He immediately got off the carriage to call others. Under his instruction, Gua Er knocked out the innkeeper. While tying the carriage, he asked: "Master Marquis, where are we going in the middle of the night?"

"Out of town."

Gua Er paused in his movements: "...ah?"

"What are you doing standing around," Gu Qingzhang urged him with disgust, "Time waits for no one, hurry up and hit the carriage - Oh, by the way, let the brothers leave some clothes and unimportant luggage at the inn, and try to go into battle as light as possible."

While the two were talking, a corner of the curtain of another carriage was lifted. Lin Chonghan leaned out half of his body and said, "Master Marquis, it's hard to walk in the dead of night. Please leave Mei Niang's coffin here."

Gu Qingzhang was startled and took a few steps closer to ask her: "Do you really want to stay here? There are many of us, so we can take advantage of the night to take them away."

"Take it where?" Lin Chonghan shook his head, "How to take it in the middle to cover up the traces. This is a difficult problem. It depends on what the Marquis does. He will never leave Bozhou without getting the account book."

What she said was reasonable. Gu Qingzhang was speechless for a moment. He scratched his hair and said, "I am the one who burdened you."

Lin Chonghan shook his head and said: "Now that the matter is over, we might as well just leave the coffin in Bozhou. I don't think the other party will do anything to a coffin."

"Must be taken away!"

Lin Shijing's voice suddenly sounded in the carriage. After speaking, he coughed heavily and said, "If Gu Qingzhang wants to return to Bozhou, Mei Niang's coffin must not be left here."

The two people outside the car looked at each other and quickly figured out the connection. If the coffin didn't leave, Fang Zhong would think that they were going back to Bozhou, and they would definitely set up a dragnet by then.

The matter was quickly finalized, and Gua Er and Gu Qingzhang's men worked extremely efficiently. The group carried the coffin to the city gate overnight.

The guards at the city gate were patrolling. When they saw the crowd, they said, "It's past the time to leave the city. You can come back tomorrow."

Gu Qingzhang was riding on his horse and casually threw a token to the guard. He deliberately said arrogantly: "There is no curfew in Bozhou, so why can't I leave the city? If it delays the princess' urgent business, I will arrive there

At that time, I directly asked Wei Fang Zhong!"

His sentence contained so much information that it made the guard dizzy.

"This - Lord Marquis, please forgive me. I will go and ask my superiors for instructions first."

"Go ahead." Even though Gu Qingzhang was extremely anxious at the moment, he didn't show any signs of it on his face, "If your superiors don't agree, then I'll have to ask Fang Zhong."

The guard came back not long after he left. While shouting at his companions to open the city gate, he humbly apologized to Gu Qingzhang.

"Forgive me, Lord Marquis, but I am a villain who cannot see Mount Tai."

Gu Qingzhang raised his riding whip and didn't even look at him. His face was still arrogant: "I'm sorry that you have fulfilled your duties. Let's not talk about this matter today."

The horse neighed and the horse's hooves splashed dust. The handsome and tall young man took the lead to leave Bozhou City, followed closely by the carriage in which Lin Chonghan and others were sitting. Gua Er and others carrying the coffin walked in silence at the end.

Lin Shijing went to two dinner parties in a row today. After the bumpy journey, his body was already not able to bear the pain. He weakly supported his forehead, put his fist to his lips and kept coughing.

After finally stopping his coughing, he asked Lin Chonghan: "Gu Qingzhang narrowly escaped death before returning from the south. Where did he get these men?"

Lin Chonghan was leaning against the wall, lifting the car curtain to look at the dark night outside. Today's experience was a bit strange to her. It was something she had never experienced in the capital for more than 20 years, which made her feel strange inexplicably.

Hearing her brother's words, she recalled Gu Qingzhang's men who were quiet, calm, and strict in their orders, and said casually: "The Gu family army has always been brave, and it looks like it should be the remnant of the Gu family army."

Lin Shijing stopped talking and closed his eyes to endure the bumpy journey. The carriage happened to pass through a particularly uneven road, and for a moment his internal organs seemed to be shaking.

——Damn it, when you get back, donate some money to build roads!

Because he was worried that Fang Zhong would send people to search near Haozhou City, Gu Qingzhang did not dare to stay longer. In addition, the situation in the entire Anqing Mansion was unclear, so they ran northward all night and could not stop until dawn.

Gu Qingzhang reined in his horse, but he was still in good spirits after spending the whole night. He patrolled around and found a small hillside nearby, with a lake on the back surrounded by the entire hillside. The location was secluded and suitable for rest.

Lin Chonghan sat down by the lake to breathe. She was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't notice a little girl lying on the big rock beside her, looking at her with her chin in her hands.

Suddenly, the little girl said abruptly: "You are so beautiful."

Qing Le walked up behind her and shook her head to stop her from talking nonsense. She smiled apologetically at Lin Chonghan: "The child is ignorant, please forgive me."

Lin Chonghan would not care about a child. Although she had not been able to conceive a child in the past five years, she still liked children in her heart. "Come here," she called the child over in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The little girl looked confused.

Gu Qingzhang paid attention to their conversation while drinking water. As his Adam's apple rolled, the water in the kettle quickly ran out. He twisted the kettle to wipe his mouth and took a few steps closer.

"It seems that Qingxiao didn't teach this child how to read." He casually stroked the child's head. "It must be because he is too busy. Child, does your sister have anything left for you?"

Sure enough, the little girl still shook her head in confusion, obviously not knowing what to ask.

Gu Qingzhang was not discouraged, but patiently talked to her about Qingxiao. When it came to Qingxiao, the child's tone was much smoother than before, and the narrative was clearer.

It's just that except for Qingxiao, she doesn't know anything else, let alone the account books.

While Gu Qingzhang was talking to her, Lin Chonghan took the initiative to express that he wanted Qing Le to accompany him for a walk. Since she had already spoken, Qing Le naturally agreed.

The two of them walked leisurely along the lakeside. Lin Chonghan seemed to be unable to see the anxiety in Qing Le's heart. She asked gently: "After this matter is over, what are your plans?"

Qingle pinched the corners of his clothes uneasily with both hands and forced a smile: "Young man is joking. People like me are as helpless as duckweeds everywhere, so what plans can we talk about?"

Lin Chonghan shook his head: "I know what Mr. Hou is like, and he will definitely restore you to your good status. When the world is so big, where can you go?"

Unknowingly, they had walked some distance away, and everyone could now see their backs, but could not hear their conversation.

Lin Shijing leaned on the tree, and the shade of the tree blocked him from the early morning sun. He squinted and looked at his sister's back, with a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

Lin Chonghan raised his head and looked at the lake in the distance, and said softly: "Half of the account book is with you, right?"
