Chapter 269 Walk All the Way

Xiao Jiading was even happier when he heard it: "That's good, then I'm going to let you go this time!" The mother's arrangement is really wonderful. Looks like she knows you well. ”

Huang Shiyun's mind was not on Wu Zetian's understanding and attention to her, she thought in her heart that she could follow Xiao Jiading all the way to Sizhou, and the hard work along the way turned into sweetness, and her heart couldn't help but pound, and said, "Okay, Brother Xiao, when will we leave?" ”

"I'll have to find out when my cousin will leave, because my mother told me to go with me."

"Do you mean that we should contact them?" Huang Shiyun was slightly disappointed, she didn't want a third person in their two-person world to appear, "Niangniang just let us follow, don't have to disturb them." ”

Xiao Jiading read the letter again, thought about it, and said, "Why don't you go to the palace and ask Niangniang?" ”

Huang Shiyun shook her head and said, "Niangniang has already bathed and changed her clothes, and went to pray for blessings with the emperor on Mount Hua." It won't be back until half a month later. ”

Xiao Jiading was disappointed, it was estimated that this was the reason, so Wu Zetian directly wrote a letter to himself to arrange work, but did not summon himself to tell him personally, or this matter was just a trivial matter, and she did not need to arrange it personally. Anyway, no matter what, there is no way to ask what the mother means anymore. Perhaps, the mother herself has no clear purpose to tell him.

Xiao Jiading said: "Since this is the case, then let's go and find out, when they will leave, we should also be prepared." ”

Huang Shiyun immediately said: "I'll go and investigate, you can wait for me at home." ”

Xiao Jiading agreed.

Half an hour later, Huang Shiyun hurried back, panting and said, "Let's go!" They left early this morning! Now I'm afraid I've walked dozens of miles! ”

Xiao Jiading stomped his feet and said, "Then what should I do?" Prepare the horses! Hurry up and prepare for chase! ”

Huang Shiyun hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, I asked." They set off on foot, except for the two sisters, there was only one old mother to accompany them, a group of three. They are on foot, and we will definitely be able to catch up with them on horseback. ”

"Walking? Why should they walk so far? It's three women again, aren't they going to tire people to death? ”

"yes, I feel weird, too, but that's how it goes."

"Then would you like to go back and talk about it? Ready to prepare? ”

Huang Shiyun smiled: "No need, my father has already gone back to Yizhou." I'm alone in the capital. Niangniang sent me to go with you, so I don't have to tell anyone. As for the clothes, will you buy them for me on the street? I didn't bother to go back to the palace to get it. Blame the trouble. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "There is no problem with this. ”

At that moment, Xiao Jiading asked Ya Niang to pack a simple bag for herself. Xiao Jiading brought the mysterious cylinder that Wu Zetian gave him, as well as the pet Feifei Feifei. I went to see my sister Leng Xue again, saying that I had to go on a business trip, and it was estimated that it would take a few months, so that Leng Xue would take care of the safety of my family. Leng Xue said that she would definitely take care of this if she didn't work hard. Let Xiao Jiading rest assured that he will go.

Pack up. Xiao Jiading and Huang Shiyun rode out on horseback, waved goodbye to the farewell Yaniang, and on the way, they found a ready-to-wear shop. bought a few sets of inner and outer dresses for Huang Shiyun, and then patted the horse out of the city and chased along the official road to the southeast.

As the sun set, they finally saw the three of them in the distance. Walking slowly on the official road, Huang Shiyun fixed her eyes on identification, and said happily: "It's them!" My sister's name is Siqi. My sister's name is Siqin. ”

The two patted their horses over, and when they got closer, Xiao Jiading looked at the three of them, and saw that the two girls were graceful, both in long skirts, dragged to their feet, and even their shoes were covered.

Huang Shiyun said happily: "The two girls ......"

Siqi on the left turned his head to stare at them, his face expressionless, and his eyes were still vigilant. At this moment, Huang Shiyun's enthusiasm was extinguished like a flame doused with water. Xiao Jiading hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said with a smile: "Two girls, do you know if there is a place to sleep in front of you?" ”

The old woman on the other side said lightly: "Ten miles ahead, there is a market town where you can spend the night." ”

"Thank you!" Xiao Jiading arched his hand, turned his head to Huang Shiyun and said, "Lady, there is a place in front, let's go!" As he spoke, he winked. Because it was facing away from Siqi and the three of them, Siqi and they naturally didn't see it.

Huang Shiyun Bingxue was smart, but she immediately understood Xiao Jiading's other plans, so she nodded quickly, didn't say much, and followed Xiao Jiading to move forward.

ran for several miles, and when he turned back, he couldn't see the three masters and servants. Xiao Jiading reined in the horse's head and said to Huang Shiyun: "Since they didn't recognize you, then we don't have to identify ourselves with them." Because Niangniang just asked us to follow, and didn't say that we would go with them, it seems that people are not very willing to let us follow, so it is better not to show our identity, otherwise, they know that we are also from the capital, but I am afraid that they will be more vigilant about us. Even more reluctant to let us approach. That would be counterproductive. ”

Huang Shiyun nodded and said, "I can also see that they really don't want people to get approached, you're right, let's treat them as passers-by, so it's easy to approach." It's just that Niangniang didn't make it clear what we want to do, in this case, it may be better not to reveal the identity of the approach. ”

"Hmmm! Let's hide first, let them pass, and secretly see where they live, and then we will follow and live, so that we can spy on them. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."

There was a forest on the side of the road, and the two men led their horses into the woods, hiding behind the bushes and watching. After a long time, I saw Siqi and the three of them supporting each other and walking forward.

As the three of them walked past the front, the old woman glanced at the place where they were hiding, intentionally or unconsciously. This glance carried a kind of fierceness, like lightning, which shone into the depths of Xiao Jiading's soul, making him have a chilling feeling.

This old woman is definitely not simple, and she actually noticed that someone was secretly peeping. Xiao Jiading secretly thought in his heart, and then looked at her wife and son's steps, but she was extremely calm, without decades of hard work, it was impossible to have such attainments. Only then did I understand that it was no wonder that the Chinese scholar waiter came to Ji to relax and let the two cousins follow an old woman to walk thousands of miles back to Sizhou, and there was such a powerful old woman escorting along the way, which was better than a team of dart masters.

When they passed, Huang Shiyun wanted to get up, but when she saw that Xiao Jiading didn't move, she didn't dare to get up. Still crouching behind the bushes. After a long time, his feet were numb, and then he saw Xiao Jiading slowly standing up, so he also stood up, moved his legs and feet, and muttered: "They are all gone, what are we still squatting for?" ”

"That old woman is very powerful, I can feel that she has been aware of our existence, as long as we have movement, she may be perceived, so I have to be careful and wait until they are far away."

Huang Shiyun looked at the end of the road where they disappeared and said, "Won't it?" I think the old woman is old, doesn't she look like she has any work? ”

"No one should be disguised!" Xiao Jiading said lightly.

Huang Shiyun's face flushed, remembering that the first time she met Xiao Jiading, it was because he was wearing a peasant's coarse cloth shirt, but he saw the wrong person, so he made a feud, and it took him a long time and a lot of effort to make up for that mistake. Now, he can finally be with the person he likes, so he can't repeat the mistakes of the past, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the eldest brother has learned a lesson." The little sister knew that she was wrong. ”

Xiao Jiading looked at her sideways, suddenly smiled, and said: "Actually, it is human nature to judge people by their appearance, and those who can really treat everyone equally, except for saints, basically no one can do it." Including myself, I didn't ignore your talent and connotation because of your appearance and demeanor, so isn't this another kind of 'judging people by their appearance'? ”

Huang Shiyun was even more embarrassed, bowed her head and said: "I was like this at the beginning, I didn't know that I was facing a talented person. I'm really a frog at the bottom of the well......"

"Okay, okay, let's keep talking like this, don't you think there's some mutual praise in it?"

Both laughed.

By the time the two rode slowly to the small town, it was almost dark. Fortunately, there was a moon shining on the dark town, and from time to time there were a few barking dogs, but the whole town seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and there was no light.

They walked down the street, observing the situation around them, trying to find the inn where Siqi and the others lived, but they didn't know where the three people lived, and they didn't even know where the inn was.

Huang Shiyun said: "I'd better ask a family." ”

After that, Huang Shiyun knocked on a house, and after asking, he learned that this town is also an inn, and not far from the front, there is a yard with a crooked neck tree.

With this sign, they quickly found the inn, but they didn't expect that there was a fierce dog tied to the door of the inn, barking at them vigorously. Huang Shiyun was most afraid of dogs, so she was so frightened that she hid behind Xiao Jiading.

When they entered the courtyard, they saw the door of the house in the middle of the house open, and a figure standing there, holding the curtain in one hand and the frame of the door in the other, looking at them without saying a word, and without coming forward to greet them, nor to respond to any other thing.

Xiao Jiading said loudly: "Excuse me, is this an inn?" We want accommodation. ”

"Hand over the horse to the groom, and come in!"

The man said a word, turned and went into the house, ignoring whether they followed or not. This made Huang Shiyun feel very unhappy, and whispered to Xiao Jiading: "This is business, there is no smile at all." ”

"Forget it, a small country town, don't expect to be able to compare with the capital."

"I have the impression that the more rural the town, the more welcoming it is. For example, my grandmother's Sizhou in Qianzhong Road is like this, which small villages, not to mention this kind of inn that is open to do business, that is, when you go to stay in ordinary people's homes, they are very enthusiastic......"

"Shhhh Don't talk about it yet, go in and see if the three of them are inside. If not, we'll have to find an inn where they're staying. (To be continued......)
