Chapter 3: The Horse Thief (1)

Shangguan Haiyin and Liuyun walked into Youlan Garden, where she once lived, and the furnishings in the house were the same as those in Biyun Beizhuang, and Shangguan Haiyin couldn't tell whether it was her father's delicate mind or her mother's delicate mind. The www.biquge.info felt very tired after riding a horse for a few days, so he asked Liuyun to pack up his bed and prepare to rest for a while.

As soon as he lay down, there was a knock on the door, and Liuyun rushed over to open it. A woman in a pale crimson dress stood there, the woman's figure was slender and plump, her black hair was tied to the flowing cloud bun, a few beaded flowers were inserted in her hair, and a southern pearl hung from her forehead, and her moon eyebrows and starry eyes were shining. After seeing the flowing clouds, he walked inside.

Standing in front of Shangguan Haiyin, the woman laughed, and when she laughed, a shallow pear vortex appeared between her cheeks, and her voice turned tactfully: "Sister, you are back." ”

Shangguan Haiyin sat up and looked up at Shangguan Luoxiang, who was already seventeen years old. The two have been separated for eight years, but now they are the same when they meet again. When she was a child, Shangguan Luoxiang had to grab everything with herself, from her father's favor to snacks and snacks on the table, as long as Shangguan Haiyin liked it, she had to grab it.

It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, Shangguan Luoxiang looked much more mature. Shangguan Haiyin didn't know why Shangguan Luoxiang became so calm, she ignored that Shangguan Luoxiang was selected by the Shangguan family to be a show girl in Beijing, so she naturally trained her since she was a child.

"I'm here to see you, after all, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you haven't changed much." Shangguan Luoxiang said and sat on the edge of the bed.

Shangguan Haiyin, who was not very accustomed to the tone of the other party's voice for a while, took over: "You have changed a lot, and I don't know you anymore." ”

Shangguan Luoxiang smiled, took off Shangguan Haiyin's hairpin, played with it in his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't changed, so sister, don't do anything along the way." As he spoke, he whispered in Shangguan Haiyin's ear: "You must know how hard my father has worked so hard for me to enter the palace as a mother. After finishing speaking, he stood up and raised the pearl hairpin in his hand: "Mine." Then he turned and walked away.

Looking at the figure of Shangguan Luoxiang leaving, Shangguan Haiyin sneered, nothing has changed. As for what she just said, she is crazy to do it again on this road. She wished that she would enter the palace quickly, and then there would be no such person in her future.

Liuyun looked at Shangguan Luoxiang's figure and asked coldly, "Do you want me to get the pearl hairpin back?" ”

Touching the hair that had fallen out, Shangguan Haiyin shook his head. Although the pearl hairpin was given by her senior brother, it is not so important, after all, she and her senior brother will have a lot of time in the future.

Time passed quickly in preparation, and on the morning of the fifteenth, ten carriages came out of Shangguan's Mansion to deliver Shangguan Luoxiang.

Shangguan Haiyin and Shangguan Luoxiang's elder brother, Shangguan Xiujie, rode in front on horseback, wearing brown riding clothes. Shangguan Xiujie is very handsome, if he is not tall, he will definitely be seen as a woman, he is twenty-three years old this year, and he is in the prime of life. It's just that Shangguan Xiujie has always been obsessed with the music and rhythm tea ceremony, and has never been concerned about fame and fortune.

The two horses that followed Shangguan Xiujie were Shangguan Haiyin and Liuyun. Shangguan Haiyin wore an indigo robe, with a veil of the same color on his face, his hair tied up with a silk ribbon and a jade crown, and a black cloak. When he didn't speak, he thought he was a boy from the Shui family.

Liuyun was wearing a crow-blue riding outfit beside him, his hair was also high, and he wore a black veil. The two of them followed Shangguan Xiu's commandment to the left and right, followed by ten guards.

One of the carriages followed behind sat Shangguan Luoxiang, two were empty for Shangguan Xiujie and Shangguan Haiyin, and the rest of the carriages were loaded with the gold, silver, jewelry, and silk silk that Shangguan Luoxiang had brought with him on this trip. Finally, two cars followed, one containing a huge wooden bath barrel made of golden silk nan, and the other was a neatly arranged tea set and a guqin.

Compared with these two people, Shangguan Haiyin only brought two compartments, neatly placed in the carriage for his rest, in addition to the necessary clothes, it was half a box of commonly used medicine and weapons that were not too convenient for the hands.

After the curfew time, the gate of Fengzhou was opened, and the carriages and horses walked away in the spring breeze.

Shangguan Xiu was tired in less than half a day on the horse and hid in the carriage to rest. Only Shangguan Haiyin and Liuyun were left to take the lead in front of the car. Not long after, the head of Shangguan Luoxiang's maidservant Hongluan came out of the carriage that followed behind: "Third Miss! Three Misses! Our lady asks when you can rest! ”

Shangguan Haiyin looked at the vast road ahead, shook his head and said: "The nearest post station is also going to be in the evening, let my sister endure it in the car, it is not only dangerous to stop and go, but you can't get to Luojing on time." ”

Before the words fell, Shangguan Luoxiang opened the curtain and scolded the groom: "Stop!" Stop and listen! The groom hurriedly stopped his horse, and the guards who had been advancing also stopped.

"Let's take a break and let's go, I'm tired from this car." Shangguan Luoxiang threw out his words coldly and sat in the sedan chair again.

Shangguan Haiyin looked around speechlessly, although he was walking on the official road, he was surrounded by dense woods. Normally, it would take another two hours to see the town, and it would not be wise to rest on the side of the road or in the woods, and who could have predicted that there would be a robbery. After all, now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne for three years, the people are really not very peaceful.

Shangguan Haiyin and Liuyun drove their horses to guard the convoy, but it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was poisonous, impartial. Shangguan Haiyin was dizzy from the sun, so he had to hand over the horse to the guards and sat in the carriage accompanied by Liuyun.

The inside of Shangguan Haiyin's carriage was very simple, and there was nothing but a bed less than four feet wide. The bed was covered with mattresses and quilts, Shangguan Haiyin was half-lying on the bed, and Liuyun took the kettle and handed it to her: "Drink some water, miss." ”

Shangguan Haiyin took the kettle and took a small sip into his mouth. I don't know why I can't be at peace in my heart, as if something is going to happen. Just as he was about to open his mouth to talk to Liuyun, he suddenly heard some discordant voices.

Liuyun also heard it, and when he opened his mouth to say something, he was stopped by Shangguan Haiyin: "Shhhh "It seems that a lot of horses are coming from the woods.

Shangguan Haiyin lifted the curtain on the car window, looked at the woods, and unsurprisingly saw a horse team of at least thirty people rushing towards them. Shangguan Haiyin and Liuyun hurriedly came out of the carriage. One jumped onto his mount and shouted, "Groom, steer the horse!" Then ten guards were stationed at the side of the car. Escort the car forward.

Shangguan Luoxiang was lying down well, but the car suddenly moved and almost shook her off the bed, so angry that she opened the curtain and shouted: "Don't I say rest!" Why did you leave again! Shangguan Haiyin, are you crazy? ”

Shangguan Haiyin was leading the way, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Shangguan Luoxiang's yelling in the back, just asking the groom to speed up. The gang of horse thieves they had just seen was not close to them, and they were not so easy to catch up with them on the march, as long as they reached the nearest town, they did not dare to do anything, and the only thing to do at this time was to hurry up.

Shangguan Luoxiang saw that Shangguan Haiyin ignored herself, and she was even more in the atmosphere, ignoring the handmaid's obstruction and grabbed the groom and shouted: "Stop me!" Don't go any further, do you hear that? I'm the 2,000 gold of the Thorn History! Listen to me! ”

The groom was forced to stand there, and the carriage behind him was forced to stop. Shangguan Haiyin walked a few steps and didn't hear the sound of the carriage behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Shangguan Luoxiang standing in the driving position, holding a horsewhip and looking at her angrily.

Shangguan Haiyin, who was already so angry that he didn't know what to say, pointed to the woods not far away: "The horse thief chased after him in less than half an hour!" What the hell are you doing! ”

Shangguan Luoxiang's body was paralyzed when he heard the name of the horse thief, sat down, looked into the forest, and really saw the galloping horse team, and was so frightened that he returned the horsewhip to the horseman: "Quick, run, run." Then he climbed back into the carriage.

Shangguan Haiyin was so anxious that he felt like he had a blood in his chest, and continued to give instructions to let the team move forward quickly.

It was just a little more delayed, and the group of horse thieves quickly caught up. The leader shouted: "Front convoy!" Stop if you want to live! ”

After hearing this, Shangguan Haiyin's heart was half cold, if it was a small team of robbers, she and Liuyun could still block it, but with a team of more than 30 people, she was not afraid of breaking the money, she was afraid that these people would take their lives after taking the money. He had to stretch out his hand to stop the convoy and walk towards the horse thief who was already close at hand.

"What's in the car?" The leader is a big man, with slightly ragged clothes and a long beard, looking fierce and vicious. asked Shangguan Haiyin loudly.

Shangguan Haiyin looked at the convoy and tried to lower his voice as much as possible: "Uncle, there is nothing in the car, just some furniture and supplies." My family moved from Fengzhou to Huzhou to flee, and we didn't bring anything with us. ”

The big man stroked his beard, and looked at her suspiciously: "Then show me the two carriages!" ”

Shangguan Haiyin took a long breath, got off the horse, and opened the door of the car he was sitting in: "Look, there is really nothing in this car. ”

The big man looked inside, and there was indeed nothing. "Drive me the car behind me, who knows if you'll lie to me."

Shangguan Haiyin opened the door of the car full of slaves, and the mothers and servants who were sitting here to bring Shangguan Luoxiang to Shangguan Luoxiang were all dressed very plainly, and they were close together at this time, not daring to look up at people.

Dahan was a little displeased: "Open the rest of the cars for me!" ”

Shangguan Haiyin hesitated, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth carriages were all gold and silver prepared for Shangguan Luoxiang. As soon as she looked at the box, she knew that the contents were worth a lot of money, and it would be nice if the gang could get the money and leave, but what she saw was a horse thief hiding behind the woods and preparing to attack.

The ladies in the carriage that the leader of the horse thieves just showed were all older, and they would not let the other party have any evil intentions, but her beautiful sister was not safe, and this was the light of the lady of the village, and the heavy was ...... Looking at the shadowy man, Shangguan Haiyin swallowed his saliva. Gotta find a way to get out of the way.

Shangguan Haiyin looked at the third carriage with some embarrassment, and said to the leader without saying anything: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to open it, it's just that ...... It's just that my sister is seriously ill now, and if you rashly let her meet someone, I'm afraid it will be bad for you! ”

"Whoa! There can also be diseases that are not good for me! Don't lie to me, open the car doors! ”

"The little one didn't want to say it, but my sister had tuberculosis, so Fengzhou couldn't tolerate us, so I was ready to move my family to Huzhou, so that on the one hand, it was to treat my sister, and on the other hand, it was convenient to stay away from familiar people. Uncle, this disease is contagious! Saying that, he reluctantly went to Shangguan Luoxiang's carriage.

When the leader saw Shangguan Haiyin's appearance, he also flinched, this tuberculosis is an incurable disease, and it is said that it spreads very quickly, so he must accidentally contract it...... Hesitantly, he looked back at his entourage.

A military advisor-like person also rode over, and after hearing him clarify the facts, he hurriedly shook his head: "Big brother, then we can't go, now the doctor in this world is the most expensive, it's a big deal, we won't take this order!" Let them pass, let's hide in the woods, it's not too late, and if we're lucky, we can block a new batch of people. ”

Dahan hesitated for a long time, waved his hand, and asked Shangguan Haiyin to take people away quickly.

Shangguan Hai Yinxi didn't dare to show it in her heart, and thanked her: "Thank you, uncle, I'll take my sister away." So saying, he got on his horse, and hurried to the front of the group, before she could give the order to march.

Shangguan Luoxiang suddenly got out of the carriage and shouted, "Shangguan Haiyin, don't slander me!" I don't have tuberculosis! ”
