Jia Huai was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter, so he went to find Chen Ping after receiving instructions.

Chen Ping was not aware of what happened that year, and Jia Huai did not explain it, only saying that it was Princess Yongjia's order. Chen Ping knew that something was going on, but he was tactful and did not ask any more questions.

The two men rode out of the city on horseback and headed straight for the Huguo Temple with their men.

Fifty of Li family's private guards went with them this time, but these fifty people did not go up the mountain.

They did not dare to make a big fuss in Huguo Temple, so they could only do it quietly. These fifty people were just in case, and when it came to the last resort, they would not care so much.

At this time, in the Huguo Temple, Li Hu, who had become a monk, was still worriedly thinking about this matter.

He recognized Jia Huai. Jia Huai was Princess Yongjia's personal bodyguard and he had met him several times.

But he didn't know whether Jia Huai recognized him. He wondered whether he should leave the Huguo Temple.

He has been in Huguo Temple for several years. If he leaves, he won't know where to go for a while.

But if he doesn't leave, if Jia Huai remembers him, Princess Yongjia will not let him go.

After thinking about it for a whole day, Li Hu decided to leave Huguo Temple tomorrow. The world is so big, there will always be a place for him to stay. It is better than being recognized and causing a disaster.

As the sky outside gradually darkened, Li Hu tossed and turned in bed, not daring to fall asleep. In the temple, four brothers lived in one room, but he was the only one who had asked the abbot to live alone.

When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. Li Hu immediately opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and quietly walked to the door to look outside.

A moment later, Chen Ping and Jia Huai pushed the door open and Li Hu took advantage of the two's inattention to attack them. Then, he ran outside.

He did not ask his fellow disciples in the temple for help, because he knew very well that the Huguo Temple could not protect him.

There was a mountain behind the residence, so Li Hu ran into the mountain. However, his legs were not good, so he was caught up by Chen Ping and his companions before he entered the mountain.

Fortunately, although Li Hu's legs and feet were not good, his martial arts skills were still there. In addition, he was very familiar with this mountain. During the fight, he rolled and crawled, and slid into a valley. Taking advantage of the two people's unpreparedness, he ran down the mountain again.

Jia Huai said coldly: "I will go after him, General Chen goes to find the fifty private guards, and we will intercept him halfway up the mountain."

At this time, at the Shen family's farm outside the capital, Su Qingyu took Su Shunci and Su Zhilan to play for a day. They picked grapes, dug lotus roots, and caught a lot of fish.

The sisters had just changed into clean and fresh clothes. Su Zhilan looked at the large boxes in the yard with a satisfied look on her face, "Big sister, fourth sister, we have come back with a full load."

Before Su Qingyu got married, her uncle and aunt came back with their child. So she didn't have much contact with Su Zhilan. She only thought that the child was gentle and dignified like her mother.

But after spending more time with her during this period of time, she discovered that this fifth sister was actually very opinionated, and sometimes even a little rebellious.

She thinks this is good. Having your own opinions and ideas is better than being gullible and just listening to others.

Su Shunci held half a bunch of grapes in her hand, spitting out the skins as she ate them. "It looks like a lot, but it won't be much if we share it when we get back."

"Next year I will buy a farm in the suburbs of Beijing and grow more fruits and vegetables. I will use my private savings to buy them, and I can use them as a dowry in the future."

Seeing Su Zhilan's envious face, Su Shunci said again: "I will give Fifth Sister another one, which will be regarded as my dowry to Fifth Sister."

In other words, money is a woman's greatest confidence.

No matter how old you are, as long as you have enough money, you will be confident in speaking.

Shen Zhixiu said he would come to the farm to pick someone up, but as it was getting dark, no one showed up.

Just when I was thinking about whether to go back directly, a guard came to report, "Madam, the Third Master sent a message asking you and the two young ladies to wait a little longer. The Third Master is discussing matters with several adults and cannot get away for the time being."

Su Qingyu looked at the sky and told Jiang Qi, "Let's not wait any longer. Let's get ready to go back. It's very cloudy, and if we wait any longer, it might rain."

Afterwards, Jiang Qi took people to load the fruits and vegetables harvested today onto the car. Su Qingyu and her two sisters rode in one car, while the maids and old women sat in the car at the back.

The carriage left the farm and headed towards the capital. Jiang Qi brought more than ten guards to protect the three carriages.

With Jiang Qi's experience, there won't be any accidents along the way. No one in the capital dares to make trouble for the Shen family.

It was already dark at this time and there were few people on the road. Sitting in the car, I could only hear the creaking sound of the carriage.

They had been busy all day picking grapes and vegetables. They didn't feel anything when they were on the farm, but when the carriage started shaking, they suddenly felt exhausted.

Su Qingyu was especially sleepy, leaning against the wall of the carriage. Su Shunci was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she put a soft pillow behind her. She was also afraid that the instability of the carriage would scare her, so she sat by the side and watched over her.

Soon, the carriage reached the official road at the foot of the mountain. Ten miles further on the official road, it reached the west gate of the capital.

As soon as I got onto the official road from the country road, I saw a man rolling down from a mountain not far away.

There were many boulders and messy vegetation on the mountain. The man rolled to the foot of the mountain. Jiang Qi looked at the scene in amazement, grinning, thinking how painful it must be.

Although he took a look, he did not stop driving the car. These things had nothing to do with him, so he just watched the fun.

But after the man rolled down the mountain, he immediately climbed out of the grass.

Then he limped to the front of the carriage, and Jiang Qi was so scared that he quickly tightened the reins.

"What are you doing? Are you looking for death?" Jiang Qi cursed.

He stopped the carriage suddenly, and everyone in the carriage fell forward.

Su Shunci was quick to act. He supported Su Qingyu with one hand and grabbed Su Zhilan with the other.

Su Zhilan opened her eyes sleepily, "What's wrong?"

Su Qingyu was much more alert than her. She woke up instantly and lifted the car curtain to look outside.

"Why is it him?" Su Qingyu muttered. Wasn't that man a monk from Huguo Temple? Why was he in such a mess?

Li Hu was discussing with Jiang Qi at this time, "Little brother, can you give me a horse? I have to leave in a hurry."

Jiang Qi saw that although the man was wearing monk's clothes, he was obviously skilled in martial arts. He had just rolled down the mountain, and he didn't know if he had done anything wrong, so he didn't want to get involved.

He said politely, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Master, are you in trouble?" Su Qingyu got off the carriage, walked to the front of the carriage, and asked.

Perhaps because she had some interactions with Master Ci'en in both of her past lives, she had some respect for the master of Huguo Temple. If she could help within her ability, she would be willing to help.

Li Hu raised his head and recognized Su Qingyu.

Just as he was about to ask for a horse again, he heard a sound coming from the forest not far away. Someone must be chasing him, and there were quite a few of them.

Even if we could borrow a horse at this point, it might be too late.

Li Hu knelt on the ground and said to Su Qingyu, "Madam, can you help me escape this disaster? I have evidence that Princess Yongjia killed her brothers and sisters."
