The carriage had a lot of space, and it was more than enough for four people to sit in it, Mei Shuang and Shi Jieyu sat on one side, and An Riyan and his entourage sat on the other.

The carriage swayed back and forth at a gallop, and several people were silent.

Mei Shuang looked at An Riyan, who seemed to be sitting opposite him, who seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, and the tower-like retinue, and suddenly a bright light flashed in her mind, why did the emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom have to cooperate with the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom to find the treasure?

I remember that Xiao Luo said before that one of the purposes of the envoys of the Evil Horse Taiwan Kingdom was to exchange for Mei Ru, could it be that they joined the team to find the treasure just to exchange for Mei Ru and increase their bargaining chips for Mei Ru? But the secret of the treasure has always been known only to a few people, so why do the people of Yamatai also know it? Or did Xiao Luo deliberately let him know? Moreover, such a major event, the future is unknown, life and death are unknown, why would such an important person in the Yamatai Kingdom be directly involved? According to historical records, this An Riyan is not just an envoy of the Yamatai Kingdom, his real identity should be the younger brother of Queen Himiko.

Queen Himiko's younger brother personally participated in the search for the treasure, which shows that this is not a trivial matter. Therefore, the Great Qin Kingdom was willing to cooperate with them, and it could only be said that this batch of treasures must be useful to them, and what they were best at was witchcraft and ghost paths.

Thinking of this, Mei Shuang only felt a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet, and instantly sweated through her back.

Nima always thought that the non-mainstream means of using and manipulating some superhuman power to influence human life or events in the natural world would only occur in remote and uncivilized places, such as in the mountains of the southwest and some places inhabited by ethnic minorities.

According to the geographical location of Qishan, she never thought that there would be such a danger! No wonder Xiao Luo gave her a jet-black short sword before leaving, and the focus of daring to love is to ward off evil spirits in addition to self-defense.

As soon as she thought of the Gu poison that she had suffered from before, her scalp tingled for a while, you must know that Gu poison was just a small item in the witchcraft ghost path, and compared to those more complex "techniques", this was nothing at all.

Therefore, this time, the younger brother of Queen Himiko personally went into battle, which shows that the mystery in this is really not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Meishuang only felt that her heart was as heavy as a lead block, and she secretly complained bitterly, Nima ignored this important link before she set off, and she didn't know anything about it, and cooperated with the people of Yamatai, in case the other party changed her face halfway, and she could be regarded as planting a personal vendetta.

In a complicated mood, she looked at An Riyan, who was still closing her eyes in front of her, and instantly felt that her face was full of evil.

The sword has been off the string, and it is absolutely impossible to take it back, so you should be more careful.

She secretly cheered herself up, and her eyes shifted to Shi Jieyu beside her.

Shi Jieyu, as always, was quietly looking at a book, her eyebrows were calm, and she didn't seem to be very concerned about the difficulty and complexity of this task.

Just as panic can be contagious in a certain environment, the calmness of others can often stabilize one's own military spirit when people are nervous. Thinking that this mission should not be so troublesome, Meishuang finally had some comfort.

The two carriages kept speeding at a constant pace, one after the other, and there was silence throughout the carriage, except for the occasional whip of the coachman.

An Riyan opened her eyes and saw that Mei Shuang on the opposite side was holding a small book and studying it carefully, it was full of dense small characters, and the sun shone on Mei Shuang's face through the curtain, making her frown slightly.

The clear forehead, delicate face, fan-like eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the eyes, and thin beads of sweat can be seen on the small nose.

In the middle of summer, the carriage is impermeable, and it is naturally very hot.

Fortunately, they all changed into light men's clothes when they went out, and if it was a layer of Luo skirts, it would be dazzlingly hot. Seeing the difficult part, Mei Shuang's brows were tightly locked, and she was unconsciously a little annoyed, she reached out to touch the tea cup embedded in the groove of the desktop, but she didn't think about it, but she touched a hand, the knuckles were distinct, delicate but slightly hard, definitely not Shi Jieyu's slender jade fingers.

Mei Shuang was surprised and put down the small book in front of her, raised her eyes and met the gaze of An Riyan opposite.

There was a groove in front of everyone on the table with a teacup in front of them, just to prevent bumps, and unconsciously, Meishuang's hand crossed the line, and An Riyan was about to pick up the teacup and drink water.

An Riyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mei Shuang, who retracted his hand like an electric shock, and his pretty face suddenly covered his face with red clouds.

Her quick retraction of her hand alarmed Shi Jieyu, who was reading a book, and she moved the book away, only to see An Riyan leisurely holding up the tea cup, while Meishuang on her side was a little embarrassed.

In the afterglow, she also took a look, and said that this Miss Frost was too fascinated.

To alleviate the embarrassment, she said softly, "Where is this?" ”

Shi Jieyu's voice was not loud, but the coachman outside had excellent ear power, and immediately responded, "I have left the capital for eighty miles." ”

An Riyan glanced at Shi Jieyu, who was always quiet, she was indeed a beautiful embryo, and said in her heart that this Great Qin State is really outstanding, and the emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom is indeed a beautiful blessing.

However, what made him wonder why Meishuang would choose a concubine to be her partner. The emperor of the Great Qin State has always had seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courts, and although the women in the harem serve one husband, they are incompatible with each other. The Concubine Chen, who was instructed by Ziqing, is an example. It seems that sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for the emperor to be too prosperous. This Shi Jieyu is also the emperor's concubine, hasn't Mei Shuang considered what she should do if the other party is jealous and puts her in danger?

However, a woman's mind is difficult to guess, this Shi Jieyu at least superficially feels harmless, maybe people are considering this factor.

Shi Jieyu also knew that An Riyan was looking at her, and pretended not to see it, after all, she was the concubine next to the emperor of the Great Qin State, even if she had to go with the envoy of the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom on a mission, she must not take the initiative to talk to the other party beyond the rules, unless the other party spoke first or there was something unavoidable to communicate. Obviously, this is not necessary yet. In this regard, there is still a difference between her and Meishuang's identities.

Mei Shuang is the body of the abolished queen, and now she has no proper name, even if she is favored by the emperor, she is not a concubine who is officially sealed in the harem, so, relatively, Mei Shuang is freer than her.

She poured tea for Mei Shuang.

Mei Shuang had the heart to say a few words to Shi Jieyu to relieve the pain of pretending to be dumb for half a day, but when she saw An Riyan on the other side looking intently at this side, she was in no mood to speak.

Several people had their own thoughts, only the tower-like attendant beside An Riyan didn't seem to know that he was tired at all, and sat straight in place, holding his knees with his hands, not squinting, and from the time he set off in the morning to now, I'm afraid he hasn't even drunk saliva.

Meishuang looked out through the car window, and the sun had already set most of it.

In the villages you pass along the way, you can see the farmers returning with hoes at sunset and the smoke curling in the distance, and the innocent frolicking sound of children can be heard in your ears, and you can feel that there are still some different sounds on this boring road.

Time passed, and the red sun finally disappeared in the afterglow, and the twilight gradually came.

After a day's journey, the coachman and the horses were very tired, and the people in the car were all sore.

There is an inn on the way, which looks very clean.

For the inn, Meishuang is a little afraid, she has lived in the inn several times, nine times out of ten have encountered the situation, so this time she is not willing to stay in the inn anyway after eating and simply washing.

But it was getting late, and An Riyan didn't build a night road, after all, the next section of the road was a bit remote, and it would only be a waste of time if there was a robbery.

So, he asked the man at the inn for two first-class rooms, and went into the house to rest.

After swaying in the carriage for a long time during the day, Meishuang's back and legs hurt, Shi Jieyu didn't feel particularly tired, she asked Meishuang to turn over and lie down, and then stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed on several acupuncture points of Meishuang.

The strength was moderate, Mei Shuang first felt numb and crispy all over her body, and then a stream of heat rushed on her body, and the soreness on her body was removed a lot in an instant, and her body was much more relaxed.

Meishuang was naturally grateful, praised Shi Jieyu's craftsmanship, and couldn't help but blame herself a little, "I'll let you accompany you this time, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Shi Jieyu smiled slightly, "If you let me go, I have to be nodged by the emperor, I just went to act on orders." ”

Mei Shuang's heart was hot, and she really didn't see the wrong person.

was out of his mind, and heard Shi Jieyu say, "It's just that the emperor and I didn't expect that you would let me accompany you." ”

Meishuang shook her head, "I don't know, sometimes people's choices are not all grounded, maybe it's intuition." ”

Shi Jieyu didn't continue, and Meishuang fell asleep in Shi Jieyu's fingering.

Shi Jieyu saw that Meishuang was breathing evenly, so she blew out the candle, lay down on the other side, and was just about to close her eyes to rest, only to hear faint footsteps outside the door.

She suddenly woke up, sleepless, listened for a while, then slowly got up, and came to the door lightly, only to hear the faint sound of talking outside the door.

One of them seemed to try his best to keep his voice down, but he could still hear the horror in his voice, "It's amazing, I just came back from Qizhou, and I heard that the place near Qishan is haunted by the boundary of Qizhou." ”

The other seemed to gasp, "There is a Wuhou Temple on that mountain, which enshrines the Big Buddha, and the incense burns continuously all year round, how can it be haunted?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't. But now it's getting more and more spreads, and it's getting more and more dangerous, why am I coming back late these days? Just because no one dared to leave the official road close to Qishan, I was reluctant to go far. I told you, no one will dare to ship these things twice as much money in the future. ”

"Go ahead, you're mad at talking about this in the middle of the night." The other was clearly unimpressed, "Don't expect me to give you reinforcement when I say this." ”

The two of them talked and went away, and there was peace in the inn.

Shi Jieyu listened to it, but her heart sank.

She looked back at Meishuang, still asleep.

Listening intently to the movement in the next room, there seemed to be no movement.

Although the identities of the two people are uncertain, at least one message can be gleaned from the words of these two people, that is, someone has already made a move ahead of them.
