Zheng Ying naturally knew what Mu Hongsheng was thinking, his hand moved slightly, wanting to touch Mu Hongsheng's forehead, but he couldn't hold back.

"Don't worry," he finally smiled lightly at Mu Hongsheng, "Your eldest brother will be back soon." Zhending Mansion is not far away, and it will be six or seven days to arrive, and it will take up to half a month to come and go. ”

"Hmm!" Mu Hongshang nodded, and simply replied, "It's nothing, it's just that grandmother and second uncle are in a hurry to let my brother go on a blind date." ”

"It's been four months since General Xiao Mu returned to Beijing," Zheng Ying glanced at Mu Hongsheng, nodded and replied, "Until now, the family affairs have not been decided, and it has been delayed for a long time." But even if your eldest brother is not there, your fourth brother and fifth brother should still be at home, and Jinghui Temple is not close to Jingli Road, so they are not with you? ”

"Actually, we brought a lot of people," Mu Hongshang replied obediently, "The maid, the coachman, and a few guards, didn't I expect an accident!" Even my grandmother said that after coming down from the mountain, I would be fine if I walked all the way along the official road. ”

"You brought guards?" Zheng Ying frowned slightly, "Then what happened, you were the only one chasing after you?" ”

"I don't know." Mu Hongshang shook her head honestly, "Actually, it's not just my family, Sister Xie's family also brings a lot of guards." At that time, my family's carriage was at the beginning, and it had already passed through the small intersection up the mountain, and Sister Xie's carriage was just in the middle of the intersection, and I followed Sister Xie's carriage, and we were followed by two cars sitting on the Xie family and our family's maid and servant. Because the road down the mountain is narrow, it can only accommodate two carriages at most, and it is inconvenient for the guards to squeeze on both sides of the carriage, so my third uncle and sister Xie's mother discussed, and the guards in my family took the lead and walked in the front, and the guards in Sister Xie's house were behind. ”

After listening to Mu Hongsheng's description, Zheng Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, "In this way, even if your Mu family's guards have already passed through the intersection and find that something has happened and then turn back, it will be delayed, then the Xie family's guards who followed the last don't need to be so troublesome." ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongsheng nodded quietly, and her little face suddenly showed a bit of seriousness, "And I think...... Sister Xie's horse was a little surprised. ”

"Strange?" Zheng Ying's brows moved slightly, "How strange?" ”

Mu Hongshang looked up behind Zheng Ying, and not far from them, there were several horses, one of which was her Red Shadow, and next to Red Shadow stood a black divine horse, which looked a few points taller than Red Shadow, with a smooth and beautiful coat, Mu Hongshang recognized it, this is a black horse, so that the golden divine horse, that is, the emperor's own son Zheng Ying can have it, right?

There were three or four horses behind Wu Qi, which should belong to Zheng Ying's entourage and guards, and one of the guards was the one who pulled Xie Shurou up from the bottom of the cliff. They are all scattered not far away at the moment, and they seem to be pacing easily, but how can Mu Hongsheng, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, not see that these people are not weak in kung fu, and they are casual and casual on the surface, but they are actually vigilantly guarding the surroundings.

"Wu Qi is so beautiful," Mu Hongsheng suddenly said, "This is Your Highness, your horse, right?" The horses of the guards are all great horses. ”

Zheng Ying glanced back at her horse, and then nodded, "Yes!" It's not close all the way to Fengzhou, so in order to be faster, you naturally need a good horse. ”

"Yes," Mu Hongsheng nodded, "Although Dawan Liangju is not a top-level war horse, he has a fast foot and good endurance, and he is already a first-class good horse." Sister Xie's family pulls the cart with a big Wanliang horse, it's too wasteful! Our Mu family are all military generals, and we have many good horses at home, but the horses that pull the cart at home are just ordinary Hexi horses. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Ying's brows furrowed slowly, "I didn't know that Xie Xiang's family was so extravagant, and he could use Dawan Liangju to pull a car?" ”

Xie Shurou also raised her head suddenly when she heard Mu Hongsheng's words. She didn't know the breed of horses, when she was on the road before, Mu Hongshang once said that the horse that their Xie family pulled the cart was a good horse, she didn't care at the time, and now listening to the conversation between Mu Hongshang and Zheng Ying, she could naturally think that Dawan Liangju was already a rare good horse, such a horse, even the palace was reluctant to use it to pull the cart.

This horse is greasy! Of course Xie Shurou knew it. It's been more than a year, and Xie Shurou still knows very well what kind of person Xie Xiang is. That old man was old-fashioned and harsh, but very cautious, how could such a person be generous with an expensive horse-drawn carriage? Isn't this kind of publicity a handover to someone else? Xie Shurou was sure that Xie Xiang would not allow the mansion to do this.

Xie Xiang wouldn't be so stupid. Zheng Ying also thinks so. He actually knows Xie Xiang better than Xie Shurou of the Crossing Party, so he is extremely sure that today's "accident" may be the result of a long-term plan by someone with a heart.

"Da Wan Liangju is shocked, the speed is very fast," Mu Hongsheng said again, "But after all, if you pull the car, you won't be unable to catch up." At least my Red Shadow caught up with it with ease. Red Shadow is a shadow chaser, and its speed is indeed faster than that of ordinary horses, but I think that as long as the guards don't go the wrong way, they won't fall too far. ”

"From here down the mountain to the official road, there are three or four forks in the road." Zheng Ying immediately replied, "I'm actually on one of the forks in the road, and the direction I'm going to go is to the valley to the west, and you're here to the north all the way up the mountain." Your horse is indeed clever, and when it was about passing through a fork in the road, it heard the sound of horses' hooves, and turned directly up the fork in the road to stop us, instead of going down the mountain road to find your third uncle. You've already gone a long way out, and if your horse were to come down the mountain and bring people back, it would probably be a long time coming. ”

"I didn't notice." Mu Hongshang shook his head, "The situation is critical, I only know that we once passed through a sharp bend and cliff, and I don't have much heart to see the rest of the road conditions." ”

"Jiling." Zheng Ying turned around and called out to a few guards not far away. Immediately a guard approached and waited respectfully to listen to the order.

"Let's see which way those guards were led," Zheng Ying instructed in a faint tone, "Remember, let's see who is leading the way." ”

"My subordinates understand." The guard named Jiling respectfully hugged his fist, and then did not ride a horse, and left directly along the path by the cliff.

Zheng Ying raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Shurou, and somehow, Xie Shurou was stunned to see a trace of resentment and blame from his pale watery eyes.

"Your Mu family is alone, and you don't have close contacts with the Jingzhong family," Zheng Ying didn't pay attention to Xie Shurou, but began to nag at Mu Hongshang again, "This matter has nothing to do with you." I have only one word for you, in the future, go out less and stay away from them. ”
