Chapter 367 Going to Beijing
“The ancient road is long and thick with fallen leaves, and the small carriage slowly carries the spring and autumn.”
“The yellow dust is rolling and dancing with the wind, and the sound of wheels is accompanied by the water flow.”
"The twilight is getting thicker and I am far away, and the setting sun half covers the old mountain top."
"Who knows what I mean at this time, sitting alone in the carriage looking at the distant building..."
Not far from the official road, there is a small lake with carriages parked beside it.
A group of scholars on their autumn outing were laughing and joking. One of them shouted a poem he had just composed in front of the setting sun, causing his classmates to applaud loudly.
On the official road, a carriage passed slowly, pressing over the fallen leaves everywhere. The curtains were opened, and Fu Qingzhou poked his head out.
“Good poems, good poems.”
He smiled and sighed: “There are many talented people around the capital. I wonder if my brother-in-law’s talent will shine here too?”< br>
"Stop sighing!" Qiu Chan's shout suddenly came from the carriage: "It's your turn!"
"Oh oh..."
Fu Qingzhou retracted his head into the carriage. , fiercely threw out the cards in his hand: "Pair five!"
Qiu Chan laughed loudly: "Well done! Ding Gou!"
Tang Jiao glanced at her sitting next to her. He glanced at her: "No."
The three people in the carriage each held a stack of "playing cards" in their hands...
Of course, this was made by Fu Qingzhou because he felt bored on the road.
At first, Qiu Chan and Tang Jiao naturally didn't understand what "Ding Gou", "preserved egg" and "Old K" were, but they learned it quickly and it didn't take long for them to learn it. Take full control.
So on the way from Beijing, the three of them stayed in the carriage every day, fighting against the landlord.
After the Qianlong Hundred Heroes Conference, it was time for Fu Qingzhou to go to Beijing - Tang Jiao wanted to overturn the case for his father, so of course he accompanied him all the way. As for Qiu Chan, she had already made bold words, "You will die with me." I couldn't shake him off, so I happened to become a poker partner.
"Three sixes!"
Qiu Chan's eyes flashed and she suddenly threw out three cards.
Tang Jiao shook her head and said no.
Fu Qingzhou grinned: "I'm just waiting for your hand...three tens!"
"You are stupid!" In his mind, the smoker cursed: "You didn't count. Oh, Qiu Chan has a bomb! If you throw three tens now, she will definitely blow you up!”
"What do three tens count?"
Sure enough, Qiu Chan clicked her tongue at this moment and pulled out four cards with her right hand: "I'll blow you up! Four bombs!"
Fu Qingzhou wailed, He suddenly covered his face.
But at this moment, Tang Jiao silently unfolded the four cards in her hand and placed them on the table in front of her: "Blow you up, four old kings."
"!! ! ”
Qiu Chan was furious: "Tang Jiao! We are from the same family! He is the landlord! You are crazy!"
"Hee hee." Tang Jiao winked at her: "My eldest brother and I are just We are a family, you are not.”
“You girl! What did you say suddenly?”
Qiu Chan threw the cards in her hand and said, “Let’s see what I do. You!"
Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and silently shrank to a corner of the carriage.
Of course, Qiu Chan didn't really want to fight with Tang Jiao. Instead, the two girls tickled each other and laughed and laughed. During this period of time together, they seemed to be bickering every day, but in fact they had a close relationship. Well, they often whisper to Fu Qingzhou without telling her, and they often make fights.
Fu Qingzhou doesn’t understand the relationship between women. Sometimes these two girls bicker and fight like they’re about to fight, and sometimes they’re as close as a pair of sisters... I don’t understand, I really don’t understand. .
"Oh, what a pity..." Yan Gui sighed: "The card Qiu Chan had just now must be good, she can win a big one."
Fu Qingzhou was defeated: "This is the point "Mr., Miss."
At this moment, the driver's shout came from outside the carriage: "Xiqing Town is ahead, should we stop for a while?"
Fu Qingzhou moved past the two women who were "scuffled" and walked away from the carriage. His head stuck out from the car door curtain: "Xiqing Town? How far is it from the capital?"
"It's not far, only a dozen miles away."
The driver responded: "But It's getting dark, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter Beijing due to the curfew and will be stopped outside the city gate."
Fu Qingzhou raised his head and looked at the sky.
The setting sun is like blood, staining the mountains red.
"In that case, let's rest in the town for one night." He said: "Find a better inn and feed the horses better."
The coachman smiled and raised his whip: "Okay!"
After leaving Luoyi, Fu Qingzhou bought a carriage and hired a coachman - after all, the bonus of Baijie alone was one thousand taels, and now he had enough money very.
This coachman is not simple either. He was recommended by the disciples of the Wulin League to "apply for the job".
Of course, Fu Qingzhou just mentioned casually while drinking that he wanted to find someone who would help drive the car for a long time. Somehow the news leaked out. Many people in the world actively wanted to take this job, regardless of whether it was profitable or not. Following a young and promising master, what if he starts a sect in the future? Or do you think of yourself as a wu wei view?
But in the end, it was Zhuang Zhenglin, who had taken care of Fu Qingzhou for a month, who introduced him.
The driver's name is Yuan Ziping. He was originally the captain of the Imperial Guards in the capital city and also had five realms of cultivation. However, because a relative who was a local official committed a major corruption case, he was involved. , except for his military status, he had no choice but to run back to his hometown of Luoyi and use the money he had saved in the past to run a small escort agency.
Keluoyi... has a martial arts alliance, and there are almost no bandits or horse thieves around. What's the use of an ordinary escort agency like you?
Not long after, his little bodyguard agency could no longer pay wages. All the bodyguards ran away, and he could no longer continue his business, so he had no choice but to defect to the Wulin League and become a bodyguard.
Of course, this guard was of little use... unlike his disciples who could learn martial arts, and few of them really dared to make trouble. With that little salary, he lived in confusion every day, and he lived a very unhappy life. He never married a wife and had children.
Now that Fu Qingzhou wanted to find a coachman, Zhuang Zhenglin recommended him.
This Yuan Ziping is an honest and kind man, quick and straightforward in doing things. Along the way, he not only drove Fu Qingzhou and the others, but also provided accommodation, fed the horses, arranged the journey, bought tea... everything was done very well. Detailed, he will definitely be there when he should appear, and he will be completely invisible when he shouldn't.
This is not a coachman, he is just a senior veteran bodyguard, driver and butler!
Fu Qingzhou was very satisfied. After a long journey, he did not find any petty theft or petty gain behavior in this coachman, nor did he do anything disrespectful to the two girls traveling with him, so he felt relieved to Some money was directly put into his hands and arranged for him to take care of.
As for other friends in Luoyi, most of them had their own arrangements. After getting drunk, they said goodbye to each other. Wu Changfeng, who seemed to be fine, also said that his father had arranged a few blind dates for him and he was busy returning to Shu. Earth, a lifelong event has been solved...
It was Li Qing's sister, Li Xiaoyue, who he originally wanted to take with him to Beijing.
But considering that there were many things to do in Beijing this time, and there might be many dangers, she was temporarily placed in the Wulin League. At least she was safe there.
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped outside the inn.
But after the car stopped, Fu Qingzhou in the car frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Qiu Chan noticed something wrong with his expression immediately: "Is it dangerous?"
"Well, there are many, many people ambushing around." Fu Qingzhou said in a low voice: " Their hiding skills are extremely good, and their breathing and heartbeat are almost non-existent. If I hadn't broken through the Sixth Realm, I might not have been able to detect them."
His voice was controlled just right when he spoke. He couldn't hear it at all, but Yuan Ziping, who was driving outside the carriage, could barely hear it clearly.
The next second, Yuan Ziping opened the door curtain, turned his head, and said calmly: "Young Master, Miss, it has nothing to do with us."
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Ziping continued: "They should be lurking here, waiting for a man named Wu Yan."
"Wu Yan?" Fu Qingzhou was startled. He never expected that he would Hear the killer's name here.
"Yes."
Yuan Ziping smiled slightly and said: "Young lady, you were playing in the car and didn't pay attention. From today on, all the way here are the fatwa for this person. ”
