Hu Banniang didn't expect to be able to get out of Liangcheng in this way, Hu Taishou could only let her wander in Liangcheng, and once she got close to the city gate, someone would send her back. Even if they can come out, they are all twelve big men, and eight maids are protected by them, and they have to be nagged by two grandmothers all the way, otherwise they will be accompanied by Hu Taishou or two brothers in person. The most important thing is that this kind of galloping and happy feeling is something she has never experienced.

She hugged Shaohua's slender waist tightly, screaming happily, and the laughter sprinkled in the air from the city gate, listening to it very pleasantly.

After running for about a few hundred meters, Shaohua made a roundabout turn and cheered to stop the horse, Hu Banniang could not contain her laughter, and still couldn't stop the excitement in her heart, "It's so enjoyable, oh my God!" I never thought I could go out of town like this! I knew I was learning to ride a horse! Hu Banniang regretted very much that she didn't ask Hu Taishou to ride a horse earlier, although she knew that Hu Taishou would never agree. It's already good if she didn't force her to learn female red calligraphy and painting, how could she let her do such a dangerous thing.

Shaohua looked at the white sun and clouds, looking at the extreme vision, not far away is the familiar undulating mountains, just gallop in the direction of the mountain, and you can see the white city wall of northern Sichuan in a moment. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to have seen the soldiers standing in line on the city wall, and her ears vaguely seemed to be able to hear the sound of the neat military trumpet, as well as the incense of the Lu family's shop at the gate of the city. Everything was as if she had seen her again yesterday, but when she thought about it, she had not returned for many years, she sighed with emotion, and when she opened her eyes, it was still a white cloud.

Shaohua whispered to Hu Banniang: "Go back, this place is not far from the city gate, as long as you shout, someone will come out to pick you up immediately." She didn't want Hu Banniang to get involved in danger, for her, it was imperative to go to northern Sichuan, because there were her most important people there, and she had already been mentally prepared.

Hu Banniang was nervous, thinking that Shaohua thought she was too noisy, so she immediately begged: "Master, what's wrong with you, okay, I won't speak, I'm obedient, don't drive me away." ”

In Shaohua's view, Hu Banniang is just a child's temper and playfulness. Her face sank, and she shouted loudly: "Banniang, you are a dignified lady, what are you doing when you run out with me, do you know how dangerous it is in northern Sichuan!" ”

However, Hu Banniang is even more fearless than Shaohua, she said confidently: "I know, Master, aren't you also a lady in Beijing, I heard that the lady in Beijing is the same as the lady in the palace, and she has to be carried by an eight-person sedan chair when she goes out." You haven't run so far without Yan Ye, why can't I follow, I also escaped for the sake of Fulin. Her words made Shaohua speechless for a moment, and Hu Banniang hurriedly reassured, "I promise that I won't talk nonsense anymore, and I won't let Master worry anymore, so you just let me follow." ”

The so-called don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, Shaohua made Hu Banniang speechless for a while, thinking that she didn't know when Hu Taishou would send someone out, and she didn't want to be arrested before she succeeded. put away his expression, tightened the horse rope, and said to Hu Banniang: "This is what you said, otherwise you don't blame me for kicking you off the horse, and I don't care if you lose it." ”

After receiving a brisk consent from Hu Banniang, Shaohua immediately rode forward.

If you take the official road, it will take an hour and a half from Liangcheng to northern Sichuan, but Shaohua is very familiar with the terrain in northern Sichuan, and in order to hurry as soon as possible, she went around to the valley and planned to pass through the path by the stream. The road there is not easy to walk, but it is the closest, and more importantly, there is no way to drive, only on foot or on horseback, so most people will not walk there.

Hu Banniang couldn't be quiet for a while, looking at the unfamiliar scenery along the way, she couldn't hide the excitement on her face, "Then Master, what are we going to northern Sichuan for?" ”

Shaohua didn't answer, his eyes were only staring at the road ahead, and he was about to pass through the valley, and he only needed to return to the main road and walk for less than half an hour to reach northern Sichuan. Suddenly hearing a horse whistle, Shaohua subconsciously reined in the horse and looked around cautiously.

The road could not be galloped, there were many stones on the ground, and the stones were round and smooth, and it was vaguely evident that many years ago this mountain road should have been a river with a rapid flow of water, so that the stones could be washed so smoothly. Ordinary people should be cautious when passing through here, and it is difficult to ensure that the horse will not fall if you ride a horse fast. But listening to the whistling of horses from far and near, the horses must have been running in their direction, and they were galloping in fright.

As soon as Shaohua helped Hu Banniang off the horse, she saw a white and boundless horse galloping in front of her, Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and immediately whistled at the horse. To the surprise of Hu Banniang, the white horse, who was originally galloping wildly, turned his head and ran over when he heard Shaohua's whistle. And the white horse looked at Shaohua, just like a child seeing his relatives who had been separated for many years, and he was coquettish next to Shaohua.

Hu Banniang was speechless: "Master, is this your horse?" ”

was said by Hu Banniang, Shaohua was secretly frightened, how could the white marble originally raised in the Dingxi Hou Mansion suddenly come here, even if it was unguarded and escaped from the mansion, it should have been stopped at the city gate, unless someone took it out of the city.

Thinking of what Duofu said and Youning also ran away from home, Shaohua's heart couldn't help but get nervous. Han Baiyu is a very human horse, when she saw it for the first time, she seemed to have recognized her identity a long time ago, rubbing her face affectionately, happily eating what Shaohua fed, even Bao'er was dumbfounded. Because except for Youning, Dabao and Bao'er have always fed it, and even Xiaobao, who looks exactly like the two of them, refuses to eat white marble. But as soon as Shaohua appeared, it seemed to be able to sense that Shaohua was its original owner, and that intimacy made Youning call the white-eyed wolf.

But because he was afraid that Yan Kaizhi would not agree, Han Baiyu did not take it back to the Marquis Xingyong Mansion, and still kept it for Youning to help take care of it. At this time, the white marble appeared in northern Sichuan, thousands of miles away from the capital, which means that Youning is also nearby. However, Han Baiyu is very smart and heartfelt, Shaohua knows that there is no special situation, it will never leave its master, let alone run around like just now.

Somehow, Han Baiyu hissed a few times, shaking her huge head and arching Shaohua's body forward, as if asking her to leave here. Shaohua also had doubts, she looked at the direction where Han Baiyu came from, the exit there was extremely narrow, and only two horses had passed, if someone was really chasing Han Baiyu, they would inevitably face each other head-on if they rushed forward.

"Master, what's wrong?" Hu Banniang looked at Shaohua looking ahead with a solemn expression, and couldn't help but approach her nervously.

Seeing that Shaohua refused to leave, Han Baiyu became even more restless, and vigorously used her head to push Shaohua's back and pushed her forward. Shaohua became more and more sure that Han Baiyu must have been pursued just now, and the other party would soon rush in their direction.

She looked at the scenery around her, and suddenly rejoiced that this year's heavy rain had made the surrounding Rui grass white myrtle grow very well, she calmed Han Baiyu, and led the two horses to the half-man-tall pile of weeds. Hu Banniang hurriedly followed, and Shaohua skillfully pushed aside the grass, and saw that there was a gap hidden behind the grass, and then there was a dead end, but on a rainy day, it was still barely able to cover it. I don't know if it's a small cave carved out by hand or a natural formation, but it's hidden behind the grass, and few people will know.

Shaohua finally calmed down the two horses and hid, and when she heard people coming one after another, she leaned nervously against Hu Banniang. The cave was small, and two horses were not enough to hide from two, so they had to hide in the grass.

She secretly picked up the grass and saw several figures stopped in front of the grass, as if they were suspicious of the surroundings, Shaohua was shocked, and subconsciously reached out to cover Hu Banniang's mouth.

I only heard the leader shouting: "Chase!" They won't be able to escape far. ”

After a while, someone reported: "Chief, there are stones here, and there is no trace of horses' hooves." ”

"! I poisoned Lao Tzu's horses, and when I caught him, I had to skin him! Search, search for me carefully! They won't be able to escape far. The big man led by him burst out a foul word, and the turbid and powerful roar made Shaohua secretly frightened when he heard it.

Seeing someone walking towards the grass with a knife, Shaohua was so frightened that she wanted to shout, Hu Banniang also helped her cover her mouth with her eyes, and the two covered each other's mouths, looking very funny. Seeing that the other party was about to walk in front of them, the man led by him shouted again: "Listen to me, there is an order from above, you must not leave a living mouth, and you must not let them run to Liangcheng!" Otherwise, you and I won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

"Yes!" A neat and powerful answer made Shaohua's heart sink even more, she didn't know if what he said was Youning, if so, from the tone of these people, it was obviously not an ordinary Jianghu wanderer, and the accent was vaguely like someone in the capital.

She was a little nervous in her heart, could it be someone sent by Jingli? But not long after Xin Maoshan returned to Beijing, he never had a grudge against anyone, how could anyone come to hunt down and kill Youning.

Seeing that the man was getting closer and closer, Shaohua let go of Hu Banniang's mouth, winked at her, pointed at himself, and pointed to the front. Hu Banniang didn't know if she understood, she just nodded, only to see Shaohua prostrate over, a hook foot, suddenly someone said in a muffled voice, Shaohua immediately pounced. Hu Banniang also rubbed over nervously, just in time to see Shaohua sitting on the other party, covering his mouth with one hand and holding a dagger against his throat with the other. The strength was not as great as Fang Cai's holding Hu Banniang hostage, but I saw that the green tendons on the opponent's forehead were bursting, and Shaohua's dagger had pierced into the opponent's throat, revealing a thin drop of blood. The subdued man's eyes widened, apparently feeling that he was unbelievably subdued by a delicate and feeble-looking little lady.

In the end, Shaohua's actions still attracted the attention of others, only to hear someone ask: "Wang Wu, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Wang Wu's eyes went towards his companions, but the dense grass obscured their voices, and he wanted to make a sound, but he was afraid that Shaohua would really cut his throat fiercely. Shaohua was also worried that there were at least four or five men on the other side, and if they were discovered, they would definitely not be able to escape. Just when Shaohua was nervous, Hu Banniang suddenly pressed his throat and let out a low male voice, pretending to be very embarrassed, which made Shaohua's eyes widen in shock: "It's okay, I accidentally twisted my foot, you go first, and I'll follow." ”

The other party didn't seem to notice that something was wrong, and after saying a word, he ran away, "Then you hurry up." ”

Hu Banniang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes." Although she knew ventriloquism, she had never heard Wang Wu's voice, so she had no way to learn it, so she could only try to lower her voice and rely on Meng. Fortunately, the other party didn't notice it, and heard the leader shouting: "You go over there to search, you guys, go over there." ”
