Chapter 23: The Same Starry Sky

There are a lot of things you need to prepare before entering NSW. In addition to the water and food mentioned by Li Jiangwei before, it is also necessary to replenish paper and pens and thick clothes. In addition, Li Jiangwei also bought some rouge gouache, not to make herself look better with makeup, but to make her appearance less eye-catching.

No one knows what the situation is in NSW, so be prepared.

Considering the itinerary, the things that should be bought were finished, and the three of them were ready to hit the road. On the first day of departure from Xin'an, as before, Yue Kang drove the carriage. After leaving Xin'an, there was no post station until entering Xinzhou County, and it was indispensable to spend the night on the official road.

It's not safe outside, and someone needs to keep watch when you rest at night. After the two men discussed, it was decided that Yue Kang would guard the first half of the night and Yu Yongyi would guard the second half of the night.

"Sleep." After discussing the vigil, Yu Yongyi lifted the curtain and got into the car, "I have to hurry tomorrow." ”

"Not sleepy."

In order to avoid fainting during the day, Li Jiangwei slept for a long time.

"If you're not sleepy, you can go outside and count the stars. But remember to put on a coat of clothing. ”

After a few words of advice, Yu Yongyi quickly wrapped herself in the futon and sat there to rest. As the prince, Yu Yongyi adapted very well this way, which was completely unexpected by Li Jiangwei.

Not at all like a proud prince who is favored by the emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Jiangwei suddenly became interested in Yu Yongyi's childhood. She wondered what kind of education could produce such a man.

Learn more about it, and it will be easier to write later.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh. She put on her cloak and gently blew away the candles in the carriage.

In the second half of the night, Li Jiangwei heard some voices that were aware of Suosuo. opened his sleepy eyes and saw Yu Yongyi get up.

"What? Woke you up? ”

Li Jiangwei shook her head and put away the futon.

"I slept a lot during the day, and I couldn't sleep well at night, so I'll keep vigil with you."

Yu Yongyi was stunned for a moment, "It's okay." ”

The night was as cold as water, the sound of insects was endless, and Li Jiangwei looked up at the starry sky in a daze.

"Did people thousands of years ago see the same starry sky as we did?"

"I guess so."

"When people in the future see this starry sky, will they also think of the people of ancient times like we do?"

"Yes."

"The stars shine for a thousand years, and the past is unknown. The world flows, and those who come do not know the present time. A hundred years of life, only the brilliance remains. After a hundred years, how many things will be left on this land to future generations? ”

Yu Yongyi looked at the people around her with some doubts, and saw Li Jiangwei's slightly melancholy face through the starlight in the sky and the lantern under the car cover.

"What do you remember?"

Li Jiangwei suddenly turned her head, smiled at Yu Yongyi, and said, "I'm homesick." ”

On this day and night, in a richly decorated room far away in the capital, the delicate and rich bed curtain blocked most of the light outside. The figure lying on the intricately carved frame bed suddenly sat up, gasping for air in horror.

The dim light could not make out the man's face, and he could barely make out the hands that had been left behind clutching the futon tightly.

"He's going to die! He must die! ”

The roar alarmed the vigil outside, and the servants hurriedly lit the lamp. Walk towards this rich bed......

Night is a time when it is extremely easy for sensibility to override reason. The morning light is faint, and when the sun dispels the night, all the sadness and sorrow are quiet again.

After that night, Yu Yongyi never saw Li Jiangwei with a melancholy expression. It was as if everything he saw that night was his fantasy.

After a few more days, the group finally set foot on the land under the jurisdiction of the county of New South Wales.

"Do you need to wake up Yue Kang?"

"No, you don't." Yu Yongyi took out his horsewhip and said, "I'll still drive this morning, let him sleep a little longer." You hurry in, I'm afraid you'll get motion sickness and fall down. ”

Li Jiangwei listened to his words, glanced at him a little angrily, and got into the carriage without saying a word.

Yue Kang, who had rolled up the quilt, fell asleep with his eyes closed by the carriage, as if he didn't notice Li Jiangwei's movements. The carriage drove leisurely, not fast but steady.

Li Jiangwei still remembers her shock when Yu Yongyi said that she was driving a few days ago. Until the moment the carriage moved, Li Jiangwei still couldn't believe it. A prince who has a coachman out of the house can actually drive a carriage, which in itself exceeded Li Jiangwei's expectations.

After a few days, Li Jiangwei's shock gradually turned into admiration.

I thought it was a "gentleman" prince, but I didn't expect it to be an all-round prince who could do anything. Think about the unstoppable momentum of Wenjin Bookstore, if Yu Yongyi is really a straw bag, I'm afraid Wenjin Bookstore can't do it to this extent.

At this moment, Yue Kang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight, and his strange appearance frightened Li Jiangwei.

"There's a tail."

This sentence came inexplicably, and Li Jiangwei thought that Yue Kang was dreaming of some nightmare. But as soon as she saw his serious expression and tense body, Li Jiangwei couldn't help but get nervous.

Without waiting for Li Jiangwei to ask, Yue Kang lifted the curtain and said what he had just said to Yu Yongyi again. At the same time, he took the whip from Yu Yongyi's hand.

"What is the master going to do with it?"

"What did the other party do?"

"It's just following for now."

"Don't worry about it yet, if they don't leave, they'll be all over at night."

"Yes."

Yu Yongyi returned to the carriage with a solemn face, rummaged through the other party's luggage, and finally took out a long package. The wrapping cloth is removed, revealing the sword inside.

"What Yue Kang said, is it true?" Li Jiangwei still couldn't believe it, "How did he know?" ”

"That's not it. Before leaving, my sister told me to believe him, so I believed him. Whether it's true or not, there's no harm in being on guard. ”

Once again, the night was ushered in, and the three of them were not sleepy, intently observing their surroundings.

"Are you leaving?"

Yue Kang shook his head.

"How many people came?"

"Five."

"Can you serve it in one pot?"

"Yes."

Although Li Jiangwei didn't show it on her face, her hand had involuntarily grasped the hem of her clothes. After Chu Yongyi and Yue Kang finished discussing, they came to Li Jiangwei's side and asked: "Stay in the carriage obediently at night and don't make a sound." No matter what happens, don't get out of the carriage. ”

"Okay." Li Jiangwei nodded solemnly, "You have to be careful." ”

Chu Yongyi grinned and said, "If I'm injured, remember to help me bandage." ”

Li Jiangwei glanced at her, and her good-looking eyebrows furrowed: "Thinking about being injured before you even fight?" ”

Looking at Chu Yongyi's expectant eyes, Li Jiangwei was defeated, and said helplessly: "I know ......"

The night came sooner than expected. The curtains on both sides of the carriage were tightly covered, and Li Jiangwei sat in it with a little uneasiness. In comparison, Chu Yongyi's expression was extremely relaxed.

Not long after, there was a noise outside.

Five big men rushed out from both sides of the official road.
