838. Chapter 838 - A Strange Convoy
Walking the same road again, but the mood is completely different.
When I entered Sichuan before, I was anxious and uneasy all the way, as if this heart had been roasted on a small fire, but this time it was much easier, although there were still some unfinished things hanging in my heart, but after all, I was reunited with my daughter, and the biggest stone in my heart was put down. A pair of smiling faces, all the worries are forgotten.
All the way to the west, it was still those long and rugged mountain roads, because he was afraid of the children, Liu Qinghan did not order the starry night journey, it took nearly two days longer than the previous time, and then he entered some towns, and gradually, the road became smooth and lively.
Early in the morning, our carriage left the post station, and Li'er jumped around in the wide carriage, comparing with me how she made a big fuss in Yangzhou Mansion, and made Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi uncomfortable.
I sat on the sidelines, smiling and looking at them, when suddenly I heard a rumbling sound overhead.
After a moment, I realized that it was thunder.
When Su Su heard this, he said, "Oh no." β
Sure enough, it was bad, the weather that was originally clear and clear, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds, and the downpour suddenly fell, knocking on the roof of the car and crackling, as if pearls were rolling down into the jade plate. In a short time, the whole world was covered with a silver-gray, dense rain curtain, and the road of our convoy was soon muddy, and the wheels were all rolled over by the mud.
The weather in Nishikawa is like this, with a torrential wind and rain.
I retracted and no sooner had I lowered the curtain than the carriage stopped.
The coachman in front of him came running in the rain and said loudly outside the window, "Madam, the rain is too great for the horse to walk." β
"Then let's find a place to shelter from the rain first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Su suddenly remembered something, and said, "Just ahead, I remember that there is a pavilion, not far away, we can go there to take shelter from the rain." β
"Good!"
The coachman raised his whip again, and this time he did not go fast, and the wheels staggered all the way through the mud, until he finally arrived at the pavilion that Su Su had said, and our carriage was parked just outside the pavilion. Su Su jumped out of the car first and held up the umbrella, and then hugged Li'er, I also jumped out of the car, as soon as I stood still, I saw that several carriages in front of me were parked under the trees on the side of the road, Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi also came over with umbrellas.
Li'er stood on the steps, and when he saw him, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Third uncle, come here, this way!" β
Liu Qinghan looked up and saw her, walked over with a smile, put away the oil-paper umbrella as soon as he entered the pavilion, and some mercury rose in the air.
I also laughed, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and then straightened up to look at Liu Qinghan, he smiled: "It's raining so hard." β
"yes, I can't see it in the morning."
"I don't know how long this rain will take."
I remembered the muffled thunder I had just heard, and said, "Lei Gong sang first, and there was not much rain." β
He was stunned: "What do you mean?" β
"Xichuan folk proverb, this rain doesn't last long."
"Oh?" He smiled, "Interesting. β
The pavilion was not large, just enough for a few of us to sit, and the rest of the guards and retinue were standing around. As soon as they sat down, Wen Fengxi handed Liu Qinghan a handkerchief and pointed to his face, he reached out and touched it, and the mask was full of rain.
I'm afraid that under the mask......
Thinking of his half face full of scars, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart.
He took the handkerchief, and also subconsciously glanced at us, Li'er was nestled in my arms, looking at them with blank eyes, he hesitated for a moment, only wiped the raindrops on the mask with the handkerchief.
Li'er looked at him and suddenly said, "Third uncle, don't you wipe your face?" β
"Well, no."
"But your face is still wet."
"It'll be done in a moment."
"Li'er will help you wipe itβ"
As soon as her words fell, Liu Qinghan felt as if he was being burned by fire, and the whole person bounced up from the stone bench at once: "No need!" β
I didn't expect him to react so much, but it shocked me.
He himself seemed to feel something, looking at me and Li'er looking at him with big eyes, he was embarrassed to get up, coughed lightly, and the surrounding guards and entourage all seemed to be unconscious, and none of them looked back, so he sat back in a daze, and covered his mask with one hand, as if to make sure that no one would take it off. I remembered that I asked Li'er if he was afraid of his face, but Li'er said that Liu Qinghan was afraid of her and afraid that she would take off his mask, as he said.
Looking down at my daughter, who pouted and complained a little about "kindness is not rewarded", I couldn't help but smile in my heart.
Little Devil Star!
Although it was raining outside, this small pavilion was full of warmth and laughter because of Li'er, she was really energetic, she climbed on me for a while to hug me, and then pestered Liu Qinghan to weave for her, and Wen Fengxi told her the story of Ziyu Hanzhong. I didn't expect that Wen Fengxi, such a soldier, would actually tell my daughter stories about gods and ghosts, and it was strange that Li'er was still lying on his knees and listening to it with relish.
A story is not finished, but in response to what I just said, the rain has slowly faded.
At that moment, a sound was heard in the distance on the main road where we came.
That voice, we have been on the road these days, but it is not unfamiliar.
It's a brigade of people.
This road is not remote, and naturally there are many caravans and travelers to walk, but I don't know which family came over, did they also come to this pavilion to take shelter from the rain? It's a cramped place, it's already crowded with us, and if they want to come again, I'm afraid it won't be easy to squeeze.
While thinking about it, several of us couldn't help but look at that road.
I saw a misty rain, and at the other end of the road, a carriage slowly turned over.
The carriage was very large, larger than many royal carriages I had seen before, and it was antique, and the carriage was very well enclosed, and the surrounding carriages were carved with delicate patterns of flying tigers, and painted with colored paint, and when it was rained, it became more and more vivid and vivid; The carriage was drawn by two tall white horses, and the horses were very beautiful, but now they were soaked in the rain, and they kept throwing their manes and splashing water droplets, and they were running towards this direction.
And after the carriage, there were several carriages, pulling a long procession, followed on both sides by some guards on horseback, but they were all wearing robes and hats, although the rain was not heavy, but these people were hurrying with their heads down, and they could not see their appearance clearly, but faintly felt that the momentum of the team was extraordinary, as if a dark cloud was floating towards us.
Almost subconsciously, our guards around the pavilion were all solemn.
In a few moments, the horses' hooves were trampling through the rain, the wheels were running over the mud, and the convoy had come to a halt in front of us.
At this time, Li'er ran to my side, nestled in my arms, and watched with wide eyes.
I saw that the guards who followed the first carriage lowered their reins, jumped off their horses, and trampled on the muddy ground, and the muddy water splashed everywhere, while several of our guards guarding outside the pavilion had also risen to meet them, standing on the stone steps.
"Who?"
The guards didn't take down the hats, but felt a few restrained eyes looking through the shadows, glanced at the people in the pavilion, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask, but Miss Yan's car?" β
When I heard this, I was stunned - looking for me?
Wen Fengxi and Liu Qinghan also glanced at me, and Wen Fengxi had already stood up and walked over.
The guards moved to both sides, and Wen Fengxi stood at the entrance of the pavilion with his hands behind his back: "Who are you?" β
"I'm waiting for someone Yan to send to greet Miss Yan."
"Oh......"
When Wen Fengxi heard this, he was a little surprised, looked back at me, and seemed to ask, "Do you know?" βγ
I frowned.
Yan Qingchen sent someone to pick me up?
If you want to say that I left the Sister Gui Tower to come here, although he didn't say it, but I also know that the guards who came with me also have people from the Xichuan Yan family, in fact, after entering the territory of Xichuan, they are already under his control, not to mention, it has come to this point, and it is impossible for me to escape anymore, and now he is doing such a play, what is the matter?
So he got up and walked out.
The rain was even lighter, only a few wisps of cool rain and dew were blown on my face by the wind, and as soon as I walked to Wen Fengxi's side, the few people with hats had already leaned over me and saluted: "Miss." β
I smiled faintly: "You know the rules. β
"This part of the road is not easy to walk, so I came to greet the eldest lady."
"The road is not easy to walk, it is easy to follow you?"
This sentence naturally blocked them, and these guards were also honest, and when they heard what I said, they all bowed their heads and said, "Miss, please stop being angry." β
ββ¦β¦β
"The road is not easy to walk, we protect the eldest lady, and the road is easy to walk."
ββ¦β¦β
"Please also ask the eldest lady to get in the car."
I frowned and didn't speak, Li'er and Su Su both stepped forward and stood behind me, Li'er grabbed my sleeve and looked out, looking straight at the big carriage with big eyes.
At this time, Liu Qinghan also stood up and walked over slowly.
The robe on his body had just been drenched, and at this time it was steamed by the body temperature, and there was a breath that belonged to him that slowly steamed up, and I subconsciously glanced at him, but found that it seemed that just now, he had taken off his mask and wiped the rain off his face.
At this moment, he looked at the convoy, and then at the guards under the steps, and said calmly: "Your eldest lady is on the same road as us, and the road is easy to walk." Besides, it is not far from Chengdu. β
The guards seemed to have a sinking breath: "When the people of the court come, the road has become difficult!" β
As soon as the words fell, Wen Fengxi's gaze was horizontal: "What are you talking about?!" β
Several guards around him had already touched the hilt of the knife, and those few people reacted faster, and with a few sounds, the knife had already been pulled out of its scabbard for a few minutes, and suddenly the cold light seeped into people!
The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became tense.
