Chapter 18: Childe Bear's Heart
The distance between Yan County and Lujiang County is not far, and it can be reached by fast horses in one day and one night.
Because he brought Han Xin and Yu Miaoyi, plus Zhao Yi's horse was broken and his leg was broken, he couldn't use it. In order to vacate the mount for Han Xin, naturally there were two people riding a horse together, and Yu Miaoyi rode a horse with Yu Ziqi, so the speed of the team would inevitably slow down.
Han Xin saw that although Yu Ziqi claimed that he had something important to do, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Yu Miaoyi was weak, so she rode with her brother, of course, this kind of good thing was not Han Xin's turn. Looking at Yu Miaoyi's apologetic gaze, Han Xin couldn't help but be angry, so he had to wave the horsewhip angrily and whip the horse's buttocks. The owner of the horse behind him who was riding with his companions saw it, and his teeth were distressed and hateful.
This group of young people are all children of a family in Chudi, one is arrogant, high-flying, and most of them are friendly with Zhao Yi, so they naturally have hostility towards Han Xin. It's just that because of Yu Ziqi's usual prestige, he didn't dare to come to provoke, but he didn't expect them to give Han Xin a good look on the road.
Of course, Yu Miaoyi didn't dare to get close to Han Xin in front of Yu Ziji, so she could only secretly give Han Xin a few glances when her brother wasn't paying attention.
Han Xin felt extremely bored along the way, so he just hurried silently with his head bored, thinking about how to escape with Yu Miaoyi from time to time without hurting his cheap brother-in-law.
They traveled for several hours, arrived at a small town before dark, and found an inn to rest for the night. In the early morning of the next day, more than 50 horsemen rushed to the town to join them in Yuzi.
Yu Ziqi counted the number of people, left two more horses vacated, and set off along the post road with more than 60 horses.
In the early afternoon, we arrived at a small valley. Yu Ziqi stopped his horse and waved his hand to stop the people behind him.
One of the horses in the team rode forward and whispered a few words in Yuzi's ear. Yu Ziqi nodded, then let everyone dismount and rest, and ordered people to go to the stream to fetch water and drink the horses.
The new group of people didn't seem to be from the same place as the original dozen or so, and they didn't know each other well, so they didn't have any hostility towards Han Xinzhi. Han Xin took the water bag handed by a person, took out the dry food bag on the saddle, and chewed the dry food absentmindedly with the water, his eyes rolling around, thinking about how to escape with Yu Miaoyi.
Seeing Yu Ziqi and several people standing on the hillside in the distance, looking at Taniguchi with a somewhat anxious face, it seemed that they were waiting for some important person.
Han Xin looked at Yu Miaoyi, who was standing not far from Yu Ziqi's side, and found that she was also looking at him.
Seeing Han Xin looking around, Yu Miaoyi guessed his mind. Shaking his head gently, Nunu pointed to his brother beside him, meaning that he had long been wary of the two eloping.
Han Xin couldn't help but be discouraged, so he had to temporarily let go of the idea of escaping.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was a noise of carriages and horses at the mouth of the valley, and Yu Ziqi's face was happy, so he called everyone to get on the horse and go with him to greet him.
The procession of about forty people gathered around a slow-moving carriage. The carriage was currently a middle-aged man, dressed in purple, with a bloated figure, and when he saw Yu Ziqi and others coming over, he rode his horse and stepped forward quickly.
"Hmph, it's taken so long to come to greet you, and you don't take your son seriously." The middle-aged man raised his chin and rebuked arrogantly, a pair of triangular eyes on his fat face looked at everyone half-squinted, his eyes flashed, making people feel disgusted when they saw it.
Yu Ziqi couldn't help but be angry when he saw him despise himself so much, but he still suppressed his anger and replied coldly; "Lu Jia, where's Childe?"
Seeing that Yu Ziqi didn't pay much attention to him, Lu Jia couldn't help but snort coldly, and pointed to the carriage reluctantly, then got off the horse and walked to the carriage, bowed down and said in a flattering voice: "Your Majesty, the Xiang family has sent someone to meet you, do you want to come out to meet you." ”
There was an 'oh' sound in the carriage, and then there was a 'Xi Xi Suo' sound, and the door opened halfway through, and a huge figure came out, and Lu Jia on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Han Xin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this son, thinking that there was still such a person in the world, and couldn't help but sigh at the miracle of the creator.
The first feeling given to Child's heart is fat, if you have to use other adjectives to describe it, it can only be 'very fat', 'very fat', 'quite fat', and it is really difficult to think of other adjectives.
Lu Jia, who was originally bloated, stood beside him and looked very slender and slender. The wide carriage door was a little narrow compared to Gongzixin's figure, and Gongzixin finally pulled out of the door with the help of Lu Jia. That's right, it feels like it's being ripped out.
Sitting on the wheel, the child's heart panted loudly, and his facial features couldn't see his expression at all under the squeeze of the horizontal flesh on his face, and he only saw two eyes like mung beans looking up and down at Yu Ziqi, humming and opening; "Are you the doctor Yu that Lu Lingyin said? Yes, yes, the widow is very happy to see you, so I will make you Sima, and I hope you will assist Lord Ling Yin well and help me repeat the territory of thousands of miles. ”
After saying this, Gongzixin's mung bean eyes looked at Lu Jia dryly, as if he was asking if he had said something wrong, Lu Jia hurriedly coughed a few times, Gongzixin reacted, hurriedly turned around, and put on a majestic look, just with the horizontal meat on his face, it made people feel very funny.
Yu Ziqi saw that his son's heart was so unbearable, and he was suddenly speechless for a while.
Not only did he not remember his father's age, but he also inexplicably gave Lu Jia, who could only boast of pat horses, the title of Ling Yin, and looked at his expression and obeyed him.
Yu Ziqi was greatly disappointed in his heart, and his enthusiasm for recovering the country was poured with a basin of cold water. So he arched and replied coldly: "Son-in-law, Childe said that the doctor Yu is the father, my name is Yu Ziqi, and I am here to welcome him on the order of Xiang Gong and his father." ”
Lu Jia on the side snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Xiang Liang is such a big shelf, he didn't come to greet His Majesty by himself, and only sent you, an unknown junior." In his eyes, there is no great Chu, and there is no great king. ”
"And you." Lu Jia pointed at Yu Zi Period, and his fingers almost poked into Yu Zi Period's face, and his momentum was extremely arrogant.
"The king is the grandson of King Huai of Great Chu, the only bloodline of the royal family of Chu, you still just call Your Majesty the son, I want to ask, what do you Xiang family and Yu family want to do, do you want to establish yourself as the king?"
A young man who had been following Yu Ziqi next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but draw his sword and jump out, and scolded Lu Jia angrily; "What kind of dog are you, dare to talk to big brother like this."
Lu Jia was not afraid, just raised his head and looked at Yu Ziqi, ignoring the sword pointing at him, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed; "It's majestic, it's imposing. Yuzi period, do you want to kill the king and rebel? ”
The son next to him trembled all over his body when he heard that he was going to kill himself, and he collapsed on the wheels of the car in a lump, shouting: "Escort, escort." The dozens of warriors who followed him hurriedly stepped forward, drew their swords and stopped in front of the carriage, and a group of people brought by Yu Ziqi were not to be outdone, and drew their weapons one after another to meet the confrontation.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this time, Yu Ziqi waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to withdraw their weapons and retreat. looked at Gongzixin with a calm face, his face no longer had a trace of anger, and he arched his hand and said loudly; "Gongzi is the blood of King Huai, and he is extremely noble, and no one in Wuzhong doubts this. As for when the prince should be enthroned as the king, it is not what the minister said. After speaking, he glanced at Lu Jia again.
"Of course, it's not what Dr. Lu said. It should be reported to the prince after consultation with the nobles of the various clans of Da Chu.
"Ying Zheng's eastern tour is almost in Wucheng, and Xiang Gong and his father are busy running for the restoration of my Great Chu, so they can't get away, so they sent Xiang Yu, the young master of the Xia and Xiang family, to greet the son. I'll leave first, so I'll arrive first, and Xiang Yu should arrive later. ”
"Please also ask Childe to return to the car, and I will escort Childe to Wucheng safely."
Childe remembered the tense scene just now, and his heart trembled, how dare he talk more, and hurriedly got back into the carriage. Yu Zi expected that after Gongzi's heart got into the carriage, he turned around and looked at Lu Jia coldly, thinking that if he still dared to make things difficult and refused to go on the road, he would use this as a reason to kill him.
Gongzi naturally didn't dare to move, but Lu Jia still dared to kill.
Lu Jia was surprisingly clever, and when he saw the murderous intent in Yu Ziqi's eyes, he didn't say a word, and followed the horse team very cooperatively. It's just a pair of triangular eyes staring at Yu Ziqi's back, and his eyes keep flickering, as if he is thinking about something.
Seeing Han Xin hanging far behind, he followed the team with an absent-minded look. With a move in his heart, he gently pulled the reins of the horse, slowed down and walked side by side with Han Xin, and said, "This little brother is so good-looking, may I ask whose son it is." ”
Han Xin raised his eyes lazily and hummed; "I'm new to soy sauce."
After speaking, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, sped up a few steps and threw Lu Jia behind, and he didn't want to be involved with this kind of person.
The team walked for about two hours, and Yu Ziqi looked at the slowly advancing team and couldn't help frowning.
The carriage in which Gongzixin rode was surprisingly large and the design was quite exquisite, apparently by the hands of famous artists, even if it was galloping on the post road, it could still be stable.
But the only drawback is that the walking is too slow.
Yu Ziqi looked at the slowly setting sun with some anxiety, and calculated in his heart that there was still a distance of more than twenty miles from the next receiving stronghold. If you don't speed up, you'll be in trouble if you don't make it before dark.
So he raised his voice and shouted, "Speed up." The original coachman on the carriage was immediately replaced by someone from the Yuzi period, and he didn't care about the child's heart cursing loudly in the bumpy carriage, just desperately whipping and galloping.
In this way, the speed of the march was greatly increased. Within half an hour, they arrived at a small forest outside the receiving place before dusk.
Because they were resting here last night, they didn't have much defense. And he saw from afar that someone came out to answer him. They cheered in unison, and rode their horses toward the woods.
Han Xin also ran towards the woods with the team, and suddenly his heart moved, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, and after walking a few more steps, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
At dusk, it was supposed to be the time for the birds to return to their nests, but a flock of birds over the trees just kept wandering but refused to fall.
It must be because there are people in the woods, and there are a lot of them.
Han Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and saw Yu Miaoyi in the middle of the team from a distance. Fiercely clamped the horse's belly, and rushed forward with a strong whip, while shouting:
"Be careful, there's an ambush."
