Chapter XXIV

The sun was already shining brightly at the end of the hour, and the golden halo was sprinkled into the room through the hollow windows, casting a warm layer of color. Surrounded by the scent of red sandalwood, the woman who was shrunk in the goose yellow brocade quilt was still asleep.

The tassels that drooped from the bed swayed gently in the breeze, sweeping the woman's sleeping face from time to time, but did not disturb her sweet dreams.

"Squeak-" The slight shrill sound of the door opening sounded, and a large expanse of sunlight poured down with the gap, even through the screen.

Qing Li's eyes under his eyelids turned uncomfortably, only frowning and turning lazily to sleep.

An Ning hurriedly walked into the inner room, bypassed the cuizhu screen, and saw Qing Li who was asleep on the bed, his eyebrows were lightly locked, and he hesitated a little or leaned forward, and his mouth called softly: "Miss, Miss, wake up, there is something urgent......"

There was no response at all, Qing Li only buried his head deeper into the quilt, still sleeping soundly.

An Ning stood helplessly in place and smiled bitterly. The young lady has always liked to sleep in, so they don't bother, and it is really difficult to get her out of bed, but now there is no way to do it......

Gently pulling down the brocade quilt on Qing Limeng's face, An Ning shook her body gently, "Miss, wake up!" ”

Qing Li muttered quietly, and An Ning didn't hear it clearly, thinking that she was awake, but who knew that she just pulled Bo back, and the sound of shallow breathing spread again.

An Ning was really powerless, and he didn't care if he was offended, so he reached out and lifted the quilt off Qing Li's body, and the shaking of his hand was even greater, "Miss, Miss ......"

She doesn't have to worry that Miss will be angry, anyway, Miss usually spoils them and never cares about rules and etiquette.

Qing Li finally woke up, opened her eyes slightly and stared at this persevering girl, her brain was still in the stage of emptying.

She drank some wine at the dinner last night, and when she came back, she was exhausted, she was tired, but she didn't feel sleepy after lying down, and she didn't sleep until the third watch, how did she know that this girl was going to wake her up early in the morning......

"An Ning ......" Qing Li muttered indistinctly, and his eyes tended to close again.

Finally there's movement! An Ning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and when she saw that she was going to sleep again, she hurriedly told her the business, "Miss, a letter from Jing Gongzi was sent urgently overnight." ”

An Ning said as he handed her the letterhead in his hand. Jing Gongzi was in such a hurry, and she couldn't afford to be lazy......

Overnight expedited? These four words shocked Qing Li's spirit.

Although Jing Xuan is a little reckless and sloppy, he will not be sent in an urgent manner for some trivial things, isn't it...... What's the situation?

Qing Li's sleepiness swept away most of it, and he sat up and took the letter.

On the envelope was still his flamboyant handwriting, and it was still the familiar four words "Qingqing personally opened", but Qing Li could also see his anxiety and panic from it.

Without thinking too much, Qing Li opened the wax-sealed letter and carefully read the contents on it.

"Qingqing, there is a strange disease in Qi County, Liangzhou, there are many dead, and the Rejuvenation Hall is helpless, come quickly."

A few words, but it made Qing Li think about it.

The rejuvenation hall is all over the major towns, states and counties of ink painting, although the doctors among them are not supernatural medical skills, but the shopkeepers are carefully selected members of the Qing family, and their skills are not bad.

But now even the shopkeeper of the Huichun Hall in Qi County can't do anything, and this matter is strictly zhòng. What's more, Jing Xuan is still in Qi County, and he may get sick at any time......

Her heart sank slightly, she hurriedly got up and hurriedly explained: "An Ning, groom for me and change into men's clothes." ”

"Yes."

……

The afternoon sun is getting hotter and hotter, and it is also a little sunny. On the wide official road, two horses galloped quickly, and a puff of dust rose behind them.

In the gray and earthy smoke, a thin figure came out of the dust. The indigo shirt makes her figure more slender, and her familiar horseback riding skills and confident demeanor between gestures all add a bit of grace to her.

Beside Qing Li, a lean man in a pure black suit followed him closely, and his attention was not only on the road ahead, but more on the people around him.

They had been on the road like this for three full hours, and Qing Li was in a hurry, so he simply rode over, and the secret guard only brought one Ziya.

Although she is a good horse who travels thousands of miles a day, she is also a little powerless under such a hurry.

There was a tea chat not far ahead, Qing Li looked at the sky, it was almost Shen Shi, and now it was still a long distance from Liangzhou City, and the nearest Jiaxian County below was probably about to die.

She had only eaten some pastries in a hurry before going out in the morning, and now she was already hungry, and the horses were a little overwhelmed......

"Ziya, go to the front for tea and rest for a while." Qing Li said lightly, and the speed of the horse also slowed down.

The two jumped off their horses, Ziya tied the horses to the trees on the side, and Qing Li walked into the humble tea shed while loosening some stiff bones, and said to the only old man: "Uncle, please take some tea and snacks." ”

Qing Li smiled gently and sat down.

The old man slowly brought a few tea bowls, and his eyes lit up. Looking at this son's dress, he is also a rich boy, and he doesn't have the slightest arrogance and extravagance, and he can be so polite, which is really rare.

"Childe, Shanye Tea Shop, there are no snacks, only some coarse grains." The old man said with some embarrassment while pouring tea.

"It's okay, just serve some steamed buns." It's good to have a tea shop in this wilderness, not to mention that she doesn't care about food, and now that her stomach is empty, it's good to have something to eat.

"Well, Childe uses it slowly." The old man took a large bowl and filled a few black and yellow steamed buns, put them down, and then walked to the side and took a nap.

After Ziya set up the horses, he also walked to Qing Li and sat down, there was no expression on his dark face, he neither drank water nor ate, and his body posture completely protected Qing Li without leaking.

Again...... Qing Li is angry and funny. He's not an iron man, even if he has a good body, he can't toss like this!

Picking up a coarse grain and handing it to Ziya, Qing Li smiled: "Eat something, it should be very late when we arrive in Jiaxian, and you will fall before others arrive!" ”

She said it urgently, Ziya had already gotten used to it. The spikes all over his body were gathered a little, and he took the steamed bun and gnawed it on the tea.

However, as soon as he entered, he frowned. This steamed bun is hard and rough, and he naturally won't care about it when he walks the rivers and lakes, but the master is clothed and fed, and he can eat freely?

Three years ago, he was ordered by the hall master to protect his master, and he was a little unhappy, but in the past few years, he has really been impressed by her demeanor and bearing, and now he has long been convinced, but now he has found that the strangeness of the master is actually far more than that.

Ziya took a big bite on the steamed bun in his hand, and his expression was still the usual stern, but he could also find that the breath around him had softened a lot.

There was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Ziya's ears moved, and they immediately became alert.

Listening to the sound, there seemed to be more than twenty people, and the sound of horses' hooves was chaotic, apparently well-trained.
