One hundred and fourteen

Jiang Lian'an promised happily that day, but when he turned around, he was a little nervous, thinking about it again and again, and wanting to regret it. Jiang Suifeng was so angry that he hit him with his head and face, and said angrily: "What are you afraid of, what happens to Lao Tzu." ”

Jiang Lian'an said with a sad face: "Dad, this is not a trivial matter. What kind of place is the Narui Palace, we are really going to offend them, and we don't know how they will die when the time comes. ”

Jiang snorted with the wind: "You are stupid! If you and your cousin can really succeed, even if the Meng family doesn't admit it, they will have their own mediation on the side of King Rui's Mansion at that time. Then Meng Dalang doesn't want his daughter to be widowed! Don't worry, even if it's for your cousin's sake, the Meng family will keep your affairs tightly hidden, it's a big deal, just say that you had a marriage contract before, even if it is royal, it's not good to rob this marriage, right? Besides, what kind of door is Ruiwang's Mansion? It's not that you can't marry a daughter-in-law, can you really hang yourself on the tree of the Meng family? What are you afraid of. In these years, the bold are dying, the starving are cowardly, there is no such shop in this village, and seeing that your cousin is about to get married, if you don't do it, even if you want to regret it in the future, you won't have a chance......"

Jiang Lian'an was persuaded by him like this, and felt that there seemed to be some truth, thought about it, and finally made up his mind.

…………

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Xu You led Ah Chu and a few subordinates to Lingshan Temple to burn incense.

This is the custom of the capital, and the girls who are about to get married have to go to the temple to pray for blessings and burn incense. Regarding the upcoming marriage, Xu You's attitude was very calm, neither repulsive nor nervous, and there was no shyness of ordinary girls. Maybe it's because she's been with Zhao Chengjin for a long time and knows each other well, but now she feels that this is just a ceremony, marking that the two can legally come together.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Mrs. Meng and Xue Dad were nervous, and even Ah Chu was a little inseparable, and his mood was obviously much lower, so Xu You deliberately waited until the academy was on vacation and called him out together.

Because it is the Double Ninth Festival, there are many people out of the city, and the upper reaches of Lingshan are full of people, and the carriage of the Meng family can no longer continue to go forward when it reaches the path at the foot of the mountain.

Fortunately, everyone is not a delicate and weak daughter, not to mention that Ah Chu has grown a lot taller and has become a little man, even Xu Yu has been exercising since childhood, and from time to time she also learns boxing with Snow Daddy, her body is particularly strong, and walking a few steps on the mountain road is really nothing to her.

The group quickly went up the mountain and entered the temple, Xu You burned three incense sticks for the Bodhisattva according to the custom, and then got up and went out. Ah Chu asked with a smile: "Sister Xiaoxue, don't you draw a lot?" I heard that the wishing box of Lin Shan Temple is very effective, why don't you give it a try? ”

Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan are both girlish in nature, and when they heard this, they were suddenly a little moved, and encouraged Xu Yu vigorously: "Miss, just try it, everyone says that the sign of Lingshan Temple is very effective." ”

Xu You shook his head resolutely, "I don't smoke." "There is such a thing as signing, good spirits are not bad spirits, if she really draws a signature, wouldn't it be panicked all day long, and nothing can be tossed. Ah Chu and the two maids saw that she was resolute, and it was not easy to persuade her, but Ah Chu still had some itchy hands, and quietly stayed at the end of the team.

“…… Hmm...... "Outside the main hall, the old monk who unsigned touched the gray beard on his chin and pretended to be profound," it was Tao Yuanming's drunkenness, and it was the Zhongji sign, and there was no beauty in the world, although there were villains, but it should not hinder the overall situation. ”

"There's a villain?" Ah Chu immediately became nervous, "Master, tell me carefully, what kind of villain is it?" How to avoid it? ”

The old monk refused to reply, and said mysteriously with half-squinted eyes: "This...... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. ”

Ah Chu: "......" He finally understood why Xu Yu refused to draw lots.

Because there are many people in Lingshan Temple today, Xu Yu and they did not stay in the temple for a long time, and worshiped the Bodhisattvas of all parties in the temple, and after resting for a while, they got up and wanted to go back to the house.

Ah Chu's riding skills have improved a lot under the guidance of Zhao Chengjin, so this time, he deliberately rode out of the horse and did not ride the carriage with Xu You. Sending Xu You and the two maids to the carriage, Ah Chu just turned around and wanted to get on the horse, when he suddenly heard a violent and sudden "crackling" sound behind him, as if someone had accidentally lit a firecracker.

The pedestrians on the road were startled, and they all turned around and shouted and cursed, and the people were gone, but the horses around them were suddenly frightened. Ah Chu□□'s horse was a gift from Zhao Cheng, and it was a good horse in the Western Regions, and when he heard such restlessness, he inevitably raised his front hooves and neighed uneasily, not to mention the horses of other people's families nearby, even the horses of the Meng family pulling the cart were also irritable, and they were uneasy with their hooves as if they were about to run at any time.

Ah Chu remembered the signature he had just drawn for no reason, and his heart was suddenly alert, and he hurriedly dismounted, and was about to give a warning to Xu You, but the horse pulling the cart seemed to be frightened again, and suddenly let out a terrible scream, spread his hooves and galloped wildly.

There was already some chaos on this road, and it became more and more chaotic at this time, countless horses and carriages were scurrying around, and the guards of the Meng family hurriedly got on their horses and wanted to chase them, but after running a few steps, the road was blocked, and it was almost impossible to move an inch, and the guards could only watch the carriage of the Meng family running towards the back mountain like a gallop, and after a while, even the shadow could not be seen.

Something is wrong! The Meng family's guards were all panicked, and they were all frightened. In the carriage was the future princess of the Rui Wangfu, and now it is only ten days away from the wedding, if something happens, even if they cut off their heads, it will not be enough to compensate. Ah Chu squeezed out of the crowd sweating profusely, looking at the empty path with a pale face, and his voice trembled, "Hurry up...... Hurry up and ...... With that...... he shook the reins again and rode his horse after him.

…………

The carriage swooped away, Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan fell with a stumble, Xiaoyu was even almost thrown out of the carriage, but fortunately, as soon as Xu You heard the sound outside, he immediately subconsciously grabbed the chair embedded in the car, so he was not thrown to the ground, but his head hit the wall of the car, and she grinned in pain.

"Miss, are you alright?" Xiaohuan reacted quickly, immediately sat down against the wall of the car, and reached out and dragged Xiao Yu who was thrown at the door of the car in. The path behind the mountain was already bumpy, and the carriage was so hurried that it couldn't be bumpy, and neither of them could stand steadily, so they simply sat on the ground.

Xu You rubbed the back of his head, stabilized his body, and bared his teeth: "What's wrong?" Frightened horses? Where are we going? ”

"I'll go out and have a look." Xiaohuandao, while talking, she climbed forward cautiously while sticking to the car board, and it took a lot of effort to finally climb to the door of the car, poked out her head and looked at it a few times, and her face quickly became ugly, "Miss, this is the way to the back mountain." ”

She seemed to see something again, and suddenly became excited, and her voice trembled a little, "Miss, there seems to be someone in front, help—help!" ”

"Anyone?" Xiao Yu also wanted to poke her head out excitedly, but was pulled by Xu Yu and shook her head with a calm face. She was vigilant, although she sat in the carriage and never saw it in person when the chaos broke out just now, but there was a problem with someone setting off firecrackers at the gate of the temple, who didn't know that there were many horses there, a little chaos, but something big was going to happen.

Xiao Yu was a little nervous by Xu You's eyes, shrank back uneasily, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What's in the carriage for self-defense?" Xu Yu asked, Xiaoyu didn't know what she thought, and suddenly her face turned white, and she shook her head tremblingly, "No...... There is no ......" Her mind was already in chaos, and she trembled for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, and replied with a trembling voice: "Okay...... It seems to have a knife......"

It is a dagger for sharpening fruit in the car, Zhao Cheng sent it, there is a beautiful scabbard inlaid with gems, Xu You always dislikes it too fancy, and he doesn't like to use it very much, but Xiaoyu likes it, saying that it is good to cut fruit, so he brought it to the carriage. Xu You held the dagger tightly in his hand, and his heart finally settled down a little.

She wasn't sure if this incident was coming at her today, although she didn't think she had any enemies in the capital, but it happened at a critical time when she was about to marry into the Rui Wangfu, so she couldn't help but think about it.

Xiao Yu was so frightened by Xu You's face that she couldn't even speak, but Xiaohuan outside the car door didn't know at all, she still shouted for help excitedly, and soon, Xu You heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves, from far and near, side by side with their carriage.

As if there was only one horse? Even if that person is really malicious, he is not necessarily afraid of him, Xu You clenched the dagger and thought secretly in his heart, but his other hand quietly reached to the side of the curtain, opened a slit and glanced out.

The horseman was a young man, in his early twenties, his appearance was neat, he was wearing a new robe, and he was stepping on a pair of new sheepskin boots, his hair was combed neatly, and he even had a white jade crown on his head.

But Xu You was originally suspicious in his heart, but when he saw this, he not only did not feel relieved, but became more and more cautious. She has seen a lot of Zhao Chengjin's usual outfits, and naturally knows how the children of the family in the capital dress, even if it is a formal occasion, they will not put on the clothes that have just been made and have not gone into the water.

Xiaohuan didn't realize the problem, and excitedly asked the man for help, the young man immediately widened his eyes, and reached out to Xiaohuan with a worried face and made a gesture, and said loudly: "Don't move, I'll come over to save you immediately." ”

Save...... You guys...... If Xu Yu was only suspicious at the beginning, he immediately determined after hearing this that the person outside was one of the main drivers of the horse shocking incident, not to mention what they were trying to do, if he really waited for him to get into the carriage, it would be difficult to clean up for a while.

Xu Yu gritted his teeth, grabbed the dagger and got up. Xiao Yu immediately understood what she meant, her face suddenly turned pale, and she was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she said in a trembling voice: "Xiao ...... Miss, the man outside is ...... Is it the bad guy? ”

"Ten □□." Xu You tried to calm himself down, "Don't be afraid, he's on horseback, and he doesn't have to be our opponent." That person probably never thought that Xu You would see through their conspiracy, and even carry a knife with him.

After she said that, she stabilized her body, lifted the carriage and climbed out, Xiao Yu was afraid that something wrong with her, so she quickly followed, gritted her teeth, and glared at the man viciously.

"Miss, why did you come out too?" When Xiaohuan saw her come out, he immediately became anxious, and said loudly: "This road is bumpy, and if you are not careful, you may fall off the carriage, you go in quickly." ”

Xu You didn't make a sound, and glanced at the man riding the horse coldly. She is really good-looking, although she can't be called a country and a city, but she is definitely beautiful, plus she has been pampered at home in the past few years, and she has become more and more snowy and black-haired, bright and moving, Jiang Lian'an lives in the slums of Xicheng on weekdays, how have he ever seen such an elegant beauty, he was stunned for a moment, and he forgot to say anything.

The carriage continued to bump and keep running forward, Xu You grabbed the wall of the carriage and moved to the side of the carriage little by little, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled at Jiang Lian'an, his smile suddenly bloomed like a spring flower, and asked softly: "What is the name of this big brother?" ”

"Jiang ...... Jiang Lian'an," Jiang Lian'an swallowed his saliva, his eyes straightened and replied, he completely forgot his father's advice, his body softened, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Watch...... Cousin, I'm your cousin. ”

Xu You's eyes narrowed, and various thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind. At this moment, even Xiaohuan realized the problem, although she didn't know what Jiang Lian'an had to do with the Meng family, but how could she come over to confess her relatives at this time? This is clearly a long-planned plan!

Xiaohuan saw that something was wrong, and decisively took the initiative to attack, and took off the shoes in his hand and smashed them towards Jiang Lian'an, Jiang Lian'an didn't take precautions, and was immediately smashed in the face by her, so he didn't fall off the horse. He suddenly turned blue with anger, roared, scolded "little cheap hoof", and rode forward again, waving the horsewhip in his hand and whipping it towards Xiaohuan.

Jiang Lian'an has been a hooligan for many years, and he has a hand in fighting, and with the whip in his hand, he immediately gained the upper hand, Xiaohuan and Xu You were both whipped several times, and their bodies immediately hurt hotly.

"Miss, are you alright?" Xiaohuan was so anxious that she cried, she thought about it, suddenly gritted her teeth, and pushed Xu You into the carriage with all her might. Xu You didn't watch out for a while, and suddenly fell into the car with a stumble, and her calf hit the seat in the car hard, causing her tears to come out.

"Xiaohuan-" Xu You immediately guessed Xiaohuan's thoughts, although the girl had not been by her side for a long time, but Xu You had a very good impression of her, it was a loyal and smart girl, Xu You had no doubt that she was going to do something jade-burning, when she saw that something was wrong, she didn't care about the injury on her leg, so she immediately drew a dagger and climbed out of the car.

Jiang Lian'an had already rushed to the side of the carriage, and when he was about to jump into the car, Xiaohuan suddenly pounced on Jiang Lian'an like a big cat......

"Little Ring!" Xiao Yu was so frightened that her face was white, and she rushed over in a panic to pull her, but she suddenly slipped under her feet, and she fell off the carriage like this, rolled a few times, and slid down the hill, and even lost sight of the figure.

The horse ran madly towards the mountain, leaving everything far behind, and the shadows of Xiaohuan and Xiaoyu were no longer visible on the road, and even Jiang Lian'an's horse ran into the dense forest on the side of the road, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xu You put the dagger aside, and little by little wanted to step forward to grab the reins, but every time he finally moved forward half an inch with difficulty, he was turned back again.

I don't know how long I ran, there was no road ahead, and there was a dense forest all around, and the more I went, the more gloomy it became, until the carriage was finally entangled in the bushes and vines in the forest, and the horses in front finally stopped.

When the carriage finally stabilized, Xu Youcai grabbed the dagger and carefully got out of the carriage.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu You couldn't believe that there was such a primeval forest near the capital. The scenery around seemed as if no one had ever been here, and the trees were so tall and thick that it would take several people to surround them, and they were covered with thick green moss, and even some of the vines that could not be named, and the ancient vines alone were as thick as a small arm.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, which had been piled up for I don't know how many years, and they were soft and soft when stepped on. Some of the trees have a circle of mushrooms growing under them, which are so colorful and dense that just looking at them makes people's scalp tingle. The spider silently hid in the shadows with its web open, stretching its waist as big as a man's palm......

What the hell is this place?

Xu You realized that something was not quite right, no matter how slow he was, and after thinking about it quickly, an idea finally gradually surfaced.

Ghost Forest? Xiaohuan wasn't joking at the beginning?
