Chapter 100: Inside the City of Qinzhou
There are no people sent by the Son of Heaven or his grandfather to protect them secretly, but there are those who follow them and bring them death. γLatest chapter reading. Shen Liancheng didn't know why, and his heart was also mixed.
But in the face of Chen Xiang's ridicule, she never lost her toughness. "It's a secret protection, of course, it won't show up easily until it is absolutely necessary."
However, since he knows that there may be such a thing, he can't talk about it secretly or not.
Hong Qi looked around and found nothing. I think that after entering the mountains and forests, the person who followed them was also lost.
Shen Liancheng and Chen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't speculate, they each changed their comfortable positions, quickly closed their eyes before and after, and fell asleep.
At dawn, the sound of birds and insects chirping in the mountains is even more crisp, which reflects a different kind of tranquility.
"Don't!" Shen Liancheng suddenly shouted and woke up from the nightmare.
The awake life was startled by her, and the unawakened was also woken up by her.
"Son-in-law...... Are you having nightmares again? Qingling hurriedly walked over and handed her the kettle.
Seeing Shen Liancheng sweating, Chen Xiang's heart moved inexplicably. I wonder what terrible dream she had? Qingling said the word "again...... It sounded like she had nightmares all the time.
Shen Liancheng drank the water, eased up, glanced at Chen Xiang fiercely, and then got up and walked to the side.
Chen Xiang was stunned, intuition that the nightmare she had was related to herself. Her slave Qingling glanced at him, and there seemed to be a little hatred in his eyes.
Originally, Shen Liancheng would have nightmares because of himself, and he should feel relieved. At this moment, there was not, and there was even a kind of affection that should not be there.
After eating the white steamed buns that the villagers put in their baggage, the four of them started to hurry again. Shen Liancheng fell last night, and now he is in pain, and he is still walking cautiously.
If you talk about dragging people back, she is really the one who drags people back. In the end, she is a noble daughter, and her body is delicate. Fortunately, there was no one chasing after him, and Chen Xiang had no complaints about it.
When the group walked to the path leading to the border of Qinzhou, it was already noon. Shen Liancheng relaxed a little at this time. However, her skirt was dirty and torn, and her hair was messy, and at a glance, it looked as if she had just been bullied.
In the afternoon, they finally entered the border of Qinzhou. And in order to avoid the people who may be blocking them on the road ahead, Chen Xiang said: "We still take the trail. β
Shen Liancheng knew that taking the trail meant that he would have to suffer, so he frowned. But she pursed her lips, no objection. She would rather suffer more than to meet those who wanted to get her hands on the parchment.
The next road is still tortuous, although there are no thorns, it is the road that the predecessors walked out, but it is also potholes, and if you are not careful, you can come to a stumble. Shen Liancheng walked hard, and Qingling was also out of breath.
There was no one all the way, and they spent another night in the mountains.
When I finally got to Qinzhou City, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Seeing the gate of the city from afar, Shen Liancheng was happy, but his limbs had no strength. She sat down on the side of the road and said bluntly, "I really can't walk." β
"Son-in-law, the front is here." Qingling went over and tried to help her up.
Shen Liancheng tried hard again, but he felt a heart-piercing pain. She took off her shoes, only to find that the soles of her feet had worn out at some point, and a pair of Luo socks were stained red with blood.
Chen Xiang's eyes caught a glimpse, and he couldn't help but turn back to her, "Why don't you say that your foot is broken!" With that, he crouched down to carry her.
"Hong Qi, what are you still doing in a daze?" Seeing this, Shen Liancheng glared at Hong Qi.
"Huh?" Hong Qi didn't know why.
"Hurry up and carry the girl!" Qingling reminded urgently.
"Oh." Hong Qi's face flushed, and then he walked over.
Seeing Shen Liancheng lying on Hong Qi's back, Chen Xiang straightened up, a little embarrassed. When he saw that her foot was broken, he had this ghostly move......
After a short time, they entered the city of Qinzhou safely. Chen Xiang took the three of them to a teahouse called Qinyuanlou.
There are some similarities with Wenjun Pavilion, and those who want to enter Qinyuan Building to drink tea must accept some difficulties from the host's family. It's just that when the host saw Chen Xiang, he sent away all the guests in the front of the house, and then respectfully welcomed Chen Xiang in.
The host was an older man in his fifties, short in stature, with a slightly thin body, a pair of small, thin eyes, and many fine lines when he smiled, and almost only two black lines could be seen.
Ugly. This is Shen Liancheng's evaluation of him. She had seen too many beautiful men, but it was the first time she had faced such an ugly and short face.
His surname is Gao, and Chen Xiang calls him "Uncle Gao". At first, Shen Liancheng thought that this person had some affection for Chen Xiang, so he respected him like this. Later, she learned that his original name was Gao Bo.
Gao Bo led the four of them all the way to the back garden.
Looking at the hibiscus flowers in the garden, Chen Xiang was distracted for a moment, thinking of the Qixi Festival that day, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Liancheng's face.
"How?" Shen Liancheng was still lying on Hong Qi's back and didn't get down, and when he saw Chen Xiang staring at him, his heart was furious.
"We're going to stay here for a while." Chen Xiang said.
Shen Liancheng ignored it. Whether to go or stay, she doesn't care. What's more, after walking for two days and two nights on the mountain road, she also wanted to have a good rest for ten days and eight days.
What Chen Xiang didn't say was that he wanted to wait for her foot injury to heal before continuing to walk. In addition, he had some other matters to arrange. He will never allow the disasters of these two days to be encountered again.
After arranging their respective accommodations, Chen Xiang asked Gao Bo to invite a doctor. It was not to show himself the injured arm, but to see Shen Liancheng's bleeding feet.
It was a pair of immaculate feet that had never been injured. He didn't want to leave those feet in any way in any way because of himself.
In the dead of night, Shen Liancheng was lying on the bed and was asleep, but he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and asked Qingling, "Is Chen Xiang asleep?" β
Qingling shook her head, "It's not ...... yet." Slave go and see. β
"Beware of him not being discovered." Shen Liancheng reminded, "As long as you see someone entering his room, call me immediately." β
"Slave understands." It's not the first time Qingling has listened to her words.
This time, though, for the last time tonight. Because finally two men in black clothes came, knocked on Chen Xiang's door, and quickly got permission, and walked in respectfully.
Qingling hurriedly reported the matter to Shen Liancheng. When Shen Liancheng heard this, he hurriedly endured the pain in the soles of his feet and got out of bed carefully.
"Son-in-law, your wound will be broken like this!" Qingling lowered her voice, but exclaimed. Seeing her master's feet wrapped in white cloth like that on the ground, her heart jumped to her throat.
"It's fine." At this moment, Shen Liancheng did not have the squeamishness that a noble girl should have, and went straight to the door, and he was about to listen to the roots of the wall. (To be continued.) )
