On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 506 Starting over
The eyes of the person sitting next to the fire changed.

Don't look at scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, merchants are ranked last. In fact, merchants are also divided into levels.

Businessmen who become bigger and stronger are very rich no matter what industry they are in, but their status varies from region to region.

The dream of a businessman is to have several storefronts in the capital city where land is extremely valuable. The threshold for opening a shop in the capital city is extremely high. Not only does one need to have Zuyin's huge wealth, but he also needs to have strong connections, and even someone from the family who is an official to support him. .

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to own a shop in the capital now, and generally businessmen who have shops in the capital will have chain stores across the country.

To put it bluntly, even an inconspicuous store can make a lot of money that ordinary people cannot imagine.

It is precisely because of this that it is not easy to offend.

Ning Muqing was naturally inconvenient to reveal her true identity, so she could only cover it up with a businessman. She smiled modestly and said, "Miss Chunchun, thank you."

"Since Shopkeeper Zhao and Miss Chunchun are both going to Ping'an Town, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Miss Chunchun can agree to it."

Ning Muqing took advantage of the situation and said.

"You said."

"I want to go to Ping'an Town to meet my husband, but I'm not familiar with this journey, not to mention it's not safe for me as a woman to travel alone." Ning Muqing lowered her eyes and said in a very soft voice, "So, can I can’t join you and let me follow your caravan. I will be deeply grateful when I find my husband in Ping’an Town.”

"This matter is just a small matter, but I am just a follower. I can't make the decision. I have to ask shopkeeper Zhao if he agrees."

Qiao Chun said with a smile.

Qiao Xin immediately stood up, her fair face flushed with red/dizzy and said, "I...I'll ask right now, Mrs. Su, wait a minute!"

"I haven't finished speaking about Qiao Xin yet! Mrs. Su, don't worry, our shopkeeper Zhao has always been generous and generous, so he will definitely agree."

Qiao Chun found it funny, when did Qiao Xin become so enthusiastic.

Sure enough, after a few words with Shopkeeper Zhao, Qiao Xin said, "Shopkeeper Zhao agreed and asked me to tell Sister Qiao to take good care of Mrs. Su and treat her as a friend!"

Ning Muqing stood up and said thank you, "Thank you all very much. It's been a hard work along the way."

In order to reach Ping'an Town as soon as possible, the caravan group did not stay long, and the lights were turned off at dawn and they were ready to set off.

There was only one carriage in the team that could accommodate people, and it was originally prepared for Boss Zhao.

I learned that Ning Muqing "can't" ride a horse.

After Qiao Chun asked Boss Zhao, he smiled and said, "Boss Zhao said there are differences between men and women, so I will leave the carriage to Mrs. Su and wait until we get to the next town to buy it. Let's get in the carriage."

Ning Muqing didn't expect the other party to be so polite, "What about Boss Zhao?"

"There is a cart pulling goods behind, and everyone else is on it, taking turns riding horses. It will take another day to walk on the official road to the next town. When we wait for Ping'an Town, the journey is estimated to take four or five days." Qiao Chun said.

Ning Muqing had no objection to this and immediately got on the carriage.

The caravan set off quickly and walked along the official road. Because it was pulling a lot of goods, it couldn't go very fast.

Ning Muqing sat on the bumpy carriage and looked at the scenery outside through the window.

If Chu Lixuan's ship goes well, they should arrive at the Ping'an Town ferry tomorrow afternoon.

As for her side, she would have to be delayed on the road for at least four or five days.

I don’t know what’s going on on the ship?

She didn't return to the boat on time. With Chu Lixuan's character, he wouldn't really risk going into the water to find her, would he?

Probably not?
Chu Lixuan is not that stupid. He knows that she is good at water and has enough ability to protect herself.

Moreover, the fourth prince was beside him and would definitely stop him.

Although thinking this way, Ning Muqing's eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, and she felt a rare anxiety in her heart. She wished she could reach Ping'an Town immediately and find Chu Lixuan and the others.

Last night when Ning Muqing was in a coma after choking on water, she knew nothing.

The wind and waves were strong on the river, and the ship was swaying in the middle of the river, making constant creaking sounds.

"Sir, the tide in the river is high. It may be in danger for us to stay on the river like this! If the boat capsizes, it will be serious. We might as well stop the boat and dock it first, and wait until the tide recedes!" The boss of the boat braved the whistling river wind. , said anxiously.

The Minister of Agriculture also said anxiously, "Master, the wind and waves on the deck are too strong! You should go back to the cabin to take shelter first!"

The fourth prince struggled to hold on to the railing, stared at the wind and waves, and shouted without looking back, "You guys go back to the cabin first, and I, the young master, will tell you what to do in a moment."

"Young Master... you are worth a thousand dollars!" The Minister of Agriculture was shocked.

"I told you to go back first, I'll come right away!" the fourth prince ordered without question.

The three servants had no choice but to return to the cabin with the guards.

The boss of the ship was too anxious and did not dare to rush, so he had to lead the sailors to anchor first and try to stabilize the ship.

"Half an hour has passed and the Emperor's Aunt hasn't come up yet. I'm afraid something happened. Uncle Emperor, there's no point in waiting here. Come back to the cabin with me first!" The fourth prince frowned and advised.

Chu Lixuan stood in front of the railing and said coldly, "Go back first!"

The fourth prince found him and said, "Uncle, if you don't leave, how can I dare to go back?" What if he impulsively jumps off to find Ning Muqing? The wind is strong and the waves are strong, where can he go to find people?
The fourth prince sighed again, "Didn't you say that? The emperor's wife is very smart, has good water skills, and knows how to protect herself, so..."

Chu Lixuan interrupted coldly, "This assumes that there is no ambush in the water! If someone is there and she is alone and helpless, how do you want her to protect herself?"

The fourth prince thought of the body of the man in black that Chu Lixuan had caught on the boat, "She should have made adequate preparations before going into the water, and judging from the wounds on the body of the man in black, it was obvious that she was not the one who suffered."

Chu Lixuan pursed his thin lips, and his facial features that could not be concealed by his disguise were as sharp as swords, and his eyebrows were astonishingly cold.

There was a pause.

When the fourth prince heard his cold voice, he almost melted into the rushing river wind.

"I shouldn't have let her go down! She is so reckless! I, too, have lost my mind!"

The fourth prince was startled and twitched his lips, "I never thought that my uncle, who has never been defeated on the battlefield, would regret it!"

Chu Lixuan, "..."

At this time, the fourth prince was not in the mood to joke.

He frowned and said, "The tide on the river is high and the wind and waves are strong. The torches on the deck have just been extinguished by the wind and waves, and they cannot be lit at all. Without the firelight to guide them, even if the emperor's aunt surfaces, as long as the direction is slightly shifted, She couldn't find our boat on the pitch-black river.

This is really a leaky house and it rains all night. If there is nothing we can do, we will stop the boat and wait here until dawn and the river wind calms down, and then we will have someone search nearby. However, I am a little worried..."

The fourth prince frowned and turned to look at the waves rolling outside the boat. "The river is so fast. If the emperor loses her direction and is washed away by the current, it will be difficult to find her after dawn."

Chu Lixuan said, "If we don't see her after dawn, we will walk slowly all the way to Ping'an Town and wait. She will definitely find Ping'an Town!"

The fourth prince thought for a while and nodded, "Just waiting for the rabbit to come out is one way to go."

If you want to go to the border crossing, you must pass through Ping'an Town.

Ning Muqing will definitely go.

But the premise is that she did not die in the river.

The fourth prince glanced at Chu Lixuan without leaving any trace, and sighed in his heart.

Both he and Chu Lixuan knew what a dangerous sign it was if the person who went into the water did not come up in time.

The time a person can spend in the water is limited.

Especially at night when the light is poor and in the depths of the fast river, there may be enemies ambushing you. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

But neither he nor Chu Lixuan mentioned this worst possibility.

The fourth prince was worried about Chu Lixuan's mood and didn't want to speak too bluntly.

And Chu Lixuan...

He didn't think about it at all!

Just a piece of the Shanghai River could kill her?

Are you kidding me? !

Not to mention that he didn't know or feel the same way, he was absolutely sure that Ning Muqing was not in danger. Even if she was not, Chu Lixuan didn't think that Ning Muqing would be in any danger.

The man tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes darkened: With her character, even if she stepped half-foot into the Palace of Hell, she could use a silver needle to force the Lord of Hell to take her life back!
Chu Lixuan turned around and walked towards the cabin, with the fourth prince following behind him.

It was a stormy night without sleep.

Until dawn, the sky is getting brighter.

The storm on the river slowly calmed down, the tide receded, and the peace of the past returned.

After the sky fully lit up, the fourth prince ordered the ship boss to send sailors and rowed the boat around to search around, but no trace of Ning Muqing was found.

Including the few sailors who went into the water last night, there were no survivors or dead bodies.

The river surged past, taking away all traces.

Even the chain in the water was gone, as if it had been swept away by the strong tide last night.

After confirming that the water area was normal, the fourth prince ordered to readjust the direction and continue to move towards the original route.

……

at the same time.

Ning Muqing's caravan also set off.

After four days of trekking, the caravan finally arrived at Ping'an Town in the evening.

Qiao Chun couldn't wait to jump out of the car and stretched, "We're finally here. My whole body is about to fall apart while sitting in the carriage."

Ning Muqing also got out of the car and looked up at the gate of Ping'an Town.
