Chapter 236: Evading Pursuit and Traveling at Night by Waterway
Fu Rongyue was stunned by this question, yes, even Mi Yin and Wei Mingxi didn't check the news, how did Wei Mingzheng know about it?
However, she didn't intend to answer this question, she pondered for a moment and ordered: "You go and check on Wei Mingzheng, I want to know everything about him." โ
"Yes. "Secrets are not stupid, they look at words and looks, and they already know the answer in their hearts.
After Mi Yin left, Fu Rongyue burned Wei Mingzheng's letter to ashes on the candle flame, and with the bottom in her heart, she calmly planned to get out of danger and waited for Wei Mingxi to come back. Wei Mingxi has been gone for a long time, and it took him more than an hour before he jumped in through the window, and the first thing he said was: "Wei Mingzheng's news is true." Fu Rongyue nodded, and he said again: "The person who wants to do it outside the Changmen Pass is not a person from Dawei, but the Chimeng royal family, and the leader is Yelulie, the seventh prince of Chimeng. This man is thoughtful, treacherous and cunning, my fourth brother once fought him on the battlefield, let's be careful. โ
"Why have you been there for so long, are you in danger on the way?" Fu Rongyue sniffled and smelled the smell of medicine emanating from his body.
Wei Mingxi shook his head: "The dark guard also happened to send the news, and I asked in detail, so it was delayed a little." In the end, I changed the medicine on my leg, I was afraid that you would wait for a long time and rush over. โ
"Stupid!" Fu Rongyue couldn't help but sigh.
Wei Mingxi didn't hear clearly: "Who are you talking about?"
Fu Rongyue raised her eyes, her eyes were clear, and she smiled a little: "It's nothing." By the way, Mingxi, what are we going to do this time, we can't pass the long gate, right?"
This is the only way to go to the Northwest Changmen Pass, if you don't go, Rao Baishui Pass, the distance will be doubled. Yelulie had calculated their itinerary and waited here on purpose, and it seemed that it was inevitable.
Wei Mingxi tapped lightly on the table, thought for a moment, took out the map, pointed to one of the points, and said, "Let's go here." โ
"Yide Town?" Fu Rongyue raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Yide Town is surrounded by mountains, unless we have wings, don't think about flying over!"
"Who said that Yide Town is surrounded by mountains?" Wei Mingxi chuckled: "Look here." โ
Wei Mingxi's finger fell on a river between the two mountains, and seeing that Fu Rongyue was really strange, he explained: "This place is called Tigger Stream, it is a river, you see the direction of the river, it just bypasses the Changmen Pass, flows to the Huangshui outside the Changmen Pass, and joins the Huangshui here." โ
"Do you mean, when we arrive at Yide Town, abandon the land route and take the waterway, pass through the Tigger Stream to Huangshui, and then go to the northwest from Huangshui to the northwest?" Fu Rongyue understood.
Wei Mingxi nodded: "That's it." However, we move quickly, since Yelulie can set up an ambush outside the Changmen Pass, if he is smart enough, he will definitely set up an ambush on the Huangshui. โ
"Perhaps, he is not familiar with the terrain of the Central Plains?" Fu Rongyue asked.
Wei Mingxi glanced at her helplessly, as if he was defeated by her innocent appearance, and showed a helpless expression: "Fool, if Great Wei wants to attack Chimeng and let you lead the troops, will you go unprepared? โ
"Have you seen Yelulie?" Fu Rongyue became curious.
Wei Mingxi shook his head: "I haven't seen me, but I've seen his portrait." This person's face is indifferent, and his eyes can see through the paper that he is decisive in killing, which is indeed not simple. โ
"If that's the case, we must be careful, and we must not let him find out about it. Fu Rongyue cautiously lowered her head to study the map, her mind turned sharply, and she mobilized all her thoughts to think of a solution strategy.
Wei Mingxi was also moved when he saw her focused appearance, and pulled her over to sit on his lap before saying: "Don't worry, putting all the success or failure on the negligence of the opponent is definitely not my Wei Mingxi's style." I had already thought about it on the way when I came, and I asked people to start preparing, so that we could pass the Changmen Pass safely and arrive in the northwest smoothly without a trace of accidents. โ
"Are you crazy?!" Fu Rongyue jumped up from his lap and glared at him angrily: "Do you still want your legs?"
This person is really going crazy, he has just been reborn with broken bones and changed the medicine, and he dares to toss like this.
Wei Mingxi looked at her with his forehead pursed, and a cheerful smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth: "If I'm crazy, it's also because of you, this is called the death of the peony flower, and the ghost is also romantic!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Fu Rongyue was angry again, and was amused by his casual posture, and there was no anger when he said this.
During this period of time, Wei Mingxi has really become more and more faceless and skinless, and she is like the indifferent prince when she first met. Thinking of the first time we met in the dark night, his indifferent gaze and cold words, and then looking at the eyebrows and eyes that are always smiling, Fu Rongyue is a little unable to tell which one is the real him!
remembered that Mei Xiangrong said that when Wei Mingxi had not crippled his legs, he was also a cheerful and smiling prince, smart and generous, and deeply loved by Emperor Shou and Concubine Hui, perhaps, a little ruffian appearance is his original face?
Fu Rongyue couldn't help but feel distressed, he had been living with a mask all these years, it was really hard for him!
Sensing Fu Rongyue's sudden change in gaze, Wei Mingxi's smile slowly froze, and he leaned over slightly and put his hand on Fu Rongyue's eyes.
There was darkness in front of him, and Wei Mingxi's voice suddenly came like a mist, and he said, "Rong Yue, don't look at me with such eyes. I can't help it!"
"Well, what can't you help it?" Fu Rongyue wondered.
Wei Mingxi's tone was smiling, but the smile was a little cold and sad: "I can't help but think too much." โ
Fu Rongyue didn't speak, her eyes were dark, but her heart was unprecedentedly transparent. Is Wei Mingxi afraid that he will decide to stay by his side because he can't distinguish between sympathy and liking? Since he was a child, he may have felt too much pity, and he no longer hopes that others will trample on his self-esteem with such eyes and remind him of his unbearableness, right? In fact, Wei Mingxi also hides such fragility in his heart...... She once thought that he was a man of steel!
Fu Rongyue raised her hand to cover Wei Mingxi's hand, and her palm was warm, making Wei Mingxi tremble slightly.
She said word by word: "Mingxi, I have always believed that you will give the world a peaceful and prosperous world! I believe in you, and you must also believe in yourself!"
Wei Mingxi didn't speak, and it took a long time before she let go of the hand covering her eyes and kissed her overwhelmingly......
It took only four days to get to the vicinity of Nagato Pass from Kyoto, two days faster than expected. When they arrived at Yide Town, the nearest city of Changmen Pass, the convoy entered the post house, and Fu Rongyue ordered all the personnel to follow Wei Mingxi's plan, bring important items, and put on the clothes of the flat-headed people, and even didn't want the carriage, and set off to the ferry overnight and got on the boat to Huangshui.
The reason why the road from Tigger Stream to Huangshui is not noticed by everyone is that there is a section of the road that is particularly dangerous, and inexperienced boatmen are often prone to capsizing. Legend has it that this is a place where even tigers can't cross it, hence the name.
As soon as they arrived on the ship, the boatman gave everyone a lot of oiled paper cloth and told everyone to wrap up all their valuables before setting sail.
The first break was quite smooth, in the middle of the night, the hull of the ship shook suddenly, accompanied by a terrible clang, Pothos and Mei Shan accompanied Fu Rongyue, hearing this voice, Pothos couldn't help frowning and said: "There are a lot of reefs under the water, hit it here, I'm afraid I can't cross this bend, and the boat will be knocked apart." When the time comes, we'll all fall into the water, and we'll be in trouble. โ
Mei Shan didn't know how to water, and was a little seasick, at this time she grabbed the side of the boat with a white face and tried to endure the nausea, and couldn't help but say: "I'd rather be in the water, the taste on this boat is not good at all." โ
"In this winter, your skin is rough and your flesh is thick and you can stand the cold, but Miss can't. The green pothos glanced at her: "If the young lady falls into the water, I will blame you for this crow's mouth." โ
These words frightened Mei Shan and hurriedly covered her mouth, not daring to say another word.
Fu Rongyue also rarely takes a boat, only when she was a child playing with her friends in Fengxi, she asked Zhan Da Niu to row and take her to play a few times, but she really didn't like the rickety feeling, and she wasn't used to it, only slightly better than Mei Shan.
"Will the boat disperse?" she listened to Pothos's words, her eyes flashing with deep worry.
Wei Mingxi didn't go with her, for the sake of this plan, he also let go, at this time he was doing a trick on the boat behind her, he was a person who grew up near the water and was not suitable for such a violently shaking boat, Wei Mingxi could stand it? I don't know what happened to him at this moment!
Green pothos heard the panic in her words, and secretly hated that she shouldn't have said something like that, just six gods and no owner, Lu Qiao came back from the deck, heard the conversation of several people, and hurriedly comforted softly: "Miss, don't panic, the slave maid took a closer look before we got on the boat, this boat is probably for running such a waterway, and the bottom of the boat has been reinforced with iron plates all around, so it should not be easy to disperse." Moreover, His Highness has just passed the word, and after the big bay in front, the water will be calm, and when the time comes, we will change to a brisk disembarkation to go to Huangshui, then it will not be so uncomfortable. โ
Fu Rongyue nodded, I don't know if it was Lu Qiao's words that worked or what, I really felt that it wasn't so messy.
As Lu Qiao said, the ship was sturdy, and after a few violent impacts, people were almost thrown to the ground, but the boat was still very stable, and after the last big bump, the hull of the ship shook, and finally calmed down.
Lu Qiao went out to take a look, and came back after a while, and said with a surprise on her face: "Miss, the dangerous beach has passed, and we are safe." โ
Fu Rongyue let out a long sigh of relief.
The boat arrived at a small island, and there were really a lot of clippers parked here, and the boatman let everyone get off the boat, and drove the boat straight to continue walking, Fu Rongyue and the others changed the fast boat and went to Huangshui as fast as possible.
Rushing like this, by the next morning, when the fog on the water surface dissipated, Fu Rongyue had quietly crossed the Changmen Pass and passed the dangerous area safely.
Wei Mingxi arranged it well, and there were people on the ferry to answer it, and everyone changed into fast horses and galloped all the way to the northwest.
