The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 54
The journey back to Kyoto is already long, not to mention the dangerous journey to escort Zheng Pin back to the capital.

Qin Ruizhi really needed a handy weapon. She only had a knife made of rotten iron in her hand, so she stopped being modest and accepted the pair of alphabet swords.

In addition to Gao Zhiying's alphabet sword - Qing Shuo, Aunt Qiu also gave Qin Ruizhi her accustomed long whip.

Qin Ruizhi was not used to using whips, but she couldn't resist Aunt Qiu's enthusiasm, so she accepted Aunt Qiu's whip.

So she hung a long whip on her waist, carried a light shuttle sword on her back, held the knife in her hand, and rode on the horse. The carriage she wanted from Pei Mansion was given to Zheng Pin.

In order to facilitate their care, Qin Qingyue and Zheng Pin rode in a carriage together and met the twenty guards borrowed by the Pei family at the gate of the city. The group set off for the capital in a mighty manner.

Because Zheng Pin was seriously injured and should not be bumpy, he walked very slowly. It took him half a day to leave Puzhou.

When it got dark, I happened to reach Diwhirlpool Ridge, which I didn't care about. There was no village in front of me or a store in back, so I camped on the spot.

The guards of the Pei family were divided into two groups, with ten people in each group. One group was responsible for perimeter security, and the other group was responsible for cooking.

Qin Qingyue brought a small casserole and boiled medicine for Zheng Pin.

Qin Ruizhi dismounted and walked to a shallow depression, where the real Qin Ruizhi was dragged from the carriage, slashed several times and strangled.

And it was here that she became Qin Ruizhi and was lucky enough to survive until now.

The bloodstains have long been washed away by the rain, and the original axle marks have long been smoothed away by the soil.

However, some things have passed, but it does not mean that they have really passed.

Those who have committed crimes here should all go to hell.

Several guards who participated in the ambush at Whirlpool Ridge have been imprisoned and awaiting sentencing. The leader, Guard Lin, accompanied Yan Yingzhu to Beijing. His return to Beijing this time will cost him his life.

As for the culprit, Mrs. Banquet Sun Xiuyang, she will definitely make her pay with blood.

Qin Ruizhi held her hands tightly, completely unaware of Qin Qingyue who was approaching quietly. She was so distracted that she broke out in a cold sweat. She turned around and drew her sword towards him.

When the tip of the knife was pointed at his face, Qin Qingyue was very calm and did not dodge, "Sister, you are too cautious. I just want to give you something to eat. Here you go, steamed buns, put them on the pot where the medicine is boiled and heat them up. When it’s hot, eat it while it’s hot.”

Qin Ruizhi sheathed her knife, took the steamed bun, and ate it slowly. The hot steamed bun was soft and soft, much more delicious than the hard one.

Suddenly, Qin Qing got closer to Qin Ruizhi, leaned into her ear and said mysteriously: "Sister, I will get Zheng Pin up from the carriage later. You sleep in the carriage at night, and we sleep outside. I live closer to the carriage, so I can protect you better." you."

"no need."

Qin Ruizhi didn't mind sleeping in the open air. No matter how hard the days were, it didn't matter if she squinted in the wild all night.

"No, sister, you are a girl, and you are as beautiful as a fairy. Look at those men, they are all wolves with evil intentions. How can I rest assured that you are outside?"

Qin Qingyue said seriously.

"..."

Qin Ruizhi responded in silence, finished the steamed buns slowly, and then walked to the carriage. Qin Qingyue thought that his sister had heard what he said and adopted his opinion.

So he walked towards the carriage boldly and was about to scold Zheng Pin and told him to get out of the carriage.

Before the words were spoken, Qin Ruizhi grabbed the car body and turned it over with force. A graceful figure crossed over, and the person got on the roof of the car, took off the two swords from the waist, and then lay down comfortably.

The two swords are at the side and the knife is in the hand.

There is also a group of guards patrolling under the carriage at any time.

Qin Ruizhi slept peacefully.At dawn, Qin Ruizhi got off the roof of the car.

As soon as they landed, the guards who were patrolling in the second half of the night saw what was happening, so they woke up their companions, packed up the pots and stoves, packed their luggage, and set off.

Qin Ruizhi took the lead and maintained the previous formation.

One group of guards was in front of the carriage, and another group of guards was behind the carriage, protecting the carriage and Zheng Pin and Qin Qingyue who were sitting in the carriage.

In this way, after walking and resting, I would stay in an inn on the way, and if there was no inn, I would sleep outside.

Along the way, I followed the route guided by Qin Qingyue. Four days passed in a flash, and everything was uneventful along the way.

But Qin Ruizhi still dared not relax and remained vigilant at all times.

On the fifth day of the journey, we passed by the boundary of Chongzhou.

Qin Qingyue opened the car curtain and called his sister forward.

When Qin Ruizhi heard it, he turned the carriage around, walked to the carriage, slowed down, and kept pace with the carriage.

Qin Qingyue said: "Sister, this is Chongzhou. If you hurry up, you can enter the city tonight. Brothers, it is too hard to sleep in the open all the way. Let's enter the city and find a good inn to stay."

"no……"

Before Qin Ruizhi could express his opinion, he encountered fierce opposition from Zheng Pin.

There were more than 20 people in their group, and their journey into the city was so vast that they easily became targets.

What's more, with the tragedy of the Puzhou Gao family ahead, Zheng Pin would never dare to enter the city. "We can't enter the city. It's too dangerous to enter the city. It's safer to find a remote place to camp on the spot."

Qin Ruizhi glanced at Zheng Pin, with disdain on her face, "Mr. Zheng, you are sitting in a carriage and enjoying yourself while the guards sleep in the open air and have to be vigilant at all times. You are quite comfortable yourself and don't care about the life or death of others. However, entering the city is not the same. It’s not a good idea. Why not try your luck on the road and see if there is an inn or country farm where you can stay for one night. What do you think?”

Qin Qingyue had no objection, "Okay, just listen to my sister. I also feel sorry for my sister. I've been sleeping in the open and wind all the way, and I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."

Zheng Pin had no reason to object. As long as he didn't enter the city, everything would be easy.

Later, Qin Ruizhi told the other guards the news, and started to pay attention to the farms and inns along the way.

When it got dark, I met an inn on the road outside the city. Four large lanterns were lit in front of the inn. The red light was so dazzling that I could see it from a long distance away.

"There is an inn there."

Qin Ruizhi relayed the news to everyone, "We will stay here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

Afterwards, the group went to stay at the inn.

As soon as I reached the door of the inn, a boy came out to greet the guest, "Dear guest, please come inside."

The boy, wearing green linen clothes and with enthusiastic facial features, squeezed together, led Qin Ruizhi's horse and guided everyone into the courtyard. After everyone dismounted, he called other companions to lead the group's horses to the stables.

In the inn, the boy came up to him again, "Dear guests, are you going to travel a long way? Do you want to feed the horse some grain and grass? Five taels of silver a time. Do you want to feed it?"

"Five taels of silver?"

At that time, Zheng Pin was standing in front of Qin Qingyue, blocking Qin Qingyue's way. Qin Qingyue pushed Zheng Pin away and said, "Are you an inn or a black shop? It costs five taels of silver to feed a horse. Then I will order some dishes. , feeding so many people, you can’t afford it even with 100 taels of silver, right? Forget it, I can’t live in it anymore, let’s consider living in a separate shop.”
