Chapter 176 Arrival at the Capital of Yan and Chu
Chapter 176 Arrival at the Capital of Yan and Chu
After Cang Yan left, Qu Jingyao comforted her mother who was still crying silently.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you!"
"Yaoyao, do you have a solution?" A surge of hope suddenly surged in Liu's heart.
She reached out to wipe Liu's tears, then blinked mysteriously and said, "Mother, have you forgotten the old immortal?"
"Old...old immortal...yes, Yaoyao, please beg the old immortal to save your grandmother, mother..." Liu grabbed her daughter's hand and said anxiously.
She gently placed her mother's hand on hers, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, telling her to put her heart at ease, and she would set off tonight...
"But it takes a month's journey to reach Yan and Chu. Your grandmother won't be able to wait until then."
When Liu thought of Cang Yan's words, the hope that had just risen in her heart was extinguished again, and she muttered to herself with a sense of loss.
It was the first time that Qu Jingyao saw her mother like this. She hugged her distressedly and tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, I told you that the old immortal can do anything. I will save grandma."
After a while, Liu's emotions calmed down, and she felt relieved after confirming with her again.
Qu Jingyao explained the household affairs to her mother, and asked her stepmother to take the order from Miss Gu, and told her to keep a close eye on this business.
Whether she can expand her business to the capital in the future depends on her orders. Also, her uncle should not appear in public for the time being, at least until she comes back.
Liu agreed to all of them.
"Mom, take this. Uncle's body needs this to nourish him. Just a small amount each time. He can't handle too much."
She handed a few porcelain bottles to Liu and only felt relieved after she repeatedly reminded her.
Qu Qingchen walked in from outside with a serious look on his face.
"Little sister, are you going to Yanchu State, or do you want me to accompany you..."
"Brother, if I want to go to Yanchu, I need the help of the old immortal, but I can't bring anyone with me.
But don't worry, I'll be fine, and grandma will get better too. I'll leave the house to my eldest brother. You must keep an eye on the cotton in the valley and the wasteland. This is very important."
Although Qu Qingchen was worried, his grandmother's condition was critical...
"Don't worry, I'm at home. Be careful on the road. When you get to Yanchu, don't trust anyone except your grandparents. Come back soon."
She looked at the worried eyes of her brother and mother, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She told them that she would leave in the evening.
"Isn't it too dangerous for a girl like you to travel at night?"
"Don't worry, brother. We have the old immortal here. It's not convenient during the day, you know."
Qu Jingyao blinked mysteriously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two men were scared by her.
After returning to the yard, she sorted out the notebooks and several drawings she had written previously in the space, called Baiguo to hand the things over to her, and instructed her to hand them over to the owners of the three shops respectively.
"Uncle, I understand. By the way, Master, the furniture design hasn't been delivered yet, why did you submit it in advance?"
"I'm busy lately, so I might as well send it to them in advance."
She was tidying up the things on the table, and Baiguo nodded in agreement, not doing what he thought.
Soon it was night, and Qu Jingyao led the horse out of the house. She did not say hello to her mother and elder brother, as she did not want to see their worried eyes. However, she did not expect Cang Yan to come.
"If the young master goes to the Kingdom of Yan and Chu, it would be useful to take this with you, but the princess's jade pendant must not be exposed."
Qu Jingyao took the black token in confusion.
Cang Yan explained that this was his family's emblem, and it held some status in Yanchu.
She carefully examined the black Xuantie Order and nodded slightly, "I'll leave the family to you."
"Young Master, rest assured. I will protect our family. Do not trust anything the Yanchu royal family says. Be careful on the road."
Qu Jingyao jumped on the horse, nodded with a slight smile on her lips, and urged the horse to gallop out of the village.
The watchdogs in the village heard the noise outside and started barking wildly.
She ran quickly out of the village in the night until she disappeared into the dense forest beside the official road.
The place where he appeared again the next second happened to be the capital of Yanchu.
She walked along the quiet street, looking around for an inn.
Although I asked Cang Yan about some matters concerning the Princess's Mansion and the Haoshan Palace when I came here, it was too late to go there. Besides, I didn't know if there were people monitoring the palace.
In order not to alert the enemy, Qu Jingyao chose to stay in the inn first and see how the situation develops.
Soon she found a larger inn on the main street. Thinking there might be some empty rooms, she knocked on the door.
"Sir, are you planning to stay in the hotel so late?"
"Is there still a room upstairs?"
"Yes, yes, girl, come with me."
As they were talking, the waiter led Qu Jingyao straight to a room on the second floor.
Just then, the door of the inn was knocked again. The waiter apologized and said that there was no one in front and he was the only one in the lobby tonight, so...
She nodded slightly in understanding.
"Miss, your room is on the second floor, second room on the left. If you need anything, please call me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter quickly walked downstairs again.
"Come on, come on, stop knocking."
The waiter quickly rushed to the door and opened it. Four men and women came in from outside. When Qu Jingyao looked back, she felt that the leading man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Logically speaking, this is her first time in Yanchu, so she wouldn't know anyone there, right?
"Little brother, are you still upstairs? Our master has been traveling for a long time and is tired and hungry. He is getting some food."
The person who was talking beside the man in the moon-white robe was obviously his subordinate. Qu Jingyao didn't read on and turned around to go upstairs.
The man downstairs looked up and happened to see Qu Jingyao's profile. His heart started beating wildly at that one glance.
He didn't even hear the subordinates talking to him behind him.
"Master, the room is on the second floor. Would you like the waiter to bring the food upstairs?"
"master?"
"it is good!"
The man walked quickly to the second floor. Qu Jingyao had already closed the door. Looking at the furnishings in the room, she nodded slightly. It was worthy of being the capital of Yanchu. The interior of this small inn was so luxurious.
She came to the couch and sat down, reaching out to open the window. In the distance, there were still twinkling candles on the street and the sound of the night watchman's clapper.
Manman in the space asked her if she had arrived at the destination.
"Well, here we are. Manman, I need to take a shower."
After saying this, Qu Jingyao flashed into the bamboo building in the space.
"Master, how long will you stay this time? Don't forget you can only teleport once a month."
Manman blinked his golden eyes to remind her.
"I understand. Let's go out for a walk tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower. You can go out first."
Manman jumped off the table and walked out the door.
