His Highness must go back this time. After all, the meeting of all nations is coming soon. If he doesn't go back, within a day, some strange rumors will spread in the capital.
Geng Hanchu raised his hand and poured Ying Qingci a cup of tea.
"Third brother, do you have something to say?"
"Yes." Geng Hanchu nodded, and then poured himself another cup of tea unhurriedly.
"I need to go back to the capital in a few days." After saying that, Geng Hanchu thought for a while and then said, "I have some things to deal with at home."
Ying Qingci was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Geng Hanchu didn't know what she was thinking, "If your uncle is really in the capital, he might as well follow us back to the capital, so that he can have someone to look after him on the way."
"Now that you have been canonized as the head of the county, you were originally going to Beijing to express your gratitude. However, an epidemic happened to happen at that time, and things needed to be finished here, so the time was delayed."
"After all, in a few days, it's really time for you to set off."
If Ying Qingci went to the capital alone, he would be really worried.
Especially since the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Meeting is coming soon, if she goes at this time and no one is there to take care of her, it is difficult to predict whether anything will happen to her.
Ying Qingci was stunned and almost forgot about going to Beijing to express gratitude.
"By the way, if I come to Beijing this time, I have something else I want to trouble you with."
"What?"
"The plant illustration you gave me before was very useful. Hu Si from the Department of Agriculture even went to the outskirts of the capital and found a lot of wild plants. However, they didn't know them. If you go, you can give them some guidance. Fan."
"good."
Identifying plants is not a difficult task.
"However, third brother, I may not be able to recognize all those wild plants."
"It doesn't matter."
It was not a matter of forcing her. If he had forced her, then he would not say this now.
He knew the value of the illustrated book of plants that Ying Qingci gave them, and if there were any more, it might affect her own safety.
This is not what he wants to see.
Don't let this happen either.
It is still difficult to find someone in the huge capital city.
Previously, Geng Hanchu had always thought that Uncle Ying's family's traces were only in the south, but he did not expect that they would now be found in the capital.
However, with a certain location, it is not difficult to detect clues about a person.
Two days later, Tingfeng brought the news back.
Ying Shuangbai's traces did appear in the capital, but the current situation was not good.
Tingfeng told the situation truthfully, and Ying Qingci was also at the side and heard it very clearly.
She looked a little ugly.
"Third brother, can we set off immediately?"
After knowing the news about Ying Shuangbai and knowing that he was in deep trouble, Ying Qingci couldn't sit still. He had to see Ying Shuangbai before he could feel at ease.
"good."
Geng Hanchu understood Ying Qingci's urgency, "Tingfeng, go prepare the car."
"My dear, why are you so anxious?"
It was already afternoon when Tingfeng brought back the news. If he was traveling at this time, he might have to sleep outside at night.
Naturally, Ying Qingci couldn't tell her about Ying Shuangbai's situation, otherwise, she wouldn't know why she would be worried.
"Grandma, don't worry, it's okay. This time I'm not only going to see my uncle, but I'm also going to the palace to thank you. I'll be back after all this is done."
Huang Xuecao frowned and put the things into Ying Qingci's bag one by one.
"My dear, do you want to bring this pickle too?"
Huang Xuecao looked at the jar that Ying Qingci carried into the car. Isn't this what Ying Qingci was secretly tinkering with a few days ago?
She was still confused at the time, but later she realized that it was pickles.
"Well, it's a long way to the capital, so these pickles can satisfy your craving." As she said that, Ying Qingci carried another jar of different pickles into the car.
"Grandma, this pickle is already delicious. When the time comes, you can just open the jar and eat it."
"Okay, you should be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, Qiuyue and Lingxu are following me, everything will be fine."
It just so happened that this time, we were training them. Although we only brought Qiuyue and Lingxu, they were the two most clever people apart from Uncle Ding.
Qiuyue is clever and clever, while Lingxu is deep-minded, but he has martial arts skills at his side. If he is loyal, he will definitely be a good helper.
"Your Highness, why do I look at the young man at sister Ying's house? He looks familiar?"
On the other side, Nan Xiangyun's eyes fell on Lingxu, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
But it shouldn’t be, shouldn’t that person be dead long ago? How would it appear here?
Geng Hanchu nodded with deep eyes, "Yes."
"I have sent people to investigate this matter."
Nan Xiangyun nodded. He really wanted to find out. If it was really that person... it would be really worrying to have such a time bomb next to Sister Ying.
Geng Hanchu turned around, his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
After everything was packed up, a group of people got on the carriage.
However, before getting on the carriage, Ying Qingci paused slightly and glanced at Ling Xu.
She took back her hand and glanced at him, "Can you tell me something?"
"Um."
Lingxu nodded.
Ying Qingci nodded, and then took him to a corner on one side.
"Say it."
Ying Qingci's tone was cold and her eyes were cold.
Ling Xu glanced at him, with a flash of hatred in his eyes, but when he met Ying Qingci's eyes, he was slightly stunned.
"My...my enemy is there."
"If they see me, they'll get you involved."
He narrowed his eyes, afraid of any disgusting words coming from Ying Qingci's mouth.
"I thought I understood it from the day you came to my house."
"What?"
Lingxu was stunned and raised his head with some confusion? I don’t understand what Ying Qingci means.
"When I bought you, were you a slave?"
Lingxu nodded.
"Then can they take away the slaves I bought without any reason?"
"But……"
"Even if you are a powerful person, you should have reason to rob people. What's more, Kyoto is at the feet of the emperor. If you rob someone by force, you may be beating the drum of injustice in front of the Dali Temple."
"I..." A hint of complexity flashed in Ling Xu's eyes. His identity was even more complicated than that.
"Since I'm taking you there, I have a reason to take you with me, and I won't leave you alone."
"Just pack up and leave, we still have to hurry."
After saying that, Ying Qingci turned around and left, leaving Lingxu standing there alone with a complicated expression on his face.
What if she is tired from this training?
no!
Don't train him to exhaustion. If that happens, one life will be worth one life.
Ying Qingci walked into the carriage and when she looked up, she saw the eyes of Geng Hanchu and Nan Xiangyun falling on her.
"..."
