Chapter Forty-Six: Returning on a Rainy Night
"Wait a minute, ma'am." He jumped out of the carriage briskly, and his figure sped forward.
After a while, he ran back sweating profusely, he jumped into the carriage and whispered to the closed door, "Madam, I have visited, and there are people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment in front, and they have transferred a group of laborers, and they arrived in the Shendu overnight, thinking that they are preparing for the rebuilding of His Majesty's Ming Hall." ”
"The Criminal Department?" Feng Yan's brows furrowed slightly, "...... Rebuilding the Ming Hall, what is the matter with the Criminal Department? ”
"It should be that there is not enough manpower, so a group of prisoners with less serious crimes have been transferred to serve as prisoners, and there was such a thing last year." He said softly, "I see that they are lined up in a long line along the way, and they are walking towards the Wuwei Pavilion." There is no end in sight to the team, and I don't know how many people ......"
Feng Yan's breathing tightened.
It turned out to be a criminal ......
No wonder the aura exuded by these people is so ruthless.
"If we want to change the road, we can only cut it diagonally from the alley next to it, but I just saw that although the alley on this street is wide, the road is full of potholes and mud, if you really take the carriage, I am afraid that it will be very bumpy, madam, why don't we wait here now, and they will all walk through in a while-"
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Yan shivered.
“…… Wife? ”
"Later," Feng Yan said with difficulty, "someone is here too." ”
When I looked behind me, I saw that there were many more fires on the streets behind, and the officers and soldiers lit up the blocks, as if someone was opening the way.
A dozen or so officers in blue uniforms galloped past their carriages, holding lit torches aloft in their arms.
It looked like they were there to illuminate the crowd on the front street, which soon lit up.
"This ......," he said, looking back and forth, "can the lady hold on?" I went to say hello to the officials in front of me and told them to make way for us to pass. ”
Feng Yan sighed, "It's hard work." ”
He immediately got up, but before he could run ten steps, there was a continuous sound of disassembly behind him. He braked hard and turned back—only to see that he had jumped out of the carriage, unloading the wooden pivot between the carriage and the horse with his bare hands.
"Don't worry—what are you doing!"
He looked up at him and said in a low voice, "My lord has instructed ...... 'Don't let my wife stay alone for a long time in a crowded place.'" ”
Go and be stunned there," ...... So what are you doing? ”
"Madam, hold on." Bu said in a low voice.
In the carriage, Feng Yan nodded.
Grabbing the body with one hand and the wheel bearings of the carriage with the other, his fingers pushed the corresponding mortise and tenon joints precisely, and in a few moments, the entire carriage was separated from the axle at the bottom.
"Hey-" went back from walking, "Don't come nonsense-"
Without waiting to stop him, he took a deep breath - his already thick arms swelled up in an extremely exaggerated posture, and then quietly carried half of the carriage firmly on his shoulders.
"Let's go." He raised his head and motioned to lead the way.
I stayed for a while, and then I understood--this is tantamount to directly dismantling the carriage into a single sedan chair!
"Yours ...... This way! ”
Feng Yan in the carriage didn't know what was going on, but suddenly she felt that the whole carriage was lifted, and the speed was suddenly a lot faster, she clung to the window edge, and barely fell down.
The food box with the red mash at his feet slid sideways and crashed into the wall of the car, making a slight sound, and Feng Yan freed up one hand and held the mash in his arms.
After this momentary change, the carriage seemed to return to its previous motion, and it was more stable than before.
Outside the window, there are less Dada's horses' hooves, and more of the wind at night.
When the uncomfortable anger gradually faded away, Feng Yan was finally able to breathe, she pushed open the nearby car window a little strangely, and then the whole person held her breath.
Outside the window, there are layers of gray tiles of houses in Luoyang City, and her vision is even higher than the eaves.
Feng Yan raised her head and saw a hazy mist enveloping the four fields in the distance.
Between the waning moon and the gray tiles in the sky, the scattered lights on the ground are like the reflection of the stars in the sky.
The carriage seemed to be flying through the air.
“…… Don't worry? Feng Yan hesitated.
"If Mrs. has any instructions, can you talk about them later?" A reluctant voice came from under the carriage, "I'll be home in a while." ”
Following the window, Feng Yan saw the passage not far ahead, and he was running in the alley at night to lead the way.
Feng Yan finally understood what was happening.
Amazing...... It's amazing.
This solid wood carriage, even if the bearings and wheels are removed, weighs more than 100 pounds...... I didn't dare to carry her and the carriage all the way so easily.
What a strange brute force......
Feng Yan slowly moved to the other side, raised her hand and pushed open the window on that side.
Far away, I saw that the black clouds were slowly pressing towards Luoyang.
The waning moon and the lone star, everything is like a scene in a dream.
……
Around the time of the ugly hour, it rained heavily.
He looked anxious, and kept pacing back and forth at the gate of the Wei Mansion, waiting for Wei Xingzhen to come back.
But everything in the rain curtain was foggy, and where the light was not visible, I couldn't see my fingers at all.
The summer rains are getting heavier and heavier, and there is no intention of stopping.
At three o'clock, Wei Xingzhen finally returned with an umbrella on a rainy night, and when she saw this vague figure at a glance, she immediately opened the umbrella and jumped into the rain.
"Master! You're back! ”
Although Wei Xingzhen also had a big umbrella in his hand, he was still soaked.
"It's really useless to hold this umbrella on your head," Wei Xingzhen's tone was a little bored, "I don't know what these people are doing with umbrellas in the rain...... Isn't it pretty? ”
After entering the door, Wei Xingzhen took the umbrella and threw it to Qu Shi, "Go and close the door." ”
He grabbed his umbrella and quickly closed the door.
Wei Xingzhen walked to the corner of the eaves, like a fox, and shook her head and shoulders vigorously.
The rain whirred and whirred, wetting the ground beneath his feet.
He stretched his shoulders, and then he breathed a sigh of relief—the clothes that were still wet and clinging to his body had now become dry and fluffy again.
Wei Xingzhen glanced at it, "Why don't you go to rest, what are you doing here?" ”
He even showed a flattering smile, "This...... You didn't even get a good rest back to us. I was still thinking about it just now, if the ugly time is over and you don't come back, then I'll go to the palace gate and wait for you. ”
"No," Wei Xingzhen walked briskly along the corridor of the courtyard, "I didn't tell you, don't take the initiative to go outside to find me." ”
"Eh, understood." He nodded immediately.
"Ah Yan has already rested now?"
"Uh...... Hmmm......"
Wei Xingzhen's footsteps suddenly stopped, he looked at Zhiwu's head, frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
It's embarrassing to go.
"Madame...... Whether it was a break or not at this time, we don't know, and we don't dare to ask. Only...... Just wait for you to come back and take a look. ”
