Chapter 35 The Rainstorm Blocks the Road
"Childe! Let's go too! Yao Tong looked at the horse lane that was fading away.
"Don't get too close!" Gongzi Qingqian watched from behind the bushes as Yun Yi and the others entered the gate of the academy.
In order to hide his whereabouts, Gongzi Qingqian has also been following Gongzi Jinqian in a carriage.
Yao Tong, wearing a hat, drove the carriage from afar, following the ruts of Gongzi Jin's carriage.
Although Childe Qingqian doesn't know why Childe Jinqian encountered an unknown assassination. But he somehow helped Gongzi Jinqian that night.
He saw a moment's hesitation in the tree when Gongzi Jinqian went out to chase the killer. He knew there must be a reason for his hesitation. Could it be that Rouxin is hurt?
It wasn't until this morning that Childe Qingqian saw Rouxin's pale face and knew that he had done nothing wrong last night.
Gongzi Jinqian does things without leakage, so that Gongzi Qingqian can't grasp any handles. It won't be long before the matter of his absence in the house will be seen through by Gongzi Jin's people.
Childe thought about it lightly, and couldn't help but be irritable in his heart. He tried to close his eyes and be still. But Rouxin's bloodless face reappeared in his mind.
Rouxin and he once looked at the life history and resume of Gongzi Jinqi and the second prince together in his study, and jointly studied the personality traits and preferences of the two.
Since then, Childe Qingqian has begun to have a new understanding of tenderness. Soft-hearted and delicate, steady and full of aura. It was also in that more than a month of contact that Childe Qingqian really fell in love with Rouxin.
Rouxin's shallow love for Childe is ignorant. No girl who is just starting out in love will not be tempted by a very smart and handsome boy. Besides, it is natural for Rouxin to have feelings for him for three years. It's just that the relationship between them ended the moment Rouxin entered Gongzi Jin's mansion.
She became a pawn in his hands. The chess pieces, of course, know their mission.
Under the strict barrier of the scholar clan, Rouxin has long understood her identity. So she can only be one of his pawns.
"Childe! They stopped! Yao Tong's carriage slowed down.
"Keep going with the other wagons! Childe Qingqian heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him.
"Yes!" Yao Tong drove the carriage on. Their carriage turned into another street before stopping.
"They're staying at the Fortune Inn." Yao Tong lifted his hat.
"Let's go to Lujiang County and wait for them!" Childe Qingqian sat in the carriage and did not move.
"Oh!" Yao Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank two more sips of water. Then he tightened the reins and continued to drive on.
Night fell, but the weather was getting hot.
"Go to Qingyang County to stay!" Childe looked at the animal skin map in his hand and said.
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Yao Tong didn't know why Childe suddenly changed his plans.
"It's going to rain!" Childe Qingqian lifted the window and looked at the sky. Yao Tong didn't want to be doused by the rain. So he drove the carriage as fast as he could.
When the first drop of rain fell, Yao Tong finally parked the carriage in front of a small inn in Qingyang County.
Childe got out of the carriage in a shallow manner. The bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell.
The guys at the inn drove the carriage to the backyard. Yao Tong helped Gongzi Qingqian into the small two-story building of the inn.
"There's only one room left." The innkeeper rubbed his hands uneasily. It was the first time in his shop that such a gorgeously dressed guest.
"You sleep on the floor!" Childe looked at Yao Tong beside him.
"Needless to say? As long as you don't sleep! Yao Tong didn't care.
Although incense is lit in the guest room, it still makes people feel an indescribable smell.
"Childe! Why don't we change it? Yao Tong looked at Gongzi who was sitting on the bed frowning and asked.
"It's raining too much, I can't get out!" Childe Qingqian was lying on the bed.
Yao Tong wanted to open the window and take a look. A fierce gust of wind blew the window open. Swift raindrops swept into the house.
Yao Tong finally closed the window. He wiped the raindrops from his face and turned to look at Childe Qingqian.
Childe looked at Yao Tong's embarrassment with a wicked smile. Yao Tong bit his lip and turned around and walked out of the room.
The servant in the shop brought a futon. Childe gestured for him to put it on the ground next to the bed. Because the tables and chairs by the window were already wet.
When the servant went out, he almost bumped into Yao Tong, who had recklessly barged in.
"Childe! The official road to Lujiang County had an accident in a mountain forest! ”
"Is it dead?" Childe Qingqian immediately sat up.
"Yes! It's like five people died! I heard that the official messenger was rushing there. ”
The rain is falling harder! The "crackling" sound on the window was extraordinarily loud.
"Let's take a look!" Childe stood up.
"Childe! This rain ......"
"Go borrow a hat and a coat!" Childe walked to the table and poured a cup of tea and drank it.
Yao Tong asked the store owner to borrow a hat and a robe. Childe Qingqian took off his robe, put on a robe, and put on a hat.
The rain still "howled" and fell. It was so white that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Gongzi Qingqian and Yao Tong walked to the backyard and pulled out the horses.
As soon as the two of them stepped on their horses, the shopkeeper ran out and shouted, "Childe! Can't go! ”
Childe is shallow and moves forward. Yao Tong also urged the horse to follow. When the shopkeeper saw that he couldn't stop it, he shouted again: "Beware of the torrent!" ”
When Gongzi Qingqian and Yao Tong arrived at the accident site on horseback, five bodies were already placed on the side of the road.
The magistrate and the official are checking the danger. Childe got off his horse and said to a woman holding a child in her arms: "You ride my horse into the city and wait!" ”
The woman stood still. His husband and brother, as well as his servants, died. Her body is all wooden!
"Take the kids away! It's dangerous here! Yao Tong pushed the woman to the horse.
Yao Tong helped the woman onto the horse and carried the child to her.
"They didn't die in an accident!" The woman muttered.
Yao Tong ignored the woman's words. He patted the horse gently. The horse seemed to have a spirit, and went the way it came.
Childe Kiyoshi had already examined the bodies of the deceased. Their deaths were tragic, and their bodies were severely damaged to varying degrees!
"Strange! The carriage overturned, but the horse was gone. Everything in the car is gone! The magistrate muttered and walked over.
After hearing his words, Childe Qingqian looked at the overturned carriage and the loaded cart.
Suddenly, a strange sound caught Childe's attention.
"Get out of here! There is danger! Gongzi Qingqian jumped on the horse, and then pulled Yao Tong on the horse and ran.
The magistrate was stunned for a moment, and quickly got on his horse and led the officials to evacuate.
After a while, only a "boom" was heard, and the earthquake trembled twice. Floodwaters poured down with mud and sand. The place where Childe Qingqian and the others stayed was swallowed up in an instant.
As soon as the two of them entered the city, they heard the child's crying. They searched for the child. The woman was lying on her stomach in the water, and the child was crying loudly. The horse is gone.
Childe squatted down to probe the woman's breathing. OK! The man is not dead.
"Get out of the way!" One of the officials shouted.
Childe Qingqian stood up straight and looked at the magistrate who came over. The magistrate glanced at Gongzi Qingqian. Then he probed the woman's breath and said, "Carry it back to the county office!" You two go along! ”
After the magistrate finished speaking, he picked up the child. Gongzi Qingqian and Yao Tong had no choice but to follow Zhixian to Yamen.
