Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain
Chapter 224 Arrive in the capital
Ten days' journey is enough for the convoy to reach the capital.
There were constant turmoil along the way, the bandits who slipped through the net alone were beheaded and killed a total of six to seventy people, and the guards who followed Xie Yan were all dead soldiers, and these situations have long been commonplace.
However, Jin Huan and a few of his buddies were stupefied by the turmoil along the way. They thought that being caught up by the horse bandits was the biggest crisis, but they never thought that the next few crises would become more dangerous each time.
Not far away is the gate of the capital city, Jin Huan consciously troubled Xie Yan all the way, especially since there was a county magistrate sitting in the car, he intentionally made good etiquette, so he walked cautiously to Yue Rong's side.
"Guard Yue." Jin Huan was a little uneasy, and forced a smile at Yue Rong, "I want to prepare a gift for the county magistrate and Mr. Xie, you are Mr. Xie's confidant, do you know Mr. Xie's preferences? "
"How can the master let me know about his preferences?" Yue Rong waved his hands impatiently, "Master Jin, if you have anything to say, just tell the master, I am just a small guard."
That is to say, but once Jin Huan thought of Xie Yan's cold face, he stopped involuntarily.
"But……"
"Why hesitate?" Yue Rong pushed Jin Huan, not allowing Jin Huan to refuse, and pushed him to the carriage that Xie Yan and Gu Ning were riding in.
"Master, Master Jin has something to tell you."
As soon as the car curtain was lifted, the first thing Jin Huan saw was a beautiful face.
Although the woman sitting next to Xie Yan did not speak, her bright and scorching face was an existence that no one could ignore.
However, just as Jin Huan took a look, he was blocked by someone.
Seeing Xie Yan, his heart trembled, and he said cautiously: "Mr. Xie, the capital has arrived. In order to thank you for your kindness, I am willing to give half of my family wealth."
Xie Yanjun frowned slightly, and Jin Huan added cautiously: "If you think it's too little, after I settle the clerk's wages, the rest..."
"No need." Xie Yan raised his hand, stopping Jin Huan's next words, "I'm not short of money, I just need a promise from you."
Hearing this, Jin Huan raised his head in surprise.
"When you resell that unphased exotic ginseng, the buyer must obtain my permission."
Xie Yan spoke indifferently, leaving Jin Huan in a daze for a long time: "It's just this request?"
"That's right." Xie Yan nodded slightly, "If Master Jin agrees, then we'll be done."
"No, no, no!" Jin Huan came back to his senses, waved his hands quickly, and immediately rejected Xie Yan's proposal, "You have helped me a lot along the way, and you have saved me from danger over and over again. This request counts. Nothing, how can I offset your kindness to me?"
"It's useless if I want this Phaseless Ginseng, why don't I give it to you directly."
Phaseless Strange Ginseng is a rare treasure in the world. Many people have heard of its reputation, but very few people have seen its true face. Jin Huan also got it by chance. What he values is the life of his buddy, not the life of this plant. It is not a very useful medicinal material for him.
He understands the reason why a common man is not guilty of conceiving a jade but he is guilty of it. He is powerless to protect this rare ginseng outside the pass, even if it is placed in the capital.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, took out the palm-sized box hidden in his waist, and handed it to Xie Yan.
"Mr. Xie, this is the phaseless ginseng we got." Jin Huan lowered his voice, "Just take it and use it!"
But Xie Yan's next move was beyond Jin Huan's expectation.
"No need." Xie Yan pushed the box back to Jin Huan, "Wu Xiang Qi Ginseng must be in your hands."
Jin Huan is a smart person, and Dang even realized what Xie Yan wanted to do: "Do you want to spread the news that Wuxiangqiginseng is in my hands? And then screen the sellers from it?"
Seeing Xie Yan nodding his head, Jin Huan agreed without hesitation: "Since Mr. Xie can use me, I will definitely do my best!"
"Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you, and I will never put you in danger." Xie Yan's expression suddenly became solemn, "And what you have to do is to spread the news that Wuxiang Qishen is in your hands , the wider the better."
Seeing Xie Yan's concern about this matter, Jin Huan calmed down and responded repeatedly.
Gu Ning sat on the side, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two, and was extraordinarily quiet.
Xie Yan lowered his eyes and suppressed the strangeness in his heart.
A corner of the car curtain was lifted by the wind, revealing the magnificent city gate.
The capital is here!
……
The carriage drove into the city in a low-key manner, and all the guards were divided into several groups, inconspicuous among the crowd, and they arrived at Pei's mansion smoothly.
"The county lord is back!"
As soon as the carriage stopped at Pei's residence, the butler's excited voice was heard.
Gu Ning lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the butler with a smile: "Butler Zheng, I'm back! Is everything in the mansion all right?"
"All good! All good!" Zheng Butler laughed, "The princess is looking forward to your return!"
Gu Ning nodded, and quickly jumped out of the carriage, as if there was a beast chasing after him.
Seeing her entering the inner courtyard, Xie Yan slowly got off the carriage.
Butler Zheng was stunned: "Master Xie is there?"
"This journey is difficult and dangerous, so I can only travel lightly. I have no choice but to use the same carriage as the county lord." Xie Yan's face remained unchanged, and he said solemnly, "I have something important to report to the general. I don't know where the general is now?"
"Oh!" Zheng Butler hastily cupped his hands in salute, "Thank you, sir."
Gu Ning walked briskly back to the inner courtyard, only to feel that her dull mood was relieved at this moment, she was smiling, and her eyes were even more starry.
Seeing this, Chunyu secretly sighed in her heart.
It seems that the relationship between the county head and Mr. Xie is not optimistic.
Gu Ning didn't know what Chunyu was thinking, after she walked into the inner courtyard quickly, she saw the eldest princess who was hurriedly rushing out.
"Grandma!"
Gu Ning held up the hem of the skirt, like a fluttering butterfly, running towards the eldest princess.
She was so happy that the Eldest Princess' serious face couldn't help being stained with a deep smile: "Is this journey going smoothly?"
"It's going well." Gu Ning pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily, "The horse bandits and those scattered bandits I met on the road were all killed by the guards on the spot, and nothing major happened."
When the princess was young, she led troops to fight. She was a well-known female general, let alone a horse bandit. She had fought against even the most brutal Hun cavalry.
However, after hearing Gu Ning's words, she still panicked: "Horse bandit? How could there be a horse bandit in the pass?"
"They came after Jin Huan." Gu Ning took the arm of the eldest princess and explained one by one, "Jin Huan is a merchant we met on the road. He came back from the Western Regions and brought a lot of gold and silver. Jewelry, and most importantly, he also brought a genus of rare ginseng, which attracted those horse bandits to sneak into the pass to chase and kill him even at the risk of their lives."
"Phaseless ginseng?" The eldest princess was startled at first, then frowned, "What does the horse bandit want Wuxiang ginseng? This group of horse bandits is unusual."
Gu Ning looked around, took the eldest princess to a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "I heard from Xie Yan's analysis, the reason why these horse bandits want to have nothing to do with each other may have something to do with the King of the Huns."
After hearing the words, a sharp light flashed in the eldest princess' eyes.
"It makes sense." She pondered for a moment, then took Gu Ning's hand, and explained word by word, "You can't tell anyone else about this."
"Grandmother, don't worry!" Gu Ning shook the eldest princess's sleeve, "I didn't hear anything!"
"Good boy." The eldest princess rubbed Gu Ning's head, her eyes suddenly narrowed, "On this journey, you and Xie Yan..."
"Grandmother!" Gu Ning stomped his feet, not daring to look at the Eldest Princess at all.
She can't say that she and Xie Yan are already cooked rice.
It's just that Gu Ning kept his mouth tightly shut, but the eldest princess could still see the clue from the two blushes on her face.
The Eldest Princess smiled meaningfully, without saying anything.
Facing the eyes of the eldest princess, Gu Ning simply turned his head away: "If you say one more word on this matter, I will go back!"
"Okay, okay!" The eldest princess smiled dotingly, and patted Gu Ning's head, "I won't talk about it, just tell me what you have seen and heard these days."
Hearing this, Gu Ning's face returned to normal.
She cleared her throat, and vividly narrated the events of the past month: "When we first arrived in Yuezhou, we realized that something was wrong. Fortunately, Chu Shiling was there. We found them, but the Jiang family was too cautious, even if we wiped out Fang Chenghai and Fang Chengyu, we couldn't hurt them at all."
The Eldest Princess looked at her with loving eyes, and sighed, "Ning'er has really grown up."
Before Gu Ning could speak, she said again: "Don't worry, the Jiang family's time is numbered."
Gu Ning blinked his eyes, and immediately grabbed the eldest princess's arm: "Grandmother, please tell me carefully! I will be on guard against the Jiang family from now on!"
"Okay." The eldest princess scratched her nose and said softly, "You should have heard that the emperor is critically ill. Now the emperor has suspected that he is in love with the Jiang family and the third prince, and the second prince is also on his way back to Beijing. For the sake of the second prince, the family will never let the Jiang family go. They have given them a reason for the matter of the Fang family. Unsurprisingly, there will be a censor mentioning the relationship between the Fang family and the Jiang family in the court tomorrow. relation."
"I see!" Gu Ning patted the stone table heavily, his palms were red, but the pain was nothing compared to her excitement at the moment.
For her, the most important thing in the ultimate goal is to let the Jiang family fall, and they will no longer be able to help Chu Yunyi.
The eldest princess felt distressed and covered Gu Ning's hand, and cursed angrily: "I don't know how to be lighter for such a big person!"
The grandfather and grandson were talking, but they saw Steward Zheng walking in in a hurry.
"Princess! Princess!" Steward Zheng was out of breath, and it was very difficult for him to say a complete sentence, "Someone is coming from the palace, and they say they want to invite the county lord to enter the palace!"
There were constant turmoil along the way, the bandits who slipped through the net alone were beheaded and killed a total of six to seventy people, and the guards who followed Xie Yan were all dead soldiers, and these situations have long been commonplace.
However, Jin Huan and a few of his buddies were stupefied by the turmoil along the way. They thought that being caught up by the horse bandits was the biggest crisis, but they never thought that the next few crises would become more dangerous each time.
