"Miss, the carriages and horses are all ready."

At Maoshi the next day, Cheng Yuguan got up.

In a guest house like Shisanjianlou, there were naturally no maids to serve him. Cheng Yuguan put on the simple clothes he brought when he came to Beijing, tied all his hair on his head, wrapped it in a jade hairpin, and walked outside the gate.

Some members of the tribe reported the situation of the carriages and horses, and the patriarch's uncle also got up early to see them off.

"Take care of Yuguan on the way, you know?"

Cheng Liuchuan told Cheng Lang, Cheng Lang nodded, "Understood, you can rest assured."

Although Cheng Lang is now tall and strong, he has not been crowned yet, and there is still a trace of youth on his face. Now he nods indiscriminately, which makes Cheng Liuchuan very angry.

He looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Your third cousin is playful, so Yuguan should keep him under control on the way."

Cheng Yuguan looked at the third cousin, who shrugged his shoulders, Cheng Yuguan laughed, and looked at his uncle, "Don't worry, we will take care of each other."

At this time, the sky will be bright, and the thirteen buildings are full of merchants from all over the world. Therefore, starting from Maoshi, the lanterns will be lit up to illuminate the long doors of the buildings brightly.

The Cheng family's motorcade is relatively large among the merchants in the thirteen buildings.At this moment, the members of the Cheng family were guarding the carriage one by one, forming a long queue, and the people passing by couldn't help but look sideways.

"Let's go, don't get in the way, there are other merchants behind to deliver goods."

Cheng Liuchuan waved his hand, and Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Lang got on the horse.

Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Lang took the lead, and the convoy started slowly. Cheng Yuguan seemed to have sensed it, and turned his head to look behind the thirteen buildings.

Behind the thirteen buildings is a tall palace wall.

Cheng Lang followed Cheng Yuguan's gaze and explained clearly, "You don't know the layout of the capital. There are a lot of people and goods in Thirteen Buildings. If they are placed elsewhere, there may be troubles and it will be difficult to control, so they are specially set up in the On the west side of the palace, it is not far from the Dragon Guard."

Cheng Yuguan suddenly realized that it turned out that it was placed next to the military men to prevent these people who came to the capital from all directions to make trouble.

That's right, with the scale of thirteen buildings, there may be thousands of people coming and going every day.It seems that the Cheng family belongs to Confucius Wuhanzi, and there are hundreds of them. It is normal for the public security in the capital to worry about these people.

However, what Cheng Yuguan cared about was not the Dragon Guard or others, she always felt that there was a gaze passing through the palace wall and coming from the attic of the inner palace.

"What's the name of that palace?"

Cheng Yuguan asked Cheng Lang beside him.

Cheng Lang thought for a while, "Close to the west gate, it should be Jingling Hall."

Cheng Yuguan thought for a while, she seemed to have heard that the Fourth Prince Li Mian was in Jingling Palace.

"Little sister, what are you looking at?"

Cheng Lang followed Cheng Yuguan's gaze, feeling a little puzzled.It's blue, the sky is still dark, what can you see clearly?
Cheng Yuguan looked back and shook his head, "It's nothing, let's go."

Seeing this, Cheng Lang didn't ask any more questions.

A group of people went straight out of the capital from the west gate and headed south.

"Your Highness?"

Lin Jing followed His Highness, seeing His Highness looking out of the palace with a barrel-shaped object, and now putting away the things, couldn't help asking.

The thirteen buildings in the distance were brightly lit, but the sky was still dark and people could not be seen clearly.

Your Highness can't see Miss Cheng from such a distance, right?
Lin Jing complained in her heart.

Li Mian put away the binoculars, shook his head, "It's nothing."

...

"It's been cool this year."

After leaving the capital, green grass grows on both sides of the official road, and occasionally there are tall and straight poplars and willows growing by the roadside.

Cheng Lang pulled a wicker that was lightly brushed against his face, feeling the coolness of the morning, couldn't help but speak.

It was already mid-May, and the weather wasn't too hot. Cheng Lang was very satisfied, so that they would have less trouble walking on the road.

"Don't be too happy. When the weather is cold, there will be a lot of rain. Don't look forward to the cold weather too much."

Cheng Yuguan poured cold water on Cheng Lang.

The two practiced martial arts together since they were young, and later Cheng Yuguan began to develop stone materials. At the beginning, only she and a few brothers from the patriarch's family delivered goods to various places in person.So on the road, I have my own views on things like the climate.

Hearing what Cheng Yuguan said, Cheng Lang thought of the embarrassment caused by the torrential rain in the past few years, so he stopped talking about cool things immediately.

However, Cheng Lang is restless.Not long after, he thought of another topic, and moved to Cheng Yuguan in a cheap way.

"You just left like that? I heard that you have been wronged a lot in the few days since you entered the Marquis's Mansion. You have always had a bad temper and can't stand the grievances. This time you let the Marquis' Mansion go like this. Could it be because of you? Father and siblings?"

Watching Cheng Yuguan grow up alone since childhood, Cheng Lang's family and the relatives of Chengjia Village are not friendly to Chenghou's Mansion, so it is inevitable to show it in words.Although Cheng Hou is the highest-ranked person in the Cheng family clan.

Hearing this, Cheng Yuguan glanced at Cheng Lang, "Who says I've been wronged, I've had a few fights in Chenghou's mansion, didn't you see that Chenghou saw me yesterday, didn't you dare to come forward casually?"

When Cheng Lang heard the words, he let out a "tow", "You don't have to hide it from me. From the first day you entered the Marquis Mansion, news about you spread all over the capital. What about punishing old servants, being aggressive, not being close to relatives, Being indifferent, asking for a dowry, being selfish and vicious, these words are known to everyone, not to mention eighty to eight years old, at least, anyone who wants to know can find out."

Cheng Yuguan was speechless.Apart from being trapped in the Hou's mansion, she was in the palace, and she didn't even know that rumors about her were already spread all over the sky.

"Is it such an exaggeration?"

Cheng Yuguan couldn't believe it.

Cheng Lang nodded vigorously, "Of course, there are so many aristocratic families in the capital, and there has never been a family like Chenghou's Mansion. Its internal affairs leaked but did not control it, but triumphantly created public opinion. This handwriting can be seen at a glance. It belongs to that woman of the Yang family. The so-called family ugliness is not publicized. Chenghou's mansion is like this. She really thinks that a few bad words about you can ruin your reputation. Little do you know that the people in Beijing are already going to laugh at Chenghou's mansion. gone."

Cheng Lang curled his lips, and then asked Cheng Yuguan, "If you don't say anything else, punish the old servant. Did that old servant bully you? I said at the beginning, let you go to Beijing with me, but if you refuse, go with that old servant. The godmother went on the road, didn’t she suffer? There’s also the dowry demanded, did the Marquis go through with your mother’s dowry? Otherwise, you wouldn’t specifically mention this matter. However, since you want a dowry, what about that thing?”

From these rumors, Cheng Lang could roughly imagine what happened to Cheng Yuguan, so he lost his good impression of the Hou Mansion even more.

At this moment, Cheng Lang looked up and down at Cheng Yuguan, trying to find something good in her.Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to bear the reputation of asking for dowry.

Cheng Yuguan stretched out his hands and shrugged, "Look at my empty hands, you should know the result."

Cheng Lang's face darkened, "The Marquis said that you asked for a dowry, but you didn't give it at all? Why? You are the only daughter of Mrs. Xian, and the dowry is yours as a matter of course. Why don't they give it? You , It’s too honest, yesterday you should sue the queen, or tell your father, and your father will come to the door in person and ask for your dowry back!”

Let Cheng Yuguan carry his reputation, but he doesn't give anything.Cheng Lang was once again shocked by the Hou Fu's offline.

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "When have you seen me willing to suffer? Right now in the capital, I have already relied too much on the queen's aunt. If I trouble the queen with dowry, I don't want to. Mother's things are considered to be temporarily kept by the Houfu. .One day, if I find a chance, I will definitely get it back with interest!"

Cheng Yuguan's mother, Huo Shi, was married to Shili Hongzhuang back then.Her dowry, even a ticklish Yu Ruyi has its origins.

When Cheng Yuguan asked for the dowry, Yang and Cheng Hou only took two boxes of more than sixty things to fool her, and a deed for a stone shop.

But Cheng Yuguan knew very clearly that when the nanny was still there, he once taught Yuguan Kaimeng how to write, and he sighed that Huo's has a set of stationery, from paper, ink, pens and inkstones to Wenwan pen washers. It was a complete set, and there were hundreds of gadgets in that set of stationery alone.

So Yang's taking those sixty or so things was simply fooling and humiliating her.

At that time, Cheng Yuguan knew that the Chenghou Mansion was no longer offline, so it was shameless.

So Cheng Yuguan didn't take any of Huo's dowry, including the shop deed.

One is to let the people in Chenghou Mansion relax their vigilance, and the other is that she doesn't care about those few things.

All she wants is everything.

Instead of being fooled into taking a few things, Cheng Yuguan wanted to make himself stronger first, and then take back his mother's things when he grew up to the point where Cheng Hou and Yang Shi didn't dare to treat her so casually.

Otherwise, she, Cheng Hou and Yang Shi will only fall into endless wrangling.

Also, the No. [-] stone shop in the capital was completely controlled up and down by Mrs. Yang, and it was useless for her to hold the contract.

Cheng Yuguan believed that the stone shop he opened on Zhuque Street in the capital would surpass the one in Chenghou's Mansion in a short time.

When the time comes, Cheng Yuguan will arrogantly throw Yang's teasing back on her face.

Hearing what Cheng Yuguan said, Cheng Lang nodded indifferently, "It's good that you have your own plans, otherwise, when we come back this time, we will entangle a hundred or ten relatives to come to the door together and move all your things out. "

Hearing what Cheng Lang said, Cheng Yuguan couldn't help laughing when he thought of how helpless the Yang family and the old lady were to the Cheng family.

"Don't worry, it won't be too far away."

The convoy walked slowly, and the official road near the capital was spacious and flat, but after passing the Shili Pavilion, small hills began to appear on both sides of the road, and rocks and weeds gradually began to appear on the road.

In summer, the plants grow vigorously. Unless someone takes care of them, they will start to grow wildly after a rain, flooding the road.The official road near the capital is okay, there are many people walking, and if you go further, you may have to walk while opening the road.

"Take out the pole and sweep it on both sides of the road. I'm afraid there will be snakes and insects, and it will be bad if they bite you."

Cheng Yuguan turned around and asked loudly.

"Yes, Miss!"

Everyone in the convoy suddenly agreed, pulled out the pole from the car, and swept the messy plants on both sides.Occasionally, a tree fork grows to the side of the road, and someone will push it away in advance.

Seeing this, Cheng Lang looked at Cheng Yuguan, "You are just being too careful."

Cheng Yuguan shrugged, "Be careful sailing for thousands of years."

Cheng Lang was somewhat disapproving, "We are still near the capital, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. It's not too late to be careful when we get to the deep mountains and wild forests."

These days, Cheng Lang has seen the prosperity of the capital, and he is confident in the people and guards of the capital.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of big men in black jumped out of the tall weeds around the official road, covering their faces in broad daylight.

"!" Cheng Lang was shocked for a moment, and shouted loudly, "Throw away the car and draw out the knife, go!"

Chengjia Village is in the northwest of the capital, where the people have always been tough, and it has been the birthplace of high-quality soldiers since ancient times.

In troubled times, he would pull up a team to follow the Ming Lord, and in peaceful times, he would not be able to change the bravery and ruthlessness in his bones.

The reason why Chengjia Village can gain a foothold in the Northwest is because of blood and bravery.

In the past few years, the fight for water, and later when the business just started to pick up, the fight for the top of the mountain, these are all scenes of blood.So before the men in black could react, the Cheng family grabbed their knives first.

The aura of fearlessness and fear of death rushing towards the face cheered up the people in black.

But after all, the man in black is a person who specializes in such dark things, and he came prepared, adjusted quickly, and began to split up.

Soon the man in black pierced through the group of people in Chengjia Village and pointed at Cheng Yuguan.

At this time, Cheng Lang, who usually looked childish, didn't have the slightest fear. Instead, a sneer appeared on his face, and he drove his horse forward to block Cheng Yuguan, holding the double mace that was hung on the horse's back just now.

"Little sister, it looks like they are here for you."

Cheng Yuguan also tightened the reins and assembled the weapon hanging behind the horse. It was not light weapons like swords and whips commonly used by ordinary women, but a red tasseled spear.

Cheng Yuguan learned Cheng's kung fu, and Cheng's kung fu was the hard work of fighting on the battlefield, so the most common thing for the relatives in Cheng's village was to practice swords.People like Cheng Lang and Cheng Yuguan who had a little spare energy and wealth chose more powerful weapons.

"Be careful, she is not an ordinary woman, she has kung fu!"

The leading man in black reminded.

Whether you have kung fu in your hands is not about talking, but seeing.Apparently, Cheng Yuguan's posture of holding a gun has already made the man in black more vigilant.

"Little sister, let me clean it up for you first, be careful yourself!"

As he said that, Cheng Lang exerted force under his feet and clamped the horse's belly, and the horse had already run away.

Fighting on horseback, the horse must run to gain the condescending bonus.

When Cheng Lang ran out, there was no one standing there, and the place he passed was cleared up in an instant.

However, there were still a few strong men who avoided Cheng Lang's charge and came towards Cheng Yuguan.

The red tasseled spear in Cheng Yuguan's hand trembled, and after a few stabs, he knocked down a few, and one person rushed to Cheng Yuguan under the cover of the people in front.Taking advantage of Cheng Yu's closing gun before he could take it back, he chopped it down with a single knife.Cheng Yuguan took advantage of the situation and lay flat on the horse. Looking back with his gun, a line of blood flew up, and the last person also fell in front of Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Lang had gathered up his horse and walked back now, and it was clear from his calm look that he was not worried at all that Cheng Yuguan would not be able to handle it.

To be able to break out a career in the borderlands of the northwest, the road is not paved by the so-called rules and power, but by fighting and bloodshed as the vanguard, in order to develop and grow step by step.

Cheng Lang came on horseback and walked up to Cheng Yuguan, looking back at the capital with blood in his eyes.

"Little sister, how about it, do you want to kill back?"

The Cheng family didn't swallow their anger, and the one who robbed and killed Cheng Yuguan on the way right now didn't need to think too much about who did it.

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, turned his head and told the convoy, "Stay injured and interrogate the reporter, let's move on, the delivery is important."

Cheng Lang couldn't swallow this breath, but still obeyed Cheng Yuguan, and went on the road.

He knew that sister Yuguan's decision would not be wrong.She said that this business route is the most important, so they just follow suit.

"Pack up and get on the road!"

Cheng Lang shouted.

The convoy continued to move forward, and a figure flashed past in the hiding place behind them. They were tangled for a moment, one of them reported back to the city, and the other followed.
