It turned out that Marshal Wei was extremely prescient in giving that extra vacation. Even when Wei Lai first thought about it, she always felt that she had been calculated by Marshal Wei, but after a few days on the road, she had to sigh in her heart for the wisdom of the marshal.

When going out with a woman, the speed of travel has always been unreasonable. Whether they are traveling with them or away from home, their ability to shop around or enjoy the mountains and rivers can always extend the trip indefinitely...... Of course, women like Wei Lai are still the exception.

"It's getting late, and it looks like we won't be able to settle down in the next town until it gets dark today." The autumn days are getting shorter, and if it is dark today, Wei Lai rode on horseback and looked up at the brilliant sunset in the sky, and then looked down at their current situation of not being in the village and not in the back of the store, and it was easy to come to this conclusion.

"Huh?! Didn't you say that it wasn't far away, how could it not be in time?! So what are we going to do tonight? Xi Qiu immediately became anxious when he heard this.

He Zhi was still so calm, she only glanced at her lightly when she heard the words, and said with a two-point smile: "Wasn't you reluctant to leave before?" You're in a hurry now. ”

Xi Qiu's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, but he muttered and complained: "The scenery outside here is so good, isn't Miss reluctant to leave?" Immediately, she shrunk her neck at the faint look of He Zhi, and quickly turned her head to Wei Lai and said, "General Wei, how far is this place from the next town?" Can't we go after dark and walk at night? ”

This time there was no need for Wei to answer, and the coachman driving outside the carriage had already opened his mouth after hearing the question: "Girl, this carriage will have to walk for at least two hours to get to the next town, and when it gets dark, the night is already deep, and even if you get outside the city, you can't enter the city gate." ”

Seeing that Xi Qiu seemed to want to say something, Wei Lai silently added on the side: "It's very dangerous to travel overnight, it's not easy for the carriage to travel, it's easy to have an accident, and maybe you'll meet jackals, tigers and leopards or something." ”

Xi Qiu was really startled when he heard the jackal, tiger and leopard, and his little face turned a little whiter. But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "But if you don't go and stay in this wilderness all the time, wouldn't it be easier to encounter those things?" ”

Wei Lai shook his head and said with a smile: "Beasts are all afraid of fire, and now is not the time when there is a shortage of food in winter, as long as you choose a good place before dark and regenerate a bonfire, you are not afraid of the night attack of wild beasts." She paused, subconsciously glanced at He Zhi, and added: "It's just that I may have to wronged you." ”

Compared with Xi Qiu's unhappy face, He Zhi seemed much more open-minded, she smiled faintly, and looked indifferent: "It's me and Xi Qiu who delayed the trip, so what's wrong?" Besides, if you have to walk for more than a month, you must not be so lucky to catch up with the town every time, and it is only a matter of time before you sleep in the wilderness. ”

Seeing that He Zhi didn't mind, Wei Lai completely let go of the idea of hurrying, she sat on the back of the horse and looked around, and said, "In this case, then you walk slowly first, and I'll go to the front to see if there is any suitable place to stay." ”

He Zhi nodded, and Wei Lai was about to drive the horse away, but suddenly stopped his movements and turned his head sideways, as if he heard something.

"What's wrong?" He Zhi asked.

Wei Lai moved his gaze to the official road behind him, shook his head and said, "It seems that a team of people is coming, and I don't know who is coming, I think I should stay first." ”

He Zhi also glanced back when he heard this. Most of the business travelers on the official road are calculating their itinerary, and it is almost time to rush to the vicinity of the town, and there is no one like them who can't go to the village or store. So at this moment, when she looked back, there was no one on the spacious avenue, and Wei Lai's people didn't know where they were.

However, thinking that Wei Lai has martial arts, he has always been deaf and clear-sighted, and He Zhi does not doubt him. In addition, you should always be careful when you go out and walk, so He Zhi just glanced at it, even if she didn't look at anything, she went back to the car, and by the way, she also lowered the curtain that had been lifted.

Then, after less than a stick of incense, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, mixed with the sound of the carriage marching. Listening to the sound outside a little hurried, this group of people should be in a hurry, seeing He Zhi and their car moving forward unhurriedly, they didn't pay much attention, and after a while, they passed by them.

Listening to the group of people and horses going away, He Zhi opened the curtain of the car again, and when she looked around, she could only see a burst of dust in front of her, and the pedestrian had long since disappeared. Before she could ask anything, Wei Lai had already replied: "It seems that the son of a big family should be traveling, and he is accompanied by some family members." I should just be passing by, don't care. ”

He Zhi nodded, and didn't take this matter to heart. Wei Lai was worried that someone would catch up from behind, so he didn't dare to leave them to explore the road and find the land in case of an accident, so he only rode his horse firmly to the side of the carriage, and looked around by the way, hoping to find a suitable place to sleep in the open before dark.

Unfortunately, with the speed at which the carriage swayed, they could not find any suitable place to stay until it was dark. Wei Lai casually got a torch out, and the coachman could only take advantage of the light to drive the carriage away at night.

This walk is half an hour. In the pitch-black carriage, Xi Qiu began to think in pieces: "Haven't you found a place to stay?" If you go any further, you will be at the gate of the city in a moment, and then you will ......"

Before Xi Qiu's words were finished, he was interrupted by a wolf howl outside. The little girl was immediately startled, and hurriedly came to He Zhi's side and hugged her arm, her voice was full of panic: "Miss, there are wolves!" ”

It was the first time He Zhi had encountered this kind of thing, and she was a little uncertain in her heart, but thinking about Wei Lai, who was guarding outside the carriage, she was a little relieved. At this time, Wei Lai's voice also came from outside the car: "It's okay, the wolf is far away, and he won't come." ”

In the dark night, Wei Lai's gentle voice came from a shallow voice, which seemed to carry some strange power, which easily calmed the panicked hearts of the two people in the carriage. Xi Qiu didn't dare to complain anymore, but He Zhi asked in a low voice, "Wei Lai, haven't you found a place to stay?" ”

There was silence outside the carriage for a moment, and Wei Lai's voice soon came again: "I saw that there seemed to be a ruined temple not far ahead, but there was already a fire inside, and someone should have gone first." ”

In this middle of nowhere, it is naturally great to find a dilapidated house to live in, at least to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is safer than outside. But since someone went first, Wei Lai also had some worries - she didn't go on the road alone, and there were two girls in the carriage, He Zhi and Xi Qiu, who were just the right age, wouldn't it be troublesome if she ran into a villain?

He Zhi obviously understood this, but it was not appropriate to leave at this time, so he said, "Let's go over and have a look first." ”

Wei Lai answered, and saw that the ruined temple was not far away, so he drove his horse over first, and then looked at the carriage parked outside the ruined temple, and guessed the identity of the people inside-it was the group of people who passed by them half an hour ago, and presumably saw that they couldn't catch up with the closing of the city gate, so they settled here.

"Who?!" The housekeeper who was guarding the carriage and horses outside noticed Wei Lai, and hurriedly walked out of the dark and asked.

Wei Lai raised her eyebrows, and at this time, the gentle smile on her face had already converged, and the whole person looked a little colder: "Passing traveler." It's getting late today, and I'm going to spend the night in this ruined temple. ”

Although harmony is valued when you go out, you also need to be a little tough when you should be tough. Wei Lai saw at a glance that the family Ding wanted to drive people away, so he didn't bother to be polite, and the glance was forceful, which really made the family dare not say much for a while.

At this time, He Zhi's carriage also came, Wei Lai drove over, and without waiting for He Zhi in the car to speak, he leaned over slightly and said, "It's the team of people and horses I met before." After a pause, he added: "There are more than a dozen people, all of whom can only do some superficial martial arts." ”

The meaning of these words is very clear, those people can't beat Wei Lai, so even if the other party has bad intentions, as long as they are careful, they can stay overnight with peace of mind.

When He Zhi heard this, she naturally had no objections.

At this moment, three or four people came out of the ruined temple, led by a richly dressed young man. Several people were a little unhappy when they saw that Wei Lai and the others seemed to want to stay, and two of them were about to step forward to catch up with their brows.

At this moment, He Zhi was helped out of the carriage by Wei Lai. The young man squinted slightly, and happened to see her face clearly by the light from the ruined temple, so his eyes suddenly lit up, and he not only waved his hand to stop the two people who were about to rush forward, but also greeted ...... in person.
