CHAPTER XXXVI

Shen Huaiyu's May Seven is very grand.

Paper people, paper horses, pavilions, pavilions, jade trees and flowers, piles of gold and silver mountains go out for a few miles, provoking the people in Gulan Town to rush out to watch.

respectfully put a set of old clothes worn by Shen Huaiyu before his death on the Wangxiang platform built overnight, and toasted three glasses of wine sadly in front of the paid tribute table, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on Zhao Qing's forehead.

Resisting the disgust aroused by the pungent smell of wine, Zhao Qing leaned softly in Xia Zhu's arms.

When the eldest lady saw it, she discussed the second wife who insisted on coming with her and asked Zhao Qing to go back first, "...... After a while, the smell of the depot was even greater, and it burned the child. ”

Seeing that she looked weak, the second wife nodded.

“…… The one next to the uncle who wore royal blue silk satin was Yin Kun, the only son of our Gulan Town County Ling Yin, and the one who wore the dark blue trimmed royal blue sprinkled satin robe was Qi Shiyuan, the young owner of the Xinling Sanhe Dart Bureau, and the eldest master personally accompanied the third master and hurriedly left after the incense was Fu Wannian, the commander of the capital of Tanxi Province...... "The carriage went down the mountain, the road gradually stabilized, and seeing that Zhao Qing's expression was better, Chunlan began to introduce her to the people who came to the festival today.

The commander of the provincial capital division?

Zhao Qing remembered "Da Chu Zhi" in Shen Huaiyu's study.

The local jurisdiction of the state of Chu has the political envoy department, the criminal envoy department, and the envoy department, all of which command the envoy department, that is, the capital division that Xia Zhu said, which is in charge of the administration, justice, and military of a province, and the three divisions are not subordinate to each other, and each is responsible for the central government.

The commander of the capital is the supreme commander of the military of a province, which is equivalent to the commander of the modern provincial military district, such a big official......

"Why did you come to the festival of the third master?" She asked, puzzled.

The Great Chu Zhi recorded that Emperor Taizu listened to the words of Empress Taizu and ascended to the throne in one fell swoop with the help of the financial resources of private merchants and the power of the Zhao family.

But no matter how high the status is, in the Shinong industry and commerce, the business is also the last.

Fu Wannian, as the commander-in-chief of a province, personally came to worship Shen Huaiyu!

"The slave maid doesn't know, I heard Mother Liu say that he and the third master are kowtow brothers......"

As he spoke, there was a commotion outside.

Chunlan reached out and lifted the curtain.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know whose horse is shocked, the third grandmother quickly stops the carriage!" Mother Wu hurriedly ran over.

"Dodge, dodge......"

"The horse is shocked, the horse is shocked!"

……

Hearing the shouts of chaos outside, Zhao Qing hurriedly grabbed the support frame next to the car seat.

"Drive, drive......"

Seeing a tall red horse rushing towards him like crazy, the coachman waved his whip vigorously and tried to drive the carriage to the side of the road.

I don't know if I was panicked or what, after driving the carriage for more than ten years, I lost my hand, and I was obviously going to the left, and I swung it down, and the horse ran to the right with a whip.

There was a loud creaking, and the whole carriage was lying across the road.

The blue-brown horse in front of the carriage sneezed suddenly, and no matter how the coachman whipped it, he just didn't move.

Seeing that the frightened horse was still a few feet away, the coachman jumped out of the carriage in fright, threw his whip, and fled towards the woods by the roadside.

The mother-in-law who was in front of the car also fled and disappeared, only Wu's mother panted around the carriage, "...... The horse is not leaving, the third grandmother is coming down! ”

Just get out of the way and let the startled horses rush over and you'll be fine.

But on the contrary, their carriage was in the middle of the road, and the coachman was gone...... She also escaped to the back of the carriage because she suddenly turned around, and at this time it was too late to go forward to pick up Zhao Qing and get off the car, so she just shouted desperately, "Third grandma, jump down quickly and escape to the woods!" ”

On the carriage, Zhao Qing was on the left, Chunlan was on the right, and as soon as the car came sideways, Zhao Qing was facing the startled horse.

Getting out of the car from Zhao Qing's side was sure that she couldn't escape the startled iron hooves, Chunlan jumped down without thinking about it, and shouted in her mouth, "...... The third grandmother is stable first, and the slave will pick you up when she goes down. ”

Plop, a dog gnawed on, and Chunlan crawled on the ground.

It hit her head and her head buzzed.

It took a while before I came to my senses.

Regardless of the pain like pins and needles all over her body, Chunlan gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up with her hands on the frame, stretching out her two hands, "Third grandma, jump down!" ”

With her at the bottom, Zhao Qing can always have a cushion when she jumps down, and there is a sharp pain in her ankle, which makes Chunlan clearly feel that she will not be able to survive today, but with her at the bottom, her third grandmother can escape her life.

After dragging it for a while, seeing that Zhao Qing was still motionless and sitting quietly on the carriage, Chunlan was so anxious that she shouted hoarsely, "Third Grandma is about to ......" Halfway through the words, her eyes widened in shock, and the whole person froze like a stone sculpture.

In the infinitely dilated pupils, there is also the image of the startled horse on the opposite side raising its four hooves and stepping towards the carriage.

"It's over......"

Before fainting, Chunlan read a sentence in despair.

******

On the path on the left, several hurried fast horses galloped down the mountain, and immediately several soap-clothed men were covered with dust and looked tired.

“…… The Yichun River traverses the two provinces of Tanxi and Ningsu, passing through nine state capitals and forty-three towns and counties. On the back of the black-brown horse, which was half of the horse's head, a man with clear eyebrows looked worriedly at the resolute back of the red horse in front of him, which was covered in brocade, "You have been out for twenty days...... Or, the Seventh Master will go back first, and his subordinates will continue to lead people to search for the state capital along the Yichun River? ”

The man on the red horse was speechless.

“…… Vice General Guo sent a letter, Vice General Zhao has wanted to break into the commander's account several times, trying to find out if you are in the army or not? The man on the black-brown horse added, "He and the Ink Ginseng Leader are almost unable to hold on." ”

Several people were Li Ji, the seventh prince who secretly left the barracks to find the Seventh Imperial Concubine, and it was his adviser Li Yuzhi who spoke.

Although it is hypothetical and real, the suspicious array will confuse the opponent, but it can't stand Vice General Zhao from going on a rampage like this.

He is the nephew of the queen!

Once the one on the Jinluan Palace knew that his generals had left their posts without permission in front of the two armies, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Looking at the resolute back, Li Yuzhi's eyes were full of worry.

The air was strangely dull, only the sound of trampling horses' hooves and the sound of salsa blowing in the treetops were heard, just when Li Yuzhi couldn't help but want to persuade again, Li Ji's deep voice came:

"How far is it to Gulan Town?"

Li Yuzhi's expression was shocked, "The general is really going to sacrifice Shen Huaiyu?" ”

"Today is his fifth seventh, I hope I can catch it in time......"

"General...... How could it be...... Meet Shen Sanye? Li Yuzhi said confusedly.

One is a humble folk businessman, and the other is a high-ranking prince.

How could they intersect?

When did this happen?

Li Yuzhi couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, he looked straight at Li Ji.

The back of the horse in front stiffened, and as soon as Li Ji used his feet, the war horse under him suddenly sped up.

Li Yuzhi shook his head helplessly.

"Out of this path, it's ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a shout outside the forest.

"Dodge, dodge......"

“…… The horse was shocked! ”

……

Slightly stunned, a few people urged the horses to run out of the path, and immediately saw several men running forward with sweaty heads, shouting:

"Get out of the way, the horse is scared!"

Mixed with the screams of the people on the side of the road, the road was chaotic.

Li Ji, who was running at the front, suddenly turned around.

I saw a red frightened horse behind him rushing madly towards a blue carriage in the middle of the road not far away, and the skirt of the car was flying, as if someone had fallen under the wheels.

Not good!

Without saying a word, Li Ji grabbed the stiff rope, clamped the horse's body between his legs, turned around and chased after him.

Although it was a good horse that traveled 1,000 a day and 800 at night, after all, the distance was too close, and when he saw that he had caught up with half a horse, the startled horse had already raised four kicks high and stepped towards the carriage.

"Seventh Master be careful!" Li Yuzhi shouted, "It's too late." Muttered in a low voice, and Li Yuzhi had already grabbed the reins and stopped.

It's useless, they can't catch up at all.

Several other people also hugged the reins and looked up at Li Ji in front of them.

I saw Li Ji prop up his legs, directly lifted half of his body from the horse's back, and reached out to grab the reins around the neck of the startled horse, but unfortunately, the distance was too far, despite his superb equestrian skills, his hand still fell short, and the reins on the horse's neck grazed his fingertips and were thrown high into the air, and the front hooves raised by the startled horse were already less than a foot away from the top of Zhao Qing's carriage!

"It's over, the man in the car is dead!"

Li Yuzhi shook his head regretfully.

The hearts of everyone around Li Yuzhi were also cold, "...... It's useless! As soon as he put his foot hard, he was about to urge him to pick up Li Ji immediately, but several people suddenly froze, and their eyes widened in astonishment.

But seeing that Li Ji, who was still half in the air, did not sit back, he pulled his waist knife with his right hand, and everyone felt a cold light flashing, and there was a red curtain in front of them......

All the voices were gone.

Everyone closed their eyes in horror.

When he opened his eyes, he suddenly realized that the action of drawing the knife just now was just a dream, Li Ji's knife was still lying in the sheath, and he pressed the back of the red horse with his right hand, shook off the horse pedal with his right foot, and kicked the startled horse that was still rushing forward with a flying leg in mid-air......

Slowly, in fact, this series of actions is also in the blink of an eye.

It's all over.

Seeing Li Ji sit back on the horse's back calmly, holding the reins around the neck of the frightened horse that was about to run away with his hooves, and bringing the carriage across the middle of the road to the side of the road and stopping steadily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“…… Oh my horse! ”

Suddenly, a heart-rending wail suddenly sounded.

The crowd gathered around him was taken aback.

They all turned back.

Suddenly, I found that the startled horse kicked out by Li Ji was only a body, blood was gurgling down the arteries in the neck, and a man in cloth clothes was lying on the horse crying and wailing...... I don't know when the horse's head has been chopped off by Li Ji with a knife!

Sky!

This, this, this is too ......

Everyone trembled and frightened, and some of the timid fainted in fright.

Looking at Li Ji again, his eyes were full of awe.

Loosening the carriage stiff rope, Li Ji dusted off his body, and was about to straddle the horse to leave, when he heard a slight sound from the carriage behind him, he subconsciously turned around.

The royal blue curtain with ten thousand characters on the head is cut off by the sharp blade, revealing a half-motionless and slightly rounded figure, a soft and snow-bullying frost and snow is holding the frame peacefully, and a little red blood splashed on the moon-white plain brocade gown suddenly blooms in the snow, delicate and eye-catching.

It turned out to be a woman?

Li Ji was slightly surprised.

There was no screaming, no panic jumping out of the carriage, just now it was so thrilling outside and the people inside didn't move, he thought it was some well-informed prince, or, he was already frightened.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a woman!

Such a sober and calm woman!

Who is she?

How could there be such a courageous woman in such a remote town?

Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change!

Li Ji, who was about to leave on horseback, suddenly grabbed the reins again.

For a moment, he wanted to open the half-torn royal blue brocade and see the beauty inside......
