Until half a month later, every day in a carriage to hurry, because of the fear of delaying the time did not have a good rest, at most is very late to find an inn to settle down, the next morning departure, several female children began to feel tired.

Cheng Xi's novelty at the beginning was gone, and he was basically sleepy with the hundred-year-old on the carriage couch.

It was the first time for a hundred years old to go out so far, and he was just as excited at first, but after a long time in a carriage and swaying forward in a carriage every day, the excitement and curiosity at the beginning gradually wore away, and only fatigue remained.

However, their pace did not slow down because they were tired, but sometimes they quickened their pace.

The more south you go, the warmer the weather is, but in the end, it's winter, no matter how warm it is than their Cloud City, it's still winter, when Xu Sanlang went out to ride a horse, Cheng Xi didn't make a fuss about going out to ride a horse, and obediently nested in the carriage with a hundred years old.

At the beginning, Cheng Xi thought that Xu Sanlang was also stuffy because he was nesting in the carriage every day, so he went out to ride a horse to breathe.

No, Cheng Xi opened the curtain a few times and looked left and right to see Xu Sanlang, and Ah Wu, who was driving in front of him, was also replaced by other guards, every time Cheng Xi asked Xu Sanlang, Xu Sanlang also flashed his words and only said that he went to the front to take a look, and Cheng Xi felt that something was wrong.

Finally, when Xu Sanlang said again that he was going to continue to drive at night, Cheng Xi asked Xu Sanlang when he was sleeping in the carriage on Aunt Qin's side when he was 100 years old, "You tell me honestly, is something wrong?" ”

Xu Sanlang knew that with Cheng Xi's cleverness, he would definitely guess something, but thinking about not worrying Cheng Xi too much, he still planned to hide it for a while, but now that Cheng Xi had guessed it, Xu Sanlang didn't plan to hide it, so as not to worry about Cheng Xi's crankiness the more he didn't know.

Cheng Xi kept staring at Xu Sanlang, watching the slight change in the expression on Xu Sanlang's face, waiting for Xu Sanlang to reply, after a while, Xu Sanlang raised his head to look at Cheng Xi, sighed and said, "I know that I can't hide it from you for a few days, and someone will follow us behind?" ”

Cheng Xi frowned slightly when he listened, "What person?" ”

Xu Sanlang replied helplessly, "I'm afraid that it's not good, it seems that we still underestimated Xu Wenyu, and actually spread the news of our departure into the capital so quickly, and the people sent out in the capital can catch up with us so quickly, and we are not slow." ”

Originally, Xu Saburo also had this layer of worry in his heart, so he kept hurrying, even if he saw Cheng Xi being 100 years old and tired, he had no intention of stopping, but he didn't expect that what he was worried about would really come.

Cheng Xi frowned and responded, "You mean that Xu Wenyu has already caught up with the emperor in the capital, and this person is also sent by the emperor in the capital?" ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, "And it should be the emperor directly, if it is someone else, there are Zhao family and Xue Dashao in the capital, this news will definitely be hindered, only if you directly connect with the emperor, the action will be so fast." ”

Cheng Xi sighed helplessly, "Why is it so difficult to think about stopping life in a few days, and what is the purpose of this time?" Engage in assassination? Or kidnapping as a hostage? ”

Xu Sanlang said, "Anyway, there won't be anything good, we have already solved two groups of people who are exploring and tracking in the back, and there will definitely be more masters in the back to catch up, so we have to speed up the speed of the road and try to enter the territory of Jiangnan before those people catch up, so that it will be much safer." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang and said, "You mean that you can't rest on the way and need to continue to hurry?" ”

Xu Saburo was very helpless and said, "It's almost like this, let's try to take the big road, these people will always be a little jealous, and then try to settle in the city, and they can only change horses to prepare dry food, and they must not rest." ”

Cheng Xi frowned, "It's okay for us to take the carriage, what about those guards who drive the carriage and ride the horse?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "You don't have to worry about these, they were all strictly trained secret guards at the beginning, these little things can't stop them, we will prepare an extra carriage for rest, and they will change shifts to catch the car." ”

Cheng Xi sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to endanger Wenyuan and them now." ”

Xu Sanlang responded, "You don't have to worry about him, even if the emperor arrests him, he only dares to trap him, and he doesn't dare to do anything to him." ”

Cheng Xi said, "That's good." ”

Xu Sanlang looked at the worry in Cheng Xi's eyes, reached out to hug Cheng Xi and gently patted Cheng Xi's back, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, everything is with me, and I won't let you have an accident again." ”

Cheng Xi leaned on Xu Sanlang's warm embrace, listening to Xu Sanlang's comfort, the heart that was originally carried suddenly felt a lot more relieved, it seemed that it was really as Xu Sanlang said, even if the sky fell, there was still him to hold her up.

Reaching out to hug Xu Sanlang's waist, Cheng Xi raised the corners of his lips, feeling in his heart that he had only experienced the sense of security in his parents in his previous life, but he didn't expect that here, in Xu Sanlang, he also experienced it.

Neither of them spoke again, quietly hugging for a long time, the years were quiet, and they both hoped that it would continue like this, but both of them knew in their hearts that maybe this was just the calm before the storm, and there were unknown dangers waiting for them ahead.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ah Wu's voice to come from the side of the carriage, "Master." ”

Xu Sanlang reluctantly let go of Cheng Xi and said, "Ah Wu told me that there must be something important, I'll go out and have a look first, you can sit in the carriage with peace of mind, and it will be fine." ”

Cheng Xi also looked reluctant, but he had to nod his head, let go of the hand holding Xu Sanlang's waist, and watched Xu Sanlang get out of the carriage.

At this time, Ah Wu's name was Xu Sanlang, and he didn't know what was going on outside, Cheng Xi was worried, but he was not ready to ask more, so as not to increase the pressure and burden on them.

Cheng Xi was nervous in his heart, but he kept throwing away the carriage curtain and looking outside, seeing that Xu Sanlang and Ah Wu were just talking from a distance, because they were far apart, and they couldn't see the expressions of the two clearly.

When Cheng Xi didn't know how many times he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, he finally saw the two people finish speaking, and then Xu Sanlang came over to the carriage, handed over his mount to one of the guards, and got into the carriage himself.

Seeing Xu Sanlang coming, Cheng Xi's eyes were no longer staring at Xu Sanlang, but looking at Ah Wu's side, gathering seven or eight guards, and then beating the horse and leaving quickly.

Until Xu Sanlang sat next to Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi kept looking in the direction where Ah Wu left.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's expression of looking up, reached out and rubbed Cheng Xi's head, and reminded Cheng Xi of his attention before asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

Cheng Xi finally retracted his gaze, lowered the car curtains, looked at Xu Sanlang, and asked suspiciously, "Ah Wu, what did they do?" ”

Originally, he told Cheng Xi these things, and Xu Sanlang didn't plan to continue to hide it from Cheng Xi, so he said, "The spies we planted in the back came to report, and there were a group of people who could follow us, so I asked Ah Wu to solve it." ”

Cheng Xi worried, "There are not many people, Ah Wu and they are just a few people, how to solve it?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "Don't worry, don't let them fight hard, didn't we just pass through a small town?" I asked Ah Wu to arrange a party of a few wagons, disguise themselves as our team, and then start misleading the people who were following us from the town and lure them away. ”

Cheng Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Is this feasible?" They are a few big men, and if they want to dress up as us, they will be easily discovered. ”

Xu Saburo said, "I asked them to think that they had discovered those people who were following them, and kept running forward, and those people would definitely be suspicious and chase after them, so that they could buy us more time." ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Yes, but I found that something was wrong, as long as those people had a little brain, they would soon find out that something was wrong and turn around and chase us, it seems that we have to really hurry up." ”

Xu Saburo nodded and responded, "I have already sent two people to take care of it, and the horses and dry food will be arranged along the way, so you don't have to worry." ”

Cheng Xi said, "Fortunately, Ah Yi and Ah Wen insisted that we bring all the guards, otherwise we would really be in trouble along the way." ”

After that, Cheng Xi and the others began to rush all the way non-stop, from the afternoon to the next morning.

Cheng Xi was worried and the carriage was going fast, so he kept waking up from sleep, and from time to time he would open his eyes and ask Xu Sanlang beside him if there was any movement.

Xu Sanlang also didn't dare to sleep this night, for fear of any accident, every time Cheng Xi woke up with a tired face and asked him about the situation, he was very distressed and patted Cheng Xi's back, and comforted softly, "There is no movement, sleep in peace." ”

The two of them stayed up like this until dawn the next morning, and finally waited for Ah Wu, but when they passed, there were seven or eight people, but when they came back, there were only two people.

When Ah Wu spoke up and whispered "master" on the side of the carriage, Cheng Xi sat up and couldn't wait to throw away the curtain of the carriage, looking at the only two people outside, Cheng Xi asked with a worried face, "Why did you two come back?" What about the others? ”

Ah Wu heard Cheng Xi's inquiry, and was slightly stunned, he only listened to the master's instructions, this matter must be hidden from Mrs. and others, what does Mrs. mean by asking him so at this time?

Noticing his own master who also poked his head out of the curtain of the carriage, Ah Wu looked at Xu Sanlang for help, Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi with a worried and eager expression, thinking that if something was hidden from her, she was afraid that she would be even more worried.

So Xu Saburo hurriedly said to Ah Wu, "Get into the carriage and say." ”

Ah Wu listened to Xu Saburo's instructions, so he nodded in response.

Xu Sanlang took advantage of Ah Wu to come in, dressed Cheng Xi as a whole, and wrapped Cheng Xi in a quilt, so as not to let Ah Wu come in with cold air and freeze Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi was tightly wrapped by Xu Sanlang, and Cheng Xi was also up to her, mainly because her attention was on Ah Wu who came in from outside at this time.

When Ah Wu came into the carriage, Xu Saburo beckoned Ah Wu to sit down at the door, took the wine bag on the side and handed it to Ah Wu, and said, "Drink something to warm up first." ”
