Chapter 115: The night is dark
readx;? Ning Lan felt a slight pain, she bit her lip, and although she was unwilling in her heart, she finally endured it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lu Yingquan was right, she was indeed afraid of death, because she had already tasted the taste of wandering in front of the ghost gate, so she didn't want to die again. This hard-won opportunity can let her live, and she definitely doesn't want to die.
However, she couldn't figure out Lu Yingquan's thoughts, she didn't know what kind of existence Yun Yao's death was in Lu Yingquan's heart, so she didn't dare to touch this hurdle easily, she was afraid that if she accidentally angered Lu Yingquan, she would really end up with the same fate.
"Let go. Ning Lan said, "If we arrive in Yiguo safely this time, you are the master and I am the slave." ”
Hearing this, Lu Yingquan sneered, then took away the hairpin against Ning Lan's neck, and inserted it back into his hair, as if everything just now had never happened.
When he opened the curtain again and looked outside, Lu Yingquan found that they had already left the city gate, and the carriage was gradually moving towards the outskirts of Beijing, and the guards who were responsible for escorting them to Yiguo dutifully surrounded the carriage to protect their safety.
However, there didn't seem to be much danger on the way, and it took only three days to reach the first county outside the capital, and they entered the county seat, found the largest inn to live in, recuperate, and replenish food.
Similarly, Yun Yao and her team of people who ostensibly went to Yiguo, but actually went to Haoguo, also arrived in Sanping County on the evening of the third day, when it was almost dark.
"It's getting late, and it's not easy to walk at night, so let's rest here for the night, and when we have enough food, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. The captain of the guard, who was escorting him outside, spoke, and led the carriage to the inn.
Under the supervision of Tingyu and Tingxue, Yun Yao put on the veil again, the thing that was worn on her head like a hat, but her entire head was covered tightly, and she couldn't see the face inside clearly at all.
Slowly getting off the carriage, Yun Yao walked into the inn with the support of listening to the rain and the snow.
The captain of the guard stepped forward and found the shopkeeper of the inn to open five rooms, side by side, which could focus on protecting Yun Yao's safety, and in case of any accidents, he could also make the most effective measures in the fastest time.
Yun Yao and the two maidservants lived in the middle room, and the two guards stood guard at the door to strengthen the guards, rotating every two hours, and there were also two guard handles in the courtyard of the back window downstairs of the inn, which were also rotated every two hours.
The rest rested in the four rooms next to them, recuperating and preparing for their shifts.
"Miss Yun, please wait in the house for a while, and the slave maid will go and bring the food. Listening to the rain said, and then let Tingxue stare at Yun Yao, and went down by himself.
Actually, they could have asked Xiao Er of the inn to bring the food, but for fear that Yun Yao would be seen by others, they chose to do it themselves, even a few guards in the next room.
Listening to the rain in and out of the door closed tightly, very cautious, but Tingxue dutifully guarded Yun Yao's side, not leaving an inch.
It wasn't until Tingyu brought the food in and confirmed that everything was okay inside the meal that Yun Yao took off the veil and started eating. Of course, when eating, the doors and windows are tightly closed, and Tingyu and Tingxue are very vigilant, even if someone passes by the door, it will attract their attention.
I don't know if it's because they're too cautious, or because their worries are simply superfluous, nothing special happens along the way, at most, when they stay at the guest house, they will attract the attention of others a little.
After staying at the inn twice, the captain of the guard found this too eye-catching, so he changed the resting place to the wilderness, and the supply of food was sent to his men to the town to buy it, so that it was much more convenient.
Finally, all the way calmly to Luoming County, to the woods at the foot of Mount Jingang.
"The mountain road of Mt. Kumgang is a bit difficult to walk, and it is too dark at night, so I am afraid it will be even more difficult to walk. The captain of the guard said, "After passing the King Kong Mountain, we will be diverted to Haoguo, Miss Yun, why don't we rest here for one night." ”
"You look at the arrangement, you don't have to ask me. Yun Yao said, "Your task is to successfully deliver me to my destination, as for how to deliver it, it is your business." ”
Listening to Yun Yao's words, the captain of the guard immediately ordered: "Stop on the spot and camp to rest." ”
Soon, the escorting guards began to set up tents in the field, and then went around collecting branches and making fires to make everyone less cold. Yun Yao was accompanied by Tingyu and Tingxue in the carriage, and only after these guards had set up the tent and the fire was lit did they come out of the carriage.
Yun Yao naturally knew that when she was outside the carriage, Tingyu and Tingxue would not let her take off her veil, so she had no intention of taking it off, but she was silently alone, leaning against the tree, closing her eyes and resting.
There was a fire next to her, listen to the rain and listen to the snow and sit next to the fire, otherwise add branches to keep the fire unextinguished, so that Yun Yao felt warmer.
"If the girl is tired, take a break, and we'll look at it here. Listening to Xue said, "Although this place is a mountain forest, the terrain is relatively open, and there will be no ambush, so there should be no danger." ”
"Good. Yun Yao nodded slightly, and she really fell asleep with peace of mind.
It's not that she's careless, or whatever, but because she feels that her life has long been decided by herself, and she doesn't care about what will happen along the way.
Is...... If it comes, it will be safe.
However, no one knew that behind the big tree not far from the fire, there was a hidden person, who was watching their every move, but silently.
It was as if he was one with the darkness, and even his breath was so weak that it was impossible to detect any clues.
I don't know how long it took for this man, who was hidden in the darkness, to finally leave, through the woods, to a cave halfway up Mount Kongo.
"General, my subordinates are back. When Achen entered the cave, he greeted him.
In the cave, it was Gu Qingming who was pacing back and forth with a calm face, and when he heard Achen's voice, he immediately turned around and asked, "How is the situation?"
"See clearly. Achen replied, "There are eighteen guards, three women, and two carriages, and there is no ambush in the shadows. They are now in the woods at the foot of the mountain, and tomorrow at dawn they will set off, and according to the speed of the carriage along the mountain road, they should reach the position we have set at about noon. ”
"Tomorrow, let our men lie in ambush there, we must be quick and accurate, and we must not let them have any chance to ventilate and report the news. Gu Qingming said, "If the Queen Mother knows that we are Li Dai Taozhuang, she will definitely come up with other ways." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it early tomorrow morning. Achen nodded.
In the winter night, it is a little cold, especially in this wilderness, even the insects and birds that are most often heard in the mountains and forests on weekdays have all traces extinct.
Only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, rustling, sounded eerily empty and eerie in this wood.
A cool breeze blew, Yun Yao couldn't help but shiver, and it also made her sleepiness reduce a lot, but she was still a little groggy and felt very tired.
She knew that she must have been too tired from driving these days, and the weather was cold, so she was already afraid of cold, so she was like this.
Yun Yao couldn't help but think of last winter, when she was just a little palace maid in the Ting Palace, she was framed, punished and kneeled in the snow, and almost died on that icy and snowy day. Later, Aunt Beiyuehe was locked up in a water prison for three days, and the cold air entered her body, if it weren't for Gu Qingming, she might not have been in this world a long time ago.
Thinking of Gu Qingming, Yun Yao's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and a tear slipped down her eyes, left along her face, penetrated into the clothes around her neck, and disappeared.
She was glad that she was wearing a veil at the moment, that thin veil that covered her face, and also covered all her thoughts, love and hatred, joys and sorrows, in a place where no one could see, she could only taste it alone.
Yun Yao didn't know if she could still see Gu Qingming in this life, maybe in Gu Qingming's opinion, she was already dead and became one of the many beings carried out of the palace by Yongxiang.
Just when Yun Yao was closing her eyes and thinking nonsense, there was a sudden warmth on her body, and she felt that someone had draped the cloak on her body, making her body, which had just felt a little cold, suddenly warm up.
This warmth is very similar to Lu Yingquan's warm hands and bright smiling face on that snowy day.
"Raise the fire. Listening to the sound of snow, she sighed, "Miss Yun's body is too weak, and after King Kong Mountain, let's go to the town to buy a small hand stove for her to hold." ”
"You are too good to her, don't forget, she is just a pawn of the Queen Mother. Tingyu then spoke.
"Aren't the two of us?" Ting Xue said, "When we arrive in Haoguo, we are not familiar with life, and we and her are grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost." Maybe the two of us will have to rely on her to save our lives in Haoguo. ”
The sound of conversation disappeared, but Yun Yao's eyes under the veil suddenly opened, and through this veil, he could vaguely see the fire jumping outside, as well as the figures of Tingyu and Tingxue.
She could only sigh helplessly, she couldn't help herself, why bother with each other? She didn't even dare to think about how many innocent people in the hands of the Queen Mother had become her pawns, and they could only live under her orders for the rest of their lives, and they couldn't get out.
The night was deeper, and the air around him was cooler, but fortunately, with the cloak brought by Tingxue, Yun Yao still felt that it was not so cold. She leaned against the tree and did not move, and everyone thought she was asleep, but only she knew that when she woke up, it was difficult to sleep.
Halfway up the mountainside of King Kong Mountain, Gu Qingming was also awake.
Gu Chen picked up a branch and lit a fire, making the cave bright and warm, but these flames made Gu Qingming involuntarily think of the day Yun Yao was cremated, and the corpses in the corpse pit beyond recognition.
