The carriage went forward on the official road leading to Xianguguan, Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing shared a carriage, Qin Yining brought rock candy, Cao Yuqing brought an old lady who served closely, and the four of them sat on both sides, followed by the six attendants outside the car.

Qin Yining and Bingtang both sit dignified and elegant, with standard etiquette.

The old lady Cao Yuqing took was a little more relaxed, but Cao Yuqing was lazily leaning on a large pillow, holding a small bag of snacks in her hand, with a small cherry mouth pouting, reading the script while eating a plum, and from time to time she would let out a chuckle.

Her voice is delicate, and her smile is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, which is particularly pleasant, and a trace of light from the gap in the curtain shines on the gold-inlaid pearl step inserted in her sideburns, and the elegant halo swayes and shines, and her skin is better than snow, and her complexion is outstanding.

Bingtang hung his head, playing with a small wooden box three inches long with a thumb width, hiding his resentment against the Cao family very well.

Qin Yining was unceremoniously and generously admiring the beauty.

Cao Yuqing spit out a fruit pit, raised her eyes, and faced Qin Yining's face, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Why does the fourth lady look at the concubine like this?" ”

"Aunt Cao's face is charming, everyone has a love for beauty, and I am fortunate to be able to ride in the same carriage, so I naturally want to seize the opportunity to take a few more looks." Qin Yining smiled and said seriously.

If this is said by a man, it is an undisguised teasing. But in the face of Qin Yining's seriousness, there is no disgust in life.

Cao Yuqing said with a smile: "The fourth lady said that she was laughing. The concubine is middle-aged, where is there any beauty in the city? However, what Miss Fourth said makes sense, the beauty is at present, and she must seize the opportunity to take a few more looks. ”

As soon as she threw away the script, she lazily supported half of her body with her elbows, admiring Qin Yining.

Her eyes did not contain any hostility, and fell on Qin Yining's face, as if she was admiring a precious antique old object.

If Qin Yining was an ordinary girl, she would have blushed at this time.

But she is not, she just thinks that Cao Yuqing can follow her if she wants to see it, anyway, she doesn't look at her less, which is fair, not to mention that they are all women, why bother so much.

Gradually, Cao Yuqing's eyes softened when she looked at Qin Yining's pretty face, and it was as warm as a spring spring. His eyes gradually became a little empty, as if he was looking at others through Qin Yining.

Qin Yining was keenly aware of the changes, and when he thought of everyone's evaluation of his appearance, he was a little clear.

Qin Huaiyuan now has a beard, and with the increase in age and the change in temperament, he must no longer be the famous capital when he was young. The current Qin Huaiyuan is an elegant middle-aged beautiful man with a bit of fairy style.

And what Cao Yuqing saw through her face was probably the Qin Huaiyuan who was called "Zhi Pan'an" who didn't grow a beard when he was young.

"How long have my aunt known my father?"

Qin Yining's words brought Cao Yuqing back to his senses.

She blinked and laughed: "The acquaintance is mutual, so the real acquaintance is not long. However, before I left the cabinet, I had seen the marquis and his wife at the palace banquet. ”

Qin Yining nodded knowingly.

In fact, she could see that Cao Yuqing was happy with her father.

Regardless of whether Cao Yuqing is the daughter of Cao Guozhang or not, and no matter why Cao Yuqing led her mother to live in the palace, what role did she play in this. It is undeniable that Cao Yuqing is extremely polite and restrained when facing her father, and even petty pandering.

This kind of pandering is not just for the sake of competing for favor, but because of genuine love.

When Cao Yuqing was not out of the cabinet, his father should have been in his thirties.

Thirty years old is the prime of men. faded from the youthfulness of youth, the most prosperous appearance, and the most mature and stable age.

It's a pity that I'm old.

Qin Yining smiled slightly: "Auntie has been ...... recently"

Before he finished speaking, the carriage shook violently!

The horse neighed, and then there was a scolding from the nurses: "Who are you! ”

Qin Yining's heart sank, and he hurriedly opened the car curtain to look out, while Cao Yuqing lifted the curtain.

Outside the carriage, a group of men dressed as poor civilians, each masked with rags and holding sticks, and a few with knives, there were more than 20 people, and the carriage was surrounded by water.

At this time, they are in a place where there is no shop in front of the village, there are woods on both sides of the road, and the road to Xianguguan is straight and smooth, but there is no one passing before and after!

Qin Yining retracted back into the car in fright, and when she saw that Cao Yuqing was still looking out, she hurriedly pulled her back: "Auntie, don't show your face carefully!" "Is this man going to cause trouble? The appearance she gave birth to made the mountain bandit road fighter look at it, and she had no bad intentions and was going to have bad intentions!

"What to do, what to do!" Bingtang anxiously pulled Qin Yining.

Cao Yuqing was also supported by the old lady surnamed Lu, and both of them trembled.

The mountain bandits outside the carriage had already rushed up and fought with the guards.

When the sticks intersected, Qin Yining could still hear a rude man yelling: "That girl is very handsome!" Taken back to be the lady of the village! ”

Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing glanced at each other, and their faces showed horror.

"It's already this time, we can only fight!" Qin Yining casually pulled out the silver hairpin on his head and held it upside down in his hand, "Look for it quickly, if there is anything that can be used as a weapon, get ready!" ”

"But, but they have knives!" Cao Yuqing also learned from Qin Yining, and pulled out a hairpin to hold it.

As soon as the words fell, several screams came from outside the carriage.

It turned out that the Qin family's nursing home was cut off outside the carriage!

A blood-stained steel knife lifted the curtain of the car, and then a rough man with thick eyebrows probed in, although he was masked with a cloth towel and couldn't see his face clearly, but after he saw Qin Yining and Cao Yuqing, the amazing color in his eyes was undisguised.

"Tsk, the little lady is really handsome!" As he spoke, he stretched out his big hand to Qin Yining's face.

Qin Yining gritted his teeth and glared at the man, and the moment his hand approached, he suddenly pierced it with a hairpin.

The man was caught off guard, and a bloody hole was poked out of his arm, not to mention, a hole was cut, and blood immediately spurted out.

"Ahh The man stepped back.

His companions burst out laughing when they saw that he had hung up the prize.

The man was angry, pointed at Qin Yining with the tip of his knife and scolded: "Stinky girl! You're looking for death! As he spoke, he threw away his knife and pounced.

Qin Yining fought with that man with all her might, although she had great strength, she didn't know kung fu, the four women in the carriage, she was the only one who could do a little thing, Cao Yuqing and Mama Lu were already bluffed, their faces were palpable, they didn't dare to move, and the resistance of rock candy could also be ignored in their eyes.

In the end, all four women were still arrested.

Cao Yuqing was so frightened that she screamed and fainted, and Mama Lu helped people, bluffing into tears.

Bingtang calmed down a little, but his face was pale and trembling.

Qin Yining's hands were cut behind her back by two men, and she had to bend over in pain, but she still stared at the man without showing weakness, and asked, "What are you going to do!" ”
