"Qin, when did you come here?" An Ran looked at An Qin and said.

An Qin nodded and said, "Dad, I have heard what you said just now."

"Don't worry, Qin. If you don't agree with it, I will think about another way." An Ran looked at An Qin and said.

An Qin shook her head, "Dad, it's OK. As Mr. Zhao said, Infanta Qingcheng doesn't have much power. Even if she is Duke of Mu's daughter, I am not worse than her. I will be the master of the mansion of Marquis Shuo."

An Qin said with pride because she was confident about her appearance and she didn't believe Marquis Shuo wouldn't love her. It was just a matter of time.

An Ran heard what An Qin said, paused for a while and nodded, "OK. As long as you are happy."

"Dad." An Qin held An Ran's hand, leaned her head on her shoulder and smiled.

"When will you leave for Dongling, My Lord?" Zhao Ji asked again.

An Ran thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning."

"OK. I will ask someone to make preparations!" Zhao Ji curtsied and turned back to leave.

Mo Li, dressed up as the guard, heard what they said and left there before they noticed him.

When he left there safely, Mo Li took off the clothes of guards in an alley and put on his own clothes. Then he looked around at the gate of the alley and walked out of it.

He found a swift horse and rushed to Jing City!

The next day

The King of Liao City and his daughter An Qin got into the carriage and headed to Jing City.

Yesterday the head of the subordinates sent by Imperial Concubine Xiao stared at the gate of the old man's house, but he only saw the old man and found nothing strange.

He frowned and wondered whether he was wrong.

Having observed it for a while, he gave up. After searching for one night and fighting against the wolves, he was worn out, so he turned back to the inn.

Xu Qing hurried to get up in the morning and woke up another four men. After they got dressed up, Xu Qing took out some money and put it under the pillow.

If he gave the money directly to the old man, the old man would not receive it.

Then they walked out of the room and the old man had prepared the breakfast.

"You get up." The old man obviously felt better than yesterday.

Xu Qing replied with a smile, "Today morning, we will leave here. Thanks for your entertainment in these two days."

"Never mind."

The old man waved his hand and said.

After having breakfast, they said goodbye to the old man!

When they walked out of the house, one of them said to Xu Qing, "Mr. Xu, we don't have the horse and carriage. There is still some distance from Jiandu. What can we do?"

"Do you have money left?" Xu Qing asked the four men.

The four men took out their money, "Mr. Xu, just a little money was left. All our money is in the carriage."

"OK, enough. You two take the money to buy a carriage." Xu Qing looked at it, pointed at two of them and said.

Two men heard it and frowned, "Mr. Xu, we have too many people. I am afraid that a carriage can't..."

"Three of you can sit in the carriage and one of you will ride the horse." Xu Qing knew what they wanted to say, so he interrupted them.

One of them said, "Mr. Xu, I am afraid that we won't have money for meals if we buy the carriage."

"When we go past the forest, we can try to look for our carriage. If only we can find it. If not, we can find another way." Xu Qing lowered his eyes and said.

They heard it and nodded.

"Mr. Xu, then we will go to the town and buy the carriage first." The two men said.

Xu Qing nodded, "OK, we three will walk to the forest first. After you buy it, we will meet in the forest."

"OK." The two men replied and left.

Xu Qing said to them, "Let's leave here quickly."

At the same time, they walked to the forest.

The people sent by Prime Minister Lan were observing them and considered Xu Qing was truly capable because he could evade being searched by the people sent by Imperial Concubine Xiao.

It was not far from Jiandu. The people sent by Imperial Concubine Xiao would try their best to kill Xu Qing, so they needed to be more alert.

The head of them turned back and said to other people, "The men who were seriously injured yesterday can stay in the town to get treatment. When you get better, you can catch up with us. The other men will go with me. The people sent by Imperial Concubine Xiao will try their best to kill Xu Qing."

"Yes, sir." The rest of them replied.

Besides the injured men, the rest of them followed their head to the forest.

Xu Qing and another two men went to the place where wolves attacked them. Some hungry wolves were lying on the ground and their bodies were full of wounds. The floor was covered with dry and brown blood. Seeing this, they could imagine how these men fought against the wolves.

Xu Qing remembered that the horse was frightened that night and ran west, so he said, "Let's go there to look for it."

At the same time, they ran to the place where the horse had been that night. The big trees in the forest were so thick that the sun could hardly be seen, so the land was moist. After a few minutes, they found the trails of the wheels of the carriage and the horse.

They followed the trails to the forest.

After walking for a while, one of them pointed to the front, "Mr. Xu, the carriage is over there."

Xu Qing looked at the direction the man pointed at.

He sighed with relief and hurried to walk forward.

The carriage was under the tree, part of which was broken and one wheel of which was knocked off. Perhaps the horse was frightened to run casually in the forest. Then it knocked on the tree and took off the reins, so the carriage was stopped by the big tree.

However, the horse was missing.

They walked there and were about to turn the carriage.

"One, two, three. Push together." Xu Qing put his hand on the top of the carriage and said to another two men.

The two men nodded.

Then Xu Qing shouted, "One, two, three."

They tried their best to push the carriage.

Suddenly, with the sound of a bang, the carriage was turned.

Because one wheel was broken, the carriage was slanting.

One of them opened the curtain and sighed with relief, "Mr. Xu, our packages are still in the carriage."

They went into the carriage and took out the package.

Then Xu Qing nodded. After they took the package back, they searched the forest for a while to look for the horse.

On a mound, they found the trail of the horse, but the horse had fallen down. They considered that the horse fell down accidentally that night.

Xu Qing and his followers looked down from the mound and found that the horse was lying there motionlessly. They thought the horse must be seriously injured after it fell down from the mound.

One of them went down from one side to check it.

Walking in front of the horse, he bent down to pat the horse's belly lightly, but the horse was still motionless and it closed its dull eyes slightly.

Then he found a pool of blood under its belly. Perhaps the horse's belly was hurt by the branch when it fell down. Plus, it hadn't eaten for a few days, so it was weak. Possibly it would not live long.

Then the man climbed up and walked in front of Xu Qing, "Mr. Xu, its foreleg and its belly were hurt by the branch when it fell down. Possibly it will not survive."

"OK, let's go back first. Perhaps they have been back and everything is done. We can wait outside the forest and buy a horse when we reach the town." Xu Qing glanced at the horse under the mound and said.

Meanwhile, he turned back and walked back.

Unexpectedly, they met a horse eating grass on their way back.

The other two men hurried forward to pull the rein. It was the horse that ran away that night.

When they returned outside the forest, they found the other two men hadn't come.

Xu Qing frowned because they should have come. But they didn't appear.

"Mr. Xu, shall I go to find them?" One of them said.

Xu Qing thought for a while and considered those people would not be so bold to attack them in the small town in the daytime. Thinking of this, Xu Qing said, "Wait for a while."

The two men nodded.

Just after a while, one of them pointed to the front, "Mr. Xu, they are coming."

Xu Qing hurried to raise his head and saw two men riding the carriage here.

When they rode in front of Xu Qing, one of them pulled the rein slightly, "Stop——"

Then the two jumped off the carriage, "Mr. Xu, we can just buy this carriage because of the limited money."

Xu Qing looked at the carriage and found it too small and shabby, but it was better than none.

Xu Qing nodded, "You ride the carriage. You two sit in the carriage. And you ride the horse that we found just now. Let's move on quickly. Before evening, we must reach the next town. There should be no more accidents."

Meanwhile, Xu Qing got into the carriage first.

"Yes, Mr. Xu." They replied and did as Xu Qing said.

They walked into the forest and hurried to Jiandu.

In Dongling

After three days, today was the day that Yang Zijin returned home according to the wedding customs.

Yang Zijin lay on the bed and stretched herself. Then she turned over and kissed Shuo Ling's face.

Shuo Ling opened his eyes and looked at Yang Zijin with love, "What's the matter? Wasn't it enough yesterday?"

"Today, I need to return my home according to the wedding customs. Are you free to accompany me?" Yang Zijin gave Shuo Ling a stare and put her finger on Shuo Ling's chest.

Shuo Ling hugged Yang Zijin and said, "Today, I have something to deal with. I am afraid..."

"Couldn't you delay it?" Hearing that, Yang Zijin was unhappy and asked.
