The carriage stopped not long after driving out of the capital, and Zhang Erzhen was uncomfortable with the bumps, only to feel that his stomach was turning upside down, and his ass was torn. The carriage stopped, and finally felt comfortable for a while, and the rough voice of the guard came from outside: "The people in the carriage come out, someone wants to see you." ”

Jin Qiu opened the curtain very neatly, Zhang Erzhen frowned and looked out, and saw Sun Baijian with a worried face.

"If you have something to say, let's hurry up, we still have to hurry, and the emperor's order will not dare to disobey. The guard, who had a rough voice, took two steps back, clenched the long knife at his waist and stared at Sun Baijian intently. Sun Baijian ignored him, his dark eyes were full of worry, a strand of long hair was scattered on his sideburns, and he pulled out a long figure in the afterglow of the sunset, Zhang Erzhen didn't have the heart to look at this beautiful man's sunset picture, she rubbed her waist a little uncomfortably and asked, "You...... It's already outside the city, so you better go back, it's not good for others to see it. ”

"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect you to leave so soon. I regret that I should have taken you away that day. Sun Baijian took two steps forward, looking at Zhang Erzhen with an indifferent face, his heart ached, he rarely saw her, he didn't expect her to be like this...... Don't wait to see him.

Zhang Erzhen smiled silently, "You came here to chase after you and said this?"

Sun Baijian has prepared a lot of roads, and even has plans to fly away with Zhen Zhen, but seeing that Zhang Erzhen obviously will not fly with him, he hardened his heart, took the big burden in the arms of the people on the side, and said, "I have prepared some things for you, you can use them on the road." Don't look at me like that, I never wanted to go against you. Sun Baijian is still a caring and careful man, the big burden he threw into the car smashed softly into Zhang Erzhen's arms, Zhang Erzhen held this soft soft mood was very complicated, she finally said: "Thank you, thank you for sending me, you go back quickly." ”

"Zhenzhen, you wait for me to pick you up, you must be well. After Sun Baijian said this, he left without looking back.

Zhang Erzhen hugged the burden in her arms and shouted loudly: "...... You have to be good too, so we can meet again!"

In Zhang Erzhen's eyes, Sun Baijian has never been so chic, he stretched out his white jade-like slender left hand with his back to Zhang Erzhen, and waved it easily and freely, the warm wind blew the green bamboo embroidered on his white robe, vividly like a beautiful picture.

It wasn't until Sun Baijian disappeared from sight that Zhang Erzhen sighed lightly, goodbye, Brother Baijian.

It's time to start again, and with soft cushions and pillows, Zhang Erzhen can finally squint and comfortably feel the new journey. In the past ten years, she has been to too many places, seen too many people, and many people who passed by in a hurry have now gradually blurred. This is probably life, in a hurry, coming and going, Zhang Erzhen is very optimistic about this "trip", whether she will continue to meet new people.

When he went to Fengyang, Anhui Province, there was no so-called pity for the fragrance and jade, and there was no special care, and the only treatment that Comrade Zhang Erzhen enjoyed was that he had one more shed than the soldiers on horseback outside. The commander of the soldiers this time was a man of about forty years old, who was really a rugged man, and the peculiar thing was that he had a clean face and did not have a big black beard that the commanders had. When it was time to eat, Lord Huang would ask his subordinates to fill a large bowl full of pickles, covered with three huge white-flour steamed buns. Zhang Erzhen is not a person who has not suffered hardships, and this food is not bad, but she can't stand not giving water to drink, Jin Qiu Yinqiu choked on what she ate, and helped pat her back again and again. Zhang Erzhen wanted some water to drink, but Master Huang shouted loudly: "You bear with it, where is there water in this wilderness, go get water at the next stop." ”

But Zhang Erzhen clearly saw that he had just taken a sip of water, wasn't there still in that huge kettle?

Zhang Erzhen stared at Huang Lei's kettle, and no matter how sluggish Huang Lei was, he realized it, and said with a grin: "Do you want to drink this? If you don't dislike us as rough people, I'll give you a drink." ”

Zhang Erzhen knew that this Lord Huang was a good person, but she was still a little unhappy and put down the curtain, what is the blame? Is it her own blind hypocrisy! Looking at Jin Qiu, who kept beating her chest, Zhang Erzhen had no choice but to persuade her to eat less and eat again at the next stop.

The speed of the soldiers is naturally much faster than Zhang Erzhen's own sightseeing, from the capital to Fengyang, Anhui, a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, Lord Huang Lei said to Zhang Erzhen in a thick voice: "We must hurry up and strive to arrive in five days." So you have to endure a little, there is no way to bump on the road, and patience will pass. Lao Huang is a rough man, so he can bear with him if he offends. ”

These few days are very unforgettable memories for Zhang Erzhen, eating in the carriage, using in the carriage, sleeping in the carriage, fortunately in the summer, if it is in winter, it must feel even more unbearable, it is estimated that it is too cold. This is Zhang Erzhen's self-comfort, in fact, the summer carriage is stuffy and hot, the clothes she wears are wet and sticky to her body, she can't take a bath, she rarely washes her face, and her drinking water is restricted, which feels very bad. Zhang Erzhen's own physical fitness is very good, but it hurts everywhere when it is turned upside down, Yinqiu is a little miserable, on the fourth day, he was infected with the summer wind cold, coughing slightly and his throat is a little hoarse, this can be a bad Jinqiu, if Yinqiu infects the side concubine, how can it be good? But there is only one carriage, and Yinqiu can't be left alone.

"My lord, this girl is sick, can you find a Lang Zhong to take some medicine?"

"My lord, Yinqiu is sick, can you see if you can set her a small carriage alone?" this is what Jin Qiu said.

"My lord, I can't stay in the carriage any longer, I can follow the carriage. "This is what Yinqiu said.

Huang Lei thought about it for a while, and then called out to the next pawn pulling a high-headed horse with a smooth and smooth face, "Which one is infected with the wind and cold to ride a horse, just sweat a little." We still have to hurry, if we meet the village, we will be treated, if we don't meet it, we can only carry it. There are often bandits in this place, so let's hurry up, and it will be troublesome to meet them. ”

Zhang Erzhen is a person who has experienced bandits, looking at this woody cliff, she thought of the group of bandits who killed Jin Zhiniang to commit suicide, she urged Lord Huang to set off quickly, Yinqiu still has to stay in the car, it is not safe outside. Jin Qiu pouted a little unhappy, and Yin Qiu let herself move farther away from the side concubine, not daring to cough or breathe loudly.

Zhang Erzhen thought that no matter how bold the bandits were, they would not dare to stop the people of the imperial court, not to mention that their team of people looked very shabby, with no silver and no gold. But at the junction of such a poor and remote place, it is rare to usher in a team of people, Zhang Erzhen still underestimated the greed and hunger of the bandits, when there was a burst of "Ding Dang" fighting sound outside, Jin Qiu and Yinqiu were busy protecting Zhang Erzhen left and right, Zhang Erzhen calmed down, she lifted the curtain and quietly looked out, the bandits in linen clothes who came from all directions held big knives and went forward one after another, Huang Lei left and right and did not forget to shout: "Protect the carriage and horses! Chop your mother!"

"Brothers, this is a lackey of the court, kill! If we can kill one, we will earn one!" The big man wrapped in black cloth on his head slashed at a soldier, and the soldier fell to the ground in response, blood spurted out and splashed on the thief's face, Zhang Erzhen was horrified to see the stout strong man with his chest bared and the thief laughed and licked the corners of his mouth, as if he was tasting an extreme delicacy. Zhang Erzhen's field of vision was full of bandits, surging like a swarm of ants. Huang Lei also sensed that something was wrong, and shouted: "Get ready! Ride a horse and prepare to escape!"

The loess on this dirt road was rolling, like the night sky that had just bloomed with countless ceremonial flowers looked gray, Zhang Erzhen saw the bandits in simple clothes on the other side of the road running over with big knives "Ahhhhh

"If it really comes, of course, you still have to try to live. Zhang Erzhen was very calm, she saw the big thief man holding a big knife and screaming and slashing over, and approached the small carriage directly. Zhang Erzhen put down the curtain, hugged Jin Qiu Yinqiu and said, "Don't be afraid, we will be fine." ”

"But there are only twenty people in Huang Da......"

"It's okay, it's okay......" Zhang Erzhen remembered that Zhu Youzhu said that he would send someone to protect her. I don't know if Prince Zhu still remembers this promise when he is busy......

For the sake of safety, Zhang Erzhen didn't lift the curtain to look out, the sound of fighting outside was accompanied by the sound of falling to the ground, the sound was higher and higher, far and near, there was the sound of knives colliding, like the sound of chopping vegetables and cutting meat, which lasted for half an hour before stopping. The voice gradually became quieter, there was no victory sound of the bandits laughing, Zhang Erzhen dared to lift the curtain again to see, the battle situation had changed, Huang Lei was bandaging the wound with one arm, the soldiers were also cleaning up the battlefield, and the corpses of the bandits were scattered in the distance and near the distance.

Huang Lei saw Zhang Erzhen come out, and laughed loudly: "This gang of thieves, seeing that we are coming for reinforcements, they are running faster than rabbits! If they hadn't run fast, I would have killed him, haha!"

"Someone came to help us just now?" Zhang Erzhen didn't see a living bandit, nor did he see a strange friendly soldier, and said with some confusion.

"It's not like that! There is another group of people coming from behind, covering their mouths and noses, Lao Huang I thought it was a thief again! That group of people is few and few, but their skills are good at one top and one by one, killing people is sharp, coming and walking quickly, Lao Huang, I haven't had time to thank them! Especially the bearded man at the head, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. Huang Lei is a rough man, and he doesn't think about it anymore if he can't think about it, but Zhang Erzhen guessed that the bearded man in his mouth was probably Second Master Qiu. Zhang Erzhen looked into the distance lined with trees, and seemed to see a pair of shrewd eyes staring straight at her.

"The adult is injured, do you want to find a place to recuperate for a while before rushing?"

"Lao Huang is not so squeamish, we should arrive tomorrow, send you to the place, Lao Huang has to rush back to resume his life, and he can't delay it. Huang Lei simply bandaged and went to count the number of people, the original team of twenty people was killed by the bandits, five were injured, Huang Lei checked the injuries of his subordinates one by one while sighing and scolding: "These damn thieves, even the team of the imperial court dares to start, I have to exterminate you next time! Damn it!"

Zhang Erzhen saw that she couldn't leave for a while, so she went to call Jin Qiu Yinqiu to come out to breathe, especially Yinqiu, after the fright just now, she was scared into a cold sweat, and it was easier to aggravate her condition if she was sticky all over her body. Jin Qiu and Yinqiu were the first to see such a tragic murder scene, and they were so frightened that they approached Zhang Erzhen, Zhang Erzhen said with a straight face: "We are not happy or comfortable this time, and we may not have many days of suffering in the future, how can you look like this." ”
