Chapter 166: Mountain Courtyard
Early the next morning, Yufu's carriage stopped in front of the gate of Ninghou Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Jingyan was very reluctant to send Duanyue to the carriage, and handed the luggage in his hand to Duanyue nostalgically.
"The county lord should be careful when he goes alone." Jing Yan pouted and looked at Duanyue sullenly. Seeing her expression, Duanyue knew in her heart that this Jingyan was worried about herself, obviously because she couldn't go with her and sulked.
The carriage was so big, and Lu Qingyi was weak, so Rong'er went with her, so Jingyan had to stay in the house, which was considered a long vacation for her. But this little girl can't stay at all because she is naughty. She wished she could follow Duanyue and the others to Qingxi Mountain.
Duanyue deliberately smiled at her, revealing her big white teeth. "Don't worry, there can be anything." Saying that, Duanyue ruthlessly immediately kicked into the carriage with his luggage, and didn't even look back, and the angry Jingyan could only pout and stand in place sulking.
"Don't always tease the cigarette." Lu Qingyi sat in the carriage and frowned and whispered to dissuade Duanyue, but Duanyue just stuck out her tongue and made a naughty grimace.
"I'm not joking with Jingyan, sister-in-law doesn't have to take it seriously." After saying that, Duanyue "banged" and sat heavily on Lu Qingyi's left, while Rong'er sat on her right side.
As soon as the three of them got into the carriage, the groom raised his whip and swung it at the brown horse, and with a neighing sound, the four wheels of the carriage began to move slowly. Duanyue curiously lifted the curtain and looked at a carriage in front of her. Seeing that it looked similar to the one he was sitting in, Duanyue didn't need to guess much to know that it was the carriage that Mandarin Yuan and Mrs. Yu were riding.
With a jolt, the carriage slowly drove out of the city. The shouting and shouting outside the carriage gradually subsided, and was replaced by birds and insects chirping and gurgling water. Duanyue had never been to Cheonggyesan Mountain, and she didn't know what kind of place it was. However, as the name suggests, there must be trees and water, and it would be best to wade through the water and play in such a high summer hour.
"Ma'am, it seems to have arrived." The carriage stopped abruptly, and Rong'er shook the drowsy Lu Qingyi and Duanyue, and quickly shook the two awake. Duanyue rubbed her eyes sleepily, and did not forget to stretch her waist in this narrow place.
Hearing Rong'er say "arrived", Duanyue immediately came to her senses, and before Lu Qingyi could catch her, Duanyue jumped off the carriage like a loach, happily breathing the fresh air in the mountains.
Mrs. Yu and Mandarin Yuan, who were sitting in the carriage in front, also slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked at Duanyue with a smile on their faces. "It's not there yet, the carriage can't drive on the first part of the road, so you have to walk a short way." Mrs. Yu turned her face to Lu Qingyi and asked with a little worry. "I don't know if Madame's body can bear it, I'm afraid that you will be tired of that little wind and you will not have to fight with me."
Lu Qingyi smiled lightly and shook his head gently. "You really think I'm too weak, if I can't even walk, then I won't be that muddy puppet."
The four of them stood and laughed for a while because of what Lu Qingyi said, and then walked towards the mountain. Mrs. Yu is right, although she has walked a long way, it is not very far, so it is regarded as a walk.
Compared with Chang'an City, the annex of Qingxi Mountain is much simpler. Mrs. Yu intimately let Mandarin Yuan and Duanyue live next to each other, and the two of them laughed and went back with their luggage. Mrs. Yu looked at Lu Qingyi and pursed her lips, her expression a little solemn.
"Qingyi, I heard that General Murong sent Xiaofeng to the border pass again?" She frowned a pair of willow eyebrows, and asked Lu Qingyi with deep meaning in her eyes, as if she had something to say.
Lu Qingyi was stunned in her heart, she didn't know what Mrs. Yu's words meant, she just thought that Mrs. Yu was worried about the wind. "The border is tight, and Master Hou is also concerned about his family and country. Even if General Murong didn't say it, Hou Ye himself would go and ask for his life. She thought for a moment and added. Mrs. Yu doesn't have to worry about Master Hou, it's not the first time he's gone to the border, and he already has experience. ”
"Over the years, I have also watched Xiaofeng grow up, and he has already surpassed Shen Changfeng back then for this achievement. It's just that the higher you climb, the more people are afraid of it. Mrs. Yu's throat moved, and her brows never relaxed.
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked quickly to Lu Qingyi's side, and whispered two words in her ear, which shocked Lu Qingyi's expression to freeze instantly.
"Really?" Lu Qingyi's pupils shrank, very unbelievable. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly, and her originally gentle and calm face instantly became solemn.
Mrs. Yu didn't speak, just bit her lower lip and nodded at Lu Qingyi, leaving her with a look, she turned around and slowly returned to her room.
Lu Qingyi stood in place, her carefully trimmed slender nails embedded in her palms straight, but the pain in her heart did not shake Lu Qingyi. She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her chest rose and fell violently, and a sense of uneasiness swam in her heart. Lu Qingyi had never felt that the dark tide was so close to him.
Duanyue changed into a piece of clothing that was easy to move and rushed out of the house, happily knocking on the door of the mandarin duck. "Mandarin duck, let's go out and play!"
Annoyed by her knock, the mandarin duck opened the door and looked at Duanyue angrily. "You, you've been beaten with chicken blood, why don't you know how tired you are." As he spoke, the mandarin duck knocked on his sore arm. "This carriage is bumpy, and I'm about to fall apart."
"Don't always nest in the room, what's the difference between this and being in Chang'an. Let's get out and play! Duanyue immediately stepped forward, and took the mandarin mandarin mandarin hand, and was about to run outside.
Mandarin Yuan couldn't resist Duanyue's little pun, so she had to accompany her to the edge of the stream outside the yard. The two squatted by the stream, looking at the grass carp back and forth in the crystal clear water, dancing in surprise.
"Mandarin duck, you wait, I'll go find something to catch fish!" Duanyue was full of joy and went to the grove on the side, completely ignoring the sound of the mandarin duck's stop.
She walked a few steps in the woods, and with her head bowed her head searched for dry branches on the ground, thinking that if she found a branch of just the right thickness and sharp, she would be able to spear the fish. However, after choosing for a long time, it is either too thin or too short, and it is not possible to choose a satisfactory one.
With a glance from Duanyue's eyes, she suddenly saw something hidden in the grass, shimmering in the sunlight. The curious Duanyue immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps, squatted on the edge of the grass, and reached out to pick it up without caring about the dirt and filth.
It was a dark token, on a flat and smooth surface, with three large characters engraved on it, but it was so worn that I couldn't make out what was written on it.
"What is this written about?" Duanyue frowned and looked back and forth several times, only to feel that this was an iron lump, and it was still heavy in his hand.
Duanyue muttered, just as a plaything, and played with it in his hand. I thought that I couldn't find the branches, so I went back. However, after only a few steps, Duanyue only felt that there was a pair of hands behind her back that pushed her to the side with all her might, and she didn't have time to react before she fell down with that strength and fell straight into the stream.
However, the section of the river where Duanyue walked was already upstream, and although the stream was still a stream, the water depth was already waist-deep. Duanyue didn't know how to water, and suddenly fell into the water, she only felt frightened, and drank a stomach full of water with her mouth open.
