Chapter 26: Red Maple Garden

With the sound of horses' hooves, the carriage of Shangshufu swayed out of the city. The people in the carriage chatted without a word, but they didn't think that the time was long, and by the time the carriage stopped outside a garden in the eastern suburbs, Wei Lai had already lost his initial restraint and embarrassment.

"Miss, it's here." Outside the carriage came the slightly honest voice of the coachman.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, it was naturally the agile Wei Lai who jumped off the carriage first. After she jumped out of the car, she subconsciously turned around and stretched out her hand, and before she could notice that there was anything wrong with her move, a Qianqianyu hand was already on her calloused palm. He Zhi generously got off the carriage with the help of Wei Lai, and her demeanor was so natural that it was as if nothing had happened.

Since the other party didn't say anything, Wei Lai naturally didn't think much about it, but the soft touch left in her palm still made her shake for a moment. Immediately, she noticed another inappropriateness: because of her identity, she has always subconsciously avoided physical contact with others, and when Angel took the initiative to pull her hand, she reacted very much, and today in the face of Miss He, how can she be so natural, and take the initiative to reach out to help others?

At this time, Wei Lai still couldn't think of a suitable reason, and because of her distraction, Xi Qiu, who was following He Zhi, had already jumped off the carriage by herself, but she didn't have to worry about whether to stretch out her hand again.

Most of the time, Wei Lai is not a person who can drill the horns of the bull, not to mention that she has always been a good priority. The slightest doubt in his heart was quickly suppressed in his heart, and Wei Lai paid attention to the surrounding environment.

When I raised my eyes, the first thing I saw was naturally the garden specially chosen by the driver of the car - I don't know if He Zhi or Xi Qiu had already ordered it, or if he heard their conversation outside, but he chose the famous Red Maple Garden in the eastern suburbs.

On the plaque with gold characters on a black background, the three words "Red Maple Garden" are like a pen walking dragon and snake, which is obviously from the hand of a famous artist. The gate of the garden is also very delicately decorated, which shows the intentions of the people who repaired the garden. But at this time, compared to these, the most eye-catching thing is always the red world inside the door, which can only be glimpsed.

Wei Lai's hometown is not a maple tree, although she has actually seen it over the years, but every time she sees it, she will still be amazed by the fiery redness of that tree, not to mention that this red maple garden is not just a few maple trees dotted, but she has never seen the whole maple forest - the red maple garden is basically just on the basis of the mountain maple trees, the outside has built a fence and a gate, and a few pavilions have been built in the forest for visitors to rest, it can be said that it is the most humble of the surrounding gardens, but at this time, this place is undoubtedly more attractive.

Today is not a special day, but it is not only Wei Lai and his party who come here to play. At this moment, another group of people came, seven or eight young people and girls, with a mighty group of maids and servants, who walked past Wei Lai and them talking and laughing, without even looking at them.

Wei Lai didn't know a few people in this capital, and she hadn't seen any of those teenagers and girls, let alone cared. He Zhi seemed to glance at the crowd, but she didn't say anything, and she couldn't see if there was anyone she knew in that group.

After these people all entered the gate of the Red Maple Garden and disappeared into the red world, He Zhi smiled and said, "Let's not stand here stupidly, let's go inside and have a look." โ€

"Okay." Wei Lai smiled and nodded, and followed He Zhi into the Red Maple Garden.

*****************************************************************

Although Red Maple Garden looks like a garden, it is not. Unlike the surrounding gardens built for tourists, this is actually a mountain forest, but a little wall and gate have been built on the periphery, barely used as a garden. But in fact, the mountains and forests are still mountains and forests, and they are not enclosed by a little wall, as long as you walk inside, you can connect with the surrounding mountains, so you will always meet people who do not come from that gate.

It seems that at this time, Wei Lai and He Zhi were walking in the woods, and with He Zhi guiding the topic at all times, the atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious, and the relationship became a lot closer. But as she spoke, the sound of horses' hooves rang out from the depths of the maple forest, and it sounded like it was coming in their direction.

Wei Lai listened attentively and heard that there were at least twenty or more horsemen in that line. But this is not a battlefield, so there is no need to be vigilant at all times, Wei Lai just subconsciously frowned and looked over.

He Zhi looked unimpressed, and said with a smile: "Wei Lai doesn't have to care. As you said before, this is the right time for autumn hunting, and it should be some people who are hunting nearby and have come around from the mountains. โ€

This kind of thing is actually very common, after all, the maple forest here has a unique scenery, and it is also good to come over to rest and play after hunting. If you can meet a few young and beautiful girls, let them see their hunting style, and show off their full harvest by the way, then those young people who love hunting will be even happier.

But this time there was a bit of an accident, because as soon as He Zhi's words fell, a fiery figure suddenly appeared in Wei Lai's sight, and then the speed was extremely fast, and he ran past their feet with a "whoosh".

"What is it?!" He Zhi didn't see anything, but she clearly felt that something was running over her feet.

Wei Lai subconsciously turned around, but before she could see what the thing that ran over was, she heard a slight sound of breaking the air coming abruptly......

This voice was all too familiar to Wei Lai, she had heard it countless times on the battlefield. The sense of crisis hit instantly, and Wei Lai rushed at He Zhi without thinking about it. He Zhi couldn't react, and was pounced, and the two of them fell to the side with their arms, and He Zhi was standing on the ground before, with two sharp arrows already inserted.

He Zhi was shocked when he saw it, but Wei Lai had already turned over and stood in front of He Zhi.

The sound of horses' hooves approached quickly, and sure enough, there were twenty horses, led by two richly dressed young men. They looked at the arrows stuck in the ground, a trace of chagrin flashed on their faces, and they turned their heads to see Wei Lai, who was still stained with maple leaves on the ground, but did not apologize, but said domineeringly: "Where did you come from, wild boy?" dared to block the way of the master, and let go of the master's fire fox! โ€

I've never seen such an unreasonable, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he can't stand it, not to mention that Wei Lai also climbed back from the battlefield of the corpse mountain and sea of blood after all, how can he not be a little angry? At that moment, the sword eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were cold: "You guys fired arrows indiscriminately in this Red Maple Garden, and almost injured my friend, but you are still reasonable?!" โ€

The young man who spoke before rode on horseback, and sneered when he heard the words: "You blocked the fall of the master, and you deserved to be shot!" As soon as his words fell, the people who followed him echoed him, shouting that Wei Lai didn't know what to do, and asked her to compensate them for their fire fox.

In fact, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and most people will be a little more restrained in dealing with things, so as not to accidentally provoke someone they can't afford to provoke. But these two teenagers were young and vigorous, Wei came to see the face, and the clothes did not look like the children of the family with status, so she only thought she was an ordinary person, and she didn't see He Zhi behind her, so she bullied people once.

Wei Lai was a little angry, but in the end, he was afraid that this was the capital, and he was also worried about He Zhi behind him, so he didn't make a move. The other party felt that she was weak and could be bullied, and at this time she actually beat the horse over, with a posture of wanting to surround them.

Although Fang Cai's fall was not a big deal, it provoked a wolf in the end. Wei Lai didn't want these people to see He Zhi's wolf bรจi behind him, so after those people approached, he finally snorted coldly and made the first move.

It's just some "pampered" guys, "crackling" for a while, and in less than a stick of incense, the people on horseback are lying on the ground. Wei Lai just glanced at them, and his gaze was full of disdain.

At this moment, He Zhi also cleaned herself up and walked out from behind Wei Lai, who was blocking her again. She looked at a young man lying on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and her always soft voice had turned cold: "Prince Wang, Second Prince Li, you are really majestic." โ€

The two teenagers who were still lying on the ground moaning, looking like they were going to die, saw He Zhi appear, and their faces suddenly changed.
