Chapter 151: Huangxian Post Station
Li Gong glanced sideways into the carriage, but could only see Li Xi's blurred face.
"Mother and aunt are fine, and Mrs. He and the two brothers of the He family are also fine." Li Gong tried not to let his heavy breathing affect his voice, and he smiled as he spoke.
This is not easy, after all, the autumn wind is quite cold, and he feels that his face is about to go numb.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, this is all ordered by my mother, we have to go somewhere else, and we won't go to Jilong Mountain to incense." He spoke again, his eyes continuing to scan between the curtains, but he never saw the man he wanted to see the most.
Li Xi nodded desperately behind the curtain, her eyes were a little red, and she felt a little aggrieved: "I know, my cousin has already told me in detail, I'm not afraid, I'll be obedient, the eldest brother told my mother to go, and said that I was fine." ”
Li Gongying got down, paused for a moment, and finally asked, "You go and ask my cousin if there is anything you want me to tell my aunt?" ”
Li Xi looked back at Chen Ying, Chen Ying didn't need her to speak, and said, "Cousin Lao told my mother for me, and said that I was fine." ”
"I will." Li Gong said, the big stone pressing on his heart seemed to fall to the ground, and he said to Li Xi again: "Go back and sit, I'll go ahead and take a look first." ”
As he spoke, he glanced back at the back of the convoy, but he didn't want to, but after this glance, obvious doubts flashed across his face.
At this moment, Li Xi happened to be far away from the car window, Li Gong's figure was reflected on the window screen, and Chen Ying looked at his expression.
Then, Li Gong lifted the reins of the horse, and the figure quickly fell back, and a broken voice also came with the wind: "How come the Han family convoy is also coming......
The rest of his words were completely drowned out by the wind, Li Xi returned to Chen Ying's side, and Ye Qing reoccupied the position of the car window.
"What's going on with the Han family?" Chen Ying asked, looking at Ye Qing.
"I don't know." Ye Qing's answer was always so short.
Li Xi also heard Li Gong's question, and replied instead of Ye Qing at this time: "Maybe Grandma Qiu Si is going to Zhaoyuan County to check the accounts, and she happens to be on the same road with us." ”
That's impossible.
This judgment flashed almost immediately, but Chen Ying didn't say it.
Ni has the most comprehensive information in her hands, and if something happens, she should react.
The next situation became more and more strange, the carriage continued to move forward, and Chen Ying did not hear or see anyone walking back.
In other words, the Han family's carriage followed behind the convoy and received the tacit approval of the Ni family.
Didn't even ask.
Could it be ...... The Han family is also involved?
Based on Ni's reaction, Chen Ying could only come to the above conclusion.
The rest of the road was calm and even tedious, and the carriage kept moving at a constant pace, and when I got used to it, I didn't feel any good.
Half an hour later, Li Xi no longer relied on Chen Ying to balance his body.
She took out a pair of Go from the dark compartment under the saddle and played with He Suichai, betting on a pile of worthless colored paper flowers.
In the end, he is still a child, and his emotions come and go quickly, and after learning that his relatives are fine, he will also put aside his worries and have fun.
Chen Ying is not opposed to them having fun.
She had only read the mountains and rivers of Dengzhou Prefecture some time ago, and those terrains and rivers had not yet slipped out of her mind. She knew that the journey from Penglai to Zhaoyuan was quite long, and it would take at least five hours to travel at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
And that's in good road conditions.
The conditions of the official roads of the Great Chu Dynasty were obviously not as good as those of modern roads, and coupled with the time it took for the horses to rest on the way, she estimated that when she arrived at her destination, she was afraid that it would be almost dark.
With such a long journey, Chen Ying was very much in favor of the little girls playing some games to pass the time, so as not to make everyone tense and increase their tension.
Of course, she won't play it herself.
She is not in the habit of putting her safety in the hands of others.
Therefore, when Li Xi and the others were guessing the chess pieces, she was sorting out the bow and arrows.
She was now incredibly glad she had a weapon, and incredibly grateful for the stereotypical side of her personality.
In her first life, she was a nerd, especially after high school, in order to be admitted to the ideal university, she had a full schedule every day, and she developed a strong sense of planning and organization.
In the previous life, she was too busy fighting at home, but she threw away this advantage.
In this life, in order to master enough survival skills, she picked this advantage back, so she didn't bother to bring the bow and arrows.
It's not so much that she's diligent and hardworking, but that she can't bear to have her habits broken. The bow and arrow, which she had to practice every day, would be uncomfortable if it was suddenly interrupted.
Now it seems that this habit has helped her a lot, and it would be best if everything goes smoothly on the next journey, and if there is any emergency, she can at least add a little combat power to her side.
At noon, the convoy arrived in Huang County.
This is the only place for Penglai to go to Zhaoyuan. After entering the city, Ni chose the largest post station in the local area, wrapped up the entire backyard, temporarily erected tents and curtains, etc., and the women got off the car to eat, and there was another special person to take care of the horses.
This time, Chen Ying finally met the Li family.
Li looked a little tired, but his demeanor was calm. Ni was already in the same car with her, and it was likely that she had also read the mysterious letter sent by Li Heng, and wanted to know something about the progress of the matter, so she did not have that sense of uneasiness about the future.
After entering the hospital, Chen Ying first asked about Li's physical condition, and after learning that she was fine, he immediately asked about Li Heng's arrangements.
Li Shi smiled a little weakly, raised his hand to touch her hair, and said softly: "My son doesn't have to worry, I have read your uncle's letter, and your uncle is also just in case, but in fact, there may not be anything." He also said hello to Zhaoyuan County, and someone answered us after we passed. ”
"What about uncles?" Chen Ying asked.
A trace of worry swelled up on Li's face, but he hid it with a smile: "Your uncle still has to do some more things, and when it is disposed of, he will join us, and it is just a matter of a few days." She looked at Chen Ying gently, and said comfortingly: "Your uncle said in the letter that he will look at Jun'er well, he has more people there than us." ”
Chen Ying listened quietly, his eyes swept over the coachmen walking outside the post station, and his brows furrowed.
Li Heng is facing the corrupt officials of the entire Dengzhou Mansion, and the road ahead must be difficult, otherwise he would not have sent most of his family members out of Penglai, which also shows from another side that the bone he wants to gnaw on is very hard.
"What's going on with the Han family?" Chen Ying asked again.
When Li Shi heard this, a little confusion flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Is this...... I don't know, your uncle only said in the letter that he wanted us to take them to Zhaoyuan County together, and asked your uncle to treat the Han family well. ”
