Chapter 16 The post road is familiar
Of course, Taiping can also be understood as a peaceful and prosperous world, a peaceful world, and so on.
But Huo Roufeng always felt that something was wrong, no matter who founded the Taiping Society, this person's purpose was not simple.
She said to Zhang Shengping: "Pay more attention to this Taiping Society in the future, and tell me anything." ”
Zhang Shengping was a little strange, but remembered that An Hai had told him, the eldest lady said that the lives of them and their families would be the Ninth Master's in the future, since the Ninth Master wanted them to pay attention to the Taiping Society, there was no need to ask.
After drinking the soy milk, Huo Roufeng yawned, she didn't sleep well all night, and she was in a hurry in the morning, when she was full of food and drink, she wanted to sleep.
Although she only lived for fourteen years in her previous life, and she was only eleven years old in this life, she was pampered in both lives, Zhang Shengping and others didn't know that she was a daughter, in their eyes, the ninth master was good everywhere, but he was too squeamish.
"Ninth Master, our Yongfeng inn is still forty or fifty miles away from here, you can bear with it a little longer, and let you sleep well when you get to the place."
Huo Roufeng's eyelids were about to be opened, she began to regret it, she knew that she would take the carriage like this, then she could still sleep in the carriage, but she still had to be reckless, and she rode all the way like the guards, now it's okay, she can't make up for sleep if she wants to.
She rode on the horse, cheering up strongly, Zhang Shengping saw it, worried that she would fall off the horse, so he had to let everyone slow down the horse. And he got off the horse and personally took the reins for Huo Roufeng, even if the Ninth Master fell, he could protect it in time.
When they left the breakfast stall, there were not many people on the official road, but within half an hour, the official road was lively. They walked slowly, and simply pulled aside, and just then three horses galloped from behind them, and galloped away from them.
The sound of brittle horses' hooves sounded, and Huo Roufeng, who was dozing off, was awakened violently, she looked at the three horses that were moving away, and her eyes widened, this is not an ordinary horse, this is a war horse!
This is the second time she has encountered a war horse in her life, the last time was in Hangzhou City was kidnapped, but that time I didn't see it with my own eyes, she only judged by the sound of horses' hooves, and this time it was different, she clearly saw more than three horses, this is not only a war horse, but also a good war horse.
Is this the horse from last time? Or is it from a nearby guard house?
Huo Roufeng looked at the horses that had turned into black spots, and then remembered that she only cared about watching the horses and didn't pay attention to the passengers on the horses.
She hurriedly asked Zhang Shengping, who was leading her horse: "Lao Zhang, did you see the three people just now?" ”
Zhang Shengping said: "They walked too fast, and the little one just saw a woman among them." ”
"Woman on horseback?" Huo Roufeng asked in surprise, and the women's army under her mother's command appeared in front of her eyes.
Zhang Shengping said with a smile: "We don't have a woman riding a horse on the street in Jiangnan, but I heard that the nobles in the capital like to ride on horses and bow the most, but even if the nobles go to Jiangnan, they will not show their heads. ”
A mountain village woman riding a war horse?
Huo Roufeng was noncommittal, but she was completely sleepy, and said to Zhang Shengping with a smile: "It's better outside, although Hangzhou is prosperous, how can you see so many new things?" When I'm older, I'll walk around. ”
Zhang Shengping said secretly, then the eldest lady is willing to let you go out.
Huo Roufeng was sleepy, they walked very slowly, and now that she was asleep, Zhang Shengping didn't want to delay any longer, so the six of them rode their horses and whipped away.
At noon, they stopped in front of a restaurant on the side of the official road, Zhang Shengping pointed to a few big characters in Yongfeng Building, and said to Huo Roufeng: "Ninth Master, this is our Yongfeng, which has been opened here for more than ten years, specializing in the business of traveling to and fro. Although the wine and food cannot be compared with those in Hangzhou City, it is better than the Huo family's own place. ”
Huo Roufeng was already hungry, so he turned over and dismounted by himself without letting the guards serve, and Xiao Er had already come over and led their horses to drink and feed the grass.
Zhang Shengping took the first step in, said a few words to the shopkeeper, and took the letter of the Yongfeng number, only saying that the Hangzhou general number came out on an errand, and did not say the identity of the ninth master.
The shopkeeper came out to greet him in person, although he was enthusiastic but not respectful, which made Huo Roufeng feel very comfortable.
The group was about to enter, and saw a woman coming out of the restaurant, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall, not beautiful but not ugly, but a pair of eyes like two cold stars, just a glance, but it made people feel cold.
Huo Roufeng couldn't help but want to look at the woman a few more times, and after the woman walked past them, she looked back, but her eyes were on the same level as the woman, but it turned out that the woman was also looking at her.
Zhang Shengping hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, Huo Roufeng turned her head and followed everyone into the restaurant.
came to the private room on the second floor and sat down, Zhang Shengping said: "Ninth Master, if the little one is not mistaken, this woman is the one we met on the road." ”
The woman riding a horse on the official road?
Hearing this, Huo Roufeng pushed open the window covered with Korean paper and looked out, only to see the woman talking with two people in the open space outside the restaurant, one was a tall and thin man, and the other was about the same height as this man, tied a dark red cloak, and the cloak was covered with gold thread to pick dark flowers, and the spring noon sun shone on the cloak, emitting a little bit of light. Both of them were with their backs and their faces in sight.
Perhaps sensing that someone was watching him, the man in the cloak turned around, raised his head, and looked at the second-floor window.
Huo Roufeng didn't dodge, and looked at that person calmly.
This person is not very old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, with distinct facial features, a pair of eyes that are not big or small, and the double eyelids are more beautiful than girls, he saw Huo Roufeng, and suddenly smiled, the corners of his lips on both sides were slightly upturned, forming a good-looking arc, as if he had seen a friend who had not seen him for a long time, so that Huo Roufeng thought about her acquaintances from childhood to adulthood, and then she was sure that she didn't know this person.
The man seemed to know her, winked at her, the man led the horse over, the young man flew on the horse, walked a few steps on the horse, turned his head again, waved at Huo Roufeng, who was still standing by the window, shook the reins, and rode away, and the man and the woman also hit the horse and followed.
This time, Huo Roufeng could see clearly, the three horses that the three of them rode were the war horses she saw on the road.
"Lao Zhang, have you ever seen those three people in Hangzhou City?" She asked.
Zhang Shengping also kept looking at the three people, he shook his head and said: "That little brother has a good bearing, if he is from Hangzhou, the little one must know which family he is, but he is very angry, it should not be a Hangzhou person." ”
But they also came from this official road, obviously in the direction of Hangzhou.
