No!”
The second gentleman also vetoed it. Song Wan Yue was a small child, the age where she could be abducted by traffickers even if she walked alone on the road, and even if she could ride a horse, they were not comfortable letting her enter the capital alone.
“You guys forget that I can do martial arts, three or five big men won’t be my match, don’t believe me ……”
“That won’t work either.”
The old gentleman interrupted her in a firm manner, “Grand great grandfather gives you his word, even if we enter the capital late, we will still bring down the third prince.”
“What I’m afraid of is that when he returns to the capital and turns black and white upside down, we will be in a passive position, and then I don’t know how much more time and energy will be spent fighting him ……”
When she said this, she looked down at the skeleton in her arms, “I want all one hundred and thirteen members of the Gu family to be buried in peace sooner, I don’t want them to be left in peace long after they die.”
Silence fell in the car.
After a long time, the old man spoke slowly, “I remember there is a post station thirty miles away, let’s buy a good horse when we get there.”
“Thank you, maternal great-grandfather.”
Song Wangyue lifted her head.
“Don’t thank me yet, I will write some letters later, after you enter the capital find Song Si and ask him to deliver the letters according to the address above. Also, you must give me your word that when you arrive in the capital, you will not go to the Dengwen drum, everything will be discussed when we return to the capital.”
Song Wangyue raised her small hand, “I promise!”
In the afternoon, the coach arrived at the post station, and the old man himself went to the postmaster and not only bought a good horse, but also “borrowed” two postmen to take Song Wangyue to the capital.
Song Wan Yue didn’t say anything, she tied the bag with the skeletal remains on her chest and rolled onto the horse.
The postmaster was astonished to see how quickly she had mounted the horse at such a young age.
The two postmen spurred their horses to follow her, and Song Lin walked her out of the gate uneasily, regretting that he did not know how to ride a horse, otherwise he would have followed Yue into the capital.
Turning back to the group, he urged them, “Let’s go too, and rest at the town thirty miles away.”
The crowd had no comment and re-boarded the carriage.
Song Wangyue galloped along with the two postmen following closely behind her. When they passed the town, they thought Song Wangyue would stop and slowed down slightly, but to their surprise, Song Wangyue did not stop at all.
When it became dark and she still had no intention of stopping, one of the postmen couldn’t help himself and urged his horse to run parallel to her, “Miss Song, even if we are fine, the horse can’t take it. ”
“There is a small town further on, let’s bite the bullet and rest there. ”
The postman gritted his teeth and let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the town, seeing that Song Wangyue did not look the least bit tired, his heart rose in admiration.
Song Wan Yue was familiar with the way to an inn, threw the reins to the man and asked for two upper rooms.
“Song, Miss Song ……”
One of the postmen stopped, “We can just stay casually for one night.”
The two of them did not want Song Wangyue to spend more money to order a room.
Song Wan Yue pointed at the noisy people inside the inn and pointed at herself, meaning that she was a young girl and it was not safe for her to stay on her own, so she felt secure with them next door.
The two men understood what she meant and stopped trying to dissuade her, and the three of them followed the man upstairs.
After they had each entered their room, the two postmen looked at the furnishings of the room and for a long time before they dared to lie down carefully on the bed.
When Song Wangyue entered the door, she went straight to the window and opened it. It was dark in the distance and a warm breeze blew in.
Song Wangyue untied the parcel holding the skeleton and gently placed it on the ground to one side, leaning against the window with her arms around her chest, looking at the darkness in the distance.
Song Wangyue ate her meal and asked him to clean up after her, so she went back to the window.
An hour later, the whole town was in silence.
Song Wangyue also went to lie down on the bed and closed her eyes.
The window was still open.
The night passed peacefully.
It was just after dawn when Song Wangyue opened her eyes and looked at the wide open window, the corners of her mouth hooked coldly, before dressing and getting up. After washing up, she asked the staff to bring up food, ate and drank enough, paid for her room and left the inn on horseback.
The two postmen followed her, clearly feeling that Song Wangyue was different from yesterday, with a coldness emanating from all around her.
As they rode along, they looked at each other. They had stayed awake last night because they were afraid that if anything happened to Song Wangyue, they would be able to rush over in time. Fortunately, there was no movement all night.
One after another, the horses did not stop.
When they passed through a small town at noon, they only bought a few buns on the roadside and continued their journey, arriving at the gates of the capital before it became dark.
The two jailers stopped their horses, and it was time for them to go back now that the men had been delivered.
“It will be dark soon, you two come with me into the city to rest for the night, and it will not be too late to go back tomorrow.”
The two men were indeed tired, so they didn’t push back and followed Song Wangyue’s horse into the city and came to the pastry shop.
“Miss Song ……”
The yellow cake daughter-in-law happened to come out to pour water, and when she saw her at a glance, she was so surprised that she forgot to splash the water.
“Is my big brother here?”
“He’s gone over there with Miss Xiao.”
Song Wangyue turned her horse’s head, “I’ll go over to him first.”
When she had gone far away, Huangcao’s daughter-in-law splashed water and happily went in to tell the crowd the good news that Song Wangyue had arrived.
At the entrance of the mansion, there was Xiao Yao’s carriage parked, the driver standing holding the reins and several guards standing by the carriage.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, several of them turned around at the same time and were surprised to see that it was Song Wangyue, and one of them went in to report.
Song Si came out from inside at a fast pace.
When the two postmen saw it, they were so shocked that they almost fell off their horses.
Song Si had stopped at their post when he won the Scholarship and returned to his hometown, and the two of them knew each other.
“Little sister, what has happened? ”
When she saw the two postmen behind her, Song Si knew that something had happened at home.
Xiao Yao also came out with them, and when she heard Song Si’s words, she paused in her steps and looked at Song Wan Yue.
Song Wangyue got down from her horse, “Big brother, sister Xiao.”
Seeing her heavy face, Xiao Yao knew that something big must have happened, “Go in and talk.”
The three of them went inside.
The two postmen looked at each other, their hands subconsciously touching the silver tickets in their own arms.
Inside the house, Song Wangyue untied the parcel and placed it on the table.
A bad feeling rose in Song Si’s heart.
“Inside this is Gu Yi’s skeleton.”
Song Si’s face changed drastically.
Xiao Yao was so shocked that she covered her mouth.
“The poisoning of maternal great-grandfather was designed by the Third Prince and the Duke of Qi to seize the Gu family’s property, and when they got there, they killed one hundred and thirteen members of the Gu family and set fire to the Gu family.”
Xiao Yao was so shocked that she turned and ran outside.
