It would take at least three days to travel from City of Yu to Prince Qing's Mansion.
In addition, Zuo Yuanyi deliberately delayed, so they were delayed for three days on the road.
Therefore, Lin Mengya and her companions rushed all the way. On the day when Prince Qing learned that she had sneaked into Yulong Prefecture, they were completely out of the territory of Yulong Prefecture.
Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuyu were exhausted after six consecutive days of traveling, let alone the horses and carriages.
Fortunately, the last city of Yulong Prefecture, Yuancheng, had turned into a shadow and was far behind them.
Lin Mengya, who had not had a good rest for six days, opened the curtain of the carriage. Her eyes were already covered with a large patch of greenish-black.
However, she was still in the carriage. At least she had a place to rest. Unlike Long Tianhao and his companions, whose greenish-black stubble had appeared, they all looked like they had been dug out from a pile of soil.
"How far do we have to go before we reach a safe place?"
Lin Mengya leaned out of the window and asked softly.
"In another half a day, we will reach Qingyuan County. The county governor there is a loyal servant of my brother. Prince Qing does not dare to impeach him easily. When we arrive there, we will be safe for the time being. "
Zuo Qiuyu, who had been following the carriage, answered in a low voice.
It was not a big deal to travel. The main thing was that they had to be alert at all times and be on guard against the sudden appearance of Prince Qing's men.
It was also Zuo Yuanyi's credit. Without him, they would not have escaped from Yulong Prefecture so smoothly.
Lin Mengya nodded. After leaving Yulong Prefecture, they were not far from the old capital.
It seemed that the selection of the Chief Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs was really a big deal.
Although Prince Qing had detained many people in private, there were many people passing through Yulong Prefecture and heading to the old capital.
According to Zuo Qiuyu, all the powerful families in the Nation of Lintian would definitely send representatives to participate in the medicine competition of the Pavilion of Herbs.
There were also many famous doctors and their disciples who wanted to make a name for themselves in this medicine competition.
There were also quite a number of people watching the show. There were even people who placed bets on who would be the winner of this year's gambling house.
Lin Mengya could not help but laugh. In the eyes of these people in power, the Pavilion of Herbs was not only related to the future and destiny of their families, but also to the distribution of power in the entire country.
However, in the eyes of the people, it was more like a grand gathering.
The horse, which had been guarding the city for six days, finally arrived at Qingyuan County at dusk.
Outside the city gates, the County Governor of Qingyuan Prefecture, who was dressed in official robes, was waiting for Prince Shen and Princess Anle with a large number of people and horses.
Lin Mengya, who had been rocking for days, finally stopped outside the city of Qingyuan Prefecture.
To be honest, although the coachman was very skilled, the shaking of the carriage for the past few days had almost dislocated her internal organs.
"I, Liu Xuan, the County Chief of Qingyuan County, welcome Prince Shen and Princess Anle!"
Outside the carriage, the young man's magnetic and solemn voice sounded like music to Lin Mengya's ears.
"Haha, Liu Xuan, I knew that you would come out to welcome me personally once you received the news. How was it? We haven't seen each other for so many years. I really miss you old friends! "
Seeing his good friend, Zuo Qiuyu's weariness turned into the excitement of seeing his old friend.
Lin Mengya was helped out of the carriage by Long Tianhao. She saw a fair-skinned, beardless young man frowning as he avoided Zuo Qiuyu's big hug.
"Your Highness, there's a difference in status."
Liu Xuan avoided Zuo Qiuyu calmly. His eyes were calm and did not hide his disgust at all. There was no respect in his words.
"Look at you, you're still so awkward! You're not a woman. What's there to be afraid of hugging? "
Zuo Qiuyu refused to let him off so easily. One thing was to see his old friend. However, this old friend had a bad habit of being clean.
Not to mention Zuo Qiuyu, even his brother, the emperor, would be ridiculed by this guy if he did not look clean.
Now that he had finally found an opportunity to teach him a lesson, how could he let it go so easily?
"Prince Shen, please conduct yourself with dignity!"
Liu Xuan looked at Zuo Qiuyu in disgust. His solemn expression was gone.
He dodged Zuo Qiuyu's attack more smoothly.
"Alas, they're both grown men! It's more appropriate to fight and wrestle with them! "
"Get lost!"
Lin Mengya watched the chase between the two men with interest.
One was shameless, while the other seemed to be a neat freak.
He really didn't know what these two big men were thinking. However, when this lively monkey show finally came to an end, Li Tianlan's eyes lit up.
Zuo Qiuyu, who was exhausted, was stepped on by Liu Xuan, who had been very calm.
Well, he seemed to have wiped the soles of his shoes.
Lin Mengya, who found it very interesting, finally received Liu Xuan's belated greeting.
"This way, Your Highness, this way, Prince Yu."
He had a faint smile on his face and was very polite. He was like a completely different person.
Lin Mengya nodded and followed Liu Xuan into the city.
Zuo Qiuyu, who was about to get up, was stepped on by Liu Xuan again.
Even Lin Mengya was speechless at how firmly he stepped on him.
How much hatred, no, how deep their relationship must be for him to give such a warm greeting gift!
The Nation of Lintian was divided into several prefectures, and there were seven or eight counties scattered within its territory.
The area of each county was larger than the city, but much smaller than the prefecture.
Qingyuan County was considered one of the best among them. Coincidentally, it was located between the old capital and Yulong Prefecture, which could be said to be the throat of these two places.
Because of this, the influence of the old capital could not be completely mixed up with Prince Qing.
Otherwise, there would be a mess of one country with two rulers.
Judging from the relationship between Liu Xuan and Zuo Qiuyu, he seemed to have a special relationship with Cousin Chen.
Liu Xuan's Qingyuan County was much better built than Prince Qing's Yulong Prefecture.
Not to mention other things, even the deployment of the streets was very orderly.
The city wasn't that big, but it was very orderly. Liu Xuan was also very dignified here.
Most of the passers-by would salute respectfully when they saw him. Then, when they walked past, they would go about their own business.
There was no gong to clear the way, and no one to clear the way.
Lin Mengya walked behind Liu Xuan and could not help but look at the person in front.
This person was not ordinary.
"Dear guests, you must be tired from the long journey. Please take a rest at the post station. I will come back later to welcome you. "
Liu Xuan cupped his hands and bowed. He was very polite to Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu.
After the two of them nodded in acknowledgment, Liu Xuan turned around, grabbed Zuo Qiuyu's collar and dragged him away.
While Zuo Qiuyu was howling like a pig being slaughtered, Lin Mengya smiled and waved her hand.
Sigh, she hoped that she could still see Cousin Yu alive tomorrow.
"Your Highness, the room is ready. Please follow me."
In the post station, pretty maidservants had already come out to welcome them.
Lin Mengya followed the maidservants to the second floor of the post station. After removing her dirty clothes, Lin Mengya immersed herself in the hot water.
"Sigh …"
Lin Mengya sighed comfortably. The warm water had relieved her of the fatigue of the past few days.
The two maidservants were very attentive to her service. Although Lin Mengya wanted to refuse, her back was sore and she had to slack off for a while.
After taking a bath and changing her clothes, Lin Mengya had returned to the room that Liu Xuan had prepared for them.
The room was spacious and the decorations were very elegant. There were no antiques or gold wares in the room, but there were many fresh flowers in full bloom that were carefully placed on the table in the corner.
Lin Mengya was very satisfied with the room after making her rounds.
"I didn't expect Lord Liu to be so considerate. Please thank him on my behalf."
Lin Mengya held a white magnolia in her hands. The refreshing aroma of the magnolia eased her tiredness.
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest early. We'll take our leave now."
The room was quiet and elegant. Even the maidservants were intelligent.
Lin Mengya really looked at Liu Xuan in a new light. Looking out of the window, it was already nightfall.
However, there were still people walking around in a hurry on the streets.
From time to time, there would be young ladies who seemed to be having a stroll outside, walking quickly in a certain direction in the city.
Perhaps they had forgotten the time because they were playing outside.
It was also because Qingyuan Prefecture was very peaceful and peaceful under Liu Xuan's rule. Otherwise, how could those young ladies walk around in the dark of the night so calmly?
All of a sudden, a clean towel was placed on Lin Mengya's head.
She turned around and saw Long Tianhao, who had washed up, standing behind her.
Although he had the same dark circles around his eyes and gray stubble like Zuo Qiuyu, he looked much more energetic than before.
"Do you have a dagger?"
Lin Mengya stretched out her snow-white hand and asked Long Tianhao.
Long Tianhao took out a dagger from his waist and placed it in her palm.
The brown leather scabbard gave off an ancient aura of vicissitudes.
Lin Mengya held the handle of the dagger and exerted a little force. In an instant, a sharp but pocket-sized dagger appeared in Lin Mengya's hand.
"Why do you use such a small dagger? The size of this dagger seems like a child's toy to you. "
Lin Mengya muttered to herself as she studied the dagger in her hand.
"I used this dagger when I was ten years old. I used it to kill a leopard."
Long Tianhao's tone was calm as if he was narrating something very ordinary.
How could a ten-year-old child use a dagger to kill a leopard?
Lin Mengya looked at the dagger in her hand curiously. It turned out that Long Tianhao's valiance had been evident since he was a child.
"I'm going to use this to kill a leopard in the future. Raise your head and I'll help you shave."
The dagger could easily break a hair. Lin Mengya had no choice but to use it gently for fear of cutting Long Tianhao's face.
Soon, the slightly hard stubble turned into a faint black shadow under the dagger's sharpness.
