Chapter 479 Successfully Entering Beijing
Cao Zhu handed the horse to his subordinates, and then hurried into the nearby forest under the pretext of going to relieve himself.
"Xiao Que, why are you here? What happened to Xi'er and the others?"
After making sure that the people on the official road could not hear any sound from his side, Cao Zhu held Xiao Que in his hands and asked nervously.
"Master, don't worry. Master is worried that you might be in danger because of what is written in this letter, so he decided to go to the capital ahead of time. The carriage of the master and his family is not far ahead of you!"
The little bird flapped its wings and flew into the air, and the letter that Zhao Junhuan wrote to Lin Xi fell into Cao Zhu's hands.
Cao Zhu opened the letter and read it carefully. The more he read, the more serious his expression became.
"Xiao Que, this is the address of my house in Beijing, and this is my token. Give these things to Xi'er and let them stay in my house."
Thinking that Lin Xi and his family definitely didn't have a house in Beijing, it would be inconvenient for them to stay in a restaurant. Cao Zhu took out a pen and paper from his space ring and wrote down the address quickly. Then he took out a token and handed it to Xiao Que.
"The master said that she has made all the arrangements and has a place to stay. She will come to find you after she has packed up. Living with you will easily attract Zhao Ting'er's attention. The enemy is in the open, and she is in the dark, which makes it easier for her to act."
Xiao Que took Cao Zhu's address, pushed the token back with his spiritual power, and said as Lin Xi instructed.
"What Xi'er said makes sense, but you should give this token to Xi'er. I will tell the people in the mansion that seeing the token is like seeing me. This way, if she needs to see me, she can come in directly without notifying me. It will be much more convenient."
Cao Zhu thought for a while and said to Xiao Que.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Que put the token into the space very decisively, even though it thought that if the owner went to look for her uncle before revealing her identity, she would most likely climb over the wall instead of entering through the main door.
"Master uncle, I'm leaving!"
Xiao Que said goodbye to Cao Zhu and disappeared into the forest in a flash.
"Wait a minute, Xiaoque!"
Seeing Xiaoque disappear, Cao Zhu walked forward a few steps, raised his voice and shouted, and then looked towards the official road, fearing that someone would notice this side.
"Master uncle, what else is there?"
Xiao Que suddenly appeared in front of Cao Zhu, blinked his little green eyes, tilted his head and asked.
"Xi'er, do you have any proof of entry into Beijing, such as a travel permit?"
Cao Zhu was afraid that they had never been to the capital, didn't know the rules, and hadn't prepared for this, so he asked anxiously.
"Master, you have the clearance document that Jun Mo Xie gave her before. Master, don't worry! Is there anything else? I'm leaving now!"
The master is a very cautious person. He will make sure to prepare everything needed for the trip to the capital, Xiao Que thought to himself, fearing that Cao Zhu might have something else to say, so he asked him specifically.
"It's okay, it's okay. Tell Xi'er and the others to be careful and take a few days' rest after they are settled."
"Okay, got it, Master Uncle, I'm leaving now!"
After hearing Cao Zhu's instructions, Xiao Que agreed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Cao Zhu saw a soldier coming over to urinate, he quickly pulled up his trousers and pretended to have just finished urinating. Then he strode back to the team, drank water and rested while thinking about what was mentioned in Zhao Junhuan's letter.
"Stop, who's coming into the city?"
Lin Xi and his party soon arrived at the gate of the capital city in a carriage. The soldiers guarding the city raised their hands to stop them and asked loudly.
"Sir, this is our clearance document, please have a look!"
Bai Ji, who was driving the carriage, jumped off the carriage, took out the pass from his sleeve, handed it to the soldiers guarding the city with a smile and said.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that Baiji had a good temperament and that the horses pulling the carriage were all rare good horses. Their tense faces relaxed a little. They took the pass and opened it to take a closer look.
"It turns out to be the Regent..."
He looked at the contents on the pass, and a smile instantly broke out on his face. He bent down, clasped his fists towards Bai Ji with a flattering look, and was about to loudly announce their identities.
Bai Ji raised his hand to stop him: "Sir, please don't shout. We are here to enter the capital secretly. Please don't let the news leak out. Thank you."
After he finished speaking, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and quietly put it into the officer's hand.
"How can I do this? Don't worry, don't worry. Since it is the order of His Royal Highness the Regent, I will keep my mouth shut."
The soldier whispered as he secretly put the silver into his sleeve.
The regent was the de facto emperor, and he would not dare to leak the news even if he had the guts to do so.
After saying that, he waved to the officers and soldiers who were setting up the checkpoint and said, "Come on, let them pass!"
Bai Ji bowed to him, jumped onto the carriage, and led the convoy into the city smoothly.
After entering the city, Lin Kang got out of the carriage, drove the carriage to the front, and led the way for the Bai family members who were driving behind.
"No matter how dilapidated the prefectures and counties below are, the capital is still so prosperous!"
Bai Ji drove the carriage slowly along the street, sighing in his heart.
"Sister Lin Xi, the houses in the capital are so tall, they have three floors!"
"There are so many delicious foods here. What has such a strong aroma?"
Lin Xi, Daya and Yuanyuan were riding in the same carriage. Yuanyuan and Daya listened to the lively sounds on the street and couldn't help but lift a corner of the carriage curtain and looked outside quietly. As they looked, they sighed.
"After we settle down, we can go for a stroll on the street and see the prosperity of the capital!"
Seeing Yuanyuan and Daya looking curious, Lin Xi also looked out of the car window and said with a smile.
"No, let's get down to business first, and then go shopping after that."
Xiao Yuanyuan put down the curtain in her hand and said seriously, and Daya echoed her.
"Since we're in the capital, we have to take a good look around. Don't worry, it won't delay anything."
Lin Xi pinched her cute little face and said.
After saying that, he looked at Daya and smiled, "Sister Daya, since you are interested in food, let's try all the restaurants in the capital."
"Okay, I'll learn it secretly and make it for everyone when I return to Linshan Village."
Daya is particularly talented in cooking. She looked at Lin Xi and Yuan Yuan and said confidently.
"That's great, Sister Daya's cooking is the best!"
The three girls talked and laughed all the way, it was very warm.
The three Lin Kang brothers, Chen Youfu, Chen Qing and Chen Yan rode in the same carriage. The group of boys couldn't help but look outside the carriage curiously, chatting and laughing in low voices, which made Lin Ping, who was a little depressed after returning to the capital, relax.
Different from the relaxed atmosphere in the other two carriages, Cao had clenched his hands and remained silent since the moment the carriage entered the capital. Especially when the carriage passed by the general's mansion from a distance, a complex expression of sadness, resentment, and nostalgia appeared on his face.
