Chapter 324 No need. I believe in your judgment of people.
When Dong Zang arrived, he covered his chest with one hand, gasping for breath, and muttered to himself, "Thank God, I finally caught up with him. If I had run a few more miles like this, I'm afraid I would have died here."
After calming down his rapid breathing, Dong Zang quickly reached out and took the whip from Yun Teng and continued to drive the carriage forward.
Seeing this, Yun Teng naturally did not dare to rush into the car and disturb his two masters, so he turned around and sat aside with Yun Shuang.
Inside the spacious and comfortable carriage, Cheng Yuheng held Yun Duo's hand and asked her to sit opposite him, gazing at her affectionately in his eyes.
Facing Cheng Yuheng's burning gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly. In order to ease the ambiguous atmosphere in the car, she took a deep breath and began to tell the reason why she went to the capital and how she drove to meet him. Throughout the process, Yun Duo told all the details without reservation.
When she mentioned encountering a killer on the road, he unconsciously clenched his hands with a nervous ache. Yun Duo frowned slightly when he felt the pain in his hands, and only then did he realize it and loosen his hands a little.
After she told him about her experiences along the way and her settlement in the Veterans Village, Yun Duo then explained the reason why she came to pick him up.
At this point, Yun Duo sighed softly: "I wonder if the emperor would punish my grandfather for deceiving the emperor if he finds out that I don't have a long-distance megaphone and I used this method to pick you up."
Cheng Yuheng looked at Yun Duo's frowning and worried expression and comforted her softly: "Don't worry! Nothing will happen as long as I'm here."
Yun Duo nodded, and she paused for a moment, as if she was a little hesitant about whether to continue. But in the end, she made up her mind, leaned forward to get closer to Cheng Yuheng, and then gently leaned over to his ear, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, she told him about the Queen and the purpose of coming to pick him up.
At first, when Cheng Yuheng learned that the emperor had ordered him to return to the capital as soon as possible, his handsome face did not show the slightest sign of urgency, and he remained as calm and composed as usual.
When Yun Duo mentioned the Queen, his expression changed drastically. He stared at Yun Duo with eyes wide open in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly, and asked anxiously: "Duo'er, is what you said... true? Mother... is still alive?" His voice was full of surprise and doubt, as if he couldn't believe the shocking news he heard.
"Yuheng, this is a secret. Grandpa told me in a special way. You should arrange everything here as soon as possible and return to Beijing with me. The sooner we return, the more prepared we will be, and the more hope there will be for the Queen to recover. If it weren't for you, my grandfather wouldn't have risked exposing my secret to let me pick you up."
Yun Duo thought: She is not the type of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. She should let him know what she has done for him. If one day he becomes emperor and she and her family are unfortunately suspected by others, maybe they will remember their help today and show mercy to them!
The news that Yun Duo brought to her made her understand many things in an instant.
Looking back over the years, he had been able to hide safely in this small Yunjia Village and successfully develop and cultivate his own huge force without being noticed by anyone.
Now that he thought about it, it turned out that his father had been behind the scenes, silently removing all obstacles and thorns for him.
When Yun Duo finished telling all this, Cheng Yuheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He knew very well that under the current tense and complicated situation, if he wanted to make more appropriate and comprehensive deployments and arrangements, he must return to the capital as soon as possible.
Although, relying on the manpower he had carefully placed in the capital before, it might be enough to deal with the current situation.
However, when he thought of the personal safety of his mother and all the matters his father had placed high hopes on him and had planned for them over the years, he felt that there could be no delay or hesitation at all.
Because only if he returns to the capital in person can he truly take control of the overall situation and ensure that everything is foolproof.
"Okay, once we get to Yanqi City, I'll make some arrangements and we'll return to Beijing tonight."
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived in Yanqi City. The carriage drove to "Jin Ke Lai" and Qiu Harvest was already waiting there.
Cheng Yuheng brought Yun Duo to his private room in Jinkelai, asked her to have a good rest, and went out to make arrangements.
Cheng Yuheng had dinner delivered to the room.
"Duo'er, eat more. Have you not eaten well recently? You have lost weight." Cheng Yuheng filled Yun Duo's bowl with Yun Duo's favorite food.
"Okay, that's enough. If you add more, you won't be able to finish it."
"Eat more. After dinner we will set off overnight."
Yun Duo was eating when she suddenly thought of something: "Yuheng, since Yanqi City is already in your hands, shall I leave some of the food in the space for you? In addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops sent by the emperor on the way, food is essential. It is time-consuming and laborious to mobilize them elsewhere. It can save some effort to send them to the border from Yanqi City."
"Okay, then keep half of it! Keep the rest in your space in case you need it.
Everything has been arranged here and the sky is gradually getting dark.
When they arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. Qiu Shou took out the token. The gatekeeper did not dare to be negligent when he saw the jade pendant, and hurriedly opened the city gate to let them out of the city.
About half an hour after leaving the city, the night had completely fallen, as thick as insoluble ink, dyeing the entire world in darkness.
The road was empty, without a single pedestrian in sight. Only the occasional night breeze blew up a few fallen leaves, making a slight rustling sound.
Yun Teng slowly stopped the carriage at the location Yun Duo had specified in advance. "Master, we have arrived at the location you specified," she said respectfully.
Yun Duo got off the carriage lightly and quickly scanned the surroundings.
Qiushou and Dongzang, who were riding horses, dismounted and stood there quietly, followed by Zhuifeng.
Looking at the people in front of her, Yun Duo thought to herself: There are six of them in total. If they were to sit in her own "G-Class", it would probably be a bit crowded. She thought about driving her grandmother's "business car" so that everyone could sit more spaciously.
At this moment, Cheng Yuheng, who had been staring at Yun Duo, noticed the hesitation on her face.
He mistakenly thought that Yun Duo was worried that Qiu Shoudong Zang and the others would reveal the secret of her space.
So, Cheng Yuheng quickly said: "Duo'er, if you are not sure about Qiushou and Dongzang, I can give them to you, so that you can implant your loyalty device in them as well."
"No need, I trust your judgment of people."
Yun Duo's trust pleased Cheng Yuheng. I smiled slightly and looked at Yun Duo affectionately.
Yun Duo looked at the love in Cheng Yuheng's eyes. She really couldn't understand how a little girl like her could catch the eye of such an arrogant man like Cheng Yuheng.
At that time, he even suspected that Cheng Yuheng was nice to her because he discovered her space and there were so many good things in the space.
But in order to make him feel at ease, this man put most of his assets into his space, and even gave him such an important item as his personal seal.
Therefore, in the face of Cheng Yuheng's passionate love, she accepted it completely while also putting a lock on the door of her heart to prevent herself from falling too deeply in love. As long as she still had some reservations, when that day really came, she would not be so deeply trapped that she could not extricate herself.
