Chapter Ninety-One: Meeting on the Road
On the side of the official road that was about to reach Yincheng, Yao Ling came to the grass that Fengzhao picked up and stood silently for a long time, at this time it was already sunset, the winter in the south was still warm and charming, all the way to the south, the warmer and warmer the journey was not so difficult and bitter. After some sadness, she rode away, the bell on her body tinking with the jolting of the horse.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, but Yaoling didn't plan to stay in Yincheng, she slept in the open and picked up the path along the way, and hurried to get to the valley where Mr. Ghost lived early. At this time, there are not many pedestrians on the road in Yincheng, and occasionally a few long-distance horses and vehicles pass by, but they are all looking for hotels to stay. She was going to get out of Yincheng before the city gates closed, and at the current rate, it was expected that it would be another night's journey to reach Yanjing.
A pale pink brocade skirt fluttered on the red and brown horse, the bells jingled, and the pedestrians on the roadside stopped to watch. It was already dark when she got out of the city gate, and she beat her horse and quickened herself.
The moonlight shines like water for thousands of miles, she has no time to take care of this beautiful night, there is a speeding carriage in front of her, presumably also a person in a hurry, as soon as she pulls the reins of the horse, she turns from the side of the path, this path to Yanjing is specially for walking travelers to Yanjing.
"Yao Ling" a faint and gentle call.
With a soft snort, she reined in the galloping horse, and stood in the wilderness, looking around, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, the night was soft, and there was no figure to be seen. Didn't you hear it wrong? He tugged at his ear with his hand. At this moment, there was a faint call from the side: "Yao Ling"
She hurriedly turned her head sideways, and a white figure suddenly appeared not far in front of her. Slowly walking towards her in the moonlit night.
"Moonlight," she immediately cried out with joy, and dismounted with a flick of her stirrup.
It was Yueming who came in front, he galloped all the way in the carriage, and he couldn't pass the store, but the carriage was on the official road, and the speed was far from catching up with the speed of Yaoling's single horse, just now, he was napping in the carriage, and suddenly there was a faint sound of bells in his ears, at first he thought that he was missing Yaoling, but the bell was getting closer and closer, and suddenly he went to the side, and his mind moved, and he called softly. Sure enough, with a woman's soft drink, the bell stopped. There was a burst of surprise in his heart, his figure flashed, and with another light call, he came to Yaoling.
The two walked together, said the word "you" in unison, but both stopped, looked at each other and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After a while, Yueming asked, "Why did you get here?"
"I'm going back to the mountain to find the master and ask Xiaofeng about that mysterious person. Yaoling replied happily. By the way, she asked Yueming again: "You have been gone for so many days, why did you come here?"
Under the moonlight, I looked at the Yao Ling in front of me, and there was a star-like brilliance in the moonlight's eyes. "I've been on official roads all the way, and the speed of the carriage can't be compared to that of your horse-worn. With the eyes of the royal descendants, he has already seen that the horse in Yaoling's hand is a thousand-mile horse.
Hearing Yueming say this, Yaoling pursed her lips and smiled a little proudly.
"It was given to you by the Great Dragon Emperor?" Yueming stroked the bridge of the horse's nose with her hand and asked softly.
"Yes," Yaoling nodded.
looked at Yaoling again, saw the dust on her body, didn't have to think about it to know her hardships along the way, a touch of pity crossed the eyes of the moon, and it was fleeting in the moonlit night. "It's almost time to arrive in Yanjing, come with me in the car. After that, he took the reins of the horse in Yaoling's hand, and without asking Yaoling's consent, he walked towards the official road.
Seeing the figure of him leading the horse, Yaoling was slightly stunned, and then quickly followed.
Two days later, the two of them arrived in Yanjing, Yueming entered the palace, and Yaoling naturally returned to the Ningjun Palace.
After resting for two days, after seeing her uncle, she set off for Xiwu again, and when she left, Yueming rode a horse and sent her far away. In the end, looking at Yaoling's back as she walked away, the moon returned abruptly, and at that moment the morning glow covered the sky.
"Grandpa Ghost, you tell me, who is that mysterious person?" Ten days later, Yaoling returned to the valley where Mr. Ghost and Mrs. Jinling lived. At this moment, she was entangled next to Mr. Ghost Spirit, who looked like a ghost, and kept asking.
"You ghost girl, I'll just say how you have such a good heart, and you came all the way back to see me. The small, shrewd ghost gentleman said angrily, tapping his finger on her forehead.
"Master. Yao Ling pulled the arm of a beautiful woman who was sitting on a chair in the room, dressed in a pale red palace dress, and tied a carmine brocade decorated with bells around her waist, and swayed coquettishly. This beautiful woman is the legendary Lady Jinling.
She lovingly stretched out a hand and patted Yaoling's slender hand and said, "Your ghost grandpa doesn't say it, there is a reason why he doesn't say it, so don't force him." ”
"Master," Yaoling called again, "Okay, okay, it's not easy to come back once, Master will make you something to eat." "
The scenery in the valley is pleasant, but Yaoling is not in the mood at all, "Why doesn't Master tell the identity of the mysterious person?"
This valley is located in the southernmost part of Xiwu, the four seasons are like spring, the scenery is charming, and all the surrounding are mountains, the mountains are dangerous, and the main road into the valley during the period is extremely mysterious hidden by Mrs. Jinling, so outsiders do not know that there is such a valley.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and you didn't have to guess that it was Mr. Ghost. Yaoling deliberately pretended to ignore him and didn't turn her head to look at him.
"Girl, are you angry with Grandpa Ghost?" said Mr. Ghost with a smile on his face.
Yao Ling turned her head and deliberately ignored Mr. Ghost.
Mr. Ghost Spirit leaned in towards Yaoling and said, "Girl, it's not that grandpa doesn't say it, but grandpa can't participate in that kid's housework." ”
"There are many things that cannot be explained in a few words. He looked aggrieved.
"But grandpa, you don't have to tell me who that mysterious person is, but can you tell me how you can enter the mysterious man's dwelling in the palace at will?
"You kid, that's it, I'll just tell you about that place, which is the Feng Clan's ancestral hall. Grandpa can only sue you so much. Mr. Ghost looked helpless. "What?" Yaoling was shocked. If it is the Feng Clan's ancestral hall, Xiao Feng has no reason not to know.
"But why are you able to go in?" she asked as she looked at Mr. Ghost, who was about to leave, and was about to leave.
Mr. Ghost smiled mysteriously, "Guess what. ”
"Sue that boy, be patient, his parents are not ordinary people, even if he is not capable, his father and mother will definitely be reunited with him. And it's going to be soon, if you want to know anything, just wait until the night before the New Year's festival to go there, and with that kid's kung fu won't be discovered. Mr. Ghost's last words came from afar.
"Ling'er, won't you accompany the master more?" asked Mrs. Jinling, pretending to be annoyed, to Yaoling, who was preparing the horses. She is quite different in age from Mr. Ghost, and she is well-maintained, so she only looks like she is in her thirties. Therefore, Yao Ling called her a master, and Mr. Ghost Ling a grandfather.
Hanging the package on the horse's back, Yaoling took Mrs. Jinling's arm and said to her delicately: "Master, after I help Xiaofeng reunite with his parents, I will come back to live here with you and Grandpa Ghost, and I won't go anywhere." ”
"Hmph, that kid has a big heart, after you help him, if you don't come back, then when you live alone in the huge palace and cry, no one will help you. Mr. Ghost on the side came out of nowhere.
"Grandpa, if you talk nonsense, I'll ignore you. Yao Ling pouted and looked unhappy, this ghost spirit always makes people feel confused when he speaks.
"Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense, I" paused a little and then said: "It's time for the Feng family to produce such a talent who dominates the world. Before Yao Ling could react, his thin body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Yaoling was slightly stunned, "Ling'er, listen to the master's words, and if you are unhappy in the future, you must come back and tell the master." The master has no children, and only treats you as his own daughter, and I don't want you to be unhappy. Mrs. Jinling's eyes were full of reluctance and love.
Retracting her stunned heart, Yaoling leaned into the arms of Mrs. Jinling, who was still graceful. "Master, I know that you and Grandpa Ghost love me, I am your apprentice, and no one in the world dares to provoke me. She said playfully.
"The girl is gone. Looking at Mrs. Jinling with a sad face, Mr. Ghost asked her gently.
Mrs. Jinling nodded. "Hey, that girl, for that stinky boy, she doesn't know what it's like to marry a royal boy at all. Mr. Ghost said with some hatred.
"Yes, as soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and with her character, she will hurt herself for the sake of that kid from your Feng family. Mrs. Jinling sighed softly.
