Chapter 104: On the Road
In fact, Situ Huai's ear is very powerful, just now when he heard the light footsteps outside the door, he knew that it was Qu Miaoling who came to make an appointment.
But the scenery outside the window was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"That is, in order to welcome Miss Qu's arrival, the king of this county has taken great pains!"
These words came out of Situ Huaiju's mouth, Qu Miaoling always felt a little weird, but she couldn't say why, she simply put it down, "His Royal Highness the King of the County called Miao Ling to come, shouldn't he ask Miao Ling to see the scenery!" ”
Situ Huai turned around, "It's just to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Miss Qu." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a kind of maid came with a tray of money.
Each dish is exceptionally exquisite, and it is very appetizing to look at.
Just after summer, it was the time when she had a lot of appetite, looking at the exquisite food in front of her, Qu Miaoling couldn't help but move her index finger.
When I came, I thought it would be a climactic meeting, but it turned out to be a face-to-face date between the two.
It's a bit of a shame to say.
A meal, the two of them used it quietly.
After the meal, Situ Huaizhu just said "all at ease" and watched Qu Miaoling leave.
On the way home, he asked softly and suspiciously: "Miss, what does King Jijun mean?" Just a meal? ”
Qu Miaoling couldn't guess, after all, in her previous life, she had heard about it, and this Situ Huai was scheming and extremely difficult to deal with.
It's just that now he is on his side, no matter what medicine he sells in his gourd, she is sure that as long as Situ Huai decides to agree, he will not regret it.
It's an innate trust in him.
Even Qu Miaoling herself didn't know why.
Perhaps, it was because of the life-saving grace of the previous life? Maybe!
Everything in the house was arranged, and Qu Miaoling set off the next day.
The father's guards were in front of the wagon, and the people in civilian clothes were mixed in the crowd, and the master that Situ Huai decided to hand over to Qu Miaoling also became Qu Miaoling's personal guard, riding a horse and following the carriage.
"Miao Ling, you must be careful when you go, no matter what you encounter on the road, remember and protect yourself, you know?"
The old lady walked out of the Buddhist courtyard rarely, and took Qu Miaoling's hand and did not let go.
Qu Miaoling comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm just going to pray for blessings, besides, there are so many people sent by my father to protect me, what will happen!" ”
Wen also added: "Miao Ling, your mother was not there when I entered the mansion, you go back this time, tell the county lord for me, everything is fine in the mansion, and in the future, I will definitely go to see her." ”
Qu Miaoling's face was expressionless.
Want to see her mother? She deserves it too!
Wen retreated, and Wu Dehou also said dryly: "Take care of yourself." ”
"My daughter saves."
Under the gaze of the old lady, Wen, and Wu Dehou, the carriage drove away from the Hou Mansion.
staggered out a long way, and said softly, "Miss, let's all leave, then Liu Gang's family doesn't know if they will be bullied!" ”
During the days of getting along with Liu E, I got along with Liu E very well, just like a little sister.
Although Liu Pu was driven away, Liu Jian was still in the mansion, and the Wen family was also in the mansion.
Thinking like this, Gentle became even more worried.
"Gentle, don't worry, I have already instructed Jiang Jingjing to let her hold the Wen family, and the old lady will also help, no matter how bad it is, I am not here during this time, the Wen family will definitely take care of the house, I deliberately let Zhuangzi's accounts go wrong, she will definitely go to check, the Wen family is busy like this, where is there time to be difficult Liu Gang?"
Think about it gently, too.
"Miss, aren't we just sitting back and quiet along the way?"
Wen didn't have the leisure to embarrass them, wasn't that a good thing?
Looking at the innocent and lovely gentleness, Qu Miaoling shook her head.
This gentleness still has to be experienced!
Thinking about her previous life, she didn't care about her family, but Wen used the means of the next generation, forcing her to go this way.
On the road, she trembled, sometimes making trouble with mountain bandits, and sometimes there were gangsters, so frightened that she only dared to nest in the carriage.
But in this life-
Qu Miaoling lifted the curtain, and a group of powerful guards appeared in front of him.
And the most conspicuous of them is the one sent by Situ Huaiju.
His back was very upright, his face was resolute, and his right hand was always straddling the sword, and when he heard the slightest sound, he would look at it as soon as possible.
Excellent hearing and strong martial arts, this is what Situ Huaizhu told him.
"Guard Ge, you're tired, drink water."
Taking advantage of the fact that the carriage stopped to trim and gently came over with water, she looked at the man whom the young lady had specially ordered to be treated specially, and she was also very puzzled in her heart.
What is the identity of this man?
She had a tentative mind, but Katsuragi was cold, didn't say a word, and took away her kettle, and the most annoying thing was that she didn't even say thank you.
Gentle and crazy, she stomped her feet, turned back to the carriage, and complained to Qu Miaoling, "Miss, you don't know, that Ge guard is so angry, I kindly sent him water, and he snatched my water without saying a word of thanks!" ”
Softly whirring, like a fried kitten.
Qu Miaoling smiled, "I'm so angry, but that Ge guard is the person of the King of Jijun, otherwise, when I go back, I will tell the King of Jijun and let him repair this Ge guard?" ”
"Hmm."
Nodding softly and heavily, the fire was finally extinguished.
Gently took out another pot of water and handed it to Qu Miaoling's lips, "Miss, drink some." ”
Qu Miaoling took it and swallowed a few mouthfuls, the further south they went, the hotter it became, and they didn't have enough to prepare, seeing that it was still far from the next city, they had to find a way to get some food and water.
Walking to the anomalous mountain pass, Katsuragi and a few guards volunteered to eat in Quzhou, and a woman in a light blue skirt also went out with people to find food.
This woman is a medical woman that Qu Miaoling specially borrowed from Imperial Doctor Li, and she has good medical skills.
When Katsuragi came back with people, the lady of the building also picked some wild vegetables.
There were guards who knew how to cook, who made a delicious soup of wild vegetables, and roasted hares and pheasants, and their lunch was settled.
After another afternoon's walk, they stopped in a small town, found an inn, and stayed in it.
Because of the hot weather, Qu Miaoling did not wear a hat, and her exquisite face was exposed in front of everyone, and all kinds of exclamations were endless.
"Which lady is this, such a pomp!"
"No, such a beautiful girl, it stands to reason that our brothers should have heard of it."
"Look at their carriage, it doesn't look like a person here, I'm afraid it's from out of town!"
Ignore all the gossip. Qu Miaoling went straight upstairs.
After a day's journey, Ren was in a carriage, and Qu Miaoling was also extremely tired.
Jean gently set a room to go to the upper room, asked for hot water to take a bath, and she lay drowsy on the bed.
After lunch, Qu Miaoling slept again in the dark.
Xu slept too much, and in the middle of the night, Qu Miaoling Dao was a little awake, but he just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Just then, she heard the "creak" of the window being pushed.
Someone's coming in!
Qu Miaoling thought, she silently put her hand under the pillow, and there was a dagger for self-defense underneath.
Qu Miaoling grabbed the dagger in his hand, turned over and got out of bed, and hid under the bed.
The thief came in through the window, and before he could stand still, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and perhaps those people were still holding torches in their hands, and the little inn was brightly lit.
"What are you doing!" Softly came out of the next room and shouted.
Miss sympathized with her hard work tonight, and let her rest well in the room, where did she think, this moment of effort, she hadn't slept for long, and was woken up by screams and noise.
Gently turned over and got out of bed, subconsciously stopped in front of the door of the young lady's room, and just wanted to knock on the door to enter, the team of officers and soldiers rushed to the front.
The chief at the head has a sideways face, and his eyes are very scary when he looks at them.
But Qingrou didn't retreat, but stuck in her waist and said, "Who are you, what do you want to do!" ”
"We are officers and soldiers from Ai County, and we are ordered to arrest the fugitives."
As he spoke, the officer and soldier forcibly rushed into the inner room to search.
The other guests didn't dare to fight with the government, so they honestly let the search, and only gently argued, "No, why do you search casually!" ”
With the sound of "no" and "no" from the officers and soldiers, the leader's expression changed, "Now I have reason to suspect that the gangsters are hiding in this room!" ”
The leader's eyes were even more terrifying, but the gentleness still did not retreat at all.
"If you don't get out of the way, I'll arrest you!"
"Do you know whose room this is? The eldest daughter of Wu Dehou, the lord of An Hui! ”
When the leader heard this, he immediately said: "Then I can't help but search, if there is a problem with the life safety of the county lord, I can't take responsibility!" ”
"Search for me!" The leader shouted.
"You can't go in."
Gently tried desperately to stop people, but the door still opened.
"What about people!" Gently startled, she pushed away the officers and soldiers who were blocking in front of her, her eyes widening.
"What's going on! Miss! ”
The leader sneered, "Little girl, let you delay the time, now it's okay, your young lady is lost, see how you go back and explain!" ”
"No, you can't go! Our young lady is gone, you are also responsible, who told you to release the prisoner from the prison, you must get the young lady back! ”
The leader sneered again, "Okay, good, help you find your young lady!" ”
Officers and men flocked to the city, and they came out again.
In the blink of an eye, they all withdrew.
"The prisoner has not escaped far, give me an inch by inch search."
Gently rummaged through the empty bed, and was about to cry in a hurry, "Miss, it's all gentle's fault, I should accompany you!" ”
Gently hung his head in annoyance.
Not far away, Katsuragi stood with his chest in his arms, his face cold, "It's stupid, and it's even more stupid if you knock it again!" ”
Gently shouted subconsciously, "Don't worry about it!" ”
"Huh?" Gently came back to her senses, "You're a ...... The young lady is gone, why don't you hurry up and look for it, beware that your master knows about it and skins you. ”
"You'd better be careful with your skin."
"You don't have to worry about it, as long as my young lady comes back, I am willing to peel my own skin."
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were red, and she said something like this, I don't know why, Katsuragi's heart softened.
"Don't worry, your young lady didn't lose it."
"What did you say?" My lady didn't lose it? Are you telling the truth? ”
"It's the puppy who lies!" Softly shouted again.
This time, it was Katsuragi's turn to be speechless.
"Follow me."
Gently followed.
Na Cheng thought, that group of officers and soldiers were also here.
Soft's eyes widened, and just as she wanted to rush over and tell them that Miss was here, Katsuragi grabbed her arm.
"Shh
Nodding softly and dumbfounded, he followed Katsuragi into lightly.
