.     Rou Niang was lying softly in the carriage. Over the past few days, she had tears and she had lost all her strength. Two strong women were clamping her on the left and right. With just a little movement, they would become nervous and they would not even find a chance to seek death.

That night was like a nightmare, tormenting her all the time. As soon as she closed her eyes, a grim man walked in with a sharp steel knife in front of her. Her mother-in-law blocked her. Then the knife was inserted into her chest without any hesitation. Her body was covered with her blood. She heard Yun Zhao's anxious shout, but that was her last consciousness.

After waking up, she was in this carriage, galloping all the way, not knowing where to head, but Rou Niang knew that she was heading south because she heard the accent of passers-by constantly changing, and the food delivered to the carriage every day was very different from that in the north, and it was light and sweet every day.

But what puzzled Rou Niang the most was that when she stayed at night, she actually lived in the official station. At this time, the two strong women didn't know what methods they used. They were weak all over and could not speak, so they could only let them mercy and sent them to the room. This kind of life was really worse than death.

The road is getting better and better. From the extremely bumpy beginning to the very stable now, the road conditions are getting better and better, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer every day. Rou Niang doesn't know where these people will send her? But she knows that as long as she has the strength, she will definitely run back. Yun Zhao will definitely be alive. He is so strong and capable, how can there be any accident? So many beasts have been killed by Brother Yun, and those bad guys will definitely not be able to escape. Rou Niang comforted herself in her heart, but she disappeared. Brother Yun was going to find her?

Outside the car, Suo Wenhai breathed a long sigh and could see the towering city tower in the distance. His errand could finally be over. After handing over the people to the Great Prince's Mansion, he must find a place to relax. Along the way, he was more tired than anyone else. Not only was he tired in his body, but his heart was also tired.

In a good mood, he even walked to the car window and said to the car: "Girl, we are about to reach the ground. This is Shangjing. Our capital of Dayue is incomparable to the frontier. Its prosperity is unimaginable. One day the girl will become famous, but don't forget to be careful along the way!"

Rou Niang was shocked. It turned out that she had actually arrived in Shangjing, the capital of Dayue, which was nearly 3,000 miles away from Lucheng. In the past, she had only heard her father talk about it. She never dreamed that she would come to such a place. For a moment, she was extremely nervous and she had gone so far. How could Brother Yun find him? How could he think that he had been thousands of miles away?

I felt helpless in my heart, and tears fell down like beads with broken threads.

"I want to go home!" she started crying.

Suo Yuanhai felt it was necessary to persuade the girl, so he reached out to knock on the window. The strong woman inside opened the car window, and Suo Yuanhai's thin face leaned in from outside the car window.

"Girl, do you know where you are going?" He was frowning, "It's the Grand Prince's Mansion. Do you know who the Grand Prince is? That's the eldest son of the emperor today, and the person who has the most hope of ascending to the throne of our Grand Prince in the future. Once you enter the Grand Prince's Mansion, you will be worth a hundred times more. If you are lucky and can get the favor of the Grand Prince, then in the end, we all will kneel in front of you and salute you. Tell me, if you go to find such a good thing, most people will never dream of such a good thing. Do you think?"

"I don't want to enter the Grand Prince's Mansion, I want to go home!" Rou Niang didn't feel anything about who the Grand Prince was. The more Suo Yuanhai said this, the more he became more afraid. His father once said that the Houmen was as deep as the sea. This eldest prince had a higher status than the Houmen. If he really entered such a place, he would be afraid that he would never see his eldest brother Yun again in his life.

Seeing Rou Niang not entering, Suo Yuanhai shrugged. A country girl, I have never seen the world before. I am afraid that only when I go to the prince’s mansion, I see the grand occasion and the luxury, I know what heaven is. I am afraid that I can’t even drive it away at that time?

"Girl, you are crying now. One day, you will thank me. Okay, don't cry anymore. If you really enter the Grand Prince's Mansion, if you still cry like this, it will make those big men unhappy. You will be in a terrible state!" Suo Yuanhai said. He waved his hand and ordered the strong woman to close the car window, urged the carriage to leave quickly, and to arrive in the capital one step earlier and finish the work.

The sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, and the shouts of giving way came from time to time. Suo Yuanhai turned around and saw the flag guard of the visitor, his body shook, and he quickly said, "Hurry up, drive the carriage to the side of the road and let the people behind him go first."

The group made way to the side of the road and stopped.

First, dozens of knights with distinctly armored horses rode past, and then several carriages followed. On the edge of the carriage, a young man with a golden robe and jade belt and a crown rode on a pure white tall horse, and slowly came with the carriage.

"Fourth Prince!" Suo Yuanhai was shocked. He did not expect that he would meet the fourth prince here. Judging from their posture, it was probably the fourth prince who accompanied his family to the suburbs and went back for a walk.

The fourth prince Li Xiao, 28 years old at the time, was a very capable person among His Majesty’s twelve sons. He is now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice. He is the strongest rival of the eldest prince Li Jian, who serves by Suo Yuanhai. He is also the most likely person to compete with the eldest prince for that chair. The eldest prince Li Jian is 36 years old this year and is in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works. Both of them are the first to use in front of the emperor, and each has a team, and a large number of people support him in the court. As His Majesty’s physical condition is getting worse, this kind of competition has reached a heightened level.

Suo Yuanhai lowered his head and did not dare to look up. Although he was outside, he was so majestic that many local officials were very pleased with him, for these people, he was just a servant with a low status. He could determine his life and death with just one word.

Li Xiao was in a bad mood. This is mainly because he had a disadvantage in the competition with his elder brother in recent times. First, the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Revenue has been declining year by year, and the national finances are in short supply. The food for the emperor was very unhappy. Then, Wang Lin, the deputy minister who was close to him, was caught by his elder brother and was forced to go out. A series of blows made him feel a little depressed. The power of the court in the middle was originally rising and falling, and he was connected to the food and fell, and some fence-bearing grass swayed. In this period, several ministers in the court who had originally turned to him turned to his elder brother.

In a bad mood, he took the princess and his family to go out for a walk in the suburbs to relieve the depression in his heart, and at the same time calmed down and thought about countermeasures. The accumulation of the Ministry of Revenue cannot be solved overnight, and Wang Lin himself is indeed inappropriate, which makes people seize the handle. These two things are irreversible, but if you want to save the game, it is not just about making any achievements. As long as you can grasp the big brother's handle, you can still win a game.

Thinking about his thoughts, Li Xiao was a little unsteady, but his elder brother has always been very cunning and was cautious in his work. It was really difficult to grasp any mistakes.

But Li Xiao didn't believe that the elder brother was clean. In fact, in their position, no one dared to say that he was clean. The question is, where did he start?

Li Xiao thought in a daze, and a familiar figure suddenly flew across the corner of his eyes. He couldn't help but be stunned, stopped the horse, turned to look at the somewhat familiar figure.

"So Wenhai?" He shouted in confusion. Isn't this a manager in the eldest brother's family? He had seen such a person at the eldest brother's house.
