The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1234 The lingering ghost
"Don't worry, the princess, after an hour, the princess will be able to move freely!"

Throwing the letter on Qin Yingyuan, Gu Chengyu ordered someone to tie up the person who delivered the letter, and then said: "Pack up your luggage, let's go!"

"Ah? My lord, where are we going?" Mingyan glanced at the man in black who was staggering around in the room, and wondered why the lord was leaving all of a sudden?What should these people do?
Gu Chengyu took the lead out of the house, looking at the dark night sky, the snow outside had stopped, so it didn't matter if he was on his way.

The carriage continued to drive north, and the lantern hanging on the carriage was shaken from side to side by the body.

"My lord, do we still have to go to the border? What about the capital?" Ming Mo was a little puzzled. The capital is in chaos, and my lord still wants to go to the border?

If the crown prince fails to succeed, and the emperor is replaced by someone else, but the lord is far away at the border, wouldn't that be a missed opportunity?What's more, the new emperor has no friendship with the lord, and maybe he will forget the lord who is investigating the case at the border, which is useless to his career!

"The capital is now in chaos. The prince is fine now, so we don't need to worry. It's just that Prince Gong's side is a bit tricky. Maybe the day of civil war is about to begin. Daxing is eyeing Dayan again, and the border will be chaotic. Once When war starts, the people will suffer.”

That's why Gu Chengyu was going to the border. Wouldn't it be more chaos if he didn't restrain those Daxing people who were about to move around the border?
Once a war breaks out, taxes will be increased, soldiers will be levied, and the people will be displaced. Isn’t it the people who suffer?

"Furthermore, the crown prince ordered me to go to the border to investigate the case. It is the empress who summoned me back today. It has nothing to do with the crown prince. I have no reason to go back to the capital."

The crown prince didn't let him go back, what did he do when he went back?
Ming Mo just thought of this, but he was a little surprised. At this juncture, the crown prince even sent his lord to the border. Isn't he worried about the situation in the capital and his own safety?

Not to mention other things, my lord's martial arts are so strong, if I stay with the prince to protect him, the prince can save himself some trouble, right?

Sighing, Ming Mo shook his head, he couldn't understand the twists and turns in the intestines of these superiors.

After walking for more than an hour, Ming Mo saw a city gate ahead, which should be a small county town.It's just that it's not yet dawn, so the names on the city tower can't be seen clearly.

"My lord, should we go to this county town to rest?" Ming Mo turned his head and asked.

"No need! Let's rest in the next county!" Not long after they started on the road, they rested for several hours.Although it's not in a hurry, it can't be like traveling in mountains and rivers, after all, the brother is still at the border.

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes behind him resounded through the silent night.

The sound of horseshoes was approaching here, Gu Chengyu frowned, and there were quite a few people coming.Listening carefully, there are not only the sound of horseshoes, but also the sound of messy footsteps. It sounds like an army.

He frowned and thought, what's going on, is there an army coming?But the war hasn't started yet, where did the army come from?

"My lord, it seems that many people are coming on horseback at an extremely fast speed!" Naturally, Ming Mo and Ming Yan also heard the movement, and hurriedly reported to their lord.

Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and looked behind.It was found that although the other party was still some distance away from them, the long dragon formed by the flames meandered and extended to the corner.

"It's the army, let's step aside!" Gu Chengyu had a bad feeling in his heart. It's not the time of war yet, so how could there be night marches?
Could it be that which force has already begun to deploy?No, isn't it the one who can be so unscrupulous now?

Gu Chengyu glanced at the fire dragon again in disbelief, how could he appear here?This is the north of the capital!

"Army? My lord, I didn't hear that the imperial court was going to dispatch troops!" Ming Yan was a little confused. My lord said there would be wars, but the wars hadn't started yet. How could this army be marching at night?
Gu Chengyu looked at the two carriages behind him, and then observed the terrain, and found that there was only this wide road, with farmland beside the road, and a very wide view.

"It's close, let them pass first! Get in the car and get a coachman to go!" The journey to the border is long, and Gu Chengyu hired five coachmen.

There are quite a few people in the capital who know Mingmo and the others. They all know that Mingmo and the others are their followers, and it is difficult to ignore them sitting outside.

He doesn't want to fight that guy yet, he just wants to reach the border in a low-key manner.As for the traitors against the party, that was not something he could handle on his own, and he didn't have to work so hard.

He has never had the spirit of putting aside his own safety and sacrificing himself for others.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and the light of the torches illuminated the open space very brightly.Sitting in the carriage, Gu Chengyu seemed to be able to feel the scorching breath of those torches.

"My lord! There are three carriages ahead!" Lu Chen drove forward and reminded Prince Gong.

"It's probably a merchant! Be careful, if there is no abnormal behavior, then ignore it!" Prince Gong reined in and slowed down the horse.

Although the queen was kidnapped, there are many deserted places along the way. Who knows if the prince regrets it now?If the prince found a place in the wilderness to attack, and vowed to eradicate him regardless of the queen's life or death, it would not be impossible.

If it were him, it would be difficult for him to make up his mind.After letting the tiger go back to the mountain, it is even more difficult to capture him.

Gu Chengyu had already told the driver not to panic, just drive the carriage to the side of the road and calm the horse.

Lu Chen took a look at the three carriages, but there were no clan emblems on the carriages.Except for the restrained luxury of the first carriage, the other two are really ordinary.

It's not like a caravan, but like traveling with luggage.Holding the hilt of his sword, he rode his horse and passed the carriage, and he was relieved to see that the other party remained silent.

"Woo~" Suddenly, Lu Chen thought of something, and immediately reined in the reins.

Prince Gong also reined in at the same time as him, "Stop!"

With a deep shout, the march was interrupted, and the torches illuminated the coachman's face clearly.

The driver was a little flustered. He was a little scared when he saw the army suddenly, but the young adult behind him insisted that he sit in front.

Originally, this lord was hijacked during the day, and he and the other coachmen didn't want to take the job, but those men in black didn't let them go.

Afterwards, the lord promised again and again that he would protect their lives, and he was tempted with twice as much money as before, which allowed them to continue on their way.

Unexpectedly, not long after I left, something happened again. I really didn't read the almanac when I went out today!
Seeing that these people ignored them, the driver was relieved.But now that so many people's eyes were on him, his heart was beating in his throat.

"Master Gu, are you going on a tour?" A male voice with a hint of a smile, but a deep and pleasant voice came over.

Gu Chengyu stroked his forehead, alas!It's really haunting!
