Chapter 199: Song Yuanxi is in danger
At the beginning of October, everyone finally arrived in Kyoto, perhaps after spending more than a month in the Jiangnan area, and now they feel very familiar with Kyoto.
The holy driver went back to the palace directly, and the rest of the people also went back to their respective homes.
The next day, Jiang Wanxiu went to Yunxiao Pavilion to find the ghost doctor Guan Yan to grab some medicine for Zhang Xiyue, but she didn't see anyone, only Mo Zixuan was in the hospital.
Seeing Jiang Wanxiu coming, Mo Zixuan invited her to sit in the pavilion.
The two sat opposite each other, and there was a game of chess on the table that had not yet been played.
Mo Zixuan said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, some time ago, you followed the emperor to the south, can you have a good time?" I heard that a lot of big things happened along the way, alas, I would have known that I would go with me, I have never been to the south. ”
Jiang Wanxiu listened to what he said, and always felt as if she had forgotten something important.
Mo Zixuan said casually, "Unlike Shizi, I've been to Yangzhou again these days......
"Shizi, Yangzhou."
"That's right, I'm going to do something, and the ghost doctor Guan Yan has also followed, so you can come here again to grab medicine after a while."
Hearing this, the incident that Jiang Wanxiu had never remembered suddenly appeared in his mind.
After Song Yuanxi came to Yangzhou, a big thing happened......
"Mo Zixuan! Where are they going? Jiang Wanxiu interrupted abruptly.
Hearing this, Mo Zixuan said, "Going to Yangzhou by land, it seems that I want to go there to do something, and then take a boat from Yangzhou to the capital." ”
Yangzhou!
"Mo Zixuan, I want to catch up with the prince immediately and lend me a thousand-mile horse! Trouble lend me! Jiang Wanxiu stood up with a swish, her palms were cold, and her tone was eager.
Mo Zixuan didn't know why, "What are you going to do after Shizi?" Their convoy is so fast that you can't catch up even on horseback. ”
"I can take detours and mountain paths." Jiang Wanxiu's tone was resolute, "We must catch up with him before he arrives in Yangzhou." ”
Mo Zixuan was shocked, "Detour to the mountain? Jiang Wanxiu, what are you kidding, I don't know what bandits and beasts are hiding on the mountain road, you actually go to the mountain road? No way! ”
"You can't catch up with the son of the world by taking the official road, there is only a chance to take the mountain road, he set off yesterday, if I am fast, I can catch up with him before dark tomorrow, at that time he should not have arrived in Yangzhou." Jiang Wanxiu clenched her fists and said, "If you don't borrow a thousand miles, I'll go to the horse shop to buy it." ”
You can't buy a horse, but you can buy a horse with a little better leg strength, and you can do it faster.
Mo Zixuan immediately surrendered, "Okay, okay, I'll lend you, Maxima lend you, I'll go with you, no, your riding skills, don't you know how to ride a horse?" ”
Mo Zixuan remembered that Jiang Wanxiu broke her leg last time while riding a horse.
"That's a lie, I'm pretty good at riding." Jiang Wanxiu said without blinking her eyes.
Hearing this, Mo Zixuan was dumbfounded.
Jiang Wanxiu's riding and shooting were all taught by her brother in her previous life.
"I'll go with you." Mo Zixuan said, "I immediately arranged for someone to prepare Maxima. ”
Jiang Wanxiu said eagerly, "I'm sorry for you." A quarter of an hour later, the gate of Jiang's mansion converged. ”
"Hmm." Mo Zixuan saw that she was in such a hurry, so he didn't ask anything, and turned around to look for Maxima.
Jiang Wanxiu couldn't take care of anything, so she hurriedly returned to Jiang's mansion, carried two silver tickets in her arms, hurriedly went to talk to her mother, and asked Xiling to inform them in the distance, Xia Zhu went to report to the old lady, so she didn't have time to explain more, turned over and left.
Jiang Wanxiu and Mo Zixuan rushed all the way, out of Kyoto City, all the way to the mountain road, and even Mo Zixuan had to admire Jiang Wanxiu's tenacity.
There are very few women who can march so quickly for a day without shouting tired, and they hardly rest along the way, only stopping to drink a sip of water and eat two mouthfuls of dry food when they see a tea stall on the side of the road, and they do not stop until night.
At the end of August, it was already very cold in the mountains, so Mo Zixuan picked up some dry firewood to make a fire, and by the way, he shot two pheasants and grilled them on the bonfire.
Jiang Wanxiu sat silently by the bonfire, with no expression on her plain face.
"You haven't eaten properly all day, eat something hot to warm up." Mo Zixuan tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Jiang Wanxiu, looked at her, and said, "Take a break." ”
Jiang Wanxiu took the chicken leg and pulled out a smile at him, "Thank you." ”
Mo Zixuan also tore a piece of chicken for himself, and said with a smile, "I used to like hunting the most when I was in Kyoto, and my roasting game skills are first-class, although I didn't bring salt, but I picked the juice and applied it on it, you try it, and it tastes good."
Jiang Wanxiu took a bite and nodded at him, "Hmm." ”
"Now you can say, why are you in such a hurry to find Song Yuanxi?" Mo Zixuan asked.
Jiang Wanxiu's gaze fell on the firelight.
Something related to Song Yuanxi.
It was Song Yuanxi who was in Yangzhou and was assassinated by the Demon Sect rebel party who had been ambushed in Yangzhou for a long time.
The Demon Sect dispatched a siege crossbow and shot through Song Yuanxi's carriage, Song Yuanxi's personal guards were killed and wounded countless times, and he himself was seriously injured and missing, and his life and death are unknown.
For this reason, the people of the imperial court looked for him throughout Jiangnan.
The momentum was immense, but it was impossible to find it, and it took two months before Song Yuanxi reappeared.
She had forgotten such an important matter.
The Demon Sect has long been ambushed in Yangzhou, and once Song Yuanxi enters Yangzhou, he will fall into the trap of the other party.
Seriously injured and missing, his fate is unknown, and he returned two months later.
If he can't be stopped, the tragedy will repeat itself, he will be seriously injured, he will be missing, and he will go through two months of unknown life and death that no one knows......
No way. Absolutely not.
"Song Yuanxi is in danger." Jiang Wanxiu pursed her lips.
Mo Zixuan asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
"Yes...... A friend told me that the people of the Demon Sect were in ambush in Yangzhou, just waiting to assassinate Song Yuanxi, and if we can't stop him before he arrives in Yangzhou, then something will happen to Song Yuanxi. Jiang Wanxiu clenched her fists.
Mo Zixuan didn't doubt the authenticity of this news, if it was fake, Jiang Wanxiu wouldn't have rushed out like crazy.
It's just that how did Jiang Wanxiu know about the Demon Sect? And how did he know that Song Yuanxi was going to find the Demon Sect?
Could it be that Song Yuanxi told her everything?
"Why should the Demon Sect have trouble with Song Yuanxi? If you make such a big move in Yangzhou, aren't you afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court? Mo Zixuan asked pretending to be puzzled.
Jiang Wanxiu looked at the bonfire silently and didn't speak again, but a worry lingered in her heart.
After another day's journey, when it was almost dark, I finally arrived outside Yangzhou City, and I happened to see Song Yuanxi and his party about to enter the city.
"Wait! Don't go in! Jiang Wanxiu whipped her horsewhip and rushed over.
"What people!" The guards raised their swords one after another, and surrounded Jiang Wanxiu tightly, and I don't know how many swords, guns, and swords rain against her.
Mo Zixuan's face changed when he saw this scene, "Stop!" Put the knife down! Shiziye, it's me. ”
In the carriage, Song Yuanxi was lying down to recuperate from his injuries.
The injury to his abdomen was so severe that he had to lie down to recuperate.
The Shadow Cult appeared in Linzhou and kidnapped his men, and Song Yuanxi fell into a trap to save them and was seriously injured.
Fortunately, all of them have been saved, because the Shadowshale Cult has always been targeting him.
If he stays in Linzhou, the Shadow Evil Sect will also be in Linzhou.
It's better to return to Beijing, and those guys will have to give up.
But I didn't expect to be lying in the carriage and closing my eyes to recuperate, when I heard a familiar cold voice, it was Jiang Wanxiu.
Song Yuanxi suspected that he had auditory hallucinations, and the next moment, he heard Mo Zixuan outside reporting to his home.
Lin Ze said, "Master, I'll go out and take a look, it seems to be the voices of Miss Jiang and Master Mo." ”
In the carriage, Song Yuanxi was half-lying in the wall of the carriage, covered with a white velvet blanket of a silver fox, his silver hair was hanging down and flowing, and his long and narrow eyes were deep.
"Song Yuanxi." Jiang Wanxiu saw him and said straight to the point, "There are people from the Shadow Sect in Yangzhou City, who have already ambushed and assassinated you, you can't go in." ”
Song Yuan raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?" ”
"Yes......" Jiang Wanxiu thought for a while, and in order to enhance the persuasiveness of this news, she said seriously, "It was my cronies who told me, you know, I have secret agents." ”
Song Yuanxi looked at Jiang Wanxiu and raised a meaningful smile, "I didn't know you had this ability?" ”
"You don't know much!" Jiang Wanxiu smiled coldly, "Anyway, you can't help but believe me."
"Yangzhou City has really set up a chess game to invite you into the urn, once you enter, the danger is unpredictable."
Song Yuan snorted, "Since it was discovered by your secret agent, it is true, Lin Ze, I will not go to Yangzhou City, return to the previous state and county, and go directly to Beijing by the Grand Canal." ”
"But master, ...... Yangzhou over there" Lin Ze was stunned.
The master did go to Yangzhou to have an important thing to do.
Just for the sake of this untrue news, I didn't go to Yangzhou, and went directly to Beijing by canal, isn't this a bit gullible?
With Jiang Wanxiu's identity, how could she get such confidential information? The credibility of this news is very low.
Song Yuanxi looked at Jiang Wanxiu, with a slight smile in his eyes, "I believe in her." ”
"I see." Lin Ze nodded.
Jiang Wanxiu listened to Lin Ze's tone, they seemed to have something to do that they had to do in Yangzhou, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't see half of the enemy, so Song Yuanxi decided not to do it.
Turn around and leave.
This kind of trust is a little warm.
"After two days of traveling, I finally caught up, Lord Shizi, this time thanks to Miss Jiang for saving you from a catastrophe, you have to thank her." Mo Zixuan looked at Jiang Wanxiu and said.
Song Yuanxi was stunned, "Two days? How did you catch up? ”
Kyoto is from here, and it takes at least three days to walk through the official road.
"Day and night, around the mountain roads and trails, in order to send you news, someone is sleeping in the open air, all the way." Mo Zixuan said.
Jiang Wanxiu couldn't help but glance at him and signaled not to talk nonsense.
However, Mo Zixuan definitely didn't want to give in, but he also wanted Song Yuanxi to know clearly how Jiang Wanxiu treated him.
Such a woman, he doesn't know how to cherish it, so he doesn't blame him for robbing it.
It's a bit contradictory, but he, Mo Zixuan, is such a person.
"Jiang Wanxiu." Song Yuanxi stretched out a hand, took Jiang Wanxiu's hand and approached her, her eyes fell on her body and swept up and down, "After riding a horse for two days, your legs are ......"
Jiang Wanxiu glared at him, "You disciple, it's hard to see my legs!" ”
Song Yuanxi couldn't help but chuckle.
It's like he's never seen it.
Seeing Song Yuanxi smiling, Jiang Wanxiu instantly understood what he was laughing at, and her face flushed slightly unconsciously.
Seeing the two of them like this, Mo Zixuan consciously withdrew from the carriage.
When I got out, I sighed a little that I couldn't help it.
What is he doing? Obviously, he also likes Jiang Wanxiu!
But he felt so sorry for her that he was so distressed...... I don't want her to be let down.
"What she wants most is definitely not her own concern, but his." Mo Zixuan pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and remembered Jiang Wanxiu's smile last night.
She still looks good when she laughs.
Jiang Wanxiu, you should smile more.
