Xue Ling hadn't spoken yet, Zeng Yi had already raised his hand and stopped the carriage.

He rolled over and dismounted, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Ling lowered her eyes and said, "Sizhu thinks that she is in the car, and she is a little uncomfortable. ”

Zeng Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll find a place, stop and rest for half an hour, if the silk bamboo girl is better, I will rush again, if it is not good, I will dial a carriage and let her follow behind, how about it?" ”

Xue Ling couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded and said, "It's hard work." ”

Zeng Yi got on the horse.

This time, the carriage and horses drove for a short time before coming to a stop.

It's a very empty place.

Xue Ling helped Sizhu to lie down, "You rest, I'll go see if I can boil some hot water." ”

When she got out of the car, Zeng Yi had already set up a fire, Xue Ling's footsteps stopped for a moment, and still walked over.

Zeng Yi sat with his back to her, and when he heard the light footsteps behind him stop, his whole body seemed to tremble.

The footsteps sounded again, but Zeng Yi didn't dare to move.

Until Xue Ling sat next to him, took a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire.

Zeng Yi's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

"Thank you." Xue Ling spoke first.

The firelight burned on their faces, and neither looked at the other.

Zeng Yi said, "It's because I'm not thoughtful, I shouldn't have asked you to go this way." ”

Xue Ling half-raised her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her emotions, "I have to go this time, you will open this mouth with me, you have done a lot, I know it." ”

Zeng Yi was holding a piece of firewood in his hand, and when he heard Xue Ling's words, his hand couldn't help but tighten.

He had already guessed what Xue Ling was going to say next, but he still had to sit upright and listen to her.

"It's our daughter's weak family that slows down the trip."

Zeng Yi didn't know what came to mind, and his throat was a little astringent, "It's okay." ”

Xue Ling was silent for a while before he said, "Mr. has lofty ambitions, and he is taking a career as an official, and he is different from the Jiangling Wu Clan. ”

Zeng Yi had already expected that this would be such a result, he picked up the kettle, in order to refresh himself at night, a lot of tea leaves were placed in the kettle, at this time, the tea soup was cool and bitter, lingering between the lips and teeth, and it lasted for a long time, "I also wanted to tell you that the emperor's eldest grandson and the Xue family have some past entanglements, you go to the north, be more guarded." ”

Xue Ling hummed softly.

I felt sorry in my heart.

After the water was boiled, Zeng Yi poured some hot water for her.

Xue Ling thanked him and returned to the carriage.

Chang Shan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and when he saw Xue Ling leaving, he moved over with small steps, "Childe, have you made it clear to Miss Xue?" ”

Zeng Yi sighed, "It's not something that can't be said clearly, it's her,"

Ignore.

I don't care,

I don't take it to heart at all.

Chang Shan became more and more uneasy, "I'm sorry, or you scold me or beat me." ”

Zeng Yi glanced at him, "What do you blame for?" ”

Chang Shan looked apologetic, "Childe, you can get a needle to sew up my mouth, so that I will feel better." ”

Zeng Yi smiled gently, "Don't care, it has nothing to do with you, there are some problems that I owe." However, if Miss Sizhu still can't get better, I'll give you a carriage, and you take care of her, do you have any opinions. ”

"No, no, the son puts 10,000 hearts, the two girls of Sizhu and Siyu, in my place, are at the same level as my aunt." ”

Zeng Yi glanced at him helplessly, "Your mouth, if it weren't for the fact that I have suffered a lot since I was a child, I really want to drive you away." ”

Chang Shan hurriedly covered his mouth, not daring to speak more.

Xue Ling fed Sizhu some hot water, and carefully calculated it, just halfway through, Siyu was a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the car, and she was also strong in the past few days.

"Sizhu, you rest for a while, let's go first, Mr. Zeng will find someone to take care of you, you slow down your trip, I think you will feel better."

Sizhu didn't dare to say more, "Girl, am I holding you back?" ”

Xue Ling smiled, "How come, it's me who is tired, and you are running around." It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you. ”

It was a big deal, Sizhu didn't dare to say more, and nodded meekly.

After the break, set off again.

Zeng Yi arranged for Chang Shan to accompany Sizhu on the back trip.

Another day's journey.

The weather is getting drier.

Staying in the carriage for days, Xue Ling only felt that his body was about to fall apart.

She really admired Zeng Yi.

For days, Zeng Yi never closed his eyes at night.

Siyu couldn't help but admire, "Mr. Zeng has a tough heart, which is different from ordinary people. ”

"Well, it's better to make people sigh at themselves."

I think I have endured a lot of hardships to have today's heart.

Xue Ling looked at the crops on both sides of the road, and the fields were already dry and cracked.

Everything you hear with your ears is very different from what you see with your own eyes.

Her mood finally fluctuated, if she came to the Northland, it was just because she wanted to change the fate of the Wu clan in the land of Gangneung.

Then, at this moment, she finally has a more intuitive feeling about natural and man-made disasters.

As far as you can, you can apply what you have learned, which is what you should do.

The carriage finally landed in front of a wide house, which was a government office.

The two soldiers in front of the door thought that they knew Zeng Yi, and their faces were happy, "Mr. Zeng is here, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is in a hurry now, and now he is in the ya, meeting with the heads of the Wu clan in the north, discussing the drought, Mr. Go quickly." ”

Zeng Yi glanced at Xue Ling and Jiang Xiuwen, "Xiuwen, Miss Xue San should go in with me,"

He said to the two soldiers, "Find someone and settle them down." ”

Xue Ling was in the dust all the way, and when he stepped into the palace at this time, he saw a lot of people standing in the palace at a glance, and looking at the appearance, the first few were some old men.

It is estimated that they are all Wu clans with names and surnames in the Northland.

Nangong Sheng sat at the top of the place, and when he saw Zeng Yi, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Shi Yue is finally back." ”

But his gaze fell on Jiang Xiuwen and Xue Ling behind Zeng Yi, and he paused for a moment.

Nangong Sheng didn't say anything.

But there are people down there who can't help it.

The first to speak was the prefect of Fengcheng.

He asked suspiciously, "Mr. Zeng's witch doctor who went to the land of Gangneung for help,"

He looked at Jiang Xiuwen, "It won't be this little boy!" ”

Zeng Yi turned around, "This Xue girl is the head of the Xue family in Jiangling, and this son of the Jiang family is the eldest son of the Jiang family in Jiangling." ”

The prefect of Fengcheng didn't say much, but fell down in an instant.

He still had high hopes for the witch doctor in the south, and at this moment, looking at Xue Ling and the others, the loss on his face was difficult to hide.

"You two have worked hard." As the prefect, he said politely.
