Chapter 60: Fast Horse Tracking
Huang Jiang and they stayed in Pingzhou for another two days, and it was not until the white lady came to her senses that several people packed their luggage and got on the boat that Bai Ye entrusted his men to see off. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and his entourage, together with the goods, set off for the north on a dark and windless night.
After a few days on the boat, they paid the boatman a silver tael and switched to a carriage. The goods were all piled up on two carts, with no roofs, just wooden carts pulling the goods, with two horses pulling in front. After all, there are too many inconveniences in the waterway, and after turning into a mountain road, it is obviously much faster.
Originally, after disembarking, there were two roads at one mountain pass, and the map indicated that both roads led to the place ahead, but they did not know which one was smoother and safer. Fortunately, Liu Wugang, who claimed to be familiar with the situation, was here, and Huang Jiang let him choose a path, although Wusheng had always distrusted him, but at this moment he had to put the decision in his hands.
After Tang Guxi came back from Jiazi Mountain, he has been sullen, and he has not seen a smiling face all day, so he sits in the car in a daze when he has nothing to do, and does not say a word. Lin Luo and Lin Xun naturally saw it in their eyes, but there was nothing they could do, according to Lin Luo's statement, she had to pass this level first. If you don't look down on life and death, how can you bear the weight of your family and country in the future?
The dream of the southern country, the dream of Ye Jinyun, and the dream of Princess Qingwan are all on her alone. As long as they can leave Sheng Ge safely this time, then they only need to take one more thing, and they can go back to Jiuqin. Now Ye Jinyun and Lin Su are both on Tianquan Mountain in Jiuqin, when they will return to Xizhou, just wait for the three of them to return.
On that day, they were passing through a mountain road, where the shadows of the trees swayed, and a little white light cast a sparkle on the ground through the leaves, and the breeze was cool, and the cries of mountain birds came from far away. Lin Xun sat in the car and played with the Mo Evil Sword in his hand, whistling and squinting at Tang Guxi, who was sitting not far away, and looked at Lin Luo from time to time.
Neither speak to each other.
After a long time, they could only hear a voice coming from behind them, and if they listened closely, they knew that it was the sound of horses' hooves. A few people didn't care, after all, it was common for people to pass by on this mountain road, and it was impossible for the bandits they had met before to come, and they were safe and secure for several days, and it was really a little far from Linqing at this time.
"Sister, listen, how many horses are there here?" Lin Xun felt bored, so he put away his sword and leaned into Lin Luo's ear and asked. Lin Luo listened intently, and when the sound of the horse's hooves gradually increased, she replied, "Two horses." β
"Two horses?"
"Hmm."
"Looks like it's going to be a big deal! This horse must be a good horse, listening to the sound of the landing is sonorous and powerful, and the rhythm is also fast, I think if we can have a few good horses...... It won't be as slow as it is now. As he spoke, he let out a long sigh of pretended exaggeration, his gaze lightly crossed the Yellow River, and then turned to the corner of his eye.
Huang Jiang knew Lin Xun's temperament, so he didn't pay attention to him, and when the sound of the horse's hooves increased a little more, he was faintly uneasy, and asked, "It can't be really the bandit of that day, right?" I see this voice coming straight towards us, there are not many pedestrians in this wilderness, and now the horses are galloping straight away, it seems that we must be on guard! β
As soon as these words came out, Liu Wugang, who was dozing off on the side, immediately woke up, looked around in a panic, and saw that they didn't speak, so he didn't dare to ask, but he was no longer sleepy, and sat upright with his back.
Lin Xun let out a chuckle in his nose, looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "If you were really bitten by a snake once, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years!" β
"If it weren't for the bandits that day, I just hope that I don't run into bandits here again......" Huang Jiang was still not at ease, turned his head and asked Liu Wugang, "Are you sure that this road is stable and smooth?" β
Liu Wugang gasped, but his face was still calm, he didn't look at the Yellow River, but slowly took out the map from behind him, pointed to the curve above, and said firmly: "If you take a closer look, you will know, obviously there are many people near this road, although the road is tortuous, but it is not inaccessible, and there are loopholes for bandits to exploit, right?" β
Huang Jiang frowned and looked carefully, but he didn't see anything, he didn't know a single big character, he couldn't understand the text annotations on it, and he was also half-convinced of Liu Wugang's words, but he didn't have any reason to refute it.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves not far behind me, and another sound came out, this time it was a human voice: "Miss-!" Miss! Brother Liuββ! β
The people in the two cars were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked puzzled, Lin Luo reacted first, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Tang Guxi. I saw that Tang Guxi seemed to have just come back to her senses, and her reaction was a little slow, and when the voice sounded again, she immediately stood up from the car like a spring. But the carriage was moving, and she got up too violently, so that her unsteady body shook twice, and she was not ready, so she fell under the carriage.
"Not good!" Lin Luo's eyes gathered slightly, and he also flew up from the car in an instant, his feet kicked into the air on the tail body, and the hand holding the sword stretched out, and blocked Tang Guxi's waist with the sword body, holding her up hard. Lin Luo landed on both feet, and because his weight was completely on his arms, his body was unbalanced, and he rolled out as soon as he landed. Fortunately, she was better at it, so she was unscathed.
"Stop!" Lin Xun yelled and stood up, and said angrily at the little brother who was driving, who didn't know what was going on, and tightened the reins with a blank face and stopped the carriage.
Before the carriage stopped, Lin Xun jumped out of the car, ran to Lin Luo to help her up, and asked anxiously, "Sister, are you injured?" β
"I'm fine." Lin Luo gasped slightly, stood up from the ground, and looked at Tang Guxi with his eyes. Lin Xun saw that she was fine, and also turned around to look for Tang Guxi, only to see that she had just stumbled a step, and now she was standing firmly on the ground, staring at them with shocked eyes, and she didn't react at all.
The carriage finally stopped, and all the people in the carriage got up and got out of the carriage, and when they came to the three of them, they looked left and right, and each of them had palpitations. Lin Xun and Liu Wugang also recognized Fang Cai's voice at this time, the voice of "Miss" and "Brother Liu", who else could shout besides Yuming? They couldn't help but turn their heads to look back.
Huang Jiang also looked puzzled, although he ruled out the possibility of bandits and bandits, but he was also full of puzzlement about the woman's voice, so he raised his eyes to look at the bend in front of him, waiting for the stranger behind the bushes to appear. Only Wu Sheng closed his lips tightly at the moment, did not say a word, his eyebrows were lowered, and the gaze of the Yin Owl came out of the corner of his eyes, lingering on Lin Luo Lin Xun and Tang Guxi, carefully looking at something.
Tang Guxi looked at Lin Luo, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, she turned her head to look behind her, only to see two vague figures flying out from behind the bushes, each riding a horse, galloping towards them. The one at the head was clearly a young woman, and although she disguised herself as a man, she was still recognizable at a sight.
How could Yuming come here! Who is the person behind it?
If it weren't for the horse galloping and approaching quickly, Tang Guxi still couldn't believe that Yu Ming really appeared in front of her, she would rather believe that she was in a trance, and she never thought that Yu Ming, a girl, would actually appear in front of her on a fast horse. is so spicy and brave, is it really the timid and cowardly Yuming who loves to cry?
She watched in amazement, and was speechless. Until Yuming's horse stopped in front of them, she also dismounted, and shouted at herself again with tears in her eyes, "Miss!" Tang Guxi really understood.
"Jade Tea!" Tang Guxi screamed and pounced on Yuming, tears came out of his eyes, and the two hugged each other tightly, sobbing incessantly, tears soaking each other's clothes.
Just as the two were moved to see each other again, the other horse also felt in front of her, and immediately there was a middle-aged woman, whose weather-beaten face showed confusion and panic, and she couldn't do anything when she saw so many people for the first time. After awkwardly getting off his horse, he stood still, his eyes dodging and searching for something.
When they saw this strange woman, they thought she was a slave of the Tang family for a while, so they didn't take it to heart. Who knows, but at this moment, Liu Wugang's face turned pale, and he looked at the woman dumbfounded, until the woman also saw him, and when the eyes met, he heard him shout in shock: "Ling Niang!" β
"Xianggong!" As soon as the woman saw Liu Wugang, her eyes were no longer in a trance, her eyes instantly turned red, and her throat choked.
As soon as everyone heard this "Xianggong", they realized that they were the insiders of Liu Wugang's family, but how did she come here all the way to chase her here? What kind of courage and courage is it, could it be that something happened in his family? But no matter how big the accident is, it won't chase it personally. This series of events made them dizzy, and they couldn't react for a while.
Liu Wugang was stunned, looking at his wife with a look of disbelief, even more surprised than when he saw Yuming just now. He was stunned for a moment, then rushed to her, went up and down, and only calmed down after making sure that she was safe and sound, the surprise on his face turned to puzzlement and anger, and he suppressed his voice and said, "What are you doing here!" β
"I ...... I dreamed a few days ago that something had happened to you, and the Bodhisattva in the temple told me that I had to see you in person......" she explained incoherently, her eyes full of tears.
When Liu Wugang heard this, he couldn't help but glance back at everyone, swallowed his saliva, and turned around and said, "You, why are you so confused?" It's ridiculous that you are a woman running out of your house and doing something, what should you do with the children in your family! β
At this time, Tang Guxi also calmed down, wiped his tears after letting go of Yuming, and couldn't help but say coldly when he heard Liu Wugang's words: "You are the Gu family at this time." After speaking, he walked over to them, stood in front of Sister-in-law Liu, and glanced at her, Sister-in-law Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and called out in a low voice, "Miss." β
"Sister-in-law Liu, how can you be so confused? I can't believe that the two of you will come after you from thousands of miles, do you know if something happens on the way......" she gasped and glanced at Yuming, "You're getting bolder." β
"Miss, Sister-in-law Liu is excusable, I thought you wouldn't be angry......" She lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "Moreover, I ...... this time."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tang Guxi, she stared at the fast horse that the two were riding, and couldn't help but wonder: "When did you learn to ride a horse?" And sister-in-law Liu, you ...... That's how you got all the way here? By the way, what about my father, do my father and mother know, did they say anything? β
She really had too many doubts and puzzles in her heart, so she asked out in one go, Yuming glanced at Sister-in-law Liu, and said to her: "Miss, I'll tell you about these later, and the old lady doesn't have to worry, they all know." β
"What, they know?" Tang Guxi was dumbfounded, "Are you saying that your father and mother allowed you to come to me?" β
"Miss, let me finish my sentence first." Yu Ming looked anxious, but she didn't know how to speak, and after hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Miss, you really have to go back this time, I'm here to bring you back." β
