Chapter 62 Entering the Imperial Capital

  Hu Zhongren's face turned gloomy. He turned his body and left them. Hong Fei's words were always straightforward, without any reserve. Moreover, they were very insightful, hitting the nail on the head. However, analyzing someone like that in front of their face was unbearable.

  "Hong Fu said: 'Look, I was right, you're so angry and humiliated that you're leaving in a huff.'"

  Liu Qingqing felt that Hong Fei was unpretentious and natural, which suited her own temperament. Therefore, she said: "Sister's words are very right. I look a bit like Xiulian, so Hu Shaocai made great efforts to save me. However, who knows what will happen in the future? I haven't thought about what to do next yet, so let's just see how things go and not rush into thinking. You and I seem to be compatible, why don't we become sworn sisters?"

  Hong Fan was also delighted and exclaimed: "Great! I only have myself, no brothers or sisters. Now that I have you, I'm not lonely anymore."

  Liu Qingqing said, "You have your own reasons for asking me to take care of your parents. In fact, even if I were a nun, I wouldn't have to cut off my family ties. Those who gave birth to me are my parents, and we should still fulfill our filial duties. However, if you, sister, want to renounce worldly affairs and need me to take on the responsibility of taking care of your parents, I am more than willing."

  Hong Fu was overjoyed and hastily called the servant to bring incense, and the two of them became sworn sisters. When Xiao Liu came in, the two were already standing upright, and Liu Qingqing was also excited, "Xiao Liu sister, I and Hong Fu sister have become sworn sisters, from now on, you also have another sister."

  "Ah, that's great news! Let's have a drink to celebrate. Where's Hu Shao? Why isn't he here?"

  Hong Fu said: "I was angry with him and he stormed off."

  Xiaoliu was puzzled. Liu Qingqing said: "It's just that Hong'er sister saw through his thoughts, he felt embarrassed and left. We ate ourselves, he might be too embarrassed to come back."

  Three women, one show.

  Three people with no grudges against each other drank and chatted, getting to know each other's stories clearly. Hong Fu learned that Xiao Liu was the sister of Liu Qingqing, the adopted daughter of Liu Fengchun, and the fiancée of Yue Qianshan, as well as their complicated love story; Xiao Liu learned about Hong Fu's hardships, schemes, and today's heart like still water. Liu Qingqing also told them about her own experiences, except for the fact that she couldn't mention crossing over.

  Hong Feng heard that Liu Qingqing was planning to rescue Hu Shao's wives and Zhenzhen, so he said: "I can help you find Yang Liuqing in Jiangnan. He is afraid of me. Because he tempted my sister, I have taught him a lesson before. This time, he dares to be evil again, let's see how I will deal with him!" As he spoke, he took off a small sword from his body, "This will serve as a token, leave it for your sister. As long as she takes it out, the disciples of Cuimiao will definitely listen and help you with all their might."

  Hong Fu is already the leader of Cuimiao Mountain, and Yimeidao Nun wanders around the world. She entrusted everything in the mountain and the position of leader to Hong Fu, which is also the reason why Hong Fu cannot be with his parents again.

  Liu Qingqing was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Sister is going, of course I am the most at ease." She said, taking out her own jade Buddha, "This is for sister, we have sworn eight oaths and there's nothing else I can give to sister."

  Hong Fu Dao said: "How is this possible? Bi Yu Fo, you've already spoken of her magical abilities. I brought mine in vain, while yours can achieve great things. I won't accept it, but if sister truly wants to give it, then I'll humbly accept an object."

  Liu Qingqing said: "Sister, please speak, as long as I have it, there's nothing I won't agree to."

  "Hong Fu said: 'It's the divine artifact you held up in front of my house that shone so brightly.'"

  Liu Qingqing smiled, "What a divine artifact, it's just a handmade night pearl flashlight." She took it out and showed it to Hong Fu and Xiao Liu. After teaching them how to use it, she said, "Take it, it's very convenient to use at night."

  Hong Fu took it and couldn't help but praise it. Liu Qingqing said, "This is one of the three pearls that Hu Shao and I removed from our wedding headdress. I gave one to Ren Zhonghu, a good friend of mine. I have another one on me. Let's each have one."

  Three people drank a few more cups together, Hong Fu bid farewell, Liu Qingqing said: "Don't say goodbye to Hu Shao?"

  Hong Fu said: "There is no longer any husband and wife relationship between us, I just chased him to kill him, he must not want to see me, and I don't think it's necessary to see him either, so let's part ways here."

  Liu Qingqing and Xiao Liu escorted Hong Fu to the front door, where they saw two disciples of Cui Wei and eight bodyguards from the Hong mansion waiting anxiously outside. As soon as Hong Fu came out, the two disciples rushed forward to greet him, while the eight bodyguards dispersed around him to protect him.

  Liu Qing felt relieved.

  Hong Fu bowed to Xiao Liu and Liu Qingqing, then turned around and left with his entourage. Liu Qingqing yawned, "I didn't sleep all night, I'm so sleepy. It seems that I can only go to the car to sleep."

  They had already heard the sound of the carriage and horses, and then they heard Hu Shao whispering to the servant. Liu Qingqing and Xiao Liu knew that Hu Zhongren was going to set off at dawn.

  The two of them returned to Hu Zhongren's bedroom, packed their things, washed their faces, and without waiting for Hu Zhongren to summon them, they obediently got on the carriage.

  This time the lineup is strong. Hu Zhongren himself also sat in the car, with four bodyguards on each side of the front and back, holding sharp instruments, riding fine horses, protecting the carriage in the middle, heading towards Kyoto.

  Three people stepped into the territory of Kyoto, and the crowd began to gather. Hu Zhongren beckoned with his hand, and the bodyguards dismounted their horses. One of the bodyguards rode a horse, leading the other horses ahead, while the remaining people pretended to be merchants and accompanied them on both sides, taking turns protecting them, each one being well-trained.

  The road started to get lively. Liu Qingqing's active nature took over, and she got out of the carriage, sitting on the outer beam of the horse-drawn vehicle. She saw the prosperity of the big street. Isn't this Changchun Film City? Thinking so, she suddenly found it funny - this is ancient times! Hu Zhongren saw her eyes rolling around and couldn't help but hold her arm, asking "What are you thinking about? You're not here in Kyoto for the first time, are you?" Liu Qingqing thought to herself, I'm actually here in your dynasty for the first time, and didn't know how to respond, so she stuck her head out of the window to take a look.

  "Hu Zhongren said, 'Look at you peeking around like a little thief! What else have you got hidden in the car?'"

  "Yes, I'm the thief wife, and you're the thief husband. Are you satisfied now?" Liu Qingqing turned back with a playful smile, but unexpectedly, Hu Zhongren also followed her gaze towards the window. Liu Qingqing's lips lightly brushed against Hu Zhongren's handsome face, and her face immediately turned bright red, involuntarily letting out a soft cry.

  "I didn't even rape you, what are you yelling about!" Hu Zhongren moved closer to Liu Qingqing's face, his face full of evil intentions.

  "Hey, keep a distance, I'm cross-dressing as a guy now. If someone sees us, they'll think we're gay!"

  "What's homosexuality?" Hu Zhongren asked in confusion.

  "Is it just men loving men?" Liu Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled, thinking to herself that this dynasty probably still didn't know about homosexuality.

  "What's so special about me? Isn't it just a fondness for cutting sleeves, and isn't male beauty also a kind of beauty? What's wrong with liking men?"

  "Oh, you're quite open-minded, huh? Do you like men? Are you a double outlet?" Liu Qingqing asked with a sour tone.

  "What is a two-way socket?" What is a socket?

  It means both men and women like it, suitable for both males and females.

  "Don't worry, I only love women, and I only love you, this little demon." Hu Zhongren affectionately kissed Liu Qingqing's face. If it were in the past, who would have thought he'd say such sweet words? Little Liu heard Young Master's words and knew how much Hu Shao loved this woman. Her heart felt a pang, did her own husband, Yue Qianshan, still love her as deeply as Liu Qingqing said?

  Outside, two people were talking, and suddenly a three-story magnificent building flashed in front of them. "What place is this? So lively?" Liu Qingqing looked at the majestic building and muttered the sign on top: "Welcome - Guest - Building".

  "Indeed, the young lady of the Liu family doesn't even recognize her own family's business, no wonder she's exposed herself." Hu Zhongren teased, "Your Liu family mainly operates inns and hotels, Yingbin Building is a national chain restaurant, if you want to pretend, you should do your homework first."

  It turned out that way, "Our family is big and prosperous, what's new? Besides, Little Liu sister is actually the adopted daughter of Liu Fengchun, they have nothing to do with me at all." Liu Qingqing blinked her lively eyes, speaking cleverly, but in her heart, she was also wondering if Qingyang and Qingyuan had returned or not.

  Just as they were thinking, the carriage stopped. A man stood in front of the carriage and said: "Young master, you've arrived, give me the carriage." This person was actually Chen Bo. The two got off the carriage, Chen Bo drove it away, and Liu Qingqing saw that they were behind a large estate.

  "This is our silk store in the capital. Hu's Silk Store, it's also a national chain of old brands, I'm still worthy of you, young lady. Let's go inside and take a look." Hu Zhongren took a step forward, Liu Qingqing quickly ran up to him, wrapped her arms around his arm, and Hu Zhongren laughed, "Who walks like this with their arms around someone?"

  "I'm asking you to wait a bit, sister. Besides, it's not like you have leg problems, what's wrong with me supporting you?"

  Liu Qingqing didn't want to let him go. Hu Zhongren smiled and looked at Liu Qingqing, "You dare to stir up a beehive, beat a vicious dog, drive away the water, and even venture into the vast ocean of Hanhai country. What else are you afraid of?" Liu Qingqing was taken aback, "How did you know all this again?"

  "Right! Don't forget I'm the Lord of Blue Lantern!" Hu Zhongren teased. Seeing Xiao Liu following behind him, the two of them also stepped forward.

  "Yes, you know everything that's going on in the world, even which concubine the Emperor is sleeping with tonight, right?" Liu Qingqing said with a flourish, gloating about how good she was at this.

  Hu Zhongren said, "I'm not a thief who steals secrets by listening to walls. How can I eavesdrop on people's privacy? I just accidentally overheard some things." This is also a drawback, Blue Lamp reports everything in detail, and has to say it clearly, regardless of whether the other person is male or female, or whether they can accept the content provided.

  "Oh," Liu Qingqing playfully kissed Hu Zhongren's forehead, feeling a surge of emotion. "You came to rescue me from thousands of miles away, even though I didn't need it, but knowing the hardships you've endured, I secretly vowed: 'I must rescue the ladies and repay your kindness.'"

  "That's all you're going to say? That's too perfunctory." Hu Zhongren said with a sneer.

  "Do you want it or not!" Liu Qingqing quickly ran forward, but Hu Zhongren pulled her back and deeply kissed her lips. Liu Qingqing felt dizzy and didn't know what to do. She only felt numb all over and could only lean softly on Hu Zhongren's body. Xiao Liu was stunned and stood there foolishly.
