Chapter 13 The road is narrow
In fact, the way to the border pass, when will it be what kind of situation, Mu Qi and Mu Jiu, the henchmen of the Hou Mansion, are clear in their hearts, without it, anyone who walks on this road twice a year, and has never stopped for ten years, he has to carve clear lines in his mind.

However, this is heard from the mouths of ordinary people, and it is different from the perception in their hearts, and the news from inquiring is undoubtedly more reassuring, isn't it?
The most obvious reaction to this news, when Song Qiaofang's master and servant were the three, the expressions of these three were obviously much more relaxed than before, perhaps because of the relaxation of their hearts, Song Qiaofang, who always hid herself in the carriage and easily did not meet with others, also changed her cautious and cautious style in the past.
You see that she lifted the curtains of the car from time to time to look at the scenery, and gradually became more and more bold, and finally even made an exception to sit in the position of the maid in the car, so as to have an unobstructed and hearty close contact with the beautiful natural scenery in front of her!
Along the way, Song Qiaofang and Lan Jiayin talked and laughed, only feeling refreshed and full of energy, and sighed in their hearts that their casual but reckless decision was still not wrong in the end.
The comfort at this moment, I am afraid that it is also the only indulgence in this life and this life, thinking about the young ladies of so many family officials in Pingjing City, who can act as recklessly and presumptuously as her, it is as rare as that.
Song Qiaofang's heart was deeply touched, and she couldn't help but take Lan Jiayin's hand, and said emotionally: "Good sister, this time sister, I owe it to you that I can get rid of the shackles and go to this vast world to play wantonly. β
She touched the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, and choked up: "If I hadn't been cheeky enough to follow you......"
Lan Jiayin listened to her words, and what she said was sincere, and after sighing with emotion, she comforted her with good words: "Good sister, what you said is out of sight, isn't it?" β
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, sister, if I hadn't been with you, how much fun would I have gained and lost along the way?"
As he spoke, Lan Jiayin blinked mischievously and said with a smile: "Isn't there a saying that what is going on with beauty, isn't it also fast?" β
Song Qiaofang was amused by her and laughed, reached out and pinched Lan Jiayin's waist, and said angrily: "Dead girl, such a ridiculous sister, you should be beaten!" β
The two laughed and made a mess, and the cheerful laughter floated out of the car like a silver bell, Mu Qi, who was riding on the horse, Mu Jiu's expression became more and more gentle, but it was Xiyue in the back, who shouted loudly in confusion: "Brother Seven, what's wrong with the front, what's the good thing?" Why is our young lady so happy? β
Mu Jiu waved his hand, and said without looking back, "Little girl, ride your horse well, be careful not to fall headlong, it will look good if you knock out your teeth!" β
Yu Cheng covered his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and laughed, Xiyue didn't dare to choke with Mu Jiu, so he threw a whip at Yu Cheng who was snickering with his backhand, glaring at him with hatred: "Let you gloat!" β
Seeing that the whip was about to sweep Yu Cheng, there was another whip horizontally, and the two soft whips were immediately entangled, and they couldn't tell you and me, but it was Xiwen who stretched out her hand to stop her.
Xiyue immediately pouted and complained, "You don't help me, but help him, it's really hurtful." β
Xiwen smiled slightly and persuaded: "Brother Yu is Miss's person, if you beat him, won't it hurt Miss's face, besides, it's all your own family, just kidding, why take it seriously?" β
"Miss is lenient, but you are used to getting more and more irritable, beware of Da Liu's mother and you settle accounts after returning home."
Xiyue has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she is not afraid of fighting, she is not afraid of being tired, she is afraid of Da Liu's mother's soft knife grinding, what embroidery, what tea......
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Xiyue's body couldn't help but tremble, and she quickly begged Xiwen to get up, so that her good sister could help her cover up when she went home.
Xiwen just laughed, but she glanced at Yu Cheng with her big smart eyes, Xiyue suddenly realized, blushed, and shouted at Brother Yu Ai......
For a while, the excitement outside was not much better than that in the carriage.
The group hurried happily, and gradually, the distance between them and the army in front of them became shorter and shorter.
There was even a time when they almost ran into the soldiers who were patrolling behind, but fortunately, Mu Qi, Mu Jiu was shocked, and greeted people in advance before they bumped into people, so that everyone could hide in the woods, and they were able to escape.
Lan Jiayin peeked at the patrol team in the distance, and sighed secretly while holding his chest, "Fortunately, Mu Qi and the two are highly alert, otherwise, they would really be caught by these people, and when they are mentioned to Xuanping Hou, they are really faceless!" β
After such a play, Lan Jiayin didn't dare to get too close to the big army carelessly, she didn't want to be sent home after being reprimanded by her future father-in-law, so she turned her head and quickly discussed with Mu Qi and Mu Jiu, and in the end, they decided to keep a certain distance, just follow from a distance, and wait until they entered Gutian City, and then secretly contact Mu Lingxuan.
From Pingjing to Gutian City, it is fast and non-stop, and it is only a journey of five or six days, but it is not a little slow to follow the army, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive, but fortunately, Lan Jiayin and Song Qiaofang are tasting the fun of going out alone and without supervision.
On this day, seeing that it was less than two days away from Gutian City, but seeing the dark clouds pressing down and the heavy rain was in front of him, Lan Jiayin poked his head out of the car window and asked Mu Qi to open the map, hurry up, first find a place for everyone to shelter from the rain, whether it is a village or a border post, don't be rained first.
"Fifth Miss, there is a sentry post twelve miles ahead, and there are a hundred and ten brothers stationed in it, and the leaders and subordinates there are familiar with each other, so let's go to shelter from the rain." Mu Qi didn't need to look at the map at all to know the general situation around here.
The sentry post he said was originally Mu Yishan's territory, but after Mu Yishan fell, it was taken over by Mu Lingxuan as a matter of course, and all the people inside were naturally replaced by his own people, no, there happened to be someone he knew who was assigned here.
Mu Qi sent something to this person some time ago, thinking that Xia Xun didn't come out with the prince this time, and the two would not have a chance to meet, but they didn't expect that by mistake, they could meet again.
The group had a destination, and immediately galloped on horseback, and finally arrived at the gate of the sentry post before the heavy rain came.
Lan Jiayin in order to let the carriage run fast, then rode a horse, at the moment sitting on horseback the view is naturally excellent, only to see the back of this sentry post against the mountain, the front of the arc-shaped courtyard wall, three zhang high, with a slip of water burned green bricks, just look at it feels very strong.
Mu Qi ran the fastest, he nominated and called the surname, and then reported to the door, and as soon as the parapet was confirmed, he immediately scolded with a smile and asked someone to open the door.
Mu Qi didn't get off the horse either, waved his horsewhip to say hello to people, and hurriedly ran back to greet Lan Jiayin without saying a few words.
"Fifth Miss, there was a group of people from the sentry just now who came to shelter from the rain, it was someone from the capital, my brother said that these people were wearing official boots, and they should be from the imperial court." Mu Qi picked the key to tell Lan Jiayin to know, so that this person could have a bottom in his heart.
"Is it a secret agent of the imperial court?" Lan Jiayin's heart tightened when she heard this, with what she knew in her previous life, she instinctively thought that the new emperor was not at ease with the Mu family, and she came to visit secretly.
Mu Qi shook his head when he heard this, "Not necessarily, at this time in previous years, as long as the imperial court had an edict to Hou Ye, most of them would go directly to the border pass to find someone, after all, they all knew that even if they entered Pingjing, it would just be empty, it was better to go directly to the border pass, finish the errand a day earlier, and return to the rich and noble township of the capital a day earlier." β
"Anyway, everyone understands in their hearts that there is basically no chance of fighting at the border in the summer, and it is very cost-effective to run a little way and go home early."
Lan Jiayin nodded, "Then leave him alone, let's go in first." The heart that was in his throat slowly returned to his original place.
As soon as the group entered the checkpoint, the gate was not closed, and the heavy rain poured down, Mu Qi's brother couldn't help patting Mu Qi's shoulder and laughing, "Xiao Qi, your baby is lucky, almost has to become a soup chicken." β
Mu Qi slapped his hand away with a straight face, and said to Lan Jiayin, "Fifth son, this is my friend, Ma Long." β
"Ma Long, this is the son of Yin, and he is our prince's...... Pal. β
With Yin, Ma Long thought it was the son surnamed Yin, smiled and saluted, and boldly beckoned people into the hall, "Let's go, go into the house and sit, drink some ginger tea to go to the cold first, I have already asked people to kill chickens and sheep, let's eat mutton soup at night!" β
Mu Qi pulled Ma Long a step behind, whispered a few words in his ear, Ma Long's face changed greatly, looked at the backs of Lan Jiayin and Song Qiaofang, scratched his head and scolded softly, "Damn, this is Miss Qianjin!" On weekdays, we only heard about books, but now we actually met a real person. β
However, soon Ma Long's uneasiness was replaced by a sense of pride in his heart, and he muttered with a smile without eyes, "Our family is charming, you see, this fiancΓ©e can't leave him for a moment, and the one who gets on the pole chases him." β
As he spoke, he mysteriously bumped Mu Qi with an inverted crutch, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Xiao Qi, tell me, what's going on with Miss Song next to you?" Could it be that this one wants to be a ...... for the son of our family."
Mu Qi immediately became angry, slapped over, and reprimanded mercilessly: "Don't talk nonsense!" β
"The prince loves to respect the fifth lady, and he will never do anything out of the ordinary, you don't talk nonsense to me!"
At the end, he cautiously warned this good brother who played with mud since he was a child, "If you want to die, don't say these rights and wrongs in the future, if this word reaches the ears of the prince, I can't protect you." β
The two of them entered the hall with their mouths squaking, and as soon as they stepped into the door, they found that the atmosphere in the hall was wrong, and they saw Lan Jiayin and Song Qiaofang and their party, and the group of people who came to take shelter from the rain first, clearly occupying both sides, and there was a bit of tension.
And which of the other party's handsome and pale faces was originally sitting on the chair, but at the moment he was standing in the hall, looking at Lan Jiayin alone, and the surprise that burst out of his eyes was so naked, and the people who looked at it were shocked.
Song Qiaofang saw that there must be a problem between the two as soon as Lan Jiayin and this noble son met and their expressions changed greatly. This is not a trivial problem!
In other words, Lan Jiayin's true identity, the son of a family who is as gentle as jade but pale as a ghost, must be clear in his heart.
However, knowing is knowing, it is always unreasonable for a big man to look at a girl so bluntly!
Without much thought, Song Qiaofang stood in front of Lan Jiayin and snorted coldly: "Don't look at indecent things, don't you know such a simple truth?" β
"You seem to be staring at my brother as if you are eating people, is it scary?!"
Which son was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were easily pulled off Lan Jiayin's body, and he turned his face to look at Song Qiaofang with an angry face, and he frowned slightly, and was about to give up his hand, when he heard Lan Jiayin sneer, "This kind of person has never been in charge of himself, how could he ever think about her?" Sister, don't bother with them, it's just to hide from the rain, let's stay away from him. β
As he spoke, he pulled Song Qiaofang to the corner, and he looked lazy and the other party's theory.
Song Qiaofang was indignant, was dragged away, and turned her head to glare at the man, but she didn't know that the words Lan Jiayin just said heard the ears of this noble son, it was really no less powerful than the power of a sharp sword piercing, this was stiffened by Lan Jiayin's whole body, and then covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed in a low voice. The miserable white face also turned red, and it looked like it was a little more popular, and it didn't look like a ghost at all.
It's just that the thin body is swaying back and forth, as if this is going to be unable to stand, the little guy behind him is clever, quickly took a few steps forward, and supported his master with a handful, it turned out that this noble and handsome son is Li Weizhen and Li Ergongzi is also.
This little guy is his confidant, and naturally he knows very well about the bad things of the Lan and Li families, so he feels that his son-in-law has suffered a great grievance.
couldn't help but look at Lan Jiayin indignantly and said, "When the prince went to the prime minister's mansion to withdraw from the marriage, my son-in-law was seriously ill, he had been unconscious, and he didn't know anything about it......
Li Weizhen had already coughed too hard, and he didn't care about shortness of breath and panic, for fear that his little guy would say too much, so he immediately stopped him, "Mingshun stops, don't say more." β
Ming Shun was originally upset for his master, but he didn't expect that the master not only praised but severely reprimanded, and even more so that he couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, this person's face suddenly burned red, and the grievances in his heart were difficult to hide, and even his eyes were red.
But in the end, he was born as a slave, and he has always been accustomed to obeying his master, no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how angry he is, he still follows his instinct and obeys him and does not say anything at night.
