Chapter 166: Encountering Qianxue
Lu Mingyue and his entourage slowly walked out of Fengcheng and marched all the way to the capital. When Lu Mingyue woke up from a sleep, it was already past noon.
"Jinxin, what time is it?"
Lu Mingyue asked Jinxin.
"It's just past noon."
Jinxin replied.
Lu Mingyue lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the person leading the way on horseback in front of her, and thought, "Why is it past noon, don't you find a place to rest and eat?" ”
Lu Mingyue was puzzled.
It seems that these people want to send Lu Mingyue back to the capital as soon as possible.
"Miss, are you hungry?"
Jinxin said and took out the dry food prepared in the car.
"It is."
Lu Mingyue looked at the dry food, it seemed that they were not preparing this.
"This is already prepared in the car, presumably they have put it in the car early in the morning."
Jinxin said as she took out some snacks.
Lu Mingyue nodded, took and ate a few pieces.
"Let's send some to the night cold."
As Lu Mingyue spoke, Jinxin took a few steps forward, lifted the curtain, handed the dim sum to Ye Han, then lowered the curtain and returned to the car.
When Jinxin opened the curtain, he saw that the people on horseback were all nibbling on a large cake, and they seemed to have been prepared.
One day when the carriage was rickety, we passed through the cotton city and arrived at a small town, and when it was getting dark, I found an inn in the town to rest.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Mingyue and his party set off for the capital again.
In this way, I have been traveling for several days in a row, and I am getting closer and closer to the capital.
On this day, Lu Mingyue's carriage was driving on the spacious pipeline, and Lu Mingyue and Jinxin were sitting in the carriage talking something.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Lu Mingyue and Jinxin lifted the curtains of the car in confusion to see what was going on.
Ye Han took the initiative to say: "Princess, there is a carriage in front of you blocking the way. ”
Lu Mingyue and Jinxin looked ahead, and saw that there was indeed a carriage in front of them in the middle of the road, and there were many people around the carriage.
The man riding in front of him did not want to cause much trouble, and if he took a detour, it seemed that he would delay a lot of time, so he dismounted and walked a few steps on foot.
"Excuse me, can you please make way, my young lady is in a hurry to go home."
The man who went said very politely to the circle of people in front of him.
The people surrounding the carriage in front of them also seemed to be helpless, and slightly let go of a gap to let the person who went see the situation in the middle.
Lu Mingyue and Jinxin also followed.
But they saw that the woman who helped them that day was sitting in the carriage in front of them, it was Qianxue, and the carriage was no longer the carriage of that day, it must have been replaced.
Qianxue was sitting in the groom's seat, holding the reins in one hand and the whip in the other, looking at the few people around her with wary eyes.
Lu Mingyue and Jinxin recognized Qianxue, and seeing Qianxue's situation, Lu Mingyue and Jinxin glanced at each other and made a decision.
The man who went also saw that there was a woman sitting in the carriage, pulling the reins, and from time to time the carriage was turned a few times to prevent people from approaching.
Looking at the surrounding crowd, they didn't seem to want to hurt the woman, but bent down slightly very respectfully.
One of them came out and said helplessly to the person who landed on Mingyue's side: "I'm really sorry, my young lady is having a temper, can you please take a detour." ”
When the man who went saw this, he thought about it, and then he took his leave and walked back.
Lu Mingyue opened her mouth at this time, and asked the person who came back, "What's going on ahead?" ”
"Back to the princess, there is a carriage blocking the road, and we can't pass for the time being, let's take a detour."
The man returned to Lu Mingyue.
At this time, Lu Mingyue suddenly felt a little annoyed: "Detour? Is this to make way for my princess to make way for a commoner? ”
His eyes stared at the man.
Lu Mingyue didn't talk much in front of them on weekdays, and her expression was also faint, which made people dare not approach her lightly, but now, Lu Mingyue suddenly became angry, and the person was a little flustered.
"The princess forgives her sins, and her subordinates will talk about it."
The man trotted to the front again.
After a while, the man came back again, and seemed a little embarrassed: "The young lady has been refusing to get out of the carriage, and she insists on stopping in the middle of the road, and her family does not dare to come forward at will. ”
kept peeking at Lu Mingyue's face.
Lu Mingyue saw that Qianxue was still sitting in the carriage, not holding the reins in her hand, but as if she was holding a hairpin against her neck.
Lu Mingyue didn't answer the man's words, but got out of the carriage slowly, Ye Han immediately followed behind Lu Mingyue, and Jinxin also hurriedly followed and walked to Lu Mingyue's side.
Lu Mingyue got out of the carriage and walked to the front, and when the man saw that Lu Mingyue was going to go in person, he hurriedly said, "My subordinates will go and ask them to make way." ”
When he said this, he had more confidence than just now, and it seemed that he didn't plan to be weak.
Lu Mingyue knew that person was capable, but she didn't want to cause trouble, for fear that Lu Mingyue would have any accidents on the way back to Beijing, and it would be difficult to hand over to the emperor at that time.
Lu Mingyue chuckled, then walked past the man and walked forward quickly.
Jin Xin and Ye Han followed closely behind.
When the man saw Lu Mingyue walking forward, he asked the rest of the people to dismount and all followed.
Lu Mingyue took his group and slowly approached the carriage in front, and the people in front immediately became vigilant, stretched out their hands to their waists, and were always ready to make a move with Lu Mingyue's people.
Lu Mingyue suddenly stopped and said to Qianxue in the carriage: "Girl, this road is not your family, you occupy it alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Qianxue glanced at Lu Mingyue, how do you feel that this person seems to have seen it somewhere, don't care about these first, Qianxue said to Lu Mingyue with a pitiful look: "You don't know, I was born poor, and the director of Dongjie saw that I was a little beautiful, so he forced my father to let me be his eleventh concubine for him, I didn't follow, so I escaped, no, the director sent someone to chase me......"
What Qianxue said was miserable, and she squeezed out a few tears, and the people around her all opened their mouths and looked at Qianxue in surprise, how did they not know that the eldest lady of their family lied, and it was a set.
"Stop."
Lu Mingyue interrupted Qianxue's talking, and tears broke down.
Lu Mingyue slowly approached Qianxue, and the people surrounding Qianxue automatically blocked in front of Lu Mingyue, and the people behind Lu Mingyue immediately took a step forward.
"The marriage event was originally the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, presumably the director invited the matchmaker to go, and also let your father agree, this is yours."
Lu Mingyue said to Qianxue about the rules since ancient times.
Lu Mingyue said and glanced at the people in front of her, and said to them: "I'll go and persuade her, go back with you earlier, and I'll be in a hurry." ”
The people in front looked at each other, then slowly took a few steps back, and made a way for Lu Mingyue to pass.
Lu Mingyue raised her feet and walked towards Qianxue, Ye Han wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jinxin.
Ye Han looked at Jinxin for some reason, Jinxin didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.
Lu Mingyue came to Jinxin, Jinxin looked at Lu Mingyue vigilantly in the carriage, and there was still a bit of disgust in her eyes, presumably because of Lu Mingyue's words just now.
"What are you doing with your hairpin, suicide? Since you don't want to get married, let's do it. ”
Lu Mingyue looked at the hairpin in Qianxue's hand and said directly.
"You, you, I sue you, I'd rather die than go back."
Qianxue took the hairpin and stretched it into her neck a little more.
"Miss, don't be impulsive!"
The people around immediately shouted nervously.
Jinxin saw that these people were Qianxue's family members, and the people sent by the directors were all nonsense, although they knew, they just pretended not to understand anything.
Lu Mingyue said: "Okay, hurry up, I'm waiting to hurry, you occupy the avenue, it is very delaying the time of pedestrians, do you know." ”
Lu Mingyue's tone was very impatient and very unkind.
"Girl, don't say that, miss, don't listen to her."
Among the people around, one of them said anxiously.
The people around also looked at Lu Mingyue sadly, "This is to persuade people to go back, this is obviously to persuade people to commit suicide." ”
"You, you."
Qianxue just wanted to scare those people, delay a little time, and think about taking the opportunity to slip away, that would really commit suicide, but she didn't expect that Lu Mingyue had been forcing her to commit suicide, and she really couldn't do anything to herself.
Lu Mingyue saw that Qianxue was slow to make a move, so she laughed: "Okay, since you are reluctant to commit suicide, let's go back with them." ”
Only then did everyone know that it turned out that Lu Mingyue was still helping to persuade Qianxue to go back.
"I'm not going back."
Qianxue just didn't want to go back, even if she knew that she didn't want to commit suicide, she still wouldn't go back with those people.
"Why are you disobedient?"
As she spoke, Lu Mingyue quickly stepped forward and pulled down Qianxue who was sitting in the carriage.
Before Qianxue could react, Lu Mingyue dragged her down and hugged Lu Mingyue unsteadily, but suddenly heard Lu Mingyue say in her ear: "Take me hostage!" ”
Qian Xue didn't have time to think about it, hugged Lu Mingyue and pointed the hairpin to Lu Mingyue's neck, and then turned around with Lu Mingyue in her arms, facing the people around her.
Lu Mingyue had just exerted too much force, and now her body was already weak, and she relied on Qianxue without much strength, and was held hostage by her.
When the people on both sides saw that Lu Mingyue was being held hostage, they were stunned for a moment, and then they became nervous.
Suddenly, the two sides were very hostile and automatically separated and stood opposite each other, one side hateful and the other vigilant staring at the other.
"Let our young lady go."
The person on Lu Mingyue's side said.
"Miss, stop making trouble, let their young lady go."
The people on Qianxue's side said to Qianxue.
"Don't let go."
Qian Xue said and stretched a hairpin between Lu Mingyue's neck, threatening her own people.
Jinxin didn't care, it was a punch directly at the other party, and as soon as this fuse was ignited, it immediately triggered a battle between the two sides and started fighting.
The scene was very chaotic at the beginning, but it gradually became clear later, the people on Lu Mingyue's side were really good at martial arts, and after a while, they solved the people on Qianxue's side, and let those people all fall on the side of the road and roll.
This also made Lu Mingyue more clear in her heart, this time the emperor asked her to return to Beijing, there must be some purpose, even the people sent to pick her up are some hidden masters.
"You're not leaving?"
Lu Mingyue reminded Qianxue, who was still holding a hairpin and pointing at her.
Qianxue was stunned to watch the person chasing her fall to the ground, and turned around: "Oh, oh." ”
Then let go of Lu Mingyue and jumped into the carriage to prepare to drive the horse.
Lu Mingyue watched Qianxue raise the whip and put it down, hesitated, then stopped looking at her and walked to her carriage by herself.
Knowing that, Qianxue suddenly jumped out of the carriage again, caught up with Lu Mingyue, and struggled beside Lu Mingyue: "That, can I take a ride?" ”
"Don't you have a carriage?"
Lu Mingyue continued to walk forward.
"I don't know how to drive a horse, the driver of the horse has just run away early."
Qianxue said embarrassedly.
"Get in the car."
Lu Mingyue had already walked to her carriage and said to Qianxue.
Qianxue rushed into the car with a happy face, but she didn't have any action to watch out for Lu Mingyue, Lu Mingyue thought about this eldest lady with little experience in going out, shook her head, and then shouted at Jinxin: "Let's go." ”
Jinxin walked this way, jumped into the carriage, and Ye Han also came back and sat in front of the carriage.
Lu Mingyue's people drove the carriage blocking the road in front to the side, then got on the horse, protected Lu Mingyue's carriage in front and back, and continued to set off.
The people lying on the ground watched helplessly and regretfully as their young lady jumped into someone else's carriage and fled.
The people outside Lu Mingyue's carriage didn't ask much about Lu Mingyue letting Qianxue get into the carriage, they all guarded their duties and honestly escorted Lu Mingyue into Beijing.
On the carriage, Qianxue thanked Lu Mingyue for her help: "Thank you girl for helping!" ”
"No, I'm just repaying you for your kindness."
Lu Mingyue said.
"When did I help you with anything? How I don't remember. ”
Qianxue recalled, it seemed that she had never seen Lu Mingyue, but why did she feel that Lu Mingyue was a little familiar, and she had seen it somewhere.
"Thank you that day, the girl let my young lady and aunt get into the carriage at the border gate."
Jinxin spoke up on the side.
"You, you are, that day."
Qianxue suddenly remembered the three people who had taken her carriage at the border pass some time ago.
Lu Mingyue nodded.
"And where are you going?"
Qianxue asked Lu Mingyue again, thinking, isn't Lu Mingyue's house at the border?
"The capital."
Lu Mingyue replied.
"What are you doing in the capital, what about your husband, why is he not by your side?"
Qianxue asked Lu Mingyue again.
Lu Mingyue didn't bother Qianxue, but replied: "Go home." ”
Two simple words, but it made Qianxue have some ideas, and she also knew that Lu Mingyue's identity was not as simple as she looked, and her own identity was not simple, Lu Mingyue must have known, but she didn't break it, and helped her, Qianxue thought, "Why bother with other people's identities." ”
"My name is Qianxue."
Qianxue didn't think much about it anymore, said her name generously, and looked at Lu Mingyue with a smile.
"Bright Moon."
Lu Mingyue also smiled and said her name.
"Just call me Jin'er."
Jinxin also said.
"Okay, it's nice to meet you, we are also fated, let's make friends."
Qianxue said with a smile, seeing Lu Mingyue and Jinxin smiling amicably, she continued, "Can I follow you to the capital?" It must be very lively there, and I want to check it out. ”
