Chapter 26: Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity
At noon, the gentlemen gathered in the main hall of the post house for a drink or two. The girls took refuge in the guest room on the second floor and simply used a few side dishes. Jiang Ying took a nap on the Hu bed for a while, and was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by Chunying in a hurry, saying that it was ordered by the prince to leave immediately.
Rubbing her eyes in a daze, could it be that she has been sleeping for a long time, why is it getting dark? "What time is it?"
"Miss, it's just halfway through. It looks like it's going to rain on this day, and it's windy outside, so you need to add a gown outside. ”
Knowing that it was going to rain, the man still ordered to leave at this moment? Jiang Ying stood up, very cooperative, and let Lu Fu change her clothes and comb her hair. Simply pulled a bun, went to the next door to call Jiang Rou, and the two went out side by side.
When he walked outside the door, he saw that everyone had arrived. The man, dressed in a pale blue robe, stood under the porch. Looking into the distance, there was only one back, which Jiang Ying could easily distinguish.
The seventh girl came to Jiang Yu's side quietly and sighed secretly, some people are born to be favored by God.
Just like him, he is dressed in a robe at will, and he looks like he is all graceful and graceful. It is clearly the simplest style, and he wears it with a charm......
Hearing the footsteps of the two of them approaching, Gu Yan glanced back at him faintly, turned around and bowed slightly towards Guan Xu, walked down the steps, and stepped on the stool to board the carriage.
With the curtain opened by Zhou Zhun, the man bowed down and entered, from beginning to end, without saying a word.
The seven girls didn't feel smacked. I haven't seen him for most of the month, and the power of the prince is even more urgent.
"Ahh Jiang Yu took her little hand, took the person with him, and helped her into the car. I didn't worry about telling me again, so I went back and sat steadily, straightening my waist and sitting on the horse.
When he looked back, he saw the seventh girl on the window edge, smiling and staring at him.
"How?" Second Master Jiang frowned.
"The second brother even gets on the horse." said that he was talking towards him, but he saw the second master of the Zhang family beside him waving his clothes, his sleeves and robes were spread, and his long legs were crossed, which was very free. is also on the horse, made by Zhang Chen, but it is pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Jiang Yu's face sinking, Jiang Yu quickly lowered the curtain, exhaled, pursed his lips and snickered.
Since leaving the house, this is the third time Jiang Yu has warned her to "stay honest". When she was away, Jiang Yu took stricter care of her. But she didn't do anything, did she? The seventh girl felt aggrieved.
"The seventh sister is just playing with you, and she is very cruel." Zhang Chen's smiling eyes were a little maintained.
Jiang Rou only felt that this scene was extremely dazzling, retracted her head, and slammed down the curtain of the car. The depression that was blocked in my heart for a morning is now entangled in my heart and is difficult to vent. The proximity of the man made her distraught and ashamed to see him.
"Let's go." After receiving the order of the prince, Zhou Zhun grabbed the reins, raised his hand and called for peace, and the whole team moved forward in an orderly manner. Except for the three carriages that were escorted in the center, everyone was whipping their horses and making great noise.
In the carriage, Guan Xu spread out a map and looked at it carefully, for fear of a mistake.
"The subordinate has already deployed men here in advance according to your instructions." The folding fan taps in two places, but it is a narrow mountain road intersection. "It's just that the two girls in the back are suddenly frightened, will there be an accident?"
This time, the prince had insight into the opportunity, and even the Jiang family and the Zhang family were ventilated in advance, but they only hid it from a few female dependents. Guan Xu didn't know why the prince insisted on going his own way, so he had to take the girl's family on the road, but he didn't dare to go against his will.
Gu Yan's eyes fell on the place where Zhu Pi was circled on the map, and the man leaning on the brocade couch supported his forehead with one hand, as if he was looking forward to it. "It's up to her to react."
"Miss, it seems that the rain won't stop for a while." Chunying showed a sad look. It's only been a long time since it came out, and the light rain that was still drizzling has now become a pouring trend. The riders were already donning their cloaks, and the convoy was slowing down.
Jiang Ying looked out when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw that the sky was gray, gloomy and gloomy overhead, and there was a kind of suffocating depression. The branches of the trees beside the road were rustled by the wind, and even on the official road, it looked muddy and bumpy.
If Jiang Yu is right, in another quarter of an hour, he will enter the mountain road, where can he walk smoothly in this kind of weather? Looking at Jiang Yu's cheeks covered by the hat on the side, the bean-sized rain was blown by the cold wind, slapped obliquely on his face, and dripped down the bridge of his nose. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will have to catch a cold.
"Second brother, don't ride a horse, and go to the carriage to avoid it first." Thinking about it, just greeting Jiang Yu, it seemed that something was wrong, and Jiang Ying immediately remedied. "I took the maid to the fifth sister's car, and vacated this one, just to free up a few brothers to shelter from the rain." In this way, Jiang Nan who was following outside Jiang Rou's carriage could also be summoned.
"No, it's too crowded." Jiang Yu approached and covered the curtain for her. "Take care of yourself, it's raining outside."
At this time, Zhang Chen also came over, but it was specifically to calm her heart. "Seventh sister rest assured. Although we are scribes, we also practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies. I had encountered such heavy rain before, but I had never fallen ill. It's you, a delicate girl, who got out of the car in the rain, but it's not beautiful when you suffer from the cold. ”
was rejected by the two of them, and Jiang Ying had to give up. It's just that I can't figure it out more and more, I can still rub it for an hour just now after eating, why is it that at this moment, the wind and rain are so strong, I can't wait for a moment?
Why didn't she understand that man's actions?
Someone in the quiet team spoke, and Gu Yan's closed eyes slowly opened. "What?"
Zhou Zhun looked back and quickly guessed a rough idea. "It should be the seventh girl who asked the second master to take shelter from the rain in the car, but the second master didn't respond."
"Hmm." knows that his brother and sister have a very good relationship, and they have a tacit understanding between their words, which is very conspicuous. The man asked no more.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and seeing that the wind was so strong that the curtain couldn't hold it down, Chunying lowered the window and completely isolated the cold outside. After walking for a while, they soon reached the intersection, and everyone turned left into the mountain road, and the surrounding vegetation gradually became denser.
"Ah Ming, I have arrived at the foot of the tea mountain. If you are tired of sitting, lie down and rest. There is still half an hour, and you can find a family to spend the night in the town ahead. ”
Through the window, Jiang Yu was afraid that she would be stuffy in the car for too long and would not be able to sit still. I specially sent her a message.
"Second brother, don't worry. It's very interesting to listen to Lufu talk about the customs of her hometown. ”
The woman's sweet voice came, without a little anxiety, but called Jiang Yu and Zhang Chen, who had been following her carriage, to look at each other and smile. That's right, according to her temperament, she is always unhurried, when is she in a hurry. It's better now, it's more reassuring to have fun on your own.
Jiang Ming's voice fell, but she heard a loud shout in front of her, in this silent mountain forest, like a thunderclap, which shook her immediately, and she was a little late to react for a while.
Before she could come back to her senses, the sound of swords and soldiers clashing all around, crisp and piercing blade strikes, mixed with occasional muffled snorts, accompanied by the sound of three heavy objects falling to the ground one after another, only made Jiang Ying instantly lift her heart, grabbed Chunying Lufu, and hurriedly shrank into the corner, avoiding the window as much as possible.
The three of them were close together, trembling with fear compared to the two girls, although Jiang Ying was also very scared, fortunately, he knew that there were nearly 100 private soldiers outside, as well as Zhou Zhun and Jiang Yu...... Also, the person who can make people perceive anything by all by looking at his eyes is anything but simple.
"Miss-" Lu Fu trembled, hugging her arm, her face pale. When did the girl who has been raised in the back house for a long time experienced such danger?
Before I came, although I also heard the mother-in-law in the yard talk about how scary the mountain bandits were, I didn't expect to meet one day.
The little hand stroked her back, Jiang Yu held her breath and silently comforted Lu Fu.
In the midst of the fright, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.
