This departure from Beijing was not hidden from the Duchess and the Empress.

The queen was happy all night because King Yan finally had a chance to accumulate merits.

He also wrote a letter to his family, so that King Baoyan could borrow soldiers from the Su family smoothly.

Xie Yunyan and the others took advantage of the time when King Yan borrowed troops to rush to Yuzhou first, and agreed with King Yan on the time and place of the meeting.

After Mrs. Qi learned that Qi Chengan was leaving, she subverted everyone's expectations, and happily told Qi Chengan to write letters to her from time to time, telling her everything that happened along the way.

In this way, when the people were in spring, several carriages left the gate of Kyoto and headed south.

Fengwolf Mountain is said to be Yuzhou, but in fact, it is just the only way from Kyoto to Yuzhou.

It has no specific belonging, towering in the middle of Yuzhou and Tongcheng, stretching into a long line of emerald green, dividing the boundary between Yuzhou and Tongcheng.

The team had increased to four, and each of them would bring a guard, so it was inevitable that there would be a delay in the journey.

When I stepped on the land of Phoenix Wolf Mountain, it was already ten days later.

Ning Shu instructed Xuan Feng to stop by the stream where he had rested, and said to everyone: "After here, if you look for a water source, you will have to climb to the top of the mountain." ”

"The mountains here are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the Martha masters chose this place as a stronghold." Qi Chengan's face was full of seriousness when handling the case, and it was full of excitement due to curiosity.

On the contrary, he is like a person who goes out to play.

Shen Yu untied the kettle, filled the spring with water, and also glanced at the rolling mountains, and sighed: "It is really rare that Mrs. Xie was able to find this place alone at that time. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yunyan was stunned and took a deep look at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu smiled lightly, "Because I don't believe he will die so easily." ”

"Tsk."

Qi Chengan patted Xie Yunyan on the shoulder, "Brother Xie really married a good wife, and he didn't wait in vain after waiting for so many years." ”

"Hurry up and get ready to go, we have to rush to the cottage before it gets completely dark." Xie Yunyan said coldly.

Qi Cheng'an closed his mouth knowingly, this kind of mountain really needs to be hurried as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he was worried that he would become a delicacy for the beasts of the mountains before he met the mountain bandits.

After a brief rest, several people boarded the carriage again.

In the carriage, gusts of mountain wind blew in, making the air in the carriage full of spring.

Xie Yunyan looked at Ning Shu for a long time before he couldn't help asking, "You're not afraid of danger?" ”

The Ning Shu in his impression is always a calm expression.

Is there really nothing in the world that can stir up waves on the tip of her heart?

Standing in Fengwolf Mountain, he was a little worried about the safety of everyone at this moment, and Ning Shu at that time went to the mountain bandits' nest with hundreds of people alone in order to find himself, so he was not afraid at all?

Ning Shu shook her head, leaned against the car window, and stared at the scenery outside, "What is more terrifying than danger is the news of your death." ”

The seemingly unintentional sentence actually pulled Ning Shu's thoughts back to that desperate day.

She refused to believe that Xie Yunyan died like that, but the emperor's personal edict made her fall into despair.

Looking all the way, relying on the obsession in my heart, I can't lose Xie Yunyan's obsession.

Now that I think about it, I feel that I was really courageous.

Ning Shu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yunyan, her soft voice full of concern.

"Don't put yourself in danger anymore, don't worry people anymore."

Xie Yunyan's heart felt as if he had been stabbed by something, and he was moved to the point of stinging.

"I'm sorry."

He reached out to grab Ning Shu into his arms, "I apologize for what I did to worry you." ”

Ning Shu followed his strength, snuggled in his arms, and nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, sweetness is always very short-lived, and behind the carriage, Qi Cheng'an's sudden shouting voice came, almost shaking the entire valley.

"Stop, stop, there's someone in the back!"

He was also too excited, he had never been out of the capital, like a frightened bird, any wind and grass could attract his attention and make him nervous.

Originally, riding with Shen Yu, the two were playing chess, but who knew that the mountain wind blew open the corner of the curtain, so that Qi Chengan accidentally saw that not far behind the team, there were also two carriages galloping in their direction.

Look at that posture, it looks like an assassin!

Qi Chengan didn't know the depth of Shen Yu's martial arts, so he got out of the carriage in a panic, and hurriedly ran to Xie Yunyan's carriage, shouting for help: "Brother Xie, hurry, there are assassins!" ”

Shen Yu also got out of the carriage at this time, and after glancing at the carriage behind him, he frowned slightly.

Ning Shu hurriedly fled from Xie Yunyan's chest, and at the same time, Qi Chengan also lifted the curtain of the car and said in horror: "Brother Xie! Oh no! ”

"If Brother Qi was so afraid, don't follow him in the first place!" Xie Yunyan hadn't felt enough of the warmth he had just succeeded, but he was disrupted by Qi Chengan, and his mood was extremely unhappy.

Qi Chengan immediately pretended to be calm and pointed to the approaching carriage behind, "Don't believe it, look-"

He looked further in the direction of his finger and saw that the curtain of the carriage was still inlaid with delicate jewels.

Look at it like this is all a horse-drawn carriage for women!

Xie Yunyan also saw it, and while disgusted with Qi Chengan's fuss, he also became curious.

As a woman, how dare she step into Fengwolf Mountain so lightly?

"Phew!" The coachman tightened the reins from a distance, just enough to control the horse to stop not far from the group.

A woman dressed in red in the car hurriedly got out of the car, and when she saw a few people in front of her, people on both sides were stunned.

"Tse-ma'am?"

"Miss Cui?" Ning Shu looked at Cui Qi in surprise.

Cui Qi recognized Xie Yunyan and Qi Chengan, but never spoke.

On the contrary, Ning Shu had a relationship with her not long ago, so she thought that she was Ning Shu's acquaintance, and stepped forward to Ning Shu's body: "Why is Mrs. Xie here?" ”

"But why did Miss Cui enter Phoenix Wolf Mountain?" Of course, the purpose of Ning Shu and the others could not be explained to Cui Qi, so she asked Cui Qi rhetorically.

Cui Qi smiled awkwardly and lowered her head.

"After the spring feast, my mother felt that the weather was still good, so she asked me to stay at my grandmother's house for a few days."

Ning Shu nodded understandingly.

The Cui family is an upstart, and the strength is unstable, and the queen's unintentional mistakes will make the Cui family like a rumor.

If you want Cui Qi to leave Beijing temporarily to avoid the limelight, it is also a good choice to be self-assured.

It's just—

Ning Shu frowned and looked at Cui Qi, "Miss Cui brought a maid and a coachman?" ”

Cui Qiying said: "Well, I left in a hurry, and in order to speed up the journey, I had to delete the people who accompanied me." ”

"It's just that when I walked to the town at the foot of the mountain, I learned that there were mountain bandits rampant nearby, and I thought you were in a hurry, so I accelerated and chased after you, wanting to walk with you for a while."

Cui Qi glanced at Qi Chengan embarrassedly, just now he shouted that there was an assassin, and all of them had already reached Cui Qi's ears with the mountain wind.
