Chapter 340: Long Time
"En, yes, it's all his fault, which made our little Lian'er angry." Chu Yueqing responded.
Mo Lian nodded, "That's it." ”
Qianying chuckled and quipped, "Then Mo Lian, do you want to go over and scold him again?" ”
Mo Lian didn't realize that Qian Ying and Chu Yueqing were deliberately playing tricks on her at this time, so she shook her head seriously and said, "If you don't go, I don't want to see him again." Our princess helped him so much, he didn't even know how to say thank you. ”
Chu Yueqing and Qianying laughed again.
Changsheng, who was lying next to the tree trunk and pretending to sleep not far away, opened his eyes after Mo Lian left, he picked up the small burden placed beside him, untied it and found that it was a bag of dry food, Changsheng raised his eyes and looked towards the carriage, at this time Chu Yueqing just lowered the curtain, and he only saw her side face flashing.
The corners of Changsheng's mouth hooked and he laughed softly.
……
On the evening of the eighth day, Chu Yueqing and his party finally saw a village.
She sent a group of guards to the village to spend the night.
At nightfall, a group of guards greeted them at the entrance of the village. Chu Yueqing got out of the carriage and talked to them on foot.
"Almost all of them in the village?"
"Fourteen people, mostly old people, women and children. Eighty miles further on, there is a town, and we should hurry up tomorrow, and we should be there before dark. ”
Chu Yueqing nodded: "Okay, let everyone have a good rest today, and set off at dawn tomorrow." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Chu Yueqing has already told them that when she is out, let them call her Mrs. After all, the wife of a rich family is much more friendly than the princess.
They spent the night in the courtyard of the village chief's house in the village, which was not large, with only two main houses and three partial houses.
The village chief's family crowded into a main room. Chu Yueqing and Mo Lian Qianying had a main room, and the remaining room, one was given to the rough maid, and the remaining two were given to the guards.
When Chu Yueqing arrived at the courtyard of the village chief's house, he subconsciously looked back, but there was no trace of immortality behind their convoy.
Where did it go?
Chu Yueqing was a little puzzled. But on second thought, it was better to leave, at least she didn't have to worry about what he had in mind all day.
During the night, the group rested.
The leaders of the two groups of guards took turns to keep vigil, but they had been on the road for so many days in a row, and their bodies were already tired. In the second half of the night, the leader of the second group fell asleep after watching.
After he fell asleep, a shadow jumped lightly and jumped onto the roof of the main house where Chu Yueqing and the others lived.
Changsheng sat on the roof, frowning slightly as he watched the sleeping guard.
Sleeping so dead, I'm afraid someone will come and kill him, and he won't know how he died when he goes to hell.
And the same sleepless as Changsheng is Chu Yueqing.
She walked to the window lattice and looked at the guard, who had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but feel worried.
The day after she set out from Qingluo Town, she talked to these guards and told them to be more vigilant on this lying road, because she had a gut feeling that the matter of the Red Feather Sword was not really over yet.
There are more than a few people who are eyeing it.
Therefore, she did not take the official road, and deliberately found a small road to walk. But the peace and quiet of the past few days made the guards take her words as a deaf ear.
At dawn, Chu Yueqing and his party left the village.
On the road, Chu Yueqing saw Changsheng behind the convoy again, riding a brown horse and slowly following.
She breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, thinking that she had found a place to spend the night yesterday.
After walking non-stop for eight hours, Chu Yueqing and the others finally took advantage of the night to come to Hongfu Town.
It is different from the prosperity of the capital, and it is also different from the quietness of Qingluo Town. Hongfu Town is a real ancient town, although when they entered the town, they had already reached the point of holding the lamp, but there were still many small vendors on the streets.
Qianying got out of the carriage and asked a woman who was setting up a stall if there was an inn nearby.
The woman enthusiastically pointed out the way to them, saying that less than two miles ahead was the largest inn in their town, the Hongfu Inn.
Qianying thanked her, bought some gadgets from her stall, and then got into the carriage to reply to Chu Yueqing.
Chu Yueqing said tiredly: "Well, that's good, I can finally rest well tonight." ”
I didn't sleep all night last night, Chu Yueqing entered the inn, and was led by Xiao Er to the wing room to rest. The matter of staying in the hotel was handed over to Qianying.
Changsheng also stayed at this inn.
Sleep until dawn.
Early the next morning, Chu Yueqing came to the front hall for breakfast.
Only then did she notice that the shopkeeper in the store was unusual, and that one of the shopkeeper's eyes was invisible. Chu Yueqing's heart jumped suddenly.
Qianying noticed her expression, and said, "Madam, the slave maid has inquired, this shopkeeper was born with a disease and was brought from her mother's womb." ”
Chu Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you checked with the residents here?" ”
Qianying said: "The slave maid has asked the people in the town. ”
Chu Yueqing said: "That's good." ”
As they spoke, they walked to the table and sat down, and the shopkeeper came over with a smile, "A few of you are objective, what do you want to eat?" ”
Chu Yueqing said: "Two light dishes, three bowls of porridge are enough." ”
"All right," the shopkeeper replied, and ordered the man to go down and do it.
Chu Yueqing and the others are going to stay in Hongfu Town for two more days, and the dry food they prepared when they set off from the capital has almost bottomed out, if they don't prepare, they are afraid that they will not be able to go far, and they will starve to death.
It's the first time for the group to go far away, so it's always good to be cautious.
In the afternoon, one group of guards went out to buy, and the second group of guards stayed behind.
Chu Yueqing stayed in Hongfu Town nervously for two days, but what she was worried about did not happen, and no one came to look for the Red Feather Sword.
But the silence didn't let her down.
She always felt that the quieter it was now, the more dangerous it would be in the future.
Leaving Hongfu Town, their next destination is Hongzhou. They took small roads all the way and deviated from the road, so they bypassed many states and counties, but Hongzhou could not be bypassed.
Hongzhou is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is steep, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, if they want to reach Yunzhou safely, they can only take the big road.
Two days later, they were on their way again.
In mid-November, they arrived in Hongzhou.
Although Hongzhou is some distance from the capital, it is not Jiangnan after all, and it is about to enter winter, when Chu Yueqing and his party arrived, they caught up with the heavy rainstorm, and most of the people caught a cold for a while, and they had to stop in Hongzhou.
In the Happy Luck Restaurant, Chu Yueqing looked at the heavy rain pouring outside the window and was worried.
This heavy rain is coming, and I am afraid that the weather will be even colder.
But because they were going to Jiangnan, they didn't have much winter clothes. Especially those guards, relying on their kung fu foundation, they only brought autumn shirts.
So in this heavy rain, Chu Yueqing and a few women were fine, but the group of guards and coachmen fell ill.
They could not move on, so they had to wait for their illness to heal before setting off.
