Chapter 1631: Having evil intentions
Governor Cao quickly took the pigeon and opened the letter.
"I will definitely complete the task entrusted by the prince. As soon as I have any news, I will have Cui Chong deliver it to the palace immediately."
Governor Cao felt that when Huo Changhe was in Youcheng, he could still be lazy, but now that Huo Changhe was not around, he had to take up the responsibility and be Huo Changhe's backup.
Song Ping cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Cao."
Song Ping had a heavy burden on his shoulders. The prince and princess were not at home these days, and the safety of everyone in the mansion was on his mind.
I walked all the way back and made a detour to see Huo Changxu.
It happened that new paper had been delivered to Huo Changxu's shop and was being unloaded.
Huo Changxu was standing next to the truck inspecting it, with a woman next to him.
He recognized this woman; she was the one called Qingyue.
Song Ping's heart trembled and he hurried over.
"Son."
Huo Changxu turned around and saw him: "Brother Song, why are you here?"
"I..." Song Ping didn't say he was going to the governor's mansion, "I'm going to talk to Mr. Cao. I need to find him if I have anything."
Huo Changxu understood: "Why don't you go in and rest for a while? Have a cup of tea, I'll count and come right back."
"it is good."
Song Ping had no intention of entering the store, but he did not expect Yu Qingyue to be here. He was afraid that she would do something bad to Huo Changxu, so he nodded and agreed.
While drinking tea, he looked at the door. Huo Changxu carefully checked the goods and told the clerk to remember the number of varieties. He didn't even glance at Qingyue.
Song Ping felt somewhat relieved.
Finally finished, Huo Changxu immediately asked the accountant to settle the bill and pay.
Yu Qingyue said softly: "Don't be so anxious, we are already so familiar with each other..."
Huo Changxu interrupted her: "Brothers, we should settle accounts clearly. The more familiar you are, the more you should calculate the money clearly. Miss Yu, this is the most basic principle of doing business."
Yu Qingyue blushed slightly and took the money: "Well, it's all thanks to you that I can stay in the city and make money. How about I buy you a cup of tea?"
Song Ping couldn't hear clearly, but he could get the general idea and couldn't help but clench his teacup.
Huo Changxu smiled: "Thank you Miss Yu for your kindness. You don't rely on me, but on your own ability and craftsmanship. This money is well earned, you should cherish it."
Yu Qingyue was slightly startled, and felt that there seemed to be something else behind his words.
Before he had time to think about it, Huo Changxu said again: "I promised my mother to go home early, sorry."
"If you like tea, you can drink it in my shop without spending any money."
Yu Qingyue clenched her purse tightly and looked into the store, which was full of people coming and going.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Let's make an appointment another day."
Yu Qingyue left, and Huo Changxu did not try to keep her. He turned around and went back into the store.
"Brother Song, what's the matter? Is there any news about my elder brother?"
Song Ping nodded: "There is a letter for Lord Cao, saying that the prince and princess are doing well, and the second young master does not need to worry."
Huo Changxu sighed softly: "Brother and sister-in-law are not here, Brother Song, I'm sorry to trouble you in the mansion."
Song Ping cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, you are too polite. You should also be careful here. If you have nothing else, go back home as soon as possible."
"it is good."
Song Ping gave a few instructions and left. Huo Changxu also kept Yan Ruyu's words in mind and decided not to use the paper sent by Qingyue for the time being. He would wait until he got a sample and let the abbot and military doctor Cao take a look at it.
He held the paper in his hand, secretly sighing in his heart, wondering if Yu Qingyue's situation was really as she said.
How nice.
Yu Qingyue returned to her residence, holding her purse, feeling unhappy.
This purse is made of blue cotton cloth, which is slightly fuzzy and feels very soft.
This was her father's purse, the only thing he left her. The rope was brown - it was originally white, but after her father died, it was stained with blood and could never be washed white, so it turned brown.
The small courtyard where she lived had only three rooms and was very simple. When Huo Changxu offered to help her find a place to live, she declined.
She chose this place herself.
She didn't want to owe Huo Changxu a favor. She came here to avenge her father. If she owed him a favor, it would be difficult to settle the score when she killed him again.
As soon as she walked into the house, a gust of wind blew towards her. She immediately stepped back and twisted her body to avoid the attack.
Her martial arts skills are indeed average, but her ability to escape and evade attacks is first-rate.
When she was young, she was in poor health and looked like a skinny chicken. Her father was reluctant to let her train too intensely, so he taught her martial arts such as lightness and dodging.
It's considered a small achievement, at least I can save my life.
The attack stopped, and the man chuckled: "Not bad, your skills are still good."
Yu Qingyue smiled when she saw the person coming: "Second Uncle."
Yu Chunxiao nodded and looked at her: "Is it going well?"
Yu Qingyue tightened her grip on the silver: "Fortunately, I have gained his trust."
Yu Chunxiao's eyes seemed to look deep into hers: "What? Are you soft-hearted?"
"I've seen that guy twice. He's good-looking..."
"I didn't," Yu Qingyue interrupted, her knuckles turning white, "Nothing can compare to the revenge for my father's murder."
"That's good," Yu Chunxiao said seriously, "Continue to contact him."
As he spoke, he smoothed Yu Qingyue's hair and said, "He's good-looking, and you're not bad either. These are your strengths, and you should make good use of them."
Yu Qingyue turned away slightly: "Second Uncle, do you have any mission this time?"
Yu Chunxiao took his hand back: "Yes, I came to buy something."
Yu Qingyue asked: "What to buy? Can I help?"
Yu Chunxiao smiled lightly: "No need."
His eyes glanced at the purse, and Yu Qingyue took out silver from the purse.
"Uncle, I can't help you with anything else, but I'll give you this little money as a token of my gratitude."
"good."
As soon as Yu Chunxiao left the house, someone reported to Song Ping.
It happened that Cui Chong brought a letter written by Governor Cao, asking him to deliver it to Huo Changhe. He picked up his pen and added a few more lines.
……
When Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu received the letter, they had already left the valley.
Everything went smoothly on the journey, and Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Twenty miles ahead is the town. There is an inn there. Let's stay the night there," Huo Changhe said, and urged his horse forward to find Uncle Sima.
Uncle Sima had no objection. Although they were not on a forced march, they were not used to spending the night outside.
When we arrived at the inn, it was already dark. Fortunately, the town was quite big and the inn had some rooms available.
Under the lamp, Huo Changhe unfolded the letter.
"Sure enough."
Yan Ruyu cleaned her hands and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Come and read the letter from Governor Cao."
Yan Ruyu took it and read it quickly: "So that's how it is. Your Majesty has already guessed it?"
"It was just speculation before, so I asked Governor Cao to help investigate. Now it is irrefutable evidence."
Yan Ruyu nodded, then looked back: "Changxu is good, he can block one side."
Huo Changhe was also very pleased: "You taught me well."
"You, the elder sister-in-law, cares more about them than I do. I am ashamed."
He lowered his head and kissed her, but Yan Ruyu smiled and covered his mouth.
"Let's go, Master Sima is still waiting for us."
Huo Changhe had no choice but to follow.
"Don't forget to bring the map." Yan Ruyu reminded.
"understood."
