Although the news of the underground immortal city had been concealed, the people were still affected.
Fortunately, it did not affect the people.
Along the way, they also enjoyed the scenery along the way.
"We'll be close to the North Ridge in a month."
Qinghu said in a low voice as he rode on the horse.
Lin Mengya lifted the curtain and looked outside.
"We should have arrived at the An Family's fief, right?"
"Yes, we'll be there after the town in front of us. But the An Family is not in a good situation now. "
That was true.
The An Family had completely offended the Divine Temple. Although the Baili Family was protecting and befriending them, that was the matter of the higher-ups.
Moreover, the Gong Family, the Ma Family, and the Cheng Family of the top ten aristocratic families were working together.
The Rong Family and the Xu Family had fallen out with each other and were fighting among themselves.
The An Family and the Baili Family were in cahoots with each other, but they had lost the support of the Divine Temple and the imperial court. The remaining three families were also suffering.
After all, they were courting death by joining hands with the Baili Family to plot against the Divine Temple.
The Divine Temple was a puppet of the immortal city, but its power was not to be underestimated.
In this way, those powerful families would probably rise up.
It was a good thing for Wei Guo, who was in a stalemate, to fight for supremacy.
She, on the other hand, was fishing in troubled waters.
"They are old friends after all. Since we're here, we should pay them a visit."
She said lightly and casually.
Qinghu raised the corner of his mouth. She was not going to pay them a visit. She was going to watch the show.
After a few stops, they finally arrived at the An Family's fief.
Compared to the other fief they had passed, the An Family's fief was much more desolate.
Along the way, almost half of the shops already had the words "Out of Business" hung on them.
The rest of them were just struggling to get by and barely maintaining their lives.
From the information she had gathered, ever since the An Clan had participated in the Full Moon Ceremony, the main clan members had all holed up.
She did not know where the news came from, but the head of the An Family had been disrespectful to the Holy Lord.
Although the common people did not know anything, their respect for the Divine Temple was purer than that of the aristocratic families.
The rumors became more and more intense. Although the An Family tried to refute them, the common people did not believe them.
In this way, the An family gradually lost the hearts of the people.
However, it wouldn't have ended up like this.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at the people on the road in a hurry. She was puzzled.
It looked like someone was purposely making things difficult for the An Clan.
"Let's find a place to rest."
Qinghu nodded and went ahead to make arrangements.
Soon, they found an inn.
It was probably because there had been a sharp decrease in the number of merchants coming and going that this place was almost empty.
When the boss saw such a big customer, he almost burst into tears. He hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
"Esteemed guests, please come in, please come in!"
The place that Qinghu had chosen was naturally the best.
Their group had practically booked the entire inn, and the three ladies naturally stayed in the largest suite.
In the past half a month, under the meticulous treatment of her and her teacher, Baisu had fully recovered.
He got along better and better with Xiu.
With Baisu around, Xiu gradually walked out of the shadow she had been in.
"Master, the innkeeper asked if you would like to have your meal downstairs or in your room?"
"Let's go down now."
Because this was a rare guest, the innkeeper and the chef had used all their skills.
After a while, a table full of delicious dishes was laid out.
However, they didn't expect that there was no one else in the hall except for them, even though it was meal time.
It seemed that life was not easy.
"Innkeeper, wasn't your house always overcrowded when I came here before? Why is it so quiet today? "
Qinghu raised his eyebrows and made up a story.
But judging from the facilities here, the business must have been good in the past.
Hearing this, the innkeeper sighed.
It seemed that he had thousands of words to say, but he didn't know where to start.
"Come on, there are no outsiders here. Let's have a drink?"
Qinghu waved his hand and said with a smile.
The innkeeper looked behind him and smiled apologetically.
"Business is not good, and my wife is keeping a close eye on it. You don't have to drink. I'll just accompany you and have a few words. "
Although he said so, he didn't push away the wine glass that Qinghu filled for him.
"Innkeeper, I don't think there are many people on this street. The last time I came here, it was not like this. "
Qinghu was definitely a professional when it came to pleasantries.
The innkeeper looked outside and shook his head helplessly.
"Sir, you came here in the new year, right? To tell you the truth, the An family is finished. Of all the things they did, they just had to be disrespectful to the Holy Temple. What kind of place is the Holy Temple? It's a place to worship the Holy God. If the Holy God is angry, will they still have a good life? "
Qinghu looked at the innkeeper with a faint smile. It seemed that he had been holding back his words. Once the innkeeper started talking, he couldn't stop.
"I also heard that the An family is not honest. Do you know the Gong family who used to be on good terms with the An family? "
She and Qinghu looked at each other and nodded tacitly.
"Didn't the Gong family fall a few years ago? Some people said that it was the An family's doing. They also said that the An family had done many immoral things to embezzle the business that belonged to the Gong family. Bah, they were treacherous and even got us into trouble! "
She was a little surprised. How did these people know about this?
The shopkeeper rambled on for quite a while, almost cursing the entire An family.
In the end, the landlady felt that her husband was a little embarrassed, so she pulled him away by his ear.
Apart from the innkeeper's personal feelings, she was a little surprised by how much these people knew about the An family's scandals.
After all, there were some things that the An family would not reveal even if they were to die.
But if the innkeeper knew about it, the others would also know about it.
In the end, who could have said it?
"Who in the Gong family would do such a thing?"
Qinghu asked with a smile. She thought for a while and shook her head.
Although there were some things that the Gong family knew about, the Gong family was very upright.
However, the people of the Gong family were all very upright, so they probably wouldn't use such a method.
"I don't think it was done by the Gong family. I can ask them when I go back. "
She was not pitying the An family. In fact, she also felt that they deserved it.
But this method was a little unorthodox after all.
Moreover, this would also bring shame to the Gong family.
The Gong family would obviously benefit from this.
But apart from the Gong family, who else could know the inside story of the two families?
Fortunately, this matter had not caused a great uproar, so it did not matter.
Just after dinner, they went out for a stroll in the street to digest the food.
Different from the Gong family, the main family and the branches of the An family lived in the same city.
There were more than a dozen small towns outside the city.
The one they were in was the most prosperous and largest town.
However, the city gate leading to the main city of the An family was under martial law at this moment.
The checks were very strict. In a short while, many people were stopped at the gate.
She frowned slightly. What was wrong with the An family? Not only did they let the rumors spread, but they also closed the city gate so that people could not enter easily.
Could it be that something big had happened in the An family?
"Master."
While she was looking at the city gate and thinking, Baisu tugged at her sleeve.
She turned around and saw a familiar figure hurriedly walking over.
Wasn't that An Ruchu?
Her eyes lit up, but she immediately looked down, blocking her line of sight.
Fortunately, the person seemed to be in a hurry and disappeared at the city gate in the blink of an eye.
"Go and ask someone to find out what exactly happened."
Baisu accepted the order and went to make the arrangements.
Qinghu, on the other hand, looked at the main city of the An family with a playful expression.
"Good things don't happen if they don't. In my opinion, they must be plotting something. "
Lin Mengya also agreed with this point.
She did not have a good impression of the An family at all.
However, she had not been able to find An Zichen, which became a worry in her heart.
After all, that person had treated her well. Moreover, she was afraid that the reason for his disappearance had something to do with her.
They returned to the inn to wait. The sky had just turned dark when Baisu appeared in front of them.
"Master, there hasn't been much movement in the An family these days. However, both the main family and the branches have sent their daughters to the old mansion. "
Daughters? Could it be that they were going to a beauty pageant?
"Have you found out what An Ruchu is doing?"
"I'm not sure. We only know that he sends a horse carriage away every day. Sometimes the horse carriage is empty, and sometimes it's filled with goods. Anyway, he's very secretive. That's all we can find out. "
That was strange.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and asked.
"What goods are they carrying? Have you seen them?"
"Today's goods seem to be high-quality silk and satin."
The An family used to control the docks together with the Gong family. They made a lot of money from shipping.
Later on, although the business plummeted, there was no news of any silk business.
"Master, should we keep an eye on him?"
"No need. An Ruchu is cautious and astute. If we keep an eye on him, he'll be easily discovered. You just need to send someone to keep an eye on that horse carriage and see where they end up. "
Lin Mengya could not understand the actions of the An family.
But she was sure of one thing.
The An Clan would never allow themselves to be captured and allow themselves to fall from the clouds.
It seemed that she had to inform the Gong family to be on guard.
After leaving enough people to keep an eye on the An family, she was no longer in the mood to play.
Although there were some movements in the An family, overall, it was relatively quiet.
Thinking of this, she just wanted to return to the Gong family as soon as possible.
