On September 16, the sun was setting, and the Zhou Ji caravan, the Gufu group and the team led by Bu Wu, the three gathered into a long procession to arrive at the county seat of Fengxian County. Four or five miles is not far. There are no crops or woods in front of you that block the view, and the county gate is close in front of you.

At this time, a carriage that was not luxurious and not too bad, guarded by six retinues, was separated by a distance of seven or eight meters behind Qingshu and his group. The carriage was encountered at the last fork in the road, and it was obviously about to enter the county seat.

It didn't take long for their long line to enter the county seat. Fengxian County is not big, but it is very rich and prosperous. When you arrive here, it is not far from the capital, and there is only one day left.

The moment he entered the city gate, one of the carriages of the ancient mansion broke away from the group. The coachman steered the horse pulling the cart to the side, and gave way to the main road, allowing the chariot and horse behind to pass. The Du guard, who was riding on horseback, followed the detached carriage and horse and also made the main road.

When the last carriage in their line passed, behind them was the unpretentious, but not too bad, carriage that followed them. The car, escorted by six retinues, turned east and continued on its way.

At this time, Du Escort signaled the detached carriage to go east. The driver received instructions to turn east. Escort Du followed, quietly paying attention to the movement of the carriage in front of him, pointing out the direction to the coachman from time to time. After about two quarters of an hour, the car turned into an alley and stopped at the back door of a house.

At this time, the Du guard did not let the coachman follow, but let the carriage stop at the entrance of the alley. At this time, a well-dressed mother-in-law and a maid came over and saluted the Du guard on horseback.

When the Du guard saw it, he said to the guard's car, "It's here, please get out of the car." ”

Hearing this, a servant came over and set up a stool. The mother-in-law and the maid immediately bowed their heads and opened the car door, and the latter reached out to help the man.

On the carriage, a woman wearing a plain brocade dress and a hat handed her hand to the maid, who helped her and stepped on the stool to get out of the car. Then, the maid and the mother-in-law hugged her and walked into the alley. The little guy standing with his hands hanging down on the side quickly took away the stool.

The woman walked forward lightly, and after walking about ten steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back. Because she was wearing a hood, no one knew what she was looking at or who she was looking at. At this time, the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley moved, and the guard Du lightly pinched the horse's belly with an expressionless face and walked away from the alley.

The mother-in-law and the maid urged softly, "Miss, the son has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Seeing that the carriages, horses and knights at the entrance of the alley were gone, the woman turned her face. She continued to walk lightly, and then, led by her mother-in-law and maid, she walked into a certain house. In a short time, the front door of the house was wide open, and a very luxurious carriage drove out. The carriage, escorted by ten sword-wielding retinues, sailed away.

The carriage of the Du guards and his guards did not turn around, but continued to walk. It took them a long turn to go west. Then I inquired all the way, walked all the way, and soon found the "Changtai Inn".

Steward Ding stood outside the Changtai Inn. Seeing that Du was escorting them back, he motioned to Xiao Er, who welcomed the guests in the inn, to prepare a horse stool. The carriage stopped, Xiao Er put the prepared stool away, and Steward Ding opened the door himself.

Xiaojuan got out of the car first, then turned around and reached out to help Qingyang down.

Qingyang, who completed the mission, entered the inn and went to the Qingshu house as soon as possible. He entered the door and said, "Sister, someone has arrived." ”

Luo Xiaorong and Qing Hao, who were pestering Qing Shu to listen to the story, looked over.

"Brother come on, sister wants to tell a story." Luo Xiaorong, who was holding Qingshu's arm and refused to let go, said.

"It's Daddy's story, brother, come and listen." As he spoke, Qing Hao's eyes sparkled.

Qingyang immediately rushed over and complained, "You two are listening to stories behind your brother's back." Hmph, brother has to listen from the beginning. ”

Qing Shu's eyebrows were full of gentle smiles. The number of people pestering her to listen to the story increased from two to three, and she recalled some of the things she had heard, and chose a story about the heroic deeds of the general's father to tell them. When the story came to an end, Bu Wu came to call the four of them to dinner. After dinner, it was already dark. Everyone ate for a while, then washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and everyone continued to hurry the next morning. Halfway through, they saw dust in front of them, and in the distance there seemed to be a group of knights galloping towards their procession.

Song Quan shouted twice, "Pay attention to vigilance, pay attention to vigilance." "Although it is not far from the capital, no one can guarantee that the vicinity of the capital will be safe, and no one can guarantee that there will be no trouble near the capital. For those who do their job, they should not be taken lightly at any time without delivery. What's more, they also have to ensure the safety of the future housemother on this trip.

From the coachman to the dart master of the Zhou Ji caravan, everyone's demeanor has changed.

The people on step five also cheered up and paid attention to the movement ahead.

The sound of horses' hooves, and the group of knights in front of them came closer and closer until one could see the silhouette of the knights. At this time, a group of knights slowed down, and the flying dust became smaller, making it more realistic.

After a while, he turned around at the front of the line and waved his hand and shouted, "It's my own people, it's my son, and my son is out of the city." ”

Hearing the shouting, Bu Wu smiled, "It's all thirty or forty miles away, hehe......"

Qingyang, who was sitting in the car, happened to hear it. He immediately lifted the curtain, poked his head out, and looked at Bu Wu, "Fifth brother, who has come out thirty or forty miles?" ”

Bu Wu pointed forward with the horsewhip in his hand, "Look for yourself." ”

Qingyang followed the direction pointed by the horsewhip and tried to look at it. After that, he waved his hand in surprise and shouted, "Brother Yan, Brother Yan......"

Luo Xiaorong and Qing Hao, who were in the same car with him, heard this, and hurriedly came over, dragging Qingyang left and right, and said something to let them take a look.

They made such a big noise, and Qing Shu, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, naturally heard it.

Xiao Juan was excited, leaning on the carriage window and looking out. Then, she quickly turned around and said, "Miss, Miss, it's really a young man." ”

The smile in Qingshu's eyes couldn't be hidden, but he didn't forget to reprimand Xiaojuan, "Sit down, stinky girl with no rules." ”

Xiao Juan stuck out her tongue and sat down immediately.

Zhou Boyan, who was dressed in blue, rode a horse heroically to meet him. He continued to walk in the voice of the caravan members, "I have seen the childe", and then found the carriage of the ancient mansion in the middle of the whole procession, and then he pulled the reins and let his beloved horse turn around in place a few times, and then turned the horse's head.

Bu Wu looked at him with a smile, "You're in a hurry." ”

Zhou Boyan didn't answer this sentence, but looked at the three heads crowded together in the narrow carriage window with a smile on his face, "What is this for?" ”

"Is my brother here to pick us up?" Qingyang asked with a smile.

"We're watching my brother." Luo Xiaorong replied.

"Hello brother." Qinghao greeted shyly and whispered.

Zhou Boyan smiled and said, "Sit down, you guys are like this, the carriage is bumpy and easy to snort." ”

Qingyang, the three of them answered in unison. Immediately, the three heads huddled together disappeared, and the curtain was lowered.

Zhou Boyan's eyes turned away, fell on the second carriage of the ancient mansion, and then let his horse follow the side of the carriage slowly.

The Lowe guard clenched his fist at him, then drove his horse forward with a thud, giving up his position to guard the carriage.

Zhou Boyan didn't speak, and immediately occupied the position given up by Luo's guards, and marched with the speed of the whole team.

Gu Shishi rode over and followed behind his master. "Miss Gu, are you tired on the road? Childe has already arranged a resting place, and has also prepared a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

There was no movement in the carriage. On the contrary, Zhou Boyan turned around and gave him a warning look.

Gu Shishi immediately drooped his head and didn't dare to speak again.

In this way, Qing Shu was in the car, Zhou Boyan followed outside the car on horseback, and neither of them spoke, but just hurried quietly and finished thirty or forty miles. The south gate of the capital stood majestically, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate motioned for the long line to stop and check. Hong Wei stepped forward, untied a piece of pure gold waist card from his waist, and showed it to the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers saw the waist card, they naturally did not dare to stop them. One of the people who seemed to be the little boss didn't say a word, waved his hand and shouted, "Let go." ”

So a long procession entered the city through the southern gate.

Qingyang couldn't hold back in the end, and lifted the curtain again and poked his head out, "Brother Yan, I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse." ”

Qing Shu was taken aback, but heard Zhou Boyan say, "Come here." Qing Shu frowned, muttering a nonsense in his mouth, but did not come forward. After a while, she heard the cheers of Qingyang outside.

Qingyang sat in front of Zhou Boyan, thinking that Zhou Boyan could easily carry him from the moving carriage, he was very excited, "Brother is so powerful." ”

Zhou Boyan grabbed the reins with one hand and supported Qingyang with the other, "Aren't you afraid that my sister will be angry?" ”

Qingyang, who was dizzy, reacted at this time, and hurriedly told the people in the car to forgive, "Sister, don't be angry, Xiaoyang is so happy to see my brother come to pick us up." Xiaoyang wanted to see the city gate and the appearance of the capital, so he forgot the rules. Is it okay if my sister isn't angry? ”

Qing Shu didn't want to speak, but her brother told her to spare it, how could she pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she said, "Yiqiē, settle down and talk about it." "Meaning, it's not over.

Qingyang hurriedly looked up at Zhou Boyan, "Brother, sister is angry, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Boyan sighed with a smile, and then said, "My brother is also at fault, my sister is angry, and my brother is also afraid." Let's not talk about this for now, but look ahead. Has this changed compared to two years ago? ”

Qingyang was immediately distracted, his eyes fixed on the scenery on both sides of the main street. What it was like two years ago, he couldn't remember. Two years ago, he only followed his sister to the capital for two days. Then, they left Beijing. And when he left Beijing, he honestly sat in the carriage, and he didn't even dare to peek out, what was like in the south city gate, he didn't know at all.
