Chapter 2039 Intercepted halfway
In the blink of an eye, it had been some time since Mo Wengu went to Shengzhou.
Shu Qing leaned in the pavilion with Liuqu in his arms, and his chest suddenly became panicked.
She put Liuqu on the ground for the time being, reached out and patted her chest, smoothing out the blocked breath.
I don't know why, she always feels flustered these days, a little nervous, and restless.
Liuqu fell listlessly to the ground and whimpered a few times.
Shu Qing glanced down at it, and then hugged it in his arms again: "Liuqu, are you the same as me, and you always feel uncomfortable in your heart?" β
Liuqu seemed to understand her words, and sighed aggrievedly, and then looked at her pitifully with those dark eyes.
Shu Qing sighed: "Could it be ......?"
Halfway through the words in her mouth, Xue Pei suddenly ran over happily.
"Miss! Miss! The prince has a letter from Shengzhou! β
Shu Qing perked up, got up suddenly, and took the letter handed by Xue Pei.
She hurriedly glanced at the handwriting on the envelope, it was really Mo Wengu's handwriting, Shu Qing eagerly opened the envelope and took out the letterhead.
The handwriting on the letterhead is exactly the same as what she just saw, vigorous and powerful, neat and tidy, and the content of the letter is very short, only a few sentences: "The Shengzhou bandits have been cleaned up, the scenery here is good, you might as well visit here, I am waiting for you in the Shengzhou Mansion - Mo Wengu Zi." β
After reading the letter, Shu Qing couldn't help frowning shallowly.
What's going on with this letter?
Before Mo Wengu left the mansion that day, he clearly told her that she would wait for him to return triumphantly in the mansion, but in the letter, he asked her to go to Shengzhou for an appointment...... This shift is somewhat suspicious. However, the handwriting in the letter is indeed Mo Wengu's......
Shu Qing's heart sank, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed through her mindβcould this be some code that Mo Wengu was sending to her? Or maybe Mo Wengu was asking her for help?
Shu Qing folded the letter back completely, stuffed it back into the envelope, and ordered: "Xue Pei, go and prepare your luggage, we will leave for Shengzhou immediately." β
"Huh?" Xue Pei was taken aback.
Shu Qing stared at her uneasily: "What are you still stunned to do, go and prepare." β
She didn't know what she was anxious about, but Mo Wengu's sudden letter made the uneasiness in her heart even stronger.
Xue Pei didn't dare to slack off, so she went to prepare the carriage and horses immediately.
On that day, Shu Qing got into the carriage and went to Shengzhou.
All the way to the south, towards the official road, it was also very smooth, and within five days, it was already close to the realm of Shengzhou.
It's getting dark.
The carriage was still speeding down the long path, and few people could be seen on the road, except for the occasional porter passing by.
Seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from the previous town, and the population was getting more and more barren, the groom couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Miss, it's about to get dark, what are you going to do tonight?" β
Shu Qing lifted the curtain and glanced out the window, a crescent moon had quietly climbed up the treetops, and the sky gradually turned from blue to gray.
She stretched her body slightly, looked at the grass and trees outside that were gradually swallowed by the night, and asked, "How long will it take to get to Shengzhou from here?" β
The groom pondered for a moment: "It will take three or four hours. If the young lady doesn't want to be in a hurry, why don't she rest outside the city tonight and continue her journey tomorrow. More than ten miles ahead, there is a Chenjiazhuang, where we can spend the night. β
Shu Qing pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, it's not safe to walk at night, just follow what you say." β
With that, Shu Qing lowered the curtain.
The groom answered "yes", and immediately urged the horsewhip to speed up.
However, not long after he ran out, the carriage suddenly stopped sharply, and the sudden stop made Shu Qing almost fall out of the car, and the sound of the horse's whistle resounded through the silent forest, which seemed a little weird.
Shu Qing barely sat down under the support of Xuehuan Xuepei, and asked with a breath, "What's wrong?" β
This area is a flat forest, and the grooms have a lot of experience, so it stands to reason that there will be no such bumps.
The groom's heavy breathing came from outside the car, followed by a voice that shook like a sieve: "Miss...... We...... We were intercepted. β
Shu Qing frowned, and then opened the curtain: "Who is it?" β
Under the canopy of the black hole, she could only vaguely see a person and a horse on the opposite side.
There was a man in a chivalrous shirt sitting on a tall horse, but he looked a little familiar.
Shu Qing squinted, and was thinking about how she could fight the man who didn't even know the slightest kung fu, when the person immediately lifted the hat and revealed his face.
The night was cold, but Shu Qing could still see his clear face clearly.
"Mo Xian...... It's you? Shu Qing was a little surprised.
Mo Xian jumped off the horse directly and walked straight towards her.
Confirming that the person who stopped their carriage was Mo Xian, Shu Qing felt more and more confused for a while: "Why are you here?" Why did you stop our carriage, and you ......"
She had a series of questions she wanted to ask him, including the fact that he suddenly came to visit the palace that day, and finally walked away without saying a word, just halfway through the question, Shu Qing found that Mo Xian's face was a little wrong.
Mo Xian looked at him coldly, his eyes like black glass flowing with a faint luster in the night.
Shu Qing only felt that his eyes were colder than this moonlight, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Mo Xian reached out and grabbed her arm.
"You...... Since when did you start following me? Shu Qing asked boldly.
Mo Xian hooked his lips: "The day before yesterday." β
"What are you doing with me?" Shu Qing was relieved now, and his tone was much calmer.
For some reason, she always firmly believed that Mo Xian would not hurt her.
Mo Xian didn't answer and asked, "Did you receive a letter and are you going to go to Mo Wengu?" β
Shu Qingyi was shocked: "Mo Xian, do you know something?" β
Mo Xian slowly closed his eyes: "You don't have to go." This is simply a trap, and if you go so single-handedly, you will undoubtedly go to death. Mo Wen looked at him...... He has now been detained by those bandits in Shengzhou City. β
The moment he heard the news, Shu Qing's brain buzzed loudly, and then went blank.
After a long time, she asked again, "How do you know?" β
Mo Xian lowered his eyes: "It was discovered by my subordinates in Jiangcheng." The city of Shengzhou is now heavily guarded, and the army brought out by Mo Wengu has been completely wiped out, and the capital is thousands of miles away, and the distant water cannot quench the thirst at all. β
Shu Qing's chest blocked a turbid breath, and he suddenly lost his mind: "No, there must be a way." I'm not going to just give up on him. β
She knew that things would never be so simple, it turned out that Mo Wengu was actually trapped in Shengzhou, her mind was so chaotic that she even forgot to think about why the bandits in Shengzhou wanted to lure her into the city.
At this time, she had lost her mind, and she only wanted to rescue Mo Wengu first.
Mo Xian held her shoulder harder and harder: "I can help you, as long as you speak." β
