Chapter 279: Go South and the Same Road
On May 19, Shuxin spent the night in the "Falling Lotus House", and after breakfast on the 20th, the group that had already been prepared got into the carriage heading south.
It takes ten days to take a carriage from Fengxian to Nancheng at a normal speed, in addition to Nangong Lan, Luo Zihong, and Shuxin, there are also hundreds of miles of night companions. The attendants who accompanied him were headed by Xu Shan, with four servants who were taken care of by Nangong Lan's side, Qiu'er and Xiao Zhu. Although Xu Shan decided to cultivate Shu Kai himself, but now Shu Kai is still in the initial stage, Xu Shan will first be taught by the people below when he returns to Nancheng this time.
Mingli followed the six guards, and Xue Zijing followed secretly with the secret guards.
The group except for the guards all took a carriage, Nangong Lan, Luo Zihong, and Baili Linye each took one, Shuxin took Qiu'er, Yan'er, and Xiao'er to sit in one, Xu Shan took one alone, Nangong Lan's four servants took one, plus a carriage for carrying goods and a carriage for running Li.
There are many towns along the way this time, but some towns take more than half a day to walk, while others take a whole day.
Eight carriages traveled at the same time, this is not a huge procession, and it is not uncommon for it to appear on the street, but it is also eye-catching.
Fengxian County has basically restored the previous calm, and the calm after the excitement always makes people feel particularly calm, faintly revealing an indescribable loneliness.
The carriage traveled all the way to the south city gate, the four city gates of Fengxian County have two passages regardless of going out of the city or entering the city, because it is the peak period of going out of the city, the queue out of the city is a little long, comfortable and bored to look at the street scene outside from the car window, a gust of wind blows. Blowing up the curtains of the carriage next to it, which was also waiting to leave the city, I saw a moonlit figure in the carriage. That kind of gentleness, gentleness, nobility and handsomeness is Yun Mu.
Car curtains rise and fall in the wind, through the window. Looking at Yun Mu who was sitting in the carriage and reading quietly, this kind of picture had a very special sense of calm beauty, and Shu Xin couldn't help but enjoy it all the time.
Until Yun Mu looked up with some feeling, Shu Xin was shocked, and almost subconsciously looked away, and was caught peeping, Shu Xin was somewhat embarrassed, but after thinking about it, it was nothing for her to take a look, right? Anyway, they all know each other, since they were discovered by the other party. Then it's time to say hello! Why do you have to look away?
Shu Xin exhaled a breath of chagrin, and looked at Yun Mu carefully, facing Yun Mu's bright phoenix eyes, the eyes seemed to be as soft as spring rain, but it made Shu Xin's heart "chuckle" a little, she always felt that Yun Mu's picturesque eyebrows, with a hint of sharpness under the light breeze, stabbed people panic.
"Shepherd boy is also out of the city!" Shu Xin tried to stabilize his mind, smiled lightly, and bowed his head towards Yun Mu.
Shu Xin thought that Yun Mu would ignore her, but he didn't want Yun Mu to deepen the light smile on his face slightly, nodded and said, "Yes!" Miss Shu is also out of the city! β
"Hmm." Shu Xin nodded. Relieved, happy to be able to chat normally, so he said more: "We are going to Nancheng." What about the shepherd? β
"Go to Jingcheng." Yun Mu generously said to sΓΉ comfort, and his eyes flashed with a hint of meaning.
Shu Xin frowned slightly, and looked at Yun Mu suspiciously.
Yun Mu smiled slightly: "Go down to Jingcheng to confirm the news that the girl sued sΓΉ in the next place." Miss Shu has to think about what reward she wants when she follows her. β
If it weren't for the news she gave, Yun Mu wouldn't have to go to Jingcheng, right? Shu Xin said with a smile: "I will spend time all the way thinking about it." It is said that going to Jingcheng and Nancheng seems to be the same road for eight days! We really have fate! β
"Then I have to ask Miss Shu to take care of me along the way." Yun Mu hugged his fist like a decent salute to Shu Xin.
Shu Xin didn't expect Yun Mu to say this. After a pause, he smiled and said, "The shepherd is polite." We take care of each other, well, take care of each other. β
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the conversation between Shu Xin and Yun Mu ended.
The carriage went out of the city, all the way to the official road, passing through one fork after another, there were fewer and fewer carriages on the same road with Shuxin, and the official road between the big towns was wide enough for four carriages to run in parallel, but generally the carriage was accompanied by guards on horseback protection, and one road occupied the road was basically only enough for three teams of convoys to run in parallel.
After leaving the city, Shu Xin and Yun Mu they have been keeping a distance not close or far, Yun Mu and they only have one carriage, in front, Shu Xin and their eight carriages are behind, because they are not in a hurry, the speed of the carriage is not fast, but the horses are jogging at a normal speed, and the distance has not been opened.
Today's weather is sunny and blowing a southerly wind, which makes it feel particularly muggy.
In the carriage, a box containing thousands of years of cold ice was placed to cool down, which made people feel more comfortable, Qiu'er was embroidering, Yan'er was making hairpins, Xiao'er was reading recipes, and Shu Xin was holding a book on his knees, holding his head with one hand and looking out of the window.
It takes a day to travel south from Feng County to Rong County, the first town it passes through, and you have to eat your own dry food for lunch on this day.
Soon half a day passed, and the carriage stopped to rest.
The first time I sat in the carriage for such a long time, I felt a little sore from sitting in the carriage, and my legs were a little sore.
After resting for half an hour, eating and drinking, and continuing on the road, Yun Mu and the others did not stop the carriage to rest, so they threw away a lot of comfort.
Shu thought to himself, what to do with peers and care is just polite talk, right?
It didn't take long for Shu Xin to fall asleep after getting into the carriage, and I don't know how long it took for the sound of the rain to wake her up from her sleep, Shu Xin squinted and watched the rain outside the window that was the size of beans falling little by little, and the sunlight was gradually blocked behind the clouds, and the raindrops became more and more dense, and soon became a downpour.
It rained heavily, the air was much fresher, and the rain fell for more than an hour.
Someone has already booked the inn in advance, and they can check in directly when they arrive, and after washing up and cleaning up, they will go to Nangong Lan's room next to them to have dinner with him.
The house of this inn is in the form of a hollow, two floors, with five rooms on each side, four cloisters in it, connected to each other, and four corners have stairs down to the first floor, and they comfortably encompass ten rooms on the left side up and down.
After a day of carriage comfort, I felt a little tired, and after dinner, I sat with Nangong Lan for a while and then went back to the room to rest.
The rainy night is cool, and the temperature is perfect for sleeping, so you can comfortably climb into bed and lie down for a while before falling asleep.
Not long after falling asleep, Shu Xin was woken up by the sound of fighting, in line with the attitude that it doesn't matter and has hung high, Shu Xin pulled the quilt and continued to sleep, but when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a loud "bang" from the opposite side.
Shu Xin sat up in fright, jumped out of bed and ran to the window, opened the window and looked at the opposite side...... (To be continued......)
