Li Baolu and the others bought a horse mule and an open cart. They packed the purchased tea and ham tightly in oilcloth and tied them in the middle of the cart. The group climbed into the mule cart and drove to the capital day and night. .

Among all livestock, horse mules have the greatest speed, strength and endurance, so Li Baolu is willing to spend five taels more to abandon donkeys and mules for horses and mules.

Out of distress for the jujube lost in Guangxin Mansion, Li Baolu insisted on naming the new mule Hongzao to commemorate their master-servant relationship that had just begun and ended.

Li Baolu and Wei Yingjie Tao Wu took turns to drive, unless they needed food and convenience, they only stopped at the three hours when they were sleeping at night.

Such a high-intensity rush, not only the jujube lost a lot of weight, but also the group of people who just sit and don't walk, but the speed is gratifying.

It took only ten days for them to rush from Jinhua Mansion to Baoding. If they kept going at this speed, they would be able to reach the capital tomorrow evening.

But both Gu Jingyun and Li An proposed to stay in Baoding for two more days.

Li An said with a smile: "This is the first time for you to come to a northern city, so you have to see and see, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time? And we have to sell the goods in our hands."

Gu Jingyun was much more straightforward, "The situation we have laid out in Jinhua should now have a result. Whether it succeeds or fails, we must always know it well, so that we can deal with the next thing well."

But this kind of confidential matter cannot be inquired by the outside world, so Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were free, but Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu went out every day.

Not only did they want to inquire about news, but they also had to mobilize guards to escort them into Beijing.

This is the last stop in Beijing, everything is safe and well, if there is an accident, they have to make preparations in advance.

Their forces are very close to here, and it is easy to deploy troops, not as difficult as in the south.

After Li Baolu was free, she took Gu Jingyun out to inspect the market. They didn't have much money left from Qiongzhou. They had so many things to do next, and they had to prepare some medicinal materials when He Zipei was pregnant, so they were short of money.

Since she came here for business along the way, Li Baolu naturally wants to carry forward this way of making money.

After selling the tea and ham in his hand, he made nearly double the money and started planning the next business.

The capital is not only the political center of Dachu, but also the economic center, where commodities from all over the country gather. Baoding has an advantage over other places because of its distance from the capital.

Therefore, the most popular goods in Baoding in Beijing are seasonal vegetables and flowers.

There are more people in the capital and less land, so the land is expensive. Even in the suburbs of Beijing, the price of the land is more than three times that of Baoding.

Because there are so many people, and there are so many rich and powerful people, it is inevitable that they love elegance, and no matter in which era, flowers are a way of expressing elegance.

Therefore, there are many flower farmers in Baoding City. After planting flowers, they are transplanted into flower pots and then sold to the capital. If they can grow mutant flower seeds and find the right buyer, one flower can make a family eat and drink for three lifetimes.

Anyway, in a word, the most famous specialty of Baoding in the capital is flowers!

However, a mule cart can hold 20 or 30 pots, which is only achieved by experienced flower farmers with the help of binding.

For the sake of money, Li Baolu resolutely drove the four adults out of the mule cart, installed the potted plants, and quietly headed for the capital.

Li An and the others walked on both sides of the mule cart, escorting the mule cart to the capital.

Li Baolu was driving the mule cart, praying all the time in her heart, "Don't have any accidents on the road, and get to the capital safely..."

However, Gu Jingyun kept Li Baolu's bow and crossbow by his hand. He glanced at the potted plants on the cart and said, "I told you to choose some cheap ones. Even if they break in the end, you will pay less."

Li Baolu gritted her teeth and said, "Let Li An pay for it at that time."

Gu Jingyun nodded, "I'll talk to him."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from behind. Li Baolu hurriedly drove the mule cart to the side, and the pedestrians on the road also gave way, seeing a group of twenty-odd strong men galloping past. The dust that was thrown up confused people's eyes, and everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dared not speak out.

Who would have thought that this group of people turned around to block in front of the crowd not long after they left, and the leader's sharp eyes glanced at them, and all the adult men present were stopped one by one and raised their heads.

Li An's eyes flickered slightly, and he also imitated the people on the side who lowered their heads slightly in fear, and only raised their heads helplessly when they were stopped.

The man only glanced at him before letting him go, and continued to look for someone.

Only then did Li An lower his head slightly, and when he looked down, he saw the saddle under the seat of the man. It was the saddle of Xishan Daying in the capital city. It was improved by the Ministry of Industry and supervised by the Ministry of Households.

Is someone selling saddles privately, or are these people from Xishan Daying?

The leader frowned and searched all the people, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for, so he couldn't help being displeased, so he swung his whip fiercely on the ground, making a "pop", and the dust was raised up, and the breeze With one blow, it was all over Li Baolu's face.

She couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly, trying to block the dust with her eyelashes, while Gu Jingyun frowned, clenched her fists, lowered her eyes and endured it.

The man didn't pay attention to the two little kids at the side, raised his hand, and said in a rough voice: "Let's go."

A group of people left quickly, but it seemed that a strange switch was turned on. Within two hours after the pedestrian left, three groups of people came to stop them from checking.

The people on the road began to speculate in panic, "Could it be that something big happened in the capital?"

"Great Chu has been in peace for a long time, and the world is peaceful. What big things can happen?"

Someone lowered their voice and guessed: "The sky is about to change, the emperor is not young."

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, even the ignorant people are more politically conscious than in other places, so don't open your mind too much, and don't speak too sharply.

"Oh, that's a mess. I heard that the crown prince's health is not good, and the emperor doesn't love him."

"What does it matter? He is both the eldest son and the eldest son, but he is orthodox. Unless the emperor makes a decree, who else can compete with him?"

"You can't say that, the emperor is no longer here, so whoever has the biggest fists must be able to listen to him, no matter how legitimate he is, he must have the ability to sit in that position..."

After listening to the gossip for a while, Li An said with black lines on his face: "Who said the people are so stupid? I think they are smarter than me..."

Wei Yingjie swept his eyes around the field, and said in a low voice: "My lord, be careful, there are a few of the newcomers who have acted suspiciously, and the people who came to meet us haven't arrived yet..."

Li An immediately shut his mouth tightly and followed closely beside the mule cart.

Wei Yingjie pulled him to take two quick steps, half pushed and half supported him into the mule cart, and sat right next to Li Baolu.

He smiled honestly, and said in a moderate voice: "Brother, your body is not strong yet, sit with your eldest niece for a while, don't get tired."

In a corner where no one can see, she gave Li Baolu a beseeching look.

Li Baolu glanced at him, then moved her buttocks towards Gu Jingyun, "Father, sit inside, I asked you to come up and sit with me a long time ago, are you okay?"

Li Jian gave a weak cough, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter."

A few people in gray clothes in the crowd glanced at Li An and stopped looking.

With a sallow face and wrinkled eyes, he looks about forty years old and looks sloppy. He is very different from the person they are looking for.

Li An was a little apologetic, because when the news from the capital city was transferred to them yesterday, he said that although the two children were still needed for the next journey, they didn't need them to protect him anymore.

Because the level of viciousness that followed was more than just a group of men in black chasing and killing, even if Li Baolu had excellent lightness skills, she would not be able to fully protect herself and Gu Jingyun, let alone adding him.

Li An didn't expect that the letter he sent from Jinhua Mansion would be so effective. It not only opened a gap between the grandpa and the fourth uncle, but also made the grandpa reprimand the fourth uncle for three days in a row.

Of course, this also put him on the cusp of the storm, at least the fourth uncle would get rid of him at all costs after knowing that he was the culprit.

Li An thought he wasn't shameless enough to drag the two children to die together knowing that they would die, so yesterday they agreed that although the group would still go on the road together, if they were in danger, Li Baolu would only need to protect Gu Jingyun.

As for the four of them, of course they have someone to support them!

It's already at the door of the house, will Li An stand still and be bullied?

Since Fourth Uncle can send a large number of troops, of course he must call a large number of people to meet them.

I wanted to wait in Baoding until the respondent arrived before leaving, but who knew that those men in black would find out the Jinhua Mansion based on the origin of the letter, and then find out Baoding.

In order not to be made dumplings, they had no choice but to leave the city today.

Li Baolu said that he bought these flowers and trees in order not to waste an opportunity to make money, but he knew that everything was to cover him.

Li Baolu didn't know that Li An who was sitting beside her had "misunderstood" her, but felt his face was strange, thinking he was worried, she couldn't help comforting him and said: "Don't be afraid, at worst, I'll take you and Brother Yun to hide in the mountains. "

After all, if this car of flowers and trees is affected and he needs to pay compensation, it's not easy to leave him behind.

Li An was even more moved.

Gu Jingyun coughed lightly and glanced at Li An. He always felt that Li An seemed to have misunderstood something.
