Chapter 100: Stone Beam is Frightened
Du Ziqi also saw the steep stone beam from a distance.
The stone beam was very strangely born, and from a distance, it looked like a long twisted snake coiled on the mountainside. The body of the snake is raised, although one side is a mountain wall, but it is not connected to the mountain wall, but there is a deep ditch between it and the mountain wall, and the other side is directly an abyss, and only the clouds and mist can be seen rising from under the mountain stream.
Du Ziqi was secretly surprised, I don't know how the terrain here was formed, it was really steep and abnormal.
At this time, the car in front of him stopped again. The coachman of the Prime Minister's Mansion also hurriedly shouted, stopped the carriage, stood up and looked at the stone beam not far away, and smacked his tongue and said, "Good girl, if you want to pass over this stone beam, you will end up with broken bones if you are not careful." ”
Du Ziqi frowned slightly, looked up at the peaks on both sides, and only saw all kinds of rugged rocks, and occasionally the trees were not luxuriant species, so they didn't seem to be unusual
"Brother, you said that this prince is just incense, and he has taken such a dangerous road, what is the picture?" The coachman grumbled quietly.
Du Ziqi's heart moved slightly, yes, what is the prince's picture and it seems that Fang Xueqing has understood, and he still doesn't understand, this feeling is very bad.
Du Ziqi was frowning and pondering, but the guard in front of him came over with a black face and said coldly to the coachman: "You, come down, go to the back to lead the horse, I'll catch the car." ”
Ah, the coachman was stunned, how could the prince's cronies come to pull the two servants behind the car, how does this matter sound so fresh
Although he was puzzled, the coachman had a smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "The driving skills of the guard brother must be excellent, this stone beam is thrilling, thank you for the help of the guard brother." ”
The guard's face darkened. I didn't answer, I don't know if I was dissatisfied with the work I was assigned.
When the coachman had given up his seat, the guard leaped from his horse, and stood in the driver's seat, holding the reins of the horse with both hands, and did not sit down, as if he were going to stand and control the horse in this way.
Look at the guard holding the reins. Just know it's a good hand. The coachman of the Prime Minister's Mansion whispered to Du Ziqi, who was still looking at the guard: "Let's go, let's go to the back." ”
Du Ziqi frowned and looked at the stone beam in front of him. The prince's car was in front, and the two cars were so close that there was a slight difference on this thrilling stone beam. If you don't do it, it will be the end of the jade burning. Although there were many doubts in my heart, I didn't say anything in the end. to the back.
Mama Cai lifted the curtain at this time and said, "This little brother, but the prince sent you"
Although the guard spoke coldly to the coachman and Du Ziqi, he was polite to Mama Cai, and replied, "Exactly." My prince is worried that the coachman of your house will not be able to cope with the stone beam, the villain is not talented, and he has a small skill in controlling horses. Don't worry, the stone beam isn't too long. It will soon be able to get through guò. ”
At this time, seeing that it was the guards of the palace who drove the car in person, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and thought in her heart, they all said that these six princes were kind-hearted, and it seemed that what they said was true, and they were all lowly servants, and the six princes also specially sent personal guards to help catch the car, which was really benevolent.
At this time, the car began to move slowly again, and the prince's car was driven by four cars, although the speed was faster than that of ordinary carriages, but it was also more difficult to control. Not to mention that on this narrow and dangerous road, as long as a horse steps on the wrong foot and loses its hoof, it will be the end of the car being destroyed and people killed.
However, the horses in the palace were all good horses, and they had undergone strict training, and the guards who acted as coachmen in front of them were also good hands, and at this time he also took out a long whip in his hand, and from time to time he whistled on both sides to remind the horses of their pace.
Therefore, although the prince's car is large, it is unusually smooth to walk on this dangerous road.
The prime minister's chariot followed, and unlike the guard chauffeur in front, this guard did not hold a horsewhip, and did not give various commands to ride a horse like an ordinary groom. It's just that they control the reins with one hand, and the two horses in Xiangfu have no spirit, and they are obediently walking with their heads down at this time.
It's just that Du Ziqi feels strange that this guard is driving the carriage, and at the same time he looks up from time to time, looking a little uneasy.
Du Ziqi had more doubts in his heart, and he followed the carriage closely.
In the carriage of the royal palace,
Fang Xueqing opened the curtain and looked out, and sneered: "It's really hard for the prince to find such a good place for setting up an ambush, but what Xueqing doesn't understand is that the prince has spent so much time, but why in the carriage behind, one is an old woman who is dying, and the other is a stupid and stupid little girl, these two people don't look like objects worthy of the prince's big money." ”
The sixth prince had already sunk his face at this time, as if he was listening attentively to the movement outside, and the other party's sneer and sneer at Xue Qing were also unheard.
Fang Xueqing frowned, although she guessed that there must be deception in the prince's journey, but she couldn't guess what the prince's purpose was, and what the ambush was like.
Because the two horses of the Prime Minister's Mansion themselves had not undergone much training, they had injured their muscles and bones before, although the guard was bent on ~ controlling the horse to keep up with the carriage of the palace, and finally gradually fell down.
Seeing that the car of the palace in front of him was about to turn a corner, and he couldn't see it, the guard seemed to be in a hurry, and suddenly jumped on the back of the horse driving in front of him, and rode on the horse to urge the horse forward. But despite this, the car of the palace is still not visible.
The guard suddenly cursed a foul word, Du Ziqi's ears moved, as if he heard something, he couldn't help but look up, it didn't matter what he saw, he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, on the mountain wall above the carriage, there were constantly gravel rolling down, which was a sign that a boulder was about to fall off.
"Let's go, don't stop," Du Ziqi shouted.
The guard also knew the danger, and at this time he took the risk of slapping the jujube red horse under him, and the horse was in pain, neighed, and walked much faster.
Du Ziqi followed behind the car at this time, seeing that the boulder was about to fall, it was also impossible, fast and fast, there was a carriage in front of him, and the only way was to turn around and withdraw, but there were two women in the car, an old man and a young woman.
"Feifei, Mama Cai, there are boulders on the mountain that are about to fall off, we must leave immediately" Du Ziqi urged the horse to approach the carriage and said urgently.
The curtain of the car was opened, revealing Chu Feifei's slightly pale little face: "Brother Mu, what to do" Mama Cai behind her was already so frightened that she was speechless, only trembling her lips and unable to speak. To be continued
