Now that Liu Yunqing decided to stay in the imperial capital, he asked Mr. Jiang for help in purchasing a house. Mr. Jiang worked neatly and found a nice house in just one day. Liu Yunqing went to see it and immediately bought it. Liu Yunqing has been in business for the past five years, and it can be said that he has prospered and accumulated a lot of wealth. Even compared with the richest man in the imperial capital, he is not far behind.
Because of the money to clear the way, Haitang took less than a day to investigate almost everything that happened five years ago. The reason why it is almost the same is because the whereabouts of Xia Jingyao's body have not been found no matter how hard we check. When Liu Yunqing heard Haitang's report, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Since the body could not be found, maybe Xia Jingyao was really still alive, Liu Yunqing thought to himself. Although there was a glimmer of hope, Liu Yunqing did not change his mind about revenge at all.
And the first target of revenge is Zhao Tan. Liu Yunqing was forced to leave by Zhao Tan. After learning about Xia Jingyao's death, it was Zhao Tan who he hated the most. When he learned that Zhao Tan would enter the palace to attend the celebration banquet, he decided to assassinate him when he returned from the palace. Since Xia Jingyao's old team had not been contacted yet, it was decided that Haitang would go with the caravan's escort.
Ever since Haitang took people out of the house, Liu Yunqing was feeling anxious. She is very worried about Haitang. Over the years, she has regarded Haitang as a family member. Originally, we didn't plan to let Haitang go, but Haitang's martial arts skills are the highest. Only if she goes, we will be most confident. After waiting for about two hours, Haitang came back with someone. Seeing Haitang come back, Liu Yunqing looked Haitang up and down, worried that she might get hurt.
"Madam, we failed. Zhao Tan is more powerful than we thought. There is a person wearing a mask next to him, and his martial arts is even more powerful than him." The first operation failed, and Haitang felt a little guilty.
"I was too hasty. What about the casualties? Were you followed when you came back?" Liu Yunqing did not blame Haitang.
"They are all minor injuries. They will be fine after a few days of rest. Zhao Tan probably felt guilty towards the Marquis and did not kill us or send anyone to follow us," Haitang said.
"You should contact the Marquis's old troops immediately. Our current combat power is too low. Now we have alerted the enemy. We must be absolutely sure next time before we take action. He felt guilty this time and did not kill him. He may not do it next time. While we are seeking revenge, we must also try to reduce casualties." Liu Yunqing still blamed herself a little, being blinded by hatred and almost harming Haitang.
"Well, the letter has been sent out. I believe it won't take long before there will be a reply." Haitang told Liu Yunqing what he had told her, and she sent the letter long ago without any delay.
"There are many dignitaries in the imperial capital. Go and find out which dignitaries have enmity with Prince Ning'an. It is so difficult to kill Zhao Tandu, but it is even more difficult to kill Prince Ning'an. Killing someone with a borrowed knife and adding fuel to the flames may be the solution. It's the best choice." Liu Yunqing's mind suddenly changed and he had a new idea.
"Madam, these powerful people are not easy to get along with. Will they get into trouble?" Haitang is still a little worried. Liu Yunqing is young, beautiful, and rich, so it is easy for others to covet him. The key point is that Liu Yunqing has no background, so he might be swallowed up by others if he makes a careless move.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm telling you. Just do as I say. I won't act rashly until I have the ability to protect myself." Liu Yunqing said. She naturally knew that those powerful people would eat people without spitting out their bones. host.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Liu Yunqing was painting in the courtyard that day, and Huanhuan was playing nearby. Suddenly, a servant came to report that there was a woman named Lian'er at the door asking to see him. Upon hearing the word "Lian'er", Liu Yunqing stood up and walked quickly towards the door. Huanhuan saw Liu Yunqing leaving and quickly followed him.
"Miss, it's really you, Lian'er misses you." Seeing Liu Yunqing, Lian'er hurriedly stepped forward to salute Liu Yunqing, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Lian'er, I miss you too." Liu Yunqing stepped forward and hugged Lian'er, and Lian'er hugged Liu Yunqing tightly with her backhand. The two hugged each other for a while before separating.
"Madam." After the two separated, a man next to him saluted Liu Yunqing.
"He Wu, why is it you?" Liu Yunqing looked at He Wu in surprise.
"My subordinates heard that Madam was summoning the old men of the Marquis, so they wanted to come and see if they could help Madam." He Wu explained the purpose of his visit.
"Well, let's go into the house and talk in detail." Liu Yunqing was very happy to see He Wu coming.
"Mom, give me a hug, Huanhuan is tired." At this time, Huanhuan ran over.
"Why are you running here?" Liu Yunqing squatted down, picked up Huanhuan, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Huanhuan's forehead.
"Miss, are you married?" Lian'er asked in surprise when she saw Huanhuan.
"No, Huanhuan is four years old this year." Liu Yunqing said.
"Madam, are you Miss?" He Wu asked in surprise.
"Yes." Liu Yunqing said affirmatively.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the lady." He Wu saluted respectfully, his eyes moist. He thought that the Xia family was extinct, but he didn't expect that there would be any descendants. He was so happy, happy for Xia Jingyao.
Huanhuan looked curiously at the man who saluted her, and then looked at Liu Yunqing.
"He Wu, there is no need to be polite. Come into the house and talk. I have something I want to ask you." Liu Yunqing said. After saying that, he hugged Huanhuan and walked towards the house.
Entering the front hall, Liu Yunqing asked his servants to carry Huanhuan out.
"He Wu, what happened after I left the Hou Mansion?" Liu Yunqing asked after sitting down.
"After my wife left, the young master completed the handover of government affairs as quickly as possible. In those days, the young master hardly ate or slept. His subordinates tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail. After the handover of affairs, The young master immediately dismissed the secret guards and the guards in the palace, and distributed three thousand taels of gold to everyone. Then, the young master entrusted Miss Lian'er and everyone in the palace to his subordinates. The subordinates knew at that time that the young master had already saved The subordinate wanted to die with the young master, but the young master said that the lady entrusted the young master with Miss Lian'er, and the young master could not disobey the madam. On that snowy night, the young master left the Hou Mansion alone. I stood on the roof, watching the young master come to die, but could do nothing. After the subordinates settled everyone in the house, they rushed to the imperial capital without stopping. However, when the subordinates arrived, the young master had already been killed by the king's staff. I wanted to take the young master's body back for burial, but I only found the young master's clothes and not the young master's body." He Wu told the story.
"You mean, you haven't seen the body of the Marquis?" Liu Yunqing asked anxiously.
"Yes, my subordinates searched the mass grave for three days. They searched the entire mass grave and only found the young master's clothes." He Wu replied truthfully.
"Many people saw Mr. Hou being killed with a stick, but no one knew where Mr. Hou's body went? Isn't this strange? Is it possible that Mr. Hou is still alive?" Liu Yunqing said.
"Madam, I don't think so. Your Majesty personally gave the order and personally watched the execution. No one has the guts to lie." He Wu was not as optimistic as Liu Yunqing.
"No matter what, the Marquis' revenge must be avenged. This time, I asked Haitang to summon the Marquis' old troops just to avenge the Marquis. Half a month ago, Haitang led someone to assassinate Zhao Tan. Unfortunately, It failed." Liu Yunqing didn't hide anything from He Wu.
"Madam, I will obey my orders, and let my subordinates do the assassination in the future." He Wu said immediately. He is the general of the Xia family. Since the Xia family still has descendants, he will naturally remain loyal to him without hesitation.
"Okay, but the assassination is just a bad idea. I will make friends with some of King Ning'an's sworn enemies and kill people with a borrowed knife. Of course, our own strength must also be strong. Some of the Marquis's old men have already arrived one after another, and these people have all made friends. Here it is. From now on, our safety will be left to you." Liu Yunqing said.
"Madam, don't worry, my subordinates will swear to the death to ensure the safety of madam and young lady." He Wu assured immediately.
"You guys have been tired all the way, so go and rest first. After you have rested, we can reminisce about old times." When Liu Yunqing spoke, he looked at Lian'er.
"Miss, Lian'er has a lot to say to the lady." Lian'er said happily.
"There will be a lot of time to talk about it in the future. Now you go to rest first, and I will catch the wind and wash away the dust for you at night." Liu Yunqing said with a smile.
When He Wu and Lian'er were taken to rest by their servants, Liu Yunqing sat there, feeling sad alone. She still underestimated Xia Jingyao's feelings for her. She thought that if she left, Xia Jingyao would marry Zhao Zi. Unexpectedly, Xia Jingyao would rather die than live up to his feelings for her. She suddenly realized that it was her departure that made Xia Jingyao give up hope of living. At this time, Liu Yunqing felt particularly self-blame and guilt.
In the next few days, Xia Jingyao's old subordinates kept coming. Ten days later, the number had exceeded 500. Liu Yunqing bought two more courtyards to accommodate these people. With these five hundred people, Liu Yunqing is more confident.
