Chapter Eighty-Four: A Thousand Miles (Part II)
After a while, Mr. Yuan's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss Duan, Deputy Gang Leader Liu of the Water Dragon Gang is here!" ”
Duan Yingluo glanced at Gu Xiyan deeply and walked away.
Gu Xiyan adjusted her breathing, tried her best to maintain a natural sitting posture, and waited intently.
She could feel Mr. Yuan's breath outside the curtain, and heard the footsteps of pedestrians passing by, the wheels of carriages passing by.
Waiting makes time infinitely long.
When Duan Yingluo opened the curtain and entered, Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his palms were wet.
They remained silent, and the carriage began to move again.
At dusk, the carriage was bumping more than usual, and Gu Xiyan only felt as if his abdomen and intestines had been turned upside down, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit. She closed her eyes and lay crookedly on her chest, trying not to let the moans escape.
Duan Yingluo saw that Gu Xiyan's face was snow-white, and her brows were tightly clenched on her chest, knowing that she was uncomfortable again. Thinking of her being a famous lady, she had never complained about the food and sleeping along the way, and she couldn't help but comfort her: "If you hold on, we will go to the Water Dragon Gang immediately, and then you can freshen up and sleep well." ”
Gu Xiyan reluctantly smiled at Duan Yingluo and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" It's a pity that she has lost too much weight during this time, and she smiled, revealing her white gums.
Duan Yingluo turned her face sideways, unable to bear to look at her. It's easy for the car to stop. Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan get out of the carriage, surrounded by a dense forest, Mr. Yuan bowed to Duan Yingluo: "Miss Duan, take your leave." ”
Duan Yingluo smiled and nodded: "It's been hard along the way." ”
Mr. Yuan smiled. Drove away in a carriage.
The two waited in the woods.
Gu Xiyan asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. Yuan at odds with the Water Dragon Gang?" ”
Duan Yingluo hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm not at odds, it's just that I don't want to meet." After all, hearing and seeing are two different things. ”
Gu Xiyan nodded clearly: "Afraid that people will know that he sent us out of Shengjing?" ”
Duan Yingluo smiled: "Of course." Her voice just fell. Gu Xiyan saw a handsome young man walking towards them. He was in his early twenties, and was dressed in a royal blue round robe, which was very beautifully cut and cut. Far away, the young man hugged his fists and said, "Miss Duan, help Liu Sanlang in the water dragon." Miss Lao has been waiting for a long time! ”
Duan Yingluo greeted him with a smile: "It turned out to be Deputy Gang Leader Liu!" ”
When he said two words, Liu Sanlang had stopped at a distance of about two meters from them: "Miss Duan, I have ordered to go down and arrange the boat." +++ Junzitang first launch +++ It's just that the matter is in a hurry, and I have to ask the girl to wait for two or three days. While talking to Duan Yingluo, he looked at Gu Xiyan from the corner of his eye, his eyes flashing with a burning light. The first time we met, I looked at her with this kind of gaze.
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but take a step back. Half of his body hid behind Duan Yingluo.
Duan Yingluo felt Gu Xiyan's actions, and thought that she was too weak and tired to stand, so she hurriedly smiled at Liu Sanlang and said, "Gang Master Liu is too polite, then forgive us for disturbing." ”
Liu Sanlang said with a smile: "Miss Duan, don't say that, we are very honored to be able to contribute to the Shura Gate...... we are very honored to be able to contribute to the Shura Gate" As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a green curtain oil truck drove out of the woods. It's just that the guy who drove the car was a young man.
"There are many people in the water dragon class, and the good and bad help are uneven, and I also asked Miss Duan to be wronged in the other courtyard." Liu Sanlang looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile, "I see that this girl is weak, and she happens to be recuperating and repairing in the other courtyard." It's never too late to go. ”
Duan Yingluo smiled and said, "I have to worry about the leader of Lao Liu." helped Gu Xiyan into the carriage.
The carriage turned out of the forest and walked for a short while. Stopped in front of a delicate and small courtyard, Liu Sanlang stepped forward and knocked on the door, the old man saw Liu Sanlang, he was very surprised, Liu Sanlang whispered a few words to the old man, the old man glanced at the carriage with a curious gaze, and ran down the high threshold, so that the carriage could drive directly into the inner courtyard.
There was no obstacle, the carriage drove straight to the second gate of the inner courtyard and stopped, Liu Sanlang led the way in front, and Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan to follow behind.
At this time, it was already the time when the moon and stars were scarce, the courtyard was quiet, no lights were lit, and there were dark shadows in front of the eyes, but despite this, Gu Xiyan could also feel that this courtyard had a beautiful scenery and exquisite layout.
They walked through several courtyards, past a flowerbed, and stopped in front of a small, dilapidated tiled house. The tiled house is very tight and the door is hidden, and by the moonlight you can see that there are some buckets, flat poles, iron pulls and other things piled up inside, like a house used by a gardener to pile up sundries.
Liu Sanlang stepped forward and pushed open the door of the hall, and said apologetically: "Miss Duan, although this place is remote and simple, there are few people who come and go, and there is a dense forest behind the house. ”
Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan into the house, and said with a smile: "Let Gang Master Liu bother." ”
Liu Sanlang glanced at Gu Xiyan with profound eyes, and said with a smile: "The two girls have been in the dust all the way, they must be tired, so let's rest early." I'll take my leave. ”
Duan Yingluo smiled at Liu Sanlang wordlessly, and Liu Sanlang clenched his fists and said goodbye. When leaving, he was very careful to close the door for them.
Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan to open the coarse cloth door curtain and enter the inner room next to him. The inner room was completely different from the hall, it was evident that it had been carefully cleaned up, the clean and tidy shelf bed, the bedding and the towels and tooth powder on the mirror table, the toothbrush, and the fragrant pancreas were all new, and by the window there was a small charcoal stove and a wooden barrel about a man high, and the charcoal stove held a large copper kettle, and the spout was still steaming.
Duan Yingluo smiled: "The girl can finally drink hot water." Take a hot shower. ”
Although Gu Xiyan was so tired that he didn't want to do anything, he still fought hard and prepared to wash up before going to bed. Duan Yingluo saw that she couldn't even wring out a towel, rolled up her sleeves to help Gu Xiyan wash her hair and body, and then wrapped her hair in a dry towel and carried her to the bed before starting to clean herself up.
Gu Xiyan lay on the soft bed. Covered with a futon that smelled of dry sunlight, she felt that her happiness was about to melt, and she quickly fell asleep.
I don't know how much I woke up. Gu Xiyan was woken up by Duan Yingluo: "You haven't taken medicine yet, get up and take medicine quickly." ”
Gu Xiyan got up and drank a bowl of thick Chinese medicine.
Duan Yingluo wore wet hair and a jacket to serve her to drink medicine: "You have to ask a doctor to take medicine seriously, so dragging it out will drag your body down." ”
Gu Xiyan also knew this truth and asked, "I don't know if there is any news from Shengjing." If we have time, we might as well rest for two days. Speaking of this, she remembered the gaze that Liu Sanlang looked at her. He added: "I just don't know if it's safe in the Water Dragon Gang." ”
Duan Yingluo smiled: "Don't worry too much, as long as we get to Lingdao, it will be safe." In his tone, he comforted her.
Gu Xiyan was stunned.
Duan Yingluo is Qi Maosheng's person, could it be that she has already passed the news to Qi Maosheng, what arrangements does Qi Maosheng have in Lingdao!
Come to think of it. Gu Xiyan couldn't help but have a look of disgust and joy on her face.
She carefully recalled the last time she met Qi Maosheng.
At that life-and-death juncture, he still bothered to arrange for her like this, didn't he feel a little affection for her?
Gu Xiyan suddenly couldn't sleep, she asked Duan Yingluo softly: "You guys are in Lingdao, do you have any other arrangements?" ”
Duan Yingluo looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise: "You are going to Lingdao, isn't it arranged by Grandpa Guo?" ”
Gu Xiyan looked at Duan Yingluo in surprise: "Of course not!" ”
The two looked at each other.
In the lightning, they all realized: the misunderstanding is big!
Gu Xiyan thought that with Duan Yingluo's background, knowledge and skills, it would be overkill to be willing to help him leave the Gu family, so why make simple things complicated. Everything is up to her.
Duan Yingluo thought that Gu Xiyan, a woman raised in a deep boudoir, could have such courage to escape from marriage, and also fled to Lingdao thousands of miles away, if it wasn't for the support of Yan Guogong Qi Hao behind her back, how could she have such courage...... When she saw Gu Xiyan's plan to escape from marriage. I just think it's ridiculous. Porous. In order to complete the task as soon as possible, but also for their own safety. Duan Yingluo took the initiative to help Gu Xiyan leave Shengjing. She used the power of Shuramen in the rivers and lakes to rush to Prism Island as fast as possible. She thought that when she arrived at Leng Island, she would be able to make a difference, but she didn't expect it......
Gu Xiyan's face was like ashes for a while!
It's not Qi Maosheng who asked Duan Yingluo to help him at all......
Duan Yingluo's face turned pale for a while!
There is no one to answer in Tsubajima......
The two said in unison: "We have to have a good talk!" After a moment, they said in unison: "You speak first!" ”
Too much talk can make you lose it all!
Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "You are a sister, you say it first." ”
"Okay, I'll start with that." Duan Yingluo thought for a moment, "What is the relationship between you and Yan Guogong?" ”
Gu Xiyan said: "He was injured in Shengjing, and I inadvertently saved his life." ”
Duan Yingluo nodded, and Gu Xiyan said, "Why would he ask you to be my maidservant?" ”
Duan Yingluo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a long story. Do you know what Shura is? ”
Gu Xiyan shook his head.
Duan Yingluo said: "In Taichu Li Xue, Shura is a woman, she has a peerless appearance, but she has a violent temper that is stronger than fire. She has a strong temperament and strong mana, and the first generation of the Shura Sect, Gu Xianzi, founded a sect in the name of Shura. At that time, the political situation was chaotic and the people were struggling to make a living, Gu Fairy took in many baby girls who were homeless due to the war, she taught them kung fu, and then introduced some martial arts to the inner courtyard of the wealthy as female bodyguards, charging a certain management fee, and then using these expenses to maintain the daily expenses of the Shura Gate. After Xizhao unified the Xia Kingdom, there were some disputes among the elders of our Shura Gate Land about the current situation. Some people think that the Shura Gate should be disbanded, some people think that it should be returned to the court, and some people think that the characteristics of the Shura Gate should be maintained, the number of people should be reduced, and the high-end route should be taken, so as to provide a women's nursing home for the nobles of the noble clan who can afford it. Later, the Shura Gate became the Northern Shura and the Southern Shura. After hundreds of years of development, there are now about 500 people in the Northern Shura, of which women account for a small half, most of them are men. More than 300 years ago, Nan Shura set up a dojo in Xiufeng, Jiangnan County, to train men for the imperial court, such as the Praetorian Guards, the Jinwu Army, and the Yulin Temple. ”
