Chapter 191 First Entering the Capital
Putting away the wooden sign, Xiao Ruofeng looked at the lovely Su Qingtian and couldn't help wanting to be intimate, but also afraid that his strange third uncle would be too enthusiastic and scare Xiaowa.

I had to keep pinching the little girl's bun that was rolled into a ball, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

This is the tenderness and consideration among relatives that he has never enjoyed in his many years of travelling.

"I discussed with Lord Xia before, and tomorrow he will send someone to send you two back to Fengcheng."

After being acquitted, Xiao Ruofeng and Master Xia talked in detail for an hour. Apart from apologizing for his being wronged, Master Xia also revealed that the case was solved because of Su Qingtian and Fan Ye.

It's just that Master Xia didn't say much about their identities, and briefly mentioned the matter of Master Hu's assistance in Lin County.

Xiao Ruofeng also roughly knew the reason why Su Qingtian came here from the other party's tone. As for more details, since the little girl was unwilling to say more, he would not take the initiative to ask.

For this strange little niece, Xiao Ruofeng's mind was the same as that of his father, General Xiao, with both guilt and pity in his eyes.

For other irrelevant trivial matters, as long as Xiao Qingtian is happy, it doesn't matter.

"Third Uncle, are you leaving for the underground auction in the capital today?"

Su Qingtian didn't answer Xiao Ruofeng's words, but asked instead.

The underground auction is far away in the capital, the journey is long and the time is tight.

Xiao Ruofeng nodded, confirming Su Qingtian's guess.

"If you didn't come to me, I should be on my way."

After searching for so many years, he finally found the medicine that can cure the venom in the elder brother's body. No matter what, he will not give up easily.

It's just that this underground auction is going to start at dusk tonight, and I'm afraid that when I arrive, the medicinal material has already been auctioned away.

"I remember that the opening time of this auction is three quarters in the evening."

With that said, Su Qingtian turned her head to look at the slightly yellowed sky outside the window, "Well, there's still time."

Xiao Ruofeng followed her gaze, but was amused by the little girl's words.

"Girl, do you know how far Annan County is from the capital?"

"Even if we leave immediately, it will take a day's journey to arrive."

Sighing secretly, the man looked at the scenery outside the window and said lightly, "I just hope that when we arrive, the key medicinal ingredients have not yet been on the auction stage."

A pair of small hands suddenly grasped Xiao Ruofeng's wrist, and he lowered his head to look at Su Qingtian.

I saw the little girl blinking with a smile, and the next moment, the two of them disappeared in the room.

Fan Ye, who was picking up the teapot to add tea, was taken aback and sighed secretly.

The teapot fell on the table immediately, and the man disappeared together.

Everything happened so suddenly, Xiao Ruofeng felt dizzy and his stomach was churning, he couldn't stand upright and was about to fall on the little girl.

Afraid of crushing Xiao Qingtian, he tried his best to stand up and force himself to fall to the other side.

A force came from the back, it was Fan Ye.

"Come on, come on, let's have a look at the freshly baked Beijing desserts~"

"The barbarians have the latest masks, come try them all~"

"Zhang's storytelling, the talk will start at noon tomorrow, tickets are hard to come by, come and buy tickets quickly~"

There were cries of selling mixed with various voices in his ear, Xiao Ruofeng was covered by the fragrance of purple night flowers, and he raised his head suddenly.

The originally dim eyes immediately cleared up, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street outside the alley in surprise.

This is the capital? !

The towering city towers and magnificent palace spiers in the distance can't be wrong, this is indeed the capital!
"Third uncle, are you still dizzy?"

Turning his head to look at the little girl who was not as tall as his thigh, Xiao Ruofeng couldn't answer the other party's words for a while.

The shocking emotion at the moment is really hard to express. I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and I have never had such an astonishing experience.

I thought Mrs. Xia was exaggerating when explaining the process of solving the case, but I didn't expect that the other party not only told the truth, but also failed to describe such a powerful side of the little girl.

It's no wonder that daddy and fifth brother would rest assured that the little girl came to Annan County alone to rescue herself.

"That looks good!"

Su Qingtian, who was attracted by the flow of people, fell in love with a small stall on the street at a glance, took Xiao Ruofeng's hand and said coquettishly, "Third Uncle, I want that barbarian's mask, so I take a dark purple one."

Putting away the emotions on his face, Xiao Ruofeng led the little girl into the busy street.

The little girl was excitedly picking out her favorite items at the stalls of various vendors.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Not far away, two luxurious five-horse carriages galloped down the street, and the royal groom in front of the carriages aggressively drove the people on the street.

On the first carriage, big characters of "Shen" were pasted on the swinging lanterns at the two corners.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is the carriage of Shen Tang's family, the servant of the Ministry of War.

And the second one has the word "Su".

It was the Su family who killed their wives and abandoned their daughters!

The people on the road seemed to be used to the behavior of these two high-ranking and wealthy families, and they all avoided to the sides without even a trace of complaint in their mouths.

Xiao Ruofeng was worried that the little girl would be trampled by the crowd, so he held Su Qingtian in his arms with his back to the crowd.

After the noise of the carriage disappeared, he slowly turned his head to look at the afterimage of their departure.

"The Shen family and the Su family are in such a hurry, where are they going?"

A woman asked curiously, "On weekdays, even in the morning hours, I have never seen them so anxious."

The woman is dedicated to going to the market, and occasionally sees the carriages of two high-ranking officials going to the palace in the morning.

"You don't know yet? Today is the opening day of the five-year underground auction."

The young man squatting on the ground to pick up eggs said, he kicked his hands in his sleeves and raised his chin in the direction of the carriage with his hands in his sleeves, "Look at this, it must be to grab a seat."

"Underground auction?"

The white-bearded old man who was about to close the stall at the side glanced at the young man, "Since it's underground, how do you know such details? Could it be just nonsense."

"Hey? You old man, you slandered me for talking nonsense without knowing it."

The boy wasn't really annoyed, he pointed in the direction of the palace, "Since he was replaced by the royal family, this auction has become a public event, but the name has not been changed."

"Besides, this year's auction will be held by King Jin. Apart from the little prince, this prince is the one who has the most sacred heart. Naturally, Shen and Su's two families have to curry favor in advance."

"The little prince is only seven years old, but His Majesty is already old. It is not certain who will be in charge of the main hall in the end!"

The young man obviously became more and more excited as he talked, he had already forgotten that it was a serious crime for a commoner to discuss the royal family here.

He stood up and patted the dirt on his body, with a sly expression on his face, "I heard that the Shen family has always intended to marry their eldest daughter into the Prince Jin's mansion, and become the only side concubine!"
