Chapter 105: The Path to the Netherworld
The more you walk, the more desolate it becomes, the colder it gets, the rain is the same, and the blood that is blown on your face by the wind is so cold that the blood under your skin is congealed.
The prison cart set out with them today, but they were in front and the prisoner cart was behind.
This section of the official road is extremely desolate, as if it has never been a car, but the road is extremely rotten. The potholes were uneven, the muddy water floating on the surface in the rain was extremely slippery, and the whole carriage was almost twisted apart.
Yue'er said to the green fox who was wearing a hat and a tarpaulin at this time: "This road is too expensive, and when you get to the town in front, you must repair the car well, otherwise it will be so bad that you can't find a place in front of the village and a store in the back." ”
The sky was overcast, the sky was like a splash of ink, and I don't know whose brush was so wanton, this darkness was so gloomy.
The green fox looked up at the sky, and the light rain was like a mist, falling on his face cold and damp, and his whole face was as cold as a dead man.
After a mass grave, large dirt bags were connected to small earth bags, and the trees in the distance were high and low, and the leaves were all black-green, or more precisely, they all looked ink-colored now, making this road like a road leading to the Netherworld.
There are no tombstones on the mass graves, and if you pass by here at night, you will see ghost fires flickering from afar, and crows will haunt at night. During the day, the crows didn't know where they went, only the crow was on the official road, and it was mixed with the black muddy water when it was run over by the wheel, as if it was also muddy water in the first place.
Today, for some reason, a flock of crows suddenly flew out of nowhere, flew low over the roof of the car, landed on the mass grave for a while, and flew away after a few calls.
Yue'er felt depressed and gloomy, and couldn't help but wrap the clothes on her body tightly, but she still felt cold, this cold was not physical, it was cold in her heart. She took a quilt that was a little damp, wrapped it around her body and asked Qinghu, "Are you cold, come in and add two more clothes." ”
The green fox's gaze retracted from the distant crow, glanced back at the prisoner cart in the distance, and replied: "The tarpaulin is not cold to block the wind, don't take off your shoes, if something happens in a while, you can run to the prisoner cart behind." ”
The green fox jumped out of the car, inspected the wheel car, and took out a hammer to strike. The muffled voice was exceptionally clear, and every blow seemed to knock on people's hearts. Bell, bell, bell, people's hearts also hung to their throats with the bang.
Yue'er didn't ask anything before Qinghu got out of the car, found a pair of cloth shoes with straps sewn and put them on, and wrapped the straps around her ankles to tie them tightly.
On the way, the two of them prepared short dresses, and at this time Yue'er changed into it, fastened her belt, touched the jade pendant, and made sure that she would not lose it, so she moved to the door of the car and squatted there. This is a very convenient posture to jump out of the car and escape, she has been through too much, she is not sure whether she is mentally prepared for it or not, but she is fully prepared in action.
This is all researched by the two of them along the way, and Qinghu has been professionally trained and more experienced in this regard.
Yue'er still forgot something, and turned around and took out a few hidden weapons from under her luggage, as well as a dagger. That's right, it's the moonlight that Su Tan gave her. Holding the moonlight in her hand, one end hidden in her sleeve, the hidden weapon was handed out of the car window to Qinghu, and she squatted down to the door of the car again.
Qinghu saw that the prisoner cart behind him was approaching, so he carried a hammer back to catch the car, but this time it was extremely slow.
Escorting Su Zhi was Jinyiwei, the leader was wearing a black leather cloak, and the pale blue Trolla was a five-grade thousand households. The rest of the people were brown and dressed in robes, and they were the captains of brocade clothes. Each wears a big bowled hat covered with black iron gauze and a summer cloth, and embroidered spring knives on the waist and hips.
And these captains are not honor guards, they are owned by special departments, and their skills are excellent, and their special skills are first-class.
Qinghu didn't let his car fall behind the prisoner car, so if someone behind him made a move, the big brothers of Jinyiwei would not turn back, only if they stopped in front of them and blocked their way, they could make a move.
Further on, the official road is inserted between a grove of trees. The tree looked old, and it was almost impossible to see the sky when it looked up, and it must have been beautiful when the leaves were yellow in autumn, but now the light suddenly dimmed.
Yue'er clenched the moonlight, and the green fox touched the soft sword at her waist. He glanced back at the brocade guards, but they didn't come into the forest, and directly distanced themselves from them.
And Su Zhi, who was in the prisoner car at this time, his hair and clothes were wet, but he didn't feel cold at all. He had already seen the flock of crows flying by, and his heart had been lifting. While paying attention to the condition of the car in front, he also paid attention to the brocade guards.
Ever since Laneige fell ill, she had an extra tarpaulin in her prison car, and now she was shrunk in the tarpaulin, with hay underneath her.
Su Zhi saw Qinghu come down to repair the car, and knew that he was deliberately shortening the distance with them, and wanted to use Jinyiwei.
But at this time, it is really difficult to determine who the danger ahead is for, and what Su Zhi is most worried about at this time is the person who killed Chi Yu and Xiao Wu.
After all, the emperor sent Jinyi guards to escort him, the purpose was not to let him have an accident on the road, so the emperor was speechless.
I thought that my prisoner car was here anyway, and when there was a fight in front, Yue'er and Qinghu ran this way, and Jinyiwei had to take care of it even if he didn't want to. But he never thought that Laneige's prisoner car suddenly had a problem. Due to road conditions, one wheel is off and is about to fall off.
Seeing that the green fox's car could no longer stop, he went into the woods. Su Zhi was anxious but couldn't show it on his face, and he couldn't urge him at this time, it was easy to make the Jinyi guard alert. I'm afraid that they think that the car in front of them is here to rescue him.
After the green fox entered the woods, he didn't see the brocade guard behind him, so he stopped and stopped walking, came down and squatted there and knocked on the wheels, knocked a few times here, and ran to that side to knock a few times.
Yue'er opened the window and asked, "Do I want to come down?" ”
The green fox looked out of the woods again, and said in a low voice: "You dodge some doors and windows to prevent cold arrows." ”
Yue'er quickly glanced outside: "You also come up and hide, and we will leave when the one behind comes up." ”
"No" Qinghu was originally a chatter, but today he cherishes words like gold, which shows that he is also nervous.
Yue'er still didn't listen to Qinghu, so she came down to pretend to repair the car with him and give him a hand. The green fox heard the sound of horses' hooves and said, "They have come in, and they have raised the curtain to reassure them." ”
Yue'er hurriedly did so, and in order to pretend to be unconscious, she took out a rag to wipe the car windows, and then pretended to repair the car windows.
The people of Jinyi Wei did not stop after they came in, although they kept paying attention to Yue'er and Qinghu, they did not mean to stop at all.
Su Zhi was relieved to see the people in front of him, but Laneige's car was still not repaired, because the road surface just now was uneven and not suitable for repairing wheels, so he could only deal with it.
When he came in, the driver asked the chief officer to go to the flat place in front of him to repair the wheels.
In fact, he didn't come out much, only two feet faster than the team.
