"

"This time I entered Beijing, I didn't want to be too showy, so as not to attract too much attention. The seriously injured body can save us a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly, expressing her understanding.

If Jiang Langya enters the capital at his peak state, it will inevitably attract batch after batch of Haoyue Realm masters who appear to be fighting in the name of exchanging ideas, but are actually trying to beat the Jubei Palace.

At that time, if he wins, it will aggravate the fear of the royal family, and if he loses, he will lose the face of the Jubei Palace.

But now, he can completely avoid some discussions in the name of serious injuries.

While it's impossible to circumvent everything, it also saves a lot of hassle.

"Actually, you shouldn't have stopped me just now, you should have allowed me to kill Qingsan!"

Jiang Langya mentioned the battle just now:
"I can see that that person's martial arts cultivation base has touched the threshold of the Sunshine Realm. It can be as short as ten days and a half months, and as long as three to five years, and he can completely enter the Sunshine Realm!"

"If he succeeds in breaking through the realm, Qingzhou will have one more Sunshine Realm, then our situation in the northern border will be even more difficult in the future!"

Jiang Qingyu shook her head lightly:
"The situation in the northern border cannot be changed at the beginning of the day."

"If it really comes to that point, even if Qingsan becomes a bright sun, father and king can shoot him and Jing Xuan to death together within three or five strokes!"

"What's more, I always feel that this person is not that loyal to Jing Xuan!"

"After all, Jingxuan is not the emperor, I'm afraid he doesn't have that great ability to make a Sunshine Realm surrender willingly!"

Hearing this, Jiang Langya narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

He couldn't help thinking about the battle on Qingjiang yesterday, so he sighed and said helplessly:
"You're right, Yaorijing is no longer qualified to be a chess player in this chess game called Tianxia."

"The world is not just Beijing and Beidi. One more or one less Yaori will not change anything at all."

After realizing this, he once again felt deeply powerless.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu hurriedly comforted her:
"Brother Langya..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Jiang Langya smiled:
"You don't have to persuade me, I'm not as weak-hearted as you think."

After seeing the demeanor of the Six Precepts Living Buddha, he has already realized that a practitioner must be fearless, so even if his heart is weak, he will not waver!

"Okay, you don't have to stay here all the time, I need to rest alone."

Jiang Langya started to chase people away.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu and the others didn't stay any longer, and bowed out one by one.

……

In the next few days, the fleet sailed smoothly along the south of the Yangtze River. Except for two small groups of bandits and officers and soldiers fighting, there were no twists and turns along the way.

It is worth mentioning that the fleet was supposed to arrive at the target port within two days, and then take the official road to enter Beijing, but under various delays by Xiong Hui, Jiang Qingyu and his party did not leave until four days later, on February [-]th. up the boat.

In addition, since the goods on board were raw jade stones, many of which were large in size, it took almost another day to unload this batch of goods to the port and load them on the carriage.

Jiang Qingyu did not choose to leave first.

Even though there was a guard army from the capital waiting early at the port, the leader named Dong Shen repeatedly assured that they would be responsible for the safety of his party, and mentioned many times that Emperor Jing Hong often praised Bei Bei in court. Wang He himself is a tiger father and no dog son, and he can't wait to meet his young hero.

The words are filled with the meaning of urging to enter Beijing.

But Jiang Qingyu still insisted on going to Beijing with the Xiong family, and said that it was immoral to abandon them after getting off the boat after getting off the boat.

After hearing this, Dong Shen stopped urging.

Anyway, it will be a matter of time before the son enters Beijing, and it will not be a few days away.

So, at noon on February [-]th, Jiang Qingyu got into that familiar luxury carriage, accompanied by five hundred An Beijun soldiers, and together with thousands of people from Xiong's family carrying goods, they marched towards the capital where the capital was located. location rush.

In the carriage, Jiang Qingmeng and Jiang Qingyin, who hadn't shown much on the boat all this time, looked sad and reticent.

They held the wooden box containing the Chunlei Qin and sighed.

The other held his chin in both hands, and kept opening the curtain to poke his head out to look ahead, as if checking how long it would take to reach the capital.

Beside them, there was also Li Mulan who hadn't shown much on the boat.

However, Li Mulan didn't have any worry on her face, she just looked at Jiang Qingyu often, and didn't know what was going on in her heart.

For the two daughters Jiang Qingmeng and Jiang Qingyin, although the things that happened along the way were scary, they were not qualified to ask about them with their strength, so it was better to pretend that they knew nothing and not bother Jiang Qingyu.

But they didn't forget that they came to the capital for another purpose, so the closer they got to the capital, the more ups and downs they felt.

On the other hand, Li Mulan wanted to ask Jiang Qingyu something, but she didn't know how to ask her.

She has been staying with Jiang Qingmeng and Jiang Qingyin for the past few days, and she is responsible for protecting the second daughter, but because of this, she has missed many opportunities to observe Jiang Qingyu.

This made her feel very sorry.

Before entering Beijing this time, grandpa Li Han wrote her a letter, saying that his old man was old and the Li family was too young to take care of him. He was afraid that Li Mulan would be alone after his death, so he hoped that she would think about fulfilling it as soon as possible. Marriage contract with Jiang Qingyu.

"General Li, if you have something to do, you might as well speak up."

At this moment, Jiang Qingyu noticed that Li Mulan was always sneaking glances at her, so she gave him a friendly smile.

After being called, Li Mulan was slightly taken aback, and then said bluntly:
"I... I heard that the pretty widow in Bailu Villa disappeared, and she went to your room the night before she disappeared?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu froze for a moment.

He thought that the other party would ask about the monster Gu Ming or Jing Xuan blocking the river, but who would have thought that it was Leng Weiwei?

The matter of Leng Weiwei was just an insignificant episode in his eyes, but...

In Li Mulan's heart, she didn't seem to think so.

"Yes, she came to my room."

Jiang Qingyu was very calm.

As soon as these words came out, Li Mulan's face darkened immediately, then he snorted coldly, closed his mouth, and turned his head away from looking at Jiang Qingyu.

Obviously, she misunderstood.

She thought that something must have happened between the pretty widow and the young prince that night.

"..."

Jiang Qingyu didn't give any explanation.

He just got out of the carriage, went to sit beside Jiang Shan who was driving.

"There are a lot of people inside, and they are all female relatives. I'd better squeeze with my brother."

Jiang Shan nodded, and at the same time deliberately amplified his voice:

"Why didn't your son explain it? You obviously didn't do anything with that pretty widow that night?"

In the carriage, Li Mulan's expression softened immediately upon hearing the words.

But in the next moment, she said to herself in her heart:

"Why didn't he explain?"

"Do you not care about my feelings at all?"

"That's right, there are so many women around him, even a pretty widow can refuse to come to his door in the middle of the night, surely there will be no shortage of a female general with calloused hands like me!"

"wrong……"

"Why do I care so much about him? Could it be..."

"No, it's not!"

Li Mulan snorted again in anger, but couldn't help pricking up her ears to listen to the response from the person outside the car.

"Explain what? Those who are innocent will clear themselves. People who trust me will never doubt my innocence!"

Jiang Qingyu sighed softly:
"The current situation is complicated. After I enter Beijing, I will definitely be targeted by all parties. If I am not careful, I may even lose my life. How can I think about men and women at this time?"

"and……"

"I'm going to see my mother and elder brother soon. I haven't seen you for 12 years. I'm afraid I don't know what to say when we meet."

"I was only seven years old when the two of them left the palace, and 12 years later, I'm afraid they won't recognize me anymore."

After hearing these words, Li Mulan couldn't help feeling a bit of self-blame in her heart:
"I, shouldn't I doubt him?"

Outside the carriage, Jiang Shan smiled heartily:
"Your Majesty, you have worried too much. In the past 12 years, Madam and Eldest Young Master must have been thinking about you day and night. I'm afraid I can't finish talking about you for a few days and nights!"

"In addition, close relatives of flesh and blood, no matter how long it has passed, they will never fail to recognize each other!"

"I think back then I had a comrade in arms who guarded the border and didn't go home once for five years! Later, when I went home with him, I saw a seven or eight-year-old girl with shofar braids at the entrance of the village. He insisted on hugging her and saying This is his daughter!"

"And guess what? It really is!"

"I haven't seen you for five years. The last time we parted, my daughter was still in her infancy. You can recognize this at a glance! I have to say, blood is really a metaphysics!"

"So, madam and eldest son will definitely recognize the son."

"What's more, the prince will order people to send the portraits of the prince to the capital every year, so that the wife and the eldest son can relieve the pain of lovesickness. Each portrait is made by the best painter in the whole north. It is so vivid that it looks like a real person! So Ah, Madam and Eldest Young Master will recognize your identity the first time they see Shizi!"

Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

He knew all of this, and he knew that even though he hadn't seen each other for 12 years, the love for him from his mother and eldest brother hadn't diminished by half.

Otherwise, they would not have gone to Nanshan Temple to pray for themselves, and successfully persuaded Liujie to help them a lot in the battle of Beidi.

but……

He was even more worried about whether the two of them would agree to go with him if he frankly stated that the real purpose of his trip to Beijing was to bring his two relatives back home.

The eldest brother, Jiang Qingshu, has a good reputation in the capital and is highly regarded by Prince Jingyuan. In addition, he seems to like Xun Nanchun, the granddaughter of Mr. Xun Yong's granddaughter, Jixia Academy. It is not easy to persuade him to leave the capital.

As for mother Lu Wan'er...

If the eldest brother doesn't leave, she will definitely not leave either.

In addition, if it cannot be guaranteed that the two of them will not leave the Jubei Prince's Mansion in crisis and the entire Chu Kingdom into war, then they probably won't leave either!
After all, the two entered Beijing as hostages in the first place to reduce Emperor Jing Hong's suspicion of the Refubei Palace and save Chu from a war!
"Right now, some people in the capital want to kill their mother and elder brother, so as to force their father to rebel against the king, so as to justifiably cut down the feudal clan, and allow the Jing clan to regain control of the northern region!"

"So it's too dangerous for them to stay in the capital!"

"I must persuade them to go!"

Jiang Qingyu looked resolute:
"If they don't say anything and refuse to leave this time, then I can only knock them out and take them away!"

……

Because the batch of Xiong's goods was too heavy, the team walked very slowly.

After half a day.

at dusk.

Seeing that it was getting late, Dong Shen, the commander of the Imperial Guard who was in charge of receiving and protecting Jiang Qingyu and his party, came to the carriage.

Just listen to him say:

"His Royal Highness, it's getting late. Today, please go to the post station to rest for one night, and leave early tomorrow morning. It is estimated that you will arrive in the capital in the afternoon, and you will meet Princess Jubei and Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly:
"It's troublesome."

Jiang Qingyu didn't know much about Dong Shen.

All I know is that this man's martial arts cultivation is at the peak of Haoyue Realm, and he is one of the top four commanders of the eight imperial guards that Jing Xuan said are no less powerful than Qingsan.

It is rumored that the other party was born in an ordinary family, not a son of a powerful person. He joined the army in Jiaozhou when he was 15 years old, fought with the Nanman clan, and made countless military exploits. After 20 years, he was favored by Emperor Jinghong when he came to the capital for the first time to report his duties. Promoted to be the deputy commander of the imperial guards, and was restored eight years later!

Although her resume was clean and she seemed to have no background, Jiang Qingyu never forgot that the Annan Protectorate of Chu State was established in Jiaozhou.

So this person used to be Xue Mu's subordinate!

And Xue Mu had a son who died in battle, and he had a marriage contract with Xun Nanchun, the sweetheart of his elder brother Jiang Qingshu.

Jiang Qingyu didn't know whether Emperor Jing Hong knew about this matter, if he knew, then sending this person to pick him up to Beijing would be out of good intentions!
