Chapter 124 Leading Him Away
Yuan Qing relaxed his brows upon hearing this, "My father wrote to me a few days ago, saying that the capital city needs it urgently.
The production of high-quality tea in Jiangzhou this year is not high, and most of the inventory has been affected by moisture and cannot be sold, so they had to turn their attention to Yuzhou.
Fortunately, Yuzhou has not received the news yet. If they knew about the predicament of the Lou family this time, they would have occupied it for themselves long ago, and would not have been able to give it to us to decide. "
Lou Haiping nodded and said, "I was worried about this before, so I decided to come to Yuzhou in advance.
Tobacco and tea are the foundation of our Lou family. We cannot watch it fall into the hands of others. Only when the Lou family's position is stable can we help your father. "
……
Since that day, Gao Mu found another excuse to meet with Yuan Qing.
Lou Haiping felt that Gao Mu was a man of ulterior motives and did not want Yuan Qing to follow him out again.
But he was busy with his business and had no time to watch her in person, so he sent two people to guard the door and not let her leave.
Gao Mu came several more times, but was blocked each time.
He felt anxious and vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't put his finger on why, so he could only turn around and go back home.
Seeing him come back, the secret guard handed him a bamboo tube with the word "Ping" engraved on it.
The letter sent from Pingjin Prefecture was an urgent one.
Gao Mu read the letter attentively, and finally his eyes fell on the two names mentioned in the letter——
Lu Zhao, Gong Bin.
These two people are really haunting. Why are they everywhere?
He casually handed the letter to the secret guard, seemingly not taking the matter seriously, "They are just two boys, is it necessary for me to go?"
The secret guard lowered his head even more. He did not answer directly, but said: "The master does not like people who make decisions on their own, even you."
This means that it cannot be violated.
Thinking of that autocratic old man, Gao Mu felt uncomfortable all over, but there was an unbreakable relationship between them and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
He closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Go and call those hall masters. I'll take care of things here and leave."
Yuzhou is the first place to conduct the experiment, and they have been planning here for many years.
In fact, as long as the people below do their job according to the rules, it doesn’t matter whether Gao Mu is there or not.
However, the plan to pacify Jin Mansion has just started. If someone familiar takes over, the process will be much faster.
At the same time, Yuan Qing was waiting for news in the room. She was bored, so she leaned her arms on the table and stared at the window pane.
As evening approached, the person outside the door brought in the meal on time.
Yuan Qing didn't even look at it and said directly: "I don't have an appetite, just leave it there."
"How can you not eat it? The master of the family has specifically told you to eat it."
After hearing this, Yuan Qing felt that the voice of the person who delivered food today sounded so familiar.
She looked up and saw that it was indeed Mu Xiaoxiao's face that she had been thinking about day and night.
Behind her was a girl dressed in men's clothing, with her head lowered, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Good fellow, you're finally here," Yuan Qing took the lunch box from Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, grabbed her hand and said, "I've been waiting for you to rescue me."
"You are talking nonsense again, aren't you?" Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Master, please change her clothes quickly. Time is urgent and we can't waste a moment."
Although I'm only going to be out for half a day, I still have to make things clear.
While changing her clothes, Yuan Qing said to the girl who replaced her, "You just need to stay in the room, and the meals will be delivered on time.
If someone avoids the guards and enters the room, do not talk to him, shout for help, or try to trick him. It is up to you to decide.
Also, if you are held hostage, take the bell I have hidden under your pillow and ring it at the critical moment, and someone will come to rescue you."
The girl nodded and imitated Yuan Qing's voice and said, "I understand."
Even though I already knew about her ability to imitate voices, it was still amazing to hear it in person.
What's more, this girl met her for the first time today, and she imitated her so well after just hearing a few words.
Wow, she really deserves to be called Madam Cheng, the “Queen of All Sounds”.
Her imitation is not limited to gender or species. With the help of tools, she can imitate all kinds of sounds vividly.
This was also called "ventriloquism" in ancient times.
It’s a pity that we couldn’t poach him.
Yuan Qing thought about it but still didn't give up, so he asked Madam Cheng again: "Are you really not considering coming to my place?"
Madam Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her original voice: "My dear, you should give up this thought. Sister Hua and I have been friends since childhood, and later we have sacrificed our lives for each other. Even ten thousand gold coins cannot buy it back."
This is the same flower girl tied together.
Hua Niang is Lu Zhao's woman, and Lu Zhao is in cahoots with her. It seems a little immoral to try to steal her away behind his back.
Yuan Qing felt inexplicably guilty.
She and Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the restaurant where they had ordered the food, picked a place to sit down, and pretended to be taking a break to chat.
"Any news from Luojia Village? Is Gao Mu gone?"
We have been in Yuzhou for four or five days, and Jiangzhou cannot hold out for much longer.
Once the news of Fang Yue'e's death spreads, people here will probably react immediately and quickly move away and hide.
It will be extremely difficult to find them again in the future.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked around, led her to the backyard, and whispered, "Master, don't worry, most of them have successfully sneaked in, and they are keeping a close eye on them.
Gao Mu received the news from Pingjin Mansion, met a few people and left. I estimate that he should be close to the city gate by now, so I sent someone to follow him. "
"We must keep a close eye on those people he has met. They will be very useful." Yuan Qing took out the token and handed it to her. "According to the original plan, notify them to take action immediately."
Gao Mu rode out of the city on horseback. When he reached the city gate, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The uneasiness that he had previously forcibly suppressed now surged up like a tide.
He looked back at the city wall, and after thinking it over again and again, he decided to turn his horse around and return to the city.
There were quite a few people following him, about ten or so.
It would be more accurate to say that we are guarding against him giving up halfway rather than following him.
None of these people obeyed his orders.
Seeing that Gao Mu did not follow his master's rules, they looked at each other, cracked their whips and chased the galloping figure in front.
Gao Mu had been pampered since childhood. Even though he practiced martial arts, he was no match for these warriors who were skilled in riding. He was blocked by them before he had run for long.
He pulled the reins hastily, his voice full of impatience, "Get out of the way!"
"The master said that we must send you back to Pingjin Mansion safely. This is our duty. Please don't make things difficult for us."
As for the rest, they don’t know and can’t control it.
"I told you to get out of my way!" Gao Mu's horse also seemed impatient, stamping its hooves non-stop. "If something goes wrong in Yuzhou, can you afford it?"
