Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Even though Gu Ning covered it up very quickly, Xie Yan still noticed her abnormality.

But there are too many mysteries in Gu Ning, like a quail, he shrinks when he tries to find out, if he tries to find out the bottom line, it will only be counterproductive - neither can solve these mysteries, but will push Gu Ning away.

What's more, who has no secrets, even himself...

Xie Yan thought about this, her phoenix eyes lightly closed, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she carefully lifted the curtain of the car, and looked at Jin Huan not far away under the cover of the guards around her.

Jin Huan loves money, but he is very particular about honesty, otherwise he would not have grown from an inconspicuous merchant to an imperial merchant respected by even the governor of a state. The reason why Kim Hwan created the opportunity to meet.

If Xie Yan can get Jin Huan's help, his burden will be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the kind-hearted Jin Huan can also save his family wealth and life.

After thinking about it, Gu Ning thought in his heart that this matter must be done.

It was getting late, and the convoy stopped on a flat grass field.

It was winter, and the grassland was barren, but it was flat and the terrain was high, so it was chosen as a place to camp.

Jin Huan cautiously followed behind the team, saw Yue Rong beckoning to him, and hurried over with his entourage behind him.

"Is this going to camp?" Jin Huan said with a smile, "How long are we going to stay here?"

Hearing this, Yue Rong stopped what he was doing, looked at Jin Huan carefully, and asked curiously: "Do you still want to follow us all the time? Our destination is the capital, not Jiangning Mansion!"

On the way ahead, Jin Huan had already reported his family background. In Yue Rong's view, since Jin Huan was from Jiangning, he naturally wanted to return to Jiangning.

However, Jin Huan quickly waved his hand: "Of course not to Jiangning. We can't sell such a large amount of goods to Jiangning. Only when we go to the capital can we sell them at a good price. This is not a good way to go!"

The more he talked, the more excited he looked.

If the goods transported thousands of miles from the Western Regions were not sold at a good price, how could he be worthy of his hard work along the way and those few fellows who died unfortunately?Neither the cost nor the money given to the guys' families is a small sum, so his shipment is very important, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

It’s just that I don’t know if the opal I presented that day can be liked by the lady. If it can, then he has another layer of protection. This time he doesn’t have many other things, but this opal and gems of various colors are just a catch. a lot.

Yue Rong looked at Jin Huan suspiciously: "You kept saying that you brought a large amount of goods, why didn't I see it? Those carriages of yours are very light."

Jin Huan chuckled: "This is a matter of my family and life, so I can't tell outsiders casually."

Hearing this, Yue Rong snorted coldly: "The master is kind enough to let you follow, you'd better be honest, if you have ulterior motives, then don't blame us for not keeping anyone under the knife!"

"It's natural." Jin Huan almost swore to the sky, with a serious face, "We must abide by Mr. Xie's instructions, and never take a step closer!"

"It's best like this." Yue Rong said impatiently, and threw him a small cylinder-shaped object: "If there is danger, just light the fuse, and we will send people to rescue."

After getting this thing, Jin Huan felt like a treasure. If the housekeeper behind him hadn't firmly held him back, he would have pulled out another thank you gift from his bosom.

As soon as Yue Rong left, the butler's complaining voice rang in Jin Huan's ear: "Master, you are too careless! That opal is extremely expensive, and you gave it away so easily! Thank you, it should also be after we arrived in the capital safely, why are you still showing your wealth in front of strangers?"

"If you are unlucky and meet someone who is greedy for money, our team will not even be able to survive with just that opal! You are too careless!"

Hearing these words, Jin Huan scratched his head: "At that time, I didn't think too much about it. Although Mr. Xie was a little cold, he had a good character. Look at the little thieves you met along the way. He was dealt with by his men."

"Besides, he is full of dignity, so he definitely doesn't look down on us yellow and white things."

"My lord still doesn't know much." The steward sneered, and said disdainfully, "Isn't it because the big families in the south of the Yangtze River fell into the miserable state they are today because they got on the thief ship of His Royal Highness Duan Wang? These noble people , but never put us businessmen in the eyes."

"I know all about it." Jin Huan sighed helplessly, "However, we have pursuers behind us. If we don't find someone to rely on as soon as possible, then the goods bought from the Western Regions will be cheaper for those people? Rather than just sit and wait for death , might as well take a gamble."

"And it turns out that my bet was right." Jin Huan smiled triumphantly at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was helpless, but he also nodded and sighed: "This time the luck is really good."

In the center of the camp, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, first the tall and straight Xie Yan came out, as soon as he appeared, all the guards became nervous, fearing that they might not do well and make Xie Yan dissatisfied.

But Xie Yan didn't see them in his eyes, he stood beside the carriage, stretched out his hand respectfully, using himself as a support, and helped a woman wearing a long veiled hat to get off the carriage.

The woman's whole body was covered under the long veiled hat, and the white gauze covered her figure, except for a slender hand exposed outside, which showed the extraordinary identity of this person.

Jin Huan's eyes were sharp, and he saw the jade bracelet on the wrist at a glance: "There are not many suet jades of this quality, even the wives of those families in the south of the Yangtze River. Looking at the appearance of this lady, it seems that she doesn't like it at all. Putting the jade bracelet in your eyes, it is really extravagant! We are following the right person this time!"

"Besides, seeing the appearance of these guards, she is the leader." The housekeeper pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, "I've never heard of such a lady in the capital."

"We are all ordinary merchants with low status. Even if there is news about this lady, it may not reach our ears." Jin Huan shook his head and comforted the housekeeper, "Don't think about it so much, it's better to go to the house sooner." Prepare dinner, we have to hurry tomorrow morning!"

The butler sighed, and when he was about to do it, he saw several familiar figures appearing in the woods ahead, and his expression changed drastically: "Master! Those people are chasing after you!"

……

In winter, the capital is covered in silver, and it is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, but the atmosphere in the capital is particularly tense. There are very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them are patrolling guards. Their sharp eyes are looking at the passing pedestrians, which makes people frightened. endlessly.

Pei Anlin drank a glass of wine, and the melancholy in his heart dissipated a lot.

"How's the situation in the palace?" His expression was the same as before, but the sarcasm in his eyes was much stronger.

After hearing the words, the masked man behind him smiled sarcastically: "It's still the same, yelling that the first prince is coming to kill him, and now the Tai Chi Hall has been surrounded by people sent by the Queen Mother, and he refuses to let anyone in. People are panicking, and several ministers have already written to ask the third prince to supervise the country."

"The Jiang family can't help it anymore." Pei Anlin smiled, "Where's the second prince? Has he received the news?"

"The emperor's coma is of great importance. The Song family sent someone to send the news. Our spies came to report that the second prince left half a month ago, and he should arrive in the capital after some time." The masked man gloated and smiled, " The show is about to begin!"

Pei Anlin drank the tea in his cup, and said: "Don't show up for now, there are still many old people in the palace who recognize you, and the hidden guards around the emperor have never shown up, it's not the last moment .”

"I know." The masked man's tone was rather gloomy, but in a blink of an eye, he laughed again, this time he smiled sincerely, "With your niece here, I'm not afraid of your betrayal."

When this matter was mentioned, Pei Anlin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Don't bring up things that have not yet been settled!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Following Pei Anlin's departure, a group of patrols from the Forbidden Army appeared at this time, and cleaned up all traces in an orderly manner.

The masked man looked at Pei Anlin who left angrily through the window, and curled his lips: "The Pei family's temperament is really the same as before."

In the palace, the eunuchs and maids carefully cleaned the snow on the ground with a very cautious attitude. Now is the troubled season, and a slight mistake can kill them.

As soon as Pei Anlin entered the imperial city, there were two lumps of snow on his feet.

Several cleaning maids knelt on the ground in fear, shouting "forgive me", and bowed extremely.

"There's no need to salute." Pei Anlin waved his hands, "I came into the palace just to see how the emperor is doing."

He walked forward with strides, and kicked the two balls of snow away casually, never caring about the mistakes of these court ladies.

At this time, in the Tai Chi Hall, the imperial guards were all replaced by Pei Anlin's unfamiliar faces, and they were gathering around the door, waiting for Pei Anlin who rushed over.

"General, the Empress Dowager has said that no one is allowed to enter."

Pei Anlin smiled coldly: "As a subject, my duty is to protect the emperor's safety. The queen mother has imprisoned the emperor for ten days, and she still refuses to let us face the saint. What is the intention?"

Behind him, Song Shangshu hurried over with several ministers, and knelt down at the door with a "plop".

"The old minister begs to see the emperor!"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Is the queen mother going to learn from the former queen mother?"

Their hair was frost-white, but they shouted louder than one.

In the Tai Chi Hall, the Empress Dowager held the armrest, and the wrinkles on her face were full of anger: "How dare they disobey and offend you! Don't you count the orders of the Ai family?"

Li Dehai said with a bitter face: "But General Pei is here, if you stop it again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the opinion of the court will be one-sided!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager patted the table with gritted teeth, pointed at the emperor and said, "Do you want to stay here as a mourner? Listen! Can these words be seen by people?"
