The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

For three consecutive days, Adu and Chen Jing took turns watching Bai Yuxin's movements, but did not find anything unusual.

Except for occasionally going to other rooms, Bai Yuxin stayed in his room all day and did not go out.

However, the calmer things were, the more Yang Qi felt that there was something fishy going on.

The Emperor's decree for marriage has been issued, and the Bai family will definitely pass the news to Bai Yuxin as quickly as possible.

If Bai Yuxin really came here to worship his ancestors and received the news of the granted marriage, he should have hurried on his way back to the capital to receive the imperial decree. Why would he be like he is now, calm and unhurried, staying in this place where bandits are entrenched for a long time?

If nothing goes wrong here, I'll go with that stinky bastard Han Renyuan!

Bai Yuxin did not take any action, and Yang Qi remained calm, so they lived in peace these few days.

The stepmother prepared a box of books for Yang Qi, all of which were unique copies, treasures that could not be bought even with all the money.

During these few days, Yang Qi finally finished reading all the books one by one. The feeling of having these rare books in hand but not being able to read them all immediately was like the anxiety of being hungry for several meals and finally seeing a whole table of Manchu Han banquet, but being able to only look at it but not eat it.

On the fourth day, Bai Yuxin finally moved.

As soon as the day broke, the waiters and servants in the inn became busy. The cooks in the kitchen and the grooms in the stables were all busy, as if they were afraid that outsiders would not know that they were doing something important.

However, the Bai family has always had many rules, and daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared extremely thoroughly, so it is understandable that they take more time to prepare on weekdays.

Bai Yuxin brought many people with him, so it was too easy to follow this large group of people. There was no need to analyze too much, just follow the wheel tracks to determine the direction in which everyone was moving.

Opening the window slightly, Yang Qi looked at the gradually moving figure of Bai Yuxin in the carriage, frowned, and fell into thought.

I have been reluctant to return to Beijing. The purpose of staying here is to find out what Bai Yuxin’s action is all about.

By now, everyone in the Tianyuan Dynasty who should know about the arranged marriage knows about it. All forces want to see as soon as possible how graceful and elegant the future Crown Princess will be. There are probably no less than five teams eyeing Bai Yuxin right now.

Under the spotlight of so many people, even if Bai Yuxin wanted to do something, he would be powerless.

If I put myself in Bai Yuxin's position, the best solution would be to find a substitute and slip away quietly, just like the trick I used in my trip to Xihu.

"Adu, you go and keep an eye on the Bai family's special kitchen. Chen Jing, you go and keep an eye on the room where the Bai family has lived these days to see if there is anything unusual." If it was really as he imagined, then the real Bai Yuxin must be hiding in a corner of the inn with a few secret guards.

If I was really overthinking it, then Bai Yuxin was now being watched by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people, so things wouldn't be completely out of control.

Adu and Chen Jing can be regarded as the top secret guards around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This kind of covert observation is not a difficult task for them.

At lunchtime, Ah Du quietly appeared in the room and said, "Master, the real Bai Yuxin is in the kitchen, and there are three other people accompanying her. They are all men with high martial arts skills. I dare not get too close."

Although Ah Du's tone remained as calm as usual, only he himself knew the shock and admiration he felt when he saw Bai Yuxin in the kitchen.

The longer Adu stayed with his master, the more he admired him.

The world of the secret guards is cruel, except for life or death, such a survival rule makes them have higher expectations of their masters. Similarly, the world of the secret guards is also simple, as long as they obey, they will be convinced for the rest of their lives.

As expected, after hearing what Ah Du said, Yang Qi smiled in his heart, put the book down, and said, "Pack up your things, leave immediately, and follow them."

The secret guard who was chosen by the Bai family and placed beside Bai Yuxin must be an expert among experts. With such a guard by the side, I have to follow closely.

Sitting in the carriage, Yang Qi felt his eyes were extremely sore and a little painful, so he had to close his eyes and rest for a while.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Yang Qi thought of the money he had spent on betting, and his heart ached. He really was crazy to actually get involved in gambling.

Isn’t Yang Lan’s way of dealing with An Xiaoyi to get him involved in gambling?

With such a tragic precedent, I still dare to gamble. How stupid!

In his previous life, the Crown Prince married Bai Yuxin after taking many factors into consideration, including the Bai family's influence in the court, the Bai family's control over Jiangnan, etc.

Following such a master, one must straighten out one's thoughts and ideas and not make any more foolish moves.

As the frail "Young Master Tan", Chen Jing naturally sat in the carriage with Yang Qi. In this way, even if the whereabouts of the three were discovered by Bai Yuxin, their identities would be covered.

However, Chen Jing has always been a person of few words. If Yang Qi doesn't speak first, Chen Jing will never say a word more.

For a moment, the carriage fell into silence, but the sound of the wheels hitting the stones outside made people feel a little irritated.

I don't know how many hours have passed. Yang Qi closed his eyes and asked, "How long has it been?"

Chen Jing reacted very quickly: "It's almost two hours." As a secret guard, even if he had no tools with him, he was extremely sensitive to the passage of time.

Lifting the curtain, Yang Qi looked at the setting sun and said, "It's almost dark now. Are these people going to travel at night?"

Leaving the main force means less conditions of having everything provided for you. I didn't expect Bai Yuxin to be so able to endure hardship.

After the experiences of the past few days, Yang Qi finally felt the true hardship of running around. If he had not focused on developing his physical strength since childhood and had been able to eat meat, he would not have been able to hold on.

The most basic requirement for long-term travel is to have a healthy body and good endurance.

At present, Chen Jing knew nothing about the Bai family's actions and purpose, so she did not dare to speak rashly: "Miss, traveling in the dark is not a good thing for us."

The group is still in the bandits' territory. If they travel at night and are met by the bandits, they will be too big a target and arouse their suspicion. It will be difficult to deal with the situation next.

Yang Qi knew what Chen Jing meant, but the most urgent task now was to follow Bai Yuxin and see what she would do next. As for the danger of being exposed, it was still within the range that could be taken.
