Chapter Seventy-Five: Night Run
Seeing Xie Jiang lying on the velvet pillow tiredly, Jiu Gongzi raised his hand to pull the dark grid on the wall, took out a fox and handed it over, and said softly: "It's snowing outside, just rest with a big hat, don't suffer the cold."
Wang Fu took it and covered it for the two of them, staring at Xie Jiang with wide eyes for a while, and looking at Jiugongzi for a while. Xie Jiang was dizzy by her, so he said: "Okay, I won't tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight" As he spoke, he glanced at Jiugongzi.
Jiu Gongzi took the blue and white porcelain bowl and shook it at Xie Jiang...... A calm ...... Accept it calmly......
Xie Jiang had no choice, rubbed his sour cheeks, and said softly: "Huo Shen has three fathers......"
"What?" Wang Fu screamed, and when he called out, he felt that something was wrong, so he raised his hand to cover his small mouth, and muttered in a small voice, "How can this be"
"What's so strange about this" Xie Jiang took the teacup in the hand of the ninth prince, took a sip, and said softly: "Huo Shen's father is a curling man, and the three sons in the family rely on wild vegetables for half of the year. There was no food, and certainly no money for them to marry. Later, I picked up a woman who had fled......"
Speaking of this, Xie Jiang covered his mouth and yawned, and said softly: "You know everything in the future."
Wang Fu felt aggrieved and muttered in a low voice, "What do I know?" Haven't you finished yet?"
For this kind of straight-hearted girl, Xie Jiang simply squinted his eyes at her, and then turned his face and asked Jiu Gongzi: "Do you want to go to Xinyu County at night?" ”
Fuyun Mountain is fifty miles west of Wuyang City, and the road leading to Xindu is at the bottom of the mountain. Wang Yan summoned that the second lady's life was in danger, so the ninth prince arranged for Meng Shen to go straight to Xindu after going down the mountain.
Two or three days to rush to the new capital, and then through the new capital area to Xinyu County. It will take more than ten days anyway.
I don't know how the second lady is doing now. I remembered that the cold and luxurious woman who threw her life to take a hairpin for her daughter. The scene of chasing the Zhao family all over the house, Xie Jiang's nose was sour for a while. Jiu Gongzi saw that her eyes were red, and he couldn't help sighing, and turned his eyes and told Wang Fu: "Accompany Xie Niangzi to rest for a while, I'll go out and have a look."
Wang Fu also saw that something was wrong with Xie Jiang, and opened his mouth a few times, but finally remembered. It can't be said that I already knew that the second lady was poisoned. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said a soft "um".
It's already dark, I don't know when. At the front of the carriage were a dozen guards armed with torches, and behind the carriage were a dozen men wearing white hoods.
The snow particles that fall sharply are reflected by the light of the torches, and they appear more and more dense. The ninth prince raised his hand to cover his eyes. asked Yuanshan in a low voice: "Is the accommodation arranged properly?" ”
Yuanshan said in a low voice: "There are still a hundred and ten miles away from the next Zhuangzi, and the snow is so thick." I can't say I'm going to go all night. It's better for Childe to go to the carriage and rest for a while" Speaking of this, seeing that Ninth Prince glanced at the car window, did not answer, and then said: "This carriage was originally Childe's frame. Mrs. Wang is a niece, and Mrs. Xie is still young...... It shouldn't matter either."
After a moment of silence, the fox on the body of the ninth prince was wrapped. He whispered, "Let's go, go ahead and find another car"
Snow fell outside the car. There are two silver and carbon stoves burning in the carriage, and it is very warm and comfortable. Xie Jiang hugged a big velvet pillow, thought about the second lady for a while, and then thought about Mama Han and a few people in Yujing Hantang...... In less than half a moment, he fell asleep in a daze.
Seeing that Xie Jiang's breathing was light and that he was already asleep, Wang Fu lightly moved the charcoal stove placed next to her lap and made a handkerchief to the corner. When she turned around, she saw Xie Jiang's back against the wall of the car, so she took two large velvet pillows and stuffed them behind her. After sitting for a while, he heard the wind outside getting tighter and tighter, and remembered the ninth son, so he pushed open the window.
The dream of the front drove the carriage, and the ninth prince beat the horse and followed the carriage. As soon as Wang Fu showed his face, Jiugongzi glanced at the car, turned to look at Wang Fu and asked, "Why don't you take a break?" ”
"How many people can sit in the carriage" Wang Fu looked at the thick snow on the hood of the ninth prince, looked back at Xie Jiang, and said, "Ah Jiang is already asleep." Uncle Nine came in to avoid the snow."
Thick snow covered the road, and the wheels were caught for fear of pits, trenches, and the like. Wu Daben led Wu Twelve and Iron Thorn and a few people, took a long branch in his hand, rode his horse for a few steps, and then stretched out the branch and poked it a few times in the snow nest.
This way of walking, from going down the Fuyun Mountain to the present, six or seven hours, has only walked less than thirty miles. At this moment, the snow is heavier than before, and in a snowflake flying curtain, the figures five or six steps away look blurry.
The Ninth Prince eased the reins of his horse, turned back and instructed Yuanshan: "Let Wu Da lead the people to find a place to shelter from the wind." Wait until dawn before leaving."
"Yes, the servant will go" Yuanshan bowed slightly to the ninth prince, beat the horse and galloped forward.
After giving these orders, the ninth prince looked at Wang Fu and said, "Close the window" As he spoke, he drove his horse against the door and walked a few steps, and then entered the carriage. Twisting his face to look at Xie Jiang curled up and sleeping under the fox Zhengxiang, Jiu Gongzi's eyes flashed a little warmth, and he said in a low voice: "Move the carbon furnace over" As he spoke, he relieved the fox and sat at the car door.
Wang Fu hurriedly moved the carbon furnace over and asked in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I can't see the road."
Jiu Gongzi let out a low "um".
After a while, Wang Fu saw her talking quietly with the Ninth Prince, Xie Jiang didn't even move, obviously sleeping very deeply, so he approached the Ninth Prince, and said in a small voice: "Ninth Uncle, is there something going on with my aunt?" After asking this, he saw that the ninth prince lowered his eyes and looked at the charcoal furnace, and there was no response, so he said again, "When A-Niang left earlier, she told me to take care of A-Jiang." I knew my aunt had been poisoned...... Uncle Nine is in such a hurry to send Ah Jiang back, is it ...... aunt?"
The ninth prince was just about to speak, when suddenly the carriage was crooked, and Wang Fu shouted "oops". Outside, the distant mountains reported: "Childe, Wuda has found a wood." I'm just off the road now, and it's not easy to walk here."
With the voice of Yuan Shan's words, the carriage shook from side to side even more violently. Jiugongzi whispered to Wang Fu: "Hold on to the wall of the car" Saying this, a pair of dark eyes crossed Wang Fu and fell on Xie Jiang, who was still asleep.
The fox cover covered the neck, and in the fine fluff, only Xie Jiang's palm-sized face was exposed. At the moment, I am breathing evenly and lightly, and I am obviously sleeping soundly.
The ninth prince said in a low voice: "In the morning, your father sent a letter saying that your aunt is in danger, and it is not very appropriate to see it. Ask me to send her back to Xie Fu......"
When he said "her", Jiu Gongzi's eyes condensed on Xie Jiang's face again. Under the red glimmer of the furnace, I clearly saw that on Xie Jiangying's white cheeks, there was a flash of water.
The ninth prince choked in his chest in an instant.
