Chapter 311: Going to Beijing, Hurrying
When Pei Yu found Shen Jingyuan, his hands were shaking. His body was covered in blood and it was obvious that he had been tortured.
Moreover, he had heard from Ali that his elder brother was born with supernatural powers. These people must have used some dirty tricks to capture him, otherwise the iron chains would not have been able to trap him.
Tianqing beside him quickly carried the man on his back and said, "Master, let's go first."
"it is good."
"An Yi, you stay here to clean up the mess. Keep quiet and remember to leave some people alive."
"Yes."
Among the attackers this time, one was the third prince of Tatar, who was of great use, so Pei Yu spoke out to remind him. However, based on what he had done, he would not live long.
……
Shen Li came to the front yard, where her parents lived. When she arrived, Shen Changshan was chopping wood, Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua were embroidering, and Shen Mochi was playing with toys nearby.
It was a very harmonious scene, but it reminded Shen Li of her elder brother whose life or death was uncertain. However, her expression was the same as usual, with no difference.
"Father, mother, sister-in-law."
"Ali is back!"
"Well, I spent a little longer in the store and came back a little late."
Lin Cuicui looked up at her. There was clearly no difference from usual, but she inexplicably felt something was wrong.
"Ali, did anything happen in the store today?"
Shen Li nodded. She didn't expect her mother to be so sensitive. She looked at the three people who became nervous in an instant and gave them a soothing smile.
"It's not a big deal. Shopkeeper Yang can handle it. Don't worry."
"That's good."
Shen Li spoke to them for a few more words before she told them her purpose.
"By the way, Dad and Mom, Pei Yu has something to do and wants me to go to the capital."
"Going to Beijing?"
The three asked in unison, with surprise on their faces.
Shen Li nodded, "Well, it's not a dangerous thing, Dad and Mom don't have to worry."
"The capital is too far away. Your parents will be worried if you go alone."
"I know, mother. If it weren't for Fourth Brother's upcoming provincial exam, I would have wanted to take you with me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her. Was Ali trying to change the subject?
"Ali, I've been having nightmares these past two days. Have you received any letter from Master Pei? Is your elder brother..."
Xu Taohua came back to her senses from her trance and asked about her doubts. She had originally planned to ask again in two days, but she didn't expect that Ali was leaving again.
Shen Li's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. It seemed that her sister-in-law had noticed something.
"No, don't think too much, sister-in-law. Didn't I tell you that dreams are the opposite of reality? I'll write a letter to Yu someday to ask about my brother's situation."
Lin Cuicui also put down the embroidery in her hand and took Xu Taohua's hand, "Yes, Taohua, don't worry."
"it is good."
After hearing what Shen Li and her mother-in-law said, she finally felt relieved.
Shen Li's expression didn't change at all throughout the whole process. Instead, when she heard Xu Taohua ask that question, she showed a hint of surprise on her face, and successfully fooled Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui.
"Mom and Dad, this matter is urgent. I have to leave tomorrow."
Lin Cuicui pulled her and said, "You just came back, why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"
"It's okay, Mom. I'm not the kind of person who would mistreat myself. You and Dad, just put your hearts at ease."
"Ugh!"
Lin Cuicui sighed heavily. Her daughter was a man of her word. She was a little worried about her and Pei Yucheng's life after marriage.
Both of them have strong personalities, but after marriage, one of them has to give in, and she naturally doesn't want the person who gives in to be her daughter.
"Mom is going to cook for you. I don't know how long it will take for her to come back."
"Okay, I'll help you. Once the problem is solved, I'll be back soon. Mom, just relax."
In the evening, Lin Cuicui prepared four dishes and a soup. After the family finished eating, Shen Li stayed with them for a while and was urged by Lin Cuicui to go back and rest.
"Dark Three."
Back in the room, Shen Li called An San out. The capital is a place full of powerful people, so it is best to understand the situation before going there to avoid being tricked.
"girl."
"I will be going to the capital tomorrow. Can you tell me what enemies your master has in the capital?"
"Yes, the master's enemies are..."
After listening to what he said, Shen Li couldn't help but pinched her brows. As expected, he was Pei Yu, and his ability to attract hatred was first-rate.
"Miss, I will go to the capital with you."
When Miss Shen went to Yizhou before, he did not follow her, hoping that his master would not know. Now that she is going to the capital, he has to follow her. If the prince finds out, he will definitely have to stay in the water dungeon for a while.
Thinking of the various feelings in the dungeon, my heart was pounding and I felt rejection in my heart.
"you……"
She was planning to let An San stay here. After all, she would be in the capital for quite some time and was not very confident about her family. But she did need someone who knew the capital well.
"If the girl is worried about her family, I can send a few people to protect them."
"Okay, then you can come with me tomorrow."
"Yes."
After washing up, Shen Li lay directly on the bed. She did not practice martial arts this time. She had not had a good rest for so long since she was out, so she decided to give herself a day off tonight.
The next morning, I walked out of the room carrying the luggage I brought back from Yizhou, went to the front yard to have breakfast with my parents, and then set off after breakfast.
After breakfast, Shen Changshan and his friends sent Shen Li to the door. The Lin family also came. After everyone exchanged greetings, Shen Li said, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt, you don't have to see me off. You should take care of yourself when I'm not at home."
"Ali, don't worry about us when you're out. Don't worry about your fourth brother. I'll talk to him some other day."
"Well, then I'm leaving."
Shen Li left as soon as she said she would. She swiftly mounted Chi Yan's back and, together with An San who was riding a horse beside her, quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Lin Cuicui sighed, Shen Changshan held her hand and invited his mother-in-law and her family in.
Shen Li only brought two sets of clothes and some food. Since they were skilled in martial arts, they didn't have to worry about food along the way. However, it was just the beginning of spring and there was a lot of rain, especially in the Jiangnan area. Before leaving Jiangnan, the two of them wore straw raincoats and traveled.
Fortunately, unlike the journey to Yizhou, which was full of bumps along the way, this time the journey to Beijing was very smooth. In addition, both of their horses were in good condition, and it only took ten days for the two to reach the capital.
It was evening when they arrived in the capital. An San looked at Shen Li and said, "Miss Shen, are you going directly to the Jingnan Palace?"
"First find an inn to rest, and then go to the Jingnan Palace at night."
"Yes."
Pei Yu was fighting in the north, and he was the only master in the Jingnan Palace. If he showed up in a swaggering manner now, he would definitely attract everyone's attention and become a sitting duck.
At that time, those who want to harm Pei Yu or steal his credit will turn their attention to Shen Li.
