Chapter 248: Li Yufen chases
The horse is indeed a good horse, and his feet are very fast, and after running all morning, he has reached the nearest station.
Jian Yu tightened the reins of the horse and stopped the horse, describing that although he was in the dust, he was in good spirits.
Lu Wanwan followed behind him, and the cloak covered her whole person, making people unable to see her appearance.
The two dismounted and entered the inn, gave the horses to the men to feed the grass, and found a remote seat and sat down.
The guy served tea, Jian Yu ordered two bowls of noodle soup and a few side dishes, then picked up the teacup to keep warm, looked at Lu Wanwan and asked, "Is it cold?" ”
Lu Wanwan coughed softly, shook his head and replied, "It's okay, I'm not cold." ”
Jian Yu looked at Lu Wanwan's slightly pale face, and her eyebrows were full of worry: "I should have known that I should have found a carriage, it just snowed yesterday, and it was the coldest time, if you continue like this, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." ”
"It's okay, I'm not as weak as you think." Lu Wanwan smiled, his expression was not very concerned, and while the two were talking, Xiao Er had already sent the food they ordered.
A bowl of steaming noodle soup went down to his stomach, Lu Wanwan felt that the master was a lot, and the sweat on his forehead finally dispelled the cold.
"Eh, it's snowing again." A guest sitting by the window looked out the window and said loudly.
When Lu Wanwan and Jian Yu heard this, they both looked out of the window, the snow was menacing, and after a while, it was as big as a goose feather, and the scenery outside the window seemed to be invisible.
"Looks like we won't be able to leave for a while." Jian Yu looked at the heavy snow and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, let's wait until the snow stops." Lu Wanwan also looked out the window and said lightly.
"Let's rent a carriage, I'm afraid it will be even colder in a few days." Jian Yu was still worried about Lu Wanwan's body, and couldn't help but mention it.
"Not necessarily." Lu Wanwan still shook her head, "The snow is so heavy, when the snow accumulates, the carriage will be more difficult to walk in the snow, and it is better to ride a horse, don't you have to send the news of the rebels back to Beijing."
Jian Yu listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her normal appearance, "I'm not in a hurry, it's still your body that is more important, and when Xue Ting is over, it's okay for us to rest for a while before leaving." ”
As soon as Jian Yu's words fell, he heard a commotion outside, and soon, a richly dressed young woman walked into the post station, looking anxious and talking to the little er.
The guests in the post station all looked at it curiously, and Jian Yu also glanced at it casually, but after just one glance, his face changed.
Lu Wanwan noticed Jian Yu's not very good-looking face, and also glanced at the woman, and didn't think there was anything special, so she turned her head and asked him, "Do you know that woman?" ”
"She is Li Yufen's personal palace maid, named Ting Lan." Jian Yu opened his mouth in a muffled voice, lowered his head slightly, and leaned his body inside.
Lu Wanwan was quite calm when she heard this, but she was a little surprised, "Li Yufen's palace maid, why did she appear here?" ”
"It's not that you don't know her, I'm afraid that there is some bad news in the capital, she must be unable to hold her breath and sneak out to find me." Jian Yu's brows furrowed, and her tone was a little irritable.
Lu Wan nodded lately, glanced at the palace maid named Ting Lan again, and then whispered to Jian Yu: "I'll go over and listen to what they have to say." ”
"Don't go, in case they recognize you......" Jian Yu stopped Lu Wanwan and said disapprovingly.
"It's okay, those palace maids shouldn't have seen me, and I won't approach, I'm wearing a hat, they can't see me." Lu Wanwan said this, and without waiting for Jian Yu's reaction, she had already gotten up and walked towards the door.
“…… Man, you find a few more people, silver is not a problem, our father-in-law ...... The lady is still in the car, and you can get the car out of the snow. The palace maid named Tinglan spoke to the guy at the post station in a commanding tone, and her attitude was very bad, and while talking, she looked back frequently, as if she was very worried about her "young lady" who was still in the car.
"This girl, if not, the snow is so big outside, and your young lady is not safe in the car, you first invite her to rest in the post house for a while, and the villain will immediately find someone to get the car out, and you wait for the snow to stop before going on the road, so it's not safer." The little two kindly reminded.
Ting Lan thought for a moment before he spoke again: "Now I want to ask our young lady, we are in a hurry, you can find someone to help us push the cart first." After saying that, he threw a piece of silver to the little two, and then hurriedly turned around and went out.
Xiao Er took the silver, he was overjoyed, and immediately found someone.
At the counter not far from Xiao Er, Lu Wanwan took two brand-new cups and walked slowly to his place.
Jian Yujian Lu Wan came back late and immediately asked her nervously: "Wanwan, you didn't recognize you, you are too reckless." ”
Lu Wanwan smiled, casually put the cup in his hand on the table, and said in a low voice: "I just listened to the conversation between Na Tinglan and Xiao Er, Li Yufen should really be looking for you, and she may be going to enter this post house in a while." ”
"Then let's go up quickly." Jian Yu was afraid that he would encounter Li Yufen, so he got up anxiously and said.
"Brother Jane, don't be impatient." Lu Wanwan pulled Jian Yu to sit down, "In my opinion, you might as well go back with her, it's best to pretend to be weak and injured, so that she thinks that you have escaped after a long time, so that after you return to Beijing, in front of the emperor, you can talk about it." ”
Jian Yu frowned when he heard this, although he knew that Lu Wanwan's mention was for his good, he didn't seem to want to do so.
Lu Wanwan saw his thoughts, and continued to persuade: "Brother Jian, although it is not your fault for the defeat this time, but the imperial court has lost 10,000 soldiers and five big ships after all, and after you return to Beijing, I am afraid that the emperor will treat you for offending, and then you Wu'an Marquis Mansion may also suffer some blame, but if you go back with injuries, the emperor may see Li Yufen's face, and maybe he will open the net." ”
"This time it was my mistake that led to such a miserable defeat, and the emperor should treat me for his crimes......" Jian Yu's expression was already painful and self-reproachful, and he said dejectedly.
"Brother Jane, I know that you are not afraid of being punished, but you should know that you can't have anything, are you willing to be willing to defeat this time, if you are not good at water warfare this time, I am afraid you will not lose so badly, those rebels will go ashore when they see it, and then it will be the time for you to really fight back." Lu Wanwan still has a very good set of persuasions, and directly grasped Jian Yu's weakness.
Jian Yu was silent after hearing this, and after a while, he nodded slowly, and said with a heavy expression: "Okay, I listen to you ......"
Lu Wanwan nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Then I'll avoid it first, and then ...... It's up to Brother Jane, remember, don't let Li Yufen be suspicious. With that, she walked slowly upstairs.
Jian Yu watched Lu Wanwan leave, gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and then jumped out of the window.
Outside the post station, the snowflakes are already all over the sky, fluttering like goose feathers, and the snow has also reached the instep, making it a little difficult for people to walk.
Li Yufen's carriage was stuck more than a mile away from the post station, just like a short stretch of road, Ting Lan walked a tea time, she held an umbrella, staggered to the carriage, and said to the people inside: "Princess, the slave has found someone to push the cart, it will be there in a while, the snow is too big, it seems that it can't stop for a while, or you go back to the post station first, and then we will go when the snow stops." ”
As soon as Ting Lan's words fell, the thick cotton curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, and Li Yufen's slightly irritated voice came from inside, "How can I get to the post station with such a heavy snow." After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said impatiently: "You go find a sedan chair." ”
Ting Lan immediately responded, and prepared to return to the post station to find a sedan chair. She hadn't taken two steps before she saw a black figure not far away, because the snow was too big, and she couldn't really see it, if it weren't for the black being really dazzling in a patch of white, she probably wouldn't have paid attention to that figure.
Ting Lan looked at it curiously, and his eyes suddenly widened, only to see that the black figure was under his feet with drops of red blood, lined with white snow, and the figure was slowly walking in, and the red color was also connected into a blood line, looking extraordinarily infiltrated.
Ting Lan was a weak woman, who was not very bold in the first place, but her face was pale at this time, and she couldn't help screaming and staggering in the direction of the carriage.
"What are you screaming about, what the hell are you doing, what should you do if you startle the princess!?" In the carriage, Li Yufen's other personal palace maid An Zhi opened the curtain and scolded Ting Lan.
"Sister, where are ...... There......" Tinglan's teeth kept fighting, and he pointed ahead with a look of horror as he grabbed the carriage.
An Zhi looked forward along her hand, and suddenly her face changed, she was better than Ting Lan, she was relatively calm, and said in a trembling voice: "What kind of person is this, let someone stop him!" ”
The guards around the carriage got the order and had already stepped forward slowly, as the man in black got closer and closer, Anzhi and Ting Lan were staring at him for a moment, and suddenly, Ting Lan seemed to have discovered something, and said to those guards in surprise: "You wait first!" ”
An Zhi frowned and glanced at Ting Lan, and asked, "What are you crazy about?" ”
"The man...... The man's appearance...... It seems to be ...... with Master Hou," Ting Lan replied tremblingly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yufen had already pushed open Anzhi by the window, and poked her head out of the window with an anxious expression.
Li Yufen only glanced at it, and hurriedly ordered the guards: "Quick, bring that person into the carriage." ”
Those guards followed Li Yufen's order, supported the man in black, and carefully sent him to the carriage.
Li Yufen had already gotten out of the carriage at this time, and helped the guards to help people into the carriage.
There was a warm charcoal stove burning inside the carriage, and a mist could float from the outside to the inside, Li Yufen didn't care about the dirt on the person's body, so he directly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it on his face, Anzhi also sent hot water and a handkerchief at this time, Li Yufen quickly changed the hot cloth soaked in water, and wiped the blood on his face.
"Brother Jane......" Seeing the man's face, Li Yufen's tears flowed out like a broken thread, hugged Jian Yu's head, and cried sadly.
Jian Yu's consciousness at the moment is actually very clear, seeing Li Yufen crying like this, she felt a little helpless in her heart, stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, and said very "weakly": "Don't cry, I'm not ...... Are you alright......"
Li Yufen nodded again and again, but she still couldn't stop her tears, she carefully leaned Jian Yu on the soft pillow, and immediately instructed Ting Lan outside: "Tell those people who push the cart to come quickly, and then find a doctor, let's go back to Beijing immediately!" ”
Ting Lan immediately responded, trotted to the inn, and after a while, he came out with a group of people.
The group of men of sturdy physique, all of them pushed together the carriage which was stuck in the snow, and after a quarter of an hour the carriage was finally pushed out, just as the snow had begun to light and should soon stop.
Li Yufen ordered everyone to get in the car and get ready to go on the road, Ting Lan gave a reward to those who pushed the cart, and she was ready to get in the car, before getting into the car, she saw a red figure standing not far away, Xu is thing frightened her, and she couldn't help but look at it, it was a beautiful woman, wearing a fiery red cloak, and a few strands of brim fluttered in the wind, sliding across her white cheeks. There was an indifferent look in his black eyes. Her left ear was reddish and seemed to be wearing a pale red earring, which swayed gently in the wind. She stood in the snow like that, blood red and snow white intertwined, like a dazzling rose.
Ting Lan felt that her eyes were shaken by the snow, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she couldn't see the fiery figure anymore, she looked around in confusion, as if she was stunned.
"Tinglan, what are you doing, why don't you come up quickly, delay the Hou Ye's return to Beijing for treatment, can you afford it!?" An Zhi lifted the curtain and urged Ting Lan in an unkind tone.
Ting Lan immediately apologized, shook off the strange thoughts in his head, and immediately got into the carriage.
By this time the snow had stopped, and the carriage staggered down the road, and soon it was no longer visible.
Lu Wanwan appeared from behind the big tree in front of the post house, staring at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, and after a while, she retracted her gaze and looked at the blood stains on the ground that had not completely disappeared, and the corners of her lips slowly showed a wry smile, she didn't expect Jian Yu to be so desperate and hurt herself in order to be realistic, in this way, whether it is Li Yufen or Li Yan, they should not suspect him, after all, they are really injured.
Lu Wanwan sighed silently and walked slowly towards the post station, in fact, she somewhat guessed Meng Feiyang's intention to let Jian Yu go, but she just wanted Li Yan to be suspicious of him, Li Yan was already suspicious, if Jian Yu went back intact, I am afraid it would really be more auspicious, but ...... How could she let Jian Yu have an accident, it just so happened that Li Yufen appeared, which could be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. (To be continued.) )
