Chapter 20: Chance Encounters
The trees on the official road are numerous, uneven, the sunlight shines through the gaps, projected on the road, there are many pedestrians on the road, Xiyun looks out the window, a green mountain forest, occasionally you can see the pastoral cottage in the distance, all the way is also comfortable.
After sitting in the carriage for two days, early in the morning of the third day, Xiyun woke up from the bumps, and his stomach churned. Seeing that the young lady's face was not good, Ning Xiang hurriedly stopped the carriage.
Xiyun got out of the carriage in a daze, stood on the road, held his chest to stabilize his mind, and felt that his internal organs were quiet, "Ning Xiang, I want to walk for a while, you go back to the car and sit." "Now she is pale, every time Daddy goes out, this carriage looks convenient, and it is really too tormenting.
Ning Xiang and Jasper looked at each other, but they were helpless, and the carriage also scared them. Subsequently, they also followed behind Xiyun and walked. Just like that, a group of people, walking during the day, sleeping in the car at night, walking and stopping.
Xiyun and the others are walking on the official road, and there are not many people coming and going, seeing that their group is walking with an empty carriage, many people will look at them with curiosity.
Half a month passed like this, and on this day, they came to an open place, and saw a very wide river on the left side of the road, and Xiyun ordered the coachman to wait beside the car. They walked through a green meadow with unknown wildflowers. After the grassland, it was the river beach with bluestone piles, and the three of them helped each other to the river.
Ning Xiang used a small wooden basin to drink a little water, and let Xiyun wash his face. It's just that they don't know that their every move is watched by a pair of master and servant sitting on the rocks on the side. Xiyun finished scrubbing her face and patted the dust on her body with her hand, and she felt that a gaze seemed to be watching her all along. She looked up to meet the sight of the man sitting on the rock, and hurriedly lowered her head, secretly thinking that the man's face was a little familiar.
"Miss, isn't that the boy we bumped into in the market?" Ning Xiang also noticed the two of them, and said softly in Xiyun's ear. Only then did Xiyun think about it, no wonder it was so familiar, it wasn't that the enemies didn't get together. She hurriedly got Ning Xiang and Jasper ready and went back.
"Master, for your injury, I'll go and ask passers-by for some medicinal powder." Qi Feng looked at the man in black with some concern.
"It's okay, it's just a small injury." The man said lightly.
Hearing their conversation, when Xiyun was leaving, she glanced at the man, the man in black seemed to have an injury on his leg, and his trouser leg was damaged, and he must have suffered a lot of injury, she was a little curious about his origin, but every time, she felt that there was an evil aura in that person, so she didn't dare to approach.
Walking to the car, Xiyun asked Ning Xiang to take out a bottle of hemostatic medicine powder in the baggage, and instructed Biyu to hand over the medicine powder to the two people on the rock.
When Biyu returned from delivering the medicine, Xiyun asked Uncle Liu to set off. After walking a short distance, she still couldn't rest assured that the person just now, and felt that it was inappropriate to throw them down like this, listening to Uncle Liu say that there was still an hour away from Yudu City, and after thinking about it, she told Uncle Liu to turn back, and when she got on the side of the road just now, she got out of the car, and she asked Biyu to ask the two to get in the car.
Qi Feng hugged the man in black and walked to the car, Uncle Liu looked at the two people, and secretly said to Ning Xiang, "Ning Xiang, you don't persuade Miss, these two people have no background, don't rush to help, for fear of catching fire." ”
"Uncle Liu, Biyu and I have persuaded us several times, but Miss doesn't listen." Ning Xiang was also anxious to jump at this time, on the one hand, she was afraid of being recognized, and on the other hand, she was also afraid that they were bad people, but how could they be good.
"Thank you for your help, and I will definitely repay you for your great kindness when I have the opportunity in the future." Qi Feng helped the man in black into the carriage and thanked him.
Ning Xiang was thinking about what to say, but Xiyun hurriedly stopped her, "No need to say thank you, there is Yudu City in front, and we will also take you to the City Chinese Medicine Hall by the way." He said to Liu Qing again, "Uncle Liu, let's go." ”
Xiao Jingchen sat alone in the car, looking at the little boy outside through the window. He was surprised that she was able to return and pick them up, and it was clear that her servants did not seem to want to return. In fact, he had already recognized them, and he knew on the streets of Yuncheng that they were women dressed as men, just now at the water's edge, their appearance was obviously a girl's style, but even if they were dressed in men's clothes, they couldn't hide the woman's beautiful face, and he liked her with a smart temperament in her leisure.
"Miss, at our rate, when will we be able to get to Shiqi Academy?" Ning Xiang whispered to Xiyun and complained.
"Shhh Xiyun tapped the top of Ning Xiang's head. Thinking that when she saw the man in black by the river just now, she felt that the man in black was a little similar to the head of Shiqi Academy, and her good impression of him couldn't help but improve a lot, which was also one of the reasons why she turned around.
Xiao Jingchen had already heard it in the car, their conversation, it turned out that they were going to Shiqi Academy on this trip, and his heart rippled slightly, as if he had a plan.
Originally, the road was an hour, but Xiyun and the others walked for more than two hours, and they walked to the city gate in the evening.
"Childe, you see that we have arrived in Yudu City." Ning Xiang couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, they had grown so big, they had never left Cloud City, and this time it could be regarded as a long experience.
Xiyun looked at the city wall in front of him, which seemed to be higher than that of Zhiyun City. The setting sun shines on the high city wall, giving the green bricks a layer of glow and adding a lot of prosperity. She has long heard that Yudu City has been prosperous since ancient times, and it is the richest place in the Tang Kingdom, and Yudu City was originally the first choice for the capital, but Taizu founded the country, so he felt that the capital was here, and the descendants would be indulged in pleasure, and the foundation would be difficult to protect.
Under the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city stood on both sides of the city wall gate. People entering the city need to register under the city gate, Xiyun was about to line up with the flow of people, and a voice came from inside the carriage, "Qi Feng, go." ”
Xiyun stood still, watching Qi Feng easily walk through the crowd and walk to the city gate, I don't know what he said to the soldiers guarding the city, they seemed to be very respectful to him. After a while, he returned.
"Master, we can go." Qi Feng said into the car. Then he turned around and said to Xiyun and them, "You come with me." ”
Xiyun was a little foggy, but he didn't have to wait in a long line to enter the city, and he was happy to do so. She thought to herself, I am afraid that the identity of this master and servant is not simple, I helped them this time, and I hope that I will not meet them again in the future. It's just that what she doesn't know is that this encounter may be doomed to her future disaster.
