Ah Wu took a big sip of the wine jug, and as soon as he finished drinking, he heard Cheng Xi eagerly ask again, "Why are the two of you coming back, and what about the others?" ”

Ah Wu was rare to be smart, and he saw that his wife was seriously worried and anxious, but he still remembered his master's instructions and went to his master first.

After receiving the nod of his master's approval, Ah Wu answered, "Madam, don't worry, they will be fine, but they just pretended to be our team to lure away the people who pursued us, and they have their own way to get out." ”

Hearing that those people were not in trouble, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he finished breathing a sigh of relief, he heard an even more annoying news.

I only heard Ah Wu open his mouth and said to Xu Sanlang, "Master, we have to speed up again, there is a group of people chasing after us, almost twenty people, the two of us dare not fight hard, so we have to use the secret recruitment prepared by Ah Yi*, I don't want a team of people among those people to go out to patrol around and not hit, we have to give up, hurry over and inform you, Ah Yi said that the medicine can last almost eight hours, we only have eight hours to get rid of them." ”

Cheng Xi only kept frowning when he heard this, since those people wanted to deal with them, they were afraid that they were all masters, and the speed of their group of people would definitely not be able to compare to those who rode horses.

Thinking of Ah Yi's messy medicine, Cheng Xi couldn't help but murmur, "Why didn't you let Ah Yi get some poison and poison them directly." ”

Ah Wu's ears were smart, and he could hear Cheng Xi's muttering clearly, so he answered honestly, "Ah Yi has it, and I used it up a few times before." ”

Cheng Xi sighed helplessly and responded, "Okay." ”

Xu Saburo also frowned slightly, and said to Ah Wu in a heavy tone, "Inform everyone, hurry up." ”

Ah Wu responded, and got out of the carriage and informed them one by one.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's frowning brows, stretched out his hand to caress it, and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, with me, I won't let you have anything to do, I'll go out to see the situation and come back in a while." ”

Cheng Xi nodded indiscriminately, just like this, she still can't rest assured, but for Xu Sanlang's peace of mind, she responded obediently and watched Xu Sanlang pull the curtain out of the carriage.

The carriage slowed down slightly, and when Xu Saburo left, it sped up again, because the speed increased, and the road was already uneven, and the carriage was very bumpy.

Cheng Xi lifted the curtain uneasily, and saw that Xu Sanlang and Ah Wu were all riding horses not far away, discussing something while moving forward quickly, and they dispersed after a while, Ah Wu took one person back, one person hit the horse and moved forward quickly, the others returned to the team, and Xu Sanlang also rode to this side.

After a while, the carriage slowed down, Xu Sanlang got into the carriage again, with a cold air on his body, Cheng Xi motioned for Xu Saburo to sit beside him, and then wrapped the big cloak on his body around Xu Sanlang.

The two of them leaned together, and Cheng Xi felt a little relieved, no matter what happened, at least Xu Saburo was by his side.

Xu Sanlang also seemed to feel Cheng Xi's dependence on him, and he didn't bother to care that Cheng Xi would freeze with the cold on his body, so he reached out and hugged Cheng Xi into his arms.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, enjoying the warmth of the two of them leaning on each other.

After a long while, the sky outside was getting darker and darker, and Cheng Xi raised his head to look at Xu Sanlang and said, "If there is another wave of people, what should we do?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "It shouldn't be, we have already stopped several groups, and even if there are still people, they will only be further behind, and it is impossible to be faster than the group of people behind us who are fascinated by Ah Wu, don't worry too much, it will be fine." ”

Cheng Xi sighed and said, "I'm too lazy to worry, I haven't met anything anyway?" I thought about it, even if the emperor arrests us, he won't move us easily, at most he will only use us to threaten King Jiang Nanrui, at least our lives will not be in danger. ”

Xu Saburo reached out and pinched Cheng Xi's nose, "You're smart, you didn't sleep well last night, and you haven't slept today, do you want to sleep for a while now?" I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night in the carriage, and I can't see the road clearly at night, and I'm sure there will be some bumps. ”

When Xu Saburo said this, Cheng Xi also felt a little sleepy, and at this time, he also thought that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, and he would take care of him three seven twenty-one, and sleep well first.

So Cheng Xi nodded, and went over to lie down on the soft collapse inside, while Xu Sanlang went to sit down outside the soft collapse, covered Cheng Xi with a quilt, and patted Cheng Xi like a child, in Xu Sanlang's rhythmic patting, Cheng Xi really fell asleep after a while.

I didn't sleep for long, and I woke up again, there was no trace of Xu Sanlang in the carriage, but the guard who was driving the carriage was sleepy sitting at the door of the carriage, Cheng Xi sat up worriedly, and at the same time woke up the guard sitting at the door.

Cheng Xi took the first step to ask, "What about Xu Sanlang?" ”

The guard sat up straight and answered, "The master and his subordinates are changing shifts and are catching up with the car, madam, you continue to rest, and your subordinates go out to change the master and come in." ”

Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but the guards had already left the carriage, and the carriage also slowed down, and soon Xu Sanlang came in, with the cold outside, but in the winter night, the cold outside was heavier than during the day.

Xu Sanlang didn't care about the cold on his body and didn't go to Cheng Xi's side, so he only asked with concern, "Why did you wake up?" ”

Cheng Xi lit the lantern and saw the cold breath exhaled from Xu Sanlang's mouth, and urged, "Come over and warm up." ”

Xu Saburo responded, "I'm afraid I'm freezing you." ”

However, seeing Cheng Xi's unhappy expression and high-pitched lips, Xu Sanlang still passed over to Cheng Xi's side, Cheng Xi stretched out his hand, pulled Xu Sanlang's hand into his quilt, and reached out again to cover Xu Sanlang's frozen face, and asked, "When?" ”

Xu Sanlang didn't know very well, so he only answered, "It should be the middle of the night, I've been walking for almost three or four hours." ”

Cheng Xi didn't expect that he would sleep so deeply, thinking about the water Xu Saburo gave him to drink before going to bed, afraid that there was something wrong with the water, Cheng Xi couldn't help but glared at Xu Saburo again, but he couldn't bear to blame Xu Saburo.

Hearing Xu Sanlang's words, he must have been driving the carriage for three or four hours, so Cheng Xi said, "You can also come up and rest." ”

Xu Sanlang didn't refuse, took off his coat, got into the quilt, and squeezed together with Cheng Xi, Xu Sanlang was tall, so squeezed with Cheng Xi was really crowded, but it was more comfortable than sitting and sleeping.

Holding Cheng Xi tightly in his arms, Xu Sanlang also closed his eyes tiredly, although Cheng Xi had woken up, he didn't move, obediently hugged by Xu Sanlang, and listened to Xu Sanlang's breathing gradually become regular.

It didn't take long for Cheng Xi to close his eyes again in a daze, and woke up again, it was already morning, the carriage had slowed down, and Xu Sanlang was gone.

Cheng Xi got up and put on his coat, only then did he open the curtain and look out, the guards who were driving outside the carriage heard the movement inside, and said while driving the carriage, "Is Madame awake?" ”

Cheng Xi listened to the guard's inquiry and answered, "Well, where did Xu Sanlang go?" ”

The guard replied, "There is a town nearby, and the master has gone to buy food, and he should be able to come back soon." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, looked at the faintly dense and densely populated buildings not far away, and continued to ask, "Where are we?" ”

The guard said, "It's already in Youzhou, if we follow this speed, we can reach Jiangnan in two days at most." ”

Cheng Xi heard that he was finally about to arrive in Jiangnan, and his heart was a little relieved.

After a while, Xu Saburo really came back quickly with two guards on horseback, and after a while, he came back to the carriage, put the things in his hand on the table, and beckoned Cheng Xi, "Just eat a little to fill your stomach." ”

While talking, Xu Sanlang called the oiled paper bag, which was still steaming steamed buns, and then handed the cowhide kettle to Cheng Xi, still with heat, it should be hot water.

Cheng Xi took it and asked uneasily, "What about a hundred years old?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "Don't worry, I bought it for everyone." ”

Cheng Xi just ate it, but he didn't have much appetite for eating, Cheng Xi also beckoned Xu Sanlang to eat some, and the two of them were eating, when a voice came from outside and said, "Xu Gongzi, Mrs. Xu, our son-in-law wants to see the two." ”

Xu Saburo stopped his movements and paused before he answered, "Please come and talk." ”

Then he called the chariot guards to slow down the carriage even more.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and then Gongzi Wenyuan got into the carriage alone, Xu Sanlang beckoned Gongzi Wenyuan to sit down, and was about to ask what was going on with them.

I don't want to Gongzi Wenyuan, but he took the first step and said, "Gongzi Xu, the city lord of Youzhou has some friendship with you, why don't we go to Youzhou first?" ”

Xu Sanlang frowned slightly, in the current situation, how can he still follow Xu Gongzi to Youzhou City to wander around and delay time? It is best to reach the territory of Jiangnan as soon as possible in order to be safe, but Prince Wen Yuan is different, if Prince Wen Yuan is separated from them, it is better to avoid the sword without eyes and affect them.

Thinking like this, Xu Saburo opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you go to visit Gongzi Wen before, and then go to Jiangnan to look for us?" Let's not bother. ”

Gongzi Wen Yuan looked at Xu Sanlang and said, "With our current situation, even if our carriage is fast, it can't compare to the speed of others, in the next opinion, it is better for a few people to follow down to Youzhou City, with the support of the city lord of Youzhou, even if those people have a background, they dare not blatantly break into the city lord's mansion to arrest people." ”

Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi were a little surprised, they didn't say anything, but this Wenyuan Gongzi looked like he knew everything?

Gongzi Wen Yuan saw the expressions of the two in his eyes and said, "Even if you don't say it, I guessed it." ”
