Chapter 198: A Leisurely Journey
The convoy went on the road in a majestic manner, and there were more than 200 people in the envoy group of the East King, and there were no officials from the imperial court except Han Jian, which was a supplement to the previous lineup of the prince's envoys.
The group was dominated by cavalry and chariots, and Zhang Xing led a cavalry team of more than 40 people to open the road in front, and went to rest or bury the stove one or two hours in advance along the way. Sima Yi was responsible for leading a cavalry team to the rear of the palace. In the territory of the Wei Dynasty, it was generally peaceful, and the only thing to guard against along the way was the sudden attack of the chaotic party, after all, one of the leaders of the chaotic party, Ke Qu'er was in the hands of Han Jian, and he was also in the car.
There are a total of three carriages carrying people, the first one is for Han Jian, it is very gorgeous, it is a silk quilt soft pillow, Han Jian usually rides a horse outside, after all, it is summer, and it will look stuffy and panicked in the car, so there is only Wen'er in the first car, Wen'er is slender, and she is not too afraid of heat, she sleeps and eats when she is sleepy along the way, and occasionally walks down and jumps is the most energetic one in the driving team.
Originally, the second carriage was prepared for Wen'er, because Wen'er was on the main car, so the second carriage was left for Yi Die to ride. Yi Die's accompaniment is also Ke Qu'er's hope for escape, but Ke Qu'er also knows that her sister Lin is only here to act as a liaison, and she has no real ability to rescue her.
As a prisoner, Ke Qu'er and Fa Ye, who was in charge of her care, rode in the third carriage. Originally, it was a carriage that looked like a cage, but the East King's Mansion was very gorgeously prepared, even no less than the main car of the East King. Ke Qu'er knew that she was taking advantage of the light of Dongwang's master Fa Yi.
Along the way, Ke Qu'er's treatment was not bad, and she ate whatever Fa Yi ate. Occasionally, Han Jian would bring some juice and fruit to Fa Yi, but Fa Yi didn't care too much about these material things, so that most of the juice and fruit went into Ke Qu'er's stomach. When she went to sleep at night, Fa Ye shared a room with her, and every time Fa Ye just sat on the edge of the bed and fell into her mind, as if she was asleep, but once she had any "rash moves", she would be immediately noticed by Fa Ye.
Because it is summer, the driver will leave early in the morning, and camp near noon. In another hour or two. Wait until the hottest time of midday has passed, and the car will start again. At the end of the day, you basically walk for four or five hours, and every hour you will stop to rest, and this is also the time for everyone to solve their personal problems. When it is convenient for Ke Qu'er. Fa would also take her out into the bushes. He even helped her untie her clothes. is also considerate of taking care of her. Gradually, Ke Quer even enjoyed the relaxed life of stretching out her hands for food and opening her mouth.
A few days later, the car had left the city of Luoyang in the south. The official road from Luoyang to the south is very smooth, and it will not be too bumpy along the way. When it was a little far away from Luoyang City, Han Jian would often drive his horse to the carriage where Fa Yi and Ke Qu'er were riding, and when it was time to rest, Han Jian would even take the initiative to invite Fa Yi to go out for a tour, but every time he would be rejected by Fa Yi.
Ke Qu'er really wanted the plague god who was taking care of her to go out with that bad guy as soon as possible, so that she could have a chance to escape, but Fa was also very loyal and didn't give her any chance to escape, which made Ke Qu'er very depressed. At the same time, Han Jian was also very helpless, originally Han Jian wanted to enhance his relationship with the beautiful master on the road, but Fa Ye ignored him along the way, and Han Jian couldn't please the beautiful master even if he tried his best.
However, in the next few days, the weather changed suddenly, and when we arrived around the Huai River, it rained for several days in a row, and the temperature became very low. In this way, Han Jian was in the main car every day, and only Wen'er accompanied him on the first day, and Han Jian simply invited Fa Yi to come over, so that Ke Qu'er, as a prisoner under Fa Yi's care, was also treated, and he rested in Han Jian's main car.
When it came to Han Jian's main car, Ke Quer knew what the treatment gap was. Because Dongwang's main car is wide and four-horse-drawn car, it basically doesn't feel the bumps on the road inside. Coupled with the silk quilt soft pillow, Ke Qu'er lay on it as if she was lying on a soft pillow on a high bed, and as soon as she lay down, she didn't want to go back to the original carriage that was not too bumpy.
In order to pass the loneliness on the road, Han Jian found a piece of hard paper and wrote cards one by one, trying to use this to play with Wen'er and Fa Yi. After explaining the rules, Wen'er had a lot of fun, but Fa Yi didn't care too much, under Han Jian's strong request, Fa Yi barely played a few games with Han Jian, and Fa Ye seemed very unconcerned, losing every time.
Ke Qu'er had never seen a card before, and she didn't care much about what her "cell bosses" were doing, as long as she could lie down comfortably. But when she watched for a while, she felt that playing cards was very interesting, and when she saw that Fa Yi obviously had good cards in his hand, but he couldn't play them, she felt anxious for Fa Yi, but because of her status as a prisoner, she didn't say anything at first.
It wasn't until Fa Yi said that he would recuperate for a while and was not ready to play again, that Ke Qu'er tried to say, "Let's ...... Okay? ”
Han Jian looked at Ke Qu'er, Ke Qu'er has been taken care of very well in the past few days, her face is full of red light, in addition to her face is always flat, she is also disease-free, and it is considered an alternative for a prisoner to travel with the princess at a level. At this time, since Ke Quer put forward the "idea of non-separation", he actually wanted to play together?
"Will you?" Han Jian asked.
"I ...... I see it. Ke Qu'er said.
Han Jian smiled and said, "It's useless to see clearly, can you move your hands?" ”
A word pointed to Ke Qu'er's sore spot, although Ke Qu'er is very comfortable now, but her body is restricted, except for the neck and above, she can move, let alone raise her hand, even if she tries to move her body, it is also a burst of numbness and pain, so that she doesn't dare to move.
"I'm ......" Ke Qu'er was about to say something, when Fa Yi suddenly stroked the left side of Ke Qu'er's chest, and her arm seemed to suddenly regain its vitality.
Fa Yi said: "Don't try to break open the valve, otherwise your sea of qi will be swallowed by your true qi......"
"Hmm." Ke Qu'er nodded, her internal kung fu had been practiced well, and she knew that Fa was not deceiving her. Although her hands were free, she couldn't adjust any true qi, and because most of the meridians in her body were sealed, although her arms didn't hurt or numb, she was also weak.
"Now we can play cards together?" Ke Qu'er looked at Han Jian and asked.
Han Jian glanced at Ke Qu'er again, and said in his heart that this prisoner really didn't have the consciousness of being a prisoner, and he was in danger, so he actually wanted to play cards together? Or is this little girl trying to figure out how to escape, to play cards to paralyze her guards?
"Then try?" Han Jian said, "But this time we have to change the way we play, that is, add some tricks......
"Add it, add it, as if whoever will lose." Ke Qu'er said with a look of unyielding.
Han Jian smiled and didn't say anything anymore, anyway, it was to pass the boredom on the way, he was confident that he had been playing cards for some years, although he had played less in his life, but he had also played with Ruan Ping and Sima Yi before, and he was experienced and could he still lose to a beginner?
But after playing, Han Jian knew what gambling Li Xinding was, although Ke Qu'er didn't have much experience, he could always draw good cards, and Wen'er, who had a long mouth, was "helping" on the side, Han Jian often became the one who lost. Playing and playing, Han Jian didn't want to play anymore.
When Han Jian also withdrew the game to rest, Wen'er and Ke Qu'er were left playing, looking at the two girls who were like sisters playing there, Han Jian almost thought that the women in this car were all from his family. It's a pity that Ke Qu'er is not only not his family, but also his enemy.
After sixteen or seventeen days of driving south, the rain was over, and Han Jian finally didn't have to be bored in the car and could ride his horse. But at this time, Ke Qu'er refused to return to the original carriage when he died, but he also had to rely on the main car of the East King. Originally, Wen'er was also a little hostile to Ke Qu'er, but after playing cards together for a few days, Wen'er actually stood on Ke Qu'er's side and pleaded with Han Jian for her.
Beautiful women are always popular, and Ke Quer is very good at pleasing Wen'er, so that the two have been inseparable these days. Han Jian was also driven by them in their own cars, and Han Jian's main purpose was to keep Fa Yi's road from being too bumpy. Along the way, Fa Ye sat quietly most of the time, as if he was practicing internal strength, as if he was participating in meditation, and Han Jian rarely responded to her questions.
On the twenty-fifth day from Luoyang, the group arrived in Dingzhou, which was only more than 600 miles away from the border of Southern Qi. At this time, it was only more than 20 miles away from the boundary of Nanwang.
According to the pre-set route, Han Jian should cross the border of Nanwang and go south to the south to send an envoy to Southern Qi, which was also the route of the previous envoy of the crown prince Yang Xi. However, Han Jian did not want to take the route of Dingzhou South, but wanted to turn east directly from Dingzhou and go south from the buffer zone of the boundary between Nanwang and Dongwang.
After all, Han Jian is the king of the east, although the king of the east and the south king's mansion were quite harmonious before, but there have been many skirmishes for a long time, and as the king of the east, he is likely to cause some trouble when he walks through the territory of the king of the south.
On the same day, the driver and his entourage rested in the post house outside the city of Dingzhou, and the magistrate of Dingzhou knew that the king of the east was sending an envoy and sent someone to send local specialties, including food and drink, and a lot of fruits used to relieve the heat. This time, there was no need for Han Jian to remind her, Wen'er had already secretly taken a few fruits back to share with Ke Qu'er. When Ke Qu'er saw the fruit in Wen'er's hand, she thought: "That bad guy is very fond of this little girl, and she dares to do anything without telling herself." ”
But since it was brought by someone else, Ke Qu'er thought that she wouldn't eat it for nothing, so she enjoyed it with Wen'er.
At this time, Han Jian had been talking to the local officials in Dingzhou in the front hall of the post house, and when Han Jian came back, his face was a little not good, and Sima Jian had just finished the affairs behind the palace and came to ask about tomorrow's itinerary.
"Young boy, is there something wrong?" Sima said, "I look at the direction of Dingzhou City, it seems that there are regimental training soldiers and horses moving. ”
"Hmm." Han Jian glanced at Fa Yi and said, "The Southern Dynasty detained the crown prince for some reason, and it seems that it wants to negotiate with our dynasty, and there is likely to be a war." (To be continued......)
