Gao Fuli drove the carriage and walked on the dark night road, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill. There was only a rickety lantern in front of him, shining a dim yellow light, illuminating the bumpy loess road.

"Sister Zhulu, do you think we should listen to Lord Jiao?" Less than a quarter of an hour later, he was already beginning to regret it.

Zhu Lu was also entangled, and after thinking about it, he said: "Of course you have to listen, Master Jiao is a good person!" The adults have always taken good care of the master, and they have come up with a good way to treat the epidemic, saving the master, saving the prince, and the lives of the master and the second young master, how can we not listen to it? ”

Gao Fuli turned his head and glanced at her, and pretended to say in a deep voice: "Sister Zhulu, the handsome people in this world may not be all good people. As the saying goes, the gold and jade are ruined on the outside. ”

Zhulu also looked back at him: "Where did you come from so much to say, it's important to hurry!" You drive well, don't turn the master upside down, or I'll pinch you. ”

Gao Fuli hurriedly raised the whip in his hand and urged the horses, but he still had no bottom in his heart. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or not? When the master wakes up, what should he do if he is to blame?

While he was thinking about it, there was a muffled sound in the distance, which frightened the horse almost frightened.

Gao Fu tightened the reins, looked back, and opened his mouth wide in fright.

Under the night sky, which was as thick as black ink, a few fires flew from nowhere, and they ran straight in the direction of the camp, and exploded with a muffled sound. In a matter of moments, the camp in the distance was already blazing with flames and smoke.

Zhulu grabbed Gao Fuli's arm and couldn't help but tremble: "What's that...... What is it? ”

Gao Fu was also scared enough, "Is it a fire meteor?" That's not right...... This is someone deliberately setting fire! ”

The fire meteor is a rare thing that can only be seen once in a few decades, and it is long and far away, not like the fire in front of you, like a sudden rainstorm, flying densely into the sky, and then it will fall instantly, making a muffled sound......

Zhu Qing poked her head out of the car and asked with a crying voice, "Sister Zhulu, what's going on?" What about the old man and the second young master? ”

Zhu Lu pinched a cold sweat in her heart, it seems that Master Jiao is right, there is really danger.

"Xiao Lizi, let's leave quickly, we must protect the master, and we must not let her have an accident."

Now I can't manage so much, it's important to keep the master, what's more, as Master Jiao said, he will take the old master and the second young master to catch up from behind.

The situation could not be delayed, Gao Fuli had no choice but to speed up the horsewhip and hurriedly drive south, not daring to delay for a moment.

It was pitch black in front of him, and there was a fire behind him, and everyone was panicked in their hearts, only Meng Xilan in the car was sleeping soundly, her eyebrows were stretched, and the corners of her lips were pursed, as if she was dreaming of something.

From dark to dawn, after this night's tossing, Gao Fuli didn't see half a family along the way, except for the lush woods, it was the idle wilderness, and not a single shadow could be seen.

Gao Fuli stopped the carriage, looked around on the ground, and said impatiently: "Is Master Jiao mistaken?" Where are the mountains here? Otherwise, let's go back the way we came......"

Zhu Lu Buyi: "I can't go back, if the camp is really burned, they won't leave easily." Let's go back, if we are caught by those arsonists, won't it affect the master? Continue to the south, and find the Zhangjia Village anyway. ”

The young lady was still very weak, and she had to find a place to rest, and she had to make a fire and cook medicine, so she had to find a place where there was a home.

According to this, Gao Fuli continued to drive the carriage forward, and when it was close to noon, they finally saw the mountain in front of them, and then followed the path at the foot of the mountain to find Zhangjia Village.

Gao Fuli was the first to jump out of the carriage, dressed like a housekeeper, looking like a house slave rather than a eunuch.

There are only a dozen families living in the village, all of them are surnamed Zhang, they usually don't deal with outsiders, they are all defensive at first, and when they hear that they are people Jiao Changqing knows, they seem to be different people, enthusiastic and thoughtful.

It turned out that Jiao Changqing had helped a villager here before, giving him herbal medicine to go home to treat his wife's illness.

The people in the village gave Meng Xilan one of the best thatched huts to rest, and as for food, they were also very enthusiastic.

Everyone found the right place, and they were secretly relieved.

Zhuqing boiled water and boiled medicine, Zhulu wiped Meng Xilan's face, and Gao Fuli was guarding the door, secretly watching out for those villagers he didn't know.

Who knows, the master slept until dusk.

After Meng Xilan woke up, the first thing she saw was the shabby curtain above her head, and the tip of her nose smelled the bitter medicinal fragrance and the slightly musty smell of straw.

"Zhulu ......" she opened her mouth to call, and Zhulu hurriedly stepped forward, her eyes were bloodshot, "Miss, you are awake, it's time to take medicine." ”

Meng Xilan saw that this place was wrong, frowned and said, "Where is this?" What about Lord Jiao? ”

Zhulu bit her lip and hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face: "Miss, don't worry, drink the medicine first, and let the slave tell you slowly." ”

Meng Xilan thought about what had happened before, as well as Jiao Changqing's abnormality, and pushed her hand away: "Tell me the truth, what is going on with Master Jiao?" ”

"Master......"

"Say!" Meng Xilan propped herself up and looked at Zhulu, worried that she would lie to deceive herself.

The slave said...... Actually, Lord Jiao cooked you a soothing soup to get you out of the camp. This is Zhangjia Village, a small place that adults have heard about in advance, which is very safe and clean. "Zhulu deliberately avoided the important and light, and first picked what could be said.

But if she doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Miss won't ask.

Meng Xilan reacted slightly, and her heart was unstable, "He sent me out?" What about dad and second brother? ”

"That...... The old master and the second young master are personally taken care of by Lord Jiao, and they will also be here later. Zhu Lu swallowed and replied.

Meng Xilan was able to breathe a little better when she heard this, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong. "Since you have to leave, why don't you go with me? And it's good, there is no wind and no waves, why go? ”

Zhulu was thinking about what to say, but Gao Fuli knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, the minions are all for the sake of the master, and Lord Jiao is also for the sake of the master." Last night...... I don't know what happened last night, but suddenly a fire fell from the sky and burned the whole camp. If it hadn't been for Lord Jiao's early order, the master's life would have been lost. So...... Therefore, please listen to the advice of the slave, no matter what happens, the master must take care of his body and wait patiently for the news of the master and the second son. ”

Meng Xilan heard the meaning of these words clearly, her body shook slightly, and an ominous thought surged in her heart.

Could it be ...... Impossible, impossible!

Meng Xilan shook her head and immediately dispelled the thoughts in her heart.

If this was Jiao Changqing's arrangement, then his father and second brother would not be in danger of their lives. Because Jiao Changqing knew that if he only saved her life, but not her family's life. Instead of being grateful to him, she would hate him for the rest of her life!

Meng Xilan tried her best to restrain her emotions, looked at the steaming bowl of decoction, and drank it directly.

"After I fell asleep, what Lord Jiao told you and how he explained, you will tell me immediately."

Zhulu hurriedly told Miss before and after the incident, word for word.

Meng Xilan was shocked when she heard this, she was shocked that why Jiao Changqing would not know the prophet and take precautions in advance? She was shocked, why did the prince in the palace have such a heavy hand?

This is not just vicious, but vicious, vicious, and most vicious!

He just wanted Zhou Youlin to die alone, why did he have to bring so many people to accompany him to the funeral? Will the lives of hundreds of soldiers in the camp be burned with that fire? It's hateful! Everyone finally escaped from the ghost gate of the epidemic, but they were injured by the fire again...... Meng Xilan didn't even dare to think about how many people would die because of this.

Xu was too sad, Meng Xilan's body was weak and weak for a while, but she refused to lie down.

Since Jiao Changqing said that he would take care of the safety of her father and brother, he would definitely do what he said. So, she had to wait, and she waited with spirit.

waited and waited, and when night fell again, Meng Xilan's heart became more and more anxious. Obviously, it was only half an hour away. Why haven't they arrived yet?

Meng Xilan didn't sleep, and Zhulu didn't dare to sleep, Gao Fuli carried a lantern and swayed at the entrance of the village, looking at the dark night road.

I don't know how long it took for him to finally see a little light in front of his eyes, and it was still row after row.

Gao Fu looked at it and felt that it must be the light of the torch.

It's a remote place, and even if someone shows up, it won't be in groups. So, it must be Master Jiao.

Gao Fuli ran back to report that Meng Xilan stood at the entrance of the village wearing a cloak to greet him.

It was indeed a convoy of chariots and horses, with a long queue in front and behind, clinging to torches, like a long fiery dragon, entrenched on the winding path.

Meng Xilan held Zhu Lu's hand, wishing that she could open her eyes a little wider and see more clearly.

The figures in the dark night almost all looked similar, and there was no difference between them.

But Meng Xilan still spotted Jiao Changqing at a glance, and the light of the torch was enough for her to see Jiao Changqing's face clearly. Unlike usual, his face was a little dark, as if covered with a thin layer of ash.

Meng Xilan rushed forward alone, leaving Zhulu and Zhuqing behind, her steps were eager, not like a patient at all.

Jiao Changqing also saw her from a distance, raised his eyebrows, hurriedly walked a few steps, and came to her first.

He was about to salute, but Meng Xilan grabbed his sleeve and gasped: "My father and second brother ......"

Jiao Changqing hurriedly supported her shaky body, and said in a deep voice: "The princess is at ease, Lord Meng and the second son are safe and sound, and they are resting in the car......
