183. Chapter 182
This time, they were lucky, and they found that the nearby county town had not been trampled by iron hooves, but because many nearby villages and towns were in trouble, the prices in the county town were getting higher and higher day by day, and there were more and more people who wanted to run out day by day. There is no shortage of money in the property of Four Seasons Villa under the name of Mo Li, and there are several Acacia shops, all in the name of Cousin Pomegranate, so they have not cut off their financial routes, even if the money in her fiefdom does not move, it is enough for them to live a good life for a few years.
Mo Liang had money in his hands, and the carriage was lovesick to sit on, so no one else earned to pay, they selected the best horses and carriages in the county, and added some supplies, and quickly left the county seat before dawn, and set off towards the city where the governor of Yanbei was.
Acacia didn't suffer all the way, most of the time stayed in the carriage, almost just ate and slept and ate, Mo Li was afraid that Acacia had no taste in his mouth, so he deliberately hit game and roasted it with spices on the way, and the greedy Acacia almost forgot about those exquisite delicacies in Kyoto.
Because they need to hurry, and the villages and towns they pass by are not safe, so Acacia often sleeps in the wilderness, Acacia sleeps in the car, and the rest of the people sleep by the bonfire outside the car with a martial arts roll.
"There are three days to go to Yanzhou Mansion, Acacia is originally from Yanzhou." Zhuang Jinyuan stretched out his head across Meng Huoran and was close to Acacia.
Acacia nodded with some nostalgia: "I was in Yanzhou before I was nine years old, and I don't know how my hometown is now." ”
This is the first time she has returned to her hometown in two lifetimes, in her last life, Mo Liang was a businessman, she married only a small official, even if something changed in Kyoto, it was not as fast as now, at that time, her eyes were in a house, and all she was worried about was the matter of the husband and wife and the shame of the unspeakable red apricot.
It's no wonder that in the previous life, Mo Li would say that ignorant people are always the happiest.
In the suburbs at night, especially in winter, the temperature drops quickly, so Acacia quickly climbed into the carriage after dark, she didn't take the maid all the way, almost everything was done by Mo Li, she didn't want to add trouble to Mo Li and her brother because of her willful illness.
It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she made the bed and lay down, Mo Liang followed in.
Usually Mo Liang has not come up, and even slept with her until the early hours of the morning before leaving in a hurry, it is just dark at this time, and the people outside may not have fallen asleep yet, Mo Liang should be in full view of everyone when he gets into the car at this time.
"Why did you get up? Didn't my eldest brother say you? "There was also a brazier in the carriage, and it was very warm, and Acacia was afraid of danger in the middle of the night, so he also wore a coat when he slept, but this shirt was made of fine cotton to be soft.
Mo Liang warmed his hands and feet by the brazier first, and then sat down beside Acacia, sighed and hugged Acacia in his arms and said: "Tonight, the dry food is not to taste, and I have lost weight in a few days." ”
The distressed tone made Acacia's heart tremble, she hugged Mo Li's arm and smiled: "You are not a pig, how many days will you be able to see fat and thin?" ”
"Tomorrow, I'll still hunt some game, with candied fruit, it's good for the body." If you always eat meat, your gums are easy to bleed, and there are no vegetables and fresh fruits around you in winter, so you have to use candied fruit or dried fruits instead.
"Don't be so troublesome, won't you be in the city in three days? When the time comes, you can't eat anything, and if you want to hunt game this winter, you have to be lucky, don't delay the trip for me. Acacia said disapprovingly.
Mo Liang just laughed and didn't respond, which shows that he is determined not to change his mind.
"Big brother just asked me...... When to get married? ”
Acacia looked up, only to see that the roots of Mo Li's ears were red, and only one oil lamp was lit in the carriage, and the light was soft, and his eyes seemed to be dyed with water vapor. Acacia then remembered that she was about to catch up.
"It's better to always be steady." This matter has long been decided, and Acacia said without twisting.
"I always want to give you better." Mo Liang hugged Acacia and sighed again, but where in this world is there a law of both, it is not easy for Chen Guo to find a safe place, if he wants to get married at this time, it will not be easy for Acacia uncles and aunts to appear, let alone relatives and friends in the past.
"I'm not going to marry you for better." Thinking of the bad fate that was not blessed in the previous life, this life has been much better, and it can be avoided in the troubled times, and I believe that the family will not blame, and they are afraid that they are more afraid of the treachery of the fence and climbing the high branches.
Mo Liang stretched out his hand to touch Acacia's cheeks, always felt that no matter how he hugged him, he was like a person who could never eat enough, the more he got it, the more he wanted to get more, he hoped that Acacia would only smile at him, he wanted Acacia to always be just a treasure in his palm, he wanted Acacia to only see him alone in his eyes, entangled in life and life, he wanted to monopolize Acacia.
He suddenly thought of the day of lovesickness, the master who made him more and more jealous had clearly wanted to get lovesickness in the letter, he didn't know what would happen when he waited for the owner to come in person, he didn't even know if he could survive under the unfathomable owner, but he clearly understood that even if he died, he would not give lovesickness to anyone, even if that person was kind to him, he could even be an ungrateful bad person for lovesickness.
"Acacia...... These are troubled times. Mo Li suddenly hugged Acacia tightly, and asked in a low voice.
Acacia was hugged by him, patted his back comfortingly, and said, "I know." ”
"After the death of the emperor, we are considered to have defected, and the original imperial examination may be useless, although the Four Seasons Villa is now obeying my orders, but if the owner of the village comes back, I am just a dispensable figure." Mo Liang spoke, and his heart was worried.
Acacia sensed that something was wrong with him, so she patted him and said, "So what? ”
"If one day I am down, the county lord can't do without me."
Hanging his head in frustration, he looked like a watchdog raised in the county lord's mansion, and Acacia pulled his long hair funny and said, "Don't be weird. ”
"If I don't have money, power and can't take the imperial examination, is the county lord willing to support me? Let me be a little white face who eats soft rice in the house? The more Mo Liang spoke, the more pitiful he became, and his eyes seemed to be bursting with tears when he looked at Acacia, how miserable and miserable it was.
"Look at your appearance, what's the benefit of me raising you?" Acacia couldn't be entangled by him, and he also joked.
Mo Liang pulled Acacia into the bed, opened the placket and put Acacia's hand in to warm her up, and said: "Xiaosheng is not talented, it's always okay to wash the pen and add fragrance, it's good not to warm the bed?" ”
Acacia was amused by his charming expression, and her shoulders shook in his arms.
"I don't dare to instruct Master Mo, Lord Mo is so talented, it's too wasteful to be a male pet for me."
Mo Liang gently pressed on Acacia's body, smelling the fragrance on her body, almost bewitching: "No matter how I am, I am also the county lord's person, and I am at the disposal of the county lord...... Can the county lord rejoice? ”
The acacia smile slowly disappeared, leaving only Mo Li's delicate face in his eyes, which gradually drew closer, and then the lips were moistened, and the tip of his tongue was slowly wrapped around him.
"There's a situation, hurry up!"
Just when the two were kissing inseparably, someone knocked outside the car, and the words were urgent.
Mo Liang raised his body with his long hair on a gloomy face, then quickly straightened out the placket of Acacia's clothes, and let her hide in the quilt, and then turned over the curtain and walked out.
Meng Huoran and Zhuang Jinyuan stood next to the car, and suddenly saw Mo Li's hair scattered, and the placket in front of his chest was still half open, one was unhappy and the other was ashamed.
"I'll talk about something later, let's go first." Meng Huoran is still clear-headed, he once had a stinging past, and now he has a virtuous wife, and he can understand Mo Li's age of blood and strength the most, but it was his sister who was sitting in the carriage, and he always had to warn a few words, but the current situation really can't tolerate the slightest delay.
Mo Liang didn't say anything, let the cold wind blow his long hair, he turned over and got into the carriage and drove forward, and the rest of the people got on their horses and escorted around the carriage.
When they had run a long way, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and he sped up the carriage regardless of the rest of the people.
"It's really ghostly, and there are the prime minister's lackeys everywhere." Meng Huoran raised his bow and crossbow and shot out, and watched from afar as a person fell from the carriage.
Zhuang Jinyuan took the waist knife from his waist and held it in his hand with a cold air.
"About twenty people, it looks like it's just a rabble."
Having said that, the crowd was not underestimated, they only waited for the carriage to run farther away, and then waited for the gang to reach the near and annihilated in one fell swoop.
However, no one expected that even if the cavalry that had originally come over was killed by Meng Huoran, there were still more than twenty people who should come, but at this moment, a group of black-clothed people rushed out of the woods, with swords in their hands and light steps.
"What's the matter? Are we in ambush? Zhuang Jinyuan counted the number of people in black, and sighed in his heart.
Meng Huoran was also sweating, and the rest of the people began to consider whether to follow the carriage and run first.
It's just that before they could think about it, the gang of black-clothed men actually flew in the opposite direction of them, and after two blinks, those black-clothed men surrounded those cavalry, their tactics were sophisticated and fast, and those cavalry didn't even have time to draw their blades before they lost their heads.
Meng Huoran and Zhuang Jinyuan glanced at each other, and without saying anything, they turned their horses' heads and galloped away in the direction of the carriage. No one knows where those men in black come from, but if they can help them solve a problem at this time, if they don't run at this time, they will be a complete fool.
Four hooves ran wildly, Zhuang Jinyuan and the others wanted to take the opportunity to leave here, but before they had run far, they actually saw that the carriage that was supposed to run farther actually stopped slowly.
"Mo Li, don't you want to leave? We're about to catch up. Zhuang Jinyuan shouted anxiously.
Mo Li sat at the front of the car, as if he had turned a deaf ear, his eyes staring closely at a carriage that seemed to have been waiting for a long time in front of him.
