C413 Secret Departure from the Capital

Seeing the crowd coming out of the carriage, the five carriage drivers quickly jumped off their horses and took out long stools next to the shaft of the carriage and placed them neatly beside the carriage. Then they lifted the curtain and waited for the crowd to get on the carriage.

Xu Xinghu only slightly turned around and made a gesture to invite everyone to get on the carriage. Then he suddenly sped up his footsteps and went into the huge horse carriage by the courtyard door, minding his own business. The carriage driver immediately shouted and drove out of the courtyard first. He saw the wheels rolling on the ground and making loud noises as if they could not bear the heavy burden. There were obviously many people sitting in the carriage or carrying a lot of heavy things.

Ren Dongming saw this and quickly followed up to call everyone to get on the carriage. He ordered the escort of the Escort Agency to take a bite of the carriage that Xu Xinghu was riding in from afar.

The six carriages turned on the street and immediately merged into the crowd of people. Like other carriages, they slowly moved forward. It seemed that there was nothing unusual. Without anyone noticing, they carried Du Qi and the others out of the capital.

Inside the carriage, Du Qi watched as the tall city walls slowly moved back. He could not help but feel emotional. He originally thought that he could enjoy the prosperity of the capital after entering the capital, but before he could catch his breath, he was involved in the gang fights in the capital. Because of this, he was too tired to deal with the running, and now he was forced to leave the capital before the matter was settled. Furthermore, he could not return to Xiangyang according to the original plan. He had to think about his own situation. He really agreed with the old saying, "When people are in the martial world, they cannot help themselves!" He saw Wen Wenya, who was sitting opposite him, hugging her. The ancient zither and Ma Yuxiao snuggled against each other as they fell asleep. Du Qi could not help but smile bitterly. Helplessly closing his eyes, he pretended to sleep to rest.

The six horse carriages drove out of the East Gate and onto the main road. Xu Xinghu's horse carriage suddenly sped up. It sped along the main road to the west, as if it was running away from something. Du Qi and the others were still in the five carriages heading east unhurriedly. It looked like they were leisurely walking. Anyone could guess that the people in the carriages must have nothing to do, so they had no choice but to spend their time on the road. A carriage like this was either on the main road or on its own. Or there were countless groups of people, so it would not attract anyone's attention at all. Unless someone knew who was in the carriage.

It was dark before they reached Tongzhou, and they drove straight into the courtyard of an inn.

Tongzhou was the north starting point of the Great canal in Beijing. It was towards the east gate of the capital, which was known as the eastern gate of the capital. All the grain, goods, and other goods that were transported to the capital by the waterway were transported here. They were transported to the capital by cars, horses, and other goods. It was a place where merchants gathered and goods were scattered. Due to its unique geographical environment, the inns here also had their own unique characteristics. There was a side courtyard for guests to park their carriages and other means of transportation on land. There was also a small dock for guests to dock small boats and other small waterways.

Before Du Qi and the others got out of the car, five or six waiters who had been waiting there to welcome the guests warmly surrounded them. One of the waiters asked politely, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please come in and rest! He did not know what room the guest wanted. He wanted to stay upstairs or downstairs. Where do you want to eat tonight? ... "

Ren Dongming seemed to be familiar with the situation here. Before the waiter finished speaking, he interrupted him and said, "Our young master likes peace and quiet. Open a clean and spacious courtyard for us. Money is not a problem!"

Hearing this, the servant who dressed the most neatly and had the most proper appearance quickly lined up the other waiters and squeezed in front of Ren Dongming to give a respectful bow. Pointing at the tunnel on the left, he said with a smile, "The first courtyard of the Heavenly Armor Academy meets your requirements the most. We will pass through this side courtyard in front of us. There is a pier at the back of the river, and it is clean and spacious. Please follow me, old man, young master, and young ladies! "

Ren Dongming was not moved by the servant's words. He said lightly, "Take us to see the location first. If it does not suit us, we will look for other places."

Although the servant said that he would ask Du Qi and the others to follow him, he stood there and did not move. He only turned around and led the way when he heard Ren Dongming's words.

The first courtyard of the Heavenly Armor Courtyard was a small courtyard. Flowers and trees were scattered in the courtyard. It was a beautiful scene. There were a total of three main rooms and four rooms. As the servant had said, it was clean and spacious. What was even more rare was that there was a pier in front of and behind the Lu Road. It seemed that there must be more than one inn like this, otherwise... The servant would never rent such an inn so easily, and it seemed like he was afraid that Ren Dongming would not accept it. It seemed that such an inn didn't have a unique characteristic.

Ren Dongming and the others naturally had no reason to be picky about such a courtyard crossing. Seeing that the servant was still standing there waiting for his reply, he looked around for a while before saying to the servant helplessly, "This place is still okay. You can go down first. We will call you when we have something to do!"

When the servant saw that Ren Dongming and the others had finally settled down, he could not help being overjoyed and said with some excitement, "Guests, please have a good rest. This lowly one will not disturb you anymore!" After saying that, the servant left happily.

From the servant's behavior, it was not difficult to tell that this place was the main road for guests to come and go. There were naturally many merchants and travelers who stayed here, but the business of the inn did not seem to be as good as people imagined. It could be seen that behind the flourishing scene, people did not live a comfortable life.

Du Qi and the others had stayed in the car ever since they got in the car. Along the way, they slept quite a bit. At this moment, they still felt a little listless and tired. When they saw the waiter leave, they closed the door of the yard. The rest of the people in the yard were their own people. Ma Yuxiao could not help stretching. She said in a lethargic manner, "Elder Ren, quickly distribute the rooms. I am still a little tired. Right now, I don't want anything. I just want to lie on the bed and sleep comfortably for a while."

Ren Dongming did not seem to hear Ma Yuxiao's words. He smiled lightly and said, "Please follow me!" Ren Dongming said as he pushed open the door of the main hall.

Perhaps because he was worried that the wall had ears, Ren Dongming did not call Hu Lai, Faang Xiuhui, Du Qi, and the others as he did this morning. This was the most normal thing, and no one noticed it. Only Faang Xiuhui felt that she had made a mistake, and she saw that everyone was following Ren Dongming to the main hall. She could not help but fiercely twist his thigh. Hu Lai did not understand the pain and could not help but look at Faang Xiuhui in a daze. He did not know what Faang Xiuhui's thoughts were. She saw Hu Lai looking at her and could not help but smile at Hu Lai. This smile was like the blooming of a hundred flowers, straight into Hu Lai's heart. A wonderful and strange feeling suddenly arose from the bottom of his heart, and it instantly drove away the slight pain and doubt that filled his heart. Hu Lai only felt extremely happy, and he hurriedly grabbed Faang Xiuhui's hand and followed closely behind everyone.
