Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Chapter 154, Departure

Xu Chi hurriedly ran out of the inn. Seeing Pei Qi's shadow, the unbreakable stone in his heart was finally put down: "Master, you finally..."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Pei Qi as soon as he opened his mouth.

Pei Qi said with a serious face: "Xu Chi, has Cui Shaogong sent you any message in recent days? Or, does he have any other way to communicate with you?"

Pei Qi's words were so serious that Xu Chi, who had hurried over, was unable to react for a moment. After a pause, he spoke in a low voice, "Among the three hundred shadow guards, there are people who are responsible for delivering messages. The one who is now with the Imperial Master is called Han Lin, and the one who is with the Grand Marshal is called Han Lie. However, I have indeed not received any news from the Grand Marshal in recent days."

However, the Cui family had nothing to do with court affairs earlier, and no one could pose a threat to the Cui family given their status. The messengers of the three hundred shadow guards were generally only used in emergencies of war, so according to common sense, there was no news from the imperial capital, which was normal in his opinion.

I don't know why the national teacher asked this.

Pei Qi stared for a moment, thinking of what Zong Zheng Wuyan said about "the capital has changed", and felt more and more uncomfortable.

Could it be that I really have to go back to the imperial capital to take a look?

Rong Qin saw through her thoughts and laughed mockingly: "At this critical moment, you still want to go back?"

"Duan Qianjun has been in Jinjiang for a long time. If his purpose is really to obtain the immortal Gu soldiers, then the people of Jinjiang are now fish at the mercy of others. This is nothing to me. Anyway, whether the people of Jinjiang live or die has nothing to do with me. This trip is nothing more than to save my poor master's wife."

"But for someone like the Imperial Master who cares about the people... heh, the trip to Jinjiang is imminent."

Perhaps, this was exactly why Jiang Mingcang let Pei Qi leave the imperial capital even though he knew that Pei Qi was going to Jinjiang.

He wanted to get Pei Qi away.

Unfortunately, Pei Qi was unwilling to believe that the student she had worked so hard to support was actually a disaster.
"You..." Pei Qi subconsciously raised his head and glared at Rong Qin fiercely.

I wanted to say something in rebuttal, but I felt that what he said made sense.

Didn't she go to Jinjiang just to see what Duan Qianjun was up to?

Right now, the people of Jinjiang are the priority.

but……

"Xu Chi."

Pei Qi opened his mouth and said, "Send someone back to the imperial capital to see what happened. The gates of the imperial capital may be heavily guarded now, so be careful when entering and leaving."

"Also, let's go to the Pei family and check what Pei Yunjiang has been doing recently and how he got his official position."

And what on earth was he up to that made him go to the Chaozhou store with so much effort to get that extremely sinister medicine!
In the store, she watched Pei Yunjiang pay a large sum of money for the torturous cold poison. Although the cold poison was not as potent as the sky-destroying cold poison, it was enough to make someone obedient.

Who does he want to control?
Seeing this, Xu Chi also realized the seriousness of the matter. He made arrangements according to Pei Qi's instructions and ordered Han Lin to return to the imperial capital to find out what was going on.

However, Pei Qi and his group still decided to continue heading to Jinjiang.

No matter what happens in the imperial capital, even if Jiang Mingcang's intentions are impure as Zong Zheng Wuyan said, he will never do anything to harm Da Sheng. But it is different in Jinjiang. The "soldiers" of the Undead Gu Soldiers are all dead.

The people of Jinjiang must be saved.

Can……

It is unknown whether she can compete with Duan Qianjun with only three hundred shadow guards.

Although Cui Shaogong lent her the army from Fengyun Pass, it was still an army after all. Once it was deployed, everyone would be suspicious and the people would panic. How could it be used casually...

"Tu You, send someone to pack up and set off."

While he was thinking, Rong Qin had already got on the carriage. Pei Qi's thoughts were fruitless, so he had to take care of Jinjiang's affairs first.

She sighed and prepared to leave immediately.

As for Zong Zheng Wuyan's previous statement that he would send Pei Yunjiang to her after the sale was over...

Humph, just Zhou Xuan’s words.

Pei Qi sighed and said to Xu Chi, "Let's go to Jinjiang."

"Sister Pei!"

Pei Qi was about to step onto the carriage when she was stopped by a childish voice. She turned around in surprise and saw Xing Luo's shadow land on the ground after a few jumps, raising one hand to greet her. Xu Chi stood in front of Pei Qi with a knife in his hand, looking at Xing Luo's small figure with hostility.

If what he thought was correct, the disappearance of the national teacher last night was related to her!

Pei Qi patted Xu Chi's shoulder and said "No problem", then walked out from behind him, squatted in front of Xing Luo, and pinched her fair little face: "Why are you here?"

Xingluo threw herself into Pei Qi's arms, hugged her neck and rubbed it: "That guy went back to Beiding, saying that he had to deal with Cui Gong. The way back to Beiding is so far, I was too lazy to bother, so I came to find Sister Pei."

Cui Shaogong.

Could it be that he really led his troops to the border?

Pei Qi hugged Xingluo back and asked, "Did Zong Zheng Wuyan say anything else to you?"

"No." Xingluo shook his head: "He said Sister Pei would find a way to find him sooner or later, so he didn't say anything when he left..."

"Heh." Xingluo's words were interrupted by a sudden sneer. Rongqin's carriage curtain was lifted up by him at some point, and a half-smile, playful face appeared on his face: "From what I see, Zongzheng Wuyan's instructions are probably to ask you to keep a close eye on Pei Qi so that you can report to him in time."

"Your little tricks can only fool a simple-minded idiot like Pei Qi."

In an instant, two unfriendly gazes fell on Rong Qin's face.

"I didn't lie to Sister Pei!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

Rong Qin snorted with disdain and let down the curtain, with an attitude of "whoever agrees will be the one to say it".

Baili Qingming took a sip of wine and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

He still looked worried when he came back just now, and now he was arguing with me.

Rong Qin, that kid...

Ever since he was rescued from Dayan, he has been indifferent and apathetic, so he is not the type to tell jokes.

Well, change that damn temper.

When Tu You finished loading the cart, Baili Qingming and Rongli also got on their horses.

Rongli winked at Pei Qi: "We'll go ahead, see you in Jinjiang."

"Okay, see you in Jinjiang." Pei Qi nodded politely.

Although Rongli is Rongqin's biological sister, Pei Qi is always grateful to Rongli.

After all, if Rongli wasn't there, Xi Qing wouldn't have helped her treat her eyes.

Thinking of Xi Qing, Pei Qi lowered his head unconsciously and looked at Xing Luo.

I don't know if Xi Qing's medical skills can help Xingluo get rid of this evil poison that is tormenting her.

"Squeak--squeak--"

While Pei Qi was thinking, he suddenly heard a series of tiny squeaking sounds in his ears.

At the same time, Tu You also began to feel something was wrong.

Pei Qi suddenly thought of something. She quickly turned around and tried to call out to Rong Qin's convoy: "Hey! Wait a minute..."

The next second, the team of carriages that had just started their journey and were intact suddenly fell apart one after another as if they had agreed to do so.

Accompanied by a series of loud bangs, the row of carriages was replaced by clouds of dust.

it's over...

Pei Qi quickly covered his face and turned around.

In order to force Rong Qin to help her get the invitation letter to the underground shopping mall, she had asked Xu Chi to secretly dismantle Rong Qin's carriage.

Now...she actually forgot about it!
