Chapter 200 The Yun Family in the Capital, Shang Jingchuan Is Worried

The man sighed and said, "I understand, I'm just complaining!"

He looked up and looked outside the tent.

At this moment, the wind outside showed no sign of stopping, but it was getting stronger and stronger.

"In this horrible weather, I don't know if we can set off tomorrow, Lao Ding, how many days do you expect to reach the capital?"

"After passing Fengwei County, it is Yingtai County. After passing Yingtai County, we will enter the capital not far away." Lao Ding said.

"Alas, I really don't know if Yingtai County can be passed smoothly. If Lao Er really wants to stop me, he will definitely choose Yingtai County." The man sighed.

"I will fight to protect the young master." Lao Ding shouted.

The guards looked at each other and bowed their heads to express their opinions.

The man also bowed his hands very sincerely, "Then I'll trouble you all. I will definitely reward you after returning to the capital."

"Thank you, young master!"

Lao Ding left with the guards.

The man was the only one left in the tent. He sat alone in front of the candle, with a trace of worry on his face.

Just as Shang Luoluo guessed, he was a descendant of a noble family in the capital, and not just an ordinary one.

His name was Yun Yuan.

His family was the Yun family that had produced three prime ministers, two imperial tutors, and countless other ministers of various ministries.

The Yun family was once very prominent. Although its power has shrunk a lot with the decline of the imperial power of Dayan, it is still considered a top family in the capital.

And Yun Yuan was a direct descendant of the Yun family. His father was the fifth son of the old patriarch of the Yun family, and he was the eldest, with a younger brother and sister.

His mother was from the Lu family in Linhai County. Although she had passed away, her grandfather's family was very powerful.

With the combination of the two powerful families, one can imagine how prominent his origin was.

This time he left the capital and went to visit his grandfather's family in Linhai County, but not long after he arrived there, he received news that his father was seriously ill and dying, and he was asked to rush back immediately.

Upon hearing the news, Yun Yuan was naturally shocked. He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately set off for the capital.

The reason why he was so anxious was that his father was seriously ill and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.

But more importantly, he was worried that if his father died when he was not in the capital, there would be a lot of variables.

Although his grandfather, the old patriarch of the Yun family, was in charge, the old man Yun had always turned a blind eye to the power struggles among the lower branches.

As long as it did not involve human lives, he would not interfere.

Because in his opinion, the fighting was all his own descendants, and he would be biased if he favored either side. It would be better to stay out of it and not interfere.

Although his younger brother Yun Hao was born from a second marriage, he was also a legitimate member of the Yun family, and he and his mother's forces were in the capital, which was considered to be the best time and place.

So if his father died before he returned, Yun Hao would probably seize the control of this branch, and then his efforts would be in vain.

That's why he rushed to the capital day and night.

Although the journey was relatively safe, Yun Yuan knew very well that if Yun Hao really intended to seize power, he would definitely stop him on the way.

He wouldn't be hurt, but as long as he could hold him back, once his father died, it would be a done deal, and he would lose completely.

But he had no good solution for now, and could only pin his hopes on the guards given to him by his grandfather.

Except for Lao Ding and some ordinary servants who were brought out by Yun Yuan from the Yun family, those fourth-level warriors were given to him by his grandfather before he left.

This has become Yun Yuan's biggest reliance at the moment, otherwise he probably wouldn't even have the idea of ​​rushing back to fight for power.

This also shows how important it is to have a strong maternal relative.

As for what he said just now about letting Zhao Ya suffer after returning to the capital, it was just a show of his eloquence and a way to save face in front of the guards given by his grandfather.

The Yun family does have masters, many of whom are in the fifth realm, but how can he command them?

Unless he can successfully seize power and become the head of the fifth house, otherwise, he will gradually become a marginal figure like other idle children of noble families, and will be no different from a waste except eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

Yun Yuan naturally didn't want to live that kind of life.

He looked at the swaying candlelight and silently thought about what to do after returning to Beijing.

At the same time, on the posthouse, most of the pot of wine had gone into Shang Luoluo's stomach.

Because of the high alcohol content, although it was only a pot of wine, Shang Luoluo's face still flushed.

"It's time to go back!" Zhao Ya said when he saw this.

"Let's chat for a while, I'm not sleepy at all now." Shang Luoluo insisted on not leaving, and yawned after speaking.

Zhao Ya was at a loss for words when he saw this. "What else is there to talk about? And aren't you afraid that your father will find out that you didn't sleep in the room, but came here to drink with me?"

"No, no matter what I do, he will just grumble at me at most. Anyway, I've gotten used to it over the years and don't care at all." Shang Luoluo said carelessly.

Zhao Ya was a little silent.

In his contact with Shang Luoluo, he had never heard him mention his mother.

Zhao Ya had always tacitly not talked about these things.

But from Shang Luoluo's words now, he could still hear a hint of resentment.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's talk about you." Shang Luoluo took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"Talk about me? What can I say?" Zhao Ya said in surprise.

"There are too many things to say, such as what you experienced in Wuxiang City, and how you and Zui'er met and got together. I want to know all these." Shang Luoluo looked at Zhao Ya with a sharp gaze.

Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, since you want to know so much, I will briefly tell you."

So Zhao Ya began to tell the details of the past, and Shang Luoluo listened attentively, asking questions from time to time.

When talking about happy things, Shang Luoluo covered her mouth and smiled, and when hearing sad things, her expression was gloomy and she lowered her head and said nothing.

"Just like that, after I fought with Zhan Feng, I brought Zui'er to the county city..."

Zhao Ya's voice gradually became softer because he heard a faint snoring.

Looking back, he saw Shang Luoluo leaning against the wall, and he didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

Her sleeping posture was not very ladylike, her hair was scattered on her forehead, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, which made people feel pity.

Zhao Ya's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and then he quickly controlled himself and moved his eyes away from Shang Luoluo's face.

"Really, you insisted on drinking even though I told you not to. You must have drunk too much now!"

Zhao Ya muttered softly, then walked closer and gently picked up Shang Luoluo.

For Zhao Ya, Shang Luoluo's weight of less than 100 pounds was insignificant.

But somehow, after holding her in his arms, Zhao Ya still felt that his muscles were a little stiff, and he almost fell down when he fell down.

At the same time, Zhao Ya had to avoid the guards on duty, otherwise if they saw him carrying Shang Luoluo back, they would definitely have all kinds of misunderstandings.

It was not easy.

Zhao Ya sent the sleeping Shang Luoluo back to the house, put her next to Zui'er who was still sleeping soundly, and covered them with a quilt. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that his whole body was sweating.

But when he was relieved and walked out of the house through the back window, Shang Jingchuan's voice came from the side before his feet touched the ground.

"Is she drunk?"

Zhao Ya was almost startled. He looked back and saw Shang Jingchuan, who should have been sleeping in the next room, looking at him through the window.

Although he did nothing, Zhao Ya still felt guilty at this moment.

After all, staying up late at night and taking someone's daughter out to drink is something that no father can stand.

He nodded his head and said, "Well, I was a little drunk."

"Alas." Shang Jingchuan sighed faintly, and then looked at Zhao Ya with his eyes.

"Nothing happened?"

"Uh... No, no!"

Zhao Ya was stunned at first, and then he understood what Shang Jingchuan meant, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that nothing happened.

"In fact, it's nothing even if it happened." Shang Jingchuan said lightly.

Zhao Ya was completely numb.

Why do these father and daughter talk like this?

"I know this girl's character too well. Since she is willing to go out drinking with you alone, it proves that she has completely opened her heart to you."

Shang Jingchuan's face showed a lonely look when he said this.

"This girl lost her mother when she was young. I raised her. Although I tried my best to make up for it, I still owe her too much. So I hope you can be nicer to her in the future and don't bully her."

Zhao Ya was a little at a loss.

What is this?

The father-in-law's earnest teachings to the future son-in-law?

"Uh...Okay, I remember it." Zhao Ya nodded.

At this time, I can't say that nothing happened between me and your daughter, so don't say these things.

"Very good, and don't go out so late in the future. Although she has a crush on you and should not reject you, you have to consider her. No matter how urgent it is, you have to wait until you get married. Do you understand?"

Zhao Ya: "..."

After a few perfunctory words, Zhao Ya fled.

Looking at Zhao Ya's leaving back, Shang Jingchuan sighed again.

He was actually very satisfied with this future "son-in-law".

He looked good, had high martial arts skills, and most importantly, had a good character.

The only drawback was that his parents were gone, but he wouldn't have to suffer after Luoluo went there.

It seemed that he had to find a way to prepare a dowry. He only had this one daughter, so he couldn't be too shabby.

Shang Jingchuan didn't sleep all night, calculating how much dowry he could prepare for his daughter with his salary and savings, so that his eyes were dark when he woke up in the morning.

Shang Luoluo was completely unaware of all this.

When she woke up in the morning, she found herself lying on the bed, her clothes were not messy at all, she was covered with a quilt, and there was nothing wrong with her body, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Zhao Ya had really done something last night, wouldn't she be so ashamed now?

When she thought of the words she said after getting drunk, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

So when she saw Zhao Ya, her expression was still a little unnatural.

Zui'er was unaware of all this. She slept so soundly last night that she could not even hear the thunder, let alone Shang Luoluo sneaking out.

She just felt that Sister Luoluo was a little strange today, but she did not think much about it.

At this moment, after raging all night, the wind finally died down.

The sky was as blue as a wash, with no clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining all over the world.

Such good weather is naturally the best for traveling.

So Zhao Ya immediately asked people to unload the pot and set off.

While they were busy, Yunyuan was also packing up the camp.

Although they were a distance apart, Yunyuan could still see the situation in the post station.

When he saw the innocent Zui'er and the beautiful Shang Luo, even he, who thought he had seen the world, could not help but be stunned.

But he quickly moved his eyes away.

When you are out, it is a taboo to look at other people's women. If the fifth-level boy notices it, it will be another storm.

Besides, he is busy with many things now, and he is not in the mood to think about these things.

"Set off immediately and stay as far away from this caravan as possible." Yunyuan ordered.
