Section 214 Chapter 214 Attacked
From Beijing, Lu Xiang'er and his party followed the route given by Huo Qingsong and slowly moved to the northwest. When passing through large and small towns along the way, Lu Xianger saw the customs and customs of the north, and learned a lot about the 'sending relatives' team from the mouths of the people. But when he arrived at Huaifeng Mansion, a small thing happened.
Although what Lu Xiang'er heard was only one-sided, it was not difficult to guess the general process of this matter from her understanding of Princess Jingrou. This Princess Jingrou doesn't know if she's crazy, she is already married to the prince of Gaochang, but she is still thinking about Huo Qingsong.
While passing by Huaifeng Mansion to rest, Lord Thorn Shi specially prepared a banquet to entertain Princess Jingrou and Ju Chenhao. But Princess Jingrou took advantage of Ju Chenhao's drunkenness to seduce Huo Qingsong. And when Huo Qingsong left disdainfully, she also instigated Ju Yue'er to express her love to Huo Qingsong, wanting to design Huo Qingsong and Ju Yue'er. As a result, Huo Qingsong was not fooled, but he made Ju Yue'er lose face. Fortunately, she is not a little lady in the Central Plains, and she doesn't have so many scruples, otherwise she would have committed suicide in shame.
"This princess of Gao Changguo is too ashamed, knowing that General Huo already has a fiancΓ©e called a little lady, and she still wants to paste it." Lu Yun watched Lu Xiang'er quietly listen to the news from Lu Wei, and was very angry for her. If she hadn't gotten into the carriage, she would have slammed into the ground.
Lu Wei already knew the news when he went to inquire about it, but when he talked about it at this time, his face turned red with anger, and he said: "Listen to Brother Xiaobao, the women of that state are so shameless. β
"Brother Xiaobao?!" Lu Xiang'er, who was still thinking about what Huo Qingsong's face would be at that time, immediately burst out laughing when she heard Lu Wei's title.
Lu Wei and Lu Yun were angry, but when they heard Lu Xiang'er's laughter, they naturally didn't understand it, and looked at Lu Xiang'er inexplicably. It can be seen that Lu Xiang'er looked at Lu Wei with a smile, and muttered a few words in a low voice, 'Brother Xiaobao', and Lu Wei's little face instantly turned red, just like the color of dyeing. And Lu Yun also understood something, looking at Lu Wei, who hung his head deeply, covering his small mouth and snickering.
Speaking of which, Huo Bao is not too young, and he doesn't seem to have a wife. Lu Xiang'er blinked, lifted the curtain and looked at Huo Bao outside. may have been following Huo Qingsong for a long time, and Huo Bao also has some heroic taste on his body. The most important thing is that he doesn't want Huo Qingsong to have a cold face. In addition to when he encounters serious things, Huo Baoke always greets people with a smile on weekdays, which can make people feel good. After Lu Xiang'er married Huo Qingsong, she was the housewife of the Huo family, and there were some things to ask.
Lu Xiang'er nodded in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be ashamed, there is no gap in this carriage for you to hide." Come and take a look at the scenery, this is out of Huaifeng Mansion, and the surrounding scenery has changed. β
When Green Cloud and Green Wei heard this, they also opened the curtain on the other side and looked out, but the mountain bags with some greenery were high and low, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance. The two girls immediately frowned, but Lu Yun was much more lively than when she was in Jingshi, and pouted and said, "Little lady, there is nothing here, what is there to see." β
"Of course, you have to look at it, and you have to look at it carefully. After this green space, you can't see the green, there is loess and sand everywhere. Lu Xiang'er patted the books Huo Qingsong gave her, and couldn't help but think of what Lu Erniang had said. Out of the boundary of Huaifeng Mansion, there is no road that people can recognize. I don't know if I'll be able to get to the next town before dark.
However, looking at the green grass, Lu Xiang'er remembered that she had been away from Jingshi for half a month. At this time, it is the season of spring flowers, and it is rare to see flowers in Huaifeng Mansion. Even if you can see it, it's just three or two branches of wildflowers, and it's really a little unbearable to pick them off.
After climbing on the window for a long time, Lu Xianger's legs were a little sore. Lu Wei had already taken out the cushion prepared by Wen Yao and stuffed it behind Lu Xiang'er when she sat back in the car. And Lu Yun immediately gently rubbed her calves for Lu Xiang'er. In the past half a month, the two maids have gained a deeper understanding of Lu Xianger and have taken good care of her.
Seeing that Lu Xiang'er still didn't seem to be feeling well, Lu Wei said in a low voice: "Little lady, do you want to stop and rest for a while before setting off?" β
"No, I'm used to it. If you stop and go like before, you don't know when you will be able to get to Dengzhou. Lu Xiang'er waved her hand, but she was a little anxious and didn't know when she would be able to get there. Glancing at the carriage, Lu Xiang'er was really grateful to Huo Qingsong in her heart. If it weren't for it, Lu Xianger really didn't know if she would be able to make it to Dengzhou. Feeling much more comfortable, Lu Xiang'er picked up the book at hand and continued to pass the time. Green Cloud and Green Micro sat in a corner, whispering something, still doing female red in their hands.
Lu Xiang'er, who was looking at the book, didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she was covered with a quilt, but the light in the car had dimmed. With so much time of experience, Lu Xiang'er sat up and said to Lu Yun, who was sorting out the books next to her, "Is it dark?" β
"Ah, the little lady is awake. yes, it's already dark outside, and we're going to be sleeping in the wild again tonight. Lu Yun helped Lu Xiang'er sit up, and Lu Xiang'er found that the carriage had also stopped, but Lu Wei was not in the car. Suddenly, Lu Xiang'er smelled a fragrance and understood that it was Luwei cooking.
was put on a cloak by Green Cloud, and Lu Xiang'er got out of the carriage. But Lu Yun was clinging to Lu Xiang'er, carefully looking around. Seeing this, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Green Cloud, what are you looking at?" β
"Huh? The slave and maid did not see anything. Lu Yun shook his head, but said in a low voice: "Little lady, do you think there will be wolves here?" When the slave and maid listened to Huo Tong talking to people, it seemed that he was mentioning wolves. β
"So you're scared." Lu Xiang'er smiled, but she didn't expect that the sharp teeth of Green Cloud were not very bold. Pointing to the ten men with solemn expressions, Lu Xiang'er whispered to Luyun: "Don't worry, they are very harmful, and they are not afraid of wolves." However, if there are wolves, let me see if there are any of them who care about Green Cloud......"
"Little lady, you, why are you here to tease the slave again, the slave went to help Luwei cook." Lu Yun's face was also very thin, and without waiting for Lu Xiang'er to finish speaking, he lowered his head and ran towards Lu Wei.
Lu Xiang'er stood in front of the carriage, looking at the starry sky, and suddenly felt that the starry sky in the wilderness was the best. If Huo Qingsong was here at this time, it would be more meaningful. Finding that in her heart, Lu Xiang'er's face was also slightly red, and she couldn't help but scold herself in her heart for whether she was Sichun or not.
After steadying her mind, Lu Xiang'er found that five bonfires had been raised around the three carriages, and there were two people sitting next to each fire. Looking at this different scene of camping in the past, Lu Xiang'er suddenly thought that there would be no wolves here. Just thinking about it, a long wolf howl came from nowhere, and Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but shiver.
Huo Bao saw Lu Xiang'er's expression, hurriedly ran over, and said, "Little lady, don't be afraid. Wolves will not come to a place where there is a fire unless there are no contingencies. β
Hearing Huo Bao's explanation, Lu Xiang'er nodded, and Lu Wei and Lu Yun, who were roasting dry food, also reacted, lowered their heads and continued to turn the branches in their hands. Lu Xiang'er tightened the cloak on her body and felt some coldness. And when she saw the ten people sitting separately, she knew in her heart that they might not rest for long tonight.
Walking to the carriage loaded with goods, Lu Xiang'er took out a jar and put it in Huo Bao's hand: "Take it and divide it, when you feel cold at night, you can take a sip to keep warm." β
"Huo Bao took them to thank the little lady." Huo Bao held the jar and smiled, and walked towards the nearest two. The two of them were overjoyed when they saw the jar in Huo Bao's hand, and hurriedly took out the water bladder they were carrying. Several other people were also staring intently at this side, but their hands involuntarily touched the water bladder on their waists.
When Lu Xiang'er saw this, she couldn't help but shake her head and walked towards Luwei and Luyun. When the two maids saw Lu Xiang'er coming, one took the prepared stool to the fire, and the other took the roasted dry food to Lu Xiang'er. After Lu Xiang'er ate, the two maids were also sitting next to Lu Xiang'er and eating dry food in small bites.
After eating, Lu Xiang'er walked around the neighborhood to eliminate food before returning to the carriage. Compared to the outside, it was still warmer in the carriage, and the two maids had already prepared the stove. Holding the stove, Lu Xianger read the book for another two hours, and then she felt a little sleepy and lay down with the two maids. However, except for the wolf howl in the distance, Lu Xiang'er, who thought that tonight was no different from the past, was woken up by Huo Bao in the middle of the night.
Huo Bao first knocked lightly on the carriage, and after Lu Xiang'er spoke, he said in a low voice: "Little lady, no matter what happens after a while, you and the two maids don't get out of the car, and don't make a sound." β
"Huo Bao, what's wrong, it's a wolf ......" Lu Xiang'er hadn't said this far, and there was a soft shout outside, as well as the sound of blades intersecting. Lu Xiang'er immediately understood, it was not a wolf, it was a human. Who will it be, Lu Xiang'er really wanted to open the curtain to check.
But the afterglow in his eyes suddenly found that Lu Yun and Lu Wei seemed to be hugging each other, so he leaned over and said in a low voice: "Don't hurt, it's okay, I'll be there in a while." β
"Little lady, we're not afraid." Lu Wei plucked up some courage and sat on the other side of Lu Xiang'er, sandwiching her between herself and Lu Yun. Although Lu Yun's body trembled a little, he also said in a low voice: "Little lady, don't worry, Lu Yun will not let the thief hurt you." β
Just as he was speaking of this, Huo Bao's eager voice suddenly came from outside: "Fight quickly, it seems that someone is coming here again......"
